It's a girl's voice.

The voice is as crisp as a yellow warbler, tactful and pleasant. The words that came out of his mouth were full of coldness.

Pei Zhang looked over coldly.

The flames of the fire, more than a man, illuminated the open space. The native girl holding a scimitar in her hand happened to be standing next to Pei Jue, who was tied up.

This native girl has a not fair face, but a pale wheat color. His long hair was braided into many slender braids that fell down his chest and back. He wears a pale blue turban around his head.

The clothes she wore were also quite strange, with a short blouse that only reached her waist, revealing two arms and a small slender waist. The lower body is not wearing a long skirt, but pants that are easy to move.

Her eyes were bright and charming, her nose was red and her lips were red, revealing wild and unruly beauty. This kind of beauty is completely different from those elegant and quiet ladies in the capital. Just like a female leopard in the mountains, beautiful, wild and dangerous.

No wonder several sons of the Pei family were dumbfounded together.

This girl obviously has a different status among the natives, and as soon as she appeared, the natives who had been screaming immediately quieted down.

The natives were holding wooden knives and bamboo arrows in their hands, but the scimitar in the hands of this native-girl was made of iron, although it was not as sharp as the long knife in Pei Zhang's hand, it was enough to break Pei Jue's neck.

Pei Jue couldn't speak, and his eyes were full of shame. I don't have the courage to look at my brother, and I can't wait to find a hole to get into.

Pei Zhang was full of anger, but he threw a mouse bogey, raised his hand, and signaled everyone to stop.

The gaze of the native girl fell on Pei Zhang's handsome face.

As the sister-in-law of the Pei family, Pei Zhang has been in and out of the palace since he was a child. Later, he became the commander of the imperial guards. A demeanor far better than ordinary teenagers. Not to mention the indigenous tribes in the mountains.

Pei Zhang came out in a hurry today, and he didn't change his clothes, but wore a half-new sky blue military uniform. Trim eyebrows and long eyes, handsome face like jade. A few strands of white hair on the sideburns made him a little more vicissitudes. Holding a sharp blade, the whole person is sharp.

The native girl has grown so big, and she has never seen such a wonderful young man. I couldn't hold back for a while, and looked at it a few more times.

"Who are you?" Pei Zhang asked in a deep voice: "We have no grievances with you, why did you kidnap our Pei family?" ”

The native girl raised her head defiantly: "My name is Bai Feng, and I am the leader here. I don't know what Pei Jiaerlang, a few of them broke into our mountains and forests to hunt. According to the rules of our tribe, you must pay enough ransom to take them away. ”

……

This native girl named Bai Feng, who learned the official dialect of Da Chu from somewhere, speaks very fluently. It's just that the accent sounds a little strange.

The exuberant anger in Pei Zhang's heart receded slightly.

It seems that today was indeed an accident. This person named Bai Feng was not instructed to deal with the Pei family on purpose. That being the case, it doesn't hurt to pay some ransom.

The Pei family first came to Lingnan and knew nothing about the situation in this place, so it was not appropriate to make enemies for the time being.

Pei Zhang's tone softened a little: "Leader Bai, I've offended a lot." Second brother, they didn't mean to offend your tribe, they didn't notice it for a while, and they mistakenly invaded your territory. ”

"According to the rules of your tribe, I don't know how much ransom I have to pay to take them away?"

Bai Feng had already thought about it before, but now when he saw the other party's "fat sheep" posture, he simply doubled it and slaughtered them fiercely: "I have to pay everyone a thousand catties of rice!" There are seven people here, a total of 7,000 catties of rice! ”

The natives raised their wooden knives together and shouted, which was about "seven thousand catties" in the Turkish language.

Looking at Bai Feng's smug expression of slaughtering a fat sheep, Pei Zhang was silent.

One tael of silver can buy ten catties of rice, and one thousand catties of rice, a total of one or two hundred silver. Seven Pei family sons turned out to be only worth seven hundred taels in the eyes of these natives......

No, Bai Feng should have temporarily changed his words and added a few more. Before, it should not have even been seven hundred taels.

If I knew this, where would I need to dispatch so many people. Just bring a few people to carry two boxes of silver.

Pei Zhang was silent, Bai Feng thought that he thought that the ransom was too much, so he immediately tightened his face and said sharply: "It's seven thousand catties of rice, no less at all!" ”

A low laugh sounded behind Pei Zhang.

The tense atmosphere that was about to erupt immediately became relaxed and relaxed. It's even a little funny.

Are these people brains broken? Or were you stupid by the number of 7,000 catties of rice? What to laugh at?

Bai Feng, a native girl, was also a little angry: "What are you laughing at? I'll only give you one day, and tomorrow you won't see 7,000 catties of rice before sunset, so you can wait to collect the corpse!" ”

As he spoke, the scimitar under his hand used a little force, and a shallow blood mark was pressed out on Pei Jue's neck!

"Stop!" Pei Zhang's eyes lit up, and he said coldly: "I'll give you 1,000 taels of silver, which can buy 10,000 catties of rice." You sent men with me to fetch the money, and immediately released them. ”

Pei Zhang gave an extra three hundred taels in one mouth, but he didn't think about it, Bai Feng didn't appreciate it at all, and snorted coldly: "Didn't you understand my words?" We don't want silver, we just want rice! Tomorrow before sunset, I will see seven thousand pounds of rice. Otherwise, it's seven corpses! ”

Everyone: "......"

What should I do in this situation?

Everyone looked at Pei Zhang.

The fire was blazing, and Pei Zhang's face was also red by the firelight.

Pei Zhang responded succinctly: "A word is a certainty!" ”

……

Pei Zhang waved his hand and motioned for everyone to return to the camp together. Before leaving, Pei Zhang coldly threw down a sentence: "The seven of them are slightly injured, and I will never spare you." ”

Then he turned and led the people away.

Bai Feng looked at Pei Zhang's back and snorted lightly.

Pei Jue didn't mention how much he regretted it. I knew that there would be such a trouble, he really shouldn't have gone into the mountains and forests.

Then again, these mountains and forests all look the same, and there is no difference at all. How did that col become the territory of these natives?

It must be that these natives saw that they were few and deliberately used this as an excuse to extort money.

"Are they really willing to give 7,000 catties of rice?" The natives asked Bai Feng in the native language.

They live in the mountains, hunt and raise some livestock for a living, and do not farm. If you want to eat rice, you have to use your prey to exchange it for it in the grain store in Jiuzhen County. For them, 7,000 catties of rice is really a big number.

There are more than 200 households in their village, and each household can get about 30 catties of rice. On weekdays, they hunt hard for half a month, but they can't get so much rice!

Bai Feng smiled slyly: "With these seven people in their hands, they can't give it if they don't give it." ”

After speaking, he regretted a little: "I think he agreed very generously." If this was the case, the ransom should have been raised higher. Such a fat sheep is rare to see on weekdays! ”
