Chapter 476 Agree, I Dare Not Agree
Matouqin looked at Chen Changan angrily. He said it and he could do it!
"You're not talking? I'll take that as your agreement." Chen Changan handed the steel knife to Lao Ma, "Many of my brothers are injured. You stay and treat them!"
"If you fail to cure my ten brothers, I will let one of your people go."
The horse-head fiddle sneered, ten for one?
The lives of your soldiers are important, but the lives of my men are not important?
"You have no right to refuse, and I don't have the patience to talk nonsense with you. If you don't agree, you will die."
Chen Changan took out his musket and fired a shot into the sky.
Although this thing kills people very quickly, it is still not as satisfying as chopping off heads with a knife. Chen Changan can only deal with it and said with gritted teeth.
"If you can't revive my companions, and you kill one, I'll kill five, five for one!"
"Is that fair?"
Fair, it’s so damn fair!
But there is no way. Now the enemy is strong and we are weak. Ma Tou Tou can only sneer and say: "Don't worry, as long as your people don't go to hell, he won't die!"
"But remember, I won't let you go!"
This kind of threat is basically useless to An, and Matouqin will go back to work for the Xixia people.
But Chen Changan didn't know what was done, because Matouqin asked Chen Changan to take his men away, and he only said a few words to his subordinates, and his men relaxed.
Chen Changan originally wanted to return to the campsite with the horse-head fiddle, but a scout came to report that a group of scouts of unknown number were heading towards their location.
This is the advantage of Chen Changan dividing his troops.
No matter which combat unit is discovered, they can inform in time and move quickly.
Too few people won't do, too many people...
Do you still want Yanmen Pass?
"Pass the order down, go ahead, and we'll talk about it when we camp tonight."
This pair of scouts probably knew the news about Cangqiong Sand City and came to inquire about Chen Changan's location. Chen Changan immediately moved.
"Young master, do you know what the vast ocean is?" Old Ma asked with a chuckle while sitting on his horse.
"The vast sea is covered with hundreds of feet of ice, and gloomy clouds gather for thousands of miles." Chen Changan curled his lips, "Of course I know, the desert."
"It's enough to know." Old Ma shook his head and said, "The Xixia people are very smart. They built a city in the vast sea, surrounded by the desert for protection. Outsiders can't get in at all."
"What I want to ask is, why can I get there?"
Chen Changan was confused: "Are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid of anything." Old Ma shook his head and said, "I just feel sorry for the young master. These young men are all fine! To put it bluntly, you are all half-grown children... Hey!"
Chen Changan laughed out loud: "Every man has a share of responsibility for the fate of his country."
Old Ma nodded deeply and patted his forehead: "By the way, Master, I felt something strange in Cangqiong Sand City that day. With your ability, you naturally wouldn't kill the enemy commander with one blow, but you did it!"
"Don't you think it's strange?"
"What's so strange? You are impressed by my aura."
"That's pretty scary." Lao Ma said seriously, "Su He has been through a lot of battles, so it's hard for him to be scared. I suspect..."
"You have an expert to help you."
Chen Changan obviously didn't believe it: "Master? Aren't you the master beside me?"
Lao Ma shook his head, he was not talking about her.
"Do you feel that... the horse-head fiddle seems to have some history?"
Old Ma looked at him strangely: "Origin? Isn't the Xixia people her origin?"
"Didn't the Xixia people make their fortunes from medicinal herbs? If a Xixia person knows so much, it means she comes from a wealthy family. But do wealthy people exist in Xixia?"
"So, we can conclude that the horse-head fiddle came from the official's family after all."
"Also, did you see the fire in those guards' eyes? That's a sign of their fearlessness and bravery, so I concluded that Matouqin is definitely not a businessman."
"Even if it is, they should be the descendants of high-ranking officials."
Old Ma thought about it and realized that what Chen Changan said was not wrong: "Master, I will go and ask for you."
"Ask? How?"
Old Ma licked his lips and said, "Just ask directly. If you don't tell me, will you warm the young master's bed tonight?"
Chen Changan laughed out loud. This old Ma’s head was full of dirty thoughts.
Since there was no Xixia people in sight, Chen Changan followed Lao Ma to the carriage at the back.
Because they were in a hurry, Li Yuanhao was the only one driving the carriage. They saw Matouqin force-feeding medicine to Yue Shan and stabbing the knife in his palm towards the arrow.
Just as Lao Ma was about to speak, Chen Changan stopped her and shook his head slightly.
Because the flesh around the wound has rotted, in order to pull out the arrow, the surrounding area must be cleaned.
puff!
A stream of black blood spurted out and splashed all over the horse-head fiddle's face.
** An hurried over and wiped the horse-head fiddle with the towel on his body: "You concentrate on the treatment, and leave the rest to me."
Matouqin looked back at him, his face full of vigilance.
Li Yuanhao translated it, Matouqin curled his lips and continued cutting the rotten meat.
After all, it has been a few days, and the strands of black fascia on the rotten flesh are twisting in the dim light, as if there is still some struggle of life left.
Matouqin's eyes were focused, without any disgust, and his slender fingers held the handle of the knife firmly.
The yellow-green pus oozed out slowly, and the pungent smell instantly filled the air, making Lao Ma feel nauseous, but the horse-head fiddle seemed oblivious.
After about a cup of tea, the rotten meat was gradually removed.
She quickly took out a few herbs from the medicine box beside her, crushed them or rubbed them, and skillfully applied them to the wound of the injured person, and then bandaged it with layers of clean white cloth.
Chen Changan breathed a sigh of relief: "We have good cooperation."
Li Yuanhao was stunned. He couldn't translate this.
The horse-head fiddle turned around and said a lot to Chen Changan. Li Yuanhao translated: "It seems that this is for the general, your confidant. I want his life in exchange for the lives of fifty of my tribesmen."
Chen Changan opened his eyes wide: "Are you raising the price?"
"So what? If you don't let him go, then kill ten of my tribesmen. I don't care." Matouqin was very tough. "But this man will definitely die."
"you!"
"What do you mean by 'I'? Do you agree or not?"
Matouqin sneered: "I drained his poisonous blood. Even if it temporarily saved his life, if you want me to continue the treatment, you must follow my way!"
"Fifty people, no less!"
Chen Changan was a little angry: "Why, do you think you can control me?"
"Is it impossible? Then please kill me, Master Chen."
Matouqin was ready to die and didn't care about life or death at all, but she added: "If I die, this person must die too, one life for another!"
Chen Changan: “…”
After thinking it over, what other options did Chen Changan have?
If he agreed to Matouqin's request, he would have to release many of her tribesmen, but Yue Shan would finally have a glimmer of hope; if he didn't release them, to be honest, Chen Changan was afraid that Matouqin was right!
"Okay, I promise you!" After thinking for a long time, Chen Changan could only agree.
"You promise?"
To be honest, Matouqin was just testing the waters, but when he saw Chen Changan agreed without hesitation, he immediately smiled.
"How about sixty?"
"Ma! Tou! Qin!" Chen Changan knew that this was not her name, but just a code name. "Don't go too far. My patience has its limits!"
"My patience is limited."
Matouqin raised his eyebrows and said, "So, you release half of my people... What? You don't agree? Then you might as well just kill me."
Chen Changan punched the carriage!
Damn, it feels so bad to be controlled by others!
"Do you agree or not?" the Matouqin pressed on.
"Promise, how dare I not agree?"
Chen Changan gritted his teeth, jumped off the carriage, thought about it and felt unsatisfied, so he said some wise words.
