Chapter 86 Girl, That's Not How You Do Business

Li Chongjiu ordered Wang Mahan to lead the refugees to stay where they were in case of any eventuality. He and Tan Zong separately approached this nomadic tribe quietly.

Tan Zong was sent to Baihualin to investigate, while Li Chongjiu came in the direction of the lake in Anguli Nao that Li Hu told him.

Li Chongjiu approached slowly with the help of the cover of the bushes.

I saw that on the top of the mountain, large tracts of white sheep covered the top of the mountain like white clouds, and they buried their heads in grazing.

The bleating of the lamb came again and again, bright and crisp.

At the foot of the mountain, tribal herdsmen set up yurts along the banks of Angulinao and surrounded them with tall carts.

Many tribal men are catching fish by the lake, while the women throw the fish caught by the men directly into the wok without scraping the scales, and cook them on the piled up sheep dung (Note [-]).

Li Chongjiu was secretly taken aback when he saw this, the tribe seemed to be quite large, at least a thousand people.

The herdsmen of the grassland tribes are almost all soldiers, not to mention young and strong men, even women, old people, and even children as old as six or seven years old.This is why it is said in the Historical Records that the population of the Huns was only a few hundred thousand, but there were more than [-] people who controlled the strings.

Therefore, in a tribe of thousands of people, there are at least a few hundred people who can ride horses and shoot arrows.

Such an opponent, unless it is a sneak attack, is not something that Li Chongjiu's thousands of refugees can deal with.

Li Chongjiu thought for a while and decided to get closer to find out the details of this tribe. Whether it was a sneak attack or not, at least he must understand which tribe they are, Turkic?Xi people?Or a man?

The 蜫 people should not be. The 蜫 people have white skin and blue eyes, and their hair can be white or golden, so people call them white 蜫.The skin color of the people here is obviously yellow.

Turkic people, it is possible, but this is not the Turkic sphere of influence, and Turkic people generally do not come here for nomadism from thousands of miles away.

Therefore, it is most likely to be the Xi people. You must know the five tribes of the Xi clan, namely the Master of Huge, Mohefu, Qiyan, Mukun, and Shide.

Li Chongjiu hid by the lake and continued to move forward. The hilt of the knife on his body was tightly hidden, and he continued to approach the tribe, unknowingly approaching the great lake.

Right now, the ice cap on the big lake in Anguli Nao has already melted, the water on the lake is gurgling, and the jackdaws are flapping their wings several times.

Other than that, the surrounding area was completely silent.

Li Chongjiu held his breath, and just at this moment, he suddenly saw circles of ripples appearing in the lake beside him, coming towards him.

Could it be a water monster?
Li Chongjiu held the handle of the knife immediately, but saw a girl come out of the lake, brushing her long hair back, and thousands of water droplets fell.

At this moment, Li Chongjiu was walking close to the birch forest by the lake, and this girl came out of the lake. The distance between the two was less than ten feet, and they looked at each other.

In an instant, the girl suddenly saw Li Chongjiu, but her expression was stunned.

Clang!
But Li Chongjiu did not hesitate, pulled out a short knife from his waist, and pointed at the girl's throat.The girl's flustered expression flashed away, she stared straight at Li Chongjiu, and asked softly after a while, "Are you Han?" The other party's Chinese was not standard, but his voice was very nice.Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "Don't make a sound, or I will be ruthless under the knife."

The girl nodded, and when Li Chongjiu saw that he was under the sharp knife, the other party was afraid, but still answered firmly, obviously she was a courageous woman.

Li Chongjiu immediately untied the leather jacket, threw it to the other party, and said, "Put it on."

Seeing Li Chongjiu like this, the girl showed a hint of surprise, but she didn't refuse.

As expected, the Hu woman was very open-minded. Regardless of the exposure of her body to Li Chongjiu's eyes, she walked out of the lake generously and put on the leather jacket.

The girl's white and round thighs were bare, and Hu people should often ride horses, so the curves of each leg are good.

Li Chongjiu glanced at the opponent's thigh and asked, "Since you can speak Chinese, you shouldn't have a low status in the tribe?"

The girl shook her head, her eyes revealed a hint of resoluteness, and she said: "You don't want to get anything from me, the woman of my family would rather die than surrender to the enemy."

"Very good, Shi Dexi, so you are the Shi De tribe of the Xi clan."

From the other party's mouth, Li Chongjiu got the answer he wanted effortlessly.

The girl's eyes widened, she pointed at Li Chongjiu, and said, "Okay, sure enough, what Ah Mu said is right, Han people are all treacherous!"

"You told me yourself!" Li Chongjiu said angrily, and the girl turned pale with anger.

But Li Chongjiu thought in his heart: The Shide tribe of the Xi clan has always been located in the easternmost position of the Xi clan, nomadic near the Wuhou Qinshui (Note [-]), bordering the territory of the Khitan tribe, why did it appear here.

At that moment Li Chongjiu said: "Right now you must go back with me first."

The girl hurriedly said: "Since you are not our Shi Dexi's enemy, why take me away, if you return me, my mother will give me a hundred sheep in exchange!"

"One hundred sheep!" Li Chongjiu was taken aback. This amount is not small, and he can spend a lot of money in the grassland.

Li Chongjiu wanted to know the details of this woman, so he bargained and said: "No, at least a thousand sheep and a hundred good horses are needed!"

"One thousand is one thousand! I'll give you the horse too." The girl said bluntly.

Li Chongjiu had a feeling of being defeated by the opponent. He planned to open his mouth like a lion, but unexpectedly, this innocent girl agreed without hesitation.

Doesn't she know that such a thief, Li Chongjiu, would feel that the other party's rare goods are more suitable to live in? Girl, this is not how business is done.

Just at this moment, the two of them suddenly heard a rush of horns from a distance.

The girl and Li Chongjiu both turned their faces away, and at this moment, they saw the wolf smoke rising into the sky from the south side of the hillside for a while.

The girl looked at the wolf smoke, bit her lips tightly with her teeth, a look of grief and indignation appeared in her eyes, and she clenched her small fists tightly.

Li Chongjiu asked: "What's wrong?"

The girl said angrily: "Those damned Khitan dogs, I didn't expect to keep biting and chasing here."

"It turns out that the Xi tribe in your room was defeated by the Khitan people from Wuhou Qinshui, so they went into exile all the way here."

The girl opened her eyes wide after hearing what Li Chongjiu said, and asked, "How do you know?"

"Guess."

The girl nodded and said: "Sure enough, what E-Mu said is correct, the Han people are treacherous and smart."

"Okay, apart from your mother, did your father tell you that in addition to being treacherous and intelligent, there are also kind and intelligent Han people?"

Hearing what Li Chongjiu said, the girl lowered her head and said softly, "Abba didn't tell me this, and he won't tell me in the future?"

Listening to the innocent girl's tone revealing a trace of sadness that is completely different from her innocent and romantic temperament, Li Chongjiu couldn't make fun of it any longer, and immediately asked: "Why?"

The girl's bright eyes suddenly shed several tears.She said: "The Khitan people took a fancy to our Shili Xibu, and sent troops to defeat us in the pasture by the Wuhouqin River. It fell apart, and Eminem and I ended up here."

"It turned out to be the princess of a tribe in trouble!"

Although Li Chongjiu got everything he needed from the girl of this tribe, he didn't feel any sense of accomplishment at all. Instead, he felt a little sympathy for the girl and the current situation of his tribe.At this time, the sound of horns on the grassland shook the heavens and the earth.

Rumble!
The whole hillside seemed to be shaking, and when they reached the top of the hill, the flock of sheep scattered in all directions, and a large group of cavalry in white wool felt appeared on the top of the hill.

"It's the Khitan White Rider!" The girl exclaimed in shock.
