In an instant, the wolves in the mountain forest responded, and the howling sound was eerie.
"Come on!" You Miao said.
The guards got out of the tent one after another, and Batu also came out. It was obvious that he had not woken up. The Tartar guards shouted, obviously aware of the danger. Although the Tartars did not walk outside the fortress all day long like the Quanjun people, they were still very long. The weathered grassland nomads have their own way of dealing with wolves.
Batu said to Youmiao, "Fang Shenger, come here, come to the tent."
You Miao felt very dangerous. If the other party wanted to make a move, he must not take the two hundred guards in his eyes. He knew that someone was coming to assassinate him, so he must not take the enemy lightly.
"Batu Mo." You Miao said, "Come to the fire."
"Don't worry." Batu said seriously: "My guards are well-trained, and a few wolves are enough to deal with."
"I just want to talk to you." You Miao said, "Since you are all awake, drink some wine and warm up."
When Batu heard this, he came over happily and sat down with You Miao in front of the fire. Li Zhifeng walked behind the two and looked around.
"My housekeeper is very loyal." You Miao said to Batu: "He is also very skilled. With him protecting us, no matter what happens, just trust him."
Batu said with a smile: "I can see it."
There are more and more wolves, and there are green spots in the mountains. Looking at the posture, I am afraid that there are thousands of wolves.
"This place is not suitable for hunting." You Miao said to Batu, "There are so many wolves, deer and spores, I'm afraid they will all be caught."
Batu was thoughtful, nodded and said, "Let's go to another place tomorrow."
You Miao said: "It's been two days since I came out this time. I think Your Majesty should go back first..."
Batu said displeased: "Hey, I finally came out once, why did you let me go back? I thought you knew my temper..."
You Miao said seriously: "No, Your Majesty, don't you think that the wolf here is a bit strange?"
When You Miao said these words, his plan finally really started. Now, he must bet all the key turning points of this trip on Batu.
Sure enough, Batu narrowed his eyes alertly and replied, "Tonight I heard the wolves no longer bark. I thought something happened... You said that..."
Batu stood up abruptly and said a few Tatar words aloud, and the guards moved, began to dismantle the tents, piled them into the center of the open space, and narrowed the defense circle.
"Till dawn." Batu said to You Miao, "We will withdraw from the valley immediately at dawn."
You Miao was relieved slightly and nodded. Through this period of contact, he gradually discovered that Batu was not as incompetent as he thought. As a candidate for the emperor, I must have learned a lot from childhood.
This is a sign to burn everything down and use the fire to stop the wolves. Batu pondered for a moment, then looked at You Miao strangely, You Miao suddenly moved and looked up at Batu.
"You're not like a businessman." Batu whispered: "What is your identity? Don't lie to me."
Li Zhifeng glanced at You Miao, You Miao exchanged glances with him, thought about it again and again, and finally bowed and saluted: "His Majesty Khan, it's my fault for lying to you, I deserve to die..."
At this moment, the wolves suddenly moved!
The Tartars shouted loudly, and all the guards surrounded them, protecting Batu, Li Zhifeng, and You Miao in the middle, facing the wolves that were staring outside. The wild wolves have been grinding their fists for a long time, and after the first one pounced, it immediately caused a great confusion. You Miao couldn't hear or understand the Tatar language the guards were shouting, but Batu's guards were strong in body and superb in martial arts.
It was also the first time that Batu saw this battle. Although he was calm on the surface, he was still a little scared inside. However, as the first guard fell, more and more guards were injured.
Batu was furious and roared loudly, apparently to cheer up the guards, but the sharp-eyed You Miao immediately noticed something was wrong. The guard who fell to the ground was only caught by the wolf, but did not get up again. Was it poisoned or killed by something
"Someone attacked while the chaos!" You Miao said, "Don't go out!"
Batu was about to go out to supervise the battle with his long sword in hand, but was hugged by You Miao and pulled back to the fire. He looked at Li Zhifeng in horror, but found that Li Zhifeng closed his eyes and turned his ears to the side, as if he recognized the wolf howl. Mixed subtle sounds.
Immediately afterwards, Li Zhifeng pulled away his long bow and shot an arrow like a shooting star. There was a scream from the top of the tree, and someone fell under the tree.
Countless tiny black arrows flew from another tree, You Miao understood that they were poison arrows! He picked up a piece of wood to protect himself and Batu. More and more guards fell to the ground. Li Zhifeng drew his long bow again and shot an arrow. From another tree, a man in black jumped down from the tree. escaped into the night.
However, the man in black didn't run very far, and he screamed again, and was killed by another person who was killed from the side. Li Zhifeng shot two arrows, shouting one after another in the dark, not knowing the situation.
A firework rose in the distance, illuminating the night.
"Run!" Li Zhifeng yelled.
More and more wolves rushed down from the hillside. You Miao pulled Batu up and rushed out of the encirclement. Batu roared at You Miao: "Can't run! There are wolves outside!"
"There will still be chasing troops!" You Miao shouted to Batu, "Trust me!"
You Miao and Batu looked at each other, and in just a breath, Batu got up and followed You Miao, turned back and shouted to the guards. After the guards took cover, they protected Batu from withdrawing from the valley.
The wolves occupied the tent circle and pursued them relentlessly. The horses had already been frightened and escaped, so how could people's feet be the opponents of wolves? The guards were shooting arrows back and talking loudly, Batu said: "We can't run very far like this! Up the tree..."
"Follow me! I have a way!" You Miao said loudly in his ear: "Trust me!"
Batu didn't ask any more questions, followed You Miao, staggered out of the valley, and rushed down the mountain road. You Miao himself didn't know where to flee. He just followed Li Zhifeng, and Li Zhifeng followed the direction of the fireworks set off by Nie Dan. run.
Immediately afterwards, Batu and You Miao both stepped out of the air and fell off the slope.
The two shouted together, and they fell to the ground and their clothes were torn. Batu got up first, then pulled up You Miao, and staggered to the front. The sound of the water continued, and several people had fled to the stream.
Batu turned around and saw that the guards were holding torches. They had been attacked by that round of poison arrows and were bitten by wolves. There were only about twenty guards left. Batu's frightened eyes looked into the dark valley, where more wolves rushed forward one after another.
The guards stood by the stream and shouted loudly to each other. They were supposed to let Batu run first, and he and others were loyal to protect the Lord. After they stayed behind, Batu argued loudly with them. When the wolves were about to charge, Li Zhifeng took a deep breath. tone.
Suddenly, everyone was quiet.
Immediately afterwards, Li Zhifeng let out a wolf roar that pierced through the night!
That long roar kept waking up the sleeping mountain range, the trees rolled and swept like a sea tide in the wind and thunder-like cold wind, all the Tartars changed color, Batu almost fell, looking into Li Zhifeng's eyes full of fear.
You Miao was shocked by this sound, but Li Zhifeng's whistling sound rose again, You Miao immediately covered Batu's ears subconsciously, and the guards had no time to respond, and Li Zhifeng's whistling made their ears buzzing.
After a long time, Li Zhifeng stopped howling, and the wolves surrounding them slowly retreated into the forest.
Batu said: "You... you are... "
Li Zhifeng glanced at You Miao, You Miao nodded, Li Zhifeng put one hand on his left shoulder, bowed, and behaved like a courtier to Batu, whispering in a low voice.
"Prince Sanado of Quanrong, came here to protect Batu Khan."
You Miao also bowed and saluted Batu.
Batu's eyes were full of shock, but it didn't take long for him to regain his composure.
"It turns out... it turns out... I don't know anything... No... I don't know..." Batu said with lingering fears.
"Your Majesty." You Miao said: "Now is not the time to greet each other, first find a way to get out of here and go!"
With a word, everyone moved again, walking along the creek in the dark night, escaping the valley.
