After asking Zu Ji to go to the racecourse to inquire about the news, Zu Zhao took the rest of the people to bypass the horse market and follow the clues provided by the restaurant guys to the back of the horse market. This is an untended fruit grove, and standing outside the woodland, you can see two tents in the forest, and there are several figures moving around the tents.
Walking into the fruit grove, it was soon clear that the figures walking around were Hu people in strange costumes, some were washing clothes, some were squatting outside the tent to pack some nuts from the Western Regions, and some were packing a bag of beautifully carved animal bones. It is not difficult to speculate that these Hu people make a living by selling nuts, animal bones and other commodities on weekdays.
Before they could get closer, these Hu people quickly noticed the appearance of Zu Zhao and his party, and they put down the things at hand in an instant, and quickly gathered together. The three men hurriedly let the women and children hide in the tents, while they picked up sticks or knives and stared warily at the "ill-intentioned" aliens.
For Zu Zhao and the others, they were also wary, and several of them even involuntarily pressed their hands on the hilt of the sword at their waists.
"Which of you speaks Chinese?" Keeping a distance from each other, Zu Zhao asked lukewarmly.
The three Hu people did not speak, and looked at each other with indifferent eyes. In the tent behind them, there were several figures of female dependents probing their heads, all of them with worried faces.
"What do you ask, thief? There is no reason why you can't speak Chinese when you come here to do business. A grumpy kid stepped forward and scolded with disdain.
Hu Ren was still silent, but the anger in his eyes jumped on the paper.
At this moment, there was a sudden shout of nonsense behind the fruit grove, and after a while, a slender figure rushed from a distance. Not only did Zu Zhao and the others look suspiciously at the voice, but even the three Hu people looked a little flustered and turned their heads to look back. One of the Hu people couldn't help but wave his hand at the original person behind the fruit grove, and responded in Hu language, which could be vaguely inferred from the demeanor and tone of his speech that he meant to ask the other party not to come.
However, the slender figure did not stop, and still ran to the three Hu people. I saw that this person was a slender and graceful bearded girl, with reddish-brown hair draped over her shoulders, blue eyes like a pair of gems, and a wheat-like complexion that was even more exotic. Her face is very thin and pointed, but I have to admit that it is a beautiful face, even in late autumn, she is still wearing a thin exotic costume, and her willow waist is half exposed, which is very sexy and charming.
The only thing that spoils the scenery is that this bearded girl is holding a short scimitar in her hand, and her blue eyes are full of incomparable anger and murderous intent, which makes people dare not have the slightest frivolous thought.
Zu Zhao took a closer look at this Hu girl, judging from the other party's skin color, hair color and eyes, it should not be a Wuhuan, Xianbei or Qiang person, but a Hu person from the Western Regions. He felt a little strange about this, after all, it was a long way from the Western Regions to here, and if it was really for business, there were also border markets run by the government in the Xiliang area.
The three Hu people were very nervous about Hu Nu's appearance, and one of them quarreled with Hu Nu emotionally, making gestures for Hu Nu to quickly stay away. However, no matter what the three Hu people said, Hu Nu still had no intention of leaving, and stood firm, staring at the alien people in front of her menacingly.
"We're not here to ask for trouble, we're just here to inquire about something. Do any of you know Chinese? Zu Zhao didn't want to waste any more time, so he kept a calm tone and said it again.
"What the hell do you guys want to do! I'm not going to apologize, and I'm not leaving. I'm not afraid of you. After listening to Zu Zhao's words, Hu Nu said sharply in Chinese with a thick accent.
"I don't know you, so I can't apologize or apologize, unless you do something shady." Zu Zhao's tone was firm, although his voice was not loud, but he seemed full of confidence, and there was a kind of authority without anger.
"You, who weren't you the day before yesterday?" Hu Nu asked with a suspicious look on her face and a somewhat relaxed tone.
"It's not."
"So, what are you doing here?"
"Yesterday evening, a batch of breeding horses that had just been purchased from this place were robbed, and they were in Balipu. What do you know? Zu Zhao said quietly, staring at these Hu people like an eagle falcon, checking the changes in their faces. He knows in his heart that this is not the era of the legal system, as long as there is anything unusual about the Hu people, he can start immediately without any evidence.
Hu Nu frowned, and first turned around and talked to the Hu people in Hu language, and the Hu people reacted strongly, but they couldn't understand what they were saying.
"It has nothing to do with us, from the time we came here, we were here every day, we never left." After the conversation, Hu Nu turned around and said righteously.
Zu Zhao was silent for a while, and through his observations, he found no obvious abnormalities. These people did not have any injuries on their bodies, and they were strong and tall, if they really participated in last night's robbery, they would definitely leave a deep impression on Uncle Hong and them. In addition, he was somewhat worried about the Qiang people mentioned by his grandfather, but these Hu people and the Qiang people in front of him were not the same nationality at all, and there were also contradictions and estrangements between the Hu people.
But at this moment, a child of the ancestral family on the side suddenly pointed to the back of the fruit grove and shouted: "Eldest son, look, there is a horse there."
Zu Zhao tightened his mind and looked in the direction he was pointing, and there was indeed a figure of a horse shaking in the depths of the woods, and this direction was the direction that Hu Nu had come from before.
A few Hu people seemed to notice something, and immediately shouted loudly, waving the instruments in their hands to demonstrate to the children of the ancestral family.
Doubts flashed on the pretty face of the beautiful bearded girl at first, and then she immediately became nervous, and she warned Zu Zhao: "We have nothing to do with you, you are not welcome here, you go, you go quickly!" The
grumpy ancestor disciple before sneered coldly: "Hmph, this is the border of the Han Dynasty, you thieves are not welcome, how dare you be presumptuous?"
Zu Zhao ignored the Hu Nu, pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist, and walked towards the depths of the woods.
Hu Nu eagerly stepped forward to stop her, and in a hurry, she rushed out a Hu language and shouted at Zu Zhao, and then changed back to Chinese and said: "What do you want to do, we have nothing to do with you, you go quickly!"
Zu Zhao glanced at Hu Nu, the other party was not very old, but after the accumulated wind and sand drifting, he looked very haggard. The reddish-brown hair, which used to be beautiful, seems to be dry and dull because there is often no time and conditions to take care of it. He couldn't see any real ferocity in the other party, and naturally he wouldn't think that he was a murderer.
Even so, no trace can be missed these days!
He didn't answer, and walked to the back of the woods on his own.
Hu Nu was shocked and slaved, and suddenly pulled out the scimitar in her hand and pointed directly at Zu Zhao. Seeing this, all the children of the ancestral family came out of their swords and surrounded the generals, making a big fight. The three Hu men also screamed and screamed, wielding sticks and sticks, and guarded the Hu Nu to the left and right.
Whether it was the number of people or the quality of weapons, Zu Zhao's side had the obvious upper hand. Although the Hu people's voices were undiminished, if they looked closely, they could also find that their hands holding the bound hands were trembling, and their faces were more shocked than angry. On the other hand, the bearded girl, although she was very flustered, the anger and murderous aura in her eyes did not diminish at all, and she did not even take a half step back.
Zu Zhao raised his hand and motioned to the children not to do it for the time being, and he said to Hu Nu: "I said, I have no malicious intent. If you haven't done anything unseemly, there's no need to hide it like that. You should know very well in your heart that if you do it now, you will only suffer the loss, and as long as you alarm the government later, the disaster of prison will not be able to escape all of you.
After he finished speaking, regardless of whether Hu Nu understood or not, he continued to walk forward under the cover of the swords of his children.
When I came to the back of the fruit grove, I soon saw that the horse was actually a scarred jujube horse, fully equipped with reins and cushions. Several of the injuries on the horse's body were knife wounds, as well as several arrow wounds. It's just that all the wounds have been treated with grass and mud, and although the horse has lost a circle of fat, he still has the strength to stand up straight.
Not far from the horse was a tree stump on which rested a small clay pot and a small bowl. There were still some ground herbs left in the bowl, the same color and smell as the grass mud on the horse's body. Zu Zhao recalled that the two hands of the Hu Nu just now seemed to be stained with green marks, and it was obvious that the horse's injuries had been carefully taken care of by the Hu Nu.
Behind her, Hu Nu shouted angrily, "That's my horse, you are not allowed to touch it."
After seeing the horse's cushion, a disciple who followed behind Zu Zhao suddenly pulled his face down, and said with his best to control his emotions: "Eldest son, the pattern woven on the cushion is the emblem of our ancestral family, which seems to be the mount of Uncle Chen in the horse farm."
As soon as the words were spoken, the faces of the others changed greatly.
"Hu Gou, who has been stabbed with a thousand knives, dares to rob and kill my ancestral horse team, see if I don't cut you!"
"A thief is a thief, and today I will make you pay for your blood debt."
Several of the disciples were angry-eyed, and they were about to rush forward with their knives in their hands.
Hu Renqi was taken aback, he never expected that these people would do it when they said it. The women and children hiding in the tents also let out exclamations, accompanied by a few uncontrollable choks and weeping. Only the bearded girl reacted differently, just when the children of the ancestral family were about to move, she rushed forward first, wielding a scimitar and taking the initiative to attack.
The first few children of the ancestral family didn't take women seriously, but what could this delicate woman do?
The subjective underestimation of the enemy soon caused serious consequences, Hu Nu walked lightly, stepped forward with arrows, and waved the short scimitar in her hand like a spiritual snake. Before a child of the ancestral family could react, he only received two moves, and was slashed in the shoulder by Hu Nu, and was also kicked with him, and fell to the ground with his head.
