Although Toishi City is far away, the news of Xiliang's defeat and the annihilation of Xueyue's army has spread unstoppably among such a large tribe.
The grasslands in late autumn are usually sunny and sunny, but at this time, everything is gloomy and gloomy.
The clan leader, Xueyue Zhiyong, and the elders of each clan had to stand up and divided into several groups to patrol the tents to express condolences.
Outside a dilapidated tent in front, an old woman was sitting and basking in the sun.
Two eyes stared blankly at the eastern sky.
cough.
Xueyue Zhiyong walked over kindly and said, "Old Amu, you are sitting in the sun. How are you?"
The old woman heard the sound and looked over for a long time, "I won't die just yet."
She looked up and down hesitantly at the imposing middle-aged man in front of her, "Master, I don't know who you are..."
The more he looked at the old woman, the more she trembled, and two lines of tears could not help but flow out.
Such a person must be a noble of the tribe.
The front line was defeated and the entire Blood Moon army was wiped out. Could this man have come to announce her funeral?
Woohoo...
The old woman couldn't help crying.
cough.
The guard next to him hurriedly came up and introduced, "This Eminem, this is the leader of our Blood Moon Clan. The leader is here to see you."
"Patriarch?" The old woman was taken aback and quickly became nervous and nervous. She quickly struggled to stand up and bowed.
Xueyue Zhiyong accepted it silently.
He looked around and said, "Old Amu, the weather is going to get cold soon. Are your winter clothes and the grass for the cattle and sheep ready?"
When the old woman saw that it was not a funeral, she immediately let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your concern, chief. There are no people in the old woman's house these past few years. She only needs two or three sheepskin clothes to survive the winter."
"Although it is not as comfortable as the cotton-padded clothes bought by caravans in previous years, and it smells a bit. But the old woman is already very satisfied."
As for pasture for the winter, she didn't answer.
However, Xueyue Zhiyong and the guards around him could hear it clearly.
This old woman's other family members are not here, so what cattle and sheep do she have?
Went into the tent and walked around.
The house is surrounded by walls. The only valuables are probably some bacon, a bow and a few bags of dried cow dung.
Xueyue Zhiyong watched silently.
After coming out, he comforted him a few words and asked his guards to bring some food and supplies before continuing to move forward.
The old woman behind silently watched him walk away, opening her stifled mouth, but no words came out.
Xueyue Zhiyong didn't look back, but he could still feel the needle-like gaze from behind.
"Check her family."
The guards were well prepared and quickly took out the list and checked it.
"Hui Patriarch, she and her daughter-in-law are the only ones in this family now. Her man, son and two grandsons are all on the Eastern Front battlefield..."
Xueyue Zhiyong listened, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he even waved to the tribesmen passing by from time to time.
He didn't stop smiling until he reached a place with few people.
"Have you not heard from Yingxiang yet?"
The guards looked at each other, none of them said a word, and finally lowered their heads in silence.
well.
Xue Yue Zhiyong's face no longer had the warm smile before.
He let out a long sigh.
Since returning to the tribe from the front line, Blood Moon's eagles have been delivering letters back and forth between the settlement and Stone City.
Therefore, all parties in Yunchui counterattacked, and Xueyue Zhiyong learned about the battle situation in the east on the third day.
Yun Chui was approaching menacingly, and he was determined to send troops to support him.
However, the distance between the two places is too far, and the distant water cannot save the nearby fire.
In the end, Xue Yue Zhiyong could only order the 20,000 Xue Yue soldiers stationed in the Benlu tribe to rush to Peishi City for support.
Unfortunately, the distance between Blood Moon Settlement and Running Deer is also very far. No matter how fast the eagle flies, it still takes a full day.
By the time Xueyue Zhiyong's order reached the Benlu tribe, the battle outside Peishi City had already reached its fourth day.
At this time, even if the Blood Moon people in Running Deer can rush to Peishi City as desperately as Huo Li, I am afraid it will be too late.
So the so-called support was that more than 20,000 people ran eastward for less than 200 miles. Finally, they learned that the front line had been defeated, so they stopped silently.
Finally, it was discovered that the 50,000 people who had escaped from the battlefield in Angel were heading towards their location.
Twenty thousand versus fifty thousand.
Instead of advancing, this group of people retreated decisively back to the Benlu tribe.
In the end, despite being worried and frightened, he embarked on his way home like other small and medium-sized tribes.
"Patriarch," in the silence, someone who could speak stood up.
"Don't worry too much. As the saying goes, no news is good news. Since the whereabouts of the Young Patriarch were not mentioned in the battle report of Yancheng Fortress, the Young Patriarch should have returned to the grassland."
"It's just that the grassland is vast and I don't know where it is at the moment."
"That's right." Others reacted and nodded in agreement.
"Patriarch, the young patriarch has been very smart since he was a child and has been blessed by the wolf god. He can always adapt to situations and finally turn disaster into good luck. I don't think that the more than 200,000 people who hang down in the clouds can do nothing to the young patriarch, let alone the vast grassland."
The man summed it up with a smile, "I feel that the young patriarch will return to the tribe safe and sound soon."
“What Lao Liang said is absolutely true!”
At this time, the other guards also opened their mouths one after another, speaking out their condolences.
"The patriarch, the young patriarch is wise and powerful, and the ordinary threats from the grassland can't do anything to him. The real threat is Angel's bastards who eat and sell abroad for glory."
"In order to clear themselves of the crime of escaping from the battlefield, they are very likely to be disadvantageous to the young clan leader. The young clan leader is weak and can only avoid the traditional east-west grain road and go back to ensure safety. Therefore, the talents we sent out are not available.
We can find him as soon as possible."
"If the young patriarch still brings his mount, he should be able to return to our territory in the next few days based on his strength."
Xue Yue Zhiyong looked deeply towards the east, and after a while he said, "I hope so."
cough!
After saying Blood Moon Eagle Soaring, another guard gritted his teeth.
"Chief, how should we deal with those bastards Angel?"
"Angel?" Xue Yue Zhiyong turned back and looked to the west.
Hum hum.
There was a cold smile on his lips, "Just go back and make preparations first."
brush!
The guards responded in unison without hesitation, "Yes!"
They weren't surprised either.
Both Blood Moon and Angel are one of the largest tribes on the grassland.
Once the two sides go to war with each other, the impact will be extremely far-reaching.
Not to mention the expedition to the east, I am afraid that even the grassland itself will be in turmoil.
Therefore, although Xue Yue Zhiyong was full of anger and believed from the bottom of his heart that Angel was causing trouble, he had to act cautiously without concrete evidence.
Although the news that Ying Hu sent back from the front was timely, it was only a few words.
They were deep in the grassland and could only guess what happened outside of Peishi City based on the few lines above. In fact, it was not accurate.
Just wait a few more days.
Xueyue Zhiyong raised his head and looked coldly at the half-finished city wall in front of him.
It would be better if Xueyue Yingxiang could come back and tell the specific battle situation personally.
If Blood Moon Yingxiang fails to come back or is secretly kidnapped or even killed by Angel, don't blame him for taking the initiative.
