The Prodigal Son of the Empire

Wang Kang frowned and walked to a corpse. Against the backdrop of the fire, he could see the despair and pain on this person's expression.

His wound was from the neck down to the waist, a deep scar running through the entire chest, the flesh was turned outwards, and the death was extremely miserable.

Wang Kang reached out and touched it, feeling that there was still some body temperature, and the blood had not completely solidified.

"Just died not long ago."

"Yes."

Lin Zhen nodded and said: "The population of nearly 500 in the entire town has all died, young and old, and none of them survived."

"Could it be a horse thief?"

Ding Qian said: "It's already winter, and it's normal for horse thieves to come out to loot."

"No, not a horse thief."

At this time, Ouyang Wen who was standing aside said, "If horse thieves, they won't kill all the women, they will take all the women back."

"And there are no horse thieves in this land!"

"It's not a horse thief, so what is it?"

"It's a barbarian!"

"Human?"

"What is a barbarian?"

Wang Kang continued: "The Hu people are what we call the northern nomads."

"Yes."

Ouyang Wen went on to say: "They should have done this. Look at the wound, which runs through the knife wound. It is obviously caused by the saber."

"This method is also in line with their style. They are quite cruel. It is said that the cruelest barbarians can eat human flesh and drink human blood!"

"Especially for us, it's quite xenophobic."

"Is it such an exaggeration?"

Lin Zhen said: "When I was in Feng'an City, there were often barbarians trading, and their sheepskins were very popular."

"That's just a minority."

Peng Li interjected: "The Hu people are tyrannical and like to invade. The large area of ​​the northern border of the Yue Kingdom has suffered a lot from it. This is why the Yue Lord is determined to get rid of the northern grassland nomads."

"General Peng is right."

Ouyang Wen said: "The grassland nomads have various tribes, among which there are five largest tribes, namely Naiman, Kelie, Mierqi, Tatar, and Zadalan. Tribal Federation."

"Among them, the Zadalan tribe is relatively peaceful. Their philosophy is to yearn for a better life, and they also like to communicate with countries like ours. However, because of this philosophy, they are squeezed out and gradually become weaker, becoming the weakest of the five major tribes. department."

"The other tribes are also fighting separately, and they are not united..."

As expected, Ouyang Wen has traveled to various countries and knows a lot about these things.

Hearing this, Wang Kang said, "Fortunately, they are at odds internally, otherwise it would be a disaster for us."

"The general is right."

Ouyang Wen said in a deep voice: "The tribal peoples are created by the special environment. They are natural cavalrymen and natural warriors. They are brave in combat and have a large population."

"Yue Junxiong wants to completely eliminate the troubles of nomadism, make the northern grasslands submit to him, and become the back garden of the Yue Kingdom. He really takes it for granted."

After some exchanges, everyone had a deeper understanding of the nomads in the north, and their faces were also very dignified.

Because they will set foot here next, which is closely related to them.

Wang Kang said: "This place is very close to the barbarian range, we must be extra careful, we have so many people, the target is big, and it is very likely that we have been targeted."

"Hong Wu, you still need to put in more effort. The road ahead is unknown, and detailed investigation is necessary. So many people have been killed in this small town, and the corpses are still warm, which means that those barbarians have not been gone for a long time. And we didn’t realize it at all.”

"I don't want something like this to happen again!"

"Yes!"

Cold sweat broke out on Hong Wu's back. The general's tone was quite a severe accusation.

Lin Zhen said: "We continue to move forward, and we may encounter Hu people."

Ouyang Wen dared to probe: "It is true that there are wolves in the front and tigers and leopards in the back!"

"There is no way to do this. Let's burn all the people in this small town."

Wang Kang ordered: "The Hu people are foreigners. On this point, we are united with the Vietnam front, and we should be quicker."

"Yes!"

After finishing here, the army started again, but with more vigilance.

The tragedy that happened in the small town also shocked Wang Kang.

He has never been in contact with Hu people, and he only knows from books that it is also the first time he has set foot on the northern grassland. For him, the road ahead is unknown.

There is always nothing wrong with being careful.

And the current situation is not optimistic.

The Vietnamese army is still chasing after them.

General Lu Zhao of the Yue Kingdom did not hesitate at all. Although he didn't know why Wang Kang came here, he still pursued decisively.

"General, report ahead, Wang Kang has arrived in Shuangxi Town."

"Double Happiness Town?"

Lu Zhao wondered: "After Shuangxi Town, isn't that the border of the barbarians? What on earth is Wang Kang going to do? He can go straight back to Zhao, so why bother?"

"General Lu doesn't know something. Now Zhao is in turmoil. Liu Zhang, governor of the Northern Xinjiang Province, is in rebellion. Many veteran nobles want Wang Kang's head. Will he dare to go back?"

"Even if this is the case, you shouldn't enter the grassland. This is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth."

"Maybe he was being chased by us, and he had nowhere to escape, so he had to do it!"

Lu Zhao nodded: "It's possible!"

"The question now is, if Wang Kang really goes to the north, should we go after him or not?"
