Boundless green and green by sheep grazing,

A horse flying and singing drunk blue night......

I saw pieces of white clouds dotted in the dark blue sky, transformed into horses, cattle and sheep, although it seemed a little blurry, but the horses, cattle and sheep galloping on the grassland also complemented each other. Under the foot is a glimpse of the marginal oil green, the most vigorous vitality in the middle of a little red and a little yellow, is Shandan and golden lotus, although not as good as the Central Plains of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, but also the flavor is unique. The two-wheeled carriage runs back and forth all the year round and opens up the road, wandering between the hills and dirt bags, artificially dividing the endless sea of grass into a strip of belts, but it is not abrupt at all, just like the colorful ribbon on the neck of a mellow virgin, which can always arouse people's imagination.

A group of people slowly walked on the trade road leading to the depths of the grassland, the grassland is vast and unobstructed, the autumn wind is whistling, blowing three square flags, can clearly identify the word "Tongda" embroidered on the flag, vigorous and powerful, simple and gentle. It was a caravan that went to the steppe to trade with the herdsmen, and three flags were hung in the front, middle and back directions, roughly showing the size of the medium. The last flag was tied to a two-wheeled carriage at the tail, the wooden but iron-spoke wheels creaking and crunching, undoubtedly a heavy load, presumably carrying all kinds of supplies that the tribe and herders liked.

A young man with a sword, with a square face and a large red face, of medium height, lean build, and in good spirits, rode a red steed, and leisurely cruised between several carriages, and as he passed, he talked in a low voice with his men and grooms, and talked very merrily, and from time to time there was a low laugh.

"Master Zhao, this is our ninth trip this year, and after this trip, it's time to rest in winter. A groom in a car who seemed to know the young man very well, asked quips.

"Yes, it's time for autumn to winter, the deal with the herdsmen is coming to an end, and the next thing is the end of the year. "It turned out that this man with a sword was a guard caravan guard, his big name was Zhao Chengping, and Tongda Trading House had hired him for more than three years, so he was very familiar with the groom guys. The other dart masters are different, generally speaking, the caravans from the south to the north always hire a group of dart masters according to the situation of the itinerary, so the dart masters are rarely fixed in the same caravan.

Zhao Chengping talked and laughed all the way, but in fact, he felt sad in his heart. It turned out that he was recommended by someone to join the gang Tianji Alliance, which was emerging in the rivers and lakes eight years ago, and tried his best to do things for the gang, always charging ahead in case of trouble, and being selfless in the face of benefits, seeing that the faction was becoming more and more prosperous, and the power was in full swing, and he was finally accepted as a registered disciple by the deputy hall master three years ago, and he thought that he could soar into the sky, but he didn't expect it to backfire. It turned out that after the deputy hall master accepted Zhao Chengping as a registered disciple, he assigned him to carry out a secret mission, and told him that the task was related to the future of the Tianji Alliance, which was very important. In the past three years, Zhao Chengping has followed Tongda Commercial Bank all the way to the north and south, and has traveled to dozens of tribes large and small on the grassland, but he has never found the people and objects that the deputy hall master has explained to him what he is looking for.

This time, the Tongda trading house had to go to a new tribe to trade, mainly to exchange salt, spices, tea, and simple iron tools for cattle, sheep, horses, etc., and then transport them back to Gongcheng or to Suncheonju. Merchant houses generally stay for one to two days in an ordinary tribe and longer in larger tribes.

The dart masters are the most nervous along the way, but as soon as the goods arrive at the trading place, they can take turns to rest. The other dart masters all went to the herdsmen's tents to drink wine and eat meat, and Zhao Chengping had a mission in mind, and according to the custom, he always walked around the tribe a few times, secretly observing and searching.

"It should still be those two wild wolves, we must kill them this time!" came the conversation of a group of children in the distance. What he was looking for was a half-grown child, and there were wild wolves, Zhao Chengping suddenly became interested, and walked a few steps quickly to follow quietly.

Seven or eight teenage children dressed as herdsmen began to discuss one sentence after another, and when they saw that the discussion was almost over, they all turned over and roared away. Zhao Chengping wanted to observe the faces of several children, and he was also interested in wild wolves from the Central Plains, so he rode his own horse and followed from a distance.

Among the seven or eight children, one of them was riding a horse in front, not talking and pointing to the other children, big and small, but seemed to be assigning tasks. After walking for a few miles, the leading child seemed to notice Zhao Chengping following behind, saw the mark on his saddle, and knew that it was someone who came to trade the caravan, so he didn't care. When the group came to a halt in front of a dirt slope, the horse seemed to smell the scent of a wild wolf and appeared agitated, and the leading child pointed and took the lead in pulling out a strip of black cloth to blindfold the horse's eyes. Two older children, a little taller and older, rode up the hill and stood condescendingly, while the rest of the people divided into two groups and gathered around the bag, and everyone drew their clubs or knives, and the leading child came out with a long knife and went first to the hollow cave under the bag surrounded by everyone.

Zhao Chengping looked more and more curious, clamped his legs, and rode slowly forward on the horse that was originally standing far away. I heard a burst of laughter from the children, and saw the leading child grab a fluffy wolf and return to the others, it turned out that they had found the wolf's den where the wolf raised its cubs. The lead child threw the wolf cub to the people next to him, and seemed to prevent the others from entering the wolf's den again, and several people began to argue violently.

Zhao Chengping was trying to ride a horse close to observe a few children, and was also interested in the wolf's den, when he turned his head to shoot, he saw that more than 20 wild wolves were divided into two groups, one climbed up the dirt bag and came condescendingly, and the other came to the wolf's den. Zhao Chengping let out a low cry, "Damn!", seeing that several children were not the opponents of a group of wild wolves at all, he hurriedly rode his horse and ran towards the wolf's den. Zhao Chengping could only ride his horse forward while shouting: "Where are the wolves! ”

The speed of the wolves was undoubtedly faster, and the male wolf on the dirt bag had already jumped towards one of the children who were standing on horseback, and the two children finally found the wild wolf, but the position of the horse was more awkward, and they could not disperse to both sides, but fortunately, they were quick to react, and the two took the horse and jumped down. The children converged, and the horses felt the great danger and began to beat impatiently. The wolves turned them back and were ready to attack at any time.
