Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Road Idiot and the Huns
The Snow Maiden moved quickly, and after just a few days, she was done with the matter and sold the Concubine Snow Pavilion for a very high price. also gave those dancers and musicians a considerable severance pay.
Then he took Concubine Yan and Ye Chenhe and set off together and embarked on a journey to South Korea.
This time, the itinerary is very clear, the target location is Xinzheng, South Korea, passing through the Zhao and Wei countries.
Because the Snow Girl wanted to go back to her hometown to have a look, she chose the route in the southwest direction, which was not only closer, but also just enough to pass through Handan without delaying the trip.
Half a month passed in a hurry, a sunny day, the bright sun shone on the earth, a road that was not too spacious, but smooth, the three of them drove the horses a little hurriedly.
Ye Chen looked ahead, then looked at the map in his hand very seriously, and then frowned.
After a while, he turned his head to look at the Snow Maiden who was chatting with Concubine Yan on the left, and said, "Xue'er, I found a very serious problem. ”
When the Snow Girl heard this, she immediately became vigilant: "What's the matter, is something wrong?" ”
The former said solemnly: "We seem to have taken a fork in the road......
When the words fell, Xue Nu and Concubine Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and then said: "Can you go wrong with a map?" ”
Ye Chen coughed dryly twice with a little embarrassment: "That, the terrain here is too complicated, and the map is so simple, so there was a little mistake." ”
He didn't expect that they were all reborn through the crossing, and the problems of the road idiot in his previous life were surprisingly brought over.
"How many small mistakes do you mean?"
Snow Maiden asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, it's not much ......"
The former is a little embarrassed.
"How much worse is it?"
Snow Maiden asked.
Ye Chen replied: "Well, I don't know the specifics, but there seem to be some mistakes in the direction......"
The Snow Girl couldn't help but raise her hand to support her forehead, she didn't expect the other party to be so unreliable in this regard, and sighed and said, "Okay, I can only find someone to ask." ”
As he spoke, he continued to move towards a small city that loomed in his sight.
After a stick of incense, the county seat appeared in front of me, but it was very dilapidated, the city gate was wide open, and there was not even a guard, a bleak scene.
As you can imagine, this should be a place of extreme poverty and poverty.
Ye Chen looked around, and then found a stone tablet nearby.
The three of them turned over and dismounted, waved their sleeves to blow away the dust on them, and then looked at them.
There is a line engraved on it: "Shuangliu County in the north of Zhao State, about 30 miles away from the national border." ”
"That's what you're talking about, just a little bit?"
The Snow Maiden's voice sounded behind itself.
When Ye Chen heard this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face: "Well, I mean it's only a little bit off on the map." Although there were some mistakes, the general direction was still correct, it was to the west. ”
Hearing this, Xue Nu said without hesitation: "We were originally going to pass through Handan, Zhao State, and go to Korea, and we should go southwest.
It's better now, go north directly, if you don't find out that the route is wrong, I guess we will have to leave the Central Plains in two days, right? ”
Ye Chen coughed lightly twice to hide his embarrassment, and then said with a smile: "As the saying goes, it's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, it's good for us to walk more, and now that South Korea is due south, it is very sure that there will be no more mistakes." ”
When the snow girl heard this, she couldn't help but sigh, she didn't expect to be so far away from the destination, and she must not let the other party lead the way next time.
Ye Chen said: "Since we have come here, let's walk around and feel the simple folk customs here." ”
As he spoke, he walked toward the city gate.
And at this moment, there was a group of people in ragged clothes, carrying shabby packages, running out of the city as if fleeing for their lives, with a look of fear on their faces.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chen and the others were a little surprised, they didn't know why this happened, even if they fled from famine, they didn't have to run so desperately, right?
Then he grabbed a thin middle-aged man and asked, "This brother, I don't know what happened, you want to ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, the man shouted, "Quick, run!" ”
As he shouted, he broke free of the former's palm, and one of them stumbled and fell to the ground, and his sleeve was torn.
But he didn't pay the slightest attention, and stood up with a rolling belt, and then continued to run with all his strength.
Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help frowning, he felt as if something not so good had happened.
Just then, there was the sound of horses' hooves.
Ye Chen turned his head to look and saw a team of men wearing animal skin velvet clothes and strange hairstyles rushing towards them on horseback.
In his hands, he was carrying blood-stained scimitars, screaming and screaming, with a hideous and excited expression on his face.
Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help frowning, and said coldly: "Huns." ”
The Xiongnu are a nomadic people on the northern grasslands, good at riding horses and archery, fierce by nature, because of low productivity and not enough resources and food, so they often invade the Central Plains, rape and plunder, and are hated by countless people.
When they saw these Hun cavalry chasing after them, those people were suddenly frightened and tried harder to escape.
But how can ordinary people outrun a four-legged war horse? It was quickly caught up.
Then, a Hun raised his scimitar and slashed at the fleeing woman without mercy.
And at this critical moment, a sharp and swift energy burst out, piercing directly through the man's chest like a sharp arrow.
With a splash of bright red blood, the ugly and hideous man screamed miserably, fell off his horse, and immediately lost his breath.
At this time, the rest of the Huns, who were enjoying the fun of chasing prey, were first shocked after seeing this scene, and then looked at Ye Chen and the others.
Except for the fleeing people and the Huns, there are only a few of them left, so the target is easy to confirm.
Immediately afterwards, the Huns kicked the horse's belly with both legs, and the war horse under the crotch neighed, and rushed towards the former.
Seeing this, Ye Chen's eyes flashed with a cold killing intent, and then the Heavenly Demon Qin appeared in his hand, and his fingers caressed the strings.
With the sound of the harp, sound waves burst out, like an incomparably sharp blade, tearing through the air and flying away.
Bright red blood splattered, and more than a dozen heads slipped off their shoulders in unison, falling on the dusty ground. Immediately after that, the body that lost its head also fell directly.
For these Xiongnu who burned, killed and plundered, he did not have a trace of compassion, seeing one by one, killing one by one, letting them go will only make more people suffer......
