"Your Majesty, the nobles of the six states, including the royal family of Xuanyong, all have the custom of keeping slaves. Not only these nobles, but the wealthy merchants and wealthy families also have the custom of keeping slaves.”
As for the things that Ying Zheng had ordered to be thoroughly investigated, Jing had always done them well.
Among all the heroes, Baiqi and Jing were Ying Zheng's trusted aides, and his right-hand men.
"Strictly investigate!"
"Summon Ming Shiyin, Yang Yuhuan, and Gongsun Li into the palace.”
Ying Zheng ordered again.
"Yes, sir!"
………………….
At the same time, Xuan Yong and the Great Tang's joint forces had reached the Cold Winter Sea.
As far as the eye could see, it was a world of ice and snow. The cold wind was bone-piercing, and everything in sight was ice, snow, and frost.
"It's already late. Let's find a leeward place to rest.”
General Su Lie of the Tang Empire said. His entire body was facing the wind, and the sound of the wind almost drowned out Su Lie's words.
Everyone nodded and found a leeward place to set up camp.
The snow and ice in the Cold Winter Sea were even colder than in other places. The ice and snow had not melted for many years.
"Commander Hua, I'll lead thirty Vermillion Bird soldiers to patrol the surroundings.”
"Alright, be careful on the way. Report immediately if there's anything.”
Everyone was setting up camp while Baili Shouyue and his soldiers patrolled the surroundings.
A few dozen people appeared extremely small in this world of ice and snow. Furthermore, Baili Shouyue and the others were not moving very fast and were on high alert.
The surroundings were filled with snowstorms and broken ice. There was even a bottomless, bone-chilling seawater between the ice.
Not only did he have to face the Hu that could appear at any moment, but he also had to be careful of the glaciers and the deep sea. Danger was everywhere.
"Everyone, be careful!"
Suddenly, after climbing up an iceberg cliff, Baili Shouyue saw a simple camp from afar through his sniper scope.
The weather was freezing and danger lurked everywhere. Aside from the joint forces of the Great Tang and Xuan Yong, only the Hu would come here!
Thinking of this, Baili Shouyue, who remained vigilant, carefully observed all the information about the camp in front of him through his sniper scope.
After confirming it again and again, the Hu people were indeed in front of them. They recognized that they were from the Jie tribe of the Four Tribes Country.
The four tribes were notorious, and the Jie tribe was especially notorious. They called the people of the Central Plains two-legged sheep. Those unfortunate Central Plains people who fell into their hands often became food in their mouths. The entire Jie tribe was cruel and bloodthirsty.
Through Baili Shouyue's sniper scope, there were about 300 people in this Jie tribe camp. All of them were wearing furry animal skins. They were fierce, brutal, rough, and unrestrained. In this cold winter sea, they could withstand the cold.
Moreover, these people all looked extraordinary. They were definitely the elites of the Jie tribe.
……………..
"Commander Hua, this is the situation. We have discovered the Jie tribe.”
Baili Shouyue brought the Vermillion Bird Army back to the camp quietly. He did not alert the enemy and gave a rough estimate of the number of Jie tribe members.
"Humph! Jie Clan!"
Cheng Yaojin snorted coldly at the mention of Jie tribe.
"The Jie tribe is extremely bloody and brutal. They are real cannibals. They call us Central Plainsmen two-legged sheep. Those innocent people who fall into their hands are brutally murdered!”
"Fifty years ago, the Jie tribe invaded the Central Plains. The people were tortured and hundreds of thousands of young girls were kidnapped to be used as military rations. The corpses of the women of the Central Plains piled up like a mountain by the bank of the Yi River, and they blocked the flow of the Yi River for more than a month! These bastards have always wanted to destroy the Central Plains. There's nothing to discuss. I suggest we kill them immediately!”
Cheng Yaojin had a bad temper. Although the country was strong, the border was extremely wide. There were many loopholes in defense.
And the Jie tribe was the most active and brutal tribe, and many innocent people of the Great Tang had become their food.
Moreover, in order to retreat quickly and safely, the Jie tribe usually targeted the elderly and children on the border between the Great Tang and Xuanyong.
Although the country was not as powerful as the Great Tang and Xuan Yong, in the eyes of the Jie tribe, all the people of the Central Plains were their food.
"This time, we must get rid of the Jie tribe. We can't let them obtain a miracle!”
Su Lie, who was at the side, also hated the Jie clan.
"Alright, then we'll take action immediately and get rid of the Jie clan!”
……………….
"General Su, you will lead a hundred Tang elites and guard the camp. The others and I will eliminate this Jie tribe!”
Su Lie nodded and agreed with Hua Mulan's suggestion.
Immediately, Hua Mulan led Baili Shouyue, Kai, Baiqi, Cheng Yaojin, Li Yuanfang, and Li Xin.
In addition, there were a total of 120 Xuan Yong Guards, 200 elites of the Tang Empire, and only 300 Jie people in the Cold Winter Sea. Hua Mulan was confident that she could take them down.
Li Yuan Fang led a small group of troops to scout ahead, while Baili Shou Yue followed behind, closely monitoring the surroundings.
As the saying goes, speed is the most important thing in war. In less than an hour, Hua Mulan and the others approached the Jie tribe camp.
"General Cheng, General Li, the two of you surround from the back. I will lead the Xuan Yong Army to meet them head-on.”
A unified operation on the battlefield required a leader, and Hua Mulan deserved it.
