Cleanly cut off the wolf's head with a knife, but Yang Chen didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, his body was still in the air, and he had already stabbed horizontally in front of his chest, vigilantly scanning his side, beware of a wolf coming towards him.

His reaction was correct, and as soon as the man landed, two vicious wolves roared and pounced on him, apparently seeing their leader killed, which completely aroused their ferocity, and could not care about anything else.

Seeing this, Yang Chen spotted the coming situation, and immediately leaned back, letting go of the pounce of the two wolves in the posture of an iron plate bridge, and at the same time, the knife in his hand quickly slashed upward, and it was cutting through the lower abdomen of one of the evil wolves.

Suddenly, blood spilled down with the intestines and other internal organs, and the wolf also fell to the ground with a wail, and died without much struggle.

Its tragic end immediately shocked the other wolves who were about to move. They were already terrified of the slaughter of the wolf, and now they saw their companions die so miserably, which made them fearful of the prey in front of them, and although they still whined and howled, and made it look like they were about to attack, their movements were obviously stagnant.

And Yang Chen's situation at this time is also not optimistic, surrounded by so many evil wolves, even if he has a superb martial arts, there are places that can't be taken care of, so he can only deal with it carefully and guard the door.

Just when the two sides were facing each other, suddenly there were two loud sounds of fierce wind breaking through the air in front of him, and Yang Chen's eyes flashed, and he saw two sharp arrows piercing the necks of the two evil wolves in front of him who were just about to get up and pounce, and they were nailed to death on the spot with just one arrow. But after the Mongolian people over there came back to their senses, they finally picked up bows and arrows to support themselves.

And after suffering a series of blows, the wolves finally felt feared. After a few whining and roaring sounds, he slowly retreated backwards, no longer intending to attack. Obviously, after losing the command of their leader, they have lost most of their will to fight, and they no longer have the determination to kill the prey in front of them.

But even so, Yang Chen didn't dare to relax a little, a pair of eyes were still staring at the evil wolf closest to him, the knife was horizontal in front of him, and he didn't mean to put it down.

With two more screams, and after two more wolves were shot with bows and arrows, this group of unwilling wolves finally collapsed. After a few whimperes, he suddenly turned around, grabbed his tail, turned around and ran, and soon disappeared into the night, leaving only the corpses of his comrades who had died tragically.

It wasn't until he watched them go away that Yang Chen let out a long sigh of relief, and while putting down the knife, he also followed a stumble under his feet, almost standing unsteadily. Don't look at the time when he broke into the wolf pack and killed the first wolf, it was only a short cup of tea, but the energy spent on it was extremely great, especially when he confronted the wolves just now, he was even more engrossed, and it was more consuming than ever. At this time, as soon as the pressure is gone, I am naturally in a trance.

Fortunately, soon, Huang Feng quickly ran over from his hiding place and grabbed him, so that Yang Chen really didn't fall to the ground in embarrassment. At this time, the survivors on the side of the campfire also hurried over, and before they could get closer, they had already touched their chests with their hands and saluted and thanked them.

However, they all spoke in Mongolian, and Yang Chen, a Ming official, couldn't understand it at all, so he could only stand there a little blankly and smile at them. Fortunately, the expressions on the faces of several people can still be distinguished, and they all understand their good intentions, but they have not caused any misunderstanding.

Just when the two sides didn't know how to communicate, one of the Mongolians asked in a crisp voice: "Are you from the Ming Kingdom?" "It's actually an authentic Ming official dialect.

This made Yang Chen and the others a little surprised. It's not that it's surprising that some Mongolian people can speak the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, in this place close to the Great Wall, many grass people and herdsmen can also speak Chinese, otherwise it would be difficult to sell furs and other products into the Central Plains. But they have never seen a Mongolian person who can speak such an authentic official language than the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Yang Chen was only slightly stunned, and quickly recovered, nodding in response: "Exactly." Are you a herdsman of any tribe in this vicinity? How did you come across these wolves? When he said this, he also looked at the number of people in front of him attentively, and then he saw something strange.

The four people who rushed over were not injured except for the handsome man who opened his mouth to ask, and the others were all colored. And with his eyesight and experience, it was easy to see that they were all wounded by arrows and other weapons, not the marks left by the wolves.

"No, we escaped from the depths of the prairie." This handsome young man, who is not at all like a prairie man, is also sincere, and quickly shook his head, "I really didn't expect to suddenly encounter such a group of wolves tonight......"

At this time, the companion on the side whispered something to him, and he smiled apologetically: "By the way, standing like this is not hospitality, let's go to the campfire and sit down and talk slowly." ”

This smile made Huang Feng lose his mind for a while, and he felt that this man's smile was more exciting than the girls in the Cuihong Courtyard in the county seat. It was Yang Chen, who just smiled back: "Then it's bothering." With that, he followed them back to the bonfire, which was about to be extinguished.

Now that the wolves had been beaten back, everyone naturally had the heart to take care of the bonfire, and soon someone brought some hay and dry wood and added it to the fire, and the flames suddenly rose again. Afterwards, several Mongolian men ran to the dead wolves on the side, carried them over, drew their knives, skillfully cut off the flesh on the wolf's legs, and put them directly on the fire to roast.

Taking advantage of this, Yang Chen talked to the young man again. As a former official of the Criminal Department, he has his own set of interrogation skills, and the other party has no intention of concealing his identity, so soon, he knew the origin of these people.

This group, as they say, came from the depths of the steppes, and to be more specific, from one of the tribes of the Tatars. This tribe called Tasu has always been loyal to the current Tatar chieftain, the little prince Boyan Mengke, and has also contributed a lot to his rise.

It wasn't until the beginning of spring this year that things changed. But it was because the little prince actually had the ambition to invade the Ming Dynasty, and therefore he was ready to launch a surprise attack on a certain key pass of the Great Wall in the autumn and winter.

For this decision of his, many Tatar tribesmen were strongly supportive. After all, as a nomadic tribe on the grassland, their life is indeed very hard, and most of the time they can barely make ends meet. The Ming Dynasty, which is not far away, is so rich that it naturally makes people have the intention of robbing the Central Plains, and some people are even arrogant enough to hope to repeat the glory of the Great Yuan.

But in this piece of approval, there is an outlier who objected, and this person is the patriarch of the Tasu tribe, that is, the father of this young man named Tana, Tabetai.

This Tabetai is indeed a different Mongolian person, not only is not as brave and ruthless as the ordinary Mongolian people, but also deeply admires the Central Plains culture, he has read through many Han classics, not to mention, but also passed on this hobby to his children, which is why Tana can speak so fluent Chinese, this is the origin of family learning.

When he learned that the little prince wanted to gather the forces of the Tatar tribes to invade the Central Plains, he hastened to persuade him to stop it, in the spirit of peace. And in this way, he will anger the vast majority of the Tatars, after all, everyone is still counting on this opportunity to plunder to cope with the next harsh winter, aren't you cutting off everyone's financial resources by doing so?

Even the little prince also had an opinion on this always obedient subordinate. At this time, there happened to be a person who had a grudge with the Tasu Department who went forward with the little prince to slander, and also took out the so-called evidence that Tabetai wanted to escape south and join the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, the little prince was completely angry, and immediately led people to attack the station of the Tasu Department. And after knowing that the matter was irreparable, Tabetai could only hurriedly order his cronies to escort his daughter Tana south to report to the Ming border army, while he led people to defend his homeland......

"But not long after we escaped, Bohuer from Boyan's side chased after us with his troops, and from the mouth of Qingele, who came to the rescue later, I learned the fact that our Tasu tribe had been destroyed by them, and even my father ......" At the end, Tana bowed her head and wept.

At this time, she had already revealed the fact that she was a daughter, so crying like this made me feel a little more pitiful, and I saw that Huang Feng was almost about to cry.

Yang Chen didn't react much, just let out a long sigh: "I didn't expect such a change to happen on the grassland, your father can have such an idea, it's really admirable." ”

"Thank you for saying so much about my father......" After choking for a while, Tana recovered a little, and said: "Along the way, we have been chased and killed by Bohur and others, and many people have been damaged. I thought that with their desperate fighting, we would have been able to reach Datong safely. Unexpectedly, tonight I was attacked by these wolves. If you hadn't come to your rescue, I'm afraid we would all have died in the belly of the wolf. As she spoke, she solemnly bowed her hand to thank her for saving her life.

Yang Chen hurriedly got up to return the salute, and after being busy, he sat down separately. At this time, he said a little strangely: "Why do you want to go to Datong?" ”

"Because my father knows that there is an adult named Yang Yiqing in Datong now, saying that he is a good official, and only by telling him the news can he be exempted from this military disaster......"

"I see. That's a coincidence, we are also preparing to go to Datong, but we can go together. After exchanging glances with Huang Feng, Yang Chen said with a smile.

"That's for the best." Tana said happily too. Now that the group of them are all wounded, they really need someone to help them. Moreover, as foreigners, they really need to be taken to Datong by people from the Ming Kingdom, so it is more credible to speak in this way.

They didn't know that in fact, Yang Chen and they also needed such a group of people to endorse themselves.

While speaking, the wolf meat was finally cooked, and the aroma immediately aroused the appetite of Yang Chen and the others. So, at the invitation of Tana and the others, the two of them drank mare's milk wine honestly and unceremoniously and ate the roasted wolf meat.

Although this mare's milk wine is a little sour, it is not very suitable for the taste of the Han people, although this wolf meat is also a little old and hard, but it is already a rare enjoyment for them who have been hungry for several days and have not eaten a full meal seriously.

Only pity these wolves, who originally planned to hunt and feast, but ended up being the mouth and stomach of this prey......
