After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

Yuanniang shrank her neck like a quail and did not dare to look up at the Tartar officer.

This timid look is exactly the same as the other women in the team.

The Tartar officer narrowed his eyes. He felt as if he had seen this woman before. "Raise your head!"

Yuanniang closed her eyes and raised her head.

There was a long wound running from the forehead to the chin, and his face was also gray.

There didn't seem to be anything suspicious.

But the Tartar officer still felt something was wrong: "Where did the wound come from? Where do you live?"

Yuanniang's heart skipped a beat, because they left the city in a hurry, and the Tartars usually did not interrogate the civilians so carefully, so the fake identity she made would not withstand the scrutiny.

"I……"

In a flash, Yuanniang was slapped hard on the back, causing a burning pain.

What followed was an old woman's angry curse: "You useless thing, you are causing trouble for me again! If you can't earn the money today, I will beat you to death!"

After scolding Yuanniang, the old woman licked her old face and kowtowed to the Tartar officer: "Sir, this bitch is my daughter-in-law. She doesn't work hard and was punished by my son yesterday. Did she make you angry? This has nothing to do with our family!"

The old woman's singing, acting, and fighting perfectly portrayed the image of a mean, heartless, and cowardly old civilian woman.

Yuanniang's eyes revealed a trace of fear of the old woman. She wanted to curl up into a ball and called out "mother" pitifully.

The old woman glared back at her: "Why are you yelling? If you bring trouble to our family, I will let my son divorce you!"

The Tartar officer frowned impatiently, too lazy to listen any further, kicked his horse's belly, and left the city.

The old woman and Yuanniang breathed a sigh of relief.

But there were many eyes around, vaguely scanning the two of them.

The old woman grabbed Yuanniang's ears and cursed as she followed the group of laborers leaving the city: "You useless piece of shit, what can you do?! I asked you to do some hard labor, but you haven't even earned any money yet, and you almost put our whole family to death!"

The old woman cursed and pushed, as if she was a really mean old woman.

It was not until they had walked a long way out of the city with the team that they fell silent.

The ranks of civilians were filled with deathly silence. Everyone numbly escorted the food and fodder and moved forward along the designated route.

I don't know how long they walked. It was not until the sun set and the moon rose that the leading Tatar asked everyone to stop and settle down not far from a small hill.

It was naturally impossible for the Tatars to prepare dinner for the Han laborers, as the laborers all brought their own dry food when they went to work.

They took out hard multi-grain cakes from their small torn pockets, some of which were mixed with wild vegetables, and some were mixed with rice bran.

Water is precious on the grassland. The laborers take a big bite, hold it in their mouths, soften it slowly with saliva, and then swallow it with difficulty.

Yuanniang didn't eat anything because her small bag was filled with coarse flour buns, which didn't match her current status.

Yuanniang looked around calmly, feeling very anxious.

She could no longer follow the team. If she entered the Tartar camp, it would be extremely difficult to escape to the other side!

She must leave the civilian team and take another route to the Yunzhou camp!

The anxiety in Yuanniang's eyes caused the old woman to look at her several times.

Finally, a dark cloud covered the moon, and the entire grassland became dark in an instant.

Yuanniang didn't say anything and took advantage of the short night to run away.

Although she was sitting at the very edge of the team, her movements still attracted the attention of a young man in the team of laborers.

The young man suddenly stood up and wanted to shout loudly, but his companion next to him covered his mouth and pressed him down.

By the time the dark clouds slowly moved away and the moon shone again, Yuanniang had already climbed over a nearby hill.

The hillside blocked the Tatars' view, and the Tatars, who were well fed and well-drinking, did not notice that one person was missing from the team.

The young man with his mouth covered had a look of fear in his eyes, because the Tartars had a rule that if anyone in the labor team escaped, the entire team would be punished, with the lighter punishment being flogging, and the heavier punishment being death!

"She is the daughter-in-law of the Ma family."

His companion whispered this in his ear.

The young man's pupils suddenly dilated.

All the Han people in Wuzhou City know that the Ma family is facing the south, towards the general!

At the critical moment of the battle between the two sides, the daughter-in-law of the Ma family scratched her face and mixed in with the civilian workers to escape from the city. Something big must have happened!

The young man winked at his companion, and his companion let go of his hand.

The young man sat silently on the grass. He glanced at the people around him and found that the person who was sleeping just now was now staring at the moon in the sky with his eyes open.

So, they just saw it?

The moonlight poured down like water, dyeing all the scenery on the grassland with a light silver-gray.

Yuanniang ran as fast as she could, and the green grass under her feet spread out like green waves as she ran.

The insects hiding in the grass fled away at high speed.

The wind blew Yuanniang's hair into a mess, her heart beat like a drum in her ears, but Yuanniang's steps never stopped.

Hurry up, hurry up, tell the general that there is no reinforcement and Gu Hai is trapped!

The Tatars want to besiege the general!

There is a traitor in the Zhou court!

Yuanniang's face was wet, and it was unclear whether it was sweat or tears.

She didn't dare to think about what would happen to the Ma family members who remained in Wuzhou City if the news of her sneaking out of the city was discovered by the Tartars!

She also didn't dare to think about what would happen to Yunzhou's hundreds of thousands of troops if she fell on the road and no one sent a message to the general!

Her chest and throat felt burning and Yuanniang's consciousness began to blur.

She didn't know how long she had been running. In a trance, she seemed to see the white river winding like a silver ribbon.

Is it finally time for me to arrive?

Just as Yuanniang forced a smile, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from behind her!

Yuanniang turned around and was horrified to find that the Tartar on horseback was raising his bow, and the sharp arrow reflected a dazzling light.

There was an ocean in Yuanniang's heart, and the arrow was directed at her!

……

At this moment, Gu Nanxi's central military tent was crowded with grassland tribal leaders who wanted to fight.

"General! When will Yunzhou's food arrive? We have been out of food for two days!"

"General, how about we charge! Fight to the other side and rob their food, cattle and sheep!"

"General, if we keep waiting like this, the Tartars won't even have to do anything, we'll just starve to death!"

If the commander had been anyone else, these starving grassland soldiers would have rebelled long ago.

But the commander is the general!

Gu Nanxi was very anxious.

There was no movement from the left army, and the messenger sent to the left army did not return.

Why hasn't Alechuan, who stayed in Yunzhou, sent food here yet? !

Gu Nanxi felt an unprecedented pressure. On his shoulders were the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and the expectations of the entire Yunzhou!

Just one wrong decision could lead to a total loss!

What should I do?
