Childe, Tiger Head and Little Gold have arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, and Han Saburo has already made arrangements, so he can come here tomorrow to hide his identity. The snake slave came to Zhang Bin's side and whispered a report.

Zhang Bin perked up and said: "Xiao Jin Zi and Zhu Niang are inseparable from each other every day, and they are extremely sensitive to the smell of Zhu Niang. ”

The snake slave wanted to speak and stopped, she wanted to say that she hadn't found Zhu Niang for so long, and the latter might have encountered an accident, after all, Zhu Niang was just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.

At this time, Han Saburo hurriedly ran over, and reported with a solemn expression: "Qiyu third gear head, I just got the news, yesterday the people of the Dark Eagle Hall of the Liao Kingdom suspected of discovering the traces of Zhu Niang, but they fought with another group of people, and the three people of the Dark Eagle Hall were killed, and the corpses were thrown into the glacier, and Zhu Niang may have been taken away by another group of unknown people." ”

"Where is the place of the fight?" Zhang Bin was overjoyed when he heard this, and this news proved at least one thing - Zhu Niang is still alive.

"Near a mountain village called Maojia Village."

"We will rush to Maojia Village immediately, and then you will arrange for someone to send Hulang and Xiaojinzi directly to Maojia Village."

In the later period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, many ethnic minorities in the western and northern frontiers migrated to the interior one after another, and Liaoxi, Youhe, Guanlong and other places were filled with Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang, Qian, Di and other ethnic groups.

The eight kings of the Western Jin Dynasty competed for power, the world was in turmoil, and the various ethnic minorities who moved inward to the Central Plains one after another, so that the Yellow River Valley formed a situation in which people of all ethnic groups lived together and coexisted.

The coexistence of various ethnic groups has opened the door to convenient economic and cultural exchanges between ethnic groups.

The Han nationality and various ethnic minorities have influenced each other and made progress together, and through a long and complex historical process, they have achieved great integration among ethnic groups.

The most important manifestation of ethnic integration is the sinicization of various ethnic groups in the interior. After the internal migration, the mode of production of various ethnic minorities changed, and the original nomadic economy gradually gave way to agricultural production.

The transformation of the mode of production created the preconditions for it to accept the more advanced farming culture of the Han people.

Xiongnu nobles Liu Xuan, Liu Yuan, Liu Yao and others were proficient in Confucian scriptures, and also loved to read, so that "the music of the Tao is singing, Xin Xin is like also".

Emperor Yuanhong of the Northern Wei Dynasty also had a very high level of Han culture, "good for the article and poem to be inscribed, written by Ren Xing, with a big pen, immediately dictated, and its success, without changing a word."

In addition to being included in the advanced system economically and culturally, the sinicization of ethnic minorities in the interior is also manifested in language, surnames, clothing, ideological concepts, etc.

The various ethnic groups in the interior of the Han society have to take the initiative to change to the Han way of life to adapt to the new living environment.

The Chinese dialect as a tool for the exchange of ideas bore the brunt of the adoption. The adoption of Han surnames is also becoming more common. The Xiongnu nobles adopted the surname Liu, and the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty changed their surname to Yuan.

Today's Liao State is also experiencing a similar process of being sinicized, and from a historical point of view, no matter how brave the original nomadic people, as long as they are sinicized, they will change from wolves to sheep at a jaw-dropping speed, and finally completely disappear in the long river of history.

But there are also some ethnic minorities who have always adhered to their own customs, and would rather live in the deep mountains and dense forests and live a very poor and hard life than be sinicized.

The Black Tiger Capricorn is such a tribe, they have lived and passed down for hundreds of years in the depths of the vast mountain range in the southwest of Yingkou County, Yingzhou, which is known as the 100,000 mountains. Although they are not isolated from the world, there are very few Liao or Song people who know about their existence.

………

Zhang Bin and a group of people dressed up as hunters, looking at the rolling mountains in front of them, not far away Xiaojinzi ran all the way, along a looming mountain road in the middle until the foot of the mountain, stayed there for a while, sniffed around, and then ran towards one of the mountains, Zhang Bin hurriedly led people to chase up.

Han Sanlang hurried forward, looked at the steep peak, frowned, and said: "Third gear, this is more than two hundred miles away from the place where Zhu Niang girl disappeared, obviously it was not Zhu Niang who came here herself, it was someone else who brought Zhu Niang here." ”

Orimu Qiu interjected: "Maybe this silver lynx wants to go to the mountains by himself and take us around. ”

Zhang Bin scolded: "Don't worry, Xiao Jinzi will never run around, the direction it runs in must be where Zhu Niang passes!" ”

Zhemuqiu was still a little skeptical, but seeing that Zhang Bin was determined, he didn't say anything anymore.

Zhang Bin ignored him, and it was not easy to explain, while following Xiao Jinzi up the mountain, he said: "Zhu Niang and Xiao Jin Zi are like brothers, Xiao Jin Zi has always regarded Zhu Niang as the closest existence, it must be chasing Zhu Niang, follow it!" ”

Zhemuqiu looked suspicious, tightened the sheepskin hat that the local Han hunters often wore on his head, and followed Zhang Bin's ass up the mountain, and there were nearly 300 people far and near behind, divided into several groups of people While vigilant, they secretly surrounded Zhang Bin and them in the middle, and followed closely.

After most of the day......

Zhang Bin looked at the dense primeval forest that suddenly appeared in the deep mountains, and frowned tightly.

No matter who it is, or which force is taking away Zhu Niang, it shouldn't run into the deep mountains and old forests.

………

………

The bamboo lady sat in a wooden basket made of rattan, carried on her back, and quickly shuttled through the jungle.

The man who carried him was in his thirties, his skin was tanned and rough, he was very strong, eight feet tall, his whole body was bulging with muscles, and he was like an iron tower, but his body was very flexible, and he walked lightly on the mountain, as if he were walking on the ground.

Behind this big man, there were nineteen men, all of whom were very strong and agile.

These twenty people are dressed very strangely, somewhat similar to the Qiang, but different, and very different from the Han and Khitan.

Each of them wore some kind of leather armor stitched into the skin of wild beasts, and on their waists hung slightly curved, but very sharp scimitars, and the scabbards of different styles were different, but half of them were sheaths sewn from old bear skins, and the handles were polished copper handles, with mysterious carvings on them, which looked quite exquisite.

Zhu Niang sat in the bamboo basket, her face was a little frightened, and she asked with a pitiful face, "Uncle, where are you going to take me?" ”

The big man did not slow down, and while his steps were flying, he said in a strange tone, "Take you to our house." ”

Zhu Niang was a little worried and said a little shyly: "I have already promised to others, and I can't marry anyone else." ”

Dahan suddenly looked pity, but quickly returned to normal and said, "We won't force you to marry, we just want to take you to treat someone." ”

Zhu Niang was puzzled: "How would Uncle know that I would treat people?" ”

Dahan said: "You were bitten by a snake on the leg that day, but you were able to find herbs to detoxify yourself, and this incident happened to be seen by us." ”

When Zhu Niang heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she didn't hurt her and didn't force others to be her little daughter-in-law, she didn't have to worry about it for the time being, she believed that her son-in-law would definitely find her and take her home.

The twenty men were obviously accustomed to the mountain paths, walking through the dense forests as if they were walking on flat ground, and seemed to be very familiar with the vast mountains and jungles, and although there were no mountain paths, they never stopped to identify the roads.

In this reckless mountain forest, they don't have to worry that Zhu Niang will escape, because without them, this little girl won't live for half a day.

Zhu Niang is also convinced of this, because along the way, they have encountered two tigers, a small pack of wolves, and a family of bears. In addition to the wolves being frightened away by them, tigers and bears became their prey.

The gang ran for most of the day, and finally stopped at a leeward spot, gathered dry wood, lit a fire, and began to barbecue the prey they had hunted along the way.

At this time, she didn't need Zhu Niang's help, she sat on a big rock, her hands on her cheeks and looked at the endless mountains that stretched into the distance, her little face was full of worry, she was worried that the place where these people took her was too remote, and her son would not be able to grow her for a while.

"If the little gold is here, it will definitely smell me and find me." Zhu Niang remembered that she used to play with Xiao Jinzi, no matter whether Xiao Jinzi saw her or not, and no matter how she hid it, Xiao Jinzi could always easily find her through the taste.

But then Zhu Niang remembered that Xiao Jinzi was injured by the Zhiyuan monk, and suddenly there were tears in her eyes.

"Yiyi should be able to cure Xiaojinzi, several doctors in their family are miracle doctors, and they also have good medicines." Zhu Niang kept comforting herself in her heart, "Little gold will be fine." ”

………

………

Zhang Bin and a group of other people crawled behind the rocks in the distance, looking at the bamboo girl sitting on the stone from a distance, and the more than 20 big men who were busy making a fire and barbecuing food on the side, with a puzzled face: "Strange, who are these people, it seems that they don't want to hurt Zhu Niang, what do they want?" ”

The snake slave crawled on Zhang Bin's right side and said in a low voice: "Childe, these people seem to be the legendary Black Tiger Clan. ”

"It's the Black Tiger Clan who claims to be a tiger and wolf warrior?" Zhang Bin looked surprised, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Didn't you say that the Black Tiger Clan had been exterminated by the Northern Wei Dynasty hundreds of years ago?" How can there be? ”

The snake slave explained in a low voice: "It is said that there are still some Black Tiger Clan tribes who fled into the Taihang Mountains back then, and legend has it that they were isolated from the world. ”

Zhang Bin looked abrupt, nodded, and said, "Since you are not from Liao, now that you have found Zhu Niang, we can try to talk to them." ”

Although these twenty Black Tiger Warriors do not look weak, Zhang Bin and his party of more than 300 people, all of them are good hands, and their weapons and equipment are far more sophisticated than these Black Tiger Warriors, and it is not much difficult to kill each other.

But Zhu Niang was in the hands of the other party, and Zhang Bin and others had to act cautiously.

As Zhang Bin spoke, he suppressed the little gold that always wanted to rush out, and comforted the little gold so that the little guy didn't make a sound.

Xiao Jinzi, like everyone else, also lay on the side, looking like he was going to rush out to hunt, and behaved spiritually, so that Orimu Qiu and the others not far away looked at their eyes and thought that the legendary silver lynx was really wonderful, and this little guy was simply a spirit beast.

Zhang Bin carefully observed the warriors of the Black Tiger Capricorn for a while, and commanded in a low voice: "Wait a minute, Zhu Niang and I will only bring eighteen people to show up, try to talk to them first, and the others should not act rashly without my orders." ”

Next to him, Han Saburo and Orimu Qiu hurriedly said yes, and the latter immediately ordered eighteen soldiers and gave orders in a low voice.

Zhang Bin was about to stand up, when suddenly the cry of an owl came from behind the right, Han Sanlang's face changed, and he said urgently: "It's our spy code, there are other people." ”

Zhang Bin's expression froze, and soon a pacification spy bent over from the rear and reported to Zhang Bin in a low voice: "Third gear, a group of Liao people just came three miles away on the other side, it seems that they have just discovered these people, but they did not act rashly. ”

Zhang Bin's face changed, his face was monstrous, and he gritted his teeth and said, "How many people are on the other side?" ”

The spy said, "There are nearly two hundred people. ”

Zhang Bin pondered for a moment and said: "These Black Tiger Men are going to camp and rest here tonight, since they have been found, they are not afraid of losing them again, but if Zhu Niang is discovered by the Liao, the consequences are unimaginable, and all these Liaos must be killed." ”

………

………

More than an hour later, when night fell, in addition to the snake slave and Xiao Jinzi with a few people staring at the group of Black Tiger Tigers, Zhang Bin led people to the vicinity where the group of Khitans rested, which was three or four miles away from the group of Black Tiger Tigers.

At this time, this group of Liao soldiers gathered around the bonfire, drinking wine and eating meat, whispering as if they were arguing about something, and they didn't even think about whether they would be exposed.

A Khitan who seemed to be the leader was discussing something with a young man who looked like a Han Chinese, Zhang Bin faintly heard the words "Black Tiger", "Don't act rashly, send someone to call for reinforcements", "Lack of merit", etc., thinking that this Han young man should be a local Han from Yingzhou, these people have become obedient people of the Liao State for more than a hundred years, and they must not be easily believed.

Although I didn't think that there would be a Song army here, after all, it was in the deep mountains and forests, not to mention that there were black tigers and people two or three miles away, and there might also be dangers such as beasts and poisonous snakes, so these Liao people's knives and bows and arrows were by their side, and their war horses were tied to more than a dozen big trees not far behind them.

"I led twenty men to attack from the front, Oriki Aki led people to outflank them from the left, and Saburo led them to outflank them from the right side, blocking their escape from the side of the bolted horse. Remember, attack from a distance first, then fight closely, and kill everyone except for the leader and the Han Chinese youth who left them alive. Later, everyone will listen to my movements, and watch me shoot arrows at the same time. ”

At the foot of the slope 100 steps away, after Zhang Bin carefully saw the situation of the target, he quickly decided on the tactics and carried out the division of labor.

Han Saburo and Orimu Qiu agreed in a low voice, and quietly sneaked to their respective battle positions with a copper coin in their mouths, like night cats, and the elite of the pacification division.

Their horses were tethered two hundred paces away, and their mouths were controlled by their beak cages, which did not make a sound.

Under the protection of He Yongyi and other four masters, Zhang Bin also quietly sneaked forward forty steps with twenty soldiers, and stopped at a distance of sixty steps from the Liao, a distance that would not expose them, and could kill with bows and arrows.

Everyone hid behind a big tree, Zhang Bin pulled out three arrows, held two in his mouth, and waited for the others to take their places and send a signal.

After about a cup of tea, the cry of an owl came from the side of the bolted horse to the north, which was a signal that Han Saburo and they were already in place, they were the farthest away, and they were already in place, and the people on both sides were naturally in place.

This battle is naturally nothing compared to Zhang Bin's various battles with the Liao people a few days ago, but the key and difficult point is that these Liao people must be wiped out, and escaping any of them may attract the Liao army.

Zhang Bin stared at the Liao and Han young men who seemed to be the leader, and then saw that the two of them had finished discussing things, turned around and walked towards the bonfire, and the front was just exposed to his arrows.

Zhang Bin acted decisively, without hesitation to pull the bow and release the arrow, in the sound of breaking the air, the long arrow was as fast as lightning, and an arrow shot at the waist of the Liao leader, the Liao leader screamed, a stumble, but very tenacious and quickly stabilized his body and ran towards his war horse, but Zhang Bin was followed by another arrow, which pierced his left thigh, and in the scream, the Liao leader fell to the ground, and he had lost his ability to move.

Almost at the same time that Zhang Bin's arrow shot the first arrow, the other soldiers and spies from the pacification department shot at the Liao people from all directions.

One hundred soldiers are the best soldiers selected in the Northwest Frontier Army, especially the archers and horses are the most skilled, not to mention that all of them are archers, but their archery skills are all very exquisite, and these elite spies of the pacification division are not much different.

In addition, the Liao people were defenseless, so a miserable scream sounded, except for the Liao leader who was shot and injured by Zhang Bin, nearly half of the Liao people were directly shot and injured at the first time.

As soon as the arrow was shot, all the Song people drew their swords and rushed up from all directions, Zhang Bin originally wanted to shoot the Han young man, but when he saw that this person was already frightened, crawling on the ground and shivering, he let this person go, put away the arrow and stood aside to watch the battle.

In the later battles, he didn't have to do it himself.

The attack that appeared without warning killed nearly half of the Liao people at once, so that the remaining Liao people fell into a complete panic, in the dark night they did not know how many enemies there were, and they did not have any intention of resisting at all, only thinking about grabbing the war horse and escaping, which accelerated their death.

After a dozen breaths, all the Liao people were killed, except for the leader of the Liao.

And the frightened Han young man knelt on the ground with his head in his hands, his buttocks pouted high, and his whole body trembled.

Zhang Bin's side killed two soldiers and seven spies to pacify the division.

"Folded Muqiu, take someone to make up for each Liao person to make up for it again, to prevent there from still being alive." Zhang Bin cautiously commanded.

Zhemuqiu agreed, and took the soldiers to go up one by one to look at the corpses of the Liao people, and made up for the dead ones.

At this time, a soldier hurriedly came and said: "At the head of the third gear, the black tiger people on the other side discovered the movement of the fighting here, and set off overnight, and the snake slave girl and Xiao Jinzi have already followed, and they will leave marks along the way." ”

Everyone was attracted by the words of the soldier, and they all turned their heads to look, as did one of the pacifying spies who was guarding the Han youth.

However, at this moment, a sudden change abruptly appeared, and the young Han man, who was originally like a lamb, suddenly jumped up like a leopard, and took out a dagger from somewhere, "Poof! He stabbed the pacifier in the chest, and then rushed quickly towards the nearest warhorse.

The whole process of this person was a long story, but it was almost completed in two or three breaths, and the speed was extremely fast, and by the time everyone reacted, he had already come to the side of the war horse.
