Chapter 178 (1/2)

Tang Dynasty cavalry, less than 10000 people, escorted nearly 20000 Western Turkic captives, walking on the open grassland like a huge number of wolves, surrounded by a group of sheep.

The setting sun is sharpening the head, drilling under the horizon, the residual gold stained with the Yellow grassland, making the nature more a sacred breath. The cold wind blowing, desolate empty and inexplicable sad.

Since Wenlu came back, Li Hong's face has not been very good-looking, the war is cruel, he knew for a long time, a long time ago. But when faced with unarmed civilians killed, he always has inexplicable sadness and anger in his heart.

”How to deal with these 20000 people Quan Yi, with a black face, let asnaduzhi escape into the deep grassland, which makes him feel shameless.

”They can be escorted to Menyuan and told mingchongyan that they can use them at will, and there will be labors in the future.” Li Hong gazed at the Western Turkic prisoners who slowly entered Qiuci and said faintly.

Quan Yi said yes, then saluted behind Li Hong, and then left to arrange the residence for the prisoners tonight and the itinerary for tomorrow.

”Huameng, send a letter to Bai Chun. All the cement stored deliberately will be transported to Qiuci after the Spring Festival.” After Li Hong finished speaking, he watched the last group of prisoners enter the city, and slowly walked down from the tower.

”I can't, no day. I'll ask a few people who look like generals all night to find out where the ashnatu branch will camp. Fang Zhan, all the people who contact you on the grassland should move. Even if it snows tomorrow, you should move immediately. I want the exact location of ashnatsu. ” After walking down the stairs, looking at the lawlessness of the escort, he said in a hurry.

The winter in the western regions is very long. When the first day is coming, the land of Central Plains has already had signs of recovery from the cold, and even the spring full of flavor can be clearly heard.

However, the western regions are still in the freezing and snowy winter, and the knife like north wind rages across the vast land. The whole western region seems to be a huge and incomparable uninhabited area.

Li Hong has been in the camp for half a month. He and Quan Yi led 7000 people each. They almost lost their way on the grassland and stumbled around the grassland.

But asnaduzhi seems to have disappeared out of thin air. In any case, there is no trace of it. Instead, it startles the prairie wolf on the grassland, and when he hears the sound of horse's hooves, he rushes into the nest.

Xia Zhi and Xiao Xue look at Li Hong, who plunges in. They help Li Hong to take off the armor which is full of ice outside. It's as hard as iron plate. The one who drags hard just takes off from Li Hong, and the cotton padded clothes inside are already wet.

”Don't move.” Li Hong put his hands around his chest carefully.

”What's the matter, sir?” Summer solstice and Xiaoxue quickly and carefully take off the armor, and then see Li Hong's arms with a dog?

”Why? Is this a dog, sir Xiao Xue looks at the wolf who hasn't opened his eyes between Li Hong's hands. She is sleeping sweetly between Li Hong's hands.

”Look at you, can there be dogs in this place? Such a small dog has been frozen to death. This is a wolf. I don't think it's a month old. ” Li Hong didn't know how old the wolf was. Anyway, it would not be more than two months.

Banmei and Xulan screamed and ran in from the outside. This kind of weather, which was called white hair wind by the local people, had never met in their life.

At this time, if it is sunny outside, the sun should be high in the sky, but now it is dark outside. The thick snow scattered on the main grassland, after the cold wind, immediately permeates the whole world, making people unable to open their eyes. And the snow foam also seems to have long eyes, and they drill into the body toward the neckline 。

The two women shrunk their hands and feet, their pink cheeks flushed with cold. They shook off the snow on their bodies at the door, and then they walked in slowly.

As soon as I came in, I saw three people playing with the sleeping dog: ”wow What a lovely cat... ”

Half Mei two eyes greedily looking at the thick carpet, struggling to shake, to get up to walk around the wolf, jiaosheng called.

Li Hong is full of black lines on his forehead. Are these people stupid in the palace? Can they be regarded as cats?

”Banmei, are you stupid? Have you never seen a cat and a dog in your life? No, the difference between a cat and a wolf

”Ah? Sir, do you say this is a wolf

”Nonsense, wolf, of course. I don't know if we alerted the wolves, or if the wolves were targeted by some natural enemies. In short, there was no wolf in the wolf's nest. Only this little guy, like a cat, barking at the mouth of the cave, was brought back by me. ” Li Hong took the Warm goat milk from the summer solstice, put the bowl in front of the wolf, and pressed his head for others to drink.
