Chapter 5: The Waste of Water (I)

The night wind whistles, blowing on people's body, the ground is cool.

There was a large flame coming out in Yelu Yishe's eyes.

Shame, the greatest shame in his life! He must capture the four southerners and pieces to pieces before he can wash the snow! Otherwise, once his humble appearance towards this group of liars in the afternoon was spread, let alone in the elite skin-crew army, the entire Khitan would probably have no place to gain a foothold.

"Huh, Huh, Huh..." The twenty personal soldiers behind him were also furious. The thick air exhaled from his nostrils was blown by the night wind and immediately condensed into fog. Looking under the torch, it looked like ten lit haystacks.

They all came out of a small tribe with Yelu Yishe, and their interests were already firmly tied together. If Yelu Yishe lost his official position, even if they could barely stay in the army, they would become ordinary soldiers again. They would charge forward and receive rewards later. Regardless of their treatment, status, and the amount of risks they took when they went to the battlefield were incomparable to the present.

The only one in the entire team who had never had a fire in his stomach was the old eunuch Feng Si'an. On the contrary, because he was tired and hungry, he regretted it now that he shouldn't have secretly ran out to remind Yelu Yishe that one of the guests in the afternoon looked a little similar to Shi Chonggui who was King Zheng. Now, Yelu Yishe was completely crazy and insisted on arresting the other party on the same day to verify his true self. And he probably had to die of exhaustion on the way to "catch the criminal" before he could be pardoned as he wished!

"General, this mountain is not very big. Even if you walk around from the east, at most, you can only go around fifty or sixty miles at most!!" Taking advantage of the time when you were replenishing your energy for Hai Dongqing and the war horse, the old eunuch climbed to Yelu Yishe and gasped for reminding him.

Nothing like the Central Plains, the temperature difference between day and night in Liaodong is very large. The more it is in the mountains, the more eccentric the cold air is. Therefore, he would rather choose to detour than continue to be forced to cross mountains and ridges. Anyway, as long as the sun comes out tomorrow, Haidongqing will fly back into the sky. The distance that the "criminals" have opened overnight cannot escape Haidongqing's eyes and wings.

"Why, you can't bear to part with your young master?" Yelu Yishe didn't even bother to look at him. He asked faintly while taking out a bloody strip of fresh meat from his leather bag and stuffing it into Haidongqing's mouth.

"Gu!" Hai Dongqing opened his mouth under the torch and swallowed the strips of meat in one bite. The blood was pressed out by the hard bean, and slowly condensed into a blood drop the size of a broad bean along the edge of the hook-shaped beard.

All the courage in the old eunuch Feng Si'an's body seemed to be shattered by Hai Dongqing. He immediately lay down beside Yelu Yishe's fighting boots and kowtowed, "It's unfair, General, I'm wronged! I just think that the mountain road is too unsafe, no, there is no other meaning! I'm loyal to Daliao and loyal!"

"Loyalty, you said the same thing to Shi Chonggui back then, right?" Yelu Yishe still did not look at him in front and continued to feed Haidongqing with fresh meat strips. Although the latter's vision was greatly reduced at night, it did not prevent him from eating with the fire. Feeding meat strips in person in the middle of the night is the best way for hunters to communicate their relationship with Haidongqing. Only by starting from the young eagle and persevering for a long time can Haidongqing get used to supplementing blood food at night, and then develop an inextricable sense of dependence on hunters. Even if they fly a hundred miles away during the day, they will fly back to their master in time before sunset.

"No, different! Shi Chonggui, Shi Chonggui is a king who has lost his country. His luck has been over, and I don't want to be buried with him!" The old eunuch knew that he was not qualified to compete for favor with Hai Dongqing, so he kowtowed again and explained carefully, "And the luck of Daliao and Daliao is at its peak!"

"Since you know that the fortune of the Great Liao is at its peak, why are you still thinking about returning to the Central Plains?" Yelu Yishe fed Haidongqing the third piece of fresh meat, closed the skin, and handed it to the personal bodyguard Yelu Zhagu. He pulled up a handful of grass from the ground and wiped it back and forth in his hand. "Isn't it good to stay in the Great Liao? It's not short of what you eat or what you wear, why should you be so anxious to go back to the Central Plains?"

"I am just, I am just, I just don't want to be buried too far from the ancestral grave!" Feng Si'an was forced to have nowhere to turn around, and gritted his teeth and simply chose to "Tell the truth". "I am loyal to the Great Liao, but after all, I am fifty-three. If I can't return to the Central Plains alive, I will be a lonely ghost after death. No matter where I go, I will be bullied!"

"After death? You think so long-term!" Yelu Yishe was stunned for a moment, and finally became a little interested in his words.

The Khitan people came from the Donghu people and had surrendered to the rule of the Turks for a long time, so their beliefs were similar to those of the early Turks. They never believed that there was any theory of hell and reincarnation. They only believed that after a person died, the soul would automatically return to the embrace of the immortal world, regardless of his likes and dislikes during his lifetime. Therefore, when Feng Si'an said it pitifully, he couldn't help feeling a little fresh.

Feng Si'an has been the eunuch leader for many years and has a first-class grasp of people's hearts. Hearing that Yelu Yi's voice was no longer as cold as before, he immediately pretended to be idly and breathed, "I'm the one who has no children, the most feared thing about to be lonely after death. Therefore, he has to go back to his hometown at all costs and try to bury it in the cemetery of his ancestors. At least, he can have a trust behind him! General, General, I have a clear understanding, I really don't have the intention of protecting the Shi family!"

"You don't mean to protect the Shi family. You are just lazy and afraid of death!" Yelu Yishe raised his legs in disgust and kicked him away several feet. "If you have the courage to take a detour, just go around by yourself. Today I will definitely chase this road to the end! Shi Chonggui also has no eyes, and he is surrounded by people like you, how can he not destroy the country!"

After saying that, he held Hai Dongqing with one hand, jumped onto his mount, shook the reins, and continued to gallop deep into the valley.

The guards immediately drove the hunting dogs and war horses, and the ones that should be explored in front of them, and the ones that should be followed behind them rushed in. No one had the time to take a look at the old eunuch Feng Si'an.

The old eunuch Feng Si'an stood there for a few breaths, but he didn't have the courage to walk alone in the wilderness at night. He stumbled onto the mount left for him and chased him up with a quick horse. While chasing, he shouted in a rude Khitan language, "Wait, wait for me, I will go with you. I have served Shi Chonggui for many years, and I am the most familiar with him. He is so different from his appearance now and before his country was destroyed. I can help me, help the general, and verify the prisoner's true body!"

"Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow..." The two hunting dogs running in front of the team barked loudly, as if mocking someone for being so shameless and shameless.

"Hulala--" The large group of wild birds were awakened by the sound of horse hooves, dog barking and human shouting, soared into the sky and gathered into a large cloud under the starlight.

Under dark clouds, on the hillside, raised rocks are like the teeth standing upside down in the devil's mouth.

"Boom!" A devil's tooth suddenly fell off the gum and rolled into the valley.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Three other devil's teeth roared down, intersected with the previous teeth, rolled over the steep slope, crushed countless thorns, crushed countless weeds, and finally pressed on the legs of the war horse, splashing blood rain.

"Don't stop, speed up and rush over!" Yelu Yishe threw Hai Dongqing into the air, then suddenly lifted the reins and crossed the head of his injured robe. He was ambushed! The prey did not rush to escape, but tried to use the terrain to make a dying struggle. However, this struggle was destined to be futile! The stones rolled slowly and the war horses ran fast. As long as they rushed through this dangerous area and then turned around and returned, they could catch the prey and cut them into pieces.

"Hulala--" Hai Dongqing, who was awakened in his sleep, swirled in the air, and used the torch that fell to the ground to recognize the direction, chased after him without hesitation, and grabbed the iron shoulder guard of his owner with his claws again.

"Accelerate, accelerate, rush over, rush over!" All the uninjured Khitans also crazily activated their war horses. The sneak attacker occupied the geographical advantage, and when he stopped, he would only continue to be smashed. The only correct solution was to rush over and then turn around and kill back.

They were all elite soldiers from the Siemens who were selected from one in a hundred, and their reactions were absolutely appropriate. However, the opponents they met tonight were all one in a thousand.

Yelu Yishe, who was rushing to the front, soon discovered that his hunting dog stopped. He turned his head anxiously to his back, jumped, roared, and hoarse.

Hai Dongqing flapped his wings again, hooked the connection between the iron shoulder guards and the armor with his sharp claws, and pulled it hard. Its strength was enough to pick up a lamb, but it could not reduce Yelu Yishe's speed of rushing towards death at all.

"Boom!" The horse galloped, suddenly its front legs were hooked to the spot, but its body could not resist the huge inertia, and led its owner forward and rolled forward at high speed.

"Puff--" Several wooden stakes that were sharpened at both ends poked obliquely into the soil, blocking Yelu Yishe and the war horses' way, poking through the bodies of people and horses, revealing the bright red wooden stubble.

"Squeak--!" Hai Dongqing, who had lost his master, jumped up with a sarcastic cry, and grabbed the war horse's claws half a foot away from the back of the ground, and grabbed it hard.

A thick and long mane rope instantly revealed its original appearance. It was this object that tripped over Yelu Yishe's mount, and Hai Dongqing would never give up with it.

However, its claws could not break the object in the air. In an instant, another war horse galloping at high speed was tripped on the mane rope. It threw the owner on its back out in the air and smashed it hard towards the sharpened rows of wooden stakes.

The mane rope was stretched straight by the horse's legs and hit Hai Dongqing's lower abdomen.

Hai Dongqing was injured and jumped up in a roar.

The third war horse that had no time to stop rushed to the scene, hitting Shanghai Dongqing and knocking it seven or eight feet away.
