Chapter 753: Servility

Tubro is a real person, and he also translated Liu Xin's words to himself. The two female gladiators suddenly fell to their knees together, kowtowing to Liu Xin again and again, and muttering something loudly.

Liu Xin didn't know why, raised his hand, and said, "Tell them to get up and talk slowly." ”

Tubro's face already showed a sudden expression, and he said, "Your Majesty is indeed a benevolent and righteous king!" These two women turned out to be a pair of sisters, and even Xiaomin didn't know that if it weren't for His Majesty's kindness, they would not have escaped the tragedy of cannibalism. ”

The two female gladiators had already gotten up from the ground, already in tears, still chattering in their mouths, probably still saying something grateful to Liu Xin. It turned out that the two sisters, one named Clea and the other named Maria, were originally the daughters of a city-state lord in Great Qin. Because this lord opposed the rule of the Great Qin Emperor, the city-state was broken by the Great Qin army, and both sisters were taken prisoner and sold into slavery.

At this time, the duels between the gladiators or with the beasts could no longer arouse the interest of the nobles of the Great Qin, and I don't know who suddenly thought of organizing a duel between female gladiators. Because they grew up in a noble family, learned horseback fencing, and were physically stronger than ordinary slave girls of the same age, they were sent to a gladiator school. The two sisters were bought by different masters, and they finally came together after defeating their respective opponents in duels again and again. If it weren't for the fact that Tubro had taken a fancy to him, the next duel would have taken place between the two of them.

Liu Xin didn't expect that there would be such a story between these two female gladiators, and she was also embarrassed, and said: "Take them down to change some of the clothes worn by the girls, and send them to Chang'an with those jewels and women." ”

The two female gladiators couldn't understand Liu Xin's words and still stood there stupidly. It wasn't until after being translated by the guard who knew a little about Daqin that they knelt on the ground again and said a lot of things that Liu Xin couldn't understand. But this time the guards understood, and the two women said that they must follow their master.

Liu Xin thought about it and felt that it was a little inappropriate to let them go to Chang'an. After all, these two women are gladiators, they can survive the duel again and again, they must be two dangerous characters, it is better to take them with you, maybe you can also take the opportunity to learn about the situation of Daqin, can't help but nodded, and said, "Then let the two of them stay." ”

When the two women heard that they could stay, they couldn't help but smile and happily went to the back to change their clothes.

Because I don't have to drink, today's luncheon ended much earlier than usual. Sun Ce arranged for a group of soldiers to escort the jewels and the twelve Great Qin slave girls sent by Tubro to Chang'an, while the others continued on their way.

Liya also changed into a strong outfit and rode a maroon red tall horse and appeared in the team. Her mount is a good horse originally produced in the Western Regions, and it is also incomparably superb, not inferior to Dawan Horse.

Sister Cleya had already taken off the Da Qin armor that was covered outside, dressed in the outfit of a woman from the Western Regions, with a metal collar around her neck, similar to the material of the armor, and a thick chain on the collar was directly tied to the saddle bridge, and the posture was very strange. They rode steppe horses equipped in the Han army, with sufficient endurance, stirrups, horseshoes, and sabers. The two horses were brought from the Han army camp in the city of Huni.

The city was an important node on the Silk Road, and its security was very important, so it built a Han military camp with 2,000 Han cavalry.

Liu Xin looked at Liya's mount, the saddle was empty, and couldn't help laughing, there was no stirrup, and she had to travel eight hundred miles a day, I was afraid it would be enough for this girl, and about a day later, she should go home noisily. Seeing that the two female gladiators actually tied themselves to the saddle bridge and did not put their feet in the stirrups, Liu Xin shook his head even more. However, in his mind, the two Great Qin women were not good at riding horses, and perhaps the safety measures they had taken to prevent them from falling off their horses did not say much, after all, stirrups were now one of the top secrets in the army, and there was no need for the two Great Qin gladiators to learn it.

The team left Mud City and traveled west, and arrived at the Essence that night. To Liu Xin's surprise, the Cleya sisters were very indecent because they tied themselves to the saddle with iron chains, but it did not affect their control of the horses at all, showing that they were also masters of horsemanship, which made Liu Xin, who had always thought that the Great Qin people were only good at infantry combat, have a new understanding of the combat power of Great Qin.

As for Leah, it is true that as Hani said, her riding skills are quite good. Riding a tall horse without stirrups, he actually followed the team closely and did not lag behind. It's just that there was no rest along the way, she relied on her legs to clamp her mount, and after getting off the horse, her walking posture obviously changed a little.

Liu Xin laughed and said, "How is it?" Your Royal Highness the Princess, can you still hold on? ”

Liya does like to ride horses, but usually galloping for an hour at most, when she has been galloping all the way like this for nearly three hours, if her two legs are closer, she will feel a tingling pain, and it is estimated that the skin on the inner thigh has worn out. But the little girl was very stubborn, gritted her teeth, and said, "It's okay! ”

Jingjue is a small country, and the city is also very small, so Liu Xin declined the kindness of King Jingjue, and the team did not enter the city, but only set up camp outside the city.

The most central place in the camp is Liu Xin's big tent, except that the camp tent is slightly larger and has a few more cases, compared with ordinary soldiers, there is nothing special. This is what Liu Xin has always emphasized, and it is also an important measure to enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Like the other soldiers, Liu Xin had no bed in his tent, only a sleeping bag. Liu Xin just wanted to lie down and rest, when there was a sudden sound of argument outside the tent door. Liu Xin frowned and asked, "What's the noise?" ”

A personal guard walked in and said, "Your Majesty, those two Great Qin women insist on entering the tent, and the brothers don't dare to use their knives, they can't stop them." ”

These Flying Tiger guards are all elites of a hundred battles, and they can't stop the two women without using their blades, which makes Liu Xin also pay attention to the strength of these two female gladiators, and ponder for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let them in." ”

In fact, the Flying Tiger guards didn't really stop them, just because the other party was a woman, and these young men didn't know where to stop. Fortunately, the Cleya sisters still wore a collar around their necks, and there was a long chain on the collar, and the guards had to pull the sisters by the chain, otherwise they would have rushed in.

The dispute outside the tent just now must have been a big move, the two female gladiators were disheveled, the iron chains were dragged by the guards, and they still struggled to twist their bodies, trying to break free, their eyes showed a fierce light, until they saw Liu Xin, and then they quieted down.

As long as he didn't charge into battle, Liu Xin was very confident in his martial arts, and he was not afraid of these two Great Qin women, he waved his hand and asked the guards to loosen the chains.

The two female gladiators were freed and immediately climbed in front of Liu Xin. For they were on all fours, and indeed crawled on the ground like dogs. Then he chained himself to a few cases and crouched next to the sleeping bag.

Liu Xin suddenly understood that they had chained themselves to the saddle along the way, not because they were afraid that they would fall, but because they showed their submission to Liu Xin. Servility has long been ingrained in the bones of the two sisters, and they don't know what kind of cruel training they need to go through to make a woman what she is now. I'm afraid that no matter what Liu Xin asks them to do now, they will do it.

In fact, if there are two female slaves with good skills who can follow him from the ground, it is not a bad thing for Liu Xin, who is on a long march. But Liu Xin came from later generations, and his concept was very different from that of people of this era, not to mention the Great Qin people in a foreign land. He would rather have two more women than two slave girls.

Liu Xin sighed, walked over to untie the chains, pulled them up from the ground, and threw them to the guards outside along with the collars around their necks. It was at this time that Liu Xin noticed that the two sisters were actually not bad-looking, probably because they often exercised, and their bodies were extremely hot.

When the Cleya sisters saw Liu Xin untie their collars, they immediately looked happy, and muttered a big call, Liu Xin couldn't understand it anyway, but no matter what Liu Xin said or gestured, they just refused to leave this big account. Liu Xin had no choice but to ask the guards to bring two sleeping bags and demonstrate to them. The sisters, too, were clever enough to see it once, picked up their sleeping bags and walked to a corner of the tent, and went into it with a red face.

Sun Ce was shocked to learn that the two female gladiators were actually staying in Liu Xin's tent, and did not dare to slack off, so he dispatched several personal guards to take turns to guard the tent, just in case. Although Liu Xin felt that it was unnecessary, this was Sun Ce's responsibility, and he had to do it.

After a night of silence, the next morning, the team continued to set off. Liya's movements on the horse were obviously much clumsy, she felt a little pain yesterday, she thought that she would be better after sleeping, but when she woke up this morning, the pain was even worse. It's just that she is very strong, clenching her teeth and not saying a word.

Although the Cleya sisters did not use stirrups, their situation was significantly better, after all, the training and life of gladiators was much more difficult, and the dueling arena was even more life-and-death, which was not worth mentioning in their eyes.

But today's itinerary was very tight, and they had to rush to Wujicheng that night, without any stops on the way, which was a great test of the physical strength of men and horses. Fortunately, the Han army built many military stations along the way, which could replenish water and food in time, and the horses could also get enough forage. Although the team was a little chaotic when they arrived in Wuji City, everyone was not left behind, but the situation of the three women was a little unoptimistic.
