Chapter 398 Wolf(1/2)
The patrol team, escorted by the Xiaoqi Camp, left Yanmen Pass and headed towards Heifeng City.
The distance from Yanmen Pass to Heifeng City was not far. In the past, horse thieves and bandits were rampant. However, after Zhao Pu built Heifeng City, all the horse thieves were captured by him. After the stability, many people went out to do business, mostly inns, tea shops, and some foreign exchanges. Zhao Pu has always been very encouraged for business. As long as he does not do evil and does not harm others, and abides by the laws and regulations of the Han people, anyone can do business.
Therefore, although everyone chose the official road all the way, there were still markets and camel caravans coming and going on both sides.
The little fourth son didn't see the camel last time. He felt very strange when he saw it. He raised the car window and asked Gongsun, "Dad, is that a camel?"
Gongsun nodded. Not to mention that Xiao Sizi had never seen him, many of them were from Jiangnan, and they had never seen him.
Long Qiaoguang waved to a young man who was renting camels in the distance, pointing to one of the camels with the cleanest spirit.
The young man immediately understood and pulled the camel over, "Official, do you want to rent a camel?"
Long Qiaoguang gave him a silver ingot.
The young man took the money and gave the camel to the shadow guard who was holding the rope.
The shadow guards asked him to go to the gate of Heifeng City tomorrow to pick it up, so they took the little Sizi out of the carriage and put it on the camel.
The camel is much gentler than the horse, and is much taller. The little fourth son sat on the rattan chair on the camel's back, looking up at the towering Black Wind City in the distance. The huge "Zhao" flag on the city tower was fluttering in the wind.
Zhan Zhao was also very interested in the camel. He sat on Zao Duoduo's back and reached out to touch the camel's neck.
The lookout soldiers on the Black Wind City Tower had obviously seen this vast team. The low and distant sound of the horns sounded, and then several arrows were shot into the sky.
At this time, the sky was dark, and the light that exploded in the sky overwhelmed the afterglow of the sunset.
Bai Yutang held a knife in one hand and the reins of Bai Yunfan in the other hand, and asked the Zheying beside him, "Why are you firing the arrow?"
Zheying smiled slightly and said, "Tell the neighbors that the boss is back and let them be honest."
While speaking, Long Qiaoguang, who was riding a horse lazily in front, waved to the city tower of Heifeng City.
Everyone looked up and saw a man wearing light-colored soft armor at the top of the city wall of Heifeng City, looking up here.
Everyone who had been to Heifeng City before knew him. He Yihang, the deputy commander of the Zhao family army.
Next to He Yihang, another person walked up and saw a bright red head from a distance, which was particularly eye-catching. It was the Fire Kirin Ouyang Shaozheng.
The little fourth son sat on the camel, recognized Ouyang Shaozheng's hair at a glance, and reached out to wave to him.
Ouyang smiled and waved to him.
However, everyone looked around but couldn't see Zou Liang.
Long Qiaoguang frowned, "Where is the boy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the gate of Heifeng City was wide open. In the door, a black-robed general walked out with two teams of men. The men and swallows were lined up in shape. The general with black battle robe, black armor and black cloak was just the mute wolf Zou Liang.
Zou Liang looked thin and thin in black, always expressionless, and his skin was pale, all his face was full of - don't mess with the old man when he was in a bad mood.
Everyone was amused and crying.
Zhao Pu shook his head.
Long Qiaoguang said to himself, "Oh? I'm a little more energetic? It seems that chatting with Sail for a night last night was still useful."
Everyone around me was a little curious - who was Sailer? It sounded like a foreigner.
The Zhao family army's usual military appearance was solemn and majestic that after everyone entered the city, they settled down without mentioning it.
...
After dinner, everyone met at Zhao Pu’s military camp. They sat down and drank tea, and found that Zou Liang was not there.
"Where are people?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Ouyang said, "I went back to Zuoying. He didn't eat dinner here, so he took a pot of wine and said he was going to have barbecue with Sail."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other - it was Sail again?
Zhao Pu asked He Yihang about the specific situation, and then discussed the next action with everyone, and decided to take action separately.
Zhao Pudao, "Otherwise, I will discuss it with Lin Yehuo and investigate the case of that year together?"
Everyone thought this was a good suggestion.
In addition, Zhao Pu also needs to investigate the recent situation of other countries, so he stayed in Heifeng City to investigate. Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and Long Qiaoguang went to Huofengtang together. Long Qiaoguang represented Zou Liang and needed to communicate with Huofengtang. In Long Qiaoguang's words, it was to help the brothers resolve emotional disputes... However, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt that it was because Zhao Pu thought he was annoyed and sent him away for a few days to be quiet.
Mr. Yin and Tianzun also wanted to go to Huofeng Hall and discuss with Wusha. Gongsun stayed to help Zhao Pu, but the little fourth son wanted to go to Huofeng Hall. So Gongsun entrusted Xiao Sizi to Zhan Zhao. In fact, everyone knew that Xiao Sizi wanted to go to Huofeng Hall to see, and Xiao Liang might be there.
After the discussion was made, everyone would have a rest early.
That night, Bai Yutang tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. I wonder if he was recognizing the bed. The bed in the military camp was a bit hard, or was the wind and sand in the desert too strong? It was a whimpering sound.
Bai Yutang simply got out of bed and looked at the bed next to him. Zhan Zhao was sleeping soundly with his little Sizi in his arms.
Gongsun was tired from traveling today and was going to sleep for a little longer tomorrow, but Zhan Zhao and the others were going to travel early tomorrow morning, so the little fourth son simply came to sleep with Zhan Zhao. The little guy was very honest in sleeping, curled up into a ball, wrapped in a quilt and leaned against Zhan Zhao's arm.
Bai Yutang gently pulled the quilt for Zhan Zhao, covering his exposed shoulders, and turned around and went out.
Zhan Zhao opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the door, shook his head, pulled Xiao Sizi into his arms, covered him with a quilt and continued to sleep, muttering in his stomach - the delicate rat must have recognized the bed!
The desert at night was unexpectedly cold. When Bai Yutang arrived at the door, he felt cold. He reached out and put on the white cloak hanging at the door and walked out of the tent.
On the tower of Black Wind City, soldiers were wearing thick furs and were waiting for the soldiers on shift to sit around the stove and chat.
As soon as Bai Yutang walked out, he felt many gazes sweeping, which showed the alertness of the guards of Zhao Pu’s military camp. However, after the guards found out that it was him, they all withdrew their gaze and continued to watch.
Bai Yutang walked towards the north city gate facing the desert, and met several teams of soldiers along the way. Several commanders knew him and asked, "Can't the fifth master sleep?"
Bai Yutang nodded and asked, "Can you go out and have a look?"
A soldier showed him the way, "You can go out to the left side door and just say it to the officers and soldiers guarding the city, but don't go too far, it will be very cold at night."
Bai Yutang nodded and walked in the direction they pointed. Sure enough, he successfully walked out of the gate of Heifeng City and walked outside.
To the north of Black Wind City is the desert.
The desert at night was no longer as vast as the day, and it was pitch black and boundless. It reminded Bai Yutang of the night of the Sunkong Island. Looking at the scene outside the sea, he inexplicably felt a familiar feeling.
Bai Yutang walked out and was attracted by a little fire in the distance.
When I walked quickly, I found a huge dead tree lying down on the edge of the desert. The ancient tree was decayed and only had a broken empty shell, but it was half a person tall. You can imagine how thick it was when it survived. Behind the trunk, there was a leaping fire and a crackling sound when the branches burned. It seemed that someone lit a bonfire behind it.
Bai Yutang wanted to go around the trunk to see who was sleeping in this deserted desert in the middle of the night, but was attracted by all the strange noises coming from afar.
He looked to the right and saw a dense forest on the right. In the dark forest, there were little and little green light flashing. This was the eyes of the beast.
Bai Yutang frowned slightly, and from his breath, he could feel that there were wolves in the woods.
Just as he was staring at the bushes in a daze, a gentle sound of footsteps came.
Bai Yutang frowned—the footsteps are not human, they are too light...
He turned around... he was slightly stunned.
I saw that at some point a huge white wolf walked out from behind the tree trunk, with blue-green eyes staring at him.
The white wolf was at least twice the size of an average wolf. The snow-white hair became thicker due to the cold, and the strong body seemed very straight. A snow-white thick tail was hanging down behind him.
Bai Yutang met a wolf on a narrow road in the desert, and Bai Yutang had never encountered this situation. However, the wolf did not seem to take it seriously. He walked slowly past Bai Yutang, sat in the open space not far away, and looked at a full moon hanging on the horizon in the distance.
When the cold wind blew, the white wolf's hair fluttered gently with the wind. The wolf's expression was not fierce, and he looked ahead lightly.
At this time, a few dark clouds covered the full moon, and a little chill was added to the wind.
When Bai Yutang was watching the white wolf in a daze, he heard the voice of a person coming from behind the trunk, "It's going to snow."
Bai Yutang walked past the trunk and looked down... and saw behind the trunk, sitting alone by the bonfire, wearing black clothes, holding a small wine jar in his hand, and a black broken knife was inserted in front of him - it was Zou Liang.
There is also a shelf by the bonfire, some barbecue, and mottled blood on the ground...
Bai Yutang thought for a while, turned to look at the white wolf who was still sitting not far away, and asked, "Is it Seller?"
Hearing the word "Seller", the white wolf glanced at Bai Yutang again.
Zou Liang took a sip of wine and said, "It seems to like you very much. Usually, when others come over, it will go back to the forest."
Bai Yutang walked to the trunk and sat down, asking, "Why is it called Sail?"
Zou Liang said, "The meaning of the Moon God... The wolf packs in the desert have been passed down from generation to generation, all of which are white wolf kings, and they are all called Sail."
Bai Yutang looked at Sail again and asked, "It's what raises you?"
Zou Liang shook his head, "It's the previous generation of the previous generation, it's dead. It's the son of my brother."
Bai Yutang was a little curious, "How many years can a wolf live?"
Zou Liang continued to drink, "Well, it takes more than twenty years to get longer, and more than ten years to get shorter."
Bai Yutang nodded.
At this time, Sailer walked over a few steps, sat next to Bai Yutang, and looked up at the sky.
While the white wolf raised his face, the snowflakes fell down...
Bai Yutang watched the snowflakes fall one by one and disappear into the bonfire.
"Which direction is the Ghost Sea?" Bai Yutang suddenly asked.
Zou Liang pointed to the northwest direction, "There is very far and far there."
"Where is Huofeng Hall?" Bai Yutang continued.
To be continued...
