Lin Kuotai, almost 1.85 meters tall, has a beard, and is very strong and burly. Just stood there, and his body naturally exuded a domineering spirit. However, now his face was gloomy, very cold, very cold, and his eyes were mixed with anger, which could explode at any time.

There were more than a hundred young men beside him, all of them with tigers on their backs, carrying bows and arrows and arrows, and Qingmeng knives stuck in their waists, all armed and murderous.

Huo Qing, Jiang Yang, Zhang Kun, and Lao Qi were pushed in front of Lin Kuotai in this situation.

"Patriarch, they are sneaking around outside our Arabell Banner, and I suspect they are spies sent by the Barut Banner. ”

"We are not spies. ”

This black cauldron is not easy to carry, looking at the posture of these young people, I can't wait to peel them and cramp them, and the bones are crushed, Huo Qing hurriedly explained.

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

These young people held torches and shouted loudly, and the momentum shook the sky.

Lin Kuotai shouted: "Xiongzi, you go and tie them to the tying stakes and light the sky lanterns for them." ”

"Yes. ”

Lin Xiongzi is a young man like a bear, with a height of almost two meters, dark skin, big shoulders and a round waist, giving people a very powerful feeling. He walked in front of Huo Qing and lifted Huo Qing up as if he was carrying a little chicken. A few more people came up to push Jiang Yang, Lao Qi, and Zhang Kun.

Jiang Yang said angrily: "Lao Tzu is Lin Ying'er's friend......"

Exercise!

A disciple of the Lin family went up and kicked Jiang Yang on the heel and scolded: "Are you still quite arrogant? Believe it or not, we won't let you bleed now." ”

Huo Qing shouted: "Patriarch Lin, we are really friends of Lin Ying'er, my name is Huo Qing......"

"Wait a minute!"

Lin Kuotai took a torch, walked to Huo Qing and took a photo, and asked, "Are you really Huo Qing?"

Huo Qing hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it's me." ”

"Why are you here, our family Ying'er?"

"That's ......"

It seems that Lin Yinger told Lin Kuotai about Huo Qing, Bai Jingchu, and Xu Yan. Otherwise, Lin Kuotai would not have had such a reaction. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huo Qing hurriedly took him and Jiang Yang, Lin Ying'er and others out of Tonghe City, and as soon as they entered the prairie, they let the horse thieves target them.

On the hillside, it was besieged by horse thieves.

In the Wild Wolf Valley, one hundred and fifty or sixty horse thieves such as Huang Shalang and Zhu Huang were surrounded. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the wolves returned. They seized the opportunity and immediately ran back. However, Huo Qing was unwilling, so he took a few brothers to ambush him halfway, and let Lin Ying'er, Anu and others come back first.

Now, when they got home, they didn't see Lin Ying'er. It is very likely that Lin Ying'er and others went to Urad Banner.

Huo Qing asked, "Patriarch Lin, please contact the people of Urad Banner immediately and ask if Lin Ying'er and the others are there?"

When she was in the border city, Lin Ying'er called Lin Kuotai. However, now, the Lin family's telephone line has been cut off, and there is no way to contact the outside world at all. However, Lin Kuotai believed Huo Qing's words. So many guns and ammunition, as well as the mad demon Jiang Yang, and the injured Lao Qi, these are all evidence.

Lin Kuotai called the two Lin family disciples and shouted, "You should immediately go to Urad Banner to find out if there is any situation with the eldest lady." ”

"Yes......"

"Wait a minute. ”

Huo Qing hurriedly said: "We have killed almost eighty or ninety horse thieves, and they will definitely not give up." I'm afraid that when they go to Urad Banner, they will encounter horse thieves who will catch up......"

"Eighty, ninety horse thieves?"

The clansmen of the Arabell Banner present all opened their mouths wide and were stunned. In the entire Qingmeng prairie, who doesn't know the power of horse thieves? They robbed houses and houses, killed people and sold goods, and did nothing evil. Why do those nomads cling to the Arabel Banner, or the Balut Banner, or so on? Truth be told, it's because they're often harassed and killed by horse thieves.

It can be said that they have an enmity with horse thieves!

Now, Huo Qing and the others actually killed eighty or ninety horse thieves, which can be regarded as relieving their hatred. Looking at the gazes of Huo Qing and the others again, they were all a little different, mixed with worship and admiration. Everyone in the prairie has a gangster spirit, and they worship heroes.

Lin Kuotai laughed and said, "Haha, don't worry, we have a shortcut to Urad Banner." ”

"Good. ”

"Go and come back quickly. ”

"Yes. ”

The two Lin family disciples agreed, jumped on their horses, and drove away with a bang.

Huo Qing glanced around and asked, "Patriarch Lin, I don't quite understand, these horses and sheep, and you...... What's going on here?"

Lin Kuotai looked at the dead and wounded sheep with regret, and said sadly: "The wolves attacked our tribe, and these sheep were all bitten to death. ”

In the Qingmeng steppe, wolves and herders coexist. They have lived in peace with each other, and everyone has always adhered to it, and no one has broken this equilibrium. However, with soil erosion in recent years, the grassland has become seriously desertified, and there is less and less grassland for herders to graze. Otherwise, Lin Kuotai and other clansmen would not have been stationed in the depths of the prairie.

People don't think about how to manage the grasslands, but say that because of the wild goats, they eat grass and rob the herders of the food for the horses, cattle and sheep that the herders have raised. On the one hand, there are people who hunt and come to hunt wild goats to sell them for money. Gradually, there were fewer and fewer wild goats, so that the wolves had no food.

Previously, wild wolves mainly ate wild goats. Now that there are fewer wild goats, they naturally set their sights on the herdsmen's horses, cattle and sheep. A tribe, a tribe was attacked, and these tribes also formed an alliance, and every spring and autumn, they all formed a wolf fighting team, and they fought wolves when they saw them.

The current steppe wolf has really become a street rat, and everyone shouts and beats it.

There was no way, so these wild wolves all gathered in the Wild Wolf Valley. Under normal circumstances, they come out to hunt at night, and stay in the wolf valley during the day, rarely coming out. There are many wolves in Wolf Valley, and the wolf team does not dare to rush in. When the wolves come out at night, the momentum is even greater.

Just around dusk today, the wolves suddenly appeared. They attacked the Lin family's flock, killing and injuring hundreds of sheep. Fortunately, the disciples of the Lin family reacted quickly, and they immediately took out bows and arrows, knives and forks to resist, and finally retreated the wolves. When the wolves retreated to the Wild Wolf Valley, they just caught up with Huang Shalang and Zhu Huang, Bo Bei and other horse thieves to besiege Huo Qing and the others, they were all red-eyed, and they immediately pounced, which could be regarded as giving Huo Qing and the others a chance to take advantage of.

Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. I'm afraid they've already let the horse thieves kill them all.

Huo Qing asked, "Doesn't the wolves usually appear at night, why did they appear at dusk today?"

Lin Kuotai smiled bitterly: "The wolf has no food, and he can do anything." ”

For this kind of thing, Huo Qing could only shake his head and smile bitterly, this is the food chain!

The wild goats eat grass, and when the grass is gone, the herdsmen shoot the wild goats. When the wild goats were scarce and the wolves had nothing to eat, they came to attack the herdsmen's flocks. People, always at the top of the food chain, are just thinking about the wolf attacking the flock, but they don't think about why the wolf did it.

In fact, the people who really hunt wolves are those foreign hunters, and there are some nomadic herders, and herdsmen like Lin Kotai will not hunt wolves. For example, this time, the wolves attacked the sheep, and the disciples of the Lin family only drove them away, and did not chase after them.

Whoever wants to live!

Huo Qing asked, "Those horses all collapsed on the ground, some were bitten, some were not injured and did not move, what is going on?"

Lin Xiongzi said angrily: "This is all a good thing done by the Balut banner people." They poisoned the water of the upper reaches of the Burhatong River and poisoned all our horses. ”

"What?"

"Yes, our horses are poisoned. ”

Lin Kuotai glanced at these Arabel Banner clansmen, and said in a deep voice: "Now, we are going to wash the Balut Banner in blood and let them pay for their blood debts. ”

This made Huo Qing a little confused, according to what Lin Ying'er said, the Balut Banner, the Arabel Banner, and the Urat Banner all relied on the Burhatong River to live and graze, and they had already signed an alliance with each other to help each other and not invade each other. Now, how could the Barut Banner suddenly be against Arabel's banner? Also, it was too strange to poison the water in this way, and to poison the horses one by one, and the people were all right.

Standing beside Lin Kuotai, a middle-aged man with a handful of beard shouted: "What else can it be? The people of the Balut Banner said that we had encroached on their pastures, which was too hateful. ”

"Oh, what about the Urad Banner downstream, have their horses been poisoned too?"

"I don't know yet, but the two people sent later, they will know when they come back. Big brother, I think we should have attacked the Barut Banner immediately. When they have precautions, it will be difficult for us to do it again. ”

The middleman with a handful of beards is Lin Kuotai's cousin Lin Kuoping, who is also the number one person in Alabelqi.

Lin Kuotai nodded and shouted, "Okay, big guy, listen to me......"

These tribesmen of the Alabel Banner all carried bows and arrows on their backs, and Qingmeng knives were stuck in their waists, full of momentum. But they didn't even have a horse. How can you go to war like this? Huo Qing asked, "Patriarch Lin, how long does it take to get from us to the Balute Banner?"

"If you ride a horse, it's an hour. ”

"What if it's on foot?"

"On foot?"

Lin Kuotai was stunned, and Lin Kuoping snorted: "The people of the Balute Banner would definitely not have thought that we would have no horses, and we would run to sneak attack them." This is just an opportunity for us. ”

Huo Qing couldn't laugh or cry a little: "Running all the way to the Balut Banner like this, one by one is already tired, how can you fight? In case, the people of the Balute Banner have taken precautions in advance, and they are waiting for you there on horses." Then you are not going to attack, but to die. ”
