Chapter Ninety-Three: A Terrible Sandstorm
The golden eagles raised in this clan are not really so capable and captured alive. But this golden eagle was injured somehow and fell on its own, cheapening this tribe and becoming the only tribe that could raise golden eagles.
Raise it, they can't raise it well. That's when there was a problem. Like now it's just shouting in the middle of the night! They don't know what's wrong, and they don't know how to stop it. The patriarch shouted and scolded, and the dog's leg made a suggestion: Then just kill the golden eagle! The patriarch kicked him in a somersault: I'm not confused! You lost your head? The only tribe in the steppe that raises golden eagles! How glorious? Say kill or kill?
Someone else next to him suggested: Yes, yes, the golden eagle is a god! The shouting in the middle of the night may be a warning to the owner. We need to be vigilant and vigilant.
The patriarch also kicked him in a heel fight: the more he talked, the more crow's mouth beaked! What warnings? Don't be!
When the golden eagle was finished, the patriarch went back to the tent in a huff, thinking that he would never sleep again, but he was really relieved - he fell asleep again - well, in his dreams he could not be comforted. But he was at peace with his body and mind.
Speaking of why this golden eagle has night terrors, it is actually that human ears can't hear it. There was a high-frequency whistling sound in the clouds, which was the call of the golden eagle's companions. The trapped golden eagle roared violently, complaining to his companions.
The companion in the cloud was obviously calm, and after listening to it, he did not answer for the time being. The trapped golden eagle made a fuss, and that's it.
The patriarch was already asleep, and everyone was asleep. In the silence, the dogleg whispered in front of the door of the Zhang Immortal's tent: "Living Immortal? Living immortals? ”
Zhang Shenxian didn't answer, but snored.
The dogleg came in by himself. I stood there rubbing my hands, still not knowing what to say.
Zhang Shenxian muttered: "If you want to say a confidant, it's difficult, it's difficult!" ”
The dog's legs were happy: "Living immortals, where didn't you sleep?" ”
Zhang Shenxian said again: "Heavenly machine wants to tell people, it's even more difficult, it's difficult!" It's better to talk in your dreams! ”
The dogleg understood a little: "Living immortals, you are dreaming." You didn't deliberately leak the secret to me. Our patriarch he...... Actually, you're going to die, right? ”
Zhang Shenxian said: "I can give you a free hexagram." ”
The dog leg hurriedly stepped forward.
Zhang Shenxian closed his eyes and said, "The patriarch is a night detective, how dare I be." ”
The dog leg was startled at first, and thought that the patriarch was coming, so he jumped up and looked back, but there was no one. There was no one on all sides. Suddenly he understood: Zhang Shenxian was talking about him!
He'll be the patriarch!
He bowed deeply to Zhang Shenxian: "Thank you Living Immortal." I know how to do it! ”
The tent of the patriarch that day. There is the sound of axes and candles.
After that night had passed, the patriarch did not see the light of the next day. He never got out of bed again. When people went to see him, he was dead.
But he wasn't hacked to death. He had no visible external injuries. He had a suicide note in his hand. It is to pass on the position of patriarch to the dogleg.
Doglegs already carry people. Surround the tent and keep all the people in control. The handwriting of the suicide note, the cause of the patriarch's death. It was never pursued again. The dogleg is in place.
After the dogleg usurped the throne, he faced a big problem, which was the pursuit of the Great Khan.
The allegiance of the steppe tribes to the Khan. Not as particular as the Central Plains people. But officials in the Central Plains can flatter the emperor in person, turn around and dig the corners of the Great Mausoleum with corruption and bribery, without guilt. And the tribes of the steppe owe allegiance to the Khan, that is, real allegiance. The Khan was also very attentive to them.
Such a tribe has changed when it says it has changed, can the Great Khan act as if nothing happened?
Dogleg is deeply concerned about this.
Thankfully, it was cold. Communication on the grasslands is basically by roaring, and communication is basically by legs - whether it is a man's leg or a horse's leg, when it is too cold, it is not neat enough.
Dogleg worked hard to block the news again, and it is estimated that the time for the Great Khan to know about it will be delayed even more.
Zhang Shenxian threw a beautiful olive branch to him at this time-
If you want to fight the Great Khan, what better way to do it than to find a strong backing?
Does General Kangping, who is currently guarding the border passes, look reliable?
Dogleg means really good.
Zhang Shenxian asked him again, would he like to form an alliance?
Dogleg thought about it and said very ripplingly. But he was a little worried that people would play with him, not sincerely. Zhang Shenxian took something to him.
At first glance, the dog's legs look like they were carved out of wood...... What is it?
I can't recognize it after turning it over and over again! It felt like a fragment.
"Tiger Talisman." Zhang Shenxian whispered.
Only then did the dog leg realize that the part he was holding in his hand was a tiger claw, which frightened him so much that he almost threw the tiger claw out, and quickly grabbed it firmly.
Even he knew how important the Tiger Talisman was. That's the king's proof of mobilizing his army!
The emperor wanted to mobilize the army, but he couldn't leave the capital by himself to say, at that time, there was no encrypted telegram, mobile phone text message or anything, so he had to send a messenger, how could the army at the border believe that the messenger who came to speak was really sent by the emperor, not a fake? That's where the Tiger Talisman comes in.
Carve a tiger out of wood, cut it in half, keep half of it for the emperor, and take half of it when the general goes out to lead the troops. The messenger brought the tiger talisman from the emperor, and the general closed it with half of his hand and compared it - well, the pattern is right! Then it will be verified that it is the correct body sent by the emperor.
Such an important tiger talisman, Xie Yunjian gave it to the dog's leg. Once the dogleg wants to fix him and take this tiger talisman fragment to the Central Plains to tell Xie Yunjian about his condition, then Xie Yunjian will be very troublesome!
This fragment has fully proved Xie Yunjian's sincerity. Now it's the dogleg's turn to prove his sincerity.
He slapped his thigh: Okay! Let's take out the most valuable thing we have here!
The most precious thing is the son and daughter, or the father and mother, or the golden baby? No, no, no. He had the golden eagle brought out.
This is the face of their tribe. The former patriarch was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, but he couldn't let people hurt a single feather of the golden eagle. Now the dogleg will be handed over to Zhang Shenxian.
When he handed it over, the dog leg was still a little frustrated: this golden eagle, on that fateful night, suddenly went crazy and screamed, and it was said that he wanted to save the former patriarch! So the golden eagle is on the side of the former patriarch? If you keep it again, I don't know if it will be bad for the dog's legs! That's still to send it out clean.
This is also a dog's weak heart, so he is particularly timid, and he doesn't dare to take any risks, let alone stay by his side - he is troubled when he thinks about it! It's great to give it away.
Zhang Shenxian transported the golden eagle to Xie Yunjian, and everyone knew that Northern Xinjiang didn't matter in this winter. There is an alliance with Xie Yunjian, and the Great Khan will not dare to make any moves one hundred percent before the spring flowers bloom. If there is anything, it must be after the spring grass has grown and the cattle and sheep have fat. Spring in the northern steppes comes late, and there is plenty of time.
Abundant to Xie Yunjian, rest assured, boldly go back to King Qin.
The so-called "King Qin" means to be very diligent to save the emperor. In fact, Cui Heng is not urgent enough to ask someone to rush back to save him now, Yun Jian estimated. However, the emperor has been in office for a long time, and the security cordon has been raised too high, and he is panicked when he is a little troubled. The emperor lost a single hair more seriously than the grass people. It can't be helped.
Yun Jian rushed back to the south, estimating that he didn't really need to rush to Jingbei Province, and those "enemy robbers" had already been driven away by other armies.
But he still has to do it. It doesn't matter if it's useful or not, you have to rush back after all.
When he arrived to the east of Weicheng, he picked up Wanliu. Wan Liu's illness has been cured. This is reassuring.
At this time, the golden eagle made trouble again. It still screamed bitterly, like a steel bar poking in a person's brain. What's going on? There was a sharp-eyed one looking up at the sky - there were birds!
The weather was good, and they could see it, but what they saw was actually a black spot, not much bigger than dust. I can't even see the shape. The reason why it is said to be a bird is just that everyone guesses that it can only be a bird that can fly there like this...... Right?
There may not really be a fairy flying there! After all, this book is not for cultivating immortals, and that kind of "object" can be omitted.
If you make sure that it is a bird, then there are not many options left for a bird that can fly so high.
Everyone guessed without any suspense: it was an eagle!
According to the anomalous performance of the golden eagle they are currently carrying in their cage, it is likely that the one in the sky is also a golden eagle.
The golden eagle in the cage is so excited! The top of the head, the teeth, the wings, I can't wait to break the cage. Even if he dies with him, he will not hesitate to do so.
Wanliu looked at Cloud Sword.
Yun Jian sighed and asked someone to open the cage.
The golden eagle in the cage came out, was so excited that it immediately flew into the sky. It was well bodied, and when it said it was flying, it jumped up, but it didn't even look back. It was a convergence with that point in the sky.
In fact, everyone never saw what kind of bird was in the sky. Everyone was looking into the distance, waiting to see if the golden eagle that had been released would come back and fly around Shane, but they saw smoke and dust billowing from the southwest.
If it were an army, it would be a dust that could only be carried by a terrifying army of hundreds of thousands of cavalry.
And this dust is not raised by the army, but a catastrophe.
The 100,000-mile fire disaster report was sent to Cui Heng's case.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but ask the Third Emperor Ji Huixue: "The locust plague is still ...... Drought? ”
Generally speaking, locust plagues are more terrible, but for the current situation in the west, the drought will be even more terrifying.
"Back to the Queen Mother, it's a drought. There was already little water over there, so it would be better when spring came. The Third Emperor said as slowly as she could, but her voice couldn't help but tremble.
In fact, even for the west, it was a rare drought.
The summer heat wave has already baked the water veins in the west to the point of dying, and there have already been some requests for tax reductions and exemptions handed to Cui Heng, and Cui Heng has also approved them. It stands to reason that autumn should be able to support the past, and in winter, we are ready to send some grain from the south to help them, and wait until next spring.
But summer wasn't over yet, and a terrible sandstorm began.
The sandstorm has never lasted so long, so widely, and even invaded the gates. (To be continued......)
