Chapter 31: The Wolf of the Plateau
The tightness of the security of the Great Marshal's Mansion is incomparable to that of the Imperial Palace, and Li Xian's personal guards have surrounded the inner mansion day and night, and it is impossible to get in with the official uniform of the 'Eighth Master'. Shen Rong didn't want to turn the Marshal's Mansion upside down, after all, the Tartar Iron Cavalry outside the Yumen Pass was eyeing the tiger, and at this time, a person like Li Xian was needed to guard it. Before leaving, he deliberately went to Niujia Village to look at the 'Eighth Master', and threw a bag of silver over when he was holding a shovel in the pit in shock......
The snowy plateau desert Gobi, along the way, Shen Rong is no longer what he is. When he saw a grassland appear in front of him, he almost cheered with excitement. The winter outside the region is extremely cold, and in such weather, there is actually a grassland here, probably thanks to the surrounding high mountains, and this place looks low-lying. Although the grass looks almost yellow, there are still shoots that are not afraid of the cold and break through the soil sporadically.
Shen Rong lay flat on the grass, looking at the starry sky, looking for the Big Dipper, his horse couldn't wait for the master's instructions, and kept gnawing the grass with his head down. Shen Rong snorted lightly: "'Hua'er', don't run away!" Then he pointed to the sky and said to himself: "Tianshu, that's Tianshu, follow it to find the North Pole, and then follow the North Pole to find Sister Ayuan!" The horse called 'Hua'er' was fat and tall, and when he heard Shen Rong's call, he raised his head and glanced at Shen Rong, and his nose exhaled two white gases to blow the surrounding soil down, as if it was a response, and then continued to lower his head and eat its grass. When Ah Yuan was on the Yangui Ridge, he would often drag him to look at the stars in the sky at night, and excitedly ask him about the shape and appearance of the Big Dipper. Sometimes he couldn't bear to disobey her mood, and often made up nonsense to lie to her when the weather was bad. And almost every time she pouts: 'Second brother is deceiving, such a strong wind is blowing, there is so much humidity in the wind, then you can still see the stars, I tell the eldest brother to go!' will always cry aggrieved because of this, Shen Rong will always coax her for a long time, and see her break into laughter to be at ease. And every time she would say the same thing to him: 'Tianshu' is the head of the seven stars, like the wisdom and stability of the eldest brother, but the second brother is like shaking the light, and it seems that the end is the beginning of the sun! I am not among them, just that small and inconspicuous star...... Then he didn't say a word again, and ...... in a daze, "I don't know if Sister Ayuan still can't look at the stars...... Shen Rong smiled lightly: Ayuan can't see with her eyes, how could such a shy girl go to someone else to help her look at the stars...... (The shape of these seven stars together is like a spoon, and the top of the spoon is the Tianshu Star, followed by Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, and Kaiyang, and the end of the spoon handle is the shaking light.) The brightest one directly opposite the Celestial Pivot Star is the North Star. )
Shen Rong didn't know how long it had been since he was so cranky, the night was almost dark, and there was silence all around. I saw hundreds of yurts scattered in the middle of this steppe that did not look particularly large, and in the middle of these yurts was a very large looking house, only this house was surrounded by a bright fire, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night. There are shadows between the lights and the shadows, and there are constantly people patrolling back and forth.
Suddenly, 'Hua'er', who was lying not far from him, raised his neck and jumped up, looking behind him in panic. Shen Rong hurriedly made a quiet gesture to 'Hua'er', and immediately after him, he heard a low roar, followed by two and three sounds, and three pairs of green eyes shot towards him like ghost fire. Three wolves barked their fangs and roared in a low voice, slowly approaching from three directions. Shen Rong slowly retreated to his 'flower' with the golden sword in both hands, and lightly touched the horse's belly, but his eyes did not leave the three pairs of green eyes for a moment. He knew that the wolf would suddenly attack its prey at a certain distance, and he was waiting for this time so that his little sword could kill him with a single blow. I'm a little hungry, but fortunately, the wolf meat is not too unpalatable. The wolf's skin was just joined together to make a big piece of my 'flower', and he smiled and touched the horse's belly lightly. That is, at this moment, the three wolves opened their fanged mouths almost at the same time, roaring and pounced on him and the horse, that is, at this time, the three wolves pounced on the grass at Shen Rong's feet from three directions at the same time, lifeless, not to mention the shaking of the dying struggle, and blood slowly spurted from around the golden sword at the throat.
The horse took two steps back, fearful but not neighing, as it seems to be a common sight, and fear is only the nature of the horse. Shen Rong slapped 'Hua'er' on the stomach twice to show encouragement, lowered his body and pulled out the golden sword while cutting off the wolf's head, "'Hua'er', how about using the wolf's fangs to make a necklace for you?"
The morning breeze is blowing, and the morning sun is slowly rising. On a dirt mountain, Shen Rong rode on his tall and fat 'flower', and on the horse's neck was a chain made of wolf teeth. A team of dozens of horses quickly ran towards the place where he roasted wolf meat, and the blades reflected a dazzling light from time to time in the sunlight. A fire in the night can arouse vigilance, such a strict guard, it seems that the big yurt room is definitely not an ordinary person! Shen Rong patted the horse's neck, "'Flowers' I said it looks good, you are still reluctant, now rejoice!" He pulled the reins and walked slowly towards the bottom of the earth mountain.
It is not easy to get close to the yurt in such an empty grassland, and in order to resist the fierce beasts from stealing cattle and sheep, the herdsmen raise mastiffs in every house. Fortunately, last night the wolf meat was beaten, which came in handy, mastiffs naturally regard wolves as natural enemies, and even if they don't eat wolf meat, they will definitely bite a few bites, so that the soaked sweat medicine will work. Shen Rong could approach the yurt without being aware of the reality and listen to the reality.
When he cut off the head of this demonic Wanyan Honglu, the Han man was trembling. Shen Rong found out from the little goatee on his chin that he was actually the shopkeeper of the 'Dominating Restaurant', but he had just changed his costume. He was actually a general who listened to Li Xian's order in front of the account, which Shen Rong never expected, Niujia Village was actually Li Xian's malicious collusion with Tartar, that is, this monstrous tragedy done by Wanyan Honglu. He temporarily spared his life in order to find out the truth, and this weakness almost plunged himself into a life and death of constant fugitive.
Shen Rong pinned Yan Honglu's head to his belt, held the golden sword in both hands, and rushed into the swarming Tartar soldiers, and there were people rolling and screaming in the flashing light of the sword. At this time, he was covered in blood, and his already tattered leather jacket was even more shattered under the slashing spear of the chaotic saber, and he knew that his flying sword, no matter how accurate it was, would not play any role in the chaotic army, and the only option was hand-to-hand combat......
