The sun slanted to the west shone on the majestic and tall walls of Tongwan City, showing an eerie dark red. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhu Biao and Liu Ying, the two boys, stared at each other with wide eyes, as if wondering why the color of the city wall of Tongwan City was so strange.

"Don't be exposed." Li Wushu instructed in a low voice. With that, he led the horses of several men to a grassy place behind them and hid them.

At this time, the grassland is flourishing, and in some places the grass can even grow to more than one person's height. There was once a plugged song, "The sky is vast and wild, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep." The lush and towering grass here was just enough to hide the mounts of a few people.

Zhu Biao and Liu Ying, the two boys, lying on the soft meadow, raised their heads cautiously, still looking at the Tongwan City in front of them.

At this time, it was already dusk, and under the sunset, the tall and majestic city walls of the entire Tongwan City showed a gloomy dark red, which made people shudder when they looked at it from afar. Zhu Biao even felt that on the city wall, there were gusts of yin wind like substance blowing from time to time.

Above the dark red city wall, the golden wolf rider at the head of the city can be vaguely seen fluttering in the wind, and there are Tuliao soldiers patrolling back and forth vigilantly below.

The location of Zhu Biao and Liu Ying is in the north west of Tongwan City. This is a low-lying meadow, which is a good place to hide. From this position, they could only see the west wall, and could not see the other three walls.

The two of them looked at Tongwancheng for a while, and they both felt that their eyes seemed to be a little uncomfortable. The two of them subconsciously turned their eyes away and began to look for Brother Li's traces. The two of them tried to find for a while, but they couldn't find Brother Li.

At this time, Li Deyi had already ridden a Humvee around the northeast of Tongwan City, and was quietly hiding in the grass, staring ahead without blinking.

As soon as it is past noon, the city gate will be closed, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave at will, and the whole city will enter a state of intense combat readiness. This is the order of the Grand Governor Ashina Huo'er himself, and if it is not for the war, no one can disobey it.

However, there are always exceptions. That's the benefit of power, it allows you to do things that no one else can do, and to blatantly disobey the ban with impunity.

Ashina Short Terrier is an exception. His father, Ashina Zumastiff, is the patriarch of the "Mastiff" family, the largest branch of the Tuliao Kingdom. His family is prosperous, with more than 500,000 middle-aged men in the clan, and as many as 40,000 golden wolf cavalry.

As the son of the patriarch of such a powerful Ashina branch family, Ashina Short Terrier certainly has great privileges. Even though the chief executive of Ashina Huo'er strictly ordered no one to enter and leave the city gate without permission, he could still take a group of retinues to hunt and have fun in the grasslands outside the city every day after lunch.

Up to now, the Venerable Ashina family has three major branches, as well as several small branches. The three branches are the Ashina Golden Wolf Family, which is the line of Emperor Taizu of the Tuliao Kingdom, and now this line is weakening day by day, and it is no longer the dignity of the past.

In second place is the Ashina mastiff family. This clan was originally an independent one, and then the Ashina Golden Wolf family rose strongly, and the patriarch of this clan at that time saw the opportunity quickly, and the clan took refuge in the Golden Wolf family. Since then, the Ashina Mastiff has been the loyal guardian of the Ashina Golden Wolf Family, and with the Ashina Golden Wolf Family dominating the grassland and invading the world, the status of the Ashina Mastiff family has also risen.

In third place is the Ashina dog wolf. That is, the East Turkistan Liao Ashina Wolf Qing clan. It's just that today's Eastern Turkistan Liao has been seeking self-reliance, and it is rumored that Ashina Langqing has even thought of a country name, which is called Tujin Kingdom.

There are also a number of small branches, such as Ashina Huo'er's family, Ashina Small Dog Department. Although there are not many people in this part, the success rate is not bad, and the Ashina Chihuahua back then was also a talent from this part, but unfortunately he died young and died in the hands of the Dingbei garrison.

However, today, the three major Ashina families of the Tuliao Kingdom have also become a cloud of the past, and their glory is no longer the same. Needless to say, the Ashina Golden Wolf family was killed by the Dingbei Garrison Regiment for two emperors, and then the princes fought for the throne, but they were all killed by Fan Guoshi and almost withered. Although the Ashina Mastiff family is strong, it has been the middle force of the Tuliao State for many years, lacking top power, and until now it has been suppressed by Fan Guoshi and Ashina Huo'er.

As for the Ashina dog and wolf family, it has now been completely separated from Tongwan City, and it is just one country name away. And for this situation, I have to thank Li Deyi.

At the beginning of this year, due to Li Deyi's audacity and kidnapping Zhana Muge, Ashina Wolf Qing's courtship failed. After that, Ashina Wolf Qing used this as an excuse to say that the imperial court was not sincere and intended to deceive himself, and since then he has completely cut off contact with Tongwancheng.

The reason why Ashina Wolf Qing has not yet become emperor is only because his strength is not strong enough for the time being, and the time is not ripe. But everyone knows that sooner or later, he will inevitably establish himself as emperor.

In the current Tongwan City, the Ashina Golden Wolf Family has gradually declined due to the previous rebellion and the fact that the current emperor is a fool. Although the Ashina Mastiff family does not have top power, it accounts for the majority of the Golden Wolf Cavalry because of the large number of adult males, but it has become the largest one.

The basis of the rule of the Tuliao State is the Ashina nobles, and the Ashina Mastiff family is prosperous, and then gently fueled by the situation, it will naturally become the most important Ashina family in the Tongwan City.

The patriarch of this generation, Ashina Zumastiff, is also an old guy who has a lot of city, and he quietly made his family prosperous. This old guy has connected many Ashina branch families vertically and horizontally, forming a loose and broad alliance. Ashina Zumastiff, as the faint chief, is now Fan Guoshi, and he must be respectful to him.

And Ashina Short Terrier, as the only son of Ashina Zumastiff, is rampant in Tongwan City. What others dare not do, he dares to do, and what others dare not say, he dares to say. is Fan Guoshi and Ashina Huo'er, who often scold with the strength of wine.

Ashina Short Terrier relied on his noble background, and looked down on Fan Guoshi, who was originally from Pingzhou, and even more down on Ashina Huo'er, who was of average background but is now in a high position.

Ashina Huo'er's Ashina puppy is only a low-level and very small branch in the Ashina family. Although Ashina Huo'er, the chief executive of the Tuliao Kingdom, is out of the top, it is still difficult to change the weak situation of the family in a short period of time. After all, Rao is your power, and if you want to increase the population and have children, you have to take your time.

Now, although the general manager Ashina Huo'er personally ordered martial law in the whole city, Ashina Short Terrier relied on his father's power and still entered and exited the city gate unscrupulously, and had to hunt outside the city every day until sunset.

And Ashina Huo'er seems to be hindered by the strong power of the Ashina family of mastiffs, so he can only turn a blind eye to this matter and let Ashina Short Terrier act recklessly.

At this time, the noble-born Ashina Short Terrier was riding a majestic Tuliao horse, with a group of men and a dozen hounds, wantonly chasing a herd of yellow sheep.

The horse's hooves quickly stepped through the rows of grass, and Ashina Short Terrier's small eyes shone with excitement, and he desperately whipped the war horse and chased a group of yellow sheep in front of him. He was lucky today, not long after he left the city, he found this group of yellow sheep. It's a good pack of prey, and you can't let it go.

There are about 30 of these yellow sheep, and it seems that they have been running for a long time, and some of them have begun to foam at the corners of their mouths. The hunters behind him were still in hot pursuit, seeing that this group of yellow sheep was about to be cornered and surrounded and hunted.

Ashina Short Terrier looked at the prey that was about to arrive, and couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably on his horse, and with a whip in his hand, he stepped forward quickly, wanting to be the first to shoot the most vigorous ram, which was a leader.

The sturdy ram seemed to have a spirit, and knew that he could not escape death, so he suddenly stopped and did not flee anymore.

Seeing that the leader stopped, the rest of the yellow sheep also stopped one after another.

At this time, the leading yellow sheep suddenly neighed, and there was indescribable tragedy in his voice. The flock was in disarray, and then several sturdy rams stepped out of the flock and stood in a row behind the leader, as if to block the hunters behind him. The rest of the yellow sheep quickly shook off their hooves and continued to flee.

The sturdy head sheep lowered his head and rushed forward with two horns on the top of his head, assuming a charging posture. The rest of the rams also spread their horns.

Seeing this, Ashina Short Terrier looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and a string of Tuliao words came out of his mouth. I guess it probably means that beasts dare to stand in my way.

This Ashina short terrier has two hits, and his riding and shooting skills are quite handsome. I saw him stretch out his bow and arrows, whoosh! An arrow was fired, hitting the majestic head sheep in the abdomen. Sharp, barbed steel arrows easily enter the head sheep's body, crushing large shards of internal organs.

The head sheep struggled unwillingly, trying to use his last strength to overturn the enemy in front of him, and finally staggered a few steps, fell directly to the ground, his chest and abdomen contracted rapidly for a while, and gradually lost his breath. Blood began to flow out of his body along the shaft.

With a wave of his hand, Ashina Short Terrier immediately ordered his entourage to surround him, wanting to catch all the yellow sheep and eat a roast yellow sheep with oil tonight.

Before his raised hand fell, the situation changed abruptly.

Suddenly, a golden glitter flew and hit Ashina Short Terrier's abdomen. With this blow, Ashina Short Terrier opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood, and was directly smashed off his horse and fell to the ground, and his life was already ninety percent gone.

Before the attendant next to him could react, he saw a mule come out of his face, and a man was riding on it.

The hunter who was triumphant just now became the prey in the blink of an eye.

The screams sounded one after another, and Li Deyi killed all the thirty Tuliao attendants without mercy. Those hounds still wanted to be arrogant, and they were kicked by the Hummer one by one, and they all flew away.

After killing all these Tuliao hunters, jumping off the Humvee, and looking at the dead head sheep on the ground, Li Deyi sighed and said, "You are also a seed." I won't eat you. As he spoke, Li Deyi started digging a pit and burying the sheep.

Afterwards, Li Deyi took out some food and water from the surrounding Tuliao hunters, put them on the backs of the three captured war horses, and put the noble Ashina who only had one breath left on the horses, and brought them back to the hiding place of Li Wushu and the three of them.

Seeing Brother Li coming back from afar, Zhu Biao and Liu Ying couldn't help but want to stand up, but fortunately, they realized in time that they were now outside Tongwan City, and there were eyes on the city wall staring at the meadow outside the city at all times. In the end, the two boys only dared to raise their hands and wave vigorously at Brother Li.

Li Wudi looked unhappy, stared at Li Deyi, and didn't speak, but the meaning in his heart was obvious: "I won't be called when I beat people." ”

Li Deyi smiled apologetically at Li Wuyi and said, "I will definitely take you next time." ”

"Brother Li, why did you bring a Tuliao man back?" Zhu Biao saw the unconscious Tuliao nobleman on horseback and asked out loud.

"It's a wolf beast. I'll make him myself later, and you two can follow along. Li Deyi replied in a gloomy tone.

Liu Ying was a little afraid of such a big brother Li, so she didn't dare to squeak and nodded lightly.

That night, Ashina Wooer received the news that Ashina Short Terrier, who often did not take his military orders seriously, had disappeared and had not returned all night. His father was mad and was looking for his son in the city.

In fact, Ashina Huo'er's soldiers intercepted a few fleeing horses, but after reporting them, they somehow sank into the sea and there was no more news.

When Ashina Huo'er heard the news, he only showed an unfathomable smile and coldly ordered: "Triple the number of guards on duty at the city wall tonight. ”

The next day, a soldier came to report that the mount of the noble Ashina Short Terrier had been found outside the city. This time, Ashina Huo'er was shocked, and hurriedly sent soldiers to inform Ashina Zumastiff,

When Ashina Zumastiff heard the news, he hurriedly rushed out of the city with a team of cavalry, wanting to retrieve his son. His son was not lost, but became a piece of a burden hanging on the horse. The bloodied head was in the saddle.

Ashina Zumastiff held his son's head tremblingly with a pair of wrinkled old hands.

A piece of blood-soaked paper pressed under the skull fell to the ground.

Ashina next to him was quick and reached out to pick it up. There is a line of Pingzhou script written on it, but fortunately, Ashina Huo'er has studied Pingzhou script carefully in recent years, and he recognizes this line of characters.

"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth. How many people did the Tuliao people kill in Pingzhou, and in what kind of cruel way. I'll give them back one by one. ”

You don't need to look at the signature, Ashina Huo'er knows that this must have been written by the deputy head of the regiment. The killing methods of the deputy regiment commander Li were better than those of the Tuliao cavalry. Over the years, the Dingbei garrison has never left Tuliao prisoners, as long as their heads. Ashina Huo'er even knew that there were faint rumors in the world that Deputy Regiment Leader Li had descended from the Heavenly Killing Star, and God was not used to seeing the Tuliao tribe killing too much, so he sent it down to punish them.

The splitter tore the paper to shreds, and Ashina Huo'er shouted a barrage of commands with an angry face. If you listen closely, you can still hear the trills in this military order.

Immediately afterwards, more than 2,000 Tuliao cavalry roared out from Tongwan City and began to search for the deputy regiment commander riding a mule to hide in the grassland.

"Brother Li, why did you torture and kill that Ashina nobleman?" Zhu Biao asked while riding a horse and walking north behind Li Deyi.

"Did you see the walls of the city yesterday? Does the city wall look gloomy, extremely sinister, and even show a strange dark red? Li Deyi didn't answer the rhetorical question.

Zhu Biao let out a "hmm".

"The city wall, every brick and stone, every grain of sand, is soaked in the blood of the people of Pingzhou, so it shows that dark red like blood, so there is such a heavy evil aura. Under the city wall, there are still piles of white bones of the people of Pingzhou. This city of ten thousand people was built with the bones and flesh of hundreds of millions of ordinary people. When the time comes, I'll take you two to take a closer look. "Li got a piece.

When Li Deyi said this, he didn't seem to have a trace of emotional fluctuations. But between heaven and earth, a cold wind rose for no reason. This wind, from the desolation, from the countless blood and tears, to the unknown.

When Zhu Biao heard this, he probably felt that he seemed to understand what Brother Li meant, but then he felt that he didn't seem to understand.
