191: get lost

Lin Yue was currently galloping across the grasslands, and the worst news had arrived.

They couldn't find King Baiyang's Encampment!

"Stop!" Lin Yue raised his arm, signaling, then asked, "A Rong, do the scouts have any news?"

Xing Daorong shook his head and said, "None. There's no trace of Xiongnu people within a hundred-li radius!

The scouts have expanded their search to one hundred and fifty li, but no news has come back yet."

If there was no trace of Xiongnu people within a hundred-li radius, then it was highly unlikely that a Xiongnu people tribe would appear within one hundred and fifty li.

Since the last camp massacre, the White Horse Righteous Cavalry had been on a forced march across the grasslands. Aside from a few small skirmishes, they had not made contact with the Xiongnu people again.

Now, after days of continuous raiding, their rations were running low.

If they couldn't find any trace of the Xiongnu people before dark, they would go hungry by morning.

"Zhao Ponu!" Lin Yue called out.

"This humble general is here!" Zhao Ponu replied.

"You lead a team of White Horse Camp to assist the scouts in their exploration," Lin Yue said with a deep frown.

"Understood!" Zhao Ponu bowed in response and rode off without hesitation.

He was in a very awkward position now. He had led the White Horse Righteous Cavalry to King Baiyang's Encampment, but they hadn't found it, and now they were lost!

Although Lin Yue didn't blame him, it still made him quite self-reproachful and annoyed. He immediately cracked his horsewhip to speed up, determined to find the Xiongnu people!

Lin Yue watched Zhao Ponu's departing back, lost in thought. He hoped Zhao Ponu could bring him some good news.

Then he opened the regional chat channel, wanting to see if there were any players nearby, but the channel was dead silent.

Lin Yue sighed, watching his sent message sink like a stone into the sea, without a ripple.

He couldn't help but feel anxious, but at this moment, he was powerless.

Because the cooldown for "Qi Observation Technique" was still half a month, it couldn't be used yet.

If they waited until "Qi Observation Technique" could be used, their White Horse Righteous Cavalry would long since be a crippled Army.

After all, the Soldiers of the White Horse Righteous Cavalry now knew that food was running low, and they couldn't find the Xiongnu people. Their morale had already shifted and was not as high-spirited as before.

Scale: One hundred thousand

The morale of the White Horse Righteous Cavalry was somewhat low, and Lin Yue knew this was unavoidable.

Because people who would still fight enthusiastically for you while hungry might exist, but there would certainly not be a hundred thousand of them!

So, the most urgent task was to find a Xiongnu people tribe!

Just as Lin Yue was worrying, Zhao Ponu galloped back.

"My Lord, This humble general has found traces of Xiongnu people a hundred li away!

Approximately ten thousand in scale!" Zhao Ponu's voice came, and the White Horse Righteous Cavalry were somewhat shocked!

Lin Yue was overjoyed. If there were people, it would be easier. They could then find nearby Xiongnu people tribes based on them!

The Soldiers of the White Horse Righteous Cavalry heard this news, and after a moment of shock, they reacted by erupting in enthusiastic cheers!

"Brother, what's happening up front? Why are they cheering!" a Soldier asked.

"They found Xiongnu people! Our food is guaranteed!"

"That's great! We finally found those damned Xiongnu people!

My hands are itching; I haven't cut off any heads in days!" The Soldier laughed.

Before he could laugh heartily, the Soldier felt someone call him from behind. Without turning his head, he laughed loudly:

"We found the Xiongnu people's lair! Our food is guaranteed!

Brother, sharpen your spears, we have work to do!"

"That's great! This humble general still thinks stolen rations taste better. The Army's food before didn't have that kick!" The Soldier behind him laughed.

Then, such conversations spread backward like waves, and cheers echoed across the grasslands!

Normally, Lin Yue would have stopped them. After all, they were the attacking party, and such deafening noise would inevitably alert the Xiongnu people, to avoid beating the grass and startling the snake.

But now, with no trace of Xiongnu people within a hundred-li radius, even if the White Horse Righteous Cavalry shouted until their throats were raw, it wouldn't matter; no one would discover them.

What's more, after their excited shouting, the morale of the White Horse Righteous Cavalry was already nearing its peak!

The Army's morale was usable!

Lin Yue laughed loudly, "Forward! Follow me to capture the enemy!"

"Understood!" The Generals and Soldiers shouted in unison, their voices echoing through the sky!

...After traveling a hundred li, Lin Yue finally discovered a group of Xiongnu Cavalry!

They were a group of ten thousand cavalry, also driving over a hundred thousand cattle.

Lin Yue directly charged forward on his horse. The White Horse Righteous Cavalry slowly surrounded them from all sides. For a moment, the Xiongnu people in the center were dumbfounded, seeing enemies appearing from all directions.

They stayed put, not daring to move a single step.

Lin Yue charged forward on his horse until he was a hundred paces from the Xiongnu people. He took out his longbow from his back, nocked an arrow, and shot it.

One arrow pierced the head of a Xiongnu Cavalry who was frozen in place.

It wasn't until that Xiongnu Cavalry fell, and blood slowly seeped into the grass, that the Xiongnu people came to their senses.

With lightning speed, they immediately dismounted and knelt on the ground, speaking a qin language that the Qin People couldn't understand.

Lin Yue was also surprised by this. Finally, he pulled on the reins in front of them, stopping his warhorse, and looked down at them from above.

"Hee-haw!"

The White Horse Righteous Cavalry stopped in sequence, their warhorses making disgruntled noises.

I've already accelerated my charge; are you playing this game with me?

Big Yellow's behavior was particularly obvious. Due to the sudden stop, its two front hooves paused in the air. Upon landing, Big Yellow deliberately lunged forward, and its two front hooves instantly stomped the head of a Xiongnu Cavalry kneeling in the grass into the mud.

Feeling unsatisfied, it stomped two more times haphazardly until Lin Yue patted Big Yellow's head, and it reluctantly stopped.

"Who is your leader here?" Lin Yue asked.

"I am, I am!" A pure qin language voice came, and a Xiongnu people elder crawled over from not far away.

It wasn't until the Xiongnu people elder tilted his head and saw the Xiongnu Cavalry under Big Yellow's hoof, who had met his end in an extremely strange posture, that he stopped, not daring to move forward.

"Are you a Qin Person?" Lin Yue asked, narrowing his eyes, his gaze full of murderous intent!

"I am a Xiongnu people, and I can speak qin language," the Xiongnu people elder replied, his body trembling constantly.

Hearing that he was not a Qin Person, Lin Yue's expression relaxed. He then asked:

"What is your name, where are you from, and where are you going?"

"My name is Wugu Qi, and I am the Prime Minister of the Jiti Tribe.

I am also from the Jiti Tribe and am preparing to go to King Baiyang's Encampment," Wugu Qi replied, nodding his head like a pestle, not daring to look up at the Generals.

"You said you are preparing to go to King Baiyang's Encampment?" Lin Yue asked, his face full of smiles.

"Yes, My Lord, we were invited by King Baiyang to go to the Moon God Temple to worship the Heavenly Gods," Wugu Qi replied.
