Outside the Anerji tribe, to the east.
The patriarch An Wenkang looked gloomy and was inspecting the construction of the wall.
There were only a few defenders in Dingxi City or Peishi City. However, his people went to attack with several times the enemy, but they were repeatedly frustrated and suffered heavy casualties.
Now their morale has plummeted, and they have to stop marching into the city.
As the clan leader, An Wenkang did not follow the army eastward.
After listening to the detailed battle report from the front, he couldn't help but be moved by the tall city wall outside Yunchui City.
Especially after the unprovoked harassment by the skinheads last time, he learned the hard way and simply sent the remaining tribesmen to build a wall along the perimeter of the tribe.
Chirp~
A loud eagle cry suddenly sounded in the northern sky.
what's the situation?
An Wenkang subconsciously looked up.
The eagle named Shunzi seemed to have noticed something strange, and flew towards the north quickly while croaking.
"What's going on?" he asked sharply.
The clan elders and guards nearby couldn't help but tremble.
"Clan leader." Someone calculated and murmured: "Shunzi means that there are people or large animals that he has never seen moving about thirty or forty miles to the north."
As for what it was, he didn't know.
After all, humans and animals are different, and no one can understand exactly what those eagles are shouting.
"Then why are you still standing there?" An Wenkang roared again, "Why don't you go over and check it out?"
He's been in a particularly bad mood lately.
The battle ahead in Yunchui suffered a setback. Both the attack on Peishi City and the Yangguan Ancient Road were very unsatisfactory. The sons of the Angel tribe suffered heavy casualties.
Unfortunately, Yun Chui recently pacified several counties in Laigu. In case the Yunchui people opened up the east-west line, they would re-arm the Yanchui Fortress.
Then Angel will most likely return empty-handed after paying a heavy price.
"Yes!" A guard responded, leading a team of ten people and hurried north.
The hills to the north.
Ren Ning put down the telescope and silently calculated the distance of the eagle in the sky.
After a while, he gently patted the black horse under him.
Bah!
Chai Feng let out a long roar, unable to hold back.
The black horse sprang out of the bushes like a whirlwind, its limbs flying wildly, and it rushed towards the hill where Ben Lei was about to disappear, carrying its owner like a flying horse.
Tweet, Tweet, Tweet~
The eagle named Shunzi was the closest to the two. When he saw another fleeing enemy on the ground, his screams couldn't help but become louder and louder.
It flapped its wings wildly and accelerated to catch up.
At this time Lei Er had just rushed over the top of the hill.
He chuckled, and even turned back and raised his fingers provocatively at Shunzi in the sky.
"Young man, you have the guts to catch up."
I don’t know if Shunzi understands it, but the screams are getting louder and faster, and the flying speed is getting faster and faster.
The speed of chasing the wind is very fast. After all, it is a ground walking animal, and it is running upwards.
It rushed up to the top of the hill, and Shunzi from the sky had already caught up with it.
Ren Ning laughed.
Draw the bow.
call out!
The black arrow shot up into the sky like lightning and instantly hit the flat-haired beast in the sky.
Gua!
Shunzi let out one last shrill scream and fell down with a whir.
When it fell to the ground, Ren Ning happened to ride by. He bent down and picked up the arrow together with the eagle.
At this time, the sun was just setting, and twilight quickly enveloped the sky. When the other eagles rushed over, they were almost blind.
They circled around and around the north, but they could never find where the two horses were hiding. In the end, he had no choice but to return to the tribe.
Guji
Angel tribe, central tent.
boom!
An Wenkang's face turned dark and he slapped the table in front of him heavily.
"So we just lost a top eagle? And you didn't find anything?"
All the Angels in the tent lowered their heads in unison. Everyone was silent, their hearts aching.
There are many eagles in the tribe, but only four are really useful.
Others not only lack endurance, but also cannot tell the difference between friend and foe.
It seems that they are alert.
Whenever there is an animal running on the ground, even a hare, it will chirp non-stop, which is very annoying.
If they send out cavalry to search as soon as they make a noise, they will probably end up exhausting the clan members who serve as guards.
"Who led the team just now?" An Wenkang suppressed his temper.
Zha Liangjie took a step forward and said, "Clan leader, it's me."
An Wenkang nodded, "Tell me, what did you see?"
He said: "I remember that your boy's mount is good. It is understandable that he cannot keep up with the distance of thirty or forty miles. Can't you see what happened?"
"Clan leader." Zha Liangjie said with a bitter look on his face: "There happens to be a hill thirty or forty miles north of the tribe. Although it is not high, my subordinates really can't see what is going on there."
Besides, he knew that there were enemies in front of him, and although his mount was good, he did not dare to charge forward alone.
snort!
An Wenkang glared.
Zha Liangjihan suddenly shed tears.
"Patriarch, my subordinates really saw a man riding a golden horse. He shot down the sky with an arrow from the top of the hill."
"Such a powerful archery skill?" An Wenkang's face became even more serious, "Is that man bald or with hair?"
Zha Liangjie didn't dare to think too much and said directly: "Bald head!"
In fact, the distance between the two sides was too far. Even if he opened his eyes, he could only vaguely see the shadow of one person and one rider.
As for whether the other person has long hair or not, it's really hard to tell.
However, Zha Liangjie had been An Wenkang's bodyguard for a long time and knew what the clan leader was worried about, so he simply followed his words.
An Wenkang breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked towards the guards who were chasing north together.
The guards all shuddered and spoke one after another.
"Clan leader, you know that your subordinates have the sharpest eyes. You can see an ant clearly from a hundred steps away. Captain Cha is right, that man does have a bare head."
"That's right. When we chased him, the man's head was reflected in the sunset, which almost blinded his subordinates."
…
An Wenkang didn't listen any more.
"Go on, all clan members over the age of twelve should keep their spirits up at all times and keep an eye on their surroundings according to the clan's previous plan. Especially on the south and west sides where the walls have not yet been built, pay more attention to what's going on outside."
"Yes!" Everyone accepted the order.
"There may be enemies attacking the tribe in the past few nights. As long as they dare to come, they will be surrounded by me immediately and I will never let any of them go."
"I, An Wenkang, want to see if this group of people has taken advantage of the leopard's courage by coming here again and again to cause trouble!"
Zha Liangjie and the guards who went to follow him looked at each other and lowered their heads.
He moved his mouth, but did not dare to make a sound.
"Also," An Wenkang looked at his guards again, "Tomorrow you take two teams of people to the north to search carefully and see if you can find any clues."
"Yes!" Zha Liangjie agreed.
North.
Ren Ning scratched his head.
The two of them haven't washed their hair for a while. There was dust, dirt and even grass in my hair, and it was a little itchy from time to time.
They were gnawing on a big eagle.
"How long has this eagle lived?" Lei Er looked unhappy. "The meat is too old and chews like a piece of wood."
Ren Ning shook his head speechlessly.
Then why does someone still eat with his mouth full and his face full of oil?
