Zhechun, the old leader of the Meiguxi Tribe, refused Xiao Ming's request for their own good, after all, it is not safe on the road now, the power of the Jin Kingdom is very large, and there are their soldiers and horses everywhere, so it is better to wait for the warriors in the tribe to come back, and then send someone to send Ami back.

But Ami is like an arrow, insisting on this, she feels that now since the Jin country has a large number of soldiers and horses, the result of a warrior and a warrior is the same, if there are more people, the target is large, and it may be easier to expose the target, and if there are few people, the movement is flexible, and it is easy to penetrate the opponent's sphere of influence, so Ami insists on leaving home immediately.

The patriarch Zhechun saw that he was not convinced by Ami, so he had to admit it, but he still insisted on lining up more people to follow and protect, and people had good intentions, and it would hurt to refuse again, so Xiao Ming agreed for Ami, so Zhechun arranged for fifty of the best archers in the tribe and his fastest fast horses to escort Ami home.

Ami no longer insisted, although she still wanted to have more opportunities to be alone with Xiao Ming, in fact, it was difficult to be alone, because now that Gu Xiaoliu is an inseparable follower Xiao Ming, even he is still wary of Ami, maybe he thinks that he is the boss of Xiao! At the very least, the person who is followed by Su Caier should be a big shopkeeper like Su Caier, and a barbarian girl like Ami is not qualified enough!

Gu Xiaoliu said: "Eh! Horseback riding again? ”

Ah Mi glanced at him and said, "What do you ride without riding a horse?" Is it bull riding? It will take five days to run through this pasture! How are you going to get there? ”

Gu Xiaoliu stuck out his tongue: "Good my mom!" It's so far! Then he shrank behind Xiao Ming and said nothing.

Not only Gu Xiaoliu, even Xiao Ming didn't expect it to be so far! But since he promised that he would keep his promise, and he couldn't understand the real situation of Liao State if he didn't go to Wuhuai, so he didn't say anything. Just told Gu Xiaoliu to pack up, they didn't have many things, and they packed up quickly.

But there is also a farewell ceremony in the tribe, the wizard dances or something, nothing more than praying for the gods to bless Ami and his party safely, everyone drinks and dances all night, knowing that on the third day, Xiao Ming and they officially went on the road, this time Xiao Ming said goodbye to Xu Lizhuo when he left, and the two of them said goodbye.

Xiao Ming told Xu Lizhuo that there might be a long time of war soon, and if it was not safe here, he could go to the southern Song Dynasty and go to Xuzhou to find him, where he could at least avoid the war.

Xu Lizhuo said: "Uncle Xiao is a person who does great things, I won't follow to make trouble, if you can't survive here, I must go to Xuzhou to find you" At the same time, he gave Xiao Ming a sheepskin, on which is a geographical map of mountains and rivers in the eastern region of Liao, which is very finely described, and the roads of grasslands and mountains are clearly marked, but the age seems to be relatively old.

Xiao Ming was puzzled and hurriedly asked what this is? Xu Lizhuo replied: "This is a map left by his father, it seems that there are several gold mines, but I have been looking for many years in Liaodi, but I have not found it, now it is better to send this map to Xiao Ming, I hope it will be useful to him."

"Shhh Xiao Ming gasped, the Northeast region is rich in mineral resources, not to mention that the current Liao State contains a large part of the territory of Russia in the future, Xu Lizhuo's father should not paint such a picture for no reason, if it is really to find gold mines, then with the resources at his disposal, occupy these gold mines, then don't you make yourself rich and rival the country?

"It seems that for the sake of these gold mines, he has to do more famous in Liao, he can't expect these Khitan people in Liao to find mines for him, these people who command hunting and fishing, they don't know what professional mineral exploration is, it seems that it is better to contact their own people as soon as possible.

……

said goodbye to the old and young of the Meiguxi tribe and said goodbye to Xu Lizhuo. Xiao Ming took Ami and fifty marksmen on a journey back to the Wuhuai tribe, along the way everyone tried to walk on the edge of the grassland, generally leaning on the edge of the primeval forest and dense forest, not daring to enter the grassland too deep.

The current grassland has basically been occupied by the Jin country, and the slightest carelessness will be discovered by the Jin people, so Xiao Ming and the others are cautious. At night, they all went into the woods for the night, and because there were fifty experienced hunters who took turns to keep watch, it was generally safe at night, and so they reached the edge of Wuhuai Ridge.

Although they were careful repeatedly, Xiao Ming and they still bumped into the Jin people's patrol twice, although the number of opponents was small, but they would definitely eat Xiao Ming's team in one bite when they fought, so Xiao Ming let the fifty marksmen adopt a Mongol tactic, that is, the tactic of dragging oil bottles.

The oil bottle is also called the tail drop tactic, that is, let twenty archers run away on horseback, while fleeing with accurate bows and arrows to shoot the enemy, when the enemy pursues, the other thirty archers hidden together to shoot arrows, with the previous twenty archers together to annihilate the enemy.

If the enemy does not pursue, Xiao Ming will arrange personnel to bite their tails, and they must not let the other party run away to call the large group of men and horses, accurate shooting when destroying the enemy is very important, this piece of Gu Xiaoliu's black god crossbow has made a great contribution, so that Ami is impressed with him, she doesn't know, this is the result of Gu Xiaoliu's hard training in the Tiger Guard Camp.

Relying on such tactics, Xiao Ming and his party of more than 50 people actually annihilated the opponent's patrol of two or three hundred people, this kind of result made a group of hunters almost have the urge to worship Xiao Ming, even Ami was very surprised, I didn't expect that the righteous brother I recognized was such a person with extraordinary ability, I couldn't help but be a little proud, and secretly said that I had a vision.

After four or five days of arduous walking, the group finally came to the camp of the Wuhuai Department in the canyon area, where the tents stretched for hundreds of miles, scattered along a zigzag river, the canyon was warm in winter and cool in summer, the water source was abundant, the water and grass were abundant, and many buildings in the camp had been built with bricks and stones, obviously this was already a place to settle.

The patriarch's big tent was built on a well-built stone platform, and there was a sacrificial temple on the stone platform, Ami didn't even arrive at the big tent when she pouted and whistled, and blew a few times, and the people who greeted her along the way quickly reported to the big tent, and many Khitan women came out of the big tent, and they were surprised to see Ami!

"Princess! Princess Ami is back, Princess Ami is back! Everyone ran into the tent in surprise to inform each other, and an old man with a black beard also came out, and when he saw Ami, he was very happy, although his face was still sad, but it had been diluted a lot by the joy.

"Ami! How did you come back? The old man said.

"Uncle Hemulen, how is Abba?" Ami asked anxiously.

Uncle Hemulian's face darkened again, shook his head, and said to Ami: "I'm afraid that the old patriarch is running out of time, and if you rush back, you can see him for the last time."

Amijiao snorted: "Abba——! And he ran into the tent.

Xiao Ming and the others were not heard, they could only wait outside, he just took this opportunity to see the terrain here, fortunately, the position on the stone platform is quite high, the whole tribe is clear at a glance, the dome-style wool tents are densely scattered on this river valley, in the distance are flocks of white sheep, and brown horses, the herdsmen are going home, there is a faint smoke floating in the tent, every family has cooked milk tea, this scenery is really beautiful, just like Xiao Ming saw the grassland of Inner Mongolia in the TV film.

Gu Xiaoliu pulled Xiao Ming's sleeve and said, "Mr. Xiao, where are we staying tonight?" ”

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "The sky is the quilt, the ground is the bed, is there no place for you to sleep in such a large place?" ”

Suddenly, a slightly immature voice said in Chinese: "Are you Song people?" ”

Xiao Ming turned his head to look and found a chubby little boy standing behind him, probably less than ten years old, wearing a sheepskin robe and a huge jade plaque around his neck, which was very precious.

Xiao Ming said in Khitan dialect: "Who said that we are Song people, we are Liao people who have lived in Song for a long time, little brother, who are you?" ”

His Khitan pronunciation is still extremely non-standard, this is what he learned from Ami on the road, fortunately, Khitan belongs to the kind of language with very simple pronunciation, and it is not difficult to learn, so in a short period of time, Xiao Ming has mastered some, at least he can understand it.

The boy said, "Did you save my sister?" It seems that you are a good person, and I want to thank you for my sister. This one for you, it's my best toy! ”

Xiao Ming said: "Oh, thank you!" I'll be sure to take good care of it! Looking down, I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it turned out to be four sheep gala bones, dyed with red color, the color is very bright, this kind of children's toys are very popular in the Northeast, according to legend, it is still passed by the Manchus.

Looking up, the fat boy had already run away, and only threw down one sentence: "My name is Aguru!" ”

At this time, a guard came to invite, saying that the patriarch had invited Uncle Xiao Mingxiao! Xiao Ming straightened his clothes and took Gu Xiaoliu to follow the guards into the big tent.

There are two layers inside and outside the big tent, the decoration inside is magnificent, the utensils and utensils are made of gold, the walls and the ground are covered with Persian carpets, it stands to reason that Persian carpets should only be spread on the ground, and hanging on the wall should be tapestries, it can be seen that the nobles of the Liao Kingdom are basically some nouveau riche mentality, but it is a pity that this "nouveau riche" that has risen in just a hundred years is about to be defeated by another nouveau riche!

Thinking about this question here, it seems that he has little respect for the master, Xiao Ming entered the inner layer to see the patriarch, a big bed was placed in the inner tent, an old man leaned on the bed with a sick face, and Ami snuggled the old man next to him, thinking that this was Xiao Biyang, the patriarch of the Wuhuai tribe!

"Abba, this is Xiao Ming Xiao Yishi who saved his daughter's life and escorted me back!" Ami introduced on the side, and after speaking, he smiled at Xiao Ming and said, "Big brother, this is my father, the patriarch of our Wuhuai tribe!" ”

Xiao Ming stepped forward to salute, he was Ami's brother-in-law, so he said, "Uncle!" ”

Xiao Biyang smiled slightly, and said a little weakly: "Thank you, child, you saved my heart, the pearl of the entire Hanwall grassland, I will satisfy you with whatever reward you want!" ”

Xiao Ming smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your generosity, I don't want any reward, but there is only one request, I hope you can agree?" ”

Xiao Biyang said: "Oh! What is the request, you can just mention it, I will definitely try my best to meet it. ”

"This request is actually very simple," Xiao Ming said with a smile: "Then let me treat you, I have a great degree of confidence that you will still be as strong as a lion!" ”
