Under the escort of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, the patrol team left Yanmen Pass and headed towards Black Wind City.
The distance from Yanmen Pass to Black Wind City is not far, and the previous generation of horse thieves and bandits were rampant, but after Zhao Pu built Black Wind City, all the horse thieves were caught by him.
After settling down, many people came out to do business, mostly inns, tea shops, etc., and some foreign peoples.
Zhao Pu has always been very encouraging in commerce and trade, as long as he does not do evil and does not harm others, and abides by the laws and regulations of the Han people, anyone can come to do business.
Therefore, although everyone chose the official road all the way, they could still see the market and the camel caravans coming and going on both sides.
The fourth son didn't see a camel last time, but he felt so strange when he saw it, and asked his grandson through the car window, "Daddy, is that a camel?"
Gongsun nodded, don't say that the fourth son hasn't seen it, many of them here are from Jiangnan, and they haven't seen it.
Long Qiaoguang beckoned to a young man who was renting a camel in the distance, and pointed to one of the camels that looked the cleanest and in the best spirits.
The little brother immediately understood that he would drag the camel over, "Official, do you want to rent a camel?"
Long Qiaoguang gave him a piece of silver.
The little brother took the money and gave the camel to the shadow guard who came up to lead the rope.
The shadow guards asked him to pick it up at the gate of Black Wind City tomorrow, so they took the little fourth son out of the carriage and put him on the camel.
The camel is much more tame than the horse, and it is much taller, and the little fourth son sits on the rattan chair on the camel's back, looking up at the majestic Black Wind City in the distance, and the huge "Zhao" flag on the city tower is waving in the wind.
Zhan Zhao was also very interested in the camel, sitting on Zao Duoduo's back, reaching out to touch the camel's neck.
The lookouts on the tower of Black Wind City had apparently seen the mighty procession, and the low and distant sound of bull horns sounded, followed by several arrows being shot into the sky.
It was dark now, and the light of the arrows exploding in the sky overwhelmed the afterglow of the setting sun.
Bai Yutang held a knife in one hand and Bai Yunfan's reins in the other, and asked the ochre shadow on the side, "Why do you release the arrow?"
Ochre smiled slightly and said, "Tell the neighbors that the boss is back, and let them be honest." ” As he spoke, he saw Long Qiaoguang, who was lazily riding a horse in front of him, beckoning to the tower of Black Wind City.
Everyone looked up, only to see a man in pale soft armor walking up at the head of Black Wind City, leaning against the city wall to look at this side.
Everyone who has been to Black Wind City before knows it, and that is He Yihang, the deputy commander of the Zhao family.
Beside He Yihang, another person walked up, and a bright red head was particularly piercing from a distance, it was the fire unicorn Ouyang Shaozheng.
The little fourth son sat on the camel, recognized Ouyang Shaozheng's hair at a glance, and stretched out his hand to wave to him.
Ouyang smiled and beckoned to him.
However, everyone looked around and didn't see Zou Liang.
Long Qiaoguang frowned, "What about the kid?"
As soon as the words fell, I saw the gate of Black Wind City open, and inside the door, a black-robed general walked out with two teams of men and horses, and the people and horses were lined up in a bird's wing, among which the general in black robes, black armor, and black cloak was not the dumb wolf Zou Liang.
Zou Liang looked lean and lean in black, always expressionless, his complexion was also pale, and his face was in a bad mood, don't mess with the uncle's expression.
The crowd couldn't laugh or cry.
Zhao Pu shook his head.
Long Qiaoguang said to himself, "Oh, I'm a little more energetic, it seems that it was useful to chat with Sailor last night." ” Everyone around me was a little curious, who Thaler was, and his name sounded like a foreigner.
The Zhao family's army has always been dignified and majestic, and after everyone entered the city, they settled down without mentioning it.
After dinner, everyone went to the Zhao Pu military camp to meet, and they all sat down to drink tea, and found that Zou Liang was not there.
"What about people," Zhan Zhao asked.
Ouyang said, "I went back to Zuoying, and he didn't eat dinner here, so he took a pot of wine, saying that he was going to eat barbecue with Saler." ” Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, and it was Sailer again Zhao Pu asked about He Yihang's specific situation, discussed the next step with everyone, and decided to act separately.
Zhao Pudao, "Otherwise, let's discuss it with Lin Yehuo and investigate the case together."
Everyone thought it was a good idea.
In addition, Zhao Pu also needed to investigate the situation in other countries recently, so he stayed in Black Wind City to investigate, and Zhanzhao, Bai Yutang and Long Qiaoguang went to Huofeng Hall together.
Long Qiaoguang represents Zou Liang's side, and it is necessary to communicate with Huofengtang's side.
In Long Qiaoguang's words, it was to help his brother solve the emotional dispute, but Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt that it was because Zhao Pu was annoying him, so they sent him away for a few days.
Yin Hou and Tianzun also wanted to go to Huofeng Hall and discuss with Wusha, Gongsun stayed to help Zhao Pu, but the fourth son wanted to go to Huofeng Hall.
So, Gongsun entrusted the fourth son to Zhanzhao.
In fact, everyone also knows that the fourth son wants to go to Huofeng Hall to have a look, and Xiao Liang may be there.
After the discussion was made, everyone rested early.
That night, Bai Yutang tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, I don't know if it was the bed, the bed in the barracks was a little hard, or the wind and sand in the desert were too loud and whining.
Bai Yutang simply got out of bed and looked at the bed next to him, Zhan Zhao was sleeping soundly with his little fourth son in his arms.

Gongsun is tired of traveling today, and he is going to sleep more tomorrow, but Zhanzhao and they have to hurry early tomorrow morning, so the little fourth son simply followed Zhanzhao to sleep, and the little guy slept very honestly, curled up into a ball, wrapped in a small quilt and leaned on Zhanzhao's arm.
Bai Yutang gently tugged the quilt for Zhanzhao, covered the exposed shoulders, and turned to go out.
Zhan Zhao opened his eyes and glanced in the direction of the door, shook his head, dragged the little fourth son into his arms, covered the quilt and continued to sleep, muttering in his stomach that the delicate mouse must have recognized the bed The desert was unexpectedly cold at night, and Bai Yutang felt the chill when he arrived at the door, stretched out his hand, put on the white cloak hanging at the door, and walked out of the tent.
On the tower of Black Wind City, soldiers wearing thick furs are standing guard, waiting for the soldiers on shift to sit around the fire and chat.
As soon as Bai Yutang walked out, he felt a lot of eyes sweeping over, which showed the vigilance of the guards in Zhao Pu's military camp.
However, when the guards found out that it was him, they all withdrew their eyes and continued to keep watch.
Bai Yutang walked towards the north gate facing the desert, and met several groups of soldiers along the way, and several commanders knew him, so he asked, "The fifth master can't sleep?"
Bai Yutang nodded and asked, "Can you go out and have a look?"
A soldier showed him the way, "Go to the side gate on the left to go out, just say to the officers and soldiers guarding the city, but don't go too far, it's very cold at night." ” Bai Yutang nodded, walked in the direction they pointed, and sure enough, he smoothly walked out of the gate of Black Wind City and walked outside.
To the north of Black Wind City is the desert.
The desert at night is not as vast as the day, and the darkness is boundless, but it reminds Bai Yutang of the night of the Trap Island, when he looks at the open sea, and inexplicably produces a familiar feeling.
Bai Yutang walked out, attracted by a little fire in the distance.
Walking closer, I found a huge dead tree lying down on the edge of the desert, this ancient tree was so rotten that only a broken empty shell remained, but it was half a man tall, you can imagine how thick it was when it survived.
Behind the trunk of the tree, there was a dancing fire, and the crackling sound of the branches burning, and it seemed that someone had lit a bonfire behind it.
Bai Yutang wanted to go around the trunk of the tree to see who was sleeping in this desert in the middle of the night, but he was attracted by all the strange noises coming from afar.
He looked to the right, and saw a dense forest on the right, and in the dark woods, little by little, a green glow flickered, which were the eyes of a wild beast.
Bai Yutang frowned slightly, and from his breath, he could feel that there were wolves in the woods.
As he stared at the bushes, there was the sound of soft footsteps.
Bai Yutang frowned, the sound of this footstep was not human, it was too light He looked back and was slightly stunned.
At some point, a huge white wolf with blue-green eyes came out from behind the trunk of the tree, staring at him.
The white wolf was at least twice the size of an ordinary wolf, its snow-white fur became thicker and thicker because of the cold, its sturdy body was very straight, and a snow-white thick tail hung down behind it.
In the desert, he met a wolf in a narrow way, and Bai Yutang had never encountered this situation.
However, the wolf didn't seem to take it too seriously, pacing slowly past Bai Yutang, and sat in the clearing not far away, looking at the full moon hanging on the horizon in the distance.
The cold wind blew, the white wolf's hair fluttered gently with the wind, the wolf's expression was not vicious, and he looked ahead lightly.
At this time, a few dark clouds obscured the full moon, and the wind added a bit of chill.
Bai Yutang was looking at the white wolf when he heard a voice from behind the trunk of the tree, "It's going to snow." ” Bai Yutang walked past the trunk of the tree, looked down and saw that behind the trunk, he was sitting by the bonfire alone, dressed in black, holding a small wine jar in his hand, and a black broken knife stuck in front of him was Zou Liang.
There was also a shelf by the campfire, some barbecue, and mottled blood on the ground Bai Yutang thought for a while, turned his face to look at the white wolf who was still sitting not far away, and asked, "It's Saylor."
Hearing the word "Sailor", the white wolf glanced at Bai Yutang again.
Zou Liang took a sip of wine and said, "It seems to like you a lot, usually when others come over, it will go back to the forest." ” Bai Yutang walked to the trunk of the tree and sat down, and asked, "Why is it called Sailor?"
Zou Liang said, "The meaning of the moon god is that the wolves in the desert have been white wolf kings for generations, and they are all called Sele. ” Bai Yutang looked at Sailor again and asked, "It's the one who raised you."
Zou Liang shook his head, "It's the previous generation of the previous generation, it's dead, it's my brother's son." ” Bai Yutang was a little curious, "How many years can wolves live?"
Zou Liang continued to drink, "Well, more than 20 years for a longer period, and more than ten years for a shorter one." ” Bai Yutang nodded.
At this time, Sailor walked a few steps, sat down beside Bai Yutang, and raised his face to look at the sky.
As the white wolf raised his face, snowflakes fell Bai Yutang watched as the snowflakes fell one by one and disappeared into the bonfire.
"In which direction is the ghost sea?"
Bai Yutang suddenly asked.
Zou Liang stretched out his hand and pointed to the northwest, "Over there, far, far away." ” "What about Fire Phoenix Hall," Bai Yutang asked.
Zou Liang pointed in the direction his face was facing, "Over there, it's also far away." ” Bai Yutang looked down and saw the position of Zou Liang's left shoulder, a piece of shoulder armor rusted on his clothes, this piece of armor seemed to be meaningless, but the position should be exactly the position of the phoenix on his shoulder imprinted by Lin Yehuo.
Bai Yutang didn't speak, and when he turned around, Sailor was already resting at his feet.
Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly, this wolf has a good temper.
Zou Liang continued to drink and asked, "Do you know why it likes you?"
Bai Yutang looked at Zou Liang.
Zou Liang said, "Because you didn't touch it like a dog." ” Bai Yutang smiled, "I like cats, I don't like dogs." ” Zou Liang smiled meaninglessly and nodded, "It doesn't like dogs either." ” I don't know if it was because of Zou Liang's reminder, Bai Yutang suddenly became a little interested, stretched out his hand, and gently patted Sailer's back twice.
It looks like a soft white wolf fur, but it feels much harder than expected.
Sailor didn't know if he felt it, he didn't move or look at Bai Yutang, he just yawned and took a nap on his stomach.

Suddenly, Thaler raised his head and stared ahead.
"What's wrong," Bai Yutang asked.
Zou Liang took a sip of wine and said, "The wild donkeys pass by. ” As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion in the forest, and when Bai Yutang understood, Sailor had already stood up, and at the same time, wolves howled all around, and the wild donkeys in front of them were frightened and fled in all directions, and countless wolves in the forest pounced out and rounded up the donkeys.
Bai Yutang was surprised, it turned out that there were so many wolves ambushed in all directions.
On the wilderness, the cold wind was instantly filled with blood, and the wind and snow were wrapped in the breath of fierce beasts, and soon the donkeys fled as they could, and the rest were eaten by wolves, and the mottled blood stains were particularly clear on the snow-white ground.
At this time, the clouds that had covered the full moon had cleared, and Sailer slowly walked up the high slope to the full moon, leaving a graceful silhouette, raising his face, and letting out a wolf howl with a sense of desolation.
The wolves dragged their prey back with a full load, the snow continued to fall, and soon, the blood on the ground was covered, and the desert was empty again.
Bai Yutang saw Sailer coming down from the high slope and pacing on the hunting ground just now, and then there was a sharp and frightened donkey cry.
Bai Yutang frowned slightly, could there be a wild donkey that didn't die After a while, he saw Sailer returning, and when he came to them, he shook his head, and a young wild donkey was thrown at Zou Liang's feet.
Zou Liang picked up the little wild donkey and put it in the open space at hand, looked at it, there was a little injury to his hind legs, and everything else was fine.
When Sayler had finished throwing the donkey, he turned and went back into the woods, and soon the wolves in the woods died down, and it seemed that he had returned to his den full of prey.
Bai Yutang looked at the little donkey trembling at his feet again, and asked Zou Liang puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"If you stay in the desert at such a young age, you will die, throw it over and let me raise it."
Zou Liang stretched out his hand and poked the little wild donkey, "The wolf is the animal that most resembles a human. “ Bai Yutang was slightly puzzled.
"It's obvious that I use the weak as food, but I occasionally sympathize with the weak."
Zou Liang stood up and carried the little wild donkey back to Black Wind City.
Bai Yutang sat alone by the trunk of the tree, looking at the ghost sea in the distance, which was so far away that it melted into the darkness, and suddenly realized that this desert was actually another world, completely different from the world they lived in before, and there were survival rules that belonged here.
It is not easy to survive, and even the wolves have a trace of awe for the creatures living in this barren land.
The tranquility of the night made the fifth master feel a little sleepy, and he was about to hurry up and go back to sleep for a while, when some noises not far away attracted his attention
