Before Liu Yu could scream in surprise, a soft little hand had already tightly covered his mouth, and another hand stretched out from behind. A gleaming dagger was pressed against his throat, and a very
A soft voice came over: "Don't say anything, or I will kill you!"
This person spoke very stiff Chinese and had a very vicious tone, but Liu Yu could tell from his voice that she was probably a young girl, but the dagger at her throat was genuine and very sharp.
,
Sure enough, a blond girl stuck her head out and said in a low voice: "Climb over a little bit and let me sit up."
Originally, with Liu Yu's skills, it was impossible for him to be restrained by a little girl, but he never expected that someone would be hiding in this "comfortable place". Having accidentally lost Jingzhou, and now being controlled by others, Liu Yu could only move his place obediently.
.
At this time, the cotton pad under his body was slowly opened, and another younger girl came out. It turned out that after Liu Yu and Bian Zhang slept in the tent last night, these two people came from nowhere.
The little girl took advantage of the guard's unpreparedness, quietly climbed onto the grain truck, occupied the magpie's nest, and took away Liu Yu's comfort zone.[
Many caravans were getting ready to set off, and there was a lot of noise around them. Except for Bian Zhang, who helped Liu Yu get on the car, no one noticed the movement of the grain truck. However, Bian Zhang was very smart. He saw a sharp knife on the holder.
He grabbed his elder brother's neck, and immediately without saying a word, he quietly pressed himself against the grain bag, fearing that his inadvertent movement would offend the little girl and hurt his elder brother.
The girl who was pressed by Liu Yu finally sat up slowly next to him, her face was ashen, and the hand holding the short knife was trembling slightly. She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to interrogate Liu Yu, and suddenly she heard
Shopkeeper Cui shouted outside: "Little brothers, sit still, we are about to set off!"
Hearing this shout, the girl holding the knife was obviously stunned. Taking advantage of this moment, Liu Yu's body bumped into her arms. The girl was caught off guard and fell backwards. Liu Yu stretched out his hand and grabbed her holding the knife.
With his right wrist, he grabbed the dagger, looked at it twice, and praised: "What a knife!"
Seeing that Liu Yu was out of danger, Bian Zhang jumped forward and pushed down the other girl who had just emerged from under the cotton pad. The two brothers had practiced martial arts since childhood and had to control the two young children.
The girl moved with ease, and the situation on the grain truck was instantly reversed.
While Liu Yu was playing with the short knife inlaid with gems, he carefully looked at the two little girls in front of him. He saw that they were both blond and blue-eyed. They were not from China. They were also sallow and thin, and their clothes were ragged.
Suddenly, Liu Yu pulled over the girl who was holding the knife just now and put the dagger on her forehead. The girl didn't know what Liu Yu was going to do, and her originally fair face turned red. Liu Yu was seen lightly touching the girl's forehead.
After blowing a gentle breath, a few golden threads fell down.
Liu Yu couldn't help but chuckle and said: "It is indeed a good knife for blowing and cutting hair! Tell me, where did you steal this knife?"
The girl was not very afraid. She glared at Liu Yu fiercely and said, "The knife belongs to me. I didn't steal it!"
Liu Yu sneered and said: "Who are you kidding? Every gem on the handle of this knife is priceless. Can you two little beggars own it?"
The girl growled angrily: "Who is the beggar? You are the beggars!"
Liu Yu looked at Bian Zhang, then looked down at himself. Sure enough, they all had the same sullen look. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Well, no one of us should laugh at anyone. Tell me, who are you? Why?
Hiding in our car, why did you plot against me?"
The girl tilted her head but ignored Liu Yu. Bian Zhang said angrily: "My eldest brother is asking you a question! If you don't tell me honestly, I'll beat you up!"
The other girl glanced timidly and lowered her head quickly, but no one spoke. Liu Yu suddenly raised the dagger, waved it in front of the girl, and said, "If you don't say anything, I will kill you."
Carve a word on your face. Well, it would be most appropriate to carve the word thief!"
"No!" Another younger girl hurriedly shouted softly, "She, she is our young lady, and this knife really belongs to the young lady."
The girl who was threatened by Liu Yu suddenly shouted: "Laura, shut up!"
Liu Yu suddenly turned around, waved the dagger in front of the girl named Laura, and said: "She refuses to explain, then it's up to you. If there is even half a lie, I will tell you a lie."
Carve a dog's tail grass on it."
It turned out that these two girls were Tatjana who escaped from Susa and her personal maid Laura. Laura did not have the courage like Tatjana to tell the identity and origin of the two masters and servants in detail.
Said it out.
After killing the driver in the woods that day, both Tatjana and Laura were covered in a stinky smell plus the smell of blood. Tatjana is a noble lady, and she loves to be clean. She has never made herself so sloppy.
However, she refused to say anything and continued on her way. It happened that there was a small stream at the end of the woods, and the weather was not too cold at that time. The two little girls looked at the people around them, and then put the two large bags of gold and silver softly on them.
Under the tree, I jumped into the stream to take a bath.
After washing for a long time, Tatjana still felt that she still had an unpleasant smell, so she stayed in the water until dusk. When they finally climbed ashore, they found the two bundles they had just placed under the tree.
Already gone.[
Tatjana couldn't help being shocked. She was not worried after losing her money. As a member of the Parthian royal family, Tatjana had seen too much money, and this small amount of gold and silver was nothing in her eyes. She was worried.
The question is whether anyone was peeping at me in the creek. If someone really looked at me, it would be very embarrassing for me as a descendant of the royal family.
However, it is useless to worry. If anyone has seen it, it has been seen. The top priority now is to continue running away. Tatjana's plan is to deceive her father into going to her uncle first, but she takes the opportunity to go north to Ctesiphon.
He went to see his grandfather Vologis to tell his story. Who would have thought that before he had gone far, he heard that there was a "horse thief" going on in that area.
This group of "horse thieves" acted very strangely, specializing in robbing rich people. Along the way, many rich people were killed and all their properties were divided. Even women and children were not spared. Although Tatjana is not considered a rich person now, even
She could be classified as poor, but she had lived in a noble family for a long time, and these "horse thieves" were obviously targeting the nobles, so Tatjana was a little scared in her heart.
At this time, Laura came up with an idea and said: "Miss, these horse thieves are going north. If we continue to go north, it will be bad if we are hit by them. We might as well go south.
Go to the Dahan Concession."
"Han Concession?" Tatjana asked in surprise, "What is that place?"
Laura smiled and said: "Miss, that is also in our land of Parthia, but it was temporarily rented to the Han Dynasty. I heard from them that under the governance of the Han people, it was already more prosperous than Ctesiphon, and the slaves were actually older
I just want to take a look. Moreover, as long as we get there, I will definitely not find it!"
Tatjana was most worried about being captured by Artaban and then forcing her to marry Caracalla. Thinking that since the concession was a place governed by Han people, Artaban might not be able to reach out, so she couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
Laura's opinion. Although she is smart, she is not deeply involved in the world. She has never thought that the more prosperous the place, the more paradise it is for the rich, and where are the two poor children.
In fact, they were overly worried. The group of "horse thieves" only opened a road and did not loot or kill. Therefore, there was no danger for them to go to Ctesiphon. Of course, they did not encounter any danger when they went south. It turned out that
The place where the "horse thieves" passed has been taken over by the Han army. Except for vehicles and troops passing by from time to time, there is nothing abnormal. What really bothers them is their money bags.
Fortunately, Laura also hid some private money and lived frugally along the way, and finally arrived at the Dahan Concession. They didn't have any money, so they didn't care. As a result, they encountered many soldiers and horses coming from the concession, and the local government responded to the caravans coming from various places.
The interrogation is very strict, and people like the two of them who can't tell their identities will be put in jail immediately if they are discovered.
Tatjana was really scared this time, and she didn’t care about being clean. She found a deserted place to smear some mud on her face, and she and Laura pretended to be ordinary people fleeing from the north. The locals watched
The two little girls were so pitiful that they did not report them and occasionally gave them some property.
After hanging out in the concession for a few days, Tatjana suddenly felt a little homesick. The concession was hundreds of miles away from Susa, and based on their current situation, they couldn't go back. And the people in power in the concession were all Han people, so Tajina
Gina felt that even revealing her identity would not help. However, her little brain was very flexible and she came up with the idea of hitching a ride with a caravan. As a result, she asked more than a dozen caravans, but none of them were heading north.
Laura asked suspiciously: "Miss, could it be that they all think we are poor and dirty and are unwilling to take us with them?"
Of course Tatjana didn’t know that this was because there was a war in the north, and the Han Dynasty court had blocked the passage to the north of the concession, but she thought Laura was right, rolled her eyes, and said: “The two of us are not very big.
, just take advantage of them when they are not prepared and find an empty car to hide in!"
The concession has developed trade and there are many caravans. They actually found a loophole and sneaked into the truck of a Parthian caravan. The caravan got in, but it backfired. Although this was a caravan from Parthia.
, but they were also not allowed to go north. Naturally, the merchants were not willing to sit back and do nothing, so they simply turned to the south to do business. The master and servant saw that the situation was not good, but they could not find a chance to slip out of the caravan. After a bumpy journey, they unexpectedly came to
Dawan. However, for the first time, the two of them were familiar with the road and got into Shopkeeper Cui's caravan again, and also chose Liu Yu's "comfort place".
After hearing what Laura said, Liu Yu patted his chest and said: "If you had told the truth, it would have been over. Don't worry, when we get to the concession, I will arrange for you..."
Before I finished speaking, I heard a loud noise outside. Someone said loudly: "Get out of the way quickly, get out of the way quickly, something big is going on!"
