As a holy city in the hearts of the grassland people, Aoshaer City was built by the Central Plains craftsmen who were captured by the ancestors of the Liang people thousands of years ago according to their needs.

It's about the size of a small county town, and it's not that big in itself.

Around it, there are a large number of cool yurts, all white "dirt bags" at a glance.

Seeing this, Hu Herun felt that life was finally a little hopeful, and went to his own yurt with Yeming and Zhuang Nan.

He is also a person with a wife and children, and Huherun, who is anxious to see his family, runs all the way, but he doesn't have much strength, and after running for a while, he still chooses to walk honestly.

The location of the yurt of the steppe people changes frequently, and it is not permanent in the vicinity of the holy city, and when it comes and goes, it is in season.

Originally, this season, they were supposed to live in the warmer south.

But because he had to go south and was afraid of the retaliation of the Central Plains, he violated the law of the seasons and let the families of the warriors spend the winter in the holy city.

After Huherun went to the place where there were yurts everywhere, he couldn't find his home for a while, so he had to try to find acquaintances first.

I searched all the way and finally met an acquaintance.

After inquiring, I heard that it was a friend of mine who was helping to take care of his family, and Huherun was very moved, and after asking for the way, he hurried to the direction of his friend's yurt.

Successfully found a friend's house all the way, and Hoherun met his good friend named Su He.

This friend was very happy to see Huherun come back alive.

Soon, Hoherun saw his family, Ehe (mother) and Bole (wife) were still there, but of the four children, one froze to death and one starved to death, leaving only a man and a woman alive.

Seeing this, Huherun called God bless, he didn't lose too much of his family.

Subsequently, Huherun warmly invited Yeming and Zhuang Nan to stay, and he and his good friend Su He expressed their willingness to entertain the two with their wives or daughters.

Yeming and Zhuang Nan said in unison that they couldn't do it.

Huherun and Su He were disappointed after hearing this, feeling that they had insulted the style of grassland courage.

The two of them were arranged to rest in a small yurt next to it, and looking at its arrangement, it was supposed to be where the children lived, but now the children are running to live with the adults.

That night, Su He secretly found the two and quietly handed out a sheep whip.

He said that as a grassland man, he would help the two keep secrets, hoping that they would try to treat them with a sheep whip.

After sending Su He away, Zhuang Nan looked at the sheep whip in his hand and handed it to Ye Ming:

"Hudarachi, I think you need this very much."

Seeing this, Yeming waved his hand again and again:

"No, no, no, Sumuhack, you're the one who needs it the most."

Zhuang Nan shook his head and said:

"Actually, I'm pretty good, I just don't like it."

"Coincidentally, I'm actually very good at it, and I don't like this kind of thing."

As soon as the two of them combined, they quietly went out and exchanged a sheep whip and a tall and mighty-looking man for a piece of lamb ribs.

Since the White Deer Xuannu lives on the snowy mountain near the Holy City, the "vegetarian order" in this vicinity is very strict, and there are cows, sheep, donkeys, horses, rabbits and other monsters patrolling and inspecting from time to time.

There are also birds circling in the sky to supervise.

Fortunately, it was difficult for the smart steppe warriors to use a way to bury the stove in the soil to quietly stew and boil meat.

In addition, grass roots and wild vegetables are boiled on the surface to cover up, so that even if smoke wafts out, there is no problem.

It's just that whether it's stew or barbecue, it's actually not very tasty.

There is only one reason for this, and that is that there is no salt.

Salt, iron, silk cloth, etc., are precious resources for the grassland people.

Salt, in particular, was regularly enjoyed only by the nobles who lived in large tents.

Ordinary grassland people like them can eat a little salt a month, which is not bad.

The lamb ribs that the two of them exchanged for Yeming were also stewed, and the taste was quite bland, if you changed to a Central Plains person who had never eaten this, you could eat it directly.

Fortunately, the two of them were not so rude and did not vomit.

Ye Ming doesn't care about himself, he is just a spirit, in fact, he can directly absorb the "qi" of food to eat, just pretend to be on the surface.

And looking at Zhuang Nan's expression, you can know that this is completely swallowing hard, and it looks very hard to eat.

But it's better than the grass roots and tree bark you eat on the road.

Everyone's yurt is actually not far from each other, and the sound insulation effect of many people's homes is not very good.

So, throughout the first half of the night, both of them could hear strange sounds coming from the surrounding yurts.

The two people who slept together looked at each other, and they both turned their backs silently, no longer looking at each other.

Yeming doesn't need to sleep, it's just pretending to be right now.

He also thought about sneaking out in the middle of the night to see what was going on.

Through his observation during the day, he had confirmed that this was the place where he needed to refine his qi luck, but how to act specifically required a good plan.

After all, this is a holy city for people, and it is also close to the Great Snow Mountain, which is not so easy to use.

In the middle of the night, the surroundings were quiet, and there were no more strange noises.

Obviously, everyone is really resting.

About two o'clock in the morning, someone suddenly heard someone shouting:

"Hou (son), my Hou has been captured by monsters, come and help me with the warriors!"

This shout arose, and suddenly the people in the surrounding yurts rushed out with swords.

"The monster has appeared again, quick, find the monster!"

A group of people shouted and searched for it near the yurt where the accident had occurred.

Such a big movement woke up Zhuang Nan.

"I'm sleeping soundly, why is it so noisy."

Zhuang Nan woke up dimly asleep, and when he saw that Yeming also woke up, he asked what was going on outside.

Ye Ming naturally said that he didn't know, so he went outside with Zhuang Nan to see.

At this time, the men of the Huherun and Suhe families also came out.

Zhuang Nan stepped forward to ask what was the matter, and Su He told him that it was the monster that ate the child who appeared again, catching the child to eat.

According to him, it has been more than ten days since this monster appeared, and counting tonight, four children have been killed.

Zhuang Nanyan heard the words and asked curiously:

"Doesn't the Great Snow Mountain care?"

"It's just a little monster, we can't alarm the Xuannu because of such a trivial matter, if she gives any strange orders......"

Su He didn't say any more, but just searched for the monster with the others.

Yeming and Zhuang Nan also mixed in the crowd and followed to look for it.

After Hu Herun looked around, he suddenly saw a dark shadow flashing by a firewood and straw stack.

Without saying a word, he took the knife and ran over there.

But after rushing to the pile of firewood and straw, there was no black shadow.

As a clever steppe warrior, Hu Herun observed a trace of blood on the firewood and straw stack.

He had been on the battlefield many times, and immediately found out the exact direction and hurriedly chased after him.

Soon, he saw the dark shadow flashing in front of him.

While chasing, Ho and Run shouted "The monster is here".

When the people around heard this, they all went around that side.

Soon, someone saw the monster again, shouted and continued to surround it.

The black shadow tossed and turned several times, but it had a tendency to be surrounded, and it seemed that it was a little helpless to drop something directly and run away again.

When they came to see it, it was a child who had been left behind.

Only by this time, the child was clearly dead.

It has a distinct bite mark on its throat, resembling a wolf's mouth.

The chest and abdomen were also torn open, the heart and lungs were visible to the naked eye, and the intestines and stomachs flowed all over the ground.

Seeing this, the people were furious and continued their pursuit.

It's just that after throwing away the load, the monster is faster and more difficult to pursue.

Someone tried to shoot the monster with an arrow, but the monster was too agile for even the sharpshooters of the steppe people to shoot.

The crowd is chasing and chasing, and they are about to be lost.

At this moment, a neighing of horses was heard, and a man appeared here on a horse with a longbow in hand.

I saw that he opened his bow and set up an arrow, and shot an arrow at the place where the black shadow had not yet reached.

As the arrow arrived, the shadow jumped to that position and was hit by an arrow.

The black shadow let out a wolf-like scream and wail, and was directly carried away by a powerful arrow, nailed to a wooden pillar not far away.

This arrow has already taken down the monster.

The crowd looked at the archer, and they all cheered.

"Huang Taiji (the meaning of the eldest son and heir), it is Huang Taiji!"

The man who came on horseback was a tall prairie man, who looked very young, in his early twenties, and was sitting on a horse at this time, really full of spirit and heroic martial arts.

After this Huang Taiji shot the monster, he turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the monster, and everyone looked at it together.

The monster resembled a wolf, its forelimbs resembled human hands, and its fingers were sharp and black, covered in mud.

Looking at the blood on his mouth and claws, he knew that the child was killed by him.

At this time, although he was shot by an arrow from Huang Taiji and nailed to the wooden pillar, he was still not dead, and he was still there with a wailing sound.

When the monster saw Huang Taiji, there were doubts and grievances in his eyes, and he opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to speak.

Before it could make a sound, he saw Huang Taiji step forward quickly, pulled out the scimitar at his waist, and without saying anything, he directly cut off the monster's head with a knife and lifted it high above his head.

When everyone around saw this, they all cheered loudly and kept shouting "Huang Taiji".

Hu Herun and Su He were also shouting together.

Zhuang Nan looked like he had never seen the world, and asked:

"Who is this Huang Taiji?"

Su He explains:

"This is Huang Taiji of the Mandu Ratu Khan's family, named Hadan Batel."

The steppe people called the eldest son and heir of the tribal leader "Huang Taiji", and there were four khans fighting each other on the steppe before, which means that there are currently four "Huang Taiji" in the steppe.

It's just that compared to it, Hadanbatel is the most brave and respected among the four, and the other three can't compare.

Especially this time, the Khan of Mandu Ratu lost the battle, and his injuries worsened, and he was already bedridden.

At present, the Mandu Ratu tribe is actually managed by this Hadan Batar Huang Taiji.

Now that he has the actual management of the Holy City, the other three are now in serious civil strife and are all fighting for the throne of the Khan.

After killing the monster, Hadanbaatar went to sit in the victim's family's yurt and took the man's hand to ask him personally, as a sign of concern.

All this made Hu Herun very excited, he had never seen a grassland nobleman so close to people, and he immediately admired it.

Coupled with the fact that the tribe he was originally loyal to is now in civil strife and about to fall apart, it is actually very common for ordinary steppe people to change their allegiance.

When Hadan Batel came out of the yurt, Huherun walked up to the other party and sincerely expressed his loyalty and followed the other party.

Hadan Baatel was very happy that there were warriors who were willing to be loyal, and personally put his arm around Huherun's shoulders and invited him to drink a glass of mare's milk wine.

In this way, it can be regarded as accepting the allegiance of Huherun.

Many people around who have not yet chosen their allegiance have expressed their allegiance to this.

Hadanbatel did not refuse to accept all of them, and, as a noble lord and a future Great Khan, he did not put on a show at all, and was commensurate with everyone as a brother.

Even those who did not declare allegiance to him did not show any displeasure and appeared to be very open-minded.

When the people saw this, they admired him even more and were very convinced of him.

At this time, Zhuang Nan also ran over and declared his allegiance.

But in Yeming's opinion, this guy clearly wants to mix mare's milk wine and drink.

Phew, shameless.

After scolding Zhuang in his heart, Yeming also stepped forward and expressed his loyalty to ......
