Chapter 127: Xi Clan
A man and a wolf confronted each other like this, and the wolf king let out a low roar from time to time. The woman's muscles were also tense all over her body, and she looked at the wolf king opposite with all her attention.
Finally, the wolf king moved, only to see it pounce first, and the sharp teeth on its big mouth flashed with cold light. Then, in the process of pounced, he swung his powerful front paws, and the sharp claws seemed to crush the woman in front of him.
The scimitar in the woman's right hand also lifted it upwards without showing weakness, and when the wolf king pounced in front of him, the scimitar just slashed him.
So, one claw for another.
However, a wolf is a wolf after all, and even if he is treacherous, he does not have too many schemes. People are different, they know how to be fickle, and they know how to make decisions on the spot.
So, when the wolf's claws gripped the woman's abdomen and the sharp teeth bit into the woman's chest, the woman suddenly took a step back and slashed down.
A severed wolf claw fell to the ground, dripping with crimson blood.
"What a fast knife!" Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but secretly admire.
The wolf king screamed twice, staring at the woman with hatred in his eyes.
The woman gasped slightly, it seemed that the knife she slashed at the wolf king just now also took a lot of effort, and then the cat bent down and attacked the wolf king.
After a stormy attack, the wolf king was suddenly stabbed in the abdomen, and immediately fell to the ground in a state of exhaustion. A pair of eyes stared at the woman with resentment.
The woman suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and when she glanced around and saw Zhang Yunwen on the side, she showed him a sweet smile again.
Zhang Yunwen frowned slightly. When he saw that the woman and the wolf king began to fight, the wolf king was very fierce, and although he was injured when attacking, he was well founded. And now, when the wolf king faced this woman's attack, he was killed in a burst of attacks, is there something wrong with this.
At that moment, the horizontal knife in his hand tightened, and slowly walked towards the woman.
However, at this moment, the wolf king, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly rose up and bit the woman's neck with a sharp tooth.
And the woman only felt a cool breeze rising in the back of her head, and suddenly knew that something was wrong, and wanted to dodge, but she couldn't avoid it. Seeing that the wolf king was about to bite the woman's neck, a cold light flashed, and the wolf king seemed to have been hit by something, stopped suddenly, and then fell to the ground all of a sudden.
Only then did everyone see that a horizontal knife was slashed diagonally on the head of the wolf king. From the eyes to the protruding mouth, the horizontal knife slashed into the wolf's head three inches.
Not far away, Zhang Yunwen still maintained the posture of flying out of the horizontal knife.
The woman looked at Zhang Yunwen not far away, and then turned back with difficulty, looking at the wolf king who had already been dead on the spot, and her eyes flashed with an indescribable and unclear meaning.
Those Xi knights were also relieved to see that their princess was not injured, and that the wolf king had been ambushed on the spot.
The woman put away her scimitar and said a Turkic word to the knights around her, who immediately saluted the woman in unison, and then mounted their horses and galloped north. Only Zhang Yunwen and the woman were left, as well as the wolf corpse in one place.
"My name is Zhi Rou, and I am the princess of the Xi clan's humiliation of the main department! It's a great pleasure to meet you, Lord Chang'an! Zhirou looked at Zhang Yunwen, and the smile on her face stacked two cute little dimples, which couldn't help but make Zhang Yunwen stupid for a while.
Seeing Zhang Yunwen like this, Zhirou's smile became even stronger. Zhang Yunwen said: "What kind of adult from Chang'an?" Miss Zhirou, what are you talking about? ”
Zhi Rou turned over and said to Zhang Yunwen: "Although I don't know your name, I still thank you for saving my life!" In return, I will try my best to protect you during your time in the Xi Clan! Oh, do you know that there are old fellows in the tribe who don't want you to come, and when you arrive, they will do something to you, and then take your head and ask Tuli for merit! ”
Zhang Yunwen asked with a puzzled face, "Miss Zhirou, what are you talking about?" Could it be that someone in your tribe has taken a fancy to the goods of our caravan and wants to plunder it? ”
Zhirou glanced at Zhang Yunwen deeply: "Han people, let's go!" It would take a day's trek to get to the tribe from here! By the way, I don't know your name yet! ”
Zhang Yunwen turned over and got on the horse and walked with Zhirou. "My surname is Zhang, and my name is Zhang Wen!"
Zhi Rou read it softly: "Zhang Wen? ”
"Have you heard of Miss Zhirou?" Zhang Yunwen asked with a smile.
Zhi Rou shook her head, staring at Zhang Yunwen with a pair of dark eyes: "I haven't heard of the name Zhang Wen!" But I've heard of a name called 'Jang Yun Wen'. It is said that this Zhang Yunwen is a warrior of the Tang Dynasty and once defeated the devil Luo Yi. What we prairie people appreciate most is warriors, if we can see that Yunwen at a glance, how nice it would be! ”
Zhang Yunwen's face also showed a hint of yearning: "Yes, General Zhang's name is well-known in the Tang Dynasty, I heard that he fought bravely, if he could fight under his tent, how good it would be!" ”
Seeing this, Zhi Rou couldn't help but turn her head in disappointment, and waved her whip angrily: "Let's go, let's go quickly!" ”
The two stopped talking, just buried their heads in the road.
However, at this time, Zhang Yunwen was thinking about Zhi Rou's words just now, and carefully planned his future actions in the Xi clan. First of all, those who oppose the Southern Annexation of the Tang Dynasty and are friendly to the Turks must be assassinated, and no traces must be left. Then he used himself to save this branch of Rou once, and persuaded the main department of the Rou to persuade him to move south and enter the territory of the Great Wall. Finally, according to the situation, the rest of the Xi and Turkic, Buyeo and other ethnic groups were persuaded to persuade.
With such an idea, Zhang Yunming confessed that the first thing was to have a good relationship with the girl in front of him.
The two of them galloped on horses, and it didn't take long for them to catch up with the Xi knight team in front. The two of them ran at the front.
"Dare to ask Miss Zhirou a question, how many people are there in your main department now?" Zhang Yunwen asked cautiously.
"Oh, I don't know what Zhang Wen is asking for?" Zhi Rou glanced at Zhang Yunwen lightly.
Zhang Yunwen said: "In this way, after we determine the size of your tribe, we can know how much of the goods we bring this time and how many goods we should bring next time to make the most money!" ”
"You can bring as much as you can, and why do you have to calculate so much! No matter how much he has, we will eat it from the main department! You know, our tribe is the largest tribe in the entire Xi tribe! Zhi Rou's two easy sentences dispelled Zhang Yunwen's idea of asking how much the population was.
However, Zhang Yunwen also got a piece of information that this humiliation lord was a very large tribe.
The two talked from time to time on the way, Zhang Yunwen introduced the customs of the Central Plains, folk customs, and listened to the soft and beautiful eyes flashing again and again, looking at Zhang Yunwen's eyes full of surprise. And then Zhang Yunwen brought out the set of "The Legend of the Laughing Forest" that coaxed Li Yu at the beginning, and several jokes were told softly, leaning forward and backward, and the crisp laughter like silver bells sprinkled all over the green grassland.
In return for the favor, Zhirou also talked about some basic rules on the grassland. Zhang Yunwen, who came to the grassland for the first time, suddenly nodded again and again.
Halfway off the horse and rested once, the men ate dry food, the horses ate forage, and then went on the road again. Finally, after a long day of galloping, I finally saw a herd of white sheep on a grassland. Against the backdrop of the green grassland, it looks so eye-catching, as if the white clouds in the sky are pulled down and placed here.
The knights of the Xi tribe cheered and slapped the horse's buttocks fiercely, and the horses ran even happier.
Looking into the distance, I saw several white domed yurts at the junction of heaven and earth in the distance, and the gentle horizon slowly slid through the yurts and turned into several protrusions.
From the yurt in the distant sky to the sheep in the distance, the Xi knights on horses kept galloping to welcome the returning knights. Their excited cries could be heard in the cool wind.
"This is the grassland of our Xi clan's main department, Zhang Wen, what do you think of here?" Unconsciously, Zhi Rou rode his horse to Zhang Yunwen's side, looking at Zhang Yunwen's focused eyes and serious face to ask questions.
"It's beautiful, it's really beautiful!" Zhang Yunwen said without looking back.
Zhi Rou showed a proud look on her face, and her eyes slowly moved with Zhang Yunwen's gaze.
The two rode their horses to the yurt. When the herdsmen along the way saw Zhirou, they bent down and saluted. Zhi Rou also smiled at the herdsmen who saluted.
When Zhang Yunwen approached the tribe, he suddenly saw a group of people crowded there outside the tribe, and he didn't know what he was doing. Glancing through the crowd, he found a familiar figure.
