I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

"Sir, everything is ready." Hatu looked at Jiang Yuan excitedly.

Nearly two thousand men and horses, this strength is enough to save Aoki, how can he not be excited.

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly and waved his hand calmly: "Let's go."

A moment later, a cavalry unit of nearly two thousand men rode forward.

Watching from a distance, it was extremely oppressive, and even Jiang Yuan, who was deep in the center of the team, couldn't help but take a deep breath.

This feeling was different from what he had imagined before. Looking around, he saw only tall horses, which was something he could not get from watching TV dramas.

As the team went deeper, the excitement in Hatu's eyes became more and more obvious.

"Sir, the territory of our Qingmu tribe is just five miles ahead."

Jiang Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief, as he was finally completing the mission.

Even though the more than a thousand cavalrymen around him seem very powerful, in fact, if they encounter a real large tribe on the grassland, these few people will not even be able to make a splash.

Now Jiang Yuan doesn't care how many barbarians he can recruit, he just wants to return to Taiping County safely with the benefits he has gained so far.

"Full speed ahead!" Jiang Yuan shouted loudly.

The distance of five miles flew by under the horse's hooves.

After a moment, Hatu looked at the grass in front of him in disbelief.

There was no Aoki tribe there anymore; the entire grassland was in ruins.

There were only some broken tents and smashed things. If you kicked away the snow on the grass, you would definitely find a broken scimitar and a human corpse.

"This...how could this happen..." Hatu knelt on the ground weakly.

Jiang Yuan frowned and came to Hatu: "What's going on? Is the Zhenmu tribe that is hostile to you very strong?"

Hatu shook his head with lifeless eyes: "No, our two tribes are similar. We have never been able to destroy the other."

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but wonder, the strength of both sides was similar, how could the place where the Qingmu tribe existed become a ruin?

"Could it be that they have moved to another place?" Jiang Yuan asked again.

Hatu shook his head stiffly: "That's impossible. Even if my brother and the others leave, they won't leave the tent behind."

"Besides, there are corpses around here. Even if my eldest brother and his men suffered heavy losses, there is no way they would leave without burying the bodies of their people."

Jiang Yuan sighed. Considering so much evidence, there were only two possibilities for the Qingmu tribe.

One type was that no one was left alive, and all of them ascended to heaven, with the whole family lying neatly on this piece of grass.

Either the people of the Qingmu tribe suffered a crushing defeat, and it is hard to say where they are now.

After all, the entire grassland is so big that it is impossible for them to search one by one. They may not be able to find any witnesses even if they look for them.

After realizing this, Jiang Yuan no longer had any hope.

"I think we can try to see if we can find the Zhenmu tribe." Jiang Yuan said softly.

As soon as these words were spoken, Hatu seemed to come to his senses suddenly and slammed the ground with both hands.

"That's right! If we find that bastard Maki, I'll fight him to the death!"

Jiang Yuan had no objection to this. After all, the soldiers had been brought out and the truth bombs were ready.

Jiang Yuan would feel a little helpless if he just went back without fighting with Maki.

"Hatu, stop talking nonsense and find the whereabouts of the Zhenmu tribe as soon as possible."

Seeing Jiang Yuan speak, Hatu forced himself to cheer up.

Even if Aoki is dead, we have to avenge him now.

"All scouts, move out and explore the surrounding twenty miles. Return at any time if any situation arises!"

Under Jiang Yuan's arrangement, a team of reconnaissance troops was sent out.

"The rest of you stay where you are and wait." Jiang Yuan said, spreading the animal skin on the ground and sitting down.

Although Jiang Yuan can ride a horse, he has never ridden one before. He has spent almost all the time on horseback these days, and his body is almost falling apart.

After waiting there for half a day, we finally saw a reconnaissance team returning from a distance.

"Report! Sir, a barbarian tribe has been spotted fifteen miles southwest. They appear to be migrating, with approximately a thousand people."

Jiang Yuan immediately sat up from the ground. With more than a thousand people, he could easily defeat them!

"Everyone, let's go!" Jiang Yuan said, turning around to look at the reconnaissance team that had just returned.

"You stay here and join us after the rest of the reconnaissance team returns."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan jumped on his horse and the large army set off again.

Fifteen miles is neither far nor near. By the time everyone caught up with the migrating barbarian tribe, they had already run twenty miles.

"Surround them all!" Jiang Yuan didn't hesitate at all.

The barbarian tribe in front of them had only about 1,300 to 1,400 people, and only 700 to 800 of them were capable of fighting. This number of people had no chance of competing with the Taiping County troops.

"Dear Chief, when did we offend you?"

A strong man wearing animal skins walked out and looked at the cavalry surrounding him, his heart trembling uncontrollably.

The barbarians don’t have so many rules. They kill whenever they want and can bury the bodies anywhere in the vast grassland.

"Sir, sir, can you let me show off for a while?" Zhao Kai came to Jiang Yuan excitedly.

Jiang Yuan glared at him angrily: "Pretend! All you know is pretending. What's the situation now? You're still pretending."

"Besides, what's the point of pretending with such a small number of people? We can defeat them anyway. There's no need to fool them. We'll let you pretend next time when we meet someone we can't defeat head-on."

As he was speaking, the barbarian tribe leader had been brought before Jiang Yuan.

"Chief Shenlong, I wonder why you are blocking our way?" The strong man looked at Jiang Yuan warily, fearing that the other party would start a killing spree if they disagreed with him.

Jiang Yuan looked at the burly man with a smile: "You're welcome. Which tribe are you from?"

"We are from the Wild Wolf Tribe." The strong man said with a stiff face.

Jiang Yuan's face suddenly showed an incredible expression. He had heard Hatu mention this Wild Wolf Tribe.

It was a very powerful tribe, with at least 3,000 people, if not 5,000. How did it become like this?

"What? You said you are from the Wild Wolf Tribe. How is that possible? There are only you guys in the Wild Wolf Tribe? Where are all the others?" Hatu asked directly.

The wolf looked at them bitterly and said, "Hey guys, there's no one else."

"Tell me what's going on." Jiang Yuan said calmly.

The wolf nodded and said, "Let's cut to the chase. You don't belong to our southern grasslands, do you?"

"Well, let's get down to business." Jiang Yuan said unhappily.

The wolf nodded and continued, "Let me tell you about the current situation in the southern grasslands."

"As everyone knows, the tribal conference held every three years is about to begin, and several large tribes in our south are already at loggerheads."

"And our Wild Wolf Tribe was attacked by the Barbarian Bull Tribe a few days ago, and only a few of us escaped."

"Have you heard of the Qingmu tribe?" Hatu asked quickly.

The wolf was stunned for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "Not only have I heard about it, I've also seen it. They've been captured by the Barbarian Bull Tribe."

"Is Qingmu still alive?" Jiang Yuan spoke again.

The reason for rushing into the grassland is to save Aoki.

If he dies, then this trip would be in vain.
