To Rule in a Turbulent World

The Hu people laughed again and again, You Miao didn't understand the language at all, while hiding, he secretly scolded this group of people for being stupid, when would they want to rob something?Wouldn't it be better to block the way and rob the goods before entering the city?They are all goods from the Central Plains, so if they come to rob at this moment, it is nothing more than taking back the furs and other specialties outside the Great Wall that were exchanged for them... Why didn't they rob the goods before?Coming all the way from Yangkou Mountain, why not rob such a good opportunity?

You Miao vaguely thought of one thing—these people must have been brought here by Li Zhifeng!No, no, no... This thought enveloped him like a shadow.

The carriage moved without warning, and You Miao was startled again. The barbarians shouted, and then the whole carriage turned to the left, causing You Miao's eyes to stare, the horses neighed, and the sound of hooves gradually faded away.

The entire carriage turned over on the ground, and the charcoal fire poured out and landed on the quilt, instantly igniting the interior of the carriage. You Miao coughed loudly, and when he heard the noise outside, he could no longer hide, so he had to cover his head with a robe and push He drove the window, and the barbarians screamed in his ears. As soon as You Miao went out, he was picked up, dragged all the way on the snow, and then thrown to the ground. The snow was very cold.

You Miao finished thinking, at this time, what he wanted to shout was not that I was rich, so don't kill me, but he couldn't help but raise his head to see if Li Zhifeng was among the group of people.

The Hu people were lighting torches, their faces were full of flesh, and they stood around like iron towers. You Miao was very panicked at first, but after glancing at these people, he gradually calmed down.Thank goodness, there is no Li Zhifeng.

But after thinking about it, the tipper may not necessarily appear.

The leader of the Hu people gave an order, and someone stepped forward to tie You Miao tightly, stuffed rags into his mouth, and threw them into the wagon with goods. The Hu people rode on horses and chatted excitedly with each other. What tribe are these people from.Looking back, I saw that there were less than ten carts of goods robbed by the barbarians. It is expected that many of the previous merchants also escaped.

That's right, seeing that he was well-dressed, these barbarians must have planned to take him as a hostage and ask Daqiguo to send money to redeem him.

Once he figured it out, You Miao was relieved a lot.

What he is most afraid of at the moment is to see Li Zhifeng, but the matter has come to this point, it is useless to think too much, he is the only one who was caught alive in the entire convoy, and the barbarians were careless in their work, so they did not search for his dagger. The dagger was stuffed in the boot shaft, and at this moment he shook his right foot lightly, the dagger was still there, heavy.

With the hands cut behind the back, it was not difficult to draw out the dagger and cut the rope to escape.

However, at this moment, there is a world of ice and snow, and the plains stretch as far as the eye can see. Where can I escape if I break free?I'm afraid that if you don't walk for two hours, you will be frozen to death on the ice field, let's see what happens if you don't run away.Judging by the wind direction, You Miao is heading northwest at this moment, and the further you go, the more you go back... If you go outside the Great Wall, I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter the customs again in this life.

For a while, I was tangled in my heart, thinking over and over again, and when I saw the village in the distance, the gray sky was already bright, the sun was hidden behind the thick clouds, and snow powder was still floating between the sky and the earth.

It was a village that had been scorched black by fire, and it was obvious at a glance that it was a temporary stronghold occupied by the Hu people after looting. The snow was covered with blood, and there were abandoned human corpses on both sides of the road.

The Hu people lifted You Miao down and threw them into a sound room. You Miao hit the wooden floor headfirst, her eyes were black, and she wriggled with difficulty.The light in the room was very dim, a few pieces of red charcoal were placed in a copper basin, and there was still coughing in the room.

"Woooo..." You Miao wriggled over with a cloth stuffed in her mouth.

"Who?" A boy's voice sounded from the corner.

"Well—" You Miao turned over and lay on the ground.

After a long while, You Miao's eyes adapted to the light, looked around, and saw a strange boy who was about the same age as herself.

"You were also arrested?" the boy asked in a low voice.

You Miao nodded slowly, the young man turned his back, approached You Miao with his hands tied behind his back, and tore off the cloth he stuffed in his mouth.

You Miao let out a long breath.

"Don't talk..." the boy said, "If you say anything, you will be beaten."

The two talked very quietly.

You Miao: "What's your name?"

"Zhao Chao." The boy replied, "What about you? How did you get caught here?"

You Miao looked at him, saw that he was dressed in rags and leather armor, and replied, "My name is You Miao. I followed the caravan to Jiangbei and was robbed halfway."

Zhao Chao said: "I sneaked out hunting with my slaves, but I didn't expect to meet this group of people, damn it."

You Miao: "What race is it?"

Zhao Chao whispered: "A branch of the Tatars, I guess..."

You Miao's heart moved, and he asked, "Does it have anything to do with the Quanrong people?"

Zhao Chao seemed a little surprised, and said, "No, why did you ask this suddenly? The Quanrong people are from the northeast, and the Tatars are from the northwest. They don't even know the language."

You Miao nodded, feeling a big stone in her heart, and said, "I'll try to get you out."

Zhao Chao immediately said: "Don't act rashly, this place is too far away from Yanbian, and they still have dogs, they will be caught up within a short distance."

You Miao hummed, and sat up reluctantly. The two young men were sitting with their backs against the wall. You Miao kept looking at Zhao Chao, and saw that although the young man was wearing a soldier's leather armor, he didn't have the slightest temperament to be a soldier. The armor was stained with a lot of blood, and there seemed to be a sword's edge that wanted to devour people hidden between the eyebrows and eyes. The coarse linen clothes under the leather armor were torn to pieces, almost naked.

"I'm asking you." Zhao Chao's words actually had an overpowering air, even though they were talking in a low voice, the indisputable tone made You Miao have to pay attention to him.

"Which caravan did you come with?" Zhao Chao raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice, "Is it the caravan of Youjia at the end of the year?"

"That's right." You Miao nodded hastily, Zhao Chao frowned slightly, and said, "The household department is in charge of You Deyou's family?!"

You Miao was shocked and said: "You know him? He is my cousin."

Zhao Chao nodded slowly, looked at You Miao's face in the light of the fire, and said, "You are from Jiangbei, right? Is your name You Miao? It really is you..."

You Miao was shocked: "Yes, yes! My name is You Miao. Do you know me?"

Zhao Chao stopped talking, just looked at You Miao, smiled slightly, and nodded.

You Miao didn't expect to meet someone who knew her family in this kind of place, and she thought that she probably wouldn't suffer this time.

Zhao Chao said again: "When the capital gets the letter, they will definitely send someone to rescue you, wait patiently, remember not to be reckless, we have to save our lives."

You Miao couldn't help nodding, knowing that the young man in front of him must have a lot of background, so he asked in a low voice, "What about you?"

Zhao Chao said: "You don't know me, my father is just a petty official. I went hunting with my friends, but I was caught, so don't mention it."

You Miao said again: "I have a dagger in my boot, shall we cut the rope first?"

Zhao Chao said: "I can't do it now, I have to wait for the opportunity first, don't worry, I will be able to escape."
