Once the tribal children of the Shaodian Kingdom reach their prime, there is a ritual that involves going deep into the uncultivated wilderness to capture their own mounts.
In the wilderness, once an untamed creature is captured and signs a blood pact with its owner, it will be attached to him for the rest of its life and become a coexistence of life and death.
So this mount will accompany him throughout his life.
That year, Ji Yun and Guan, together with nearly ten thousand tribesmen, entered Panlong Ridge, which had not yet been reclaimed.
It is said that the backbone of the Great God Pangu was transformed there, which not only gave birth to many wild beasts, but also dragons and horses that were most suitable for riding.
The Dragon Horse, also known as the Gentleman of Horses, has an extremely docile temperament, with mostly wood and water attributes. It is most loved by ancient Qigong practitioners, priests, and wizards.
There is a dragon horse in Shaodian Kingdom, which is the mount of the king Shaodian. Ji Yun likes to accompany Shaodian since he was a child, and he is even more envious of the old dragon horse beside him.
He spent countless childhood hours on the back of a dragon horse and in his father's arms.
So this time he heard that there were dragons and horses in Panlong Ridge, which made him very happy for a while. Since entering Panlong Ridge, he has ignored the giant bears, saber-toothed tigers, wolverines and other beasts, focusing on looking for traces of dragons and horses.
After traveling in Pangu Ridge for more than half a month, he finally found a trace of the dragon and horse's aura, so he pursued it for more than half a month until he came to a deep mountain.
After walking through the fog, there was a clear sky. Under the sky, a small stream flowed by. Not far away, a snow-white dragon horse was there, lowering its head to drink water.
Ji Yun let out a long breath, holding the horse rope in one hand, and waving the Du Heng grass that the dragon and horse loved to eat most with the other hand, and moved forward slowly.
At this time, a crisp flute sound came, and the dragon and horse seemed to be very happy. They raised their hooves and hooted, happily leaving the river bank.
Ji Yun secretly said something bad and hurriedly ran out to catch up. He only saw a woman in green neon clothes holding a green flute in her hand. She reached out and touched the head of the dragon horse.
Ryoma meekly cupped the woman's hand with his head, as if he was very intimate.
The woman seemed to hear something. She raised her head and glanced at the stream. She saw a man covered in tatters, with a complexion like the withered leaves of the jungle. He was holding a bunch of Du Heng grass in one hand and a bunch in the other.
Rope, the savage who is trying to cross the stream quietly.
Ji Yun saw that the woman who was playing with the dragon and horse with her head lowered suddenly raised her head and looked at him. She was stunned for a moment, then grinned, revealing her white teeth.
The two looked at each other like this for a long time. In the end, Ji Yun couldn't hold on any longer and fell into the stream with a splash, breaking the peace between the two.
The woman smiled, jumped on her horse, and left the creek.
Ji Yun wiped his face and hurriedly followed.
"Why are you following me?" The woman couldn't help but turn around and asked.
"Girl, I've been chasing this dragon horse for more than a month, and it's not good that you just walked away like this!" Ji Yun said weakly.
"The dragon and the horse recognize their master, don't force him!" the woman said with a smile.
Ji Yun was speechless for a moment, scratched his head, sighed, turned around and left.
"Since the young master has come to our Qingyao Mountain, why don't you go in and sit down?" The woman couldn't bear to say when she saw Ji Yun leaving with a dejected look.
When Ji Yun heard this, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his heart, and he followed the woman into the pass with a smile.
I didn't expect that this stay would last only half a year.
Later, the cavalry of Shaodian Kingdom were looking for the whereabouts of the second prince. Ji Yun then remembered that it had been more than half a year since he came out and it was time to go back.
The woman sent Ji Yun down the mountain and gave him the dragon horse. She, who was already pregnant, covered her big belly and smiled and waved to Ji Yun.
"When I go back and make it clear to my father, I will come to marry you and go home!" Ji Yun smiled and waved goodbye to the woman, and left Qingyao Mountain just like that.
In the Shaodian Kingdom, the monarch Shaodian suffered from hidden illnesses due to the battle in Juluye. With the help of the ten witches of the Wuxian Kingdom, he managed to survive for more than two thousand years, but he gradually showed signs of his next life.
Shaodian had two imperial concubines, the eldest was Nv Deng, the second was Fu Bao, and they were sisters.
Shaodian and Nv Deng had a son named Yugang, and he and Fu Bao had a son named Ji Yun.
Of the two sons, the eldest son Yugang was the most popular in the country, while Shaodian preferred the second son and intended to pass the throne to Ji Yun.
However, the leaders of the major tribes in Shaodian State mostly supported Yugang and rarely supported Ji Yun. Shaodian asked Guiyu District for government affairs, and Guiyu District said that it would be best to marry into a large tribe.
At this time, Ji Yun happened to come back and said that he wanted to marry a woman from the barren mountains in the north. The monarch Shaodian was furious, so he asked Guiyu District to cast a spell to seal Ji Yun's memory.
Before the marriage was completed, Shaodian died suddenly. Yugang took the opportunity to seize power and gained the support of most tribes. Ji Yun was then exiled to the north to open up wasteland.
After Ji Yun listened to Gui Yuqu's narration, the past events were still vivid in his mind, and his heart felt like a knife. He got up and was about to go to Qingyao Mountain to look for his child, but was stopped by Gui Yuqu.
"We have just come to the north and our foundation is not stable. We still need to consider this matter in the long term!" Gui Yuqu persuaded.
"I'm going out for some air!" Ji Yun gave up the idea of going to Qingyao Mountain, got out of the tent, and rode horseback on the wilderness.
"Look at him, don't let him do stupid things!" Guiyu said.
Guifang nodded, fetched his mount, and followed Ji Yun.
There was nothing to say for one day, but on the second day, Guiyu District invited everyone to the big tent to discuss the future development of the tribe.
"This is a rough topographic map of the surrounding areas of Juci Mountain that I drew a few days ago. It extends to Yanmen Mountain in the west, Xiuyu Mountain in the north, Qingyao Mountain in the east, and Helan Mountain in the south. There is a large piece of land in the middle with flat terrain.
, the land is fertile, and there is a big river flowing through it, so it is an excellent place for the development of the tribe. As long as we manage it carefully, I believe the tribe will grow stronger soon." Gui Yuqu said.
"There are many small tribes in the south, you can try to win over them." The vassal said.
"Liuhuang Feng's Kingdom has agreed to an alliance. We can use this as a breakthrough to establish contact with some tribes that Liuhuang Feng's Kingdom has good relations with." Shu Jun said.
"Isn't it bad to blatantly win over these tribes?" Guifang asked worriedly.
"Three thousand years have passed since the Battle of Kuruye. In order not to annoy the two holy clans, the soldiers and horses from the Golden Bull Road of the Shaodian Kingdom must be withdrawn one by one back to the pass. By then, in such a large area, the Western Queen's Mother Kingdom alone will still be able to conquer such a large area.
There are those few children left under the rule of Nuwa Kingdom.
There is definitely no way to take over all the tribes. Moreover, the Communist State is fighting for independence again, and its forces are quietly infiltrating into the Western Wilderness. So the entire Western Wilderness is now in chaos. In the name of being exiled to open up the wasteland, we are just right.
You can fish in troubled waters." Gui Zhuqu said.
Everyone was a little worried at first, but after hearing Gui Yuqu's explanation, they all felt relieved.
"The wolf tribe in the northwest discovered our settlement here some time ago. They invaded us once and took away many cattle and sheep. When I was patrolling in the past few days, I saw wild wolves checking our area many times.
Given the situation, they will definitely not give up. We are not allowed to bring a large number of weapons or armor when we come out to open up wasteland this time!" the vassal said.
"Weapons are indeed a problem!" Gui Yuqu nodded.
"Father, is this far from Kuruye?" Ghost thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask.
"There's some distance!" Guiyu said in a moment.
"Since it is an ancient battlefield, there must be a lot of weapons and armors there. My daughter can take people there to have a look!" Gui Fangyan said.
"This is a method, but even though three thousand years have passed, the hostility there is still very strong, and there is no doubt that there will be some undead strong men hiding there. If we go there like this, it will be extremely dangerous." Gui Yuqu said worriedly.
"I'm just looking for some handy weapons on the outside. I won't go inside." Gui Fangyan said.
"It seems that this is the only way!" Gui said in a moment.
