After grabbing the captives and returning to the Kailun tribe, Ren Ning took out fodder to feed Zhui Feng, a great hero.
He shook the hay in his hand thoughtfully.
It is not a problem to fill the horse's stomach with this thing, but it cannot sustain the high energy consumption required when the war horse runs wildly. Zhui Feng is still growing, so nutrition cannot be saved.
He didn't have much of the valuable horse food left with him when he came out. He had to deal with the horse thieves as soon as possible and rush back to the fortress as soon as possible.
After looking at the sky, Ren Ning found the three clan leaders and said, "Third clan leaders, I have to go out for a while. I may not be back in the next two days. You should be careful and take precautions."
The three patriarchs were in deep sorrow.
A dozen or so young tribesmen who were fine fell silently in front of him in the blink of an eye. He couldn't help but feel a little angry and short of breath.
"Go!" The three patriarchs were very polite, "Where are you going, little brother?"
"Sit back and wait." Ren Ning replied briefly.
He filled the arrow pot, reached out to pat Zhui Feng, and left the Kailun tribe in front of the confused eyes of the three clan leaders.
Yunchui's scouts are ruthless, and Xiliang's scouts cannot give in too much.
The envoy yesterday knew that he would be in bad luck if he lied, but he still lied.
At this time, Ren Ning was no longer interested in the horse thief who had just been captured alive.
If this person could stay and prepare to ambush the Kailun people who were chasing after him, he must have made up his mind to make a break. The whereabouts of the other horse thieves are still a question mark.
Even if he knows and tells the location, whether it is true or false is still unknown.
Ren Ning decided to find it on his own.
After these few days, he and the Kailun tribe killed a total of 46 horse thieves and 51 horses. On the vast grassland, without horses, it would be quite useless, so the five horseless scouts could be ignored.
As a result, more than half of the entire gang of horse thieves has been lost. If you want to launch another attack on the Kailun tribe, you must be cautious.
In addition, the Benlu tribe supported by the horse thieves has lost its leader.
Once the horse thieves receive the news, they may want to regain control of Benlu. And those in the Benlu tribe who have taken refuge in the Prairie Royal Court also want to seek their help.
Therefore, the area between Bendeer and Kailun may be able to catch rabbits.
Zhui Feng was moving very fast, and one person and one horse disappeared in the blink of an eye to the north of the Kailun tribe.
Every few miles, Renning's hidden landmarks bear the signs of scouts hanging in the clouds.
In the middle of the night, Ren Ning found a shelter and was preparing to rest.
Suddenly the sound of the prairie eagle owl rang out all around.
He perked up and responded quickly.
Not long after, a disguised Yun Chui scout appeared in front of Ren Ning.
"River of Fireflies, Li Liang!"
Ren Ning nodded.
Yinghuo River, also called Yingchuan County, is located in the southwest of Yunzui.
There is a big river in the county; and every midsummer night, the entire county is filled with fireflies, hence the name Yingchuan. It is one of the most fertile counties in the empire.
"Emperor..." Ren Ning originally wanted to continue using the imperial capital to introduce his origin, but he changed it in time as soon as he opened his mouth, "Xingluo County, Ren Ning!"
"I recognize you, the super marksman on the competition stage." Li Liang chuckled, "Are you from Xingluo?"
"It turns out we are neighbors."
Ren Ning chuckled.
Li Liang's hometown, Yingchuan County, is right next to Xingluo County. It is true that they are neighbors.
"What's going on here?" Li Liang didn't say much.
Ren Ning explained in detail the affairs of the Kailun and Benlu tribes and the horse thieves.
Finally he asked: "Are there any other brothers nearby?"
Li Liang stopped recording and shook his head, "Probably not. At least I haven't seen any other marks."
Ren Ning nodded, and he was not surprised.
A few days ago, the fortress sent a large army to march westward.
Because of the fire, all the leading scouts in Xiliang were lost.
The Xiliang army, which had lost its sight, actually continued to advance eastward. As a result, before it reached the border, it was beaten to a pulp by the Yunchui army that rushed towards them. After losing a lot of food, grass and human lives, they fled westward in embarrassment.
At this time, there was a brief period of peace on the border between the two countries.
It is unlikely that the Xiliang Royal Court will send another large army to invade eastward until they have gathered enough food and supplies, unless they do not intend to go back alive.
Therefore, there is no need for the fortress to send too many scouts to squat here at this time.
Even if there are, there are only three or two kittens, just in case.
Of course, the most important thing is that there are not many qualified scouts in the entire fortress.
"There are only two of us, so we can't eat so many Xiliang scouts." Ren Ning was silent for a moment, "I'll keep an eye on this place. You should go back to the fortress to report the situation here."
As for how the fortress will deal with small tribes like Benlu when they come down, that is not what their scouts need to worry about.
Li Liang said goodbye without saying anything, and quickly disappeared into the vast darkness of the east.
The next day, the sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky. It was a good day for murder and arson.
Ren Ning rushed to the hill about two hundred miles east of the Benlu tribe as soon as possible and found a big stone to hide it.
Telescopes are a good thing, and prairie fires are even better.
He sat on a rock and raised his telescope to look around. He was surrounded by unobstructed open space.
As long as there are people or roads passing by, Ren Ning can easily spot them even if they are dozens of miles apart.
I sat there for a long time.
In the afternoon, two fast horses finally passed by ten miles away, circling from the west and then heading south.
Ren Ning calculated the opponent's horse speed and immediately became energetic.
This is not a horse that ordinary herders can own.
Those riding them must be Xiliang scouts, or at least important leaders of the Benlu tribe.
drive!
Ren Ning rode on Chai Feng and chased after him without hesitation.
It was said that he was chasing, but he did not get close. Instead, he stayed more than ten miles away, hanging far behind the two horses in front.
After running for an hour and a half, I finally dismounted and rested.
Ren Ning calculated the distance while feeding Zhui Feng.
This place is estimated to be due west or a little west-north of the Kailun tribe.
After resting for less than half an hour, the two people in front continued to set off, still heading south.
Ren Ning followed them and couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Further south, we reach the grassland that was not burned by the last fire.
There are many tall grasses and shrubs, so places like this are most popular among scouts. As long as you get in and camouflage yourself, you may not be able to spot them if you pass by.
Ren Ning is also a scout, and he also likes a place like this. He can disguise himself and kill people quietly, because he never relies on his eyes to find people.
The two people in front ran for another half an hour before finally stopping.
Chirp ~ Chirp ~
They took out a whistle and blew it loudly.
Ren Ning chased them to a place about two miles behind them. After confirming that the surrounding area was safe, he let Zhui Feng hide while he quietly walked over.
The whistle rang for a long time, but there was no movement around. The Benlu tribesmen in front were not in a hurry, and stood and ate carelessly.
However, Ren Ning had already discovered two red dots touching them one to the east and the other to the west.
The Xiliang scouts who emerged did not notice Ren Ning who was following behind. One of them walked up to the two Deer Runners and asked, "What do you want from us?"
The two people quickly talked about the situation in the tribe, and then anxiously waited for each other's reply.
The person who can be sent out to pick people up is naturally not an important person.
The scout at the joint couldn't answer the Deer Runner's question, so he had to talk to the other one and go back to seek the answer.
Ren Ning chuckled and shot away the unlucky guy who was eating in the bushes in the blink of an eye.
