On the beacon tower, Wen Qingzhu saw two scarecrows standing behind the cauldron.
The shadow was taken care of and reflected on the stone wall.
Around the changing ground, there were already three or five wine jars on the ground, all of which were empty.
Except for the veterans, there was no one else.
Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but hold his forehead. This team was really difficult to lead.
Lei Yan has not been here long, but he has also come to the beacon tower for inspection, and everything was fine before.
Now during the midnight raid, I actually encountered someone who was AWOL!
He was very angry, but the veteran in front of him was obviously very old, the old man here.
Generally, most of the soldiers stationed at the border are before the age of forty. Those who can be promoted have been promoted, and those who cannot be promoted will always be stationed at the border.
This was the case with the veteran in front of him. Lei Yan wanted to scold him, but he couldn't.
Especially when he saw the white hair on the temples of the veteran, the way he bent over and lowered his head, trembling, he felt unbearable.
"Brother Yan, you first guard the beacon tower for him, and I'll talk to him."
Wen Qingzhu went to the stone house, moved two ponies out, took an iron pot, filled a pot of water in the bucket, and hung it on the flame of the cauldron to burn.
When hanging it up, Wen Qingzhu threw in two handfuls of ginger slices and tangerine peel.
She just waited for the water to boil, then turned around and poured a bowl of hot ginger slices and tangerine peel. She handed it to the veteran: "Uncle, drink some to sober up and warm your stomach."
The old soldier accepted it with sincerity, still a little scared in his heart: "Sir, don't you punish the little ones?"
"There is no need for punishment. It's fine as long as nothing happens. You are old and have been stationed at the border for Daqi for most of your life. This small mistake is nothing."
Wen Qingzhu poured a bowl for Lei Yan. He didn't want it at first, but Lei Yan insisted on letting him drink it, so Lei Yan had no choice but to take it and drink it in one gulp.
Before he could swallow it completely, his face twisted.
As soon as he finished drinking, he opened his mouth wide, fanned it with his hands, and asked Wen Qingzhu: "What is this! Why does it taste so weird!"
"Don't worry! I've added some good stuff for you! Drink it first, and you'll know the benefits of this stuff later!" Wen Qingzhu deliberately let it slip.
Lei Yan had no choice but to continue to guard.
The veteran didn't drink yet. He looked at his bowl and finally drank it in one gulp.
After finishing the drink, the veteran's eyes became wet and he choked with sobs for a long time without speaking.
Wen Qingzhu didn't say anything, just sat like this, and asked the veteran at the same time: "There are at least two people on duty at the gate here. Normally, four people come in shifts. Why are you the only one here now?"
Hearing this question, the veteran felt sour in his heart. He looked up at the starry sky and said, "As early as ten years ago, there were still four people here. But then General Lu was suppressed. Not only was his salary deducted, but his family's daily life felt... They are all inferior to General Zhao’s side, no, there are fewer people.”
"But you two should have something to say. General Lu shouldn't treat you so harshly, right?" Wen Qingzhu asked his doubts.
The veteran nodded: "That's natural. I have been stationed with a soldier who just came in. He was out of temper and said he was going to take a bath in the pond. He hasn't been back for a while."
"What!" Wen Qingzhu suddenly stood up and turned to look towards the pond.
But at a glance, I saw a dark figure squatting by the pond, squatting and fishing for something.
The veteran's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw that the man's figure and movements were very similar, and immediately shouted: "Hun thief!"
The black figure trembled, looked back quickly, and immediately turned around and ran away without hesitation.
The veteran turned to blow the horn, but Wen Qingzhu reached out to stop him and said, "Just light up the smoke!"
"Isn't that going to start a war?" The veteran was shocked. He blew the horn just to ask for support, but he lit the smoke to prepare for war. Without the general's order, he couldn't do it easily.
Wen Qingzhu came out with Fu Lie's military order. When the veteran saw it, he stopped talking nonsense and turned around to get the fodder and put it into the cauldron.
Soon, the smoke rose, and people kept responding.
The long city wall of Yongheguan was suddenly filled with smoke, drums and thunder were soon beating, and the army was reorganizing overnight.
The Hun soldiers, who were hundreds of miles away, heard the movement at Yonghe Pass, and the news was immediately sent to the headquarters of the three Hun princes.
The second prince was lying drunk on the beauty's knees. When he heard the news, he threw the beauty away, put on his armor, picked up his scimitar and set off immediately.
The sixth prince was sitting in a dark tent, without lighting a lamp, and was turning the abacus.
After hearing the report from his subordinates, he looked slightly surprised, why so fast
As for the Fourth Prince, those who came to report did not dare to go in.
The tent was brightly lit, and from time to time a woman's scream came out: "I'm going to kill you! Kill you! How dare you take off my clothes!"
The person who reported the news was also one of the Fourth Prince's confidants.
He knew very well that the fourth prince was a man who had never been a womanizer, but since he captured a hostage from Daqi, his existing understanding had been broken again and again.
There is really a lot of movement inside now. The Huns are very open-minded. It is rare for the fourth prince to be willing to get close to a woman, even if it is with force, they are very happy.
It's just that the situation is special now. Should he go in
At this moment, Guita lifted the curtain and came out, asking the visitor: "What's going on?"
When the person who sent the message saw the scratches on the fourth prince's face, his eyes widened in horror and he was stunned.
Jieta squinted his eyes slightly, looking unhappy.
The reporter quickly lowered his head and said quickly: "Yonghe Pass has lit up the smoke, and the Qi soldiers and horses are already in the process of rectification."
Zita frowned and waved his hand to let him go down.
The reporter hurriedly left, and not far away, he saw the fourth prince actually lifting the curtain and going in!
When he arrived in front of the bed, Zita looked at Lei Shuo who was tied into a rice dumpling, with only her inner clothes left. Under the rope binding, her exquisite figure was highlighted.
As he looked at it, Jieta always felt that something was wrong. Why was this method of tying up people so strange
Lei Shuo's hair was disheveled, he glared angrily, and shouted at Zhita: "I'm telling you! Wait until you fall into my hands! Look at my aunt, I have to skin you! How dare you do this to me!"
Lei Shuo couldn't help but be angry. He originally thought that Zita wanted to take advantage of him, but Lei Shuo was half-hearted and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to fight back.
But she didn't expect that Zita would actually tie her up, and tie her up so tightly that she couldn't move at all!
Lei Shuo was extremely angry, but at the same time he was also a little angry!
It's not that the Huns are all barbarians. Women are just objects in their eyes. Why is this fourth prince so different from them!
Lei Shuo felt like crying but had no tears in his heart.
When she was angry and regretful, Zita said calmly in Chinese dialect: "Your brother is coming to save you."
"Brother!" Lei Shuo was startled, feeling very strange.
Lei Yan must have come back to save her, but the last time she was briefly stimulated by Jieta, she fell into a wheel battle.
This incident made Lei Shuo feel that Lei Yan was brave enough, but his IQ was not enough.
If someone really wanted to save her, Lei Shuo felt that only Wen Qingzhu could save her.
From observing Jieta for so many days, Lei Shuo learned that he was a person who didn't like to lie.
Especially for a prisoner like her.
Lei Shuo's silence made Jieta notice something strange. He asked again: "Why are you reacting differently from last time?"
"I was excited last time, but what's the use?" Lei Shuo's tone was calm, without hope or disappointment.
This made Jieta even more vigilant. Every time Lei Shuo wanted to cause something, she would definitely make some move.
But this time she didn't react at all, as if she was really waiting quietly for Da Qi to rescue him.
"Do you think your brother can really save you this time?" Zita didn't know why, but he asked this question out of nowhere.
Lei Shuo could feel that Zhita was a person who did not show his emotions easily. This time she actually felt Zhita's curiosity.
She squinted and said, "Let me go and I'll tell you."
Zita turned around and left without thinking. Lei Shuo quickly shouted: "Wait! Why don't you bargain?"
After walking out of the tent, Gita thought of what happened last time and ordered his subordinates: "No one is allowed in here except me and my uncle!"
"Yes!" The subordinate nodded quickly in agreement.
When Zita walked away, there was a girl in red holding a whip in her hand and staring fiercely at the tent where Lei Shuo was.
Thinking of the news from her subordinates, the girl finally couldn't bear it anymore and walked out.
When she reached the tent, she was immediately stopped.
"Lord Attia, the fourth prince has ordered that no one can enter!" The guard stood in front of her.
The girl whipped over and hit the guard: "How dare you stop me! Do you know who my father is!"
"Master Attia, please don't embarrass me!" The guard endured the pain but still did not dare to fight back.
Seeing him like this, Attia knew that this must be Gita's order!
Thinking of the woman in the tent, the anger in her heart rose more and more, and she completely forgot her father's instructions.
"Come here! Capture them!" Attia couldn't bear it anymore. In the entire Xiongnu grassland, she was the most noble woman, the future Huns king's family!
But Geeta dared to ignore her!
Soon, ten Hun warriors appeared and killed the people in the tower.
Attiya ordered his people to guard outside and walked in quickly.
Lei Shuo, who was cursing secretly, heard the footsteps and thought it was a tower coming. He quickly put on a smile and shouted: "Four kings... sons."
Lei Shuo's voice suddenly softened when he saw the person coming, and he felt extremely vigilant.
She had seen the woman in front of her several times.
She is a fierce suitor of Geta and the niece of the previous Yan clan. According to normal circumstances, she was originally going to marry the eldest prince and become the next Yan clan.
But after the eldest prince died, she became the prey of the second prince, who strongly wanted to marry her so that her grandfather's tribe could be used by him.
It's a pity that the eldest prince died, and there was still a sixth prince. The Asang tribe, the mother clan of the Yan clan, lost the eldest prince and had to turn to support the sixth prince.
But Attiya has not married the sixth prince for a long time, and even boldly pursued the fourth prince.
It's a pity that neither Jieta nor King Zuoxian likes the people of the Asan tribe, and Attiya is a person they avoid.
But Attiya actually still did this. The more Attiya ignored him, the hotter Attiya's heart became.
I even tried to force the tower several times, but luckily King Zuo Xian's people arrived in time.
Regarding this kind of thing, Lei Shuo admired Attiya from the bottom of his heart.
If nothing else, just two words, cheating!
But now Lei Shuo, what he really has to worry about is himself.
As much as Attiya liked Geta, he now wanted to hate her even more.
Thinking of this, Lei Shuo felt that he was wronged and angry.
It was obvious that Zita was just treating her as a hostage and a prisoner, but in the eyes of others, she was actually his woman!
"Are you Lei Shuo?" Attia asked her in broken Chinese dialect.
Lei Shuo was stunned for a moment, looked at Atiya with squinted eyes, and replied in Hun dialect: "Back to Princess Atiya, I am Lei Shuo."
"You bitch!" Atia could hold back her anger at first, but when she heard that Lei Shuo could actually speak Hun dialect, she suddenly became furious.
The only person Lei Shuo could see was Zhita. The person who taught her the Xiongnu language must be Zhita!
Is it possible that Zita still wants to marry this woman
Lei Shuo, who had been whipped inexplicably, was in terrible pain, but she had to endure it and would never give in in front of the Hun woman.
