"What did you say?"
It could be seen that Huhe Hao was no stranger to the Third Master.
Although Tang Si's father wasn't the leader of Hou Liao, he was one of Hou Liao's fierce generals. Speaking of Hou Liao, who didn't know him? Back when the Third Master had shaken the grasslands, he hadn't yet made a name for himself.
Judging from Huhe Hao's gaze and expression, he was somewhat afraid of that Third Master.
But it wasn't fear! "Currently, on this prairie, only Hou Liao is evenly matched with your Yue Dan, so your relationship is very tense. If your Yue Dan wants to charge into the Central Plains, you must first annex Hou Liao. But even if your Yue Dan's power has increased greatly these past few years and you have annexed many tribes, Hou Liao is still alive.
The grasslands have been dominated for more than a hundred years. You don't dare to act rashly, lest both sides suffer great losses. In order to have the confidence to swallow Hou Liao in one go, you brought people from the westernmost part of the grasslands to set up camp here. The reason why you haven't started a war with Hou Liao yet is because … "
She stopped talking.
The sinister smile on Ma Yinghao's face gradually disappeared following her words.
"Because of what?"
He was nervous.
"Because you're still waiting!"
Uh.
Huhe Hao's expression tensed.
His motive had been completely seen through.
Hence, his first reaction was to slide the dagger in his hand to Ji Yunshu's neck again.
He questioned, "What else do you know?"
Ji Yunshu smiled. "Looks like … I guessed right."
"Guess?" "I am indeed just guessing. You people were able to annex so many tribes in just a few years. Hou Liao is right in front of you, yet you people are stationed here and not attacking him. This is not your style, Huhe Hao. Therefore, I am guessing that you are waiting for a troop to gather here before you start the war against Hou Liao.
Based on your reaction just now, I think I guessed correctly. "
Not only did she know his name.
Furthermore, she was so clear about his intentions.
This woman was not only attractive, she was terrifying!
Ma Yinghao's face scrunched up, his eyes filled with vigilance. The dagger in his hand had already made a small cut on Ji Yunshu's neck.
Blood flowed out bit by bit.
"Who are you?" "Who I am isn't important. What's important is that Hou Liao's people must be looking for me everywhere. Very soon, they will find this place, and in order to save me, they will do whatever it takes. The two sides will definitely start a war, and your reinforcements haven't arrived yet.
Just like meat on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered! "She enunciated each word clearly.
"You …" Ma Yinghao gripped the dagger tightly.
He could have killed this woman!
"I, Yuan Haohao, have never been threatened before."
"Then I'll be the first person to threaten you."
The next moment, Ma Yinghao suddenly threw away the dagger in his hand and grabbed her neck with one hand.
His thumb was pressed against the wound caused by the dagger.
The pain spread from the wound to his entire body.
It made everyone's body tense up.
"Do you know that I can kill you right now?"
She said fearlessly, "You … can try."
Hu Hehao looked fiercely at the prey in his hand, and the strength of his grip on her neck increased.
Ji Yunshu found it hard to breathe.
His entire face was flushed red.
However, she refused to give in. There was tenacity in her ink-black eyes.
Ma Yinghao could have taken her life right now, but he hesitated.
Finally …
He let go of her.
Then, he got up from her body.
"Cough, cough, cough …" Ji Yunshu turned to the side and coughed hard.
Finally, he could breathe a sigh of relief.
Ma Yinghao looked at her condescendingly. "Before things are clear, I won't take your life. If I keep you alive, there might be some benefits." He shouted towards the outside, "Guards!"
Two people immediately came in.
They thought they would see a chaotic scene, but they didn't expect to see such an unexpected scene.
"Take her away and lock her up. Watch her carefully."
"Yes!"
Thus, Ji Yunshu was dragged up from the ground like a piece of merchandise.
She was taken away.
Yuan Haohao thought for a long time, then he called his trusted subordinate, Amulang.
"Chief?"
He ordered, "Send someone to investigate immediately. See if Hou Liao's people are looking for someone."
"Did something happen?"
"Just go and check it out first."
"Yes!"
Amulang received the order and left immediately.
Hu Hehao sat down, bent his knee, and put his hand on it.
Who was that woman?
How did she know the purpose of his trip?
She was from the Central Plains, not from Hou Liao. How did she know the Third Master of Hou Liao?
Moreover …
Why would the Third Master start a war for her?
It was impossible!
Actually, he wasn't afraid of the Third Master. It was just like what Ji Yunshu said. He was waiting for his reinforcements to arrive. If they started a war now, he, Yue Dan, would definitely be at a disadvantage. He might even … lose.
He never fought a war he wasn't confident of winning!
…
Ji Yunshu was locked in a small and simple tent. There was nothing inside.
"Grrr …"
Her stomach was growling.
She hadn't eaten for a whole day!
She was fine even if she didn't eat for three days and three nights. This time, she couldn't even last a day. It was obvious that she had put in a lot of effort today.
The wound on her neck was getting more and more painful.
When she touched it, she felt a burning pain.
She couldn't help but click her tongue.
At this moment …
A voice suddenly came from outside, "Chief has ordered that no one is allowed in."
"Get out of the way!"
"Bai Yin …"
It was Bai Yin!
He ignored the people outside who tried to stop him and rushed in.
The people had no choice but to let him go.
When Ji Yunshu saw him come in, she intentionally took a few steps back.
She was on guard!
Bai Yin first stood in front of her, then suddenly sat opposite her.
They were like two old friends.
"I won't eat you. Why are you so afraid?" He took out a white bottle from his clothes and threw it at her, saying, "This is medicine for knife wounds."
Huh?
Ji Yunshu looked at the bottle beside her. It was very small and delicate.
"It's not poison. Don't worry," he said.
She didn't know why, but she strangely trusted him.
She picked up the bottle and opened it. She poured some powder on her fingers and wiped it on her neck.
She asked Bai Yin, "Why did you capture me?"
This was the question she had always wanted to ask.
