Xu You was speechless for a moment!

Lu Shuang has always been a smart person. She has almost no mistakes in her words and actions. She is in a proper manner and never breaks the rules. This time she rashly violates Xu You's order and brings the woman and the child back. In the final analysis, it is not a sudden idea or an ulterior motive, but just because she saw her former self from the little girl.

The cruelty and despair that was drifting and helpless, lonely and supportive, wandering at the critical moment of life and death, she saved not the little girl, but her redemption and rebirth of the miserable past in her memory!

Some people say that there is nothing more to be feared except life and death;

Some people also say that what is really terrifying is the mark and trembling of life and death deep in the soul!

Xu You had no reason to blame her again, and he was silent for a while and said, "Get up!"

Lu Shuang suddenly raised her head, tears were faint, and traces were still there, and unbelievable surprise burst out in her eyes. She knelt down for five steps, grabbed Xu You's robe tightly and said, "Xiao Lang, have you forgiven me?"

"I'm not an unreasonable person..." Xu You felt pity, helped her get up, pointed to the cushion beside him, and said, "Sit down!"

When Lu Shuang took her seat, Xu You poured her a cup of tea, deliberately adjusting the atmosphere between the two, and said with a slight joking: "Is the wound okay? Are you stupid? Just kowtow, kowtow, so why do you work hard?"

Lu Shuang wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. She lowered her head and said, "The Winter Solstice helped me with the medicine for the injury. It will be cured in a few days."

"That's good, don't leave scars, so as not to get married in the future!"

Lu Shuang held the teacup in both hands, and stayed silent for a while, her soft voice was slightly firm, and she said, "Then I won't get married, and I'm willing to accompany Xiaolang for the rest of my life!"

"How did that happen?"

Xu You smiled and said, "Girls always want to get married. Find a good husband. Only when they have a home and have a pair of children can their lives be considered a perfect life and they will not be in vain for a walk in the world!"

Lu Shuang has been through the world for a long time and has long been indifferent to the love affairs of men and women. Although she still had some longing when she returned to her dream at midnight, she did not pursue it. She said: "As long as her heart is calm, where can she not be perfect?"

There is a bit of Zen in these words, but it is not a good thing for a girl to understand Zen. Xu You comforted her: "Time is like water, like jade and Chinese, don't suffer so much. When fate comes, you will naturally find a good husband. Don't worry, when you get married in the future, I will definitely give you a big bride gift, and you won't be wronged at your husband's house!"

Lu Shuang certainly knew Xu You’s intention and wanted to use these relaxed topics to dilute the previous unhappiness. She didn’t dare to have any resentment in her heart. After all, she had made mistakes first. Xu You was already grateful to her for being able to forgive her. Moreover, she was still worried about her face and said with a smile: “Xiao Lang said, don’t be blamed!”

"Not bad! What I say never counts!"

The two looked at each other and smiled. A big and small storm disappeared, but the woman and the child had to be dealt with next. Xu You said distressedly: "The most urgent thing is to find someone who is proficient in Northern Languages. Qiantang merchants should have talents in this area..."

He was not sure that there was no exchange between the north and the south until now, and trade transactions were all through underground channels. It was really hard to say whether there was any translation on the surface.

Northern language is also Xianbei language. Because the Northern Wei Dynasty was established by the Xianbei Tuoba clan, it is referred to in Northern language.

"I can speak Bei, but I can't write, but basic communication is OK."

"Hmm?" Xu You looked at Lu Shuang with admiration. In any era, people who know multiple languages ​​are popular. Unexpectedly, she is proficient in music, familiar with classics, history, and collections, and even knows Northern Chinese. She said strangely: "Where did you learn it?"

"In the past, in Qingle Tower, Wuxian, the merchants who came from the Western Regions, Nanyang and Baekje would stay in the building to rest. I knew a Hu merchant from the Western Regions. They often went to Liang and Wei to do business. They knew seven or eight languages ​​from all over the country. They were curious for a while and learned several of them with him, but they were just having fun..."

Xu You was even more surprised and said, "Ah, how many more do you know?"

"Although Rouran's is close to Beiyu, it combines the syllable tones of the Xianbei and the Xiongnu, which is difficult. You can only listen to a few sentences and can't speak; Baekje's can do two simple greetings; Nanyang's can learn more, and can speak and write; Western Regions are too messy and can't say, and they are ridiculed by the Hu Shang and said that they are too stupid!"

"If you are stupid, how can there be a smart girl in the world?" Xu You laughed and said, "If you don't have any skills, you will always need it. Let's go and meet this Xianbei woman with blue eyes and yellow hair!"

The woman and the girl were placed alone in a side room in Wujin. When they saw Xu You coming in, the woman sat down on the ground without panic. She was just as her eyes were cautious and cautious and had a certain degree of precaution.

This kind of prevention is not resistance or counterattack, but rather examining which type of master in front of you is, it is tyrannical, cold, gentle, or annoying. As for whether it is kind, the woman has long forgotten the word "in the past few years in Chu State.

"What's your name?"

The woman didn't speak.

"You can speak Chinese, right?" Xu You began to deceive her routinely, regardless of whether it is true or false, and said, "You have been in Chu State for three years. Even if you cover your ears, you should understand Chinese. With a simple name and where you come from, how can you not know how to say your age?"

The woman still maintained her appearance just now, without any fluctuations in her expression, and looked straight at Xu You. Xu You smiled. This woman was able to save her life in the military camp, travel thousands of miles, be bought and sold by multiple owners, and protect her daughter from being scattered in two places. It is definitely not a simple luck to explain. So she didn't expect to let her speak so easily, and signaled Lu Shuang to ask again in Xianbei language.

Xu You's study of Xianbei, that is, Bei language, should be similar to Mongolian and Turkic, and they are both branches of the Altaic language family. In his previous life, a friend was a Mongolian. He had heard the other party speak Mongolian, but he only listened to it strangely and did not really understand the meaning. Moreover, Altaic in ancient times must have undergone great changes with modern times and is not referenceable.

Lu Shuang was obviously much more reliable than him, a Xibei product. She squatted down and said softly. She comforted the woman's emotions in Beiyu, so that she would not be afraid. She asked the woman's name. The woman's eyes fluctuated a little. She seemed to have not expected Lu Shuang to speak Beiyu, or she hadn't heard her hometown dialect for too long. She was a little dazed for a while. After a long time, she nodded slightly and answered in Beiyu.

"She said her name is Yu Tu."

"Yu Tu?" Xu You frowned and said, "The Chu people called the tiger Yu Tu. This is an allusion in "Zuo Zhuan"... Am I wrong? She was not a Xianbei person?"

Lu Shuang asked the woman in the north again and said, "She is indeed a Hu person, but not a Xianbei person from the Tuoba family, but a Qiang person from Xiliang..."

"Qiang people? Oh, I forgot that the Qiang people regard the tiger god as their totem. In the past hundred years after the Five Barbarians invaded China, many Qiang people were assimilated by the Han people and named Yu Tu, which is reasonable."

"Xiao Lang is a genius, and even knows the things of the Hu people." Lu Shuang felt sincerely respected. Xu You's talent was like the bright moon in the sky. Every time he climbed higher, he always felt that he was a little closer to the moon, but he climbed higher and higher, but he found that the bright moon was getting farther and farther away and could not touch.

Zuo Qi and the Winter Solstice who were standing behind Xu You also felt incredible. Is there really something in the world that Xu You don’t know?

"Seven of the father and brothers of the King of Xiliang, Yao Yan, died at the hands of the Yuan clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The two countries have an irreconcilable hatred, so they have been in good faith in our Great Chu Quyi over the years. Pingdi Bian City and the lords have frequently exchanged with the envoys of the throne. Someone from the Xu clan once went to Liang to expand their experiences, so I know a little about it."

Xu You explained a few words and said, "Since she is a Qiang native from Xiliang, Chu, and Liang has not fought in wars over the years, how could he become a prisoner?"

Lu Shuang asked Yu Tu in the north that she had trusted Lu Shuang very much and did not hide it. She told her everything. It turned out that Yu Tu was born in an ordinary Qiang family and belonged to the eastern girl of the Qiang tribe in Xiliang. Because of her beauty, she became a maid of the Princess of Xiliang and married to Rouran Khan Court. Later, after the princess was asked to marry, she married a coach of the Rouran Guifang Army. Seven years ago, Rouran and the Northern Wei Dynasty broke out in the famous Yunzhong Battle. After her husband was defeated, she was beaten by the stone head according to military law. She was also captured by the Wei army and was already pregnant at that time. After being pregnant, she was later assigned to a garrison lord in Luozhou as her concubine. Three years ago, a small-scale conflict occurred on the border of Wei. Her garrison lord was unfortunately killed in battle. Her daughter, who had just turned four, became prisoners of the Chu army, and her face was burned down by the fire. It was hideous and terrifying. No general was willing to take it as a slave, so she could only go into the camp and become a toy for the soldiers with the lowest status to vent. Her subsequent experience was similar to what Diao Hei said. From the camp to the merchant, he wandered around and was helpless, and he never settled down.

After listening to Lu Shuang's retelling, Xu You didn't know what to say. This woman named Yu Tu not only had a strong life to defeat her husband, but also had a great life. She was captured twice and fell into the four countries. She did not lack arms or legs, and only ruined her appearance. She was really a legend among legends.

Then Lu Shuang asked about the customs and geographical features of the northern region. Yu Tu answered questions and answered questions. However, when he involved the court and the army, he shook his head and did not speak, and fell into a stubborn silence.

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything afterwards, Xu You turned around and left. Dong Xie closed the door from outside and ordered the two guards to be vigilant. When he returned to the second entry, Xu You smiled and said, "Everyone said, how credible is what Yu Tu said?"

Zuo Qi thought for a while and said, "Most of us are not very clear about the situation in the north. It is hard to assert that what Yu Tu said is true or false. But from my heart, I believe her."

"What's the reason?"

"From ordinary Qiang people to princess maids, to Rouran's wife, to the enemy's border concubines, and then to become camp prostitutes, merchants' goods, and noble slaves in Dachu. Such an incredible and strange thing has never been experienced by anyone. I think she alone can never make it up!"

Xu You nodded and said, "What is the saying is reasonable. Where is the Winter Solstice? You are in charge of the boat pavilion and know the most about everything from the north and the south. Do you think Yu Tu is trustworthy?"

"I don't know whether it is credible or not, But at least a few things she said were true: First, the Eastern Girl Qiang in Xiliang is rich in beautiful girls, and is the tribe that selects concubines and palace maids in Xiliang. Rouran's Guifang Army is the main force of the Khan Court after the Jinyi Army. In the army, the one who leads thousands of people is the generals of the military, and the one who leads a hundred people is the coach. She first serves as the princess and then marrys the coach Zhuang as his wife. Secondly, Princess Lelang in Xiliang married Rouran Khan's younger brother Futu, which was a major event known to everyone in the north and south seven years ago. Futu used three thousand best horses as a betrothal gift, which made the court officials of Chu envious for a while. Finally, and the most important point, Rouran's military law, kills him with huge rocks. There is indeed a garrison leader in the garrison army in Wei, who is the commander of a county. If it weren't for being in both armies of the two countries, as Fenghu Langjun said, a mere woman would never be fabricated!"

This is the talent of the Winter Solstice. I remember that Zhan Wenjun said that the Winter Solstice can accurately filter out the authenticity, the pros and cons, and the urgency from the vast information. Today, it is indeed not a praising!

Details determine success or failure. The Winter Solstice can start from the details, combine known information, and dialectically analyze Yu Tu's credibility, which is better than Zuo Du.

"Well, it's reasonable and well-founded. I've been convinced by you two by 60%. Lu Shuang, where are you?"

"I..." Lu Shuang's beautiful face exuded a bit of undetectable sadness, and she whispered: "I am willing to believe her! Because she neither seemed panicked when she spoke, nor did she feel anxious to get our recognition. She just told her ordinary stories about the hardships she suffered in the past seven years, and the numbness that was engraved in her bones, only those who have truly experienced it know."

Xu You smiled and said, "Wind Tiger is the big thing, the Winter Solstice is the small thing, and you are from the inside and pointing directly to the hearts of the people. After listening to the three of you, I am finally 80% sure."

Zuo Qi asked, "What about 20%?"

"Jingzhe!"

Xu You shouted softly, Shan Zong walked out from behind the screen. He was very good at hiding whereabouts. He always stayed close to Xu You and did not show up easily.

"Go to Sa Jinfang quickly and pick up Qiyi and be careful on the way!"

"promise!"
Chapter completed!
