Chapter 61 [Khan Meets Xin's Army]
There are tents of all sizes scattered across the grassland. There are few trees and sparse forests here, and the few wooden houses are used as cells to hold serious criminals.
Yan Chaoyue planned to keep the two troublesome pythons here first.
Many of these serious criminals were ministers who were dissatisfied with the current Khan or children of prominent tribal families.
They were rebellious and disobeyed orders, but because of their grassland clan background they could not be easily killed, so they had to be imprisoned here.
Seeing Yan Chaoyue coming in, the prisoners in the cell booed and started to provoke him.
"Barbarian! You're still alive!"
"If you only have a lot of arrogance, you'll be killed by those Central Plains people sooner or later on the battlefield."
......
These arrogant men were quite frightening, with murderous aura all over their bodies, and it was obvious that their hands were stained with the blood of many people.
However, thinking that these people were now locked in cages, Yan Chaoyue was not very scared. Moreover, after the memories that emerged in his mind matched the faces of these people, he was even less afraid.
This guy who called her a barbarian had just delivered a sheep for him three days ago. His grandmother affectionately held her hand and asked her to come for dinner often.
The guy who cursed himself was on his way to make rounds last week. His sister stuffed a handkerchief into his pocket and gave him a little rabbit. She probably wanted to make friends with him and exchange experiences in raising rabbits.
.......
After looking around, Yan Chao became calmer and calmer. He carefully observed the structure of the cell. In order to save wood, the prisoners were locked in wooden cages. These wooden cages were nailed to the ground and placed with gaps to prevent the prisoners from touching each other.
The cage was less than ten feet wide, while the room was two feet high. The top floor was not empty either. A half-layer partition was made with wooden boards, and some grains and hay that were easily affected by moisture were placed there, and used as a warehouse.
Yan Chaoyue was very satisfied with the structure of the cell. The partitions and the top floors of the wooden cages in these rooms could serve as climbing frames for pythons.
Faced with the provocation of these prisoners, Xin Ningyu, who was disguised as a guard and staying beside Yan Chaoyue, became annoyed and blew his beard angrily.
But seeing Yan Chaoyue so calm, Xin Ningyu clenched his fists and held back.
Her father and brother always said that she had a hot temper and needed to be more patient and calm. She couldn't afford to lose to this little coward Yan Chaoyue in terms of composure.
One of the young men with a face full of flesh was the troublemaker among the group. He also had the most powerful background. Both his grandfather and father had served as generals in the grassland cavalry.
He threatened arrogantly, "If you capture me, my father won't help you anymore. Can you suppress the grassland cavalry?"
Yan Chaoyue raised his eyes and glanced at him indifferently: "Your grandfather treated me to a roasted whole lamb yesterday to thank me for curing his family's Ferghana horse that had been lame for many years."
The troublemaker's expression changed. "Impossible? Not even the high priest could cure my grandfather's Ferghana horse!"
"How can you do that?"
Yan Chaoyue pulled out a whistle made of animal teeth from his sleeve: "Oh, your grandfather gave me your most beloved pony to thank me."
The prickly young man recognized that this was the whistle used to train horses in his family, and his eyes widened immediately. He felt the heartache of being betrayed by his family!
He grasped the cage weakly, his arrogance suddenly drained away.
The other prisoners were speechless. They hadn't been out for so long. Had the world changed? Wasn't the Bol Grassland in chaos right now?
After observing the structure of the cell, Yan Chaoyue asked the guards to blindfold these people.
The prisoners felt uneasy because their vision was blocked. Although the Khan had used torture before, he did not dare to go too far, and their families would also object and put pressure on them.
"Alendardendra, what are you up to?!"
"Do you think that if you torture us, we'll obey your orders? My family has been tough men on the grasslands for generations!"
"I am a man of steel and will never yield to your tyranny!"
The prisoners were blindfolded with black cloth and their hands were tied with hemp ropes.
Some people wanted to beat up the guards who came in, but their hands and feet were cut by Xin Ningyu's quick, accurate and ruthless swordsmanship.
Everyone was astonished. Wasn't the Khan almost sidelined? How could such a powerful figure be around him?
After everyone was covered with cloth and their hands were tied, the guards went out to wait for orders.
Yan Chaoyue clicked on the unclaimed python red envelope, and then immediately pulled Xin Ningyu out of the door!
Yan Chaoyue ordered his men to lock the door and not to open it or look no matter what noise came from inside.
Through the small hole in the door, Yan Chaoyue saw that there were two huge blue-black pythons with tattoos in the cell, one of which was more than ten feet long.
They climbed on the cages with their tongues spitting out, and were very curious about the surrounding environment. Their connection with their original owners was cut off, and they were not as furious as when they attacked the Zhaoping Marquis Mansion.
Yan Chaoyue breathed a sigh of relief, clenched the green bamboo flute in his hand, and his heart beat like a drum.
Yan Chaoyue had ordered people to seal up all the doors and windows on all sides of the cell, leaving only small holes for ventilation and the main door at the front.
After the prisoners in the cell were blindfolded, they felt that at a certain moment, time suddenly slowed down.
The air became silent, and a creepy sound was heard.
The troublemaker who had challenged Yan Chaoyue before was very strong and had a lot of flesh on his body. At this time, one of the pythons coiled around his cage and its tongue pierced through the cage and hit him in the face.
“Ahhhhhh!”
Yan Chaoyue and Xin Ningyu only heard a sharp explosion in the cell.
Yan Chaoyue pointed the small bamboo flute in his hand at the other small hole in the door, and then practiced the Miaojiang snake-controlling music while observing the movements of the two big snakes inside.
The music score was taught to Yan Chaoyue by Xin Ningyu last night. Because he was unfamiliar with the music score, Yan Chaoyue's connection with the snake was sometimes effective and sometimes not. The one who suffered was the prisoner in the cage. He was either hit by the snake's tail on the cage or had to stick to the snake's tongue.
At this time, someone must have rubbed the cloth off his face.
"Help, is this a python?"
"Khan, please, let us out!"
"I acknowledge that you are the new supreme king of the Bol Grassland!"
Yan Chaoyue listened to the wailing and shouting inside: "Is that it? A man of steel? A tough, iron-blooded man of the grassland?"
Xin Ningyu looked at the complacent Yan Chaoyue and said, "Who wouldn't be able to stand living with two giant pythons all day and night?"
She made a move to open the door: "Why don't you go in and blow it? Maybe you can improve faster."
Yan Chaoyue shook his head like a rattle.
"Khan, urgent news—"
The sound of hurried footsteps was heard, and Yan Chaoyue's confidant Tuoba Song came jogging over. He glanced at the unfamiliar guard beside Yan Chaoyue.
Yan Chaoyue: "It's okay, just talk, we're one family."
"Our cavalry team encountered soldiers from the Northern Border Kingdom at Yunguan Mountain. They were fighting a group of Dasheng soldiers."
