Obviously, the war horse chases the wild boar in the snow, which requires a lot of physical strength. Otherwise, it may not be so easy to subdue it.
Guo Dajing had already seen the person coming clearly. After thinking for a moment, he reached out and grabbed the hunting crossbow on his body and took it back into space.
Running close to him, Guo Dajing turned over and dismounted. To be precise, he should have rolled off the horse.
He held the reins with one hand, fearing that the horse would run away, and asked eagerly: "Uncle Zhao, are you okay?"
Zhao Qingshan sprayed thick white mist from his mouth and said angrily: "There's something wrong! You brat, you are as brave as the sky. I really don't understand what you are thinking."
While scolding, Zhao Qingshan put away the reins and tied a knot on the small tree, finally feeling relieved.
Guo Dajing smiled and looked at Zhao Qingshan's hands that were worn out by the reins. He felt warm in his heart and did not talk back.
This is a person who truly cares about himself and can protect himself regardless of life and death. You don't need to think about how dangerous it is to stop a frightened horse.
Zhao Qingshan didn't care about the injury on his hand. He glared at Guo Dajing, frowned and thought for a while, then said: "We can't keep this horse, it will be easily discovered. Let's clean up this place quickly and find a way to deal with the horse."
Guo Dajing handed the reins to Zhao Qingshan and turned back, preparing to clean up the crime scene.
Not far away from the two corpses of Jian Nu, Guo Dajing opened his eyes wide and slowed down his pace.
The "corpse" that had been dragged an unknown distance by the slaves was now moving, sitting up slowly and with difficulty from the snow.
Not dead?!
After Guo Dajing was astonished, he was not too scared and was still a little surprised, so he walked over.
There was dried or frozen blood on his head and face. This man had just woken up from a coma, his mind was not very clear, and his dull eyes moved slowly.
Guo Dajing first came to Jiannu's body, gritted his teeth and exerted strength, pulled out the crossbow arrow and put it in his waist, and then put it back when no one was around.
With three clicks, Guo Dajing took off Jiannu's fur clothes, approached the still confused man, and threw the clothes away.
"Put it on." Guo Dajing commanded briefly and solemnly.
Shaking his head slightly, the man seemed to wake up a little. He grabbed his clothes and wrapped them tightly around his body with some difficulty.
Then, his eyes were fixed on the body of Jian Nu that fell to the ground, with a look of surprise, and then he blinked slowly, not knowing what he was thinking.
This guy was no ordinary commoner. Guo Dajing glanced at him thoughtfully, then turned around and continued to clean up the scene.
With such a pair of eyes staring at him, Guo Dajing couldn't do any tricks, so he had to collect all the usable things and take them away first.
Some scattered silver coins, two pieces of cotton armor with holes shot by crossbow arrows, fur clothes, as well as scimitars, daggers, bows and arrows, spears...
At this time, Zhao Qingshan came over with two horses, frowning and looking at the guy sitting on the ground. The meaning flashing in his eyes was very complicated, including a cold murderous intention.
When Guo Dajing saw the man come back to life, the thought of killing someone and silencing him flashed through his mind, but he immediately denied it and threw it away.
When he saw that this man was not panicked by the corpse of a slave not far away, Guo Dajing realized that his previous idea was wrong.
Jiannu probably didn't just do the killing for fun. He probably realized that this person was suspicious and was busy chasing the injured wild boar, so he took the temporary measure.
Of course, no matter what the identity of this person is or why he was caught and dragged behind by Jiannu, it will not lessen Guo Dajing's hatred for Jiannu.
Guo Dajing was even more gratified that he was originally thought to be Han Chinese who were tortured and killed by the slaves, but now they survived and the results were better.
Zhao Qingshan hesitated in his heart, but was not in a hurry to take action. He tied the horses together and helped Guo Dajing pack up the loot.
Since we are trying to escape, these things cannot be discarded easily.
You can wear your clothes even if they are torn, and you can keep warm even if they are stained with blood. Maybe you can survive one more night in the ice and snow.
Weapons are also useful. You can defend yourself when encountering wild beasts. You can also fight against slaves and survive in death. For now, just hide them.
What troubles Zhao Qingshan is that these two war horses have a target that is too big to hide, and they have to be fed. But if they really want to escape, these are the best legs, and they are also great for carrying something on their backs.
"This horse -" Zhao Qingshan sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "What a pity."
Guo Dajing responded with a wry smile. He was also thinking about this. If he started to escape within a few days, it would not be impossible to overcome the difficulties. But he was not sure, and he was still thinking about the food in the manor.
There is really no other way but to turn a living horse into a dead horse! When Zhao Qingshan is not paying attention, they are all stored in the space, which is regarded as a reserve.
"Two heroes." The man who was sitting thought for a long time, heard Zhao Qingshan's words again, and finally made a decision. He handed over his hands to Zhao Qingshan and Guo Dajing and said: "I am grateful for saving my life, and I dare not deceive him in the slightest." .”
Guo Dajing and Zhao Qingshan turned their heads and looked at the man without saying anything, waiting for him to continue.
The man smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly and said: "In Zhou Qing, I was a small flag officer of the Dongjiang Army. I was ordered to sneak into the hinterland of the slaves to conduct reconnaissance, and to look for opportunities to encourage the Liao people to rise up and resist the cruelty of the slaves."
Guo Dajing and Zhao Qingshan looked at each other and felt that what Zhou Qing said should be true.
The Dongjiang Army was located in a remote location overseas, under difficult conditions, and was not strong enough to confront Jiannu head-on.
But like this, going deep behind enemy lines, gathering information, "inciting" the Liao people, and even leading some Liao people to rise up and gather people to "rebellion", he was very skilled and good at it.
Zhou Qing looked at Guo Dajing and Zhao Qingshan and continued to encourage: "These two heroes are superb in martial arts and have extraordinary courage. Why don't you join Chen in the Dongjiang Army and do a career? Wouldn't it be better than being enslaved under the rule of Jiannu?"
This should be the rhetoric that has been prepared long ago. It can encourage Uncle Zhao and I to at least escort him all the way and greatly increase the chance of getting out of danger.
Guo Dajing pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "Your-intelligence-"
Zhao Qingshan added and explained: "What information did you find out?"
Zhou Qing understood, and probably saw that Guo Dajing was not speaking well, and he didn't seem too concerned about it, so he replied: "I found out that Jianlu was preparing to attack North Korea. The army has basically been mobilized and there are not many people left in various places. "
In the winter of the sixth year of Tianqi, not long after Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne. He advocated attacking North Korea first, mainly to achieve two purposes: first, to get rid of the economic difficulties in the Jin Dynasty; second, to eliminate worries for attacking the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, after Pi Island was occupied by Mao Wenlong, it accepted refugees and deserters from all sides, and often sent troops to harass Houjin, which was also included in this expedition.
In fact, what Zhou Qing said was not accurate, or he did not know the higher-level news.
