After the two stories were told, there was silence in the felt tent. Nangong Jin looked at the fire, not knowing what she was thinking. The old wizard looked at the last old man who didn't tell a story.

The old man smiled and said, "I know I'm the most timid here. My tribe was near Baoketu, and one day I suddenly noticed that there was a subsidence about five miles away from us, so I took my tribesmen with nothing and went here. The old man paused, scratched his head, and couldn't think of what to say, "I was in that place where the ground was sinking, and I saw people lying on the ground dressed strangely. Don't ask me if I'm dead or alive, I don't know. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a good thing, let's go first, and then talk about it, as for the possessions, there will always be them. ”

Nangong Jin's expression became serious and asked, "How many people are lying down?" ”

"Many, many," the old man gestured with his hand, feeling that he still couldn't express it, so he could only say, "I don't count." ”

"Wearing armor? Or cloth clothes? Nangong Jin continued to ask.

"Buried in the snow, I didn't look closely, but it was certainly not a Mongolian costume. I don't know if it's you Han Chinese, but the Han people I saw were all wearing the same robes as you. The old man explained that he had indeed never seen Hanfu.

"Where is your ministry in Bauktu?" Nangong Jin asked carefully, this is like a battlefield.

"It's five or six days northwest after Buktu." The old man added, "There should be no other tribes in that area." ”

The old wizard kept looking at Nangong Jin, and finally asked, "Are you going?" ”

Nangong Jin nodded, "I want to go and see." ”

The old wizard stared at him without moving, and said with a blank face, "If you want to go, we will move in the winter." Are you sure you want to go? ”

"Why did you move?" Nangong Jin didn't understand his intentions, if he just used this threat, what was the use of such a threat?

"You take our location to the Demon Realm, and the Demon will follow the path you have traveled to find here. And you, will be devoured by demons. The old wizard said word for word, "Are you still going?" ”

The old wizard's eyes were very sharp, Nangong Jin was silent, and asked, "What do you mean by senior?" ”

"Where to go back and forth."

"So, you're still going to stay here?" Nangong Jin began to suspect that the old wizard was hiding something.

"As soon as we move, the demons will find out and wreak havoc on the steppes to the east. Only wait for spring and dissipate the demonic energy with vitality. "The old wizard's words cannot be questioned.

Nangong Jin nodded, "Understood." ”

"It's not early, you can rest, and you will go back at dawn tomorrow." The old wizard stared at him, as if trying to read what was in his mind.

Nangong Jin smiled and got up to say goodbye: "Okay, thank you for taking me in." ”

The old wizard kept staring at him until he came out of the account, and said solemnly, "Inform Jebu and make arrangements." ”

The old man, who claimed to be the most timid, straightened up sharply and looked at the old wizard, "This, want, want, ......." ”

Another old man beside him patted him on the shoulder, "It's just a Han man, it's better for him to die than for us to die." ”

The old wizard sighed heavily, "We are here to protect the grassland, he will not understand." If he must move forward, it should be as if they never came. ”

**********

Nangong Jin returned to the felt tent, Yao Fangyu was in front of the stove, heating the cakes and jerky she brought, but the things sent by the Mengren did not move at all.

"How?" Yao Fangyu saw him sit down, handed over hot tea and scones and asked.

Nangong Jin said: "There may be a battlefield of the Ming army in the northwest of Baoketu, and we may not need to go to Uliyasu." ”

"Good. Shall we leave tomorrow morning? ”

Nangong Jin took a sip of tea and pondered for a moment, "Do you believe that there are man-eating demons in the world?" ”

Yao Fangyu laughed, "The devil is in the human heart, if there is no demon in the heart, there will be no demon in the world." ”

"The old wizard wants us to go back. If we leave tomorrow morning, he will definitely send someone to prevent us from going any further. ”

Yao Fangyu nodded, "Leaving overnight?" ”

"It's cold and dark at night...... Nangong Jin wanted to leave, but she felt that it was too bitter Yao Fangyu, and her expression was very embarrassed.

Yao Fangyu smiled and said, "It's not dark in the snow. In a moment I will have the hand stove ready, and it will not be cold in my clothes. ”

"Okay, when they're all asleep, we'll set off, and find a place to rest on the way. However, there should be no tribes along the way. Nangong Jin was afraid that Yao Fangyu would be afraid, so she didn't tell her the stories of those ghosts and ghosts.

**********

The night, in this tribe that is not lively, is even quieter and terrifying. The moonlight was white in the snow, probably because of the high number of people moving around, but the tribe and its radius were not covered with snow. Nangong Jin and Yao Fangyu quietly left the tent and went to the stable to look for the horses.

They had their saddles and luggage in their horses, and were ready to mount and leave. Suddenly, Nangong Jin made a mistake, and a long arrow passed by, far into the snow.

"Dawu is right, you are really disobedient." In the dark night, a Mongolian man stared at them with a longbow in his hand, and dozens of warriors came out one after another behind him, each with a full bow, and the long arrow went straight to Gong Jin, wanting to surround them.

Nangong Jin whispered: "Get on the horse and rush out to the west, quickly." ”

As soon as the words fell, the two turned around and got on the horse almost at the same time, Nangong Jin was half a horse behind and slapped Yao Fangyu's horse buttocks. The horse neighed, stepped out of the stable in a few steps, and leaped out of the encirclement with four hooves in volley, and rushed straight out like an arrow.

Yao Fangyu crouched on the horse's back, and only had time to shout, "Ah Jin! ”

Long arrows flew like rain, and Nangong Jin rose from the horse. I don't know when, there is a soft sword in my hand. The heavy sword shuttled like a spiritual snake in the rain of arrows, and those long wooden arrows were split in two and fell to the ground as soon as they touched it. Nangong Jin didn't seem to expect this sword to be so sharp.

After a rain of arrows, Nangong Jin protected the direction in which he and Yao Fangyu left, but the mount was shot by a long arrow and fell to the ground with a scream. Nangong Jin didn't care, and took advantage of the moment when the Mengren took the arrow, and rushed out of the encirclement.

Seeing this, dozens of warriors behind him immediately flew on their horses and chased after Nangong Jin.

In the snow, Nangong Jin's speed of running wild was not slow, but the rain of arrows that flew was faster, and he had to turn around to block it with a heavy sword, but the long arrows were endless. After such a stagnation, the Mongolian warriors quickly surrounded them, but they divided more than ten horsemen and chased them in the direction that Yao Fangyu left.

"You don't know each other, so why bother?!" Nangong Jin said loudly to the man at the head.

"If you want to attract demons, we can only kill you first." Jebu paused, as if he couldn't bear it, "Give you one last chance, go back!" Back to it! ”

Nangong Jin laughed, "Now that I agree to go back, you great witches won't believe it." ”

"Alas, the grassland is so big, if you deliberately bypass us, we really don't know. Well, I'm sorry. Jebu didn't hesitate any longer.

After the arrow attack, dozens of warriors put away their longbows, drew their swords and rode on horseback.

Nangong Jin didn't run but greeted him, and when he saw that he was about to collide, he suddenly turned short and slashed at the horse's hooves with his heavy sword. The horse neighed, but he didn't expect the sword to cut off the horse's leg. Nangong Jin didn't have time to be surprised, his short body shuttled among the horses, and the horse's legs were broken everywhere he passed.

The horse rolled on the snow, spilling blood, and immediately the warrior jumped off the horse with a shout and quickly besieged Nangong Jin.

The blood-stained sword glowed silvery-red and flickered through the crowd. I don't know if it's an illusion, it seems that this sword has adapted to the battle, the faster and faster it is, and the more brave it becomes, it is no longer a soft lying appearance. In the vicious battle, gradually some Mongolian warriors fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

Jebu didn't expect it to be so difficult to kill a Han Chinese, so he rode back a few steps and exited the battle circle. Under the moonlight, he raised the longbow in his hand and aimed it at Nangong Jin.

The sharp arrow broke through the air, and at the last moment, Nangong Jin violently pulled the enemy around him, changed his position, and the person was shot through the chest by the instantaneous long arrow. Zhebu frowned, staring at Nangong Jin in the crowd but didn't dare to raise an arrow again.

At this moment, a muttered incantation rang in everyone's ears. An old man wearing a mask and a crown of feathers, holding a staff and chanting a spell, walked towards the battlefield, the speed seemed to be not fast, but in a moment it was in front of him.

The warriors who were still fighting seemed to have been given the order and slowly got out of the battle group. Nangong Jin also noticed something unusual, and simply fought and retreated to the west. The warriors stopped pursuing, and the old wizard's spell continued.

In the snow, Nangong Jin, who was on guard, stopped, and suddenly, turned around extremely quickly, and ran wildly in the direction that Yao Fangyu left.

A blue light flashed in the sky, and the thunder pressed towards Nangong Jin from all directions, and the earth shook! There is such a terrible thunderstorm in winter, which makes people frightened, and their hairs stand on end, as if a catastrophe has arrived.

Nangong Jin's figure seemed to be struggling in thunder and lightning, and in an instant, he saw him as if tearing the void, and he quickly jumped up, and where he was standing, a deafening thunder was triggered, and a black pit exploded. He didn't dare to land, and the long sword took advantage of the strength and leaped out again.

A majestic voice like thunder came from the air, "Come back!" Otherwise, everyone will die! ”

The more than ten warriors who were originally chasing Yao Fangyu galloped back on horseback from a distance, blocking Nangong Jin's way. But the more than a dozen arrows that flew in front of him did not have the momentum before at all.

Nangong Jin didn't stop, the long sword flashed and the arrow fell to the ground twice, and then rushed into the more than ten horses, repeating the old tricks, and cutting the horse's hooves. Seeing this scene, the warriors who had not been cut hurriedly dispersed. Nangong Jin stared at one of them, flew down and dragged him off the horse.

Between heaven and earth, a roar came out of thin air!

In the roar, everyone covered their ears in pain and fell to the ground, approaching the old wizard's warhorse, and even fell to the ground with a mouth full of convulsions.

During the run, Nangong Jin's horse knelt on its knees and turned over. Before it fell, Nangong Jin had already dismounted, but he didn't stand firm and knelt on one knee, endured the pain in his ear that pierced his brain, and quickly got up. I don't know if it's because it's so far away, but the horse struggled to get up, shook his head and neighed a few times.

Nangong Jin ignored the blood flowing from his ears, staggered and continued to get on his horse, heading west.

The old wizard sat down in the snow in a languid manner, and his already not burly body was even smaller, and said regretfully: "It's too late to strike, alas, it should have been done a long time ago." ”

Jebu had blood on his ears and face, and reluctantly stood up, "Dawu, I'll chase it!" ”

"It's late." The old wizard sighed, "Go back and move the ministry immediately, as far as you can." ”
