Chapter 18 Ye Lingsha 3
Chapter 18 Ye Lingsha (3)
After crying for a while, Ms. Liu regained her composure, wiped away her tears, and solemnly said to Ye Lingsha: "Thank you sister for clarifying my doubts. By the way, I haven't asked my sister's name yet."
Ye Lingsha opened her mouth and replied: "My name is——"
"Eh--!" At this moment, the horse leading the cart neighed, suddenly stopped, and the women in the car swayed forward violently.
"What's wrong?" Ms. Liu asked urgently. Before she could finish her words, the door of the wooden cage was opened. A horse thief pointed at them with his whip, and then slammed the whip on the ground to signal them to let them out.
The five women landed on the ground one after another. In this convoy, more than forty women were ordered to come down. They supported each other and cuddled up, trembling in the winter wind, huddled together, and looked towards them in fear. Look around.
After identification by many people, this is Feng Sheng, one of the northernmost towns in Pingyao Continent.
This elegant place, often mentioned by frontier poets, now has dilapidated houses and a desolate atmosphere, but there are many horse thieves and horses from Qianzhou coming and going.
Surrounded by unintelligible Qianzhou words and the neighing of horses, the pale-faced women gathered tightly around him.
Then, two barbarians pointed their whips at them, and the women were driven about 200 steps into the town. They saw a row of horse thieves looking at them. Among them was a barbarian with unique attire, wearing a cuckoo crown and wearing a gold medal. The bell is decorated with a clang, a mink tail is inserted in the front, and a silver leather belt is inserted in the middle of the waist to tighten the waist.
What is surprising is that at the feet of this barbarian, there are actually various musical instruments and stationery, including harps, harps, flutes, flutes, pens and ink, picture scrolls, etc.
The women were bewildered, not knowing what was waiting for them.
I saw a middle-aged man suddenly walking out of the barbarian queue. He was short in stature and looked like a Song nationality. When he opened his mouth, he spoke with a Central Plains accent. He pointed at the barbarian wearing a cuckoo crown and said:
"This sir is the official who came down to select women for the Great Khan. You are lucky enough to have this opportunity. The King of Khan admired the culture of the Song Dynasty, so when selecting women, in addition to being beautiful, they also need to know our music, chess, calligraphy and painting. The good thing is that you have to be able to perform in order to be favored by our King Khan."
This Central Plains man, who was not sure whether he was caught or took the initiative to work for the horse thief, pointed at the many musical instruments on the ground and said:
"What would you do? Pick it out from here and give it a try. If it catches the eye of this lord, he will send you to the Khan King's golden tent!"
Upon hearing this, the women immediately stared at each other, trying to see something in her eyes, but they were all frightened.
This is because the barbarians acted rudely and drove them here to talk for so long. However, they were already exhausted in the prison car and could not understand the situation for a while. Moreover, being stared at by the row of murderous horse thieves, the women Everyone was timid, and no one dared to step out and pick up something first.
Yu Yao thought secretly in his heart: It is better to be sent to the tent of a big shot than to be ruined by a large group of ordinary horse thieves and tortured to death on the spot. Girls have not seen much of the world. If they don't think about this level for a moment, they may miss a chance of life in vain. Eventually, there must be something It’s okay to be the leader, so let’s take the lead by ourselves.
Yu Yao was encouraging himself and was about to take a step forward. Unexpectedly, the Central Plains man was impatient. When no woman came forward immediately, he randomly pulled the hair of the women, pulled out one, pointed at the instruments on the floor and shouted: "You, go and choose one!"
Yu Yao looked up and couldn't help but be shocked. The person who was dragged out was none other than the crazy woman who was in the car with them!
The crazy woman was in the crowd at first, motionless and relatively calm, so the people from the Central Plains pulled her out. But who knew that she didn't react at all because she didn't listen to the people from the Central Plains.
At this moment, she was pulled to the front. The woman looked up and saw a row of horse thieves standing in front of her. She immediately looked crazy and rolled back three or four steps. Then, she pointed at the row of horse thieves with a frightened face.
shouted:
"They eat people! They eat people!"
As soon as these words came out, the women were in an uproar, screaming and crying without stopping. The people from the Central Plains were furious when they saw this, and they pulled out their swords and were about to chop the crazy woman to death.
Seeing this, Yu Yao hurriedly wanted to stop her. She knew that it would be a small matter if one person died, but if blood really happened here, all the women present would be heartbroken and would no longer be able to perform any normal performance. In addition,
When the barbarians get angry, everyone will die together!
But, how can she stop it?
Even though Yu Yao had been through the accident for a long time, at this moment, he burst into tears!
Seeing that the Central Plains man squatted down and grabbed two handfuls, he grabbed the crazy woman, immediately raised his waist knife and chopped it down!
Yu Yao's heart stopped for a beat, and in despair, the knife stopped halfway.
A silver sword was pointed directly at the neck of the Central Plains man!
Yu Yao looked in shock. The person holding the sword was none other than the young girl who had stayed with them in the prison car for a day!
While everyone was staring at the Central Plains people trying to catch the woman crazy, Ye Lingsha stepped forward and picked up a soft sword from the "Qin, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting" pile.
"You!" the Central Plains man yelled angrily, but before he could say anything more, Ye Lingsha thrust her wrist forward, shook her sword, and slapped the Central Plains man's wrist directly, knocking the sword out of his hand!
Seeing that a woman dared to resist, the row of barbarians all showed stern expressions and stepped forward together!
Ye Lingsha glanced at the barbarian, but her spine was straight and she did not flinch.
Then, she shook her wrist, and the blade of the sword flashed with sword light, like a silver snake dancing wildly. At the same time, she took two steps back, and the soft sword seemed to be pulled out of a galaxy dotted with silver stars in her hand.
As soon as her retreat stopped, Ye Lingsha folded her slender waist down at an astonishing angle, and drew the soft sword in a circle around herself.
This sword was not swung at anyone, it just turned around and formed a silver sword circle, just like a huge drop of water hitting the lake surface, stirring up a circle of water lines.
The barbarian wearing the cuckoo crown who had been silent all this time suddenly stretched out his arms and blocked a row of barbarians behind him. No one dared to step forward.
After Ye Lingsha made a circle with her sword, she immediately lowered her waist, crossed her hands, and stabbed the sword along her thin leg towards the ground.
The Central Plains man only recovered at this time, and immediately rushed towards Ye Lingsha angrily, but as soon as he took two steps, the barbarian wearing a cuckoo crown picked him up by the back of his neck, and then threw him down.
On the ground!
The Central Plains man endured the severe pain and looked at the barbarian in astonishment. Then he looked at Ye Lingsha, who was just about to fully extend the sword blade along her body, and suddenly understood what the young girl was doing.
Sword dance.
Based on the material of the soft sword, it could not be used to actually hurt people in actual combat. It was placed among a pile of musical instruments and stationery just for people to pick it up and perform a sword dance.
At this moment, Ye Lingsha took another three steps forward with the sword circle. When the sword hilt was turned between her left and right hands, the sword circle continued, making the viewers want to cheer. When she closed the circle, she stabbed the sword straight into the ground, like a silver dragon.
Drinking water made her young face look heroic and incomparably beautiful.
Even a group of barbarians were stunned by the sight.
Ye Lingsha has never formally learned swordsmanship.
However, she had been watching the boy dancing with the sword on the top of Beishan Mountain.
So serious, so passionate.
One day, a hundred days, a thousand days.
Reflected in the gleaming sword light is the time she can never get back!
After watching the sword for a thousand days, she saw the sword's intention.
In the catastrophe of life and death, she realized the heart of the sword.
Even now, it is impossible for her to compete with people with real skills in swordsmanship, but if it is just a superficial show, she is enough to dance with a sword soul!
In front of such a girl, those women who were older than her stopped making noises, as if such a girl, who was much younger than them, taught them how to survive with all their strength.
But in the girl's heart, she was not performing for anyone at this moment. She was just immersed in her daily memories on the top of Beishan Mountain.
Practice swordsmanship, chat, rest, and return.
Those two boys were so good and worked so hard.
They don't deserve to die!
"bass--!"
The sword comes out like a rainbow, and the dance ends with all the strength.
After a period of silence, the barbarian wearing the cuckoo hat knocked his saber, followed by the hundreds of barbarians who had gathered around here and knocked their sabers. This was their way of cheering.
"What's your name?"
The barbarian "high official" asked in broken Leizhou dialect.
Name...?
Ye Lingsha covered her chest with her hands to calm down her breath that was disordered by exerting too much force. She thought: If she has to deal with horse thieves to survive in the future, she can't use her real surname. It will bring disgrace to her family.
"Gu Zizheng."
The girl shouted in a clear voice.
She stood up again, facing hundreds of barbarians, straightening her back.
"My name is Gu Zizheng."
The kite has already flown outside Beishan Town.
Therefore, she wanted to live for those two boys and see for them the scenery they should have seen.
until--
Meet in the underworld.
So far.
