The technology of the Tiger Clan's artificial snow house is beyond everyone's imagination, at least beyond the imagination of Lin Ji. Although their igloos are quite short and narrow, they are all domes and have passages connecting several igloos, so people can move inside and hardly have to go out. There are also holes in the house for venting, and there is no problem with burning a small fire inside.

These snow huts are scattered on the snowfield, and without the Tiger Clan people to lead the way, Lin Ji and the others are afraid that it will be difficult to find them.

And the Tiger people really live in small tribes. Even if it is a winter gathering, there are only a hundred people in each settlement, and after the young man leaves, there are only thirty or forty people left in each settlement. The Tiger Clan led everyone to four or five places before capturing all the old and young of the Tiger Clan.

In the past few days, the snow monster has been following Lin Ji and the others, so everyone's actions are also going well. These old and young people didn't have much combat power, Lin Ji and others rode elephants to break through those snow houses, and the people behind were surrounded by snow monsters, and the battle was basically over.

Lin Ji and his entourage captured two hundred tiger clan elders and children, so that the sleigh could not be pulled. The old and infirm were put under the sleigh to walk, and those who could not keep up were abandoned in the snow. The Tiger people are also numb to this, and seem to be accustomed to it.

When we returned to Juyingpo, we could see the smoke from a distance, and the horses and elephants were still in full swing in the snow.

The snow monsters who had followed all the way here refused to go any further.

They grabbed Xiaobai and roared or screamed, as if they were persuading Xiaobai to return to nature together. Xiaobai looked at the forest trails, and then at these snow monsters, and also responded with a low roar, but he didn't move his feet.

The two sides talked for a long time. The largest snow monster first turned his head away with an iron rod, and after walking away, he roared, and the other snow monsters behind him touched Xiaobai and turned away one by one.

Xiao Hei was the last to leave, he reached out to hug Xiao Bai, and when he turned around, Xiao Bai also pulled it up, asked Lin Ji for a bag of sweets, and even stuffed the bag into it.

Xiao Hei screamed a few times happily, happily carrying the bag and chasing other snow monsters.

Xiaobai stood in the snow and watched them leave, but he didn't follow after all. This reunion after farewell greatly alleviated Xiaobai's previous sorrow and made him less sad about this separation.

Or maybe it understands, in fact, the separation is not never seen again.

The snow monster walked away, and the warriors of the Mongolian tribe who were training came out.

Yuan Xiao wore sunglasses, rode a big black horse around Lin Ji and others, and finally took off his sunglasses to look at the big footprints of the snow monster on the ground, and exclaimed: "Xiaobai has found his family?" Or did the king subdue another group of snow monsters? ”

The rest of the Mongolian tribal warriors who came out were also surprised when they saw these big footprints. Then they looked at the captives on the sleigh and looked even more amazed.

The Tiger Clan, all of them are Tiger Clansmen. The king got so many tiger people back at once, did he wipe out all the tiger people?

The Tiger people are fierce, and there are only thirty people in the king, and it seems that not a single one of them is lost. Don't......

Someone looked at the big footprints in the distance, and they had already made up the scene of the king driving thousands of snow monsters to fight with the tiger people. Their worship of the forest trails suddenly became like the water of the Yellow River, gushing endlessly.

Explanation is naturally none.

Lin Ji handed over the captives to the people who ushered in him, and he took Xiaobai back first. Xiaobai's mood is not right, if he doesn't hold back and run, then he will have no place to cry.

And he went out for more than a month this time, and he felt that the mud on his body was enough to rub a pound. He's going back to take a hot shower.

At this time, he finally believed that people were made by Nuwa with mud, otherwise it was really unclear where the mud came from. He didn't feel anything when he was outside, and he didn't wash when he could take a bath in the small town, but he felt that at this time he felt that he didn't bubble and rub it, and he was very uncomfortable.

After a brief greeting and a general inquiry, he returned to the stockade on the hillside. He also wanted to move the water heater from the small town, but found that in his house, Hu Erge had already brought two young girls to boil the water.

Lin Ji put the bathtub in the house, and suddenly asked the two girls to help pour the hot water, and ran away with a giggle.

The two girls introduced themselves to Lin Ji in a stammering Ji Lin accent. They were all members of the Sudden Clan, and they were rescued by Lin Rui from the Horse Hunters. After a period of recuperation, he regained his health, and he became as clear and beautiful as suddenly. Last time, Lin Ji probably complained about not having a caring person when he came back, but he suddenly got into his heart, so he specially picked the two of them out.

During the time that Lin Ji was away, the two also received some training on the living habits of Chaolin City. I also learned a little bit of language from the people who came to Chaolin. Now he happened to be pushed over by Sudger.

At this time, it is actually the most comfortable for someone to rub their back. It's just that after the two girls poured the water, in addition to helping Lin Ji undress, they also took off their own clothes, which made people unbearable.

The body is actually very needy, but thinking that there are too many things involved after doing this, Lin Ji decisively used the killer weapon and shouted: "Xiaobai-"

Xiao Bai, who stuffed a mouthful of food, pushed the door in, and then even the white horse kicked in. The two girls were immediately pushed out of the house.

Xiaobai's hand has its own brush, and the strength is ...... If only it could be lighter. Of course, this is not the time to pay attention to this. Lin Ji had to hurry up and clean his mud. Otherwise, the bath water will be drunk by the white horse.

The white horse, who likes to drink hot water, doesn't know if it has crossed over from the afterlife. But I've never heard of drinking bathwater......

Hurriedly washed and changed into clean clothes, Lin Ji went out and shouted: "Meeting!" ”

Before he could say anything, people gathered around him from the corners of the surrounding walls. Seeing that there were Suo Yi and a few more prestigious old men in the crowd, and the two girls were caught in the crowd and bowed their heads silently, Lin Ji knew that things were really not so simple, and couldn't help but glared at Suo Yi and a few others.

The so-called meeting is actually a dinner party to eat ginseng and chicken hot pot. There is a lack of pheasants in this vicinity, and the chicken is still found from the small town.

Except for Lin Ji himself, there is no problem for others to make up for it. An old one really got a nosebleed from eating.

Lin Ji talked about the effects of ginseng, and also talked about the encounter with the snow monsters. The Mongol tribes immediately had two more rules. One, don't take the initiative to kill snow monsters. Second, be ready to receive snow monsters who come to change ginseng.

After Lin Ji finished speaking, it was time for everyone to report. The main report is the collection of people.

Lin Ji went out for a long time this time, and teams were constantly being sent out later. The plan was for a thousand elephants to go out in teams of a hundred, and almost all the warriors would take turns to go out once. By this time there were already thirty teams that had gone out and returned.

The thirty teams returned some with a full load, some with empty hands. In total, more than 1,100 people were brought back, plus nearly 300 people brought back by the forest traces, and 1,500 people were collected, which is also a remarkable achievement.

Of course, there are also many problems in this, and it is inevitable to sum up the lessons of failure and promote successful experience.

However, Lin Ji felt that the biggest problem was that three of the teams that went out on the same day as him had not yet returned.

"Something must have happened. We have all the livestock, and we have sleds. In this case, even if you walk 50 kilometers a day, you can walk at least 1,500 kilometers so far. Even if you walk back and forth, you can reach 750 meters away. And they were all the first to go out, and it was impossible to go so far. Lin Ji analyzed.

Fifty kilometers a day is considered a relatively conservative approach. Just like a sled, it is easy to walk 100 kilometers a day.

A little later, after the hot pot was withdrawn, Lin Ji took out the hand-drawn map of the grassland and drew a 750-kilometer circle on the map. Within the reach of this circle, there is no record at all. That is, they could not have gone that far.

Lin Ji counted the directions of the current departure team and drew them on paper.

Two of the three teams went to the west and one team went southwest.

Because there are a lot of teams sent, in fact, there are also teams that go in these two directions, and no team meets them.

After drawing the route and the in-depth location, Lin Rui unexpectedly found that the people to the north had already walked 600 kilometers to the north.

"So, who can tell me what the hell happened to them? Why didn't these people meet the wolf people when they went to the north? Lin Ji looked up and asked.

Baeyang and Yuanxiao, who stayed here to preside over the situation, couldn't answer. They didn't think it was serious before, but now after Lin Jiyi's analysis, they found that things were unusual.

In fact, the answer is already on the horizon. It's just that the seriousness of the matter is still beyond the expectations of Lin Ji and others.

Forest Ruins strengthened its vigilance to the southwest and west, and sent men to search in both directions. And the men sent out at this time are all in teams of sixty people.

After more than ten days, someone finally brought a definite answer to Lin Ji. Because the man who went out to look for it picked up one of the three missing teams.

The teams that were previously sent out generally consisted of three teams of ten. One team is a team of ten elephant riders from Chaolin City, and the other two teams are ten horse riding teams from the Mongolian tribe. The temporary commander of the team was the captain of the Elephant Ten.

The temporary commander of the team who was picked up was named Hong Zhu. When he returned, there were only 17 men left, and there were no horses or elephants left. More than half of the 17 people had chilblains. But not a single one was traumatized by the fighting.

Lin Ji had never seen such a serious loss in non-combat before before, and asked Hong Zhu sharply, "Where is your mount?" ”

"We killed you." Hong Zhu looked ashamed.

Lin Ji was so angry that he pulled out his scimitar: "If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I have to chop you today!" ”

The pain of mahing, horse training, anyone who has participated in it knows. There are also many people who have paid with their lives. Therefore, whether it is Chaolin or here, everyone is like a partner and relative to these tamed animals.

This is certainly the first time that livestock have been killed on such a large scale.

Hong Zhu knelt on the ground, and the sixteen people behind him also knelt down together. Among the sixteen people, some people wanted to argue, but Hong Zhu interrupted them with a wave of his hand: "The king has his own judgment. ”

As he spoke, he untied his layers of clothes from himself, took out a leather bag from inside, and after untying it, he took out a small leather bag and handed it to Lin Ji.

Lin Ji opened the leather bag and took out a notepad the size of a wallet in the future.

This kind of notebook is produced by Chaolin Castle, and it is generally given to officers or officials to write down their notes.

Lin Ji took a look, and the cover read: The words "The 4,000th Team, the 600th Team."

The place where the round smile is is the 4,000-man team. This is the commander of ten under his command, and the temporary commander of a team that has not yet returned.

"Did you see that?" Lin Ji asked Hong Zhu casually.

"I didn't see him, I saw one of the warriors of his squad." Hong Zhu replied and motioned for Lin Ji to open it and take a look.

There are some messy things in the front of the book.,It's a normal study and memo or something.。 Lin Ji hurriedly flipped over, and when he got to the back, he finally saw what Hong Zhu wanted to show him. That's the text in paragraphs.

"Letter to the King. Dawang: Blazing the center to China. However, after the wolf clan killed the Chuansheng department, they let the fox clan infiltrate our team. I didn't notice, and I was tied up. The wolf people threatened me with the horse protector Xiangzhuo, and I could only surrender with my brothers. But don't worry, the king knows that the grassland is vast, and we will take the wolf clan away to the west, at least 2,000 kilometers away, so as not to let them become the scourge of the king. Although it is a joke of Chaolin, today it can be regarded as a big disaster for the king. Leave a word in the blazing. ”

After reading it, Lin Ji handed the book to Yuan Xiao. Yuan Xiao read the letter.

The Chuansheng mentioned in the letter is another team that has not yet returned. Now it seems that they have been killed by the wolf people.

Lin Ji waited for Yuan Xiao to finish reading the letter, turned his head and asked, "Why don't I know about this blazing?" ”

Although he recognized all the faces of the ten-captain brought by Yuanxiao, most of them did not remember the name. Although he knew the names of the temporary commanders of the three teams these days, he didn't know much about them.

Now what Lin Ji is asking is, this blazing can actually write letters, he actually didn't know this person before.

Although Lin Ji has been carrying out cultural education for several years. But in fact, there are not many people who can read and write. It stands to reason that a person with this level should have followed Lin Ji to take a class and become a centurion. But Lin Ji found that he had no impression of him, and that he was only a ten-master commander.

Yuan smiled: "This person joined Ji Lin in his early years, has done a lot of things, and is also smart, so he is literate and can count." But he is rough, likes to talk empty words, and is not brave. Not suitable to be a centurion. We have also recommended that he be transferred to the civil service. But he had a falling out with Lamb's daughter before...... Arc doesn't want him. ”

As soon as Yuan Xiao said this, Lin Ji remembered. Before he came out, Lamb had a young daughter and a ten-captain staged a vigorous love affair, the process was tortuous, several flips, and the result was fruitless. This incident has become a joke in Chaolin City. I didn't expect the protagonist to be this blazing.

"And who is this Xiangzhuo?" Lin Ji asked again.

I don't know this round smile. Bayang helped to ask the people around him, and after a long time, a clansman who suddenly became a man whispered: "It may be a woman from a small tribe in the mountains, and the legend is as beautiful as a flower." ”

Hong Zhu continued: "I heard from that subordinate in the blazing that they just subdued this tribe. After a few days of getting along, Chi Zhong and this Xiang Zhuo fell in love. After the Blazing Medium was captured, he felt that he could no longer lose this Xiangzhuo, so he voluntarily surrendered to the wolf clan. Many of the others who surrendered to him not far away were killed by him. Only one person took his notebook and was let go by him. ”

"You met him later?" Lin Ji asked.

"It was he who lit the fire and we saw it."

"What about this man?"

"Dead. When I met us. He was wounded, and we couldn't save him. ”

"So what does this have to do with your late return from killing livestock?"

"I'm going to kill Blazing on my own initiative. But we didn't catch up and had a blizzard. ”
