Chapter 289: Hunting in the Snow

Seeing him describe it like this, Feng Ling's heart was settled, he stabilized his wrist, buckled the silver chain around his neck again, stuffed it back into his collar, straightened the messy collar with his hand, and stood up from the ground with his waist and abdomen: "Since the holy relic is here, and you also recognize it, this tent will not allow you to come and go at will." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

He Lu hesitated, spread his arms dejectedly, and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he taught Feng Ling to interrupt.

"Don't go out quickly, don't come in again." The wind spirit whispered in a deep voice.

"Very good...... Very good......" He Lu nodded angrily, clearly feeling that he had been deceived in this transaction, but there was nothing he could do, he shook his head and strode out.

The strength of Feng Ling's body was instantly drained, his legs became weak, and he hurriedly sat down on the table. She couldn't help but take the wolf tooth from the collar and take a closer look, in the past, the Micha gave it cheerfully and casually, she only regarded it as an ordinary ornament, although Mitsu told the Turks to respect, wearing this thing on the trade road can not be infringed by the Turkic strongman, but she only regarded it as a peaceful and auspicious ordinary protection thing, not very serious, never used once, never expected that it really had such a function, even Helu can be lowered.

She carefully tucked the silver chain back to her chest, secretly glad that she had worn it on a whim when she was leaving, a life-saving artifact.

Although he was protected by this wolf tooth holy relic, the wind spirit knew that Helu was cunning and impermanent, and he was in the mud in the end, so he couldn't be completely assured, so he called Dafu to guard in front of the tent, and he could barely sleep.

The spirit of the wind had been in the court of Heru for four days, and Heru did not force her to be detained in the tent, and there was not even a guard outside the tent, and she did not want anyone to take care of her, so he removed the slave girls who served in her tent.

It's not that Heru doesn't care if she escapes, in fact, she has nowhere to escape, the winter outside the territory is not stubborn, and now another snowstorm has been brewing for two or three days, and it is approaching in a blink of an eye. Mo said that she was pregnant until July, and even at this time, she could jump around alive, and it was difficult to walk out of this strange realm alone, buried in the cold, buried in the mouth of wolves and beasts, buried in hunger, thirst and poverty...... If she ran out like this, there were twenty easily foreseeable ways of death waiting for her.

Early in the morning, the dawn seemed to be unusually slow, and the embers in the fire pit in the tent were no longer enough to warm the felt tent, and the wind spirit was suddenly awakened in her sleep, and the big hair on her body slipped to the ground at some point, but fortunately, the mattress on the couch held most of her body temperature.

There was a sudden disgruntled kick in her belly, as if protesting against the cold outside. The wind spirit picked up the big hair that fell to the ground and wrapped it around his shoulders, and the small fist in his abdomen was still waving from time to time, as if a naughty child was testing the bottom of his mother's patience. Feng Ling stroked his belly and remembered for no reason that Fu Tanyan had concluded that this baby must be a female baby, according to him, that intermittent temperament is like him, calm and calm, and this little Mo Ha, who refuses to settle in the mother's womb, is exactly the same as her, so it must also be a female baby.

A thin smile spread on her face, and she whispered softly to herself in her belly: "Little Mohe, I don't know when you Aye and they will be able to attack ** Mukun, if the days drag on for a long time, when the tender grass rises on the grassland, I'm afraid you should be born......"

Outside the tent, Dafu barked a few times, and Helu's rough laughter was near. The wind spirit wrapped his hair tightly, and subconsciously covered the wolf teeth hanging on his chest.

The rich man barked and screamed, and the rude Turkic words were invective, and there were no less than ten people to say it. Dafu let out a miserable "woo", and the blasting rod roared like a fire, and the chain "boomed".

Feng Ling lifted the curtain of the door, stood in front of the door, raised his hand, and flashed like a whip snake, hitting the wrist of a Turkic general. Na Lang took a fist-sized stone in his hand, and was about to smash it towards Dafu with a curse in his mouth, but Jiao Fengling shook his wrist with a whip, and when he turned his hand, the stone fell to the ground, but hit his own foot.

Several other generals around him, including the leader of the group, Helu, burst out laughing mercilessly. Irrimented, he leaned over and picked up the stones, baring his teeth at the great rich.

Feng Ling carried a horsewhip, stood up in front of Dafu, and shouted angrily: "The son of Helu is so majestic, do you want to fight with an old dog?" How about a fight with my two-body woman? ”

Na Lang will have a dark skin on his original face, teach the wind and spirit to be sarcastic, red and purple in the darkness, grinning his teeth, and cursing constantly. His gaze suddenly fell on the wolf's fangs on the wind spirit's chest, and he was stunned, and whispered uncertainly and quickly asked Helu a few words.

He Lu only nodded briefly, and Na Lang turned his head against the shape of the square, bowed down and put the stone back into the ground, and then pressed his fist on his shoulder to salute the wind spirit, and left without raising his head.

Feng Ling immediately realized how effective the wolf tooth on her chest was, but Helu was only ten steps on the other side, and the situation when he left with anger a few days ago was still vivid, and she didn't know what tricks she was going to make with these people today, and she didn't dare to let go of her hand holding the horsewhip.

"Heavy snow came down last night." He Lu stood in place, as if he had no intention of coming, "When the snow stops, the snow fox likes the cover of the snow all over the ground the most, and chooses this time of year to come out to feed." Wait, I'll fight two snow foxes with you, so that we can make a pair of wool boots to keep out the cold. ”

Feng Ling stiffly bent his knees at him: "Don't dare to work General Helu." ”

"Shabala Khan." Lang, who was with him at Heru's side, raised his voice to correct her.

The wind spirit ignored it, and Helu didn't care, and slowly leaned forward, pointed to the horsewhip in the wind spirit's hand, and said with a smile: "Let's only talk, not move." ”

"Please stop, General." The Wind Spirit reached out and restrained his approach.

He Lu also obeyed, and sure enough, he stopped, five or six steps away, and showed a look of concern: "This snow is not over yet, maybe there will be a heavy snowstorm at night, if you want to escape from this place, you should also pick a good day, and you must not take such a big risk as seven or eight years ago." ”

The wind spirit pursed his lips and said nothing, only staring at him coldly.

He Lu rubbed the beard on his face, and suddenly changed his words and said, "Kang Dazhi's ...... Do you still hold a grudge? If I tell you that when Liu Shuang borrowed troops from me, he only said that he wanted to block the entrance of Suo Shen, and did not mention Kang Dazhi at all, I don't know the inside story, can you trust me? ”

Feng Ling's gaze slowly turned around his face: "Believe it or not, what does it matter now?" I have been dead for ten years, and I believe you, can you teach my righteous brother to come back to life? ”

"Wind Spirit ......" He Lu unexpectedly put away his hippie smile: "Believe it or not, it's all up to you, let's not care about this, but there is one thing you should always know, the business road has not been easy to go through these years, and Gu Fang's caravan has gone wrong on the boundary of Western Xinjiang?" Aren't you really Gu Fang's troops brave and invincible? ”

This time, the wind spirit laughed out loud, as if he had heard something very funny, and the laughter made Heru uncomfortable. "In this way, the wind spirit should thank the general for taking care of it. But Feng Ling's heart is for the merchants of the entire western Xinjiang, whether it is the Tang people, the Sogdians, or the foreign Hu merchants, why not ask the general to take care of them and return to the Doros River, never disturb each other, what is it? ”

He Lu lowered his head and rubbed the snow under his feet, and after a long time, when he looked up again, his expression became solemn: "How is Gaochang, how is Yanqi, how is Qiuzi, which one dares to resist Tang?" What about obedience to Datang? Isn't it the saints who taught you the Tang Dynasty one after another to sweep away the homeland? Even if I retreat to the Doros River, take my people to divide the nomadic herding with my people, and pay tribute at the end of the year, will the Tang Dynasty be willing to divide the land with me and let us live by grazing freely? Sooner or later, the Tang army will flatten the Doros River. Fu Tanyan is the long knife of the Tang Dynasty pointing to the Western Regions, how many small tribes he has leveled in the Western Frontier, and now it has finally reached me. Rather than waiting for the land to be taken away and the people to be humiliated, it is better to fight. ”

"The internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty are unstable, and they don't want to war, so they will send you to peace, and now the saint in Chang'an City is stable, and the soldiers are strong and strong, so he will send troops. You and Fu Tanyan are just chess pieces on the sand table of the Tang Emperor, you are so smart, why can't you see through it? Willing to be reduced to Li's household goods? ”

He had secretly asked himself several times when he said this, and every time he thought of it, his heart was somewhat unhappy. In the past, she pushed the original sin of the matter of harmony to the Liu family's party dispute, but in the end, Li Zhi did take her to block the external trouble in the face of internal troubles, and her blood relatives were already fragile in front of the imperial power, so she was afraid that when Taizong was there, she would fall into such a situation, and she would not refuse He Lu's courtship.

Feng Ling bit his lower lip and didn't make a sound, and his heart was cold: Even if he has been guarding the western frontier for many years, sweeping away countless bandit tribes, and returning to Beijing, he will not be able to escape the punishment of the crime of bullying the king, and the Spring and Autumn pen does not know how unbearable he will be. The sincerity and loyalty of the martyrs are all in vain.

He Lu suddenly smiled, and the unserious smile returned to his face, and raised his hand towards Feng Ling: "It's cold outside, go back to the tent, and wait for me to bring you back with the snow fox." ”

After that, he turned around and whistled a few times, and a few war horses came by stepping on the snow, and Helu turned over his horse, laughed loudly and beckoned the men to hunt him, and the horses' hooves kicked up the snow in the ground, raising a cloud of snow mist.

The Wind Spirit looked up at the still gloomy and low-pressure sky for a moment, perhaps there would be a blizzard during the night. She naturally didn't believe that in such bad weather, Helu also led people to hunt, in order to make wool boots for her pair of snow foxes, the truth is probably about to run out, it is difficult to maintain a fierce battle.

She rubbed Dafu's hairy head, calmed it down, and walked back into the tent with a long sigh. She was full of hope that the Tang army would attack Mukun as soon as possible, but judging from this weather situation, braving the blizzard to send troops was tantamount to breaking a sword halberd, and she would have to be patient and wait for a while. That's it, she is most afraid that if the Tang army also faces the danger of lack of food and grass, and finally withdraws its troops, what should it be.
