Chapter 73: Not Bad

"Well, when you get out, I'll send you to the foot of the mountain, and then you'll be free. Fang Ling smiled slightly.

"Okay, but don't try to beat my idea, if you dare to have any intentions against Miss Ben, I'll use this to end myself!" said the little barbarian girl with wide eyes.

Fang Ling's gaze glanced at her undeveloped body, and couldn't help but smile dumbly, this girl is young, but her thinking is quite advanced.

He asked Luo Zhen to take a set of little girl's dress and throw it to the little barbarian girl, so that it would not be conspicuous.

Holding it tightly, the little barbarian girl kept a long distance from Fang Ling, and then cautiously walked out of the firewood room, looking at everything in the courtyard vigilantly and curiously.

But when she saw Luo Zhi and the others, she immediately glared at them fiercely, looking like she was gritting her teeth.

Luo Zhi said with admiration: "It is worthy of His Royal Highness, he surrendered the little barbarian girl so quickly." ”

Fang Ling said lightly: "Lord Luo, I'll go first." ”

"Then the lower official sent the adult out. Luo Wei hurriedly said.

"No need, Lord Luo is busy with official business, so you don't have to send it. Fang Ling said with a considerate face, and then took the little barbarian girl and Lu Bei out of the house and out of the city all the way.

As soon as she walked out of the city gate and went up to the avenue, the little barbarian's expression softened slightly, Fang Ling stopped and pointed to the surrounding mountains and said, "Little girl, which mountain do you want to go to, I'll send you over." ”

The little barbarian girl looked at the mountains with a confused face, and then snorted heavily: "There are so many mountains, how can I remember where to go back?"

Fang Ling heard this suspiciously: "Weren't you caught by Orion, that house should be in the middle of these mountains, right?"

The little barbarian girl suddenly said: "They are not hunters, they are bandits!"

"What bandit?" Fang Ling asked, "How do you know?"

The little barbarian girl snorted lightly: "They think I don't understand, but in fact, I can hear every word they say clearly, it was the thieves who sold me to this group of wicked people." ”

Lu Beiyi raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "I didn't expect this Luo family to still have contact with the bandits?" Your Highness, no wonder they didn't dare to lend us troops. ”

The little barbarian girl said suddenly: "He called you Your Highness, are you a very big official?"

Fang Ling smiled lightly, "It's not big, just a sesame official." ”

"It turned out to be a sesame officer. The little barbarian girl glanced at him with a little disdain and said, "Then let's do it, if you send Miss Ben back, then my father will definitely reward you with a big official!"

"What, aren't you a barbarian tribe? there are still big officials?" Fang Ling said with a smile.

The little barbarian girl snorted lightly and said, "Lonely and unheard, who told you that Miss Ben is from the barbarian tribe, we just live in the depths." Speaking of this, he bit his mouth and said, "I came out of the city to play that day, but it rained heavily, and I accidentally 'lost' the way, and after walking for a long time I didn't find my way back, and I fell into the trap of the bandits, and I was caught." ”

"In the city?" Fang Ling frowned when he heard this, "You mean, you still have a town there?"

The little barbarian girl said proudly: "Of course, it is a big city bigger than this!"

Fang Ling couldn't help but be secretly surprised, this little barbarian girl was obviously dressed like a barbarian tribe, although her "sex" personality was a little rude, but she was quite educated when she spoke, living in the deep mountains and old forests, but she said that there was a city there, which sounded a little unbelievable.

He said, "Even if I want to send you back, it's too late today, so go and stay with me first." ”

The little barbarian girl immediately became vigilant, and she grasped it tightly, Fang Ling couldn't help but look funny, shook her head, and rode away.

Back in the house, Chen Mou and Meng Zhiyuan were there, and Su Shi was also in the hall, seemingly chatting with the two of them.

Seeing Fang Ling coming back with a beautiful little girl, everyone was a little strange, and Su Shi said happily: "Ling'er, who is this little girl?"

Fang Ling told the matter of rescuing the little barbarian girl from the Luo Mansion, of course, trivial matters such as meeting the patriarch of the Wang clan were omitted, and Meng Zhiyuan scolded bitterly after hearing this: "Your Highness, this Luo County Order is so well-dressed!"

Su Shi couldn't help sighing, and asked softly, "Little girl, what's your name?"

The little barbarian girl hesitated for a moment before replying: "My surname is Xi, and my name is Xi Ling'er." ”

As soon as he heard her surname Xi, Chen Mou's eyes suddenly lit up, and his gaze fell on the necklace around her neck.

"Miss Ling'er, do you remember where you fell into the trap?" Su asked.

Xi Ling'er shook her head, but said: "It was too dark that night, I was 'confused', I only remember that there was a waterfall there, and I remember that one of the two bandits was called Kuroko, and there was a black spot on the right side of his face. ”

Meng Zhiyuan suddenly asked, "Little sister Ling'er, do you know how they traded you to the Luo family?"

Xi Ling'er pursed her lips and said, "It seems to be in a place called the black market." ”

"Black market?" Meng Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Fang Ling asked, "Brother Meng, do you know this place?"

Meng Zhiyuan nodded slightly and said, "When I was in Gukou County, I talked with some businessmen and heard a lot of interesting things, including about this black market. According to the merchants, the thieves of the "Misty" Mountains will sell their looted goods in a fixed place, and in addition to the bandits trading necessities with each other, there are also some black-hearted merchants who buy supplies there and then take them to nearby cities to sell. ”

"There is such a thing......" Fang Ling 'touched' his chin and thought for a moment, then laughed and said to his mother, "Queen Mother, then please take this little girl with you, and when I find out where she fell into the trap, I will send someone to send her back." ”

Su Shi nodded slightly, took Xi Ling'er's hand and said, "Is it okay to go to the back room with Auntie?"

"Yes. Xi Ling'er was obviously a lot less vigilant, and she changed her brutal momentum and nodded very obediently.

After the two left, Lu Bei asked, "Brother Meng, do you know where this black market is?"

Meng Zhiyuan just shook his head, but heard Fang Ling smile and said, "Isn't this a ready-made method in front of us?"

Lu Bei and the others were confused: "What does Your Highness mean?"

Fang Ling smiled and said, "The thieves of the Heaven Snatching Village will definitely transport the iron ore to the black market to sell, as long as they follow them, they will naturally be able to find the location of the black market." ”

The two of them suddenly realized, and Lu Bei said excitedly: "Your Highness, then let's go to the black market at night!"

Fang Ling said with a smile: "It's enough for me to go alone, and I can't relax the safety in the city at any time." ”

At this time, Fang Ling saw Chen Mou with a thoughtful face, and said in surprise: "Lord Chen, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Mou said: "Your Highness, the minister guesses that the little barbarian girl may have a great background." ”

Fang Ling was puzzled: "Do you have a great origin?"

Meng Zhiyuan said in surprise: "Lord Chen, what is the origin of this barbarian woman? Although she said that the city, the official, or something, maybe someone from their tribe has been to the city before." ”

Chen Mou shook his head and said, "What does the minister care about is not only what she said, but also the ornamentation on the necklace around her neck?"

Fang Ling squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "Hearing Lord Chen say this, the lines on that necklace are indeed a little familiar, it seems that I have seen them somewhere. ”

Chen Mou said: "If the minister guessed correctly, the pattern should be the peerless perched phoenix pattern." ”

"Qi Feng Pattern?" Fang Ling suddenly remembered, "Yes, it's Qi Feng Wen." ”

"What is the perched phoenix pattern?" Meng Zhiyuan said in surprise.

Fang Ling said: "The perched phoenix is the national bird of a small country called Xiguo more than three hundred years ago, and this perched phoenix pattern was created according to the feathers of the perched phoenix, but the Xiguo has been destroyed more than three hundred years ago. ”

Meng Zhiyuan's eyes lit up and said, "What Lord Chen means, shouldn't it mean that this little barbarian girl is a descendant of the people of Xiguo?"

Chen Mou said: "Yes, originally this Xi country is a small country subject to the Great Song Kingdom, and its territory happens to include the vicinity of Shicheng where we are now, but the Emperor Xiaowu of the Great Song Dynasty is desperate to use his army, in order to supplement the source of soldiers, he recruited 100,000 troops from the Xi Kingdom at that time, but the Xi Kingdom was originally a small country, where to raise 100,000 soldiers? On the eve of the arrival of the team in the imperial city of Xiguo, the emperor and grandson of Xiguo were brought into the Shilong Mountains by the generals. ”

Meng Zhiyuan said: "However, these three hundred years are long enough......

Chen Mou said: "It is said that at that time, the emperor and his party entered the Shilong Mountain Range, and there were thousands of people, if it is true, it should be very possible to reproduce in the deep mountains." Moreover, this Shilong Mountain Range is extremely deep and wide, as far as the territory of Cai State, and there have been many rumors of barbarian tribes since ancient times, and more importantly, this phoenix pattern is a pattern that can only be used by the royal family, and the necklace on the little girl's neck seems to be newly made, so the minister boldly deduces that her tribe is likely to be the descendant of Xi Kingdom, and this little girl may have royal blood, otherwise she would not be surnamed Xi. ”

Meng Zhiyuan was so excited when he heard it, he couldn't help but say, "Speaking of which, if we send Xi Ling'er back, maybe we can borrow soldiers from them!"

Chen Mou said: "However, the matter about the descendants of the Xi Kingdom has always been only a wild history in the mountains, and I don't know if it is true, and I think this little girl is also very young, so she may not know this kind of thing, after all, it has been three hundred years, these people live in the mountains, isolated from the world, I am afraid they are not willing to go to war again." ”

Fang Ling bowed slightly, "What Lord Chen said is not unreasonable, but I still want to give it a try, first, I can enter the mountains to explore the power of the bandits and prepare for future extermination, and second, if I can really borrow the barbarian soldiers, it is naturally the best, if I can't borrow it, I might as soon as possible find another way." ”
