The tips of Su Ningxin's fingers holding the horse's rein turned white, but there was nothing wrong with her face. "I am from the Keke tribe, and they are from other tribes."
When she spoke, she deliberately changed her voice, making her originally rough voice sound a bit juvenile.
"Why did they get involved with other tribes?" The man continued to ask, but he was just confused, but did not think that they were not Xixia people. The Daqi people disguised themselves as Xixia people and came to a royal tribe with tens of thousands of soldiers. They were simply not It's unimaginable that such a thing would happen.
"I don't know if you've heard that a chamber of commerce in our tribe ran away a few days ago. Maybe they couldn't tell the direction on the grassland and came all the way here. The leader of our tribe sent people to intercept them, but he didn't want anyone else to do so. When the human tribe was idle, we were the ones to help, so each tribe sent out people." Su Ningxin's mind was spinning rapidly, trying to think of a self-explanatory explanation.
The man nodded and said, "I think I've heard of it." His tone was uncertain. He probably only heard some scattered information about the Kekebu Chamber of Commerce. If Su Ningxin's words were correct, he already believed most of them.
The man seemed to be saying to himself, "I often go to the Keke Department, so why don't I have any impression of you?"
Su Ning approached him mysteriously and lifted up half of her beard to show him, "Brother, if you ask me again, it will be revealed. They said I was not old enough to be a soldier, so I asked Tia to make me a fake beard. Just came to be a soldier."
The Huhebu burst out laughing when he heard Su Ningxin's words, while Su Ningxin lowered her head pretending to be embarrassed.
This time Su Ningxin spoke in a very clean voice, like that of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy. In addition, she was not tall to begin with. Although she raised her shoes to pretend to be a man, she could not tell how tall she was when riding on a horse. As soon as Su Ningxin guided him, the other party immediately believed his words.
After the other party laughed, he chatted with her for a few words, "You and Tia have a good relationship."
"It's okay. I bought herbal medicine from her before I left. Look, she also gave me a woolen bear." As she said that, Su Ningxin showed him the little bear she bought from Tia. This little bear was very small, with only Half the palm of the hand was used to hit, and Su Ningxin usually put it in the cuff of the sleeve.
The other party took the little bear to look at, and Su Ningxin continued, "I'm also afraid of getting injured in the war. Brother, you are from the tribe next door and are close to us. If you get injured, you can come to our department and ask me for herbs."
The Huhebu showed a disgusted expression, "Bah, I'm invincible, how could I get hurt?"
"Okay, okay, you won't get hurt. If you do, don't beg me." Su Ningxin said deliberately dissatisfied, very similar to the Xixia people's character.
Seeing that Su Ningxin was a little kid, the man didn't care about him, "Okay, okay, go in quickly, be careful if you come back late, your leader will punish you, so I'll give this to me." After saying that, he raised his hand. woolen bear.
"That person was given to me as a gift." Su Ningxin said unwillingly.
The man curled his lips and said, "What do you know, you little brat? You only see beautiful girls from several tribes around us, Dingtiya. You don't know that they don't like you at all. She was born in a big Qi family and she only thinks about going there all day long." Da Qi, she doesn’t even want to think about it, her father is from Xixia, and she has the blood of Xixia. How can the people from Da Qi let her enter the border? You’d better find a girl like us from Xixia.”
"Okay." Su Ningxin looked a little disappointed, and then the man waved his hand to let them go. After Su Ningxin and the others walked away, they could still hear the laughter behind them. It was probably because the man was talking about little kids wearing beards. Sneaking in to serve as a soldier. .
Chu Jihan and others followed without saying a word and entered a small tribe at the edge. After passing through the perimeter and entering inside, they were much safer, because Xixia all gathered in the form of tribes, and the Khan also had His own tribe, but his tribe is the strongest, so he can rule other tribes.
The tribes were not familiar with each other, and some had never even heard of each other. Su Ningxin and the others were walking here and no one doubted their identities.
Away from the sight of the peripheral patrol, Chu Jihan ordered everyone to separate. According to the previous arrangement, they were divided into four groups to go to different tribes. They would wait until the fire started here before lighting fires. It was best to take advantage of the chaos to escape. As for whether they could return safely. Da Qi depends on his personal destiny.
Su Ningxin was naturally in a group with Chu Jihan. Also in the same group were Ajiu and two other secret guards. They wanted to go to the northwest according to the wind direction. From there, they could light a fire and use the wind to carry the fire to the southeast. If they were lucky, It's a good bet that it might ignite the royal tribe.
Of course, it's unlikely. After all, it's the Khan's tribe, and someone should be able to deal with it once there's a fire.
Su Ningxin and the others walked to a place close to the northwest. The tribes here were relatively dense. If one tribe was set alight, the nearby tribes would not be spared either. A group of five people walked on the edge of the tribe in the night without being noticed. They took advantage of anyone's attention. , they took out the ignition fuel they brought and lit it and threw it on the tent where the fodder was stored.
The five people acted together and quickly set several tents on fire. At the same time, Xixia noticed it. Someone shouted "It's on fire" in Xixia language.
The tribes stationed were all young soldiers, and there were no old or weak women, so they reacted quickly. Some of them ran out of the tents and started putting out the fire. Others noticed Chu Jihan and the others and started shouting that someone was setting the fire.
Although they were discovered, Su Ningxin and others were still galloping on their horses while throwing fire sources around. Their purpose of risking their lives on this trip was to cause irreparable losses to the Xixia cavalry army and prevent them from attacking. On the Daqi border, if the fire was too small and extinguished, their operation would be completely meaningless.
After locking Chu Jihan and several people, some soldiers from the tribe mounted their horses and chased after them. At the same time, bone arrows flew past from time to time. There was a lack of metal in Xixia, so there were not many weapons that were difficult to make with iron. The arrows were usually from animals. bones.
Su Ningxin leaned down to avoid a bone arrow that was shot to the back. She looked at the Xixia people coming from the surrounding tribes on horseback, and shouted to Chu Jihan who was also riding fast, "Let's go! If you don't go, you won't be able to leave." .”
Chu Jihan obviously noticed the people surrounding him and said to Ah Jiu and others who were following behind him, "Retreat!"
Everyone walked northwest according to the plan. They were now in the northwest direction of the entire camp. Going to the northwest was the closest. After they were out of the siege, they would circle back and head east back to Daqi. But would there be anyone to intercept them then? The Xixia people don’t know.
The eyebrow-tip knife in Su Ningxin's hand blocked three arrows in a row, and she frowned tightly. The arrows were very powerful and the shots were accurate. Whether they were shot at her or at the bay red horse under her, they were all hit. It's to the point.
