Zhuang Yi's long-term plan was guessed by the monk Yangguang, and he didn't plan to continue to talk about it with Yangguang, so he immediately gave Zhang Yitai a look, and the two said goodbye. All the way back to his camp, he saw five Xi soldiers standing in front of the tent, Bian Wu was talking to them, and when he saw Zhuang Yi coming back, Bian Wu immediately greeted him.

"Master! This is the guard of the prince of the arts, saying that the prince wants to see you! ”

"Oh...... All right! You stay in the camp, I'll go and come back!" Zhuang Yi replied casually.

"Zhuang Langjun! That is true...... The prince invited the messenger of Murowei to go hunting together, and you are also invited to go with you, and you can bring your personal guards with you! The leading guard captain stepped forward and saluted according to his chest.

"Hunting...... Good! Zhuang Yi couldn't help but pause, but he readily agreed.

"Then Zhuang Langjun hurry up and prepare! The little one can lead you there......" said the guard captain with a smile.

Without Zhuang Yi's orders, Bian Wu was already cheering and happily went to give the order. After a while, Shagu ran out excitedly and beckoned the guards to gather. Zhuang Yi returned to the tent and put on a Mingguang armor made in Youzhou, put a bow and arrow on his back, thought about it and brought the crossbow with him, and then he brought the dragon spear out of the account, and ordered Shi Dali and other ten people to stay in the camp, and ordered Shagu, Bian Wu and other forty horsemen to accompany them, and everyone wore leather armor, carried bows and knives, led war horses, and walked out of the camp with the guards.

After a short time, he walked out of the camping area, and waited on a small hill with hundreds of horsemen, all dressed in red arrow suits with narrow sleeves, and guards in iron armor. Obviously, he was lightly dressed and obedient, and he did not fight the full honor guard of King Xi's son. Next to him was a black Cheziwei man dressed in gray-white linen clothes and leather armor, and the leader was Bao En, who was looking at Zhuang Yi with his chin held high and disdain.

"Peep...... I thought it was a messenger from Youzhou, but I didn't know that he was just a thief, the son of the world! How about being ashamed to be with such people, how about accompanying you another day? Grace said unceremoniously.

"This ......" Hearing this, he glanced at Zhuang Yi, but he understood it in his heart, and pretended to hesitate to support it.

"Thieves? People in this world are like dogs, and they are more insidious and cunning than thieves. At least our green forest characters are still affectionate, brother in the operation! You say, don't you? Zhuang Yi sneered.

"Huh...... Both of them are my distinguished guests, since they have known each other, then dare to be kind, please save me some face, don't make these senseless disputes, so as not to hurt the peace. Everyone has arrived, let's go now! The operator persuaded impartially.

Grace snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more. Zhuang Yi didn't bother to pay attention to Bao En, and led the guards to follow.

"Our hunting ground this time is at the foot of the Qingniu Ridge on the north bank of Ren Suchen Water in the north hundred and ten miles, where it is called Benniu Plain, there are dense forests and swamps, and there are many kinds of wild animals in the dense artemisia grass that is more than one person high, and what is more interesting is that there are Khitan outposts recently haunted, maybe we are lucky and can slaughter them." Shuri said with great interest.

"What? The Khitan sentinels have all appeared a hundred miles away from your camp, so skirmishes are common, right? Zhuang Yi said in surprise.

"Exactly...... The attack of the Khitans, since last autumn has not stopped, this kind of small fight, we do not suffer, the closest to us is the Khitan Tulu Bubu and the product department, the strength of the Tulu Bubu is stronger, the product department is weaker, these two are the vanguard of the southern invasion, we have always been specialized in the product department, he retracted when he hurt, and recently it is the rangers of the Tulu Bubu who are active. The operator explained.

"So...... Did the prince invite me to hunt? Or let me help you clear the Khitan outposts? Grace asked coldly with a look of displeasure on his face.

"Haha...... It's a matter of luck to clear out the sentry posts, and they only appear occasionally! I heard that you are the number one archer in Murowei, and you are not afraid of the Khitans, right? Let's hunt is the right thing, now it's important to hurry, have lunch everywhere and the department, and rest for half a day, tomorrow you can go to Qingniuling to hunt, and return the afternoon the day after tomorrow, what do you think? He didn't care about it and said with a smile.

"I'm okay...... I just want to see the combat power of the Khitans! Zhuang Yi replied casually, but he secretly paid attention to the words everywhere and the department, after all, after coming to the grassland, he knew something about the five departments of the Xi people.

The patriarch of the department is named Heligu, that is, the grandfather of Shuli, who has been married to King Xi's Ahui Department for a long time, so the blood relationship between the two clans is very deep, and because they are too close, there are many contradictions.

"Good...... Deputy Grace! If you have no objection, then it is settled. This is my captain of the guard, the centurion, named Sherang, and he is also one of the best warriors in a million, let's compete with each other first, and whoever goes to Suotou Creek first will win! How is it? Shuri said, pointing to a tall guard behind him.

The chief of the guard, named Sherang, had a big black and red face, and was about thirty years old, but he only bowed slightly to the two of them and nodded, and did not interject in reply.

"Good!" Grace turned to look at Sheron and nodded indispensably, but said nothing.

Seeing that the two had no objections, they took the lead in urging the horse to rush out, and Sherlang followed closely. Bao snorted and immediately chased after him.

Zhuang Yi turned around and saw that Sha Gu led the guards to mix with the guards in the operation, and the people of Muwei kept a distance of half a mile and followed them unhurriedly on the side, there was nothing to worry about, he also raised his hand and gave the big black horse a whip, the big black horse was suddenly beaten, and suddenly neighed in shock and anger, and galloped madly with his hooves, venting the dissatisfaction in his heart.

The four of them gradually left the guards far behind, chasing each other all the way, and after more than an hour of galloping, Suotou Creek was near, and the war horses of the four gradually divided into superiority. The horse in the operation is a good horse, far ahead of Zhuang Yi and Bao En by nearly half a mile, and Zhuang Yi's big dark horse is quite competitive, always exceeding Bao and Sherlang by three or four horses, which makes Bao Yi very frustrated, but helpless. Sheron looked careless, and didn't seem to be in a competitive mood.

Suotou Creek is just a small river of quicksand with a wide water surface, and when I got to the stream, I had already crossed the river to drink my horses, and when I saw Zhuang Yi and Bao En arrive at this time, I couldn't help laughing proudly.

"Haha...... Grace! Your horse can't do it! I'll look for a good horse to send you ......," said Shuri with a smile.

"Then thank you first!" Bao En replied a little listlessly, he saw that Zhuang Yi had already washed his face with water by the river, and the big black horse was muddying the river with joy, so he dragged the war horse to the upper river bay.

"There are still twenty miles to go everywhere and the ministry, so let's wait here for the guards to arrive." Said in the operation.

"Hmmm! It's ......" Zhuang Yi wiped the drops of water on his face and replied casually.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the guards finally arrived, and sent the guards to report to the place and the ministry, and invited Zhuang Yi and Bao En to go on the road again. After a short time, the patriarch and the aunt of the tribe sent the eldest son and the bone slave to lead the tribal attendants to greet him.

The so-called tribal attendants are composed of the brave young men of the clan and the slave tribes of the patriarch's family. The tribe is a carefully selected warrior, while the slave tribe is simply a house slave. The origins of domestic slaves were complex, ranging from offending clansmen to prisoners of war who fought for their masters in order to obtain a legal identity or to survive on food and clothing.

Among the five tribes of the Xi people, there are the most slaves in the Hebu Division, because he is brave and good at fighting with the bone slaves, and has been the commander of the foreign war in the tooth tent for a long time, and has obtained the most prisoners of war.

"Welcome to the prince, these two are ......" and the bone slave are in their thirties, five short figures sit on horseback, living like an iron tower, he is wearing iron armor, covered with black robes, even more stout and bloated, a slightly black square face, under the two short thick eyebrows, is a pair of slightly violent and fierce big eyes, the chin is full of steel needle-like beard, very majestic.

"Uncle Lao welcomes you, and you are polite!" Shuli bowed on horseback and saluted on his chest, then raised his head and said with a smile: "This is Bao En, the archer of Heichezi Murowei, and this is Youzhou Zhuang Langjun recommended by the patriarch of Xie Ra......"

Before he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at Zhuang Yi, and snorted, his eyes full of disdain. Seeing this, Bao En sneered gloatingly. Zhuang Yi looked up at the sky, as if he had not heard of it.

"Huh...... Those who come from afar are all guests, and they can't be slowed down. I don't know if the Khitans have sent troops to cross the border to harass them in the past few days? He smiled and started the topic.

"It's been peaceful these days, since you're here, come with me!" He Gunu's face softened, and he turned around and trotted ahead to lead the way.

Shuli turned around and said hello, led Zhuang Yi and Bao En to follow the horse, and a group of guards and entourage also followed the horse. Everyone was silent all the way, and Zhuang Yi naturally didn't talk to himself. Moments later, the department and the ministry camp were in sight. He Gunu found a leeward meadow on the outskirts of the camp, and divided a separate camp area for Shuli, Zhuang Yi and others, and the chores of building tents were naturally handed over to their respective entourages.

He Gu Nu invited Shuli and Bao En to meet Heli Gu, but Zhuang Yi was obviously present, but he directly chose to ignore it, which made Zhuang Yi very unhappy, but he came here with the intention of watching the excitement, and naturally he didn't want to do much. After the camp tent was set up, he simply asked Bian Wu to bring a large bucket of water, took a bath, ate some dry food at will, and then fell asleep.

There are too many things these days, maybe it is because he has been in a hurry for half a day, he is really tired, Zhuang Yi slept until the end of the unitary hour before getting up, and walked out of the tent to see, the sky is red and the sun is hanging in the west, and the sunset is gorgeous and colorful. When I asked the guards on duty outside the tent, they all said that they didn't see Shuri and Baoen. During this time, the Bone Slave sent a large cart of food and mare's milk wine, as well as two carts of fodder for the horses, which were collected by Shagu one by one.

Zhuang Yi couldn't help sneering in his heart, he actually sent some food, and what about putting on such a posture without asking? The one who should come will always come, but I want to see why this place and the ministry are in the end, I am recommended by the patriarch of Xie Ra, and the king of Xi Tules agrees, and he and Ligu can not give Tules face.

Just thinking like this, he saw Sherlang striding from behind a camp with a Xi person, and when he arrived in front of Zhuang Yi, Sherlang bowed and saluted: "Zhuang Langjun is still used to being here, this is the head of the guard of the Hegu patriarch, he has something to tell you!" ”

"Oh......" Zhuang Yi agreed lightly and turned his head to look at the officer. The officer was also looking at him curiously, and when he saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said, "This Zhuang Langjun! His name is Simer, and the patriarch of my family has asked me to send a message to you to the feast, and you see if you should go now or ......"

"Hah! Since I am so gracious with the patriarch of Ligu, how can I delay. Since it's a banquet, you don't mind if I bring my entourage, right? ”

"Of course, you can! Please ...... it."
