Chapter 7: The Manchurian Woman
Under the guidance of Chen Jisheng, Mao Wenlong secretly came to the foot of the mountain, only to see a few yurts on the vast grassland, and a woman riding a horse to drive the sheep out to graze.
Chen Jisheng pointed at the woman and said in a low voice: "Dudu, we have observed just now, it seems that there is no man here, only this woman. ”
"Hmm!"
Mao Wenlong nodded, his eyes never left the horse that the woman was riding, there must be a horse on this grassland, if there is no horse as a means of transportation, just rely on two feet to walk, I don't know that it will take the year of the monkey to get out of this endless grassland.
"Jisheng, wait a minute, you take two people down and see if that person has any horses?" Mao Wenlong's purpose is very simple, as long as the horse doesn't need anything else.
"Yes, Dudu!" Chen Jisheng didn't say much, and directly agreed.
A few people hid in the bushes and said nothing, waiting for the woman to go out to graze. There are more than 200 sheep, which is not a small scale, and I can't see a man here, so I think it's going out.
Mao Wenlong wants to steal the horse quietly, and this will definitely be a good time. Soon after, the woman on horseback soon drove the sheep away.
After Chen Jisheng asked Mao Wenlong for instructions, he took three guards and touched it. There was indeed no one in the yurt, but Chen Jisheng still miscalculated.
This herdsman family has dogs, and there are many of them. As soon as Chen Jisheng and the four of them approached the yurt, they were immediately discovered by several dogs, and the sound of dogs barking loudly in an instant.
In the distance, the woman who was herding sheep heard the barking of the dog, and when she rode her horse back.
Mao Wenlong saw the truth, this woman actually pulled out a scimitar more than a meter long from the saddle, and went straight to the place where the dog barked like frost.
Obviously, this Tartar is a good horse archer, both men and women, and should not be underestimated in the slightest.
Chen Jisheng and the four of them knew that they had been exposed, but fortunately, there was only one woman here, although she was holding a long scimitar in her hand, and she was menacing. Chen Jisheng and others are not afraid.
Pulling out the long knife, Chen Jisheng and the four of them looked coldly at the woman coming to the eyes, and when the woman saw that it was four strange men, she didn't dare to do it at will.
Moreover, judging from the attire, the four men in front of them are obviously the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. The woman couldn't understand why four Ming officers and soldiers suddenly appeared in her family, but she didn't have time to think about it.
The men in the family all went out, and at this time they were the only ones in the family, and it was obviously impossible to deal with the four men in front of them.
"What do you want to do? Why come to my house? "A woman's mouth is smooth and clear.
Chen Jisheng frowned, he originally wanted to kill this woman directly. Just remembered Mao Wenlong's explanation, so he pressed his temper and didn't dare to do it.
Now that they have revealed their identities, the other party also sees that they are officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and once they are escaped by this woman, they will inevitably attract the attention of the Tartars.
However, when he saw that the woman was also afraid of herself and others, Chen Jisheng had an idea. Stretched out his hand and took out all the silver from his arms, threw it directly in front of the woman, and said coldly, "We want to sell you a few horses." ”
Hearing this, the woman seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but she was still very vigilant: "We don't have any extra Marco at home to sell to you." ”
Obviously, this woman was very disdainful of the silver in front of her. Silver was of no use to them, and they bartered it when they bought and sold.
"Hmph, don't be ignorant, you're the only one here, we've all seen it just now. Don't push us to do it! Seeing that the woman refused, Chen Jisheng immediately threatened.
"How many horses do you want?" Clearly, the woman had already begun to compromise.
With her alone, she is definitely not the opponent of the four men in front of her, and it is wise to choose peaceful trading when she knows that she can't beat her.
Mao Wenlong saw it inexplicably from a distance, and thought that the two sides would definitely have to fight. But what he saw was completely opposite to what he imagined, and instead of fighting, the two sides seemed to be chatting happily.
Chen Jisheng saw that the Tartar woman had compromised, and he was secretly relieved in his heart. After a little hesitation, he didn't dare to open his mouth, there were nine people on his side, and one more horse to carry things would be enough.
Having made up his mind, Chen Jisheng said: "It's not much, just ten horses are enough, if you think the silver is less, I can add a little more." ”
"Ten horses......."
The Manchurian woman had a look of embarrassment on her face, and her family mainly herded sheep, not horses. She can handle ten horses, but she will definitely cause problems for the family.
"You want too much, I don't have so many horses right now." The Manchurian woman hesitated.
As she spoke, her eyes were always peeking around, as if she was looking for something.
The Manchurian woman's reaction completely fell into Chen Jisheng's eyes, and he hadn't been able to understand what the woman was looking at in a panic at first?
Soon, Chen Jisheng knew that the Manchurian woman was deliberately delaying time. Clearly, she was waiting for the man in the family to come back.
From this point of view, the man in this woman's family should not go far. After seeing through the purpose of the Manchurian woman, Chen Jisheng no longer inked with her, and immediately snorted coldly: "Don't play tricks, bring ten horses immediately, dare to delay a little longer, you will be splashed with blood on the spot." ”
The long knife in Chen Jisheng's hand was raised slightly, pointing at the woman in front of him, he had been on the battlefield for a long time, once he launched a surge, his might was not something ordinary people could bear.
The Manchurian woman's face suddenly turned bloodless. As Chen Jisheng said, she didn't dare to delay for a moment, turned around and entered the horse pen and opened the fence.
Chen Jisheng was not worried that the woman would leave alone, and then motioned to the three guards behind him to follow.
The Manchurian woman was guarded by three guards, and she didn't dare to play any tricks, so she obediently led ten horses out.
After inspecting the ten horses a little and finding no problems, Chen Jisheng nodded and said with satisfaction: "Very good, for the sake of your cooperation, I will spare your life today." ”
Chen Jisheng didn't dare to stay for a long time, and the four of them quickly got on their horses, and the rest were led by three guards and galloped away. They did not dare to go to Mao Wenlong's hiding place, but bypassed the sight of the Manchurian woman, and only then went back.
Mao Wenlong had already asked someone to pick up Chen Lan in the middle of the mountain, and after several people converged, they identified the direction and rode away.
The sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard, and the Manchurian woman looked in the direction where Mao Wenlong had disappeared, and then turned over and got on her horse. rushed forward to call someone, obviously, she was not willing to let Mao Wenlong and the others leave like this.
The Manchurian woman is worthy of being a woman who grew up on horseback, and her riding skills are exquisite. The horse under the crotch is a rare BMW, and it disappeared into the vast grassland after a while.
