Wang Shichong's ancestors were from the Western Regions, and his daughter was of mixed race, but inherited his blond and blue-eyed genes.
Hua Yun had never seen a Caucasian before, so he was shocked and shouted: "Monster!"
The girl hurriedly said: "General, I am not a monster." Her voice was clear and clear, like the cry of an oriole.
Hua Yun calmed down, pointed the knife at the concubine just now, and asked: "Is she Wang Shichong's daughter?"
The imperial concubine nodded repeatedly: "I dare not hide anything from the general."
Hua Yun then quickly walked over, stretched out his hand to hold up the girl's chin and looked at her carefully. Sure enough, she was different from the girl from the Central Plains. She seemed to have a different charm. He couldn't help but nodded and asked: "What's your name? How old are you?"
"My nickname is Yufeng. I am eleven years old this year." The girl's face was pale and she looked frightened. She said tremblingly, "General, don't kill me. I can do whatever you want."
"Nonsense!" Hua Yun grabbed Wang Yufeng's neck and lifted her off the ground.
Wang Yufeng's originally pale face suddenly turned red, and her hands were dancing wildly. However, Hua Yun was so powerful that she could not escape.
Hua Yun saw Wang Yufeng's eyes rolling up and she was gradually out of breath. Then he let go, threw her to the ground, and sneered: "Eleven years old? How can you get such a big pair of breasts at the age of eleven! Why don't you tell me?
Tell the truth, I will strangle you to death!"
Wang Yufeng was breathing heavily, and it took a long time before she could speak: "The slave family dare not deceive the general. The slave family is really only eleven years old."
Hu girls develop early. Although Wang Yufeng is only eleven years old, she already has fat hips, large breasts, a slim waist, and an exceptionally voluptuous figure. No wonder Hua Yun doesn't believe it. When Hua Yun saw the look on her face, it didn't look like she was lying.
Then he pulled her up and said, "Your father rebelled and escaped. Now you are my trophy, do you understand?"
Wang Yufeng almost went to see the God of Death just now, but now she was still frightened, so she could only say softly: "The slave family understands that the slave family is willing to serve the general."
Hu people do not avoid their children. Although Wang Yufeng is young, he has long understood the affairs of men and women. Now that he is in the hands of the enemy, it is better to serve a general than to be bullied by ordinary soldiers. And the person in front of him is better.
The general is tall, young and handsome. Although it is forced, it is not unbearable.
"Okay. Women with blond hair and blue eyes like you are really rare. I don't dare to keep them. They have to be dedicated to my second brother. However, you can follow me for the next few days." Hua Yun sheathed the knife, but then
He asked curiously, "Wang Yufeng, isn't the hair on your lower body also golden?"
Although the daughter of the Hu people did not have so much sense of shame, when a grown man asked this question in front of so many palace maids, Wang Yufeng blushed, but she did not dare not answer, so she could only whisper in a low voice: "The slave family doesn't know.
There’s no hair growing down there yet.”
"What! Then you are not a white tiger! No, no, I can't give you to my second brother." The ancients were superstitious. If a woman was a white tiger, she would be considered unlucky. Hua Yun couldn't help but turned pale in shock, but then she thought about it.
Wang Yufeng was only eleven years old, and maybe her hair had not started to grow, so she said: "Forget it, I'm afraid I can't find another girl like you in the Central Plains. From now on, let me check you once a month."
, If it’s not a white tiger, give it to the second brother. If, if it’s a white tiger, then sell you to a brothel!”
Hua Yun just threatened Wang Yufeng, and of course he would not actually sell her to a brothel. If Wang Yufeng was really a white tiger, I am afraid that no brothel would accept her. Wang Yufeng was frightened, and she would strip naked and stand in Hua Yun every month
Having Hua Yun inspect her in front of her made her even more embarrassed.
Knowing that Hua Yun had snatched Wang Shichong's daughter, Li Jing didn't say anything, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Chuchen said that Hua Yun would stay alone in the room with Gao Xiu'er for a long time every time he went to Changshan Village. Although
Zhang Chuchen and Gao Xiuer had a very good relationship, but when they saw them living together alone, they complained a lot, but it was inconvenient to persuade him. Li Jing hoped that Hua Yun could get married soon, so that Hua Yun would not have to pester Gao Xiu'er all the time, otherwise
If something really happened, he couldn't explain it to Liu Ziqiu. If Hua Yun really fell in love with Wang Shichong's daughter, it would be a good thing to have a woman by his side to bind him.
…
It would take a long time for the war in Jiangdu to reach Hexi. Liu Ziqiu didn't know how strong Li Jing and the others were now, which made him feel that they were beyond their reach. After all, they were too far away. Although Liu Ziqiu was anxious, he had to
Wait patiently. Yang Xuangan is the queen of the generals, and his abilities are far beyond those of Yu Wenhuaji and his ilk. The fact that he can still securely occupy Chang'an despite the reputation of regicide is a clear proof.
Under such circumstances, of course Liu Ziqiu cannot act rashly, but must quietly mobilize troops and horses. Either he will not fight this battle, or if he fights, he must ensure that one hit will hit. Otherwise, if it is leaked, even if Yang Xuangan will not target Liu Ziqiu for the time being,
Li Yuan of Luoyang will also step up his offensive after receiving the news and reap the benefits.
Two days later, He Chou brought the first batch of trebuchets to Xiping. The guy who could build such a perverted tool as the Ruyi Car was indeed not simple. The trebuchet he built was much smaller than the traditional trebuchet, and it could be disassembled.
What was shipped to Xiping was a cartload of parts. Even if Yang Xuangan, Li Yuan and other spies saw it, they would not understand what was on the cart. Looking at a reassembled trebuchet in the yard, Liu Ziqiu
Secretly admired. The use of new smelting processes can provide better steel, making the key components of the trebuchet more wear-resistant and more dexterous.
He Chou proudly introduced: "Lord, this trebuchet can attack a distance of five miles, which is nearly twice as long as before."
"Oh." Liu Ziqiu nodded and asked, "How effective is the attack? Has it been tested?"
For Liu Ziqiu from later generations, as a long-range strike weapon, the distance of five miles is not far, but too close. Even some advanced long-range sniper rifles can achieve such an effective shooting distance. However, the distance does not matter.
It's not what he cares about. What he cares about is whether the trebuchet can effectively destroy the city wall. In this era, tall and strong city walls often cause huge casualties to the attacking party. This is the most intolerable thing for Liu Ziqiu.
He Chou confidently said: "Within two miles, if the boulders thrown by the trebuchets hit the same place three or more times in a row, they can collapse the city wall!"
Liu Ziqiu nodded again and said: "In other words, the key is to continuously attack the same point on the city wall. Can this be done?"
He Chou scratched his head and said sheepishly: "This is a bit difficult."
"There are always difficulties, just find a way to overcome them." Liu Ziqiu gently patted He Chou's shoulder and encouraged, "It's already pretty good, much better than I imagined. By the way, I'll let you do it.
Is the other thing ready?"
He Chou hurriedly said: "The official has already brought it and is about to ask the lord to inspect it."
Liu Ziqiu said happily: "Okay! Bring it up quickly."
He Chou turned around and took out a long cowhide box. He presented it to Liu Ziqiu with both hands and opened the box. Inside was an exquisite carved bow.
Liu Ziqiu reached out and picked up the bow, and with a slight pull, the bow was already as wide as the full moon. It was effortless and he couldn't help but praise: "Not bad. How strong is this bow?"
He Chou was the best at flattering people. When he saw this, he praised him repeatedly: "My lord is really powerful! This bow should be about six stones in strength. If I had known that my lord wanted to use this bow, I should have made a hard bow with ten stones' strength."
, throughout the ages, no one can match it!”
Liu Ziqiu didn't know how powerful Liu Shili's bow was, and he was not good at using bows and arrows. He just felt that it took almost no effort to pull this bow. He was not sure whether it had the power of Six Stones, so he clicked
He nodded and said, "He Chou, please wait here for a moment. I'll come back as soon as I go."
When they came to the backyard, they saw Mu Duoli riding a horse in the yard. Seeing Liu Ziqiu, Mu Duoli jumped off the horse excitedly, pulled Liu Ziqiu and said repeatedly: "Master, are you going to leave? Stay here for the past few days.
It’s so boring here.”
She grew up on the grassland and had an active nature, so she was not used to staying in this small yard. In fact, this yard was already very big. In order to allow her to run horses, Liu Ziqiu ordered the demolition of more than a dozen houses. But
No matter how big it is, it is always so small compared to the vast grassland.
Liu Ziqiu laughed and said: "The troops and horses have not moved yet, and the food has to go first. Now that the food and grass have not arrived, what are you going to do so early? Are you going to be beaten?"
Mu Duoli's expression darkened, but she said coquettishly: "Master, then you can take this slave for a walk in the countryside. It would be good to even hunt a few hares."
Liu Ziqiu flatly refused: "No! Just stay here for me. If you dare to run around, I will drive you back to Mobei!"
Mu Duoli is very beautiful, but more importantly, she has a Turkic face. If she shows off in Xiping and falls into the eyes of a deliberate spy, it will inevitably lead to various speculations. Not only Mu Duoli, but also Liu Ziqiu
He and his two bodyguards, Ji Rentai and Daleng, have never left this courtyard.
After being scolded by Liu Ziqiu, Mu Duoli did not dare to refute at all and lowered her head honestly. Liu Ziqiu laughed and said: "Okay, don't be so depressed, look at the gift I brought you."
After saying that, he handed over the long cowhide box.
Mu Duoli opened the box and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Master, this bow is so beautiful! What is this bow called?"
In order to make this bow, He Chou put a lot of thought into it. Many exquisite patterns were carved on the bow and various gems were inlaid on it. It looked dazzling under the sunlight. However, He Chou did not tell Liu Ziqiu the name of this bow.
Liu Ziqiu thought for a while and said, "This is called the Divine Arm Bow!"
