North of the Great Wall
"General," a Japanese soldier looked around in confusion.
His tone was bitter: "Are we going the wrong way?"
They have been walking for more than a month, and the entire team has lost nearly half of its people, but as far as the eye can see is a vast sea of snow.
It was as if there were no signs of other living creatures in the world except them.
As for the legendary Beixiong settlement, it is even unheard of.
"Everyone, please stop for a moment. Let's all eat and rest." Miyamoto Daiki stopped the team and signaled to his subordinates not to panic.
He took out Si Nan and compared it carefully.
"Don't worry, everyone. Yes, this is the direction we are going."
"The reason why we haven't seen the Beixiong settlement yet is probably because the snow is too deep and we walk slowly. Even though we have been away from Beichuan for a long time, we actually haven't gone very far."
"After the break, let's continue setting off! General Genjing and other brothers in the North Customs are waiting for our good news."
The soldiers remained silent and glanced dejectedly at the thin horses in the team.
There is not much food and grass on the horse's back.
If the Beixiong settlement is no longer found and the surroundings are covered with ice and snow, the entire team will soon be in dire straits.
die.
They were not afraid and were even mentally prepared before leaving Beihai Customs.
But if this ruins the plans of General Nei and even the entire Yamato nation, it would be a shame to die.
Another half month passed with struggle.
"General," a soldier said excitedly, "did you notice? It seems that the snow is falling a little less."
"Really?" Daiki Miyamoto stretched his neck and looked forward, and quickly nodded in agreement excitedly, "It's a little smaller."
At least the viewing distance this time is much further than before, and the field of vision is much clearer.
He looked around and soon frowned again.
The snow is getting lighter, but the thickness of the snow has not changed much, and it is still extremely difficult to move.
But no matter what, it's always a good thing.
Soon, the sun sets and the day is ready to end.
Without Miyamoto Daiki's orders, the Japanese pirate soldiers scattered on the spot, looking around for a leeward place to spend the night.
Suddenly someone was surprised.
"General, this way! I saw the Beixiong settlement."
Buzz~
Everyone was refreshed and could no longer care about anything else. They turned around and ran quickly in the direction of the shouting soldier.
We talk about running, but because the snow is so thick, it’s really just like moving.
After a long while, Daiki Miyamoto finally rushed over.
He pulled his neck and looked forward, almost crying with joy.
Xiaobing didn't lie to him.
About three or four miles ahead is a basin that is not too big.
The center of the basin is densely packed with yurts and tents.
Even when the wind is favorable, you can still faintly smell the aroma of food and hear the low-moo-moo-moo-baa-baa-baa sounds of cattle and sheep.
Miyamoto Daiki first marked the map he brought, and then waved his big hand in front of the expectant eyes of the soldiers.
"Let's go! Let's go there."
Wow.
Everyone suddenly smiled.
They excitedly took their things and led the thin horses, one foot deep and one foot shallow, towards the small basin in front.
Three or four miles, not too far, but it took them more than an hour.
Woof woof woof.
Just as they approached the outer perimeter, a fierce dog barking sounded.
After a while, several men in bloated clothes came out.
At this time, night fell, but Miyamoto Daiki could still see clearly, and the weapon in the opponent's hand shone with a cold light.
Buzz~
The soldiers saw this and couldn't help but feel a commotion. Several people's hands couldn't help but touch their waists.
"Don't mess around!" Miyamoto Daiki shouted quickly.
He was not surprised but delighted.
The settlement in front of us covers a huge area and there should be a lot of people there.
Besides, it was freezing cold all around, and dusk was falling again.
Under normal circumstances, people in the settlement should have stayed in their houses like Huang Shitao in Beiguan.
However, as soon as their group arrived, the guards immediately stood up with murderous intent. It can be said that they were at least much more vigilant than Beihai Customs.
It seems that the combat effectiveness of such a tribe should not be weak, it can even be said to be very strong.
It is a force that they can look forward to and even rely on.
"This is the headquarters of the Ridan tribe. Who are you and what are you doing here? Please tell me your name."
Look at the tense stance, if Miyamoto and the others can't explain why, the other party seems ready to pounce.
Miyamoto Daiki was even more happy when he heard this.
The reason why he was sent out by Masato Nei and entrusted with important tasks was because he understood the Kitakyu language.
"Hello, brothers from the Ridan tribe. We are from Yamato, Japan. We came all the way to your tribe under the orders of my general. We have important matters to discuss..."
Miyamoto Daiki quickly explained the purpose of his and others' visit, and then waved his hand.
The soldiers behind quickly came over to give some greeting gifts.
The one who takes advantage of others is soft-handed and the one who eats others is short-tongued. As expected, the other party's face looked much better. After a rough inspection and a few questions, he welcomed them in.
"Dear guests, I'm really sorry. The weather is extremely cold this year, and our tribe doesn't have many vacant tents, so I have to ask you to stay here first."
Miyamoto Daiki looked around in laughter.
"Thank you a lot, it's good to have a tent to live in. You know, as we go north, we almost always take things as they come. We may not even be able to find a shelter from the wind at night..."
After hearing this, the guard also breathed a sigh of relief.
They sent someone to bring some food.
"Everyone must be tired after traveling so far. You should take a good rest after eating. As for your purpose of coming, we will send someone to report to the clan leader as soon as possible."
Miyamoto Daiki was even more overjoyed and raised his hands repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you so much."
After thanking him, he eagerly stuffed some money into the guard's hand before giving up.
"General," seeing the guards leaving happily, some of the soldiers looked worried, "Do they look like..."
Miyamoto Daiki glanced at him.
"You are trying to say that they look a bit like Yun Chui Ren. But don't worry, we did not find the wrong place."
Ridan means waiting in Beixiong language.
One theory is that they are waiting for the Yunchui Empire to recognize their ancestors.
Because these people were originally Yunchui people who migrated north, but they gradually became mixed with Beixiong.
The second theory is to wait for the order from Emperor Beixiong.
It's just that the Ridan tribe is too far away from the core area of Beixiong. After waiting for hundreds of years, they may not be able to wait for an order, and gradually nothing happens.
Xiao Bing suddenly realized, but his brows furrowed even more.
"General, since they are originally the hybrids of Yunchui and Beixiong, will they join forces with our Yamato?"
Miyamoto Dashubi twitched the corners of his mouth with a smile.
"Every bustle in the world is for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. Whether we join forces or not, we have to look at the conditions given by both parties."
The next day, it was dawn.
Miyamoto Daiki was woken up.
I quickly went out and saw the same guards from last night outside.
Their expressions were a little strange, "General Miyamoto, our clan leader invites you to come over and drink milk tea."
After going around in circles, it took Miyamoto Daiki a while to arrive at the yurt of the Hitan clan leader.
The yurt was tall and gorgeous, and inside it sat two tall and imposing men facing each other.
Miyamoto Daiki bowed first and moved his eyes left and right, hesitating as to who was the real leader of the Hitan clan.
I saw the man on the left standing up with a bright and bright smile.
He hugged his arms and said, "Hello, my name is Wei Junqian, from the Starfall Legion!"
