Chapter 58 The General Loves the Country Girl (28)
Duan Xinghui also knew that there were people in the army who were plotting something bad. It was because Princess Jiahui was a woman in the army that the men were confused.
Duan Xinghui was concerned about her and went up to ask her, but the other party said bluntly: "What do you think will happen to me?"
Duan Xinghui's heart choked and he was very angry. He was just concerned about her, why did she look at him with such a vigilant look.
Princess Jiahui's feelings for him changed too quickly, causing Duan Xinghui to think that Princess Jiahui's love for him before was just a dream.
Duan Xinghui was disappointed and turned his horse around and left to protect the safety of Marshal Shen Feng.
The marching team was still moving forward. Ning Shu was a little exhausted after walking for so long. They had been marching for nearly ten days. During this time, Ning Shu's legs were rubbed and the skin was broken. Ning Shu was forced to do nothing. He actually sewed a soft pad by himself without any instruction and tied it to his leg. Finally, it didn't hurt so much.
Moreover, some people in the team seemed to be getting bolder and bolder. Perhaps they were slowly testing Ning Shu's bottom line. Some people had a crazy idea in their hearts, that is, to treat Princess Jiahui as something they could covet.
Ning Shu knew it, but she just sneered. For those who approached her tent, no matter who they were, she would beat them up.
It seemed that they had seen Ning Shu's cruelty, and these people didn't dare to wander around in front of Ning Shu's tent. Even if they passed by, they might be beaten up.
So Ning Shu's tent almost became a vacuum zone. Ning Shu was very satisfied with this. These people were just cheap. They only knew how to be afraid when he was cruel to them.
The further the marching team went, the more desolate it looked. Large tracts of land were not cultivated. Even some land planted with grain was ruined.
The Xiongnu Tartars treated the people on the border of the Great Yong Dynasty as fat sheep. When the wool grew long, they would come to plunder them. In winter, when there was no food, they would also come to plunder them.
Ning Shu was very indignant. The Xiongnu Tartars were tall and strong, and they didn't think about working, but only knew how to plunder.
Shen Feng also had a sad face, stroking his graying beard, looking around, sighing, and saying, "The people living on the border are really miserable."
Shen Feng had never seen how miserable the people who were abducted by the Tartars were. They were ragged, pale and thin, working for the Tartars, while the Tartars drank and whipped these slaves.
Ning Shu's heart was turbulent, and he wanted to fight these hateful Huns immediately.
The closer to the border, the heavier the soldiers' hearts became. The villages here were desolate, and basically no one could be seen. Moreover, the closer to the border, the more serious the desertification of the land.
Shen Feng found a desolate village to set up camp. The village was full of old, weak, sick and disabled people. The children who were not clothed had their lips turned purple due to the cold. They were covered with some rotten cotton wool, which was not enough to cover their bodies.
Seeing the army, the faces of the people in the village showed horror and despair. Even though these troops were not wearing the clothes of the Huns, they were still afraid.
When geese pass by, feathers are plucked; when soldiers pass by, it is like combing a comb. That is why these people are so panicked and confused.
Ning Shu felt sour and said to Shen Feng, "Marshal, we should not enter the village. It is not appropriate to disturb the people."
Shen Feng looked at these people who were so scared that their bodies were shaking. He ordered them to set up camp not far from the village and ordered them not to disturb the people.
Ning Shu sat in her tent and took off the padding wrapped around her legs. After such a long march, the saddle had worn her legs. Fortunately, there was a padding, so it did not get worse.
Ning Shu sprinkled some powder on the wound. Suddenly, her ears moved. She seemed to hear the woman's cry for help. Ning Shu hurried out of the tent. It was getting dark, and Ning Shu seemed to hear the sound of horse hooves.
Ning Shu stepped on the tree trunk and climbed up a tree. Looking into the distance, he saw less than twenty Huns riding horses on a dusty road not far away, teasing the woman who was running hard in front.
The men showed extremely cruel and playful smiles on their faces, with the interest of cat and mouse.
Ning Shu tried his luck, jumped down the tree, and walked directly to the largest tent. He entered the tent and said to Shen Feng: "Marshal, we found traces of the Tartars ahead. I hope you can send a team of soldiers to me."
Shen Feng heard this and asked the general in the tent: "Who is willing to go with the left forward."
Princess Jiahui's status is the highest except for Shen Feng, and these men are unwilling to be inferior to a woman.
Seeing these people's attitude, Ning Shu flicked his whip and said, "Follow me, or I'll whip you to death."
Duan Xinghui stood up first, and Shen Feng sent a team of nearly 100 people to Ning Shu to go there.
When they arrived at the destination, Ning Shu saw that these Huns had actually captured a woman.
A circle of Huns surrounded the woman, with wanton smiles on their mouths, mixed with the woman's panicked shouts and curses.
Seeing this scene, Ning Shu's head was about to smoke, and he rode over and whipped the man directly.
When the man was about to take action, he was suddenly whipped by someone, and it was whipped on the back. He immediately felt a pain in his body, and then he felt his body numb.
Ning Shu's whip directly injured the man's spine, and he lost his ability to move for a while.
Everyone was shocked by this sudden situation, staring blankly at the whip-swinging and injured person, with eyes full of amazement and fear.
Ning Shu pulled everyone away and straddled the horse. He bent down, grabbed the woman's arm, and pulled her onto the horse.
The woman stared at Ning Shu blankly, as if she was caught in Ning Shu's cold eyes.
The Tartars were so angry when they saw their spoils being taken away. On this border, the Huns were always invincible and had never encountered such a thing.
Ning Shu took off the red cloak on his back and covered the woman. Until now, the woman did not seem to react. It was not until the cloak was covered on her that the woman's body trembled and she lowered her head without speaking. After
a while, the team behind also caught up. Duan Xinghui saw the Huns Tartars in front of him, and he felt like he was meeting an enemy and was particularly jealous. Last time, he fell into the trap of these Tartars, which led to his position as a general being taken away.
The Tartars first spoke angrily in a language that Ning Shu could not understand. Now seeing so many people coming, one of them stammered in the language of the Great Yong Dynasty, "You... are not border guards."
The border soldiers of the Great Yong Dynasty were scared by them, and they saw that they all took a detour, so they could act recklessly on the land of the Great Yong Dynasty.
