第121章 No.15幕 危厄伏 四

The shadow of the wolf in the hunting ground made Tuya unable to let go of it.For several months after that, she secretly dispatched people to search for any clues related to the galloping wolf in various parts of the grassland.

After a whole summer of rain and moisture, the grassland in late autumn is the season of fertile water and grass, and flocks of cattle and sheep.Tens of thousands of livestock can eat tens of thousands of catties of forage in a single day, and each of them is fat and fat, storing enough energy for winter.And those ferocious beasts that specialize in eating horse liver, like ghosts, completely abandoned this group of prey that were easily available, and they were hard to find for a whole season, not even leaving a single hair or footprint.

The girl gradually began to feel that the ones who attacked the stables during the hunt earlier were probably just a few snow leopards that accidentally wandered down from Lancang Mountain.After all, it is unlikely that Chilang will suddenly migrate from the dead wilderness to the hinterland of the Muyun tribe.And if someone really raised them in the mountains near the camp, how could it be so watertight, not even a little bit of wind leaked out?

However, things were unpredictable. Just when Tuya was about to terminate the investigation and let the matter come to an end, the servant who sent out to investigate the clues suddenly reported that they had finally found the trace of the wolf on the Gobi in the north.Princess Di Ren still didn't believe it at first, but when she saw a few clumps of wolf hairs in the opponent's hand, she immediately stood up!
Chi wolves are also wolves, no matter how big they are, they have to put on warm winter fur when facing the knife-like cold wind in Shuobei.And its fur is obviously different from ordinary wolf fur. Even the innermost layer of overwintering down is much thicker and longer than ordinary wolf hair. It is as dense and thick as steel needles, and it is quite difficult to touch.

Tuya thought for a moment, and immediately went to the next tent to call for the black-eyed boy, and dragged him to find old General Yuan Ti, begging him to send troops for help.Unexpectedly, after the other party listened to the narration of the two children, they reprimanded them mercilessly:

"It's just nonsense! You have kept this matter from the old minister for more than half a year?!"

"Don't get angry, old general, I can explain to you—"

Princess Di Ren immediately put on a smiley face.Yuan Ti, who was dressed in white iron armor, waved his hand, unwilling to continue listening: "Those wolves come from unknown sources and are extremely dangerous! You two acted on your own, if something bad or bad happens, Mrs. Ke Zun and Tie Qin Wang Zaitian has a spirit, he will definitely blame the old minister!"

"But what if I tell the old general that those galloping wolves were raised in the mountains on purpose? Before that, Jiang Yan once tore a collar from one of them, and now these giant beasts are wandering around Yanluoyuan again. It poses a threat to my Muyun Department, as a princess, how can I turn a deaf ear to it!"

Tuya was a little anxious, and unconsciously raised her voice.But the old man on the opposite side was not moved at all:
"Princess, this is not something you should worry about now. Since the veteran knows about this matter, he will find an opportunity to report it to Hehan. But for His Highness, it is safest to stay in Yanluoyuan with your own people right now. , the safest response. The veteran will never allow the two of you to leave the camp without permission, nor will you send your already stretched troops into the mountains because of this matter!"

Tuya saw that she couldn't make sense with the other party, so she didn't bother to waste any more words, and directly pulled Jiang Yan away from the camp.However, when they arrived at the stables, they found out that they had just left, so Yuan Ti sent an order to the guards of the stables, ordering them not to allow them to leave with their horses for any reason.

The girl understood that although the field of vision on the grassland is wide, it is a dead horse looking at the mountains.If you don't have a mount, you can't find it far with only your own two legs. Immediately, you jumped up and down, and a pair of buckskin boots creaked the snow:

"What should I do now? If I don't go today, the clues I finally got will be broken."

"You are a princess after all, don't you think those guards won't give you any face?" the black-eyed boy asked with squinted eyes.

"You don't know that the old general Yuan Ti is famous in the Muyun Department for his uncompromising words. If those guards dare to give us a horse's tail today, they will inevitably be punished severely in the future. Even if the mouth is worn out, it is absolutely impossible. Will let us in to lead the horses."

The Di Ren girl shook her head vigorously, but saw Jiang Yan frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly turned around and walked towards the horse pen again, and quickly stretched out her hand to grab him:
"Did you listen to me just now? It's definitely not going to work for us to lead the horse in such a grandiose manner!"

Jiang Yan smiled at her mysteriously: "Who told you that I was going to lead the horse? Although people can't get in right now, I never said that the horse can't run out by itself."

"What is your plan?"

Tuya still didn't know what to do, but she followed closely behind her companion.

"When I was passing the stables just now, I happened to see one of the black horses that looked very similar to my Wu Chen! I guess it was brought back by Tie Chongshan after the attack on Yimubu last year. Wu Chen was raised by me since I was a child. Yes, it recognizes my whistle. We will hide a little later, as long as we whistle, it should try to come out to find me!"

The black-eyed boy hadn't seen his beloved horse for almost a year. At this moment, he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Sure enough, there were more than a hundred steps away from the stables, and the two saw a young and strong black horse from a distance.At this moment, Er Ma was led aside by several Shuodi warriors, and seemed to be training him, but he refused to listen to anyone.As long as someone climbs on its back, it will immediately jump up and down, and will not give up until it throws the rider off the ground, it is Wu Chen!
Seeing this, Jiang Yan smiled, pursed his lips and whistled.Although the whistle didn't sound, the tune was far and long, it was the tune that Ning Yue had taught him.

As soon as he heard the whistle, the black stallion immediately closed his ears, and turned his head to look around alertly.Jiang Yan took a deep breath and continued playing the song again.The horse finally determined its owner's position, raised its head high, and pulled the reins out of the hands of several warriors.

The Shuodi warriors in the circle immediately surrounded them with exclamations, wanting to regain the reins, but how could Wu Chen give them a chance?I saw him standing there for a while, but when the opponent rushed in front, he suddenly exerted strength, rushed forward suddenly, and then stopped suddenly, knocking them all over the snow.

Wu Chen's strength was just right, although he knocked people down, he didn't hurt them.Then it took a few steps back and accelerated towards the fence in front of it.With only a little effort, the strong horse crossed the fence that was as high as half a person like a light black cloud, and landed firmly outside the circle.He turned his head and yelled a few times at the Shodi warriors on the ground, as if he was laughing at the other party's plan to trap him, which was nothing more than a dream.Then, it spread its four hooves and ran straight towards the direction of the whistle!

Those Shodi warriors used to live on horseback since they were young, how could they swallow this breath, they immediately got on their horses and followed.But when they caught up with Wu Chen, they saw that Tuya had already sat on the back of the horse.

After a little hesitation, the warriors got off their horses and saluted the girl.But before they could open their mouths, Princess Sodi sent them back first:

"I've already spotted this dark horse, so don't think about it any more."

The warriors also understood that Wu Chen was a rare and good horse, and they were unwilling to give up: "Princess, this stallion has not been gelded yet, but it is very stubborn. If you want to ride a horse, this subordinate will find a horse right now." It's more suitable to-"

"Don't bother everyone, you all go back."

Seeing the resolute tone of the other party, several warriors couldn't continue to forcibly get Wu Chen back, so they had to leave angrily.After watching them leave, the girl Shuodi turned her face, and saw that the black horse was rubbing against Jiangyan's face with the bridge of its nose, and the young man also tightly wrapped his hands around the horse's neck, with an intimacy and tenderness.

She couldn't help having a new understanding of this taciturn companion: "I didn't expect that you are more loved by horses than Shodi."

"Wu Chen has the same fate as me, and even has the same temperament. Naturally, our hearts are connected." The black-eyed boy raised his head rather proudly.

"They're all the same stubborn, aren't they?"

Tuya covered her mouth and made a joke, but changed the subject, "The song you played just now was taught by that red-haired girl, right?"

Jiang Yan didn't understand why the other party asked this. He was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't try to avoid it deliberately: "How do you know? Yue'er often sings this song, and I learned it after listening to it."

"You are a person who likes to dance with knives and guns all day long. If someone hadn't patiently taught you, how could you be interested in things like rhythm?" The girl Shuodi lowered her eyes and her voice became very soft. , "It seems that you really like that girl...she is so lucky..."

"What did you say?"

Jiang Yan didn't hear clearly for a while, he let go of Wu Chen's hand and turned around to ask.Tuya shook her head, unwilling to say any more:

"Let's not talk about that for now. Now that the horse is in hand, let's not waste any more time."

The girl moved back on the horse as she spoke, motioning for Jiang Yan to sit in front of her.The black-eyed boy didn't ask any more questions, and immediately got on the saddle, holding the reins firmly in his hands.

With a neighing sound, the black steed spread its hooves across the grassland and galloped quickly towards the depths of the northern tundra. In a blink of an eye, it turned into a small dot and was never seen again.

An hour later, the two finally arrived at the Gobi Desert where the wolf's hair was found.A snowfall last night quietly covered up any traces that the wolves might have left behind. The two slowed down while walking and searching. Suddenly they saw a few dark brown things on the white snow, which were clearly several wolves. Fresh wolf dung!
The feces should have just been left several hours ago.Jiang Yan got off his horse and searched the area carefully, and soon found a series of footprints covered in dry snow that had turned into solid ice:

"It seems that only one wolf passed by, and it seems to have hid in the mountains behind the Gobi. Shall we chase it?"

Tuya also understood that her companion was reminding herself that she might encounter danger if she continued to move forward.But she was still unwilling to do so, and felt that it was a pity to give up the chance that she had finally obtained. At least, she had to find some more evidence to convince Yuan Ti to go back, otherwise it would only become more difficult to come out next time.It is impossible to even have the opportunity to go out of the camp again.

So, after a moment of hesitation, the girl signaled Jiang Yan to beat the horse and move on.However, the weather on the prairie changed rapidly. Not long after the two of them entered the mountain, the originally clear sky above their heads unexpectedly gathered a large cloud of dark clouds.Immediately afterwards, the north wind also blew loudly.Before they could react, a blizzard had arrived quietly.

The mountain road in the wind and snow changed its appearance in an instant. When Tuya decided to turn her horse's head and turn back, she found that the hoofprints on the ground had long since disappeared, and she couldn't find the way she came here.

The girl suddenly regretted that she had made a reckless decision, and blamed herself a little.Jiang Yan knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, but he just concentrated on finding the way back to the camp.Suddenly, he felt the girl's hand on his waist tightened, and when he turned his head, he saw the girl pointing at the few raised rocks they had just passed and said:
"Wait, Jiang Yan, look at that - what is that?!"

At first, the young man thought he had misread it, but Tuya's tone was full of anxiety and fear, which finally made him realize that those stones were indeed unusual.After jumping off the horse and taking a closer look, he saw clearly that the uneven stones of different sizes were piles of animal bones buried under the snow!

Jiang Yan immediately looked around vigilantly, then squatted down and picked up one of the bones.I saw a few obvious tooth marks on the bone, which was indeed bitten by some large beast.

"Be careful, we may be very close to the wolf's den!" He pressed his voice to signal the girl who was still sitting on the horse to hold the rein tightly, and he took Xiao Tianmo off his back.

"What kind of bones are these? Could it be human?" Tuya couldn't hide the panic in her heart anymore, even her voice trembled.

"Certainly not. The sections of these bones are neat, obviously they were cut off with a sharp knife, and then they were used to feed bait to the wolves in this mountain depression!"

"How did you find out?"

"I've been a hunter before, so I'm not just guessing! The snowstorm is the best cover for the wolves to attack, and the view in the mountains is narrow, so it's not suitable to stay for a long time. We have to leave quickly!"

While speaking, the expression of the black-eyed boy became more serious.To this day, he still often dreams about the scene where Tong Ningyue encountered Chilang in Leiyin Mountain.Every time I woke up, the clothes all over my body would be drenched in cold sweat as if they had been washed in water.

Before the words were finished, a strange sound came from the howling north wind.It seemed to be whimpering and howling, but as soon as he heard the sound, Jiang Yan had keenly concluded that it was a wolf howling!

He quickly squinted his eyes and looked into the wind and snow, and he really saw a few black shadows swaying on a cliff not far from the two of them.The young man didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately got on his horse. Unexpectedly, as soon as he reined in the horse's head, three giant wolves, almost the size of Wu Chen, rushed straight out of the wind and snow in front of him!
Six pairs of pale yellow wolf eyes staring straight at him made Jiang Yan feel numb all over his body.Unexpectedly, the three galloping wolves didn't attack immediately, and they didn't intend to retreat. It was obviously not the first time they saw a living person.Vaguely, Jiang Yan caught a glimpse of those wolves with a collar as thick as a forearm tied around their necks, they were really raised here!

"Jiang Yan, the wolves are already coming, why don't we run away?" Tuya behind her was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

The black-eyed boy tightened the reins in his hands, clamped Jia Wuchen's stomach with both legs, and ordered the mount not to act rashly:
"It's too late to run now! At this moment, these wolves are testing our strength. Once they turn around and run away, they will know that we are afraid and will immediately pounce on us!"

In this way, one horse, two people and three wolves confronted each other in the snowstorm.Seeing that the patience of both sides was about to be exhausted, and at the critical moment when the giant wolf was about to strangle its prey, there was a rustling sound in the wind and snow ahead.However, this time the sound was obviously not howling wolves, but a cavalry team neighing with men and horses!

Jiang Yan's heart shuddered, and he looked up immediately, only to see a group of Shuodi cavalry in heavy armor rushing out of the wind and snow. Chi Lang launched a charge!
