Section 30 Khitan Women
Liu Yu asked, "Then where do you want to escape?" The woman sighed: "Where to escape? The robe on the body is open on the right side, the hem is wide and gorgeous, and the style is not Central Plains clothing. The five men who guarded her were all tall and mighty, with shaved scalps and a few pigtails on their heads.
Liu Yu said: "To be honest, I am also new to this place, and I am not very familiar with the local situation. Moreover, not far away, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court and the righteous army were fighting, and many of the main roads and small roads were blocked, so it was really difficult to walk. The woman was a little surprised when she heard this, and after discussing with the five entourages in Khitan, she said to Liu Yu: "Then you take me to find them, the court and the rebels, it's okay!"
Four men lifted the woman's chariot, and the other man walked in front to explore the way. The woman said, "Little brother, you follow me." All around these are traps laid by one of our Khitan masters, and they are very dangerous. As soon as Liu Yu heard her talk about masters, he thought of Lu Shengyan, Han Bushou and others, and couldn't help but worry about their current situation.
Liu Yu said: "Which of your Khitan masters is more powerful than our Central Plains martial arts masters?" The woman laughed and said, "Don't hide it from your little brother, I have been in Chang'an as a proton for several years, and I know that there are many talents in your Central Plains martial arts." We Khitans are good at riding and archery, and we are not as good as you Central Plains people in fighting alone. But some of us don't have the same skills as you.
"For example, the person who came to chase me this time is named Yue Wu Muli, who is a shepherd. He likes to set traps to catch wolves since he was a child, and he is especially proficient in arranging formations. The array he laid out is well-known in the Khitan, and few people can break it. ”
Liu Yu said: "So your enemy sent him to hunt you down, so that you have no escape?" The woman said: "That's right, but there is no way for heaven and man, the trap is dead, and the man is alive." Liu Yu said: "What you said also makes sense, I am willing to help you!" The woman said: "Thank you so much!" and said a few words in Khitan to a big man next to him, and the big man took out two gold ingots from his arms and handed them to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu waved his hand again and again to show that he didn't want to. The woman said, "This right is a small gift from me in advance, whether it is done or not, it is yours." When it's done, I'll give you another gift that is even heavier than that. She saw that Liu Yu was dressed ordinary, and she must be a baby from an ordinary village family. The two gold ingots he gave away, even if he was a wealthy household in the countryside, might not be able to save it in five years. The child refused to accept it, most likely because he was afraid that he would not be able to do anything after accepting the money, so he was afraid.
Liu Yu said: "I promised to help you because I think you are good people and I don't want your money." The woman was a little astonished at what he said, and said, "Oh, how do you see that we are good people?"
Liu Yu said: "If you are not good people, you will kill me when I say that I am not a local." The woman laughed, "Maybe we won't kill you, just because we are less familiar with the roads here than you, so why don't we let you lead the way?"
Liu Yu said: "Then you can also put a knife on my neck and force me to lead the way, and you won't give me gold nuggets." The woman smiled, thinking that this child was simple-hearted, and how did he know that the intrigues and tricks in this world were mostly wrapped in sweet words.
As the two walked along, the woman kept asking him about the situation between the imperial army and the rebel army in the past few months. After a while, the man who was exploring the way in front of him lay on the ground, listened with his ears, his face showed nervousness, and then said a few words to the woman in Khitan. The woman hurriedly ordered the four men who were carrying the chariots to turn back, and the group quickly turned back the same way.
Liu Yu ran to the chariot and said, "Why don't you leave this chariot behind and run down by yourself." It is not very convenient to ride in this wood. The woman explained, "I have some problems with my legs and feet, and it is not easy for me to walk. Liu Yu was a little apologetic and said, "I didn't know you had this problem, I'm really sorry!" The woman said, "It's okay!"
Liu Yu looked at the anxious look on the face of the pathfinder and guessed that the enemy was getting closer and closer. The four big men rushed with their chariots, and the big man pulled out his scimitar at his waist and struggled to cut down the branches of the trees along the way, trying to block one or two. Liu Yu thought to himself, "What is the way to run like this?" There are so many traps around here, if the pursuers don't arrive, and you're already trapped in the trap, how can you live?"
Liu Yu said to the woman, "I know a place to go, it's very dangerous, I don't know if you dare to go?" The woman asked, "Where to go?" Liu Yu pointed to a big man and said, "This is the place where he arrested me." The woman said, "Why do you want to go there?" Doesn't that mean it's dangerous?" Liu Yu said, "It's very dangerous, because there may be bad people there, and there may be good people." ”
He thought to himself, if Han Bushou, Lu Shengyan, and Yue Shengyan won the battle in Kanto, the people left there would naturally be good people. If the Kanto gang up with the four ghosts of Miaojiang won, then only the bad guys will be left. But if the bad guy wins the good guy, most of them won't stay on the sidelines. If Yue Daxia, Aunt Lu and Brother Bushou win, they will definitely wait for him to come back in the same place.
The woman muttered in Khitan language, said a few words to the big man Liu Yu pointed to, and then bit her lip, as if she had made a great determination, and said, "Okay, let's go there!" Liu Yu said, "Then I'll show you the way." The woman shook her head and said, "Let him take it, you don't know the trap." As he spoke, he pointed to the big man who was exploring the way.
After walking about a stick of incense, the group arrived at the farmhouse where Liu Yu was originally located. I saw that all the houses were burned down, and only charred wood and black charcoal were left in place. Liu Yu hurriedly ran over to check, only to see seven or eight charred corpses lying on the ground, difficult to identify, and thought: "Brother Bushou, Aunt Lu and Yue Daxia, they won't all be dead." With a great sorrow in his heart, he sat on the ground with a plop, two lines of tears came out of his eyes, and he didn't care about the Khitan people behind him.
Seeing Liu Yu's sad expression, the woman motioned for several of her attendants to carry her over. Unexpectedly, the two attendants who walked in front of the chariot had just taken a few steps forward when they suddenly foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground without knowing who was there. The other three hurriedly drew their scimitars and protected her behind them. At this moment, Lu Shengyan opened the cellar, pushed away the two charred corpses directly above, and jumped out.
When Liu Yu saw her, he was overjoyed and said, "Aunt Lu, you are still alive, I thought you were dead!" Lu Shengyan was very impatient, and was about to pop chestnuts to greet him, but in a blink of an eye, she saw Liu Yu crying for her, and couldn't help but soften her heart again, and said softly: "You let go, look at your body, it's dirty!"
When the three Khitan men saw this, they thought that they had been betrayed by this child, and shouted angrily. As for what they said, Liu Yu didn't understand a word. After three men and one woman, the four Khitans chattered and discussed for a while, and the woman said loudly to Lu Shengyan: "I don't know who your Excellency is, why do you want to do things for Na Yelu Shilu. I will give you whatever he can give you, and I will give you another 300 fine horses from the grassland. ”
Lu Shengyan said: "What the hell is Yelu Shilu, I don't know. One horse is enough for me, what do I need for three hundred? And who are you, and why did you beat our mind and trap us here all night?"
