In one day and one night after entering the steppe, we marched nearly 400 miles in the weights and measures at that time, which was already the limit of the distance traveled by the light cavalry in a single day.

Especially at this latitude, it is already very cold in September, and it is said that cotton is worn in the morning, yarn is worn in the afternoon, and watermelon is eaten by the stove, which is what is said. This is a great test of the human body and will, but fortunately, I am surrounded by leaders in this area, and basically can adapt to this series of bad situations.

On the way, I met some herdsmen one after another, and I asked them to be brought into the team, supervised by a special person, and could not release them until the goal was completed, so as to prevent the news from being exposed.

The next afternoon, while advancing, the front team suddenly stopped. I hurried my horse to the front, and it turned out that the sentry had seized a herdsman and was interrogating him.

It is said that no matter what the family is asked, it is three words: I don't know.

I was quite curious, and when I got closer, the battalion officer Pang Jieyuan was interrogating the old man of the family, and when he saw me coming over and was about to report, I raised my hand and motioned for him to continue.

Pang Jieyuan nodded, continued to ask, and was conveyed by the translator next to him.

I didn't care what he asked, but looked at the family carefully. There were seven members of the family, an old man, an old woman, a young man and a woman, and three children. The children were two boys and one girl.

All the questions were always answered by the old man, and it always seemed to be one sentence, I don't know. Listening to his thick nasal voice and looking at his rough skin that is black and red, he should be an authentic prairie man. But the occasional hint of cunning in his eyes makes people feel that this person is not so simple.

The old lady had nothing to say, and there was nothing special in her eyes, half fear and half anger.

The young man and woman were supposed to be the children of both of them. The man is very similar to the old man, probably a son, and the other is a daughter-in-law. The two of them looked like they hadn't suffered much.

Three children, two of whom have nothing to say, rough skin, faintly plateau red, are authentic prairie people. Only the boy standing at the end, thirteen or fourteen years old, with fair skin, although his eye sockets and the bridge of his nose looked like a prairie man, his temperament was not the same as that of the other two children. Although he tried his best to hide back, his calm and unhurried temperament could not be changed.

I looked at these people in silence and did not speak. Pang Jieyuan asked for a while, his heart was on fire, and he raised his horsewhip to whip the old man, but the old man stubbornly closed his eyes, but still did not speak.

I whispered, "Stop!"

Pang Jieyuan looked at me in amazement, not understanding what was going on, but he still stopped.

I shook my head and smiled: "It's useless, this person has his mission, and it's useless to suffer from flesh and skin."

After saying that, I pointed to the unusual little boy and said, "Take him down."

Seeing the direction of my finger, the old man suddenly became anxious, his lips moved a few times, and he wanted to say something, but he quickly covered up his panic and still closed his eyes.

When I saw this, I knew it. Turning back to the Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao and Kite, he said, "Greet this kid well, maybe he knows something!" As he spoke, he blinked.

The faces of the nine ghosts Zhengxiao and Kite did not change, and they arched their hands and said, "Yes!" Mr! ”

He came over and lifted the kid down like a chicken. In a short time, there was the screaming of a child and the sound of a leather whip whipping.

The old man couldn't pretend any longer, and his eyes opened as if he was spewing endless anger, and he gritted his teeth at me and said, "How can you do this! He's still a kid! ”

It's Chinese! Although the tone is a little strange!

I smiled and said, "Why don't you continue to pretend?" What about your integrity? ”

The old man suppressed his anger and said, "What is coming at me! Let go of my grandson! ”

I laughed, took two steps forward, patted the heads of the other two children, and said with a smile: "These two are your grandsons, I believe!" But that kid, no! ”

The old man was told by me, and he lost his voice: "What?"

I listened to the screams that continued to come from behind, and said leisurely: "You acted very well, but there are some things that can't be hidden." You want to protect this kid so much! So much so that you forget about your own two grandchildren! They stand together, like peacocks and pheasants nesting together, how can they hide it? ”

I pointed to the two children and continued, "You let them stand in the front and the child stand in the back, and you only look at the two children when you speak, so that we think you are focusing on them!" Right? ”

Speaking of this, the old man's face had completely changed, and he looked at me in disbelief, never knowing that this young man in front of him would have such profound insight.

I looked at him quietly, and the old man looked at me for a while, and suddenly said, "You are not from the grassland!" Who are you? ”

I smiled and said, "Do you think you have the qualifications to ask questions now?" Who gave you courage? ”

The old man suddenly looked like a deflated balloon, lowered his head, and said for a long time: "You are from the Ming Dynasty?" What are you doing in the grassland? ”

I laughed and didn't say anything. The old man pondered for a while, and then suddenly said loudly: "You are here to attack the Black Carboniferous Department!" They are fighting against the Ming Dynasty! Definitely! ”

This time I didn't deny it, and the old man said excitedly: "If I guess correctly, then we are friends!" Friend! ”

I laughed, "I don't have any friends who don't know who the other person is."

The old man bowed to me and said, "Your Excellency General, I am the right elder of the Wunar tribe, Asig, may I ask what Your Excellency the General is called?"

I smiled and said, "As you said, I am a military general of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Qilan!"

Asig bowed again and said, "General Sun! I am amazed that you are here, and please forgive me for my sins for not recognizing you! ”

I nodded and said, "Elder Asig, why are you disguised like this and secretly moving forward?"

Asig replied angrily: "The Black Carboniferous Ministry did not keep its word, and suddenly launched an attack on our Ministry before attacking the Ming Dynasty!" We were originally a small tribe, and we collapsed under their onslaught! The Great Khan died in battle, and the rest either died, scattered, or became slaves! ”

He suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly took my hand and said, "General Sun! The child you took away just now is the only flesh and blood of the Great Khan, Prince Lakshin! Could you please let him go? He is the last hope of our people! ”

As he spoke, he knelt down in front of me and said in a low voice: "General, you led a large group of cavalry to go deep into the grassland in disguise, presumably to attack the Longtai Golden Horde of the Black Carboniferous Department!" I'd like to be a guide! I'd like to be a guide! Please let the little prince go! ”

I was overjoyed in my heart, and I was waiting for his words! I turned around and shouted, "Zhengxiao!"

The Nine Ghosts and Kite returned to us with the little prince Lakshin in a short time. Laxin ran a few steps and threw himself into Asig's arms.

Asig looked Laxon up and down nervously, to see what we were doing to him. I smiled and glanced at the Nine Ghosts Masataka, and the Nine Ghosts Masataka smiled: "Don't worry! We didn't hit him, we just took out bugs to scare him a few times, children are afraid of bugs! ”

Hearing this, Asig showed a grateful gaze, bowed down again and said, "Thank you!" General Sun! Your kindness will never be forgotten by our Wunar people! ”

I smiled and waved my hand.

Asig continued: "General Sun, if you really go to attack the Longtai Golden Horde of the Black Carboniferous Department, you will definitely not be able to find it if you follow the same path!"

I sighed and said, "I want to hear it!"

Asig Zhengse said: "Recently, the Black Carboniferous Department has made a lot of moves, attacking several small tribes around it one after another. Their territory expanded, so they moved the Longtai Golden Horde westward to the western end of Hulunbuir Hailar! You won't be able to find it the way you came! ”

I asked in a deep voice, "Do you know how to go?"

Asig hammered his left chest with his right fist and said, "I know! Checkmate! It's just that our Royal Highness the Prince......"

I looked at the kid Lakshin, but I didn't expect that he was also looking at me without hesitation, and suddenly said, "Grandpa Asig, let's go with General Sun!" It turned out to be a full and round Chinese, standard Northeast Mandarin.

As soon as this came out, Asig and I were surprised. But he heard Lakshen continue: "Grandpa Asig, since General Sun and they are going to surprise attack the Longtai Golden Horde of the Black Carboniferous Department, I am afraid that they will never be willing to reveal the news!" If you blindly want me to go first, I'm afraid it will save my life! ”

Asig just looked at me, and I just smiled and didn't say anything. Rakshen continued: "We, the sons and daughters of the steppe, are not afraid of war! But General Sun, I have a request! ”

I smiled and said, "You say!"

Lakshen said: "If we take you to the right place, and you win this battle as you wish, then please allow me, the son of the dead country, Lakshen to follow you!"

Before I could answer, Asig said anxiously: "Your Royal Highness!"

Lakshin interrupted him and said: "Grandpa Asig, you want to send me to the Ming Dynasty and join the little emperor, but I know that the little emperor is a very realistic person, and the Ming Dynasty is corrupt internally, and there is no good end for me to go, and I will only get farther and farther away from revenge!"

Asig muttered: "General Kesun is also a general of the Ming Dynasty......"

There was a gleam in Lakshin's eyes, and he smiled: "He's different!" If I'm reading it wrong...... Then I'll think I'm blind and recognize the wrong person! ”

I laughed and said, "I didn't promise to help you get revenge!"

Lakshin shook his head and said, "No need! Some things are just accessories to others! ”

What a fun kid! First there was Su Qi, and then there was this Lakshen, are the children on the grassland so smart?

I smiled and said, "Deal!"

I hit Rakshin's right hand three times in the air! This is the way to swear on the prairie!

I asked Pang Jieyuan to call the battalion officers of each battalion, and together with Laksin and Asig, they re-studied and planned the route. The new route is more than a hundred miles longer than we had planned, but that's not a problem, it's just a matter of hours!

With this family, we set off again. I suddenly felt like I could win this battle! Because even the heavens are bless me!

Rakshin and I rode side by side. Looking at this kid's smiling expression, I suddenly had a feeling that this kid must not be easy in the future!

That's it, a man's intuition!
