Chapter 16: The Mysterious Woman

From their costumes, it can be clearly seen that they are the Miao people in the southwest Yi, and they must have come here to wait for the princess of the southern country, but it is unknown which country.

Tongnan can be said to be a major pass between the southwestern countries and Daqin, a buffer zone, and an important barrier for other southwestern countries.

Although the area of Tongnanguo is not large, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is known as a natural danger, so that it is difficult for the powerful countries in the southwest to annex it.

However, Tongnan is not a country that likes war, if it weren't for the fact that the kings of Dian and Yelang, the largest countries in the southwest region, harassed the surrounding small countries, making it difficult for them to survive, Tongnan would not have found Great Qin and formed an alliance with Great Qin by marriage.

If Tongnan and Daqin are really allowed to form an alliance, then other small countries in the southwest will be exposed to Daqin, so they will definitely spare no effort to oppose Tongnan's marriage with Daqin.

Therefore, the welcoming team of the princess of Tongnan has been in danger all the way, and now it is about to reach the capital of Daqin, what can prevent Tongnan from climbing to Daqin and consolidate his own defense line? This answer is undoubtedly to kill Princess Tongnan within the territory of Great Qin.

I heard that this princess of Tongnan, who came to be friendly, is the favorite daughter of the king of Tongnan, and she also has a high prestige in Tongnan, if she dies in the territory of Daqin like this, even if it is not done by the people of Daqin, this alliance between Tongnan and Daqin will be ruined.

At the same time, it will also arouse Tongnan's hostility towards Great Qin, so Daqin's desire to unify to the south will not only have one more enemy, but also need some troops to conquer Tongnan, an important southwest barrier, which is undoubtedly unfavorable to Great Qin.

Thinking of this, Meng Tian guessed that since these people had arrived, he was afraid that the princess of the southern kingdom was not far from here, Meng Tian glanced at the empty road ahead, and immediately flew on his horse and led the horse team to gallop away again.

Xiao Ling originally wanted to avoid Meng Tian from a distance, but in the end, he couldn't control it and secretly followed behind the long army.

In such a situation that he spurned himself and couldn't extricate himself, he followed the army to Wuguan, but after arriving at Wuguan, the army was stationed.

Xiao Ling also had no reason to follow, although she was very reluctant, but it was impossible for her to face Meng Tian calmly. The long pain is better than the short pain, since there is no result in following it, Xiao Ling no longer let himself be stubborn and left resolutely.

A person is bored walking on the path, the more he walks, the more remote he feels, and he does not feel comfortable at the beginning, and slowly turns into fear.

Xiao Ling is also a timid person, and he can be bolder in crowded places, but he is a little scared when he arrives in such a wilderness.

I don't know where I've gone, I haven't seen anyone after walking for a long time, and it's not impossible to go back, how Xiao Ling hopes that a figure suddenly appears in front of her at this moment, so that she can smell a little bit of popularity.

Probably the heavens heard her prayer, and the weeds that were one person tall suddenly rustled, but this was not the popularity that Xiao Ling wanted, hearing this sound, Xiao Ling did not feel relieved, but was so frightened that he subconsciously squatted down holding his head.

She remembers that when there are killers in those costume dramas, there will be these rustling sounds to render! When he is scared like this, it is the time when his cranky thoughts come out, and it is no wonder that Xiao Ling will be afraid.

However, Xiao Ling also admires himself, at such a moment, he can still think that some of these things are not to increase his psychological burden, he really has a humorous cell!

After squatting for a while, but nothing happened, Xiao Ling raised his head slightly and secretly glanced around, making sure that there was nothing before slowly standing up.

"Ahh Xiao Ling had just stood up straight, and she didn't know where such a scream suddenly came out, but at this time, she suddenly didn't feel afraid.

She looked around, but found nothing, and just as she was about to define herself as an auditory hallucination, a voice of speech came into her ears clearly.

Xiao Ling looked at the direction where the voice came from, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, after doing psychological construction for himself for a long time, Xiao Ling finally took a step forward and walked in that direction.

With trembling hands, it was not easy to pick up the weeds in front of his sight, and the scene not far away frightened Xiao Ling couldn't help but shiver for a while, almost unable to stand.

A stout man was holding a swarthy scimitar on the white neck of a woman kneeling on one knee, and a thin red mark seemed to be drawn on the delicate neck.

The woman had a beautiful face, fair skin like congealed fat, and was dressed in the costume of a minority group, although she was controlled by others, her big black eyes were fearless and staring at the person who was threatening her life.

Because the man was facing away from him, Xiao Ling couldn't see his true face clearly, but to be able to threaten a beautiful woman without mercy like this, his face should be very hideous.

His clothes are no different from those of women, and they are also the clothing of ethnic minorities. Judging by Xiao Ling, they should be Miao, because their costumes and dresses are very similar to those of the Miao people in some modern areas!

It's just that the huge horn-shaped earrings on the man's ears make Xiao Ling very disgusted, although the state advocates that ethnic discrimination should not be carried out, and the customs and habits of all ethnic groups should be respected.

But Xiao Ling can't accept some things from some ethnic minorities, but she just can't accept it herself, and she can't control what others think, and she won't care.

However, she was glad that the girl did not have any exaggerated earrings like the Miao girl in Xiao Ling's cognition, only a petite silver earring, a delicate silver collar around her neck, and a silver headdress on her head.

The whole dress didn't seem to be as heavy as the Miao girls in Xiao Ling's impression, they were very fresh and delicate, and Xiao Ling fell in love with that woman at a glance.

Although I know that I am weak, and I am still just a woman, it can be said that it is a fantasy to deal with that tall and strong man.

But in sympathy for female compatriots and antipathy for evil forces, coupled with the fact that he rarely has a girl who has a good impression at first sight, Xiao Ling still feels determined to help that girl after some psychological struggles!

Xiao Ling's big eyes trickled around, and finally found a feasible method, so he did what he said. It's just that she clumsily exposed herself before she implemented her own methods.

Xiao Ling turned around to look for tools, but he didn't notice his feet and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he grabbed the weeds on the side in time and didn't fall.

Xiao Ling stabilized herself and immediately looked over there, probably because the wind was too loud, the movement on her side did not alarm the man who was facing away from her, but most of her body was exposed, and the woman facing her naturally saw her.

Xiao Ling saw that the woman was looking at him with an inquiring face, and shouted in his heart, "Oh no", don't put yourself in without doing a good deed to save people from danger.

made a decision immediately, and immediately put the index finger of his right hand on his lips, signaling the woman to silence.

As soon as Xiao Ling's movements were finished, the man seemed to notice the woman's distraction, and turned around curiously, but he didn't find anything, and immediately moved his gaze to the woman in front of him.

On the other side, Xiao Ling found that the man showed signs of turning around, and he had quickly covered his body in the weeds, knowing that the man's heart was still beating wildly when he turned around.

After calming his heart, Xiao Ling slowly and cautiously stood up, and at this time he was already holding a half-sized stone in his hand.

The woman was also smart, and she withdrew her gaze and stopped looking at Xiao Ling. It's just that Xiao Ling knew that although the Miao woman was looking at the man in front of her, she didn't let go of watching her every move with her residual eyes.

So Xiao Ling made sign language to the Miao woman, she first pointed at her, then pointed at the stout man, and finally pointed to her at the stone in her hand, making a series of actions to aim and throw.

Xiao Ling didn't know if the woman understood her simple and complicated sign language, but when she heard that the woman started talking to the man after she finished her movements, although she spoke Miao language, Xiao Ling couldn't understand it.

But from this sign, Xiao Ling knew that the woman understood what she meant, and was using her words to attract the attention of men and find opportunities for herself!

After making sure that someone was cooperating with him, Xiao Ling generously stood on tiptoe and walked out of the grass gently, picked up the stone and aimed carefully, wanting to find the best target position that could be hit with one hit.

After some tossing, she finally found it, and without hesitation, she threw the stone in her hand, and the stone smashed straight into the man's hand with the knife.

By the time the man discovered Xiao Ling's existence, the stone was already flying towards the back of his hand, and he had no chance to dodge.

Seeing that he really hit like this, Xiao Ling excitedly clenched his hands into fists, retracted them, and didn't forget to shout "yes", which was even more exciting than kicking the opponent he hated the most and was very strong in a taekwondo match.

At the moment when the man's knife was taken off, the woman who was originally controlled by others immediately turned over and got up, and kicked away the scimitar that had just been on her neck with one kick, and kicked the owner of the knife in the chest with the other kick.

This was supposed to be a tense moment, but Xiao Ling on the side took it as a play, and when he saw the difficult movements made by the woman, he kicked the man back several steps and couldn't help but clap his hands and cheer.

"Okay, you're so good!"

It's just that Xiao Ling's praise didn't respond, because the man took a few steps back and quickly stabilized his body, and after quickly adjusting it, he counterattacked the woman's attack.
