Chapter 13: We're a Band
The next morning, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, Feng Yiluan was woken up by the horse's snort, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a big black horse's face pasted in front of her without a trace, and if she woke up a little later, it was estimated that the black horse would stick out his tongue and lick her. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Feng Yiluan hurriedly jumped up to dodge, she didn't want to be washed by the horse's saliva early in the morning.
After standing up, she found that her whole body was covered with morning dew, and when the wind blew, she was so cold that she wanted to shiver.
At this time, Uncle Duanxu also woke up, he should have been woken up by her movements, Duanxu casually used an unknown spell, and Feng Yiluan's body immediately became dry and warm.
Similarly, Uncle Duanxu refused to teach her any techniques.
Feng Yiluan said sullenly and casually: "How good it is to learn the technique, ordinary people can also have more practical skills, such as not having to eat, not having to take a bath, and not being afraid of cold and warm ......."
The black horse shook the fur off his body, looked at her with mocking eyes, and ran to the river to drink water.
Feng Yiluan took out another dry food and ate some with Duanxu, and the two took advantage of the early weather to set off on the road.
Feng Yiluan wanted to give the horse to Duanxu to ride, Duanxu laughed and said, "I'm a monk, and I actually compete with a mortal girl for a horse to ride?"
So Feng Yiluan had to be very embarrassed to ride on the horse, and the two slowly walked westward, and there was no trace of the night to understand that someone was on the same road, so they no longer ran happily, which shows that they are really spiritual.
It was noon, when the sun was a little more poisonous, so the two of them stopped and sat down under the tree to rest, before they opened the package and prepared to eat and drink, when they suddenly saw several large groups of people running from the road in a hurry and confusion.
Duanxu stood up and said, "Oh no, go quickly, go back quickly, it may be that the army of the Warrior Kingdom is near." ”
As he spoke, he urged Feng Yiluan to get on the horse, and quickly picked up the package of Qin and Feng Yiluan, took the reins of the horse with one hand, and planned to turn around and walk back for a while.
In fact, the two of them could have left this place as soon as possible, but Duanxu was unwilling to ride with Feng Yiluan, thinking that it would be rude, and he could not run as fast as he could, because it would be a strange thing for a blind luthier with a piano on his back to run fast.
After walking a few steps, Feng Yiluan was a little anxious and said, "Uncle Duan, get on the horse quickly, we can run faster on the horse." ”
Duanxu shook his head violently: "No, no, I am a middle-aged man, riding a horse with a little girl, it is not polite, and the most important thing is that I am afraid that I will ruin Miss Luan's reputation, I really can't run away by yourself, I always have a way to get out." ”
Feng Yiluan was most afraid of this pedantic opinion, but she couldn't bear to leave Duanxu, and she still hoped that Duanxu could show her the way.
After hesitating, the two didn't go far before they were caught up by several ironclad cavalrymen from the forward battalion of the Warrior Army.
Several horsemen quickly chased after them, and in the blink of an eye they surrounded the two men.
Feng Yiluan rode on horseback and glared at these cavalrymen fiercely, wanting to resist with brute force, but he didn't have any weapons in his hands.
Duanxu seemed to sense her emotions and whispered to her: "Don't be impulsive and reckless, follow them first, wait and see what happens, there will always be life." ”
Feng Yiluan had no choice but to calm down when he heard this, and at the same time thought that Uncle Duanxu had rich experience in the rivers and lakes, since he could say this, he had his own reasons and plans, and there should be a way to get out of trouble skillfully.
So she jumped off her horse, led her horse, and let the ironclad cavalry drive them into the captives like cattle.
The captives were soon joined by the group, and the army rested on the open flat land by the river, preparing to cross the river in batches.
As long as you cross the river, you will enter the territory of the Hum Country. They looted like this all the way in the territory of Yueqi Kingdom, but they did not encounter a single person to stop them.
All the people who had been captured or driven away, numbering thousands, were all enclosed in circles and sat on the ground crowded together, guarded in a large circle by ironclad soldiers with spears in their hands.
The captives sat in a crowd, and for the time being, they could not die, and they sat idly idle, and began to chatte one by one. Some well-informed people talk about recent events in bits and pieces, and when it comes to the highlights, it's like telling a story, completely forgetting where everyone is.
It turned out that a few days ago, after the soldiers of the country passed around the water town, they drove straight in, and only when they arrived at the first city of the Yuelu country, they met the envoys of the monarch and the general who defended the city together with the white flag to greet them, and met under the city to sign a covenant to deliver 5 million spirit stones.
So this battle ended before it had time to fight.
Under the rule of today's dynasty, ordinary people trade with silver taels, and nobles and royal families are eligible to use spirit stones, especially this kind of covenant between vassal states, which are delivered with spirit stones.
The official price of a spirit stone is one or two gold, that is to say, ordinary people, the money they earn in a lifetime is not enough to buy a spirit stone, not to mention, the dynasty strictly prohibits people below the nobility from trading spirit stones.
When the army of the Warrior Kingdom returned, they did not take the original road they had taken when they invaded, probably because the road down from Huanshui Town had been emptied by them, so they went to Chengzhuo Ferry from the Xiaoyun Avenue in the west, and there were several large towns along the way, which could be plundered again.
In this way, the Hum Kingdom has plundered so much in the territory of the Yue Clan, and these days, to say the least, it has captured 20,000 or 30,000 people, and countless livestock and property, and the people who were surrounded here at this time were all captured this morning.
With so many people captured, the monarch and the local ministers didn't let a single fart go, and it seemed that they only hoped to let the Warriors leave the country earlier, and they didn't dare to provoke them at all, let alone take the people seriously.
As he spoke, several middle-aged men and old men scolded angrily, saying that the king was not angry, and that they would be slaves of other countries.
Feng Yiluan and Duanxu listened to these words, and from time to time they also interjected a few words to ask for details.
……
After a while, I heard an order from the general, saying that the general had an order, to camp on the spot, rest for the night, and cross the river tomorrow morning.
Soon I heard a commotion all around, and it seemed that we had begun to set up camp.
After a short while, a group of soldiers in light leather armor came to the area and began to count the prisoners.
Ordinary people, young and old, were pulled to work as coolies, pushing carts and carrying bags along the way, and if there were craftsmen, as long as they reported their skills, such as blacksmithing, carpentering, weaving and embroidery, etc., they could stay in the camp and bring them back to the country to be used as craft slaves in the general's mansion.
Seeing that the people in front of him were interrogated by the inspector one by one, they were divided into places, and soon it was their turn.
When a soldier yelled at the people on their side to stand up, Uncle Duanxu got up and led the horse for Feng Yiluan, and whispered to her again: "Don't move for a while, no matter what happens, don't be impulsive and don't resist." Otherwise, I'm afraid that the people around me will have to put their lives into it. ”
Feng Yiluan nodded.
The two of them walked forward in the crowd, and when it was their turn, they only heard the deputy of the inspector look at Duanxu and say:
"Hmph, this old cripple is useless, pull it and kill it, this horse looks good, you can stay. ”
As soon as Feng Yiluan heard this, he was a little anxious for Duanxu. But I heard Uncle Duanxu say: "The military master spares his life, we are just ordinary people." ”
He originally spoke in a straight and round manner, but at this time, this opening of his mouth actually brought out the accent of Yue's country, and he learned very similarly.
Feng Yiluan said in his heart, uncle's life-saving skills are really many.
Seeing Duanxu pretending to be very pitiful, he suddenly trembled and knelt on the ground, completely an honest man rolling in the soil, and begged: "The military master will leave a life, I heard that the general likes to listen to music, and I can't hide it, the two of us are going to the rivers and lakes to perform arts, and we can play some miscellaneous songs, and I can also play a few songs, and I hope that the military master will leave a life, so that we can enjoy a few songs at the banquet, and we will not starve to death." ”
The inspector laughed, raised his leg and kicked him, and said, "You dead dog-like thing, seeing that you are carrying the piano on your back, and if you don't speak earlier, you understand that you want to die." All right, the men took them to the camp of the captives, and the horses stayed. ”
