Chapter Twenty-Eight: Xu Zhen Treads the River to Conquer People's Hearts
After Xu Zhen left the camp, he asked Zhang Jiunian to preside over the overall situation, after all, Li Mingda was in the camp, and he had to be vigilant against the wild captives in front and the chasing soldiers in the rear.
The reason why the two strategies are two-pronged, Xu Zhen also thinks a lot, but let Gao Heshu return to the camp halfway to report, which has to make Zhang Jiunian feel a little uneasy and suspicious, but it is a matter of public security, and Zhang Jiunian has to discuss it with Li Mingda and Li Dexian.
To his surprise, Li Mingda stood on Xu Zhen's side very decisively, so the brothers hurriedly pulled out the camp and got on the horse, led by Gao Heshu, and galloped to help Xu Zhen.
The horse was only four or five miles away, and the news came from the Rouran scouts in front that they had encountered a large number of wild cavalry!
Zhang Jiunian's heart sank, and he hurriedly patted his horse to look at it from a high place, but saw a clear water river like a blue ribbon on the grassland, and a large camp tent on the opposite bank was like white clouds, and on this side of the riverbank, between the pile of rocks and the half-human high water grass, Xu Zhen was as tall as a gun, standing proudly with a horizontal knife, and the one dressed as a shepherd girl and wild woman beside him was not Caesar!
The strange thing is that in front of Xu Zhen, there were seven or eight herdsmen kneeling neatly, and behind these herdsmen, a team of knights, about fifty or sixty people, was rolling in!
With the soldiers and horses in Zhang Jiunian's hands, once the Red Armor Brothers and the Rouran Knights charged, these fifty or sixty wild captives would not be enough to stuff their teeth at all, but if they alarmed the camp tents on the other side, it would be troublesome.
Based on the size of this tribe's camp, at least more than 300 young cavalry and archers can be gathered, and after the large-scale conflict breaks out, even if the siege of Xu Zhen can be temporarily relieved, sooner or later it will be dragged to death by the cavalry and archers of this tribe!
When he was hesitating, Zhang Jiunian found that the long knife in Xu Zhen's hand was unintentionally waved in the air a few times, and his heart suddenly tightened, this is the banner of **, which means to keep his troops still!
Xu Zhen had already silently calculated the return time of Gao Heshu, and thought that it was almost over, so he secretly paid attention to the changes around him, and saw that Gao Po was wearing red armor, which was the same for a long time, and hurriedly used the long knife to signal it to retreat temporarily.
Only then did he put down his long knife, and the opposing knight had already surrounded him and Caesar.
The young man and many warriors on the ground noticed the arrival of the same clan, and hurriedly got up, but their faces were still full of excitement and excitement, and there was no shame, obviously they were convinced of Xu Zhen's identity as the son of the god of fire.
The wild captives riding a black horse are about forty, sturdy and swarthy, with a curled beard, huge silver rings on his earlobes, and silver bells jingling on his body, he should be the elder of the clan.
The others did not have the courage of this elder, listening to the young man and the seven or eight witnesses present explain it so eloquently, and then looking at the black embers on Xu Zhen's long knife, smelling the sulfur fire breath that still remained in the air, they became more and more convinced, and had already put down the blade in their hands.
Xu Zhen raised his head slightly, looking directly at the elder, his eyes were deep and wise, as if he wanted to see through the secret of the other party's heart, the man was also taken aback, and quickly avoided Xu Zhen's gaze.
Caesar had already developed a tacit understanding with Xu Zhen, and at this moment he took half a step forward and shouted at the man: "Who is coming!" Seeing the son of Ahula, why is he arrogant and not dismounting! ”
Xu Zhen's left hand was in unbearable pain, but since Kaisa had already spoken, in order to deter these people, he had to take advantage of the fact that these people's attention was attracted by Kaisa, and secretly wiped the leather bag on his waist and rubbed out a fire pill.
When the dark horse man saw Caesar's words, his heart suddenly sank, because he could feel the strong smell of blood on Caesar's body, this woman looked as beautiful as the moon in the sky, but she didn't know how many lives she had lost!
Xu Zhen took advantage of the man's distraction, he shouted violently, and when he was in the spotlight, his left hand flicked lightly on the blade, and there was a crisp sound, and the fire pill was excited, and a small flame suddenly appeared on his two fingers, jumping vividly, like an elf!
"Boom!"
The knights on the opposite side brushed and rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, the so-called hearing is false, seeing is believing, Xu Vacuum hand summons the flames, it is simply the power of gods and ghosts, and it is beyond the reach of ordinary people!
The black horse man's face changed greatly, and after jumping off the horse, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and called Xu Zhen: "Slave Wulie greets Yeerbo!" ”
Xu Zhen bared his teeth secretly, snuffed out the flames on his fingers, and then said loudly: "I traveled all over the world, and suddenly I was inspired by God at night, and I came straight to the west, I want to bring blessings to the people of the grassland, why do you hide the fierce blood, do you want to put the people in the sword and blood?!" ”
Although Tuyuhun often has trade contacts with the Xiliang border, and even the official system imitates the Tang Dynasty, many people on the Kubel grassland can understand the Tang language, but as soon as Xu Zhen opened his mouth like this, they were confused one by one, and it was difficult to understand the meaning, and they secretly thought that the Son of God was broad and profound, and they worshiped more and more in their hearts.
As early as when the silver wolf boy and the others knelt down, Caesar told Xu Zhen the results of his sneak investigation, and there was a lot of blood in the camp here, and there were women in the camp boiling herbs, and there must be wounded who needed treatment.
Although it was impossible to determine whether Murong Xiao was in the camp, Xu Zhen said that there was a sign of murderous blood here, but it shocked Wu Lie and the others, and they all thought that Xu Zhen had the mind of an unpredictable prophet!
Thinking of this, Wu Lie trembled and replied: "The slave didn't mean to offend Ye Erbo, it is true that the elders of the clan have a synergistic alliance with the Murong family, and now the wolf son of the Murong family has brought the blood disaster back to our clan, but he has driven the young and strong people in our clan to make cattle and horses for him, and if he wants to intercept the male master of the Heavenly Empire, Wu Lie is also powerless!" ”
Xu Zhen originally wanted to scare these wild captives, but he didn't expect to cheat Murong Xiao's whereabouts so easily, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, but the surface was light and light, his brows frowned slightly, and then he waved his hand at Wu Lie and the others: "Since I have been inspired by God, I will not let you and others suffer from the wolf and the sword, and lead me back to the camp, and wait for the deity to dispose of the wolf for you, and the right to eliminate disasters and avoid disasters." ”
Kaisa had never seen Xu Zhen pretending to be a magic stick, looking at his exaggerated performance and the pious and believing attitude of the wild captives, he couldn't help snickering in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack, he just silently felt that it was funny, and then looked at Xu Zhen, but he was like a naughty child, which made people feel approachable.
When these herdsmen heard that Xu Zhen, a divine envoy, wanted to help them eliminate disasters and pray for blessings, and they were willing to deal with Murong Xiao, the fierce master, they were naturally happy in their hearts, but Wu Lie was embarrassed.
Their clan is very small, and Ping Suri can only rely on the Murong tribe to obtain a piece of grassland to survive, which is also the reason why they are unwilling to offend the Murong family and let the Murong family send the young and strong people in the clan to join the army every year.
Now Murong Xiao and thirty or forty light horsemen suddenly came to visit, wantonly called on the precious medicines in the clan, and even asked the patriarch's wife to serve them personally, and his Wulie daughter was also pulled to the camp to treat Murong Xiao and the others' injuries.
Wu Lie is a warrior, if he is alone, he will have to fight Murong Xiao to the death, but they need to take into account the interests of the entire clan, they must not and dare not tear their faces with the Murong family.
He, like everyone else, saw hope in Xu Zhen, but he also knew very well that no matter the divine envoy or the miracle, it could only bring courage to them, but not strength, no matter how powerful Xu Zhen was, there were only two people, him and Caesar, how could they compete with the Murong family?
Everyone saw that Wu Lie was silent for a long time, and did not dare to reply to Ye Erbo, and they were indignant in their hearts, they were all young and strong young men, they were all the hope of the future of the clan, they had long been disgusted with living under the oppression of the Murong family, Xu Zhen's arrival was undoubtedly a turning point in their fate, this was the will of the God of Fire!
It was the god of fire who sent Yelbo to inspire them to burn away the humiliations of the past before they could usher in a new life!
Caesar was born in the grassland, grew up in the grassland, and was very clear about the forces of the various tribes on the grassland, seeing Wu Lie's behavior like this, thinking of the Murong family's plain style, she quickly understood the difficulties of this swarthy man, she attached her ear to Xu Zhen, and whispered the key to it.
Xu Zhen couldn't help but sigh softly when he heard this, his face did not hide the disappointment in his heart, he shook his head, and made a gesture to abandon the crowd.
Everyone couldn't bear to be indignant, but the silver wolf young man suddenly stood up straight, his face was resolute, and he gritted his teeth and said to Xu Zhen: "Yeerbo go slowly!" Yinzong is willing to follow Yeerbo! ”
This young man named Yinzong took his silver wolf, ignored the stunned gaze of the clansmen, and quickly followed Xu Zhen!
He has been accompanied by wolves since he was a child, and in the tribe with wolves as totems, his status can be imagined, but instead of being pampered, he has been contaminated with wolf nature, tenacious and unyielding, free and rebellious, and he has long been unable to stand the oppression of the Murong family!
The scene of Xu Zhen fighting with the wolf, the miracle of the fire turning into a fierce knife, and the power of the flame summoned by his fingers, all left an indelible mark on the heart of this young man!
What Xu Zhen did was like opening a door for this teenager, allowing him to see another world, colorful, free, and full of dreams!
His eyes were full of yearning for freedom, which made Xu Zhen couldn't help but be moved, he wanted to take the opportunity to leave here, return to the high slope, and then let Zhang Jiunian raid and take down Murong Xiao and the more than thirty cavalry with lightning speed, but now, he finally has to use his secret arrangement!
He cast an appreciative glance at Yinzong, then patted the latter's shoulder, and laughed loudly: "What a wolf blood child!" Wait for the deity to fetch the water of Sal and wash away the worldly captivity for you, so that you can run like a wolf and leopard, and soar like a falcon! ”
Xu Zhen glanced at Yinzong's body, and saw that there was a horn silver pot around his waist, so he stretched out his hand to wipe it, but his fingers had already secretly clamped the knife and cut off the kettle rope, and the silver pot naturally fell into his hands.
This is a common technique in illusion, but in the eyes of these savages, it has become another immortal method!
Xu Zhen didn't think so, holding the silver kettle in one hand, walked to the edge of the river beach step by step, and then stuck to the water surface, and slowly walked to the center of the river! (Note 1)
"It's... That's impossible! Wu Lie suddenly startled, as if the thunder struck his soul on a sunny day, watching Xu Zhen walk on the water step by step, like a mortal oracle, everyone felt that they knew nothing about this world!
Yinzong looked at Xu Zhen's back, and suddenly burst into tears, as if he saw that God was affirming his choice, and it was God who was firming his path to pursue freedom!
When Xu Zhen walked back from the river, everyone fell to their knees, and he sprinkled the water from the silver pot on everyone's bodies, and then shouted angrily: "Get up for me!" ”
Everyone stood up suddenly, but saw Xu Zhen grab Yinzong's hand, raise it high, and shout with an awe-inspiring face: "People are born free, who is destined to kneel and worship others, and who is willing to be a cow and a horse!" ”
