The Hu people laughed again and again, the language You Miao did not understand at all. While hiding, he secretly scolded this group of people for being idiots. When is it not good to rob something? Wouldn't it be better to stop and rob goods before entering town? They are all goods from the Central Plains, and to rob them now is nothing more than taking back the furs and other specialties outside the Great Wall that were exchanged for them... By the way, why didn't they rob the goods before? All the way from Yangkou Mountain, such a good opportunity, why not rob it
You Miao vaguely thought of one thing—these people must have been brought here by Li Zhifeng! No, no, no... This thought was like a shadow, and instantly enveloped him.
The carriage moved without warning, and You Miao was shocked again. The Hu people shouted, and then the whole carriage turned to the left, and Yumiao's eyes were thrown into the sky.
The entire carriage rolled over to the ground, the charcoal fire poured out, fell on the quilt, and ignited the inside of the carriage in an instant. You Miao coughed loudly. Hearing the noise outside, he could no longer hide, so he had to cover his head with a robe and push When he opened the window, the barbarians were screaming in his ear. As soon as You Miao went out, he was picked up, dragged all the way on the snow, and then dropped to the ground. The snow was very cold.
After You Miao finished speaking, at this time, what he wanted to shout was not that I have money, please don't kill me, but that he couldn't help but look up to see if there was Li Zhifeng in the group.
The Hu people were holding torches, their faces full of flesh, and stood around like an iron tower. You Miao was very frightened at first, but after glancing at these people, he gradually calmed down. Thank goodness there is no Li Zhifeng.
But on second thought, those who tipped off might not necessarily appear.
The leader of the Hu people ordered, and someone stepped forward to tie You Miao tightly, stuffed a rag in his mouth, and threw it on the carriage with the goods. The Hu people rode on horses and chatted with each other excitedly. Which tribe are these people from. Looking back, I saw that less than ten vehicles had been robbed by the Hu people, and it was expected that many of the previous merchants had also escaped.
That's right, seeing that he was well-dressed, these barbarians must have planned to take him as a hostage and let Da Qiguo send money to redeem them.
After thinking about it, You Miao felt a lot more at ease.
What he was most afraid of at the moment was seeing Li Zhifeng, but this was the end of the matter, and it was useless to think about it. He was the only one who was caught alive in the entire convoy. The Hu people were careless and did not search for his dagger. The dagger was tucked into the boot. At this moment, he shook his right foot slightly. The dagger was still there, heavy.
With his hands cut behind his back, it was not difficult to pull out a dagger and cut the rope to escape.
However, at this moment, the plains are endless, where can you escape if you are freed? I'm afraid that I will be frozen to death on the ice field in less than two hours, and let's see how the situation goes. Judging by the wind direction, You Miao was walking towards the northwest at the moment, and the more he went, the more he went back.
For a while, I was entangled in my heart, thinking over and over again, and when I saw the village in the distance, the gray sky had already dawned, the sun was hidden behind the thick clouds, and snow powder was still floating in the sky and the earth.
It was a village that had been scorched black by fire. At first glance, it could be seen that it was a temporary stronghold occupied by the Hu people after plundering. The snow was covered with blood, and there were abandoned human corpses on both sides of the road.
The Hu Ren lifted You Miao down and threw it into a well-maintained room. You Miao slammed his head against the wooden floor, his eyes were black, and he was wriggling with difficulty. The light in the room was very dim, a few pieces of red charcoal were placed in a copper basin, and there was still coughing in the room.
"Uuuu..." You Miao shoved the cloth in her mouth and wriggled over.
"Who?" A boy's voice sounded from the corner.
"Hmm—" You Miao rolled over and lay on the ground.
After a long while, You Miao's eyes adjusted to the light, and when he looked around, he saw an unfamiliar boy about the same age as himself.
"You were also arrested?" the boy asked in a low voice.
You Miao nodded slowly, the young man turned his back, leaned in front of You Miao with his hands tied behind his back, and tore off the cloth he had stuffed in his mouth.
You Miao let out a long breath.
"Don't talk..." the boy said, "If you say a word, you will be beaten."
The two talked very quietly.
You Miao: "What's your name?"
"Zhao Chao." The boy replied, "What about you? How did you get caught here?"
You Miao looked at him and saw that he was wearing ragged clothes and leather armor, and replied, "My name is You Miao, I followed the caravan down Jiangbei, and was robbed halfway."
Zhao Chao said, "I went out to hunt secretly with my slaves, but I didn't expect to meet this group of people, damn it."
You Miao: "What clan?"
Zhao Chao whispered: "A branch of the Tartars, I guess..."
You Miao's heart moved and asked, "Does it have anything to do with the Quanrong people?"
Zhao Chao seemed a little surprised and said, "No, why are you asking this all of a sudden? The Quanrong people are from the northeast, and the Tatars are from the northwest. They don't even understand the language."
You Miao nodded, his heart dropped, and said, "I want to save you out."
Zhao Chao immediately said: "Don't act rashly, this place is too far from Yanbian, they still have dogs, they will be caught up if they can't run too far."
You Miao snorted and sat up reluctantly. The two teenagers were sitting with their backs against the wall. You Miao couldn't help looking at Zhao Chao and saw that although the teenager was wearing a soldier's leather armor, he didn't have the slightest bit of a soldier's temperament. The armor was stained with a lot of blood, and there seemed to be a sword edge hidden between his eyebrows and eyes.
"I'm asking you." Zhao Chao's words contained an overpowering spirit. Although he was talking in a low voice, the indistinguishable tone made You Miao have to pay attention to him.
"Which caravan did you come with?" Zhao Chao raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice, "A caravan from Youjia at the end of the year?"
"That's right." You Miao nodded hurriedly, Zhao Chao frowned slightly, and said, "The Ministry of Household is in charge of You Deyou's house?!"
You Miao said in shock: "You know him? He is my cousin."
Zhao Chao nodded slowly, looked at You Miao's face in the light of the fire, and said, "You are from Jiangbei, right? Is your name You Miao? Sure enough, it's you..."
You Miao was shocked: "That's right! My name is You Miao. Do you know me?"
Zhao Chao stopped talking, just looked at You Miao, smiled slightly, and nodded.
You Miao didn't expect to meet someone who knew her home in a place like this, and she thought that most of the time she won't suffer.
Zhao Chao added: "When the capital gets the letter, he will definitely send someone to save you, wait patiently, and remember not to be rash and reckless, we must save our lives."
You Miao couldn't help nodding, knowing that the young man in front of him must not be simple, and asked in a low voice, "How about you?"
Zhao Chao said: "You don't know me, my father is just a small official. I went hunting with my friends, but I didn't expect to be caught, so let's not mention it."
You Miao said, "I have a dagger in my boot, shall we cut the rope first?"
Zhao Chao said: "I can't do it now, I have to wait for the opportunity first, don't worry, I will be able to escape."
