Chapter 372: Mid-Autumn Festival Murder Night (2)

The full moon on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival sprinkles the soft moonlight on the earth, reflecting everything like a dream, which has a unique romantic charm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt this time, it must be extremely wonderful for young people to take their beloved ones to walk under this moonlight.

Sodaka had such thoughts before, but this year's Mid-Autumn Festival was too special, especially at this time, he was leading two entourages to tiptoe, but he didn't dare to make a sound. He didn't take advantage of the night to have a tryst with his beloved girl, as some romantic love stories depict, but tried his best to save his own tribe on the verge of extinction.

That's right, Sodhaka is the brainy son of the head of the Chahar tribe, the fifth son. Although he is over 16 years old, he is not as strong and tall as other Mongolian men because he has been thin and sickly since he was a child, and he does not look much different from ordinary Han people.

It is precisely because of this that Sodaka is quite interested in Han culture, and he also fantasizes that one day he can go to the nearby Ming Dynasty to see and appreciate the customs there. And because he was relatively weak and could not drink, he would not have attended ordinary wine banquets, so that he escaped today's catastrophe, otherwise he would have been slaughtered like most of his tribesmen because he had eaten poisonous mutton.

When he was awakened in his sleep by the indistinct screams outside, he had a vague sense that something was wrong. Sodaka, who was also shrewd, quickly ran out of his tent when he saw that the situation was not good, and called two cronies to hide in the shadows to spy on them.

Then he saw a sight that shocked and angered him - his own people, those Chahar warriors who had fought countless battles with the enemy on the steppe and had almost never failed, were powerless to resist because they were poisoned, and were finally killed one by one by the Gai beggars, whom they had always looked down on.

Seeing his people being tortured and killed in front of him without any defense, watching their blood flow all over the ground, Sodhaka only felt his blood surging upward, his eyes were red, and his head was about to explode. Fortunately, he did not completely lose his mind, and knew that going out at this time would not only be useless but would also give him an extra life, so he endured it and thought hard about countermeasures.

After some thought, Sodaka finally had a plan to solve and found a helper who could save his people. If he wants to save people, he must have enough strength to fight the people of the Gai Beggars, and the entire Chahar people have lost their combat effectiveness because of this banquet, where else can he find help?

In fact, there are still some people, and in the Chahar Ministry, there is still a group of people who cannot participate in this banquet, so naturally they will not be poisoned. They are the slaves of the Chahar tribe, some of whom are usually despised and despised by others, and most of the time these slaves are forgotten by the people of the tribe.

Sodaka, however, thought of these people at such a critical juncture, and felt that they were the last hope of the Chahar tribe, so he quietly leaned into the tent area at the bottom of the tribal settlement to find the slave helpers.

Eventually, Sodaka's destination was unnoticed, and without waiting, he immediately lifted the tattered curtain of one of the tents and broke in.

"Who?" Immediately, there was a nervous rebuke. Obviously, the people in this tent also heard the movement outside, but they didn't have the courage to go out and take a look.

"I'm Sodaka, the big-brained son." Sodaka's eyes narrowed and glanced at the situation. Because it was impossible for a slave to have a lamp, the tent was extremely dim, and the moonlight outside could only penetrate a little, so that he could only see that there was a sturdy man who was nearly half taller than himself standing in front of him.

"You...... Can I help you? The man swallowed slightly, looking a little nervous and asked.

Sodaka, believing that he was frightened by the killing sounds outside, first reassured: "You don't need to panic, it is those Gai beggars who do not know whether they are alive or dead want to disadvantage us. Then he raised his voice and said with great majesty: "I want you to go with me to fight them, and kill all the damned Gaiqi tribes for our Chahar tribe!" ”

"For the sake of the Chahar Ministry?" The slave was stunned for a moment.

Sodaka was in a hurry to save his own people at this time, and he didn't hear the indifference in the other party's words at all, but just nodded and said, "Yes, you don't call everyone else up quickly, it's too late!" ”

The man grinned, then walked out of the tent and shouted outside: "All up, the Gai beggars are fighting the Chahars, Sodaka, let's go and fight the Gai beggars to protect the Chahar people!" ”

At this throat, the camp, which had been quiet, suddenly boiled, and countless ragged men, women, and children came out of the tent, some of which looked like Han people when they looked closely.

Because the level of production of the Mongolian people has always been low, there will be a large number of slaves in each tribe. The vast majority of them were captives and their descendants who were defeated and captured in battles with the tribe. As for the Han Chinese, because the Mongols sometimes went to the border to plunder, they would also be brought back easily, and thus became slaves who sold coolies.

These slaves had a very low status in the tribe, and sometimes they were not even as good as the cattle, sheep, horses, and other livestock raised by the tribesmen. Not only do they often not have enough to eat, but they do the most tiring and dirty work, and once something goes wrong, it is very common for them to be beaten to the flesh and beaten alive. And what makes them even more frightened is that sometimes, their own masters often torture them for an inexplicable reason.

Ironically, when the Chahar tribe was devastated, Sodhaka actually thought of asking these slaves for help!

When they came out, Sodaka's surprise was visibly stunned. Why did these people wait in the tent as if they had been prepared, and they all came out together as soon as they said hello? A faint uneasiness had arisen in his heart.

But at this moment, the situation was urgent, and Sodaka couldn't care about it so much, so he took out the identity of the patriarch's son and said loudly: "You all listen, this is your best chance to make meritorious contributions to our Chahar Department." The Ghabegs are plotting against us and want to kill all of our Chahars, so you must stand up and fight for the Chahars! ”

Sodaka's usual reading of a lot of Han Chinese books, and he has seen many stories of big people climbing to the top and shouting, and the people below will respond one after another, and then fight with the big guys, and finally achieve victory. Therefore, in his thoughts, as soon as his big-brained son was so agitated, these low-status slaves would not hesitate to cater to him, and then go to fight to the death against the Gaibeg.

But the reality greatly surprised him, when he finished speaking, the scene was cold, everyone looked at him with strange eyes, and no one responded.

This situation made Sodaka's expression stiffen suddenly, and he even felt annoyed and angry in his heart, how could these lowly slaves dare to treat their own patriarch's son like this? If they weren't useful now, he might have been furious.

Just when Sodaka was a little unsure of what to do, the stout slave beside him spoke, "You haven't told us yet, what good can we get by helping you fight the Gaibegs?" ”

"Oh......" Sodhaka understood. Indeed, I took it for granted before, they were not really from the Chahar tribe, and it was really difficult to impress them with any words to defend the tribe, and only by letting them know what the benefits of doing so could they make these slaves work for themselves.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and said: "This time it is my decision, as long as you can help drive out the people of the Gai Beggars, the people who have made the most meritorious contributions, I will let my father pardon their slave status and let them also become members of our Chahar tribe." As he spoke, he looked back at the man again: "You have done a good job, as long as you are brave enough in battle, I will definitely reward you well." ”

When the man heard this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "Sodhaka, you haven't even asked my name, how should you reward me then?" ”

"This ......" Sodaka, then realized how careless he was, and he hadn't even asked the name of the guy in front of him until now. In fact, it is no wonder that he has a deep-seated contempt for slaves, and even if it is useful to them now, it is inevitable that some details are overlooked.

Fortunately, Sodaka is a good boy who knows his mistakes and corrects them, and immediately glanced back at the other party: "What's your name?" ”

The smile on the man's face gradually turned cold, and he said in the same cold voice: "Listen well, remember, my name is Tuta!" ”

Hearing him speak to himself in such a tone and phrase made Sodhaka even more annoyed, and if he hadn't been able to use these lowly slaves now, he would have punished this daring creature well. However, he had already made up his mind that once it was done, he would definitely let this slave named Tuta know that he was powerful.

But then, his anger was replaced by fear, because Tuta's words were not finished. After reporting his name, the Mongolian man continued: "It is too insincere for us to ask us to work for your Chahar Department to only offer this little benefit. I think it's better to go the other way than to fight the beggars. ”

"You...... What do you want to do? Sodaka's heart suddenly became nervous, and his eyes showed even more panic, he had already thought of something.

Tuta grinned again, showing Bai Sensen's teeth: "It seems more beneficial for us to hand you over to the Gaibegs and then deal with the Chahars with them." You say, "Isn't it?" With that, he stretched out his hand and pinched Sodaka's neck in his large hand.

When the two relatives saw this situation, they were immediately stunned, and they reached out to draw the knife, but when they saw that their own master whose neck was pinched by Tuta and whose body had been lifted, their movements were a little sluggish.

At the same time, behind them, two rusty knives had quickly stabbed into their waists!
