The Jipal Prairie is covered with ice and snow, and under the sunlight, the snow is covered with a dazzling white light.
The large group of men and horses all wore "eye masks" made of animal skins, with a slit cut open by a sharp weapon at the position of the eyes so that they could see ahead.
Jilianbino took two "eye masks" to Jasmine and gave some instructions. Since the reflection of snow can sting the eyes and even cause temporary blindness, which is commonly known as "snow blindness", you should not expose your eyes directly to the snow.
In the ground.
The snow was thick, and the group's march slowed down. Everything was dead silent, without a breath of life, and there was no telling where the peeping eyes of hungry wolves were hidden.
Yan Wei'er was sitting in the carriage. In addition to being covered with a brocade quilt, she was also asked to put on a cloak and be prepared to leave the carriage and escape at any time.
Yan Wei'er gave Jasmine another cloak and ordered her to put it on. Jasmine declined the offer, but finally couldn't resist the lady's kindness, so she also put it on.
"Jasmine, you are actually very good-looking." Yan Wei'er saw her wearing a blue cloak, which made her lips red and white, giving her a beautiful look like Xiaojiabiyu.
"The young lady is so good-looking." Jasmine praised sincerely: "What kind of dance did the young lady dance that night? It was so beautiful that our young master stood up just looking at it."
"Oh?" Yan Weier asked in a nonchalant manner: "Then did you see anyone dancing at Ji Lian's house?"
"No." Jasmine suddenly said: "Ah, there is one. Although I haven't seen her dance with my own eyes, I know that she is a very famous maiko, her name is Xian Xuezhi. I just arrived at the house that year, and it happened to be
When the Lord celebrated his birthday, I invited her to congratulate him. At that time, I was not qualified enough to serve. I just heard from some sisters that they all praised her dancing skills as the best in the world. But let me tell you, that’s not true.
When you meet our lady..." At the end of the sentence, I felt that it was extremely disrespectful to compare a maiko with a lady.
"Then she is on good terms with your young master?" Yan Wei'er didn't take it seriously, but couldn't help but ask her doubts.
"This...how could our young master...like her..." Jasmine hesitated. She heard from the older maids that even if Xian Xuezhi could not become the mistress of the house in the future, depending on the young master's attitude toward her, she should.
It's my concubine's room.
He indeed has an ambiguous relationship with Xian Xuezhi.
This realization made Yan Wei'er's heart sting as if being pricked by a needle. She had already guessed this was the result, but when someone said it, it was a different feeling.
Her enthusiasm was waning and she just wanted to escape as soon as possible and never have anything to do with that bastard young master again.
While they were traveling, suddenly the sharp and harsh sound of a loud arrow came from behind. Hua Yi raised his hand and the carriage stopped. The two horsemen were immediately ordered to go behind where the loud arrow came from to meet the explorer.
The rest of the people quickly unsheathed their swords, their movements were uniform and beautiful, and adjusted their formation to surround the carriage more closely.
Quilenbino remained calm and composed, sitting high on the horse and looking back.
After a moment, three knights came running up, one of them was one of the "Eighteen Knights" who were the first to explore the road. He dismounted, knelt down on one knee and said: "Report to the young master, a pack of wolves is coming from behind. There are about three or four of them."
About a hundred, it will be there in a moment!”
Jilenbino decisively ordered: "Abandon the cart and unload the horse!" Then he turned to Hua Yi and said: "Moli get on your horse and protect her."
Yan Wei'er also noticed that the carriage had stopped. Something must have happened outside. As soon as she put on her blindfold and prepared to probe, she was held in Jilianbino's arms and quickly placed on the horse.
She exclaimed: "Jasmine!" She turned around and saw that Jasmine had also mounted the horse and was huddled in Hua Yi's arms. Knowing that it was Ji Lianbino's deliberate arrangement, she immediately smiled at him to show her appreciation.
At the same time, the guards had unloaded the horses and locked the doors. Those carriages, including the carriage Yan Weier was riding in, were specially made to prevent wolves and theft. The walls of the carriages were all inlaid with iron plates.
As long as the door is locked, it will not be easily broken open.
Jilenbino took the lead and ran towards the northwest. Yan Weier, a young man in his arms, shouted angrily: "Ah, my carriage, oh, my carriage, there are chestnuts in it..."
Jilenbino smiled and said: "If we can't outrun your carriage, we'll hide and seek with the wolves first, and then we'll go back and drag your carriage."
"What? Are the wolves coming? Where are they?" Yan Weier was not afraid, she was very excited.
"The wolf is a very smart animal. Before it wants to eat you, it will first know your location clearly, and then form an encirclement and cast a dragnet so that you have no way to escape." Ji Lianbino
Patiently explain that the horses cannot run fast because of the thick snow.
"Oh, are wolves so smart? It seems that whether you are chasing or escaping, you have to use your brain, not force it. No wonder I failed before." Yan Wei'er was still summarizing the experience of escaping while walking.
, these words made Young Master Ji Lian furious to death.
The cold wind was so bitter that it hurt people's faces. Thick dark clouds were pressing down on the grassland, and the horses' hooves stepped on the snow more than a foot deep, and they were moving slower and slower.
Prairie wolves are good at fighting at night, but they came out in full force during the day, which showed that they were extremely hungry. A long wolf howl resounded through the snowfield, as if sending a signal to the surrounding wolves.
Ji Lianxuanwu suddenly raised his inner breath and uttered a sound: "Oh...ho..." The sound was deep and deep, and it spread far and wide. This sound seemed to be a casual roar, but it consumed a lot of internal energy.
The howl of the wolf was suppressed.
After a while, the roar of the alpha wolf came again, more earth-shattering than the previous one. As soon as the alpha wolf roared, the group of wolves followed suit, rising and falling, and continued for a long time.
Ji Lianxuanwu smiled and said: "Judging from the howls of wolves, as reported before, there are about three to four hundred wolves in the rear, but the total of the other three parties will not exceed a hundred. It is not something to be afraid of."
Ji Lianbienuo said: "I didn't expect Xuanwu's inner breath to be so deep. Let me give it a try, brother." He followed Xuanwu's example and let out a long roar, and the sound trembled and spread in the cold air.
In an instant, Hua Yi led the "Eighteen Knights" and the guards also shook the sound away. The war horses seemed to have smelled the smell of blood, and they hissed in unison. For a time, the sound was rolling, and the sound was surging.
Wave after wave pressed on the wolves.
With the sound of the battle, the originally peaceful grassland was instantly mixed with howls of humans, horses, and wolves, which was extremely strange. The sounds of humans and horses became longer and longer, clearer and louder, until the howls of wolves were suppressed.
In one round, the momentum of the wolves was wiped out, and the morale of the group was greatly boosted.
Quilenbino suddenly reined in the horse, and the entire cavalry immediately stopped their horses: "Shoot the wolves right here!"
As soon as this order came out, the "Eighteen Knights" except Huayi quickly changed from column to horizontal formation, and all aimed their bows and arrows at the rear. The other twelve guards also immediately understood, adjusted their formation, set up their bows and arrows, and just waited
