Chapter Seventy-Eight: Silence

Chapter Seventy-Eight

In Cao Xun's narration, the night when the two sides looked at each other was the story of Wang Meng and Shao Kuanli joining forces and arriving on the enemy.

When Wang Meng and Shao Kuan's heads were discovered, he immediately added, saying that Wang and Shao had a quarrel with the Jin people, but he couldn't understand the Jin language, maybe he was killed by the Jin people to vent his anger because of the uneven distribution of the spoils.

Hearing these words, the dozen or so Zhou soldiers who sent him back were furious, and several of them talked about everything they saw, not to mention the spoils, but I was afraid that from the time Wang Meng was tied to the stakes, he had already swallowed his breath.

Shao Kuan sang a generous and sad song before he died, but the soldiers couldn't memorize what he was reading.

Cao Xun couldn't hide it, and whimpered and said that he might have made a mistake, maybe it was only that Wei Songqing who was in the gold-after all, on the night when the earth shook and the mountains shook, when Cao Xun shouted that a few cronies were going to run, it was Wei Songqing who suddenly fell from the sky, put a dagger against his throat, and scolded several prefect cronies in the county government to go by himself, leaving Cao Xun behind.

Wei Shishi and Bai Yi heard a burst of enthusiasm-it turned out that the scabbard was left like this......

Cao Xun then shouted again, saying that he was later taken to the periphery of a camp tent by Jin Bing, and when he listened to the people inside, he knew that Wei Songqing was not a teenager, but a woman.

This woman had not only assassinated the emperor before, but also entered the kiln...... Just as he was about to talk about the identity of the Lin family's father and son, Cao Xun suddenly saw Lin Bai himself standing beside Chang Sheng, with a resentful expression on his face, so he hurriedly stopped and asked Chang Sheng to open a private room to listen to him.

Chang Shengqiang endured the grief of Wang Meng's execution, and was not in the mood to listen to who Cao Xun framed again, so he opened a single room that night and locked Cao Xun and more than a dozen Zhou soldiers together.

As the only survivor of the two ends, Cao Xun and a dozen soldiers need to be escorted to the capital together to be retried by the Criminal Department and the Military Department.

When he finished dealing with the things at hand, Chang Sheng came back to his senses and found that Bai Yi and Wei Shishi were gone.

……

Before he actually set foot on the boundary beyond the northern realm, Bai Ling never realized that the grassland also had mountains, but the mountains were far away.

But at the moment, there is an endless snowfield in front of me, and there is a white expanse everywhere.

Whenever the sun was strong, the gold people would wear some kind of helmet made of animal skulls and use it as goggles.

There was a crack in the middle of the skull that blocked most of the light from entering the eye, and through the gap, one could easily see outside.

It is impossible for the Zhou people to have this kind of thing as slaves, and after one after another people have temporary blindness, everyone also temporarily covers their eyes with strips of cloth when they walk, and opens their eyes from time to time to avoid their eyes being burned by the snow.

Most of the Jin soldiers couldn't speak the words of the Zhou people, and it was not convenient to dock, so the four hundred or so people who came to take over them were the Zhou people who had completely surrendered to the Jin State.

In other words, it is the former Zhou people.

At the beginning, when Bai Ling and his entourage saw the familiar faces of the Zhou people and heard the local voice in the sound of the command, everyone had a little comfort and the joy of meeting the old people in another country, but soon everyone recognized the reality, these Zhou people holding whips were more strict than the Jin people, and they were more vicious, and the Jin people asked for three points, and they would raise the requirements to seven points, or even ten points.

Then they waged their tails and begged for mercy, and took every task as an opportunity to show their loyalty to the thieves.

The daytime work is dreary and arduous. Some had to pull carts, others had to collect dung, and the manure of cows, sheep and horses was the fuel for the migration of the Jin, who had to consume a lot of dry dung every day to keep warm or cook food.

Over the course of a few days, everyone, both men and women, had deep blood marks on their shoulders.

In addition to the blood marks on the shoulders, what is even more uncomfortable is the frostbite on the feet, they have no leather boots, at first they can only rely on their cloth shoes to walk in the ice and snow, and then a few people's feet are frozen rotten, those in charge of the Zhou Cai seem to suddenly realize the importance of leather boots, from the Jin people to ask for some thin old boots.

Although it can't be compared with what Jin Ren wears himself, it's really a life-saving shoe.

However, even so, daytime work is not the most frightening, and the most horrific things always happen after nightfall.

The women's tents were often haunted by golden soldiers, some with the smell of alcohol, some without, and they spoke words that the Zhou people did not understand, but some things were easy to understand even if they did not understand the language.

The women were dragged out and returned alone after a cup or two of tea.

At first there was crying, but then it was gone.

Women don't dare to go out after dark, but what's the use?

It was in such a world that Boling once again shed all pretense - and lived under the name "Boling" again.

Her identity and past had already been presented to Aquili on the night she talked to Lan Zhijun, and there was no possibility of concealing it.

However, Aquili is not very interested in Bai Ling, he has seen too many women in the Zhou people, and he doesn't need this one more, not to mention that Chen Shubai seems to have a strong interest in this person, and he is happy to send this person to the camp of the army division.

So every once in a while, Bai Ling would be called to Lan Zhijun's camp, but Lan Zhijun only did one thing, which was to play chess with her.

When Bai Ling returned from her first game of chess, she gave the dim sum she had won from Lan Zhijun to the other companions in the camp.

However, no one would touch what she had brought back, and the women took Bai Ling's hand with tears in their eyes, and comforted her with tears.

In the sighs and tears of everyone, Bai Ling, who was originally confused, suddenly understood that they probably thought that the tragic fate that happened to them had also befallen them.

In fact, there were indeed a few times when she was on the way to Lan Zhijun's camp, a Jin soldier suddenly pounced, but each time she was stopped in time. Although Bai Ling did not understand the Jin language, he could hear them frequently mention "Chen" in an inauthentic Zhou dialect.

Bai Ling could not utter a word of justification, and a strong sense of guilt grabbed her throat and made her unable to make a sound.

While others were suffering, she didn't.

She had no way to answer, only to feel that she had failed everyone's tears, but this torture had also made her emaciated, showing a certain pallor of depression.

She couldn't talk to anyone about this kind of bad mood, and her silence and depression were the same as other women who were raped, and she was sympathized and cared for by everyone.
