Chapter Twenty-Seven: Suspicious

On the way back to the grassland, Bileg's brows were furrowed and his heart was heavy, and he always felt that there was a fog behind this matter that he could not see.

Sukhbaru and the other leaders knew that this shaman, who had the title of the first wise man of Humore, was more thoughtful, and often fell into this kind of contemplation, and did not care.

After leaving Black Hawk's sight, Sukhbaru immediately sent a team of cavalry to the Valley of Flames to check and verify Bai Qi's words.

As the team moved north, Bileg, who was looking down and contemplating, was suddenly attracted by the messy horseshoe prints on the ground, and when he looked up, he couldn't help but gasp, only to see that in the desert ahead, a large number of horseshoe prints had been extending to the northeast.

Billegh turned around, and he saw that the horseshoe prints coming from the northeast were not far behind them, and suddenly turned a bend and extended to the west, and they had actually just stepped into the path of the horseshoe prints.

Bilegg hurriedly summoned one of his ten-captains and asked him to lead the men to follow the direction of the horse's hoof prints.

These horseshoe prints apparently also caught the attention of several Sukhbaru people.

These experienced Mongolian horse thieves could see at a glance that the number of horses in the horse team was at least fifteen hundred or more to step on such a large hoof print.

In this vast and sparsely populated land with a poor living environment, it is rare for such a large horse team to appear, which cannot but arouse their alarm.

Half an hour later, the Captain of the Ten, who had gone to investigate, returned, and told the chiefs that the horses' hoof prints had circled around the Moon Lake, and finally disappeared in front of Huangsha Town, west of the Moon Lake, he judged. These horseshoe prints are supposed to have been left by the Black Hawk Thieves.

This news dispelled one doubt in the minds of the leaders, but it brought more doubts. Why did the Black Hawk Thieves come from the Northeast? Shouldn't they be hiding in the Gobi Desert to the west? Why are they going around in circles?

One question after another made the leaders of these Mongolian horse thieves have a hint of foreboding in their hearts.

The team continued to move forward, dozens of miles later. To their astonishment, the Black Hawk Thieves had taken a striking resemblance to the route they had taken back to their lair.

Two days later, the weary Humor cavalry passed through the bluestone pass, and on the way they found the traces of the black eagles on every grassy beach where they could graze, and these marks gave the leaders a bad feeling in their hearts, urging them to hurry back sooner.

After passing through the bluestone pass. Led by the attentive Sharman Billeg, the group found the valley where Black Eagle had rested for the night, and this discovery made the leaders even more anxious, urging their men to rush in the direction of the tribe at full speed.

Returning to the tribe, it was surprisingly peaceful and there were no accidents at all.

Sukhbaru immediately summoned the remaining 100 households and asked them about the time they had left. Have you found any foreign cavalry cruising in the steppes?

The answer he received was that the nearby steppe had been very calm recently, and they had found no outsiders.

At this time, the wise little prince once again put forward his opinion: "Father. I think it must be like this, when Black Hawk heard that we were attacking him with Huang Mazi, he knew that he couldn't defeat us together. So he gave up Moon Lake and came to the grassland. Looking for our tribe, we want the old and weak women and children of the tribe to coerce us. But in the end, they didn't find our tribe, so they returned to Moon Lake, and he found that, for some reason, Huang Mazi's people didn't show up, so he came up with such a lie and turned us out of Moon Lake. ”

The little prince's speculation undoubtedly explained the Black Hawk Bandit's strange course of action, and was supported by most people, and this time, even the Bilegg Shaman could not offer any reason to refute it.

Sukhbaru slapped the table fiercely and scolded: "Eagle Fei, this despicable liar, I must make him pay the price, immediately relocate the tribe, and then prepare for war, prepare for war!" Send someone to contact the black wolf, and even if you don't want any benefits, I'll make the liar pay. ”

At this time, Bileg came out to persuade him: "Leader, the people sent to the Valley of Flames should be able to return soon, it is not too late to confirm the exact news from Huang Mazi's side in action, if Huang Mazi is fine, but the trip was delayed because of an accident, then we can continue to cooperate with Huang Mazi in accordance with the previous agreement, if Huang Mazi really has an accident, then it is not too late for us to contact the black wolf, the matter has not been completely clarified, I think it is not appropriate to move blindly, rashly contact the black wolf, if Huang Mazi is fine, but let us be passive." ”

Sukhbaru led the Humor tribe in the northwest for more than ten years, and was not a reckless person, and after he calmed down a little, he knew that the construction of Bilegh was an old strategy, so he suppressed the voice of the little prince and several hundred households to fight, and decided to wait a few days.

After the meeting, Bilegg sent his men to look around for traces of a large number of cavalry movements, centered on the valley where Bluestone Mouth and the Black Eagles had rested for the night.

Unlike the desert, the traces in the Gobi Desert may be hidden after a sandstorm, but the traces left on the grassland can be preserved for a long time.

But after careful searching, Bilegh found that the only trace of the movement of the brigade on the grassland was between the bluestone mouth and the valley.

However, during the search, Bileg made a surprising discovery, he found that there were a large number of traces of human activity on the cliffs on both sides of the northern exit of the bluestone mouth, and many stones were collected and piled up on the edge of the cliff, which was obviously intended to be an ambush here.

This discovery made Bilegg break out in a cold sweat, and he seemed to have guessed something......

A few days later, the people who went to investigate in the Valley of Flames brought back even more shocking news, the Valley of Flames was covered with dead Yellow Horse Thieves, some of them were killed by arrows from above, and some of them were slashed from behind, which perfectly matched Bai Qi's description.

After another two days, the exact news finally came back.

In one of the towns closest to the Valley of Fire, a surviving wasp horse thief has appeared.

From the mouths of the surviving wasp thieves, Humore's spies learned about the destruction of the Wasp thieves.

Facts have proved that everything Ying Fei said is true, and he did easily defeat the Yellow Horse Thief and kill the Yellow Horse in the chaos.

These news, which were diametrically opposed to the speculation, shocked the leaders of Humour, and no one clamored to take revenge on Black Eagle, but what was the truth of the matter, why Black Eagle did not return directly to Moon Lake after defeating Huang Mazi, why they ran to the grassland, but did nothing, and returned empty-handed, this qiē still made these upright Mongolian men feel confused.

Combining all the news, Shaman Bileg pondered for a long time and finally figured out the truth of the matter. (To be continued......)
