They rescued the girl in the village, but, unlike what Xin Wang Zhao Zhen thought, the barbarian elder who received them and could speak Chinese seemed to be very concerned about the girl who was rescued by Xin Wang Zhao Zhen and his team. Daughter's daughter, not happy.

Knowing that the girl was not forced to rob, but they sent it to the other party, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen was a little surprised, he said: "Your granddaughter was given to the government, what about your daughter?" After finishing speaking, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen frowned .

"I will take care of her, her mother..." After being silent for a while, the elder replied: "So don't worry, my lord, besides, my granddaughter is voluntary. Of course, we are very grateful that you can bring back my Bai Yue... "

When Xin Wang Zhao Zhen asked them to send out a guide to point out a shortcut.The other party was silent for a while, he stroked Bai Yue's hair and said: "Of course, if I don't want to stay and lead everyone to resist, I actually hope that I can be your guide. Compared with other people, I am more interested in this The forest is more familiar, I hope you can understand..."

Everyone was silent for a while, "Where's her mother?" But only Ji Qianqian asked, frowning.Xinwang Zhao Zhen saw the little girl's hand tightly gripping the corner of her father Ding Dakuan's clothes, and his heart moved slightly.Special Forces Crossing: Prince Song 228

The elder of the village sighed, and replied with some reminiscence: "Bai Yue's mother used to be the most beautiful girl in our village, and she was also the happiest girl when she married Ding Dakuan. Unfortunately, in the last 'suppression of bandits', In order to protect others... died..."

Xin Wang Zhao Zhen ground his teeth.Of course he knew what those officials and bandits were.In many areas, the army of official bandits regards the conquest of barbarians as suppression of bandits.

In fact, today, except in remote areas, you rarely see the most fierce barbarian army.

And the so-called 'barbarians' like the ethnic minorities in this village are just people like Commander Mo who, in order to satisfy his perverted hobby, kill people indiscriminately and take credit for it.

"Okay." Xin Wang Zhao Zhen finally nodded and said: "Since you have already decided, I naturally have no objection, but this matter is not a trivial matter after all, how long do you need to prepare?"

The elder of the village nodded and said, "My lord, there is nothing to worry about other issues. But I want to remind you that maybe you are not very familiar with the forest behind us. In fact, after entering autumn , This forest will become very dangerous. Especially when winter is approaching, the animals will become more aggressive because of hunger. In fact, I suggest... a detour and a long way..."

"It doesn't matter," Xin Wang Zhao Zhen interrupted him: "As long as you can pass us through the forest, we just hope to pass through the forest. As for the rest...we can take care of it."

The old man was startled, opened his mouth but said nothing.

The elder of the village thought for a while, although he had doubted whether these people had ulterior motives, but judging from the young girl's description, the other party had the power to raze their village to the ground, so there seemed to be no conspiracy The necessity of trickery.

What's more, they also destroyed a whole group of Han Chinese cavalry of those official bandits.

Thinking of this matter, the old man inevitably felt a little frightened.But at the same time, he was also worried and afraid. He was different from those young people in the village. His experience told him that Commander Mo would never let it go. I am afraid that revenge would follow soon after.

At that time, how will the village resist?

Therefore, he originally wanted to keep Xinwang Zhao Zhen and his party behind, at least for a few days.It's a pity that he didn't expect that he was stopped by the guards of the other party as soon as he opened his mouth.This made him involuntarily come up with an idea that this group of people didn't care about their lives, they just wanted to make a deal with them.

However, even with this deal, the old man weighed it up, and it seemed that they had no right to refuse.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sighed more deeply, looking a little helpless.

"I understand, my lord." The old man hunched over and replied helplessly, "I will make arrangements for my lord as soon as possible, please rest assured, my lord."

The letter king, Zhao Zhen, listened to these words, but nodded calmly.

Seeing the backs of the barbarian elders and his party leaving, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen finally felt relieved.But he still couldn't help sighing, why didn't he understand the elder's worry, but he didn't have time to stay at all.

Besides, it may not be useful to stay.

He didn't mind telling Commander Mo that he did all of this, but he couldn't guarantee whether the moody Commander Mo, that scum, would get angry because of it.Or it should be said that venting anger is almost inevitable.Special Forces Crossing: Prince Song 228

"Xinwang Zhao Zhen, can we help them?" Luo Yueer tugged at his sleeve.

"Unless they are willing to go with us, but even then we can't provide them with enough food. The only place nearby where we can buy food is the territory commanded by Mo, but Luo Yueer, do you think he will provide it to us?" Xin Wang Zhao Zhen asked calmly.

Luo Yueer's eyes flashed. "I'll stay." Ma Yueying sat on the side, she pressed the war halberd on her shoulder, and turned her head to look at Xinwang Zhao Zhen.

Xin Wang Zhao Zhen touched her forehead, and at the same place on Ma Yueying's temples and eye circles, black purple blue was spreading like a shadow.Everyone knew that she had nightmares every night and could hardly breathe, but the girl didn't say a word about her situation when she was awake.The medicinal power of that kind of medicine was indeed powerful, which made Xin Wang Zhao Zhen very helpless.

"You can't stay, Ma Yueying." He sighed and replied, "I don't even dare to let you go too far away from me. You have to spend a few months here, no matter for you or for these people It's too dangerous."

The girl gritted her teeth and snorted lightly, as if she didn't care about her state.However, what Xin Wang Zhao Zhen said touched her. She really couldn't stay, otherwise, if she lost her mind, these people would also die.

Ji Qianqian looked at everyone here, and also said nothing. Although she didn't like barbarians, she couldn't help but clenched her fists in the face of this scene.

At this time, the letter king Zhao Zhen stood up. He straightened his blue coat and let out a sigh of relief.Looking back, he said, "I'll go for a walk."

Everyone was taken aback.In their impression, this young prince doesn't seem like a person who likes to hang around with nothing to do, he must have something to do.However, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen saw that Cui Hu and Ma Yueying were about to follow subconsciously, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "Cui Hu, Ma Yueying, you stay here. Let me be alone, and you all have a good rest and get ready for the next step." Going north. We were spotted by the Jin people, and we must be on guard against their dark hands, so I chose the difficult forest. Therefore, I need you to rest well and protect our people."

Cui Hu and Ma Yueying were slightly taken aback.

Quiet alone?Does Xinwang Zhao Zhen have any concerns?What are you still worried about?

There is a custom among the barbarians, that is, they set the most important meeting place in the clan in the ancestral temple, in order to pray for the protection of the ancestors.

It seems that the spirits of the ancestors can experience each time with the living, deciding the moment of life and death of a tribe.It also protects the living.

However, at this moment, a dispute ushered in this sacred ancestral temple.

"I don't agree!" A young man shook his head and said, "Bai Yue was finally rescued, which shows that God does not want to see such a result, but now we have to send her back again, what is this?"

"If we don't send it back, we will all die!" A skinny middle-aged man said gloomily, "Of course, we don't want to, but we have no choice."

He gritted his teeth and said, "Haven't we seen enough life and death? Bai Yue's mother also left this world for the same reason, but all this is for the wish of others to live. a sacred duty to go down."

"Of course, if one day the tribe needs me to complete this task, I will say the same." He glanced at the young man and said, "Now we need to be persistent and calm. Don't forget that the tribe does not rely on impulse Hold on to this day."

"Ding Dakuan, Bai Yue is your daughter, tell me about it." He turned around.Ding Dakuan hugged his hands, but said nothing.

"Is there no other way?" The young man gritted his teeth and asked, "How can we give away our compatriots?"

"Why don't we go into the forest."

The elder shook his head. The crops in the field have not been harvested yet, and now the clansmen hiding in the forest can only face the end of freezing to death or starving to death.Special Forces Crossing: Prince Song 228

"Then watch Bai Yue go to die?"

"You can't say that. Commander Mo said that he wanted to adopt Bai Yue as his adopted daughter. Didn't he say that last time, as long as Bai Yue is sent there, not only will we not have to hide in the forest, but we can also become real citizens of the Great Song Dynasty..."

Someone in the crowd whispered.

Everyone was silent for a while, taking Bai Yue as an adopted daughter?Everyone who said this kind of words knew that they were just deceiving ghosts. How could it be possible for a dignified court general to adopt a barbarian.

What's more, it is a well-known fact that the gentry and aristocratic families of the Han people are so dirty.

"Aren't you ashamed to say such things?" The young man sarcastically said.

"That's the way it is said, but isn't this also an unavoidable solution. Or if the elder thinks it's worth it, we can fight those guys with real swords and guns, elder?" The middle-aged man snorted coldly.

The disputes in the ancestral temple gradually became louder and louder, and even spread outside the ancestral temple.

Xin Wang Zhao Zhen listened quietly, sitting quietly on a rock, quietly looking at the little girl with long hair like a waterfall squatting beside her.And the latter stared blankly at the leaves on the ground, his expression was calm, as if he hadn't heard the quarrel in the house...

"Bai Yue," Xin Wang Zhao Zhen finally asked, "You can understand what I'm saying, right?"

The little girl was slightly taken aback.She raised her head and looked at him with brown eyes, a little surprised.

"I'm...sorry, brother..." She replied with difficulty, but this time it was in Chinese.

"It doesn't matter." Xin Wang Zhao Zhen shook his head, and he said: "I know that at that time you pretended to be dumb and spoke a dialect we couldn't understand, in order to protect yourself. It seems that Bai Yue is a very smart child."

The little girl smiled slightly, sweetly.

Then she thought for a while, and then said: "Brother...Brother, I...instead of Dad, I will take you into...the forest, is that okay? I also know the way...to the forest... Mom, taught me..."

Xinwang Zhao Zhen felt his heart soften, but he sighed slightly and shook his head.

"Bai Yue, even if you take us into the forest, even if you are no longer here, that Commander Mo will still find us, do you understand?" Xin Wang Zhao Zhen said.

Bai Yue was taken aback for a moment, and soon her expression darkened.

"I'm sorry." Xin Wang Zhao Zhen said in a low voice.The little girl bit her lip.

But at this time, the quarrel in the ancestral temple became fierce.

With a loud 'bang', the young man slapped his hands on the table made of pine boards, his veins bulging. "I don't agree!" He blushed, and gnashed his teeth angrily: "Bai Yue is still a child, and we are men in the tribe, men, do you want to live by exchanging a child's life?" "You Can you do it?" "Can you? Don't you feel ashamed?"

The young man's roar echoed in the ancestral temple, and everyone looked at me and I looked at you for a while, but no one dared to respond.The middle-aged man hugged his hands and remained silent, while the elder just sighed slightly.He raised his head and blinked his old, cloudy eyes vigorously.

Everyone took a deep breath.

"Who is that?" Xin Wang Zhao Zhen asked, looking in the direction of the ancestral temple.

"Brother Wang Fu." The little girl replied in a low voice in Chinese, she blinked her eyes, and her voice was as clear as a silver bell.

Xin Wang Zhao Zhen nodded, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, the room in the ancestral temple fell silent for a while.

"Enough." The thin middle-aged man sighed, shook his head, and said, "Wang Fu, you've said enough, don't hurt everyone anymore."

"Uncle Tie." Young clenched his fists.

"It's enough, why don't we understand. But we are barbarians in the eyes of the Han people, do you understand? This is the fate we bear. Life and death are not up to us to choose."

"Wang Fu, do you still remember those clansmen who died in the forest?" the middle-aged man asked in a low voice.

The young man was slightly taken aback, he wanted to say something but couldn't pronounce a single syllable.He could only bite his upper lip tightly, raised his head and took a deep breath, blinking his red eyes: "Of course, my father..."

"He did it to keep you alive, son." The elder sighed.

"I know." Wang Fu said.

"Every one of us is." The middle-aged man replied: "So please consider our actual situation, as well as the purpose and hope of those dead clansmen."

"According to the legends of our people, the spirits of our ancestors are also watching us in this forest. They have struggled, shed blood and sacrificed from generation to generation, but it is not for us to bury all this on impulse."

"Do you understand?" he asked word by word.

The air in the room seemed to freeze, and someone was sobbing softly.

"I... understand." Wang Fu said with difficulty.

"But, don't we just live like this forever. What's the point? People don't just live like dogs, that's enough." Wang Fu turned his head and wiped his eyes, choked up and said: "If for Can you give up everything while you're alive?"

"At least there is hope in life." The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "If I can't see hope, Wang Fu, I at least hope to leave this hope to you."

"Elder, make up your mind." The middle-aged man turned his head.

A trace of sadness flashed in the elder's eyes, and he was silent for a moment: "Okay, but none of us have the right to let other clansmen die for us, I hope you can ask Bai Yue for her own opinion."

"But there is no such precedent before." Someone in the crowd said.

"That's because the people who made the choice before were all men in the clan." The elder lowered his eyelids and replied.Everyone is silent.

"But Baiyue is a child, what does she know? Are we going to leave the fate of a tribe to a child to decide? This is too hasty!" Someone in the crowd objected.

The face of the middle-aged man also turned cold.

"But now you also have to rely on a child to save yourself, don't you? Even if you have to, shouldn't you be ashamed?" The middle-aged man turned his head, looked at the dark heads in the room, and asked a little angrily.

"That's what you say, but there has never been such a precedent before. Besides, Bai Yue is the elder's granddaughter..." Someone responded in a low voice.

These words were like throwing a stone into the water, the crowd couldn't help but be quiet for a while, and Wang Fu, who had lowered his head earlier, reacted after being slightly startled.He turned his head like an angry lion, staring at the speaking man in the crowd.

Wang Fu could hardly believe that there were still people thinking this way at this moment.

"It's true, she's not your daughter, so can you send her out in exchange for your life?" Wang Fujiang roared angrily, "You bastard, you You simply don’t deserve to be called my clansman, now, get the hell out of here!”

His menacing gaze made the man pale and take a step back.

"You, what are you talking about? I'm just telling a fact, and it doesn't mean there are other things..." The man stammered and replied: "Besides, it's not impossible, you can guarantee that the elder is not like this." Think about it? Are you an elder?"

The elder glanced at this side, but said nothing.

Wang Fu clenched his fists tightly, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, about to explode.But at this moment, a small, weak voice broke through the silence in the longhouse: "Stop arguing!"

The door of the ancestral temple has been pushed open at some point.

Bai Yue, who was wearing a linen skirt, stood outside the door. The little girl clenched her hands tightly into fists, and shouted this sentence almost with all her strength.

"Everyone, stop arguing..." The tears in her eyes couldn't stop falling; the little girl looked at everyone with tears in her eyes, and sobbed into the long room: "I'm sorry, Dad, Grandpa, I'm sorry, it's all white. The moon is not good..."

All of a sudden.Except for the crying of little girl Bai Yue, the long house was completely silent.

The middle-aged man fell silent, he stood up silently, walked slowly to Bai Yue, knelt down and hugged the little girl and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry Bai Yue, we have troubled you, we really deserve to die."

The one in the middle of the crowd suddenly hugged his head and started to cry alone.

For a moment, everyone was speechless.

Only the eyes of the elders fell outside the ancestral temple.

The old man stood up slowly, bowed slightly to the letter king Zhao Zhen who was outside the door, and said, "I'll show you a joke, my lord."
