The Queen of the Prairie and I

It is said that after Shan Ying learned that Zhuonatia was captured alive by Wen Liangyu because of the mutiny, she immediately bid farewell to the Guijier clan, and walked out of the mountain with her entourage in an attempt to gather the scattered tribes to rescue Zhuonatia.However, the central area of ​​the grassland was occupied by the rebellious Dada tribe. Although Sugi Ying succeeded in gathering batch after batch of stragglers by virtue of her appeal as the eldest princess, under the support of the Dada army with the help of the Central Plains, The continuous loss of manpower under the siege and interception, and because Wang Zhan's [-] army in the east began to sweep away the remaining forces of Bugude, Shanying had to keep moving her camp on the grassland, and was tired of coping with the repeated harassment of the Dada army. From the beginning to the end, the number of people recruited did not exceed a thousand.

Seeing that it was late winter, taking advantage of the snowy season, Shanying discussed with her subordinates and decided to break through the rebels' barriers and bypass King Lu's army in Lianhua City, and go to the Western Regions to find the An people for help.Because in this situation where the wall is falling and everyone is pushing, only the An people will help Zhuonatia's side.She set off from the west of Guangjian Sichuan with a cavalry of thousands of people. The wind and snow tortured her all the way, not to mention the enemy's continuous harassment, and she didn't come to the Baishan Mountains until early spring.By this time, Shanying's tribe had less than 100 people. She originally thought that she would have to travel another year to Ailima, the base camp of the An people, because the destruction of the Baishan tribe made the bridgehead of mercenary business here also disappear.In the end, she discovered that the war launched by the Dalu Dynasty against Zhuonatia caused the Western Regions to fall into a war between the remnants of the pro-Zonatia and Lianhua City and the remnants of the Baishan tribe, which made the An people see business opportunities. A camp of more than 2000 people described by the general is stationed here, waiting to receive various war business.

Shan Ying, Fu Kou, and dozens of cavalrymen were targeted by archers in front of the camp. They had to declare their intentions, but the An people only allowed women to enter the camp.So Shan Ying could only take Fu Kou and seven or eight female riders off their horses and enter the camp.The camp has abundant supplies, the soldiers are well-armored, and the generals are like Langhu, but it is not difficult to find that they are all women.It is also the first time for Shanying to see the big camp of the An people at such a young age, and she also feels from the bottom of her heart that the heroism of the An people is really different, and it is not comparable to men and women of other races.

"Eldest Princess, you have almost lost all your treasures, what will you do when you meet General Anzu?" Fukou whispered to Shanying.Since she left the cuckoo department, she also talked more and more day by day.

"I have my own way." Shan Ying said.She seemed calm and composed, but actually felt a little guilty and nervous, so naturally she couldn't escape Fuko's eyes.

"The An people must hate the Cuckoods to death... won't there be any danger?"

"No, the An people will stay out of the matter forever if they are not hired, and the position depends entirely on the employer."

"I hope it's true."

Several people were brought to the big tent by the Anzu guards. In the tent sat an Anzu general, who seemed to be just over [-], with broad shoulders and long legs, tall and tall, with armor but no helmet, and long hair behind his head. With a long ponytail and only a strand of hair hanging from her forehead, she is energetic and heroic, and the breastplate is also molded to fit her figure, making Sugi Sakura and her party unconsciously look away.

When Shan Ying saw her, she knew that she must be a general of the An clan. At the same time, she also thought that the armor could be made into such a beautiful and practical appearance. Sure enough, our men's place is still too narrow-minded.

"Welcome, guest from Cuckood." The general said, "My name is anntujis. You can call me Antes in the language of your Cuckoods."

"Thank you." Shan Ying was very happy, because the An people were willing to speak their names in their own language to outsiders, which was a sign of goodwill and trust.She said, "My name is..."

"Shan Ying, the second daughter of the White Eagle family, isn't it?" Antes laughed, and Shan Ying was stunned.

"How did you know?"

"We pay attention to all the wars. The wars that took place on the Eastern Grassland have made the White Eagle Familia notorious. Many of my subordinates think that the Bugudes who can't control the soldiers are cowards. They advise me not to pick up any Bugudes. Do you think it's reasonable?"

"sorry, I...."

"Answer me first." Her momentum was undeniable, and Shan Ying felt a little overwhelmed. Thinking that she was here to ask for help, she could only follow her heart: "Your subordinate is right."

"What's wrong? Are the Bugudes cowards, or shouldn't they take your jobs?" Antes continued to ask with a smile, making Shan Ying extremely uncomfortable.

"That's right. The current Bugude people are indeed what the An people call cowards. It's also right to look down on us and not take our jobs."

"Oh? It's hard for a coward to have self-knowledge, so let's say 'I'm a coward', you all talk about it, and let my subordinates listen carefully. Sisters! Put aside what you are doing and look at others Admit that you are a coward." She clapped her hands and made everyone in the big tent look at Shanying and her party, their eyes made them unable to lift their heads.

"Too much deception!" One of Shanying's female soldiers couldn't bear such insults, she put her hand on the handle of the knife, and then a flying knife flew out of nowhere and pierced her arm, causing her to fall to the ground clutching her hands.

"Don't move!" Shan Ying turned her head and shouted to her subordinates, looked at Antes again, and said in a low voice: "If General Antes wants to make fun of others, just blame me or my sister Han, Please don't insult our soldiers. They sent me here by killing the enemy all the way, and they should not be insulted like this."

Shanying's appearance made Fukuo's heart bleed, and also made the followers bow their heads and almost cry.Princess Shanying has always been a stubborn person since she knew it. Even if she becomes an idle nobleman, she is no different from a general in the eyes of soldiers. Now, in order to save the queen, she is so humble here, which is really heartbreaking.

"Well said!" Antes applauded alone, and the voice was particularly harsh. "Now that Bugude and the Ten Arrows Alliance are falling apart, Dalu's army is in a state of turmoil, and your Queen Dronatia has been captured alive by a little Wen Liangyu. Do you want money or power? I'm afraid you will die in the future." There is no scum left. It is really worthless to take your job. But we An people have never cared about other people's good or bad, stupid or stupid things. We are not like some individuals who use our own principles to force Others, if there are no cowards in the world, who do we fight for? But then again, since we make a living by employment, we naturally have to eat. The little sister of the White Eagle family came here and begged me to take the job. Did you bring something good?" Antes said, and Shanying was about to answer, which made Fuko even more afraid to listen.

"Fifty silver dinars from the Moon Khanate. Twenty official silver ingots from the Central Plains." She said loudly, and the big tent fell silent.

"I believe this must be a gift written on the cover of the payment account book? So what's next?" Antes laughed.

"Nothing."

"No more? Did you hear that, sisters, the first time people from the Baiying family came to hire An people, they only paid such a small amount of money. It's not enough to wear a pair of silver armor and bring them back to Ailima and the mothers to show off. If I Saying that this is a commission from the White Eagle Family of the Unified Grassland, they will definitely laugh that I met an imposter—" Antes said and came to Shan Ying, who was a head taller than Shan Ying, making Shan Ying I can only look up at her, "Should I say it's ridiculous, or pitiful?"

"I know you won't be satisfied, so I..."

"You what?" she asked forcefully, getting closer, making Shan Ying stutter even more.

"I... I... I will be a devotee, is that enough commission?" Shan Ying finally said what was in her heart.

"Ha! A devotee? Dare to say, our little sister of the White Eagle Familia dare to say it!" Antes pointed at Fuko and asked, "I ask you, do you know what a devotee is? How about you?" She asked A female soldier pointing at those Shan Ying asked, ignoring Shan Ying pulling her sleeve to stop, but none of those people answered.

"Of course they don't know. After all, little sisters have to save face, don't they? Even at this time, the White Eagle Familia still insist on maintaining dignity in front of their subordinates. What a lovely little sister." She laughed, "If I want to Wrong, tell me, if you don’t dare to say, it means I’m right, how about it?”

Shan Ying frowned, unwilling to turn her head back, she was really a little afraid of Antes' character who knew people's hearts too well, and she was afraid that she would do something because she tried to hide it. "The concubines of the An people only need to be of noble birth. Some of them are sent away with their relatives along with the commission, some are captives captured in the hired war, and the devotees...are voluntary...to become such people voluntarily in exchange for a hire ..." Shanying really couldn't continue, and saw the unbelievable look of Fuko and others.

"Eldest princess!" "Why the eldest princess!" They asked each other ups and downs in surprise.

"Sorry, I said in advance that you will definitely refuse to come, I can only..."

"The Moon Khanate sent us a princess in exchange for five hundred heavy cavalry. Princess Bugude, how much do you think you are worth?"

"I don't want anything else, I want five hundred assassins to sneak into Lu Junda and rescue Sister Han!"

"Oh? Coincidentally, there are only five hundred assassins in our camp, but I don't think you're worth the price."

Shan Ying finally blushed, and immediately pulled out the thin moon scimitar, and Antes also drew out the straight long sword, sparks flashed, and the two swords collided, "Let me see if you are worth it!"

Seeing the two men fighting with their swords drawn, several attendants wanted to step forward to help them, but saw several An people pointing their crossbows at them, so they could only move.

Antes swings the sword powerfully, almost every time a gust of wind blows, Shan Ying is agile, dodges every move, every slash and slash hits the vital point, but is blocked by force.The two fought together and fought airtightly for a while before separating.Shan Ying was already out of breath, because she had run out of stamina from the long-distance travel, but she saw that Antes was not blushing and was not panting.

"Okay, that's great, as expected of Dronatia's younger sister." She put away her long sword, Shan Ying was puzzled by this, but she also retracted her scimitar.The An people are martial arts, and in their eyes, a beauty must be able to fight to be considered beautiful, otherwise, no matter how beautiful a person is, she will only be regarded as a useless skin.Therefore, concubines usually live in misery, which is also related to the fact that most of the princes and nobles do not know martial arts, so they are despised by the An people.

"Pass my order, the assassins and the hussars are ready to attack Wen Liangyu's barracks and rescue Dronatia," she said.The unreasonableness and straightforwardness of the An people left a deep impression on everyone this time. Sure enough, once the matter was established, they would not waste a single minute.Sugi Ying experienced a short period of humiliation, but now she finally showed a look of relief.

"You can leave." She said to Fuko and the others, Shanying wanted to turn around too, but was hugged by Antes, which made her scream softly.

"You can't go," Antes said. "An Mu now dares to use his life to serve the Lu people's Lianhua City Hexi army. If he wins a big battle, he will definitely get back the title of general. And I am against her because of Bugude's rescue of Zhuonatia, and secondly, I am better than her. If you get one more Princess Bugude, you can overwhelm her, and I am eager to show off when you leave." Hearing this, Shan Ying was at a loss, who is An Mu?

"Princess..." Everyone didn't want to leave when they saw this, Antes let Shanying go. "Since it's mine, you must be self-aware. I don't want to kill my concubine's subordinates. Send them away yourself, and then we swear." Shan Ying sighed after hearing this, and unconsciously found that the corners of her eyes were already wet.

Concubines, she still knows that in the society of the An people, concubines are not much different from those women who are despised by them outside, so their status will not be high.

"Do you need to be in such a hurry?"

"If you talk back in the future, I will punish you." Antes said, turned around and was about to leave the tent, leaving everyone behind.

Fu Kou stepped forward and whispered to her: "Princess, don't cry." She wiped Shan Ying's tears, "Let's not save the queen, shall we?"

Shan Ying was surprised, "Aren't you the most loyal to Sister Han! Why do you say such things?"

"It doesn't matter what I do, but the eldest princess... the eldest princess is more important."

"That's enough, Fuko, let's go back with them. Sister Han's first thing to do after she is free is to liquidate the traitors. The Guijier clan managed to survive, so you can't just die like that."

"How can the eldest princess be a concubine... I'll come, and the eldest princess will go," Fuko continued.The more she doesn't talk much, the more difficult it is to express herself.

"As long as they are like me, this is also the blessing of the white eagle. Sister Han has a sister who is idle and good at fighting like me. In the eyes of the An people, she is a perfect lover, so they can save her life." She smiled wryly, "In this way, I have settled with my sister and the family. There is nothing wrong with being a concubine, at least there are no rules like those of the emperor's family, right? That Li Ningsheng can get along with the people of the An clan, so what am I afraid of?" She half said comfortingly.

"Princess...you have grown up." Fuko suddenly reached out and touched Shan Ying's head.

"Yes." Shan Ying replied, and suddenly couldn't hold back her tears, "Can you call me Shan Ying? Just treat it as the last time"

"For me, the eldest princess is the eldest princess," Fuko said, "I only have this consistent eldest princess in my life."
