"Let me ask you, can you understand what we are talking about?"
"You... what is your background, how do you understand what we say?"
……
"Ahem, back to the general, little old man, although I am a native of Yue, I have been doing business in Lujiang and Danyang for a while, and I have met many Han friends. They learned it from their mouths."
It seemed that he had expected Xu Huang's question for a long time. Not long after Xu Huang asked, this guy hurriedly answered.
"My Han friends said that my Chinese is very standard, just like ordinary Han people..."
"If it weren't for the bad times in the past two years, and my family's property was taken over by those unreasonable thieves, I would never have joined these thieves."
"Oh, sin, what a sin..."
……
Strange……
I have to mention one thing, as soon as the skinny man opened his mouth, Xu Huang felt a strange smell lingering around him.
Is it the other party's accent?
Or is it the timing of the other party's sudden appearance?
Or is it the kind of deliberate answer that can't wait, as if answering according to the script?
He didn't quite understand something.
Maybe it's just a kind of intuition. When the guy answered him, Xu Huang always felt that something was wrong, but after hearing what the other person said, he couldn't find any loopholes.
……
Chapter 98 A Strange Smell
Apart from some lameness, what the other party spoke was indeed official Chinese, but it was not standard.
……
After thinking hard for a long time to no avail, Xu Huang could only forcefully suppress that weird feeling.
He looked at the opponent's appearance, and realized that the height of only six feet did not pose any threat to him, so he relaxed his vigilance.
"Businessman in Lujiang, what you speak in Chinese is not very authentic..."
"I lived with my lord in Lujiang for two years. A Yue businessman like you... is rare, really rare."
Touching his chin and muttering something, Xu Huang looked at the thin man's face again, and subconsciously sighed.
……
To be honest, they are ordinary, just like ordinary Yue soldiers.
Except for a little hair on the top of the head, the rest of the features are the very standard Yue people's features, with sunken eye sockets, bulging cheeks, and a face that is more dry and thinner than the melon seed face and Chinese character face that are common to Han people.
"Forget it, since you can understand Chinese, then I will speak directly."
Shaking his head slightly, Xu Huang simply stopped thinking about it.
"We are ordered by the prefect of Lujiang to go to this camp and have important things to do."
"As long as you cooperate with us and find a way to bring me into this village later, and find someone for me, then after this matter is over, we can give you a way out for the sake of your contribution in helping me."
"otherwise……"
"Don't blame us for being rude."
Xu Huang's eyes narrowed, and his whole person became a little serious.
……
"No, no!"
"I was forced to join this camp, so why would I sacrifice my life for that Zulang?"
Maybe it was because of fear, the skinny man immediately smiled and expressed his attitude to several people.
That overly urgent look always made Xu Huang feel a little weird.
On the other hand, Sun Jian stepped back slightly with a complex expression.
……
Unlike Xu Huang, after he realized that something was wrong, although he had no evidence, he was subconsciously wary of this middle-aged thin man.
He was not familiar with these soldiers in Lujiang, so the soldiers who brought the Yue people back also came into his sight.
To be honest, today's incident made Sun Jian feel that it was a coincidence... It was as if he had decided on the script in advance and was acting.
How can there be such a good thing as giving pillows when you fall asleep?
Seeing Xu Huang who was a little impatient, Sun Jian hesitated for a while, then secretly left here, found some Lujiang soldiers who were still familiar, and discussed in a low voice about something.
Neither Xu Huang nor the middle-aged man noticed this little move.
After "reaching an agreement", Xu Huang immediately ordered people to find the Yue people he had captured earlier, pulled off a piece of clothing from them, and changed it for himself.
Afterwards, Xu Huang, who had changed his appearance and could be called a "new look", just followed behind the thin man, and the two of them walked towards the gate of the Shanyue camp not far away.
……
"After going down to the camp, you say that I am a member of your tribe. I have been suffering from a serious illness for the past few days and I can't make a sound. Don't talk too much, do you understand?"
"Don't think that we can't do anything about you after going to that stockade! I don't even need a hand to deal with you!"
"Do things for us honestly, don't think about making small moves behind the scenes, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Walking on the small road leading directly to the gate of the camp, Xu Huang nervously looked left and right.
As a leading general on the battlefield, this is the first time he has done such a thing going deep behind enemy lines.
Whether it was a strange experience or a large number of dangers lurking around, his heart beat a little faster.
……
"Don't worry, I understand, I understand everything!"
"Please also..."
"Hey, please help me to say something nice in front of those big figures in Han afterwards. It would be best if I could find a way out. I will be very grateful, great kindness, I will never forget it..."
Where Xu Huang couldn't see, the man lowered his head and shrunk his body even smaller.
He greeted Xu Huang with a low smile, and then, accompanied by his hoarse voice, led him to the gate of the camp.
Seeing two people popping out of the dense forest, the guards of the Yueren tribe who were guarding the gate were a little surprised at first, but then, when he found the leading man, his original shock and vigilance quickly changed. A... rather complicated emotion.
This made Xu Huang on the side couldn't help but look at that guy more.
"Could it be... this person still has some status among the Yue people?"
"Why did these guards look at him and didn't take the initiative to question him, just pretending that they didn't see him, and let him approach the gate of the camp?"
……
It was inevitable that he had some guesses about this guy's identity, but after all, Xu Huang was also a third-rate general at the peak, a second-rate general who barely made up for it, and he was from the most capable family among the generals.
Therefore, although he felt a little weird in his heart, he subconsciously ignored it.
Of course, it can also be said that this is a kind of strange self-confidence.
Soon, the close-up of the camp appeared before Xu Huang's eyes.
……
Looking around, this village is similar to the Shanyue camp in Lujiang before, and it maintains a semi-military and semi-civilian architectural style as a whole.
Even outside the stockade, Xu Huang can easily see that in the stockade, there are several streams of cooking smoke rising continuously at this moment——
This is the so-called pyrotechnic gas.
There is no doubt that there are many Yue people living in this stockade at this moment.
But then again, the current Shanyue, the main force has moved to live in the city of Jing County with Zu Lang?
Recalling some news about Shanyue that Lu Su and himself popularized before, Xu Huang inevitably felt a little strange.
But now that he has reached the gate, there is no time for him to worry about it.
"%#...%##%...#...%¥?"
When they got close to the gate, it was unknown whether it was because of their clothes or some other reason, the closed gate unexpectedly opened a small opening from the back, and put the two people directly into the tent.
Then, among the several people who were guarding the city gate, a tall and straight middle-aged man jumped over.
"#¥...¥¥#%?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, there was a series of old Yue people's words that Xu Huang could not understand.
……
"&¥%&...%¥."
"¥%&...*&#¥%#@@%!"
……
The same string of voices came back like an encrypted scripture, and when the middle-aged man beside him opened his mouth, Xu Huang felt a little bewildered.
But after these words, the guard who had stopped in front of them retreated back with such a complicated expression.
It seems that the other party has relaxed a little vigilance towards the two because of what the middle-aged man said.
It's just that before the guard left, he looked at Xu Huang with a strange and indifferent look.
Before Xu Huang entered the stockade, he unconsciously crossed the eyes of that man, and his heart suddenly became a little uncomfortable.
It's not a look like ignoring, but like...
As if with a hint of pity.
In an instant, an extremely bad premonition rose in his heart.
