You Miao got up and followed Li Zhifeng out without saying a word. The two walked through the barracks. You Miao couldn't help but ask, "What's the relationship between He Motie'er and you? Are you two familiar?"
Li Zhifeng said: "I met a few times when I was young, and the one who taught me to practice riding and archery was Zebe of the Tartars and his good brother, but then there was a war between the Tartars and the Quanrong people, and Zebe died in the battle. Now, by my elder brother's arrow."
"Yeah." You Miao didn't know how to evaluate the relationship between the Quanrong people and the Tatars. In this way, it was indeed very complicated.
"I wanted to come over and take you back before He Motie'er returned to Da'an." Li Zhifeng was a little embarrassed, and said, "But because of your injury at the time, I'm afraid I can't stand the long-distance bumps. If I only want to save you, I just need to tell you. He Motieer, I sent you to deliver a letter to my elder brother. You can just slip back to Jiangnan halfway."
"What about you?" You Miao asked.
Li Zhifeng did not answer.
The two walked to a low mountain, and You Miao looked around. The guards here were very lax. Li Yan, wearing handcuffs and shackles, was busy behind the hillside. Each Han Chinese had a scooter carrying dead bodies, most of whom were ordinary people after the massacre.
These Han slaves dragged the corpses of their compatriots outside the city, then threw them into a pit, and burned the pits for several days, burning the corpses to the ground. Li Yan was disheveled and ragged, and his son and buddies were all bruised from the cold, but he was trembling and working for the Tartars.
"Do you hate him?" You Miao asked while standing outside the pit.
"I don't hate it." Li Zhifeng replied lightly.
You Miao asked again, "I want to save him."
Li Zhifeng said, "I heard it last night."
You Miao thought that Li Yan had almost killed Li Zhifeng once, and this hatred might still exist in Li Zhifeng's heart, and he asked again, "I mean, can I save him out?"
Li Zhifeng nodded and said, "Yes, you have the final say."
Just at this time, there was no one at the pit, so You Miao turned over to the corpse cremation pit. Li Zhifeng walked away from a high place to help You Miao let out the wind. The sound of You Miao coming down alarmed the teenagers who were dealing with the corpse. When they got up, for a moment, everyone showed hope and wanted to run towards You Miao.
Qian Hui: "Ziqian!"
Pingxi: "You're here! You're not dead!"
"Don't come here!" Li Yan warned them in a low voice.
You Miao ran to Li Yan's side, grabbed him by the collar, pressed him against the wall, and whispered threateningly, "You bastard! After reading so many books, where is your integrity!"
Li Yanshen became angry, but instead grabbed You Miao's clothes, turned around and pressed him against the wall, with ferocious features, describing horror: "I am a waste?! Energy can save the country and save the people?! Qi can drive the Tatars home. You say it! You have Li Zhifeng to protect you, what can we do?! Others don't even understand, even you don't understand?! You motherfucker, your conscience was eaten by dogs! If it wasn't for the young master You, you died on the first day you came here! Young master kowtowed to the Tartar dog with all his might, in exchange for your life, you have the life to talk about integrity, honor and shame?!"
You Miao and Li Yan gasped for breath, like two angry bulls, Li Yan gradually calmed down, gritted his teeth and said, "You read, your master didn't teach you Goujian about living hard?! Goujian can eat shit! Wait for me to come back. To the south, let’s see if Qi can save Tianqi, or if the young master can take care of things!”
You Miao let out a long breath, and at this moment he understood Tang's insistence.
But Li Yan ignored him, as if desperate for You Miao, turned around and moved the body again.
"Li Yan!" A young man not far away whispered, "Come here."
Li Yan said: "No time! Hurry up and work on you! Don't think too much of the motherfucker, he won't save us!"
"No!" The boy leaned on a shovel and waved to Li Yan: "Come and see, who is this woman..."
Li Yan's expression froze, and he dropped the shovel and walked over quickly.
You Miao followed behind him, and several teenagers all gathered in one place, looking at the corpses on the trolley. It was Liu Shaling, whose skin was open and fleshy, and her body was purple and black, and it had already changed beyond recognition. His hands were still tied with ropes, and the ropes reached the bones, and his wrists were almost cut by the ropes, revealing bloody pieces of flesh.
There was a moment of silence, and the sound of the guqin from Tingyulou seemed to echo in You Miao's ears. Those broken hands once plucked the strings slenderly and sang in a melodious voice: "Shuangfei Ke from the world, the old wing has been cold and summer a few times..."
"It's Miss Liu..." someone whispered.
There was a silence, someone started crying, You Miao couldn't help choking.
Li Yan looked numb and said, "Bury her."
He turned around and slowly walked back to his previous position. You Miao looked at his back and had an illusion that Li Yan seemed to be hunched a lot.
"She gave this to you." You Miao took out the jade bracelet from her arms and handed it to Li Yan. Li Yan glanced at it and remained silent. You Miao whispered again: "I will let Li Zhifeng think of something and take you back together."
Li Yan looked at the jade bracelet, and said in a shaky voice: "If you have a horse, you must run day and night, or you will be overtaken by the Tartars as soon as you go out. From Liangxi to Hanyin, all of them are now Hu people. Territory."
Youmiao said, "If we don't go to their place, let's go out from Zhengliangguan, go to Dongliang, enter the territory of the Tartars, and then go back through Goryeo."
Li Yan drew a topographic map of Da'an City on the ground, looked up at You Miao, marked the map, it was a prison, and said, "Remember, you must remember."
You Miao said: "Tomorrow at the third watch, I'll go find a way to steal the horse."
Li Yan: "Just take them away. I can't leave, and the Tartars recognize me. After you go back, you can find my old husband and ask him to take money to redeem me."
You Miao whispered in Li Yan's ear: "Try it first, if it doesn't work, then talk about it."
Li Yan: "I don't want to keep Pingxi and them together! Pingxi and them are slaves, and I am going back to He Motieer from Huathong..."
You Miao said, "I'll ask Li Zhifeng to buy you from the flower thorns. Don't make a sound. At the third watch tomorrow, remember to tell them the news."
Li Yan separated from You Miao, You Miao quickly jumped to the edge of the pit, and told Li Zhifeng about his plan with Li Yan.
"The stable is to the west." You Miao said, "I will wait for you outside the west gate of Da'an City after I stole the horse."
Li Zhifeng said, "I brought them all out?"
You Miao said: "In this way, let's work separately, steal horses together in the first half of the night, and then steal the keys to Ping Xi's cell. In the second half of the night, you go to rescue the female relatives, and I will rescue the men in the prison."
Li Zhifeng nodded without thinking, and You Miao said again, "Is Huathorn a general?"
Li Zhifeng thought for a while and replied, "He was the third person under He Motie's table that day."
You Miao asked, "Can you buy Li Yan over here?"
Li Zhifeng frowned slightly and said, "I'll do it."
