Jiang Meng followed the eyes of the leader Diao Mo and saw a woman with a masked face walking towards the tooth under the protection of several people beside her.

...

The Han and Qiang in the western region have always been deeply resentful.

However, the contradictions with the Huns are different. In addition to the objective reasons for the two sides to compete for space, there are also historical reasons for the improper rule of the Han Dynasty.

Although Xiao Qiao couldn't see the scene just now, considering that since this has always been the case, he had just arrived and even though Wei Shao was relying on it, it was difficult to easily touch the vested interests of these local tyrants, so he hesitated and decided to leave.

However, I didn't expect that something like this happened again. When I heard the young man calling "Sister" and was beaten so hard for the Qiang girl, I still refused to give in. For some reason, I remembered my brother Qiao Ci, how could he bear it, and turned around and came back and walked over quickly.

Seeing that the woman did not listen to her advice, the manager seemed to be trying to intervene, so he had no choice but to follow her.

The boy had been beaten and his eyes were swollen and his mouth was bleeding. The middle-aged man was still not satisfied. He kicked the Qiang girl who was crying and begging him again, and he wanted to beat him again. Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind him: "Stop!"

When Tooth turned around, he saw a woman with a face wearing a dark neck, and was stunned.

There is a lot of wind and sand in the west, and it is common for women to cover their heads with cloth towels when going out. So they looked at it.

Although the thin silk layer is not clear, you can see the general outline of facial features. You can intuitively see the woman's appearance, and you can hear her voice. It is clear and cool, very nice, and you won't be old.

I looked at her clothes again. Although the materials are good, there is nothing outstanding.

Finally, I looked at her follower, a middle-aged man with sheep beards and a servant. I guess it was a young woman from an ordinary wealthy family.

This man named Hu, and has a backstage. He doesn't take this ordinary wealthy family in Jinyang City seriously. He was a lewd man, and he had evil thoughts in his heart, and he really wanted to lift the veil to see what he wanted to see. As expected, he stopped as she said, and said with a smile: "Which woman is you? If you don't pick up needles and thread at home, what are you doing here?"

The manager was furious and scolded him sternly: "Don't be rude! Do you know--"

Xiao Qiao stopped the manager, glanced at the dozens of Qiang people tied on the ground, and said coldly: "I bought all of your people, how much is it!"

The manager was stunned.

Yaren and the person watching the fun were also stunned. They reacted, hesitated, and said, "Do you want to buy them all?"

Xiao Qiao said: "You don't understand what I said?"

Yaren believed it, thought for a while, and quoted a slightly higher number. He thought she wanted to bargain, but he didn't even have time to blink, so he heard her say, "Send all the people to the office of the North City Office! Send them to the future generations to pay for the money!"

Teeth was truly surprised.

Last year, Bingzhou changed its lord, and Wei Shao, the Marquis of Yan, replaced Chen Xiang and became the lord of Bingzhou. Local wealthy families were waiting for Wei Shao to come and have a friendship. They tiptoed and waited until not long ago, news came out that Yan Hou arrived in Jinyang and settled in the government office in the north of the city. In the first few days, the wealthy families in Jinyang were moved and rushed to visit the door. Those who gave beauty and gold and silk almost stepped on the threshold.

Wei Shao lived in the yamen office north of the city. Yaren naturally knew.

As soon as the woman opened her mouth, she said she would send everyone there...

Yaren hesitated and tentatively said, "Madam is joking me? How can I send things in randomly in the yamen office?"

He had changed his words and called her "madam".

Xiao Qiao said coldly: "I asked you to send it to me, just send it to me. Where did you come from so much verbal?"

Yaren immediately heard the indecisive tone that only the superiors would unconsciously bring out. He immediately did not dare to be arrogant. He quickly changed his face, respectfully, agreed repeatedly, and turned his head and loudly scolded the Qiang people on the ground who were tied into ropes, and stood up.

As the young man said, these Qiang people were indeed not prisoners of war, but were innocently captured from the Qiang people of various tribes in the Huangshui area. In this group, nearly a hundred people were sent together, and they were all wandering from Huangshui to this place. In the end, only dozens of people were left. Most of them could not speak Chinese and could not understand. They only knew that it was this young woman with a face covering her face that bought her. She didn't know what would happen here, and she was driven forward stumblingly.

Xiao Qiao came to the boy and saw that he seemed to be dying, so he ordered the manager to take him onto the carriage.

The manager saw that the boy was dirty and covered in blood, and hesitated for a while. Unexpectedly, the boy was extremely tenacious and slowly got up from the ground, bowed deeply to Xiao Qiao and said, "The kindness of the benefactor's life-saving kindness is unforgettable! I am dirty and dare not defile the benefactor's car. I can still leave myself."

Seeing that his face was dirty and embarrassing, his eyes were clear, and he spoke politely, as if he was educated, he became more fond of him, so he smiled and nodded.

Chunniang was kind and sad to watch from the side. She hurried over in person and untied the rope on the Qiang girl's hand. The Qiang girl kowtowed seven or eight times to Xiao Qiao, rolled and crawled to the boy. A long list of things Xiao Qiao couldn't understand appeared in her mouth, probably asking about his injuries. The boy shook his head, as if comforting her, and then turned around and followed the group of Qiang people and staggered forward. The Qiang girl hurriedly helped him with a respectful expression. Xiao Qiao felt that these two people were not like siblings.

The thought flashed by, and Xiao Qiao didn't think about it anymore. With countless gazes beside her, she left the market and boarded the carriage and returned to the yamen office.

The people watching the fun began to discuss the origin of the mysterious little woman. After a while, they gradually dispersed. In the end, the remaining few people were still standing there.

Jiang Meng said: "Where did that woman come from? She also lives in the Jinyang Yamen Office! Could it be that she is related to the Marquis of Yan?"

Diao Mo said without saying a word, just watched the little woman's carriage gradually fade away until he couldn't see it, and then he withdrew his gaze.

"Head man, I just saw the boy's arm with a tattoo of the Beihe clan."

Another follower suddenly said.

Jiang Meng was stunned, then looked disdainful: "It was actually a man from Beihe! He was born with a breath of Han people. It is worthy of being robbed and being humiliated so much!"

The Beihe people are another large clan among the Qiang people in Longxi, besides Shaodang. The old clan leader is now named Yuan Wang, who has been holding the clan leader's stick for more than 40 years. He is quite wise and leads the clan members to farm and build houses. He gradually changes nomadic to settlers. The population has once been greatly reproduced and is very famous among the Qiang people in Huangshui. However, later, the Beihe people were like the other Qiang people in Longxi, and were forced to move away by Chen Xiang and Feng Zhao, the governor of Liangzhou.

Last month, Diao Mo planned to attack Shangjun, and invited the Beihe tribe to join the joint battle, but was politely rejected by the old clan leader Yuan Wang. The Beihe people held their troops unmoved. After the defeat, Jiang Meng mentioned the Beihe tribe who did not fight together, and naturally felt dissatisfied.

Diao Mo said: "Everyone has ambition. The leader of the Beihe clan is highly respected, and he has his considerations if he does not send troops. I have always respected him. Don't talk nonsense anymore!"

When Jiang Meng saw him say this, he closed his mouth.

Diao Mo pondered, and the appearance of the young man just now appeared in front of him. He suddenly felt familiar. He couldn't remember where he had seen it. After hesitating, he ordered a follower to follow and check it out. Then he took the people and left the city first.

...

Xiao Qiao bought these twenty or thirty Qiang slaves back, but he couldn't understand the affairs.

But the wife liked it, so naturally she didn't dare to ask a question for a while. The first thing she did when she came back was to order these Qiang slaves to wash their hair and drip them, clean them up and put on the clothes of the Han people, and each gave a pair of shoes. Then she took them to dinner. Each of them gave two cakes, and there was no limit on porridge.

After the Qiang slaves finished their meal, the manager asked Xiao Qiao what they were going to do.

Xiao Qiao didn't know what they needed to do. At first, she bought it in the market, which was purely impulsive. Seeing that the manager had finished asking questions, she waited for her instructions, so she said, ask them first, let them go if they want to leave, and not force them to stay.

The manager was stunned.

It turned out that the wife spent money to buy so many Qiang slaves just to play with her.

I didn't dare to ask anything, so I turned around and called someone who could speak Qiang language. I really went to ask.

At first, the Qiang slaves couldn't believe that they had such good luck. They were bought successfully. Not only did they put on their clothes and shoes, but they also had a full meal. They thought it was good enough, but they didn't expect that now, the young lady actually let her go.

At first, no one believed it. They all looked at each other. Later, they confirmed that it was true. After more than a dozen people left, half of them were left. They refused to leave, saying that they had no family when they went back. Moreover, the journey was long, so they might not be able to return to the Huangshui area alive. They just wanted to stay and serve their wife. There were twelve men and two women. They were all very young.

The manager couldn't drive him away when he saw someone. He turned around and went to report to Xiao Qiao again.

Xiao Qiao thought about it and asked the man to temporarily serve as a mate and the woman to dry clean. If she was really fine, she would be idle and wait until she remembered to use it.

Then he gave another command and asked everyone to arrange it in the outer courtyard and not to enter the inner courtyard.

This is also for safety reasons. After all, although she has no malice towards these Qiang people, she cannot guarantee what others will plan.

Finally, the siblings were left. Xiao Qiao ordered the manager to arrange a single room to live, and then asked the doctor to come over to treat the young man's injuries.

The manager responded one by one.

...

A few days later, the Qiang teenager's injuries had healed a lot.

He called himself Dan Mingyuan and came to thank him again. When he looked at Xiao Qiao, his eyes were shiny and full of gratitude.

He was dirty that day, and Xiao Qiao only noticed that he had a pair of clear eyes. Unexpectedly, he washed it clean and changed into neat clothes, and looked very neat.

In order to commemorate his ancestors, a Qiang man used to spread his hair and touched his forehead across his forehead.

This young man named Yuan has black hair and white skin. He stands like a bamboo stick. If it weren't for the bruised marks on his forehead and eyes, he would have looked like a little bit of Ah Brother Qiao Ci when he was 12 or 33 years old.

Xiao Qiao felt more intimate and liked.

But the more I looked at it, the more I felt that he and this Qiang girl were not like brothers and sisters.

If it is not a brother or brother, then they are robbed together, there must be hidden information.

But she wasn't convenient for her to ask.

Besides, buying him that day was just an impulse, and she didn't want to inquire about other people's secrets. She smiled and said, "It's good that you're fine. Some of the people who came with you on that day have left. When you recover your wounds, if you want to leave, you will take care of yourself and I won't stop you."

...

That night, Chunniang was doing needlework in the room and chatting with Xiao Qiao.

This is the tenth night that Xiao Qiao has arrived in Jinyang.

Wei Shao still didn't reply, and there was no new news on the side of the affairs.

Not only Chunniang, but Xiao Qiao gradually felt something was wrong in her heart.

Chunniang looked at Xiao Qiao who was lying on the table and concentrating on painting the embroidery patterns for herself. She couldn't help but say, "The lady has been here for so many days, and I don't know when the male will come back."

Xiao Qiao didn't answer her words.

Chunniang said again: "Maybe the male king doesn't know that the female king is here? The female king has nothing to do anyway, so why not send a letter to the male king?"

Xiao Qiao's eyes were still on the patterns, and she finally smiled nonsensely: "Then Chunniang, what should I say in the letter I gave him?"

Chunniang hurriedly said, "I said the girl missed her..."

Suddenly, at this moment, a sound of footsteps came from outside the door, and the voice of the manager came up: "Xihe County is here to the Queen!"

Xiao Qiao suddenly raised his eyes and stopped writing.

Chunniang hurriedly got up to receive the letter, and happily handed it to Xiao Qiao when she came back: "It's a coincidence! Just now, the maid told her to ask the woman to write a letter to the male king. Now the man king has a letter to the woman!"

Xiao Qiao took the letter printed in hot paint and sealed it into the bamboo tube, took it out, spread it, took a look, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes stopped.

Chunniang was originally smiling, waiting for Xiao Qiao to say the contents of the letter. Suddenly, she saw that her expression was strange, and her smile slowly disappeared, and asked uneasily: "What's wrong?"

...

The letter was written by Gongsun Yang, who was in Xihe County with Wei Shao.

Three days ago, Wei Shao decided to return to Jinyang and left Gongsun Yang to defend Feng Zhao in Xihe County in Liangzhou. Before leaving, he made a temporary decision and only brought a team of troops to survey the terrain with Gongsun Yang, but did not want to encounter a sudden attack.

At that time, Wei Shao protected Gongsun Yang and successfully broke out of the siege, but one of his arms was accidentally injured by a □□.

I thought it was just a minor injury to the skin, but Wei Shao himself didn't care at the time.

But that crossbow was fed. Fortunately, the treatment was timely and only wiped the skin and life was not damaged.

But Junhou's remaining poison has not been removed yet, his body is still very weak, and he is now recovering from his injuries.

The king does not want the daughter to know, and he is strictly ordered not to send a message.
