A day later, Shaharu was frustrated and hunted in the depths of the grassland.

Because it is spring, the grass grows happily. There are also shrubs and poplars that grow closer to water sources. A large area, one by one, maintains the most natural appearance.

Many wild goats and rabbits are also gnawing on grass in these inaccessible places. That leisurely appearance is very comfortable.

Shaharu jumped off his horse and crept behind a poplar tree.

"Whoosh!" , a sudden sound of breaking the air broke the silence in the forest.

But immediately after, Shaharu scolded angrily. Because the arrow only hit the horns of the wild goat! The whole flock was frightened.

So the sound of sheep's hooves resounded throughout the forest. Many of the birds perched on the trees were also frightened and flew high.

Shaharu hurriedly got on his horse and chased after him with all his might.

But he hadn't shot an arrow in a while, so his accuracy was much worse. So that the arrows were shot, and not a single goat was left.

Shaharu was so angry that he whipped his horse, blaming it for being too slow. But it didn't work out, and the horse suddenly accelerated under the pain. As soon as he was not careful, he was thrown off the horse. Fortunately, there was a lot of grass on the ground, so the fall was not heavy.

It's just that the horses have run away! No matter how much I chase it, I don't know where to look.

Quite frustrated, he followed the way he came and slowly walked back.

But when I passed through the forest where I first encountered a goat, I found a goat lying on the slope not far away.

Shaharu thought he had shot it, and happily leaned over. But it was found that the arrow on it was engraved with the Chinese character 'Liao'.

"It's Liao?!" , Shaharu wondered. Although he has never been to Da Liao, he has seen a lot of Da Liao's writing.

"Could it be that the Liao army has come to fight the grass valley?" Although this hungry steppe is the boundary of the Western Qarakhanid, the garrison of Daliao is in the north. In the past, there were often evil things where the Liao army crossed the border to rob the border people and cause trouble.

Due to the majesty of the Great Liao, the Khan was unwilling to appeal to Juer Khan for this trivial matter. So for a long time, the Liao army came and went freely.

Until the Seven Princesses came! Under the pretext of punishing the horse bandits, the Liao army that crossed the border was stripped naked. And swaggering, sent to the Liao army camp in Fenakt (Siridaria).

Because of the loss of face, the Liao army no longer dared to cross the border to fight the grass valley without permission.

Now that the arrows of the Liao army have appeared here again, he has to think about it more.

It was at this moment that several voices came from outside the forest. Shaharu quickly became short and lay dormant.

"Did anyone find it?" , listening to the tone, like a small commander with some status.

"There's no sign here!" ，

"Hmmm! Then look for it in the west! ”，

I listened to the footsteps and went away, as if I had gone away. Shaharu was suspicious, but he didn't dare to follow. After all, he still knows the truth that curiosity kills cats.

He tiptoed back from a place where there were many trees.

But the sheep was taken away by him.

Hiding in Tibet like this, it is estimated that he has left the territory of the Liao army, and he walked out of the forest and came to a small river.

Gollum Purr... My stomach swelled.

He also came out for some hours, and rode horses and shot arrows. What you eat in the morning should be almost digested. It's just that the dry food brought with them is on horseback, so they can only roast and eat the sheep on their backs.

Just go a little further and come to the upper reaches of the creek. Cut off a leg of lamb and get some forage. The wool was lit with matches bought by the Lee firm, and some moist forage was baked.

It wasn't until the fire grew stronger that the leg of lamb was roasted leisurely.

When the faint fragrance escaped, he took out three small transparent glass bottles from his arms. It contains cumin, pepper and salt.

This is the usual way of eating for the prairie people! Together, the scent is even more enticing.

However, the cumin, pepper and salt he used were somewhat different. Because this was bought from Lee's firm! Whether it's the scent of cumin, the bitter and spicy taste of pepper, or the saltiness of salt, it's all excellent.

I heard that the officials of the Governor's Palace of Khorasan used it, and the taste was even more amazing. Not only cumin and pepper are planted and cared for by special personnel. Salt is also refined salt! Snow white, as clean as white paper.

Ordinary people like Shaharu are naturally blessed.

At the moment, smelling the aroma of roast lamb shank, his saliva was about to flow out. He inhaled contentedly and bit down a large piece of meat.

But at this moment, a tall horse suddenly galloped out of the poplar forest in the distance. When Shaharu saw it, he immediately recognized it as his mount.

Only at this time, on horseback sat a Muslim in a black robe. In front of him, he was holding a child who was not too old.

"This is my horse!" Shaharu stepped forward quickly and shouted loudly. But the Muslim didn't look at him, but rode his horse and rushed straight at him.

If you hit it, you won't be killed. Shaharu rolled on the spot and scrambled out of the way. But he wasn't going to leave it at that! Instead, he put two fingers in his mouth and whistled vigorously.

The horse, which was speeding up, immediately neighed and raised its premise high.

Caught off guard, two people, one big and one young, fell from the horse.

"Humph! Let you steal my horse! Shaharu kept his face calm and hurried over to pull the reins of the horse, but he didn't have a good airway.

But when he saw the face under the black robe, he was taken aback, and said in a stunned voice: "It's a woman? ”。

"Woo woo · Don't hurt my mother! Li Chengxue said crying when she saw Shaharu walking to Li Xiao's side.

As soon as they set foot on the territory of the Western Karakhanid, the Holy Guards quickly chased after them. Wang Gui did not dare to take them to Sussana, so he bought a horse in a village and marched along the edge of the hungry grassland.

But after dodging, the Guards still found it. Wang Gui took the initiative to dedicate himself to lead away the enemy. Li Xiao took Li Chengxue and continued to hurry.

But Li Xiao had never been to the Hungry Prairie, so it didn't take long for him to get lost. Then he caught Wang Gui's guards and knew that this was a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. Then he quickly whipped his horse and chased after him again.

In order to capture them back, Yeluzi was also given an edict from the Holy Lord, and selected more than a dozen scouts from the army to find traces.

Therefore, in a short time, he followed the traces of Li Xiao and others to the hinterland of the hungry grassland.

In desperation, Lee Shaw happened to see Shaharu's mount. led Li Chengxue and chose a random direction to rush straight.

In this way, there was the previous scene.

"Huh! You little girl! The tone is not small! Shaharu stopped, and said sarcastically at Li Chengxue, who was covered with grass clippings.

"Da ·", a rapid sound of horses' hooves came. Shaharu turned around and looked at him, and his expression immediately froze. Because in the forest ahead, nearly a hundred Liao troops in iron armor were rushing out.

Knowing that it was not good, he hurriedly stepped on the horse's back. But when he saw the big and the small on the ground, he couldn't see death and not save him. quickly put the unconscious Li Xiao on his back on the horse. At the same time, he held the crying Li Chengxue with one hand and left on horseback.
