The red-headed man who had been silent tilted his head to look at Xiao Heng for a while, then sneered and mocked, "I thought she would fall in love with someone of great stature, but she is pinning her hopes on someone of high status? A royal family?"
The red-headed man looked Xiao Heng up and down, and said without any hesitation: "A few generations ago, my grandfather or great-grandfather was also the king of Miaojiang! We are also the descendants of Chiyou, who is not nobler than who?!"
There is nothing strange about the fact that many Miao people believe that they are descendants of Chi You.
He said that there once was a Miao King here, and he was not wrong.
Xiao Heng looked at him very calmly while he was mocking her. When he finally finished his endless chatter, he raised his eyelids coldly and said, "I say, take that thing off my friend's face."
The red-headed turban turned a deaf ear to him. Not only did he not do what he was told, he even laughed at Xiao Heng: "You don't really think that your status as the eldest grandson of the emperor will be of any use to us, do you? I tell you, if you are a dragon, coil up here for me, if you are a tiger, lie prone for me! With your status, do you really think we are afraid of you? Do you know that if I just move my finger, all of you will die here?!"
How arrogant!
For a moment, Su Rong really felt that these people were even more hateful than the Oirat people and the Japanese pirates. He looked at them coldly and said, "If you kill us, the imperial court will definitely wipe you out at all costs!"
This is the truth. The imperial court might have been concerned about avoiding casualties before, and had not yet come up with a good solution, so it was stuck in a stalemate with these Miao people.
But if something happens to Xiao Heng here, it will be a different story.
The imperial court will definitely destroy this village at all costs.
No matter how powerful these Miao people are, or how many poisonous insects, snakes and ants they have, they will eventually run out, and that will be the day of their death.
The red headscarf laughed disdainfully, not taking the threat seriously at all. They even whistled maliciously. Then Su Rong felt that the thing on his face moved, as if it was crawling, and something even touched his upper lip.
At this moment, Xiao Heng suddenly raised his hand, and then unexpectedly fired a shot at the Miao man who had attacked Su Rong before, next to the red headscarf.
The fire gun was extremely powerful and shocking. None of the Miao people had expected that Xiao Heng actually had such a thing, and they were all at a loss for a moment.
There seemed to be a big hole in the man's chest. He suddenly fell off the horse's back and fell to the ground. He twitched a few times and then stopped moving.
Just like the Han people were horrified and surprised when these people used witchcraft, the Miao people were also horrified and shocked by the weapon in Xiao Heng's hand.
This thing was completely incomprehensible and unknown to them, so much so that the Red Turban shuddered subconsciously and asked in horror: "What did you do?! What did you do to him?!"
Xiao Heng blew away the smoke from the muzzle of the musket coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Just think of it as a kind of witchcraft, but did you see my speed just now? You might as well think about it carefully, is your running as fast as mine, and is your poison as fast as mine. If not, if you don't get rid of this thing today, I will let you all die here. I can say it and I can do it."
When Xiao Heng made threats, usually no one really thought he was making threats.
Because even his tone was flat and without any fluctuation.
But the red headscarf didn't dare to take him as nonsense. Seeing that Xiao Heng had even started to raise his hand, he suddenly shouted to the people around him: "Quick! Put it down! Put it down!"
You see, all people in this world are like this, no matter if they are Miao or Han. As long as their lives are threatened, they will immediately become normal people and know how to be afraid.
The people around the red-headed scarf were also frightened. They whistled a few times without delay. They didn't know how he did it, but Su Rong felt that the thing on his face moved, and then quickly left his body.
But his face still hurt a lot.
Once the poison was removed, the red turban looked at Xiao Heng warily and sneered: "Don't act rashly. Even if you kill us, you can't leave this mountain!"
Xiao Heng glanced at them coldly: "Then why are you still talking nonsense? Why don't you get out of here?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the red-turbaned man ran away without any hesitation.
The other few people protected him behind him and soon ran out of sight. They came and left as fast as they did.
Xiao Heng breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that it was getting dark, he said to Song Xiangyu and the others, "Dad, let's go back first."
It's dark, so even if we have muskets, their effectiveness will be limited.
This time it was fortunate that the Miao people had never seen this thing, otherwise it would be hard to say whether they could escape.
Song Xiangyu also knew the seriousness of the situation, so he nodded quickly and helped Su Rong onto the horse.
This time they found the way back easily and returned to the barracks just when several generals in the camp were anxiously leading their troops to look for people.
Everyone was terrified, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xiao Heng and the others return safely. They couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, you can't go alone in the future. What if something happens?"
The army cannot be without a commander for a day. If something happens to Xiao Heng, there are still 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers!
Xiao Heng nodded without saying anything more, and then instructed He Chaoyan: "Pack up the belongings of Fu Dingping and the other patrolmen, and give them credit."
He Chaoyan's heart skipped a beat, and her voice trembled a little: "They..."
Fu Dingping and He Chaoyan are sworn brothers and have a very good relationship with each other. They even arranged for their children to be in-laws.
Song Xiangyu knew this, so he sighed, patted him on the back, and said softly, "They all died in battle for their country. Pack up their things and return to their relatives when the time comes."
He Chaoyan took a step back, her face full of confusion and bewilderment.
He didn't understand. Those injured soldiers were going to attack the county town, so it was normal for them to be injured. But Fu Dingping's recent missions were all patrolling and he was always nearby. Why did he die in battle
Su Rong had been to Beizhen with He Chaoyan, and the two had become somewhat acquainted. Seeing that He Chaoyan had not made any move for a long time, Su Rong told her about what had happened to Fu Dingping and the others.
When they heard that even the body could not be found, many people's faces changed.
There are indeed a lot of deaths on the battlefield, but the battlefield is usually cleaned up afterwards.
