The winter on the grassland is earlier than Yanjing, and this year's winter is exceptionally cold, since the beginning of autumn, as the oasis on the grassland slowly withered yellow, before people adapt to the short transition period, the whole weather quickly entered the cold winter in an instant.

As a result, the large tribes on the entire grassland, who still wanted to take advantage of the short time before the cold winter, to continue to conquer the small tribes were caught off guard, and for a while, in the heavy snow and cold wind, the major tribes had to stop the pace of continuing to fight, and began to prepare in a hurry for the winter.

Hit by the cold snap and blizzard, I was caught off guard, and the most precious wealth of the herdsmen on the grassland, cattle, sheep, horses, children, etc., in the endless white expanse, the cold wind was wanton and ruthless, like a sharp blade scattered throughout the sky, and the cattle and sheep that had not had time to cope with the winter were stiffened and stiffened, and they were frozen to death in the heavy snow.

The thick snow under the feet has only reached the ankles from yesterday, and now it has reached the knees, and the crushed tents have no time and opportunity for the herdsmen to repair under the harsh cold storm and snow, and the large tents are rolled on the snow by the strong wind, and the herdsmen can only watch those tents get farther and farther away from them, but there is nothing they can do.

Herds of cattle, sheep and horses consciously gather in a group, like penguins to keep warm, and the herdsmen who have lost their tents can only drag their families and mouths in the knee-thick snow trudging hard, laboriously beating the cattle and sheep in a group to keep warm, and then squeeze into the center to keep warm and save their lives.

The heavy snow and wind did not mean to stop at all, as if it was about to tear the whole world apart, and the situation of the few large tribes was naturally much better than that of the small tribes, and the loss of property, cattle and sheep was also much less than that of the small tribes.

A sip of inferior but strong liquor went down to the stomach, and the entire chest and abdomen seemed to be put into a stove, making the body that was about to freeze and numb, and finally felt a trace of warmth and comfort.

Sang Kun looked at Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm opposite, the three of them looked at each other with red eyes like bullfighting, ignoring the wind outside and continuing to beat the tent, raising the wine jar again and drinking the spirits.

"If it weren't for this damn snowfall, how would Zamuhe have escaped?" Sang Kun wiped the wine stains on his beard, and said to Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm with some dissatisfaction: "Do you really want to completely obey that woman?" Wouldn't it be better to follow me than to follow her? The three of us brothers work together, we can completely defeat Zamuhe and Temujin, and then the entire grassland will be ours, what kind of woman do you want? ”

"Sankun, don't forget, if it weren't for the iron cloak to help you, you would have died in the last battle." Mo Xiaobao said coldly, his eyes have become more and more fierce in the past few years on the grassland.

Sang Kun smiled disdainfully, obviously not thinking that the last battle with the Zadalan Department, he was almost besieged to death was self-inflicted, in his opinion, that time was completely an accident, it was Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm who were scared and timid, so they gave Zamuhe the opportunity to fight back.

"Sankun, don't forget, you can have today's situation because of the iron clothes supporting you behind your back, otherwise, you would have been eaten by Zamuhe and Temujin, or just like the cattle and sheep that were frozen to death outside, you would not have had the opportunity to drink with us." Zhong Silkworm also retorted with the same fierce expression.

Now there is a huge disagreement between the three of them, if it weren't for the prevention of this blizzard, I'm afraid that Sankun would lead his clan warriors at this moment and continue to pursue Zamuhe and the others.

And Temujin, who had not been seen on the grassland for half a year, did not know when, he had secretly led the best warriors of the Qiyan Department to lurk behind Sang Kun, Mo Xiaobao, and Zhong Silkworm.

If it weren't for Tie Yi's timely warning to Mo Xiaobao and the others, and ordering Qu Zhulu to force out Temujin who had come out of the depths of the desert and disappeared behind them, and because of this blizzard, I am afraid that at this time, when Sankun and the three of them were chasing Zamuhe, it was very likely that they would be successfully attacked by Temujin from behind.

"Five hundred of the best horses." With a sinister smile on his face, Sang Kun looked at Mo Xiaobao and suddenly said, "I know that Ye Qing needs a war horse now, that woman named Tie Yi has also been plundering the good horses of the small tribes we have conquered, and I don't care about these, because it is a reward for her helping me." But...... If you want to get more war horses for Ye Qing, you must defeat Zamuhe, so that you can get ....... ”

"Temujin ...... behind us." Zhong Silkworm interrupted Sang Kun's words and said impatiently.

"Let the woman in the iron coat hold Temujin in tow, and we will continue to pursue Zamuhe......." Sang Kun also impatiently interrupted Zhong Silkworm's words.

"Then do you know, if we chase down again, we will meet the Jinren, Zamuhe is not a fool, Temujin suddenly appeared behind us, it is enough to show that Zamuhe must have joined forces with Temujin, if we let Zamuhe contact Jinren again, we will be a dumpling filling!" Mo Xiaobao threw the wine jar in his hand towards Sang Kun, who looked hideous.

Almost at the same time, Sang Kun smashed the wine jar in his hand at Mo Xiaobao, and then the two got up almost at the same time and pounced on each other.

Zhong Silkworm frowned and continued to clutch the wine jar to drink, his eyes were staring at Mo Xiaobao and Sang Kun, who had been scuffling together.

If it was Mo Xiaobao before, maybe he would not be Sang Kun's opponent when he fought alone, but now Mo Xiaobao is no longer the hairy boy he was at the beginning, and when it comes to fighting alone, he can already have the upper hand in front of Sang Kun.

Just as Zhong Silkworm was wiping the wine stains on his lips, the two people who were scuffling together also began to become motionless in an instant, as if someone had clicked on the acupoint.

"Believe it or not, Lao Tzu killed you!" In Mo Xiaobao's hand, I don't know when there was an extra dagger, which was tightly attached to Sang Kun's neck at the moment, and the dagger in Sang Kun's hand was also aimed at Mo Xiaobao's heart at this time.

Looking at Mo Xiaobao's scarlet and murderous eyes, Sang Kun swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and while the Adam's apple was moving, he could clearly feel that the sharp dagger was rubbing his Adam's apple back and forth.

"What do you want?" Sang Kun felt that the dagger in Mo Xiaobao's hand was slightly away from his Adam's apple, and he was a little unwilling to take the lead in raising the dagger in Mo Xiaobao's heart, and then threw his wrist into the distance and asked.

"There are so many cattle and sheep frozen to death outside, and even some old people and children are frozen to death, how can Zhamuhe be intact?" Zhong Silkworm continued slowly: "Temujin was forced out by Qu Qu Lu, and it also caused many warriors to die in Qu Qu Lu's tribe, but this does not mean that Temujin will not continue to spy on us in secret. Now that the snow has stopped us from continuing to fight, when the snow stops, whether it is Temujin or us, or Zamuhe, we will have to rest. Whereas....... ”

Zhong Silkworm's words were interrupted by Sang Kun again: "You can say what you want to say directly, you don't have to go around." ”

"What I want to say is that this year's winter is a little colder than last year's, and we are not ready for the winter, so God began to snow heavily without warning, and countless people, cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland froze to death. Zamuhe has always had the closest relationship with the Jinren, and now that Zamuhe wants to rest as soon as possible, then he must have enough things for winter. Zhong Silkworm continued to say leisurely, he had long been accustomed to the fight between Mo Xiaobao and Sang Kun just now, and this way has now made the two of them tried and tested repeatedly, whenever there is a disagreement, as long as Sang Kun is beaten, then all the differences will be resolved.

After Zhong Silkworm finished speaking, Mo Xiaobao also slowly withdrew the dagger, picked up a jar of wine in the corner of the tent again, and then sat down and said: "Zamuhe will definitely ask the golden man for some things for the winter, and ...... Zamuhe's tribe is the closest to the Jinren's Wuzhou, and it has the best black stones for winter heating, as long as Zamuhe gets those black stones, we will grab them from their tribe, or from their transportation. ”

"Are you fools to be Temu?" Sangkun sneered.

"Didn't Temujin need anything for the winter? He has been coming and going in the depths of the desert without a trace for half a year, and he and his beggar department have perfectly withdrawn from the battle, so that we can fight with Zamuhe, not just to reap the benefits of the fisherman. And this time, if Zamuhe asks for help from the Jinren, Temujin will definitely not let go of the sneak attack on Zamuhe, and when the time comes, wouldn't it be better for us to attack Zamuhe together with Temujin? Mo Xiaobao said.

Sang Kun's gaze slowly shifted from Mo Xiaobao to Zhong Silkworm, and then from Zhong Silkworm to Mo Xiaobao, frowning and hesitating, he knew very well in his heart that Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm were absolutely selfish, and they were by no means doing everything for the sake of their Kelie Department, as they said.

"What the hell are you trying to do? I am with your Lord Ye, don't you still believe me? Sankun asked in a deep voice.

"Then you'll know what we're going to do." Mo Xiaobao sneered, and then said: "It is precisely because you and our Lord Ye are safe that we will spare no effort to help you, otherwise...... Sangkun, you have already been eaten by Temujin and Zamuhe, at this time, there are only the two largest tribes on the grassland, Qiyan and Zadaran, how can there be a place for you Sangkun! ”

"You're using me!" Sang Kun frowned.

"You're using us!" Zhong Silkworm corrected: "Look at your current Kerebu, if it weren't for our help, would your Keree be so powerful?" ”

Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm on this side finally slowly persuaded Sang Kun to accept it when he saw it, and there was no need to pursue Zamuhe at the same time, Qu Zhulu on the other side was standing in the wind and snow at this time, waiting for the summons of Yelu Yue in the warm spring tent.

As Yelu Yixue in the tent stood at the door of the tent, knocked heavily on the tent door curtain that was dozens of pounds heavy, and was shivering from the cold, he hurriedly opened a small crack in the door curtain and then quickly drilled in.

The warm breath of spring on the face, as well as the delicious aroma on the tip of the nose, make the bending law that has been frozen outside for a long time have a feeling of being in a fairyland like spring in all seasons in an instant.

Looking at Yelu Yixue, who had a cold face and a tall figure, Qu Zhulu hurriedly saluted: "I have seen General Yelu, can the last general go to see Her Royal Highness the princess now?" ”

"Wait for the chill on your body to dissipate before leaving." Yelu Yixue said expressionlessly as he looked Qu Qu Lu up and down, and when his eyes moved to Qu Qu Lu's feet, Qu Qu Lu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly took out a clean handkerchief from his arms, and began to carefully wipe the snow stains on his feet, shaking off the snow on his body that was gradually melted by the warm breath in the tent.

Looking at Qu Qu Qulu's serious and careful expression, Yelu Yixue did not stop him, but stood aside and watched quietly, until he couldn't feel the cold air on Qu Qu Lulu's body brought in from the outside, then nodded silently, and motioned Qu Qu Lulu to follow him to the depths of Nuoda's tent.

The thick white bear skin was spread on a wide chair, the curling green smoke on the desk exuded a faint fragrance, and there were a few bright flowers around her, Yeluyue, who was wearing a white fur coat, had black hair hanging down naturally at the back of her head, only a few strands of disobedient hair, some of which were messy from her forehead and fell to her chest.

As the princess of Xiliao, Yelu Yue raised her head slightly and glanced at Yelu Yixue who walked in, as well as Qu Zhulu behind her, and then continued to bow her head, looking at the letterhead signed Su Xin in her hand, and next to the letterhead, there was a richly decorated wooden box, and inside the wooden box, there were snow-white pearls that exuded millilight.

"The last general Qu Qu Lu has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." As soon as Qu Zhulu's words came out, he immediately choked up with a hint of choking, as if he had been wronged outside.

"How's it going?" Yelu Yue asked without raising her head, looking at the letterhead in her hand seriously, and from time to time the corners of her mouth would appear because of the content in the letterhead, and then a knowing smile appeared.

"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the last general has lived up to His Royal Highness's expectations and has completely driven out the Temujin tribe." Qu Julu glanced up at Yelu Yue, who continued to lower her head, and then said in a more aggrieved tone: "But...... Your Highness, the last general's clan suffered heavy losses in the process of blocking Temujin this time, and the last general ...... The last general asked His Highness to see the loyalty of the last general, and ordered the last general to take his people to rest and recuperate, so that they could continue to serve His Highness after the spring of next year. ”

"I'll talk about it later, or ......." Yeluyue finally raised her head, her eyes that seemed to be filled with water were extremely bright, and she thought for a moment and said, "Do you want Princess Ben to personally face that Temujin?" Do you know that if you leave now, there will be no one to use under this princess, and ....... Yelu Yue looked around, only those few bright flowers, as for the windy blizzard outside, it did not appear in her sight: "Heavy snow, strong winds, even if you want to rest, you need to wait for the snow to stop, wait for the boundless army led by General Yelu to rest and change the guard." ”

"Your Highness, but the clan of the last general has indeed suffered heavy losses......." As soon as Qu Julu remembered Temujin's distant gaze at him, he felt as if he was alone and was being targeted by a pack of wolves, and his whole body was instantly filled with a chilling feeling.

"Well, Princess Ben knows. Oh, by the way, to reward you for your bravery this time, I will give you a handful of pearls, which are rare and fine pearls, and one is already worth a fortune. Ye Luyue said as she reached out from the wooden box next to her, like grabbing beans, grabbed a handful of pearls, put them into a black pocket without even counting them, and then threw them to Qu Qu Lu, who was about to cry.

Qu Zhulu took those pearls, and couldn't cry or laugh for a while, if it was in the Great Liao Country, he might be ecstatic because the princess rewarded these pearls, but now in the grassland desert, he really doesn't know what these things that only girls will like, what can be used on the battlefield now!

Could it be that with these pearls, you can bargain with Temujin, or ...... The heavy pearl made Qu Qu Lu, who only wanted to preserve the strength of his tribe, feel like he was getting chicken ribs.

But even if it is a chicken rib, Qu Zhulu can only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach in front of Her Royal Highness the princess, who is now in charge of the power of the Great Liaobei Mansion, and thank Her Royal Highness the princess for the reward with a smile.
