Chapter 14 Mysterious Village

In the third month after the discovery of the stone tablet engraved with ancient Khitan characters, the fourth prince Wanyansu has set out with a vast team. The first one is a team of hard-trained cavalry, which was given to him by Beidi Khan. Wanyansu put this cavalry at the front, which is not only majestic, but also useful at critical times. To open the way, in the words of the road, it is to clear mines.

"Thundersweeping means that if there is danger, let this group of people die first and remind the people behind them." Leng Changxi carefully explained the terminology to Qin Yunuan. In order to show that Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan were distinguished guests, Wanyan Su originally prepared an extremely comfortable carriage for the two, but Qin Yunuan refused. A woman with white veil tied her eyes rode a tall horse on the street, which was quite eye-catching.

Qin Yunuan didn't care. She listened carefully to Leng Changxi's description of the team.

"There are about 170 people, together with Yaqi who was sent to take care of you, there are only seven women."

"Seven women?" Qin Yunuan's tone rose slightly and seemed to be a little surprised. This number was really a little too much for a team that went to such a dangerous thing.

Yaqi is going to take care of herself, so what about the other six?

"The other six were all sent by the head of the palace, saying that they were maidservants serving the queue along the road."

Munservant? Qin Yunuan knew very well, but in order to satisfy the vigorous and endless animal desire of these young men, Qin Yunuan can't say anything, because such a situation is very normal in Beidi, and such an arrangement is also very considerate to these soldiers who risk their lives to find treasures for Beidi.

All the way to the sand, Qin Yunuan was wrapped in a thick white veil to barely avoid the attack of the mung bean-sized sandstone. In the evening, it was not early. The leading soldiers said to the outline of the house shadowed in the yellow sand: "Your Highness, there is a village in front of you, you can rest for a while."

Wanyansu was also a little caught off guard by the yellow sand in the sky. He ordered to move forward at full speed towards the village.

Qin Yunuan drove her horse and happened to see a maid walking in front of her accidentally fall. Fortunately, she was helped by a general beside her, but she not only did not thank her, but showed an extremely disgusted look, pushing the taxi away and even patting the place supported by the soldiers with disgust.

Qin Yunuan left an eye and continued to follow the team to run towards the village in the distance. When it arrived at the entrance of the village, although the sandstorm had stopped, the sun had also gone down. Only two lonely stone tablets standing at the entrance of the village stood as a landmark existence.

"Tamr Village." Wan Yansu looked at the vague handwriting and said, "It seems that our march is very smooth. If we go down at this speed, we can go to the Savage Valley the day after tomorrow."

The Savage Valley is not far from Beidi, but there are few post stations and villages along the way. Coupled with the terrible legend about this Savage Valley, few people dare to set foot in that place. This village is already the nearest village across the Savage Valley. In addition, there is no other place to live.

"Wild Valley? Are you going to Savage Valley? Hearing Wanyan Su's words, a small old man in a gray cotton-padded coat suddenly fell down from behind the stone tablet. He appeared so suddenly and had no vitality, which always made people doubt whether he had been stuck to this stone tablet before.

"Old man." Wanyansu disared and picked up the old man who fell to the ground.

But the old man ungratefully pushed Wan Yansu away and stepped back three feet and said, "Go away. How can you crazy people want to go to such a terrible place?"

Wanyansu smiled and tried to make a gentle smile: "Old man, we are here under the order of the Great Khan. I just want to ask, is there any place in your village where we can rest for a while?"

The old man waved his hand and spit on the ground: "No, no, our village is already small, and there is no inn at all. You alone are already more than the people in our village. There is no room for you, and you can go wherever you come from. Don't come to this damn place."

Wanyansu stretched out his hand and stopped him and smiled, "It's such an old man. We don't want to disturb the rest of the village, but we came all the way, and the water in the kettle was gone. We also wanted to buy some water in the village to save people's lives. Do you think this is good?"

The old man Fang wanted to shake his head and refuse, but a young man suddenly emerged from behind the old man. He was not tall, thin, with black eyes and full of charm. Such a figure is rare in Beidi. Most of the men in Beidi are tall and brave.

"I'm sorry," the young man hurriedly explained, "My father is a little confused and abruptly. In this way, there is a well in our village, but at this time, some people have rested. In order not to disturb the rest of the people in the village, I also asked you to send two people to follow me. Go and carry water. If you don't mind it, I still have some hoarded bun cakes at home.

"It's okay." Wanyansu turned around and let the team camp five miles away from the village. Although it was sparse, it was a poplar forest that could also shelter from the wind and scorching sun. It looked a little strange in the increasingly dark of the night, and there was an indescribable fear.

More than 170 people camped on the spot, and the two strong men selected by Wanyansu. They watched the two clever soldiers follow the young man in the village to carry water. Before leaving, they used color for the two of them, which meant that they should be smart, act in the village and try to get some favorable information.

Qin Yunuan sat next to the root of an old poplar tree and took over the horn kettle handed over by Leng Changxi. Yaqi beside her was sorting out the tightly wrapped pancakes, breaking them into small pieces for Qin Yunuan and handing them to Qin Yunuan on a white veil.

Qin Yuwarn chewed the hard scones carefully, and her nose had sensitively captured the information from the air.

"There is something wrong with this poplar forest." Qin Yunuan lowered her head and bit the crispy edge of the baking cake and said softly, as if she was not surprised.

Leng Changxi sat down and drooled: "I also think so. After a day of exposure, the roots of the poplar forest here are still moist. It can only show that someone has watered the poplar forest. The nearest village here is that there is no need to water when the poplar trees grow naturally. If someone has to The hard work of picking water from five miles away can only show that the poplar forest here has just been planted.

"I think so too," Qin Yunuan continued, "but it's not because of the poplar forest, but the village itself," Qin Yunuan looked at Leng Changxi and said, "Any place where people live will have a smell of oil and smoke, but this tower The air in Muer Village is very pure.

"Maybe the wind blew away the smell?" Yaqi echoed.

"Yaqi, you have to believe my nose. It can never be wrong."

Yaqi shrank her neck and took over a piece of baking cake handed over by Qin Yunuan. At the same time, a man's shouting and coax suddenly came from the other side of the camp, speaking Beidi with dirty words, which made Qin Yunuan, who was gradually proficient in the language, frown slightly.

The cheering people over there also noticed this side. They looked cautiously at Qin Yunuan, and then pulled these maidservant surrounded by them into the woods. It seemed that they were going to do something. Qin Yunuan did not stop them, but just turned sideways to avoid hearing the movement from the forest, as usual. Once the maidservant came out with the army, she probably knew that her mission was to make this group of men happy, but only one resisted to leave. She used both hands and feet, bowed her head and resisted with a soldier dragging her.

"Get out of here, do you pickles also deserve to touch me?" This woman has such a big tone.

But then, this seemingly chaste words immediately welcomed the soldier's slap, and the red palm print did not seem to be enough to make him vent his anger. He grabbed the woman's hair and roared, "It's just a bitch. What else to pretend to be high."

When the broken hair on the woman's forehead was all touched behind her ears and her beautiful and light face was completely exposed to the air, Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi couldn't help but thump.

" Stop, what are you doing?" Wan Yansu appeared in time. He hugged the abused woman and stroked the hot five-finger prints on her face sadly, "Yasu, why are you here?"

That's right. When she set out, she was helped because of the fall, but she disliked the soldier who helped her, so the person who attracted Qin Yunuan's attention was none other than Yasu, the side concubine of the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

The close guard of the fourth prince immediately reprimanded the soldier and said, "This is the side concubine of our fourth prince's mansion. You are all dirty. Even if you are accompanied by the sweat, if you hit the side concubine, you can't afford to pay for your life."

The soldier knelt down tremblingly. Wanyansu quickly pulled the trembling Yasu to sit down. Qin Yunuan handed over half a pot of horn kettle and heard the intermittent conversation between the two.

"Why are you here? He was still hiding in the team and dressed as a maidservant. Looking at the drawing of this face, I didn't recognize you.

"Your Highness, I figured it out. Instead of stopping you from stopping you from the Savage Valley, I might as well go with you. In case you have a...

The two said that the personal bodyguard just came to ask how to deal with the impolite soldier of the opposite concubine. Wan Yansu hesitated a little. After all, this was rewarded by the sweat, and it was not easy for him to take a heavy move.

"What else can be done? Naturally, it is cut in place." Leng Changxi's voice was very thin and clear without any kindness.
