At the beginning of the autumn rains, the water vapor is suspended low above the thatch, dyeing the prairie into a cloud, like a dream, people can't bear to ride the horse, so as not to destroy this beautiful scenery.

Although he was pursued, Li Defei watched and listened to all directions, and did not ignore Murong Xiao's whereabouts, this time he repelled the Qibi tribesmen who pretended to be Tugu Hun Ye, and the indignation in his heart turned into endless power, and he led the front with the Rouran scout, and followed the footprints and slowly found the clues of Murong Xiao!

According to the analysis of the horse's hoof prints, Murong Xiao seems to have received reinforcements, and it is speculated from the horse's hooves that the number is within thirty, and the hoof prints are shallow, obviously not a soldier, and he is lightly armed, and it seems that he is heading towards Murong Ministry.

The reason why Xu Zhen chose to pursue Murong Xiao also had another purpose, with Murong Xiao's life and death experience, he would definitely return to the clan after escaping, and even if he couldn't intercept Murong Xiao halfway, he would be able to find out the exact location of Murong Xiao, so that Xu Zhen's task would be completed.

However, Murong Xiao was the wolf of the grassland, he was very vigilant, and after chasing for three or four days, a white-headed mountain appeared in the distance of the grassland, towering and holy, but Xu Zhen's team was stopped by a water ze.

According to Takagashu and others, this is the Kushan Mountain, surrounded by nomadic tribes, and after entering this area, the subordinate tribes of Tuyuhun will become dense, and it will become very difficult for them to pass through.

Moreover, Murong Xiao's receiving team deliberately stepped on the river, washed away the footprints, and landed on the opposite bank from nowhere, which was extremely laborious to search.

Rouran people live and die on the grassland, they are extremely familiar with the survival of the grassland, and there must be herdsmen tribes along the river, maybe Murong Xiao's team will choose to stay, after all, he is seriously injured, if he continues to flee, the iron body will also collapse.

Xu Zhen asked his brothers to find a low-lying depression and set up a camp tent on the terrain, but he took off his military armor, changed into the costume of a wild herdsman, walked downstream, and investigated first.

Zhang Jiunian and others are full of the temperament of the Han people in the Central Plains, and the brothers are controlled by someone who needs them, so Xu Zhen only brought Kaisa and Gao Heshu on this trip, and was protected by fierce people like Zhou Cang and Li Dexian, Xu Zhen was not too worried about Li Mingda's safety.

The three of them covered their faces with scarves and walked slowly along the river, and large areas of cattle, sheep and horses began to appear along the way.

Takaga Shu and Caesar were agitated, and as if they had returned to their hometown, their faces had become better.

After walking for half an hour, a large meadow on the left side of the river bank appeared like white clouds, and the shepherds rode their horses around leisurely.

These shepherds were very alert, but Xu Zhen and the three of them came prepared, and soon hid behind the pile of rocks on the river beach, and after watching the number of tents from afar, Gao Heshu quickly judged the general number and combat strength of this tribe, and Xu Zhen couldn't help frowning.

Caesar refined the assassination technique, which was just effective at this moment, and without Xu Zhenduo's instructions, the cat's waist went down the river, and with the help of the cover of the long grass and rocks on the river beach, he made a twists and turns all the way, and successfully infiltrated the tribal tent here.

Xu Zhen looked at the camp tent on the opposite bank, and then looked at the river surface in front of him that was more than ten zhang wide, swept the pile of rocks on the river beach, and suddenly had a bold idea, and hurriedly asked Gao He Shu Haosheng to do it, without Kaisa as an interpreter, even the gesture and performance, it took a lot of effort to make Gao He Shu understand the main idea, so that he could quickly return, but he took off his clothes and dived into the shallow river!

When Xu Zhen was preparing closely, Caesar had already stolen the herdsmen's clothes, covered her head and face, held a clay pot in her arms, and walked among the large tents with her head down, instantly blending into the life here, as if she was a laboring woman born and raised here, ordinary and unusual, but she had already memorized what she had seen and heard.

Although the river is wide, it is not very deep, and Xu Zhen once challenged David Bryan's underwater breath-holding record in New York (Note 1), although it has failed, but there is no doubt about his diving ability.

He shuttled through the river like a nimble mermaid, and he didn't forget to look at the surroundings when he was ventilating halfway, and by the time everything under the water was arranged, half an hour had passed.

Xu Zhen came ashore, dressed neatly, and wanted to go downstream to meet Caesar, but his heart was cold, and an extremely strong sense of crisis swelled, and there was a strong smell of beasts in the breeze on the river beach, and the war horses hidden in the rocks and grass became restless!

Xu Zhen raised her head suddenly, but she saw that Caesar, who had changed her dress, had an anxious face, and rushed over, and after seeing Xu Zhen, she hurriedly shouted: "Run!" ”

Before he came back to his senses, Xu Zhen had already been pushed to the side by Kaisa, and a gray shadow had already pounced on Kaisa's back!

At this time, Xu Zhen saw clearly that the animal chasing Caesar was taller than an ordinary shepherd dog, with a silver-gray fur as smooth as silk, but it was a real adult wolf!

"How is that possible!"

Xu Zhenzhen's head shook suddenly, there were cattle and sheep all around here, but there was no frightened herd, on the other hand, there was a silver ring around the left front paw and wrist of this wolf, which was clearly a man-made wolf!

Although he didn't know the reason, but now was not a good time to scrutinize, Xu Zhen saw that Caesar was attacked in the back, and the three blood marks were shocking, so he immediately pulled out a long knife, took a few steps, and slashed at the waist of the silver wolf!

The so-called copper-headed iron bone tofu waist, the lumbar vertebrae are the weakness of the wolf, and the treasure knife in Xu Zhen's hand is sharpened like clay, once hit, it is bound to cut this fang in two!

However, this wolf seems to be quite alert and extremely sensitive to popularity, so he actually gave up chasing Caesar, slid sideways and fell out, rolling on the ground for more than a foot, only then stabilized his posture, bowed his head and coveted Xu Zhen!

"Are you alright?"

Xu Zhen turned his head slightly and asked, Kaisa resolutely stood up, regardless of the injury behind him, crossed the two blades in his hand, moved to Xu Zhen's side, stretched out his eyes to the back of the silver wolf, and said in a deep voice: "Be careful, they are all ruthless masters..."

After Caesar finished speaking, seven or eight herdsmen dressed as wild captives suddenly burst out from behind the pile of stones, or holding longbows, or turning scimitars, or carrying maces on their shoulders, their faces fierce and full of hostility and hatred, and one of them was a seventeen or eighteen boy who boldly stroked the head of the silver wolf, showing that he was the main owner of the silver wolf!

"Allallah!" The slender spear in the hand of the leader was pointed directly at Xu Zhen and Caesar, and the fingers of the bending bow were about to be released, but Xu Zhen had already touched the flying knife in his hand, and the sharp blade came out of his hand, hitting the cheek of the bending bow, and the feather arrow grazed the corner of Caesar's eyes, and it was extremely dangerous!

The man who bent the bow fell backwards after being stabbed, covering his face, blood kept pouring out from his fingers, and everyone was shocked on the spot, and after a moment it suddenly became angry, waving his blade and rushing forward!

The boy let go of the silver wolf's neck, and the latter roared and roared, and the fishy wind came to his face!

Xu Zhen judged the situation, only to face the difficulties, once he escaped, even if he was not besieged to death, he would be torn off from the back by the silver wolf!

The long knife was shocked, he did not retreat but advanced, and unfolded the essence of the knife technique passed on by Zhou Cang, and the slender horizontal knife in his hand swept and slashed unscrupulously, completely relying on the edge of the blade, so that those wild captives could not get close at all!

However, Caesar's back was injured, and the blood was very thick, and the silver wolf pursued him, and Caesar was a pair of short blades, where could he resist it!

At the critical moment, Xu Zhen was in a hurry, grabbed a handful of yellow silt from the leather bag on his waist, smeared it on the blade, and secretly took down the flint, hid it in the palm of his hand, and deliberately recited the mantra quickly in English, and wiped the blade into the palm of his hand, and ignited the fireworks with a bang!

The silver wolf is not afraid of the golden iron blade, but is afraid of the flames, Xu Zhen smeared the refined gunpowder handed over to him by the cliff on the blade, and then secretly ignited it with flint, this hand is dark and secret, and the technique is unpredictable, not only forced the silver wolf to retreat, but even many wild captives were so frightened that they stopped!

If it was usual, Caesar would have been surprised, but she had followed the cliff for many years and had a good understanding of the fire method, Xu Zhen was in urgent need, and his hands were not prepared with any protective measures, and if the gunpowder was ignited at this time, his palm would definitely be burned by the flames!

Therefore, when she saw Xu Zhen's face as usual, her heart was shocked!

Xu Zhen also has a hard time, he can perform all kinds of extremely deceptive illusions in front of tens of thousands of modern people, and he is worried that he will not be able to suppress a few of the Tang Dynasty's wild captives?

These people survive on the grassland all the year round, the living environment is extremely harsh, they are born to worship faith, and even superstitious gods and ghosts, Xu Zhen made something out of nothing, summoned flames, attached to the blade, it is simply a means of the gods, and these wild herdsmen were indeed suppressed on the spot!

"Yerbo! Yerbo! (Note 2)

The group of people exclaimed again and again, at this moment Xu Zhen stood proudly, the long knife in his hand was held back, horizontally in front of him, his eyes were like eagles and falcons like torches, and the blade was blazing with flames and smoke, making him even more mysterious and powerful!

Worried that Xu Zhen's left hand would be scorched, Caesar hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Xu Zhen's left hand, raised it high, and shouted at the group in Turkic language: "Wait for ordinary people, and if you collide with the son of Ahura (Note 3), don't kneel down quickly!" ”

Hearing Caesar's majesty, the herdsmen who had already frightened the six gods and no owners fell to their knees one after another, throwing their bodies to the ground, none of them dared to raise their heads, and their mouths were full of words, trembling and uncontrollable!

Xu Zhen has already explored the folk customs on the grassland with Moya, the Kubel grassland is mostly mixed with Tugu Hun wild captives, the Murong Department is a remnant of Xianbei, no different from the Turks, with wolves as totems, but Zoroastrianism and shamanism are equally prevalent, I don't want to fight crookedly today, but the fire to drive the wolf has shocked these wild captives!

But the excitement and excitement were soon pulled back into the present world, because the left hand had no protection, so that it was burned all over the ground by the real phosphorus fire!

Xu Zhen was thinking about how to get out, thinking about the secret he had arranged at the bottom of the river before, and then considering that Gao Heshu was about to bring help, his heart couldn't help but become entangled, and he didn't know how to reconcile and turn around for a while, and he was thinking quickly, but he didn't expect a cavalry team to rumble and gallop from upstream!

(Note 1: David Bryan, a magician in the United States, once held his breath for 17 minutes, breaking the Guinness Book of World Records.) )

(Note 2: The religious beliefs of the Turkic and other steppe tribes include shamanism, Zoroastrianism, Nestorianism (a branch of Christianity), Buddhism, etc.) Among them, Zoroastrianism is one of the oldest religions in the world, also known as Zoroastrianism, in the middle of the 3rd century, it was introduced to China in the east, and in the middle of the 4th century, it was introduced to the Central Plains, and its god was named "Hu Tian". TO THE TANG DYNASTY, IT WAS NAMED "XIÁN", ITS PRONUNCIATION BELONGS TO THE FOREIGN SOUND, IS THE NEW WORD MADE BY THE TANG PEOPLE ACCORDING TO ITS SOUND, YEERBO IS A TEACHING POSITION, PRESIDING OVER THE TEACHING AFFAIRS OF A DIOCESE, HAS SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE, IS FAMILIAR WITH RITUALS, PRESIDES OVER THE AFFAIRS OF THE ANCESTRAL HALL, LITERALLY MEANS "THE SACRIFICE OF FIRE". ）

(Note 3: Zoroastrianism uses fire as the embodiment of Ahura, the god of light, so it is customary to worship fire as a manifestation of worshipping the gods, and Caesar falsely claims that Xu Zhen is the son of the god of fire to deter the captives.) ）
