"Eat!" The black-haired monster was very satisfied with the woman's performance.
It took the woman a while to force herself to calm down.
Her body trembled uncontrollably. She raised her head and gave the black-haired monster a seductive smile, regardless of whether the monster understood her or not.
"I know a place where not only is there plenty of food, but also many beautiful women and children."
"Where?" The black-haired monster understood.
The leader of the troops that the black-haired monster brought out this time was named Wudati, a fierce general of the Five Barbarian Alliance.
He studied Han Chinese culture from a young age, so naturally he could understand Mandarin.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to talk to Udati, the woman quietly approached and, catching him off guard, pulled out the dagger that Udati had tied to his calf and held it horizontally in front of her chest.
Udati quickly took two steps back, staring at her with great interest, as if watching a dying prey.
After pointing out the location of the mountain stronghold to the Hu people, the woman raised a knife and plunged it into her own abdomen.
The intense pain caused her to collapse to the ground.
She was unwilling to accept it, her eyes filled with resentment. She had once been a young lady from a wealthy family, but she had been taken to the mountains by bandits. In order to survive, she used all her skills to please the bandit leader, who was older than her father, and finally became the bandit leader's legal wife.
The mountain stronghold was never short of women; the bandit leader took one beautiful woman after another as a concubine.
In order to win favor and to survive, they mocked her and even conspired to abort the children she had finally conceived.
What good is a beautiful concubine if she's still locked up in jail just like her?
One or two beautiful women were no match for her and her daughter. In prison, the mother and daughter tortured them in every way. The arrogant concubine with her pregnant belly was easily shoved and her head was instantly split open.
What's the point of getting pregnant? In the end, it's all the same; you'll die sooner or later.
Memories flashed before my eyes like frames of a film, finally settling on the bowl that had spilled onto the ground.
A slender, fair hand is in the bowl!
Seeing that the woman on the ground was gradually losing her breath, Udati squatted down, pulled out the dagger, wiped it casually on the tattered blanket, and then stuck it back into his calf.
He called out to his men outside the tent, "Men! Drag her out and have the brothers clean her with snow. We'll roast her later."
The weather was too cold to stay outdoors for long. Once the trees were almost all cut down, everyone started bundling them up and preparing to go home.
The henchmen who wanted to rob Lin Yinan ultimately didn't dare to make a move.
Back at the village, just as they were about to close the gate, Yun Qi, who had gone out to scout, returned.
Everyone stopped to watch out of curiosity.
He was wearing a thick fur coat with a plain white linen cloth wrapped around it. Lin Yinan glanced at him and realized that he was dressed exactly like a scout.
Yunmo, who had remained on the watchtower, came down.
Yun Qi quickly stepped forward and bowed. "Master, we have discovered a group of dozens of Hu cavalrymen camping in the woods about twenty miles away from the mountain stronghold. It looks like they are going into the mountains to hunt."
Upon hearing that the Hu people were in the woods, everyone was shocked and immediately wondered if the Hu people would soon discover the mountain stronghold.
A sense of crisis arose spontaneously, and everyone quickly looked at Yun Mo.
Yun Mo lived up to everyone's expectations and immediately gave the order.
"Immediately notify all the Yun family's secret guards. I'll go discuss this with my elder brother."
Since the villagers couldn't freely enter the council hall, they took the firewood they had chopped and went home.
Lin Yiheng told Lin Shuo and Lin Fu to take the firewood back first, and then he followed Yun Mo and the others into the council hall, with Lin Yinan carrying his bow and arrows behind him.
Soon, Yunye arrived with Yunyi and several of his secret guards.
The two brothers finally agreed that Yunmo would lead men to intercept or lure the cavalry away, so as not to expose the location of the mountain stronghold.
"Second Master Yun, please come with me." Lin Yiheng stepped forward and bowed.
The Yun brothers exchanged a glance. They had both witnessed Lin Yiheng's training with the secret guards during this period.
"The Hu cavalry are strong and powerful, with astonishing combat strength. They are not people that ordinary people can deal with, you..."
Yun Mo hesitated before speaking, but before he could finish, Lin Yiheng interrupted him.
"I have no prior combat experience, but I am not afraid. Please give me a chance, Third Master Yun."
Lin Yiheng spoke sincerely, and Yun Mo couldn't refuse, so he agreed.
"Once you're out there, you must follow orders."
Lin Yinan glanced at Lin Yiheng, whose confidence had greatly increased, and took two steps forward, her voice cold and clear.
Count me in.
“Anan, you…”
Lin Yinan raised her hand to stop him, her gaze sharp as she looked at Yun Mo.
Yun Mo felt a tightness in his chest when she looked at him, and he always felt that Miss Lin was looking at him with murderous intent lately.
Thinking of her performance in the last attack on the mountain stronghold, Yunye said, "Good, Miss Lin is truly a heroine who is no less capable than any man."
Lin Yiheng hesitated for a moment, but then, thinking of his sister's secret weapon, he tacitly agreed.
The main purpose of this trip was to avoid a direct confrontation with the Hu people and to lure them away.
Therefore, Yun Mo selected Yun Yi, Yun Er, Yun San, Yun Liu, and Yun Qi, along with several elite bodyguards, totaling fifteen people, and the Lin siblings.
As soon as they left the council hall, Lin Yuanzhi, Lin Tiezhuang, and Liu Ji rushed over with their swords, requesting to go with them.
Yun Mochi and the others had trained with the secret guards and had explained the dangers of this mission to them.
Unexpectedly, the three of them were determined and insisted on going together.
Yun Mo had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Lin Yuanzhi is the eldest grandson of the clan leader. His father only knows how to farm. As the eldest grandson, Lin Yuanzhi's future is uncertain. His grandfather told him to follow the Yun family closely and not to be afraid of suffering losses.
Lin Tiezhuang's elder brother, Lin Tiezhu, died under the blade of the Hu people. He wanted to fight for a better future for his mother, who had worked hard all her life, and his five nephews. It seems that all his previous choices were correct.
The group arrived at the woods where the Hu people were encamped at dusk.
From a great distance, you could see the Hu people sitting around a fire, eating meat and drinking wine.
The smoky smell carried far by the wind, and Lin Yinan immediately sensed that something was wrong with the meat. She lay prone on the ground, quietly pulled down her scarf, put on a mask underneath, and then wrapped the scarf around herself again.
But the smell still managed to get in through the thick mask.
"The meat doesn't taste right!" Lin Yinan whispered to the others.
Lin Yiheng, Lin Yuanzhi, and the others looked at her, somewhat confused by what she was saying.
"Something's not right. I think it smells pretty good."
Yun Mo raised a thick eyebrow. "They eat human flesh."
He stared coldly at the Hu people by the fire and continued, "Look at what's hanging on that tree over there?"
The crowd looked in the direction he indicated and saw two heads swaying in the wind, while a nearby barbarian was gnawing on a charred hand.
They tried their best to suppress the nausea and vomiting, lowered their heads, and dared not look any further.
Yun Er's eyes were sharp. He stared at the head on the tree for a long time. The head, covered in blood and with messy hair, turned around.
