Chapter 452: The Ownerless Northern Regions

Shang Zhengyu on horseback groaned: "I understand, I see that those people are bent on robbing cattle and sheep but do not kill innocent people, so you judge that these people are Xiao Mengge's subordinates." ”

Wan Yanjing nodded and continued: "Originally, these two people were in the depths of the Northern Regions, and they rarely came close to Yunzhou. But since it suddenly appeared here at this moment, I think it should be because the Yu tribe migrated in a big way under the orders of the Heavenly Khan, causing them to follow south. However, since Brother Xiao Meng has gone south, it must be the same for Wu Qi. We have to be careful going forward. ”

"Well, you're right. ”

Shang Zhengyu's eyes sank a little again, in addition to beware of the captive tribe that may appear at any time, he also had to beware of Xiao Mengge and Wuqi's horse bandits, which was really a disaster.

What surprised Shang Zhengyu was that the three people who went north along the road when the Eagle King came actually saw the relics of the Great War no less than three times along the way, it seems that the Eagle King's way to the south has not been very peaceful, and it is definitely not the first time he has been attacked by Xiao Meng Ge in the Jialou Mountains before, no wonder he will leave in such a hurry after the battle.

However, in the face of the battlefield relics seen recently, even Shang Zhengyu, who had already experienced the Langfu War, couldn't help frowning.

There are not many corpses left in the previous battles, and the footsteps of war horses and cattle and sheep are mixed, obviously coming straight to cattle, sheep and horses, which is quite consistent with the methods of Xiao Meng Ge that everyone saw before. But this battlefield remains are completely different from the previous ones!

The charred remains of the tent littered everywhere and spread to a large surrounding lawn. If it weren't for the blizzard, I'm afraid I don't know where the fire would spread. The corpses were also not buried and piled up on both sides of the road and eaten by the vultures in the sky, which was not wrong, but there were too many of them, much more than the three battlefield ruins that Shang Zhengyu had seen before, and most of them were men, children and the elderly, and there were very few women!

This should not be the Eagle King's tribe but a small tribe, but judging from the number of corpses and the cruelty of the means, this group is probably the whole clan has suffered.

"Wuqi, there will be no mistake. ”

Even Wan Yan Jing, who has experienced a hundred battles, couldn't help but shudder, she had heard of Wu Qi's murderous name since she was a child, and the family Wan Yan tribe had fought with Wu Qi. If it weren't for the great loss of the Wanyan family's strength after that war, they would not have willingly belonged to the Wolf King, you must know that the Wanyan family at that time also had a king given by the Heavenly Khan, and in its heyday, it was a little stronger than the Eagle King.

Shang Zhengyu turned over his horse, looked around at the large area of scorched and withered grass that had been covered by heavy snow, and frowned: "Let's continue to the north, Zi abandon, you and I will take turns to investigate, and we must not have the slightest slack." ”

............

The further north he went, the thicker the snow became, and the heavier Shang Zhengyu's mood became.

There are more and more such battlefield relics, and it seems that the activities of Wuqi in this area are becoming more and more frequent, and just yesterday, Shang Zhengyu and the three of them also witnessed a human tragedy. The fire that burst into the sky could not be covered even by the snow, and the scorching stench in the air could be smelled from ten miles away, and the cries of women and children and the unbridled laughter of those cold-blooded butchers hung into the ears of Shang Zhengyu and the others along the wind, and they could not stop for a long time.

Shang Zhengyu saw the opportunity, and the three of them went out to attack a squad of more than a dozen people. They were responsible for escorting the last batch of women, cattle and sheep away, and in the case of calculating or unintentional, Shang Zhengyu and the three of them killed these people in just a short tea time, leaving only a big man who looked like a captain fainted on the ground and waited to be forced to ask for a confession.

After saving these two dozen women, at first they were a little cautious and even scared after seeing Shang Zhengyu's Central Plains face, but after Yan Jing revealed the lineup, these people quickly settled down. Wan Yanjing's appearance and demeanor show that she was born in a famous family, and it is not uncommon for a few Han people to be slaves among such clansmen.

That's right, Shang Zhengyu was treated as a slave of Wan Yanjing!

Shang Zhengyu also saw the change in the way these women looked at him, and after a slight smile, he ignored it, handed over all the negotiations to Wan Yanjing, and went with the captain of the thief who was directly interrogated.

Sure enough, this person took the initiative to admit that he was Wu Qi's subordinate, but to Shang Zhengyu's surprise, this person actually asked Shang Zhengyu to let go of him immediately after being tied up, and tied himself back by him, otherwise in her words: Lord Wu Qi blamed the whole grassland and trembled!

There was no need for Shang Zhengyu to make a move, Zi Qi took the initiative to ask for help, and after crushing the joints of this person's body, he also carefully cut the meridians of his left and right hands, and at the same time did not let him die soon. Now that the night is deep, it is the time when the steppe wolves come out to feed, and the smell of blood is definitely an irresistible temptation for the steppe wolves who have been hungry in the snow for an unknown amount of time!

The reason why this is so is because when this person looked at Yan Jing, Yanzhong actually revealed Chiguoguo's lewdness!

Faced with the wails and curses behind them, the three of them didn't care. The three of them gathered some dry food and slaughtered a few sheep, skinned them, hung them on horseback and dried them as food reserves, and then went straight on the road, leaving the rest of the cattle and sheep to the women.

"Sure enough, it was Wu Qi's doing, and from the mouths of these women, I learned that their tribe only got the news that they needed to move south to Yunzhou at a very late age. In my opinion, these are all deliberate actions of the Dragon King, in order to use these small tribes to distract the attention of Xiao Meng Ge and Wu Qi behind him and ensure himself

The clans under the core can be the first to enter Yunzhou at the lowest cost. In other words, these small tribes that are still struggling in the Northern Regions are just outcasts in the hands of the Dragon King. ”

Shang Zhengyu's assertion made Wan Yanjing silent for a while, although she hated the wolf king, but the northern region was the place where she was born and raised after all, there were inseparable feelings, and the dragon king was also highly respected in her heart, she really couldn't accept such a dragon king, but the facts were in front of her, so she could only choose to be silent.

Ziqi didn't know what to say, but silently walked side by side with Wan Yanjing and clenched her cold hands. Feeling the temperature of her palms, Wan Yanjing smiled at Ziqi, obviously better.

On the way back, Wan Yanjing has become the protagonist. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Shang Zhengyu asked Wan Yanjing to take off her mask, and he and Ziqi pretended to be Wan Yanjing's followers. Tribes ranging from more than 100 people to thousands of tribes, sometimes to find out the news, sometimes to seek supplies, but they have never encountered any difficulties.

The tribes left in the northern region were all abandoned by the Heavenly Khan, and the only way to survive the ice age was to huddle together for warmth. Therefore, this grassland is not large, but there are more than a dozen tribes gathered here, and the Wujiang City where the three of them are now located is the center of these tribes. It's not that they don't want to go south to Yunzhou, but once they leave here, they will enter the Wuqi sphere of influence, and they can't afford that consequence.

Wan Yan Jing's noble speech and demeanor made him become a sweet and sweet in front of these clan patriarchs, and some people even deliberately wanted to match the young heroes in the clan with Wan Yan Jing, leaving Shang Zhengyu speechless for a while.

However, the thoughts of these patriarchs are understandable, they have already understood that these people who stayed in the Northern Regions have been abandoned by the Dragon King, that is, their Heavenly Khan, in their opinion, Wan Yan Jing's clan must be a big clan that has been allowed to enter Yunzhou, and they all hope to let their clansmen also obtain this qualification through Wan Yan Jing's relationship.

Wan Yanjing knows all this, and she is not shy about those pursuits, but Ziqi is not like this. The three of them have been in this Wujiang City for four days, and all the supplies have been prepared, but they have not been able to leave for a long time, because the son of the city lord of Wujiang City has been pestering Wan Yanjing.

This is already the fifth day, and Shang Zhengyu plans to leave no matter what, but as soon as he goes out, a luxurious carriage will come to him, which immediately makes Shang Zhengyu's face frown. The same is true for Wan Yan Jing and Zi Qi, especially Zi Qi, a faint murderous aura has turned into an invisible aura that spreads irrepressibly to the surroundings, if it weren't for Shang Zhengyu's sensitive sense, he immediately neutralized Zi Qi's killing intent with three momentum, and the three of them would have been exposed.

The carriage was getting closer and closer, and the killing intent in Ziqi's eyes was getting stronger and stronger.
