Seeing off the young messenger of Agoura, Guo Yang sat in the tent and drank wine all afternoon, depressed.

Anu and Naren Toya approached the tent several times, but hesitated not to enter.

They knew that Guo Yang must have encountered a major event that was difficult to decide, otherwise, in his usual style, he would have called everyone to sit down, drink, narrate, and be happy.

After all, Naren Toya is back, Qizig is back, and his son Guo Khan is meeting for the first time, which is a great joy for Guo Yang's family, and it should also be a great joy for the Tengger tribe.

In the evening, Guo Yang rode a black horse, alone, and walked loosely into the distance.

The twilight was blank, and his back was especially lonely.

Anu, Naren Toya, Ah Jiu and others watched from afar, and no one spoke.

After a small victory, Guo Yang was depressed, obviously, related to the content of the negotiation.

Everyone's hearts were clouded with a haze, and there was a bad premonition.

……

On a hillside, Guo Yang dismounted and stood for a long time.

He was looking to the north.

It is said that there are forests, grasslands, seas, snow-capped mountains, desert Gobi deserts, large tracts of arable land and barren mountains.

Passing through these, the Far North is a snowy wasteland.

There should also be people living in the north, but I heard that they are all similar to the ghost people, with red hair and blue eyes, tall bodies, and fierce and abnormal.

These are all things that Guo Yang learned through the old patriarch Jida, the young envoy, and the classics of the demon race, but he didn't know the specific situation at all.

Guo Yang didn't know how big the world was, and he could only think about the distance.

However, the current north is not peaceful, which makes him a little worried.

According to the young messenger, a group of monsters emerged from the north, burning and plundering along the way, and all the places they passed through were scorched to earth.

The young envoy had never seen what those monsters were, and it seemed that only Agoura and Chagan had gone to investigate, and as a result, they returned seriously injured.

What the envoy said vaguely was all speculated by Guo Yang.

Those two people must be cultivators, and their strength is definitely not under Guo Yang, and they can't retreat with their whole body, so it can be seen that those monsters are indeed terrifying.

The Ananda River valley has fallen, and Agoura's men and horses have migrated long distances on the grassland, and on the way, many cattle, sheep and horses have died, and their vitality has been greatly damaged, and they have actually lost the ability to attack Guo Yang.

In such a situation, they dared to brazenly attack the Tengger tribe and Guo Yang's military camp, which shows that Agoura himself is still quite confident.

Fortunately, the two charges knocked out the arrogance of the other party, otherwise, there might have been a few fierce battles to the death.

The situation is too complicated, making it difficult for Guo Yang to judge accurately.

His original intention was to conquer the Ananda River valley and completely eradicate Agoura from the grassland, and then slowly grow and become the sole overlord of this grassland.

Only in this way did these people he brought out have a head.

Those are some unwilling people, young, energetic, and dreamy, Guo Yang is willing to lead them to create a large foundation.

In the farming tribes, these remnants of merchants were severely suppressed and restricted, and their lives were miserable and hopeless.

So, they tried everything they could to escape and enter this grassland.

In several successive encounters, Guo Yang chopped off the greedy claws of those farming tribesmen, just to buy time for himself to conquer the grassland, so he was ruthless and killed 10,000 or 20,000 people without mercy.

Now, however, there is a crisis from the north.

Dealing with farming tribes, Guo Yang has a way, whether it is conspiracy or military conquest, he is fully confident that he will beat those dogs and mothers into shit, because he is too familiar with that land.

However, for those northern monsters, Guo Yang has no bottom in his heart.

Is it human? Is it a beast? Or is it a demon? He didn't know about those monsters.

Guo Yang's people once arrived at a lake in the north, where it is said that the scenery is extremely beautiful, and there are some backward and fierce human tribes. Judging from the last time the message came back, those Terran tribes were also wiped out by those monsters.

In order to find his mother Guo Ye, Guo Yang once sent a large number of people, and there were his own people in the south, east and west.

Now, however, the message from the north has been cut off, which makes him even more worried.

"Northern...... What the hell is going on? Guo Yang sighed secretly.

……

In the middle of the night, Guo Yang returned to the tent, sat alone and drank for a while, and summoned Anu, the old patriarch Jida, and Mr. Wild Fox.

There are situations where the more he knows, the better.

He didn't let Naren Toya into the tent.

Guo Yang's suspicions became more and more serious, Naren Tuoya had just returned from Agoura's camp, and he didn't know what had happened in the past two years, so he didn't want Naren Tuoya to know about some confidential matters.

The more things you experience, the most suspicious thing is the human heart.

Anu had already stewed a large number of hand-grabbed mutton, and waited for Guo Yang to come back and eat.

As long as he is by Guo Yang's side, he will do all this silently, never with fake hands.

The old patriarch Jida and Mr. Wild Fox came, they seemed to be able to feel the solemn atmosphere, and when they entered the tent, they were silent, and sat directly on the leopard skin opposite Guo Yang.

The wine is mare's milk wine, steamed and dried nine times, with a hint of the sun.

"Old Gida, tell me all about the North." Guo Yang drank for a while and said.

"High Priest, about the ...... of the North In fact, Old Jeddah doesn't know much, and most of it is something that has been passed down from generation to generation. After all, for hundreds of years, we steppe people have never been to the north, and those monsters on the northern snowfields have never entered the grassland. The old patriarch Jida brought a handful of wine, looking preoccupied.

"There is an ancient legend of the Tengger tribe that six hundred years ago, the king of the merchants destroyed the Xia and exiled the king of the Xia people. According to legend, the Shang king originally wanted to banish the Xia king to the south, because the Xia people's lair was in the north, and the ancient god they believed in was a black dragon, and only when they went to the south could they use the power of heaven and earth to suppress it forever. ”

Unexpectedly, on the way to exile, the Xia King named Lu Gui escaped with the help of the tribal elders, and went all the way north into the vast snowfield. Since then, there has been no news of it. ”

"The ancestor of our Tengger tribe used to be a vassal of the Xia people, but he was not a descendant, so he has never been valued by them. According to the oral tradition of the tribal patriarchs, after the king of the Xia people escaped into the northern snowfield, he turned his body into the body of the black dragon that slept underground, and after a long time of tempering, the ancient black dragon would be resurrected. ”

Guo Yang frowned, holding a jue of wine, and listened carefully to the old patriarch Jida's narration.

If it weren't for Lao Jida telling the secret story of the change of dynasty that year, Guo Yang would never have imagined that the northern snow field was related to the Great Xia Dynasty, which dominated the Central Plains back then, and he would never have imagined that after the Xia people destroyed the country, the last king fled to the north.

Old Jida's words have a certain credibility, because, as the former overlord of this grassland, the successive patriarchs of the Tengger tribe must still have mastered many similar dynastic secrets.

"Old Gilda, how much do you know about that black dragon?" Guo Yang asked suddenly.

"The ancestors of the Xia people, with the black dragon as the ancestor. However, after the founding of the farming tribe of the Xia people, in order to confuse those people of the farming tribe, they pretended to be descendants of the Yellow Dragon, in order to prevent those with ill intentions from finding the north and destroying the dragon vein. At the same time, Huang Long's statement made it easier for those people in the farming tribe to believe that the ancestors of the Xia people belonged to the same bloodline as them, and of course it was easier to gain a foothold in the land of the farming tribe. Old Patriarch Jida shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"Black Dragon...... Does it really exist? Guo Yang frowned and asked.

Fake background, this kind of trick is easy to understand, Guo Yang himself has used this trick, to control people, you must first control people's hearts, which is understandable.

But Guo Yang has always been skeptical about the gods, demons and witches, after all, it is no longer the era of cultivation, and many things that are rumored to be divine seem a little suspicious.

"Not only did it exist, but it also revealed its true body. My grandfather's grandfather's grandfather saw it with his own eyes. The old patriarch Jida replied with great certainty.

"Oh? Let's talk about it! Guo Yang sat up straight suddenly, and said with a straight face.

"That was more than a hundred years ago, and my grandfather's grandfather was the most powerful man in this grassland, and his arrows could hit hawkeyes a hundred and fifty paces away. In order to chase an injured golden-eyed eagle, he rode a fast horse to track all the way, and was about to catch up, but was blocked by a large sea. ”

"That piece of water is too vast to see at a glance, and it is said that it is the birthplace of the ancestors of the Xia people, and the locals call it Dragon Lake. The golden-eyed eagle flew over the water, and looked back at my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather mockingly, when suddenly a white wave appeared on the surface of the lake, and a black whirlwind was wrapped in the waves, and in the blink of an eye, the golden-eyed eagle was gone. ”

"My grandfather's grandfather's grandfather was terrified, and he could see clearly that the black whirlwind was a dragon's claw, as fast as lightning, and it directly swallowed the golden-eyed eagle to the bottom of the water. He turned the horse's head and ran all the way until the horse was tired and collapsed, and then he crawled all the way back to the grassland. ”

The old patriarch Jida drank slowly, like a bad old man, and talked eloquently, which made Guo Yang, Anu and Mr. Wild Fox thrilling.

"And then?" Guo Yang couldn't help but ask.

"Later...... Later my grandfather's grandfather fled back to the steppe and died not long after. It is said that before he died, he refused to close his frightened eyes and repeatedly warned the Tengger people not to go near the water. Old Patriarch Gidda said.

"Longhu? How far is that water from the Ananda River? Guo Yang asked.

"I don't know, since that incident, the grassland people have mentioned that piece of water like a forbidden place." Old Patriarch Jida said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Wild Fox, where is Longhu, you are a master and well-informed, you should know." Guo Yang turned his head and asked.

"Longhu Lake, in fact, is the North Sea, the locals call it Bekar Haizi, Haizi is the term of the nomadic tribe of the steppe, in the farming tribe, it is the meaning of the lake." Mr. Wild Fox said, it seemed that he was also preoccupied, and even, on his always breezy face, there was a hint of gloom and fear.
