Chapter 929 Gathering the Defeated Soldiers
The Qingtang people retreated very thoroughly and quickly.
After Qin Shaoyou and the others left the city, they rode fast all the way without stopping, and it was only at noon the next day that they caught up with a group of defeated Qingtang soldiers who were alone.
Hearing that the day tour god in charge of scouting reported that there were Qingtang defeated soldiers ahead, Qin Shaoyou immediately asked everyone to hide in the mountains and forests, and changed into Qingtang-style clothing and equipment.
These clothing and equipment were all taken from the captives, and many of them were stained with blood and dirt. Coupled with the travel and dust of the people rushing along, they looked like a defeated army fleeing in embarrassment after losing a battle.
After dressing properly, everyone checked each other to make sure there were no flaws. Then, under the leadership of Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer, they left the woods and rushed to the place where the defeated soldiers in Qingtang were located.
Soon, they saw this team of Qingtang defeated soldiers.
There were not many people, about thirty or forty people, entrenched in a destroyed watchtower, boiling water and cooking to satisfy their hunger.
Hearing the sound of horseshoes, this team of defeated Qingtang soldiers reacted immediately, instead of fleeing, they picked up bows and knives, trying to defend by destroying the dilapidated stone walls of the watchtower.
Seeing that Qin Shaoyou and others were all dressed in green ponds, these barbarians breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not put down the bows and knives in their hands. While drawing the bow and arrow, they asked aloud: "Stop! Which tribe are you from? ?”
Qin Shaoyou reined in his horse and stopped within a stone's throw away, and responded in Qingtang dialect: "I am the leader of the Feixiong tribe, Dazan who leads a hundred households, does anyone know me?"
Hearing that Qin Shaoyou was the head of a hundred households, the group of barbarians became a little nervous, but they still didn't relax their vigilance.
After discussing in whispers, they asked again: "Dazan Baihu, do you know Duoerchi?"
Qin Shaoyou pretended to be pleasantly surprised: "Of course I know, that is the warrior of the Tugui tribe, who leads a hundred households like me. Is he here too? Let him come out and meet me!"
The Qingtang barbarians inside the dilapidated watchtower replied: "Master Duo'erchi can't come out to meet you. He was seriously injured on the way to break out and cannot move."
"What?" Qin Shaoyou pretended to be very anxious, "Where is the other person? Take me to see him quickly?"
The Qingtang barbarians in the dilapidated watchtower were stunned by Qin Shaoyou's [Smart Tongue], and no longer doubted their identity as a group of people. They really regarded them as the nobles of the Feixiong tribe. They entered the dilapidated watchtower.
Before entering the dilapidated watchtower, Cui Yougui, who was dressed as a wizard, asked Qin Shaoyou in a low voice: "Are you going to kill this group of people later?"
Qin Shaoyou shook his head slightly, and his lips moved slightly: "What are you doing killing them? Our current identity is Qingtang people, so naturally we want to use this identity to win over and recover the defeated soldiers we encountered along the way. As long as we arrive at Qingtang , with a large number of defeated soldiers gathered around, there will naturally be high-level officials from Qingtang coming to us, which is much better than us gathering together to spy on intelligence."
Cui Yougui thought about it, and it was indeed such a truth.
In Qingtang, strength is the most important thing.
Either one has a superior cultivation level, or one has a large number of clansmen and warriors, so that one can obtain a high position.
The information they went to Qingtang to spy on this time could only be obtained if they obtained a high position, or approached the seventh prince's cronies.
Therefore, on the way to Qingtang, it is indeed a good choice to try to subdue the defeated soldiers and expand their strength.
Soon, Qin Shaoyou and his group entered the dilapidated watchtower.
After turning over and dismounting, Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer, who was disguised as a man, entered the inside of the watchtower led by several barbarians, and saw a person lying on the ground.
His abdomen was severely injured, and he simply wrapped the wound with a cloth, but the blood continued to seep out, dyeing the cloth surface red.
Qin Shaoyou recalled in his mind Dazan's description of Duo Erchi in the materials, and then looked at the appearance of this person, it was indeed similar to what Dazan described, so he confirmed his identity, and immediately stepped forward, showing worry Sei called out: "Duo'erchi, are you okay? I'm Dazan."
Duoerchi was sleeping, when he heard Qin Shaoyou's voice, he opened his eyes, and saw that the person who came was indeed 'Dazan', his spirit recovered a bit, grabbed Qin Shaoyou's hand, and said excitedly: "Dazan , are you still alive? That's great, I really didn't expect that the two of us would have a chance to meet again..."
Speaking of this, perhaps because the wound was involved, Duo'erchi frowned and let out a cry of pain, bringing his emotions back to reality.
Glancing at the barbarians around, Duo Erchi let out a foul breath: "Dazan, I was seriously injured, if I die later, I hope you can help me bring these soldiers back, don't let them Died at the hands of Xia people..."
"Don't worry, the soldiers under your hands are my soldiers, and I will definitely bring them back alive." What Qin Shaoyou wanted was Duo Erchi's words, and he held his hand, promising with a serious face.
At the same time, he told Duoerchi not to think too much, so he could rest, saying that he would definitely be able to return to Qingtang with everyone alive.
"God will bless you!"
Just in his heart, Qin Shaoyou added: bless you to die.
Duo Erchi was very moved by Qin Shaoyou's eloquent tongue, and he told his soldiers to obey Qin Shaoyou's command.
"Dazan's order is my order! If I die, you follow Dazan, and he will definitely take you back."
After saying this, Duo'erchi closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
No one noticed that a black shadow quietly crawled out of Qin Shaoyou's body, and quickly got into Duo'erchi's shadow.
It wasn't until Duo'erchi's soldiers boiled the water and prepared a meal, and brought a bowl to Duo'erchi, that they found that he had passed away.
Qin Shaoyou showed his acting skills again, and at the same time used [Smart Tongue], howling very sadly, which moved Duoerchi's subordinates, and even turned around to persuade him not to be too sad.
Of course, there is also a part of the factor, which is that he is afraid that he will howl too loudly and attract Xia Guo's pursuers.
After wiping away the tears that he had finally squeezed out, Qin Shaoyou said with a solemn face: "I promised Duo'erchi that I would bring you back to Qingtang. From today on, you can follow me. When you return to Qingtang Tang, I will send someone to contact the Tugui tribe. If you don’t want to go back and want to follow me, I welcome it, because I promised Duoerchi to take good care of you.”
These subordinates of Duoerchi saw that their adults were all dead. If they returned to the tribe, according to the rules, even if they didn't have to be buried with Duoerchi, they would be divided among the other leaders of the tribe.
If you are lucky, you can continue to be a tribal soldier. If you are unlucky, you can only be reduced to a slave.
In comparison, following Dazan's future seems to be better.
After all, Dazan promised Duoerchi to take good care of them, so it is impossible for them to be slaves, right?
Moreover, Dazan is also the leader of the Feixiong tribe, following him, the future is much better than staying in the Tugui tribe.
In normal times, it is not an easy task for these people to change tribes and leaders. But now, Qingtang has just experienced a big defeat. Many nobles and leaders of the tribe either died in battle or disappeared, and the subordinates did not have so many worries and troubles when they changed tribes and leaders.
Immediately, many barbarians knelt down to swear allegiance to Qin Shaoyou, calling them the leader or the bear master.
The Flying Bear Tribe uses a big bear with wings as its totem, so when the clansmen call the head of the tribe, they also call him the Bear Lord.
Some barbarians did not dare to agree immediately because they had family members in the Tugui tribe. It was not until Qin Shaoyou said that he would help them bring their families back for a reunion that they were moved to tears and swore allegiance.
Seeing this scene, Cui Yougui and Zhu Xiucai looked at each other, both of them held back very hard.
If these Qingtang barbarians knew that they were swearing allegiance to Xia Guolai's undercover agents... I don't know how they would react and feel?
As for Qin Shaoyou, after taking a look at Duo'erchi, whose bones were not yet cold, he couldn't help but whisper in his heart: Is this another kind of widow series?
