Chapter 98 Thousand horses galloping, very lovely tonight! (2)
When the horses began a riot, Zhao Zimu took advantage that the Xiongnu were in chaos and rushed out with all the imperial soldiers. They immediately changed their clothes after killing a group of Xiongnu. After Muke found out, there was no way and time to deal with it.
Because in addition to the horses on the horse breeding ground, some of the horses on the camp had also drank the water from that river. Now, their people were in panic and their horses were in a disorder. Even if they received the news, there was no time to search for them. It would also be too late if they sent people to inform the leaders of the tribes to let them mobilize people to look for them. Now, they could only subdue the horses while being alert of the escaping soldiers and horses.
Seeing Muke who was stamping with fury, Zhao Zimu smiled in satisfaction. She had already let the soldiers leave during the chaos with the map she gave them. A few days later, they would meet Zhang Xin’s group in the valley. She stayed just to watch the current situation that would make people comfortable. Afterwards, she can go back to tell Lin Qing to relieve his anger.
Zhao Zimu looked at her current position very satisfied because the atmosphere of this not eye-catching place was really different from the tensed ambiance of the Xiongnu court.
Well, how should one put it? The place where she stood was near a wide tent. When everyone was busy subduing those horses, only the people of this place were very relaxed and even somewhat concealedly taking joy in the calamity of others.
However, their joy was soon smashed. During this tense time, Muke didn’t forget his dear younger brother Tata. After inadvertently seeing Tata watching the show secretly, he commanded Tata to join the people who were subduing the horses with his people.
Tata spat fiercely, looked once with bitter resentment at Muke and them moved with his people.
Zhao Zimu who was in a hidden place, smiled and followed him. When she also grabbed a horse, she threw a piece of sand stone at the most fragile horse’s buttock, causing the already frantic horse to hurt more. The horse unbearably raised his hoof and violently wanted to step on Tata’s chest.
Tata’s eyes widened in surprise. The personal guards not far away from him stumbled at the same time for some reason. Hence, no one could save him at this moment. Tata immediately drew out his machete and pierced the horse’s neck, but even if he stabbed the horse now, the heavy and fierce hoof would still fall towards him.
When Tata panicked and was trying to avoid the hoof sideways, a hand suddenly appeared in front of him. It was slender, pale and powerful. She suddenly grabbed the whip in his hand, and before the fierce hoof of the horse fell, she pulled the whip with force.
With a bang, a huge amount of dust splashed in front of Tata, causing many Xiongnu soldiers to turn their head and look over here.
Seeing the whip in Tata’s hand and the horse that had fallen on the ground in front of him, they let out a surprised cheer. They had never discovered that their third prince had such supernatural powers. They really admired him!
Looking at the fallen horse on the ground and the figure standing not far away in the darkness, Tata was dumbstruck and felt a bit dry in his throat. If that person wanted to deal with him just now, he would’ve been lying here on the ground like the horse now. He didn’t even have the energy to walk.
Tata looked at the mysterious figure in the corner and couldn’t help but walk towards that place. Of course, several people followed behind him.
When he was only half a foot away from there, that person still didn’t move. Tata was sure that there was definitely not a warrior with such skill at the Xiongnu court. Also, after he approached, he saw that that person’s eyes looked at the people behind him.
Tata thought for a while and let the few people behind him stop. He walked towards that person alone, because if that person wanted to do something bad to him, he (ZZ) could just kill him with skills.
After he approached, Tata found out that the person was wrapped in a black cloak, but the Xiongnu clothes could still be vaguely seen inside. However, this thin figure didn’t look like a Xiongnu.
Tata probed carefully, “Who are you?”
Zhao Zimu laughed once and lifted her head from the dark shadow. Tata saw a very white and handsome face, which was in line with his thin body.
“You are a Han Chinese!” Tata immediately squeezed the machete in his hand and looked menacing at Zhao Zimu as if he would cut off her neck with the machete the moment she moved.
A trace of evil appeared at the corners of Zhao Zimu’s mouth and looked at him faintly.
This Xiongnu third prince was really dishonest. If he wanted to do something to her, he could take her down by just a call to the guards not far away. By then, no matter how great her martial arts were, her hands would be tied and she could only wait to be captured. However, he didn’t do so.
Zhao Zimu took a step towards him. Tata pulled out the machete warily. There were a few drops of sweat on his forehead. Tata wondered if he was too reckless. Maybe, he should really call his subordinates over first?
Unexpectedly, that person seemed to see through his thought. Then, she chuckled and slowly addressed him with an elegant, quiet and nice voice, “Your Highness the prince, don’t be nervous. I’m here to help you.”
