Murong Xue immediately recognized it as Tuoba Ren's voice!
When he came to the village last time to collect hides, he gave Jiang Ming a golden knife that symbolized the command of the Hundred Treasures Iron Cavalry, and on behalf of the Khan, he acknowledged Jiang Ming's status as the son-in-law.
Murong Xue had no reason to hide anything anymore and immediately opened the door.
"Uncle Tuoba! What's wrong with you?"
"Hurry! Hurry!"
Tuoba Ren said weakly, "Please ask the Prince Consort for help, to rescue the Great Khan... the Great Khan is trapped in Lone Wolf Mountain..."
......
The liquidation meeting in Chenjia Village is still ongoing.
The so-called "Bodhisattva sitting in a vat" actually refers to a highly accomplished monk who, knowing he is about to die, stops eating and drinking and then sits in a vat to pass away peacefully.
This large water tank has been covered up for several years.
When the vat was opened, the high monk's body was incorrupt!
People then covered the monk's body with gold leaf and placed it in the temple for worship, calling it the "Bodhisattva Sitting in a Jar"!
But for the Dong brothers, Dong Chuan and Dong Shan, and those hooligans, it doesn't have to be so complicated.
They directly smeared mud, clay, and kaolin on their bodies... How were the Terracotta Warriors burned? How did they burn them?
The desperate struggles and wailing during that time need not be described...
Some villagers dared to watch, while others did not and went straight home.
As for that sorceress, Jiang Ming still had a use for her and didn't plan to execute her tonight. He ordered his men to tie her up and take her back to the local temple for strict guarding.
When he saw that his son-in-law was going to move all of Dong Laocai's grain to his own house, Old Master Chen was so happy he couldn't stop smiling.
Previously, he thought this son-in-law was an unapproachable scoundrel and a tough nut to crack down on, always finding ways to sabotage his father-in-law.
Not only did they abduct two daughters, but they also swindled 200 acres of fertile land.
Now, she finds Jiang Ming more and more pleasing to the eye, calling him "son-in-law" this and "son-in-law" that, and she and Chen Damei and Chen Ermei revolve around Jiang Ming.
Old Master Dong's family also has over a thousand acres of fertile land. Jiang Ming plans to give his father-in-law 300 acres, and the rest will naturally be his own!
Just as he was pondering how to deal with Jin Feng, this 'goddess'... Nan Xiu arrived!
"Brother, let's go home quickly!"
Nanxiu said breathlessly, "Sister Xue has something important to tell you!"
Jiang Ming didn't dare to delay and quickly returned home with his two younger sisters, leaving all the aftermath to Old Master Chen...
Not only did Old Master Chen get grain, but he also gained 100 acres of fertile land. Now he has completely become a 'son-in-law slave,' and he is extremely obedient to Jiang Ming!
Back home, Jiang Ming saw Tuoba Ren covered in wounds and blood.
At this point, they didn't care about keeping their identities secret and asked him directly what happened.
Tuoba Ren's lips were pale, his voice barely audible, and his eyelids drooped as he recounted the events in broken sentences...
It turned out that when the Xianbei Khan was retreating and passing through the Lone Wolf Mountain Gorge, he was ambushed by the Xiongnu.
No fewer than 100,000 Xiongnu cavalry blocked the canyon... The Xianbei Khan tried to break out several times, but he could neither get out nor retreat!
Both sides are strong teams from the grasslands, and their numbers are not too disparate, so neither side can defeat the other for a while!
Although the Xiongnu had secured victory by taking advantage of their terrain, they clearly did not want to inflict too many casualties on their own side, so they wanted to wear down the Xianbei people.
There are no rivers in the canyon... You can kill a horse if you're hungry, but you can't just drink horse blood if you're thirsty!
Therefore, they planned to stall for several days until the Xianbei people's fighting strength would be greatly reduced, at which point they would launch a counterattack and annihilate them in one fell swoop!
Tuoba Ren led 20,000 cavalry in a desperate breakout attempt, hoping to return to the Xianbei to seek reinforcements, but they all perished under a hail of arrows...
He was stabbed more than a dozen times, his horse was dead, and he was also shot in the back with an arrow. He escaped by crawling through a pile of dead bodies.
It was no longer possible for them to walk back to the Xianbei to get reinforcements!
So they went straight into the mountains, hoping to find a chance to turn things around with the prince consort!
"Your Highness, Prince Consort!"
Tuoba Ren weakly grasped Jiang Ming's hand and said, "You have the Golden Knife... You can mobilize our Xianbei's most elite Hundred Treasures Iron Cavalry... Please, make a trip... cough cough!"
"How far is the Xianbei tribe from here?" Jiang Ming asked, frowning.
"About 300 li, cough cough cough!"
"Hiss~!" Jiang Ming gasped, thinking to himself, "This journey is a bit long."
Even if I rode there on horseback overnight, by the time I got there and back... my father-in-law would probably have already quit the game and returned to the desktop!
Moreover, there is a high possibility that there are patrolling Xiongnu cavalry along this route.
Because what you can think of, others can also think of...
The fact that the Xiongnu dared to wage a protracted war shows that they were certain that not a single person would be allowed to escape and return to report!
"My lord, please save my father, please save my father! Waaah!" Murong Xue pleaded, tears welling in her eyes, as she clung to Jiang Ming's arm.
At this moment, both Chen Damei and Chen Ermei were dumbfounded!
Before, she only knew that Murong Xue was a wild girl from the mountains.
Who would have thought... she was actually a princess!
"Honey, don't worry! I have a plan!"
After patting Murong Xue on the shoulder, he turned to his younger sister and said, "Use the healing methods I taught you before to quickly treat Lord Tuoba's injuries! Also, bring out all 500 taels of gold from our family!"
"Husband, what are you doing?" Chen Damei asked, completely bewildered.
