Chapter 251: Sacrifice
It is important to learn a foreign language well.
This is the only thought of Hermulan at this moment.
'What the hell are these people doing here......' was already noisy by the gurgling voices of everyone in the tent, and he didn't know what to do, and he sincerely raised a kind of "Am I being ignored?" ideas.
It stands to reason that the Rouran people have made so much effort to come here, and the number of people is dominant, and when they see her such a sick cat, they should be cut with a knife.
Why didn't you even check it?
I went straight to my leftovers.
Also drank water until the fight......
He Mulan quietly moved his left leg, and found that it was still painful to want to move, and it was definitely no fun to get out of bed and take the opportunity to run.
[There is nothing else to eat in this man's tent, it is all grass! γ
A Rouran man, who was still angry with his companion for swallowing water alone, after knowing what was in the jar, completely lost his anger and gloated.
[Looks like he's a dying guy, no one cares anymore!] γ
This is the original big tent left by the Rouran people, although He Mulan lived in the main tent, but Tuoba Tao had his own leather room tent, this place because the tent is the most solid, so it became the residence of the wounded soldiers, but there is no Tuoba Tao after the king tent is heavily guarded.
Although He Mulan has repeatedly made great contributions, today's military achievements should be a very scary achievement, but at this moment, the war is not over, and all the generals have not been rewarded for their merits, so He Mullan is also a middle-level general, and he has not yet reached the level of Kumoti or even Xia Hong.
In the right army, He Mullan may be a general with outstanding status, but in the entire army of the Northern Expedition, she is just a young man with a bright future, and she is not worthy of being protected during the period of recuperation.
Rouran thought that she should have died of injuries, so no one cared about him, and this was not wrong. Because if he was a big man, it would be impossible for these people to sneak in and take him hostage.
The Xianbei people are not good people who talk about benevolence and etiquette, and they may still have some humanity in treating the surrendered Rouran old people, but for these Rouran people who were captured in the war, even if they did not beat and scold them at every turn, they used up their food and water to eat and drink.
When the Wei army went on the expedition, the grain and grass were originally limited, and even if they got a large number of cattle, sheep and horses for food, they would not slaughter these animals and feed them to the Rouran people, so the Rouran people who were imprisoned here were hungry and thirsty, and some even fainted with hunger.
At this time, the captives who fled into Hemulan's tent only thought that they could find a sexual drink supplement and then take the opportunity to escape.
[Have you smelled any fragrance......]
A soft man shrugged his nose.
[What is so fragrant?] γ
[It's so fragrant, it seems to be a hot cow's tongue? γ
As he guessed uncertainly, a clear swallowing sound came from inside the tent.
It smells so good......
Not good!
Naturally, Hemulan also smelled this smell, in fact, the best Helian Mingzhu made was the grilled dishes, which probably had something to do with the fact that she was a Huns.
Although she also makes Han dim sum very well, but in this prairie, even if she wants to show her skills, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
He Mulan didn't wait for the peanuts to fetch water, but "Zhao Ming", who prepared lunch for her, came first!
"What about people? What's going on? Where are the keepers of the king's tent?"
Helian Mingzhu paused at the door of the extraordinarily quiet tent, and a trace of uneasiness rose in his heart.
She knew that the group of people who were riding on the tiger were the ones who ordered Mulan to leave and rest for a while, and they wouldn't leave, and there was no guard for no reason......
[Come in, come in!] γ
The Rouran man muttered quietly as he swallowed his saliva.
γBring us the food ......γ
"You, go in and have a look."
Helian Mingzhu is now a Yellow Gate Order, and there are several small eunuchs under him. She went to prepare dishes for Hermulan, and it was not always herself who carried the small table and food, and there was a little eunuch who was pointed out by her to enter the tent to have a look, and suddenly showed an ugly expression.
But Helian Mingzhu is the boss, he can't retreat, so he can only grit his teeth, grab the food box in his hand and poke his head into the tent.
This exploration suddenly scared him half to death!
Where can I see General Hua in the tent? More than a dozen Rouran people are staring at themselves, swallowing saliva, and looking at themselves with cannibalistic expressions!
The little eunuch shouted, "There are Rouran people in the tent", and he was about to flee, but he was dragged in by the Rouran people who had been ambushed in the tent for a long time, knocked him to death with a heavy weapon, and snatched the meal box!
As soon as Helian Mingzhu heard the little eunuch's shout, he knew in his heart that something terrible must have happened in the tent! She is a woman who doesn't know any martial arts, and the other little eunuch is also powerless, and she doesn't even have a way to protect herself, so she just thought about it a little and immediately stomped her foot:
"General Hua should be restrained, let's go find help!"
didn't hesitate at the moment, the two of them threw away the food in their hands, and ran away.
[Brother Wulu, what should I do now? Those guys ran away! γ
A Rouran man got out of the king's tent, picked up all the food that had fallen on the ground, and said with a bitter face: "They must have gone to report the news! γ
At this time, these hungry Rouran people still cared about what he was talking about, and saw that the food box and the small table where the dishes were placed were full of food, a group. [,οΌ People immediately came around, you grab the cow's tongue and I grab the gruel, the food box is overturned, and the digestible rice porridge contained in it is naturally sprinkled all over the bottom of the box, these Rouran people have never eaten "rice" in their lives, even if it is sprinkled like that, there is also a person who lifts the food box and licks the bottom of the box clean.
As for the various dishes carefully prepared by Helian Mingzhu, they were also snatched clean after they beat them up.
Not to mention these people, it was He Mulan who heard the sound of them eating and drinking on the sickbed, and his stomach rumbled a few times, fortunately, these people were still noisy and noisy, otherwise hearing this sound, He Mullan's pretending to be asleep would be exposed at once.
[I finally got something decent. What is that grain? It's delicious......]
The man who licked the bottom of the box seemed to be still savoring the taste, sticking out his tongue and circling around his mouth. The rice was boiled in the mouth by Helian Mingzhu adding beef liver and fresh sheep soup, and the man only licked it slightly, and he felt that his tongue had melted.
[Xianbei people sit on a large area of fertile soil, and it is not uncommon to eat anything, which is like us, when we are hungry, we don't have cow dung to eat! A few Rouran people who didn't grab any food snorted coldly, and looked at He Mulan on the sickbed with fierce eyes.
[Although there are few things, I have the strength to eat a little, this person is a burden, let's kill him and escape quickly! ] γ
Escaping all the way from the prison tent, seeing the heavily guarded appearance of the entire camp, they have no confidence to escape at all, and it is also a beautiful imagination to want to find a "big man" Yunyun, and finally find such a "big man" who can't even walk, and it doesn't seem to be an important role, they can almost see their tragic end.
Instead of this, it is better to be a full ghost, slaughter this sick cat, and have a burial!
A soft man was bold, grabbed the knife that cut the tongue of the ox, and walked towards Hermulan, who was lying inward.
It's just that the footsteps are still soft, and there is obviously no confidence.
[Don't rub it in, kill us and leave!] Those few people don't know how many people they brought back! γ
"Who are you going to kill!"
After a lifetime of drinking, he rushed into the tent with a peanut in a basin of water and screamed.
He, like Helian Mingzhu, found that the situation was wrong after returning to the king's tent, but he really couldn't rest assured that He Mulan in the tent was in his heart, and when he heard someone inside saying "kill and leave" in a soft language, he was in a hurry and immediately rushed in.
At this time, I saw the difference between Helian Pearl and Peanut.
Peanut knew in his heart that there must be a Rouran person here, and he could kill all the guards, he must not be their opponent, but because he was anxious about Hemulan's safety, he was desperate to stop them from harming Hemulan.
And Helian Mingzhu is evacuating after knowing that he can't do anything, and goes to find help, even if he can't save Hemulan, he can't put everyone here.
Which one is more sensible, this is a matter of opinion, but in the case of He Mulan at this moment, I really can't wait to kiss peanuts a few times!
From the moment someone started approaching him, she was ready to do her best!
Peanut wasn't sure if the Rouran people inside would say Xianbei words, but he knew that He Mulan was awake when he went out to fetch water, and He Mulan didn't make a sound at all at this time, either showing weakness or having been subdued, no matter which one it was, Peanut knew that his master had no power to resist now.
He ran into the tent, and when he saw so many worms inside, he was at first terrified, and then when he saw someone carrying a knife walking towards his master, he immediately shouted in Xianbei dialect:
"Master, someone is going to kill you!"
He was a slave in the death camp of the Rouran people, and after Xianbei finished speaking, he shouted again in Rouran's words: "Who are you? Why did you come here?"
These Rouran people in the camp of the Xianbei people, the language is not clear, they do not speak, they are hungry, thirsty, tired and afraid, and when they hear the familiar language, they first have a good impression of peanuts.
At least we can communicate.
Peanut was still holding the basin, and felt that he looked stupid, and just wanted to throw the basin away to fight, when he saw a soft man looking at the basin in his hand without blinking, and shouted: "It's water! It must be water, not urine! Lao Tzu is dying of thirst, good boy, you put down the basin, you give us the water to drink, we will spare your life! γ
Want to drink water?
Peanut saw everyone looking at the copper basin in their hands, and their hearts couldn't help but move.
He has been in Rouran for a long time, and he knows that most Rouran men are straightforward, and there are no twists and turns, what do they want or think, they generally say it directly, and they will never play any slippery heads.
What's more, now that they are stronger than others, they don't need to have any tricks with them, more than a dozen people, one person can tear him apart!
Peanut can survive in the death camp, not just by being able to fight and kill, he turned in his mind, and immediately made a scared look: [Are you also Rouran people? Do you want to drink water? γ
As soon as he said this, the others immediately showed joy: [You are also a Rouran person? Yes, we are dying of thirst, and you will give us that basin of water to drink? γ
'If I had known there were these wicked people inside, I would have poisoned them in the water!' β
Peanut thought viciously in his heart, but nodded again and again: [Don't hurt me, I am also a Rouran person, I am a slave, and I was captured by the Xianbei people to do hard labor! γ
As he spoke, he lowered the basin to the ground and tore open the placket to show them.
A ring-shaped brand on his chest is the mark that the Rouran people gave to their slaves.
Peanuts were still small when they were branded with this mark, and they almost died of pain, and then they burned for many days. [,οΌ It was all his mother's care that survived.
His memories of his childhood are extremely vague, and only the pain of this imprint seems to remain in his mind.
On weekdays, he never leaves his shirt open, and at this time, in order to paralyze the enemy, he has to show his identity.
He Mulan only heard the footsteps around him suddenly paused slightly, and then went in another direction, the footsteps went faster and faster, and then shouted something, and finally only heard the "stinging and stinging" sound of a group of people drinking water, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart.
It turned out that the purpose of not giving food and drink to the captives was to weaken their bodies, so that they could not make trouble, and they would not be able to walk much hungry if they escaped.
At this time, they knew that the delay would not end well, but they were hungry and uncomfortable, and after eating food, they became even thirstier, and in order to meet the most basic needs of human beings, they really didn't even want to die.
Fortunately, she asked Peanut to go and fetch her a basin of cold water to wipe her body, if he came back empty-handed, I am afraid that at this time, he would have been murdered like those people before, right?
Hateful!
He Mullan gritted his teeth.
She is useless like a waste, and she has to rely on the ideas of her subordinates to survive!
Peanut saw that these people were like wild dogs in the basin and drank water, and after a while, the basin was drunk by them, and he couldn't help but glance at He Mulan quietly.
He Mulan was lying motionless, his head twisted to his back to them, but one hand was hidden in the sheet, not knowing what he was doing.
Peanut has been serving He Mulan for a long time, knowing that she is by no means asleep like this, but quietly taking precautions, her heart immediately relaxed, and continued in soft words:
What are you doing here? This man used to be a fierce general, but now he is not far from death, you are a prisoner, right? You should run away at this time! γ
[I'll just say it's not an important person!] Kill! γ
A Rouran man stood up after drinking a few sips of water and patted Peanut on the shoulder: [Thank you for reminding us, otherwise, run away with us? γ
These Rouran people are all free herdsmen, and they usually look down on slaves, and they invite him to go with them not for good intentions, but because they expect that this slave was captured early, maybe they know the movements of the Wei army, and they want to "invite" them to go out together, so as to be a guide.
In fact, it has not been a few days since Peanut came, and this is still the camp tent left by the Rouran people before, where do you know what? He knew this situation, he didn't want to go, he had to be taken away, so he simply put it together, glanced at He Mullan, and then said:
[You don't know, I was tortured by this person so badly, I wanted to leave a long time ago. But it's heavily guarded, and you can't run away. If you escape, the Xianbei people will definitely search one tent after another, and sooner or later they will search here, so it's better to ......]
He looked at a group of men who listened to his nonsense, [The miscellaneous tent where I live is full of Rouran people, or follow me to the place where I live, pretend to be a slave for a few days, and when you get to other places, you are thinking about escaping! γ
Peanut is talking nonsense with his eyes open, he eats and lives with Hemulan, where does he live in a miscellaneous account?
It's just a matter of stalling for time and waiting for an opportunity to transfer them away from Mullan.
His tone was sincere, and when a few Rouran people heard that there was still a chance to live, their eyes immediately lit up, and they pulled him to leave, not wanting to delay for a moment.
The others did the same, almost forgetting about the living dead who was still lying there, Hermulan.
Only the middle-aged man they called "Big Brother Wulu" frowned slightly, and asked the man who had gone to kill He Mulan before to ask for a dinner knife and handed it to Peanut.
[We Rouran people have revenge, since he tortured you, you go and kill him, let's go again. γ
He still had some doubts in his heart.
Peanut's back was already wet, but his face was as usual, and he reached out and withdrew the knife.
[Don't. γ
[What? γ
[You kid is really dishonest! γ
[Xianbei people are the same as us, the master is dead, and all slaves must be buried. You still want me to help cover it up, and if he dies, I will be dragged out of the miscellaneous tent and burned alive. Peanut said expressionlessly: "I helped you because of the affection of the same clan, but you want to kill me, I won't do it. If I die, and you have no acquaintance in the servants' tents, you will be denounced immediately, or you will starve to death of thirst. γ
He knew that these people should be hungry and thirsty, so he deliberately said what they were most afraid of.
[Wulu, don't rub it in, there are too many Xianbei people, they will all come in a while! ] γ
The desire of several Rouran people to survive became stronger and stronger as they had something in their wombs.
[It's only right to go first now!] γ
No matter how suspicious the person named Wulu is, he can't withstand the expectant eyes of so many people, so he grabbed the dinner knife and hesitated for a blink of an eye, nodded and said: "Let's go! γ
A group of people left the king's tent with Peanut in an instant, leaving only Hermulan, who didn't know what was happening, silently put the dagger β‘β‘ the bandage around his waist, and his eyes were moist.
Although she didn't know what was going on, Peanut would definitely not harm her, and she must have tried to trick people away.
Once these people know that Peanut is a lie, he is unarmed, and what will happen to him if he falls into the hands of such a group of people, you can imagine.
Helian Mingzhu's speed was indeed fast, and after a while, she found a rescuer, led by Qiu Lin Mozhen, the general of the Fu Army of the Right Army.
Qiu Lin Mo Zhen will say some soft words, and he doesn't know what is going on inside at first. [,οΌ Outside the tent, he shouted a few times in Xianbei and Rouran, which was nothing more than surrendering and sparing a life.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he shouted a few times, he heard Mulan inside say, "They have all been cheated away, come in."
Qiu Lin Mo Zhen was worried that the Mulan inside was being held hostage and had to say this, he asked several times, and when he heard that there was indeed no movement inside, he asked people to carefully open the curtain first, and saw that there were no Rouran people inside, only the corpses of a few guards and a small eunuch lying on the ground, and the mess of the tent, as if it had been arched by a wild boar.
He Mulan was half lying on the sickbed with a pale face, sat up with one hand on the side of the wound on his lower back, and shouted to Qiu Linmozhen:
"I'm okay here, ask General Chulin for a favor, my slave Peanut was taken away by them, please help me get him back!"
Qiu Lin, Mo Zhen and the others were immediately relieved to see that He Mulan was fine. In this big battalion, except for the people of the right army, there are few people who can value Mulan like this. She is just a general who has just emerged, not as good as a famous general, even if she really dies here, most people will only say "God is jealous of talents".
Qiu Lin Mo Zhen owed her a favor before, and he was very close to her, so he put down the matter of searching for other captives and ran to help.
Before, all the people with some status were strictly guarded, and most of the people left in the prison tent were insignificant pawns, but one of these pawns ran away, and before they ran, they also put the people in the same prison tent to create chaos, this chaos is not big or small, there are many defenders in the camp, and they must not be able to run away, but it just adds a lot of trouble.
Compared to these troubles, Qiu Lin Mo Zhen must care more about the Mulan of the right army.
But if you want to let him down his duties for the sake of a slave, it is time to weigh it.
No matter how straight He Mulan is, he has also been tempered after arriving in this ancient world, she glanced at everyone slightly, and saw that they did not think so, and some were puzzled, and she couldn't help but feel sad for the values of this era that do not treat slaves as human beings.
She solemnly said to Qiu Lin Mo Zhen: "In order to save me, my loyal servant used himself as bait to deceive that group of Rouran people, and when they find out that it is a fraud, he will definitely not survive. I can't let innocent people die for me, but I can't even get out of bed now, so I can only ask the general to help me. Anyway, the general is going to search for these people, so he will do me a favor by the way when he is looking for fugitives......"
When she said that later, she felt that Peanuts were dying, and she couldn't help but look sad.
"If the general can save the peanut, I owe you a favor, and I will repay it in the future!"
'In the previous life, Hua Mulan raised your son for ten years, and I also helped your family, although this life has nothing to do with it, and the friendship with you is not as deep as that of Hua Mulan in the previous life, but if God really has eyes, please open your eyes and save the peanut for life! β
'He's not an adult!' β
Qiu Lin Mo Zhen didn't feel that it was an obligation for a slave to work hard for his master, but he just felt that even if he chased Peanut at this moment, he would not be able to survive at this moment, after all, the army would not agree to the conditions of a fugitive for a slave.
But He Mullan's pleading was so solemn that he even said "I will repay her in the future", so he naturally would not lose her face.
"Since the general insists, then let's go and find it."
Qiu Lin Mo Zhen nodded, and led the people to find the traces of the departure of this group of Rouran people.
"Which brother can please carry me!"
He Mullan really couldn't bear the weight of a man dying for him.
Since her rebirth, although there have been ups and downs along the way, she has never hurt anyone, even if the baby was strangled to death by the old man of the same clan before she cried a few times, it was also because Rouran was too afraid, not her fault, so although she was sad and depressed in her heart, she couldn't be called guilty.
But this time Peanut had to have a case, she must not be able to forgive herself.
Because of her status as a woman, she didn't let too many people protect her, and she didn't let people stay in the tent, so that it ended up now, if she was really a man......
Then even if he was injured, it would be impossible for these deserters to rush into the pro-soldier formation that was defending the layers, right?
"General Hua, you have an injury, the Taoist chief will let you recuperate......"
Several Wei soldiers looked at Qiu Lin Mo Zhen with inquiring eyes, this main general did not speak, and they did not dare to touch this Huwei general casually.
And Qiu Lin Mo Zhen was obviously reluctant to be suspected of Mulan.
"It's okay, with you protecting me, what can I do? I just don't move." He Mulan arched his hand on the sickbed.
"The laborer carries me with him."
"......"
"You people, such a trivial matter is still verbose for a long time, I can't carry it!"
Helian Mingzhu was annoyed that he couldn't save Mulan just now, and when he saw that Qiu Lin Mo Zhen was still in the ink, his pretty face was cold, and he walked to He Mulan's side.
"I have little strength, I may fall you if I don't carry it well, if the wound collapses, don't blame me, blame these real men for refusing to carry you!"
What she said was naturally sarcastic, Qiu Linmo touched his nose in a broken heart, and commanded a stout man to carry He Mulan on his back and go out of the tent together.
When the man carried Hermulan on his back, Hermulan snorted softly. The soldier was startled and hurriedly turned around: "General, but where is the injury?"
He Mulan shook his head slightly.
"No, I have a wound on my left arm, and I can't bring my strength, please don't let me slide down."
The man nodded again and again, lifted He Mulan up, and firmly supported He Mulan's buttocks with his hands behind his back, and walked out of the king's tent quickly and steadily
[,οΌ ]
Qiu Lin Mo Zhen sent Wei soldiers to search the camp tent near the king's tent while asking experienced scouts to check the footprints and traces on the ground.
The camp left by the Rouran people is a camp that accommodates tens of thousands of people, but Tuoba Tao stationed here for a few days with the camp tent of the Xianbei people, this camp has become a place with fewer people and more tents, most of them are to take care of Rouran people and store cattle, sheep and horses and other animals, but all the grain and grass are heavy, important generals and figures, are not in this camp.
He Mulan and the others had no choice at the beginning, she was injured in front of the king's tent, and there was no way to move too far, so Kou Qianzhi arranged a group of injured people to be treated near the king's tent. There are not too many guards in the camp where the wounded soldiers are, because no one will trouble the wounded soldiers.
So there were too many empty tents here, and the scouts looked at it for a while, pointed in the direction of the west, and a group of people looked for it.
It will take some effort to search for them all, and of course there is no "miscellaneous battalion" here, there are so many wounded soldiers here, and Peanut will not rashly introduce a group of fierce and vicious Rouran people to kill them, so it didn't take a while for them to find out that Peanut was taking them around in circles, going farther and farther, and refused to take them into the tent, so naturally they found out that something was wrong.
This search, about two hours of searching, those Rouran people were found, they killed a few wounded soldiers, hid in their tents, and finally were found by the handymen who delivered food, and finally surrounded them, and there was no way to survive.
"What about peanuts? What about peanuts?"
He Mulan, whose wound had begun to bleed, looked at Qiu Lin Mo Zhen with expectant eyes.
Under such a vision, even Qiu Lin Mo Zhen gave birth to a trace of compassion.
"General Flower......" He tilted his head, not daring to look her eyes. They...... Kill him. Death, it's really not ...... You should recuperate in peace, and I will arrange for him to be buried."
Killed?
Bury?
Why?
Hemulan's eyes darkened, and the unilateral arm holding the wrestler seemed to be unable to support it anymore, and slowly slid down......
