Happiness Consists in Contentment

Chapter 54 Daughter of a Border General

 

Liu Fang jumped around silently and checked the terrain, as well as the distribution of barbarian cavalry on guard.

 

There was a cave on the mountain, surrounded by trees. The density was not particularly high, but not too far apart either.

 

There were about 500 barbarian cavalry, led by five people. That was to say, there were five commanders.

 

At the same time, they were divided into two groups, one in the light and the other in the dark. On the surface, there were two hundred guards, but in fact, there were five hundred guards.

 

Liu Fang squatted on the top of a tree and pondered for a moment. The distribution of the barbarian cavalry was very comprehensive, but also very scattered. She was alone. No matter how high her force value was, it was impossible for one person to kill all of them in one go

 

Therefore, she had to deal with the patrolling barbarian cavalry first.

 

She can’t let them find out too quickly.

 

As for the five commanders—Liu Fang remembered that Liu Da once said that every commander in the barbarian cavalry would wear a silver armband on their wrist.

 

Well, she can look for it first, and get rid of the patrolling barbarian cavalry along the way.

 

Liu Fang just wanted to act but suddenly stopped. She remembered something. Where are their horses?

 

Liu Fang’s eyes froze!

 

This was not right, there were people in here! It should be said that they were waiting for her or someone else to come and save them!

 

It’s a trap!

 

Liu Fang’s heart sank suddenly: So – were those three people in silver armor really Liu Da and his sons?

 

She closed her eyes, resisting the soreness in her eyes, and suppressing the pain in her heart!

 

Liu Fang knew that those three would definitely not be Liu Da and his sons.

 

Perhaps, they have…

 

There was no time for her to think about it now, Liu Fang raised her head and blinked, suppressing all the emotions in her heart and regaining her composure.

 

Since this was a trap, there must be another group lying in ambush elsewhere.

 

She has to deal with those people first!

 

After thinking about it, Liu Fang got up and searched quietly in the forest, and finally found those horses!

 

Naturally, the barbarian cavalry who were waiting in the ambush were also found. There were more than 600 people!

 

Therefore, the barbarian cavalry was not 3,000, but nearly 4,000. And all of them were masters.

 

However, most of them should be here. It was completely different from those who attacked the city gate earlier.

 

Liu Fang carefully observed the pace and breathing rate of these barbarian cavalry and knew that their force values ​​were not low.

 

This time it’s a tough battle!

 

She was not impulsive. She went back to the forest to search for some herbal medicines and crushed them into powder with her inner strength and then packed them into a bamboo tube she specially made.

 

She went back, squatted on the top of a tree, carefully rubbed her fingers with her inner strength to heat up, then lit the bamboo tube, and a thick smoke came out. She threw the bamboo tube into the barbarian cavalry.

 

In an instant, the forest was filled with smoke!

 

Those barbarian cavalry who were waiting in the ambush were suddenly shocked!

 

“What happened?”

 

Tuoba Yaoheng, the leader of the team, frowned as he watched the sudden thick fog.

 

The thick smoke made by Liu Fang was colorless and odorless, just like the fog in the mountains and forests, covering everyone’s vision.

 

Of course, this thick fog was a potent Ruanjin powder!

 

It was powder like its name. It makes one’s hands and feet feel weak, and their force degenerates into ordinary people.

[软(ruan) mean soft. 筋 (jin) mean muscle / tendon / veins visible under the skin. It means once the drug takes effect, the muscle and bone all over the body will become weak] 

 

Liu Fang pulled up her collar. This was a high collar mask specially made by her to cover her face, mouth, and nose.

 

Although she had already taken the antidote, it was better not to be careless, it was best to be cautious.

 

She quietly floated down from the tree, then took out the dagger at her waist, quietly approached a barbarian cavalryman, covered his mouth with one hand, and slashed his neck with the other, blood slowly flowed from the thin wound.

 

Liu Fang gently lifted his body, put it behind the bushes, and covered it up.

 

Liu Fang slowly reaped the lives of those barbarian cavalry in the dense fog.

 

On the other side, Tuoba Yaoheng asked the guards around him, but they didn’t know why it was foggy. His heart suddenly sank: Not good!

 

“Quick, blow the whistle!”

 

This was their unique contact code.

 

It’s a pity that Liu Fang has knowledge about the whistle code used in an army. In the first mission, her elder sisters joined the emperor’s female army. Therefore, she knew the signal whistle used in the army.

 

As a result, Tuoba Yaoheng had someone send out a whistle to make contact, but it was intercepted by Liu Fang. She listened to the other party’s whistle, and after guessing the meaning, she began to imitate the responses.

 

In this way, Tuoba Yaoheng didn’t realize Liu Fang was among them.

 

However, there was a limit to the amount of smoke that could be produced. No matter how fast Liu Fang was, it was impossible to kill all the barbarian cavalry in a short time.

 

Therefore, she changed her clothes halfway, put on the uniform of a barbarian cavalry, wrapped her hair all up, and put on a helmet.

 

Well, this was the attire of the lowest-ranking soldier among the barbarian cavalry, which was just right for a girl like Liu Fang.

 

Although she was thirteen years old, her height was 1.7 meters tall and was well-proportioned. Wearing an unfit military uniform would only make others feel that she was a bit thin, and it would not reveal her feminine figure.

 

Not all the barbarian cavalry had a height of 1.9 meters, there were still some barbarians who were only 1.7 meters tall.

 

So, when the thick fog gradually cleared, Tuoba Yaoheng found a thin guard standing beside him.

 

He frowned and asked, “Why haven’t I seen you? Who are you? How did you get here?”

 

Liu Fang couldn’t understand what he was talking about, but she could understand his expression.

 

So without saying a word, she shot quickly like lightning, and before the other party could react, she reached out and grabbed Tuoba Yaoheng, pinched his neck with one hand, and said to him coldly: “Don’t move!”

 

The surrounding barbarian guards were shocked: “Your Highness!”

 

Tuoba Yaoheng was also surprised: “Who are you?”

 

This time, he spoke the words of the Dayan Kingdom.

 

Liu Fang raised her eyebrows: This person speaks the Dayan Kingdom language very fluently and authentically. It’s like a native of Dayan, with an accent from the frontier.

 

So, was this man a spy?

 

Among the barbarians, those who could speak the language of the Dayan Kingdom so fluently were either the people of the Dayan Kingdom who they kidnapped⎯⎯the slaves, or they were special spies.

 

Of course, there was another, The top aristocrat.

 

Liu Da once said that the nobles in the barbarian tribe were very keen to learn the culture of the Dayan Kingdom.

 

The barbarian cavalry and ordinary people below definitely don’t have the leisure to learn.

 

The former looked down on the people of Dayan, so they naturally didn’t bother to learn it. As for the latter, they were so busy with how to survive that they didn’t have time.

 

And for this one in front of her?

 

Liu Fang looked at the barbarian cavalry around and saw that they looked very nervous. Although they were ready to move, they seemed to be worried about something and did not dare to do anything to Liu Fang.

 

Liu Fang raised her brows slightly again. It seems that this hostage who was caught unintentionally was a big fish!

 

If it were ordinary spies, she was afraid that these people would swarm up immediately. They didn’t care about their own people!

 

The barbarians were a group of lunatics. They advocated the strongest martial arts, and “the law of the jungle” was not too strong.

 

In their hearts, apart from those nobles, for those with equal status, it was all about who had the biggest fist!

 

The weak deserved to be beaten to death by the strong in the street, let alone being killed by their people because they were captured by the enemy during the war. That was their glory.

 

At least dying on the battlefield was a sacrifice for their country!

 

So, Liu Fang didn’t intend to take hostages in the beginning. Who knows whether they were ordinary soldiers or high-ranking leaders?

 

She just wanted to grab a human shield.

 

Unexpectedly, with a random grab, a very good hostage was captured. This was really a surprise!

 

That being the case, Liu Fang was not in a hurry.

 

She thought about it silently in her heart, and then slowly said to the hostage in her hand: “You, a barbarian, ran into my country, you don’t need to ask me who I am. You just need to tell me, General Liu and his sons were they alive or dead.”

 

After that she clutched Tuoba Yaoheng’s neck with a little force, making it hard for him to breathe, and his face flushed red.

 

Liu Fang said softly, “If you dare to lie to me, I will not be polite.”

 

Tuoba Yaoheng nodded knowingly, Liu Fang loosened her hand, allowing him to breathe normally.

 

Tuoba Yaoheng coughed and panted heavily, and after a while, he said, “You are asking about Liu Da and his son, right?”

 

Liu Fang nodded and looked into his eyes. His eyes were calm, and the pupils were as dark as the abyss.

 

Tuoba Yaoheng looked into her eyes, paused, and replied calmly: “They are already dead. The corpses are temporarily hidden by my people.”

 

There was no need to say anything else, they clearly understood this.

 

Liu Fang’s heart ached, her hands trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyelids, silently digesting the emotions in her heart.

 

Tuoba Yaoheng felt the hand around his neck tremble slightly, although it was only for a moment.

 

He raised his eyebrows and looked at the person beside him, his face was covered by a gray high collar, only revealing a pair of breathtaking phoenix eyes.

 

This is a woman! And she’s a beauty!

 

Tuoba Yaoheng affirmed in his heart.

 

It’s just that he was also a little surprised. He had never heard of such a powerful person in the Dayan Kingdom!

 

Dayan Kingdom is very strong! Tuoba Yaoheng admitted.

 

Not only was the country vast, but the population was also large, and the army was strong. The most important thing was that the people of the Dayan Kingdom were really smart and scary.

 

Although they didn’t have the natural strength of the barbarians, nor did they have the extraordinary martial arts muscles and bones of the barbarians, their brains were really much stronger than the barbarians.

 

Obviously, the gap between them and the barbarians was so great, but they could still use some powerful weapons to resist the barbarians’ powerful force.

 

Or simply use people to forcibly resist their attacks, or even defeat them at all costs!

 

This reckless sacrifice, just to defend the country, their fearless spirit really makes the barbarian tribe feel terrible!

 

But there has never been such a woman in Dayan Kingdom who came face to face with hundreds of them alone, and she was still calm and collected even after capturing him.

 

Not to mention women, even men, those generals in the frontiers dare not, nor have the ability.

 

Tuoba Yaoheng really never thought about it.

 

When did she get here? What the hell did she do?

 

Until now, he couldn’t figure it and he was captured. Now he was a hostage in the hands of others, his life and death was not in his hand anymore.

 

Was he afraid?

 

Tuoba Yaoheng was not afraid. The nature of the barbarians was like this, if you die, you will die, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

 

It’s just that he was curious about the woman in front of him.

 

If possible, he would like to know what she looks like, how she could be so powerful, or rather how powerful she was.
