Chapter 1569: Chapter 1569: Tragedy
Blood gushed out, staining the ground, but the messenger wolf hadn’t died yet, it was crawling forward.
Liugou got angry, let out a howl, and bit a few more times, directly snapping the messenger wolf’s neck.
Qin San Lang quickly walked over, picked up a piece of parchment tied to the messenger wolf’s belly, opened it and looked, frowning: "Several surrounding villages, including the rich families’ manors, have been occupied by the Rong people. Inform our people to hide first, Tang Family Manor cannot be attacked forcibly, it must be secretly seized to avoid alerting the enemy."
They don’t have many men, it’s impossible to surround several villages and manors at the same time, they must take them one by one slowly, to avoid alerting the Rong people in other villages, those Rong people will send messenger wolves to report.
"Yes." Hong Dao responded, immediately turning his horse around to inform the soldiers, but Yao Wan looked at Qin San Lang, shocked and asked: "You know Rong Language?!"
A soldier from the south actually knows Rong Language, this is too incredible.
Hong Dao said: "What’s so strange about this, all Company Commanders in the He’an Prefecture garrison must know Rong Language, it’s General Guo’s order. General Guo said the Rong people are a major threat to our dynasty, if we don’t want the land our ancestors left to be snatched away by the Rong people, we must learn some of their language, so that in the future, when facing the Rong people, we won’t be blind and can understand some intelligence."
So it was requested by General Guo.
A general in the Prefecture garrison with such insight, and able to find people who know Rong Language to teach his Company Commanders, is not surprising at all.
Yao Wan felt relieved, and went with Hong Dao to inform Zhang Zhong and the others, telling them to hide first and not let the Rong people in the manor find out.
But Yao Wan didn’t know, the matter of Rong Language was intentionally done by Qin San Lang.
Previously, General Guo didn’t teach the Company Commanders Rong Language, but after Qin San Lang got familiar with Guo Qiang, he casually mentioned it in front of Guo Qiang, who thought it made sense and immediately went to tell General Guo.
General Guo also thought learning Rong Language wasn’t a bad thing, he spent some effort to find those surviving veterans, inviting the veterans who knew Rong Language to teach the Company Commanders, and even submitted this suggestion to the officials of the Jianghuai Commandery, asking them to issue an order for soldiers in Jianghuai and Jiangnan to learn Rong Language.
But the officials of the Jianghuai Commandery didn’t take it seriously, saying the Northwest Army already had soldiers who knew Rong Language, soldiers from the south didn’t need to learn this, anyway, they didn’t need southern soldiers to fight the Rong people.
However, in the battle against the Rong, Great Chu was defeated, tens of thousands of soldiers died, the Northwest lacked soldiers and generals, southern soldiers were taken to the Northwest to resist the Rong people.
A moment later, all the messenger wolves were killed, Qin San Lang led the soldiers to advance a few miles, found a decent patch of wild grassland to hide, and surrounded Tang Family Manor.
Inside Tang Family Manor, the waiting Rong people were getting anxious.
"It’s been a whole night, why hasn’t Lord Ah Tuo returned yet? Has Lord Troop Commander sent any news?" Muguer was the Chief Commander under Ah Tuo, he disagreed with Lord Ah Tuo personally chasing after the Great Chu soldiers yesterday, but Lord Ah Tuo got bored staying in the manor, wanted to stretch his body, didn’t listen to him, and led people to personally chase them.
He went and hasn’t returned for a whole night.
Lord Ah Tuo is the Company Commander of the Silver Tent, they came to Great Chu with a mission, Muguer was afraid Ah Tuo would be captured by Great Chu people, their plan would be exposed, after waiting till morning and still not seeing him return, he immediately sent a message to Lord Troop Commander at Shi Family Manor.
Lord Troop Commander has more soldiers, is more familiar with Great Chu, and can directly send news to the Great General, inform Lord Troop Commander of Ah Tuo’s absence, let Lord Troop Commander find ways to locate Lord Ah Tuo, which is better than them waiting anxiously here.
One of the soldiers said: "Lord Ah Tuo hasn’t returned yet, the messenger wolves have already gone to send messages, five messenger wolves have been released, even if there is an accident on the way, losing one or two, there are still messenger wolves to deliver the message to Lord Troop Commander, you don’t need to worry."
How could Muguer not be worried?
If something happens to the Silver Tent Company Commander, all his subordinates will be implicated!
The soldiers saw Muguer still had a solemn face, thought for a moment, smiled and said: "Chief Commander, the village chief Tang’s daughter is idle, Lord Ah Tuo also said, you can try her out, shall I bring the little beauty for you?"
The village chief Tang’s youngest daughter hasn’t married yet, after Ah Tuo and the others entered the village, she suffered a lot, and her purity was destroyed.
But because she was pretty, only Ah Tuo slept with her, after sleeping for a few months, he got tired, Ah Tuo let it be known, said Chief Commander and Section Leaders could also sleep with her.
Muguer had been itching for the village chief Tang’s daughter for a long time, said: "Alright then, bring that young girl here, let me relieve some boredom."
Always sleeping with the village chief’s daughter-in-law, he was tired of it.
During this time, Tang Ling had been scared out of her wits, hiding with her mother in her room all day, afraid to come out, but the Rong people are powerful, she can’t hide anywhere.
With a bang, the room door was kicked open by the Rong soldiers, they walked over with a cold smile and grabbed Tang Ling.
"Ahh ahh ahh!" Tang Ling was terrified, constantly struggling, gripping her mother, crying out: "Save me, mom save me!"
However, the Rong soldier drew his knife, pointed at the village chief’s wife Mrs. Lao Fang, said to Tang Ling: "What are you yelling about? It’s an honor for you to serve Chief Commander Muguer, if you dare to scream again, I’ll stew your mother!"
Tang Ling heard this, remembered something extremely terrifying... her elder brother’s daughter who was just born a few months ago, her poor little niece.
"Don’t kill my mom, I’ll go, I’ll go!" Tang Ling trembled all over, could only get up and leave the room with the Rong soldiers.
"Sister Ling, you can’t go!" Mrs. Lao Fang knew very well what would happen to Tang Ling if she went, she was desperate, shouted outside: "Old man, hurry up and save Sister Ling!"
But the village chief Tang was a coward, he didn’t dare come over, hiding with the Tang family’s children and grandchildren in the room, blocking their ears, afraid to hear the noise.
The Rong people are savage, they dare to eat people, the Rong people warned him, if he doesn’t obey, they’ll kill all his children and grandchildren, make the Old Tang family extinct!
He can’t let all his children and grandchildren die, he can only sacrifice his daughter-in-law and daughter, let them serve those Rong people.
"Old man, old man did you hear me? Hurry up and save Sister Ling!" Mrs. Lao Fang cried and shouted, but after not seeing village chief Tang come over for a long time, she was completely desperate, and started cursing village chief Tang.
Muguer was a scoundrel, listened to Mrs. Lao Fang shouting while insulting Tang Ling, after he was done, he called over the small Section Leaders, said: "Lord Ah Tuo has already sent word, you can try her today too."
These small Section Leaders were very excited, one by one, started unbuckling their belts, and rushed at Tang Ling.
Tang Ling was already like a corpse, allowing herself to be violated by these Rong people.
However, just when these Rong small Section Leaders were at the height of excitement, a group of people quietly slaughtered their way in, bringing down blades directly, several sharp noises, cutting them all down.
Hong Dao turned to Mrs. Lao Fang and said: "Quickly put down the torches, don’t set fire, we will kill these Rong people to get revenge for you."
