C301 Kill the Eagle
These followers had to stay in Ye family to keep an eye on them. Only then could Ye Tian feel slightly relieved.
Before Ye Tian left, he arranged everything properly. One man and one horse moved towards the west at a very fast speed.
Hsiang Yunkong's army didn't move forward with Ye Tian, because it was a very secretive thing to let Ye Tian do it. Even Chu King didn't know about it.
In just a few days, Ye Tian had arrived at the Western Front. He looked at the tall barrier that was surrounded by thorns. From the faint traces of blood that had seeped into the barrier, one could tell how terrible the situation would be if it happened here.
Every soldier's face was covered with traces of wind and frost. They had no idea how many times they had been in the circle of life and death, but the tenderness in their hearts had long been wiped away.
Some soldiers hoped to get through the upcoming cold as soon as possible. This way, it would be slightly better in the borderlands.
There were even some soldiers who hoped to pass the deadline of the border defense as soon as possible so that they could go home and warm up their wives and children.
When Ye Tian was about to come out of seclusion, no one knew that he was the very famous Champion Marquis now.
In a city on the border, Chu Country had formed a business circle with various tribes, and everyone could buy and sell the goods that they were short of.
Some soldiers even thought that Ye Tian was from another tribe. After a few simple questions, they asked Ye Tian to come out of seclusion.
At the top of the highest stronghold, there were two people standing. One of them was holding a Moon Glimpse Mirror. A small device could easily detect the situation a hundred miles away, hence the name of the Moon Glimpse Mirror.
This person held the Moon Glimpse Mirror and looked at the situation at the city gate. He was also looking at Ye Tian, who had come out of seclusion.
This person was the border War God, West Suppressing King Hsiang Yunkong!
"Commander, do you think Ye Tian alone can accomplish the mission you gave him? This Ye Tian looks harmless to humans and animals. No matter how strong he is, can he still fight Ximiao Leader?"
Beside Hsiang Yunkong, a deputy general was standing side by side with Hsiang Yunkong. He didn't trust Ye Tianyi at all.
They knew how powerful the Ximiao was. Although it was a tribe, it wasn't a small matter for them to be able to threaten the defense of the Chu Country's border.
Hsiang Yunkong and the previous few garrison generals were defending together. Currently, the Ximiao was still able to make some small moves. Every year, the defense of the border would be severely disturbed.
Even so, after so many years, Hsiang Yunkong still couldn't find a way to deal with it, including those people from before.
"That will depend on Ye Tian. If he really died in the Ximiao, I would have already informed him about it. What does the matter of life and death have to do with me?"
Hsiang Yunkong didn't think too much about what his adjutant said. Now, he was also curious. Could Ye Tian really die in Ximiao?
However, everything was just a guess. In the end, it still depended on whether Ye Tian could come back alive.
"Send scouts out now to investigate. Once they discover the chaos in Ximiao, we will immediately attack. Even if we don't destroy the seed, we will make sure that they won't be able to recover in a short period of time!"
Hsiang Yunkong gave the order, and the deputy beside him immediately acted according to the order.
At this moment, Hsiang Yunkong put away the Moon Glimpse Mirror in his hand, turned around and left. The copper and iron on his armor also produced a clear sound of collision.
The Ximiao tribe was located one thousand and three hundred miles away from the west side of the Chu Country. The surroundings of the Ximiao tribe were filled with barren hills and weeds, forming a natural defense for the tribe.
The Ximiao tribe wasn't very big. All the members of the tribe were counted, but there were less than fifty thousand of them.
Such a sparsely populated tribe was like a gust of wind that could destroy it. It wasn't even comparable to the soldiers of the Chu Country's Western Front, but the Ximiao tribe had already taken root here for hundreds of years.
Before Ye Tian could reach the perimeter of the Ximiao tribe, he heard the roars of countless wild beasts, but no one screamed.
These wild beasts were tamed by the Ximiao tribe. They were raised in the tribe and killed at the critical moment.
They were the true warriors of the Ximiao, and after so many years, they had given birth to many offspring for the Ximiao.
Ye Tian kept moving in the woods, judging the specific location of the tribe based on the sound.0
The forest was very lush, and it was very well shielded. It was a natural barrier.
At this moment, a shadow suddenly flew over Ye Tian. It seemed to be a passing bird, but Ye Tian did not dare to be careless.
"Sou!"
Ye Tian raised his head very quickly, and an arrow condensed from true qi immediately shot out. It shot down just as the bird was about to fly over his head.
When it landed on the ground, Ye Tian discovered that it was a completely brown eagle. Its body was perfect, and it could cut through all the resistance in the sky.
The appearance of this eagle was definitely not a coincidence. Ye Tian was sure that it was sent by the Ximiao to patrol the surroundings.
Whether he killed this eagle or not, it meant that Ye Tian's identity had been exposed, and that was exactly what Ye Tian thought.
At this moment, a person was running out from his hut in the Ximiao tribe. His palm was placed on his mouth and it made a sound. Not long after that, many ferocious beasts rushed over in succession.
"Didila, what's wrong? What made you panic?"
A big man in the village saw that Didila had a strange expression on his face and immediately asked.
"Something bad happened. An outsider broke in. The sentry I sent out was broken!"
Didila was also very distressed. After all, that eagle had been raised for a long time. If it died just like that, it would be a losing business.
"You think too much. The little scumbags on the Midland sent those human-shaped feed here every day. Perhaps they were the ones who did it? "
The man looked at Didila and waved his hand casually. He did not take this matter seriously.
Because they had been fighting Chu King for a long time, they had killed countless scouts sent by Hsiang Yunkong. Their corpses had all become food for tamed beasts.
"No, no, no. Think about it. These people have been appearing and disappearing unpredictably recently. It can't be those people who can do such a high-profile thing. I'm worried about them, so I have to go out and take a look."
Didila naturally could not be so relaxed. He often sent out condors to patrol. This kind of thing made him very uneasy.
Didila also knew that several times before, Hsiang Yunkong's army was going to attack the tribe.
"I will go with you! Xibei! I want to see who is tired of living and dares to come here and behave atrociously!"
The man's fingers formed a ring and he placed it in his mouth and whistled. It immediately attracted many wild beasts and the two of them rode the wild beasts out of the village.
At this time, Ye Tian was still moving forward. When he killed the eagle earlier, he could not help but feel nervous, and wanted to hide near the village of Ximiao as soon as possible.
But before he could walk far, he heard the sound of running horses and the roars of wild beasts.
In such a short period of time, the Ximiao tribe had already discovered him. Ye Tian was secretly aware of the alertness of this tribe, but he was about to encounter them. He had no way to avoid them, so he could only draw his sword and stand on the spot, carefully defending himself.
"Over there, charge!"
Didila, who had followed the wild beast over, saw Ye Tian's figure, and the man beside him immediately rushed to Ye Tian's side. When they found that only Ye Tian was there, they were a little surprised.
"Damned bastard, where are your accomplices? You alone are not enough to feed my brothers!"
