I don’t know how long they talked, but the woman stopped asking, stood up, and walked back and forth in the forest.
The Khitan cavalryman who was tied to the tree said something to the woman. The woman nodded and said to Li Chengzhong: "He said that he only knew so much. He asked for a quick death and asked us not to torture him anymore. Give him
He's so happy."
Li Chengzhong glanced at the Khitan cavalry and sighed: "This guy has so much strength on his hands, he is still a man."
The woman pursed her lips and smiled and said: "This man is a bastard from the Khitan Army. These Khitan cavalry are headed by him... If it weren't for you... it would be difficult for him to speak."
"What... is he?" Li Chengzhong was stunned.
The woman said angrily: "Ta Ma is the retinue of the big man in the tribe. To get this title, you must not only be brave but also sincere and be an elite warrior of the Khitan people."
Li Chengzhong nodded. He still hasn't figured out how the word "him. mother" means "elite" in Khitan language, but at least he knows that this guy is the personal guard of a certain leader of the sudden attack department. No wonder it's so good.
Great strength.
The woman added: "Give him a good time. Warriors should be treated like warriors. It's against the rules on the grassland for you to treat him like this."
Li Chengzhong secretly sneered. The torture techniques he just used were just childish, and the more insidious tricks have not yet been used. The culture of the Central Plains has a long history, and the study of criminal names is extensive and profound. How can these prairie barbarians think of it? In his heart, women and Khitan
The cavalry were classified as barbarians, but they would not refute the Xiren woman face to face. After all, they were in the same trench. But he would not just kill the Khitan cavalry. Since the Khitan cavalry was "he
". Mom"'s elite, but they have to make good use of it. So far, Li Chengzhong knows very little about the Khitan people's military system, tactics and internal conditions, so naturally he wants to take this Khitan cavalry back for interrogation.
Li Chengzhong changed the topic and asked: "Isn't he from the Sudden Force? Why did he come to the border of Pingzhou? I remember that the Sudden Force seems to be besieging Lulongsai." When he returned to Pingzhou this time, he also looked at Zhou Zhiyuliu
The recent military reports given to him gave him a general understanding of the military situation at the border areas published in the military reports.
The woman hesitated for a moment and said: "They came here after me..."
Li Chengzhong was a little surprised: "You went to Lulongsai? They chased you from Lulongsai? Lulongsai is at least three hundred miles away from here!"
The woman nodded, but didn't want to say too much. She just said: "They have already sent people to inform the Khitan Division here. It is estimated that the Division will send people to start a containment on this grassland after dawn. Let's take advantage of the opportunity.
Let’s leave at night.”
Seeing her changing the subject, Li Chengzhong thought that this woman might have some important information about the Assault Department or take some important objects, but it involved the other party's personal affairs and he couldn't ask in detail, so he agreed and went to take the four
A Khitan war horse came over, and after thinking for a while, he reluctantly gave one to the woman: "If you are traveling such a long distance, one horse is not enough. Bring another one, and you can have some replacement foot power on the way.
"
The woman was not polite, so she tidied up a little, got on one horse, then took another horse, and started to drive through the night.
Li Chengzhong asked: "Where are you going?"
The woman said: "I'll go due north and go to the foot of Raole Mountain."
Li Chengzhong said "Oh": "It seems to be your king's tent over there. The road is quite far." As he said this, he handed over his own leather bag containing dry food and dried meat: "Eat on the way. Be careful.
!”
The woman took it silently, pondered for a moment, and asked, "What is Dalang's name? Which general of the Pingzhou Army does he belong to?" Her tone suddenly became a little solemn.
Hearing the meaning of her words, Li Chengzhong seemed to want to find an opportunity to thank him in the future, and said with a smile: "My surname is Li, and my name is Li Chengzhong. You can call me Li Dalang, please. I am currently serving under the military envoy Zhou Zhiyu. We will meet you tonight."
Fate, you don't need to worry about it." He spoke according to the way of thinking of later generations, and couldn't help but have a little bit of teasing in his words, especially the words "fate" and "it's in my heart", which were vaguely
There is a bit of ambiguity. But if the words are understood from a positive perspective, it also means that Li Chengzhong shows kindness without expecting anything in return. It sounds very high-sounding. This way of speaking was often used between men and women in later generations, but it is extremely common in this era.
It was rare. He didn't really refute it, nor did he agree with it. He said it until the woman's face turned red, but there was nothing she could do.
The woman thought about it over and over, but she couldn't answer it, so she could only say awkwardly: "I'll see you later!"
Li Chengzhong said "hmm", but felt a little disappointed in his heart. Not only was this woman beautiful, but she was also generous and good at shooting. Her heroic temperament also had a touch of nobility, which was quite heartwarming.
.Although his words seemed to be very free and unrestrained, and he said he didn't want anything in return, but if we just left here, I really don't know when we will see each other again, so I was still reluctant to part with him, so I had the courage to ask: "Yes?"
Now... I wonder how to call the lady?"
Li Chengzhong knew that it was not appropriate to ask the other party's name face to face, but he thought that the other party was a Xi person and would not have the etiquette and customs of a Central Plains woman. Sure enough, the woman hesitated for a moment and said: "My name is Salanna, if... the future comes
At the foot of Raole Mountain...if you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me." After saying that, without waiting for Li Chengzhong to reply, he pushed his legs on the horse's belly and rode away, leaving only Li Chengzhong's graceful and graceful back.
Li Chengzhong couldn't help but smile when he saw her almost running away.
Salanna ran for more than two miles as if running away before she controlled her horse to slow down. Her face was red and her heart was angry, but she felt that her heart was beating a little fast, and she couldn't help but secretly thought, this guy is just a little kid.
He was just a scout. I was afraid that he would do something, and he actually escaped in such a mess. Moreover... I was so angry for no reason...
She thought again of what Li Chengzhong had just said. It sounded righteous and awe-inspiring, but after thinking about it carefully, it was out of tune. She had been able to handle so many big scenes with ease, but tonight she was completely defeated by these words. She had no power to refute.
It's really annoying and funny. But... those words are really memorable. I don't know if he did it deliberately or if it was an unintentional mistake...
Then I thought of Li Chengzhong's method of punishing the Khitan Tao Ma, and suddenly my ears felt hot...
Not to mention the various small thoughts of Salanna's daughter's family along the way, but Li Chengzhong stood in the forest for a moment in silence, sighed, and tried to drive Salanna's figure away from his eyes. This is ancient times, there is no mobile phone network, etc.
Communication tools, and being in the grassland outside Guan where wars are everywhere, there is no "period of reunion"? Although he knew that her name was Salanna and she lived at the foot of Raole Mountain, so what? He could really leave Bailang Mountain
Junzhai, put aside the career that you have worked hard for, and go to Raole Mountain to find someone? Even if you find someone, what can you do? Who knows if she is already married or even has children. If she has no interest in him at all,
Can he really force himself? Although in this era, even if he forces himself, it is in line with the historical trend, and no one will criticize him too much. However, Li Chengzhong comes from a later generation, and he values love and forcing others.
He really can't do it.
Just treat it like a roadside encounter. Li Chengzhong forcibly put aside his distracting thoughts, turned around and tied the Khitan cavalry to a horse. Regardless of what the Khitan cavalry was mumbling, he stuffed a piece into his mouth and tore it off from his body.
The cloth strips around his ears were clean. He arranged them again, then took the prisoners and the three captured horses and galloped northwest.
After running for more than an hour, the journey was uneventful. Under the moonlight, Li Chengzhong saw the dark mountain shadow of Bailang Mountain. He carefully identified the direction and went around to Bailang Mountain Pass. He saw his sentry post. There were two people at the sentry post, and one person stayed behind.
Continuing to monitor, one person accompanied Li Chengzhong and rushed back to the military camp.
When Feng Dao, Jiang Miao, Zhang Xingzhong, Zhou Qidao and others heard that Li Chengzhong was back, they all rushed to the cave where Li Chengzhong lived. Li Chengzhong gave an overview of his trip to Pingzhou. When everyone heard that Pingzhou was about to launch a large-scale
They all breathed a sigh of relief as they received a large amount of supplies to support the Bailangshan Military Village. With these things, the Bailangshan Military Village has solved all the problems of surviving the winter. In other words, it can save troops for training.
After telling everyone to disperse, Li Chengzhong interrogated the Khitan cavalryman overnight. In the entire Bailangshan military camp, there were many people who could speak simple Khitan dialect. Except for Meng Xuxing and Jiao Chengqiao, they were both outsiders and could speak some Khitan dialect.
, many of the people outside the Pass have had dealings with the Khitan people. However, these people are not very proficient in Khitan. Most of them can only speak some daily life terms, and they are not qualified to interrogate the Khitan cavalry. The only thing
The person who was proficient in Khitan dialect was the second prince of the Tang Dynasty who led Khitan soldiers and horses in circles in Bailang Mountain and successfully escaped.
Fatty Wang Erxiao was a trader who trafficked goods. He had nothing to do after he came to Bailang Mountain Military Village. He didn't know how to farm, he couldn't be a soldier, and he couldn't do work. Finally, Wang Dalang called him over and helped feed him.
Feeding the war horses, and telling Wang Dalang about what he saw and heard when the tribes were trafficking goods outside the customs in his spare time, Wang Dalang gained a lot.
Now that he had a chance to use his skills, he became energetic and conscientiously translated in front of Li Chengzhong.
"I know that you are the Khitan people's 'other mother', but don't think that I will treat you kindly. The more 'other mother' you are, the more serious your sins and the greater the harm to us in the Tang Dynasty..."
"Li Chengzhong stared into the captive's eyes and said very seriously.
The fat man, Wang Erxiao, smiled and said: "Dutou, is Tarma. In Khitan language, it means retinue warrior..."
"I know that in the Khitan language, 'tama' means warrior. No need to repeat it." Li Chengzhong waved his hand impatiently, a little impatient with Wang Erxiao's interruption.
Fatty Wang Erxiao had no choice but to find a branch and write the word "horse" on the ground. Li Chengzhong was stunned, feeling embarrassed and amused at the same time.
"Uh... Okay, you are a tart, right? Then you should know a lot of things. If you don't tell me, I will deal with you in some very humiliating and difficult ways. I think you have already learned this.
Two. But to be honest, the moves I used to deal with you in the woods just now are very crude, and there are many more subtle methods that I haven't used yet. I'm looking forward to it." Li Chengzhong continued, and after speaking, he signaled to Fatty Wang Erxiao to let him go.
Wang Erxiao translated for the prisoners.
Anger, helplessness, frustration and many other expressions flashed through the eyes of the Khitan prisoner. Finally, he lowered his head and slowly said a word. Wang Er Xiao said: "Du Tou, he said you are... uh... wolf demon... he is willing
answer your question."
Is it a wolf demon? Haha, being a wolf demon is not bad, as long as you are afraid. Li Chengzhong did not mind the newly acquired title and asked: "What is your name? Which leader of the sudden attack department works under you?"
