(1/2)

Their speed was faster than before. Susu was a little overwhelmed by the bumps. Soon she couldn't help it and lay on the car window and vomited. While I patted her on the back, I looked out. There were many people in this tribe, including those who led the way in front and those who were at the bottom behind, and there were also a team on both sides of the team, surrounding us.

Qimuge and the others were next to our carriage, surrounded by ropes, and walked stumbled in the muddy snow, looking very miserable.

In this case, it is almost impossible to escape again

Yu Wenying, where is Yu Wenying?

This man agreed to escort me to Shengjing, but when something happened, he disappeared!

Susu scrambled her stomach for a long time, and finally she emptied her stomach. When she sat back, she felt weak. I wanted to ask someone to ask for some food for her, but the people outside ignored us at all. She said a few more words and threatened to drag us off the carriage. I didn't dare to speak anymore, so I could only hold Susu, who was twitching and trembling in her arms.

These people were physically energetic and fully adapted to the climate on the grassland. They walked for a whole day and stopped at about noon the next day because we met another tribe.

Because Su Su was too weak, she was almost asleep all the way. I barely woke up. When I heard the voices of people outside, I gently moved to the window. Just as I was about to see what was happening outside, the curtain of the carriage was lifted up.

Two people stood at the rear of the carriage and looked at me.

I looked at them with a big frightened eyes, and the bearded man with us pointed at me and said to another strange man: "She said that she is the woman of the Yan family."

Another big man looked me up and down for a long time, showing a contemptuous look: "Like a half-dead rabbit."

I knew this was a satirizing my weakness, but there was no need to argue with them. I took a deep breath and asked, "How far do we have to go?"

The bearded man only looked at us, without saying anything, put down the curtain and left.

I frowned, lifted the curtains beside me and looked out. There were many huge tents erected here, and there were fences for cattle and sheep. It was obviously a place where tribes settled, and our people were driven to the cattle and sheep pen and squatted.

Looking at those walking around, it was obvious that this tribe had more people than the tribe that captured us. People on the grassland all boarded horses for soldiers and dismounted horses for the people. If our team came over and met them, it would probably be a fierce battle.

After a while, someone sent two bowls of hot soup and unbuttoned the ropes on our wrists.

Finally I had some food. I was hungry, but I still picked up Susu first, put the soup bowl to her mouth, and fed her a bite. At first, she didn't react much, and only half of the soup was swallowed, and the other half flowed down the corner of her mouth, but immediately she woke up by the smell of food, opened her eyes and looked at me: "Miss."

I smiled and said, "You wake up, come and have some drinks."

She struggled and hurriedly reached out to hold the bowl of soup. I carefully helped her. While she was drinking the soup, I wiped her back and breathed.

A bowl of broth was quickly drunk. Although it was not enough to resist hunger, it finally made her feel a little more energetic.

I poured half of my bowl of soup to her.

When she saw this, she hurriedly said, "No, I don't want it!"

"Be good, obedient," I said, "I have been to the grassland and are more familiar with you than you, and I am not as uncomfortable as you. If you continue like this, you will not be able to hold on."

“…”

"Obe obedient, drink it."

Su Su lowered her head and looked at the blood marks that were rubbed out by a hemp rope on my wrist. She burst into tears and couldn't help but scold, "That Yu Wenying is really useless, causing the young lady to suffer such pain."

I was silent for a moment and didn't say anything.

At this moment, the beard shouted and walked over again, threw half of the cake for us, and said, "Before you arrive in Shengjing, you'd better not die."

This half of the cake is really life-saving. I tore up a small piece and soaked it in the soup, which is enough to fill my stomach. Only then did Susu be willing to drink half a bowl of soup I gave her. After eating two cakes, she felt much more comfortable.

After eating the soup cakes, I fumbled off the carriage with an empty bowl.

I was tied up for a long time and couldn't move. As soon as I fell down a little soft, I barely stood firm, I looked around, probably because I felt that there were many people in them, and it was impossible for us two women to make a fuss. There was no one guarding the carriage around.

I took the empty bowl and walked tentatively to a large tent not far ahead.

The people around were busy coming and going, but no one noticed me. As soon as I approached, I heard someone talking inside. It was obvious that the two big men who had just come to see us.

The bearded man among them said in the voice: "Anyway, the situation in Shengjing is already like this now. If you can't get through, you may not be able to catch up."

"Are you really going to go against the Iron Cavalry King?"

"Are you still afraid of him?"

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Hmph, his iron cavalry is indeed very powerful, but now, how many are standing on their side?"

“…”

"Don't forget that Prince Luo Shi is the master of Shengjing."

"... Of course we know that we all rely on the prince to achieve today. If the prince has his life, we will definitely go through fire and water."

"Now the prince is in Shengjing, we need help. Do you know that the Eight Heavenly Kings are old, and the past arrangement will no longer work. Sooner or later, there will be someone who will unify the grassland again. Who do you think this person will be?"

“…”

"Don't miss the opportunity."

I immediately understood that it was the bearded man who was convincing the leader of this tribe. In the current situation, everyone was indeed standing on the side, but the ones we met were all on Luo Shi's side.

I was frowning and thinking, someone behind me shouted, "What are you doing?!"

I was shocked and turned around quickly. The person in the tent walked out. Seeing me standing at the door, the bearded man immediately said, "What are you doing? Want to escape?"

I calmed down and hurriedly picked up the bowl in my hand: "No, we are a little hungry and want to eat something more."

The bearded man frowned and looked at me, and I hurriedly said, "If I want to escape, I won't run to this place, right?"

The big man looked around again, and said nothing. He took the empty bowl from me, and then directed the people behind him: "Catch her back and tie it up, and don't let her leave the carriage again!"

I was pushed back to the carriage and tied my wrists again, but thankfully, after a while they still threw another piece of cake for us, but the rope on my wrists was not untied again.

Susu and I each held half a piece of cake and swallowed it.

After a long time, the team started to advance again.

And this time, not only the tribe before, but most of the strong men in this tribe also followed us. I immediately understood that they were all going to win the capital. Judging from this situation, even if the Iron Cavalry King and the Iron Face King are both brave and good at fighting, the current situation is very unfavorable to them.

When these people arrive at Seungkyung, I'm afraid their situation will be worse.

Although we knew it in our hearts, we still couldn't imagine it and could only curl up in the carriage and continue walking forward.

And after leaving like this, it will take about ten days.

These people completely ignored how painful it was for those tied up. When Qimuge and others couldn't walk, they even drove them away with whips. Susu and I, although we could sit in the carriage, did not get much food every day. After all, it was winter now, and the food and grass of these people were a problem. This was very difficult for us who had to face the bad weather on the grassland. In the end, we were so hungry that we were dizzy and almost fainted when we sat in the carriage.

In the blur, I also felt that we passed several tribes along the way.

Almost all these tribes surrendered to Prince Luo Shi, but I also tried to overheard their conversation and knew that they had taken a detour on the way. Some tribes were biased towards the Iron Cavalry King and the Iron Face King, and they did not confront each other head-on.

It is obvious that people from these tribes are now gathering towards Shengkyo.

I can almost imagine that there are so many tribes and so many elite soldiers and generals gathered to win the capital. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to have an earth-shaking war.

The howling north wind outside seemed to be urging the arrival of such a great war.

|

The snow has been particularly heavy these days, and there are almost no other things on the grassland. Everything you see is white. Sometimes I worry that we will be lost in this vast snow field. Fortunately, these people seem to be particularly familiar with this road, and because they are in a hurry to reach Shengjing, they often walk at night.

On that evening, the wind and snow finally stopped.

The blizzards that had caused great pain to those who were rushing to the road. Susu and I sat in the carriage and looked at the thick layer of snow frost on the eyebrows and beards of the people outside, and we felt sad, not to mention that Qimuge and others had to walk in the snow, one step deep and one step shallow, and I was afraid that they would not be able to hold on.

Fortunately, I survived the most difficult time.

But what surprised me was that as soon as the wind and snow stopped, our team also stopped.

Strangely, they were in a hurry before, and the heavy wind and snow had never stopped. Why is the weather getting better now, but instead stopped?

I thought we were at the habitat of some tribe, but when I opened the curtain and looked out, it was just an ordinary water source, with no people in front and behind, but looking at the appearance of those people, I was already preparing to stay here and spend tonight.

Su Su didn't find anything strange, she just lay down by the window and looked outside, saying, "The sky finally clears."

"Um."

"Miss, can we go down and have a walk? My legs are going to be numb."

I thought about it and asked the person guarding us outside. The response I received was naturally not good. They treated us well along the way, but there was no freedom.

I took a look and soon set up a tent not far from us. The big men who seemed to be the leader walked in, as if they were discussing something, so I said to the guard: "I want to go and make it convenient."

The guard looked at me and said, "Wait a minute."

After saying that, he turned around, called a woman from the crowd, pointed at me and said, "Look at her, don't let her go anywhere else, let alone get close to the leader's tent."

“…”

I was a little depressed, but I didn't expect that they would defend me so strictly this time. I had no choice but to sway around outside and then return to the carriage.

Soon, they sent us two bowls of broth made with dried biscuits. The food was more than before. Susu and I were finally able to eat enough. After eating, our hands were quickly tied up.

But it seems that even if they settle here, those people are not at ease. I saw them sending several troops forward and continue walking, and it seems that they are going to explore the way.

Soon, it was dark.

I gently lifted the curtain and looked out. There were hundreds of tents stationed outside, and many soldiers patrolled all night. Just outside our carriage, two big men holding long halberds stood.

I didn't even have the chance to steal the free time to take a look.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh and slowly sat back on the mat. The tightly bound hemp rope on my wrist had worn out my skin and felt very uncomfortable. At this time, I could only place my hands carefully on my knees.

As time passed, Su Su had fallen asleep leaning against me, and I started fighting my eyelids and was drowsy.

Just when I was almost asleep, suddenly, there were two thuds outside, as if someone had fallen to the ground.
To be continued...
