"Now, can you tell me your name?" Sitting on the Hu bed next to the bed, Ye Zhao looked at the woman's cold gaze and said: "You are a Han person, as early as the first time I saw you, I have found out that the woman on the grassland, who has been weathered for a long time, is the daughter of a nobleman, because of the perennial migration, the skin will be extremely rough, but your skin is very delicate, by no means a person on the grassland, in addition, your martial arts road, when there is a famous person to guide you, and your attainments are extraordinary, Ye Mou's eyes are not blind, even if the girl is very ruthless, but in the subtleties, it should be a famous master, In the lower Ye Zhao, the lord of the Ye clan in Hanoi, Ye Xiu Minh. ”

The woman's gaze was still cold, but she lost her previous anger, and she looked at Ye Zhao for a long time, and just when Ye Zhao was ready to give up, the woman's chapped lips suddenly spoke: "Shuzhong, Bajun, Zhang Yue." ”

The voice was a little dry, and it seemed that he hadn't communicated with anyone for a long time, and his speech was a little stumbling, but Ye Zhao could still understand it.

"It's been a long time since I've spoken." Ye Zhao poured her a bowl of water: "Let's drink saliva first." ”

The woman was very weak, and she barely sat up with Ye Zhao's support, snatched the water bowl in Ye Zhao's hand, and drank the water in the bowl greedily.

"If you don't mind, I would like to know why Miss Zhang, a woman in Shu, appeared in this place, Shu is thousands of miles away?"

"Taiping Sect!" A touch of hatred flashed in Zhang Yue's eyes.

"Taiping Sect?" Ye Zhao's heart moved, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Yue, and said with a solemn expression: "You tell me in detail what happened, this matter is very important!" ”

Maybe it was Ye Zhao's life-saving grace that made her let go of some of the guards in her heart, or maybe this matter was not so important to her, at Ye Zhao's request, Zhang Yue carefully said how she appeared here.

Zhang's family in Ba County, not a big family, but also a wealthy family, the road in Shu is difficult to travel, has been in a semi-closed state, in the Central Plains, a hundred years of family can be regarded as a big family, but in Bashu is different, in the Central Plains, the world is big enough, the path of rise is also many, as long as a generation can appear a wonderful and brilliant generation, as long as it can ensure that nothing goes wrong within three generations, can be among the family.

However, in Shuzhong, limited by geography, the top-level position has been carved up as early as the beginning, so let alone a hundred years, even if it is a family of two hundred years or three hundred years, it may not be able to be called a family in Shuzhong, and the Zhang family is a century-old wealthy family.

Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the Zhang family has discovered a great secret, that is, about the secret dirty things between the Taiping Sect and Jia Long, a famous scholar in Shu.

What is the specific thing, Zhang Yue didn't say, maybe I don't know, maybe I don't trust, in short, the matter was revealed, Zhang's family was destroyed, although Zhang Yue escaped, all the way to the Western Regions, but was inadvertently caught by Yongzhou Taiping Road, as a slave in exchange for horses, Ye Zhao also knew at this time, it turned out that the Taiping Sect secretly traded with the Xianbei people at night, but compared with Ye Zhao's side with salt and iron, food and cloth as the main trading goods, the disciples of the Taiping Sect are similar to those Hu people outside Macheng now, what do the Xianbei people want, They will find a way to get something, and then come in exchange for a war horse.

As for what to do with the war horse, it is naturally self-evident, at that time, a tribe in Xianbei proposed to exchange the beauties of the Central Plains, so Zhang Yue became a victim of this transaction.

After being sent to the Xianbei royal court to curry favor with Helian, with Zhang Yue, there were thirty women, except for Zhang Yue, the others died, as for how they died, Zhang Yue didn't say, Ye Zhao was probably able to guess a little, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the last days, but compared to the women who can completely sell their bodies in order to survive in the last days, the women of this era still have the concept of chastity, even if the Han Dynasty is open, but if you encounter something beyond the moral bottom line, you will fiercely resist and even pay the price of death.

Zhang Yue is lucky, but also unlucky, in order to avoid being insulted like other women, she disfigured herself, and in order to survive, she became a war slave of the Xianbei people.

The so-called war slaves are not used to fight, but a kind of slave for the Xianbei nobles to play, fighting with wild beasts, in order to be able to fight excitingly, those Xianbei nobles will give them enough food and teach them how to fight.

Zhang Yue was sold to Xianbei from the age of thirteen, and spent a total of five years there as a war slave, she once fought with wild wolves with her hand, fought against wolves with a group of war slaves, and even was shot as prey by Xianbei nobles as prey.

Ye Zhao didn't know how she lived the past five years as a woman, but presumably the process was not wonderful, as for why she fled here, it was a group of Xianbei nobles who came up with a way to have fun after drinking, and bet on Zhang Yue to see who could be happy with her the longest.

Very interesting game, they played with their lives, and Zhang Yue, who was already numb, killed all the Xianbei nobles present in one go, including three Xianbei heads and big tribe leaders.

Then he fled all the way out until he was rescued by Ye Zhao.

This is a woman who has never been written in the history books, but it is undeniable that compared to those who have been praised by history, Zhang Yue, a woman with a spirit of resistance, is more worthy of praise, Ye Zhao believes that if she did not appear, this woman, the original fate, should be to finally die under the pursuit of the Xianbei people, become a little dust in the long river of history, and even the waves can't splash a flower.

"Want revenge?" Ye Zhao ruffled her hair, looked at the shocking scar, and asked, "Those who have ruined your family." ”

"Yes." Zhang Yue raised her head, and in her cold eyes, a suffocating flame flickered.

"Take care of your body first, if you want revenge, at least you have to live, the dead, you are not qualified to say anything about revenge." Ye Zhao helped her lie down, stood up and walked out, and the voice came from afar: "Now I don't have the ability to give you any guarantees, because even I, in this damn world, don't know what tomorrow will bring, but as long as I don't die, I will come out one day." ”

Zhang Yue silently watched Ye Zhao's back disappear at the door, picked up the porridge sent by the people on the table, and drank it all in one go, before falling asleep.

Half a month later, Liu Mao rushed to Macheng with the generals and county officials assigned to him by Liu Yan to hand over the handover.

"Congratulations to Brother Xiu Ming for his promotion, this time he is the captain of Wuhuan Guard, and I wish Brother Xiu Ming a smooth career." Macheng County Ya, after officially handing over the seal letter, Liu Mao smiled at Ye Zhao.

"Brother Chengzi Sheng's auspicious words." Ye Zhaoyi arched his hand and said: "If you have a place to go, send someone to Jundu Mountain to deliver a message." ”

"Don't worry, above the government affairs, if there is anything you don't understand, you will definitely ask Brother Xiuming for advice." Liu Mao said with a smile.

"Those eighteen gates are the people who guard the horse city, and the beacon tower must still be prepared, and you can't slack off!" Ye Zhao said with a smile.

Without waiting for Liu Mao to speak, the generals beside him frowned, hugged his fists at Ye Zhao and saluted: "General Ye, now that the captain of Macheng is already below, how to deploy defenses, there is his own judgment below, although General Ye's officer position is above a certain level, but it is a little inappropriate to meddle in the military affairs of my Macheng like this, right?" ”

Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows, looked at this person, and waved his hand to stop Guan Hai, who wanted to attack.

"Sun De, don't be rude!" Liu Mao's face changed, and he scolded sharply.

"This is ......," Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Brother Xiuming, don't blame, this person's surname is Sun Mingde, he is a brave man invited by his father from Luoyang, not only quite proficient in the art of war, but also has the courage of ten thousand people, this time my father is also worried about the chaos of law and order in the place here, so he was sent to me, this person has the ability, but he has a bad temper, Brother Xiuming must not be blamed." Liu Mao said with a smile.

"It's okay, people who have the ability to have some tempers are inevitable." Ye Zhao glanced at Sun De and said to Liu Mao: "Then I will leave now." ”

"Brother Xiuming, let's go."

"My lord, why should you let him go?" Leaving the county office, Guan Hai came to Ye Zhao's side, turned his head and glared fiercely in the direction of the county office, and said in a muffled voice.

"If you can't kill him, why make more trouble?" Ye Zhao said with a smile: "This person has a temperament, if he has no real ability, in this place, there will be hardships for him to eat in the future, just sit and watch." ”

Just as everyone was about to leave, a sturdy figure appeared in front of Ye Zhao and his party, it was Zhang Yue.

"Got it figured?" Ye Zhao looked at Zhang Yue and said with a smile.

"See the master." Zhang Yue intervened in Ye Zhao's hand.

"Lord, do you really want to take a woman on the road?" Guan Hai said with a disgusted face.

As soon as the words fell, a strong wind suddenly rose, and a feeling of extreme danger came, Guan Hai's face changed, his body slid on the horse's back, and he slid off the horse's back in embarrassment, but the sense of crisis was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and it did not dissipate because of this.

Guan Hai roared, a dry land plucked onions, the burly body slammed up from the ground, the elbow smashed down, the woman who was very crazy in his eyes twisted strangely, and grabbed his arm and fell down, Guan Hai's elbow smashed the ground, and he grinned in pain, and the next moment, a dagger with cold light was already across his neck.

"You...... Sneak attack, not a man! As the first fierce general under Ye Zhao, the fierce man who has been threatening the north for two years has been subdued by a woman at this moment, and Guan Hai's rough face is flushed.

"Brother Guan, people are not men in the first place." Meng Hu on the side said with a smile.

"That's it!" Ye Zhao waved his hand, and Zhang Yue took advantage of the situation to put away the dagger and stand beside Ye Zhao.

Guan Hai glared at Zhang Yue indignantly and said, "If you fight immediately, you are definitely not my enemy." ”

Zhang Yue didn't refute, just stood silently behind Ye Zhao, without even looking at him, which made Guan Hai even more angry, but there was no way to vent.

"Ascension!" Ye Zhao shook his head amusedly, and Gao Sheng on the side hurriedly brought a wooden box.

Ye Zhao opened the wooden box and took out a mask from it, made of bronze, with a blue-faced and fanged face engraved on it, which looked very terrifying.

Hand the mask to Zhang Yue and said, "When you go out in the future, you will take it with you." ”

"Whoa!" Zhang Yue stretched out her hand to take the mask and put it directly on her face, her cold temperament and this Shura mask looked even more permeable than before.

"Let's go!" Ye Zhao nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and led everyone out of the city.
