Early the next morning, several people met in the front hall of the patriarch's mansion, and a few people had just sat down, and Chama also arrived.

"What about Bima? Why haven't you come yet? ”

Chema sat down on the throne and asked the people below.

"Patriarch Hui, Bima is not feeling well, and she is on leave today."

"Not feeling well? Is it a big deal? ”

After all, he still cares about Bima, and Chama forgets to ask in a word.

"It seems to be stained with something unclean, my body is red, swollen and painful, and I may not be able to get out of bed for two days."

When Shangguan Yinling and the others heard this, they all turned their heads to look at Lu Li, who played with the tassels hanging on his waist with a faint expression, as if he didn't care about how Bi Ma was.

Looking at her demeanor, you know that this matter must have something to do with her.

"Lang Zhong has seen it?"

Chama's gaze fell on Lu Li for a moment, and seeing her clear conscience, she didn't think much about it.

Bima misbehaved, and he offended others in the clan, and it is not known whether someone took advantage of this opportunity to take revenge.

"Look, Lang Zhong said that the redness and swelling will be cured after two days."

"That's fine."

Fortunately, it's not a big deal, the most important thing for them now is to recover the war horse, Bima's personal grudges, let's talk about it later.

"That being the case, we don't have to wait any longer for Bima. Once everyone was gathered, we began to discuss the recovery of the war horse. Chama straightened up and turned his eyes to look at Shangguan Yinling, "Lord Shangguan, can we start?" ”

"Patriarch, please speak." Shangguan Yinling stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Chama nodded slightly, and began to think back to the strange phenomenon of the day when the horse was lost.

"About half a month ago, there are always strange foreigners near the Miao tribe, sneaky, but never close to the clan, I also sent someone to investigate, but did not find anything strange, within two days, there were brothers and war horses missing one after another, although we take strict precautions, but we can't hide in the clan and not go out. But no matter how much we tried to prevent it and how we sent more men, those who went out every day to herd the horses did not come back in the end, and there was no clue to send people to look for them, so I ordered the remaining brothers not to go out to herd the horses until the day when the adults came. ”

"Has the patriarch carefully calculated how many horses and the people who herded the horses in total?"

Shangguan Yuling frowned slightly, to be able to take away so many horses and people without knowing it, there must be a lot of people on the other side, and the strength should not be underestimated.

"A total of 300 horses were lost, and there were about 40 horsemen."

Three hundred war horses were all lost, such a huge number, so many war horses, the other party would definitely not be able to transfer all of them in a short period of time, maybe they were still hiding somewhere near the Miao tribe.

"Ever since the loss of my horse, I have sent people to guard the major passes nearby, and if those people flee with our horses, they will surely attract our attention. So I'm sure they're still around. "Since the first day of the theft of the war horse, he communicated with the governor of northern Xinjiang, informing the horse of the theft, the governor also sent people to search, he even sent people to guard the major passes, their Miao clan raised war horses and other places are different, there will be a small totem above the horse's legs, it is printed from the horse when it was young, it can never be touched, if someone really wants to mix out with the war horse, they will definitely be found.

"In that case, can the patriarch take us to the place where the war horse was lost?"

"Naturally."

The group rode their horses to a very fertile pasture outside the Miao people, which is a fixed place for the Miao people to put their horses, and it may generally be transferred, but it is generally within this range.

The last time the horse was stolen was seven days ago, and there had been no horses here for many days, and the green grass was in full bloom, and it was full of greenery from a distance.

Although the horses have not been released for several days, there are still obvious signs of horses trampling here.

"Patriarch, when the horse was stolen, did you notice which direction the horse's hooves went?"

Now this tread mark is chaotic, it is no longer easy to recognize, not to mention that they are not herdsmen who live on the grassland all year round, and they are really powerless to recognize this horseshoe tread, if they pay attention to it, it is naturally the best.

"North." Chema stood up and looked far north.

"Isn't this north a bitter cold place? Where can three hundred horses survive? Duan Lang couldn't help but wonder.

This Miao tribe is already north enough, and to the north is a desert, and further north of the desert is a bitter cold land where the sharp ice has not melted for a hundred years.

Don't talk about horses, even strong-willed people can't survive there for long.

"That's what I don't understand." He has never penetrated into this extreme northern place, if the ancestors had left a message a hundred years ago, the Miao people must not step into the bitter cold land outside the extreme desert, otherwise the Miao people are in danger, they have been keeping the words of the ancestors in their hearts for so many years, even if they have entered the desert far away, and looked at the bitter cold land from the iceberg, they have never stepped in.

If this horse thief is really hidden in the nearby grassland, he will inevitably be discovered by them, and the northern Xinjiang is mostly flat grassland, which cannot be hidden.

"In our northern Xinjiang, there is a rumor." Several people were silent for a long time, but Chama spoke as if he was very embarrassed, "Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, an old ancestor kept the body of an old man in an ice cave in the Far North, and then he also disappeared into the Far North and never came out of it again. Rumor has it that this veteran has discovered a fairyland in the far north, where the grass is green and the flowers are blooming, and it is very beautiful than the grasslands of the northern frontier. ”

"So the patriarch means that these horse thieves also discovered this fairyland and hid the war horses in the fairyland?"

Gong Chengqi couldn't help but wonder, the theory of fairyland is really a fantasy, how can there be a fairyland with green grass and flowers under this hundred feet of ice?

But now the whereabouts of the horse thieves are even more puzzling than this fairyland.

"The patriarch's intentions, don't you want me to wait to explore the far north?"

Shangguan Yinling, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth, but it was the right problem.

Isn't it?

If this Chama really has any doubts about the Far North, why not take someone to find out for himself. Why wait until now to say it to them?

To dare is to use them as swords.

Thinking of this, Lu Li's expression was a little unhappy.

They traveled thousands of miles to help the Miao people investigate the case, but they were good, they didn't contribute themselves, and the matter of sending them to death was pushed to do.

That's not kind, isn't it?
