Continuing to walk north for nearly two days, the group took a random burden to pad at night, found a flat and clean lawn to lie down on the spot, Lu Li would be woken up by the grass every night, and then very unceremoniously snatched Duan Lang's robe and spread it under him.

Duan Lang had words of suffering, thinking that they would soon be able to reach the Miao tribe, but in the end they got lost.

Because they found that they had exceeded the distance marked on the map.

It stands to reason that they can reach the border of the Miao people in a day and a half, and they should meet the Miao people there, but they have walked for two days and still do not see any people.

By this time, the group had realized that they had lost their way.

But in this endless grassland, they basically don't know where they are deviating now, so they can only walk along the north.

I heard that many people were lost in this grassland, and when they were found, only a pair of dry bones remained.

"My lord, how shall we go now?"

Shangguan Yuling frowned slightly, although he had always had a good sense of direction, but at this time, on this grassland, he had also lost his goal.

Finally, in the distance, they seemed to hear someone singing, and the unique yak bell sounded in the distance, and in the distance, a man and a cow shrunk into a black dot and walked in the distance.

"Someone!"

After more than two days, I finally saw a living person on the road.

The group hurried after them, and as if they were afraid that the man would run away, they shook the reins and shouted in an attempt to attract the man's attention.

The group rode a horse to catch up, and only then did they see the old man walking slowly on the grassland with the yak.

The old man's hair and beard were gray, but he still had crane hair and a childish face, his cheeks were ruddy, and he was full of energy when he laughed.

"Senior, excuse me." Shangguan Yinling dismounted and walked in front of the old man, "Do you know which direction the Miao clan should go?" ”

"Miao clan? Young man, what are you doing in the Miao? ”

The old man smiled and touched his beard, with an outstanding immortal style in his expression, which couldn't help but make people feel awe.

"To tell you the truth, our trip is to find the lost war horse for the Miao tribe." Shangguan Yinling did not use the excuse of any horse dealer to prevaricate the old man, and his intuition told him that this old man would not believe it.

"That's it. Establishing a life for the people's livelihood is a good deed. The old man smiled and pointed in a direction, "Go in that direction, keep walking and you'll see the person picking you up." ”

"Thank you, senior."

They all bowed their hands and led their horses in the direction pointed by the old man.

"My lord, do you think this old man really knows the way?" What does he think of it?

Duan Lang turned around, and the old man was no longer visible behind him.

"Someone, someone is gone?"

A few people turned around, but sure enough, there was no old man.

They had just walked less than 100 meters, and the old man led the ox so fast?

"I don't know if you've ever heard that there are quite a few cultivators in this northern Xinjiang who have risen out of the red dust." Gong Chengqi frowned slightly, "I see that senior is light under his feet, his breathing is silent, and his face is not like an ordinary person, I am afraid that we are lucky to meet this cultivator." ”

"Is there really such a Taoist?" Xu Yun's face was full of surprise, he had followed the adults to the north and south for many years, and today was an eye-opener.

The group walked in that direction for a long time, and then saw someone curling with smoke, and then walked forward, just in time to meet Zhuo Jin's horse.

"Big brother!"

From afar, I only heard Zhuo Jin calling them, and when I turned my head, Zhuo Jin was riding a horse towards them, and the group stopped their horses and waited for her to come over.

"Big brother, Daddy is afraid that you will get lost, so let me send you to the Miao clan."

Although they have been away from the Miao clan for a few years, they have also heard that the Miao clan is in trouble, and Daddy saw that several big brothers had outstanding temperaments, so he guessed that they were sent by the imperial court to investigate the case, and specially asked her to give her a ride, which can be regarded as doing a little bit for the old clan.

"In that case, thank you, girl."

With Zhuo Jin leading the way, they don't have to worry about getting lost.

After that, the journey was much smoother, and they continued to travel north for most of the day, and finally saw the sign of entering the Miao people in the distance.

At the geographical boundary of the Miao people, there is a huge stone standing on the grassland, which can be seen from a distance.

"Big brother, that's the border of the Miao tribe."

Zhuo Jin pointed to the boulder at Shangguan Yinling next to him, and Shangguan Yinling nodded, which was considered understanding.

Finally arrived at the Miao people.

As soon as the group entered the Miao people, they saw a large number of wooden tent-style houses, the people here were wearing traditional Miao Hu costumes, and their faces were painted with the unique totems of the Miao people.

"Who are you?"

The folk customs here are still quite primitive, and men occupy an absolutely dominant position in this ethnic group, which leads to the fact that men are the heavens here, and women are only their belongings.

Most of the men here are rough and violent, and it is common for them to beat and scold their wives and children from time to time, which is why Zhuo Jin and her father moved away from the Miao people, because if they don't leave, it is very likely that she will be forcibly married home by powerful men of the Miao people when she becomes an adult.

Fortunately, there are a few big brothers around now who can keep her safe.

"We were sent by the imperial court to help you find war horses, please help inform the patriarch." Lu Li grabbed the reins and looked down at a group of bronzed, muscular, and vicious men in front of him.

Looking at the women in front of the house in the distance, doing the work with their children on their backs, their sallow faces and thin bodies, one can guess that this is a patriarchal place.

"What kind of court, in the Miao clan, we only listen to the patriarch!"

A few people didn't seem to give much face, and they took the hoe in their hands and swung it towards Lu Li's horse, Lu Li looked startled, and Shangguan Yuling jumped up, his body flipped, and kicked the man who was much stronger than him to the ground.

He used nearly fifty percent of his internal force with this kick, and the man almost completely lost the strength to struggle, lying on the ground and snorting twice and fainted.

Shangguan Yinling landed steadily, his expression cold.

"Tell you patriarch that the Special Case Division is here to help you investigate the case, if you have such an attitude, it is okay not to investigate this case, but the number of war horses you supply this year is not enough, and you will have to solve it by yourself at that time."

The man was frightened and hurriedly turned around and went to the patriarch's mansion to report.

A short time later, a young man came galloping from the house on horseback.

This person is different from the others, although his complexion is still darker, but not as stout as those people, tall and thin, and quite handsome.

"Meet Lord Shangguan." When the man saw Shangguan Yinling, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and made a greeting gesture unique to the Miao clan, "The clansmen don't know the adults, and they collided with the adults, so please forgive me." ”
