The lone moon hung under the lead-gray sky, basking in a cold moonlight, covered with snow, with only sparse shrubs and poplar trees, trying to poke their heads out from under the thick snow. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Songyang Lake has long been frozen solid as iron, covered with ice and snow, and integrated with the vast sea of sand.

At this time, as the leader of the horse thieves, Chen Hai could still enjoy an independent tent, sheltering the cold wind from the felt cloth, laying dry straw mattresses, lying on the hay mattresses without undressed, looking at the charming moonlight outside through a gap on the top of the tent.

Chen Hai sometimes couldn't help but think that if there were no endless wars, what a beautiful thing it would be to be able to curl up in this tent with the people he likes, watching the moonlight blur!

Chen Hai also didn't know what kind of mood Dong Ning would be in at this moment, stopping at the Crescent Lake Oasis five or six hundred miles away, at this moment, did he feel fortunate to have the opportunity not to be a victim of the clan and marry into the Xiqiang Kingdom, or was she burdened with the difficult responsibilities given to her by the Dong family, and wanted to sacrifice herself to promote the alliance between Hexi and the Xiqiang Kingdom?

At this time, Ning Chan'er, who was wrapped in a yellow-brown robe, opened the thick felt curtain and came in.

Although the leaders of the horse thieves in the camp did not dare to be too presumptuous, Chen Hai's keen ears still heard the laughter mixed with envy and ridicule coming from outside the tent, no one thought that Ning Chan'er, the female devil, would be his well-behaved wife and concubine, and Ning Chan'er drilled into his tent at every turn along the way, and others thought that he was just Ning Chan'er, the female devil, playing with his face, and the eyes that came over him were both mocking and envious.

"What are you looking at?" Ning Chan'er saw Chen Hai lying motionless on the hay mattress with his legs crossed, and also came over to lie down, and through the gap, he saw a cold moonlight outside, and he couldn't see anything.

"Look at the moon!" Chen Hai said, sometimes he was puzzled in his heart, why this continent, like the earth, has the sun, moon, stars and four seasons, is this due to the laws of heaven and earth?

Ning Chan'er didn't think there was anything beautiful about the moon, her eyes were particularly bright and deep in the dim light, staring at Chen Hai curiously, and asked: "Why do you still act as if nothing happened, I thought you escaped at night and went to report to Dong Jianizi." ”

"Ran Hu seems to be rugged, but he has the potential to become a famous general, and since they are alert, they don't need me to report anymore. Chen Hai said calmly.

He governed the army in Fujiaoling, and Ran Hu had been the captain of the tiger in his account for more than a year, although he was born as a son of the sect lord, and his temperament seemed to be rough and informal, but he was the same as Du Yong, Chai Yu and other sect lords.

"Even if you have the potential to become a famous general, you have to go back alive to have a chance to stand out," Ning Chan'er although she was still habitually cynical in her words, but seeing that Chen Hai rarely had a serious conversation with her, she also sat up with interest and said, "Now there are only more than 400 elite horsemen escorting Dong Ning in Hexi, and there are only more than 100 horses in Xiqiang Country to welcome relatives. If Dong Jiannizi can't retreat from the difficulties, I can't guess how you can solve the current crisis. ”

"Then take one step at a time!" Chen Hai said.

With the situation so confusing, how could he have thought everything through in the first place?

Chen Hai thought in his heart, Dong Liang, the marquis of Wuwei, and Dong Chou, the prince of the world, even if they thought that Dong Ning would encounter resistance in this trip, they probably didn't expect that tens of thousands of elite horse thieves would gather at this moment, which was bound to destroy the marriage between Hexi and Xiqiang.

He hoped that Dong Ning and Ran Hu would be able to retreat east to Tieliuling directly after they noticed that there were a large number of horse thieves gathering on the front line of Songyang Lake, but even if Dong Ning would make her own choice, he didn't know, how could everything be in his mind?

"Even if I don't show up, you're going straight to Yequ Mountain?" Ning Chan'er didn't think about letting Chen Hai go so easily, and said, "The Crescent Lake Oasis is not in danger to defend, if they don't retreat east, they can still hold on to Yequ Mountain and wait for help, but it also happens to give the horse thieves a chance to surround the point and send reinforcements." If it were you, I probably wouldn't passively go to Yequ Mountain, right?"

"Vigil Qushan is also a good choice, even if the horse thieves want to surround the point to send reinforcements, they must have the heart to fight a decisive battle with the reinforcements of the Xiqiang State in the depths of the desert, but the real variable may be in the Xiqiang country. Chen Hai said, every step in the next step was hidden in the dangerous and murderous opportunities, and he didn't have any scheming to fight with Ning Chan'er, the demon girl, at this time, he also calmly said some considerations in his heart.

"So, I'll help you transfer all the horse thieves out of Yequ Mountain, do you owe me a favor?" Ning Chan'er asked with an invitation.

What Ning Chan'er said was not wrong, if Fan Dachun led two hundred horse thieves to stay in Yequ Mountain, Ran Hu and his men would have no chance to storm the small stone city of Yequ Mountain in a short period of time; and in the depths of the vast desert, if they did not want to retreat to Hexi, Ran Hu and Dong Ning only had four or five hundred elite cavalry guards around them, and under the infestation and siege of tens of thousands of elite horse thieves, they would not have a chance to support until the reinforcements arrived.

Chen Hai smiled helplessly and said: "The Black Yan Army can still obtain a large number of excellent armor from Juquanling at this time, and Yun Mengze can also build machine crossbows, machine chariots and warrior-level puppet armor, and the Black Yan Army can't even look down on it, you do everything possible to make sure I owe you a favor, what do you want to do?"

"In the camp of the Su Guards at the northern foot of Shenling Mountain, the blood-colored firmament that you dragged my soul into is not an illusion?" Ning Chan'er stared at Chen Hai's eyes and asked.

Chen Hai didn't expect Ning Chan'er to chase him into the vast desert at all costs, the purpose was to figure this out.

"Yes and no, what is important to you?" asked Chen Hai plausibly.

"Since you don't want to say it, then I won't ask, you remember that you owe me a bad favor. Ning Chan'er seemed to just confirm whether the blood-colored sky that day that the soul consciousness fell into was an illusion or a real existence, so she stood up, smiled, patted her skirt and ran out of Chen Hai's tent and left.

If Dong Ning and Ran Hu didn't want to withdraw to Tieliuling, what Chen Hai could think of for them at this time was to rush to Yequ Mountain, according to Little Rock City, to stand by for help, but this can't be regarded as a good strategy, there are people in the Xiqiang Kingdom who have ill intentions, not to mention, the horse thieves who gather in Songyang Lake are indeed too strong.

Although Chen Hai had not yet had the opportunity to meet directly with the other horse thief leaders, listening to Han Wendang and other horse thief leaders, it was not difficult for him to figure out that among the horse thieves who gathered in Songyang Lake this time, there were more than twenty powerhouses of the Ming Realm Realm, and Kong Peng, the great leader of the Black Mountain Kou, was also the great commander of the Black Mountain Coalition this time, claiming to be the Black Mountain Martial Honor, and he even had the cultivation of the early stage of the Dao Dan Realm.

Legend has it that Kong Peng served as the captain of the Northern Army in the Xiqiang State in his early years, and at that time he had the cultivation of the half-step Daodan, and he was one of the few strong people in the Xiqiang State, and he was among the top ten people in the Xiqiang Army, but in his early years, he committed the crime of exterminating the clan, and he did not allow the Ye clan of the royal family, and fled into the depths of the vast desert with his descendants, but hundreds of people in his clan were brutally punished.

Kong Peng led his descendants to disappear for a few years, and when he returned to occupy Montenegro near the Xiqiang Kingdom, he pulled out a team of horse thieves with nearly 2,000 men and horses.

In recent years, Kong Peng has successively incorporated horse thieves near Montenegro, calling himself Montenegrin Kou, and the number of men and horses has grown to as many as four or five thousand, becoming the largest horse thief force near the Xiqiang State and the greatest threat to the Xiqiang State.

Although the Xiqiang army claims to have 100,000 soldiers, there are too many aspects that need to be taken care of, and there is nothing to do about the Black Mountain Kou next to the bed.

In addition to Kong Peng, his personal strength is by no means below Ning Chan'er and him, there are also six Ming Realm powerhouses under his command, and this time there are four people who lead three thousand horse thieves to follow him into the Xixia Corridor, in fact, with just one horse thief in Montenegro, it is possible to eat the escort team in Hexi to the point that there are no bones left.

Chen Hai secretly had a headache, the gang of horse thieves who he and Ning Chan'er secretly controlled Yequ Mountain were still too weak, even if Fan Dachun and them cooperated honestly, if they just followed the waves, it would be difficult to make any big achievements.

Chen Hai also had no intention of cultivating at this time, and put the Xuanfetal Iron Bow, Armor-Piercing Arrow and other items into the storage ring, and was about to sneak out to find out if Fan Dachun and the others had any changes-Ning Chan'er, the demon girl, was very casual, and she might leave this mess and fly away at any time, and he was in the depths of the vast desert, and he could only use this little manpower, and he couldn't bear too many accidents.

When Chen Hai walked out of the tent, he faintly heard more than a dozen fast horses, "ticking" galloping into his field of vision from the depths of the night.

Galloping into Songyang Lake at night were the elite sentinels sent out by the horse thieves, and a few huge green-scaled eagles soaring in the night sky, returning to the camp with these dozens of sentinels.

The blue-scaled eagle and the black-feathered vulture are both demon birds that are special to the Golden State desert, and the green-scaled thunder eagle beside Chen Lie is a very special species among the green-scaled eagles.

Although the ordinary blue-scaled eagle is not as powerful as imagined, it is also infinitely powerful and fast, and its sharp claws like iron can easily grab an adult sand wolf in the air and tear it in half.

The Qianghu people domesticated the green scale eagle, which was used for vigilance and reconnaissance and tracking the fleeing enemy, which was extremely convenient.

It's a pity that although the green scale eagle is not uncommon in the depths of the desert, it is not easy to domesticate it, Fan Dachun has been entrenched in Yequ Mountain for many years, but he has not been able to domesticate a demon bird like the green scale eagle for his own use, and only a big force like the Hexi Dong clan can have enough patience and resources to domesticate the demon bird in batches for his own use.

Chen Hai stood there and saw more than a dozen horsemen with a few blue-scaled eagles galloping directly into the main camp where the Black Mountain Kou was located, and soon saw the main camp where the Black Mountain Kou was located, and sent people to the camp where the horse thieves were located on the two roads of Guhu Mountain and Moyue Lake, and asked the principal to go over to discuss the matter.

Fan Dachun also noticed that the dozen outposts sent out galloped back late at night, walked out of the camp tent, and hesitated whether to go directly to the Black Mountain Kou camp to inquire about the movement.

Soon, several people from the main camp where the Black Mountain Kou was located galloped out of the camp and sent messages to the camp where the other horse thieves were stationed.

One of them galloped straight to them, stopped at the outskirts of the camp, saw Fan Dachun, took out a black iron plate from his arms, and said: "The Hexi chariot and horse team, after retreating to the Crescent Lake, did not stop, but turned to the north, and went directly to the old nest of Fan Dang's family, Yequ Mountain, it seems that he realized that the defense of Yequ Mountain was empty, and intended to take Yequ Mountain to defend it. Kong Dangjia wants the soldiers and horses of Yequ Mountain to get ready immediately, and we have to rush to Yequ Mountain overnight, I hope that the soldiers and horses you left in Yequ Mountain can support you for a day or two......"

The iron plate shown by the visitor is exactly the same as the iron plate shown by Hu Bihan in Yequ Mountain, which is engraved with the pattern of the eagle's head and body, and it is Kong Peng's special letter token for the Black Mountain Kou - the eagle head figure engraved on this iron plate is said to be a big demon who occupied the Black Mountain in ancient times and cultivated to the realm of transformation.

Seeing that the person who came took the eagle demon token into his arms and galloped to the next horse thief camp, Chen Hai frowned slightly, Hu Bilie's eagle demon token was in his arms, and it might be able to play some role.
