A burst of footsteps broke the tranquility of the lake, and Abaoji's sister trotted over, muttering to Huyan Guanyin. Xu Fengnian, who had made up for the reckless words, learned that the ewe was about to give birth, and Huyan Guanyin should be a master at catching lambs. We arrived at the sheepfold together, watching quietly as she delivered the lamb in an orderly manner. After the work was done, she finally stroked a strand of black hair from her temples and smiled all over her face. Because of fleeing and migrating, most of the tribe's flocks are thin and underweight. It is not easy to survive the severe winter, and picking up lambs has become the top priority after setting up camp. The tiger-headed A Baoji couldn't bear it anymore, and chased around in the sheep pen. Finally, a hungry tiger pounced on the sheep, caught a lamb that was a little younger, grabbed the hind hoof, stood up, and after lifting the lamb, he danced wildly, domineering Seeing it, Xu Fengnian was a little dumbfounded. The little guy's sister reprimanded her with her hips on her hips. If she couldn't make sense, she went to have her ears twisted. After the little guy let go, her sister went to catch another lamb without paying attention, and was kicked countless times. Covered in mud and dung, it was not until Huyan Guanyin persuaded him softly that he finally let go of the poor lamb in the pen. A Baoji didn't want to take a bath, and even Huyan Guanyin couldn't persuade him. Xu Fengnian grabbed the naughty little bastard by the collar, and when he got to the lake, he threw it into the water with a whimper.
For the next two days, Xu Fengnian just watched the tedious work of this small tribe with a cold eye. No matter men, women, old or young, they all have a clear division of labor, and there is no room for laziness. Xu Fengnian did not step in to help with the unfinished business, but silently calculated how much land cost a herdsman or a string-controlling warrior would need. After talking with Huyan Guanyin, he learned that there were several cowards from the Northern Mang royal court in the previous generation of the tribe. Members of the army can be exempted from many miscellaneous taxes of the tribe. Otherwise, with the manpower and material resources of the tribe, it is necessary to hunt large wild animals or even loot other tribes to survive. It's just that these two things are too risky. The tribe is a disaster. Every day on the grassland, small tribes of this size decline or are annexed. They migrate here and occupy a lake by chance. They can only hope for the extrajudicial grace of the local Xiti and the weakness of the neighboring tribes. During this period, Xu Fengnian had a secret talk with the old patriarch. Afterwards, Huyan Guanyin finally put on a rough mask made in a hurry, which opened the eyes of the tribal herdsmen, and even more regarded Xu Fengnian as a strange figure who was reincarnated as a Bodhisattva. At noon on the third day, Xu Fengnian, who was sitting quietly by the lake, looked north and finally came. It's just that it's much bigger than the expected battle.
The owner of this grazing land, Sidi Quchaer, sits high on a tall horse. This middle-aged man, Xidi, is well-built and dressed in wolf fur. His hair around the ears and forehead is shaved, and two braids are braided and tied in the Behind the ear, on the shoulder rests a great falcon. Cha'er waved a big hand, and a hundred monsters behind him rushed out screaming and roaring, and galloped around the camp. A golden cheetah and a tiger captured from Liangliao were imprisoned. The two beasts, which had been curled up and snoozing, seemed to smell blood, and suddenly stood up in the cage, roaring loudly, flapping their sharp claws on the iron bars, and devouring them. . Thousands of miles away, the patriarch Huyan Anbao, who has long been in the news, led the tribe members, gathered together tremblingly, without weapons, and did not dare to make a gesture of resistance. Cross-border migration would be a mistake. If there is no valuable treasure in the clan, Hu Yanan Bao had already gone to personally "offer incense" to Xin Xiti, who would hold the life and death power of the whole clan in the future. Xu Fengnian and Huyan Guanyin did not walk out of the tent, and there was an aggrieved Abaoji hiding beside him, looking through the gap at the arrogant Xiti's personal guards, but in the end their eyes stayed on the pair of master and servant beside Xiti On the guy was a young man in fox fur and wolf hat, with a sword on his waist. Unlike the knight, he sat cross-legged on the horseback and looked at him with his chin in his hands, with an indifferent expression. The brocade robed old man was introverted, although Xu Fengnian immediately restrained his prying eyes, but maybe Huyan Guanyin showed some clues, and the old man noticed something strange, so he looked straight at him with cold and stern eyes.
The cavalry narrowed the encirclement, completely preventing Huyan Anbao from getting close to Xi Tituo.
The same is true for the large-scale hunting in Beimang royal court that the empress visits every autumn, but it is even more spectacular. Just to drive out the prey from the outside, it takes tens of thousands of soldiers and it takes two months. Xue Jun is in charge of supervising the army, and the formation strictly follows the established route. If there is any deviation, they will be dragged to be beaten with sticks. First class. When the hunting circle was finally narrowed to only two or three pars between the soldiers, the ropes were connected and covered with felt. At this time, there were countless beasts gathering in the circle. It is a massacre feast that enters in descending order of honor and title.
Cha'er shook his shoulders lightly, the big falcon fluttered its wings and flew into the sky, and then Xidi clapped his hands cruelly with a smile. Pull out the howling tiger and leopard from the cage, let go of the reins, and the wild and unruly tiger and leopard rush out side by side, and skillfully pounce on the herdsmen in the circle. When tigers and leopards are running, their slender, dynamic and strong bodies are especially prominent, which means that after contact, they will be bitten extremely bloody, and the distance of a hundred steps can be reached in an instant.
The two middle-aged herdsmen guarding the patriarch had participated in many wild animal hunts. Although they did not have spears and arrows in their hands, they still did their part to stand out of the queue. The smile on the corner of Cha'er's mouth is full of disdain, a life-or-death pariah, the tigers and leopards he carefully reared are not ordinary prey, the wildness is much stronger than the initial capture, they are only imprisoned in cages when they go hunting, and the rest The time is to graze cattle and sheep in the pen, when to kill all the livestock, and when to change the pen to raise them, to punish the shepherds who violated the rules in the tribe, and put them into the pen. After several rounds of culling and biting, only one person survived for many years, and his arm was bitten off afterwards.
Almost at the same time, the two herdsmen were thrown down by the vigorous and flexible tiger and leopard, their necks were bitten off, their five claws were gently slid, their intestines were dissected, and their stomachs were dissected. , the tigers and leopards raised their heads at the same time, looking at the trembling shepherds in the circle.
A Baoji in the tent saw this tragic scene, his face was full of tears, and he was about to rush out to fight for his life, but Xu Fengnian held his head, threw it back, and fell back into the room, while he lifted up the cotton hanging blanket that was used as a door curtain, go away. Xu Fengnian did not expect this Xiti to be such a murderer. Generally speaking, although herdsmen who cross the border can be killed by Manchus, they must know that human life is worthless in the grasslands and deserts. The number of young and strong people in the Xianma War is two different things. The remarriage of women on the prairie is so loose that it exceeds the etiquette, righteousness and shame of people in the Central Plains. In addition, every time there is a war in Beimang, they will spare no effort to plunder the people on the border of the Liyang Dynasty and settle in the north. The competition between big and small Xiti is based on the most intuitive number of horses and heads. Generally speaking, a family raises the flag to rebel against the headquarters of Xiti and chooses to migrate desperately. They are enemies with their predecessor, Xi Ti, and most of them are willing to recruit and accept them. The tribe that Huyan Guanyin belongs to wanders thousands of miles. Originally, Xiti was doomed to be out of reach. Any Xiti who is not short of water and grass is a fortune. It is nothing more than spending some money to deal with the superior government in charge of nomadic household registration, which is equivalent to thirty more With multiple tax sources, Xu Fengnian really didn't expect that Xiti, who came over after hearing the news, would make a bloody show of power as soon as he met the herdsmen.
The handsome young man with the sword on his waist raised his brows.
The old man in brocade robe was about to speak, but the young man shook his chin, indicating that he should ignore it.
Xu Fengnian tiptoed, leaped over the head of the cavalry, landed right in front of the old patriarch, the tiger opened its jaws wide open, Xu Fengnian ignored the tiger's claws which were blocked by the mirage of the big yellow court, and grabbed the upper and lower jaws with both hands, With a light tear, the king of the forest's eye-catching worm was torn in half and thrown in front of him.
Cracking tigers and leopards, but that's all.
Only one leopard left suddenly stopped, obviously feeling a great sense of crisis, and did not dare to rush forward easily. Captured Cha'er furious, snorted coldly, the beast trainer started shouting, commanding the cheetah to kill. Finally, the greasy cheetah couldn't hold back its restlessness, and charged in a straight line, folded at a distance of ten steps, leaped five steps to one side, and then swiftly pounced on the right side of the prey. Xu Fengnian used the canyon to understand the situation of breaking the river, without a shot, let alone a knife, the body of the prey was cut off in the middle of the air, this time it was the turn to capture Cha'er and the hundreds of cavalrymen who were dumbfounded. The fox fur young man's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth twitched. It was really a surprise. Xiti led his troops to strangle this tribe of hundreds of people. There is a powerful Xiti who can not sell the face of the children of the Yelv Murong clan, but no one will dare to disobey his orders. In the desert, his father's words are almost equivalent to the imperial edict of the empress. If it is in the Beimang army, It is even more superior, the key is that the empress has never felt that she has made great achievements because of this, she has absolutely no doubts about this military god who came out of the party department, and her trust is immeasurable. So in the royal court in the north, even if you are a relative of the emperor or a prince or grandson, if you meet the two sons of the military god, you have to bow your head.
This young man known as Little Tuoba killed 600 people with his own hands. How could a Xidi go to the empress's side to talk too much? On the contrary, there is no lack of You Xiti who personally leads the horse and sends him out of the country respectfully.
Little Tuoba still supported his cheeks, tilted his head and smiled and said: "Which state are you from the Spring and Autumn Period of the Southern Dynasty, you might as well be my fake son, you will have more glory and wealth than you can enjoy in this life."
The rich and powerful in Beimang like to accept fake sons, which is similar to the adopted sons of the Liyang Dynasty, but their status is often only slightly higher than that of slaves. Of course, the powerful fake sons can also bully men and women, especially those kings of Beimang. The court can buckle the jade belt of Xianbei's head, a rich family with a family name of Jia, the dummy is powerful and has countless privileges.
The young man was kind and powerful, smiled, and said lightly: "I know that you untouchables of the Spring and Autumn Period have some useless backbones. If you refuse to agree, after killing all these herdsmen, you will be stabbed, buried in the yellow sand, and peeled off your head." , watering the quicksilver."
Xu Fengnian didn't talk nonsense with this friend, but just said calmly: "Speak well."
The young man in fox fur and wolf hat who sat cross-legged on horseback froze for a moment, then laughed out loud, raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the laughter, stared at the man with the sword in the hunting circle, but asked the brocade robed demon beside him , "When will Hui Hui arrive?"
The old man's eyes were shining, and he said with a smile: "A moment later. It's a rare delicacy delivered to the door, and the little master will not do it himself this time?"
The young man curled his lips and said, "I'm in a good mood today. I'm still considering whether to accept him as a fake, or to skin him and expose him to the sun."
The old man stepped out with his horse's belly, and asked: "Then the old slave will play with him for a while?"
Little Tuoba, who didn't think that there were a few people in Beimang worthy of his fear, nodded slightly.
Xu Fengnian's Huang Ting poured down like a torrent in an instant, and his figure swept away like a long rainbow. He pressed the wolf hat youth's forehead with one hand, pushed him off the horse, and slid on the ground for a distance of five or six feet.
