"Let's go back to the border and pick a few villages to rob, and we'll get the women back." The Hu leader felt sad to let go of these beautiful women, but there was nothing he could do.

The elders of the tribe were captured by the army guarding the border, and the princess was used to exchange the elders.

"How can a country girl who is exposed to the wind and sun compare with the delicate and tender young ladies in the capital?"

The leader of the Hu people certainly understood that the elders were more important than these women: "Stop talking nonsense, do as I say and release these people quickly."

The Hu people were extremely unwilling, but they still carried out their leader's orders.

After releasing the remaining hostages, the Hu leader dragged He Shulan onto his horse, whipped the horse, and galloped wildly on the muddy road in the suburbs.

The prince shouted anxiously: "Stop the Hu people for me."

However, the city gate was blocked by the people, and the soldiers and the prince could not get out at all.

When they walked out of the city gate, the Hu people had disappeared, and the prince dropped his sword in anger.

He shouted anxiously: "What should I do?"

Prince Ning hurried forward to comfort him: "It's a long way to the border, and we have to pass many towns. We can catch them along the route, don't be too anxious."

He Shulan fell into the hands of the Hu people, how could he not be anxious: "Let's set off now."

The matter in the capital has not been resolved yet, and Prince Ning is busy, so he can't accompany the prince to catch people: "How did the Hu people come to the capital? I still need to investigate. The matter of chasing the Hu people will be left to you."

The prince nodded in agreement without giving it much thought. He led more than 200 soldiers and disappeared into the night.

……

The leader of the Hu people knew that the prince would catch up with him, so he rode his horse and fought on the main road for a long time, and then decided to take a small road.

This way, not only can you avoid the sight of the common people, but it will also be less likely to be discovered by the prince.

The path was narrow, with dense weeds and big trees growing on both sides, so they had to dismount.

Leading a horse and holding a torch, walking on the narrow path.

He Shulan followed behind with difficulty, took off the pearl necklace around her neck, and after walking for a while, she quietly dropped a pearl.

I hope the prince can recognize these pearls.

She had never walked such a long distance in her previous life or this life. After walking for a short while, she was out of breath.

Want to stop and rest.

The leader of the Hu people disagreed: "Your body is too delicate. You can't stand it after walking for such a short time."

He Shulan rolled her eyes. The Hu people must have other purposes for holding her hostage.

"I am of noble birth and married into a prince's mansion. I have servants to serve me in the mansion, and I have sedan chairs and carriages when I go out. I have never suffered any hardship. After walking for such a long time, of course I can't walk anymore."

The leader of the Hu people was helpless because of He Shulan's trouble. He Shulan could not get into any trouble and had to return to the border with them alive.

"We'll rest once we get out of this dense jungle path."

At this time, He Shulan did not dare to make any more excessive demands. She lifted her already exhausted legs and continued to walk forward.

……

The prince rode his horse and chased the Hu people on the road for a long time, but did not see any of them.

He stopped, looking at the road ahead that had no end in sight, and felt extremely anxious. He didn't know which road the barbarians had taken, and whether he should continue chasing them.

The soldier who had been waiting for a long time came forward and asked, "Prince, which road should we take? There are several forks in the road here."

"I don't know either. If we take the wrong road, not only will we waste our time, but we will also let those Hu people escape." The prince frowned even deeper.

"Let's go back and send more soldiers, and divide them into several groups to chase them. This way the chances of catching them will be greater." The soldier expressed his thoughts.

"It will be too late then." After he finished speaking, the prince saw a faint silver light flickering on the ground.

He jumped off his horse, walked over to pick up the pearl on the ground, and immediately recognized it as the pearl on He Shulan's neck.

Not knowing why it fell here, he looked around and saw no other pearls but this one.

This made him fall into deep thought. Why did only this one pearl fall off?

The prince looked at the place where the pearl fell. There was a small path not far away, and he immediately understood.

He Shulan had left this pearl here on purpose. She was showing him the way and stuffed the pearl into her arms: "Let's take the small road."

Without any hesitation, the soldier followed immediately, leading his horse.

The prince walking in front held up a torch in his hand to light the road ahead, while keeping his eyes fixed on the ground.

He picked up two more pearls on the path, which made him so excited that he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

……

At the end of the path, there is still a dense forest, and the weather is quite cold at night.

The Hu leader was afraid that the Hu soldiers and He Shulan would catch a cold, so he did not let them sleep on the grass.

Instead, he found a dilapidated temple and planned to sleep there for a night.

Although He Shulan was a married woman, it was impossible for her to sleep under the same roof with a group of men: "I sleep in a separate room."

"How can that be? What if you run away?" The Hu leader did not agree. They had finally captured a hostage who could be exchanged for the elder, and there could not be any mistakes.

"Do you want me to sleep in the same room with you?"

"Why not?" the leader of the Hu people replied. There are often wolves on the grassland. Except for newlyweds, the rest of the Hu people sleep separately, and they sleep in one tent.

He Shulan's face turned ugly. She couldn't accept this barbaric culture, so she could only settle for the next best thing: "I'll sleep in this shabby little house, and you guys will be right next to me. Don't worry that I'll run away."

The leader of the Hu people looked around and saw that there were no windows around and the hut was a long distance from the gate. He was sure that He Shulan could not escape, so he agreed.

He Shulan lay on the cold floor, unable to fall asleep. She wondered whether the prince had discovered the pearls she had dropped on the ground.

I hope the prince can catch up with the Hu people as soon as possible and rescue her. As I thought about it, I slowly fell asleep.

I slept till the next morning, when the Hu people woke me up: "Hurry up and get up, we have to hurry on our way."

He Shulan glanced at the gray sky and said, "There's nothing urgent anyway, let's have breakfast and then continue on our journey."

The leader of the Hu people threw a piece of hard cake to He Shulan: "This is breakfast. Don't try to delay time and let the prince bring people to rescue you. I won't let you go easily."

He Shulan, whose thoughts were seen through, did not refute but obediently followed the Hu soldiers out of the dilapidated temple.

She was now starving. She took a bite of the cake in her hand and almost broke her teeth. How could she eat such a hard cake?

She wanted to protest, but when she saw the Hu people, each holding a cake in his hand, she swallowed the words that were about to come to her mouth.
