Chapter 101: I told you to capture Touman, why did you capture more than that? (Revised)
"Your Majesty, when I took action, this woman was talking to Touman. To avoid delaying the operation, I simply captured her as well."
Hei Bai Xuan Jian's answer was simple and blunt.
My subordinates are too capable!
Ying Jing shook his head, showing no sign of blaming her. He simply raised his hand and gently lifted the silk bag covering the woman.
However, Ying Jing was slightly taken aback upon seeing the appearance of this Hu woman.
Even by Ying Jing's standards, he had to admit that this Hu woman was indeed very beautiful.
She looked to be no more than twenty years old, radiating youthful energy.
She has a slender figure with a slim waist, but she is also quite plump and rounded. She is slim where she should be slim and plump where she should be plump, just right.
She has a curvaceous figure with a prominent bust and buttocks, and a perfect physique.
Generally speaking, women of the Hu people, who live on the plains for a long time, tend to their horses and sheep and are exposed to the wind and sun, often have rough skin.
But the woman before him was completely different; her skin was unusually fair, as clear and translucent as a snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains.
With her high, straight nose, full lips, and snow-white skin, she lacked the gentle grace of women from the Central Plains, yet the exotic charm she exuded was quite unique.
Even the section of her calf that was exposed between her skirt and boots was equally fair and smooth, and felt as soft and lustrous as mutton fat jade to the touch.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing!"
Yan Lingji couldn't hold back any longer. As if she had no teacher, she stretched out a fair hand and pinched Ying Jing's waist hard.
"Forehead……"
He didn't feel any pain, but Ying Jing had realized his mistake.
How could he do something like taking advantage of someone in distress!
Even trying to figure out why this woman has such fair skin is impossible.
"Let's wake her up first."
Without Ying Jing making any move, a ray of purple light, invisible to ordinary people, shot out from Ying Jing's eyes.
With her long eyelashes fluttering, the woman slowly opened her eyes. After noticing the situation before her, she sprang to her feet.
Her body was completely taut, her mouth slightly open, her eyes filled with ferocity and vigilance, like a mother wolf in distress.
"Who are you people? Why are you arresting me?"
Ying Jing did not answer immediately, but instead carefully examined the woman in front of him.
At this moment, what is most eye-catching about her is undoubtedly her heterochromatic eyes: the right eye is golden amber and the left eye is ice blue.
The same person has two eyes with different pupil colors, which, combined with his exotic face, makes him look somewhat strange.
However, when combined with her snow-white, lotus-like skin, everything became harmonious.
Indeed, white is the most important.
"Could this be related to the future Hu Hai?"
A thought suddenly arose in Ying Jing's mind, and his expression became somewhat strange.
In this world, heterochromia is not unusual; Yan Lingji's eyes are a deep blue.
However, it is still very rare to find such a unique creature with one gold and one blue eye.
In my memory, only Hu Hai had this unusual eye color throughout the entire Qin Dynasty.
"If that's the case, wouldn't capturing this woman have already saved the Great Qin?"
Ying Jing suddenly felt that his own figure had become magnificent!
As expected of my great benevolent Jing, even when he occasionally does something bad, he manages to get away with it by sheer luck!
"Shouldn't you state your identity before asking others questions?"
Ying Jing was lost in thought, even staring at the woman. Yan Lingji couldn't help but speak up.
However, the Hu woman merely sneered: "You despicable Central Plains people, I won't tell you anything!"
Swish!
A black blade was already held against her neck; Hei Bai Xuan Jian moved swiftly.
Hu Nu's expression changed slightly. She had not launched an attack because she had noticed Hei Bai Xuan Jian, who was following Ying Jing.
This terrifying man knocked Touman, the number one warrior of the grasslands, unconscious in an instant, and then she was defeated in one move.
"Ugh!"
Ying Jing sighed softly and shook his head.
He never expected that he would encounter such a situation one day.
“Even if you don’t tell, Touman will, so why make things difficult for yourself?”
Following Ying Jing's gaze, the woman finally noticed a burly man tightly bound by ropes beside her, with gray-brown hair tied in two small braids.
"Who exactly are you people? Touman is the leader of the largest tribe on our grasslands. Capturing him will trigger a war!"
Ying Jing merely sneered upon hearing this.
"Do the barbarians also care about this? When your leader is gone, shouldn't you fight each other to elect the next leader?"
"Alright, I have no interest in listening to your nonsense anymore. You only have one chance with your identity. If you kill me, the Touman will cooperate."
Hei Bai Xuan Jian understood Ying Jing's meaning. He brought his black blade closer and pressed it against Ying Jing's snow-white neck, where a trace of crimson blood slowly appeared.
"No, I'll tell you!"
When the fear of death descended, or perhaps because she didn't want to let Touman get away with it, the Hu woman finally behaved herself.
“I…I am the princess of the wolf clan. My father is the wolf king of the grasslands, and all tribes must obey the wolf king’s orders.”
Ying Jing frowned.
In this world, the wolf king of the grasslands is somewhat similar to the Zhou emperor.
All tribes were nominally required to obey the wolf king's orders, though some did not.
However, being able to become the wolf king represents strength, and if someone disobeys orders, it will naturally invite attacks.
"As far as I know, the wolf king of the wolf clan is dead, and the grasslands are now in chaos over the position of wolf king, with everyone attacking each other."
"No wonder you, as a wolf princess, would come to this place with Touman."
This woman is not honest at all; she only tells half of what she says. However, Ying Jing is also very clear about the situation on the grassland.
Although the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) doesn't have much influence on the grasslands, this kind of information isn't exactly a secret and is still easy to find out.
Before deciding to go to this borderland to participate in the exchange of treasures by the Hidden Dragon Hall, Ying Jing had already read all the relevant information about the grasslands.
"The former queen of the wolf clan, plus the chieftain of the largest tribe..."
Ying Jing's slightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed.
He has two such people in his hands, and the grasslands are currently in chaos.
This is practically an unbeatable hand!
With a little maneuvering, even if the entire grassland cannot be brought under control, the chaos can at least be sustained.
In this way, when the Qin Dynasty launches a war to unify the seven kingdoms in the future, at least these barbarian tribes will not be allowed to take advantage of the situation and grow powerful.
