Facing Huo Guang's question, Sang Yu was stunned on the spot. The water in the bucket rippled slightly. Huo Guang reached out and rubbed his shoulder.
"Young Master... Young Master... I..."
"Think about it. Besides, I just want to hear the truth. Your skin and face don't look like a Huns woman. I have bought you, and I have no enmity with you. As my maid, I want you to treat me
Tell the truth."
Qiuxiang got closer to Huo Guang. Looking from the water, white mist shrouded her, blocking her sight.
"Sir, I am not a Huns." Qiuxiang admitted.
"I'm from Buyeo."
"Fuyu people?" Huo Guang was a little surprised.
Fuyu was located in the northeast of the Han Dynasty. It was probably part of Jilin and the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. It was a relatively strong force in the northeast.
"How come you were sold as a Huns?"
"My family was originally from a noble family in Fuyu, but during the war between the Xianbei people and the Fuyu people, my father and mother were captured and killed. I mingled with the maids and dressed up slovenly to escape being treated as a slave.
, I didn’t expect that before I was brought back to the Xianbei tribe, this group of Xianbei people was defeated by the Han Dynasty. I was also sold to the Han Dynasty as a Huns prisoner, and I ended up here after changing hands twice.”
The Xianbei people belong to the Donghu ethnic group. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Donghu were defeated by the Xiongnu Maodun Shanyu and divided into two groups. They retreated to the Wuhuan Mountain and the Xianbei Mountain respectively. Both took the name of the mountain as their clan name, forming Wuhuan and Xianbei, which were ruled by the Xiongnu.
, so some customs and habits of Xianbei are similar to those of Wuhuan and Xiongnu.
Many times, people in the Han Dynasty did not distinguish between Xianbei and Wuhuan, and just called them Xiongnu.
This white and tender skin is naturally not the look of a hard-working woman.
"How did you get into the eyes of so many people?"
"When I was arrested, I was among the servants. When I sold the tooth shop, they only looked at my mouth. No one checked it carefully. When I bought the tooth shop, the shopkeeper did a careful inspection. The female shopkeeper thought I could sell it at a good price.
You just dressed me up."
"The female shopkeeper has good taste." Huo Guang's light words made Qiuxiang blush.
"What was your original name?"
"I no longer have my original name. The young master calls me Qiuxiang and I am Qiuxiang. I dare not have other ideas."
"Don't want revenge?"
Qiuxiang stood blankly. How could she not have thought about this problem? She saw with her own eyes that the Xianbei army entered her home and brutally killed her father, mother, brothers and sisters. Who wouldn't want to take revenge?
But she knew that her life had fallen to this point and she was lucky to be alive, so how could she dare to think about it.
"I dare not think about it."
"Is it hard to eat?"
"Ah? Master, I can eat. I can do any dirty work."
But she misunderstood Huo Guang's words. This suffering was not just a little bit of suffering.
Huo Guang stood up from the bucket. Water drops continued to fall from his skin. Qiuxiang's face turned red instantly.
"What are you doing standing still?"
"I...I...I won't."
"Can't you wipe the water?"
Qiuxiang reacted and immediately wiped off the water stains on Huo Guang's body, her face turning even redder.
"If you endure hardship, I will find you a master to teach you boxing and kicking. If you can learn some skills and follow me, it is not impossible that I will have the opportunity to help you get revenge in the future."
Huo Guang's words seemed to ignite the small flame that had long been extinguished in Qiuxiang's heart, and the movements of her hands froze.
She didn't understand why Huo Guang said this to her. If the young master fell in love with her, and now she was his maid, a slave girl at his disposal, as long as Huo Guang gave an order, he wouldn't even have to do it himself.
But Huo Guang didn't do anything to her. Instead, he asked her if she wanted to learn boxing and kicking kung fu. Why would a woman learn boxing and kicking kung fu?
She is a smart woman, and she has figured out the meaning. Wouldn't it be great for her, a woman without status, to be a dead soldier?
"Stop being stunned and help me get dressed." Huo Guang's voice interrupted Qiuxiang's thoughts.
Turn around and quickly dress Huo Guang.
Qiuxiang was surprised that Huo Guang didn't give her instructions on what she had to do, but asked her if she was willing. She didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Sir, are you telling the truth?"
"Is it about revenge?"
"Yes." Qiuxiang nodded heavily.
"You have to remember your enemy's name and appearance. If there is a chance in the future, I won't mind helping you."
Qiuxiang immediately knelt down and said, "Master, everything Qiuxiang will do from now on will be subject to Master's arrangements. I will go east if Master tells me to go, and I will go west if Master tells me to go west. I will never complain."
"Get up, I'm not wearing any clothes, and it's a little weird for you to kneel in front of me." Huo Guang said simply.
"In addition to some simple boxing and kicking skills, you also have to learn poison and assassination. Do things for me. I won't treat you badly in the future."
"Qiuxiang understands."
Huo Guang wanted to train a death warrior around him since he was a child. The events of the Salt Gang made him understand that as long as he has money and power, there will be people watching him. He can take risks for a little salt, but of course he will take risks for other things.
There will be more people, and he also needs to cultivate his own strength.
Qiuxiang was bought randomly by herself and has nothing to do with her. There is no spy arranged by others. She is fundamentally clean. She carries a grudge on her body, so she has the motivation to do things for her. She just made a light promise.
That's all.
In addition to cultivating Qiuxiang as a death warrior, Huo Guang also plans to establish a gang similar to the salt gang. Since he has made up his mind to work with the Sang family to expand pearl salt, it involves transportation and sales. It is impossible for him to be a mere gangster.
Commander, there are many things that require help.
And with help, your own power will develop better.
Ahao is his first helper. He is a little stunned, but extremely reliable.
At this time, in the Stick Gang, because the negotiation with Huo Guang broke down, Huo Guang did not buy salt from Zhu Youcai. He now regrets it. After all, the other party's background is too tough, and he offended the other party. Looking at Huo Guang's appearance, because of this trivial matter
, planning to fall out with myself.
In his opinion, it was a trivial matter, but in Huo Guang's opinion, it was not.
If you can be allowed to use this sneaky method to find out my details, and I don't make any counterattack, who will take me seriously in the future.
Zhu Youcai was now a little worried that Huo Guang would ask Huo Zhongru to wear small shoes for him because of this incident, so that night, he went to the county magistrate's house.
The county magistrate of Xiahe County is an old man over sixty years old. He looks very kind. His name is Zhang Yu and he is a local. Zhu Youcai came to visit him and he had no choice but to meet him.
When Zhu Youcai explained the matter, Zhang Yu said bluntly: "Shopkeeper Zhu didn't do this properly."
Zhu Youcai responded with some embarrassment: "County Magistrate, I know I am in the wrong, so I came to ask you to help me be a peacemaker."
"You go back."
"The county magistrate..."
"If it's about the things on the street, I can add a few words. I'm a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, and I came here at that age. How can I listen to an old man like me? It's not worth offending Huo Qubing's brother because of you. You
Let’s go.”
Zhu Youcai walked away dejectedly.
A middle-aged man with a white beard holding a thick wooden staff walked out beside Zhang Fa.
"Why are you interested in that child?"
"It is said that Huo Qubing is extremely talented and mastered Qi in just a quarter of an hour. I am a little curious whether his younger brother is also such a good talent."
"You have been with Zhang Qian on his mission to the Western Regions for so many years before being granted freedom by His Majesty. Don't harm yourself."
"Understood, our Sang family leader will be here soon."
