~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The morning sun shone on a pile of extinguished ashes. A big foot in deerskin boots tugged twice on the ashes, and the ashes scattered, dust flying, and the remnants of the masked heat rose up.

As the eye rose with the heat, it could be seen that on top of the deerskin boots was a satin hakama, and the robe on the hakama was actually a leather robe made of wolf skin. The upper body is a crude animal skin robe, and the lower body is a brightly colored and finely made satin...... This shape brightens the blind.

This nondescript guy was a tall man wearing a gold-trimmed fur hat, with a face wrinkled like dried orange peel, and a black and white beard that could not tell how old he was. Although this Hu man is not amazing in appearance and dressed in a funny manner, he has two very special signs: one is that he wears a huge gold ring in his left ear, which is very heavy, and his earlobe is stretched flat and white, which looks strange and deformed. The second is that he has a white mink tail hanging around his neck, which is as smooth as cotton, and he knows that it is a top grade at a glance.

The golden hoop animal skin hat, the golden ring, and the mink tail are not things that ordinary Hu people can wear. Soon, there was a report from someone who confirmed this.

"Judging by the warmth of the ashes and the freshness of the horse manure, they will not be away for more than half a day. The hoof prints show a team of centaurs heading east and a team heading west. ”

Bone Duhou? Within a radius of thousands of miles, there is only one Bone Duhou, and that is the leader of the Yu Khan Department, the right Gudu Hou Morton.

If Lin Tianci was present, he would definitely be able to recognize this strangely dressed Hu man, who was Hou Morton, the right bone of the Han Clan—his golden hoop hat, the golden rings on his ears, and the mink tail on his neck all unmistakably revealed his identity.

Morton looked up to the west, and following his gaze, he could see eye-catching holes in the felt tent stakes, livestock dung everywhere, the fur, internal organs, and blood stains left over from the slaughter of livestock, and the broken and discarded felt tents...... Farther away, there are meandering rivers, rolling mountains, and grass on the plains...... There are also dense grassland herdsmen.

Obviously, this is the station of Zhang Fang and his entourage last night, but it has been occupied by the Hu people at this moment.

Morton withdrew his gaze, tapped his leather boots with his horsewhip, raised a circle of ashes, and spoke—his voice was low and hoarse, as if a handful of sand was stuffed in his throat: "It's clever, the soldiers are divided into two ways, one team of all knights faces west, and the other team returns east on foot, play suspicious soldiers for me." Bu Gusu, will the person you are talking about going east or west? ”

Behind Morton was a guy with a big head and small eyes, a broad face and many beards, thick lips and a flat nose, a face full of scars, two dark red oily glories on both sides of his cheekbones, a huge gold ring hanging from his left ear, and a long and short double knife at his waist.

It is the culprit Bu Gusu.

From the eve before to this time, Bu Guxu's face has been ugly - no matter who has lost nearly half of his strength and is almost trampled to death by a frightened horse, that face will be the same as Bu Guxu.

Hearing Morton's words, Bu Guxu sharpened his yellow teeth, and the creaking sound was like chewing someone's meat: "That person is just a delicate and expensive son, how dare he go west?" He set up this suspicious array to make us think that he would follow the group of knights to the west, but in fact he mixed with the group of slaves and fled east...... Hmph, the nobles of the Han family are as bold as rabbits, but they have a lot of eyes. ”

Morton squinted his eyes and pulled his beard with his hand: "It seems reasonable, but in this way, he is not afraid of being chased by us when he passes through the Shan Khan Mountain, and he will not even have a chance to escape." How dare he take such a risk? Sharuru, what do you think? ”

Behind Morton, to the left of Bu Guxu, was a young man in his twenties, with a bare head, a ring of hair tied into pigtails, and a short-handled axe in his hand.

"Simple. The rabbit runs at two ends, and the wolf chases at two ends. Sharuru's eyes showed a bloodthirsty ferocity, "I'm chasing the east, this person, I must tie it to the tail of the horse with my own hands and drag it to death!" ”

The ferocity in Sharuru's tone was not under Bu Guxu, he hated Zhang Fang more than Bu Guxu, because he was the new Mo Xi Danghu, and the old Danghu had died under the hooves the night before. Whether it is the grassland or the Central Plains, as a son of man, the hatred of killing his father is the same.

Morton smiled, his face wrinkled even more, and his eyes narrowed into a line: "The young man's brain is really useful, and Mo Xi's revitalization is hopeful." Well, lead the rest of your tent in pursuit to the east. I'll give you twenty horsemen to help you. ”

After Morton finished speaking, he turned to Bu Gusu: "I will also give you twenty horses, and enough horses for your clan warriors to ride, do you dare to chase west?" ”

Bu Guxu stretched out his purple-black tongue and licked his thick lips, and sneered: "Rabbits don't dare." ”

Morton smiled dumbly: "Okay, whoever finds out the traces of this person will immediately send me a message, and I will do my best to capture and kill the warriors of the clan." Except for the wizard and the main master, who must be captured alive, the rest of the people, dead or alive. ”

……

Less than a hundred miles away from the Huns, by a long river, a cavalry team of more than ten horsemen was walking by the river, it was Zhang Fang and his party.

Zhang Fang knew that the Huns of the Ba Khan Department might catch up, but he didn't expect the Huns to regard him as a wizard because he used thunder cannons to startle horses and break the camp overnight.

The reason why Morton pursued and killed so hard had two purposes: first, as Lin Tianci analyzed, the Khan Department had to move westward, and someone must be responsible for the death of the Golden Arrow Messenger. The second is the advent of the thunder cannon, which shocked the Hu people. Hu Ren didn't know that it was a new weapon, and took it for granted that it was a wizard's practice to summon thunder and fire. Such an awesome wizard, whether it is Morton, Bonebeard, or Sharuru, wants to get their hands on it.

Along the way, there was only one name hovering in Zhang Fang's mind: Shi Rong.

He didn't have any memory of this person, and tried to ask Deng Zhan and Tao Sheng, but found that this person was actually a celebrity, one of the most well-known powerful sons in Chang'an. Well, Zhang Fang "himself" is also one of them.

However, unlike an old family like Zhang Fang, Shi Rong is an upstart, and he is the only son of Ling Shixian, the eunuch of the current dynasty. This is a real lone seedling, because Shi Xian is already a eunuch, and it is impossible to have an heir.

Zhang Fang had no impression of this Shi Xian - whether it was historical or this body. It's just that when Deng and Tao mentioned this name, they had a look of horror on their faces, and it could be seen that they must be very difficult guys to mess with.

What was the relationship between the former Fuping Young Marquis and Shi Rong, Deng Zhan and Tao Sheng didn't know, because they were originally just Hou Mansion Ding, and they were not qualified to serve the Young Marquis. If it weren't for this accident, they would never have had the opportunity to have such a close intersection with Zhang Fang.

However, there is no need for the two to confirm anything, the facts are in front of you. It was such a man who hired a group of murderers to set up a murder situation in the place where he had to pass, and almost killed him...... No, it really killed him, Zhang Fang, the young marquis of Fuping, is already dead.

When it was found that "Zhang Fang" was not dead, it was still this person, and then he was ruthless, and the killer hired this time was the more ferocious Huns, but Zhang Fang escaped, but Qingxiju fell into the sky......

Zhang Fang has always had a question, the former owner of this body is a prince, it is not good to stay in Chang'an, living his life of "Wuling young gold city east, silver saddle and white horse spring breeze", what is he doing in this contemptible place in the north? It's just that he knocked on the side and asked some things about Shi Rong skillfully before, which already made Deng Zhan feel strange, and it was really difficult to open this mouth again. Let's wait until we return to Chang'an to find out.

Since that soul-devouring night, Zhang Fang no longer has the slightest memory of his original body, only some instincts of his original body remain, so he doesn't understand the grievances and entanglements between the two. But he only knows one thing, now he is Zhang Fang, Zhang Fang is him, since Shi Rong is the mastermind behind the scenes, then if he is not for himself, he will gather the villagers for Qingxi and cut off this black hand!

At the place where his mind moved, the hand holding the sword tightened, and pressed the scabbard circlip.

Zheng! With a dragon roar, the sword popped out half a foot, and the snowy sword body reflected the morning sun, dazzling, and wanted to get out of its sheath.
