Chapter 408 A surprise in the middle of the night
"A salesman who was looking at a stall in the market said that he once saw the prince talking to a younger brother named the leader of the Kelanglin tribe. After that, the salesman never saw the prince again. The salesman was also a member of Master Zheng. He used to live in a tent with the Crown Prince. After the Crown Prince and the others disappeared, he reported the matter to Master Zheng. However, the Crown Prince was not considered to be one of Master Zheng's people, so Master Zheng didn't take it seriously at that time. "
"By the way, Ma Bao once said that the prince has learned the art of disguise."
So, Aqi disguised herself and blended into the grassland, and then blended into the tribe?
However, there has been no news for more than two months. Even if someone is going to be assassinated, there should be some news, right?
"Master, what should we do next?" Chu Lin asked.
"Go to the Kelanglin tribe." Since Aqi has been there, there should be clues about Aqi there.
"Master, I think it's better for us to go to various tribes and kill the leaders of those tribes. If we make the noise bigger, Prince Chu will definitely appear."
"Do you think those leaders are vegetarians and you kill them when you tell them?" Xia Zihan rolled his eyes at her and said angrily.
If it was that simple, why had Chu Jingqi been silent for months?
You know, the Tatars are best at riding horses and fighting, especially the heir who succeeded the leader. He has been learning martial arts since he could walk, and his martial arts skills are no worse than Chu Jingqi.
Moreover, when girls here marry, they do not look at the other person’s family background or appearance, but based on how powerful the other person is, whether he is a warrior, and whether he is respected by the tribe.
On the grasslands, the herdsmen most admire warriors.
In the previous life, the Tartars invaded Shuimu City. It was not unreasonable. The Tartars were physically strong and could fight and throw down. Especially the Tartar cavalry army, they fought fiercely, fiercely and brutally, and they were life-threatening. They rode horses and darted everywhere. They trampled randomly and always caught them by surprise, causing the Dasheng people to panic. Every time they defeated more with less, if it weren't for the equally powerful soldiers brought by Chu Xuanyu, Shuimu City would have been captured by the Tatars long ago.
In the evening, after meeting with Ma Bao and others, Xia Zihan rested in the tent of the Zheng family's caravan, planning to go to the Kelanglin tribe early the next morning.
Who would have thought that the plan would not change quickly.
In the middle of the night, three black figures slipped into the tent where Xia Zihan lived. Xia Zihan's eyes suddenly opened in the dark night.
She saw one of the dark figures walking to her bedside, and then sprinkled something. Xia Zihan quickly held her breath.
The visitor reached over and wanted to pick her up.
Xia Zihan suddenly jumped up, waved his hand, and scattered the poisonous powder he grabbed from the pillow pocket. Before the visitor opened his mouth to scream, he swung the dagger and cut his throat, and the visitor fell to the ground.
At the same time, Chu Cong and Chu Lin also jumped up to take action. Chu Lin accurately inserted a dagger into the left chest of the visitor, while Chu Cong directly swung his sword away without even using the poison powder.
They caught each other off guard by killing each other.
Three people were killed in an instant.
Chu Cong rushed over with a worried look on his face, "Master, how are you, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Xia Zihan shook his head.
Chu Lin angrily kicked the black shadow on the ground, "Master, they are Tatars, why are they arresting us?"
Xia Zihan gritted his teeth, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent, "If I guess correctly, these three people are all Prince Dakru's people."
She has lived two lifetimes and has always been very sensitive to people's opinions.
In the morning, Prince Dakru looked at her with eyes full of determination to win. At that time, she had a bad feeling in her heart. She would decide to go to the Kelanglin tribe tomorrow. Firstly, she wanted to find the whereabouts of Chu Jingqi. The second is to avoid Daklu so as not to cause trouble to Zheng Wenting.
Unexpectedly, Dakru moved faster than she expected.
She thought that Dakru would take action after the meeting.
"Prince Dakru? Damn, you damn bastard, he actually dares to take advantage of the master. Master, we can't let him go."
What should I do if he cuts the grass without eradicating the root? In the future, he will try to take advantage of his master?
Better to kill him now.
"Master, please go find out which tent Daklu lives in. We..."
"We can't cause trouble to Zheng Wenting." Chu Lin proposed enthusiastically, but was seriously interrupted by Xia Zihan, "We can't put the Zheng family in trouble because of our own selfishness."
To kill Prince Daklu here, let’s not talk about whether we can kill him. Even if we kill him, Daklu is the son of the Tatar leader Khan. The Khan’s son was killed at the rally. The Tatars can let go. A caravan that passed through the prosperous dynasty?
In a fit of rage, Zhizhi killed all the people in the caravan in order to avenge Prince Dakru.
"Let's leave this matter aside for now and deal with them first."
Xia Zihan pointed to the three corpses on the ground. Chu Lin hummed, then walked to her bedside, opened the bedside bag, rummaged through a pile of porcelain bottles inside, took out a black porcelain bottle, and pointed it at Three corpses, pour a few drops of venom.
As soon as the venom came into contact with the corpse, it made a hissing sound, and then, a shocking thing happened. The three corpses were corroded by the venom and turned into puddles of water stains in just ten seconds. Then Xia Zihan sprinkled some medicinal powder, and finally even the puddles of water stains were reduced to nothing.
Except for the three girls who woke up and were still standing in the middle of the tent energetically, everything was the same as before the black shadow came in. However, there was a strange atmosphere in the dark night.
On the other side, in the largest tent next to the herdsmen's tent, Prince Daklu, who had been busy until midnight, was excitedly drinking milk wine, eating mutton, and waiting for the beautiful lady.
But after waiting and waiting, until it was almost dawn, he was full of wine and meat, and had not seen the arrival of the beautiful lady, Prince Dakru finally realized that something was wrong.
"Luda Khan." Prince Dakru shouted outside the tent, and a rough-looking man with black Chinese characters walked in, clapped his left and right arms, knelt down on one knee, and performed a prairie salute. "Great Prince Ann."
"Go and see why Kuru hasn't come yet."
Luda Khan saluted and was about to retreat, but Prince Daklu stood up irritably and said, "Forget it, my highness will go there myself."
Her mind was filled with Xia Zihan's beautiful face.
Such a beautiful woman, as beautiful as a fairy. The most beautiful woman in the grassland is even less than her. It makes people fascinated and itchy to watch.
This was the first time in his life that his blood suddenly became as hot as a burning flame.
That little woman, he was going to make a decision.
As soon as Xia Zihan and the other three lay down on the bed, they heard the sound of the tent being torn apart. Xia Zihan was startled and sat up suddenly.
I saw a man crawling into the scratched place. Xia Zihan's eyes flashed and he screamed, "Ah... help, a thief came in."
A dozen people from the tent next door were frightened when they heard the cry. They jumped up from the bed and rushed over.
Xia Zihan had already hid behind Chu Cong and Chu Lin, staring at the dark-faced Prince Dakru in horror, "You...what are you going to do? If you don't leave quickly, the guards will come in soon."
Prince Dakru looked around carefully and frowned when he saw no sign of the Kulu trio entering. Then he looked at Xia Zihan and smiled evilly, "Miss Xia, I just heard you I just happened to pass by and came in. That..." He pointed at the scratched place in the tent, "I didn't scratch it."
He actually shirked his responsibility and beat him up.
Xia Zihan felt angry, but she didn't want to fight with him on someone else's territory, so she didn't argue with him. She pretended to be innocent and asked, "Really?"
"I don't need to lie to you." He said it as if it was true. "How did you sleep at night? Are you still used to sleeping in tents? Women in the Central Plains don't like sleeping in tents, especially a beauty like you."
"I slept well. I didn't recognize the bed. I was having sweet dreams until you came in." Xia Zihan said timidly.
"Really?" Although there was a wicked smile on his face, there was a coldness deep in his eyes. It was obvious that he didn't believe her words. "It's all my fault for waking you up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Bao and his group rushed in.
At this time, although the sky was not bright, it was enough for Ma Bao and others to see clearly that the person in the tent was a Tatar, and judging by his clothes, he was still a Tatar with money and status.
"Who are you and why are you breaking into our girl's tent?" Ma Bao asked him angrily.
This is the place where his mistress-to-be sleeps, and this damn Tatar is so bold that he dares to break in.
"Get out quickly, or I'll be rude to you." If he didn't want to cause trouble, he would have rushed forward and killed the man.
You should be damned if you dare to blaspheme the mistress of his family.
Ma Bao had already thought about it. When he found the prince, he would file a complaint with the prince and ask him to crush the man's bones into ashes and cut his body into pieces.
"The tone is not small, but for Miss Xia's sake, my Highness will not care about you." Daklu said, staring at Xia Zihan again, with sincere eyes and serious face, "Miss Xia, Your Highness is the grassland The most handsome and handsome prince in the world is also the bravest warrior. His Highness admires you very much. I hope that Miss Xia can watch our grassland warrior competition in half a month."
Every time there is a gathering, the caravan will stay here for half a month, and half a month later, it happens to be the annual warrior competition in the grassland.
At that time, the most powerful warriors and the most beautiful women in all the tribes will participate, and the man who defeats everyone and gets the title of the first warrior can choose a girl he likes as his wife on the spot.
The girls who are not selected have the right to apply to be the wives of non-warriors.
Of course, this requires the warrior to agree, but the warrior does not agree. Even if you want to be someone else's little wife, it is still a daydream.
On the grassland, there are more men than women, and women admire warriors very much. This has created a phenomenon where warriors have many wives, while useless losers are single.
