Chapter 110 Scene Fourteen ? Caged Bird Pond Fish? Three
Chapter 110 Scene 14 Caged Bird Pond Fish 3
The Yimube survivors who survived the canyon were all taken back to the camp by Tiezhongshan and put into a huge iron cage placed in the open air. The cage was supposed to be used to imprison beasts and was full of feces and urine.
the smell.
Tuya's fever became even worse after she fainted, and her whole body was as hot as a piece of red-hot coal. However, everyone in the Yimu tribe stayed far away from her, as if they were avoiding the god of plague. Inside the cage, there was only one black person.
The young southern boy with bright eyes tore off a relatively clean piece of cloth from his inner clothes, dipped it in melted snow water and applied it to Shuodi girl's lips and forehead.
In the previous chase in the mountains, an overturned cart pinned Yan firmly underneath. He witnessed the massacre happening around him with his own eyes, but was helpless. At this moment, Xiao Tianmo was killed along with all the bows and arrows.
After Zhongshan was confiscated, no matter how unwilling the young man was, he had to accept the fact that he had become a prisoner.
He stretched out his hand again and picked up a handful of snow from the ground outside the cage. After it melted with the warmth of his palm, he dipped a piece of cloth into his mouth and fed a little bit into Tuya's mouth. The girl's lips, which had lost their color for a long time, moved, and finally there was
She reacted slightly, and her eyelashes trembled slightly. In her blurry vision, she vaguely recognized her companion's face:
"Jiang Yan...it's great that you're okay..."
"Don't talk yet and drink more water."
As the black-eyed boy spoke, he reached out to grab the snow outside the cage again. He had no intention of paying attention to the several Yimu tribe members gathered around on the other side of the cage, whispering in obscure Shuodi language.
Whispering something.
"...This girl's life is really big. She's already like this and still has one breath left."
"That's right. We kindly rescued her from the sea, but we didn't expect that she would be the princess of the Muyun tribe. If we had known this, we should have taken her as a hostage!"
"Yes, there is also that southern boy who is with her. Look at his eyes that look vicious to everyone, as if they are filled with fire. He must not be a good person."
"But is that girl really the princess of Muyun tribe?"
"Why not? Didn't I see those warriors just spared our lives after listening to her words?"
"But if she is really the princess of Muyun tribe, why is she locked up with us now? Besides, this girl is sick, aren't we afraid that she will die of illness in this cage?"
"Who knows if it's a real illness or a fake one? Maybe it's all staged for us..."
Although Jiang Yan couldn't understand, all these words floated into the ears of Tuya, who had just woken up. In the confusion, the Di Ren girl couldn't help but feel ironic in her heart - why do people have to distinguish good and bad from each other?
Wrong? Even among prisoners who are also behind bars, it seems that they need someone to vent their anger to each other in order to survive.
Although the members of the Yimu tribe did not take action directly at the moment, those vicious words were still like red-hot sharp knives, piercing the girl's trembling heart with pain. She only felt that the breath in her chest was uncomfortable, but she did not
I didn't have the strength to argue with the other party, so I could only use my fingertips to hook my companion's clothes and signal him to come over:
"...quickly tell them...stop talking..."
"What ugly words are you talking about? No wonder you guys have been talking like a bunch of rats since you were imprisoned!" The black-eyed boy understood immediately and shouted loudly at the Yimu tribe in front of him.
He yelled, "Everyone is already in trouble, so why can't we shut your mouths?"
"Hey, so many people in our clan have died, and we can't even say a few words? If you and the cavalrymen of the Muyun tribe can die here immediately, we will naturally stop talking!"
There were still some among the prisoners who refused to give up, and continued to curse in a provocative way using the official language that was not very fluent. An unknown fire suddenly ignited in Jiang Yan's heart. He immediately put down the girl in his arms and walked to the other party to point. He pointed at his nose and scolded, but his tone was cold enough to kill:
"You are all strong men. Why didn't you resist when those Tiezhong Mountains killed people? If Tuya hadn't been protecting you all in the valley before, you would have become a pile of corpses on the snowfield by now! If If someone says anything disrespectful again, I will never forgive you!"
But the other party didn't take the young man's warning seriously at all, and instead scolded him more and more fiercely:
"Don't you still want us to be grateful to this girl? Dream on! You guy, you are so determined to help her speak, you probably slept with her, right? The women in the Muyun Department are so coquettish that even the princess can sleep with her. The tribesmen are getting into trouble together! A shameless couple!"
Jiang Yan's temper was like that of a fierce horse. He could not bear the slander after hearing such a slander. He immediately jumped into a rage. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the person who scolded him the most. He saw three signs of anger on his face. fist.
The opponent's nose was immediately broken, and he held the bleeding mouth and nose with both hands and screamed. The remaining Yimu tribe's eyes were red when they saw this, and they all gathered together to attack him, and instantly surrounded the black-eyed boy. .
Although they were outnumbered, they were still no match for Jiang Yan. Even though the young man's shoulder was still injured, and even though the opponent's fist quickly beat him with blood all over his face, the dark-eyed young man didn't seem to care at all. With the intensive fists and kicks on his body, he just grabbed one person and beat him hard, and then continued to attack the next one after beating him down. After a while, he knocked more than ten people to the ground one after another, and he could no longer do it. move.
The Yimu tribe members in the cage were frightened by his desperate aura, and no one dared to bully him any further. It was only then that General Yan, whose face was covered with blood, discovered that there was actually a group of Tiezhongshan sentries standing there. Not far away from me, I witnessed this farce with eyes as if watching a play.
However, those sentries obviously did not come to stop the riot. When the leader saw that everyone in the cage finally gave up, he slowly stepped forward, took out a key and opened the door hanging on the cell door. That heavy lock:
"You, take her with me."
"Great! We're going to drag them out and kill them!" The chief ministers of the Yimu tribe who had just received a beating began to rejoice in their misfortune.
When the sentry saw this, he suddenly raised his eyes: "Whoever dares to say one more word, believe it or not, I will chop off his head first?"
The cell suddenly became quiet again. However, the black-eyed boy did not move. He just stood there and asked:
"Where is this taking us?"
"Where does all this nonsense come from? I don't even know the orders from above!"
The other party replied angrily. Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment, but understood that if Tuya continued to be left in the cage to be beaten by the wind and snow, she would not be able to survive the night, so she shut up and stopped asking any more questions, and just turned around and hugged her gently. The girl got up from the ground and stepped steadily out of the prison door.
Unexpectedly, things finally turned around. This time, the two of them were not sent to be imprisoned elsewhere. Instead, they were invited into a military tent in the camp. What was even more amazing was that there were obviously extra manpower around the tent.
, not only was a warm bonfire raised inside, but also wine, food, and a medical officer were prepared.
The doctor had already brewed several herbs for Tuya, and asked Jiang Yan to help feed the girl and then left. After that, the black-eyed boy stayed motionless by the girl's bed, holding his head until late at night.
She fell into a deep sleep. The herbal medicine took effect quickly, and by dawn, Tuya's high fever had subsided.
In the haze, Jiang Yan suddenly felt that someone was gently wiping his face with water. After opening his eyes, he found that the originally sleepy Princess Di Ren could actually walk around. He was so happy that he immediately started drinking:
"Why are you getting up on your own? Go back and lie down on the couch. I'll get some hot water to warm you up."
"It doesn't matter. But you yourself have not had time to wash off the blood stains on your face. You refused when I asked you to leave. If you had listened to me, you wouldn't have to suffer here now. You are really a fool."
Tuya said, her eyes turned red and she burst into tears.
"Stop crying, I'm most afraid of seeing girls cry. Now I'm glad I didn't leave. If you were left to suffer these crimes alone, then I would be worse than a pig or a dog. After all, you once saved me
Fate, counting this time, this is already the second time." The black-eyed boy shook his head and grinned.
"But I would be worried-"
"You yourself are sick, and you are still worrying about what others are doing, and you are just cultivating yourself. But then again, why did those Tiezhong Mountains suddenly move us here, and still serve us with delicious food and drink?"
Jiang Yan suddenly felt that there was something in the girl's demeanor when she was talking to him that he had not noticed before. This made him deliberately avoid the other party's eyes with some embarrassment, and then quickly changed the topic.
"Perhaps there was news from Yan Luoyuan, ordering them to take us back. It seems that my identity should have been confirmed. So... very good. After all, these Tiezhong Mountains will not mess around again, and we will
Finally I don’t have to run away anymore.”
Tuya whispered, suddenly pursed her lips, and relaxed her frown. The young man opposite also let out a sigh of relief, feeling that the tense nerves that had been tense were relaxing as the girl woke up.
A stiff smile appeared on Yu's face.
In months, this was the first time that the two of them had understood each other tacitly. The things they had experienced together in the past few days had quickly narrowed the distance between them. Now they both felt that the only one they knew in this vast world was the other.
The most trustworthy and reliable one on the snowfield.
"I never had time to ask you. What is the origin of these heavy iron mountains?" the black-eyed boy continued to ask.
"When we talk about Tiechong Mountain, we have to mention my father Han Tieqin. Since his reign, Tiechhong Mountain has been secretly rebuilt on Yanluo Plain. The war sixty years ago almost destroyed Mu Yun.
All of them were exhausted, and Tie Chongshan completely disappeared from the human world. However, Fuhan did not know where he found a complete set of methods including metallurgy, armor forging, and formations, and restored the army bit by bit with his own hands.
The iron cavalry that frightened the world at that time. However, he himself died of illness from exhaustion. Since then, these iron mountains have become the hope for Fuhan's legacy and the re-emergence of the Muyun tribe."
Speaking of her father, Tuya couldn't help but reveal endless longing in her eyes.
"If that's the case, why do they want to kill all the people in the Yimu tribe now? The Shuodi people were able to invade south in a large scale not only because of the power of Tiezhong Mountain, but also because they united the other four tribes, right?"
"Speaking of unity on the grassland is not an easy thing. Otherwise, how could the Muyun tribe have fallen into civil strife, giving the army of the Great Sheng Dynasty an opportunity to take advantage of it?"
The Di girl said, and suddenly sighed, "The reason why Muyun has become the largest grassland is not only the efforts of successive Hehans, but also relying on the strength of several big families to maintain it. However, among these families, there is no There was an overt or covert conflict. After the death of my grandfather Hongji, they gradually divided into two camps. The conservative side, headed by my father Han, had a larger number of people and always advocated recuperation and accumulation of strength. The radical side not only hated the southerners , and even used the crime of treating the terminal illness of the Southern Emperor as a crime, and put it on Yi Mubu's head..."
"So your brother Qin Nahehan is also on the radical side?"
"Edayu has always felt that Fuhan was too forbearing a long time ago. Now that he has just ascended the throne, he is probably eager to establish prestige in front of the major families. This time he ordered Tiezhongshan to attack Yimubu, most likely because he could Winning the support of some powerful people among them..."
After hearing this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but shake his head, and then took out a long dark strip from his arms:
"Perhaps things are not as simple as we think. Let's see what this is?"
The girl stretched out her hand to take the object and saw that it was half a cowhide strap. The strap was four fingers wide, but not too long. It was obviously not meant to be tied around someone's waist. But even the harness used by cavalry was not Such thick material is required.
She hesitantly looked up at the young man in front of her, and what he said next made her hair stand on end.
"This was torn off the neck of the galloping wolf that bit me earlier. It looks like it should be a collar. Although these galloping wolves seem to be wild beasts wandering in the wilderness, I increasingly suspect that they are very likely to be Someone raised it in Lancang Mountain!"
"Don't scare me. How could anyone raise such a dangerous beast? What would you do if you raise it?"
Facing the surprised girl, Jiang Yan began to recall the secrets he discovered under the General's Temple outside Mulu City a few years ago. The more Tuya listened, the more frightened she became, and her tightly clenched hands were covered in cold sweat. :
"You mean, not only do some people raise wolves, but they also send these bloodthirsty beasts thousands of miles away to the south?"
The black-eyed boy nodded solemnly. Earlier, he was tired from running all the way, so these thoughts only flashed through his mind and he didn't have time to think about it carefully. However, now they were connected with each other, and he couldn't help but feel a chill on his back:
"I thought it was too incredible at first, but now the collar on this galloping wolf is the best evidence! Now for your brother, and even the entire Muyun Department, there may be another formidable enemy on the Shuobei Grassland. .And compared to the wolves I met in Ye State three years ago, the beasts in the wilderness are larger, faster, and closer to the territory of the living!"
Hearing what the young man said, Tuya's brows that finally relaxed tightened again. However, once the terrible thought started, she could no longer erase it from her mind. Instead, she would keep thinking about it, It makes people panic.
"I think that the reason why your father Han tried so hard to rebuild Tiechhong Mountain back then was because he was aware of the strange movements of these man-eating giant wolves. After all, even if there is no Tiechhong Mountain, there are other ways to make all the grassland tribes surrender. But if these ferocious beasts are allowed to suffer,
People are driving people to attack down the mountain, if there is no resistance from Tiezhong Mountain, the entire Yanluo Plain will soon turn into a sea of blood!"
"You're right. Fuhan left too suddenly, and Eda must have known nothing about Chilang's threat! This attack on the Yimu tribe is too hasty, and I'm afraid it will bring trouble to the Muyun tribe.
Even bigger trouble is coming! No matter who is raising these galloping wolves and what their purpose is, now the other party has clearly taken the lead!"
Jiang Yan's well-founded analysis made Princess Shuodi feel uneasy and filled with endless worries. She immediately stood up, opened the tent door, and asked the warriors to return to Yanluo Plain immediately and take her to the meeting.
When she met Hehan, her half-brother from the Muyun tribe, she knew that the other party might not even listen to what she said.
