When Tuoba Yan joined Alam and Abutai with the captured booty, the herdsmen erupted in cheers. The large stone that Yele had poured over his throat was finally put down.

"We have food, camels and horses." Tuoba Yan hid how many soldiers he had lost, and said to Ye Letian with a smile.

Yele leaned up and down to look at Tuoba Yan, and when he saw that he was stained with blood, he said worriedly, "You're not injured, are you?" ”

Tuoba stretched out his hands, turned around and smiled: "Of course I'm fine, they can't hurt me." ”

"What about the others, how many soldiers have been lost?" Yele asked.

Still can't hide it from Ye Letian, Tuoba Yan silently nosed, "It takes a lot of effort to exterminate the sand thieves." The cavalry suffered more losses, and the Qingyun Iron Guard was fine. ”

When Yele heard this, her face changed suddenly, and she said in a heavy tone: "I don't know how many dangers there are on the road ahead, if this continues, there will be fewer and fewer soldiers." ”

"The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, take a step, count it as a step." Tuoba said. They had already experienced the black sandstorm, they had seen the sand thieves, and Tuoba didn't believe it, what else could stump their Qingyun tribe.

At this time, Tuoba Yan was too naïve, he did not know that the real difficulties did not come from the outside, or from the inside.

After entering the desert for more than ten days, the Qingyun Department finally faced the tragic situation of being cut off from water and food. Even if there were some rations seized by the sand thieves, they would not be enough to feed and drink hundreds of people. What was even more depressing was that they did not find the sand springs, everyone was thirsty, and the water bladders carried by the camels were almost empty.

The weather is hot and dry, the old people can't stand it at first, every day, someone falls, and once they fall, they can't get up again. Yele looked at the people who were starving and thirsty to death, but he couldn't do anything. The only thing they can do is give them a dagger and let them kill themselves.

Later, it was proposed to kill horses, drink horse blood, and eat horse meat. People who grew up on the grassland have the same affection for horses as they do for their own brothers, and no one can bear to kill them. Tuoba Yan saw that no one did anything, he endured the heartache, was ruthless, and killed his beloved horse with a knife.

"Khan!" Alem couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

"Khan......" Yeletian covered his mouth and almost burst into tears.

However, Tuoba Yan seemed to be indifferent, and just lightly ordered: "Take the horse's blood, roast the horse's meat, and distribute it to everyone." ”

With that, Tuoba wiped the blood stains on the spatula and silently returned to the tent.

"Khan!" Yele chased after him, trying to comfort Tuoba Yan, but he didn't know how to speak.

"I'm fine, now people are going to starve to death, and I don't care about the horses." Tuoba said lightly.

Yele had heard Jimmy say that Tuoba had been raising horses since he was a teenager and had followed him to the battlefield, fighting the Black Rock Division, the Central Plains Division, and the Chishui Division. But now, the inseparable partners have to be closed by their own hands. How can this taste be good?

Thinking about it, Yele's tears fell, and she choked up: "I'm useless, as your wife, I can't help much." If your sister is here, she can still help you fight the war and help you find a way. ”

"Don't mention Yerei." Tuoba Yan looked indifferent, "You are good, better than your sister." ”

"Don't comfort me, I know, it's actually you like her." Ye Letian said.

About Yeleyi, Tuoba Yan and Yeletian have never mentioned it, and this is the first time they have talked about her.

"Yes, I admit it, I liked her when I was young and ignorant, but that's all in the past. ”

Yele was still crying after hearing this, and she smiled bitterly, "It's because my sister deceived you and seized the Golden Palace, you don't like her." And I, it's only because I look like her that you empathize with me. ”

"It's not empathy." Tuoba said openly and honestly, "I thought I liked strong women, but later I found out that I couldn't stand being too strong. I thought you didn't have a opinion, but now it seems that you have always had your own ideas in mind. It wasn't until I met you that I understood who I really liked. ”

Yele looked at Tuoba Yan with tears in his eyes, his eyes were full of surprise, and Tuoba Yan continued: "You sisters are very similar, but they are not like each other. When she pretended to be you, she thought she was playing seamlessly, but in fact, if you look closely, she is still different from you. The eyes of the two of you are different, her eyes are as sharp as knives, and your eyes are gentle as water. She asks for something, you ask for nothing. ”

"It's too late, you never looked at me closely." Ye Letian said.

Tuoba Yan often regrets it now, why should he ignore Yeletian when he was young, and only pursue Yeleyi? If he had carefully watched Ye Letian back then, he would not have been played by Ye Leyi.

"yes, I'm stupid and don't know what I'm missing." Tuoba Yan gently wiped her tears for Ye Le with his hand, and slowly stroked her cheek, "It's okay, God treats me well, and it's not too late to meet you now." Let me spend the rest of my life making up for my past mistakes. ”

"Ahh Yele burst into tears and couldn't help but shout his name. She waited from her youth to finally blossom and bear fruit.

Tuoba Yan whispered in agreement, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her cheeks and lips...... The two hugged each other and slept together.

The horses are killed less and less, and the camels have to carry equipment and show the way, and they can't be killed for the time being. The people of Qingyun looked distressed and weak one by one, and when someone died, people were no longer sad, but they were scrambling to eat the corpses. Tuoba Yan looked at the group of crazy herdsmen, and remembered the scene that night, when the wild wolf ate the corpses of their companions, and under extreme conditions, there was no difference between humans and wolves.

Finally, Qingyun fell to this point, and Yi Zi ate and killed each other. For a mouthful of food, for a drop of water, you can fight. Alam and Abutai tried their best to control the situation, shouting forbidding private fighting, but now it was all chaos, and people did not listen to the orders of the generals, just to survive.

"Damn!" Tuoba was furious and said to Kutulu, "Let the Qingyun Iron Guard bring weapons, suppress them by force, and take down all these chaotic people." ”

"Khan......" General Kutulu hesitated, these people are the people of Qingyun.

"Don't go yet." Tuoba shouted at Tulu.

“…… The last general commanded. Kutulu sighed in his heart, and had to wield his sword at his people.

For a time, blood soaked the sand under their feet, and some of the troublemakers died under the sword of Qingyun Tiewei, and some picked up knives, guns, and sticks to fight with the army. The rest of the people screamed and fled in all directions, and they looked at the eyes of the Qingyun Iron Guard as if they were looking at a demon from hell.

"Khan, stop." Yeletian and Jimmy hurriedly ran over to stop it, "You can't kill the people. ”

"It's a curse to keep it, so why can't you kill it?" Tuoba said coldly.

"Khan, stop killing, let me go, I'll go and persuade." Yele pleaded.

"Those people are crazy, they are rioters, and they will kill you if you go."

"I'd rather be killed by them than see my own people kill my own people." Ye Le poured out, ignoring Tuobayan's opposition, and resolutely walked into the turmoil among the herdsmen.

"Crazy people, all crazy people." Tuoba was helpless and had to follow to protect Ye Letian.

"Stop, stop." Yele found a higher place, stood up and shouted to both the army and the people, "The Khan has an order, all stop fighting." ”

General Kutulu wished that the Khan would give an order for an armistice, and he waved his hand to stop the Qingyun Iron Guard, while those chaotic people stared at the Qingyun Iron Guard viciously, in a state of self-preservation.

"You're so disappointing to me!" Ye Le's eyes were full of anger and sorrow, and he hated that iron could not be made of steel, and said, "The Qingyun Department has now reached the point where it is about to be exterminated, but you are still fighting privately, I look down on you, you deserve to be destroyed." ”

Everyone was shocked, and they were shocked by Yele's words. They have been with Yele Kodun for several months, and everyone in the Qingyun Department knows that Yeletan is a gentle and kind girl, who has always greeted people with a smile on her face, let alone scolded. Unexpectedly, today, she scolded and scolded everyone in the Qingyun Department.

One by one, the people who were scolded were too shocked, and they stared at Ye Letian in a daze, and forgot to talk back. Jimmy looked nervously at the angry herders around him, fearing that his sister would be killed by the group.

But Ye Letian still scolded unhurriedly: "If you are in trouble, you will only fight among yourself, if you don't destroy the clan, who will destroy the clan." Since everyone wants to fight, let's fight. You kill me, I kill you, until the last person is killed, and the Qingyun Department disappears into the desert. My father must be glad that he destroyed you without a single soldier. ”

The herdsman, who had just blushed and had a thick neck, lowered his head guiltily and put down his weapon. Seeing this, Ye Letian eased his tone, "Now that we are about to get out of this desert, if everyone insists on persevering, we are about to win, do we have to fall short because of infighting?" ”

"Yelkodun, you're right, we know you're wrong." The person who took the lead in making trouble repented, "We Qingyun people, share blessings and difficulties, and work together to get out of the desert." ”

"Yes, that's right." Ye Letian finally showed a smile.

Tuoba Yan listened to Ye Letian's speech below, and couldn't help admiring this woman in his heart. Unexpectedly, the problem that he could not solve with force, Ye Letian solved it in a few words.
