Chapter 119: The Tiger is the Tiger

Xu You was speechless for a while!

Frost has always been a smart person, there have been almost no mistakes in speaking and doing things, and there is a degree of action, never exceeding the rules, this time he dared to disobey Xu You's order and bring the woman and the child back, in the final analysis, it was not a whim, nor was it ill-intentioned, just because she saw the little girl who used to be herself.

Drifting alone, lonely, hesitating in the cruelty and despair of life and death, what she saved was not the little girl, but her redemption and rebirth of the miserable past in her memory!

Some people say that apart from life and death, there is nothing to be feared;

Some people also say that what is truly terrifying is the imprint and trembling of life and death in the depths of the soul!

Xu You had no reason to blame her anymore, so he was silent for a while and said, "Get up!" ”

Lu Shuang raised his head suddenly, his tears were shallow, the traces were still there, his eyes burst out with incredible surprise, he knelt down five steps, tightly grabbed the hem of Xu You's robe, and said, "Xiaolang, have you forgiven me?" ”

"I'm not an unreasonable person......" Xu You felt pity, helped her get up, pointed to the futon beside her, and said, "Sit down!" ”

Waiting for the frost to sit down, Xu You poured a cup of tea for her, deliberately adjusted the atmosphere between the two, and said slightly teasingly: "Is the wound okay?" Stupid or not? If you prostrate, you will prostrate, so what do you do with all your strength? ”

Frost wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, lowered his head, and said, "The winter solstice helped me with the medicine for the injury, and it will be fine in a few days." ”

"That's good, don't leave a scar, lest you won't be able to marry in the future!"

Holding the teacup in both hands, he was stunned for a while, and his soft voice was full of firmness, and said; "Then I won't get married, and I'm willing to stay by Xiaolang's side for the rest of my life!"

"How?"

Xu You said with a smile: "A girl always has to get married, find a good husband, have a home, and have a pair of children under her knees, only then can your life be considered complete, and it is not in vain to come to the world to go once!" ”

Although there is still a little longing when the midnight dream returns, but it is not diligent, and said: "The heart is arbitrary, as long as the heart is at ease, where can it not be perfected?" ”

There is a bit of Zen in these words, but a girl who has realized Zen is not an auspicious thing, Xu You said with relief: "Shaoguang is like water, like jade in the year, don't be so bitter." When fate arrives, you will naturally find Ruyi Langjun, you can rest assured, when you get married in the future, I will definitely give a big dowry, and I will not let you be wronged in your husband's family! ”

Of course, Lu Shuang knew Xu You's intentions, and wanted to use these light-hearted topics to dilute the previous unpleasantness. She didn't dare to have resentment in her heart, after all, she was at fault first, Xu You was able to forgive her, and she was already grateful, not to mention that she would still be afraid of her face, and with the words, she smiled and said: "What Xiaolang said, don't rely on it!" ”

"Not bad! What I say, it never counts! ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and a small storm disappeared, but the woman and the child had to be dealt with next. Xu You said distressedly: "The top priority is to find a person who is proficient in Beiyu, Qiantang businessman Jia Hui, there should be talents in this area......"

He is not sure, there is no mutual market between the north and the south, and business and trade are all through underground channels.

The Northern language is also the Xianbei language, because the Northern Wei Dynasty was established by the Xianbei Tuoba clan, so it is referred to as the Northern language.

"I can speak Beiyu and can't write, but basic communication is still possible."

"Huh?" Xu You was impressed by the frost, in any era, people who can speak more Chinese are sought-after goods, but I didn't expect that she was proficient in music and rhythm, familiar with the subset of scripture history, and even knew northern language, and said strangely: "Where did you learn it?" ”

"In the past, in Qingle Building, Wu County, merchants from the Western Regions, Nanyang, and Baekje would stay in the building to rest, I knew a Hu merchant from the Western Regions, who often went to Liangguo and Wei to do business, and knew seven or eight languages from all over the country, and was curious for a while, and learned a few from him, just joking......

Xu You was even more surprised and said, "Ah, how many more do you have?" ”

"Although Rouran's is close to Beiyu, it combines the syllables and rhymes of Xianbei and Xiongnu, which is more difficult, and can only listen to a few sentences, but can't speak; Baekje's meeting had two simple greetings; Nanyang students learn more, can speak, listen and write; The Western Regions are too messy, and they said no, and they were ridiculed by the Hu Shang and said that they were too stupid! ”

"If this is stupid, where are there smart girls in the world?" Xu You laughed and said: "Yiduo is not pressing, there is always a time to use, go, go and meet this blue-eyed and yellow-haired Xianbei woman!" ”

The woman and the girl were placed alone in a side room in Wujin, and when they saw Xu You coming in, the woman sat on the ground peacefully, not panicked, but her blue eyes were full of caution and a certain degree of precaution.

This kind of prevention is not resistance, nor is it counterattack, but to examine which kind of master in front of him belongs to, whether it is tyrannical, cold, gentle, or annoying, as for whether it is kind or not, the woman has long forgotten this word in Chu over the years.

"What's your name?"

The woman did not speak.

"You can speak Chinese, don't you?" Xu You began to routinely flicker, regardless of whether it was true or not, he deceived her first, and said: "You have been in Chu for three years, even if you cover your ears, you should be able to understand Chinese, how can you not know how to say a simple name, place of origin, and age?" ”

The woman still maintained her appearance, without the slightest fluctuation in her expression, and looked straight at Xu You. Xu You smiled, this woman can save her life in the military camp, circulate thousands of miles, be bought and sold by multiple masters, and protect her daughter from scattering the two places, which is definitely not explained by simple luck. So I didn't expect her to speak so easily, and motioned for Lu Shuang to ask again in Xianbei language.

Xu You's study of Xianbei language, that is, Beiyu, should be similar to Mongolian and Turkic languages, both of which are branches of the Altaic language family. He had a friend in his previous life who was Mongolian, and he had heard the other person speak Mongolian, but he only heard it strangely, and he didn't really understand the meaning. Moreover, the ancient Altaic language must have changed a lot from the modern one, and it is not referential.

Frost was obviously much more reliable than him, a Xibei goods, squatting down, speaking softly, comforting the woman's emotions in Beiyu, telling her not to be afraid, and asked the woman's name. The woman's eyes fluctuated slightly, as if she didn't expect Lushuang to speak Beiyu, or she hadn't heard her hometown for too long, so she was in a trance for a while, and after a long time, she nodded slightly and replied in Beiyu.

"She said her name was Yu Su."

"Yu Su?" Xu You frowned and said: "The Chu people are called tigers, this is an allusion in "Zuo Chuan"...... Am I guessing wrong, she turned out to be not a Xianbei person? ”

Lu Shuang asked the woman in northern language, and said, "She is indeed a Hu person, but she is not a Xianbei tribe of the Tuoba family, but a Qiang person from Xiliang......

"Qiang? Oh, I forgot, the Qiang people take the tiger god as their totem, and in the past hundred years after the Wuhu Chaohua, many Qiang people have been assimilated by the Han people and named Yu, which is also reasonable. ”

"Xiao Lang is a pedantic man, and he even knows the things of the Hu people." Xu You's talent is like the bright moon in the sky, every time he climbs higher, he always feels a little closer to the moon, but he climbs higher and higher, but he finds that the bright moon is getting farther and farther away, and he can't touch it.

Zuo Yan and Dong Solstice, who were standing behind Xu You, also felt incredible, is there really anything in the world that Xu You doesn't know?

"Seven of the fathers and brothers of Yao Yan, the lord of Xiliang, died in the hands of the Yuan clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the two countries have a common enmity, so they have been friendly with me over the years.

Xu You explained two sentences, and said: "She is a Qiang person from Xiliang, Chu and Liang have not fought in the army for many years, how did she become a prisoner?" ”

Frost asked Yu Su in the north language, she already trusted Frost, and did not hide it, and told her what had happened. It turned out that Yu Su was born in the family of ordinary Qiang people, belonged to the East Daughter of the Xiliang Qiang Clan, and became the maid of Princess Xiliang because of her beauty, and married to the Rouran Khan Court. Seven years ago, Rouran and the Northern Wei Dynasty broke out in the famous Battle of Yunzhong, her husband was beaten to death by a stone according to military law after the defeat, and she was also captured by the Wei army, she was pregnant at the time, and was later assigned to a military lord in Luozhou as a concubine. Three years ago, there was a skirmish on the border between Chu and Wei, and her warlord was unfortunately killed, and she and her daughter, who had just turned four, became prisoners of the Chu army, and most of her face was burned in the fire. The subsequent experience was similar to what Diao Hei said, from a business household to a businessman, wandering around, and never able to settle down.

After listening to Lu Shuang's relay, Xu You didn't know what to say. This woman named Yu Su not only had a hard life, but also a very big life, was captured twice, sank in the four countries, and did not lack arms or legs, but only disfigured her appearance, which is really a legend in a legend.

Then Lu Shuang asked about the customs and geography of the north, and Yu Su answered all the questions, but as soon as it was involved in the court and the army, he only shook his head and did not speak, falling into stubborn silence.

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Xu You turned around and left, and Dong Solstice closed the door from the outside, and ordered the two guards to be vigilant. When he returned to Erjin, Xu You smiled and said, "Let's talk about it, how credible is what Yu Yu said?" ”

Zuo Yan thought for a while and said, "Most of us don't know much about the situation in the north, and what Yu Yu said is true and false, and it's hard to assert. But from the bottom of my heart, I believe in her. ”

"Why?"

"From an ordinary Qiang person to a princess and maid, to a handsome wife of Rouran, a concubine in a border town of an enemy country, and then reduced to a camp prostitute of Da Chu, a merchant's goods, and a noble slave, such an unbelievable strange thing, I have no real experience, I think, she alone is a woman, absolutely impossible to make up!"

Xu You nodded and said, "What you said makes sense." What about the winter solstice? You are in charge of the Ship Pavilion and know the most about the affairs of the North and the South, do you think Yu Su is credible? ”

"I don't know if it's credible or not, but there are at least a few truths in her words: first, the Eastern Girl Qiang of Xiliang is rich in beautiful girls, and she is the tribe with the most concubines and palace maids in the Yao clan of Xiliang. Rouran's ghost army is the main force of the Khan's court second only to the Golden Wing Army, the one who leads a thousand people in the army is a general, and the one who leads a hundred people is a marshal, she first serves the princess and maid, and then marries the marshal as a wife, which should be true; Secondly, Princess Lelang of Xiliang married Futu, the younger brother of Rouran Khan, which was a well-known event in the north and south seven years ago, and Futu used 3,000 fine horses as a dowry, which made the courtiers of Chu envy for a while. Finally, and most importantly, Rouran military law, kill it with a boulder, there is indeed a warlord in the garrison of Wei, and he is the leading general of a county, if he has not really been in the armies of the two countries, as Fenghu Langjun said, a mere woman will never be made up! ”

This is where the talent of the winter solstice lies, I remember that Zhan Wenjun said that the winter solstice can accurately screen out the truth and falsehood, advantages and disadvantages, and urgency from the thousands of and vast intelligence.

Details determine success or failure, and the winter solstice can start from the details, combine the known information, and dialectically analyze the credibility of Yu Su, which is better than Zuo Yan.

"Well, it's reasonable, I've been persuaded by the two of you. Frost, what about you? ”

"I ......" Frost's beautiful face revealed a little imperceptible sadness, and whispered: "I want to believe her!" Because she did not seem flustered when she spoke, nor did she feel anxious to be recognized by us, she just told her story of her ordeal in the past seven years, the numbness engraved in her bones, only those who have really experienced it know. ”

Xu You said with a smile: "The wind tiger is a big start, the winter solstice is a small focus, and you are from the surface to the inside, straight to the heart, after listening to the words of the three of you, I finally have eighty percent of the certainty." ”

Zuo Yan asked, "What about the two percent?" ”

"Sting!"

Xu You let out a low snort, and the mountain sect walked out from behind the screen, he was very good at concealing his whereabouts, and he always stayed near Xu You's left, and he didn't show up easily.

"Hurry up and go to the gold fang, pick up its wings and come back, be careful on the road!"

"No!"
