Chapter 277: The True Usefulness of the Handmaiden
Late at night, the Khitans set up a fire, Khan and Wanyan Zhen sat in front of the fire, and said angrily: "This Prince Rong is really unreliable!
"That dog emperor is too cunning, I guess he has already seen our purpose and deliberately lured the snake out of the hole. ”
"It's me who thinks highly of Prince Rong!"
Wanyan Zhendao: "What is Father Khan afraid of, our soldiers are brave and good at fighting, even if they really fight, they may not be able to beat them!"
"Aren't I afraid of what happens! Don't look at the emperor's young age and deep thoughts, let's be careful. If that Prince Rong is in power, it would be better to say, that emperor, I always feel that his mind is unfathomable. That's it, just take one step at a time, by the way, how is your second brother?"
"Hmph. Wan Yan Zhen snorted coldly: "It's still like that ghost, and I refuse to admit that I am our Khitan, grinding and chirping, just like a girl!!
......
Yunqing followed Aman to a tent, where more than a dozen Khitan maids lived, and when they saw Aman, they all greeted him cordially.
"Sister Aman, who is this?"
"It's a slave who was captured from the capital, called Yunqing. ”
"What, it's Han Chinese......
These Khitan maidservants obviously don't welcome Yunqing very much, and Yunqing doesn't need these people to welcome her much, she didn't come here to join the Khitan. Now that he has been arrested, he must find a way to help Rong Cheng.
Yun Qing stayed silently, these Khitan maids didn't look at her very well, and they left her to do any rough work.
It is inevitable that the Han people will be bullied here, but fortunately, this group of maids is not too excessive, Yunqing is just doing more work every day. It's nothing, she definitely can't cause trouble now, once she is really recognized by the Khan or the dinner party, everything is over!
Who knew that this night, Yun Qing had a busy day, and when he was about to rest, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed into the barracks where the maidservants lived.
Before Yun Qing could react, what was going on, those soldiers were like mad dogs, pulling these maidservants to pick them one by one.
Yun Qing didn't choose her because of her ugly appearance, and a few people who had no intention of pulling her pushed her away with some disgust when they saw her appearance. As for the rest, almost all of them were pulled away. To Yun Qing's surprise, none of these maids resisted.
In the end, in the entire barracks, only Yun Qinghe was left with a servant girl named Ah Yan who looked at her unpleasantly and bullied her the most.
Ah Yan is old, she looks in her thirties, and fine lines appear at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, it stands to reason that she should be more mature and sensible at such an age, this Ah Yan is indeed surprisingly tricky and mean.
Yun Qing said: "Sister Yan, what are they doing?"
"What are you doing? Are you stupid!! Those soldiers are out of the army, and if they can't be relieved, they will naturally arrest the servants! Otherwise, what do you think they are doing with us servants?" Ah Yan said bluntly, not feeling panicked at all.
Yun Qing was silent, in fact, she had long been suspicious about the fact that the Khitan people were fighting and bringing handmaids, it was really troublesome to bring women to war, but after all, she didn't know much about things on the battlefield, and the Han people never brought women to war.
Yun Qing originally thought that this was the rule of the Khitan people, but now Yun Qing secretly rejoiced in her heart that she was lucky that she made herself ugly. Escaped such a catastrophe. If he was really caught by that group of rude soldiers to do something, Yun Qing would probably be disgusted to death.
Seeing that Ah Yan seemed to have a look of disappointment on her face, Yun Qingxin said that these maidservants, should they still be looking forward to this?
It is indeed as she thought, these maidservants have actually accepted their fate a long time ago, and even many of them are looking forward to being accepted by a certain soldier in their hearts. If not, their already unclean bodies will not be able to marry in the future.
Although the Khitan people do not value women's chastity as much as the Han people, no one will want to marry this kind of woman who is a military prostitute and a husband.
A Yanren is Lao Zhuhuang, and his best age has already passed in the barracks, I am afraid that he will be like this in this life and will not be able to get married. Yun Qing probably knew why she had become so snarky.
Ah Yan said angrily: "Sleep, you look so ugly, you can't envy it!!"
Yunqing: "......"
She really didn't know what to envy about this kind of thing. But after she lay down, she really couldn't sleep.
During these days, as the Khitan army stopped and went, Yun Qing clearly realized that the morale of the soldiers of the Khitan and other small border countries was excellent, and the food and grass were sufficient, and it seemed that they were completely holding the mentality of victory.
Although he has a good heart for Rong Cheng, what if there is a ......
The crowd hurried for a while, and when they were about 100 kilometers away from Beijing, they were stopped by the local defenders and started the first war.
Yun Qing stayed in the barracks with the maidservants, and a few maidservants chatted around when they had nothing to do.
"Xiao Qi, I heard that you were taken to the military tent by the eldest prince?
The girl who was called Xiao Qi was the most beautiful of these maidservants, and at this moment, her cheeks were flushed by these people's discussions, and she said shyly: "The eldest prince said that when we win the battle, I will make him a concubine." ”
When everyone heard this, they all showed envious looks: "I envy you so much, I finally got through." ”
"Look, you're just talking about a concubine. Xiao Qi said this, but there was still a faint flash of smugness in his eyes.
Yun Qing sighed helplessly, this eldest prince is just temporarily grabbing a servant girl to relieve him, when a man is confused, how can he take what he says seriously? That dinner party really won't accept this servant girl as a concubine at all, it's just a joy in vain!
Her sigh was seen by Ah Yan, who was jealous of Xiao Qi, and Ah Yan suddenly said: "That's right, it's just a concubine!"
"Hey, how do you talk?" someone was dissatisfied, frowned, and said, "Ah Yan, you are obviously envious?!!
Ah Yan said angrily: "What is there to envy me, anyway, I'm like this, I've already accepted my fate! ”
Yun Qing didn't expect this to be on herself, she glanced at Ah Yan, and said in her heart that she was disdainful, but she was a little speechless, but she didn't know how bitter this Ah Yan was in her heart, so she liked to deliberately make people unhappy. As if in this way, she could feel more comfortable.
Sure enough, when Xiao Qi heard this, he glanced at Yun Qing disdainfully and said, "It's just a Han female slave, tsk, what kind of high school is you pretending to be here?"
Yun Qingdao: "I don't mean to be disdainful, Little Seventh Sister is lucky, it is envied by others, who is bitter, who knows for themselves, even if there is really disdain, they are also envious and jealous of you, not as good as you, why care what others think?"
When Xiao Qi heard this, he also felt that it was reasonable, so he stopped looking for trouble with Yun Qing, but Ah Yan on the side and a few of them were jealous of Xiao Qi, and the maids who were waiting to see the excitement were not a taste in their hearts, Yun Qing's words were clearly talking about them, Xiao Qi was taken by the eldest prince, they were nothing on the surface, but in fact, their eyes were almost red with jealousy, because they were like this in their lives. Some even wish that Xiao Qi would be abandoned by the eldest prince, and the worse the fall, the better!
Yun Qing's words inadvertently poked the backbone of these servants.
Yun Qing didn't want to offend people, but if he didn't say so, if he offended that Xiao Qi, if Xiao Qi really flew up the branch and became a phoenix, his situation would only be worse. Everything is afraid of what if, even if the little seventy is not the climate, but for a while, it is still a real favorite.
And these maidservants, at most, are just playing some small tricks, and Yun Qing can still deal with it.
That night, Yunqing's bedding was thrown out of the barracks by several maidservants.
Ah Yan said in an unkind tone: "A bastard from the Han deserves to live with us?!Get out!!"
Yun Qing didn't answer, it's August now, it's not too cold, and it's nothing to sleep outside.
Yun Qing hugged the bed, found a vacant place without weeds and prepared to rest, and when he slept until midnight, he was woken up by the noise. The soldiers returned.
This first battle was a great victory, which greatly boosted morale.
Khan and Wanyan Zhen took two jars of wine, came to Yunqing and sat down not far away, and set up a fire.
Because of the weeds, the two didn't notice Yun Qing.
Yun Qing couldn't sleep at all, and even the sound of breathing was much lighter, and he eavesdropped on the corner of the wall silently.
After listening to the father and son sitting by the fire and bragging, Wan Yanzhen suddenly felt a little uneasy and said: "Father Khan, this war is for us to unite those small countries around us, if it really happens, how should we divide it then?"
"What to divide it? This time, the main force is our Khitan's, and it will be good to share their share of the pie when the time comes!"
"Having said that, I'm afraid that any of them will have different intentions, if we don't give much benefit at that time, what if we make trouble again? Where are these people fuel-efficient lamps? Especially that Liangyue Country, the strength is not small, and it is a little troublesome to deal with it!"
"Then you say, what should I do?"
"According to my son, let's think of countermeasures in advance, and when the matter is completed, we will ...... these people" Wan Yanzhen said, making a movement to wipe his neck. was seen by Yun Qing not far away.
Khan was skeptical: "It's a bit unkind to do this." ”
"Father Khan! The Han people have a good saying, a good bow is hidden, the birds are exhausted, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked. These people are just pawns for us to use, and when their use value is gone, what's the use of keeping them?"
