Xie Mingyue spoke these words to the sixth prince, Bu Zhen, with a solemn expression.
After about three or four breaths, the traitor finally translated the words to the Sixth Prince.
Xie Mingyue endured the disgusted looks from the Sixth Prince and his men, and then she saw that the traitor must have received some message from the Sixth Prince. She saw the traitor turn around and walk towards her.
"Of course, these should be compensated to the Sixth Prince!"
If you want to leave, that's fine too.
Kneel down!
You can only leave after you all kneel down and kowtow to the Sixth Prince to apologize!
Otherwise, none of you will be leaving!
Xie Mingyue looked at the traitor's despicable face, her hands, hidden in her sleeves, clenched tightly together, her fingertips turning white.
"We came to Turkic territory with the Anton mission!"
We have a plaque personally given to us by Inspector Leung!
you……"
Before Xie Mingyue could finish speaking, a Mohe barbarian who had been standing next to the Sixth Prince behind the traitor suddenly shouted something and headed towards Xie Mingyue and the others.
It was only a distance of about ten steps, and the Mohe barbarians weren't walking particularly slowly.
Xie Mingyue didn't know what the Mohe barbarian was shouting, but she saw the traitor's face change instantly after hearing what the Mohe barbarian said!
However, it only lasted for a moment.
If Xie Mingyue hadn't been staring intently at the traitor without blinking, she probably wouldn't have seen this scene.
Then Xie Mingyue heard this traitor yell at her, "The Sixth Prince said that if you don't want to kneel, then you can!"
The traitor pointed a finger at Xie Mingyue, "They want you to spend the night entertaining the Sixth Prince!"
That way, you can leave!
No sooner had the traitor finished speaking than the Mohe barbarians behind him arrived in front of him!
Xie Mingyue saw the traitor take half a step forward, as if he wanted to stop the Mohe barbarian.
However, the Mohe barbarians were even faster!
Before Xie Mingyue could react, the Mohe barbarian's hand had already reached out to grab her!
As Xie Mingyue panicked about what might happen to her, all she saw was a sea of blood.
In the blood-red world, Xie Mingyue was completely dumbfounded.
It's Li Qiutian!
Li Qiutian severed the Mohe barbarian's forearm as he reached for Xie Mingyue with a single stroke!
Blood spurting from the severed arm splattered all over Xie Mingyue's face and head, turning everything in front of her blood red.
Li Qiutian held the knife in her right hand and reached out with her left hand, pulling the stunned Xie Mingyue behind her.
Before anyone could react, Li Qiutian had already raised her knife in front of her, her eyes fixed on the Mohe barbarian whose forearm she had severed.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
A scream of pain came from the mouth of the Mohe barbarian.
Then came a series of incomprehensible gibberish.
The half-severed, still-living limb on the ground testifies to what had just happened.
Several breaths passed before everyone seemed to finally react.
The men on the Sixth Prince's side drew their curved swords in a flash and looked at Li Shiyue.
Another Mohe barbarian following the sixth prince shouted and rushed toward the barbarian whose arm had been cut off, who was now kneeling on the ground in excruciating pain.
Xie Mingyue raised her hand and wiped her face, removing the bright red blood in front of her eyes. She looked at Li Qiutian standing in front of her and suddenly shouted loudly to the servants surrounding her: "Xie family servants, listen to my command!"
I vouch for this with the eldest daughter of the Xie family!
Today, if I can leave this place alive, your contracts will be dissolved!
Regardless of life or death, each person will receive one hundred taels of gold!
The deceased's descendants will be supported by family members for three generations!
Now, take up arms and fight alongside Lady Li!
After shouting this, Xie Mingyue didn't care what the reactions of those present who could understand Mandarin were; she immediately pulled a short dagger from her boot.
The maid beside her did not conceal a dagger; instead, she pulled out a hard wooden stick they used to set up their stall from the mess on the ground and held it in her hand.
Upon seeing this, Mr. Zhou, who was clutching his chest, quickly called out to the more than twenty Xie family servants around him.
"What are you all standing there for?"
Quickly draw your knife and grab your stick!
Those who can leave today will enjoy wealth and honor in the future!
"If you're unlucky enough to be spared, don't worry, Madam never lies. If she says she'll support your family for three generations, she definitely will!"
With the allure of freedom and gold, and the prospect of facing enemies without any worries, anyone would do it!
Thus, under the astonished gazes of the onlookers, what was originally just a common scene—that the valuable goods had attracted the attention of the Turkic nobles, and that in order to save their lives, they had to kneel down and kowtow to apologize and beg for their lives—was transformed into a scene of utter debauchery.
Who would have thought that these Han Chinese, on Turkic territory, would dare to lay a knife on a Turkic nobleman!
Not only did he draw his knife, but he also severed the man's right arm!
That's my right arm!
On the grasslands, when a man loses his right arm, it's not just a matter of being disabled;
That could cost you your life!
Riding a horse, wielding a knife, and eating meat all require the right arm. A man without a right arm is just counting down the days until he dies; he's doomed no matter what.
What was even more incomprehensible to the onlookers was that, for some unknown reason, the protected woman said something that prompted their men to find suitable weapons and fight the Turkic nobles to the death!
Wooden stick versus curved knife?
Is this risking one's life?
No!
That's suicide!
Why would it have to be this way?
Why would it have to be this bad?
Yelü Jiujin, the Khitan merchant who was huddled at the very back of Xie Mingyue's side, didn't understand. It was just a matter of sleeping with a Turkic nobleman.
Which caravan leader traveling abroad isn't flexible and adaptable?
In Yelü Jiujin's view, given their inferior strength and the fact that they were on Turkic territory, they had no choice but to submit in order to survive.
Sexual attraction between men and women is only natural; it's just a matter of sleeping together.
Even more so, Yelü Jiujin thought that if Xie Mingyue and the Sixth Prince Buzhen had a child after this one-night stand, Xie Mingyue might be able to move freely across the grasslands with the help of the Sixth Prince.
Yelü Jiujin didn't understand why Han women valued chastity so much.
"If you don't bow your head, you'll lose it!"
Yelü Jiujin said this to himself.
He felt a little regretful at this moment. He had just told Xie Mingyue that he wanted to buy that bag of snow-white snowflake salt!
The blood test results haven't even been purchased yet, and Xie Mingyue and the others are about to die.
Yes, in Yelü Jiujin's opinion, the woman who cut off someone's arm with one stroke was very powerful, but so what?
Li Qiutian was all alone, while the Sixth Prince on the other side had dozens of people!
A bloodbath is about to erupt!
The traitor, Lu Guang, originally thought that as long as Xie Mingyue softened her stance, he could at least save his life.
Who would have thought that things would escalate to a life-or-death situation!
"You, you all kneel down immediately and kowtow to the Sixth Prince!"
That's the only way to save your life!
