Chapter 176: Gaduo Lake (I)
(a)
A flash of swords flashed. The gauze tent was cut in the middle. Wu Shun grabbed the gauze tent and pulled it down hard, and it fell down and fell to the ground.
Everyone felt that their eyes lit up, and the whole tent was instantly bathed in a soft light.
The saber in Wu Shun's hand hung down. He took two steps back.
Standing in the tent stood a slender and very beautiful woman, through a thin veil, her blue eyes were looking at the Han army like a wolf and a tiger.
After a while, Wu Shun realized that his eyes had been stuck on the woman's face in front of him for a while as if they were being attracted by a magnet. His heart was awe-struck for a moment, and he collected his thoughts.
He looked away, turned his head and asked the newly captured captive beside him, "Is that her?" ”
The captive nodded.
Wu Shun said to the woman, "You are the legendary flower of the grassland, the concubine of Dasuo?" ”
The woman nodded. She didn't seem panicked, and she wasn't hostile to the Han army.
Wu Shun said, "Please come with me." ”
The woman smiled at Wu Shun and the Han soldiers around him and nodded in agreement.
She stepped forward.
Wu Shun took a step back again. The surrounding Han troops also retreated one after another, making way for her to pass in the middle.
(b)
"Lift your head up, take the veil off, and show me."
Soldiers came around and ripped off the woman's veil.
The woman looks at you with watery eyes.
You gaze softly at the beautiful mixed-race woman in front of you.
You gently ask, "How old are you?" ”
She looks at you with seductive blue eyes and says, "19 years old." ”
You say, "I heard that Zuo Xianwang Dasuo likes you very much?" ”
She nodded proudly.
You say, "You like Dasuo too?" ”
She said: "I have great respect for King Zuoxian. He's like my sun. ”
You say, "But he has a lot of women." How many are you? Fifty? Hundred? ”
She said: "What does it matter. I only have him in my heart as a man, so that's fine. ”
You laugh a little. You say, "But he's too old and too preoccupied." He doesn't deserve you at all. ”
You step out of your seat and walk over to her.
The woman's father was captured and held in a corner of the tent. Seeing you walking towards her, I couldn't help but move, and wanted to step forward, but was firmly grasped by the Han soldiers behind me. Han soldiers put their sabers around his neck. He stopped struggling, but his eyes were still firmly fixed on you.
You look at the woman kneeling at your feet, and you look back at her father, and at her brothers and people, who were also taken prisoner and held in a corner of the tent.
You say, "I don't understand what you guys think." It's a terrible thing. Such a woman, you should have sacrificed the king of Han as a concubine, so as to seek long-term friendship between the two clans. But you married her to Da Suo, a mediocre man who was about to turn forty, but who had not yet returned to the hearts of the tribes of the steppe, and who had never ascended to the throne of the Khan, was still a concubine. It's not a pearl secret investment, isn't it a pity? Now, she is no longer complete, and if she wants to turn back, there is no possibility. You can only go with the flow in this chaotic world, and whoever you meet will be owned by whomever you meet. ”
You say, "She deserves a better partner no matter what." She should have found a younger owner. ”
You look at her, and you ask, "Haven't you thought about trying to be younger, stronger, and more worthy of your man?" ”
The woman looks at you. She looked at her father and brother next to her. She replied: "King Zuo Xian has been very good to me, he has never made me sad and sad, and by his side, I am very happy and happy." I never thought of it that way. Besides, King Zuo Xian is in the prime of life, and he is not old. ”
You laugh a little and say, "You have to be careful what you say." Although I pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, I cannot bear to cut out your tongue. But look at the side. There are a lot of tongues next to it. ”
You said, "Who made your Zuo Xian King, who was in his prime, not angry?" Hide you in such a remote rear of the grassland, and let us Han people catch you. If you feel like you can't speak your mind, it's not my fault. You've got to hate him. hated why he was so useless, he had 100,000 soldiers, but he couldn't even protect his own concubines. ”
The woman bowed her head and stopped talking.
(c)
You look at the tent. You said to her, "Don't you think it's depressing to have so many people stuffed in this tent?" ”
She looks at you and doesn't answer.
You say, "Why don't I take you out for a walk?" ”
The woman's father and brothers struggled again, and then were subdued by the Han army.
You look at the woman and smile.
You say, "What's the best place around here that you think has the best scenery?" ”
"There's a lake ten miles away, and it's beautiful," she said. ”
You say, "Take me to see it?" ”
She hesitated. You glance at her father and brother who are being held next to you. You say, "Of course, you can also reject me." ”
"Nope! No! I'm willing to show you. She said hurriedly.
(iv)
You ride your horse and walk to the tent. Say, "Bring out all the people in the tent." ”
The soldiers brought all the bound captives and pressed them to the ground, causing them to kneel in rows.
Only the woman was not tied. She stood there alone.
Your eyes sweep over her captured father and people. You walk past these people and stop in front of her. You hold out your hand to her. You look at her and say, "You, come up." ”
She hesitates again and slowly reaches out and grabs your hand. With a suffix of your arm, you lift her up to the horse and sit her down in front of yours.
Her father's lips moved, but he didn't make a sound.
You said to her father, "As soon as I entered the prairie, I heard your daughter's name. Actually, your small tribe doesn't have much value to attack. I came here for her on this trip. If she's not here, I'm not here. It was definitely a big mistake for you to take her out of Dasuo's old camp and come back here. But you have already made this mistake. You don't have a chance to correct it. ”
Wu Shun translated sentence by sentence to the person kneeling on the ground.
You say, "I've traveled so far and fought so hard with your guys along the way, it's impossible to leave without enjoying a little bit of the real thing." ”
Say, "Now, the lives of all your people depend on her." ”
You say, "If for a moment she is obedient and cooperative enough to make me feel enough enjoyment and pleasure, then I may be happy enough to spare you all." However, if she is disobedient and refuses to cooperate, and makes me feel in a bad mood, then, when I return, you will all have to fall to the ground, and you will never see the sun tomorrow. ”
You say to the woman in front of you, "Do you understand what I just said?" ”
The woman looked at her relatives and nodded silently.
You say, "Your performance for a while should be worthy of your fame." ”
You say, "It's not easy to live." If you want to continue to live, you have to exchange your best things for it. ”
You said to Wu Shun, "Bring 10 guards with me." The others were watching the captives here, and were not allowed to follow without orders. ”
You leave the camp with the woman.
All the Begi people think they know what you're going to do.
But the brothers of the New Han Army were puzzled: they didn't look like a womanizer before the commander. Why did you suddenly change someone today?
Wu Shun was even more puzzled, but he kept all this in his heart and followed you silently.
