After coming out of the cell, Bai Quan stood there for a moment, let out a long sigh with some emotion, and then disappeared. Time was urgent and there was no time for him to sigh here.
Although the Northern Yi people, whether they were Uighurs, Khitans or Xi tribes, had more or less Han slaves, the Tang Dynasty had never thought of rescuing these people. On the contrary, in order to avoid war with these nomadic peoples who were getting stronger, the Tang Dynasty would even use hard or soft means to force these northern barbarians to submit themselves as ministers, and even send princesses to marry, although they were usually from the ministers' families. One person was selected and given the title of princess, but this was still considered shameless by many people. Because in their eyes, these nomads were just a group of rude tribes, without any brains and not very strong. If they took the initiative to make a marriage, they would lose the face of the Tang Dynasty.
But even though the ministers and scholars are shameless, the common people are very happy to see this situation, because getting married means peace, and peace means not fighting. For the common people, as long as there is no war, whoever gets married will be lost. They don't care about face.
However, on the surface, these northern barbarians obeyed the Tang Dynasty and accepted the title and salary of the Tang Dynasty. But in fact, they looked down on the Tang Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts, and would go south to plunder from time to time. If the impact is small, the Tang Dynasty will turn a blind eye. If the trouble becomes serious, it will send Jiedu envoys to lead the army to encircle and suppress them. But usually by the time the army arrives, these northern barbarians have already withdrawn to the grassland, and then The two sides would then settle the matter, and the captured Han slaves would not think of rescuing them. It is precisely for this reason that the Han people have become goods, fat sheep, and tools for their reproduction in the eyes of these northern Yi. As for the Tang Dynasty? The Tang Dynasty would not really annihilate them, which was inconsistent with the name of the country that the Tang Dynasty claimed to be a benevolent and righteous country. Therefore, although the northern barbarians were becoming a serious thorn in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty could not eradicate them, and it has always been a source of trouble. Many border generals were quite depressed.
However, there are occasional exceptions. If one of these northern barbarians is strong enough to threaten the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, they will not sit idly by.
Such as Turks, Khitans, Xi, and Nanzhao, as long as they grow to a certain level, they will still be suppressed by the army, but if they remain at a certain height, as long as they do not cross that threshold, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will have nothing ideas, and acquiesce in their actions. After figuring out this rule, these nomadic peoples also understood and did not go too far. However, over time, more than tens of thousands of Han slaves were plundered from the north, which indirectly caused these northern barbarians to gradually sit down. big.
In recent years, the momentum of Khitan has been particularly obvious. Their great chief Li Huaixiu has worked hard to govern in recent years. All thirty-six tribes of Khitan have surrendered to him. With rapid development, they are now full of cattle and sheep, and have hundreds of thousands of armored men. They have become so powerful. It could threaten the Tang Dynasty, so Tang Xuanzong Li Longji thought of severely suppressing this wild wolf lurking around him, and mobilized most of the cavalry from the Central Plains on the pretext of conquering the Khitan chief Huaixin Wang Li Yanchong. , preparing them to defeat these two tribes in one battle.
Having said that, when he came back to Baiquan, he had already investigated in advance. Because of its importance, the entire Xicang garrison was not allowed to have any unrelated outsiders. Therefore, only the camp of the garrison leader Ba Yemi could have some Han people. Slaves, this has always made his subordinates very dissatisfied, but the number is not large, there are only about twenty women, and no men, and because of his abuse in the past few days, there are only about ten left. , this is advantageous to Bai Quan, he doesn't need to make any more moves.
Because Ye Qingcheng was born as a Han, he and the mortals in Huanchenyu also identified themselves as Han, and had an inexplicable sense of belonging. Psychologically, he was actually unwilling to kill these Han slaves with his own hands. When he thought about it, Their tragic experience could not help but make him feel a little pity in his heart. He is different from Huan Chenyu who is cold and ruthless. Although he is an ice demon wolf and uses ice as his original energy, his heart is warm and there is goodness in his heart. But if he didn't kill these slaves, they would suffer even more afterwards. He had no choice but to deal with them with his own hands, so he had to dye his hands red.
Standing outside the tent, he sighed softly, and entered the side tent in a flash. This was the place where the Han female slaves of Banye Mi slept. It was a side tent, the space was small, and the conditions were very poor, unlike that of Banye Mi. The main tent where Mi slept was not at the same level at all, because it was already late at night, and these women were all asleep, unaware of the approaching danger.
Looking at these women who were dressed in simple and even tattered clothes, with poor faces and scars on their bodies, Bai Quan's eyes flashed with a trace of unbearability. He even thought that if Xiaoyu saw it here, or knew about his What would she think of what she had done? But in the end, his reason prevailed over his emotions. It was good for them to kill them. If they knew about it underground in the future, I'm afraid they would forgive him.
I saw Huan Chenyu touching his waist, and dozens of silver needles suddenly appeared in his hand. These were the set of hidden weapons that Ye Qingcheng had smelted in a blacksmith shop after he smelted a piece of silver ore and asked the blacksmith to create it. , there are a lot of them and they are easy to carry, but because of their light weight, the range is not far, and they are completely incomparable with flying knives, but it is enough at this distance, and he doesn't want to damage their remains too much. I want to leave a whole body for them.
With a wave of his hand, more than ten silver needles shot out immediately. These ten women were killed instantly in their sleep, without even a trace of blood leaking out. This was because he used silver needles, otherwise How could he be willing to use the limited number of silver needles.
After finishing the matter, he once again took a deep look at these troubled women, saluted them, and then quickly walked out of the side tent and came to the main tent on the side. Naturally, he would not go in through the main entrance. There are many of Batanyimi's soldiers at the door, but unlike those sentries, they will not relax under Batanyimi's strict military regulations.
He was not very sure that he could kill so many guards at the same time without alerting Ba Yeya in the tent. Although he would kill them sooner or later, if he killed them too early and alerted all the Khitan people in the camp, then those responsible for setting fire would The Tang army would be in danger. To be on the safe side, he had to find another way to sneak into the main account.
