It is one of the few cities built by the Han Dynasty in the southwest of Yi, and it is the seat of the county of Qiqi, and the county is Zhu Bao. As they approached the city, they suddenly found that the gates were closed, and a large army came out of the north gate, each dressed in leather armor and armed with swords and shields. Pang Tong looked indifferent and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The local man sweated and said, "It's time for something big, you can't enter the city." He took the reins, and the two big oxen stopped, gasping for breath in their noses. The green grass on the grassland moved with the hot wind, and Pang Tong and Xueyue were already wearing short sleeves. Pang Tong gasped and said, "Could it be that there is a war?" ”

The coachman shook his head and said, "I don't know, there should be something important." If you go out to train the army, you won't close the city gates. ”

Pang Tong, who was called "really unlucky", frowned and said: "In this kind of place, you can't enter the city, where can you go?" ”

The coachman spread his hands and said, "There is no way to do it, there is no place for you to go within a hundred miles." The tribes here will not come into contact with outsiders, and some of the badly behaved tribes are very resistant to outsiders, and if you step into their territory, you will probably have to fall to the ground. ”

Xue Yue couldn't help but call out: "Then what should I do?" ”

"Don't scream, let me think." Pang Tong, who was sitting on the ox cart pulling goods, pondered for a while. When the coachman saw that they had no intention of leaving, he sat down and untied the water bag from his waist and drank the water with a clatter.

Suddenly, he moved his gaze to Pang Tong, who was oozing sweat from the thick pores of the coachman's owner, and asked casually, "Brother, are you from the city?" ”

"How can it be, most of the people in the city are Han Chinese and some people from the tribes who do business in it. I'm from the Yejin tribe thirty miles northeast of Qiqi City, stranger, don't think of coming to us. ”

Pang Tong, who was seen through his thoughts, asked puzzledly: "Can't you take in two people?" There is no problem with silver. ”

"It's not about the silver." Dahan looked back at him, showed a sincere smile and said, "We are a weak people, and we are often bullied. If you go to our clan and happen to encounter those powerful tribes to rob you, it will be very troublesome. ”

"Bullying the weak is the work of a coward!" Pang Tong, who was churning with blood, said coldly: "Annexing other clans with the least loss is the most clever means. ”

After listening to his words, the big man laughed and said, "My name is Jinda, and I am really lucky to meet you as an interesting person." Our tribe isn't as polite as you might think. That's the thinking of the Han people. With us, if one tribe conquers and another tribe conquers, it becomes a slave. That is, what you Han people call 'inferior people'. That would be terrible. So despite the heavy losses and the defeat every time, we took close precautions to avoid the rout of the whole clan. Often, they harvested the rice and other plants outside the village, as well as cattle and pigs. It's good to guard Dazhai. ”

Pang Tong looked at his yellow teeth, his smiling expression, and the suffering things he was telling, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart. He said, "I'll go to your tribe and take us in." ”

"Are you crazy?" Jinda looked at him in amazement.

Pang Tong, who took out a piece of gold from his belt, said, "Give." ”

He threw the gold over, and Jinda's eyes lit up and he caught it immediately. The big man looked at the piece of gold carefully, put it between his teeth and gritted it, "Isn't it too extravagant to take such a valuable thing?" I can't ask for anything like this. He threw the gold away.

Pang Tong, who was a little surprised, hurriedly caught it and said, "Can't you stay overnight?" We are strangers who can't go anywhere, and if we are left behind, we will die. ”

"Gone." Jinda, who was sitting back, threw the reins, and the two big oxen ran again. Without looking back, he said, "I can't ask you for something so valuable." Just go back and give some broken silver. Although our Yejin clan is weak, our etiquette is incomparable to those surrounding tribes. It's also because of this that other tribes will look down on it. That can't be helped, the patriarch has always thought that only by learning from the Han people can we become strong and excellent, but unfortunately we seem to have been standing still and have not made much progress. ”

Xue Yue said: "How to study?" ”

"Learn from the etiquette, you can't be too arrogant and rude. Haha, no one teaches, and only I have to comprehend it, it seems to be ...... Close...... What's coming. ”

Pang Tong, who was laughing, said loudly: "Behind closed doors!" ”

The three of them talked and laughed along the way. Pang Tong learned from Jinda that the Yejin people had been committed to learning the living habits of the Han people in recent decades, learning Han and other rituals, including Han rice cultivation techniques. However, because they are all groping by themselves, there is no systematic learning, and the progress is very slow. Although the people of the tribe are not as powerful and arrogant as the other tribes, they are much more polite than the other tribes. It is precisely because of this that several surrounding tribes are not used to them, and they come to disturb them from time to time, all to make fun of them.

Coincidentally, when they came to the big village built on the mountain in the evening, there was chaos outside the village.

Some of the men in open sleeveless shirts roared loudly with their scimitars in the air. At the bottom of the wooden village there is a stone wall more than a zhang high, and the wooden gate is closed.

Jinda immediately stopped the ox cart and drove into the nearby woods. Pang Tong saw that the strong man's body was trembling, and it was a sense of fear that was spreading. Pang Tong's hand touched it and patted him on the shoulder. "Ahh The strong man shuddered in horror for a moment and looked back at him.

Jinda's stiff face was like a frightened bird. Pang Tong, whose voice was calm, whispered, "Go over and take a look." ”

Jinda shook her head decisively, sweat constantly spilling down her forehead, and she couldn't tell which ones were warm and which ones were cold sweat oozing out of fear. Pang Tong didn't care what this man was thinking, he jumped directly out of the ox cart and said to Xue Yue, who was about to get up in the car: "You wait here, don't run around, I'll go over and take a look." ”

Xue Yue was silent.

Pang Tong patted the package on his back and made sure that the two ordinary iron swords inside were still there. He began to walk briskly, weaving through the trees. After one mile of Dayue, it reached the edge of the forest, and the distance from Dazhai was only half a mile.

His face began to distort, what were those barbarians doing?

Outside the gate, the cavalry shouted wildly, and four of them carried four bloody heads in their hands. The calm-faced, lifeless heads swayed casually in their hands.

But that's not the only horror. On the ground, which was filled with the screams of women, three bronzed-skinned women were stripped naked, and a group of soldiers were surrounding them laughing, one by one, taking turns to commit violence against them. These crazy guys use their maximum force to exert force on the woman's delicate body. Lewd laughter and screams mingled. Pang Tong could predict that the heads and the women belonged to the tribe in the village. But because they did not have the ability to fight for the cavalry of hundreds of men outside the wall, they closed their doors. In addition, in the grass on the east side, Pang Tong saw a faint human head, where a large number of soldiers must have been ambushed, so that after the people in the village rushed out, they would ambush and rush into the village in one fell swoop, then the nation would be finished.

No matter how the women shouted, the men inside seemed to be able to endure all the silence of silence. The furious Pang Tong gritted his teeth and looked helplessly, if Lu Bu was on the side now, he would definitely have the courage to rush out. But now, he was as cowardly as the men in the village. An hour later, the women had no strength to resist or scream, and lay silently on the ground, at the mercy of the soldiers. After another half an hour, the men threw their heads into the village. The soldiers around the woman also got on their horses, and he left with a cheer. Then out of the grass came thousands of soldiers, who followed the cavalry in a southeasterly direction.

Pang Tong, whose excited nerves had relaxed, finally walked over, and he saw the bodies of three women lying like corpses, two of whom should be in their twenties and one in their forties. Their bodies were covered in mud, and their underparts were covered in that mixture of clear liquid and blood. Their faces were glazed over, and blood was spilling from their lips and chests.
