The old woman had already woken up the next night. After Tang Ping made sure that her fever had subsided, he had already pulled her back from the Palace of Hell.
However, given her age and current physical condition, even if she is rescued, she probably won't have much time left.
"Auntie wants you to come over!" Gu Xiaotang said to Tang Ping.
Although he didn't know what the old woman was going to say, respecting the elderly and caring for the young had always been Tang Ping's good virtue. He nodded to Lao Cui and the others and walked over.
"Mr. Tang, please sit down!"
Tang Ping sat down as instructed.
"Thank you very much this time, Mr. Tang."
"Need not!"
Tang Ping didn't know why the other party called him here.
"Mr. Tang must be a man of great influence in the Tang Dynasty, right?"
"You are mistaken. I am a... shop owner outside Chang'an City."
"Haha!" The old woman laughed twice and did not dwell on this issue, but asked: "Are you going to take Xiaotang to the Turks?"
"Yes!" There was nothing to deny. Tang Ping nodded and admitted.
"Then if you go to Baidao, I hope you can help me bury it there!" The old woman took out a piece of jade from behind her.
"Baidao?" Tang Ping had studied the maps of this era and modern Turks for a long time during this period, and knew that the place she was talking about was in the northwest of modern Hohhot.
"Is that where your tribe lives?"
"Well, that's where Xiaotang's father grew up. In fact, I'm from the Tang Dynasty, from the Gu family in Kuaiji."
Tang Ping nodded, saying that the old woman didn't look like a Turk, and Gu Xiaotang looked like a mixed race, so it turned out that she was really from the Tang Dynasty.
"Back then, I followed my father to the Turks for business and was intercepted by horse thieves. It was Xiaotang's father who rescued me, and I have stayed there ever since."
"Have you never thought of returning to Datang?"
"Why do you want to go back?" The old woman smiled: "Perhaps in your opinion, the Turks are an enemy country, and they have to go south to plunder every autumn and winter."
"But in my opinion, that is my home, the people I love, and my children are all there! Moreover, our tribe has always been self-sufficient, and I still have some talent for business. We have never harmed the Tang people. On the contrary, When people from the Tang Dynasty visit our tribe, we warmly welcome them."
"Cough cough cough!" After saying this, she coughed lightly, took a few sips of the water Tang Ping handed her: "Although I haven't returned to Datang for many years, but I know that you can take it out There are many things that even the Tang Dynasty may not have."
"Haha!" Tang Ping laughed dryly. He had used his identity as a wizard to amuse Gu Xiaotang in the past two days, but the old woman's eyes clearly showed that he was not that simple.
"Okay, I asked you to come in just to see you, what kind of person you are, and to see if you will kill people and cause harm after you take Xiaotang back to Turks to achieve your goal. To her."
Tang Ping shrugged: "I can guarantee that as long as she doesn't do anything to harm me or the people around me, I will definitely keep her safe."
"I believe you!" The old woman grinned: "If I thought you were a threat, even if I do now, you would be dead."
Tang Ping was startled and shrank back unconsciously.
"Don't worry, since I said it, I will definitely not harm you again." The old woman still looked kind, as if she was not the one who just said she wanted to kill Tang Ping.
Tang Ping was secretly shocked. He had rescued this person. Of course he knew the old woman's physical condition, but he had no doubt about what the old woman said just now.
Tang Ping, who was originally here to chat, was already covered with sweat! It can only be said that in this era, no one can underestimate it.
"Okay, Mr. Tang, please keep this jade. If you get to Baidao, where there is a lake called Usutu Lake, help me bury it by the lake."
Tang Ping picked up the jade and looked at it. It was an ordinary Tang Dynasty style, but there was nothing special about it.
He carefully put Yujue into the compartment of his backpack and agreed.
"Hey..." The old woman sighed longly: "Xiaotang will ask Mr. Tang from now on. Please help me call her in now."
Tang Ping nodded, returned to Lao Cui and the others, and said to Xiang Long, "Let her go."
Then he said to Gu Xiaotang: "Tudou... no, Gu Xiaotang, your mother asked you to come over."
I don’t know what the old woman said to her, but her eyes were red when she came over again.
Then she called all the Turks in the camp.
"Huoba Quy Nhon, after I leave, this place will be left to you."
"No, princess, Tang Ren is cunning, I want to follow you."
"Nonsense, if you follow me, what will they do? Are they all going to starve to death in the mountains and feed the wealthy tigers and leopards?"
"But..." Huoba Guiren pointed at himself, and the Turkic women and children behind him started giggling. Anyway, it was because he felt that if he wanted to leave, he wanted to go back to the Turks together.
"Don't worry, I won't have to wait too long, I will come to pick you up. By then we will have my pasture again, and these children can raise our own cattle and sheep on it."
"We are the people of the Eagle. This mountain does not belong to us. We always want to return to our grassland."
"Yes, Huo Ba Guiren understands!" Huo Ba Guiren also knew that it was impossible for so many people to follow Gu Xiaotang out, and he was the only and highest combat power here. If he followed, I'm afraid these women and children would be trapped in this mountain. Lin soon couldn't survive.
Tang Ping signaled to Lei Zi, who reluctantly took the steel knife from his body and threw it towards Huo Ba Gui Nen.
"Your Master Lei lent this to you. Be careful not to damage it. Remember to return it to me when I come back next time!"
Several people had a spar with Huo Ba Guiren when they had nothing to do during the day. Except for Xiang Long, who was able to fight back and forth with him, the others were defeated.
Of course, that was with bare hands. If they were using weapons, it would be hard to say if they were relying on steel knives like this.
Huoba Quyen took the steel knife from Lei Zi and chatted.
Xiang Long said with a smile: "He said thank you, but next time we meet, he will give you a beating. Also, if we don't take good care of his princess, then even if we don't take care of him, he won't Let it go.”
"Bah!" Lei Zi spat and said harshly: "I am not fully recovered today. When I come back next time when I am recovered, I will definitely beat him to the point of losing his teeth."
After everything was arranged, Gu Xiaotang came to Tang Ping's side.
"Go to bed early today. Early tomorrow morning, I will take you out of Huoshan. I know there is a road that can lead directly to Fenyang."
