Chapter 203 Baling County
It would be different if we brought all of them back. Besides, there are a few pretty good ones among them, but unfortunately none of them are as beautiful as Zhao Qiaoniang.
A group of people gathered around. Fu Han's men swallowed their saliva and said, "Our young master is really good. He even gave us women."
"These women are pretty good looking, beauties, just follow us!"
"Hahahaha... our wedding night will be tonight..."
The men walked towards the group of women, but suddenly Zhao Qiaoniang shouted, "Get started..."
Following a command, they all drew out their weapons, flashing a cold light.
The men who were closer to them didn't even have time to scream before their necks were ruthlessly cut, and blood gushed out like a fountain, flowing on the ground.
Zhao Qiaoniang stood on a huge rock. The crossbow in her hand glowed coldly in the moonlight. She slowly pulled the bowstring and aimed at the guards around Fu Han.
With a "whoosh", the arrowhead broke through the wind and shot straight towards the target like a flash of lightning, accurately piercing the guard's chest.
The guard's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. After shaking a few times, he fell to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust.
Mulan leaped towards the other guard and the two of them instantly wrestled with each other.
She used both fists and feet with fierce moves. The guards were not to be outdone and displayed their superb close combat skills. As they fought back and forth, their fists and feet made gusts of wind.
She seized the opportunity, rolled over and jumped several feet away, quickly drawing a crossbow from her waist. The guard widened his eyes in fear and wanted to dodge but it was too late. He only felt a chill on his neck.
A gurgling sound came from his throat, and blood spurted out like a fountain, splashing on the surrounding grass, forming a glaring crimson.
Fu Han was really panicked and fell to his knees. "I was wrong. Please let me go! I am the only son in my family. I can give you whatever you want."
Zhao Qiaoniang looked at him and said, "It's too late to say anything now. We all know in our hearts that it's impossible."
It is impossible to let Fu Han go, because once Fu Han goes back alive, it will be the end of them, and Zhao Qiaoniang cannot afford to take the risk.
Fu Han's eyes were full of resentment:
"You have to think carefully, the Fu family will definitely not let you go easily.
Even if I don't know now, I will try my best to find clues in the future.
And I have a mark on my body. Once I die, you won't be able to escape."
Zhao Qiaoniang looked at him and said, "This is not something you should worry about."
Soon everyone fell silent, leaving only the sound of the wind in the woods. Zhao Qiaoniang sighed and said, "Let's clean up this place quickly."
At Zhao Qiaoniang's command, everyone took quick action. She led a group of women to clean up the scene, their movements quick and orderly.
Fu Han wore a jade pendant around his waist. The jade pendant was made of fine texture and was carved with exquisite auspicious patterns.
It still emits a soft luster in the dim light and feels cool to the touch. It is obviously a rare and high-quality jade, priceless.
Of course, such things cannot be taken. Zhao Qiaoniang also knows what can be taken and what cannot be taken.
The clothes are made of expensive silk, and the collar and cuffs are embroidered with exquisite gold patterns. Every stitch and thread shows luxury.
There are also precious spices hidden in the sachet. When you sniff it, you can smell the distant fragrance. Those are spices shipped from distant foreign countries and are very valuable.
Hanging on his belt was an exquisite brocade bag containing several gold bars and some silver bills.
When Zhao Qiaoniang opened them, she saw that each of these banknotes was worth one hundred taels, five in total, totaling five hundred taels.
She put the banknotes away tremblingly. She didn't know if they could be used, so she could only take them back and ask Master Bai.
The place was quickly cleaned up, and they dug a hole and buried all these people.
The group quickly descended the mountain. Master Bai saw them returning with some clothes in their backpacks, and naturally understood everything: "What's going on?"
Zhao Qiaoniang recounted the entire situation. Master Bai stroked his beard and said, "The prefect surnamed Fu, hiss... Fu Guangquan..."
Zhao Qiaoniang looked at Master Bai and asked, "Is this Fu Guangquan any good?"
“Of course he is powerful, but the most eye-catching thing is his dozens of beautiful concubines.
These dozens of women were carefully selected and are extremely beautiful.
She gave birth to eighteen daughters for him. It is said that each of them had skin as white as cream, eyebrows as dark as distant black, and smiles as if spring flowers were blooming. They were truly as beautiful as fairies.
Governor Fu cultivated his daughters with great care. He not only invited famous teachers to teach them music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, but also paid more attention to the cultivation of their manners.
Now the eldest daughter has been sent to the palace and is the current Concubine Duan.
Fu Guangquan only had this one son, and now that you've killed him, I'm afraid this place will be in chaos soon." Master Bai stood up and said, "We must hurry and get on our way now. This place belongs to Baling County."
When Lin Wanwan heard the word Baling County, she blinked. Could this be related to the Baling County in her previous life?
The most famous Yueyang Tower Inscription wrote that in the spring of the fourth year of the Qingli period, Teng Zijing was exiled to Baling County.
Master Bai said:
"Our area does not belong to Baling County yet. Going further ahead is Baling County. Baling County is vast and has many tribes.
There are hundreds of tribes scattered across this land.
There is the Sand Shadow Tribe who are good at tracking prey in the sand. They are light-footed and can judge the whereabouts of prey based on subtle traces on the sand.
There is also the Frost Wolf Tribe, who are proficient in the ways of survival on the ice. They live with wolves and use the wolves' keenness to hunt in the ice and snow.
The cultures, customs and beliefs of each tribe vary greatly. Some tribes worship fire, believing that fire gives them hope of survival in the desert.
Some tribes revere the gods of ice and snow, praying for protection from the severe cold."
Zhao Qiaoniang looked at him and said, "Hundreds of tribes?"
Master Bai nodded and said:
“Yes, there are hundreds of tribes. Some are very kind to people, but some have to be extremely cautious.
Some tribes even worship poisonous insects, which are very scary."
Lin Wanwan shuddered when she heard the word "insect".
Others may not know how scary the poisonous insects are, but she knows!
Maybe the poisonous insects here are even more terrifying than what she had heard in her previous life.
Master Bai looked at Madam Bai and said, "Madam, you know more about Gu worms. Why don't you tell us about it?"
Mrs. Bai said slowly:
"Deep within Baling County, there are two hidden tribes: the Shadow Tribe and the Spirit Snake Tribe. Both are renowned for their exquisite insect-control techniques.
However, these two tribes generally do not take the initiative to attack. The Shadow Tribe uses insects as poison.
The Spirit Snake Tribe uses snakes as poison, so we must be very careful when entering Baling County.
And I heard that Governor Fu’s wife is a witch.”
