Long Dan is quite experienced in dealing with this kind of situation.
He first knocked out two men with two chopsticks, and then asked Jiang Si: "What do you think we should do with them?"
Although it was extremely evil for these two bastards to steal his roasted rabbit leg, they would not kill them. He was not a murderer.
Jiang Si walked over and looked down at the two unconscious men.
Looking closely, both men were tall and had slightly rough skin.
"These are two foreigners." Jiang Si spoke.
Elder Hua did not follow, but stayed where he was. He raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words.
Long Dan was startled and pointed at the two people and said, "Aren't they from the Great Zhou?"
It seems that there is no difference. Da Zhou speaks very fluently.
Thinking of this, Long Dan couldn't help but glance at Elder Hua.
This old lady was not from the Great Zhou either, but if he hadn’t known her identity in advance, he wouldn’t have been able to tell.
Old Qin, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up: "This guy just shouted something, and it sounded like Northern Qi was speaking."
Lao Qin was referring to the older man.
The man blurted out this out of anger because Lao Qin had splashed a pot of hot porridge on him just now.
"Northern Qi?" Long Dan stroked his chin, murderous intent in his eyes, "This is already south of the capital, how could the Northern Qi people appear here for no reason?"
There was no formal war between the Great Zhou and Northern Qi in recent years, but small conflicts occasionally broke out on the border.
In other words, it was the Northern Qi people who unilaterally plundered the people living in the border areas of the Great Zhou.
The Northern Qi were a nation on horseback, and their lives were hard and resources were scarce. So robbing the people of the Great Zhou of their food, cloth and other supplies became a shortcut to improving their lives.
Of course, the Great Zhou army stationed in the north would counterattack, but the Northern Qi people were the type who would take and run, making it difficult to guard against and cause unbearable trouble.
Over the years, as long as there was no large-scale conflict or it happened right under their noses, these garrison troops could only turn a blind eye.
In terms of fighting power, the people of Da Zhou were not as good as the people of Northern Qi. The people of Northern Qi, who grew up eating beef and mutton and drinking cow and sheep milk, were all tall and strong, with superb riding skills.
"Look, these two men are indeed taller than the average men in our Great Zhou. But this man only shouted one sentence, and I didn't hear clearly what he shouted. Lao Qin, can you be sure that these two people are from Northern Qi?" Long Dan walked around the two people on the ground with curiosity and vigilance.
He had dealt with people from Southern Lan many times, and if these two people were from Northern Qi, then this would be his first time dealing with them.
Lao Qin squatted down and pulled the older man's clothes while saying, "When I was young, I once served in the Northern Land Defense Force."
Long Dan then remembered Lao Qin's background and said with a smile: "I had forgotten that you were a general of Qin."
"What General Qin?" Old Qin obviously didn't want to talk about the past and quickened his hands.
Seeing this, Long Dan hurriedly said, "Lao Qin, the master is still here, what do you want to do?"
Lao Qin raised his head and glanced at Jiang Si.
He always thought that the princess didn't care about these people, but after Long Dan's reminder, it was indeed inappropriate to strip a man's clothes in front of the princess.
"Are you looking for something? Don't worry, just look for it." Jiang Si said calmly.
Is she the type who gets shy when seeing a man with his shirt stripped off? No kidding, if you have the time, you might as well quickly determine the purpose of these two foreigners appearing here.
With Jiang Si's words, Lao Qin let go of his hands and feet and quickly tore open the man's cotton coat, exposing his chest.
The man's exposed chest was thickly hairy, with a tattoo in the middle.
When Lao Qin saw the tattoo, he said with certainty, "This man is undoubtedly from Northern Qi."
As he spoke, he pulled the young man's clothes again and saw a tattoo on his chest.
Long Dan approached curiously and asked hesitantly, "The pattern on this man's chest is a wolf's head, right?"
Lao Qin nodded. "That man's tattoo is a wolf's head, and this man's tattoo is an eagle. Wolves and eagles are both objects of worship for the Northern Qi people, symbolizing force and nobility. Northern Qi men are accustomed to tattooing wolves or eagles on their chests, which can be regarded as a mark to confirm their identity."
Jiang Si looked at them for a moment and murmured, "These two people pretended to be from the Great Zhou and were fluent in the Great Zhou language. What is their purpose in coming here? Long Dan, can you find out?"
Long Dan smiled and said, "This is my first time dealing with Northern Qi people. I will try my best, but I need your cooperation."
"How to cooperate?"
Long Dan whispered a few words, and the three people, including Jiang Si, all looked strange.
I didn't expect Long Dan to be this kind of person.
After an unknown amount of time, the young man moved his eyelids and opened his eyes.
What I saw were broken Buddha statues and dark walls, and the aroma of barbecue filled my nose.
After a brief moment of confusion, the young man immediately closed his eyes again and quietly moved his hands and feet.
My hands and feet are not tied!
That pretty boy knocked them out and then just left them there?
The young man opened his eyes a little and turned his gaze towards the direction of the fire and the strong fragrance.
An old woman, a young girl, a slovenly man and a pretty boy.
The firelight illuminated their faces, allowing the young man to see them clearly.
These people haven't left yet... they're still barbecuing!
Realizing this, the young man's first reaction was anger.
After he and his elder brother were knocked unconscious, these people continued to grill meat as if nothing had happened? They really didn't take them seriously. It was so insulting!
The young man moved his fingers and was about to take action when a sound suddenly came from the other side.
It was the pretty boy who was talking: "Hey, one roasted rabbit is not enough for four people to share, not even enough to fill their teeth, and yet someone actually brought it to the door of a dilapidated temple in the heavy snow."
The young man was startled, and inexplicably felt a chill in his heart when he heard these words.
Then the sloppy man said, "Please cut it a little. The meat on the leg is too thick to be tasty."
"Okay."
Then there was the sizzling sound of fat dripping into the fire.
The young man suddenly felt nervous and looked towards the fire.
There was a piece of leg meat on the fire, and it looked like only the middle part of the leg had been taken out, and it was being skewered on a thick branch and roasted by the sloppy man. The skin had been roasted to a golden brown, and the rich aroma was coming from there.
The pretty boy poked the thick piece of leg meat with a dagger and said worriedly: "What a pity, the leg meat of an adult man is still a bit thick, and the taste will be worse."
The sloppy man turned the barbecue over without changing his expression and said, "It's nice to have something to eat on a snowy day like this."
The pretty boy touched his chin and said, "Yes, and there were two of them at once. We roasted them overnight and made them into jerky. We can eat them for a long time. But I tell you, the meat of women and children is still tastier..."
The young man glanced to the side with a stiff expression and saw a boot.
Those are shoes for older men.
The young man jumped up and ran away.
