Chapter 117 Five Thousand Radishes

Accompanied by Qiu Liming, Shen Yuexi went to the square where the prisoners were held in the camp.

She didn't want to come at first.After thinking about it carefully, maybe I can take the opportunity to understand the thoughts of these captives, which can greatly reduce the troubles on the road.Then agreed to come down.

There was a large area of ​​darkness in the square, and there was a lot of people's voices. Many Xirong people sat dishonestly, stood and waved their hands, shouting something to the soldiers of Dayan around them.

Eight watchtowers surrounded the square from eight directions, and on each watchtower were fifty Yan soldiers, setting up their crossbows on the railings to face the crowd below, and their arrow boxes were filled with arrows.

These 400 people are Xiao Zhuo's soldiers who are proficient in the use of Liannu.

Below the watchtower, there are two rows of Xiliang cavalry. They hold large shields and swords to prevent the prisoners from attacking the watchtower.

A thousand households stood on the watchtower, holding a sword hilt, and threatened impatiently: "I am too lazy to talk nonsense with you shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Anyone who dares to step out of the circle will be shot on the spot."

This sentence had the opposite effect, and the prisoners were not calmed down at all, and more Xirong people stood up.

Qiu Liming whispered to Shen Yuexi: "He is the leader of the thousand cavalry left behind by Mei Shizi. He is familiar with Xirong language and volunteered to guard these prisoners. It seems that he has a dispute with the prisoners."

Shen Yuexi nodded. It seems that the thousand households of the Dayan Army are equivalent to the position of the commander of the Xirong, and they also command a thousand soldiers.

"General Qiu, I can't understand what these Xirong people are shouting." Shen Yuexi was a little curious.

"Hehe, these Xirong thieves use their own language, and they bully us and don't understand it." Qiu Liming smiled disdainfully, "They all speak the words of our Dayan people, and they did it on purpose."

Shen Yuexi and his party went up to the watchtower where Qianhu was.Tired of shouting, Qianhu fanned himself vigorously, turned his head and saw Shen Yuexi, put his hands down quickly, and respectfully saluted: "I have seen my wife in the end."

Before Mei Pu left, he specially ordered that seeing Shen Yuexi was like seeing Shizi himself.

Shen Yuexi raised her hand and said in vain: "Qianhu doesn't need to be too polite, I heard that the captives want to see me."

Qianhu nodded: "These bastards have been yelling and dissatisfied, insisting on seeing Madam. I was also tossed by them to no avail, so I asked the sergeant to invite Madam."

"It's okay, I'm already here." Shen Yuexi took a step forward, holding on to the railing.

Qiu Liming took a step forward and said loudly, "Madam is here."

The Xirong people who were yelling in the square stopped suddenly, and thousands of eyes looked at Shen Yuexi.

Under the light of the torch, she was too conspicuous.

In this barracks full of men in full armor, she was dressed in a blue dress and had an outstanding appearance. She stood out from the crowd.

After being stared at by so many people, Shen Yuexi became nervous again.Except for speaking to a group of village women in Xiaogang Village, she has no experience facing so many people.

This was watched by 5000 people, not counting the Sergeant Dayan around.

Holding the railing tightly with both hands, she forced herself to remain calm.

How did it happen? Obviously what I expected was to cook delicious meals for Xiao Zhuo in the kitchen.

It's not okay to turn around and run.Now she is not representing herself, she will speak to these Xirong people on behalf of Dayan Army.If you show timidity, wouldn't it be ridiculed.

I remember when I was in school, a certain teacher said that when I feel nervous in front of many people, I imagine everyone in the audience as carrots.She closed her eyes slightly, then opened them again.

I kept repeating in my mind: five thousand radish heads... five thousand radish heads.

After repeating it several times, she had an epiphany of a truth.

Either she has to be nearsighted and can't see clearly, or her imagination has to break through the sky.No matter how you look at it, there are five thousand living people below. After all, carrot heads don't have eyes.The teacher guessed that he had never faced so many people before, which was really misleading.

Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

Once the tense mood was relaxed, she felt that her body was not so stiff.Opened the mouth and said:

"I'm Shen Yuexi."

She knew that she would not have Xiao Zhuo's repressive aura no matter what, and there was no need to pretend to be cold.He said it in the most ordinary tone.

The captives were quiet for a moment, then suddenly stood up one after another, whispering to each other in words she could understand.

"This girl from Dayan is called Shen Yuexi?"

"So young, how is it possible?"

"At first I thought it was an old lady..."

Shen Yuexi felt a thousand bees buzzing in her ears suddenly, which disturbed her.It takes a lot of control to keep yourself from raising your hands to cover your ears.

It is true that there are too many people talking.

A Xirong man in the crowd said loudly: "Shut up and sit down, let me ask."

He seemed to have a lot of prestige among the captives. As soon as he spoke, the crowd fell silent and sat back to their original places.

Shen Yuexi looked at the Xirong man.He was seven feet tall and had a dark complexion.He was dressed the same as the Danmuji she had seen, and looked like a commander, but his left leg seemed to be injured, and he was using a wooden stick as a crutch.

"I, Commander Qiang Lin. Are you the one who designed the Liannu?"

The tone was rather disrespectful.

"Your name is Qiang Lin, right?" Shen Yuexi didn't care about his rough tone. She glanced at him carefully, turned around and whispered to Qiu Liming next to him, "How many commanders are there among the captives?"

"He's the only one," Qiu Liming glanced at the commander standing below, "He was hit by a crossbow arrow in his leg... Xirong people, like us, pay attention to status. His words still have a lot of weight."

Shen Yuexi understood, turned her head and said to Qiang Lin who was standing:
"Yes, I am Shen Yuexi who designed and manufactured the Liannu."

Qiang Lin was the only commander among the captives. If he could communicate with him, it would be much easier to manage the 5000 people.

In her heart, she was quite worried about the captives rioting.When it got to that point, there was no other way but to shoot them.She was fighting with Xiao Zhuo, hoping to resolve this matter safely.

"The one standing next to you, bragging that our Xirong is no match for you," Qiang Lin raised his finger and pointed to Qianhu Road next to Shen Yuexi, "I told him that if it weren't for the Liannu, we would have broken through before the Xiliang cavalry arrived. The pass."

Shen Yuexi was silent for a moment after hearing this.

She also admitted Qiang Lin's statement in her heart.If there is no continuous crossbow, it is really difficult for 500 people to withstand the attack of 1 people.

It's just that if that's the case, it's tantamount to belittle Xiao Zhuo and pull up the crossbow.

She was busy with research before, and had never been in a relationship, nor had she studied related psychology.But she instinctively felt that belittling her husband in front of outsiders was definitely a stupid move.

Besides, if there is no Liannu, Xiao Zhuo will naturally think of other ways to fight.How can 500 people directly confront an army of [-].

Keeping a calm tone, Shen Yuexi replied:

"My husband, Xiao Zhuo, is invincible in battle and invincible in attack. Even without the help of Liannu, you will not be able to win."

Qiang Lindao: "We have heard about the power of Prince Dayan. But in the first fight, he got the help of Liannu and the reinforcements of Xiliang cavalry. If there is another battle in the future, we will see who we are. .”

Seeing that he attributed Xiao Zhuo's victory to luck, Shen Yuexi didn't refute, but just smiled.

If Xiao Zhuo was a waste, he would have died on the road to exile.He can have her, a wife who made magical weapons, and Meng Yue and other generals will follow him to the death, and he can win the help of Xiliang's son, which is his charm in itself.

Xiao Zhuo is a dragon himself, and he deserves all his luck.These Xirong people can't understand.

"There is one more question," Qiang Lin looked directly at Shen Yuexi, "I hope you can tell us."

Shen Yuexi said: "You ask. If I know, I will tell you."

"Who stopped Yan Jun from killing us?"
