In the evening, as the sun gradually sets, the golden sunlight shines over the colorful grasslands, and the rolling snow-capped peaks of the Tianshan Mountains stand in the distance, shining seductively in the brilliant sunset.

Around the sparkling salt lake, herds of wild horses and bison, as well as various small animals and large beasts, once again come to drink.

"咴~~"

With a clear and loud neigh, soon I saw a group of wild horses coming from the direction of the northwest grassland, among the hundreds of wild horses of different colors, mixed with dozens of foals, were galloping in the sunset, and the first chestnut horse was covered with satin, shining in the sunset.

In the col not far from the salt lake, countless hunters had already been ambushed, many of them still holding long lassos in their hands, and in the woods on the top of the hill, several leaders of the horse trapping team covered in weeds were also closely observing the movements around the lake.

"It's coming!"

With the sound of neighing horses in the distance, it was similar to the daily observation, and a chestnut-colored horse led the herd of wild horses almost exactly to the fixed place where the daily water was drunk.

"Ready!" The leader turned and made a gesture, and dozens of masters of the horses all turned on their horses, and the rest of the auxiliaries also followed suit, preparing bows and arrows and ropes to help these masters of the horses to encircle the horse.

"Our horses are not fast and endurance enough, so we can only fight quickly, there are our people in the northeast, and they will force the wild horses over later, everyone observe the timing to shoot, and the king will have a heavy reward after success!"

"Yes~" Everyone bumped the horse's belly excitedly and slowly walked out of the valley.

About two or three miles to the northwest, there was also a group of horses that followed the wild horses, hidden in the woods near a stream, and the leader was none other than Maudun, who said the same thing to a group of men, but their purpose was to wait for the wild horses to return from drinking water and ambush them in the path through which the wild horses must pass.

The wild horses finally came to the position where they drank water every day, and the chestnut horses led by them looked like they were staring, and after cracking their big mouths to reveal their snow-white and neat front teeth and neighing at the surroundings, the bison and wild deer who were drinking nearby had to succumb to the arrogant obscenity of this guy, and after a commotion, they dispersed to both sides, and the horses behind them all walked to the shore of the lake and began to drink.

And less than fifty feet away from the wild horse herd, there was also a herd of horses, but in the weeds and thorns under each horse, there was also a man squatting with horse manure on his body, and at this time they all carefully observed the movement of the wild horse herd, and watched the goal that had been waiting for most of the day finally began to drink water daily, so one of them jumped up and turned over and sat on the back of the bare horse, and shouted and went straight to the wild horse herd with his legs between the horse's belly, and almost at the same time, a group of people hiding in the grass turned over and got on their horses, He made all kinds of strange sounds such as hissing and hissing, and followed.

Many small animals such as antelope fawns and fawns who are vigilant and timid by nature first panicked, spreading their hooves and running in all directions, driven by this, the bison herd was also disturbed, and a large number of bison also began to run in all directions amid the sound of mooing one after another.

The bison is large and fast, running like a drum, hundreds of bison running at the same time caused by the panic instantly transmitted to the entire salt lake, so with the salt lake as the center, thousands of beasts that came to drink water all scattered and fled, countless young cubs who had just given birth were left behind by their parents and kept calling, the whole scene was spectacular and chaotic at the same time.

"Huh~~" The chestnut steed turned to look at the group of riders who were coming straight forward, neighed and took the lead to flee to the southeast.

"Come, out~~" On the top of the hill, as one of the leaders of the Gushi gave a signal, the horse master who had been waiting for a long time and hundreds of hunters who assisted in the round-up all rode out of the valley and rushed up against the wild horses that were galloping.

"Scatter the horses~"

"Drive ...... into the Col"

"Intercept the ...... ahead"

"Hurry ......"

With the experienced leader's loud shouting command, hundreds of people quickly separated the maroon horses and wild horses, while more than a dozen hunters with stalks rushed to the maroon horses, and many auxiliary hunters began to wave the harness in their hands and constantly clamped the horse's belly and began to encircle the target.

The movements of the Gushi were clearly seen by Mao Dun and the others who were hiding in the woods.

"Your Highness, it seems that you have been preempted by your aunt!" A Hun man wearing leather armor and carrying a bow and arrow beside Mao Dun whispered.

"Smack~" Mao Dun twitched and broke a branch in his hand, his eyes showing raging anger.

When he came, he had already made a package ticket with King Tunan, and he would definitely be able to catch this Pegasus, but who knew that everything had been arranged after planning and tracking for many days, and he was robbed by his aunt.

King Tunan said that if he succeeded this time, he would be crowned King of Dumi, and he would be promised a tribe of 5,000 people, which was the basis for him to grow and even replace him in the future, otherwise he would always be called around by King Tunan like a dog.

But now the Gushi people have taken the first step to trap the wild horse, at this time in the bright west sunset, you can clearly see that the horse is galloping back and forth in the surrounded by hundreds of people, rushing left and right, the range of activity is getting smaller and smaller, and it seems that it will soon be forced into a small valley, and there is no need to think much about it in the valley, there must be more traps, once you enter it will be caught quickly.

"Bang~" Mao Dun's eyes were on fire, and he smashed his fist on a huge spruce trunk, and the huge force made the tree more than ten feet tall tremble slightly, and at the same time, countless needles fell down, and at the same time, it also alarmed countless wild birds in the forest to rise into the air.

"Your Highness, there are only three or four hundred people in the aunt, but we have a thousand, or when they get their hands on it, we will simply grab it!" Another henchman next to him whispered.

"Rob?!" Mao was stunned for a moment, and his face instantly became solemn.

"Your Royal Highness, grabbing things is our old business, I want to escape from the Yue clan to now, we are all the way over, although here is relatively close to the aunt, but now the sky is going to be dark soon, grab the horse and leave immediately, and when the aunt catches up, I have already returned to the Yue royal court!"

"Yes, Your Highness, don't worry, even if Gushi Guo knows that we did it, he doesn't dare to do anything to us, it's not that he hasn't fought before, and we won't suffer a loss if we really fight!"

"Yes, if you miss this opportunity, King Nantu will inevitably blame His Highness, and then he will be humiliated in public again, I really can't bear it!"

Under the persuasion of a group of Hun henchmen, Mao Dun finally made up his mind to rely on more people to do this vote.

Soon Maudun's order was passed down, and thousands of people who had been lying in ambush near the creek and woods were gathered.

These people have Yue's people, but most of them are Wusun and the bandits and hooligans of the Western Regions who were recovered by Maoton, these people are his henchmen, but there are not many Huns among them, if he wants to develop and grow, in addition to getting more manpower, he must also develop eastward, return to the vicinity of the big river to gather the old Xiongnu department, so as to finally let the Xiongnu rise again, and wait until the strength is strong enough, in order to attack the Central Plains to avenge the dead father and the Huns......

As the beasts drinking by the salt lake were all scattered in confusion, the lake was soon calm again, the setting sun was more westward, and it had half sunset under the snow-capped mountains in the west, the golden sunlight spread over the mountains and meadows, and the melting streams meandered through the forest meadows, and everything was as beautiful as ever.

And in the midst of this utter beauty and tranquility, a group of steppe hunters armed with lasas and lassoes were chasing and intercepting a chestnut steed, which was rounded up by hundreds of men, and sprinted back and forth, but was slowly forced into a valley, and soon everyone rode in, and there was constant scolding and neighing from it.

The sunset finally fell under the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

As the last golden ray of sunlight disappeared, the entire foot of the snow-capped mountain was instantly enveloped in darkness, and at the same time, a cold night breath also followed.

As the shadows fell, a team of thousands of men, armed with bows and arrows, rode along the edge of the forest towards the entrance to the small valley.

"Oh~~"

With a burst of incomparably enthusiastic laughter coming from the valley, the Gushi's horse hunting team had been successful, and after several days of careful planning, this once-in-a-century steed was finally caught by them with rope nets and traps, so after a burst of jubilation, the Gushi people were all tired and lay on the ground like wild dogs to rest.

If it weren't for the narrow terrain and traps in the valley, it would have fallen short today.

"Hahahaha...... Good horse, it's really one in a million! Looking at the chestnut steed trapped by rope nets and lassoes, a middle-aged man in a leather jacket looked up to the sky excitedly and laughed, and after instructing his subordinates to put the horse on the bridle head, he stroked the smooth and supple fur of the horse with satisfaction, and was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

If you bring this horse back and give it to King Gushi, you will not only get a large amount of gold, but you will also get porcelain, glass and even silk from Daqin, which are extremely valuable items that you can't buy even if you have money on weekdays......

Just as the middle-aged man was excitedly thinking about what would happen after he got back this steed that had been coveted by countless horse hunters, suddenly the earth began to tremble slightly, accompanied by the sound of thunderous horses' hooves coming from outside the valley.

The sudden sound of horses' hooves also alarmed the resting aunts, and many people got up and looked at each other without knowing why.

"It's so late, is there still a herd of wild horses coming to drink?"

The middle-aged man muttered, looked up at the mountains and forests around him that were gradually becoming hazy, and loudly scolded everyone to get on their horses and prepare to leave.

"Boom~"

Just as the Gushi began to arrange their equipment and horses, with the sound of horses' hooves becoming more and more dense, suddenly a group of people rushed to the mouth of the valley and shot an arrow at the first hunter with long arms and felt hats.

"Huh~" With the sound of the bowstring, a sharp arrow pierced the cold evening air, and a master hunter who was turning over and getting on the horse fell down without snorting.

"Fight, it's the people of Maudun!"

The sudden change made the aunt panic instantly, and in the frightened shout, the big man led by him turned over and jumped on the back of the sweaty BMW that had just been captured, and his legs clamped the horse's belly, and he pulled out a scimitar from his waist and met it with a shake of the reins.
