Heavy snow is falling, and it is already winter.

Ji Thief stood on a hill looking north, and behind him, stood Yi, Tushan and Xiang.

The blade-toothed tiger crouched at the feet of the thief, very obedient.

Xiang glanced at the blade-toothed tiger, and once again couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Whenever you see a saber-toothed tiger, Xiang is like this.

In his opinion, what is the blade-toothed tiger, it is the king of the jungle, and the blade-toothed tiger of the thief is different from the blade-toothed tiger he saw in the wild.

is such a blade-toothed tiger, to say the least, it is also the king of a mountain range.

But such a king, now he is surrendered to the feet of the thief, how can this not surprise Xiang?

The thief spread out his palm and caught the large snowflakes falling from the air, he looked down at the snowflakes in his palms, and before the temperature of his palms melted them, new snowflakes had already reoccupied his palms.

"Before you know it, we've been out for five months. Ji Thief sighed.

Yi and Tushan both nodded.

The two of them counted the time, and it had been five months since they came out of the large mountain range.

In the past five months, the Northern Expedition has conquered three places one after another: the Red Blood and Red Plains, the Withered Leaf Plain and the Black Soil Plain, and has been subjugated by a total of 6,000 people.

Counting the White Ape Mountain Range, Qinggu Plain and Feimu Mountain Range, in the past five months, a total of more than 10,000 people from six places have been gathered.

And the prestige of the thief has also taken root in these six places.

Now turn your head back and ask, find a random place, pull a random clansman, even if you ask him if he knows the thief, then the answer you get must be the thief who doesn't know, that's God!

"Xiang, how is your clansman injured this time?"

Ji Thief slapped the snowflakes in his palms and asked without looking back.

Since he came out of the White Ape Mountain Range, Xiang took the seventy-six remaining members of the previous White Ape Tribe, that is, his tribe, with the army.

During the two-month campaign, Xiang did not hide his personal interests, and pulled his own people up to fight.

Two months is not a long time, but it is not a short time, and his people have already integrated into the coalition army in the process of conquest.

After all, the battlefield is the best place to build friendship.

"Ah Hu and Oga take care of each time, so my people have nothing to lose. Xiang replied.

Ji Thief smiled: "That's good." ”

As he spoke, he opened his mouth and asked, "Yi, what's the place ahead?"

"Icy Mountains. ”

"Ice Forest Mountains?" Ji Thief looked back in wonder: "This name is a bit interesting, how did you choose this name?"

"I heard Ah Hu say that there is a lot of ice in the Ice Forest Mountains every winter, which is like a forest, so it has this name. Patriarch, are we going into the Ice Forest Mountains?" Yi asked.

When the thief heard this, he hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Forget it, we have been going north for five months, and the clansmen will definitely not be able to stand it after repeated battles, so let everyone rest for a month, in addition, let the hussars quickly inform the heads of the five places of Qinggu Plain, Feimu Mountain Range, White Ape Mountain Range, Red Blood Red Plain, and Withered Leaf Plain, and call them all over to the Black Earth Plain." ”

When he said these words, Ji Thief turned around and smiled: "It's winter, let everyone come over and chat, get to know each other, and by the way, report on the work of various places and so on." ”

"Yes, Patriarch. ”

Yi bowed his hand and agreed, turned around and went down to make arrangements.

After Yi left, Tushan asked Ji Thief: "Patriarch, do we really want to rest for a month?

Ji Thief smiled and stretched: "We are not old men buried in the soil again, the time is still long, not less than this month." Moreover, winter is not conducive to conquest, so instead of going out to fight in the harsh winter, it is better to stay and recuperate for some time, you say?"

Tushan shook his head: "Whatever the patriarch says, I don't have an idea." ”

Hearing this, the thief laughed and scolded, turned around and said, "Tell me to go down, and take out ten jars of wine tonight to treat everyone." ”

"Ten altars?" Tushan opened his eyes: "It's not the patriarch, we have a total of nineteen altars left, what if we run out?"

Ji Thief spread his hands: "It's okay, someone will bring us wine." ”

"Sending wine?" Tsuchiyama wondered.

Ji Thief took out a piece of linen cloth from his arms and shook it: "Look, Xue only asked Xiao Jin to send me the news a few days ago, Ah Zhi led the material team to set off two months ago and is rushing over along the way, and it will be able to catch up with us in another month at most." ”

"That's why Patriarch you let everyone rest for a month?" asked Tsuchiyama.

Ji Thief had an innocent expression on his face: "Look at what you said, didn't I want everyone to drink." ”

Tsuchiyama: "Hehe. ”

Seeing Tushan's appearance, Ji Thief laughed, took the sackcloth and turned around and walked back: "Okay, okay, if you have wine for you to drink, you can drink it, what do you do so much, Xiang, go, let's not get drunk tonight." ”

Xiang nodded, smiled innocently, and followed the thief down the mountain.

In the two months that I followed Ji Thief, I don't know why, Xiang always felt that this man who was many years younger than himself was very reliable.

On Ji Thief's face, Xiang had never seen the negative emotions of disappointment and loss.

Occasionally, there are signs of grief, and that is only when the corpses of those killed in battle are burned.

More often, the thieves are smiling and laughing.

In two months, Xiang has already substituted himself into the Lihuo tribe and into the identity of a large mountain range.

He came down the mountain and entered the camp.

In the snowy weather, except for the clansmen who were patrolling outside, the rest of the clansmen were all in the tents to warm up and rest.

The laughter and laughter of the clansmen came continuously, which was unexpectedly warm for Xiang, who was accustomed to hearing the sound of the battle for two consecutive months.

Along the way, the patrol team would stop to say hello when they saw the thief, and the thief responded very politely.

At first, Xiang thought that the thief was deliberately pretentious, after all, as a thief, the clansmen greeted him, which was their duty.

But after several times, Xiang saw that the thief never put on a score, and only then did he understand that this was the daily life of the Lihuo tribe, or a large mountain range.

Zeng Xiang didn't know why the thief was so popular in the large mountain range for a while, although he also learned about some large mountain ranges from the mouth of the eagle and Yi, and knew that the thief was the patriarch of the Lihuo tribe, the largest tribe in the large mountain range, and the chief wartime person of the large mountain range federation.

However, such a position, for the thief who can't resist on the shoulder, can't lift the hand, and doesn't have much combat effectiveness, it's a bit heavy, it stands to reason that everyone can guarantee that it's good to listen to the thief, and he shouldn't be convinced.

Not to mention fierce people like Tsuchiyama and Hunt, Ah Hu and Oga who have a skill, and Yi and Eagle, who are smart, shouldn't obey Ji Thief's words.

However, as Xiang got along with the thief, gradually, he was also impressed by the personality charm of the thief.

The thief does things inferiorly, but the character of the thief is noble.

The identity of the thief is high, but the character of the thief is easy-going.

The thief is merciless to the enemy, just like this cold weather, but the thief is as warm as fire to his friends.

The wisdom of the thief is endless, and when facing the thief, Xiang always feels like a fallen leaf and encounters a whole lush forest.

Ji thieves never bullied their clansmen at will by virtue of their identity, nor did they get angry and punish them because of their words.

On the other hand, at Ji Thief, you can joke with him at will.

This is the most intuitive feeling that Xiang got from getting along with Ji Thief during this time.

However, it is said that there is an Usma in the Lihuo tribe who is always bullied by the thief, well, it should be the problem of the one named Usma.

Two months ago, Xiang always didn't like to speak, and was silent at every turn.

However, in the past few days with Ji Thief, maybe even Xiang himself has not noticed it, and his temperament has gradually become cheerful, and he is no longer as lifeless as before.

And these, this is all the credit of the thief.

But if you really find fault with the thief, that is, the thief always inadvertently exposes his obscene and dirty nature.

This is an experience that Xiang has never experienced.

In Xiang's opinion, in terms of the identity and status of the thief, it should be unpredictable, but the thief is different, he is standing there, he can be caught, touched, a real person!
