Chapter 418: On the Way Home 1
(OK, thank you guys for the monthly pass, let me hold on to the death, a little more motivation!) )
Faced with his father's attitude, Kuroki had to nod yes, and he also knew very well that they couldn't afford to wade in this troubled water.
"Father, should we go to the next place? The Purple Cockroach may not have been offered for a long time! Kuroki reminded, after all, you can't go home empty-handed.
Immediately, I saw Azig and said, "What are you going to do with the Bugs?" Let's hurry back to the headquarters, what if those Wei people touch us? ”
This reminded Kuroki that although they were kings and hegemons in the Hanoi grasslands, it was against those small tribes, and the current potential enemy was the Wei army, which numbered more than 4,000 people.
"What my father said is, then let's go back quickly!" Kuroki said, at this time, it seemed a little urgent.
Immediately, Azig ordered his subordinates to hurry back, and once again looked at the already dilapidated Naiti Division, and even a chill ran in his heart.
"It's definitely not that simple, I see that the grassland is about to change!" Azig said abruptly.
Kuroki was also silent at this time, in fact, he felt this way too.
The Huns have been fighting fiercely, and there have been no major moves for several years, and now they must have made big moves. And now that the Wei people have also begun to intervene, will there be peaceful days in this grassland?
…………
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye!
In the past three days, Wei Wuji encountered two more small tribes, and then destroyed them without accident.
Although these two tribes are better than the Naiti tribe, they are really strong and pitiful, and they are still overwhelmed by the two military marquis, and a game of cat and mouse is staged later.
At this time, Wei Wuji harvested a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, and after rough estimates, it was enough to support the army's salary until next year.
Moreover, things are not so simple, this time Wei Wuji's character finally exploded once, and on a hill on the grassland, he found a large scale of iron ore.
Originally, most people were dismissive of the swarthy stones on the mountain, but Wei Wuji felt strange and went to take a look at the field.
Then he felt strange, at first he thought that it might be coal, and even then Wei Wuji would feel that he had earned it, so that he would not be afraid of the cold on the grassland.
But when I burned it, I found that it didn't burn at all......
So what does this mean? The black stone made Wei Wuji think of iron ore very quickly. And when he recalled it again, he remembered that he had seen it in the blacksmith's shop, and there were indeed such stones.
This discovery made Wei Wuji very excited, because he had just encountered the problem of iron ore scarcity, and God could be regarded as helping him.
The only trouble is that although this iron ore is ownerless, it is on the grassland, and it is difficult to mine it effectively, unless Wei Wuji can control the Hanoi grassland.
As soon as the problem developed to this point, another place came to the fore, that is, the Naturalization City standing on the grassland.
Only by relying on the stronghold of Naturalization City could he Wei Wuji be able to control the grassland, which coincided with his original plan.
At this time, Wei Wuji was a little remorseful, he shouldn't have killed all the people of these tribes, if he stayed to mine for him, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.
But fortunately, after the baptism of blood, these soldiers have undergone another transformation, and they have taken another key step on the road to strengthening the army.
So, Wei Wuji immediately decided to return. Of course, his so-called return was just no longer advancing, he was detoured to the city of naturalization, and then back to the Great Wall.
But this place was marked by him, and in the future he was going to occupy this place, and then he would make a strong army.
It's just that Wei Wuji didn't know that the route he took was exactly where the Tielin Department was located.
…………
Because of the slowing down of their horses, Wei Wuji walked for a day without encountering anything. In fact, it is impossible for cavalry to march at full speed unless you can guarantee that you will not encounter enemies on the road.
When the sun set, judging from the approximate location, they were more than 200 miles away from the people of Naturalized City, that is, two to three days away.
But at this time, they were very close to the Iron Forest Department, because this was the newly relocated tribe of the Iron Forest Department, so the guide was not unaware of this matter.
At this moment, when the whole army stopped preparing to camp, they saw dozens of war horses galloping in front of them.
Moreover, when Wei Wuji looked closely, he also found that it was more than a dozen people in the back, chasing and killing a person in front.
It was interesting, and the visitor hadn't noticed it yet, after all, it was already dark, and it was pitch black everywhere.
But if those people chase after them, they will definitely be discovered, and since this is the case, Wei Wuji will certainly choose to strike first.
So he ordered his guards on the side to take down all the dozen or so people, whether they lived or died.
Wei Wuji's guards, they are carefully selected, absolutely elite...... Winning down those people can be said to be handy.
Within three minutes, the battle was over, and only four of the dozen men were captured, and the others were all slaughtered. These people looked at Wei Wuji and the others, there was obvious fear in their eyes, how could they be Wei people?
And the person who was chased before was also brought to Wei Wuji alive, but when he looked closely, he was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, two or three years younger than Wei Wuji.
"Who are you?" Chen Zhanyan asked.
Seeing this scene, Wei Wuji smiled, and only listened to him: "Master Chen, don't bother, how can these barbarians understand your words, I think it will be easier to kill them directly with a knife!" ”
"Don't kill me!" At this moment, the young man who was tied to the front spoke up, and what he said was the words of the Central Plains.
Although the pronunciation is a little non-standard, it can still be heard clearly, which makes Wei Wuji a little interested.
I only heard him ask: "Who are you, how can you speak my Central Plains words?" ”
The young man stood up and said with some conceit: "I am the blood of the Donghu royal family, so I can naturally speak the Central Plains!" ”
These words surprised Wei Wuji again, people from the Donghu royal family? How did it end up here? So Wei Wuji said: "Aren't the Donghu people all on the Golmud grassland, how can such a royal family like you pop up here?" ”
The young man explained: "My sister and I went out to play, but I didn't expect to be kidnapped by the despicable Iron Forest Department, and they wanted to detain us! ”
Speaking of this, the young man couldn't help but cry and said, "Although I rushed out, my sister was left there!" ”
In fact, hearing this, Wei Wuji's brows were furrowed, and the matter seemed to be more complicated.
"The Tielin Department is a vassal of your Donghu, how can it be disrespectful to you?" Wei Wuji asked.
The young man couldn't help but look at Wei Wuji, and secretly said that this Wei person was careful.
"This Tielin Department has a rebellion, I'm afraid that it wants to kidnap my sister and brother, and then return to the side of the Huns!" The young man who claimed to be from the Donghu royal family explained.
Wei Wuji glanced at him, and then said, "You said that the Iron Forest Department is around here?" ”
This news is undoubtedly even more precious, it turns out that he has unknowingly entered the sphere of influence of the Iron Forest Department.
