Chapter 81 Female Warrior

When Li Youde was attacked, he asked the Jinyiwei people to ride a horse to find Lang Yu first, and asked Lang Yu to send someone out to find someone as soon as possible, saying that he wanted to arrest all the people who attacked him. Li Youde didn't want to talk about Chen Hui's identity for the time being, but when he returned to Jianbei, Qi Shengwen saw that Chen Hui was gone by him, so he naturally understood that he wanted to rescue Chen Hui.

Li Youde left Jianbei very resolutely and quickly. Although he was not satisfied when he came back, he was still hesitant. After all, he had encountered something that was enough to make him frightened. But before Chen Huiniang was rescued, he was reluctant to go back to Fan Yang. It would be better for those Xi tribe barbarians not to touch Huiniang with one finger, otherwise he would definitely let them go!

“It’s bad now.”

Qi Shengwen privately told Chu Denggao that he did not feel much guilt for attracting Chen Hui to Fan Yang. The facts proved that she did a good job. As long as Eunuch Li did not go against them and did not do anything, even if she was not so fast, she would be at least foolproof. However, as the saying goes, man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Who knew that this kind of thing happened, and Miss Chen became the reason for Eunuch Li's nonsense.

Thinking of what Miss Chen might suffer in the hands of the Xi clan, Qi Shengwen felt a little guilty at that moment. After all, Miss Chen was found by him, and if he really suffered some harm, he would be sad. In fact, he was already very guilty now. He only said how important Miss Chen’s influence on Eunuch Li was, but he never cared about what kind of existence Eunuch Li was in Miss Chen’s heart? He didn’t want to care at that time, it had nothing to do with his purpose after all. Now, she went as he said and did so well, and he suddenly felt a little caring for the woman. Other women were in her situation, and maybe they had collapsed long ago and no one could do better than her.

"Shengwen, what are you going to do?" Chu Denggao asked. Naturally, his impression of Chen Hui was not as deep as Qi Shengwen who had been in contact with many times. His worries at this moment could almost be said to be because he was afraid that Li Youde would do something because of this, rather than because he was worried about Chen Hui himself.

"We can only send people to the Xi tribe to investigate the situation first." Qi Shengwen said that it is impossible to send people to release horses like Eunuch Li said, but sending individuals to infiltrate may have a chance.

"Send someone?" Chu Denggao nodded, "Then this candidate is also a difficult problem."

When Li Youde saw Lang Yu, the first thing he proposed was to directly send a large army to attack the Xi tribe camp and rescue everyone. Lang Yu naturally could not agree, but he was not the kind of person who likes to fight head-on, and the reasons he gave were also very acceptable to Li Youde. Such a big fanfare might make the Xi tribe kill everyone, so it would be better to send someone to find out the truth first.

What Li Youde wants is that Chen Hui is safe and sound, and he agreed after a moment of thinking. On the issue of candidates, he had the final say - the person he was looking for was Gu Tianhe. Li Youde knew who knew Chen Hui was and could recognize her as soon as he saw her men's appearance. Gu Tianhe had seen her before, but now she has probably seen her again after coming to the border. He was the one who knew her true identity and knew her. It would be the best place to find her.

When Li Youde called Gu Tianhe to give orders, he was the only one of them. In order to successfully rescue Chen Hui, Li Youde even promised Gu Tianhe a hundred taels of gold. He was the only one who went to this task, and Gu Tianhe did not say anything and made a little preparation and left Jianbei.

On the other hand, after more than an hour of rushing head downward, Chen Hui turned into a sack-like lying on the horse's back. After more than an hour of continuous stumble, she arrived at a camp in a valley.

When she got down to the ground, Chen Hui couldn't stand firm and sat down. She had a headache, stomachache, and chest pain, and she felt like she was a Barbie doll, the kind that was about to fall apart.

Seeing that other people who were arrested were thrown into one place, Chen Hui couldn't help but look up at the woman who was serving the horse, and asked softly: "I wonder what you want to deal with us?"

"Interrogation." The woman stroked the horse lovingly and replied casually.

"Then... can you interrogate me personally and don't give me to others?" Chen Hui asked. From the man named Borwu, she could see that this heroic female warrior was probably of a low status among the Xi tribe, and she should have the right to make such a decision.

The woman finally turned around, squatted down in front of Chen Hui with wide openness, looked at her in a confused look and smiled, "Scared?"

"Yes!" Chen Hui nodded quickly.

The woman said, "My name is Yatai."

"Hello, Lord Yatai!" Chen Hui was stunned and said with a smile in a pleasing smile.

Seeing this, Yatai laughed: "You Daliang man, you look pretty good when you smile."

She stood up and said, "Come with me."

She handed the reins of a man and walked in one direction. Chen Hui immediately stood up and hurriedly followed with her legs. Yatai was tall and took a big step. Chen Hui had to trot to keep up with her. On the way, almost everyone who saw Yatai would salute her, and Yatai just glanced slightly and said hello. Those people looked at Chen Hui very badly, and she had to lower her head and just pursue Yatai all the way, so as not to be beaten to death by those men with bad eyes.

The two entered a tent one by one, and Yatai sat casually on a short camp bed, raised his chin and said, "Sit there."

Chen Hui was busy sitting in the stool in a regular manner.

"Tell me, what's your name? How could you be in the army?" Yatai said.

Chen Hui poured out all the words he had already thought about: "My Lord Yatai, my name is Chen Huiniang, is it... I was forced into the army by those masters. I... I was the daughter of a businessman. I pity my family has no power and no power, and I compromised it just to make my family safe..."

She touched her eyes and started crying.

"The businessman's daughter..." Yatai sucked Chen Hui's statement and said, "Then how much do you know about their military information?"

Chen Hui didn't hear Yatai comforting her, a "weak woman", so she stopped crying automatically, but said in a nasal voice: "Go back to Yatai, I will not be allowed to touch those on weekdays. I... I really don't know anything!"

"I really don't know anything?" Yatai said, "If someone else comes to ask, I won't be just like me."

"Really Lord Yatai, I swear to God, I really don't know anything!" Chen Hui said hurriedly.

Yatai stared at Chen Hui for a long time before saying, "Do you know how to do business?"

"...what?" Chen Hui didn't know how the topic turned here, and she looked weird.

"Didn't you say you are the daughter of a businessman? Then can you do business?"

Chen Hui only hesitated for a moment and nodded, "You know a little." Although she didn't know why Yatai asked this, it was obvious that the other party had a demand. Although she was not a businessman and had never learned to do business, she could still talk nonsense about supply and demand. If the other party asked further, she would definitely be fooled by adapting a few modern examples.

Yatai smiled and said, "Do you know why we fought Jianbei City?"

Chen Hui was stunned and suddenly understood. She remembered that many times in history, the grassland people went south because of lack of resources, especially fabrics and ironware, which they could not produce. But many times, the southern empires were proud of their status and were unhappy to do business with them. They could not exchange the materials they needed and could not survive, so they naturally had to fight.

But she suddenly remembered that she had heard Li Youde say before that it was because the Xi tribe's people were arrested and Daliang refused to release others, which led to the unexpected serious consequences of the Xi tribe's attack.

"I don't know." Chen Hui was not so stupid that she asked her confusion when she said she didn't know anything. She actually knew it, but she shook her head with a confused look on her face.

"You Daliang people were unreasonable first." Yatai was not surprised that Chen Hui was unaware of the situation. She curled her lips and said with some dissatisfaction, "We are just planning to exchange things with you, but your official insists on paying some passes. I have never heard of any taxes to pay when walking. If we don't pay, they will detain our people."

That's what you haven't heard of modern tolls...

Chen Hui didn't know whether the "passing tax" was the name of the court or the county magistrate of Jianbei who made money by himself, but in her opinion, this was a bloody case caused by steamed buns.

"This passerby tax... some places do have to pay taxes..." Chen Hui looked at Yatai carefully and found that she still knew what taxes were - as for whether she understood or not, agreeing or not was another matter.

"Where is Jianbei City? I haven't heard of it before." Yatai asked the key point.

"I don't know either, I probably have to ask those officials." Chen Hui said.

Yatai held his chin and said indifferently: "That's it. So you understand what I mean?"

"Does Lord Yatai want me to stay and help you do business?" Chen Hui was unwilling to pretend to be stupid at this time. Only when she is smart enough can she be suitable to be a businessman, and only when she is suitable to be a businessman can she be useful to them and ensure her safety!

"Yes." Yatai smiled admiringly, "If you agree, I will keep you safe."

"This is a great thing, why would I not respond?" Chen Hui was excited, but soon hesitated again, "It's just that this is a war? You can't do business like this..."

"I won't fight for another two days." Yatai said lightly, "Jianbei City is too strong and cannot be beaten. If you fight for a few more days, maybe Jianbei City will make peace, so I won't fight."

Yatai said it easily, but Chen Hui was frightened. Yatai seemed to have a much higher status in the Xi tribe than she thought. If she said she would not fight, she would not fight...

She really hoped that she would have a phone call at this time, so she quickly told Li Youde to send someone to negotiate and exchange her back soon - there are so many businessmen who can do business, and she is not bad! What's more, she is a fake and shoddy product!

"What if Jianbei City doesn't come to seek peace?" Chen Hui asked.

"Then it's trouble." Yatai thought for a while and said with a smile, "I can only continue fighting. Although Jianbei City is strong, there is no way, it's just a price to pay."

"What method?" Chen Hui tried to make her tone look curious rather than the purpose of inquiry.

Yatai glanced at her and said, "Of course I can't tell you this. You can do it if you want to know. After I tell you, I will kill you."

Chen Hui shook her head hurriedly: "I, I don't want to know!" She is not a scientist who is eager for the ultimate mystery of the universe and is willing to be destroyed after listening. In order to survive, she is happy to be a foolish and sweet person!

Yatai smiled again, probably satisfied with Chen Hui's reaction.

"How many people are like you in the Daliang army?" Yatai asked again.

Chen Hui hesitated for a while before saying, "I don't know either." The fewer lies she told, the better.

Yatai said in surprise: "Have you seen anyone else?"

"I haven't seen it before." Chen Hui shook her head.

"Can you deal with it alone? I can't tell it." Yatai looked up and down at Chen Hui, with a somewhat mysterious expression.

"...No, I'm the only one serving." Chen Hui's face turned red by Yatai's naked eyes, and she said in a hurry.

"Oh, no wonder." Yatai's smile was a little ambiguous, "Then what are your men's outfits?"

"It was the master who asked me to change it to cover up..." Chen Hui hurriedly said, "He said that Jianbei's situation is changing rapidly now, and it is too dangerous there..." She skipped this paragraph vaguely, "I was captured by Lord Yatai there."

"That man is quite affectionate to you." Yatai said, and stood up and said, "You sit down first, I'll go out and ask about the other people's interrogation."

Chen Hui nodded obediently. She knew that Yatai was going to ask others for evidence of what she said. If Yatai found out that she was lying, she might die. Although this beautiful female warrior was gentle, Chen Hui could see that she was not a rude person. However, Chen Hui was not worried that she would be in trouble. She had seen it before. Those arrested were soldiers, and none of them were brought by Li Youde. They didn't recognize her at all. Yatai went to ask about the testimony they received, either had nothing to do with her or would never contradict what she said.

Chen Hui sat nervously for a while, and the curtain of the tent suddenly opened. She hurriedly looked at the person coming, but the man who came in was a man.

She was startled, hurriedly got up and retreated, looking at him with a vigilant look on her face.

The man looked at Chen Hui in confusion, frowned and said something, but unfortunately Chen Hui couldn't understand.

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Chen Hui said.

He blinked and said in Daliang's words: "Where is Princess Yatai?"

"She's out and will come back later." Chen Hui replied. Princess? Yatai is the daughter of the leader of the Xi tribe. This man said Daliang very well, and she should have heard it right.

"Oh." The man walked straight in and sat on the bed, looking at Chen Hui boredly.

Chen Hui was uncomfortable with his eyes, so she could only stare at the ground and look at him from the corner of her eyes.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"I am the captive of Princess Yatai." Chen Hui whispered.

He was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Hui carefully, as if confirming something, and then hesitated: "Did the princess say that I'm not here first?"

"No." Chen Hui was curious about what he was here to do, but she forced herself to ask.

The man nodded, as if he was relieved, and said nothing.

I don’t know how long it took to stalemate in such a strange atmosphere. The curtain was lifted up again and Yatai came in. She glanced at the man who appeared in her tent, and was not surprised. She just said to Chen Hui: “Do you want to go out first or stay here?”

"What?" Chen Hui didn't know that she had the right to choose.

Yatai raised his eyebrows and smiled, without saying a word, straight off the armor on his body, and the man leaned over, hugged Yatai's waist and kissed her earlobe.

Yatai was looking at Chen Hui with a smile.

"I, I, I go out!" Chen Hui ran out in a panic.

Yatai said behind the scenes: "Don't go too far, I'll have something to tell you after the matter is finished."

Before Chen Hui could respond, she heard ambiguous moans coming from behind, which scared her to escape from the tent and left for about ten meters before stopping.

To be honest, Chen Hui claimed to be an old driver and had seduced Li Youde as if she was a decent person, but it was two different things to do when others performed in front of her. It was really...

Hearing the vague sound from behind, Chen Hui walked a few more steps away.

It's so exciting!
