On the grassland to the north of Donggui City, Xu Yunyan, surrounded by dozens of soldiers, quickly led the team north, hoping to reunite with his tribe and lead his soldiers to live the happy and peaceful days.
It's just that Sun Ning no longer knows where he led the team. Xu Yunyan and the others traveled north for a long time but could not find any trace of Sun Ning and the others.
Xu Yunyan muttered to himself worriedly.
"What happened to Madam? Where did she lead the tribe? Didn't she say to the north? Why can't she be found?"
Although Xu Yunyan kept muttering there, wondering where his wife had gone, he still continued to search northward as he had discussed with his wife.
But what Xu Yunyan didn't know was that he and his wife were indeed heading north, and Xu Yunyan and the others were traveling very quickly with light equipment and had already reached the same latitude as his wife.
It's just that there is a distance between them, and the two sides cannot be seen.
The more anxious you are, the further you move forward and the further you distance yourself.
Xu Yunyan's team marched very fast, running directly in front of Sun Ning. When Xu Yunyan arranged for people to search again, no trace of the tribe could be found.
This made Xu Yunyan even more worried.
"What's going on? Why can't I find any traces? Where is it to the north? Are we going further north?"
However, although he did not know where he was in Wangbei, nor how his wife was doing now, but looking at these strong soldiers following him, Xu Yunyan could only grit his teeth and continue driving forward with them.
Be sure to take him with you
When we go home, we must take them to reunite with their relatives! They must not be allowed to make unnecessary sacrifices.
Just when Xu Yunyan thought this way, things turned out to be so incredible.
After Xu Yunyan arranged for the soldiers to go out, they crossed a high slope and stopped to observe that there were no traces around. Then they turned north to join Xu Yunyan and the others. However, just after the scouting soldiers left, there was a black line on the horizon in the distance. Appear.
If you look carefully, you can see that it is a tribe, dragging its family and people with them to the north.
And if this isn't their tribe, then which one is it?
It's just that things were such a coincidence. If the soldier had waited a little longer, took a closer look, or arrived a little later, he wouldn't have missed it.
But there are not so many ifs.
After the cavalry in the distance left, Sun Ning and others walked a certain distance and took a while to reach the high platform where the cavalry once stood. Sun Ning stopped and watched for a long time, turning around and asking the people around him.
"How about we set up camp here? There is a small river not far away that can provide us with water. The grassland grows extraordinarily lush because of the water source. Not to mention that we can stand high here and see far. What accidents will happen to us? It can also be discovered immediately.”
As soon as Sun Ning finished speaking, the other people directly agreed with Sun Ning's wishes. They did not dare to disobey Sun Ning's wishes. This was their leader's wife, the existence they believed in the most.
Seeing everyone supporting him, Sun Ning smiled.
She also has her own ideas. Her husband, her sisters, and her siblings have not come back and are now heading north.
They have traveled a long distance and have escaped many Ottoman cavalry who passed them by and had bad intentions. Now it is time to live a better life for their tribe and reunite with their relatives to live a happy life. .
As for moving forward, Sun Ning did not dare to lead the team any further. Going further north would have to leave the grassland. Once the grassland was taken away, it would be either the world of the grassland or the world of the small city-state.
How could a tribe on the grassland resist these small countries without city walls and sufficient military strength?
Let's stay here. Not only can we wait for our relatives, but we can also ensure that we can return to the grassland if we encounter unforeseen circumstances. After all, the grassland is also an existence that they are afraid of.
Sun Ning and the others selected a location to set up camp and began to set up a camp suitable for their survival step by step.
In this way, the sun gradually turned to the west, and soon a bright moon rose into the sky with stars and stars. A few miles north of Sun Ning's camp, Xu Yunyan and others also found a sheltered location to set up camp.
Although there are not many people, they are like a military camp with people on guard and patrolling back and forth, and some are ready to fight at any time. There are not many of them, and they have already encountered enemies who have designs on them. Although they have avoided them cleverly, But if they encounter it once, they will encounter it a second time. They don't dare to take it lightly the third time.
Sun Ning and Xu Yunyan both missed each other, but it was such a coincidence that they couldn't see each other at such a close distance.
But just as Sun Ning, Xu Yunyan and others were presiding over the affairs of the camp in their own camp, although
It wasn't a big deal, but after handling everything properly, I also thought of the brothers and sisters who had gone out from their camp.
Now, Sun Xiaoning continued to gallop across the wilderness with the dozens of cavalry following him.
They wanted to rest at night, but the cavalry would appear at any time from behind, leaving them helpless. They had to rely on perseverance to walk and stop. When they were tired, they would lie down on the horse. When they couldn't stand it anymore, they tied themselves to the horse. Above, let the war horse carry you forward.
As for the war horse, it stopped and stopped, eating and drinking, and resting, but its speed was no longer as fast as before.
However, they were not worried about their horses being like this. The same was true for the Turkic horses chasing them behind them. As they galloped day and night, everyone was already jolting out of shape. Even Sun Xiaoning, who was as beautiful as a flower, had a slight tinge on his face. He looked like he was about to take off his figure.
But maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe it was fate, but here Sun Xiaoning started to lose his image, and he actually looked a little more like Sun Ning.
Under the moonlight at another location, a few young men bumped into each other by mistake, and finally came to a pasture with traces of the former camp.
Look at this familiar pasture, then look at the familiar scenery around us and the familiar stars and moon that we could see when we came out of the camp. These stupid young people hugged each other and started crying.
"Great, great, we are finally back where we started. We are finally one step closer to finding our tribe."
Yes, these three stupid young men were arranged by Maimaiti. Contact their department
The three that fell.
They didn't know how lucky they were, or what kind of coincidence, but after determining the new direction, they finally arrived at their starting camp. This was very unexpected for them.
Then everyone was embarrassed again. Did they run east or south? How come they ended up at their starting camp after turning north?
But even though they didn't know where they were running, since they had returned to their original camp, they had the opportunity and the ability to go to the place where their tribe had moved.
Although it was dark night, the stupid young people found the starting camp. Maybe their luck had gotten better, or they had a belief in their hearts, so they kept running forward, and their direction was to the north. Looking for clues left by the tribe during their march, they began to pursue their tribe northward.
As these tribes pursued their tribe non-stop to the north, they gave orders to Maimaiti, who was now calling his soldiers to gather around and draw on the ground with the Ottoman men who requested them.
"You said this is the warehouse, and this outer area is your city lord's courtyard? We must first find a way to enter the city, and then we can break through the courtyard by surprise, open the warehouse, and take out all your treasures and food for you."
After Maimaiti finished speaking, these people laughed.
"It's simple. We all deliver wood to the city in exchange for Weibo money. We haven't been there for a few days. They must be impatient to wait. If we go to deliver firewood now, they will definitely be able to let us in.
Go. "
Maimaiti didn't expect that these people had already thought of a plan, and then looked at them with interest.
"Would it be that we didn't show up, would you have used this wood as an excuse to open the city gate, enter and directly attack the city lord's palace, and then rob his warehouse?"
After Maimaiti asked this question, these people's expressions froze, but they still said it in front of Maimaiti.
"Yes, we have been forced to live by our city lord. There is no other way. We can only do this. If the general can solve our confusion and rob us of our money and supplies, we are willing to nominate the general as the new city lord. Sir, I wonder what the general’s intention is?”
At this moment, Maimaiti's heart skipped a beat.
"You would actually recommend me, an outsider, to be your city lord?"
Looking at the curious Maimaiti, the few people didn't think there was any problem, but started talking.
"What the city lord can do is just collect money and hand it over to higher-level officials. As long as the general becomes our city lord, he can also take out money and hand it over to higher-level officials. We are no longer like before. Even if life is difficult, we are willing to elect the general to be our city lord. As long as the officials above can get the money they always get, it will not be difficult for the general, and they will turn a blind eye."
Maimaiti looked at these people, saying something to each other, and then a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Do you really think that I will be able to receive taxes that have little impact on you just like you want?"
These people nodded without hesitation, "Definitely, I
We used to pay very little taxes, but after the old city lord passed away, the new city lord kept robbing us of our supplies for his own comfort, and made it impossible for us to live the life we could live. As long as we return to the past In these days, we are willing to pay fairly low taxes. What's more, as long as we get back the property we have gained in the past few years, we can pay taxes for ten or twenty years even if we don't work. What does the general have to worry about? "
"is that so?"
Maimaiti couldn't help but think of the experience of being oppressed and exploited, and she couldn't help but feel itchy with hatred.
It turns out that this is the case everywhere!
"It's hateful. These nobles are so hateful. Now that I've encountered them, I can't let this happen again."
After expressing his dissatisfaction fiercely, Maimaiti immediately clapped his hands.
"Okay, then I will go with you to attack the City Lord's Mansion and get the finances you need. As for other matters, we will discuss and study them after this matter is resolved."
"The general is wise and mighty, and we will only follow the general's lead."
