Chapter 301 Intention]
Chen Fenghe looked through the cracks in the rocks and saw that the newcomer was also wearing Northern Rong clothing, but he had a black fox cloak draped over his shoulders and a silver mask on his face. His clothing was much more expensive than that of other Northern Rong soldiers, and the aura he exuded was also different from that of others.
Chen Fenghe frowned slightly.
She always felt as if she had seen this person somewhere, but she couldn't remember where for a moment.
The man glanced around calmly behind the mask. He didn't say anything, but just raised his hand slightly.
A Beirong soldier following behind him immediately stepped forward and asked in a stiff Da Yu dialect, "Don't panic. Our master has a few questions for you. If you answer truthfully, you will not die."
Yuan Xun and several officers held their swords across their bodies and did not answer, but were wary of them.
The Northern Rong soldier didn't get a response, but he didn't take it seriously. He continued, "I heard you were prisoners escorted from the capital of Dayu Kingdom? We only want your Queen, Crown Princess, and Ninth Prince. As long as you hand them over, we don't care about the lives of others!"
Chen Fenghe frowned even tighter.
These Beirong soldiers actually came specifically for her, Qin Mengyue and Xiao Yunhao?
However, Xiao Yunshuo had been fighting on the battlefield with his maternal uncle since he was a teenager. Later, he led troops alone. With his amazing military talent, he made plans and defeated the Northern Rong and recovered the Sixteen States of Youzhou.
Therefore, although the prince had been executed for "treason", there were probably still many generals and soldiers guarding the border who wholeheartedly supported and followed the prince.
Even if the Dog Emperor is wary of this force, it will be impossible to eliminate it in a short period of time.
After all, if a large-scale purge of the "Princelings" were carried out, it would inevitably cause chaos among the border garrisons and demoralize the troops. If the Northern Rong took the opportunity to invade, Dayu would not be able to hold on at all!
If they could reach the capital in one go, even the dog emperor would lose his throne!
The same situation applies to the Northern Rong.
Since there are still many "princelings" stationed at the border, it is better to control the prince's biological mother, concubines and brothers. They can be used as hostages to hinder Dayu's army in attack, and as bargaining chips for surrender in retreat, so as to lure those "princelings" who will inevitably be "purged" by the dog emperor in the future to rebel and surrender to the enemy.
Either way, this deal is a good one.
Upon hearing this, the besieged people couldn't help but look at each other.
Yuan Xun's face darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "We are only escorting ordinary exiled prisoners, not any queens or princesses. You must have made a mistake!"
Although he was not like Shen Fenghe, who figured out the interests involved in the Beirong soldiers' attempt to capture the Queen, the Crown Princess, and the Ninth Prince after a little thought, he also knew that it was definitely not a good thing, so he made up his mind that even if he died, he would never betray Miss Shen and the others.
The masked man raised his eyes and glanced at Yuan Xun lightly.
Without waiting for him to speak, several people around him immediately let go of the hyenas they were holding.
Three or four hyenas were freed and rushed towards the trapped people, barking excitedly.
"No! Help!"
"Get out of here! Get out of here! Help! I don't want to die yet!"
A prisoner and an officer were knocked down, and in an instant several pieces of flesh were torn off their bodies, and blood was dripping all over!
Everyone looked at the scene in horror.
There were many who couldn't bear it and fainted or even vomited!
Yuan Xun rushed forward with bloodshot eyes, shouting angrily, "Stop!"
The prisoner was fine, but the officer was his brother. If he was killed by hyenas because of his concealment, he would never have peace in his life!
However, other hyenas immediately blocked his way fiercely.
The masked man then gently raised his hand.
His men understood and immediately grabbed the hyena that was still biting the officers and prisoners.
The masked man looked at Yuan Xun sideways and said calmly, "So you are the leader of these people? You can keep making excuses. These hyenas of mine are hungry and can be fed slowly."
The meaning of this statement is self-evident.
Yuan Xun stared at the masked man with bloodshot eyes, hesitating whether to confess that Chen Fenghe and the others were currently in the cave...
The masked man lost his patience and with a glance, his men were about to loosen the leash again.
At this moment, a sudden cry came: "Wait a minute!"
