Chapter 602: Encounter in a Foreign Land
The scene that happened at the border checkpoint shocked the two Voss people for many days.
They were yelling at and humiliating someone just a few days ago, but he was actually able to command the border troops and trade!
So much so that during these days, they did not dare to complain that Chu Qing would not give them "human food". They even comforted themselves in their hearts: "They announced that there will be no food this year" and pretended not to smell the food they received from others.
The aroma of stewed meat rising from the small iron pot.
In the first few days, there was still no human habitation in the grassland, and the shock brought by Chu Qing hung over their heads like dark clouds.
But once we reach a place where we can contact the Master, the situation is different.
The herdsmen from Hesote first came to greet the caravan with surprise: "It's Bao Qingsheng's caravan again? Great! Why did you leave so suddenly last time?"
After that, another woman looked at Chu Qing and shouted: "Look who this is, Huayi, it's your grandma Chu Qing here!"
I saw several half-year-old children rushing up to watch Chu Qing for a while, and then cheered, "Aunt Chu Qing! Aunt Chu Qing! What good things have you brought us?"
A girl even looked behind Chu Qing: "Aunt Chu Qing, where is Xiaobao?"
In the eyes of the children, Chu Qing has not changed much, he just feels more powerful than before. But in the eyes of Chu Qing, the children have changed so much!
The girl in front of her was no shorter than Xiaobao. She was really a big girl. Chu Qing smiled and replied: "Huayi, you have become more beautiful! It's a pity that Xiaobao didn't come, otherwise he wouldn't recognize you."
Look at the half-grown teenagers and identify them one by one. They are all in the stage of changing their voices. The little drake voices are really interesting to hear.
Chu Qing: "Ram, you are taller than me! I almost don't recognize you!"
After more than five years, Chu Qing could still call them by name, making the children feel excited and cordial.
Hua Yi remembered that Chu Qing had been scratched by a wolf, and asked with concern: "Aunt Chu Qing, has the place where you were scratched by the wolf healed? How many wolves have you killed since then?"
Chu Qing rolled up a sleeve and showed her the faded scars to reassure her.
Lamu and several boys shouted: "Ama Chuqing, we can also kill wolves, we have killed them before!"
Chu Qing showed admiration and praised them for becoming "warriors" so early.
Naisrula and Sanboer looked at Chu Qing with more complicated eyes: This "manly woman" treated the civilian children on the grassland with the warmest eyes and the gentlest smile, but she had actually killed a wolf!
Isn’t it too fantasy?
In this confused mood, they then saw the herdsmen gathered around, vying to talk to Chu Qing, and the women stepped forward one after another to ask if there was anything they wanted.
Chu Qing changed his face and said to them with a sad expression: "This year we announced that the disaster was serious, and I couldn't get food, so I brought three carts, but I can't sell it to you. No, I
Nothing can be sold to you..."
The herdsmen naturally wanted to ask why, but this "manly woman" continued to say sadly and angrily: "Your fourth prince has detained my caravan. If I don't send him food, he will not let my people go back, and even
Kill them!"
Immediately, the herdsmen suddenly realized:
"No wonder your caravan left just after it arrived. It turned out that it was taken away by the fourth prince?"
"Shh! Be careful! How dare you say that...I didn't see clearly that the two people around me are..."
"What are you afraid of! We are here in Hesuote! We are protected by King Zuoxian!"
"Then...Chu Qing, you only have three carts of food, can you exchange it for the boys?"
Chu Qing lowered her head sadly as she listened to the herdsmen's discussion.
Nasrullah and Sanboer were extremely shocked: How did she know that it was the fourth prince who had detained the caravan? We didn’t say anything?
Nasrullah shouted: "No, you lied! Didn't the fourth prince detain your caravan?"
Chu Qing: "Who is it if it's not the Fourth Prince?"
Nasrullah: "...yes...no...there is no such thing as detention!"
Chu Qing: "Then why are you following me?"
Nasrullah: "We did not follow..."
Herdsmen: "So they are two of the Fourth Prince's people?"
Nasrullah, Spreader: "We are not... we are not... you are talking nonsense!"
Qiao Keli limped forward: "Why not? Why not? You are just talking nonsense!
Look, everyone, my legs were broken by them! They were the ones who escorted me to find my master!
Think about it, everyone, when we just entered Hesote, did we just stay here for one night and then leave? Did someone take us away? Did any of you see it? "
One of the herdsmen said: "It seems so. I saw a group of people coming for them that day, and then they followed that group of people. I thought they were people from Virat."
"I did see the caravan. I was herding sheep at that time. It was far away, and I was wondering why they left. Didn't they stay in our village for seven or eight days every time they came?"
Qiao Keli immediately answered: "No! It was the Fourth Prince's people who took us away that day. They said they would kill us immediately if we didn't go with them!"
Nesrulah was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick, and he roared: "You lied! The fourth prince just sent us to escort you back to find someone, we never beat you at all!
If your leg is really broken, how can you get on the road? What a waste of time! Your leg is not broken at all, you are just pretending! You are lying!"
Herdsmen: "The fourth prince really did it!"
Nasrullah, Spreader: "..."
As if to ease the embarrassment of the two people, Chu Qing said in a timely manner: "Don't talk about this, it's not good for all of us;
You know, the fourth prince is with you and Sauter right now. He has sent troops to seal all the checkpoints to prevent you from buying or selling things with us!
I think your King Zuo Xian must also know about such a big battle, otherwise he wouldn't be able to let the fourth prince use troops in your tribe, right?
So, please stop talking about it, maybe the Fourth Prince detaining my caravan is what King Zuo Xian meant."
Nasrullah almost wanted to jump: Why did King Zuo Xian mean it? King Zuo Xian couldn't be the master of their four princes, okay?
Spreader was also anxious, but he was anxious about something else: the fourth prince did not send troops, they were just guards! Also, the fourth prince was really on the border with Sauter now.
There's nothing we can do about it. Chu Qing's caravan always enters through the north of Voss, but it has to enter Hesote first!
But the fourth prince is now southeast of Sauter, which is close to Virat. If he can grab a horse now and run to report the news...
"Do you want to go and send a message to the fourth prince, saying that we have arrived, and begging him not to make things difficult for my brothers in the caravan?" Chu Qing asked with a "begging" tone.
