Chitose words

Chapter 440 Suspicions of War
But in recent years, few people from the Northern Dynasties have dared to speak so wildly in public.

I think of the rumor that when the "Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal" was traveling in the Northern Dynasty to hone his sword skills, he went all the way south and wiped out all the vicious bandits who tried to intercept and kill the Tianchen merchants of the Southern Dynasty along the way. This still scares the Northern bandits on the official road between the North and South!

Who dares to say that people in the Southern Dynasties are weak-minded?
If the people of the Southern Dynasties are "two-legged sheep," then who are you, the people of the Northern Dynasties?

Do ants float?
Therefore, when the soldiers of the Southern Dynasties, who had been upright and upright for many years, heard the contemptuous and insulting "two-legged sheep" called "two-legged sheep" by the little girl in front of them from the Northern Dynasties, there was obviously a bit of anger in their eyes.

After all, most of the Beacon Fire Guards who followed Xie Zhao into the North were young and energetic. It was normal for them to get angry when someone pointed at their noses and cursed them.

But without the master's order, he could only hold back his anger and glare at the girl.

What's more, this little girl obviously has no martial arts skills, and they are a group of grown men who are martial arts practitioners. Even if the girl is wrong, it is always inappropriate to use force to bully others.

Xie Zhao burst into laughter and said in a sweet voice:

"But it just so happens that our Southern Dynasty Tianchen has a vast territory and rich products, which makes you people in the Northern Dynasty very greedy.

Look, isn't your 'little wolf' now captured by our group of 'sheep'? From this point of view, the 'wolf' may not necessarily win against the 'sheep'. "

Seeing the girl's stubborn and unwilling expression, she couldn't help teasing her:
"Tsk, tsk, you're still not convinced. I wonder if the girl is from the Yuwen Department?

Emperor Tuoba of the Guangling Imperial Court in your country connives with the Ministry of Yuwen to destroy the peace between the two countries and attack our Southern Dynasty frontier fortress capital.

It has been more than eight months now, and autumn is coming again on the grasslands. I heard that once autumn comes here, life will not be easy for the herdsmen.

The Southern Dynasty had a vast land and abundant resources, but the Northern Dynasty had limited resources. Now I am afraid that all your family assets have been wiped out and Langya Pass has not yet been conquered. I am afraid it will not be easy, right? "

Unexpectedly, these words angered the girl, and she said loudly:
"What nonsense are you talking about, you two-legged sheep! Our Majesty did not initiate a war because the gods from Northern Xinjiang came to this world!

It was obviously the profiteers of your Tianchen Dynasty who took advantage of us to relax our vigilance and took advantage of the large group of Yuwenbu cavalry to leave the Arruo grassland with the prince, and poisoned a group of nomadic herdsmen on our border on the pretext of trading.

Prince Yuwenbu ordered to attack Tianchen, tooth for tooth, eye for eye, that is what you deserve! You, a wicked person, are the first to complain before a wicked person? "

"What did you say?"

The smile on Xie Zhao's face disappeared.

Xie Zhao had been smiling before. Although the little girl could see that she was the person in charge of the group, she was not afraid of her.

At this time, Xie Zhao suddenly changed his face, his expression instantly condensed, and the previous joking disappeared.

When she lowered her face and looked solemn, an inexplicable pressure suddenly hit her face, which actually gave the little girl the illusion of facing the "Lone Wolf Sword Fairy".

She was frightened for a moment, but after a moment she still had the courage to say loudly:

"Why are you so mean? I'm right, you Tianchen people are obviously villains!
It was your profiteers who poisoned our herdsmen in Handongyu. If they dared to fight with our herdsmen with real swords and guns, we still don’t know who would die and who would live! "

Feng Yanxi's face also became serious. He looked at Xie Zhao, whose face was ashen, and said seriously:
"Little girl, don't talk nonsense, I, Tianchen, have always valued peace.

As for the merchants of the Southern Dynasties, they were even more cautious. When have they ever entered the Northland to do business without fear? How dare you poison and kill the herdsmen on your grasslands?

Besides, they are businessmen, and they only do business to support their families. Not only do they have no force, but they have no reason to do so. Don't talk nonsense! "

"what?!"

Unexpectedly, the little girl snorted loudly and disdainfully.

Then, she curled her lips and said:

"What? Your people dare to do it, but don't dare to admit it? This is the murder that happened outside Langya Pass!
Don't be complacent. When the two sword immortals from Fuji City, the Sword Immortal Tomb, take action, we will take down even Zhaoge City, not to mention just a single Langya Pass! "

Xie Zhao smiled lightly and said:
"Little girl, you have such a strong tone. Listen to this, do you know the two sword immortals from Hanyong in the Northern Dynasty?"

This little girl from the Northern Dynasty raised her chin and said very alertly:

"Whether we know each other or not, there's no need for you two-legged sheep from the Southern Dynasty to get into trouble. Don't even think about trying to trick me!"

"master?"

Feng Yanxi frowned, lowered his voice and asked softly:

"What this girl said is so categorical. I don't know whether this is a rhetoric deliberately exaggerated and spread by the Hanyong Dynasty in order to start a war, or whether there is some misunderstanding in it. If what she said is true."

Then this war became more and more complicated and confusing.

The rumor coming from Zhaoge City from Langya Pass was that Han Yong of the Northern Dynasty had rashly tore up the peace and sent the Ministry of Yuwen as the vanguard force to openly go south.

They repeatedly harassed Langya Pass, then stationed themselves on the north bank of the Bisobuda River, and continued to attack Langya in one go.

But according to what this young girl from the Northern Dynasties said, it was a group of people from the Southern Dynasties who took the lead in poisoning and killing the herdsmen on the grasslands outside Langya Pass under the pretext of business.

This triggered a letter from the Ministry of Yuwen to implore the Tuoba clan of the Guangling Imperial Court to grant permission for the Yuwenbu army to go south to avenge the herdsmen of this tribe.

Xie Zhao was silent for a moment and suddenly looked at the little girl.

"Little girl, you just said that the 'Lone Wolf Sword Immortal' Yu Wenxin left with a large group of cavalry. He was not in the Yuwen Department King's tent when the 'incident' happened.

Even though I am from the Southern Dynasty, I know that Prince Yuwen, the "Lone Wolf Sword Immortal", rarely interferes in the internal affairs of the tribe, so how can he be in charge of the tribal cavalry? Are you bragging? The little girl glanced at her and pouted:
"I'm not bragging. His Royal Highness rarely returned to Arruo Grassland before, and mostly lived in Guangling City or Fujian City.

However, at the end of last year, the prince was recalled to the royal tent by the prince and princess because the second prince was about to get engaged.

Let me tell you, you two-legged sheep profiteers did it on purpose, taking advantage of His Highness the Crown Prince's order to leave the royal tent and insult our herdsmen on the frontier! "

After hearing this, a group of Beacon Fire Guards immediately glared angrily at the young girl who made such nonsense!

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"We Tianchen people are not from Hanyong like you, how can we start a war for no reason?"

"The words were not spoken by your family. Do you have any evidence?"

Feng Yanxi also had a headache, he said:
"Little girl, who are you? What are you doing here at the foot of Goddess Peak?"

The Hanyong girl was speechless for a moment.

But the next moment, she rolled her eyes and said loudly and righteously:

"Who do you think I am? I'm just an ordinary little slave in the prairie tribe. What's wrong?
I'm here to try my luck. What if I find the Crown Prince and the team of cavalry under the Princess's command that he leads?

I just didn't expect that my luck would be so bad. I encountered enemies like you. What a bad luck! "

The "bad luck" Xie Zhao and all the Beacon Fire Guards were speechless for a moment.

Xie Zhao shook his head, gave a "tsk" sound with a headache, and said lazily:

"Little girl, if you keep speaking so loudly, then I will have no choice but to gag you."

The little girl from Hanyong immediately covered her mouth subconsciously. Then she probably felt that it was embarrassing, so she puffed up her chest and said proudly:
"You, you dare!"

Xie Zhao looked at her with a half-smile, and said lightly:
"'Little slave', do you think I dare?"

The little girl was speechless for a moment, but in the end she was still scared, so she muttered:

"What a 'little slave', he has a name!"

Xie Zhao smiled and said: "But you don't want to tell me your name, and you insist that you are just an ordinary little slave on the grassland, so naturally I can only call you 'little slave'."

"--you!"

The little girl's plump little face bulged with anger.

"What can't you say about your name? Listen carefully. I don't want to change my name in office or my surname in sitting. My name is Aruoya!"

Araya?
Xie Zhao and Feng Yanxi exchanged glances calmly.

They had never heard of a woman with this name, but judging from her demeanor and tone, it didn't look like the name was fake.

Thanks Zhaole.

"Can you change your name, but not your surname? I wonder what the girl's surname is?"

The little girl was instantly stuck.

She glanced at Xie Zhao with a ghostly look, and said in a pretentious manner:
"I am a little slave, how can I have a surname? However, if I serve the tribe one day, I might be given the honor of being given a surname by His Highness the Prince!"

Xie Zhao laughed and looked at the little girl who was talking about running carriages with interest.

It's rare to meet a girl whose words are less reliable than hers.

Feng Yanxi frowned and looked at Xie Zhao.

"Master, what should we do with this little girl?"

Originally, according to Feng Yanxi's previous plan, if the girl was really just an ordinary herdsman or slave girl, all he had to do was knock the girl unconscious and arrange for a Beacon Fire Guard to stay in place to guard her and provide them with an escape route after completing their mission. Just be alert.

Although the battle between the two armies was in full swing, both sides suffered casualties.

But they can't have no martial virtues and kill a little girl who knows nothing about martial arts.

But who knows, this girl is full of doubts, and her origins are not simple.

Now they learned from her that the causes of the war were very complicated, so Feng Yanxi hesitated on how to deal with this little girl.

Xie Zhao also had a headache.

If the girl who calls herself "Aruaya" is just an ordinary slave, knocking her unconscious and hiding her will not hinder their actions, but this Aruaya is no ordinary grassland tribe girl.
From the beginning, Xie Zhao felt that this war was happening inexplicably. After more than eight months of fighting, it now seems to be even more foggy.

This little girl named "Aruoya" must not be left here casually, otherwise she will cause them a lot of trouble.

Xie Zhao thought for a moment and then made up his mind.
