"General, we are supposed to have arrived, but we have come so far that we don't seem to be close to any small town or any other place."

Yuan Xi asked, "You said we went wrong?" ”

"Probably." Ten guards all came around, all of them were a little embarrassed, and looked at Yuan Xi silently.

Yuan Xi said: "Bring the compass and show it to me." ”

Soon someone handed the compass to Yuan Xi, Yuan Xi fiddled around, couldn't see anything famous, and asked the guard in front of him, "Is there anyone who understands this compass?" ”

A guard came out and said: "I will use it, it looks like it is not broken, but I don't know what this compass should have looked like before." ”

Yuan Xi's brows furrowed, and he said for a long time: "Let's continue to move forward, and then take a look at the situation, whether it is a mistake or not, it is still two words." ”

"Yes, General." The ten guards looked at Yuan Xi with the horse, and they didn't understand anything anyway, but now of course Yuan Xi said whatever he wanted.

The snow dog pulled the sleigh and carried everyone on, Yuan Xi's mood was unusually heavy, he always felt that he had been deceived somewhere, this feeling was magical, as if he was being pulled to death by someone, everything was designed.

But after thinking about it, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, everything is normal.

Hell, what the hell went wrong?

"Xianyi." The sound of the wind whirring in his ears swept by, and Yuan Xi, who was still in deep thought, was interrupted by a soft voice.

"Aunt Liu." Aunt Liu, who was wrapped in the quilt in Yuan Xi's arms, "What's wrong with you?" Feeling unwell? ”

"It's not." Liu Gu shook her head silently and said softly, "Are we on the wrong path?" ”

"No," Yuan Xi comforted, "It may be that there is a mistake in the calculation, the distance is still a little short, we should be there soon." ”

Liu Gu nodded and said softly: "This heavy snow is extraordinary, we can walk slowly, I can hold on." ”

"Hmm." Yuan Xi put the quilt on her head, and Aunt Liu didn't say anything more.

Having said that, Yuan Xi still felt in his heart that they might really be on the wrong path.

Sure enough, after walking for a long while, they still didn't see anything, and everyone stopped again.

The leading guard walked to Yuan Xi's side and said with a serious face: "General, it seems that we have really gone wrong, if the compass is correct, we should have already arrived in the town in front." ”

"So the compass is broken."

The leading guard hung his head and remained silent.

Yuan Xi said loudly: "Take the compass." ”

The guards looked at him suspiciously, but handed him the compass anyway.

Yuan Xi looked at the compass for a while, pointed in the direction and said, "If the compass points in the wrong direction, then we should always follow the wrong direction and keep moving forward." So according to the direction of this reversal, it should be our route back. ”

"Theoretically, that's so." The head of the guard said: "There are two directions, one must lead to that town, and the other leads to another place, the general is basically sure that there is something wrong with this compass now." What do you see us? ”

Yuan Xi sighed: "Shaman? Do you know what a Xianbei shaman does? ”

"It seems to be a priest, I don't know much about the specifics."

Priest? Yuan Xi remembered some fragments in his mind, but they were all scattered, but they were not good information.

Grandma's, it can't be pitted by the priests, right? The more Yuan Xi thinks about it, the more likely it is, the priest is the guardian of the totem, and he destroyed Xianbei himself, and it is not natural for the priest to calculate himself?

It just so happened that I gave such an opportunity.

He was just about to throw away the compass, but he stopped again and said to the leader of the guards: "You take a few people, take the compass, and go in the other direction, and I will lead the people to that side." If you can find a place, hurry up and send someone out to rescue you. ”

The commander of the guards said in a panic: "General, this can't be helped, if we miss the place and encounter some dangers, how can we change it?"

"I have made up my mind, you set off with five people, and the rest will follow me. If you don't walk blindly, you don't know when you will go. ”

At Yuan Xi's insistent request, the commander of the guards had no choice but to take the five people away, but no matter what Yuan Xi said, they didn't want the compass, so they had to give it to Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi didn't have too much politeness, it was originally polite, in this snowy day, there was no compass, and he didn't know which direction was right. He needs a compass, even if the compass may have been designed to be trapped.

changed direction, everyone's mood was not very good, Yuan Xi's mood was also unusually depressed, but he didn't expect that there would be no blizzard, and he was finally calculated.

What a last resort, what a high priest.

If he was able to go back this time, the first thing Yuan Xi did was to uproot the so-called priests of the grassland and never tolerate them.

Aunt Liu stayed quietly in the quilt and didn't make any sound, but Yuan Xi knew that Aunt Liu was awake, and Aunt Liu could hear what they said before, but at this time, Yuan Xi had no choice, these words could only be heard by her.

Time passed slowly, and it was dark in a blink of an eye.

There is no rest, and there is no place to rest, but fortunately, because it is a snowy night, it is white everywhere, and there is no way to hurry because of the night.

"Wooh..."

A terrible howl came from afar.

Yuan Xi could feel the snow dog in front of him pause.

"General, there seems to be a snow wolf." The guard stopped and said to Yuan Xi.

"Snow wolf?" Yuan Xi asked, "Have you seen this thing?" ”

"When the large army acted together, I encountered it, it was a social creature, many of them lived together, and since there was a snow wolf howling in front, there should be more than one."

"Turn around and go the other way."

"General, do you mean we're going back?" The guard asked cautiously.

"If you don't go back, can you fight the snow wolf?"

The guard hesitated and did not speak.

At this time, the blizzard has completely stopped, there is no wind, and everything around seems silent.

Yuan Xi thought for a long time, and finally said, "How many snow wolves are there?" ”

"There are usually up to a dozen of them."

"Since there is a snow wolf nearby, does it mean that there is also a village or a small town?"

"In the steppe, that's how it should be. It's just that it's hard to know for sure if there is one. ”

"Are you afraid?" Yuan Xi touched the cold weapon in his hand, and a stream of hot blood rose from the soles of his feet.

"Don't be afraid." The five guards shouted.

"Very good," Yuan Xi changed his mind again, "keep going." Be ready to fight at any time, and when the time comes, I will give you the task of taking out at least two snow wolves by one person, and leaving the rest to me. ”
