Chapter 909: The Young Marquis's Broken Engagement Wife (31)
At this time, Shangguan Ruojin was sitting in the tent, holding a book in his left hand and a silver needle in his right hand.
On the table in front of her was a small wooden figure about the length of an adult's arm.
Yuan Zheng stood beside her, his hand already grasping the steel knife at his waist.
After the silver needle pierced the wooden figure's body, Shangguan Ruojin looked up at Yuan Zheng and said with a smile, "General Yuan, don't be so nervous. Let's not talk about whether those people will come. Even if they do, there won't be many people."
"Having more people isn't a problem!" Yuan Zheng explained with a frown, "I'm just worried that those who come here are experts who can fight a hundred people alone. My death is not a pity, but Ah Man must not fall into their hands."
"What are you talking about! You are a lieutenant general in the army. You don't care about life or death. You have been on the battlefield so many times. Why are you so nervous about such a small attack that is uncertain to happen?" Shangguan Ruojin still acted calm.
She even joked, "Once this matter is over, I'll treat you to a meal at a restaurant in Youcheng! I heard they recently received a new batch of wine, and it has a unique flavor."
"Since A'man invites me, of course I will go." Yuan Zheng responded repeatedly.
"Alright, stop being so sweet. We're facing a powerful enemy, so why not keep your mouth shut?" Deputy General Cao, who was also lying in ambush in the military tent, was a little fed up. "Yuan Zheng, you're not usually so elegant in your speech, but you're quite polite today."
Yuan Zheng, whose true identity was exposed, did not say anything else.
Just when Shangguan Rujin was about to rescue the other party, he heard footsteps coming from outside.
Unlike the usual orderly footsteps, it seemed a bit messy.
Shangguan Ruojin and Yuan Zheng looked at each other, and they both felt that those people were coming.
Sure enough, after just a few breaths, the tent curtain was lifted.
The visitors were wearing the military uniforms of the Yu State army, but they had a piece of green cloth tied around their wrists.
The grassland is rich in vegetation, and green is the easiest dye to color.
"Miss Shangguan, the general asked us to invite you to the nearby horse ranch." The leading sergeant stepped forward. "Please come!"
Shangguan Ruojin didn't move at all, and continued to turn the page of the book. He said calmly, "No, there's nothing interesting about being torn apart by five horses. It's too bloody."
The man shuddered noticeably after hearing the phrase "five horses pulling a body apart," but the leader continued to persuade him, "Miss Shangguan, this is the general's order."
"I say, what did you just call me?" Shangguan Rujin picked up another silver needle and inserted it into the wooden doll. "You really are a person who will not give up until the Yellow River reaches the Yellow River! I wanted to give you a chance, but I didn't expect you didn't understand."
"The people over there are stupid!" Yuan Zheng added, "Ah Man, just pretend they don't exist."
"General Yuan, you are going too far. We know that you hold a higher position in the army than us, but we are here to pick up the young lady on the orders of the general." The leader was followed by an articulate soldier. "If you don't want to go, forget it.
You want us to fail our mission? What a vicious mind! When we see the general, we will definitely file a complaint against you."
The authority and tone of the voice were just right. If someone was unprepared, they might really be intimidated.
But Shangguan Ruojin suddenly spoke something in a foreign language, which roughly meant: "Which general are you talking about? Don't you always call him the Great Khan?"
The pronunciation was quite standard, which made the people following behind dumbfounded.
After all, in the past few years, only the first two were lurking in the military camp, and the others sneaked in secretly.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have to wear a heavy helmet when it's not very cool, after all, it's to cover their faces.
Who doesn’t know that the truth has been revealed at this moment!
The leader didn't say much, but just came forward with a knife.
In close combat, his blade quickly collided with Yuan Zheng's steel knife, and the sharp sound of metal colliding filled the entire tent.
Shangguan Ruojin was still sitting in her original position, without moving a step, but there was a dagger in her hand.
Yuan Zheng's skills were quite good. He single-handedly chopped down the leader who rushed up at the beginning.
Perhaps he remembered what Shangguan Ruojin had said before, that it was best to capture someone alive, so Yuan Zheng's knife directly chopped the opponent's hands and feet.
When the knife entered the bone, Shangguan Ruojin, as a doctor, knew from the sound that Yuan Zheng must have restrained his strength.
The sharp-tongued man just now took a step back and just avoided the knife that was coming towards him.
"There are only two of them, catch them!" He shouted, but his legs kept moving backwards.
Shangguan Ruojin saw that the other party wanted to escape, and then said to Deputy General Cao, who had not yet made a move, "You can take action now, otherwise they will run away."
After all, these old people are supporting him, so his success rate of escaping is still very good.
"Don't be cowardly, men of the grassland! You should attack in an attacking manner. What's the point of always thinking about running away? Are you all cowards?" Shangguan Ruojin spoke in the language of a foreign race. Now those who had sneaked in also understood, and their faces flushed red.
They gathered their strength and tried to catch her.
The person who had just attempted to escape was now also swept forward.
The knife in Yuan Zheng's hand did not stop.
Deputy General Cao, who had just been called out, also led his men to rush forward.
When they were about to fight, two ropes made of unknown material but extremely tough suddenly "popped out" from both sides of the tent, instantly trapping the group of people inside.
But it was not a tight circle, just a simple enclosure, just enough to separate our own people from the enemy.
No one knew who was controlling one end of the rope, but it was distributed among the crowd and whipped the group of foreigners like a whip.
Then, screams rang out one after another.
It turned out that there were quite a few sharp spikes on this "rope", and when it was whipped just now, those small spikes happened to pierce into the opponent's body where there was no armor coverage.
Deputy General Cao originally wanted to charge forward, but when he saw the enemy soldiers covered in blood in an instant, he felt his hair tingle - because most of the wounds were on the face and neck, and the blood stains were so painful just to look at.
Of course, just two ropes can't stop the attack of this group of people.
One of them wiped the blood off his face and rushed forward again.
But the animal tendon net that fell from the sky covered them tightly.
A few people refused to admit defeat and raised their knives to chop at the net bag.
The knife is a good one, but this net was specially made by Shangguan Ruojin. It is made of the flesh, tendons and leather of ferocious beasts, and soaked in special potions. Not only is it extremely tough, but the more you struggle, the tighter it will wrap.
