These are the sentinels of the Black Feather Camp, who hide in the crevices of nearby cliffs day and night, and will take action if they find anyone suspicious.
She was still wearing the clothes of the Southern Qiang people from Bijiang Village. Her face was dirty and messy, and she spoke in Lingxi dialect.
"It's a woman."
The Black Feather Army soldiers looked at each other and seemed to have made some conclusion about her identity.
"search."
She was held down and everything she had on her was turned upside down.
"What did you bring?"
"Apart from a half-length stick, the rest is some dry food."
Before the soldier finished speaking, a palm-sized object fell out of Xiao Nanhui's inner clothes and landed on the ground with a "clang". It was hard in texture.
She continued to lie on the ground, and saw someone pick up the iron plate out of the corner of her eye. There was silence all around, and then someone whispered.
"Take it back to camp."
******************
When Su Pingchuan was entangled with her that morning, Xiao Nanhui had already set his sights on him.
Her journey westward was a secret one. Technically, her identity as the Right General of Tiancheng had been temporarily "abandoned." Therefore, if the final moment of identification came, she would need some authentic and reliable evidence to prove her position. Her own belongings were out of the question, but she could borrow others'.
So after knocking Su Pingchuan unconscious, she took away the right general's badge.
Now it really comes in handy.
The Black Feather Army soldiers obviously had doubts about her origins and purpose, so they did not kill her on the spot but took her back to the prisoner camp and handed her over to their captain.
They spoke in low voices when they met, but they did not avoid talking deliberately, perhaps because they believed that Xiao Nanhui was a Southern Qiang person who did not understand Mandarin.
"She had a badge from the Guangyao Battalion on her body. Judging from the style, she must be a fourth-rank general."
"Anything else?"
"She's gone. She's all alone, a woman..."
"Even so, you shouldn't let your guard down. Bijiang is dominated by women, and the Black Feather Camp's arrows actually managed to miss. Is she too capable, or are you too lax?"
Several sentries quickly apologized. The captain took the thin and square iron plate, handed it to Xiao Nanhui, and asked in the Lingxi dialect.
"Where did you get this?"
Her neck stiffened, and she said shamelessly, "I picked it up."
"Where did you pick it up?"
"I won't tell you."
The captain snorted coldly, grabbed the arrow feather on her leg and twisted it hard, causing Xiao Nanhui to howl in pain.
As expected, people all over the world treat their enemies in such a brutal manner.
She squeezed out a few tears from her eyes: "It's useless for you to kill me. I want to see your emperor, and I will only tell him."
The captain's expression changed. "Who told you the emperor is here?"
"I know even more! Take me to the Emperor and I'll tell you everything."
The moment these words came out, the other party was clearly a little shaken. This woman before him was definitely suspicious, but she might also be hiding military intelligence worth a thousand households. Going into battle and killing a few enemies with her head on the line probably wouldn't be much of a military achievement.
Xiao Nanhui knew that there was a chance and was waiting for the captain to ask further questions when suddenly a cold voice sounded behind her.
"Looking at this, he doesn't look like someone who can pry out any information. It's better to drag him out of the camp and chop him up."
As soon as the voice came out, there was a familiar coldness in it.
Before she could remember the owner of the voice, the captain had already said the name.
"Greetings, Lord Lu."
Kishu Deer Matsudaira.
He is not in Tongcheng, why is he here?
But now is not the time to think about this problem, Lu Songping's voice rang out again.
"How can such a vicious person be mentioned before His Majesty? If anything goes wrong, don't you want to lose your heads?"
Lu Songping, you turtle bastard, you ruin my good things again and again.
She was roaring in her heart, but she still had to face reality. She twisted her body with all her strength, trying to turn her sincere face to Lord Lu behind her.
"Sir! Please spare my life. Everything I said is true! I really know a lot of things. If you don't believe me, you can ask me. I will tell you everything I know. We Nanqiang people never lie. If you lie, you will be struck by lightning, thrown into a mountain of knives and a pot of oil, and you will never be reborn after death..."
Xiao Nanhui knew that the other party could understand the Lingxi dialect, so she expressed her strong desire to survive even more eloquently, hoping that the other party would give her a chance to "betray the enemy" because of her hard work.
Lu Songping seemed to think she was a little dirty, so he took a half step back, but then when he saw her face, he suddenly stopped moving.
The other person's gaze was truly terrifying, and her heart began to beat fast. Logically, after only a fleeting glimpse that night, and considering her current state, Lu Songping shouldn't have recognized her, but somehow, it felt a little strange.
"I promise I'll be absolutely obedient! Everything I say is true. If you don't believe me, you can go ask. My village is on the other side of the river. We have thirty yaks, one hundred and eighteen black-tailed sheep, and a lot of chickens. It's quite a large village. After you pass Sanmu Pass, go straight west and pass through a red willow forest..."
"It's so noisy."
Lu Songping finally summarized Xiao Nanhui's long speech.
The next second, an iron fist came towards her and hit her right in the face.
Xiao Nanhui's eyes went dark and he fell into a brief dizziness.
