Chapter 31, Hanjing Huren

After asking Zu Ji to go to the horse farm to inquire about the news, Zu Zhao took the rest of the people straight around the horse market and came to the back of the horse market according to the clues provided by the restaurant clerk. This is an unmanageable fruit forest. Standing outside the woodland, you can see two tents in the forest, and several figures are moving around the tent.

Walking into the fruit forest, I soon saw that those walking figures were Hu people in strange clothes. Some people were washing clothes, some people were squatting outside the tent to clean up some nuts from the Western Regions, and some people were packaging a bag of beautifully carved animal bones. It is not difficult to speculate that these barbarians usually make a living by selling nuts, animal bones and other goods.

Before approaching, these Hu people quickly noticed the appearance of Zu Zhao and his party, and put down the things at hand in an instant and quickly gathered together. The three men quickly let the women's family and children hide in the tent, and they picked up sticks or knives and stared at these "bad intentions" aliens on guard.

For Zu Zhao and others, they were also on guard, and several children couldn't help but put their hands on the hilt of the sword between their waists.

"Which of you can speak Chinese?" In the near future, they kept a distance from each other, and Zu Zhao asked lurely.

The three Hu people did not speak and looked at each other with indifferent eyes. In the tent behind them, several female figures were probing their heads, all with worried faces.

"Thief, what about you? There is no reason why you can't speak Chinese when you come here to do business. A grumpy son took a step forward and scolded with contempt.

The Hu man still didn't say anything, but the anger in his eyes jumped on the paper.

At this moment, there was a sudden shout of nonsense behind the fruit forest. After a while, a slender figure came from the distance. Not only did Zu Zhao and others look for the voice suspiciously, but even the three Hu people seemed to be a little panicked and turned their heads and looked back. One of the Hu people couldn't help shaking his hand to the original man behind the fruit forest and responded in nonsense. From the look and tone of his speech, it could be faintly inferred that it meant that the other party would not come over.

However, the slender figure did not stop, but ran to the three Hu people. This person is a slender and graceful Hu girl, with reddish-brown hair spread over her shoulders, her blue eyes are like a pair of gems, and her wheat-like skin color is more exotic. Her face is very thin and sharp, but I have to admit that she is a beautiful face. Even in late autumn, she still wears thin foreign clothes, and her willow waist is half exposed, which is very sexy and enchanting.

The only shocking scenery is that the girl has a short machete in her hand, and her blue eyes are full of anger and murderous intent, which makes people dare not have any light thoughts.

Zu Zhao looked at the Hu girl carefully. Judging from her skin color, hair color and eyes, she should not be Wuhuan, Xianbei or Qiang, but like a Hu person from the Western Regions. He felt a little strange about this. After all, it is a long way from the Western Regions. If it is really for business, there are also border markets run by the government in Xiliang.

The three Hu people were very nervous about the appearance of Hu Nv. One of them quarreled with Hu Nv and gestured to let Hu Nv quickly hide away. However, no matter what the three barbarians said, the barbarian still had no intention of leaving. She stood firm and stared at the aliens in front of them aggressively.

"We're not here to make trouble, we're just here to ask about something. Do any of you know Chinese? Zu Zhao didn't want to waste any more time and said it again in a calm voice.

"What the hell do you guys want to do! I won't apologize and I won't leave. I'm not afraid of you." After listening to Zu Zhao's words, Hu Nv said in a harsh Chinese with a strong accent.

"I don't know you, so I can't apologize unless you do something shady." Zu Zhao's tone was determined. Although his voice was not loud, he seemed to be full of confidence and had a kind of anger and prestige.

"You, who are you not the day before yesterday?" Hu's face was suspicious, and she asked in a slightly relaxed tone.

"No."

"So, what are you doing here?"

"Yesterday evening, a batch of breeding horses that had just been bought from here were robbed in Balipu. What do you know?" Zu Zhao said quietly, staring at the Hu people like an falcon to see the changes in their faces. He has a good idea that this is not the era of the legal system. As long as the Hu people have any strangeness, they can do it immediately without any evidence.

Hu Nv frowned and first turned around to talk to the Hu people in Hu language. The Hu people's reaction was very strong, but she couldn't understand what they were talking about.

"It has nothing to do with us. Since we came here, we have been here every day and never left." After the conversation, Hu Nv turned around and said righteously.

Zu Zhao was silent for a while, and no obvious abnormality was found through his observation. These people were not injured, and they were strong and tall. If they really participated in the robbery last night, they would definitely impress Uncle Hong and others. In addition, he is more or less worried about what his grandfather said about the Qiang people, but the Hu people and Qiang people in front of him are not the same nation at all, and there are also contradictions and estrangement between the Hu people.

However, at this time, a son of the ancestral family suddenly pointed to the back of the fruit forest and shouted, "Big prince, look, there is a horse there."

Zu Zhao tightened his mind and looked in the direction he pointed. There was indeed a horse shaking in the depths of the woods, and this direction was exactly the direction Hu Nu came before.

Several barbarians seemed to notice something and suddenly shouted and waved the equipment in their hands to demonstrate to the children of the ancestral family.

The beautiful Hu girl's pretty face first flashed doubts, and then immediately became nervous. She warned Zu Zhao, "We have nothing to do with you. You are not welcome here. You go, you go quickly!"

Before, the grumpy children of the ancestral family sneered coldly: "Well, this is the territory of the Han Dynasty. You thieves are unpopular. How dare you be presumptuous?"

Zu Zhao ignored Hu Nv, pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist and walked to the depths of the woods.

Hu Nv rushed forward to stop her. She was in a hurry for a moment. She shouted to Zu Zhao, and then changed back to Chinese and said, "What do you want to do? We have nothing to do with you. Go quickly!"

Zu Zhao took a look at Hu Nv. The other party was not old, but after years of wind and sand wandering, she looked very haggard. Originally, a beautiful reddish-brown hair seems to be dry and dull because it often has no time and conditions to take care of it. He can't see the real fierce side of the other party, and naturally he won't think of it as the murderer.

Even so, no clue can be let go of now!

He didn't respond and still walked to the back of the woods.

Hu Nv was shocked and slave, and suddenly pulled out the machete in her hand and pointed straight to Zu Zhao. Seeing this, all the children of the ancestral family came out of their sheaths and surrounded the generals one after another to fight. The three Hu people also chatted, waved sticks and came forward, guarding the Hu girl around.

No matter the number of people or the quality of weapons, Zu Zhao obviously has the upper hand. Although Hu's voice did not diminish, if you look carefully, you can also find that they are shaking with their bound hands, and their faces are more shocked than anger. However, although the Hu girl was very panicked, the anger and murderousness in her eyes did not diminish at all, and she did not even step back.

Zhu Zhao raised his hand and motioned the children not to do it for the time being. He said to Hu Nv, "I said, I mean no harm. If you don't do anything shady, there is no need to hide like this. You should know very well that if you do it now, it will only be you who will suffer. As long as it disturbs the government, the prison disaster will not escape all of you.

After he finished speaking, no matter whether Hu Nv understood it or not, he continued to walk forward under the cover of the swords of his children.

When I came to the back of the fruit forest, I soon saw that the horse was actually a scarred jujube horse, fully equipped with reins and cushions. Several injuries on the horse were knife wounds and several arrow wounds. However, all the wounds have been treated with grass and mud. Although the horse has lost a circle of fat, at least it still has the strength to stand up straight.

There is a stout not far from the horse, with a small pottery pot and a small bowl on it. There are still some ground herbs left in the bowl, which are the same color and smell as the grass and mud on the horse. Zu Zhao remembered that the Hu girl's hands seemed to be stained with green marks just now. Obviously, the horse's injury was carefully taken care of by the Hu girl.

Beared, Hu Nu shouted angrily, "That's my horse. Don't touch it."

After seeing the cushion of Zu Zhao, a son who followed Zu Zhao suddenly pulled down his face and tried his best to control his emotions and said, "Sir, the pattern woven on the cushion is the emblem of our ancestral family. This seems to be Uncle Chen's mount on the horse farm."

Once the words were said, other people's faces changed greatly.

"The Hu dog who was killed by thousands of knives dared to rob my ancestral horse team. Let me see if I don't cut you!"

"A thief is a thief, and today you will be paid with blood."

Several children's eyes were red and they were about to rush up with knives.

Hu Renqi was shocked and didn't expect these people to do it. The women and children hiding in the tent also exclaimed, accompanied by a few unstoppable choking and crying. Only the Hu girl's reaction was different. Just as the children of the ancestral family were ready to move, she rushed forward and waved the machete to take the initiative.

The front few ancestors didn't pay attention to women, but what could this delicate woman do?

The subjective enemy soon caused serious consequences. Hu Nv walked lightly, and the arrow stepped forward, and the short machete in her hand waved like a spirit snake. Before a son of the ancestral family could react, he only took two moves and was stabbed in the shoulder by Hu Nv, and even suffered a kick and fell to the ground.
