Chapter 96 Herding horses (2)
Before the Xiongnu soldier had time to be astonished by the situation in the big ten, he was cut in the throat by the other person. He didn’t understand what was going on until he had died.
She quickly changed Lin Qing into the clothes of the Xiongnu soldier. After she changed the faces of the two of them, she threw the Xiongnu soldier on Lin Qing’s bed. Then, she helped Lin Qing walk to outside of the big tent.
The soldier at the door saw that they had just entered and came out so soon. He questioned, “What is the matter? Just now he was fine. Why did he become like this?” ‘
Zhao Zimu looked distressed and said, “Brother, he became ill. You also know that there is a kind of illness that the moment it acted, even the best hound of the herdsman on the grassland wouldn’t have a way with it.”
The surrounding soldiers immediately showed an enlightened look. They nodded in understanding and said, “So, it’s like that. Brother has worked hard. Let’s send him back to our tent quickly.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qing who was leaning on Zhao Zimu, trembled and looked fiercely at them. The few Xiongnu soldiers were shocked. They thought in their hearts that the illness of this person already got so serious. One of them quickly motioned his hand at Zhao Zimu and said, “Brother, please leave quickly. If you go later, he may not be able to be saved!”
Zhao Zimu repeatedly said yes and quickly helped Lin Qing leave.
When they reached a deserted place, Zhao Zimu immediately threw Lin Qing onto a horse. Then jumped on the horse and rushed to one direction.
Soon after, there was clamor, loud shouts, curses and horseshoes everywhere in the camp of the Xiongnu court.
Naturally, it was because Muke got to know about Lin Qing’s escape. The furious Muke ordered everyone to be mobilized and that they must get Lin Qing back and said that it would be fine as long as he was still alive.
This meant that Muke didn’t intend to be courteous with Lin Qing anymore. He must tech Lin Qing a lesson. Whether they broke his hands or his legs, they could complete their task as long as he still had a breath left.
However, all the Xiongnu had been out for a day, but they didn’t find a trace. Lin Qing and the person who took him away seemed to have evaporated.
Muke was furious and ordered everyone to search carefully. They must not let go of even a mouse hole on the grassland. Moreover, Muke would reward whoever who finds Lin Qing with thousand golden liang.
At this time, the two people who were searched by the whole grassland were waving horsewhips in a place not far from the Xiongnu court and herding horses for the Xiongnu court. Not far from them were several people wearing the same clothes and doing the same work as them.
A horsewhip was swung down. The horse’s wailing caused several surrounding people to look over. A man said loudly to Zhao Zimu, “I heard the horse wail. Halou, what is wrong with Zhaerda?”
Zhao Zimu quickly smiled apologetically at the man and said, “Brother Qimu, Zhaerda got a cold. So, he didn’t pay attention to his strength. You don’t have to worry about it.”
After the man made an “oh” sound and told them to pay attention to their bodies, he stopped talking afterwards.
Zhao Zimu looked at the horse who seemed to feel wronged and said to Lin Qing, “No matter how hard you whip, isn’t His Highness the crown prince still staying well in the Eastern Palace and Muke still sitting in the tent of the khan?”
Lin Qing humphed once. He didn’t spoke. Zhao Zimu approached him and dragged him to a brook. She took out a small packet of powder from her sleeve and gently poured it into the brook.
Lin Qing watched her and questioned, “What did you put in the brook?”
Zhao Zimu smiled, “Some drug that can make horses go crazy. I have already checked where Yue Yi, the others and the imperial soldiers were held. Now that the horses have drunken the water, they will feel the effect of the drug tonight. At that time, all the Xiongnu’s attebtion will be on here. I will go rescue them then.”
“I will go with you,” Lin Qing said.
Zhao Zimu smiled and said, “Are you sure?”
Lin Qing didn’t say anything, but he still didn’t let go of the hands clasped behind his back. Zhao Zimu took him to lie down in a bust, touched his brows and said, “Don’t worry. I will be back in no time.”
However, Lin Qing’s ugly expression remained unchanged. She sighed, “It doesn’t matter. Here is not your battlefield. You are not good at fighting with real swords and spears and charge and break through the enemy lines. But if it was on the court, no one can create difficulties for you.”
Zhao Zimu knew that the person in front of her was very frustrated and annoyed, but all was directed at himself. Presumably, the moment he got out of trouble, he would begin to produce clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with the other. By then, many people would want to kill him again with their saliva.
Lin Qing suddenly rolled over and pressed her under him. The grass that was tall as a half of a person, covered all of them. Lin Qing watched her with dark eyes. Suddenly, he smiled and said, “Where did she touch you?”
Zhao Zimu was stunned. Then, she softly shouted his name once and said, “That is a woman.”
To be honest, being kissed by Situ Ningan also made her scalp somewhat feel numb. However, he shouldn’t hold her responsible for this, right?
