The territory of the Mengluo Department is close to Hu Tonglin. From a distance, they seem to live in an inextinguishable bonfire in the desert, and Hu Tong is their symbol. The tributaries of the Chashi River are here, they occupy the only water source of the Mosan River, and further east is the desert hinterland ruled by the sweltering heat.
Bayar is here to entertain Xiao Chiye. He has a gray goatee and is bloated. He poured wine for Xiao Chiye himself, and said, "I heard the legend of the wolf, your iron cavalry is as cold as Yan Shuang, and you can stomp on the ground in Chashi Tiankeng, crushing A Chi's elite scorpion."
The open-air banquet is covered with moonlight, and the night in the desert is not black, but a rich dark blue. Xiao Chiye is sitting here, different from the agility of Biansha's man, he has Shukuang and Geda from Libei, and he becomes more and more conspicuous after taking off his armor.
"I have received praise from the Mengluo Department," Xiao Chiye said. "I would rather reach an alliance with the Mengluo Department, just like the Huiyan Department, and become brothers who can rely on each other."
"Since that's the case, why don't we get married?" Bayar looked at Xiao Chiye and said with emotion, "The good son born in Hongyan Mountain, I know that you are all hard-core people from the North, I really appreciate you, I My daughter also really wants to marry you. If you are worried that your wife will not agree, then I am willing to send 500 camels to this eldest lady."
The women of the twelve tribes control the tribal baggage. In Bayar's view, if Xiao Chiye's "wife" is a sensible person, he should agree to the marriage and save his husband's troubles.
Shen Zechuan, who was far away in Dan City, sneezed softly. Ji Gang held the medicine outside and shouted, "Chuan'er, take the medicine on time. This day will change if you don't pay attention. If you don't pay attention, you will cough."
Xiao Chiye was holding the wine that Bayar had brought to him. He had a huge amount of wine. At this time, he seemed to be drunk, not as serious as when he came back to talk to Bayar.
This made Bayar feel that there was an opportunity. He raised his arm and motioned Xiao Chiye to look to the right. His little daughter was sitting there with her head bowed shyly, covered with a thin veil. Bayar is confident that there is no such girl in Dazhou. He said: "My Wuya is very well-behaved. She can take care of the big lady like a sister."
Lu Guangbai cut the beef with a dagger, glanced at Xiao Chiye when he heard the words, and said, "We have no brothers in the house—the eldest lady's family. If there is a sister, I think it would be fine."
Xiao Chiye looked along Bayar's arm, the girl lowered her head lower.
Bayar said, "Wuya, come here to toast the alpha wolf at the bar."
Wu Ya stood up, with cumbersome decorations on her waist, which "jingled" while walking. However, Xiao Chiye ran away. He thought that when he was still in Dunzhou, he once "teached" Lanzhou a lesson. He also had a silver bell on Lanzhou's ankle. of breathing.
Wu Ya had already arrived in front of Xiao Chiye, she was carrying a strange fragrance and showed her white neck when she leaned over.
Lan Zhou's neck looks best in the rain, water, or sweat. It has a beautiful arc, and it rises and sags with the body being captured... Xiao Chiye misses Shen Zechuan very much, and this moment is especially obvious.
Wu Ya filled the wine and leaned towards Xiao Chiye. She raised her long eyelashes and looked at Xiao Chiye with disgust. The gold chain around the waist rattled, and the girl pulled out the dagger from her slender palm, and took Xiao Chiye's throat with the gesture of toasting.
He turned into an armpit, Chen Yang didn't respond yet, Gu Jin could hear badly, he stepped out one step and said, "Second Master!"
The golden bottle slammed on the table, and the wine splashed. Xiao Chiye didn't even touch Wu Ya, leaning on his arm to hold the dagger, the next moment the low table overturned, and Wu Ya rolled out after him. Her dagger was already out of hand and landed in Xiao Chiye's palm. Before Bayar regained his senses, Xiao Chiye stood up and nailed the dagger to Bayar's table.
Bayar almost got his finger pricked, and was shocked and slumped on the ground.
Xiao Chiye wiped the drink on his arm, his eyes were sober, and he said coldly, "I'm here to make friends with all my heart, but Meng Luo's department is a rat with a sweet belly."
The generals in the banquet suddenly rose up, and the iron cavalry on the inner and outer three floors suddenly flashed their knives with a "swoosh", and the red Hutong forest was full of snow. The atmosphere changed suddenly, and the sword was drawn.
"No!" Bayar didn't expect Wuya to stab rashly, he said quickly, "This is definitely not my intention, please don't get angry!" He got up, stomped at Wuya, and said with hatred, " I raised you for more than ten years, yet you made such a big mistake!"
Wuya's veil fell off, she propped herself up, spat at Bayar, and said, "You betrayed Russia, Russia and Japan, and gave me to Hazen's enemies, you are not worthy of being my father—"
Bayar was furious, and before Wuya could finish speaking, he stepped forward and slapped Wuya to the ground, and said with Biansha, "Hold her down!" After that, he turned around and begged Xiao Chiye, "She Bewitched by Amur, I have already lost my mind, and it is not my daughter, I am willing to kill her for the alpha wolf, and I also ask the alpha wolf not to anger the Luo Ministry for this!"
Xiao Chiye remained unmoved.
The Libei Iron Cavalry surrounded the Mengluo Department, and the elites of Bayar were all on the periphery, and they really fought hard, and this person could not stop the fully armed Iron Cavalry from charging. Bayar has long since had no position to negotiate conditions. He could only draw out the knives of the left and right guards and hold them up to Wu Yagao.
The Cang Yue hangs high, and the Saker Falcon in Mo Sanchuan is circling alone. Hu Tong's abrupt branches and leaves slanted into the moon, and the wind blew the Libei wolf flag. Bayar held up the knife, but he couldn't let go. His goatee trembled for a moment, and in Wu Ya's sob, he still dropped the knife, turned and knelt down in front of Xiao Chiye.
Xiao Chiye tied his arms tightly, and Chen Yang behind him came to put on a cloak for him. He lowered his eyes and looked at Bayar, holding the wolf sword on his waist.
"I only have this daughter left," Bayar said with tears, "I want to betroth her to the powerful Libei Wolf King because our Mengluo tribe has been plundered by other tribes here all year round, and Amur is old. Who can keep us safe..."
"Take back your five hundred camels," Xiao Chiye turned and left, "Keep it for the Mengluo Department's own mutual market use."
Xiao Chiye took a few steps and looked at Wu Ya again. The night wind blew Xiao Chiye's braid on his shoulder, he raised his hand and pulled out the dagger, and threw it in front of Wu Ya.
"Tonight, the lives of the entire Mengluo clan were given to me by you."
Wu Ya's face was pale, and the fragrance on her body had dissipated. She covered her face and cried.
Bayar shouted loudly: "Mengluo is willing to follow the wolf king to conquer the desert..."
Xiao Chiye whistled and landed on his shoulder. He looked forward, the entrance of Mo Sanchuan was already open, and the narrow path paved with moonlight led to his destination. Behind him, the Libei Wolf Banner replaced Da Mo's Rainbow Eagle Banner.

"How did you guess that Wu Ya was going to assassinate?" Lu Guangbai asked as he left with Xiao Chiye.
"You said that Bayar wanted to marry her to Hassan," Xiao Chiye got on his horse and paused for a moment when he reined in, "I guess that was Wuya's own intention. Bayar wants to marry her to me, nothing more than It is she who has despised the boys in this desert."
"I still suspect that you're drunk," Lu Guangbai followed and got on his horse. "My brother's heart is hanging, I'm afraid you will be confused for a while. When you say I go back, will I be outspoken in the face of the mansion, or will I pretend not to know? ."
"You won't be confused if you are confused," who else in the world can compare with Shen Lanzhou? Xiao Chiye turned his horse's head, and the wind dissipated the heat, and the wine was suppressed. He looked at Lu Guangbai and said seriously, "Wine and incense are useless, I'm sober."
Seeing that he was serious and thorough, Lu Guangbai believed it to be true, but how could he know that Xiao Chiye's mind was full of Shen Lanzhou just now.
Xiao Chiye changed the subject and said, "Now the Mengluo clan is staying here, and the Hulu clan is the only one left to supply Amur's food to the east of Mosanchuan. Duoerlan brought back the remaining soldiers of the bear clan for Amur. It shows that Amur's elite is running out."
Hu Helu, Achi, Zhuo Li, and Hasen, Amur's vanguard, raider, guards, and generals were all killed, and the six troops in his hand became uneasy after Xiao Chiye moved eastward. Now Mengluo's department is willing to form an alliance to save his life, and Amur's golden tent is in the hinterland of Mo.
Xiao Chiye wants to decide the outcome of the battle.
After Ha Sen's death, Bian Sha retreated. According to Da Zhou's practice, he would not chase out the Chashihe line of defense. But for Xiao Chiye, others may be able to stay, but Amur cannot.
As a man who almost became a monarch in the desert, Amur is a hero who can decide the outcome with Xiao Fangxu. What makes him more dangerous than Hassan is that he also possesses political means. He didn't just want to win the battle, that was what he gave others to do. He spent twenty years painstakingly creating a dynasty collapse. Just give him a chance to breathe and let him live, and he has new plans that will only become more sophisticated and harder to discover.
This man must die, otherwise Xiao Chiye will not be able to sleep.

Amur sat on the throne, his golden tent was not closed, and the moon shone under his feet through the gap. He sat here alone, looking at the rolling sand dunes under the moon.
"Many years ago," Amur said in a deep voice, "I led my troops to go deep, and met Xiao Fangxu at the foot of Hongyan Mountain. At that time, he was a soldier without a name. I regarded him as a lifelong opponent, and I defeated him a lot. times, and lost to him many times.”
The old wise man who prayed for Hassan sat in the corner of the golden tent, dropped the dead branches in his hands on the blanket in front of his knees, and said slowly in a trembling voice: "You defeated him."
Amur closed his eyes in the afterglow of the moonlight. His face didn't even look old, as majestic as if he had just sat in this position. "It was my son who killed him," he said.
"His son killed your son," the wise man breathed hard, leaned on the blanket, took a moment to relax, and pushed away the dead branches, "but you still have grandchildren, and Doeran can give birth to a healthy and strong child for Hazen. We have not lost this battle."
Amur held the handle of the throne as if he was a beast trapped here. He rolled his eyes, finally opened his eyes, looked at the unchanging sand dunes, and said: "When I sent troops to Luoxia Pass, you told me the same. We walked out of the desert and looked for a land where we could survive, but these years, the battle It didn't stop, more and more people died. Dazhou is like a rotten tree, but the gods' favor has not favored us. Libei lost Xiao Fangxu, and soon got a new wolf king. I heard him Beating the drums and walking towards my golden tent, he is far younger and stronger than Xiao Fangxu."
"You are the last light that God has given to the desert," the wise man said firmly, picking up the dead branches, "I will watch you leave this wolf behind."
Amur left the throne, stood up, followed the trail of the moon, and said, "It's time for the scorpion to move."

The coat and hat officer ties Fengquan's coat and hat properly, removes the paper flowers from the bamboo, and Fengquan wipes his hands with the paper flowers and listens to the other person's words.
The cloaked officials were neat, half-hidden in the darkness, and said, "Zhongbo must be defeated in front of the gate of Yedu. Only by killing Shen Zechuan, the dynasty can continue to breathe, and the sun in the far east can rise as usual."
"Shen Zechuan has been in danger many times in Dun and Duanzhou," Fengquan said quietly, seeing that the officials in the coat and hat were tying "a handful of lotus", "You have countless opportunities to kill him, but you haven't done it."
"He's far more powerful than he thought," the man in the cap was cleaning up the scorpion for Fengquan. He knelt on the ground, but raised his eyes, stared at Fengquan and said, "You already knew that."
Fengquan leaned over and said word by word, "It's you who are useless."
The candles lit faintly, and the duty room was silent for a moment.
"As early as two years ago, I said not to act without authorization, but you still introduced the epidemic to Yedu, giving Shen Zechuan a chance to be promoted." Fengquan's voice was gloomy, "Amur thinks he knows the whole situation, but in fact he knows everything. can not see."
The man in the coat and hat suddenly stood up. He raised his hand and patted Feng Quan's leg, holding a slender ear spoon in his palm. That sharp, abrupt thing touched Feng Quan's leg, indicating that it could also kill in one blow when necessary.
"Calm down," said the official with brown pupils, "the epidemic also gave Mu Ru a chance... Xue Xiuzhuo trusted you so much, and that's when you showed your loyalty. You are now at the center. , the emperor of Da Zhou is right at your fingertips, after this battle, you will be free."
Fengquan looked at the man in the hat with too indifferent eyes, not believing a word of the lie of the man in the hat. From the day he left Yedu, he was put in a box, and he was doomed to never escape.
"Your stupid father is dead. You could have stopped him, but you didn't." The cloakman put away his ear scoops. "I didn't tell anyone about this... you understand?"
Fengquan's pale face was a little morbid in the lamp shadow, he said: "He is not a scorpion, no one can control him. He has already gone mad and willingly died for others, I just sent him off."
"You let him take the fire gun."
"Since he wants to die," Fengquan's eyelids jumped, his expression remained unchanged, and he pushed aside the hand of the official man and said, "It's not good for him to have those fakes."
"You're right, Shao Chengbi is a lunatic. He guards Zhaosin Temple day and night. He burns incense and worships Buddha at home to beg for forgiveness. His wish is fulfilled by letting him die. You are a good son." Get up and say, "It's time for you to take your medicine."
