Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 701: All the barbarians are mobilized to avenge the young master
It's destined to be a rainy day.

It took less than an hour from light rain to moderate rain and then to heavy rain.

At the cliff entrance of Changqiu Mountain, the ghosts of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect wearing straw raincoats were all complaining about the horrible weather.

The heavy rain caused a layer of mist to rise on the ground. They lost all their shoes and socks and shivered uncontrollably. They finally made it until late at night. The rain got heavier and even their raincoats were soaked.

Risking a look towards the cliff edge, seeing the pitch-black valley in the rainstorm, these ghosts no longer had the interest to continue waiting, thinking... at this time, the barbarian girl still hadn't climbed up, and the possibility of survival was slim.

Feelings of fatigue surged up in their hearts. They looked at each other, adjusted their straw hats one by one, smiled knowingly, and all slipped away.

However, no one among them would have thought that it was just more than ten meters vertically below them.

In the stone cave in Changqiu Mountain, the situation of Huaman and Bao Sanniang became increasingly difficult.

cold…

There was not enough food or medicine.

Although the golden wound medicine can stop bleeding, it cannot treat internal injuries. Huaman's face became increasingly pale and extremely ugly...

Seeing this situation, Bao Sanniang could only hug Hua Man and try to make her body temperature higher.

Because both of their clothes were wet, after taking off their outer clothes, they were almost shirtless.

It is the body pressed against the body, obtaining a light warmth through caressing.

As for the barbarian's flower mane, she didn't mind and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. When the barbarians faced extreme weather, they would come up with all kinds of solutions and never considered propriety, morality, and integrity.

But Bao Sanniang always felt a little restrained. This kind of close contact... made her very sensitive. Even when she was with Guan Suo... she didn't feel such a huge sense of shame.

But she knows better how important Huaman's safety is to Bashu...

We can’t let anything happen to her. This is why Weizhi came here!

"Don't be silent, talk to me, anything is fine..."

Bao Sanniang was afraid that Huaman would fall asleep, so she patted her back and comforted her.

"I... I don't know what to say!" Huaman only felt that his body was getting weaker and weaker, as if there was a force that was constantly devouring him, dragging him, dragging him into the abyss...

Bao Sanniang knew that she had to cheer her up at this time. She tried to guide her, "Just talk about anything, talk about your parents, your tribe, your customs, and whether you have someone you like... By the way, I heard from my fourth brother that you raise wild beasts in captivity, and those beasts can also be used in wars. Is it true..."

After being deliberately guided by Bao Sanniang, Hua Man's attention was distracted a lot, and she also perked up a lot, especially when talking about wild animals. She excitedly shouted: "It's true, we have elephant soldiers, tiger soldiers, leopard soldiers, and even a legion that can control eagles. There is no distinction between men and women, everyone is a soldier..."

Once the conversation starts, there is no stopping it.

Hua Man talked about many things about the barbarians, including their customs and habits, as well as interesting things in the tribe. Bao Sanniang also talked about the customs, habits, and etiquette of the Han people. The two of them talked back and forth, and they got along better and better as they talked.

only…

When a barbarian custom was chanted by Huaman, Bao Sanniang opened her mouth wide for the first time with an expression of disbelief.

"Sister, you mentioned the Han people's marriage and inheritance customs, but we barbarians are completely different. In this regard... we are similar to the Hu people. Our custom is to marry the mother after the father dies, and to marry the sister-in-law after the brother dies. It is because of this... the strongest warrior in a family often has many women... and can also inherit many women. This is similar to what sister mentioned about the Han people having many wives and concubines!"

"what…"

Bao Sanniang expressed her emotion when she heard this with a huge "Ah" in shock, and then she interrupted immediately, "How can this be possible! This is against human ethics... How can a brother marry his sister-in-law after his death? And how can a son marry his mother? This... This is simply nonsense!"

"Why are you making a fuss?" Hua Man expressed her unique confusion at Bao Sanniang's surprise. "According to the etiquette of you Han people, your brothers are dead? Are you going to let your widowed sister-in-law live alone for the rest of her life and be bullied by others? Are you going to let your nephew be alone and helpless since childhood? As for... marrying your mother after your father's death, you are not marrying your biological mother, but your father's concubines. If you don't marry them, how can they survive without their father's protection? It's a problem to survive, what else can you talk about? Besides, they may all be raising my father's children. If you don't marry them, how will these children survive when they grow up? Will they be driven out of the tribe and wander around?"

This…

For a moment, Bao Sanniang finally understood why the barbarians were always organized into tribes, because the relationships within the tribes were too complicated.

Maybe this woman is still your stepmother or your sister-in-law.

But things change, and in a few years, he may become your woman!
This custom was unbelievable and ridiculous to Bao Sanniang. Her expression even changed from gentle to angry, angry at the barbarians' incredible custom.

But then, Huaman's words immediately dispelled the three views she had built up over the past decade.

"Sister? Don't the Han Chinese have a saying? If you love someone, you also love the birds on his roof... Since you love your father, you should also love everything he loves. Everything he protected throughout his life should also be protected by you after he is gone! Isn't this what you Han Chinese call filial piety?"

Uh…

This... Even though Bao Sanniang still felt that the barbarian customs were against human ethics, Hua Man's words left her speechless...

Especially that sentence - He who loves others also loves the crows on the roof of his house!
She seemed completely unable to refute these words.

Just as Bao Sanniang was hesitating, Hua Man's shocking words came out again.

"Sister, you are my benefactor, and we barbarians value repaying a favor the most. Often, if it is a barbarian man, he will do his best to repay the favor, and if it is a barbarian woman...she will repay the favor with her body..."

"What do you mean by pledge of body..." Bao Sanniang jumped three feet high in fear: "You and I are both women, how can we pledge our bodies to each other... Besides, I... I have a husband, he treats me very well, I... I can't leave him..."

"Is that so..." Huaman smiled, and handed her a gourd filled with water, and then continued, "Sister, I just said only half of what I said. In fact, if the benefactor of us barbarian women is a woman and we cannot marry her, that's fine... We often commit ourselves to the man of the female benefactor, and thus become sisters with you, sharing the same husband. In this way... we can repay the benefactor with our whole lives."

what--

what--

Because of her weakness, Hua Man's words were always gentle, soft and slow, but even these words were like thunder to Bao Sanniang's ears.

Explosion...

I originally thought that the barbarians' "marry the mother after the father's death and marry the sister-in-law after the brother's death" was enough to shock people.

But now... Huaman's words of "a barbarian girl repaying a favor" sounded like thunder and lightning in her ears, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

Explosion, this is quite an explosion——

However, Bao Sanniang would never have thought that such an explosive plot would happen...

Soon...it will happen to her.

The rain outside the cave gradually stopped. It was not known whether Bao Sanniang wanted to change the subject or because of Huaman's injury, they urgently needed to leave here and find better treatment.

Bao Sanniang mentioned the Flying Tiger Claw again, "Let's stop talking. The rain has stopped. We have to find a way to get up..."

This made Hua Man's expression darken for a moment. She pondered and said, "I'm afraid I don't have the strength to climb up with my sister now..."

This is a frank statement.

Yunnan is a mountainous region. Normally, she would have no problem climbing rocks higher than 10 or 20 meters, let alone these. But now...

"You can't stay here for long... I'll carry you on my back—"

Bao Sanniang's tone was extremely firm.

In fact, she has to...

If she continued to waste her energy halfway up the mountain, she might not have enough strength to climb up.

But... carrying and climbing, these words surprised Hua Man...she even questioned what Bao Sanniang said, thinking that they were a bit exaggerated.

However, Bao Sanniang spoke to her in a decisive tone.

"Believe me--"

Yes, believe her, she also grew up in Baojiashan.

Climbing mountains is what she is best at!

...

...

On the cliff of Changqiu Mountain.

A pair of sisters were lured here by a guide who wanted to cheat them out of their money. The guide wanted to rob them and even had bad thoughts. But who would have thought... this time, he kicked the iron plate with one foot, and the two sisters were very skilled and beat the thieves away directly.

This pair of sisters were Guan Suo’s second and third true beauties, Wang Tao and Wang Yue.

"Why are the people of Shu like this... Not only do they want to cheat us out of our money, but they also want to kidnap you, my sister? This is simply too unreasonable——"

My younger sister Wang Tao pouted her lips and sounded a little angry.

Sister Wang Yue sighed, "We are unfamiliar with the place, and it is inevitable that you and I will be deceived. At least... the horses are still there, and I just taught that fake guide a lesson. His life was broken, so I can breathe a sigh of relief."

"But..." Wang Tao's anger didn't dissipate at all, "But our destination is Chengdu, and Wei Zhi is most likely going there... Where is Changqiu Mountain now? How far is it from Chengdu? We know nothing... It's even a cliff. What if we meet a bad guy when we get down the mountain? Then it will be a long time before we can get to Chengdu."

Wang Yue knew what her sister said made sense, but what could she do in this situation? "In addition to the Han people, there are many ethnic groups in Shu, and they live together in a complicated way... It is not easy to judge who is a good person and who is a bad person... You and I sisters can only ask more questions and make more judgments... However, you and I are traveling according to the map, and we think... this place will not be too far from Chengdu."

Just when the sisters Wang Tao and Wang Yue were talking.

Suddenly, at the foot of the cliff.

There was a sound of "crack", and then there was a burst of rubble rolling down. It was a landslide after the rain... The rolling of rubble was the most normal thing... We were used to it.

But, just after the sound of rubble rolling down.

"anyone there…"

"Can you help me..."

A somewhat weak female voice came from the edge of the cliff. Wang Tao and Wang Yue were shocked to find that there was someone under the cliff, so they quickly stepped forward, but at a glance, they did not see any figure.

"Why? It's you guys?"

Instead, a completely new voice was heard, still weak, but what was stronger than the weakness was the surprise... deep surprise.

Following the sound, Wang Tao and Wang Yue looked in the direction of the sound, and it turned out that they could not see this place from their original position, because the mountain was sunken, so... this was a blind spot.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is... at this moment, in this blind spot of vision, a woman who is very familiar to Wang Tao and Wang Yue is climbing up with difficulty while holding the Flying Tiger Claw.

Although there was a shallow steep slope on the ground, it was not a climb without bare hands and her steps could provide some strength, but because she was carrying a dark-skinned woman on her back, it was quite difficult to climb up.

The reason he asked for help was because she couldn't climb up this last step no matter what.

"Bao San?"

Wang Tao shouted, and at the same time, Wang Tao and Wang Yue went to grab Bao Sanniang. With the efforts of the three people, Bao Sanniang and Hua Man were finally pulled up.

"Bao San? Why are you here?" Wang Tao asked curiously...

"What Bao San, call me sister..." Bao Sanniang also saw the person clearly. It was true that she was her sister, but at home... who was older and who was younger, this was what she insisted on most.

However, after climbing and carrying someone on her back, when she finally uttered the word "sister" stubbornly, she had already fainted...

Similarly, Hua Man, who was carrying her on her back, had already exhausted her strength and had fallen into a coma.

Obviously, this climb was not easy for both of them...

"Sister? What should I do?" Wang Tao panicked.

"What else can we do?" Wang Yue hurriedly went to help them, "Let's send them to a nearby clinic first..."

"There is no medical officer around here..."

"A farm... a farm is fine. Anyway... we need a place for them to rest. We can't let them stay here—"

...

...

In the south, more than a dozen tribes are connected together.

Under the blazing sun, the scimitars, spears, and maces reflected a cold and cold light under the sun, and the burly and rugged figures showed the barbarians' domineering and majestic military appearance...

A hawk descended from the sky, flapped its wings and landed, bringing a letter.

In the tribe at this moment...

The Barbarian King Meng Huo, his wife Zhu Rong, and a group of tribal leaders and cave masters gathered here.

These chiefs and cave masters each have their own strengths. For example, Wutugu, the most powerful general under Meng Huo and the ruler of the Wuguo Kingdom, is rumored to be invulnerable to swords and spears. He rides a giant elephant. It is no exaggeration to say that even Lu Bu may not be his match when he rides an elephant.

Moreover, he does not eat grains, but feeds on raw snakes and vicious beasts. His soldiers in rattan armor are famous for being invulnerable to swords and spears... They are the ceiling of combat power in the barbarian land.

In addition to him, there are King Duosi who is known as the wisest man in the Southern Barbarians, Jinhuan Sanjie, the Marshal of the First Cave, Dongdana, the Marshal of the Second Cave, Ahuinan, the Marshal of the Third Cave, and the cave master brought by Madam Zhurong's younger brother.

They are either brave, wise, or good at poisonous miasma... each of them has their own special abilities...

Of course, there is also the legendary King Mulu, who is skilled in magic, good at driving beasts, able to control wind and rain, and ferocious beasts. He sits in the third seat after Meng Huo and Zhu Rong, and obviously... his status is extraordinary.

On the contrary, Cheng Yu, the envoy of Wei, was only ranked at the bottom of the big tent, even below several unknown cave masters.

At this moment, King Mulu's loud voice could be heard from a long distance away.

"My king, if you ask us to bring troops, we will bring troops. If you ask us to station troops on the border of Chengdu, we will station troops on the border of Chengdu... But you can't keep playing tricks on us like this. The money and food spent by my rattan armor soldiers every day is more than thousands. The elephant soldiers, tiger soldiers, and leopard soldiers of King Duosi, Jinhuan Sanjie, and Dongdana, the daily food rations of those beasts alone are an astronomical figure... In my opinion, don't wait, no matter whether Chengdu is real or fake. Let's just go there, capture the city, occupy the land, and divide this huge Shu equally. Isn't that good? It's better than hesitating here and wavering..."

King Mulu roared loudly, but in fact, Meng Huo did not react at all. Instead, he showed a calmness that only an old cadre could have...

Eyes look at the nose, nose looks at the heart...

After a long silence, he said, "It's not that I won't attack, it's just that the time has not come yet... Wait a little longer, wait a little longer. My daughter has been gone for so long, I think there should be news soon."

at this time…

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty——"

Following a hurried voice, a barbarian soldier rushed in, holding a goshawk in his hand, and carrying with him the urgent report from Shuzhong.

"What could possibly happen? Why are you so anxious?"

Seeing these barbarian soldiers so nervous, Meng Huo seemed calm.

But as he took the letter from the barbarian, his expression froze, and his calm eyes suddenly became turbulent...

In fact, it's not just a raging wave, it's hatred... deep hatred.

Then, in just a short moment, Meng Huo's expression changed completely like a roller coaster... It became terrifying, horrifying, dark as water, and as if he was immersed in ten thousand years of ice!
"what happened?"

Zhurong and King Mulu asked in unison.

But...the answer they got was...

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"

The angry roar from the Barbarian King Meng Huo roared out, shaking the earth...

His eyes were bloodshot, and with this extreme expression, Meng Huo punched the table in front of him, breaking it into pieces...

Then, his extremely angry roar was heard.

"Send out the troops, send out the troops, mobilize all the barbarian troops, avenge Man'er, avenge your young master—"

"I will massacre the entire city of Chengdu. I will eat the flesh of that big-eared thief and Zhuge Liang alive. I will drink the blood of all the Han people in Shu. How dare these bastards kill my daughter? Wow..."

Hysteria. In just a moment, the Barbarian King Meng Huo became hysterical.
