"If you dare to touch a hair of my body, then you can only take my body back to report!"
Cheng Wanwan took out the hairpin and put it on her neck.
She was very strong, and blood soon appeared on her neck. A drop of blood fell, and slowly, more and more blood appeared.
The leading cavalryman scolded in a cold voice in Xirong Mandarin: "If you don't have any women when you go back, why are you throwing people here? Get out!"
The cavalrymen with lustful eyes did not dare to say anything, let alone do anything, and quickly retreated.
Cheng Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief.
These people cared about her life, and she made the right bet.
Her hands were still on her neck and she didn't let go.
The leading cavalry dismounted directly and stepped on Zhao Sanniu: "If Mrs. Sui dies, he will die too, so let's put this trick away."
Zhao Sanniu opened his mouth and roared: "Mom, leave me alone, run away as soon as you get the chance, don't take risks for me..."
Before he could finish his words, his jaw was kicked hard enough to dislocate it.
Cheng Wanwan clenched her teeth tightly.
She took a deep breath and threw the hairpin in her hand on the ground: "Okay, I'll go with you."
The leading cavalryman winked at his men, and two cavalrymen touched her from behind. Before Cheng Wanwan could react, they slashed her on the back of her neck. Her vision suddenly went dark and she fainted. .
I don't know how long I was unconscious.
When Cheng Wanwan woke up, she felt like she was shaking in a carriage.
She opened her eyes with difficulty and saw darkness. She wanted to get up and lift the curtain to see what was going on outside. As soon as she moved, a strong wind suddenly hit her from the side and struck her on the back of her neck again. Lost consciousness again.
Her consciousness was always in a hazy state, drowsy and extremely uncomfortable.
Maybe it was one day, maybe three days, maybe even longer, but finally there was no more bumps, and the various sensations in the body slowly returned.
Cheng Wanwan fluttered her eyelashes and opened her eyes a small slit. After making sure there was no one around, she dared to sit up with her body propped up.
She was lying on a couch, which was covered with animal furs and blankets on the floor. This was not a dungeon or just an attic. From this point of view, Xirong Kingdom still valued her.
I just don't know why I caught her.
She got off the couch and almost fainted just as she was about to stand up.
I don't know how many days I haven't eaten, and I don't have any strength in my body.
She hurriedly lay down and was about to buy something from the mall to satisfy her hunger, when footsteps sounded outside the door.
She immediately closed her eyes.
The door was pushed open, and the footsteps seemed to be those of two women. They walked to her bed and seemed to reach out to test her breath.
Immediately afterwards, one person was holding her shoulders, and the other was giving her medicine.
The two talked quietly in Xirong Mandarin.
"Mrs. Sui is still awake, what should I do?"
"The Prime Minister will be here soon. If he sees that Mrs. Sui is still awake, she will definitely lose her temper."
Cheng Wanwan swallowed the medicine.
The prime minister mentioned by these two maids should be the prime minister of Xirong Kingdom, the most powerful person in the court who is less than ten thousand people.
The Prime Minister of Xirong came to see her in person, there must be something extremely important.
She swallowed three mouthfuls of medicine and then slowly opened her eyes.
The two maids were very happy: "Mrs. Sui, would you like something to eat, noodles or porridge?"
They spoke a poor Dayu language, and upon hearing it, you could tell that they had learned it temporarily.
Cheng Wanwan said weakly: "Porridge."
One of the maids went out immediately, and soon came in with a bowl of corn porridge.
She was really hungry, so she took it, blew on the hot air, drank it in three sips, and her body finally regained some strength.
She asked: "Where are the other people who were captured with me?"
She spoke in Xirong Mandarin, and the maid also answered in Xirong: "The slaves only saw Mrs. Sui, and don't know about the others..."
Judging by the confused looks on their faces, you knew they were indeed unaware.
Cheng Wanwan closed her eyes and quickly sorted out the whole thing in her mind...
After he was almost clear, he heard the maid's voice saluting: "I've seen the prime minister."
She opened her eyes and saw a man in his forties or fifties wearing official uniform walking in from the door.
Xirong country does not pay attention to the difference between men and women. The man sat down directly in front of her bed, a pair of eagle eyes fell on her body, looking up and down.
Cheng Wanwan didn't say anything, just lying quietly and looking at him.
"Mrs. Sui is indeed a hero among women." The Prime Minister said, "I speak Xirong dialect. Mrs. Sui should be able to understand it, right?"
"Of course I understand." Cheng Wanwan looked indifferent, "I just don't understand why the Xirong Kingdom wants to arrest so many people from the Dayu Kingdom. In our convoy, there are the princes of the Dayu Kingdom and many humerus ministers. There are also good generals. This move by the Xirong Kingdom tramples on the bottom line of our country, Dayu. Does it want to repeat the war twenty years ago?"
Twenty years ago, the two countries fought a war, and both sides suffered heavy losses. Xirong had a slight victory, and finally the marriage of Princess Taiping ended the years of war.
The Prime Minister said: "Mrs. Sui and her party just left Assab and disappeared in the territory of the Yue clan. Even if Dayu Kingdom wants to pursue it, they can't be traced to Xirong Kingdom, right?"
Cheng Wanwan narrowed his eyes.
In other words, the Xirong Kingdom did not want to fight. After arresting so many of them, they were able to erase all traces. It was obvious that they had planned it for a long time.
She asked slowly: "Before the Prime Minister explains his purpose, I want to know the news about other people."
"There were three hundred and eighty-nine people in the convoy. During the battle between the Yue clan, two hundred and twenty people died." The Prime Minister touched his beard and said, "The others who are not dead can still survive as long as they don't get sick. Come on, is Mrs. Sui satisfied with this answer?"
Cheng Wanwan felt a pain in her heart.
Those guards were all children about the same age as San Niu, and more than two hundred people died...
"As long as Mrs. Sui cooperates well, these people will be unscathed." The Prime Minister said straight to the point, "As early as three or four years ago, I, Xirong Kingdom, had heard of Mrs. Sui's name, because Mrs. Sui asked the people who had not enough to eat to fill the gap. Filling the stomach and giving warm clothes to the cold people, these two things are enough to make everyone in Xirong admire me."
Cheng Wanwan immediately understood the purpose of Xirong Kingdom.
Xirong is located in the northwest, and the land is barren. Although food can be grown, the yield per mu is extremely low. Cotton and the like can be grown, but there is no technology.
The Xirong Kingdom has a strong military, but they have to worry about food every year. This is why they rob the Yue clan's food year after year...
Although looting is quick, it would be better if you can grow it yourself.
"As long as Mrs. Sui can make our land in Xirong grow food and teach our people in Xirong how to grow mulberry, linen and cotton, I, Xirong, will give Mrs. Sui the supreme status." The Prime Minister cupped his hands and said, "Mrs. Sui's son can also Become a king and general in my Xirong, and become the prosperous home of my Xirong."
Cheng Wanwan raised his eyes: "The Prime Minister should know that I am now considered a newly promoted powerful person in Dayu Kingdom. Your promise cannot make me willing to work for Xirong."
The Prime Minister couldn't help but be overjoyed. He was not afraid of the other party's demands, but was afraid that the other party would not be able to get enough of him.
He immediately said: "As long as Mrs. Sui can become a member of my Xirong court, no matter what Mrs. Sui's request is, I, the king of Xirong, will agree."
Cheng Wanwan pretended to think in distress for a while: "I need to think about it for a few days."
