Chapter 372: Farewell to the Border Pass (Part II)
Dong Rong smiled and didn't say anything about Chenxi.
Chenxi made a grimace at Brother Ming'er, and then walked in front of Bai Yi with one of them and raised his head and said, "Bai Yi, this is yours, because I don't know what pastries you like to eat, I recommended my mother to make my favorite potpourri cake, which is not very sweet and fragrant." ”
Bai Yi looked down at the light in Chenxi's eyes, knowing that this was indeed what she liked to eat, so she smiled and said, "Then keep it for Chenxi to eat." ”
Dawn's eyes widened, looking at Bai Yi in disbelief. Her hands froze in mid-air, unsure of what she was going to do next.
Everyone present calmed down, Dong Rong and Murong Huaide also looked at the white clothes, and Brother Qi'er and Brother Ming'er both looked unkind, not to mention the four masters and apprentices over there.
Bai Yi, who was originally trying to shrink his sense of existence, suddenly attracted the attention of so many people, coupled with Chenxi's unbelievable eyes, he seemed to have done something heinous.
Dong Rong stepped forward to grab Chenxi and took over this embarrassment for her, Bai Yi didn't dare to sit on the horse when she saw Dong Rong's calm face, and immediately turned over and dismounted a little unclear.
Dong Rong said with a smile: "It's me who is abrupt, maybe Baiyi doesn't like to eat pastries, let's not make it difficult for others." ”
Bai Yi felt that something was wrong, took a deep breath and explained a little confused: "No, no, I heard Chenxi say that this is a pastry she likes to eat, so I want to keep it for her, after all, I can eat anything to fill my stomach and have no high requirements......"
Hey. He said this and felt that something was wrong, his face was still serious and there was no other expression, but his ears were quietly dyed red, no one else noticed him except Chenxi, the dissatisfaction in Chenxi's heart disappeared in an instant, if it wasn't for so many people present, the timing was not right, she really wanted to tease Baiyi.
Hearing him say this, everyone's eyes were not so sharp, Bai Yi was half relieved in his heart, and the remaining half breath was waiting for Chenxi to make a statement, if he made Chenxi angry because of this, he would really feel guilty.
Chenxi thought that she knew some of Bai Yi better, and she saw the anxiety in Bai Yi's eyes, but she was not in a hurry to make a statement. Dong Rong thought that her baby daughter was still depressed, because she should not have been rejected like this since she was born, at least not under her nose. This is the first time......
She didn't mean to look at Bai Yi, it was because she couldn't express it, she said with a smile, her eyes were a little sincere, and she hugged Chenxi and said, "Look, Bai Yi thinks that he is older than you, so he wants to leave you what you like to eat." ”
Chenxi raised her chin, she couldn't see where she was proud, she just said with a straight face: "I don't like it, just accept it, stay by my mother's side every day, I can eat what I want, you can't eat it outside, I'll take it quickly, otherwise I'll give it to my senior brothers!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Bai Yi had already taken the brocade box in her hand, "Well, I'm sorry, what you said makes sense, thank you Chenxi and thank you princess." ”
Chenxi snorted lightly, looked Bai Yi up and down, and saw that he was sincerely smiling at her.
Instead, he happily ran to Master Miao's side and sent the brocade boxes one by one, "Senior brother, a little pastry but it's delicious, I ate too much dry food on the way and ate a few pieces of this, and I immediately felt even more hungry." ”
The fat man happily thanked him, and muttered in his heart, shouldn't it be said that the effect of being full immediately is better...... But if there is something to eat, it is too late for him to be happy.
Chenxi turned around and saw Bai Yi putting the brocade box into the bag very seriously, his heart was balanced, and he ran to Brother Ming'er and pitifully pulled his trouser leg and said, "Second brother, you must come back quickly......"
"Got it, you have to be obedient by your father's side." Brother Ming'er leaned over and touched Chenxi's head, and said with a gentle smile, this is already the most gentle expression when Brother Ming'er is not messing around.
Master Miao looked at the sky and didn't want to delay any longer, and said, "Let's go, Master take care, there is General Lao Wangye, our master will trouble you." ”
Brother Ming'er also turned his horse's head and turned to say goodbye to his family.
The reins were beaten, and the horse's hooves sounded. The figures of the five men rushed forward, gradually leaving their sight.
Bai Yi didn't look back, just followed behind Brother Ming'er, and in front of him was Senior Brother Miao leading the way.
When they left the border city, Master Miao had already asked for a map to see, and the route to the Batu military camp had already appeared in his mind.
Because Bai Yi was not sure whether Dongfang Qiu had entered the city or not, he heard Murong Huaide say that these three masters were superb, so he didn't propose anything, and only followed the back carefully to pay attention to the surrounding markers.
He was not familiar with the grassland, so there was nothing he could do to help, so he could only try to find the way.
Master Miao's actions were very fast, and the selected horses were all good horses, and in the afternoon, they arrived at the Batu military camp, where there were only some broken tents and broken pillars left, and there were many unresolved corpses, which looked very bloody.
Because of the cold wind, Brother Ming'er and the others hurried with their faces covered. At the front are the thin man and the fat man, Master Miao and Brother Ming'er are in the middle, and the white clothes are still at the end.
As soon as they arrived outside the barracks, they were stopped by the thin man and the fat man, and Master Miao directly sealed his acupoint, his sense of smell was sensitive, how could he stand this stimulating smell.
Brother Ming'er only showed a pair of eyes, and he was startled when he looked at it from a distance, at that time, at the entrance of the barracks was the battlefield where they were fighting, and now in that place, there were dozens of wild wolves standing or lying.
It was probably a wolf pack, and the wolves of the steppe all acted together.
There were only five of them, and it was a lot of trouble for the last wolf pack.
The fat man's sharp eyes immediately saw something strange, and he said to the thin man, "There is something wrong with these wolves. ”
"Won't move? Spotted or hunting something? Brother Ming'er said suspiciously and innocently.
Bai Yi was silent, and after a breath, no one answered Brother Ming'er's words, and he said: "This shouldn't be, for the time being, no one has the ability to study the wolf's acupuncture points and point so many wolves here." Second, it's a place where the eyes can see, and there's nothing worth hunting collectively for a pack of wolves. ”
Brother Ming'er didn't feel embarrassed when he heard this, he directly bowed his head and continued to stare at those wolves, when he didn't know what was going on, of course they wouldn't rush forward.
Master Miao couldn't see it when he was far away, he only knew that there was something wrong, and said in white clothes: "I'll go forward to investigate, everyone wait here for a while." ”
Master Miao frowned slightly, he could see that this white clothes were different from Brother Ming'er, but he was only one or two years older than Brother Ming'er, so how could he rest assured that he would go to investigate alone.
The thin man was optimistic about this young man who didn't talk much, and said, "I'll go with you, go." ”
Bai Yi rode next to the thin man and followed the thin man forward, Bai Yi didn't know about the Gu worm, and the thin man walked in front and was more cautious.
When they approached, they realized that the wolves really didn't react at all.
Bai Yi frowned, and poked the wolves with his sword, but there was no reaction at all. He looked at the thin man and asked silently.
The thin man looked at it for a moment, and immediately beckoned Master Miao and the others: "There is a situation!" ”
Master Miao and the fat man immediately stepped forward, and so did Brother Ming'er.
The thin man stared at the appearance of these wolves and said, "These wolves seem to have been tricked. ”
When the fat man heard this, "Who is full of food and supports these wolves, could it be that these wolves have eaten one of his legs?" ”
"They must have eaten the corpses of these soldiers." Master Miao guessed something in a flash of thought. Then he walked over to the surrounding corpses and crouched down to check, and sure enough, it was.
Brother Ming'er didn't expect that some of the corpses left behind would cause these harms, and they burned all these corpses at that time, but there was no guarantee that there would be no escapes.
Bai Yi just listened quietly to their analysis.
Master Miao stood up and said, "These soldiers are controlled by others, and the physical strength of the Gu also has the ability to parasitize, so these wolves will not move without the Gu people giving them orders, we have to burn all these things." ”
Brother Ming'er's eyes tightened, "Master, how do they parasitize, is it that they will become infected when they touch blood?" "That's going to be a problem!
Master Miao walked up to Brother Ming'er from outside and said, "That's not the case, they ate pieces of meat. ”
Brother Ming'er was a little relieved, he thought that no normal person would eat the meat of the corpse.
The fat man was still counting how many wolves were standing in this range, and was pushed by the thin man, "Count what to do, hurry up and find out if there are any clues, those people are looking for us everywhere to make trouble." ”
Master Miao was already squatting in front of one of the stronger wolves, staring at the wolf's eyes that had dimmed, and he didn't know what he took out from his arms and spared it twice under the wolf's nose. Then he got up and said to them, "Just leave this wolf behind, and burn the rest." ”
The fat man thought of this question and asked, "Senior brother, you won't be controlling this wolf to track down those people for us, right?" ”
"That's true."
Brother Ming'er touched his nose and said, "Master, if we want to enter the city...... Isn't it a bit eye-catching to carry this big wolf? ”
"Ming'er has a point." The fat man chimed in. "The people of the Central Plains seem to be very afraid of these wolves, and this one is so big, I'm afraid that the city guards won't let us in, so we can't sneak into the city with this wolf on our backs."
Master Miao was stunned for a few seconds, and then looked at the wolf, and said with a rare look of regret: "Then, change the head to the small one." ”
Brother Ming'er clearly saw the reluctance in his master's eyes, and quietly asked the fat man: "Uncle Shi, is the medicine that the master used to control that wolf just now very precious?" ”
The fat man's nostrils turned to the sky, and he glanced at Master Miao and asked in a low voice: "No, although these potions are more difficult to refine, they won't be distressed when they get it so much, do you know what kind of living thing your master likes the most?" ”
Brother Ming'er seemed to have guessed something, but in order to get confirmation from the fat man's mouth, he shook his head.
"Hey, you don't care too much about your master, your master's favorite is a wolf!"
Brother Ming'er looked at the fat man's sigh, and sure enough, the conjecture in his heart was right, but ...... Didn't his master stay calm when he first saw that something had happened to this wolf pack? There was no distressed look at all. It's a pity that only the wolf that smelled the medicine was exposed.
So Brother Ming'er glanced at the fat man and helped the thin man and the white clothes to get something that could be ignited.
Whether the master likes wolves or not, he will find out if he finds a chance another day, and he really can't trust the fat man like that.
The fat man who was inexplicably ignored: "......"
It wasn't until the thin man summoned him to help that he set out to help, Ming'er became more and more like his junior brother, always giving people inexplicable eyes and then walking away without saying a word.
