"why not."
"Instead of giving all this silver to that idiot named Jiang Tian, we should divide it all equally."
"General, you did not expect us to do everything according to the wishes of these Xianbei people."
"The reason why Your Excellency the General has come to the Xianbei this time is to destroy their country, seize their women and land, and take their cattle and sheep."
The Russian soldiers grew increasingly agitated as they spoke.
The wolf guards watched the Rakshasa soldiers with great vigilance.
“Brothers, be careful, they are very likely to rebel.”
“They’ve run out of food, and they might just kill us all, horses and all.”
"The carriage was full of gleaming silver, and I could see nothing but greed in their eyes."
Each of these wolf guards drew their swords.
However, at the moment they drew their knives...
The soldiers of the Rakshasa Kingdom had already decided to take action.
A cacophony of gunshots rang out.
These wolf guards fought desperately, but they...
Even with all their might, they only managed to kill two Rakshasa soldiers.
However, all of these dozens of wolf guards were riddled with bullets on the spot.
Several wolf guards ran several hundred meters, but they were still caught up by the Rakshasa soldiers.
These Rakshasa soldiers showed no mercy.
Fortunately, these wolf guards and Murong Chui had agreed beforehand that if anything happened to them, they would release carrier pigeons before they died.
The message tied to the pigeon's leg was written beforehand.
The carrier pigeon soared into the sky and headed straight for the Xianbei capital.
The Russian soldiers paid no attention to the carrier pigeons flying back.
To these Russian soldiers, even if a carrier pigeon safely delivered the message back, it would be a disaster.
Murong Chui didn't dare to do anything to them.
Within the Xianbei capital, soldiers from the Rakshasa Kingdom were everywhere.
If these Russian soldiers act in unison, the garrison in the imperial city would be no match for them.
"Look, everyone! The carriage is full of gleaming silver."
"It is said that there are more than 5 million taels of silver. Now all of these 5 million taels of silver belong to us."
"There are over 1,000 of us. You calculate how many taels of silver each of us will receive."
The Russian soldiers unloaded all the boxes of silver from the cart.
Each person received a chest of silver.
They were all beaming with joy, completely ecstatic.
"Gentlemen, now that we have the silver, there is no need for us to send any more."
"Roast and eat all these wolf guards, men and horses."
Soon, these Russian soldiers sprang into action.
They found a firewood rack and set up a large pot.
Some people fished out hooks from the firewood.
The Russian soldiers skinned and butchered their warhorses.
"Dissect the bodies of these wolf guards as well, making sure not a single piece of flesh is wasted."
After all, we need to get to the Xianbei capital, and that journey will take at least five or six days.
Upon hearing this, the group sprang into action. They not only dismembered the dozens of warhorses, but also cut the bodies of the dozens of wolf guards to pieces.
These wolf guards never expected that they would all die before they even reached their destination.
Soon, a raging fire broke out.
The horse meat simmering in the pot quickly came to a boil.
Horse legs and ribs hanging from iron hooks were quickly roasted until they were charred on the outside and tender on the inside under the raging fire.
A fragrant aroma wafted over.
The fat from the grilled meat dripped into the charcoal fire, drop by drop.
The flames on the charcoal fire were getting smaller and smaller. When the grease was lifted onto the dying flames, the flames suddenly ignited.
The Russian soldiers gathered together, took out wine, and ate the meat with great joy.
"Have you all eaten? Are we really going back now?" asked Gregory, a soldier from the Russian Kingdom.
"Five thousand taels of silver is enough for each of our more than 1,000 people."
“No, no, no, that’s far from enough,” Gregory took a swig of strong liquor. “Now I understand, how could our destination be short of silver?”
"I think each of us should have at least 50,000 taels of silver."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They ate the horse meat with gusto while looking towards the capital.
“With the muskets and cannons we have, dealing with those barbarians in the capital shouldn’t be a problem,” Melekhov said. “No matter how much money we plunder, we don’t need to hand it over to His Excellency the General.”
Grigory stood up: "Melekhov is right. When we go to the Khitan capital, no matter how much money we plunder, it will all be ours."
I've heard that the Khitan's capital, Shangjing, was even more prosperous than the Xianbei's imperial city.
"Let's go there and kill and burn."
"Let's go, kill, burn, rob, and steal women!" the Russian soldiers shouted with laughter.
A white eagle circled above the heads of these Russian soldiers.
After the Rakshasa soldiers finished eating, they quickly regrouped.
"Gentlemen, there is a city ahead."
"Let's go there and loot it properly first."
"Let's go..." The group quickly mounted their horses and headed straight for Snow Wolf City in the distance.
...
Snow Wolf City is guarded by Nalan Jingyu.
The young master of the Nalan tribe moved tens of thousands of people from the Nalan tribe into Snow Wolf City.
Snow Wolf City was teeming with life.
The city already had excellent facilities, allowing the Nalan tribe to escape the wind and snow. Moreover, they brought all their cattle and sheep into the city.
This was the first time the Nalan tribe had lived in a city.
Everyone's face was filled with laughter and joy.
Nalan Jingyu stood atop the city wall, holding the telescope Jiang Tian had given him, and looked into the distance.
On the city wall, 1,000 soldiers from the Nalan tribe patrolled back and forth.
Nalan Jingyu let out a long sigh.
"Young Master, are you missing the Little Princess again?"
Nalan Jingyu nodded. It had been two or three months since Nalan Yunyue followed Jiang Tian straight to the Khitan capital.
For the next two or three months, Nalan Jingyu and her brother did not see each other again.
“Young Master, the snowstorm has stopped. You can take your men to the Khitan capital.”
Nalan Jingyu shook his head, his gaze resolute: "No, I must stay here and protect my people."
"Whether they are Khitans or Xianbeis, they all want to kill our men and take our women and livestock."
"Besides, my sister will be fine with Lord Jiang." Nalan Jingyu trusted Jiang Tian completely.
“Our tribe needs to strengthen its training. Lord Jiang said he is very likely to destroy the Khitan. As long as Lord Jiang launches a war against the Khitan, our Nalan tribe will certainly do our duty and support him with all our might.”
The soldiers guarding the city wall nodded.
The wind grew stronger and stronger, and the sky became covered with dark clouds.
