In front of a felt tent, Musina walked back and forth, fighting fiercely in her heart.

After occupying this tribe, the Di people and horse bandits under the mountain wind were unscrupulous, taking property and raping women, even the cavalry of the Sidi tribe were as poor and evil as them.

This is the rule of the steppe, and the victor has the right to dominate the defeated one. Sheep and cattle, possessions, women, including the vanquished themselves, can be turned into slaves. And most of the women on the grassland also have such an awareness, whoever becomes the victor will become their new master.

The women of the prairie have long been accustomed to and accepted this rule in their special living environment, and even if they love their original husbands, they generally rarely resist after being taken captive, and most of them will calmly accept the reality, become the wives of their new husbands, and take the responsibility of taking care of the family conscientiously.

Seeing this situation, Mu Sina, as a Di woman, couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart.

And like Mu Sina, who is depressed and overwhelmed, there is Gao Yuer.

Gao Yu'er specializes in extremely dangerous scout missions, each mission can be as little as a few months, as much as a year, and extremely dangerous, once someone is recognized, there is no possibility of survival. The reason why he is so old and has not yet married is not because he is too reticent when he goes on a blind date, but because his identity is too dangerous, who wants to become a widow at any time?

He was taciturn on a blind date. It's precisely because of the problem that I developed after experiencing many failed blind dates, hehe...... Gao Yuer is still a virgin until now, watching others do whatever they want. And those women didn't resist, and Gao Yu'er couldn't help but move her mind.

But Gao Yuer is the legendary thief who has the heart of a thief but not the courage of a thief.

In the tent behind him, there was a very pretty Diren girl, and when the horse thief under the mountain wind rushed to this house to plunder the property, because he was stopped by the head of the household, he wanted to draw a knife and kill him.

He could feel it. The girl had a crush on him, and the wolf-like thieves wandered around, looking for something they could get rid of. The people of the tribe were all terrified, and the maiden even had a flattering attitude towards him, as if she wanted to rely on him for protection if he wanted to sleep with her...... She shouldn't object, right?

Gao Yu'er struggled and struggled in his heart. Smiled for a while. After a moment of despondency, and a moment of not knowing what he had thought, his face turned red, and after struggling for a long time, he finally made up his mind, stomped his foot, turned around, and ran into the tent.

The beautiful Diren girl stood up timidly, looking at his strange expression and burning gaze. Suddenly she understood something, and she lowered her head a little shyly. Another quick glance at him.

Gao Yu'er mustered up his courage and was just about to speak, when he heard a shout from outside: Are the carriages and horses loaded? Walked away, leave immediately!

Gao Yu'er wanted to suck the angry pig's belly, drooped his head, and walked out sullenly......

……

On top of a mound across the wide freshwater lake, a man stood silently across the Qingxiong tribe.

His whole body was wrapped in an earthy yellow robe and a one-piece turban, and his face was also covered with a cloth towel of the same color, revealing only a pair of curved eyebrows and a pair of delicate eyes.

The eyebrows are crooked, like the crescent moon reflected in the lake below the sand dunes at night, and the eyes are bright, like the stars twinkling in the moonless night sky.

His hand was outstretched, and the foal was bowing his head, licking the salt from her palm, which was a little thin.

Shen Rendrunk followed Mi Zixuan for a long time, until Mi Zihui entered the Dunhuang Cave Valley and lived in the Xidi tribe. This winter, he was guarding a small tribe on the way back to Yazixuan, but on the way back, he finally lost Mizixuan.

When Mi Zi Xuan returned to the time of heavy snowfall, such weather was especially dangerous for him as a person who was traveling alone, his horse had diarrhea, and when he finally arrived at the oasis town where Mi Zi Xuan stayed, Mi Zi Xuan had been protected by the people sent by Naoer to continue his eastward journey, and he saw all the people and horses such as Yao'er and Huyi left by Mi Zixuan.

These people sneakily climbed over the Dali Mountain into the territory of the Dongdi people, and Shen Rendrunk thought that Mi Zixuan was also among them, so he chased all the way here.

This Xiao Langjun is really a little persevering, until now he thought that Mi Zi was in Guzhu, and Shen Rendrunk was very puzzled by what Mi Zi and some horse bandits did in Guzhu, but he just had to follow all the way down and know all his whereabouts, and he had his aunt to analyze these things, he didn't need to worry about it, and his aunt never had to worry about her.

Shen Rendrunk stood there quietly, the same color as the grass sky, the people on the other side couldn't see him at all, he saw that the people in the distance had already driven away, and then gently pulled the reins, and the foal immediately stood tamely, Shen Rendrunk stepped on his back, drank gently, and the foal led him along the undulating grassy knoll forward.

One horse and one person, always alone.

The lonely figure is full of loneliness.

……

Youruo is a large tribe of the Dongdi people, and the territory is in the middle of the territory of the Di people, and the soldiers and horses of all tribes are gathered here, which can ensure that the soldiers and horses of each tribe arrive in a similar time, and there will be no situation where many soldiers and horses are waiting for a certain tribe to arrive late.

However, this made it more difficult for Haruka, who was unable to guess the location of their possible attack based on the concentration of Di people's troops, so she sent a message to the fortress to warn her first, so Haruka decided to infiltrate the Youruo tribe and act again.

Along the way, their roles still shifted between the conscripted Di soldiers and horse bandits, and when they met a tribe that was easy to eat, they would pretend to be horse bandits and rob him, and when they encountered a powerful tribe, they would pretend to be a tribe and rush to the soldiers and horses that were like a confluence, and swaggered past in front of their tribe.

Halfway through the mountain wind. I felt that it was too far away from my lair and that I should go back. He discussed it with Huyi, but Huyi insisted on continuing to break through. However, he readily agreed to cross the mountain wind, and the two teams finally did a vote, divided the spoils, and broke up.

This time, Huyi's team also got a lot of cattle and sheep, because it was getting closer and closer to Youruo, in order to avoid exposure. It's unlikely that they'll be bandits anymore, so they'll need to have food as well. The main food of the steppe peoples is livestock. Huyi's party drove the captured cattle and sheep. All the way to the secluded, but not hungry.

When the Di people were fighting, the soldiers and horses had to be requisitioned from various tribes, and the soldiers who were recruited were all equipped with their own weapons, horses, and food. Although their food is also a bit of fried noodles and dried cakes. But the main thing is the living creatures. That is, cattle and sheep, which is the case with every team that enlists.

As long as they went out on the expedition, they drove large herds of cattle and sheep, and when they were hungry, they slaughtered a few cattle and sheep to satisfy their hunger. In the war between the Great Qi and the nomadic tribes, when the victory was over, a special piece was often set aside in the battle report to count the number of cattle, sheep and livestock captured in this battle, which was not all the way to the enemy's tribe, but once the enemy suffered a defeat, the three armies retreated and fled. The cattle and sheep they brought with them became the spoils of war.

They didn't have any pay, and the king of Dondi wouldn't care about that. The tribal chief would not care about such a thing, whether it was weapons, horses, or rations, they had to prepare their own weapons. With no pay, they relied on the loot they captured from the battlefield to supplement their losses and make gains. Therefore, they were braver than anyone else in the battle of the wind, and as soon as they won the battle, they burned and plundered, turned their soldiers into bandits, and caused great disasters to the occupied territories.

Because of this, when they defeat the battle, they will collapse faster than anyone else, because when they die, their families will suffer, and they will not even have a pension, and they may become slaves of others. Therefore, when they are defeated, there is often a strange scene where only a few people are left around the leader to protect them, that is, the father and mother are married, and everyone takes care of each other.

Gradually some other tribes' teams appeared on the road, just like Yao'er. They are also disorganized, their own armor and weapons are different, coaxing a herd of cattle, sheep and livestock, and they don't know that they don't think they are a group of soldiers, and they think they are a group of armed cattle dealers.

Yao'er's team easily got mixed in and rushed towards the Youruo tribe together.

At noon that day, they finally arrived at the Youruo tribe, and they were worried that they would be interrogated, so they deliberately fell behind, and only sent a few Di people to follow the team in front to inquire about the situation, but found that no one was responsible for receiving these warriors from various tribes.

When these warriors arrived, they set up camp in a warm leeward and sunny place on the vast snowfield, and set up a top felt bag and cattle pen, and then their leader would lead a few people into the territory of the Youruo tribe to meet the commander of the three armies.

Seeing this situation, Yao'er put his mind at ease, and they also looked for territory and camped on the snowfield, because each tribe was looking for a warm and sunny place in the leeward when camping, so this camp was not densely packed, and the snowy area facing the sun and leeward, the camp tents of each tribe were lined up, and those areas with the sun and wind were empty and nothing.

So, Yao'er and the others did the same, and camped under the gentle slope on the leeward and sunny side. They had come late, and if they deliberately gave way to the outside, they stationed at the outermost edge of this continuous camp, so that if something happened to them, they could flee as quickly as possible.

After that, Yao'er, Huyi, Gao Yu'er, Mu Sina and others rode horses and rushed to the Youruo tribe.

As a large tribe located in the center of the Di people, and blessed with a freshwater lake next to it, some of the inhabitants of the tribe gradually stopped being nomadic and turned to business, and the stable life made this place no longer just a complex of felt tents, although it is still called a tribe, but it has the rudiments of a city.

The tribe is surrounded by a loess adobe city wall that is more than a foot high, and the wall is cracked out by the wind and rain, like an old face. The city gate is a high fence gate, no one guards it, the Di people country has not yet perfected the tax system, and you have to collect tolls when you enter a tribe, and those fierce shepherds will draw their swords and fight with you.

After entering the city, there was chaos everywhere, there were rows of shed-like buildings, mud houses, and felt bags common in the grasslands, and because of the large number of foreigners in the city, the business vendors were active, and the rows of shacks were filled with smoke and sold all kinds of snacks and bad liquor.

The drunken prairie warriors are the biggest patrons here, and many of them don't buy the same side dishes, but they sell a bag of bad wine and drink it with relish. Only the wealthier people would sit down in the small shed, make a few hu cakes, cut a plate of beef, and drink five or six to a heart's content.

Yao'er, Huyi and the others were all dressed in Di Ren-like robes and Di Ren-style hairstyles, looking no different from ordinary black Di people, and like everyone else, they also stuck their unsheathed steel knives into their belts, swaggering, as if no one was around.

Yao'er was walking forward, Gao Yu'er suddenly pulled him, Yao'er turned his head to see, Gao Yu'er was listening to a few people in a simple wine shed next to him, Gao Yu'er listened to a few words, suddenly turned to Yao'er, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and said in a low voice in Chinese: That person is the Di Ren spy who escaped from the lonely bamboo border army!
