Chapter 312 I just want to keep this life and go home to inherit the throne
Qi Siyuan had already listened to Xu Jinren's brief report. Except for a few people who stayed behind to guard secretly, he sent everyone else out to help.
"It seems like Black Bear Pass is going to be in trouble again..."
Yuxiu sighed, saying that bringing those women back was originally a good thing, but when there are too many people, there will always be people who have other ideas.
"That's nothing. We have food and people now. Even if the Northern Di people want to cause trouble, they are only asking for trouble..."
Qi Siyuan said soothingly, and the two had just said a few words when they heard a clear sound of breaking through the air outside, followed by a sound like firecrackers exploding in the air.
"Someone is sending out a signal flare, trying to convey some message to people outside the city!"
Yuxiu suddenly thought of what he had seen in a TV drama in his previous life. He stood up anxiously and wanted to go out and tell his two uncles.
"I didn't expect you to know so much. Did your master teach you that?"
Qi Siyuan was not in a hurry at all. He smiled and patted the chair for her to sit down.
Qi Siyuan had great trust in the soldiers of Black Bear Pass.
"My master knows a lot..."
Yuxiu was afraid of being exposed and didn't want to say much about her master.
They were chatting here in a random manner, but there was a big commotion outside.
Yuxiu's previous guess was correct. The wooden hairpin on the woman's head was not an ordinary object. The flare just now was sent out with that wooden hairpin.
However, just as she sent out the signal flare, several old women rushed over and pinned her to the ground.
Without waiting for her to scream, the old women took out a bunch of smelly rags and stuffed them into her mouth.
Then, they found some hemp rope from somewhere and tied the man up.
When the woman was carried and thrown into a separate tent, she was horrified to find that there were already a dozen tied-up women there.
At the top of the tent, there were several men in battle robes sitting, looking at her with mockery on their faces.
She had seen these people before. They were the soldiers guarding Black Bear Pass.
"Uh-huh...uh-huh..."
The woman struggled frantically, rolling on the ground, looking at the soldiers and signaling with her eyes.
"Take the contents of her mouth out. I want to hear what she has to say."
Xu Jinyi waved his hand, and a maid quickly stepped forward, grabbed the woman's hair, and slapped her in the face, then pulled the rag out of her mouth.
The slap the old woman received was not light. When the woman opened her mouth to speak, bright red blood flowed from the corners of her mouth.
"Wuwuwu... just let me go... my son... my daughter are still in the hands of those beasts..."
The woman cried bitterly and looked very sad.
Hearing the woman's crying, the old women who were glaring at her angrily felt a little uncomfortable.
It seems that although this woman did something wrong, she was also trying to save her children.
"Then tell me, what happened to your children?"
Xu Jinyi, however, had a blank expression on his face. Did this woman think that everyone was a fool?
I could be fooled by her crying for a few words.
"My daughter is only ten years old. She is still a little girl who knows nothing. Without her mother, how can she live in the future..."
"Wow...my son is still young and can't even walk. If I don't listen to them, they're going to..."
The woman looked at Xu Jinyi with a pleading look on her face, hoping that this cold man would consider her as a mother and not bother with her.
"Hehe... for the sake of your own children, do you want to kill other people's children?"
Xu Jinyi sneered and shouted:
"Do you know that if we really let those people occupy Black Bear Pass, how many children of our Yuan Dynasty would lose their lives because of your thoughtless decision?"
The woman felt a little guilty, but when she thought of her child, she quickly became confident and argued:
"The king promised me that as long as you don't resist, he will never kill anyone..."
When she said this, everyone in the tent was almost laughing out of anger.
"Tie her up first, and then deal with her after this matter is over."
There was nothing to say to this kind of person. Xu Jinyi felt very tired. It was just words like that to coax a child, but this woman still believed it.
Or maybe she doesn't care about other people's life or death at all, so what does it matter whether they believe it or not?
At this time, a large number of Northern Di people had gathered outside the city gate.
Today, the Second Prince and the King of Shanbei led the team. They were protected by layers of Beidi warriors and stopped a little away from the city wall.
"Your Highness, Second Prince, how do you think of this move?"
Seeing the Yuan Dynasty soldiers stumbling on the city wall, King Shanbei was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
"See? They have no fighting power now. Even if they haven't fainted, they can't use any strength in their bodies. Let alone my Beidi warriors, even a three-year-old kid can easily knock him down."
This was a brilliant idea he came up with after thinking all night. There was a kind of grass in their tribe, and only a small one of it could knock down an adult cow weighing thousands of pounds.
In order to prevent cattle and sheep from accidentally eating the fruits, they usually send people to collect and pick them every year. Unexpectedly, they would come in handy this time.
"They are all cunning old foxes. You must not be careless."
The second prince Altan also looked at the Yuan soldiers on the city wall. In just a short while, he saw three people fall down with his own eyes.
But he didn't know what was going on. He felt his heart beating very fast today, and even his eyelids started twitching.
"What if those Yuan people are fine? Wouldn't we be walking into a tiger's mouth?"
Altan was a little worried. Thinking of Xu Jinren's half-smile on his face before, he didn't dare to take another step forward.
He didn't want to fight anymore. He wanted to keep his life and go home to inherit his father's throne.
"Your Highness is right, but our spies have already reported back that even the Xu brothers have been tricked. They are barely holding on now. I'm afraid they can't even hold their swords steady...hahaha..."
King Shanbei was very confident. The reason why he insisted on bringing the second prince, Altan, with him was naturally because he had another purpose.
"Besides, isn't their Crown Prince here too? It seems that this time we can not only occupy the important Black Bear Pass, but also capture the Crown Prince in one fell swoop. Then..."
