Chapter 81 The female soldier (2)
But she suddenly remembered that she had heard Li Youde say before that it was because the Xi people were arrested and Great Liang refused to let them go. This led to the unexpected and grave consequences of the Xi people battling over to here.
“I don’t know,” Chen Hui was not stupid enough to ask about what she was confused about and expose herself of knowing after having just said that she didn’t know anything. She just shook her head with a blank expression.
“Your Great Liang was unreasonable first,” Yatai wasn’t surprised that Chen Hui didn’t know. Her lips curled up and she said with some dissatisfaction, “We just wanted to exchange some things with you, but your officer insisted for us to pay some toll tax. I have never heard of a toll tax. We didn’t pay and they detained our people.”
That is because you haven’t heard of modern tolls…
Chen Hui didn’t know whether this “toll tax” was in the name of the imperial court or that the county magistrate of Jianbei set this up in his name to earn money. However, she felt that this was a bloody murder caused by a steamed bun.
“About this toll tax…Some places are indeed subjected to this tax…,” Chen Hui glanced at Yatai cautiously and discovered that Yatai still seemed to know what this tax was…as for understanding it or not, agree or disagree, that was another matter.
“What about Jianbei City? I haven’t heard of it having the tax before,” Yatai asked the key question.
“I also don’t know. This probably should be asked to those officers,” Chen Hui said.
Yatai propped her chin and said nonchalantly, “Forget it. So, you understand what I mean?”
“Master Yatai wants me to stay to help you do business?” Chen Hui wasn’t willing to pretend to be stupid at this time. Only someone shrewd enough was qualified to be a businessman. And only if she was qualified to be a businesswoman could she be useful to them and could she ensure her safety!
“Yes,” Yatai smiled in admiration, “If you agree, I can guarantee your safety.”
“This is a great thing. How could I not agree?” Chen Hui showed excitement, but soon hesitated, “However, has the war not just started? One couldn’t do business like this…”
“We won’t fight anymore after two more days,” Yatai said faintly, “Jianbei City is too strong to be defeated. If we fight for a few more days, maybe Jianbei City would seek peace. By then, we won’t fight anymore.”
Yatai’s words were faint and relaxed, but Chen Hui was scared witless when she heard them. Yatai seemed to have a higher status in the Xi tribe than she had imagined. When she said, they won’t fight anymore, then they don’t fight anymore…
She really wished that she had a phone at this time and could quickly call Li Youde to let him send someone to have a talk of peace and get her back as soon as possible…There were many merchants who could do business. She wouldn’t be missed! Moreover, she is a counterfeit good!
“What if Jianbei City doesn’t come to ask for peace?” Chen Hui asked.
“It will be troublesome then,” Yatai thought for a moment and laughed, “We can only continue to fight then. Although Jianbei City is strong, it isn’t like that there is no way. It is just that there will be some price to pay.”
“What way?” Chen Hui tried to make her tone sound curious rather than her purpose of probing.
Yatai cast her a glance and said, “Of course, I can’t tell you this. It’s also fine if you want to know. After I tell you, I will kill you.”
Chen Hui quickly shook her head, “I, I don’t want to know any more!” She wasn’t a scientist who longs for the ultimate mystery of the universe and was willing to be destroyed after hearing it. To survive, she was happy to be naïve and a fool!
Yatai smiled again. She was probably satisfied with Chen Hui’s reaction.
“How many people like you are in Great Liang’s army?” Yatai asked.
Chen Hui hesitated and said, “I don’t know.” The less she lies, the better.
Yatai said in surprise, “Have you never seen anyone?”
“No,” Chen Hui shook her head.
“Can you handle everyone alone? I couldn’t tell,” Yatai looked up and down at Chen Hui. Her expression was a bit unfathomable.
“…No, I only serve one,” Chen Hui quickly said and blushed under Yatai’s undisguised gaze.
“Oh, no wonder,” Yatai smiled ambiguously, “Then, you dressing as a man is for?”
“It was this sir who made me dress like this to put a wool over people’s eyes…,” Chen Hui said hurriedly, “He said that the Jianbei’s situation is changing rapidly now and it is too dangerous to be there…,” She skipped over this part without elaborating too much, “That was why I was there and have been captured by master Yatai.”
“That person treated you affectionately,” Yatai said as she stood up, “Sit here for a while. I will go out and ask about the other people’s interrogation.”
Chen Hui nodded obediently. She knew that Yatai was going to ask the other people for evidence of what she said. And if Yatai found out that she was lying, she might die. Although this beautiful female warrior used gentle language, Chen Hui could tell that she wasn’t a compassionate and lenient person. However, Chen Hui was not worried about being exposed. She had already looked before. No one had originally been brought by Li Youde among those who had been captured. They didn’t recognize her at all. The testimony that Yatai would get would either have nothing to do with her or never contradict what she had said.
Chen Hui sat nervously for a while. When the curtain of the tent was suddenly opened, she looked at the person who came in. Unexpectedly, it was a man who came in.
Chen Hui got a fright and hurriedly got up and backed away. She looked at him warily.
The man looked at Chen Hui in confusion frowned and said something, but Chen Hui couldn’t understand.
“I don’t understand what you are saying,” Chen Hui said.
He blinked and switched to Great Liang’s language, “Where is princess Yatai?”
“She went out and will be back later,” Chen Hui replied. Princess? Yatai is the daughter of the leader of the Xi tribe? This person’s Great Liang’s language was not bad. She should’ve heard it right.
“Oh,” The man walked in, sat on the bed and looked bored at Chen Hui.
Chen Hui was so uncomfortable under his gaze. She could only stare at the ground and only looked at him from the corners of her eyes.
“Who are you?” He asked.
“I am princess Yatai’s prisoner,” Chen Hui whispered.
He was dumbstruck and looked at Chen Hui carefully as if he was confirming something. He asked hesitantly, “Did princess say for me not to come?”
“No,” Chen Hui was very curious about what he was here for but she resisted asking.
That person nodded as if he was relieved and said nothing more.
It was unknown how long this weird atmosphere was in a stalemate when the curtain opened and Yatai came in. She glanced at the man who appeared in her tent. She wasn’t surprised and only said to Chen Hui, “Do you want to go out first or stay here?”
“What?” Chen Hui didn’t know that she has the right to choose.
Yatai raised an eyebrow and smiled without speaking. She took off the armor on her body. That man actually leaned over, grabbed Yatai’s waist and kissed her earlobe.
Yatai looked at Chen Hui with a smile.
“I, I, I will go out!” Chen Hui panicked and ran out.
Behind her, Yatai said, “Don’t go too far. I have something to tell you afterwards.”
Before Chen Hui could answer, she heard ambiguous moans behind her, scaring her that she fled from the tent. She stopped ten meters away from the tent.
To be honest, she prided herself for being an old hand and had also decently seduced Li Youde before. However, it was a different thing when others perform a live sex show in front of her. Really…
Hearing the faint noises coming from behind, Chen Hui walked a few steps further.
Really too exciting!
