Dong Rong was thrown like a sandbag on horseback and galloped for five days, and finally settled in a mountain col this night. The barbarians scattered in all directions, some were responsible for guarding, some were responsible for fetching water, and some were responsible for taking care of the horses, and the division of labor and cooperation were very well-trained.

Tuo Zizhu and Yun Rui, the brothers and sisters, can speak barbarian language and have the blessing of barbarian blood, Dong Rong was only tightly tied up on the first day, and the treatment for the remaining days was not bad. Except for the restriction of "self" by strict zhòng, other things such as grooming have not been banned.

At this time, she squatted by the river and used a jade comb to arrange her hair, and ran on a horse every day, no matter how beautiful her hair bun was, she directly braided two hemp braids. Zizhu followed closely beside his master, his eyes vigilantly looking at the few barbarians drinking horses not far downstream, for fear that they would hurt his master in the near future.

Dong Rong was also quietly pondering the possibility of escaping, but unfortunately the more she pondered, the more depressed she became, the small river in front of her was only a zhang wide, not to mention how cold the river was, how poor her swimming skills were, I was afraid of jumping in and getting up straight, the waterline was only as deep as the waist, how could I escape.

Zizhu heard Madame sigh, and thought that she was worried about the three little masters, so she persuaded in a low voice, "Madam, the prince must have received the news at this time, he will definitely settle the little masters well, and then rush to save Madame." ”

Dong Rong gratefully glanced at the little girl who was obviously much thinner, she was also snatched out, even if she spoke the same language, she must have been frightened and uneasy, but at this time, she didn't forget to comfort herself, what a rare good child.

"Zizhu, if we have a safe day in the future, I will definitely choose a good mother-in-law for you, and you will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

When Zizhu heard this, he couldn't help blushing, and subconsciously looked around, and then responded, "Madame is laughing at me again, I won't marry, I want to bake snacks for Madame and the little masters for the rest of my life." ”

Dong Rong's nose was sour, she reached out and grabbed her and patted her gently, "Don't be afraid, we will return home safe and sound." ”

Zizhu focused on his little head, and also choked up, "Madam, I'm not afraid." ”

The master and servant finally put away their sorrow and helped each other to go back. But at this moment, the pine forest behind the camp suddenly caught fire. The pine trees in late autumn still have some moisture, and soon the smoke is billowing to the fire.

Yun Rui was originally being called by the barbarians to carry water, and when he saw this, he ran over. Dong Rong only felt that her heart was beating as if it was about to burst out of her mouth, she grabbed Yun Rui and Zizhu one by one and jumped into the river, desperately rushing to the opposite side.

It's a pity that the barbarians were not shocked by this sudden fire, and the seven or eight barbarians who drank the horses almost effortlessly grabbed the three of Dong Rong's master and servant, and then tied them back to the horses and threw them on the back of the horses.

The rest of the brutes also packed their simple bags, jumped on their horses, and quickly ran out of the pine forest. Dong Rong desperately turned her head to look at the burning pine forest, and almost shed tears in frustration. Needless to say, this must have been Jiayi's attempt to create chaos to save them, but who would have thought that the barbarians would not want to fight at all, and directly abandoned the camp.

As soon as the horse team ran away, Jia Yi came out of the pine forest with a disgraced face. He slammed his fist into the pine tree beside him, completely oblivious to the blur of flesh and blood on the back of his hand.

For so many years, he has always completed the tasks assigned by his master. But now, for the first time, he tasted failure, and it was clear that the plundered master mother was close at hand, and he just couldn't save it. If you give him two helpers, no, even one.

Thinking like this, he smashed the pine tree harder, and at last he quickly took out his dagger and made a few marks on a pine tree in a conspicuous place, and then raised his leg again and chased it with all his might in the direction where the barbarian had disappeared.

Dong Rong was soaking wet, and she was thrown on the horse and ran for two or three hours, finally looking forward to the horse team stopping, she was already so cold that her upper and lower teeth were fighting. I don't know if it was Fang Cai's escape behavior that annoyed the barbarians, but this time the three of them were not untied, and they were thrown directly to the cold ground.

Dong Rong tried her best to spread her body and lie down comfortably, but the sudden heat after the cold quickly burned her into a daze. She wanted to beg for mercy and help, but she really didn't want to give in to the enemy, so she had to grit her teeth and endure it.

How could the barbarians be delicate, and they didn't know that the captives were sick. Yun Rui and Zizhu shouted softly a few times, and heard the master hum twice, thinking that the master was too tired, so they didn't call again, but tried their best to come to the front and block the cold wind for the master.

As a result, when he got up early, Zizhu suddenly saw his master's fiery face in the morning light, and screamed in fright, "Madam, what's wrong with you?" Madame, wake up! ”

Yun Rui originally had his back to his master and sister, but when he heard this, he frantically wanted to turn over, and scolded, "You damn guys, hurry up and let go of Lao Tzu." I'm going to kill you! Zizhu, what's wrong with Madam, what's wrong? ”

When the barbarians heard the movement, they walked over a few people, and saw that Dong Rong's face was weirdly red and hurriedly went to report to the leader. The leader of the barbarians came over with a frown, stretched out his foot and kicked Dong Rong, seeing that she didn't react at all, so he turned his head and said a few words to the barbarian next to him, and then turned his head and walked away.

The brute opened the water bladder hanging on his waist and poured a few mouthfuls into Dong Rong, and finally stared at Dong Rong's white neck, as if he wanted to reach out and touch it. Zizhu screamed, "Get out, you brute, if you dare to touch our lady, I will bite you to death!" ”

The little girl changed her brute language when she spoke, and a group of barbarian soldiers not far away laughed when they heard it. The watered brute retracted his hand a little unwillingly, and instead tore off the raccoon hair on the collar and stuffed it into Zizhu's mouth, which was regarded as revenge on her for ruining her own good deeds.

Zizhu was so blocked that he almost rolled his eyes, Yun Rui opened his mouth to scold, but the barbarians had already thrown the three of them on horseback again. After another day of walking, the horse team gradually approached within fifty miles of the military city. But the leader of the barbarian soldiers had no intention of rushing through the pass with his subordinates at all, and as soon as the sun went down the mountain, he turned into a mountainous area, and then walked down the valley to the end, and there was a hole hidden behind the boulder.

Although the entrance to the cave is a bit narrow enough for one person to pass through the guò, the passage inside is so wide that the barbarians don't even need to dismount. And so they walked for another hour, and when they were out of the mountain again, the moon above them had risen to the middle.

Zizhu and Yun Rui didn't eat water and rice for a day, hanging on horseback, and when they were dazed, they didn't care about where they were passing by, and Dong Rong was even more burned. If the three of them could stay awake, they would be horrified at this moment.

No wonder the brute soldiers can come and go so easily in Daqi, it turns out that there is such a secret passage dozens of miles away on the side of the military city that is known as the most solid and safe in the north of Daqi. If the war breaks out, wouldn't it be that the barbarians would be able to bypass the military city and sneak into the hinterland of Daqi to burn and loot like this time.

The horse team went out of the mountainside and quietly sneaked for more than ten miles, and then let go of the horses' hooves and ran away. Xu smelled the smell of dry grass after a long absence, the barbarians whimpered and shouted in their mouths and galloped wildly, Zizhu was so upset that he spit out the fur in his mouth, and cursed a few words weakly. Finally, he suddenly remembered his master, who had fallen ill before, and began to struggle desperately again. Unfortunately, the brute soldiers behind her didn't pay any attention to it.

In this way, the horse team galloped wildly for an hour, until the sky was completely bright, and then it stopped in the settlement of a small tribe.

The small tribe only had seven or eight tents and hundreds of cattle and sheep, but when they saw the warriors of their own tribe coming, they immediately slaughtered cattle and sheep.

Zizhu and Yun Rui were finally untied, and the brother and sister hurried to the master, but as soon as Zizhu saw the appearance of the master, he was immediately distressed and shed tears. The master, who has always been so cheerful and healthy, has his hair as messy as dry grass, his face is red and hot, but his lips are as white as paper, and he has cracked bloody wounds, and he sees that he has lost half his life.

Yun Rui was so frightened that he crawled to find the brute soldiers, and it took several kicks to snatch back a bag of clear water. Zizhu tried her best to pour water into her master's mouth, but helplessly, not a drop of water flowed out of the corner of her mouth. She was so anxious that she burst into tears, and Yun Rui was also completely crazy when she saw this, and rushed over to the leader of the barbarians who was sitting by the fire drinking mare's milk wine.

The brutes stopped him and passed him around like a ball, so hated that he screamed and cursed. The barbarian leader drank his fill, finally put down the bowl, and motioned for the barbarians to let Yun Rui go.

Yun Rui was half-lying on the ground, with severe pain all over his body, but he still gritted his teeth and crawled forward, "You murderous demon king, go to the doctor to treat our wife." Otherwise, you will regret it, and our prince will kill all of you! ”

The barbarian leader playfully played with the mutton bone cup in his hand, and mocked, "The people of Daqi are all weak lambs, and they only dare to bleat and cry when they are picked and eaten by the jackals of our grassland?" ”

The surrounding brute screamed and slapped his broad chest vigorously, trying to respond to the leader's words.

The leader of the barbarians raised his hand very proudly to signal his subordinates to be quiet, and finally said, "Plundering your princess is just an unexpected gain, saving those red-eyed leopards from saying that we will go to Daqi and return empty-handed, and now I don't know if it is useless to His Royal Highness the eldest prince." However, if she dies of illness, it will also be accepted as a maid by Changshengtian, which is her honor! ”

Yun Rui's eyes were red with anger when he heard this, "Bullshit, Changshengtian, find a doctor!" You regret it, our prince will definitely come, he will! ”

When the barbarian general was about to say something, the ground suddenly shook, and a large force of cavalry seemed to run in the distance. The barbarians hurriedly turned on their horses and assumed the appearance of charging and fighting.

In a short time, the distant horse team came closer, and although the attire was somewhat different, they were all of the same race. The two barbarians immediately stepped forward and asked a few words, and finally turned back to a report: "General, the person who came is General Wuqien under the second prince, and the routine parade has come here." ”

The barbarian general's face was wary, and he himself got up and greeted him, and finally invited the very tall and strong Uqien to drink mare's milk wine by the fire.
