Si Jinyao got up randomly, and no longer let Si Tuxing kneel and bow, but just bowed his head and replied:

"Little prince, I have already played the imperial court, and asked Situ to be your deputy general and vanguard and follow you on the expedition, and the saint has agreed, so I brought him here today to discuss the expedition with us."

Ling Xingyue had already known about this matter, and she also knew that it was a holy will that could not be changed, so she did not politely refuse, but just nodded slowly, waiting for the many matters to be carefully discussed next.

Steward Liu first took out a few secret letters and passed them on to a few people, and then everyone decided on the basic matters, and first sent capable soldiers to inspect everywhere, including Ling Xingyue and Situ, who would personally inspect the situation around the ranch as much as possible, and arrange the next battle at any time according to the situation around the ranch and the changes in the frontier.

Since the Holy Lord had given Ling Xingyue the will to temporarily exercise authority, then they would try their best to make use of this right and try to make the pasture herdsmen suffer less from this war, and it would be better if they could not let this war continue to the "Lan Ke Ranch".

Ling Xingyue thought about yesterday's discussion, he already had his own plan for this war, and he didn't worry too much about the matter, but he and Man'er were able to reconcile, which made him even happier in his heart.

Ling Xingyue strolled on the grassland with the horses, her heart didn't know where it had drifted for a long time, she only remembered the appearance of Lan Keman when she called her brother, and she smirked from time to time, if someone watched from the side, she would definitely make fun of this stupid boy who wanted to be a daughter-in-law, but there was no one in these four fields, so this stupid boy was confused.

Fortunately, the horse under the crotch has been raised in this pasture since childhood, that is, the owner knows where to go without greeting, although it is a stupid carrying, but it is always good that the horse has a foundation, and a man and a horse ran unhurriedly towards the pasture in the northwest direction.

Walked straight to the three poles of the sun, and it was almost there, Ling Xingyue on horseback woke up, and suddenly saw that she had arrived here, smiled embarrassedly, and patted the horse's neck again,

"You guy, you came here quietly, it's amazing"

The horse raised his head and hissed slightly, a little bit of a request for merit,

"Okay, okay, when you get to the place, I must give you some sweetness, are you satisfied?"

Ling Xingyue smiled, looking ahead, the endless green grassland seemed to be empty and flat, but in fact, the slope was undulating, and from here only a few wisps of cooking smoke could be seen from afar, rising on the other side of the mountain.

"I don't know what Uncle Nong will do to make delicious food, if there are milk skin mushroom dumplings, it will be a blessing."

Thinking of the strong fragrance and strong taste, Ling Xingyue couldn't help but lightly step on the stirrup, and the horse under him also felt the master's intention and began to run.

After running for a while, Ling Xingyue crossed the hill, the pasture point under the mountain, appeared, this pasture point by the mountains and rivers, built a big fence, on the edge of the fence, is the wood pulled from a distance, made of more than a dozen neat wooden houses, it is noon, it should be the cattle and sheep running happily, the lively scene of cooking smoke. But suddenly it became quiet, and clumps of black smoke did not rise from the stove, but after several wooden houses had been burned.

In the fence, not a single large or small livestock can be seen, only dense hoof prints remain, which can be seen how many livestock there used to be here.

Ling Xingyue knew at a glance that it was not good, immediately on the top of the mountain, looking around, but he couldn't see any decorum, the valley was quiet, only a few lines of black smoke proved the calamity suffered here.

Ling Xingyue rode down the mountain, galloped up and down for only a few times, and then rushed to the pasture point, turned over and dismounted, took out the saber and hand shield on the horse's back, and quietly sneaked to the vicinity of the wooden house.

Turning to another room, it was the same, but there were a few more knife marks at the door, it seemed that there was a lot of resistance in this room, but there was no obvious bloodstains, and there were no corpses all over the ground, Ling Xingyue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and finally felt a little relieved.

I took a look in a few rooms, and found that they were all the same, the bulky guys were all broken and burned, everything that could be taken away was taken away, the same was true for livestock, horses, cattle and sheep, there were no left, all of them were driven away, except for the footprints of miscellaneous arguments on the ground, there were traces of some pots and firewood, leftover bones, thrown away, but around the bones, there were no dog footprints.

Ling Xingyue rummaged carefully in the place where there were traces of the pot holder, and finally found a small round bead in a small dirt pit, which was colored and had holes on both sides, which immediately alerted Ling Xingyue, "It's actually Vala." Ling Xingyue, who lives in the north all the year round, knows that only the Walla people are used to carrying brightly colored beads on their bodies, and these northern nomads have always lived in pursuit of water and grass, and have a habit of plundering. I just don't know, how did they know that there was a pasture here, and they could sneak in and capture all the people, you must know that this pasture point, but there are dozens of people, all equipped with bows and horses, and it is by no means easy to loot successfully.

Ling Xingyue looked back and whistled, her horse rushed to the front like a gust of wind from outside the camp, Ling Xingyue hung the sword and shield on the horse, looked at the dry food and water bag that were still enough for three or four days, and patted her horse, "Old man, we have to work hard this time, thank you for your hard work." The horse shook its head and snorted, its front hooves took off, and neighed a few times, as if to say, "You rub a fart, hurry, let's catch up with those miscellaneous pieces and teach them how to behave." ”

Ling Xingyue no longer hesitated, turned over on the horse, looked at the hoof prints of those cows and horses, spread the reins, one person and one horse, and went straight to the north.

On the grassland, the hoof prints of cattle and horses are not easy to identify, but the traces left by the place where the large herd of livestock have walked are obvious, thousands of cows, horses and sheep in this pasture point naturally stepped out of a road, and then looked at the house that was still smoking, Ling Xingyue knew that he and the raiding team should be separated by a day's journey, and his horse was fast, I was afraid that it would be able to see it at night.

Ling Xingyue's legs strengthened, and the war horse that stepped down galloped away as if it had wings, and one person and one horse walked away in an instant with the footprints on the grassland.
