Suddenly, Hua Nu stood up, came to Guo Mo and Huang Rong, bent her knees and knelt down.
"Sister Huang, Brother Guo, I know my request is a little too much."
"However, I still want to beg you, save Elder Shi."
"Huanu, please..."
1 Chapter Forty
"Sister Hua Nu, get up quickly."
Seeing Hua Nu crying and kneeling on the ground, begging, Huang Rong hurried forward and pulled her up forcefully.
Hua Nu stopped crying, but her eyes were still fixed on Guo Mo, waiting for his answer.
To be honest, Guo Mo was not very willing to take care of such things. After all, such a fight between small tribes could not tell who was right and who was wrong. It was nothing more than a conflict of interests.
However, since I have encountered it, the key is to look at this posture, Huang Rong can't ignore it.
"Miss Hua Nu, if the 'Elder Shi' you mentioned is really captured and he is still alive, then we can help you rescue him."
"I just don't know, where are we going to rescue him now, and who will be on the other side?"
Guo Mo couldn't just agree to the other party blindly, he had to understand the situation.
"They are from the 'Luo's Ghost Kingdom'. Among the people who have chased and killed us in the past two years, the leader is called An Dun. This person is the most vicious. I heard that he likes to eat people's hearts. He is also the ghost leader of a tribe."
This "Luo's ghost country" can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period at the earliest. At that time, the ancestor Jihuo cut roads and transported grain during Zhuge Liang's southern expedition, and was named King of Luodian by the Shu Han.
Since then, their people have multiplied in the Guizhou area and have been passed down for as many as 85 generations. In this respect, it can be called the most in Chinese history.
This dynasty, during the period of Song Renzong, developed into a relatively large independent regime in the southwest region, called "Luo's ghost country".
At that time, the tribes in the Southwest generally advocated the theory of witches and ghosts. With the tribe as the unit, less than [-] families had little ghost masters, while relatively large tribes had big ghost masters.
And the An Dian that Hua Nu mentioned is also one of the relatively big ghost masters. He is very powerful and is very good at using poison. It is rumored that there is a mysterious person enshrined in his tribe.
It's just that no one has ever seen it, or that the people who have seen it are no longer in this world.
Guo Mo fell into deep thought. If it was just a general vendetta, he wouldn't care too much. It all depends on his skill. Guo Mo is confident that there are not many people, so he can keep him.
But this is related to a country, this Luo family's ghost country, he knows that it has developed particularly rapidly since the Southern Song Dynasty, and when it was the strongest, its power expanded thousands of miles eastward, covering the western Hunan area.
And this person's surname is "An", this is the largest chieftain family in Shuixi.
"A century-old dynasty, a thousand-year chieftain", in this three-acre land, provoking chieftains is no joke.
"Miss Hua Nu, where will this settlement be now?"
"Brother Guo, they captured Elder Shi and must have taken him to Dafang, which is more than 200 miles away from here." Hua Nu replied hastily.
"Rong'er, since we've met, let's help Miss Hua Nu. Although Dafang is not on our way to Dali, it won't take long."
Naturally, Huang Rong would not refuse, so the three of them cleaned up briefly, and Hua Nu took out a soft whip from somewhere, it should be her weapon.
Huang Rong and Hua Nu rode a horse together, passed a relatively large market, and bought another horse for Hua Nu.
This ghost country of the Luo family also produces horses. The Southern Song Dynasty has been in conflict with the northern people for many years, so this place has become an important horse supply place.
Hua Nu led the way, and only entered Dafang the next afternoon.
On the way, Huang Rong occasionally asked Hua Nu how to get rid of the poison in Hua Nu. The answer Hua Nu gave was "no solution".
Now she just wants to rescue Elder Shi, the only old man who escaped from the tribe together, and then hide in a quiet place and die slowly.
Seeing this, Huang Rong had no choice but to agree to help her fulfill this wish.
When we arrived at Dafang, the security was a bit tight, as if we were arresting someone.
Hua Nu stepped forward and helped Guo Mo and Huang Rong find two suits of barbarian costumes suitable for them. The two dressed neatly and followed Hua Nu.
When encountering interrogations on the road, Hua Nu will always answer them.
In this way, the three of them successfully entered the hinterland of the Dafang barbarian tribe.
Guo Mo couldn't believe it, it all happened so smoothly.
When it was getting dark, I didn't find any inn, so I found a family in the stockade.
This family only saw an old woman in her 50s speaking a language that Guo Mo and the others could not understand.
Fortunately, Hua Nu was able to communicate with her skillfully, and the three of them stayed overnight at Grandma's house.
At nightfall, Hua Nu suddenly came to look for Guo Mo and Huang Rong.
"Brother Guo, Sister Huang, just now Grandma said that she saw that An Dun brought people back from outside yesterday, and she didn't go out all day today."
"Besides, after Anton came back, martial law began to be imposed in the village. I think Elder Shi must have been escorted back by them, and he is now locked up somewhere here. I think..."
Hua Nu wanted to say something, but hesitated.
"Do you want us to explore An Dun's village tonight, and it's best to find Elder Shi overnight and rescue him?" Guo Mo added for her.
"Yes, Brother Guo, I know it will be dangerous, but if the day passes, it will be more difficult."
"Brother Mo, let's go there tonight and measure his small tribe. Could it be that it is still a dragon's pool and a tiger's den?"
Seeing what Huang Rong said, Guo Mo no longer objected.
Probably just after the day of the watch, Guo Mo and the three of them finished packing and pushed the door gently to come out.
In southern Xinjiang in the early winter, the nights are still a bit dry and cold. People who have worked for a day all rest early, and the surroundings are quiet.
There is no moon, and there is a bit of wind, blowing the buildings made of wood and bamboo in every household, occasionally making a "creaking" sound.
Hua Nu seemed to know the terrain very well, and bent over to lead the way, Huang Rong was in the middle, and Guo Mo was in the rear.
All the way to the southeast, the terrain is getting higher and higher, and it is actually walking up a hill.
Guo Mo took two quick steps and came behind Hua Nu.
"Huanu girl, have you been here before?"
The light was a bit dim, but Guo Mo still stared at Hua Nu's eyes.
"Brother Guo, Elder Shi brought us here two years ago. At that time, we wanted to have a good talk with An Dun and seek his protection. Unexpectedly, he is a villain who has an eye for money."
While talking, Hua Nu was still gnashing her teeth, as if she wanted to swallow this arrangement alive.
The three of them continued to walk in, and gradually they could meet barbarians who were patrolling the night in twos and threes.
The three skillfully bypassed the barbarians and came to a place that looked like a cottage.
Hua Nu was the first to jump over the wall and jumped in, followed by Guo Mo and Huang Rong.
The front half of this cottage is dark and quiet, but the sound of finger-guessing orders can be heard from the back village, someone must be drinking.
The three of them sneaked into Houzhai again.
Sure enough, a hall was brightly lit, and there were at least three NO.50 people present, who were drinking and changing glasses.
There is a person sitting in the middle, who looks more than 40 years old?With a bald head and no hat, and thinning hairline, on one left and one on the right, two savage girls are pouring wine and vegetables for him.
On the platform, there were three elders sitting on the left and right, and they seemed to be people with status in the tribe.
The rest of the people yelled and shouted, but they all spoke savagely, and Guo Mo and Huang Rong didn't understand what they meant.
The location where the three of them hid was about three feet away from the hall, and it was only because it was dark and the room was bright that they could really see it.
"Brother Guo, the person in the middle is An Dun." Hua Nu whispered.
As the saying goes: If you want to know your innermost feelings, only listen to what is behind your back.
The problem is, even if Guo Mo could listen to what they said, he couldn't understand it.
Just leave him alone and find a way to catch his tongue and ask.
The hall was in a mess, and the people who came in and out were all brutal soldiers who delivered wine and food.
Guo Mo didn't ask them to start, and probably couldn't find anything of value.
Waiting until such a barbarian came out of the hall, probably because he had drunk too much and needed to find a convenient place.
Guo Mo signaled Huang Rong and Hua Nu to wait for him in a corner where no one was around, and then followed the drunken barbarian.
I saw that this person came out of the hall, turned to the corner on the right, and solved it on the spot.
As soon as he put on his pants, Guo Mo appeared behind him.
Stretch out two fingers and poke lightly on his back, "Don't move—" This man is very obedient, and immediately becomes motionless like a wooden withered clay sculpture.
Taking advantage of the situation, Guo Mo tapped his "dumb acupoint" again, grabbed his neck collar, and took him away like a chicken.
Guo Mo carried this person to the hiding place of Huang Rong and Hua Nu, and threw it on the ground with a "baji".
"Huanu, ask him, has Elder Shi been brought here and where is he being held?"
Huang Rong cooperated with Hua Nu and slapped his "dumb acupoint" away. At the same time, the "Ziwei soft sword" was pressed on his neck, and the cold light shone.
There was not much time, and when the questioning was over, Huang Rong sealed his "sleeping hole" again and threw him into a corner to cool off.
"Brother Guo, Sister Huang, Elder Shi was indeed brought here, but unfortunately he was imprisoned in 'Wanguku'."
When Hua Nu said the words "Wan Guku", his body visibly shook.
"Sister Huanu, where is this 'Wanguku'?" Huang Rong asked from the side.
"This 'Wanguku' is located at the back of the stockade. It is a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one exit."
"The valley is not big. It is the place where the clan used to detain important prisoners. It's just that there are no guards there, and there are poisonous insects everywhere. There are many kinds of poisonous snakes."
"For hundreds of years, I don't know how many people have died in it. Therefore, there is a saying in the clan, 'It is better to be cut by a thousand swords than to die in ten thousand bones'."
Guo Mo took a slight look at Hua Nu with his eyes, always feeling that something was wrong.
"Brother Mo, since we know the location, let's go directly to rescue people, right? Those poisonous snakes may be dangerous to others, but they are useless to Brother Mo."
Huang Rong said with a smile, but the Hua slave next to her was puzzled.
Since we know that people are not here, there is no need to entangle here.
The three of them left the cottage from the same road, followed the trail on the left, and headed for the back mountain.
Just after entering the rear mountain pass, there is a fence where a group of barbarians are stationed.
The three of them bypassed the fence, turned over the stone lazier next to them, and walked for more than a mile before seeing a valley in front of them.
Nature is really amazing, Guo Mo has never seen such a terrain.
Surrounded by mountains on three sides, and almost all of them are steep cliffs, at least ten feet high.
The unique aspect is the road into the mountain, which is the entrance of the valley.
The entrance is very narrow, only about two feet wide, and no one is guarding it.
But a stone wall more than three feet high was built, and there was a stone gate in the middle, with a large elephant trunk lock installed on it.
On the stone wall, there were still a few large blood red characters written, but unfortunately Guo Mo couldn't read them.
After Hua Nu translated it for him, he realized that these words were "ten thousand bones withered".
"Brother Guo, how do we get in here?"
Seeing the three-foot-high stone wall, not to mention Huanu, even Huang Rong couldn't easily get past it.
But the big elephant trunk lock on the stone gate, the lock nose is made of fine iron, the thickness of a duck egg, Huang Rong was afraid that cutting it with a sword would blunt her "Ziwei soft sword".
Before Guo Mo could think of a way to get in, he suddenly heard a sound of gongs, and countless barbarians poured out from three sides.
Immediately, the lights, balls and torches, bright seeds and oil pine, shone like daytime.
"Hahaha, miss, since you have all come to my tribe, why don't you say hello?"
"Anyway, I'm still your distant cousin. It's unreasonable for you, a younger sister, to do this!"
Chapter 141
"An Dun, is that you?"
Hua Nu looked at the person in surprise.
"Why, do you think your whereabouts are very hidden? As soon as you entered the stockade, I knew you were here."
"Without old man Shi, you actually found two Song people? Is there really no one available?"
"Miss, hand over the things, maybe for the sake of the same clan, I can spare your life and lock you up with your dead ghost father. Hahaha"
After An Dun drank, and seeing that the other party was already surrounded, he was finally about to catch them all in one go, so he didn't keep his mouth shut.
