The charm of the Turkic girl was indeed extraordinary. With the appearance of the golden blade, the Ejin Empire and Har Helin tribes had all come out. Yu Jia's rallying power was beyond everyone's imagination.
Thinking of what he saw last night, Lin Wanrong sternly said, "Brother Hu Bugui, you're experienced and knowledgeable. Tell me, if a Turkic person has a golden wolf tattoo, what does that mean?"
"Golden wolf tattoo?!" Hu Bugui thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head with a frown. "According to what I know, the leaders of the Hu tribes or those who have made great contributions like to have wolf tattoos carved on their bodies. That position is on the chest, back, wrist, and even on the forehead, representing ferocity and supremacy. In these years of fighting with the Hu, I've seen green wolves, gray wolves, and black wolves, but I've never seen a golden wolf tattoo. "
The golden wolf tattoo on Yu Jia's chest was naturally incomparable to the green wolves and gray wolves. It was a symbol of a higher status, which was similar to what Lin Wanrong had guessed. But Yu Jia's true identity was still a mystery. Fortunately, the road to the Turkic imperial court was long, and he had ample time to unearth the secrets of the Turkic girl.
Old Hu Bugui said in a low voice, "Who cares if it's a black wolf or a golden wolf, we'll just get rid of it. Brother Lin, the Ejin Empire and Har Helin tribes have all left, heading straight for the place where we camped last night. That tribe is very empty, should we act now?! "
"Don't worry." Lin Wanrong lightly waved his hand. "Wait until they've really gone far away, and the scouts have reported back, then we can act. Brother Hu Bugui, pass down the order, the army will continue to travel deeper into the grasslands. Without my order, no one is allowed to stop. "
"Yes sir!" Hu Bugui nodded, hurriedly making arrangements.
He buried all traces of last night's campfire, cooking, and setting up tents. Once there were no longer any flaws, Lin Wanrong waved his hand. The five thousand soldiers galloped into the depths of the grasslands.
The deeper they went, the more they felt the vastness and vastness of the grasslands. As far as the eye could see, there were blue skies and white clouds, fragrant flowers and green grass. It made people uncontrollably feel refreshed and carefree. Walking between heaven and earth. Humans were so small and weak, like a drop in the ocean.
Gazing at the distant sky and earth, he suddenly remembered what Sister An had said last night: "This grassland is our paradise." The words still rang in his ears. But the beautiful woman was nowhere to be found. His eyes couldn't help but moisten. No one knew what year and month it was. Only then would he be able to tour this grassland paradise with Sister An.
Although they were on the march, scouts were continuously sent out. Every two hours, there would be a report on the movements of the Frontal and Ha Tribes, and the Hu scouts were also expanding their search area. They were looking for the whereabouts of the China people. Unfortunately, Lin Wanrong went around Ha Er Helin. As they advanced deeper into the steppe, they actually took a winding path, heading in the opposite direction of the Turks. This was something the Hu had never imagined.
"Big Brother Hu. How far are we from Har Har Forest now? "After rushing for six hours in one go, it was already late afternoon before they could rest. Noon in early spring. The sun shone directly on the grassland. It was warm. After rushing all the way, the soldiers were already drenched in sweat. Their faces were flushed red. On the other hand, Lin Wanrong's expression was normal. The clothes that Sister An had made for him were made of some unknown material. It was refreshing and breathable. After traveling for such a long time, he didn't even sweat.
Old Hu touched his forehead and shook off the beads of sweat that had been dyed black. Panting heavily, he said, "About two hundred li away. Based on the speed of the Hu, they should be 300 li away from Ha Er Helin. "
"Alright." Lin Wanrong nodded: "Big Brother Hu, instruct all the brothers to stop advancing and rest here. Also, remind them that we are currently deep in the grassland. We are only 400 li away from the Scarlet Pagoda. There is a high chance that there are Hu scouts in the surroundings. We have to increase our vigilance. No one is allowed to make a ruckus or start a fire to cook. We are only allowed to drink water, eat rations, and rest here. "
Gao Qiu looked at the surroundings. The terrain was wide and flat, making it difficult to set up a hidden sentry post. It was perfect for a cavalry charge. He shook his head in confusion: "Brother Lin. There is still an hour before nightfall, why are we setting up camp now?! Are we going to spend the night here?! "
Lin Wanrong shook his head and did not speak. He raised his head and looked into the distance. That direction was where Ha Er Helin was. Hu Bugui thought for a moment and said softly: "General, are we going to make a detour tonight?!"
Lin Wanrong sighed: "Time waits for no man. We can't wait for Miss Xu's news now. No matter what happens in the Helan Mountains, we must go to the Turkic Imperial Court. Even if we leave only a footprint, it will be the footprint of our China people. This is the deepest shock to the Hu. They will no longer dare to underestimate us. Big Brother Hu, this may be a road of no return. Are you afraid?! "
Old Hu was stunned for a moment before laughing loudly: "Why would I be afraid!! To be able to kill our way to the Hu's lair is the dream of every China soldier. Even if I die, I will die with a smile! "
Lin Wanrong looked at Gao Qiu who was beside him: "Big Brother Gao, what about you?!"
"Do you still need to ask?!" Gao Qiu grinned and said, "Ever since I started following you, Brother Lin, I've been fighting happily and killing happily. Where else can I find such a wonderful thing? It's good to go to the Turkic Imperial Court. I can also kidnap two women, one for Old Hu and one for me! Even if I die, I will die on the bellies of the Turkic women. "
Lin Wanrong laughed and looked into the distance: "Big Brother Hu, Big Brother Gao, don't talk about life and death so easily. We still have many things to enjoy. I have Qing Xuan, Qiaoqiao, and Xian 'er waiting for me at home. There is the lonely Fairy Ning on Qianjue Peak. There is also Sister An who is like a fox in the Miao village. I promised her that I will brave the Miao village and visit the grassland paradise with her. So, we must not die, we must not die! All of us must come back alive. "
He clenched his fists tightly and let out a long sigh, as if to encourage everyone. His firm tone was as hard as a rock. Hu Bugui and Gao Qiu were influenced by him, they clasped their hands tightly together: "We must come back alive!"
Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "Good. Pass down the order that the entire army rest and reorganize, feed the warhorses, check their weapons, prepare water and dry rations. We will set off at sunset.
This decision was silently passed down, and the crowd suddenly fell into a solemn silence. All the soldiers understood that tonight's battle was a new beginning, and there was a more brutal journey ahead of them. No one flinched or was afraid, they were even slightly excited and looking forward to it. Since the moment they entered the grassland, life and death was no longer a problem for them to consider.
Lin Wanrong patrolled the troops, carefully checking the equipment and supplies of each soldier, not daring to slack off. After tonight's battle, they did not know when the next round of replenishment would be. One more bit of preparation meant one more bit of hope.
When he returned to his horse's side, he saw that the Turkic girl was tightly bound, her long black hair cascading down her back, obscuring her beautiful face. Yu Jia quietly lay there, motionless. Her ample breasts rose and fell, drawing beautiful waves in the air.
"Young Lady Yu Jia, did you sleep well last night?!" Lin Wanrong untied her and placed her down on the horse, a faint smile on his lips.
Yu Jia had been bound for so long that her blood circulation was not smooth. The moment she landed, her legs began to tremble uncontrollably and she fell limply to the ground.
Lin Wanrong went to help her up, but the Turkic girl raised her hand and slapped it away. Yu Jia clenched her teeth, her body trembling as she stubbornly held onto the back of her horse. As she slowly steadied herself, she silently raised her head, an unyielding flame flickering in her eyes.
Lin Wanrong glanced at her in shock. In just a single night, the girl seemed to have lost a great deal of weight, her bright red lips slightly pale, and there was not the slightest smile on her jade-like face. Only the blazing flame in her light blue eyes proved that this was still the living Yu Jia!
Even though they were enemies, from a personality perspective, this tenacious girl was truly worthy of respect. Lin Wanrong silently sighed.
The Turkic girl coldly stared at him. "What do you want to say to me, Chinese? Have you not insulted me enough?! "
Yu Jia's clothes had already been torn apart by An Biru, and she was wearing an old set of clothes that Lin Wanrong had worn. It was long and loose, wrapping around her beautiful body and giving off a unique aura.
"Young Lady Yu Jia, perhaps you have never understood that you are a captive." Lin Wanrong indifferently said, "Think about what would have happened to my compatriots if they had fallen into the hands of you Turks! Look at your current state. Perhaps, you should really thank the Goddess of the Prairie. She has blessed you and kept you intact until now! "
The bandit's eyes were as cold as ice, and a disdainful sneer appeared on his dark face. He had a lofty and inviolable feeling. Yu Jia was dazed for a moment, then she hurriedly shook her head and angrily said, "Don't flatter yourself. You only kept me because you wanted to use me. Do you think I don't know?"
Lin Wanrong giggled. "Little sister, your intelligence is not just for show. No wonder Big Sister An praised you so much!"
At the mention of that strange fox-like woman, Yu Jia's face was instantly filled with pain. She clenched her fists as if to cheer herself up. She muttered to herself, "I am not afraid of her, I am not afraid of her. I must defeat her!"
Lin Wanrong smiled. Big Sister An's methods were not only effective against me, but also against this crescent moon.
Hearing him laugh, Yu Jia angrily glared at him. The two bright lipstick marks on the bandit's dark face were so eye-catching that they looked like two blooming flowers. She gritted her teeth, turned her head, and sneered, "Where is your master sister? Is she gone? Weren't you so happy last night? You were dumped, yet you are still so happy. It is rare to see a spineless Chinese in this world!! "
"You are poking at my sore spot again. Be careful that I don't tear your clothes!" Lin Wanrong laughed strangely and made a grabbing motion.
The Turk girl screamed and tightly hugged her chest. Her face was as pale as paper as if she was recalling the events of last night. She and Lin Wanrong both had a deep understanding of Big Sister An's violent methods.
Lin Wanrong sighed and said, "As the saying goes, if two people love each other for a long time, why would they be touching and grabbing each other day and night? My love for Big Sister An is like drinking water. Only you know how hot or cold it is. You are an outsider, so how can you understand?! — Forget it, I am not going to discuss these inappropriate things with you. Little Sister Crescent Moon, I have a piece of great news for you … "
He smiled cunningly and made a big circle with his hands. Yu Jia was shocked and asked, "What, what good news?!"
Lin Wanrong smiled coquettishly and said, "I have chosen many strong warriors for you, including Er Jin Na and Ha Er Helin. They are all strong and strong like wolves. They will come to meet you soon … "
Yu Jia was extremely smart. Hearing this, she was both anxious and shocked, "You, you used my golden blade?! Despicable Chinese! Old Wo, I hate you, just kill me! "
The Turkic girl couldn't help but weep, her tears falling like rain. Her sorrowful appearance made it seem like this golden saber was her life.
Isn't it just a broken blade? Only you Turks would treat it like a treasure. Lin Wanrong disdainfully curled his lips.
The setting sun was like blood, dyeing the grassland and blue sky a lonely red. Hu Bugui rushed over and said in a low voice, "General, it's about time."
Lin Wanrong indifferently replied, "Tell everyone to discard all their belongings and only bring weapons and rations. Our target is Ha Er Helin. Let's go!"
"Let's go!" Hu Bugui waved his hand and the five thousand soldiers cracked their whips. The clattering of hooves was like thunder in spring, raising a cloud of dust. Reflecting the bright setting sun, they slowly disappeared into the horizon.
"You, where are you going?!" Yu Jia was thrown onto the back of the horse, crying as she asked.
Lin Wanrong mounted the horse and said with a faint smile, "To a mysterious place. Perhaps, it is what you have been waiting for!"
