Chapter 038: Cannibal Flesh
"Wu Xifeng" Yan Yuqing called lightly.
The man in the back seemed to hear someone calling for her, and was about to turn back. The man who had brought them here stared at her through the black hood.
Her body froze immediately. The words of the man that had been spoken to them before they came were still in their ears.
"When you get there, don't speak, don't move, or you'll cut off all your tongues!"
The man was drinking wine and cutting the flesh, the strong smell of mushy meat mixed with the spirits, and she almost couldn't breathe.
She didn't even dare to look at the man.
For as the man was cutting the flesh, she saw a white garment......
Human flesh!
He's eating human flesh!
Wu Xifeng was nagging when she thought about it, she hadn't eaten for a day, and at this time she felt that the entire esophagus was burning.
Yan Yuqing looked at the somewhat familiar back, and pointed a little: "How much?" ”
"One hundred taels."
The man spoke nonsense.
"Isn't it fifty taels?" Yan Yuqing also replied in Hu.
"Men and women are different", the man opposite was impatient.
After paying a hundred taels of silver tickets, Yan Yuqing saw that the man dragged Wu Xifeng out of the crowd, the original delicate embroidered pleated skirt turned into an earth-colored coarse cloth skirt, and on his dirty face, there were a pair of frightened eyes.
Yan Yuqing tried her best to calm down the emotions of joy and sorrow, and prepared to leave with Wu Xifeng.
"Wait a minute," the man called to her.
Yan Yuqing was called a spirit by him.
He stood up, took out a black hat, and put it on Wu Xifeng's head.
That man's five big and three thick stature is not as thin as the local Yizhou, and slightly shorter than the Hu people in Beiliang, where is he from? Yan Yuqing thought to herself.
Then Yin Feng brought two jars of salt, and a few people with hats came with him, and the man took them away and went to the outskirts of the city to lead the horses.
The Hu people who sold horses put black cloth around the eyes of Yin Feng and the others, and the crowded carriage galloped all the way out of the city.
The carriage drove slowly on the hill, and a whistle sounded, and the neighing of a group of horses raised their hooves could be heard in the deep valley, and after a while there were many tapping and tapping sounds, from far and near.
The carriage jerked and stopped.
Drive slowly.
Yin Feng heard the rhythmic sound of horses' hooves behind the carriage, and his heart was undulating.
This is no ordinary horse, it's a war horse!
His face has always been calm, and because of the darkness of the time, he can't see the changes clearly.
Bu Qu, who sat next to him, could hear his heartbeat suddenly becoming extremely fast.
The carriage ran unimpeded on the road for half an hour, and the horse seller lifted the black cloth on Yin Feng's eyes.
He said, "There will be a period later", jumped out, and disappeared into the vast night.
Yin Feng immediately opened the curtain and looked at the horse behind him, it was a high-grade black horse full of energy and shiny hair.
Led to the back of the car, trotting all the way.
Dozens of horses behind them all respected it, following its steps and stepping on the same rhythm.
can train horses so neatly, I am afraid that an army as strong as Longjun has not reached this level.
Yin Feng was afraid that the sound of horses' hooves in the middle of the night would disturb the officials and people of Yizhou, so he asked the rest of the tribes to set up camp on the outskirts of the city and rest for one night before making plans. He hurried back to King Yun's mansion to resume his life.
Outside King Yun's mansion, Yan Yuqing took off his hat, revealing his pink and delicate face. Wu Xifeng stood aside, and when she saw that it was Yan Yuqing, she cried suddenly.
Yan Yuqing hurriedly covered her mouth, blinked her eyes, and tried her best to pout at Satin Yunxuan next door, signaling her not to be heard by the people next door.
Wu Xifeng hurriedly lowered his voice and followed Yan Yuqing towards the mansion quickly.
Yin Feng was already standing in the garden, waiting for a long time.
After listening to his report, Yan Yuqing explained a few words to him before letting him go back to the house to rest. After settling Wu Xifeng, he lay on the bed in a daze.
Yan Yuqing connected today's disappearance of Wu Xifeng, the salt shaker of Satin Yunxuan, the trading location of the mysterious back mountain, the war horse, a large amount of salt, and the Hu people.
I vaguely felt as if something was about to be revealed, and I couldn't think of a reason for it for a while.
Between tossing and turning, it was already early for the rooster to crow.
Yan Yuqing took advantage of the sunlight and fell asleep in a daze. When she woke up, Wu Xifeng and Ziheng were already sitting in the flower hall, waiting for her to have lunch.
Yan Yuqing heard Ziheng say that as soon as the sky was polished, Yin Feng went out. So he asked Qingzhu to prepare a cold drink and wait for them to come back to drink.
The afternoon in Yizhou is not as noisy as the capital, surrounded by tranquility and leisure.
Yan Yuqing leaned on the rocking chair under the tree, and together with Ziheng and Wu Xifeng, he ate chilled watermelon, which was sweet and refreshing.
Suddenly, a strong sound of iron hooves, like rushing river water and rolling thunder, poured into Yizhou City and reached Yan Yuqing's ears.
The voice stopped abruptly as it approached King Yun's mansion.
The man at the head, dressed in a black robe, with slender limbs and a heroic posture, held an obsidian steel knife with purple cat's eyes. With an order, all the iron horsemen surrounded King Yun's Mansion and Sain Yunxuan like iron buckets.
Some curious people opened the doors and windows, and saw that the horses were all dark and magnificent, and they were both shocked and frightened, and they all quietly closed, pretending not to know.
When some officials heard about this, they hurriedly sent people to inquire.
Jin Fengxiang, Xie Ruilin and other jewelry shops also moved.
The lively scene originally caused by the galloping of thousands of horses became treacherous and silent for a while.
"What's wrong?" Wu Xifeng ran to the door curiously to look, and saw rows of troops dressed in white robes, riding horses, with cold eyebrows and cold eyes, and his heart was cold. On closer inspection, it feels quite familiar.
When she saw the horse coming slowly, with all the mood and even self-satisfaction, she couldn't help but take a sip and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing?" ”
Yin Feng didn't care about her, turned over and dismounted to salute, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles that he couldn't hide.
He said "Miss Wu", then flashed to Yan Yuqing's side and whispered a few words.
Yan Yuqing glanced at Wu Xifeng, who was still looking forward to the door, and bowed his head slightly.
"Let's go, go to Satin Yunxuan" She patted Wu Xifeng's shoulder and walked out.
Inside the Satin Cloud Xuan, there were several noble ladies looking at a piece of jujube cloth.
Jiang Nushi whispered beside Yan Yuqing: "The one in the middle wearing a light purple pleated skirt is Lu Yi, the wife of Yizhou Thorn Shizhang. The one wearing a blue gauze skirt next to her was her sister-in-law, Lu Yan, the wife of the prince Shen Lingyu. ”
Yan Yuqing looked at the demure and elegant woman with her hair in a high bun from afar, and muttered, "Shen Baifei's mother? The eyebrows and eyes are indeed somewhat similar. ”
Le Xianyu lifted the curtain and came out: "Why is the girl here again today?" Hasn't my sister been found yet? As he spoke, he covered the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.
Yan Yuqing didn't say anything else, and gave Yin Feng a look.
Yin Fengyu waved his arm and shouted, "Search!"
At the sound of an order, the outer tribes rushed in, avoided the women who were picking fabrics, and went straight to the inner courtyard with great momentum.
"You ...... You ......" Le Xianyu suddenly saw so many pieces breaking in, and he was a little at a loss for a while, and when he saw them walking towards the inner hall on a rampage, his face was flushed with anger.
She rolled her beautiful eyes and looked at Yan Yuqing: "What do you mean!" Trouble again, huh? ”
Yan Yuqing smiled and didn't argue with her, and sat down calmly and leisurely, and began to taste the tea carefully.
After almost a cup of tea, Yin Feng threw a man with brown skin and deep eyes from the inner hall: "Miss Wu, come out and see if it's him?" ”
Wu Xifeng poked his head out from behind a row of parts, and when his eyes fell on the man who was still rolling on the ground, his face turned pale instantly.
Seeing Wu Xifeng's expression, Yin Feng still didn't understand anything. He immediately shouted: "Take it away".
Two burly men walked up to him, lifted them up, dragged them away.
"Sister, save me!" Seeing that the situation was not right, the man hurriedly shouted at Le Xianyu.
Sister? Yan Yuqing frowned and looked at Le Xianyu.
Le Xianyu's pretty face was full of panic that could not be contained, obviously he didn't expect that his younger brother Le Ziyi would be caught by Yin Feng.
She looked at Yan Yuqing's smiling face, and only felt that she couldn't go up or down in one breath, so she asked in a deep voice with a cold face, "What do you want?" ”
"Abduction and trafficking of good girls, smuggling of fine salt, what do you think I want?" The words were not distempered or hot, and it seemed to be unremarkable, but it was so frightened that Le Xianyu hurriedly walked in front of Yan Yuqing.
"You say I'm a smuggler of fine salt?" Her expression was frightened, and her voice was sharp and piercing, which made Lu Yi, the lady of the assassin who had been standing not far away, look slightly different.
The imperial court investigated the illegal salt trade tightly, and if it was sold privately, it would be a felony to kill the head.
When Le Xianyu heard that Yan Yuqing had buttoned her such a big hat, her face turned pale with fright.
"And my sister's life", Yan Yuqing kicked Le Ziyi, who was still lying on the ground, and said softly: "Or use him to pay for it." ”
"No way!" Le Xianyu's eyes widened angrily, and he commanded: "What does it have to do with him, and besides, isn't your sister fine?" ”
Seeing that his arms and legs were sound, standing beside Yan Yuqing and there was nothing to do, he seemed to be Wu Xifeng, and the anger in Le Xiyu's heart did not come to a place. Why is she fine, but she and her brother have to suffer such a sin.
The room full of Yan's songs made her suppress the words she wanted to roar out.
"Bring it up" Yan Yuqing glanced at the Lexi fish, took a sip of the Luoying tea that Qingzhu had just cooked from his home, and said with a smile: "The weather is hot, everything is boring, or drink the hot Luoying tea, refreshed." ”
"Ahh Le Ziyi bounced up from the ground as if he had seen a ghost, looked at the middle-aged man he brought up, opened his mouth, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Le Xiyu took two steps back, pointed at Yan Yuqing and asked in horror, "Who are you!?" ”
Yan Yuqing smiled brightly, pointed at Le Ziyi and asked the person who came to him: "Do you recognize him?" ”
The man was wearing a black beard that he had not had time to change into yesterday, and he looked up, and there was no wave in his eyes.
Seeing this, Yan Yuqing raised his eyebrows slightly, and seemed to be not very satisfied with his reaction, "I heard that Hu Hao, the third prince of Beiliang, is coming to Yizhou. ”
"What do you want to do?" The arrested man stared at Yan Yuqing with a wary look in his eyes.
Yan Yuqing snorted slightly, and asked again: "Do you recognize him?" ”
There was a gleam in the man's eyes.
