One year brought a great drought, the next year floods, and then, in a blink, a plague.
The Xu family fled from the north to the south, and then from the south back to the north.
Before...
"Player, please be careful, a group of snow wolves are surrounding us nearby." The treasure chest detected the danger, and when it told Xu Ning, the secret guard also discovered something was wrong nearby.
The rustling sound was very slight, but the secret guards were all sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, and they quickly became alert when they heard the sound.
Jiang Yan also moved closer, almost holding Xu Ning in his arms.
Xu Ning used his body to block the attack and took out two long electric batons.
The Snow Wolf's encirclement was shrinking, and the secret guards had formed a circle to protect the two masters in the middle.
The snow wolves seemed to have realized that their whereabouts had been exposed, so they stopped sneaking around and emerged directly from the snow, getting closer and closer until they all leaped towards the crowd.
"Bao, where is the alpha wolf?" Such regular sneak attacks indicate that these snow wolves are controlled by the alpha wolf.
"Player, the alpha wolf is watching in the forest over there. Player, I have another piece of news for you: these snow wolves are captive, and the person who captivates them is right next to the alpha wolf!"
"What?!" Xu Ning looked at the pitch-black forest. She didn't expect that there were enemies hiding on this high mountain.
Xu Ning quickly took out the red temperature detection glasses and put them on again. Sure enough, he saw a few people in the forest in the distance!
The smell of blood around gradually became stronger. Snow wolves were constantly being killed, and some secret guards were injured.
Xu Ning had to think deeper, "Bao, were those people originally stationed on this mountain, or did they follow us here?"
"They were originally stationed on the mountain. They are from further north, the ones who often rob people." After Baibaoxiang said this, Xu Ning probably guessed the purpose of these people hiding in the mountain.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and every household will prepare a lot of food for the New Year. It is a good time for them to grab food!
"How did they sneak past the border? Did they sneak in from the mountains?" Xu Ning frowned. How come these people are not afraid of fighting?
"Yes, players. They are good at living in the wild. They also brought these snow wolves from the plains."
No wonder…
"Jiang Shaoheng, there are people on that mountain!" Xu Ning put the glasses on Jiang Yan's head and asked him to look towards the forest!
The secret guards were more powerful, and the snow wolf began to retreat.
After seeing the human figures in the forest, Jiang Yan quickly guessed the origins of these snow wolves.
"Awooo~" Following the call of the leader wolf, the surviving snow wolves all retreated.
Jiang Yan did not ask the secret guards to chase after him, but decisively led his men and the dead wolf down the mountain that night.
When he returned to the mountain, he didn't stop and just got on his horse and left.
When Jiang Yan sent people to search the mountain again, they found that those people and the snow wolves were gone.
"Jiang Shaoheng, if they can raise wolves, we can also raise dogs. Dogs have the most sensitive noses, and we can find the target faster by taking dogs with us!" Xu Ning suggested that Jiang Yan raise a group of dogs. Jiang Yan thought it was very useful after hearing it, and immediately gave the order.
But a few dogs like this aren't a solution. Those northerners come to rob us from time to time, aren't they just relying on the fact that we can't stop them? Xu Ning suddenly thought of the Great Wall in history and felt that after the Daqing Dynasty developed to a certain level, he could also build one and try it out!
But building the Great Wall is extremely labor-intensive and costly, unless it's mechanized. Currently, the best person in Daqing is Xu An, and Jiangyan is still a complete outsider. It's obviously unrealistic to have Xu An do it all on his own, but...
"Jiang Shaoheng, have you ever thought about training a group of special talents?"
