Outside the plug, in the Gobi Desert, snow particles and sand particles blow on people's faces.

Three thousand fierce grassland iron horsemen stood in several rows under the Yumen Pass.

The heavy gates slowly opened, Batu and Toya rode on their horses, and Suhelek's luxurious carriage appeared in the gate cave under the escort of three hundred soldiers. "Ulla!" Cheers erupted.

In front of the iron cavalry, Batu raised the sword in his hand and raised his arms, and the cheers stopped abruptly. He turned his horse's head, smiled and said to Si Hong Bowen, who was also riding on the horse: "Welcome to the grassland!" ”

Yumen Pass is the last checkpoint on the border between Qi and the grassland tribes. Across the 100-mile Gobi Desert, there is an endless vast grassland.

Out of Yumen Pass is out of the territory of Qi State, Si Hong Bowen, as an envoy to Qin, can only bring 300 soldiers into the grassland.

On this sandy Gobi Desert, a few months ago, the Zhenyuan Army and the Grassland Iron Cavalry had just engaged in a bloody battle, 8,000 soldiers spilled blood on the battlefield, and the Grassland Iron Cavalry suffered countless casualties.

The commander of the Zhenyuan army drove straight in, forcing Suhelek to raise the white flag and bow down.

Si Hong Bowen narrowed his eyes and bowed his head slightly, took the liquor handed over by Gumen and raised it to his forehead, and poured it down to pay tribute to the heroic souls of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.

"Smack!" The bowl shattered on the floor. Si Hong Bowen's legs tightened, the ink under his crotch hissed, and raised his front hooves to dig up the sand and gravel, "Let's go!" ”

The Gobi Desert, which seems to have no signs of life, is actually full of dangers, and even experienced grassland hunters dare not venture lightly.

Late winter and early spring are the hungriest times for Gobi coyotes. endured a whole winter. They are ferocious and cunning in ambush hunts, not sparing any prey that comes into view.

Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the Great Khan, Batu transferred three thousand iron cavalry guards. Even if you're unlucky, you can get through a pack of hundreds of wolves.

The group marched very quickly under the escort of the Iron Cavalry, and by the time it was dark, it was already close to the edge of the Gobi Desert. They were to camp here for the most dangerous night, and the next day they would climb over the snow-capped mountains between the Gobi and the steppe.

Crossing the snowy mountains is the grassland, which is the territory of the grassland wolf, and the nomadic tribe of the grassland has many cattle and sheep, and the blue wolf rarely attacks humans. Therefore, it is much safer than the Gobi.

Under the stars. The bonfire was lit, and the firelight illuminated Si Hong Bowen's cold and resolute face red, and the sword shadow grilled the two game hunted in the afternoon on the fire, and the aroma was overflowing.

"Childe. Serve hot. Lone Gate held up the charred rabbit leg and handed it to him.

"What are you guys doing! Don't bury the food yet! Toya strode over. Fly up and kick the grill apart.

The sword shadow jumped to his feet. Drawing the long sword from his waist, "Hey! You've gone too far! ”

"You don't want to die! Want to lure coyotes in? Toya gave him a blank look and said angrily.

"Little coyotes are so afraid!" Sword Shadow scoffed. It's not like he hasn't seen coyotes before, and he can deal with seven or eight by himself.

"It's easy to say!" Toya was slightly angry, "If you attract a pack of coyotes, don't even think about sleeping tonight!" ”

"Sword Shadow, do as the county lord says." Si Hong Bowen said in a deep voice, "I have to climb over the snowy mountains tomorrow, so I must keep my body." ”

Jian Ying and Gumen glanced at each other, and Zhiqiu urged beside him: "Childe speaks, why don't you go quickly?" ”

The two of them ducked to the side and began to dig a pit.

Toya pursed her lips and looked at Si Hong Bowen's side face, her heart jumped like a rabbit. She hesitated and sat down beside him.

"General, can I sit here for a while?"

Si Hongbowen's face was expressionless. Sit down, what else do you ask!

Toya picked up the flute, took a deep breath, and blew it. The flute was borrowed from Batu, and she wanted to go outside the tent alone to breathe, but unexpectedly, she saw Si Hong Bowen's men barbecuing from a distance, and hurriedly came over to stop it.

The melodious sound of the flute brought out the faint melancholy and lingering longing in Toya's heart. And Si Hong's blog sounded, but Xia Qingyun's low eyes and shallow smile appeared in front of him.

His chest heaved and he let out a long breath. Tuoya stopped and asked, "Is the general missing the Taiping County Lord?" ”

Si Hong Bowen glanced at her and did not answer. Of course he knew Toya's heart, but his heart was already occupied by that beautiful girl, and no one could enter his heart except her.

Toya sat silently for a while, stood up and stopped talking, but finally bit her lip and left with tears in her eyes.

The footsteps were far away, and Si Hongbowen looked back to see that Toya's figure had disappeared into the night. He said sorry in his heart, and got up and went back to the tent.

The night before dawn is the darkest time of the day. Si Hong Bowen, who was asleep, was awakened by the hissing sound of Mo Qi.

"Wolves! It's a pack of coyotes! Get on your horse and guard the Great Khan! The neighing of the horses mingled with the sound of shouting.

The lonely door rushed into the tent, and when he saw that Si Hong Bowen had already gotten up, he hurriedly said, "Son, be careful!" Then he turned and ran out with his knife in hand.

Si Hong Bowen untied the reins of Mo Qi and turned over on his horse, raising his eyes to look around, there were layers of green wolf eyes around the camp, and more than a dozen of them had already rushed in and fought with his own black armor army. In the distance, the steppe riders were also holding torches to drive away the wolves.

With 3,000 guards, Toya and they must be fine. Somehow, Si Hong Bowen's first thought was the safety of the county lord of Toya.

He didn't pay attention to his thoughts, took off his spear and charged at the wolves.

Until dawn broke and wolf corpses were everywhere between the tents, the remaining coyotes scattered with their tails between their legs when they saw that the situation was not good.

Si Hong Bowen hurriedly asked Zhiqiu to count the number of people, and only a few soldiers were slightly injured and were fine, so he was relieved. Fortunately, Toya advised in time last night, otherwise it would have been a hassle to attract more coyotes and deal with them.

Toya also rode over at this time, and seeing that Si Hongbowen was safe and sound, she looked at him from a distance a few times and turned around and left without saying hello.

Coyote carcasses don't need to be buried, and in less than a day and a half, more wolves will come to have a full meal smelling blood.

Si Hong Bowen ordered the soldiers to wear more cold-resistant leather robes, and the war horses were hung with horseshoes all year round, so they didn't have to worry about slipping, and only wrapped a layer of non-slip iron chains around the wheels of the carriage.

He looked up at the sky, hoping for a good day. The snowy mountain is towering into the clouds, and it doesn't matter if you go down the mountain, but when you reach the mountainside, there will often be sudden changes in the wind and clouds, and the last time the Zhenyuan army encountered a snowstorm and was almost trapped on the mountain.

Beginning to go up the mountain, Toya came to Sihong Bowen with a team of iron horses,

"The snow on the snowy mountains does not disappear all year round, you are not familiar with the terrain, follow closely and don't fall behind." Toya said as she led the team to the back.

"You, come back!" Sihong Bowen opened his mouth and shouted, and Toya stiffened on the horse and grabbed the reins.

Joke, he is a dignified general, how can he let a woman protect him?

"Dark Moon, Sword Shadow, you bring a hundred black armor military pads." His tone was unmistakable.

"Subordinates obey!"

Toya showed a hint of joy on her face, he still cared about himself after all. (To be continued......)
