Tuoba Lan was sitting on a wooden bed covered with cotton wool. There were really no tables, chairs or other furniture.
It has been two days since Tuoba Lan and Chen Xingchang met, but obviously Chen Xingchang had no intention of sending Tuoba Lan and Ma Quanyou to meet.
Lu Ming and others were placed in a thatched house with a fence. There were always more than a dozen soldiers on duty outside day and night, saying it was for the queen's safety.
"Did Chen Xingchang put us under house arrest?" Tuoba Lan asked.
Lu Ming looked at Xiao Hei who was tied to a tree in the fenced courtyard from the window of the thatched house, which was actually a square hole, and said nothing.
Datong was going to feed Xiaohei hay. He didn't dare to go back to the tribe alone because he encountered saber-toothed tigers and other ferocious beasts. Lu Ming promised to go back and send him home.
"Wang...Dahua, what should we do?" Tuoba Lan asked worriedly.
Lu Ming pondered, "Wait a minute. Didn't Chen Xingchang say that he has notified the Great Khan? Can he ask the Great Khan to pick you up?"
Tuoba Lan's face became more worried, "But..."
Obviously, Chen Xingchang and Ma Quanyou had a disagreement. In fact, if you think about it, you will know that the resources here are limited, and Chen Xingchang and Ma Quanyou both brought three to four thousand people here. Who doesn't want to monopolize these limited resources? Let alone the coexistence of the two.
If so, the local tribes here may not be able to support so many people. This may be a matter of survival.
If the two sides really fight, I will naturally be happy to see the result.
But Tuoba Lan is obviously a smart woman, and she has vaguely thought about this section. Now she is worried that Ma Quanyou's arrival will be a Hongmen banquet.
Outside, it seemed to be vaguely lively.
Lu Ming came out, and Liu Deshui immediately ran into the courtyard, "Miss Wang, do you want to go out for a walk?" He volunteered and became one of the guards of this thatched house.
Lu Ming frowned at the noise not far away: "Why is it so lively?"
Liu Deshui apologized and said in a low voice: "Oh, I was just about to tell you this good news. Although Miyuan Khan was busy with military affairs and did not come in person, he also sent his chief of staff and people to pick up the Khan!" This news was actually inappropriate.
Tell Queen Khan and those around her.
Lu Ming nodded lightly, who was Ma Quanyou and how could he be easily involved in danger?
Suddenly, Da Tong, who was feeding Xiao Hei, dropped the hay and ran out of the courtyard, but was quickly stopped by the guards.
Da Tong was gesticulating a little anxiously.
Lu Ming walked over, and Da Tong hurriedly walked to his side, pointed at the group of people passing by outside the courtyard, and gestured to Lu Ming.
It was a group of White Sea rebels escorting several ragged natives. They were old, young, women, and children. They looked like they might be a big family. Anyone who walked slowly, even children, would be escorted by their soldiers.
Kicked hard, Lu Ming frowned.
Datong gestured anxiously, apparently he knew this family.
Maybe he's also the trade officer of this tribe?
At this time, a woman among the native people stumbled a little while walking, which immediately caused the soldiers to laugh, and a military man who looked like a boss came over to help her.
The native people here are more like the ancient Egyptians, with bronze skin, black hair and black eyes, wider faces, and higher nose bridges. The beauties among them are quite charming.
This woman is undoubtedly a beautiful young woman. Most tribal women have good figures, and she is no exception.
The military leader seemed to be helping her, but in reality he was holding her in his arms and lifting his hands.
After being pushed by the woman, the military leader became furious. He slapped the woman to the ground and kicked her hard.
The Tumin family was immediately in an uproar, but they were held back by the soldiers with guns. They could only watch helplessly as the military leader picked up the unconscious woman, and even laughed and said: "You guys will wait a minute!" before entering the hut in front.
.
At this time, Lu Ming had already walked to the courtyard gate, and several guards guarding the fence courtyard were approaching.
But the native family couldn't bear it anymore and rushed to rescue the woman. They fought with the soldiers escorting them and became a mess. Several guards rushed over to help the soldiers escorting them.
A soldier pointed his gun at a young man who was causing the most trouble among the local people and was about to shoot.
"Peng!" The gunshot rang out, but the soldier pointed the muzzle upward and pulled the trigger. Because blood was already pouring out of his throat, he staggered back and fell to the ground with his hands covering his throat.
Lu Ming was already standing next to the military leader, holding the dagger on his neck, and shouted: "Stop it!"
"Miss Wang, what are you doing?" Liu Deshui was stunned and ran over hurriedly.
"These people are my guide's friends. Without my guide, Queen Khan and I might have died on the road!" As Lu Ming spoke, he pulled the military leader slowly towards the yard and said: "Take these
The whole family let go."
Without the military leader, Liu Deshui had the highest rank. He felt that the situation should be eased. He was about to ask the soldiers to release them, but Battalion Commander Zhao, who didn't want Miss Wang's dagger to his throat, had already shouted: "Let them go, let them go."
them!"
The family was let go, and someone helped the woman up.
As Lu Ming retreated into the courtyard, he winked at Da Tong, who had already run to his side.
The two of them were used to gesticulating and communicating. It seemed that Datong immediately understood what Lu Ming meant. He went over to chat with the family and slowly retreated into the fenced courtyard with the family.
Lu Ming pouted at the thatched hut, and Da Tong was even more delighted. He gestured to the big family to enter the thatched hut, and the woman who was almost violated was also helped in.
"Miss Wang, please let me go first, if you have anything to say!" Liu Deshui's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Lu Ming pulled the military leader to the door of the thatched house and said coldly: "I want to see the chief of staff of the Sanyuan Department!"
Liu Deshui felt regretful. Normally, he shouldn't have told Miss Wang this news, but he was so obsessed with it that he always thought about how to please her, so he said it as soon as he was bald. If the president knew about this, he would definitely have to
Shoot yourself.
Fortunately, Miss Wang said to the military leader: "Whether he comes or not has nothing to do with me punishing you!"
Liu Deshui was moved to tears.
Miss Wang obviously meant that in order to survive, Battalion Commander Zhao once mentioned that the chief of staff had arrived. What about friendship between the two armies?
It was so chaotic that Battalion Commander Zhao really begged and said that no one else could hear what he was saying.
At this time, Battalion Commander Zhao did not dare to say anything more, maybe he did not understand what Miss Wang meant.
The future will also be a mess.
Liu Deshui felt that only he and Miss Wang knew about this matter. It was a little secret between him and her, and he seemed to have a closer relationship with Miss Wang.
There is still a lot of persuasion in his mouth.
At this time, a group of people hurriedly came from the east side, some wearing white navy uniforms and some wearing Mihara military uniforms.
Lu Ming was slightly startled, because among the officers in Miyuan military uniforms, the one walking at the front was a middle-aged man in his forties. He had seen his photo himself. He was an insider of the Military Intelligence Department, named Ma Shengyu. He was originally just a staff officer, but now
, promoted to chief of staff?
The white navy officer walking with Ma Shengyu had a fat head and big ears, and had the rank of major general.
Chen Xingchang definitely didn't want to let him go. Seeing that Ma Quanyou only sent his men, he probably made excuses not to meet him and claimed that no one else was here.
Someone hurriedly came to General Bai Hai to report.
Lu Ming said to Ma Shengyu: "The Queen is here, take us away!" Tuoba Lan walked out of the thatched hut and stood beside Lu Ming.
Ma Shengyu quickly saluted Tuoba Lan: "Queen Khan! I am here to pick you up!"
General Bai Hai had already said with a serious face: "I'm afraid it won't work, Chief of Staff Ma. The Khan's guards killed our brothers in the army! This matter needs to be decided by the president!" He was actually full of joy.
Those who know how to politely refuse Mihara's orders are ordered by the President to find excuses to refuse.
Ma Shengyu pondered for a moment, "Okay, I'm going to report back to the Great Khan, but you must ensure the safety of the Queen Khan and the people around her!"
Lu Ming frowned and said, "We can't leave?"
Ma Shengyu had a look of helplessness on his face, "Please..." He turned to Tuoba Lan and said, "After Khan, please keep an eye on her and stop causing trouble!"
Lu Ming snorted coldly: "I hate to see men bullying women! Since we can't leave!" The dagger in his hand moved slightly.
Battalion Commander Zhao's throat was immediately filled with blood, and he was pushed out by Lu Ming. He staggered forward a few steps, fell to the ground, struggled, and gradually lost his voice.
An imperceptible hint of joy flashed in Ma Shengyu's eyes.
Lu Ming nodded inwardly. This guy has not rebelled yet, but the telegram cannot be sent here. Now he sees that the possibility of a conflagration between the two groups is getting bigger and bigger, so he feels happy.
After all, his relatives are still waiting for him to reunite in Shengjing.
The fat white general of Bai Hai looked livid and waved, "Capture her!"
Tuoba Lan stepped in front of Lu Ming and said coldly: "I can't live without her. You have the final say in everything right and wrong?!"
Ma Shengyu also said coldly: "Deputy Commander Gao, what authority do you have to deal with Queen Khan's personal bodyguard? It's better to wait until the president comes back, otherwise, I'm afraid you will regret it!"
Fatty Bai's face was uncertain. He finally waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to retreat. He said coldly to Lu Ming: "If you dare to be so violent again, don't blame me for being rude!" He turned around and said bitterly: "Guard this place!"
Liu Deshui's anxious heart finally returned to his stomach, but when he looked at the female thug, there was fear in his eyes. It turned out that she was a murderer without blinking an eye. Thinking about the scenes where he loved to get close to her, his head was filled with tears.
I was sweating coldly, my legs were weak, and I almost fell to the ground. I was just on the verge of death, trying my best...
