Scared to death?
Hum.
Huting Tuochi sneered.
"My eldest brother was in an unfair position and was unworthy of the blessing of his ancestors. He could only sit in that cold palace with a guilty conscience, suspicious of ghosts and gods all day long. He still cannot tell outsiders."
"Comparing his feelings, he is afraid of ghosts and gods, so he thinks others are afraid of them too. Are you still trying to use this trick to intimidate me?"
"Dream!"
After saying that, Hutingtuochi kicked the two doctors and went straight back to his residence.
Ren Ning in the corner looked weird.
It turns out that the prairie king is afraid of ghosts and gods!
I don’t know how much truth Hu Ting Tuo Chi said.
The group returned to their residence.
The staff's faces were full of worry.
"Big Chief, I have to say something bad. Your eldest brother... ahem... although the false king's position is not right, he does have all the soldiers and horses in Xiliang in his hands now."
As long as the royal court randomly sends a medium-sized tribe over, the famous Horse Bandit Stone Forest will cease to exist.
Hutingtuochi raised his head and looked to the east, "No need to worry."
"My eldest brother has always been ambitious, but unfortunately his life is thinner than paper. He colluded with Nanfeng and Beixiong to attack Yunchui in the east, determined to create the greatest era in the history of the grassland."
Speaking of this, Huting Tuochi burst out laughing, his smile full of ridicule.
"That's a good idea."
It's a pity that God does not follow people's wishes.
Nan Feng died before he left the army, and was completely wiped out by Yun Chui in the blink of an eye. Beixiong himself was in a mess again.
Now only Xiliang is focused on attacking.
"Yes." The staff frowned deeply: "The grassland is now a bit difficult to get off."
Although he was Hu Ting Tuo Chi's staff, he automatically stood on the opposite side of the Prairie King.
But he is also a prairie man.
In this external war, we naturally do not want Xiliang to lose.
"I heard that An Wenkang, the leader of the Angel tribe, scolded the Blood Moon tribe a while ago. This incident spread throughout the grassland and caused an uproar everywhere."
well.
The staff member let out a long sigh.
"These are the two main tribes that most support the eastward march to Yunchui, but now they are in constant internal strife. By the way, the small and medium-sized tribes affiliated with them are also pushing each other away with cold eyebrows."
"It's a bit troublesome."
Just like the old saying of Yun Chui.
Once the people's hearts are lost, it will be difficult to lead the team.
"They made a good fuss." Hu Tingtuo applauded with laughter, his brows even more relaxed.
"The more trouble the army attacks and the more internal strife the tribes have, the safer we will be."
"My eldest brother is probably very worried right now. Even if he finds out that I am in the Horse Bandits Stone Forest, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to get his men over now."
The staff wiped their sweat and couldn't agree.
"Big Chief, you can't say that."
The Xiliang army may not be able to defeat the Yankui Fortress or the Dishicheng City in Dingxi, but can they still not defeat the Ma Bandit Stone Forest?
"You are the Puppet King's worst enemy. With his cruel temperament, once he knows that you are here, it is very likely that the Eastern Expedition team will come directly north when passing by the Luoxi tribe..."
"We still need to have a foolproof plan."
While the two were discussing, there were footsteps outside, and the horse thief in charge of the search arrived.
"Big Chief," he said with an ugly face, "My subordinates have carefully inspected the entire stone forest from head to toe..."
But nothing was found.
Instead, it caused many conflicts between old and new horse thieves.
"Nothing was found?" Hu Tingtuochi couldn't believe it for a moment, "How did those people die?"
The room was quiet.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one answered.
cough!
The staff reminded in a low voice.
"Big Chief, the dead people are already dead. Their causes of death can be investigated later. What we need to solve most urgently now is the conflict between the newcomers and the old people in the stone forest."
Hu Tingtuo reacted late and couldn't help scratching his head.
The old horse thief has experienced hundreds of battles and is the main fighting force of Shilin. However, everyone is unruly, muddle along, and never think about the future.
Grain stall
The new horse thief is Hu Tingtuo Chi's hope for the future. He even began to take in the children of herdsmen, hoping to expand the entire stone forest.
The old ones cannot be discarded, and there are more and more new ones, so the stone forest has become what it is now.
The old horse thief doesn't like the newcomer. The new horse thieves relied on Hu Tingtuo Chi's overt and covert support and began to clamor for the old horse thieves, and the two sides were in trouble.
This water fetching incident was just the trigger for conflicts.
Ren Ning in the dark corner couldn't help but shake his head.
His eyes fell more on the staff member.
Although this man had nothing to do with the Grassland King, he was still thinking about the outcome of Xiliang. Those who love Xiliang so loyally must be killed.
As for Hu Ting Tuo Chi.
The horse thief in the stone forest is only over six hundred years old, but he has been unable to deal with it.
It's just an embroidered pillow that looks useless.
No wonder he was no match for the Prairie King and eventually became a horse thief.
It is estimated that even if the Grassland King knew that he was here, he would not bother to take another look near the Desert of No Return.
The room was full of people discussing it word by word, but to no avail.
Ren Ning didn't listen anymore.
He quietly left the area around Hutin Tochi's residence.
At nightfall, the door opened with a creak.
The staff dragged their tired bodies in.
He glanced at the table while thinking about something.
At this sight, the staff's eyes widened immediately.
He was always careful to prevent anyone from sneaking in, and everything in the house had a fixed place.
At this time, the brush in the pen holder suddenly changed its position.
The staff knew something was wrong, so they turned around and wanted to go out.
However, Ren Ning had noticed something was wrong with his breathing and took action decisively.
flutter!
With one strike of the knife, the staff member fell to the ground.
Anyone with a red value of seventy or eighty was powerless to resist Ren Ning's sudden attack. What's more, the red value of the staff in front of me is only 35.
He rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
Ren Ning took his time. First, he calmly locked the door, tied up the person, and then stuffed a piece of cloth into the mouth of the aide.
He was very measured in his approach, so he sat by the bed and waited patiently for the person to wake up.
Not long after, the staff member opened his eyes blankly.
He immediately saw the calm man beside the bed.
Black hair, dark eyes, yellow skin.
The bearded man who had just died was indeed not lying. He was indeed Yun Chui.
Ren Ning knelt down in front of him: "I ask questions, and you just need to nod or shake your head. Do you understand?"
The staff didn't answer and struggled hard.
Then one of his fingers was crushed.
"Ask me again, do you understand?" Ren Ning grabbed his other finger.
The staff member, who was sweating profusely in pain, nodded wildly.
"Very good." Ren Ning was very satisfied: "Besides Stone Forest, does Huting Tuochi have any other dens?"
The staff member's eyes flashed and he shook his head decisively.
Ding!
Ren Ning didn't know whether to believe it or not, but he crushed another finger.
"I'm sorry," he apologized, "I just pinched it because of my personal habit."
smoothly?
The staff member's eyes were so painful that his eyes were black. If it hadn't been for a ball of rags in his mouth, he would have sprayed this bastard to death.
"Is there any place where gold and silver treasures are hidden in the stone forest?" As he spoke, Ren Ning picked up another finger.
For more than half a month, he has been crawling around in the stone forest, not only drawing maps and breaking traps, but also looking for treasures.
However, except for some daily necessities and weapons and equipment of horse thieves, nothing else was found.
The staff heard clearly and were shocked. However, for some reason, he couldn't faint even if he wanted to.
Feeling the other party's cold fingers falling on his hand again, although he hadn't made a move yet, a chill had already risen in the heart of the staff member.
He no longer hesitated and nodded quickly.
"Very good." Ren Ning took out the stone forest map he brought with him, "The location?"
