Early the next morning, the brigade continued to hurry, because the climate in the mountains was better, and after resting for the night, the spirit of the army was relatively full, so the speed of walking was faster, and in the morning, it walked out of a distance of nearly forty miles, and it was only more than twenty miles away from the station of the Bailing tribe. But I still didn't meet anyone who answered. Not only that, there were two peripheral garrisons of the White Spirit Clan along the way, but no one was stationed, and according to the observation of the plateau, the people from these two garrisons had left not long ago, at most one or two days.

Feng Hao and Yun Jing were both puzzled, even Gao Yuan felt that something was wrong, after all, when they arrived here, they were already very close to the station of the White Spirit Clan, and it was said that they should also send someone to pick them up, and there was no one stationed at even the two peripheral stations, so it seemed that something might have happened inside the White Spirit Clan. Therefore, during the lunch break, Feng Hao and Yun Jing sent two more clansmen to rush back to the station to report the news.

After lunch, the group continued to advance, this time only four or five miles away, only to see the dust behind the hill ahead, apparently someone had come. Feng Hao and Yun Jing also breathed a sigh of relief, finally the clan sent someone to arrive, so they could ask what happened in the clan, after all, it had been almost a year since they left the Bailing Clan.

But Gao Yuan saw that the situation was not right, because judging from the dust raised, the number of people and horses who came was estimated to be about two or three thousand, if it was just to pick up his own party, there was no need to use so many people, even if he wanted to make the welcoming ceremony a little grander, but he should also send someone to report in advance, such as leaving a few people in the outer station, and give himself a voice first, instead of driving the whole team of people and horses over at once, so it is easy to cause misunderstanding.

However, Gao Yuan looked at the army, the whole team had stopped, although there was no formation to prepare for battle, but they were all vigilant, the infantry had already dismounted, once an accident occurred, they could be put into battle at any time, so Gao Yuan was also relatively satisfied.

After the men and horses gradually approached, they stopped at a distance of about five hundred paces, Feng Hao and Yun Jing also saw that the situation was not right, because all the people who came were cavalry, and everyone was wearing leather armor and holding spears in their hands, they knew that such a team was definitely not here to greet them, but to go out to fight. The iron smelting technology of the Bailing tribe is not high, so there are not many iron and bronze products in the tribe, and the general metal is used to make weapons, and there is no bronze armor, and the soldiers are wearing leather armor to fight.

Feng Hao and Yun Jing also ignored it, and didn't understand why the clan would make such an arrangement, but it was not easy to say it to Gao Yuan, so Feng Hao had no choice but to say to Gao Yuan: "Wu Anjun, please wait here for a while, let's go over and take a look first." ”

Although the two of them didn't say anything, there was a look of surprise on their faces, but Gao Yuan didn't say anything, his face was still normal, and he said, "Please take care of yourself." ”

Feng Hao and Yun Jing didn't have time to say anything, and came up with more than a dozen clansmen. At this time, Ling Feng rode his horse to the side of the plateau and said, "Lord, something is wrong, these people seem to be hostile to us. ”

Now Ling Feng is a person who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and his intuition and judgment are very sensitive to strange troops, and he instinctively senses that the other party's army is hostile to him, but the other party is a person from the White Spirit Clan, and he does not dare to act rashly, so he rushed to report to the plateau.

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Let everyone be careful and not careless, just in case." ”

Ling Feng said: "If it weren't for the array. ”

Gao Yuan said: "Don't use it for the time being, just be on guard, let the cavalry spread out a little more on both sides, and if they advance another hundred steps, they will immediately line up." ”

Ling Feng agreed, and immediately rode away to make arrangements. The cavalry was ordered to concentrate and scatter on the left and right, and although the infantry army did not set up a formation, they gathered all the horses and distributed them around the vehicles, and once they fought, they could rely on the vehicles to fight. And Gao Yuan rode a horse to the side of the women's army, and said to Han Xiuwan and Wu Hongling: "Sister-in-law Jiang, Hong Aya, the current situation is a little wrong, be careful and protect Ah Yao and the people of the Bai Ling clan." ”

The transfer of people and horses had already attracted Han Xiuwan's attention, so after hearing Gao Yuan's words, Han Xiuwan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, we will be careful." ”

At this time, Yun Yao asked in the car, "Husband, what happened?" ”

Gao Yuan said: "It's hard to say anything, in short, it's better to be careful, don't worry." He turned his head and looked at Chunyu Zhongxiu again, and said, "Please be careful with Chunyu girl." ”

Chunyu Zhongxiu smiled slightly and said, "Please rest assured Wu Anjun, I will do my best to protect Mrs. A-Yao." ”

Just as they were talking, Feng Hao and Yun Jing rushed to the opposite array, only to see a few people from the opposite array, saluting them, and then talking, but after talking for a while, I saw Feng Hao and Yun Jing's gestures swinging, looking very excited, and the people on the opposite side were still respectful, and their attitude was relatively gentle, but the distance was too far, and Gao Yuan couldn't hear the content of their conversation clearly.

After a while, Feng Hao and Yun Jing's relationship also calmed down, and the two sides talked for a while, Feng Hao and Yun Jing seemed to be a little annoyed, but they forcibly suppressed it, and the other party's attitude, although humble, seemed to be very firm. All kinds of changes also make the plateau look very strange.

After about twenty minutes, Feng Hao and Yun Jing finally turned around, and the person who was talking to them also walked towards this side with them, and it seemed that nothing should happen, so Gao Yuan also rode his horse to the front of the queue to welcome them back.

When there were about fifty steps away from the Dai Jun array, the Bailing people who turned back with Feng Hao and Yun Jing rode their horses to stop, and Feng Hao and Yun Jing and the others returned straight to the side, and after seeing the plateau, Feng Hao said: "Wu Anjun, a major incident happened in our Bailing Clan, just while we were out, the great master of the clan died. ”

Gao Yuan listened to this, and couldn't help but be surprised, because of the understanding of this time, Gao Yuan knew that in the Bai Ling Clan, the Great Zhu Master had supreme power, and this time it was the Great Zhu Master who invited him to come to the Bai Ling Clan with Yun Yao, but he didn't expect that the Great Zhu Shi actually died. Of course, the Great Zhushi is also an ordinary person, and naturally there are births, old age, sickness and death, and the current Great Zhushi of the Bai Ling Clan is also an old man who is more than eighty years old, so death is not an accident, and these somewhat abnormal actions of the Bai Ling Clan are also reasonable, after all, the death of the leader, no matter which tribe, will be cautious and careful. But when Da Zhushi died at this time, Gao Yuan could feel that there was something strange.

However, Gao Yuan remained silent and said, "I see, may I ask the two of you, has a new Great Zhu Master been elected in the Bailing Clan now?" ”

Yun Jing said: "It has been selected, it is Fengyi." ”

Gao Yuan knows that there are only six Zhushi in the Bailing clan now, in addition to Feng Hao and Yun Jing, there is also a couple of Zhushi, that is, Feng Yi and Yun Qi; Feng Hao and Yun Jing gave birth to two sons and two daughters, but none of them reached the ability of Zhu Shi, and there were only two Zhu Shi of the younger generation, Feng Yi and Yun Qi's second son, Feng Yang, and another young man, Feng Yue, were born to an ordinary Bai Ling couple.

Because now the young generation of the Bailing clan is all male, and there are no female young celebrants, so the Bailing clan is facing the danger of the fault line of the celebrants, although theoretically speaking, even if it is an ordinary Bailing people, it is possible to give birth to the possibility of new male and female celebrants, but between male and female celebrants, the second generation that has been born is much more likely to become male and female celebrants.

At the beginning, Gao Yuan suspected that the Bai Ling clan was anxious to invite Yun Yao back, just to let her marry the young Zhu Shi of the Bai Ling Clan, so as to give birth to a new generation of Zhu Shi, if it were not for Feng Hao and Yun Jing's repeated assurances, the Great Zhu Shi had promised that Yun Yao was a member of the Bai Ling clan who grew up outside the clan, and there was no need to respect the custom of the Bai Ling clan not to marry with foreigners, and it was another important thing to ask Yun Yao to go back, plus the Bai Ling clan did have a close relationship with the legend of the Yellow Emperor's battle with Chi You, Gao Yuan would never let Yun Yao come to the Bai Ling clan.

But now that the Great Master who made the promise has passed away, regardless of whether there is any doubt about the death of the Great Master, it is uncertain whether the new Master will still be able to honor this promise.

Therefore, Gao Yuan thought for a while, and said: "Did anyone say that what was the cause of the death of the Great Zhushi?" ”

Feng Hao said: "Ju said that he died of aging, and there is no special reason. ”

Gao Yuan said: "How is the health of the Great Wishing Master?" ”

Yun Jing said: "It's always been very good. ”

Feng Hao glanced at her and said, "Although the body of the Great Zhu Master has always been good, after all, he is also an old man over eighty years old, so even if he dies of aging, it is not an accident." ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said: "As far as I know, the Great Zhu Master can only be selected among the Zhu Shi, so the previous Great Zhu Shi died, and it stands to reason that both of them are qualified to serve as the Great Zhu Master, but the Bai Ling Clan has already selected a new Great Zhu Master without waiting for the two to return, which is not an illegal basis." ”

Feng Hao shook his head and said: "The Great Wisher is dead, and it is impossible for the clan to be without an owner for a day, so it is reasonable to elect a new Great Wisher without waiting for us to return, and according to the people who came, this is the last wish of the Great Wisher before his death, which is completely in line with the rules of the clan." ”

Yun Jing frowned and said, "The last life of the Great Zhu Master is just their one-sided words, and we haven't seen it, not to mention that before we set off, the Great Zhu Master was ......."

But Feng Hao didn't wait for her to finish, then interrupted her and said, "Didn't I say it just now?" The Great Wisher died, and it is impossible for the clan to be without an owner for a day, so it is not impossible for the Great Wisher to let Feng Yi succeed to the throne, and you also know that even if we are in the clan, the Great Wisher will not pass on the position to us, not to mention the deathbed of the Great Wisher, they will definitely not be brought out, and when they return to the clan, won't they be able to see it? ”

Although Yun Jing still wanted to fight, she couldn't find anything to say for a while, so she had to stop speaking.
