Chapter 500 More difficult than reaching the sky
"Old Ma, what medicines did you use? Can these horses... still be eaten?"
After a night of killing, the Chu army won another great victory.
Chen Changan was covered in blood. Looking at the fallen war horses on the ground, he understood the idea of eating them.
"I don't know either. Anyway, I used all the poisons that Tiedan mentioned."
Lao Ma is also a beast, he laughed and said: "If you want to know whether it can be eaten, it's very simple, take it out, grill it a little and give it to the prisoners. If they are fine, can't we eat it?"
Chen Changan was stunned. Old Ma's idea...
Damn, this is really a beast!
Old Ma laughed out loud, and Chen Changan couldn't help but smile.
"Master Chen, we found a parchment scroll on Hulan!"
Liu Baizhong was also covered in blood and handed a sheepskin scroll to Chen Changan.
Chen Changan took it in his hand and opened it to check.
Yinzhu Zhuoma has a graceful figure, just like a gesang flower swaying in the wind, soft and tough.
Her face is round like a rising full moon, her eyebrows are like newly sprouted willow leaves in spring, her nose is high and straight, and her lines are smooth and natural, adding a sense of three-dimensionality to the whole face.
Her lips are like ripe cherries, red without any lipstick, and the corners of her mouth are slightly raised with a faint smile, just like the warm sun under the snow-capped mountains, warm and healing.
Her hair fell softly on her shoulders like a black waterfall. She was wearing a gorgeous national costume, which made her look both luxurious and warm.
She wore a colorful belt around her waist, inlaid with various gemstones, which further highlighted her slender waist.
Yinzhu Zhuoma stands in the painting, with towering snow-capped mountains behind her. The white snow shines with holy light, contrasting with the gem-blue sky.
Beside us is the vast grassland with green grass and colorful flowers, and herds of yaks and sheep are grazing leisurely.
Chen Changan's face darkened, but Lao Ma opened his eyes wide: "Oh my god, isn't this Tiedan? How come this parchment scroll was found on Hulan?"
"That's right." Liu Baizhong nodded seriously and said, "The Xixia people are rough and usually don't use such fine pigments to paint. This shows that Tiedan'er is of high status and may be stronger than we thought."
Liu Baizhong hesitated to speak, and Lao Ma curled his lips and said, "Don't make it sound so scary, maybe she is Hulan's woman."
"Impossible." Liu Baizhong shook his head and said, "Although I don't know the raw materials, but you see, this kind of material is very rare even in our Great Chu. Even if it exists, it is only used by the royal family."
"Brother Liu, do you mean that Tiedan is a member of the royal family?" Chen Changan raised his eyebrows. There was no need to beat around the bush with him.
"Yes, I have this idea." Liu Baizhong said seriously.
"Let's make this assumption. If Tiedan'er is a princess of the royal family, their men must be very worried and have sent people to look for her everywhere."
"In this case, the problem is simple, Master Chen..."
"If you marry Tiedan, you will be Xixia's consort, and this will be considered civil unrest."
Liu Baizhong laughed out loud, but Lao Ma clapped his hands and laughed!
"It's beautiful, Lao Liu, you are so right!"
Old Ma took out some medicine powder from his arms and said, "Master, if you dare to do it, I will take out the last bit of my family property and give it all to you!"
"Don't underestimate this kind of stuff, it's actually good stuff, tiger penis powder!"
Chen Changan was speechless, and Liu Baizhong laughed: "With Lord Chen's ability, the use of medicine seems a bit vulgar... Oh, not that kind of medicine, hahaha, okay, okay, that's fine!"
Chen Changan went up and gave each person a chestnut: "We are not out of danger yet, how can we do as you said?"
"Hurry up, go to the Xixia camp and don't let anyone explore here!"
The two elder brothers laughed and went about their business in a hurry.
On this wasteland dyed orange-red by the afterglow of the setting sun, the temporary camp of the Xixia people was like an abrupt black patch, scattered among the undulating sand dunes.
Simple fences stood crookedly around the camp, like a row of exhausted guards, barely maintaining their last stand.
The tents that the Xixia people hastily built were made of rough animal skins and tattered canvas, and they shivered in the wind.
Chen Changan waved his hand, and the soldiers dispersed and went into the tents.
The tent was filled with a pungent smell of sweat and livestock.
There was a thin layer of hay on the ground, barely enough for a person to lie down on. The soldiers took over the nest and rested here.
"Master, Tiedan said he wants to see you."
Chen Changan was studying a map in the room when Lao Ma outside the door suddenly spoke.
"Tiedan, want to see me? Why should I see you?" Chen Changan smiled and did not comment.
"Of course I want to see you, you despicable Chu man."
The curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted, and a cold wind carrying yellow sand rushed in.
Yinzhu Zhuoma stood at the door like a pine tree, the afterglow of the setting sun outlining her graceful figure. But at this moment, the aura she exuded was like solid ice in the cold winter, which made people shudder.
Her chest heaved violently, obviously suppressing her anger.
Those bright eyes, at this moment burning with raging flames of anger, shot straight at Chen Changan who was sitting in the corner of the tent, as if to burn him with their gaze.
She moved lightly, each step was very heavy, and approached Chen Changan with a resolute momentum.
Her long, shiny black hair swayed freely with her movements. The turquoise and red coral ornaments in her hair collided with each other, making crisp sounds, which added a bit of her current angry atmosphere.
"Why are you here?"
She questioned, her voice trembling slightly with anger, but revealing an unquestionable toughness, "You invaders, you trampled on our land and now you are still pretending like this, what exactly do you want to do?"
Chen Changan laughed out loud: "We are the invaders, shouldn't we be the ones to say this?"
Tiedaner looked at Chen Changan and almost bit his teeth to pieces.
"We are convinced. We are really convinced."
Tiedan shook his head and said seriously: "Raise the white flag in the camp and ask the Xixia people to come and take you to the Hanhai capital."
"How about I ask the Khan to call a truce between our two countries?"
"Are you dreaming?"
Chen Changan was speechless: "I didn't lose, why should I raise the white flag? The Xixia people are coming, aren't they going to annihilate us? And we're meeting your Khan, so what can we do when we meet your Khan, will you give us a chance to speak?"
"Tiedan, stop talking nonsense. Shame can only be washed away with blood!"
Yinzhu Zhuoma was rebuked by Chen Changan. She wanted to say something but didn't say anything in the end.
She sat at the door blankly and said softly, "Chen Changan, I, I really don't want to see the killing anymore, I don't want to."
"Take me back to Da Chu. I believe the Xixia people will not stop you."
Chen Changan's eyes lit up: "Tiedan, do you want to be my wife?"
"Do, do, your wife?"
Chen Changan laughed loudly: "Don't pretend, aren't you the princess of Xixia? This is nothing strange, I have two princess wives!"
"If you want to marry me, you have to ask my first wife if she agrees!"
Chen Changan was very proud of himself, and Tiedan suddenly fell silent.
It seems...
It is harder than climbing to heaven to get Chen Changan to give up killing.
