Chapter 399: Searching for Traces

"Yang Muyun......" Agadorji spit out these three words from his teeth with a hideous face, the green tendons on the back of his hand holding the reins bulged, curled up his fists and smashed on the horse's back, the horse was in pain, raised his mane, and neighed.

......

"County Lord," Somugya glanced at Agadorji from a distance, and said to Yuan Qi'er, "Second Highness looks very angry! ”

"What does it matter to me if he's angry or not?" Yuan Qi'er said coldly: "When he was in the grassland, he pestered people all day long, and he was annoyed to death, and when he went to Mingdu, he felt that he had finally avoided him, but who knew that he posted it again." He sighed in disgust.

"Actually...... Second Highness has a deep affection for you," Suomjiya glanced at her and said very carefully: "He is a descendant of the Golden Family, and his status is respected, why do you avoid him, county lord?" ”

"If you don't like it, you don't like it," Yuan Qi'er glanced at her, "Where is there so much truth to talk about?" If you can't bear it, go and be with him instead of me. ”

Somujiya's face turned red, and he turned his face away, "I'm just a slave, how can the Second Highness look down on me?" ”

"But I think she's nice to you!" Yuan Qi'er looked at her with a smile, "The pearl hairpin he gave you is indeed the best, and I don't even have it here." ”

"County Lord......" Somujiya turned his horse's head around and turned away.

Yuan Qi'er was about to make fun of her a few more words, when she galloped over and bowed to Yuan Qi'er, "County Lord, the prince invites you to come over, I have something to discuss with you." ”

————————————

It's a sunny day, probably because it's not too cold, and the snow on the prairie is starting to melt, revealing a withered yellow turf.

A small cavalry team of the Ming army walked on the grassland after the snow, the front and rear were neatly lined up, and the pace was uniform.

"Silent," Yang Muyun glanced at Mo Buyu, who was full of excitement, "How is it?" These people are okay to bring, right? ”

"My lord," Mo Buyu hugged his fist towards Yang Muyun, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity, I won't tell you, they all listen to me, I let them go east, they will never go west." ”

"It seems that you are quite suitable for leading troops," Yang Muyun smiled, "If you really want to be a general in the future, don't forget to invite me to drink." ”

"How can I just drink wine," Mo Buyu stretched out his hand and stroked, "I will build you a big mansion for you to live in, and I will also give you many maids and servants to serve you." ”

"Okay, okay," Yang Muyun smiled and waved his hand, "I can't afford it, as long as you don't stab me, I'll be thankful." ”

"Your Excellency, please rest assured," Mo Buyu patted his chest, "I do things alone, and if I really want to do something wrong, I will cut off my own head, and I will never drag you down." ”

Yang Muyun smiled and did not speak.

"My lord, don't we really need to meet with them?" Mo Buyu asked.

"It depends!" Yang Muyun muttered: "Judging from the current situation, it would be better for us not to join them for the time being," seeing that he didn't understand a little, he explained: "Now the army of the Tartars is closely chasing after them, and we are following behind the army of the Tartars, and we are agile and free, and we can play the role of a surprise soldier." ”

"Oh." Although Mo Buyu nodded, he was inevitably confused in his heart, "There are less than a thousand people on the adult's side, and the Tartar army is tens of thousands, even if the adult is in danger, the strength of our strange army is inevitably too weak." ”

A few horses came galloping in front of them, and the first one was Lin Meier.

"Look, my lord," Mo Buyu said with an excited face, "Aunt Lin...... Lin always came to her. ”

......

"How? What is the movement of the Tartar army? Yang Muyun asked.

Lin Meier's words surprised him.

"The army of the Tartars is gone."

"What?" Yang Muyun exclaimed: "They have tens of thousands of troops, how could they suddenly disappear?" ”

"They want to know that we are following them, and send out a number of rangers against us, and by the time we get rid of their rangers and go back to investigate, their whole army has been lost." Lin Meier said with a solemn face.

"It's hard for tens of thousands of horses to hide their whereabouts in the vast grassland," Yang Muyun thought for a moment and said, "It is very likely that they will disperse into several teams and flee to them."

It directions. Then he asked, "What about Lord Yu's team?" Have you ever found out about Lord Yu's whereabouts? ”

"No," Lin Mei'er said, "Lord Yu, they seem to have lost their traces out of thin air. ”

"That's weird," Yang Muyun frowned and said, "There are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under Lord Yu, so they shouldn't be scattered......"

"We are not familiar with this grassland," Lin Mei'er pursed her lips, "but it is not surprising that the Tartars are like fish in water in this grassland, and they are scattered and hidden. The old general Yang beside Lord Yu has been on the border for a long time, and I heard that when Emperor Taizong conquered Mobei, he also accompanied him on the expedition, and he should be no stranger to fighting on the grassland, so he must also have a way to march covertly. He comforted him and said, "You don't have to worry, although we can't find any trace of them for the time being, they must be heading south, and we will definitely find something when we lead our troops to the south." ”

"Hmm......" Yang Muyun nodded, and suddenly heard a loud shout from Mo Buyu beside him, "Ah, it's not good!" ”

"What are you doing?" Yang Muyun's body trembled when he shouted, and he looked at him angrily.

"My lord," Mo Buyu glared at his big round eyes, "do you think the Tartars will come at us?" He looked around in horror, for fear that countless soldiers and horses would suddenly come out.

"What do you want?" Yang Muyun stretched out his hand and knocked on the door of his head, "Tens of thousands of Tartar cavalry have tried their best to deal with hundreds of us, can they afford to be so troublesome?" ”

"Yes," Mo Buyu smiled, "I'm thinking a little too much." ”

"There's still a lot going on in your head?" Yang Muyun glanced at him, "That's a very strange thing!" ”

"Muyun," Lin Mei'er glanced at Mo Buyu, and then turned to Yang Muyun and said: "If you don't say anything, you can't be guarded, there are tens of thousands of people in the Tartars, and it's not impossible to draw out a few thousand people to deal with us." ”

"Hmm...... You have a point, too. Yang Muyun thought of the scheming Yuan Qi'er, and every move she made was indeed difficult to figure out.

"We might as well go around in a circle," Lin Mei'er pointed into the distance, "turn to the southeast, where there are more hills, and the terrain is undulating, making it easy to hide your whereabouts." We don't have to fight with the Tartars, as long as we bring the team to the pass safely, we will not live up to the trust of the Lord and General Yang. ”

"It seems that you are already in the chest," Yang Muyun said with a smile: "Then there is General Laulin to lead us out of a way of life!" ”

————————————

In a gentle mountainous area, there are dozens of white yurts, which are like flowers in the early winter grassland.

On the withered yellow meadows, shepherds are grazing snow-white sheep, huge herds of cattle and galloping horses. Cattle and sheep graze quietly on the hillside, horses are running, these horses are black, maroon, brown, and a few white horses, their shiny fur shimmering golden in the setting sun, and their long manes and tails fluttering in the wind, showing their majesty and majesty.

It was nearly dusk, and the shepherds shouted and waved their whips to drive the herds back to their pens.

The sun rises and the sun sets, everything is so peaceful. But today this peace is shattered.

The ground trembled slightly, and there was a faint shout, and the shepherds looked into the distance in astonishment, only to see that from the other side of the hillside, five or six hundred horses suddenly appeared, and rushed madly towards their small tribe, and the warriors on the horses brandished all kinds of weapons, and their mouths made whistle screams.

"It's a horse thief!" One of the burly shepherds shouted at the other shepherds: "Quick, send the women and children into the tent, and do not let them out, while the others take up their swords and arrows and join me in stopping them." ”

There were not many people in this small tribe, about 300 people, and even fewer men were able to concentrate on fighting, less than 100 people. There were at least five or six hundred horse thieves who rushed over.

The burly shepherd, the leader of this small tribe, was called Luxon, and he hurriedly gathered the shepherds who could fight, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a thin figure among them, and he could not help but be stunned, and shouted: "Dulan, what are you doing? Why don't you hide in the felt tent with your Eji and your younger brothers and sisters? ”

"Daddy," said a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, stubbornly raising her bow and arrow, "I want to fight with you." ”

"Nonsense," pulled

Kesen angrily reprimanded: "You are a girl's ......" Before he could finish speaking, the group of horse thieves had already rushed to the front. Luxon stopped talking, brandished his saber and led the men forward.

The two groups of people quickly fought together, shouting, scolding, and the sound of the clashing of blades intertwined into a strange music.

The tribe has few people, and it falls behind when it comes. Duran pulled his bow and shot a horse thief under the horse, and was about to draw another arrow, when suddenly a stout horse thief screamed and rushed at her with the knife in his hand.

It was too late to shoot the arrow, so Dulan had to draw her saber, which was heavy, and she lifted it with both hands with all her strength.

With a bang, she felt her arms tremble, and the thief effortlessly knocked the knife off her hand. The fur hat also fell on the grass, and the green silk on his head fluttered in the wind.

"It's a girl." The horse thief was slightly stunned, and a lewd smile appeared on his face.

"Dulan, run!" Luxon yelled at her, but the thief flew up and took her from his horse and put her on his horse.

Duran struggled and screamed, but to no avail. The horse thief laughed proudly, but laughed and laughed, but suddenly he stopped laughing, and a few drops of blood fell on Du Lanshang's still immature cheeks. She looked up in astonishment, but saw the thief with his mouth wide open, his eyes bulging, and an arrow stuck in his throat.

Dulan saw it clearly, that arrow was not from their tribe. In the distance, there was another rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and she struggled to climb onto the horse's back and looked up at the place where the sound had come from. A group of knights in red armor swept like a fiery wind, and sharp arrows broke through the air at the bowstring, "poof-poof-" A dull sound sounded into the flesh, and one by one the horse thieves fell from their horses screaming.

"Fence it off, don't let them run one." A young and handsome knight commanded. Several horse thieves screamed and waved their sabers at him, he pulled out the double-edged knife on his back and slashed a cold knife light, the knife flashed, blood splattered, and the horse thieves fell off their horses with a howl, one foot still hanging on the stirrup, and was dragged out of the horse by the horse......

"It's the Ming army......" Laxon was stunned, he went to the pass, he had driven cattle and sheep to trade with the Han people, and had seen the color of the Ming army's uniform, but he didn't expect that the Ming army cavalry would appear here, and he would also help him fight horse thieves.

"Chief," a tribal knight came to him, "what shall we do?" Do you want to follow them to fight horse thieves? ”

"Destroy those horse thieves first." As he spoke, Lacson raised his saber and slashed at one of the horse thieves.

This group of horse thieves is obviously not the opponent of this group of Ming cavalry, first a wave of arrows, and then a burst of slashing, most of them have been killed and wounded, and the rest want to escape, but they were blocked by the Ming cavalry to retreat, except for a part of the outlaws and the Ming army to the end, the remaining dozens of people obediently tied their hands. After a battle, there really wasn't a escape.

Laxon led his subordinates to gather in one place, and looked at the group of Ming cavalry with a wary expression.

Mo Buyu was about to step forward, but was stopped by Yang Muyun.

"Leave your weapon on your horse, dismount, and walk over." Yang Muyun said in a low voice.

"But," Mo Buyu worried, "if they want to attack us." What to do? ”

"They won't," Yang Muyun said with certainty: "Let the others not move, you, Mr. Lin, just the three of us." As he spoke, he turned over and dismounted, retracted the double-edged knife from its scabbard and set it on his horse, and then walked slowly towards Luxon and the others empty-handed.

Lin Mei'er gestured to the cavalry behind her, then also turned over and dismounted, following closely behind Yang Muyun.

Mo Buyu hesitated for a moment, and also issued an order to his men and horses not to be reckless, leaving the long pole and big knife in the hook of the horse, but hiding two short knives on his body, and then dismounted and followed.

......

"Look, three of them have dismounted," said one of them, looking at him, and said to Luxon, "and they don't seem to be armed." ”

"Put away all your bows and arrows." Luxon ordered.

"But, the leader......" One of his subordinates was interrupted by Luxon just as he opened his mouth, "put it away—"
