Chapter 30: The Battle of the Snowfield (2)
Fortunately, although the prophet was blind and did not know the famous Chosen One, he at least sensed that he had no ill will.
"I'm here to pick you up!" Gu Shiyu licked his chapped lips.
"What?" the people in the tent couldn't believe their ears.
"Yes! The army of the undead has approached the Great Wall of Ice and Snow, and I have come to take you in. General Leo of the City of Stone Dam has agreed with me to divide a large area for you to stand in the narrow buffer zone between the Great Wall of Ice and Snow and the City of Stone Stone, centered on the Sheltered Valley. ”
"Why should we believe you? The Night's Watch has been our enemy for more than a thousand years, so why would they suddenly let us in today with kindness?"
"Could it be that you laid an ambush in advance, waited for us to enter the customs, and then caught them all and solved the problem once and for all?"
"You are wrong!" Gu Shiyu shook his head: "In the past, you and the Night's Watch may have been enemies, but now we have a common enemy, that is, the army of the undead! You may have suffered a lot of injustice, but now our goal is the same! We must unite so that we can defeat the common enemy and let the people inside and outside the pass live well!"
"I still doubt your sincerity!" the patriarch shook his head.
"Our Royal Highness the Prince has personally come to look for you outside the Guan, and he has already shown the greatest sincerity!" the scout captain shouted: "Doesn't he say everything about his coming here from the Iron Fist Castle?
"Shut up, you murderer!" someone in the tent shouted.
"He has some point!" the patriarch finally nodded. His hostility slowly faded, and he said to Gu Shiyu: "You promised to let us enter the customs, this must be conditional! Say, what are your conditions?"
"The conditions are very simple, that is, you can't enter the hinterland of Erathia through the Stone Dam City, you can only live between the Stone Dam City and the Great Wall of Ice and Snow!" Gu Shiyu looked at the people in the big tent and said: "All of you here are either night watchmen or disease carriers! As the regent of Erathia, I promise to give you legal citizenship, but I can't risk Erathia being infected with the plague again!" Everyone knows that not only you, but all the night watchmen stationed at the Great Wall of Ice, including me, have been cursed by Bellerion!
"I can't make a decision on what you said alone!" said the patriarch, "There are a total of more than forty tribes living outside the gate, and such an important matter must be discussed and voted on by everyone!
"Yes. I'll wait here!" Gu Shiyu nodded: "But I hope you don't have to wait too long, after all, there is not much time left for us!"
"It will be soon!" said the patriarch, "You are free to move around this valley, but you are not allowed to flee the valley!
"I won't leave unless I take all of you into the pass!" Gu Shiyu promised.
Gu Shiyu and the cavalry captain were finally able to walk in the valley as a free man. They stepped out of their tents and stood on a high ground, looking down over the valley.
There are thousands of tents pitched in the valley, and there is no end in sight.
This should be a relatively large tribe, with a population of at least tens of thousands!
Twilight has fallen over the valley. Smoke can be seen rising everywhere.
Is this still a forgotten corner of the world? Gu Shiyu was very skeptical.
"Your Excellency, do you night watchmen often go out to harass these people?"
"Yes, Your Excellency the Chosen One!" said the Scout Captain apologetically, "You must know that until the army of the undead arrives, it is the duty of the Night's Watch to prevent them from entering the pass. We must always go out to scout their movements, and if they try to sneak over the Great Wall or dig a hole into the pass, then we must stop them!"
Are these night watchmen wrong? Gu Shiyu couldn't make a fair assessment. He could only sigh and say, "It seems that we will have to live with them in the future!"
"We'll certainly do, but you don't have to!" said the scout captain, "You're the Prince Regent of Erathia, unlike us!"
"I don't think there is any difference between us!" Gu Shiyu shook his head: "I am also cursed, and I will become an undead spirit after death! If I enter the hinterland of Erathia, they will also treat me as a monster!"
"I'm sure you'll find a way!" Captain Scout smiled, "Who called you the Chosen One?" I'm sure you'll save us!"
Alas, my brother can't save himself, so how can he save you?
But Gu Shiyu didn't dare to say this kind of frustrating talk, and he couldn't even express the slightest expression. He happily patted the captain on the shoulder and nodded, "Of course!"
On the path leading to the high ground came two girls in voluminous dresses. The cold wind blew their dresses tightly against their delicate bodies, and it was difficult to hide their graceful figures. They bowed to the two of them and said, "Your Excellency the Chosen One, your camp and dinner are ready, please come with us!"
"Okay, okay!" Gu Shiyu nodded hurriedly. He suddenly felt the urge to lift the veil on these two girls and take a look...... Generally speaking, a girl with a good figure will definitely not look bad, not to mention that her voice is so good!
The Adam's apple of the scout captain on the side squirmed up and down, apparently swallowing.
Did he swallow when he heard that dinner was ready, or did he swallow when he saw the two girls?
"Why are you veiled? I'm sure you must be beautiful!" Gu Shiyu finally couldn't help asking.
The two girls laughed heartily. One of the big-eyed girls spoke, and her words were so fast that they were like freshly fried beans popping out: "We're veiled, and we just don't let you stinky men see it!"
Gu Shiyu was stunned! Beauty should be appreciated by others!
Another girl's voice was quiet: "You know, there are some carriers of diseases among our people...... We cover our nose and mouth to avoid the spread of disease......"
Gu Shiyu was relieved. Oops, what if you two girls with such good bodies have their faces festering and pitted?
"Your Excellency the Chosen One, are you really going to take us in?" the slightly quiet girl asked as she led the way.
"Of course!" Gu Shiyu nodded affirmatively.
"Won't you let the Night's Watch ambush and kill us?" asked the girl who spoke like a bean.
"Absolutely not!" said the Scout Captain at once.
"No one is talking to you!" the scout captain was immediately met with the two girls in the eyes.
Come on, I won't say it!The scout captain scratched his head in embarrassment.
Dinner wasn't a sumptuous meal, but it was just two rabbits and a few potatoes. It seems that this is the best food they can come up with.
Fortunately, there were two young girls beside him who were full of fragrance and kept shuttling, which made Gu Shiyu realize what it meant to be beautiful and delicious.
Their loose hems, and even their soft bodies, occasionally touch them inadvertently between the tables and chairs, which is always unsettling.
Girls wearing body-revealing tights or voluminous dresses can also make people think about it.
"Why don't you sit down and eat?" Gu Shiyu stopped his knife and fork.
"We are your handmaidens...... If you don't finish eating, we can't eat it!"
"Okay, I order you to sit down and eat together!" Gu Shiyu glared.
The girl did not sit down, still standing on either side of him. Gu Shiyu flicked the knife and fork boringly, and finally put it down.
As soon as Gu Shiyu put down the knife and fork, the reconnaissance captain immediately followed suit.
"Have you finished eating?" the girls asked.
"Yes......"
The girls immediately handed over the napkins. Gu Shiyu took it and wiped the corners of her mouth, while the two girls took the food left on the table aside and ate it sweetly.
Gu Shiyu was stunned! Could it be that this is food for the four of us? Why didn't you say it earlier? If we had known that this was the case, we would have eaten less and left more for you!
The scout captain also felt embarrassed.
The girls felt their gaze. One of them blushed and said, "The Prophet told us that wasting food is a shameful act!"
Okay, I won't be like this tomorrow, and I will definitely leave you half of the untouched food!" Gu Shiyu said secretly.
What is the name of an uncle? The treatment that Gu Shiyu is enjoying now is at the level of an uncle.
They swept away the scraps, and then kept busy, making beds and quilts, then bringing water to wash their faces and feet, and even rubbing their muscles and bones as they washed their feet.
Oh my God, it would be nice to have such a wife! Gu Shiyu immediately had a despicable thought in his heart. He was already married for the second time, but Catherine and Saiya had never given him such treatment. On the contrary, Gu Shiyu had to pour water for them to wash their feet and rub their muscles and bones.
Gu Shiyu was lying on the wooden bed, and the maids immediately covered him with a thick black bear fur as a quilt.
Of course, the Scout Captain could not have been treated like this. He sighed and curled up on another wooden bed.
"I will definitely take you and your people out safely!" Gu Shiyu began to swear.
"You must do what you say!" the girls grinned, their eyes narrowed into a line.
"Of course!"
The girls filled the fire in the tent with enough wood and lay down on a small bed and gown by the door.
How can this make people sleep? Gu Shiyu and the scout captain tossed and turned on the comfortable and warm wooden bed, as if they were baking a flatbread.
Gu Shiyu finally understood why the company's CEOs always like to ask beauties to take important positions in the public relations department. With them by their side, not to mention a single request, even a hundred requests will be granted! If they still persuade a few glasses of wine, well, a thousand requests will be granted!
"I said, how long will it take for that meeting convened by your patriarch to start?" Gu Shiyu couldn't help but ask.
"It should only be three or two days! It turns out that the gathering place between our various tribes is very far away, and because of the invasion of the undead army, they have almost gathered together. ”
"Oh!" Gu Shiyu was a little regretful. Doesn't that mean you're going to leave me in a few days?
There was another awkward silence in the tent. The two girls curled up on the wooden bed by the door, squeaking and snickering at each other.
"Hey, I said what's your name? I'll have to call you by your name in the future, can't you feed it, can you scream on the ground?"
"My name is Linda!"
"Well, Linda, good name! it means pretty girl, right?"
"Yes!" the big-eyed girl smiled.
"My name is Jima!" said the slightly quiet girl, not to be outdone.
"Well, Jima, it's also a good name! It means it's as precious as a gem, right? God, you've taken all the good names, and I'm going to give birth to a daughter who's as beautiful as you, what should I call it?" Gu Shiyu shouted.
Damn, I didn't expect you kid to be so good at talking to girls. The scout captain couldn't interject at all, so he had to sigh indignantly.
The girls sneered, "Come on, I don't think you're much older than us!"
"The Chosen One, can you tell us your story?" In the darkness, Gu Shiyu could feel the hot gaze of the girls.
"I have a lot of stories, which one do you want to hear?"
"Let's start by telling you the story of how you competed on the Holy Light Island and defeated all your opponents!"
It seems that everyone in the world knows his legendary experience! Gu Shiyu was very proud, and he told it eloquently, which inevitably added fuel and vinegar, which frightened the girls to scream again and again.
The long narrative was mixed with the snoring of the scout captain one after another.
