Riding and Blade: Laughing Wind and Cloud Road

Chapter 44

eighth day.early morning.

Jiu Ling'er has invited the eight captains of Feather Oath, Ur Ho, Red Beard, Fatis, Atzo, Xu Muren, Solasin, and Old Man Tiza, as well as the captain, Heju, and Lu Feishui. In the big tent.

"Will your lord invite us to have breakfast?" Yu swore asked with a smile.

"Breakfast is a must. Besides, I want to say something." Jiu Ling'er said with a smile as she asked everyone to sit down. "Everyone can eat while listening to me."

When Jiu Ling'er finished speaking, there was no sound in the big tent.Only the sound of Jiu Ling'er drinking porridge alone could be heard clearly.

"Everyone must cooperate well in the whole matter, and there must be no failures, let alone mistakes."

"I have already said that there is a strong relationship. We are all brothers, and if we are brothers, we should treat each other wholeheartedly and work together. Although we don't have any wealth to share, we can still share our adversity."

The big tent roared with laughter.

The northeast area of ​​Amprela is rich in water and grass. It is connected to Sturgia and Kuset. Historically, it was the only way for various horse-riding tribes to migrate westward. There are many barbarians and mixed ethnic groups are very common.They mainly live in scattered tribes. There is no fixed concentrated living area, no threatening big tribes, and no big leaders who respond to everyone. Although this situation is conducive to the management of local imperial officials, it has caused a problem. It is that there are many horse thief gangs here, more than any other place, and they are extremely rampant.

After entering June, the horse thieves here suddenly disappeared.Usually in the mountains and fields, the big and small gangsters and horse bandits who ran rampant on the grassland disappeared without a trace, as if they had turned into air.All the horse thief gangs have been summoned to Plowflower Valley by a group called the Secret Hands.

The Secret Hand is a group of gangsters, they mainly operate in the rural areas and even some towns in the southern part of the empire.They prosper by performing special services for dignitaries: suppressing riots, silencing troublesome missionaries, and preying on competitors of their patrons.Many of them lived two lives: respectable in the city and criminal in the country, spending two or three months a year as bandits and thugs, and the rest of the time as "merchants" selling stolen goods - knowing that no one would dare Intervene to obstruct.

Speaking of which, the Hand of Secret had a strong relationship with the government, but a young man who didn't have a good eye took the money from others and didn't ask the opinions of the bosses, so he led people into the manor run by an old man. Hit and grab and wreak havoc!The old man in this manor is Luhuisi's teacher, Demecas Hall.After retiring, he recuperated here, the old guy was naturally frightened, and he died not long after.

When Julius Luhuis heard about it, he immediately became angry, and then launched a frenzied siege against the secret hand.How could the hand of secrets be able to stop it, Thumb gave a lot of money to find out the ins and outs of the matter, and sent Index Finger to lead people to tie up all the gang of boys who attacked the manor.

"This nima country has national laws, and families have family rules. If you break the rules and cause the gang to cause trouble, you will have to accept punishment, you know?" Index Finger sent them to Lu Huisi, and Lu Huisi said nothing The person pulled it out and cut it directly.

Luhuisi's anger disappeared, but the Hand of Secret couldn't get along in this area.Thumb is considering re-employment in the northern Amprela area.The gangsters and bandits in the Umbrella area are chaotic and leaderless, and the secret hand will be able to make great achievements there!Thumbs are so proud, it's a big deal as soon as you make a move!
More than 3000 gangster horse thieves gathered in the valley, and everyone got a generous gift.The boss of the Hand of Secrets, "Thumbs", told them that he was invited by Lord Yilatar, the leader of the Kusset Balutai Department, to go to the Ghost Shouting Forest to make a deal.After the matter is completed, another generous gift will be rewarded.

"What business?" Nachahans, Sturgians, Kusets, Karads, bandits and gangsters of various nationalities gathered together, and everyone asked each other curiously.

Little Wang Ji Yingyue from Balutai suddenly appeared in Lihua Valley with a thousand cavalry. "Thumb" didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly asked his deputy "Index Finger" to go out of the valley to meet him.

"Tell "Thumb" to come see me." Ji Yingyue squinted his eyes, with a haughty look on his face, and pointed his whip at the nose of "Index Finger" and said loudly.

Baoju City is a small border village. It is located on the west bank of the Chergue Swamp. It is the first barrier against foreign invasion in the northeast of Amprela. Its geographical location is very important.

On the ninth day, Jiuling'er's troops entered Baoju City.Looking at the endless and lush forest in front of him, he couldn't help stopping his horse and let out a heartfelt admiration.

"What a good place. Is this the Ghost Shouting Forest?" Jiu Ling'er pointed to the front and asked loudly.

Heju who followed immediately said: "Yes. If you go around this forest, you need to walk more than ten kilometers to get to Baoju City. But if you pass through the forest, you only need to walk another two or three kilometers to see Baoju City. It's Koma City."

"Everyone goes to the forest, except for the businessmen. Those who do business are afraid that their goods will be hijacked by horse thieves, so they would rather take a detour." Lu Feishui followed and added.

Jiu Ling'er nodded, "Ghost called Forest, the name is quite scary. Are the roads in the forest wide?"

"Don't worry, there are official roads built in the forest, and a dozen horses walking side by side will not feel crowded." Lu Feishui said.

The troops entered the forest one after another.Although the road in the forest was uneven, it was very wide. It had probably been repaired by many people, and there was not even a tree stump on the road.The trees on both sides of the road towered into the clouds, covering the sky and the sun.The sun shines through the densely packed branches and leaves, leaving countless mottled afterimages on the green grass.There are shrubs everywhere in the forest, and all kinds of plants and flowers can be seen everywhere.The birds and small animals were frightened and ran around.Due to the lack of sunlight all year round, the woods are filled with an unpleasant smell of damp and decay.The road in the forest is two or three kilometers long. If you walk around, you will come to the end before you know it.

After leaving the Ghost Shouting Forest, Jiu Ling'er's eyes suddenly brightened.Inside and outside the forest are two completely different worlds.One is a quiet and elegant moonlit night, and the other is a sunny day.Being on the edge of these two worlds, Jiu Ling'er had an indescribable feeling.He thought of life and death, of pain and pleasure.

At this moment, Jiu Ling'er felt Xiao Hei's uneasiness.He looked around vigilantly, then flew off the horse, lay down on the ground, and listened carefully.Suddenly he jumped up from the ground and roared with all his strength: "Sneak attack, the enemy sneak attack..."

Ji Yingyue was very angry when he saw the chaotic team. The gangsters rushed out in a swarm, screaming wildly, without any order, let alone any formation.

He stared at the "thumbs" beside him, and roared angrily: "Your people are a bunch of idiots. The large troops of the Tuotu tribe and the Karad people are still in the ghost shouting forest. You don't listen to orders and attack without authorization." , what do you want to do?"

"Thumb" had a dark face, he didn't even pull him, and said coldly: "If you say that my people are idiots again, I will lead them away and let the officers and soldiers cut you to pieces!"

Ji Yingyue yelled violently, and drew out his saber with a swish.The guards on both sides shouted one after another, holding their weapons, ready to fight.The two sides are at war with each other, and they are about to explode.

"Thumb" is in his 30s, his father is from Kusaite and his mother is from Karad.Since he was a child, he has led his clansmen to be a gangster horse bandit. He is ruthless and rebellious. He has power all over the north and south in the east. Everyone knows the reputation of the secret hand! .

"Thumb" stopped his impulse, pointed at Ji Yingyue's nose, and said contemptuously: "If it wasn't for Lord Yilatar's sake, I would have peeled your skin today." Then he ignored you Ji Yingyue, whose face was purple, rode his horse to catch up with his team.

"Little Wang..."

"The enemy just came out of the forest, and most of the people from the Tuotu tribe and the Karad army are still in the Ghost Shouting Forest. These horse thieves couldn't bear their temper and launched an attack in advance, which not only exposed the team, but also ruined our big business. My lord is really You are so confused, how can you cooperate with this group of idiots." Ji Ying became more and more angry and shouted loudly.

"Xiao Wang, what should we do?" His subordinates asked anxiously.

"Order the troops to advance quickly along the edge of the forest. If it doesn't work, chase them into the Ghost Shouting Forest. We must kill all the people from the Tuotu tribe." Ji Yingyue roared angrily.

Jiuling'er led Heju, Lu Feishui and a thousand cavalrymen of the Bailu tribe, and launched a geese charge, facing the roaring enemies like lightning.

Nearly [-] gangster horse bandits rushed over aggressively, covering the sky and covering the ground.The horseshoes were deafening, and the loud rumbling sound resounded through the edge of the forest.

Ji Yingyue's Balutai cavalry suddenly surpassed the gang's troops, and they shot along the flanks like a sharp long arrow towards the waist and ribs of the Calad officers.

Jiu Ling'er roared: "Turn left, turn left and turn north..."

"Change the left wing to the front, leave the battlefield immediately, leave the battlefield..." The horn sounded suddenly, and the deep and mournful sound immediately surpassed the roar of galloping horses, and reached every soldier's ears clearly.

Nachahan grew up on horseback since he was a child, and has been constantly receiving cavalry training and the influence of war since childhood. Their stable psychological quality, skilled horse control skills and absolute obedience are really beyond the reach of the Karad army cavalry.

Jiu Ling'er saw that the cavalry soldiers of the Bailu tribe were in a state of shock and orderly. They followed the command of the bull's horn and galloped freely on the battlefield with ease.He was very envious.If you want the cavalry of the Karade army to reach this level, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it without long-term training.When can I own such an iron cavalry?

The sudden turn of the Calad officers and troops, leaving without a fight, greatly stimulated the gangsters who attacked them.Those chaotic gangsters and gangsters thought they were too many and scared away the Calad officers and soldiers, shouting excitedly one by one, chasing after them crazily.

Ji Yingyue's purpose was not to attack and kill the soldiers of the Karad army. What he wanted to kill were the people of the Tuotu tribe, who were the prisoners escorted by the Karad army.

"Tell those idiots to stop chasing the fleeing Karad army and follow us into the Ghostscream Forest. We will reward the heads of the Tuotu tribe."

The sound of horns from the Balutai Department woke up the gangsters and horse bandits.Everyone suddenly thought that they had come to kill Tuo Tu tribesmen.Killing the officers and soldiers of Karad is of no benefit at all, it is purely a waste of effort.So everyone called and greeted each other, turned their horses' heads and followed the cavalry of Balutai into the Ghost Shouting Forest.The people of the Tuotu tribe have no weapons or horses, and their murderous aura is as hearty as killing chickens.Everyone was happy and rushed forward.

The prisoners of the Tuotu tribe who were escorted were panicked, crying for their parents and mothers, turning around and fleeing along the road in the middle of the forest like a tide.The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and they are about to catch up to the shooting range.At this moment, a big tree on the side of the road suddenly fell down. Several soldiers and gang members who were chasing were caught off guard and were smashed to the ground and died on the spot.The team running at high speed stopped suddenly.And at the entrance of the forest, a large group of people were still swarming in chaotically.

Ji Yingyue grabbed the angry horse with one hand and pointed at the big tree with the whip in the other hand and shouted: "Move it, move it." A dozen or so cavalry soldiers in the front row dismounted and lifted up together. The giant wood moved it to the side of the road.

On the road in the ghost shouting forest, people shouted horses, and the sound of cursing soared into the sky.Many gang members behind were hindered by the soldiers in front, and they didn't know what happened. They were worried that they would not be able to kill people, get heads, or receive rewards, so they yelled anxiously.

"Thumb" rushed into the forest with his secret hand cavalry.Looking back at the more and more soldiers on the road, Ji Yingyue cursed angrily.When the giant tree was moved to the middle of the main road by the soldiers, he couldn't hold back his burning mood, let out an angry roar, and galloped out first.

The people of the Tuotu tribe fled too fast, like frightened rabbits, they ran wildly at an unimaginable speed.

The iron cavalry of Balutai was in the front, "Infinger" led the bandits in the middle, and "Thumb"'s large army was behind. Everyone was excited and galloped along the way, shouting and killing endlessly.Their vanguard has penetrated 500 meters into the forest, while the tail of the group is still running wildly outside the forest.

Jiu Ling'er's troops ran for a while, and found that the vicious gang of horse bandits suddenly gave up their pursuit. He immediately turned his horse's head, the rear team became the front team, turned around and started chasing the horse bandits.

"Thumb" heard the subordinate's report, smiled coldly, and said loudly: "Tell the rear team to advance at full speed and enter the forest. I want to see if he dares to chase him in with the Kharad officers?"

Ji Yingyue's troops were getting closer and closer to the Tuotu tribe. He seemed to see the unarmed Tuotu tribe howling under the iron hooves and dying under the sword. His eyes were full of cruelty. He seemed to have heard When it came to the blood that made people want to vomit, it seemed that their hands were already covered with the blood of the people of the Tuotu tribe.

At this moment, another big tree collapsed with a loud noise, and Ji Yingyue's sight was immediately blocked by it.This time, more soldiers shouted more without waiting for Ji, rolled off their horses one by one, ran over in a panic, and moved the big tree in a hurry.The big tree was half a person's height from the ground, and the soldiers could not do their best. Although there were more and more people lifting the tree, the speed of the big tree was very slow.Ji Ying became more and more furious. He drew out his saber and pointed it at the air, swung left and right, yelled and cursed.The entire pursuit team came to a standstill again. "Thumb"'s troops all entered the Ghost Shouting Forest.

Jiuling'er and the cavalry warriors of the Bailu tribe were galloping at high speed, and they would soon approach the forest.

Seeing the big tree move away, Ji Yingyue turned around and raised his knife, roaring again, and rushed out first.

"Kill, follow me to kill, hooho..." Ji Yingyue waved his saber and shouted hoarsely.

"Wooho..., wooho..." The soldiers echoed in unison, and the huge shouts went straight to the sky and echoed in the depths of the forest.

"Kill..." The chasing team started again, and the dense sound of horseshoes gradually merged into a thunderous roar, which resounded through the Ghost Shouting Forest, as if it wanted to split the huge forest in half.

The terrified face of the Tuotu tribe was shaking in front of Ji Yingyue's eyes, and the running body was just a few feet away, and the excitement of the imminent killing made Ji Yingyue's blood boil, and he roared crazily.

The iron cavalry led by Jiu Ling'er suddenly stopped 70 meters away from Guishao Forest Avenue.

"Kill..." Jiu Ling'er raised the steel gun in her hand and shouted loudly.More than a dozen charging horns sounded at the same time, and the passionate and loud horns soared into the sky.The charging horn sounded almost simultaneously in the depths of the forest, and the sound continued from the edge of the forest to the middle of the forest. It seemed that hundreds of horns were blowing at the same time, and the deep sound almost covered the roar of thousands of galloping horses in the forest.

Ji Yingyue was startled suddenly, he straightened up from the galloping horse and looked up.There are towering trees with dense branches and leaves everywhere, lush shrubs, and the air smells of damp and moldy.Surprised cries from the soldiers behind him reached his ears. Hearing the sound, he looked forward. The people of the Tuotu Tribe who had been fleeing in front of him suddenly seemed to have blown up their battalion. Escape from the depths.

Thoughts of fear flashed through Ji Yingyue's mind.Five thousand captives of the Tuotu tribe who were escorted, how come they haven't killed a single one of them yet?Why have these people been fleeing along the road, and why are they only now fleeing into the dense forest along the way?And after the horns sounded?Could it be that the Tuotu tribe found out that they sent a large army to ambush here?Are the people who have been running away in front of us the bait, and their purpose is to lead us all into the forest?

Suddenly he thought of a fatal problem.He saw the officers and soldiers of Calad fleeing, and thought that the prisoners of the Tuotu tribe following behind were unarmed, and that he could end their lives with a single charge.He completely ignored a problem.Why hasn't the official Karad troops who should follow the Tuotu tribesmen as a rule never seen it?Could it be that they also fled along the forest road in the first place?He realized that he might be caught in an enemy ambush.He wanted to order the troops to stop.In fact, it is impossible at all.The troops have long been lined up, hundreds of meters long, and it takes a lot of time to convey the order to the officers scattered everywhere. Even if the front stopped, the troops behind did not know it, and they still ran wildly, crowded in the crowd. One piece, not only can't turn around, but also become the target of the enemy's attack.Only rush, always rush forward, and rely on speed to rush out of the enemy's ambush.

He opened his mouth to scream.He suddenly saw Se Butao.He opened his mouth wide, stunned.He didn't know what happened, why did things become like this?This is too far from Master Yilatar's explanation before leaving.

Yilatar told him to lead people to ambush near the Ghost Shouting Forest with the big leader of the Secret Hand, "Thumb", and kill the captured Tuotu tribe.In this way, the Tuotu tribe not only suffered heavy losses, but the Karad people also had no way to fulfill their promises, which was a blow to both sides.Ji Yingyue felt that this task was too simple, how could he use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken?He didn't take it to heart at all.

Ji Yingyue was not surprised to see Sebutao at this time, but was surprised to see Sebutao with a sword on his waist and a bow and arrow in his hand.

"Let it go..." Se Butao roared, and the long arrow flew out.Dozens of warriors following behind him aimed at the galloping enemy and shot long arrows in their hands at the same time.Almost at the same time, countless long arrows flew out of the dense forest on both sides of the road.The ear-piercing howling was drowned out by the sound of huge horns and galloping horses, and they suddenly appeared on the forest road without a sound.

The rushing gangster horse bandit was stunned by the long arrow in front of him.They looked at it blankly, at a loss, and they still hadn't figured out what was going on in their minds.

"Pfft... puff..."

The sound of long arrows entering the body was endless, accompanied by intensive screams and roars of fear.The war horses ran wildly and collided with each other. They screamed in pain and ran aimlessly.The gangsters were all immersed in the excitement of killing people and receiving rewards, they never expected that death would be so close to them and come so suddenly.With their unique cunning and ferocity, they ran frantically into the woods on both sides, regardless of life and death.But the long arrows are too dense and die faster.Running forward and backward, all of them are densely packed, with no gaps at all.The long arrow roared crazily, devouring innocent lives at will, without any intention of stopping at all.They were hit by arrows one after another, with heavy casualties and no chance or time to fight back.

Ji Ying made a stab with all his strength, knocked the enemy's long arrow into the air, and shouted with all his strength: "Rush, rush out..."

The horn soldier blew his horn wildly, but before he blew a few more times, he was hit by three arrows and fell backwards from his horse.Ji Yingyue began to accelerate forward again with the extremely frightened soldiers.

Se Butao sneered, turned around and shouted loudly: "Roadblock!"

At the same time, seven or eight big trees fell down one after another on both sides of the road, making a loud noise, and immediately blocked the road completely.

Ji Yingyue let out a desperate howl from his throat.On a big tree not far away, a Kusaite soldier aimed at him.The long arrow roared out, piercing Ji Yingyue's neck.Ji Yingyue trembled immediately, then opened his hands, let go of the saber, and rolled to the ground.Then the galloping horses trampled past his body like flying.

"Thumb" saw the long arrow flying towards him, jumped off the horse almost instinctively, and hid in the side of the horse, nervously looking for opportunities to escape.As the leader of the gangster horse bandit, he was surrounded and suppressed by the government and the Nachahan tribe many times, and he has a lot of experience in successfully escaping.But this time he was also afraid.Seeing the dense rain of arrows whizzing back and forth above his head, and hearing the screams and groans of pain around him, he couldn't help but feel horrified, his hands and feet were cold.The shadow of death enveloped his heart, making him feel suffocated and hopeless.

After about a cup of tea, the dense array of arrows suddenly stopped.The injured screamed loudly, and some rolled around on the ground in great pain.The living people hid under the horses or dead bodies, and dared not move.There was a strong smell of blood in the air. Except for the screams of the wounded and the neighing of the horses, the battlefield was completely silent, and there was no sound, not even the cries of insects in the forest, which seemed very mysterious.

Deathly silence.The tragic breath of death enveloped the bloody battlefield, exuding a suffocating terror.There was no movement in the woods on both sides of the road, and those people who were ambushing in the woods seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, silent.A soldier lying on the ground raised his head ghostly, looked around, and moved his body carefully, preparing to move to a better place.

"Hoo..." A long arrow suddenly shot out from the dense forest, making an extremely terrifying scream, and accurately nailed the soldier to the ground.

"fire……"

I don't know which soldier suddenly discovered that the big tree lying on the road had been lit by the enemy, and the big tree had already started to burn.Immediately, the bushes on both sides of the entire road began to be ignited one after another.Since it was spring, the forest was very humid and the trees had a lot of moisture, so it was difficult to start a big fire for a while, but the choking smoke had already risen into the sky and slowly filled the entire battlefield.

"It's on fire..." Shouts of fear and helplessness followed one after another, and the screams immediately filled the entire battlefield. Some timid soldiers could no longer bear the fear of death and cried bitterly.Those who couldn't bear it stood up one after another and tried to escape, but were shot to death by more long arrows on the road.The ghost shouting forest suddenly became a terrifying slaughterhouse, and the lives of thousands of soldiers were about to be lost at any time.

"Surrender, we surrender..."

Seeing that "Thumb" was surrounded by the enemy, there was no way out, and the enemy planned to set fire to the forest, so he was terrified and shouted.

"Scream quickly, if you don't scream, you will be burned to death, scream..." He kept yelling, urging his subordinates nearby to yell loudly.First, a small group of people shouted, and gradually all the living people shouted hoarsely, hoping for their lives.

The shout finally responded, and the burning bushes on both sides of the road were immediately extinguished.Seeing hope, those who survived shouted even more vigorously.

"Put down your weapons and walk out of the woods one by one. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed." Suddenly there was a shout in the woods, as if a group of people were shouting in unison, the voice was loud, and immediately suppressed the chaotic shouts of the enemy .

A few brave soldiers immediately dropped their weapons, took off the quiver on their backs, raised their hands high, and walked slowly to the side of the road in fear.

Seeing that the enemy hiding in the forest kept their promise, the others did not launch an attack. They rushed to stand up immediately, dropped their weapons, and ran out of the forest at a trot.Outside the forest, the Calad officers and soldiers who fled on purpose just now are now blocking the entrance of the road, going out one and binding the other.

"Thumb" saw his good brother "index finger".He looked around nervously, and asked in a low voice, "Where's that idiot from Balutai?"

"Ji Yingyue was shot to death by people from the Tuotu tribe."

"Infinger" hurriedly moved to his side, whispering.

"People from the Tuotu tribe..."

"Thumbs" was taken aback, "How do you know?"

"Ji Yingyue's guards told me just now that they were blocked in front by people from the Tuotu tribe. All the people from the Tuotu tribe have weapons, and they are blocked in front in a neat line."

"Thumb" glanced carefully into the depths of the woods, and whispered angrily: "Fuck, aren't the people from the Tuotu tribe captives? How could they get involved with the Kharad officers and soldiers? I'm surprised , there are no seven to eight thousand people, how can there be such a dense array of arrows. Is there any secret here?"

Then he rolled his cunning eyes and said doubtfully. "There must be a secret. Did that old ghost of Yilatar lie to us?"

"Index Finger" nodded, and said while walking in small steps behind the soldiers in front. "Kaylatar has no reason to lie to us."

"Thumbs" shook his head, and then said sadly: "We're done now, more than 3000 people are buried here, and that old dog Luhuisi is probably going to laugh out loud."

"Damn it, this Jiuling'er is so damn powerful, even the Sebu thorns will be crushed, let alone us. At the beginning, I told you not to promise Yilatar, but you didn't do it, and you wanted to compete with Jiuling'er. This All right, almost all the brothers have told you to compete." The index finger looked at him very dissatisfied, and said angrily, "For a cup of tea, 4000 people can be brought together. What the hell is this fight?"

"Thumb" snorted unconvinced and stopped making a sound.

More than two hours later, more than 400 captives were tied tightly together by two very long ropes, and there was no way to escape.More than 400 wounded were carried out of the forest.They lay on the ground, moaning loudly.On the grass, the captured weapons were piled up like a hill, and the captured war horses were gathered together by the people of the Bailu tribe.

Jiu Ling'er was very puzzled as she watched Redbeard and Atezuo walking towards her with the two strong men.The big man on the left, in his 30s, is of medium build, with a long, weather-beaten face and a pair of cunning eyes.It was these eyes that made him look very dangerous, and made people feel very alert.The other person is much younger, healthy and flexible, with a face full of vigor, always with a wicked smile on his face, which is very uncomfortable.Now both of them look depressed and uninspired.

"My lord, we have caught the 'thumb'. This is his little brother 'index finger'." Atezuo said, pointing to the two.

Jiu Ling'er suddenly realized.The two men whom Silonia Mayor Julius Luhuis offered a huge bounty for their capture were caught together today.

The two looked up at Jiu Ling'er together.Seeing him so young, both of them had incredulous looks in their eyes.There was even a hint of admiration in the eyes of the second child "Index Finger".

"Are you Jiu Ling'er?" Thumb asked bluntly.

Jiu Ling'er nodded, and said with a smile: "Lord Lu Huisi must be very happy to know that he caught you."

"Being caught by you will inevitably lead to death. But my little brother is young, he has only been with me for a few years, and he has never done anything bad. I hope the Lord can save his life."

Jiu Ling'er was surprised, he looked at "thumbs" carefully, and then said seriously: "If within a month, you can convince these people to change from evil to good and join Karad's army to resist the enemy's invasion, I will Save you and your brother from the death penalty, and let you make meritorious deeds."

Thumbs was taken aback, he could hardly believe his ears.

"Can you make the decision?" Index Finger asked suspiciously.

"I have the authorization of Lord Luzes, the mayor of Corenia, to recruit soldiers in the name of the frontier army of the Corenia Fortress. We will still be fighting in the short term. If you make military exploits, I can naturally ask Lu Zesi for you. Master Huis interceded and spared you from your crimes."

"You didn't lie to us?" Index Finger asked nervously.

"Do you know who they are?" Jiu Ling'er pointed to Redbeard and Atezuo.

The two shook their heads.

Jiu Ling'er laughed, and teased Redbeard and Atezuo: "It seems that the two of you are not as famous as they are?"

The red beard sneered unconvinced, pointed to his nose, and said viciously: "Don't you even know me, the red beard?"

"Thumb" and "index finger" were stunned.

The index finger asked in disbelief, "Are you the red-bearded Alan, the leader of the Kala Kujit tribe in the Whirlwind Caravan of Mount Epetis?"

Alan the red beard nodded arrogantly!

"Thumbs" hurriedly said: "Long-awaited, long-awaited."

His hands were tied, so he could only express his admiration with his eyes.Then he turned his head and asked Atzuo: "I don't know if this brother is..."

"He is Atzo, the little bird of Mount Hakun."

The red-bearded Alan was in a good mood when he saw "Thumbs" expressing respect for him, and immediately introduced him.

It was the first time Jiu Ling'er heard Atezuo's nickname, and laughed out loud.Seeing the anger on Atezuo's face, Jiu Ling'er hurriedly jumped on the horse, laughed and rode away all the way.

Atzuo glared at the red beard and shouted: "Don't call me a little bird."

The red beard knew that Atzo hated people calling him this nickname, and he knew he had made a slip of the tongue, so he hurriedly apologized.

Jiu Ling'er led Lie Zha and Yu Shi and the three of them galloped all the way to the edge of the forest two kilometers away from the battlefield.

Sebutao and his [-]-strong army rode on horses, majestic and majestic, waiting in formation.Seeing Jiu Ling'er galloping towards him, Se Butao and Se Bu Rao galloped up to meet him.

"Thank you, my lord, for coming to see you off." Se Butao said emotionally.

"We've known each other for more than a month, no matter what we say, we can still be regarded as friends. Before we leave, it's also appropriate to come and give it off." Jiu Ling'er said with a smile.

"On behalf of all the warriors of the Tuotu Tribe, I would like to thank you for your kindness to us. Without your benevolence, we would have died in the Kosiang River long ago." Sebutao and Sebu raccoon stood in front of Jiuling'er, giving He gave half a salute.

Jiu Ling'er hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop her, and said softly, "It would be great if there were no wars."

Sebutao and Sebu raccoon were silent.The two looked at Jiu Ling'er and smiled wryly at each other.

"Being able to fight side by side with adults is the most proud thing in my life." Se Butao said slowly, "Thank you for your trust."

Jiu Linger smiled and hugged Sebutao and Seburaccoon respectively. "I wish the two Chai Kans a successful trip."

Uncle Tiza looked at the fire burning in the ghost shouting forest, and said heartbrokenly: "It's a pity for us to burn down such a good forest."

Jiu Ling'er shook her head helplessly, and said softly: "Don't worry too much, old man. If the forest is burned, it can grow again. If it doesn't burn, the problem will be troublesome. The five thousand captives of the Tuotu tribe suddenly disappeared, and they came to attack The three or four thousand gangsters and horse bandits are gone. What do others think? Anyone with a little brains will see that there are ghosts here. After careful speculation, it is not difficult to find that there is something between the people of the Tuotu tribe and us. Burn it All the people, all the traces, all the doubts are gone, without a trace."

"Five thousand captives were burned to the ground. Even if there is something to say in the future, people will not be able to say that we have connections with foreign countries. The Inspector is very worried that the people in the court will know about the plan, which will lead to the disaster of killing the nine clans. Now You can send someone to tell him that there will be no future troubles."

Uncle Tizha laughed, pointed at Jiu Ling'er's head and said, "You are so bold, you should be the one who should lose his head."

Jiu Ling'er led a few subordinates to meet the pale-faced Baoju Town Mayor Liyu Theo.

Jiu Ling'er said to him very frustrated: "Now that the captives of the Tuotu Tribe were burned to death in the Ghost Shouting Forest by the enemy, we have no way to keep our promise, we can only go back on our word."

"Do you know how troublesome it will be if there is no prisoner handed over to Sebuja? When he becomes angry, he will definitely attack Baoju City." Liyutheo said fearfully.

"This Baoju City is the land of my Karad. Even if we don't need to exchange prisoners with him, we will take it back. If Sebuji dares to come to die, we will fight him." Jiu Ling'er said seriously.

"Commander, I just took over Baoju City from the Kusaites. There are no residents in the city, no food, no soldiers, nothing, just an empty city. What do we have to resist Sebuja's army?"

"Didn't I bring 3000 people?" Jiu Ling'er asked strangely, "Didn't you also bring more than 400 people? Why can't so many people guard a small city?"

"There is no food. The food in the warehouse was taken away by the Kusaites. Even the cellar was turned upside down by them. We didn't have anything to eat. Your army has so many people coming at once, and it can't be solved. Eating the bark is enough." Liyuteo was about to cry after speaking.

Jiu Ling'er's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked, "Don't you know we're coming?"

"I know. But the food sent from Amprela City is too little, not enough for our Baoju City soldiers to eat for half a month." Liyuteo said angrily.

At this time Lie Zha hurried in. "My lord, the Tuotu tribe's envoy to hand over the captives is here."

Liyutheo suddenly became nervous, her eyes were dazed and frightened.

The envoys of the Tuotu Tribe flew into a rage and threatened to flatten Baoju City, and then left in a huff.

Jiu Ling'er sat beside the desk, holding back her laughter, feeling very uncomfortable.The mayor, Liyutheo, walked up and down the house nervously, and kept saying, "It's terrible, it's terrible, Sebuja is coming again."

Seeing Liyu Theo's terrified look, Jiuling'er couldn't help it, and tried not to laugh: "My lord, what do you think? You bring all your people, as well as the garrison of Baoju City, Immediately rush to Amprela. When you meet the Inspector, tell him the current situation of Baoju City, and ask him for food. Once the food is ready, let the garrison of Baoju City send it over. I will lead the army here to resist Sebu thorn, it will be a crime. What do you think?"

Liyutheo raised his eyebrows, his expression was very excited, and he hurriedly said: "That's hard work, my lord. I'll set off right away! If I can't get food, I'll sleep at the inspector's lord's house!"

Jiu Ling'er watched the mayor Liyu Theo and others leave outside the city.Seeing their figures gradually disappearing from sight, he couldn't help laughing wildly anymore. "Lie Zha, tell Red Beard to take all the prisoners and enter the city immediately."

Lie Zha promised, beat the horse and left.

"Xiao Xin, where's that Tuo Tu tribe?" Jiu Ling'er asked Sola.

"Being watched from behind."

"Bring him to me immediately."

Baoju City at night is exceptionally quiet.The fire in the ghost shouting forest outside the city was still raging, and the flames rose into the sky from time to time, and the flames reflected the entire half of the sky red.The scorching air enveloped the sky over Baoju City, causing the temperature in the city to rise significantly, as if entering summer in advance, and it was unbearably hot.

"It would be great if it rained. It would be better like the heavy rain we encountered on the Kesiang River." Jiuling'er stood on the city wall, looking at the fire in the distance, and said very anxiously.

"My lord, do you still remember the fire on the Korenia Fortress?" Solasin said with a smile, "Compared to this fire, it is much smaller."

"Ghost shouting forest has a radius of about ten kilometers, with large trees and dense forests. Of course, the fire is bigger than the one in Meishan. Fortunately, there is not much wind these days, otherwise the fire will be even more amazing. Such a large fire was burned in order to confuse the enemy. A forest is really not worth it. It will rain soon."

So La looked up to the sky, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to do what my lord wants."

Yu swore hurried over. "The envoy of Sebuja has arrived with news."

"What does Sebuci say?" Jiu Ling'er asked with concern.

"The cattle, sheep and horse grass are on the way, and they will be delivered tomorrow night."

"When will his large force cross the border?"

"I'll be there in four days."

Jiu Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a relieved smile: "Cooperating secretly with the enemy is like being a thief. I'm very upset, lest others find out. It's all right now, the big thing has been decided, and it's up to Sebu Stab yourself."

Knowing that the Karad people had betrayed their promises and burned all the captives of the Tuotu tribe to death in the Ghost Shouting Forest, Sebuja was furious and kicked off a guard who had reported the news on the spot. Five thousand troops crossed the border and went straight to Baoju City.The Tuotu tribe surrounded the north and east gates of Baoju City.Due to the forest fire in the direction of the south gate and west gate, it was difficult for troops to approach, so we had to send small troops to monitor and prevent the enemies in the city from fleeing.Sebuci took the north gate as the focus of his attack, set up an attack formation, and prepared to start a strong attack the next day.

Looking at the densely packed tents below the city, the countless colorful battle flags, the orderly and mighty cavalry phalanx one after another, the roar that shook the sky, and the sound of horns, the faces of the Calad soldiers on the city were very strange. ugly.

Jiu Ling'er pointed to the demonstration army formation of the Tuotu tribe below the city, and said with a smile: "If the enemy attacks the city, how long can we defend?"

"One month will definitely not be a problem." Wu Erbao said, "Baoju City is located on the frontier. When the city was built, it was considered to prevent invasion. The city walls are all made of big stones. They are tall and strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Now we add There are more than 5000 captives, and logically there is absolutely no possibility of being breached."

"Then why did you say you could only keep it for a month?" Lu Feishui asked in confusion.

"Sebuci is smarter than ghosts. He pretended not to know that we had taken more than 2000 captives, and the food he sent was enough to feed 3000 of us for a month. Now that more than 5000 people are fed, it's not bad to last for a month." Uncle Zha stroked his little red beard, shook his head and explained helplessly.

"Why didn't your lord make it clear when you asked him for supplies?" the red beard asked in surprise.

"I really didn't say that. According to the plan, they shouldn't exist. Sebutao also didn't understand me accepting the surrender of the enemy. He thought that the existence of these people was very dangerous to us, and it was a huge flaw in the execution of the entire plan." He firmly opposed my doing this. Therefore, Sebuci really didn’t know about these prisoners. If he knew, I’m afraid he wouldn’t give us a single sheep.” Jiu Ling’er explained unhurriedly: “However, at that time Under such circumstances, there is no reason to continue to kill. Now that the number of frontier troops is insufficient, recruiting more soldiers is still very beneficial to us."

"Do the thumb and the index finger agree with my proposal?" Jiu Ling'er asked the red beard.

"Anyone is willing to survive. The trouble is that there are more than 400 captives in the Balutai Department. They can't be killed or released. If they really don't need it, they should be killed earlier, and there will be some food left."

Jiu Ling'er shook her head, pointed at Heju and Lu Feishui and said, "Leave it to them. If you can't kill them, you must persuade them to surrender. It's really impossible. After a year or so, let them go when the situation stabilizes."

Hearing this, the red beard said loudly: "My lord, this will bring us trouble. What's the big deal about killing hundreds of people?"

"That's right. My lord, Lord Garsunzade once massacred more than 3000 rebel tribes at the border of the Shuanghe River, regardless of men, women, old or young. If you kill them, you will save a lot of trouble." Yu vowed to take a step forward, solemnly Said.

Jiu Ling'er looked at her subordinates, all of them looked disdainful, including old man Tiza, who didn't understand.To them, killing hundreds of people is like killing a lamb.

"Not to kill." Jiu Ling'er said resolutely.

At night, Jiu Ling'er was awakened by bursts of thunder.He jumped up happily, cheered, and shouted loudly: "Lie Zha, go up the city wall, let's go up the city wall and have a look."

Just as Jiu Ling'er rushed out of the gate with a few guards, heavy rain had already fallen from the sky.

Pi Lan, who was in charge of the night patrol, saw it from a distance on the city wall, and hurried up to meet it. "grown ups……"

"Let's see the rain. The fire seems to be smaller." Jiu Ling'er patted Pilan's shoulder affectionately, and then walked to the edge of the city wall together to look at the Guishou Forest that was still raging and burning.

"If it rains for two days in a row, the fire may be extinguished." Pi Lan said with a smile, "It's just that it's raining so heavily. I don't know if the Kusaites can still attack the city?"

"They will definitely not attack." Jiu Ling'er said confidently.

"Really?" Pi Lan looked at him dubiously.

"It's an old friend, why are you still lying to me?" Jiu Ling'er laughed loudly, put her arms around Pi Lan's shoulders, and suddenly exclaimed: "You seem to have grown taller."

This rain stopped and fell, sometimes big and sometimes small, for several days in a row, and it didn't mean to stop at all.The fire in the ghost shouting forest has been extinguished, and the smell of smoke and dust in the air has become weaker and weaker. The thick smoke, accompanied by rain and fog, permeates the sky above the forest, curling up like a fairyland.A huge piece was burned in the middle of the forest, almost accounting for more than half of the entire forest.

The people of the Tuotu tribe did not attack as expected, they hid in the tent every day, quietly.Every day, there are only patrolling cavalry running around Baoju City. They frequently enter and leave the camp, always on guard against the movements of the Karade army.

There is no war in Baoju City.Jiu Ling'er talked with "Thumbs" and "Index Finger" once, and the two were convinced and willing to bring a group of brothers to join the frontier army.

The more than 400 soldiers of the Balutai Department did not listen to the people of the Bailu tribe at all, and they looked down on the Bailu tribe.Heju and Lu Feishui were so angry that they almost killed them.Jiu Ling'er hurried to the prison camp after knowing the situation.Standing in front of these captives, Jiu Ling'er didn't know what to say for a while.He suddenly remembered Mulek.Mu Leke's method of recruiting captives was simple and direct, and the effect was good, which left a deep impression on Jiu Ling'er.

"You have two ways out. One is to pull it out immediately and chop it up. The second is to follow me. You don't have to be slaves, but you have to work for me and be loyal to me." Jiu Ling'er roared loudly. "Choose now."

The prisoners of Balutai were terrified.This time, the savage was merciful and didn't kill them all, and they had already seen the hope of surviving.At first they thought that the Karad would negotiate with their tribal chiefs and exchange them for a fortune.Now it seems wrong, this guy Jiu Ling'er simply wants to keep it for himself.Since there is no hope of returning home, I have no choice but to save my life first, and we will talk about the rest later.They were used to killing and being killed on the grassland, their tribe was annexed, and they were made prisoners of war and slaves.Many of them are actually soldiers of some small tribes. After their tribes were defeated, annexed, and plundered by the Balutai tribe, they became the spoils of the victors, which is better called slaves.As long as they don't die, what kind of master they have is actually not very important to them.As long as we can survive, we will talk about the rest later.

Jiulinger's deterrent power is much stronger than that of the Nachahan people.The captives at Balutai wisely chose to follow Jiu Ling'er.

Jiu Ling'er immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss the issue of reorganizing more than 2000 surrendered troops.The number of troops has expanded to 400, and the organizational system will naturally change.Yu swears that several of their captains have expressed their opinions on Jiu Linger's recruitment of those who surrendered Kusset Barutai to join the Karad army. Although they did not explicitly express their opposition, it is almost the same as opposition.

Seeing his subordinates speak fiercely and even burst into anger, Jiu Ling'er kept smiling and remained silent until everyone was tired, then he opened his mouth and said: "Your hatred and distrust towards them has a long history and is deeply rooted. Opposition is beyond reproach, and I understand it."

"Maybe it's because I was also a slave in the past. I lived in the riding tribe very early, and I don't have any hatred or prejudice against them. Many of my friends are also Kusats, such as Marshal Mulek, Uncle Adaku Lumu, they can even be said to be my masters. Even though they are opposing sides now, I still respect them and think of them often." A beautiful figure suddenly flashed in Jiu Ling'er's mind, and he remembered ice dew.

"Redbeard, the team that Xumurener brought to Corinia Fortress at that time had more than 200 Cusets and Uwaites. Now they are all distributed in your troops. Don't you get along very well? "

"In the team of the Secret Hand, there are more Sturgians, Cusets, and Uwaites. Since everyone can recognize them, why can't they accept the more than 400 people from the Balutai Department?"

Everyone looked at each other without making a sound.

"In the future, it will be a very troublesome thing for Lord Mayor Luzes and Lord Inspector Faron to know that there are so many barbarians in the army." Yu Oath said solemnly.

Jiu Ling'er smiled and said nonchalantly, "We'll talk about the future. If the mayor and the inspector object, I'll give them some money and let them go home."

"Vaslobos the thumb, and Artimendellos the index finger, you are the same. I have already told you that in the future I will submit a letter saying that you were all burned in the ghost forest, and you are no longer alive. If you have no way out in the future, at least you can use another identity to find a way to make a living, so as not to be hunted down by the officers and soldiers, it can be regarded as the reward you should get after joining the army and contributing to Karad."

Thumb and index finger were very touched, they felt that this Jiu Ling'er was just like the rumors said, she really was a man.The two quickly knelt down and saluted Jiu Ling'er to express their gratitude.

Jiu Ling'er hurriedly helped them up, and at the same time said to everyone: "I am a slave in Kusaite, and I come from a lowly background. I treat them without distinction of high or low, and treat them equally. We all treat each other with sincerity and trust each other. Of course we can be together Get along with each other. If you really object, form another team of captives from the Balutai Department, and I will bring them to be my personal guards."

Yu oath, Urbo, Fatis and others who strongly opposed heard Jiu Ling'er say that, although they felt very unhappy, but it's not good to go too far, so they reluctantly agreed.

Red Beard, Atzo was very opposed to forming them into a personal guard, saying that it was too dangerous, and if something happened to Jiuling'er's life, it would be over.Several people made a lot of noise, making Jiu Ling'er's head big.

Jiu Ling'er expanded the army and divided it into five brigades: front, back, left, and middle.There are 700 people in each team, and they still lead three squadrons, and the number of people in each team has increased slightly compared with the past.Solasin's scout squadron has increased to 200 people, and Uncle Tiza's guard squadron has increased to 300 people.

Under Jiu Ling'er's insistence, more than 400 captives from Balutai formed a personal guard, led by Jiu Ling'er himself.

Feather Oath, Ur Ho, Fatis, Red Beard, and Atzo are the five team captains, Liezha, Pilan, Xu Mublaer, Iron Hammer, and Thumb are the five team vice-captains.Index Finger replaced Lie Zha as the head of Jiu Ling'er's bodyguard.

"Tomorrow, everyone will go out to the south gate and start combat training directly. Especially the troops we brought from Odessa, many of them are infantry temporarily acting as cavalry, and more training is needed."

The thumb and index finger were taken aback, and the latter asked strangely: "We don't have to defend the city anymore?"

"Let's leave the task of defending the city to the Nachahan people." Jiu Ling'er said with a smile, "They can beat the people of the Tuotu tribe and flee in embarrassment."

Thumb and index finger stared wide-eyed, looking at Jiu Ling'er in disbelief.Is he really an idiot?
The siege of Baoju City finally kicked off.On the battlefield at the North Gate, shouting to kill was earth-shattering, the sound of ox horns soared into the sky, long arrows roared in the sky, swords flashed on the city wall, cavalry phalanxes galloped back and forth below the city, and the dust raised up covered the sky and the sun.Seen from a distance, thick smoke billowed from the walls of Baoju City, people's heads jumped, and the fierce battle was in full swing.On the South Gate battlefield, two cavalrymen were fighting fiercely.The sound of bull horns representing various signals came and went, and colorful battle flags fluttered in the wind, moving back and forth.The neighing of war horses, the sound of galloping from far to near like thunder, the frantic shouts of soldiers, and the clash of various weapons filled the entire battlefield.

The battle lasted from morning to evening, and both sides withdrew their troops and returned to their camps.Immediately, the scouts of the Tuotu tribe searched and killed any scouts they encountered within a few kilometers like lunatics, without mercy, as if they wanted to cut off all ties between Baoju City and the outside world, as if they wanted to massacre the city .

The mayor of Baoju Town, Liyou Theo, rushed to Amprela City to report the military situation to the Inspector's Office.Liao Fusi'an was very angry after hearing the mayor's detailed narration, scolding Jiuling'er for being incompetent and arrogant, and refusing to send troops and food.Military affairs officer Xiao Yiying came to ask for a fight for several days, but was rejected.

The warlord Marizius was very excited when he heard the news, and immediately sent his army north to attack Titto's troops.

Now Tititoer is isolated and helpless, and Sebu's army is overwhelming and attacking Baoju City. He is completely ignored, and Makebu's people are gnashing their teeth now, how can they support him.With no protection on the left and right flanks, Titito had to bear the fierce attack from the Grand Karad army alone.

In mid-June, Khan Munchuglian of Kusset left Chaikan to visit the ministries in Kusset in the north as usual.The first stop is Qi Youyi Tribe.The Qi Youyi tribe suddenly rebelled, and the tribe's cavalry besieged the Khan's personal guard cavalry in Mengchug, and the two sides fought.Mengchug's troops were too small to resist, and at the critical moment of their collapse, Sebutao's cavalry suddenly appeared, and five thousand troops entered the battlefield, successfully rescuing Mengchug.Sebutao immediately led his troops to guard Mengchug and quickly approached the Tuotu tribe's territory.

In Wuyunyuan, the troops of Sebutao and Mengzug were intercepted by the troops of Balutai and Ubulit, and Sebutao led his troops to forcefully break out of the siege several times but was repelled.Soon the cavalry of the Qi Youyi tribe caught up.The armies of the three tribes immediately surrounded them.Just when they were about to launch a strong attack, they were attacked at night by an army of [-] troops led by Sebuja himself.The [-] troops of the three coalition forces were almost completely wiped out by the Tuotu tribe.

Almost at the same time, Tulage of the Achite tribe, Yilatar of the Balutai tribe, and Gusukan of the Ubulit tribe each led their tribal armies, united with more than 2000 tribes of all sizes in the northern Kusaite, and assembled An army of 3 people suddenly launched a full-scale attack on the Tuotu tribe.Sebuhui, one of the four chiefs of the Tuotu tribe, led his troops to fight back, fighting and retreating.Sebuwei urgently summoned more than 1000 large and small tribes, gathered 1 people in Baishouyuan, and set up a decisive battle position, vowing to fight to the death.

After the Wuyunyuan battle ended, Mengzug and Sebuci rushed to Baishouyuan to participate in the decisive battle without stopping.

Civil war broke out in full force in the northern Qusaite.At the same time, the battle in Baoju City is in full swing, the two sides are at a stalemate, and the battle is extremely fierce.

At this time, Mulek, who had been hiding behind the scenes, finally couldn't hold back and walked to the front desk.He suspected that Sebuja still had backup, and his information must be inaccurate.If the two sides continue to fight, it will be of no benefit to anyone, and it will be a huge loss to the Kusait Khanate.This is not the result Mulek wanted, let alone the purpose of this coup.He stood up decisively and intervened.

After Mulek's multi-party negotiation and persuasion, Munchug finally compromised in front of the powerful forces of Mulek and Turage, and he agreed to a compromise plan proposed by Mulek to resolve the matter peacefully.

The proposal proposes to split the northern Qusait in two.The northern and eastern two-thirds of the territory is still the northern Qusaite department, and the southwest one-third of the territory is demarcated, and a western Qusaite department is established.In the north, the big Berke of Kusai is called Tulage, and in the west, the big Berk of Kusai is called Sebuja.Since then, the position of the four great Burkes can be inherited.If there are no special circumstances, Chai Kan no longer has the right to appoint candidates.Under the careful planning of Mulek, the power of the Chaikan royal court was dealt a devastating blow.

The Kusait Khanate had no real national situation, it was a loose tribal alliance.Khan Qusait was only a ruler in name only.If the tribes listened to him, he was a Khan.If you don't listen to him, he is just an ordinary tribal leader.

When Urhun and Al Shinan were there, the tribal alliance in the Kusait Kingdom was the strongest and unified, and the Khan had great power.After their death, although the management of Munchug was weak, it could barely maintain it.Now that Mulek has made such a change, it is impossible for the Chaikan Royal Court to barely maintain the status quo.Both Mulek and Turage are the overlords of one party, with great power and powerful troops.Now they openly united to force Montzug to redistribute the Cuset's ministries, and their behavior of trampling the king's authority has reached the extreme.What is especially important is that the position of Big Burke of Cusait can be inherited by each ministry, which is equivalent to telling Chaikan that the internal affairs of the Qusaite Division [-] are no longer in the hands of the Chaikan Royal Court, and this place belongs to our four families.

In any one of the four Cusaites, the position of Big Burke, the power in his hands, the territory he controls, and the number of troops are far greater than that of the Chaikan Royal Court.Now Mulek and Turage, as well as the temporary alliance formed by Kuset Uleman in the south, are so powerful that no one can control them.Under such circumstances, if Munchug wants to continue this Khan comfortably, the best way is to compromise, relying on the only support of Sebu Trick, a conditional compromise.Everyone fell out, and after a fight, at most Kusaite would fall apart, and there would be no loss for several large tribal alliances, but it would be the end of demise for Mengzug and Chaikan Khanzhan.

Munchug now finally knows how powerful Mulek is.Mulek was at Cusset, and there was no one to deal with him but Al Heather.

After the negotiations in Baishouyuan began, the battle in Baoju City stopped, but the Tuotu tribe had no intention of withdrawing their troops at all, and still surrounded Baoju City like an iron barrel.

Jiu Ling'er lay on the grass, smelling the fragrance of the grass and feeling the smell of the soil, her heart was peaceful.

"My lord, there is a man named Sebu Raccoon who wants to see you."

Jiu Ling'er suddenly laughed.

Sebu raccoon can safely return to Baoju City, which proves that Kusait's internal strife is over.For Callard, the people on the northeastern border may have a few years of peace.

Jiu Ling'er turned over and sat up, looked at the cavalry on the grass who were practicing formation, and shouted excitedly: "Look, look, their formation has turned."

With his index finger, Delos didn't even raise his eyelids, and said disdainfully: "After more than 20 days of training, I can't turn anymore, so I'll just go back and become an infantryman."

Jiu Ling'er shook her head, stood up straight, and said with a smile: "You grew up on horseback, so of course you don't know the difficulty of changing from infantry to cavalry. Fortunately, twenty days of hard training has finally yielded some results .”

Sebu raccoon has an unshaven beard and a dusty look.

"Hello, my lord. Have you been working hard recently?" Sebu raccoon came up to him and asked with a smile.

While dismounting from the horse, Jiu Ling'er replied with a smile, "Leading troops to train every day, with real knives and guns, are you tired? Your troops also train hard at the North City Gate. They fight from morning to afternoon every day. I guess the soldiers are going to cry, right?"

Sebu raccoon laughed loudly, "We have gained something. Next time we attack Baoju City, we can take it in a day."

"Stop bragging." Jiu Ling'er couldn't help but stretch out her hand and punched him lightly, "One more day? You can dream."

The two walked side by side on the grass like old friends, chatting and laughing.

"So, the biggest winner of this civil strife in Kusait is Big Burke from the [-]th Department of Kusait." Jiu Ling'er said casually after listening to Sebu Raccoon's introduction.

"I think only Mulek is the winner. Although Mulek intends to get rid of the Tuotu tribe and Munchug Khan together, it is a pity that he overestimated himself and missed Sebutao's troops He has been quietly lying in ambush near the Qi Youyi tribe. If Mengzuge is not dead, he has no excuse to set up another Khan, and he has no reason to destroy us."

"You mean to say that if Munchug died, he would put the blame on Sebza?"

"The Qi Youyi tribe was originally attached to us. This time, Mulek persuaded him to join him. Mengchug was killed by the Qi Youyi tribe. All tribes can use the name of revenge for Khan Mengchug to attack Tuotu tribe. So after we got the news, in order to keep it secret, even Mengchug didn’t disclose it, and directly pulled the team to the Qi Youyi tribe. Speaking of which, our surprise army is the one who saved Mengchug and Tuotu tribe this time The number one hero."

"Then you must have been promoted?" Jiu Ling'er asked happily.

"I am now the youngest leader of the Tuotu tribe." Sebu raccoon said excitedly.

"Congratulations, congratulations. Congratulations to Mr. Sebza. He is more beautiful than before, and his rights can be inherited forever. In fact, he is now the big Burke of the western Cusset."

Sebu raccoon nodded. "It's estimated that Mullerke has broken his head and never thought that we will form an alliance and deal with him together."

Jiu Ling'er smiled and shook her head repeatedly, "You must not think that way, never. Montchug is an example. He thought that his scheming was the most powerful in Cusette, and he plotted against the Generalissimo in every possible way. Now look, Munchug was almost killed by Mulek."

Jiu Ling'er stopped and said solemnly to Sebu Raccoon: "We are friends, so let me give you a piece of advice. In Kusset, it's best to be Mulek's friend, never to be his enemy. If you do kills his enemies, and dies quickly."

Sebu raccoon smiled awkwardly and nodded repeatedly.

"When the Generalissimo sees Sebutao, he will immediately guess a general idea. It is okay to deceive ordinary people by saying that you escaped from the fire, but it is a joke to deceive him. What's more, tens of thousands of troops participated in this matter. It can’t be kept secret for long.”

"My lord is the direct executor of this matter, will you be implicated in any way?" Sebu raccoon asked worriedly.

"No. Although there are many doubts about this matter, both sides are enemies, and no definite evidence can be found. I can justify myself. Of course, I will burn you all, and I will bear the crime of dereliction of duty." Nine Linger laughed.

Sebu raccoon knew that he was powerful, and that such a trivial matter could definitely be taken care of, so he didn't care about it immediately.

"Your Excellency sent me here, one is to convey the order to retreat, and the other is to let me thank you on his behalf, and the hatred between us in the past will be wiped out."

Jiu Ling'er shook her head emotionally.How can hatred be written off?I'm afraid the knot will get deeper and deeper in the future.

"If you have any other requests, I can convey them to you."

"Yes." Jiu Ling'er said hastily, "I need food, supplies, and pay for the soldiers. I have sent all of your people back, but what about the things that you Sebutri Da Burke gave us? We can't let them be cheap. You have it all."

Sebu raccoon laughed, "It's all been arranged. According to the negotiated quantity, I brought the top-quality fur, silk cloth and some gold and silver valuables this time, and I will send someone to deliver them in the middle of the night. As for the cattle and sheep Waiting for livestock, the goal is too big, it was agreed last time that we will not provide any more. Don’t you have anything to eat?”

Jiu Ling'er nodded, and said helplessly, "Then I'll send someone to your camp tomorrow to grab some."

"Come in the afternoon. Tomorrow we will withdraw our troops. Also, I will say goodbye to you. We will meet again when we have a chance in the future."

Jiu Ling'er nodded and said with a smile: "If there is a suitable opportunity, I will treat you to a drink."

Looking at the back of the colored cloth raccoon dog gradually disappearing, Jiu Ling'er felt a little lost.

"This kid is really lucky. You didn't kill him in the Kesiang River. Now the fortune has turned and he has become the four chiefs of the Tuotu tribe." Delos snorted dissatisfied and whispered.

"My lord, what are you still looking at?" Seeing Jiu Ling'er standing there without any movement for a long time, Delos hurried up to her and asked in a low voice.

"I was thinking, do I have a chance to buy him a drink?" Jiu Ling'er said.

Delos laughed, and said casually: "I guess it's difficult? These Kusaites talk about the country of Calad every day, and always think about how many places to occupy. There are wars, and wine? I guess there is no chance to drink."

Jiu Ling'er shook her head, smiled wryly and said, "Go find Captain Suo Lixin and tell him that I have something to call on him."

The army of the Kussets withdrew.Baoju City immediately restored its former tranquility.Jiu Ling'er sent people to Amprela and Silonia to report the victory, and at the same time asked Liyu Teo, the mayor of Baoju Town, to bring people back as soon as possible.For his troops will be returning to Silonia soon.The barracks of the troops have been stationed outside the south gate, ready to move out at any time.

Jiu Ling'er sat alone in the tent and thought about it for a long time, then walked into the camp of the Guard Squadron.The two squadron leaders hurriedly took him into the tent.These two squadron leaders turned out to be centurions of the Baluttai Department's cavalry unit. Although they were young, Cusette was a soldier on horseback. They had been in the army for many years and their qualifications were very old.

Tall and burly, with a long face and a short beard, the fierce-looking man was named Goulding.Another young man with a slender figure and a handsome face with big eyes and a taciturn name was Qiercha.

Jiu Ling'er motioned for the two to sit down, chatted a few words casually, and briefly told them what happened in Cusette.

"It is estimated that there will be fewer conflicts on the border in recent years, and the possibility of war is not high. So I thought about it for a long time, and I think it is better to let you go. You are not familiar with the place in Calad. If I have any accident, Or die, it’s hard to say what happened to you.”

Goulding and Qiercha looked at each other with doubts on their faces.

"Your Excellency, you want us to go back to Cusait?" Goulding asked.

Jiu Ling'er nodded, "Yes. If you are like me, you are alone and careless, and it doesn't matter where you die, of course it doesn't matter. But if you have a mother, children and relatives at home, you will always be concerned about it, stay in Here is a kind of pain. There is no war on the border, you all go back."

Goulding and Qiercha were so moved that they prostrated themselves on the ground and kowtowed to Jiuling'er in gratitude.

Jiu Ling'er quickly helped them up, and said with a smile: "I used to be a slave, and I know everything. If you want to go back, you can go back. If you don't want to go back, you can stay with me. We are like brothers. We are in trouble. Together, we share the blessings. There are also wounded soldiers, and those who want to go back will also take them away."

The next day, Goulding and Qiercha sent away more than 100 people.Uncle Tiza arranged for the guard squadron to provide them with horses and food, and let them go.Seeing that most of the people stayed behind, Jiu Ling'er felt hot and her eyes were moist.Those who stayed were all slaves in the tribe, and to put it bluntly, they were all alone, just like Jiu Ling'er, a widow.They were all soldiers captured when the tribes fought each other, and their family members died in the war.Who doesn't come home?There is no home.

In the evening, Jiu Ling'er stayed in the Guard Squadron and had dinner with the Cusaite soldiers.Everyone blowing nonsense together. "Do you know what impressed me the most after I returned to Calad?"

Nobody knows.Everyone looked at him and listened to what he continued. "It's the food from the fortress of Corinia. For the first time, I ate two large bowls in one go, two super-large bowls. I have never eaten such delicious food."

Seeing Jiu Ling'er's exaggerated and idiotic expression, Uncle Tizha couldn't help it, and burst out laughing, spraying food dregs all over the floor.Delos also felt that Jiu Ling'er was exaggerating, so he followed Uncle Tiza and laughed loudly.

Cussets are weird.Although they haven't eaten it, but seeing Jiu Ling'er's appearance, they believe that it must be delicious.But why are the other two adults laughing so hard?Jiu Ling'er looked at Uncle Tizha and shook her head very puzzled.At this moment, Solasin hurried in.

"My lord, someone from the Kujit tribe is asking to see you." Jiu Ling'er's heart sank suddenly.There must be something wrong with the Kujit department, otherwise Mesoyi, who only met once, would never send someone to find him.
