Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Woman

In the grassland, women belong to the absolute disadvantaged group, there is no law here, even if the Han Dynasty next door has established a civilization that is ahead of the entire era, but here, it still adheres to the most primitive and barbaric law of the jungle, women are here, they belong to the same cargo existence as cattle, sheep and horses, and in the horse city, there are many such Hu women who are sent as goods, and they have changed food, weapons, and broken promises.

A good-looking woman can only exchange for a bag of salt in Macheng, which is not even as valuable as a sheep, this is the fate of a grassland woman.

But the more oppressive, the more fierce the resistance often comes, and when Ye Zhao took people up the hill, he saw such a woman who rebelled against fate.

On the galloping war horse, a knight named Xianbei had caught up with the woman running wildly on the grassland, and two legs could not always outrun four legs.

She has a very tall figure, at least among women, she belongs to the tall kind, and she is also very flexible, when Ye Zhao walked up to the hillock, he saw that this woman could not escape, and he suddenly burst out.

Like a cheetah, he jumped on the back of a war horse, holding a short blade in his hand, and easily slit the knight's throat, and in the blooming blood, the man had already used his strength to rush to the other war horse.

The knight on horseback was obviously prepared, and the blade in his hand slashed towards the woman without hesitation, only to see that the woman's body twisted strangely in the air, and a cut was made on her shoulder, but the short blade in her hand had already pierced into the opponent's chest, and its ruthlessness and decisiveness made many people behind Ye Zhao gasp.

Exchanging injuries for lives, from the perspective of a bystander, this is the only way for a woman to live, a person is in the air, it is impossible to completely avoid that knife in that situation, change places, even if Ye Zhao has been killed countless times in his previous life, he does not dare to guarantee that he can be so decisive in that situation, but the woman not only made a judgment in the shortest possible time, but also put it into action, this calmness and decisiveness are enough to make countless men embarrassed.

The woman didn't seem to know how to ride, and she didn't run away after grabbing the horse, but jumped quickly on the back of the horse again, and pounced fiercely on the third knight, this time it was not the knight itself, but the war horse he sat on, the dagger stabbed into the horse's neck, rolled on the ground, and without waiting for the knight to react, he came over and stopped him, and the galloping horse's hooves stepped down, directly stepping on the knight's spine, but the woman took advantage of the cover to get into the other horse that followed.

In all fairness, these knights who chased and killed women were by no means rabble, they cooperated with each other tacitly, and the riding formation was also very rigorous, on the grassland, they could do it to this extent, it was already elite, but the woman was able to fight back under the pursuit of more than a dozen knights, the ruthlessness of its means, and the decisiveness of its actions were amazing, but what amazed Ye Zhao even more was that the woman was calm in this situation.

"That's the people of that tribe." Ye Zhao raised his horsewhip and pointed at those knights and asked.

"It's not like the tribes in this area of Danhan Mountain, they don't have such elite warriors." Guan Hai shook his head, the tribes in the area of Danhan Mountain, in the past two years, he has more or less intersected, if it is the surrounding tribes, he can recognize it.

"Help!" Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, since he is not from this side, then there is no need to have any worries.

"Whoa!" Guan Hai didn't ask the reason, since Ye Zhao had already spoken, what they had to do was to implement it unconditionally, this is a concept that Ye Zhao has been giving them through training soldiers for the past two years, and the soldiers don't need to know too much, they just need to implement it.

Behind Ye Zhao, the six knights moved when they heard the wind, and under the leadership of Guan Hai, after a short sprint, the speed quickly soared to the extreme, and when they gathered for hundreds of steps, they quickly took off their bows and arrows from their horses one by one, and shot at the dozen or so Xianbei knights.

The six people are Ye Zhao's carefully selected soldiers from the two thousand officers and soldiers in the past two years to focus on training, the training intensity is high, the supply of meat is sufficient, the six people are not comparable to fierce generals, but each of them is skilled in arches and horses, can be one enemy and ten elite warriors, just one round of salvo down, the opponent's people are less than half, and two of them have two clusters of arrows shot through the chests of two enemies at the same time.

Guan Hai had already taken off his thick-backed combat knife, like a storm half swept through the camp of the Xianbei people, three heads flew into the sky, and before these Xianbei people who were stunned by the sudden blow reacted, six warriors had already killed and wounded, and the knives in their hands fell, and the remaining Xianbei warriors were killed in an instant, just a convergence, and all the Xianbei people present were killed, leaving only the woman holding a short blade, like a female leopard, vigilantly staring at Guan Hai and the others.

The sense of crisis brought to her by these people was stronger than that of the Xianbei elites before.

Guan Hai turned over and dismounted, hung the war knife on the horse's back, looked at the woman, and said in a muffled voice: "Girl, my lord wants to see you." ”

The woman didn't answer, just stared at Guan Hai vigilantly.

Guan Hai frowned slightly when he saw this, and said it again in a lame Xianbei sentence, but the woman still looked at him vigilantly.

"Stand down." Ye Zhao had already come with Qiu Chi at this moment, looked down at the woman, waved his hand and said, "Girl, get up and speak, we have no malice." ”

The woman was still indifferent, staring at Ye Zhao coldly.

"Lord, she doesn't seem to understand our words, Zhongyuan dialect, Xianbei dialect doesn't understand." Guan Hai came to Ye Zhao's side and said in a low voice.

Ye Zhao looked down at the woman, on the face that should have been delicate, a scar from the corner of the left eyebrow that ran through the entire cheek to the right side of the chin completely destroyed the cheek that should have been beautiful, the scar should have been some years old, because the relationship was not dealt with in time, the originally delicate cheeks looked extremely hideous, and the clothes on the body could no longer cover the body, but the exposed skin could not attract any man's attention, the rolled wounds, and the criss-crossing scars, just looking at it, I felt shocking, It's hard to imagine what happened to this woman, but the stubbornness and desire for life revealed in her eyes made Ye Zhao feel a sense of déjà vu.

He turned over and dismounted, took off his cloak, and walked towards the woman.

"Whew~"

The woman's figure suddenly moved, and the short blade in her hand stabbed Ye Zhao fiercely.

The distance was too close, even if Guan Hai and the others were always vigilant about the woman's movements, but the timing she chose was too good, it was the moment when Ye Zhao approached her, Guan Hai and the others couldn't help at all, they could only watch the woman pounce on Ye Zhao.

The cold short blade was pinched by Ye Zhao's hand, and he casually draped the cloak on the woman's shoulder, and in the woman's puzzled gaze, Ye Zhao smiled and said: "Your injuries can't last long, come back with me, there are the best healers in Macheng who can help you deal with your wounds, and there is abundant food there." ”

The woman looked at Ye Zhao in a daze, she didn't know if she understood, Ye Zhao didn't pay attention to it, turned her head to look at Guan Hai and said, "Is there a living mouth?" ”

"One left." Guan Hai nodded.

"Bring him here."

"Whoa!"

The two guards brought a Xianbei warrior who had been pierced through the waist by a sharp arrow to Ye Zhao.

"You are not from the Sangan tribes, they don't have such elite people, who are you?" Ye Zhao looked at this Xianbei warrior, and said it fluently, he had found out that something was wrong before, although the outfit was similar to that of the Sanggan tribe, but the fierce spirit of these people was definitely not something that the stragglers of a small tribe like the Sanggan tribe could have.

"We are the people of the royal court!" Although the Xianbei warrior was injured, he glared at Ye Zhao fiercely, without the slightest fear.

"The royal court?" Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, pointed at the woman and said, "Why do you want to hunt her down?" ”

"She assassinated three royal court leaders one after another."

Ye Zhao nodded, did not continue to ask, and waved his hand.

"Poof~" One of the guards drew his knife and wiped his neck cleanly.

"Lord, this should be the Xianbei Royal Court, we ......" Qiu Chi said with some hesitation, Xianbei has been divided into three parts since the death of Tanshi Huai, and the strength of the royal court has long lived up to the strength of the Tanshi Huai period, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, according to the intelligence of all parties, even now, there are still dozens of tribes under the command of Xianbei Wangting, nearly 200,000 people, the tribes on the grassland, can be called all the soldiers, this matter is not handled well, it is not as simple as killing a few small tribe leaders before, it is likely to become a diplomatic problem, and the consequences are very serious, By no means something that a small Ponyville can afford.

"Handle it cleanly." Ye Zhao turned his head to look at Guan Haidao.

"Whoa!"

Looking at Qiu Chi with an anxious face, Ye Zhao smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, let's not talk about whether he can find out, even if he does, do you think the current Xianbei Royal Court has the courage to start a war with the Great Han?" ”

On the grassland, the strong are respected, the orthodox concept is not strong, the royal court has been declining, and even Danhan Mountain has now become the sphere of influence of Macheng, Ye Zhao has established eighteen guancheng in Macheng in the past two years, in order to resist their attacks if they turn against these Xianbei people in the future.

"Let's go." Ye Zhao waved his hand, signaling that Qiu Chi didn't have to say more, even if he really came, Ye Zhao was confident that he would stop them, just right, before leaving, he would make another great contribution, and when the time came, he would really be able to jump into the sight of those bigwigs in the court.

"Whoa!"

The group quickly cleaned up the traces on these Xianbei people and took back the arrow clusters, as for the corpses, they did not specifically clean them up, and at night, the wild wolves everywhere in the grassland would be happy to help them.

left a war horse for the woman, Ye Zhao did not persuade again, and led everyone back in the direction of Macheng.

The woman hesitantly glanced at the direction in which Ye Zhao and his party left, and did not ride a horse, but followed Ye Zhao and the others far behind on foot.
