The third month after the discovery of the stone tablet engraved with ancient Khitan characters, the fourth prince, Wan Yan Su, had set out with a mighty team, starting with a team of hard trained cavalry, which was awarded to him by the Great Khan of Beidi. Yan Su put the cavalry in the front of him, not only for prestige, but also for opening up when it is critical. In other words, it is minesweeping.
"Minesweeping means that if there is any danger, let this group of people die first and wake up for those behind." Leng Changxi explained the terms to Qin yunuan carefully. In order to show that Leng Changxi and Qin yunuan are distinguished guests, Wanyan Su originally prepared a very comfortable carriage for them, but Qin yunuan refused. A woman with white gauze bound eyes rode a high horse on the street, which attracted people's attention.
Qin yunuan didn't care. She listened carefully to Leng Changxi describe the team.
"There are about 170 people, along with Yaqi, who is sent to take care of you, and there are only seven women."
"Seven women?" Qin yunuan's tone is slightly raised, which seems a little surprised. This number is a little more for a team going to such a dangerous place.
Yaqi is going to take care of herself. It must be. What about the other six?
"The other six were all sent out by the palace. They said they were maids serving in the procession along the road."
Handmaid? Qin yunuan is very clear in his heart, but it's just that I want to meet the vigorous and endless animal desire of these young men. Qin yunuan can't say anything, because such a situation is very normal for Beidi, and such an arrangement is also very intimate for these generals who risk their lives to find treasure for Beidi.
All the way, Qin Yuwen was wrapped in a thick white gauze, so that he could barely escape the attack of the big green bean sand. In the evening, it was not too early. The leading soldiers pointed to the front of the house in the long yellow sand and said: "Your Highness, there is a village in the front, you can have a rest for a while."
Wanyan Su also felt a little unprepared for the yellow sand in the sky. He ordered to move towards the village at full speed.
When Qin yunuan was driving his horse, he happened to see a palace maid who was walking in front of him accidentally fall down. Fortunately, she was supported by a general beside her. But instead of thanking her, she showed a disgusting look, pushed the general away, even took pictures of the place where he had helped her.
Qin yunuan left his heart behind and continued to run with the team towards the village in the distance. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, although the sandstorm stopped, the sun had already set. Only two isolated stone tablets standing at the entrance of the village stood as a landmark existence.
"Tamer village." Yan Su looked at the vague handwriting and said, "it seems that our march is very smooth. If we go down at this speed, we can go to savage valley the day after tomorrow."
The savage Valley is not far from Beidi, but there are few posts and villages along the way. In addition to the terrible legend about the savage Valley, few people dare to step into that place. This village is already the nearest village across the savage Valley, and there is no other place to live.
"Savage Valley? Are you going to savage Valley? " After hearing Yan Su's words, a little old man in grey cloth and cotton padded clothes suddenly fell down from behind the stone tablet and sat down. He appeared so suddenly and lifeless that people always doubted whether he had been stuck on the stone tablet before.
"Old man." Wanyan Su dismounts and picks up the old man who fell to the ground.
But the old man pushed away Yan Su ungratefully, and retreated three feet: "go away, you crazy people, how can you think of going to such a terrible place?"
Wanyan Su smiled and tried to make a gentle smile: "old man, we are ordered by the Khan, just want to ask, is there any place in your village where we can rest temporarily?"
The old man waved his hand and spat on the ground: "no, there is no inn in our village. You are more than the people in our village. Where you can live, where you come from, where you go, don't come to this ghost place."
Wanyan Su reached for a stop and said with a smile, "it's such an old man. We don't want to disturb the rest of the village, but we have come all the way. The water in the kettle is gone, and we want to buy some water in the village, so we can save lives. Do you think that's good?"
The old man just wanted to shake his head and refuse, but suddenly a young man sprang up behind the old man. He was not tall, thin and thin. His eyes were black and full of verve. Such a figure was rare in Beidi. Most of the men in Beidi were big, big, brave and fierce.
"I'm sorry," the young man explained hurriedly. "My father is a bit old and confused. He is rude to you. Well, there is a well in our village. But at this time, some people have rested. In order not to disturb the rest of the people in the village, I'd like to ask you to send two people to carry water with me. If you don't mind, there is still a well in my family Some buns in stock. "
"All right." Wanyan Su turns around and lets the team set up a camp five li away from the village. There is a poplar forest which is sparse but can also cover the sand and the sun. It looks strange and strange in the increasingly dark of the night. It's a kind of unspeakable fear.More than 170 people camped on the spot, and two strong and strong men were selected by Yan Su. They watched the two smart generals follow the young man in the village to carry water. Before leaving, they made a scene for the two of them, which means they were smart enough to act on their own initiative in the village and try to get some favorable information.
Qin yunuan sits next to an old poplar tree root and takes over the Niujiao water pot delivered by Leng Changxi. Yaqi is sorting out the wrapped pancakes, breaking them into small pieces for Qin yunuan, and then hands them to Qin yunuan on the white pad.
Qin yunuan chews some hard pancakes carefully, and his nose has been sensitive to the information from the air.
"There's something wrong with this poplar forest." Qin yunuan bent his head and bit the crisp edge of the pancake. He said softly, as if he was not surprised.
Leng Changxi sat down and watered his mouth: "I also think that after a day's exposure, the roots of the poplar trees here are still wet. It can only be said that someone has watered the poplar trees. The nearest village here is the one where the poplar trees grow naturally. If someone has to carry water from five miles away to water them, it's just It can be said that the poplar forest here is just planted. "
"I think so too," Qin yunuan continued, "but it's not because of the poplar trees, but the village itself," Qin said, looking at Leng Changxi. "Any place where people live will have a smell of oil smoke, but the air of tamer village is very pure."
"Maybe it was the strong wind that blew the smell away?" Jackie added.
"Jackie, you have to believe in my nose. It's never wrong."
Yaqi shrinks her neck and takes a piece of pancake from Qin yunuan. At the same time, there is a man's loud shout and roar on the other side of the camp. It's the North Di language with dirty words, which makes Qin yunuan, who has gradually mastered the language, frown.
The cheerers over there also noticed this side. They looked at Qin yunuan cautiously. Then they dragged the palace maids surrounded by them into the tree forest. It seemed that they were going to do something. Qin yunuan didn't stop him. He just turned sideways to avoid hearing the noise from the forest. Once the palace maids followed the army, they would probably know that Dao's mission is to make these men happy, but the only one who resists is to leave. She uses both hands and feet, lowers her head and drags her soldiers to resist.
"Go away, are you pickles worthy of touching me?" This woman has a big voice.
But then, the seemingly chaste words immediately ushered in a slap from the soldier. The red fingerprints didn't seem to be enough to make him angry. He grabbed the woman's hair and roared, "it's just a bitch. What's the height?"
When the broken hair on the woman's forehead was all turned to her ears, and her beautiful and indifferent face was completely exposed in the air, Qin Yuwen and Leng Changxi could not help but clapping.
"Stop, what are you doing?" After Yan Su appeared in time, he put his arm around the abused woman and caressed the hot five fingers on her face, "Yasu, why are you here?"
That's right. It was Yasu, the side concubine of the fourth Prince's mansion, who was paid attention to by Qin yunuan because of her wrestling and disliked her soldiers.
The bodyguard of the fourth Prince scolded the soldier immediately: "this is the side concubines of our fourth Prince's mansion. You have dirty hands and feet one by one. Even if you are accompanied by the Khan, if you collide with the side concubines, you will not be able to pay for your life alone."
The soldier knelt down with trembling knees, and finally Yan Su hurriedly took Yasu, who was shivering, to one side and sat down. Qin yunuan handed over the kettle with half a kettle of oxhorn water, and then he heard the two men's intermittent conversation.
"Why are you here? I still hid in the procession and dressed as a palace maid. I didn't recognize you when I saw this face painted. "
"Your Highness, I've figured it out. I'd better go with you in case you have a There is a long one and a short one, and I have a bottom in my heart. "
It was the words of the two men that the bodyguard came to ask how to deal with the impolite soldier of the opposite concubine just now. After Yan Su hesitated, after all, it was the reward from the Khan. He was not good enough to give up.
"What else can I do? It's natural to do it on the spot. " Leng Changxi's voice is very thin and clear without any human feelings.
