The sword was placed on the stone, this was not a stone that could make the copper sword sharp, and the bronze sword was already round and blunt, but it could not hide the anger inside. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The owner of the sword did not put the sword back into its leather sheath, just sat like this, listening to the people of the council in his ears, and vaguely heard something like what should be sent more troops to Yangguan, but his ears forgot in his heart, and he couldn't remember what these people said.

His heart was quiet, and the song of the night echoed in his ears, until the sound of horses' hooves sounded and he clenched the hilt of his sword sharply, for he could tell that the voice belonged to his companion who had followed the white horse.

Perhaps it was just a coincidence, but when he saw the wolf's skin, the people with the white horse were actually not far from them; After a night's rest and heading to Summer City, Hakuba also sent an envoy to Summer City first.

The story until September 15 is the same, but the difference begins on September 16.

"The moon was very round that night, and it had risen early. The white horse asked from the man who had been sprinkled with salt, now that the various settlements on the grassland hate us to the bone, and there are not many people left in the big villages of the northern tribes, it is a good opportunity. ”

"I remember the white horse saying that there were so many stars in the sky that there were as many people as there were in the city, but when the moon came out, people always looked up and saw the moon first. If you live, you must be the moon, not the stars. As soon as he said it, I felt reasonable, who doesn't want to make some merit in the war now, there are so many people in the city, who knows you in your ordinary life? ”

"Eighty men brought some food, avoided the river bank and walked for six or seven days, and came across a large village, which happened to have not much to eat, and the horses were tired."

"It was very dark that night, the moon rose late, and there was a fire in the village, so I threw away the little mutton that was left from the previous night, and thought that I would have a good meal tonight."

"Half of the men in the village were requisitioned, and there was no resistance at all. When he was arrested, he said that the leader had issued an order that the group of people who had killed people and set fire on the grassland had gone to the east. When the white horse heard this, he was happy, and said that he must have burned down a few more villages, and if it was done, they would have to take half of the credit for going back. ”

"There can be two or three hundred women in that village, and more than four hundred slaves, who have eaten a full meal, learn from Ji Xia to let this group of slaves kill women, and select more than two hundred who can ride horses, and follow us."

"Those slaves can't fight, the white horse said that they don't need to line up to set up a formation, as long as they can ride horses and dare to kill, those herdsmen are also miserable, don't talk about work, they will be arrested and sacrificed at every turn. Those people believe in the spirit of war, they want to smash off their skulls and drink blood, and when we let them kill people, one by one they didn't dare at first, so I went up and taught them how to cut their scalps, and told those shepherd slaves that if he cuts yours, you will cut theirs too. After cutting a few, the shepherd slaves were red-eyed and killed all over again. ”

"I was worried that there would be too many people and we would walk slowly, but Hakuba said that we would be there in three days, and even if there was a report, they wouldn't be able to come back, and no one thought that we would be able to go so far."

On the way, the scouts saw several villages, but the white horse did not move, and he said that he would kill them when he returned, so as not to starve when he returned. If it weren't for Ji Xia asking us to listen to him, if it were me, I would definitely not have thought of coming back. ”

"When we got to that village, it was really big, and it was estimated that there would be seven or eight hundred people. They don't farm, and no matter how big it is, there won't be enough pasture, and the men are halfway gone, and there aren't many people left. ”

"At that time, Bai Ma said that when Ji Xia left the city, he had to keep someone to supervise the city, and the same is true for this big village, and if the leader is not there, he must leave someone behind, if this person can be caught, it will not be an ordinary merit, just like if we fight with Echeng and arrest the number nine......"

He said that once the fight started, the man would definitely run, so the score of forty men went to the back to ambush. We will catch the grass, and the white horse himself will certainly not be able to go, and neither will the slaves. Eighty men, seventy-nine grasses, and I caught the longest one. Hey, at that time my brother caught the shortest, angry and scolded. ”

"Before leaving, my brother snatched the little wine left in my gourd, saying that if I really caught someone, I don't know how much wine there was when I returned to Xia Cheng. I thought at the time, it's okay if I don't drink, so I thought I wanted to go out with the women in the city like the tanuki, and if it was done, I guess the woman would think I was very powerful. ”

"I don't know how the battle of the white horse was fought, but we left one side on fire, and we hid on the side where there was no fire. In just two hours, a group of people rode their horses in a panic and ran this way. At the beginning of the ambush, the white horse made it clear that the horses had to rest for a while after running for two hours, and it was when they couldn't run, and I saw that there were not many people, but one by one they were wearing either mink or fox skin, so they rushed over with people. ”

"I just stared at a woman, and said that killing is killing, and that white fox skin should not be glued with blood. Later I found out, guess who this woman is? ”

"Hey, this woman turned out to be the woman of the chief's brother, and the chief's brother turned out to be the chief, and after he died, he became the leader of the younger brother, and the horse, and the woman, all became his brother's. He still looks good, not very strong, but his hair is like the evening sun, and his skin is as white as thatch, and I chased after it, and the first sword stabbed the second sword before he died, but unfortunately the white fox skin was gone. ”

"After killing a few more, I saw an old man with so many human scalps hanging around his neck, all of them dying, still holding a skull in his hand, and two young people next to him were desperately guarding, and I knew that this person must be the person who the white horse asked me to catch."

"Those two young men were good fighters, and I didn't fight him, so I took seven men to draw their bows together, and they were shot dead in one round. I ran over and dragged the old man down and tied him with a straw rope. ”

The skull he held in his hand was different, it had a shiny layer of something like copper, but it wasn't copper, it was brighter than copper, and it was lined with a skull. The blood poured in, and when it was poured lightly, it all flowed out, and it was not sticky at all. ”

"Later, I learned that this skull is really different, this is before their tribe moved from the west, someone picked up a yellow stone when they were playing in the water, it is very bright, and it is very heavy, and it is not like us to smelt copper with charcoal, and it is bright when it is picked out, but it is very soft."

"They made seven of these skulls in the west for the most powerful witch priests of the tribes. It seems that they fought because they believed in the spirit of war or the spirit of the earth, and the tribe moved away. In addition to their occupation of the salt pans, this skull is also the reason why many small tribes who have moved here follow them. It seems that the tribes from the west have come several times to ask for this skull, but they will not give it. ”

"It's really pretty, I haven't seen it before, but the first time I saw that yellow and clear color, I thought it was so good."

"By the time I take this alive to find the white horse, the slaughter over there has already been completed, and the ground is full of dead sheep, and the blood has stained the grass red, and the grass will definitely grow very tall next year."

"None of us of the eighty died, and we let so many slaves go, and we rode four or five horses as we went. When the shepherd slaves came back with them, the white horse said to the shepherd slaves, "In the past, they took you as herdsmen, but you see, in fact, they have one head, but now you have horses and weapons, go and arrest them as herdsmen." Come back with us, and be a wild ......."

"When those shepherd slaves heard this, they thought that they still didn't come with them, and there were about forty of the three or four hundred people left, and the rest drove sheep or something to learn from us to find and kill other settlements."

"Actually, I know that the white horse is deliberate, let those shepherd slaves lure away those tribesmen who take revenge, and they can't fight, the more people there are, the slower they go, if they are really caught up, they will not be as fast as our people. And these shepherds don't need us to teach them, they will definitely make the teeth of those slave owners hate. ”

"We went in opposite directions with the shepherds, and chose the best horses, and there was nothing to bring back except horses. When we came back, the few villages we had left behind were just enough for us to eat, and we had prepared hay and everything. We killed as we went, the village was not very big, and sometimes before we could kill them, people would run away first. ”

"There are sick horses on the road that can't run, throw them away, at first there was a village, and then they killed horses and ate them, but horses are more than sheep, and killing one is enough for us to eat, but the meat is too coarse, not as good as mutton."

"Ji Xia, you left us three hundred horses when you left, and we brought back four hundred horses after killing a circle. At first, we didn't know how to ride horses, so we pedaled on a footrope and rode for a few days with blood in our thighs. Now all the people who came back could ride horses, the flesh in their thighs was scarred, and the forty shepherd slaves they brought back were also good horsemen. ”

He finished with a fluttering eyebrow, and took a skull from his pocket containing the white fox's skin and placed it on the stone in the council hall.

There is a layer of gold in the head cover house, the processing is not fine, it may be the dog's head gold that was picked up, after all, the metallicity of gold is too lazy, most of it is simple in nature, and the texture is soft, the ductility is excellent, and it does not need to be too finely processed, and it can also be very thin in the sense of this era.

Even though the people in the council hall had never seen gold, and gold was not given the meaning of a high-level equivalent, the glittering luster of the evening firelight made people involuntarily fall in love with the metal.

Many isolated tribes in previous lives, and even the Old and New Worlds have not been connected for tens of thousands of years, but gold has invariably become the favorite metal of various civilizations.

Under the flickering glow, the messenger smiled and bared his teeth, put a few fox skins next to the skull, and said with a smile: "When the white horse returns, what will the city reward him?" He said that the skull and the witch priest who had caught it would give half of the credit to the seventy who had separated. (To be continued.) )
