Bloodmoon Settlement.
Although Toishi City was far away, the news of Xiliang's defeat and the annihilation of Xueyue's army had spread unstoppably among the large tribe.
The grassland in late autumn is usually sunny, but at this time, there is a gloomy atmosphere everywhere.
The clan leader, Xueyue Zhiyong, and the elders of various clans had to stand up and divide into several groups to patrol the tents to express condolences.
Outside a dilapidated tent in front, an old woman was sitting and basking in the sun.
Two eyes stared blankly at the eastern sky.
cough.
Xueyue Zhiyong walked over cordially and said, "Old Amu, you are sitting in the sun. How are you?"
The old woman heard the sound and looked over for a long time, "I won't die just yet."
She looked up and down hesitantly at the imposing middle-aged man in front of her, "Master, I don't know who you are..."
The more he looked at the old woman, the more she trembled, and two lines of tears couldn't help but flow out.
Such a person must be a noble of the tribe.
The front line was defeated and the entire Blood Moon army was wiped out. Could this man have come to announce her funeral?
Woohoo...
The old woman couldn't help crying.
cough.
The guard next to him hurriedly came up and introduced, "Amu, this is the leader of our Blood Moon Clan. The leader is here to see you."
"Patriarch?" The old woman was startled and quickly became nervous and nervous. She quickly struggled to stand up and bowed.
Xueyue Zhiyong accepted it silently.
He looked around and said, "Old Amu, the weather is going to get cooler soon. Are your winter clothes and the grass for the cattle and sheep ready?"
Seeing that it was not a funeral, the old woman let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your concern, Patriarch. There are not many people in the old woman's house in the past few years. She only needs two or three sheepskin clothes to survive the winter."
"Although it is not as comfortable as the cotton-padded clothes bought by the caravan in previous years, and it smells a little bit. But the old woman is already very satisfied."
As for pasture for the winter, she didn't answer.
However, Xueyue Zhiyong and the guards around him could hear it clearly.
This old woman's other family members are not here, so what cattle and sheep do she have?
Went into the tent and walked around.
There are so many obstacles inside. The only valuables were probably some bacon, a bow and a few bags of dried cow dung.
Xueyue Zhiyong watched silently.
After coming out, he comforted him a few words and asked his guards to bring some food and supplies before continuing to move forward.
The old woman behind silently watched him walk away, opening her stifled mouth, but no words came out.
Xueyue Zhiyong didn't look back, but he could still feel the needle-like gaze from behind.
"Check her family."
The guards were well prepared and quickly took out the list and checked it.
"Hui Patriarch, she and her daughter-in-law are the only ones in this family. Her husband, son and two grandsons are all on the Eastern Front..."
Xueyue Zhiyong listened, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he even waved to the passing tribesmen from time to time.
He didn't stop smiling until he reached a place with few people.
"Have you not heard from Yingxiang yet?"
The guards looked at each other, none of them said a word, and finally lowered their heads in silence.
well.
Xueyue Zhiyong's face no longer had the warm smile before.
He let out a long sigh.
Since returning to the tribe from the front line, Blood Moon's eagles have been delivering letters back and forth between the settlement and Stone City.
Therefore, as soon as all parties in Yunchui counterattacked, Xueyue Zhiyong learned about the battle situation in the east on the third day.
Yun Chui was approaching menacingly, and he was determined to send troops to support him.
However, the distance between the two places is too far, and the distant water cannot save the near fire.
In the end, Xueyue Zhiyong could only order the 20,000 Xueyue soldiers stationed in the Benlu tribe to rush to Toishi City for support.
Unfortunately, the distance between Blood Moon Settlement and Running Deer is also very far. No matter how fast the eagle flies, it still takes a full day.
By the time Xueyue Zhiyong's order reached the Benlu tribe, the battle outside Peishi City had already reached its fourth day.
At this time, even if the Blood Moon people in Running Deer could rush to Peishi City as desperately as Huo Li, I'm afraid it would be too late.
So the so-called support was that more than 20,000 people ran eastward for less than 200 miles. Finally, they learned that the front line had been defeated, and they stopped silently.
Finally, it was discovered that the 50,000 people who had escaped from the battlefield were heading towards their location.
Twenty thousand versus fifty thousand.
Instead of advancing, this group of people retreated decisively back to the Benlu tribe.
In the end, despite being worried and frightened, he embarked on the road home like other small and medium-sized tribes.
"Clan leader," in the silence, someone who could speak stood up.
"Don't worry too much. As the saying goes, no news is good news. Since the whereabouts of the Young Patriarch were not mentioned in the battle report of Yancheng Fortress, the Young Patriarch should have returned to the grassland."
"It's just that the grassland is vast and I don't know where it is at the moment."
"That's right." Others reacted and nodded in agreement.
"Patriarch, the young patriarch has been very smart since he was a child and has been blessed by the wolf god. He can always adapt to situations and finally turn disaster into good fortune. I don't think that more than 200,000 people in the clouds can do anything to the young patriarch, let alone the vast grassland."
The man concluded with a smile, "I feel that the young patriarch will soon return to the tribe safe and sound."
"What Lao Liang said is absolutely true!"
At this time, the other guards also opened their mouths one after another, speaking out their condolences.
"Clan leader, the young leader is wise and powerful, and the ordinary threats from the grassland can't do anything to him. The real threat is Angel's bastards who eat and sell foreign countries for glory."
"In order to clear themselves of the crime of escaping from the battlefield, they are very likely to be disadvantageous to the young clan leader. The young clan leader is weak and has no choice but to bypass the traditional east-west grain road and go back to ensure safety. Therefore, the talents we sent out are not available. Find him as soon as possible."
"If the young patriarch still brings his mount, he should be back in our territory in the next few days, considering his strength."
Xue Yue Zhiyong looked deeply towards the east, and after a while he said, "I hope so."
cough!
After saying Blood Moon Eagle Soaring, another guard gritted his teeth.
"Clan leader, how should we deal with Angel's bastards?"
"Angel?" Xue Yue Zhiyong turned back and looked to the west.
Hum.
There was a cold smile on his lips, "Just go back and prepare yourself first."
brush!
The guards responded in unison without hesitation, "Yes!"
They weren't surprised either.
Both Blood Moon and Angel are one of the largest tribes on the grassland.
Once the two sides go to war with each other, the impact will be extremely far-reaching.
Not to mention the eastward expedition to Yunchui, I am afraid that even the grassland itself will be in turmoil.
Therefore, although Xue Yue Zhiyong was full of anger and believed from the bottom of his heart that Angel was causing trouble, he had to act cautiously without definite evidence.
Although the news from the front was timely, it was only a few words.
They were deep in the grassland and could only guess what happened outside of Peishi City based on the few lines above. In fact, they couldn't be accurate.
Just wait a few more days.
Xueyue Zhiyong raised his head and looked coldly at the half-finished city wall in front of him.
It would be better if Xueyue Yingxiang could come back and tell the specific battle situation personally.
If Blood Moon Yingxiang fails to come back or is secretly kidnapped or even killed by Angel, don't blame him for attacking first.
First latest.
