The owner is not afraid, let alone an ownerless horse!

Ren Ning stared coldly at the galloping brown horse, turned around to let go of the horse's head and kicking front legs, and casually grabbed the reins.

He did not mount the horse, but with a whoosh, the short knife in his hand stabbed the horse's butt heavily.

boom!

Drawing the knife, a pool of warm blood came out.

Bah!

The brown horse screamed.

As expected of a battle-hardened war horse, it would not run away even if it was injured. The horse's hind legs kicked hard towards the enemy.

Ren Ning had already expected such a kick, so he put his reins on his hands and quickly stepped back to get out of the way.

The short knife slashed across!

Hiss!

He made a deep and long gash on the horse's hind leg.

Bah!

The brown horse staggered in pain.

Without the restraint of the reins, and unable to do anything, it looked at its master who fell to the ground and let out a mournful cry. Then he rushed forward with his head buried in his chest, and instantly disappeared into the vast darkness of the south.

Ren Ning breathed a sigh of relief and first determined the situation around him.

Seeing that the surroundings were safe, he picked up his bald-headed machete, chopped down some bushes, dragged him to Zhui Feng's side and covered the horse's body.

There was no tool like a shovel in his hand, and enemies might appear nearby at the next moment. Ren Ning had no time to dig a hole to bury his horse.

He had no choice but to cover the horse carcass with shrubs in a hurry to comfort him.

His hands are clasped together.

"Zhui Feng, rest in peace! You risked your life to save me. I will get out alive and avenge you!"

By this time it was completely dark.

However, the starry sky in ancient times was brilliant, and if you try hard to identify, you can still see everything in front of you clearly.

Ren Ning came to the wolf corpse, cut off ten thick slices of wolf meat, and stuffed it into the snatched dry food bag.

He didn't know how long he would have to run away before he could safely return to the Yunchui Empire or Yanchui Fortress. It was business to prepare more rations.

Just as he was about to leave, Ren Ning's eyes fell on the long fangs of the wolf's mouth.

This may also have been a wolf king. But after old age and decline, he was defeated by the new wolf king and was finally driven out.

Under the moonlight, the two fangs glowed slightly white, looking extremely ferocious.

Ren Ning's heart moved, and he cut them off with his knife and put them into the ration bag.

Just as a souvenir.

After doing all this, he dropped the heavy machete, once again took a deep look at Zhui Feng's grass grave, identified the direction below, and headed west in a roundabout way.

After walking for half a night, it was estimated that they were almost three or four kilometers away from the place where Zhui Feng fell, and Ren Ning found a dense bush to rest.

Before resting, he reapplied medicine and bandaged all the wounds on his body.

Ren Ning clicked his tongue in surprise.

The herbs found by Chai Feng have amazing effects.

Only half a day had passed, and from time to time they had to go to war with each other to risk their lives.

However, among the many wounds on his body, except for the largest wounds, most of the other wounds have stopped bleeding and reduced swelling. I think it will heal after a few days of rest.

It's just that Ren Ning is not a military doctor after all. After looking at it for a long time under the moonlight, I still couldn't identify what kind of herb it was.

He didn't hesitate. Since it was the life-saving grass Zhui Feng found, let's call it life-saving grass.

The next day it was bright and clear. The morning star still hangs high in the eastern sky.

Ren Ning was awakened by waves of distant and vague shouts.

He didn't move around, but immediately took out the wolf meat and cut it into small pieces, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it hard, and swallowed it straight down his neck.

The people depend on food. The days are very long, and only when you are full can you have the strength to cope with the encounter.

After a while, he filled himself half full, stopped and listened carefully to what was going on around him.

Ah, ah!

Human screams could be faintly heard from the east, mixed with Ren Ning's familiar Yun Chui language.

"Haha! Mr. Ge's Xiliang dog has the guts to give me a good time."

"Fifteen years later, I, Liu Dashi, am sweating again. I will eat the flesh of you bastards again and drink your blood!"

Ah, ah!

There were two more shrill screams.

Liu Dashi's voice never sounded again.

Ren Ning listened to all this expressionlessly. He moved his hands silently, and the red-to-black dagger flickered in and out of his hands, like a ghost.

After a while, Liu Dashi, who had been slashed twice, finally regained his breath.

Ha ha!

Looking at the horse corpse chasing the wind in front of him and the corpses of the two Xiliang people next to him, he spat out the blood in his mouth and smiled happily.

"Kill two with one, well done brother." He shouted loudly, regardless of whether Ren Ning could hear it or not, "Take care of yourself!"

"You want to die? It's not that easy!" A tall black horse stood in front of Liu Dashi.

Gelong on horseback had his clothes open, revealing the ferocious wolf head on his chest.

He looked gloomily at Yun Chui Ren, who was covered in blood on the ground, "Come here, stop his bleeding. He can't die yet!"

"Yes, Gelong Baichang!" A Xiliang soldier ran over to stop Liu Dashi's bleeding.

Whoosh!

Liu Dashi, who was dying, suddenly swelled up like a poisonous snake.

With his remaining left hand, he hugged the soldier, opened his teeth and bit down hard on the other side's neck. Under the astonished gaze of the other side, he bit a big hole in his throat.

Ha ha!

Liu Dashi spat out the pieces of meat in his mouth and laughed wildly as he watched Xiao Bing helplessly cover his bleeding throat.

If you make another profit, you won’t lose even if you die.

"What a waste!" Geron was furious.

He jumped off the horse with a roar, walked up to Liu Dashi, who was laughing wildly, and punched him unconscious.

Grong didn't even look at the soldier on the ground who had his throat bitten through. He pointed at another soldier casually, "Come here and stop his bleeding!"

The soldier did not dare to disobey Ge Long's order, so he walked up to Liu Dashi with fear and trembling. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he had completely fainted, and quickly stopped the bleeding.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the south, and a Xiliang scout rushed to Ge Long's side.

"Chang Bai, the injured horse should be part of a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain." He saluted respectfully, "Forty of us chased south for nearly fifteen miles and found the body of the horse that died of blood loss. But Yun Chui was not found around him at all. People’s whereabouts.”

He glanced at the bald head and Guishou's corpse on the ground, and asked for instructions: "Chang Bai, what should I do when I get down?"

Gronn was not surprised. He glanced towards the south, "Whether it's to divert the tiger away from the mountain or to attack in the west. Let them spread out and search where they are. Pay attention to safety!"

The soldier responded, turned his horse's head and ran away.

Gronk pondered.

He was a hundred men and commanded ten teams, a total of one hundred people.

Except for the forty people searching southward and the ten people guarding them, the other fifty people were carefully searching around.

No matter how big the grassland is, it will never be a world dominated by clouds. No matter where the other party is hiding, he will be found sooner or later.

As soon as you find any clues, blow the alarm whistle.

During the long day, those Yunchui soldiers who were absconding had no way to hide.

Ren Ning didn't know this. After finishing his exercise, he erased all traces of where he had been and quietly climbed to the high ground not far away.

In the misty morning light, Ren Ning carefully hid in the grass and observed the situation from a high position.

Soon, he perked up.

About a mile or two to the east, a group of Xiliang people came.

The leader was a mounted infantryman, followed by four crooked Xiliang soldiers. They kept a distance of about twenty meters from each other, looking around carelessly and slowly searching westward.

They don't look like they are looking for someone, more like they are coping.

Ren Ning grinned, feeling not surprised at all.

Last night he stabbed the bald horse and drove south.

The bloodstains and the bent grass marks showed that someone had fled south in a hurry. Therefore, the south must be the focus of the search.

Although there are dangers in other directions, they are safer than the south.

Moreover, these people had been searching for most of the night, and all of them were already sleepy and tired. If you can still continue to look around like this, you can be considered a good leader.

At this time, Ge Long was a little impatient by the grave of Zhui Feng's horse.

The encounter between the scouts from both sides the day before yesterday was a surprise to both sides.

When Ren Ning and the others saw that there were several times more people from Xiliang than from their own side, they did not hesitate to scatter in all directions, every one they could escape.

Although many were intercepted and killed at that time, Gelong had no idea how many Yunchui scouts were still missing on the grassland.

In case there are scouts, the information that Xiliang is preparing to march eastward on a large scale is sent back to Yankuo Fortress. After Yun Chuiren was prepared. Facing the Rock Frontier Fortress, which is armed to the teeth, they will most likely return without success.

"Wake him up." Ge Long pointed coldly at Liu Dashi who had fainted on the ground, "Tie him behind the horse and drag him away. Don't let him die! Until the cloud-clutching mouse is forced out. "
