Chapter 84: The Crime of Gender 84
Yan Jie wasn’t afraid of the spies being sent by the barbarians, because the barbarians had high noses and deep-set eyes, which were very different from their Da Ran people’s black hair and black eyes. As long as they were barbarian spies, there was no chance of them not being discovered!
What Yan Jie was worried about was that these barbarians might send their slaves, people from the Zhenling Clan deep in the grasslands, to gather information. Because the Zhenling Clan, like the Da Ran people, had black hair and black eyes, if they spoke the Da Ran language, it would be impossible to tell if they were Da Ran people or not.
When Qin Shuangshuang arrived at Feiying Pass, she wasn’t welcomed with open gates, but by a young general in armor, leading a formation of soldiers, ready and waiting!
Qin Shuangshuang was a little confused. What’s up with this array? She turned to look behind her; there were no barbarians! Could it be these people were actually prepared for her? Qin Shuangshuang felt that this idea was simply absurd.
But it was indeed that absurd, because the young general at the front shouted at her, "Who goes there? A spy from which tribe?"
Qin Shuangshuang twitched her mouth. Really? This stance was indeed aimed at her! And that young general leading was he not thinking straight? What kind of question was that! If she were really a spy, would she admit it just because he asked?
"From the border city, went to the barbarians to make some extra cash, exchanged some silver, and by the way, saved these women and children."
Make extra cash? Yan Jie’s expression clearly showed disbelief. Just a little girl dared to go to the barbarians to grab so many Hu Ma? And saved so many women and children? Even ghosts wouldn’t buy that story!
Looking at the setup, it was just like a little girl went to rob the barbarians. How novel! It had always been the barbarians who came to Da Ran for raids, when had anyone ever heard of Da Ran people going to the barbarians for raids?!!
