The black horse finally moved, and under the instructions of its master, it walked arrogantly among the herdsmen.Brother Chun suddenly stepped forward to stand in front of Zhuo Yue, and bared his teeth at the black horse hostilely.But that horse must have been used to the battlefield, so it was not afraid of wolves. It glanced at Brother Chun and raised its head.

The man on the horse flicked the rein and jumped off the horse calmly.His legs were long and straight, and his movements were extremely graceful and beautiful, and his rich cloak was slightly lifted like rolling clouds.

As expected, he was tall and tall, and his figure was also extremely tall and straight. Standing among the distressed herdsmen, he looked like a majestic king.Under the direct gaze of the crowd, he walked up to Zhuo Yue calmly, raised his hand and gently placed the whip on Zhuo Yue's side cheek.

Zhuo Yue clenched his fists and looked back at him motionlessly. When he slowly inhaled, he trembled because of the tension all over his body.

"I didn't expect that." He smiled lowly.

Zhuo Yue opened his mouth to speak, but his lips were pressed against the whip.

Those green eyes were still staring at Zhuo Yue closely, but his voice raised slightly: "Who allowed you to leave?"

Lou Chuyun stared blankly, and it took a while to realize that he was talking to himself: "We—"

"Everything that enters the Dari'achi Grassland belongs to our tribe."

The rough whip brushed against Zhuo Yue's lips lightly, half ambiguously half humorous.Zhuo Yue frowned slightly, and was about to wave his hand to open the whip, but he pulled his hand first.

"Take them all away." He waved his hand lazily, turned and walked towards his horse.The rest of the cavalry responded in unison, dismounted immediately and began to plunder people.

The herdsmen just came out of the wolf's mouth and into the tiger's den, screaming and crying in collapse, and the scene immediately became chaotic again.

Lou Chuiyun protected a trembling mother and daughter, and said angrily: "Zhuo Yue!"

Zhuo Yue gritted his teeth, strode forward and grabbed the back edge of the cloak.The man stopped in his footsteps, then turned his head and glanced at him with a half-smile.

The fire light shone on his profile, reflecting the familiar but somewhat unfamiliar facial features.His brows and eyes are still deep, his facial features are still gorgeous, and even the corners of his beautifully shaped lips still maintain the curvature of a slight smile.

But he has also changed.

His long jet-black hair was no longer tied high behind his head, but was let loose, and several five-color beads were dotted on the braids.What he was wearing was no longer a sharp and sharp military uniform, but a luxurious animal skin cloak, with snow-white animal hair clustered on both sides of his slashed chin at the collar.His tall figure stood against the light. Wearing this suit, he no longer looked like the little soldier who rushed to kill in the mud and blood.

What's more important is the look in his eyes.

Casual, cool, light and airy.Like a wisp of ethereal smoke that rises after the flames are extinguished.

There is no longer the half-focused look of the past.

Standing in front of him was a prairie man, the prince of Dari Achi.

But not his Li Changxing.

Zhuo Yue felt his foot stepping into the icy abyss, and his whole body shivered slightly from the cold.

Li Changxing raised his eyebrows slightly: "What else?"

"Let them go." Zhuo Yue squeezed out a sentence through his teeth, "...I'll go back with you."

Li Changxing suddenly laughed lowly, and Zhuo Yue's whole body turned cold from his laughter.

"Brother Zhuo, you haven't changed." He smiled lowly and raised his hand, pinching Zhuo Yue's earlobe very narrowly, "It's just that what I want is this batch of goods and people, and I can't go back with you and me." , what does it matter?"

Zhuo Yue froze.

Li Changxing didn't look at him again, turned around and mounted his horse, whistled and left first.

Lou Chuiyun rushed over, grabbed Zhuo Yue and said in a low voice, "Is that him?"

Zhuo Yue nodded slowly.

"Really?" Lou Chuiyun took a deep breath, puzzled, "But he doesn't look like a Central Plains person at all? It's so strange, a person with such an aura has always been dumbfounded." In the army, I didn't have the slightest impression of him."

Zhuo Yue twitched the corner of his mouth.

The ridiculous thing is that Li Changxing, who doesn't look half like a Central Plains man now, didn't look like a grassland man at all before.

Zhuo Yue still remembered that when they met for the first time, the child was thin, with a pretty face and black hair, and he looked like a child from the Central Plains except for a pair of strange-colored eyes.In addition, he has always been obedient and low-key, and he is friendly to others, which makes him look even less like an arrogant and rough prairie man.

But now, like a tiger returning to the mountain and a fish in the abyss, the disguise that Li Changxing used to hide his identity burst apart, revealing his true appearance.

Casual yet arrogant.Standing at random, it seems that there is no dust under the eyes.

A person can have such earth-shaking changes, should he be praised for his variety, or should he be said to be too scheming.

Zhuo Yue let out a sigh of relief, unwilling to think about it, turned around to comfort the herdsmen: "It's okay, they shouldn't make things difficult for you."

The herdsmen were still in shock, and tremblingly let the Dari'achi cavalry drive them away and took away their goods.

Lou Chuyun came over: "How do you know they won't embarrass these herdsmen?"

Zhuo Yue didn't say a word.

"You don't think the little prince will show mercy to them for your sake, do you?" Lou Chuiyun tutted, "I don't think he is a merciful and nostalgic master. You see, he also sees you. There is no joyful expression. Is there still time to run away now?"

Zhuo Yue gave him a cold look, then followed the team in front of him with big strides.

----

The cavalry drove a group of herdsmen to stop and go, and it was already dawn when they arrived at Dari'achi's tribe.The morning sun of black and gold shines on the stretching white tents, like shining pearls scattered in the middle of the grassland.

"Wow--"

Lou Chuiyun walked for most of the night, but he didn't look tired at all. At this time, he set up the gazebo and looked into the distance, his face full of excitement.

"So the settlement of the nomads is so big? I thought they all slept in the carriage and could pack up and leave at any time."

Zhuo Yue was exhausted from staying up all night, and he really admired his vigorous energy: "Dari'achi is the overlord of the grassland in the southwest, how is it possible that he doesn't even have a fixed settlement... Have you ever been to the grassland? How do you know? Not as much as me?"

At that time, Lou Changfeng assured him that although his little brother seemed unreliable, he was well-informed and quick-witted because he was wandering outside all day, so he was the most suitable to accompany him to go north.At that time Zhuo Yue was dubious, but now looking at Lou Changfeng's words, he really added "love brother whitewash".

Lou Chuyun curled his lips: "I've never been to a place so deep in the grassland... Hey, aren't the fixed residences of these big tribes all secrets, the kind that can't be revealed to foreigners. Now Li Changxing brought us two When you come back, do you plan to keep us imprisoned forever, or do you plan to kill Miankou?"

Zhuo Yue patted him: "Thinking too much. I will give you a horse to run around casually, and you may not be able to find the way you came here."

The grasslands are thousands of miles away, and at first glance, they are all the same blue fields and sky.If it weren't for people who have lived on this land for decades, it would be difficult to discern the direction.

They were driven and shoved into the settlement.The streets are full of tall and mighty prairie men, mixed with slim-waisted and plump prairie girls. They look sweet and light-skinned, like freshly ripe cantaloupe.Before Lou Chuyun could see enough, he was whipped on the back and hurried away.

Instead of rest or food, they were driven to pastures.There, a group of chubby, round sheep were waiting to be sheared. Each of them was stuffed with a pair of scissors, and they were forced to start working before they could react.

"I'm rough, so they're short of free labor?" Lou Chuiyun, the young master, sat on the pony saddle, complaining while shaving the sheep, "Can I eat? starving."

Brother Chun also lay down at Zhuo Yue's feet sullenly, staring at the frisky fat sheep in front of him with resentment, his spirits were listless.

Zhuo Yue shook his head.He has not recovered from the injury he suffered in the battle of Yulinguan, so he should avoid exertion and fatigue.After fighting for a long time last night, he walked all night on foot, and now he has to work while staring at the rising sun on the grassland without closing his eyes. He couldn't help feeling dizzy and feeling unwell.

But what can he say?Said to call your third prince over, tell him I'm not feeling well, and ask him to arrange someone to take care of me?

Thinking is also dreaming.

Zhuo Yue was upset, he shaved his butt bald with scissors, gritted his teeth and said, "Where are there so many nonsense, don't be so delicate."

Lou Chuyun was furious, and his subordinates accidentally cut too deep, and the sheep bleated miserably and stomped its hooves on his feet.

This is a day.

At first Lou Chuiyun was able to complain and complain, but then he lost his temper after being exposed to the sun, waving the scissors with a numb expression.It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west that he licked his chapped lips, turned his head and said hoarsely to Zhuo Yue: "At first I thought Li Changxing was just trying to show you off, but now I really believe it. It's just a lack of free labor..."

Horns sounded on the grassland, and the herdsmen who had worked all day packed up their things one after another and walked towards the tents in groups.Lou Chuyun jumped up, and said eagerly: "Can I eat? Can I drink water?"

He set his sights on a prairie girl with a sweet smile, and was about to chase after her with a smile to make friends with her, but was suddenly stopped by a big prairie man who appeared from nowhere.

"In Dari Achi, everyone needs to support themselves." The big man was as strong as an iron tower, looking down at Lou Chueyun from a height, "We never give rations and water to others."

Lou Chuiyun was so angry that he jumped up and cursed: "I support myself, why didn't I support myself! All my work for a day was for nothing?"

"We will not treat any laborers badly." A smile flashed across the dark face of the big man, "After this batch of wool is woven into felt and sold, someone will naturally pay you wages."

Lou Chuiyun was dumbfounded: "You only get paid for weaving wool into sheep felt? If you want to starve to death, we can just say so. Tell Li Changxing to come here!"

The big man frowned: "Who is Li Changxing?"

Zhuo Yue interjected coldly: "Your name is Wu/Ersu Gelai."

The big man was stunned for a moment, and shouted violently: "Presumptuous! How dare you not—"

A gust of cold wind swept past the big man's ears, and a few strands of curly long hair were cut into two ends by a sharp weapon in the air.The big man was trembling, he felt the skin of his ear was cold and then hot, and when he raised his hand to touch it, there was fresh blood in his hand.

Behind him, a gleaming dagger was quietly inserted into the soil.

Zhuo Yue withdrew his throwing hand, and said to the stunned man, "Go and tell him. I can kill Zhagan people, I can kill Tumozhong people, and I can also kill you Dari'achi people. Get a firm foothold here, if you don’t want to destroy your own foundation because of my killing spree, just obediently get out and see me.”

The big man clenched his fists, stared at him angrily for a while, then turned and left suddenly.

The surrounding prairie people were stunned, and no one dared to approach them.Zhuo Yue didn't look at other people's expressions, went straight over and pulled out the dagger, wiped it on the trouser leg, and inserted it back into the inner layer of the boot.

Sure enough, not long after, someone came back in a hurry and told them that the third prince had summoned them.

"Cut, something that bullies the weak and fears the hard!" Lou Chuiyun clenched his fists angrily, "Go Zhuo Yue, I'll back you up, let's teach that kid a lesson!"

Someone reached out to stop him: "The prince only said he wanted to see him, but he didn't say he wanted to see you."

Lou Chuyun was stunned.

Zhuo Yue whistled calmly to signal for Brother Chun to follow, and said to Lou Chuuyun: "You stay by yourself, I'll go back as soon as I go."

He left with the visitor, only to hear Lou Chuiyun shouting in a broken voice behind him: "If you don't see it, you won't see it, can you give me something to eat first!"

The grassland people live in tents, and there is no big difference from the outside, and there is no difference between the prince's residence and the commoner's residence.Zhuo Yue was led to a tent, and the man signaled: "The prince is waiting for you inside."

Brother Chun shook his hair, and lay down on the tent lazily.The man looked at it, hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing, Ren Zhuoyue walked into the tent alone.
