Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 70: Women with scars are not to be trifled with
The desert is full of flying sand. The weather is always like this at the border between the Tang and Jin dynasties.
In a small border town.
A team was slowly approaching, blown by the wind and sand.
It should be a caravan of merchants, because everyone in the team was dressed like merchants, with gray clothes wrapped in cloth, long scarves covering their faces, and they were covered in dust.
They were leading camels, which were carrying goods. The camel bells on the road rang far away, echoing in the wind, as the team moved slowly forward.
But in such a team, there was a person who didn't look like a traveling merchant.
It was a woman, and one could tell at a glance because she didn't try to cover it up .
Moreover, she should be a very beautiful woman, with eyebrows and eyes slightly different from those of the Tang people, and with a unique exotic style.
Her eyebrows are charming, her eyelashes are long, and her eyes are so charming that people can't help but pay attention to her.
But the look in her eyes was very calm, which made the woman's face look more silent in addition to charm.
She is very special and can be spotted at a glance in a crowd.
Perhaps it was because her expression lacked the gentleness that an ordinary woman should have, but instead had an indescribable sharpness.
She was wearing an animal skin dress, which was very common in the desert.
You can take off your coat during the day to breathe, and put it on at night to keep warm.
At this moment, she was taking off her coat, and the short shirt underneath could not completely cover her body.
Revealing the wheat-colored skin and well-proportioned and slender figure underneath.
But what is surprising is that she has many scars on her body, and there are several scars of varying depths on the exposed skin alone. It is really shocking to see, and one wonders what she has been through.
What's more, her hair was very short, so short that she couldn't even tie it up, so she could only let it hang loose on the sides of her face.
You know, even outside the Great Wall, this situation is rare.
She holds a sword and sits on the back of a camel.
When the caravan completely walked into the town and stopped, the woman jumped off the camel's back, carrying her bag, and spoke to the old man who was leading the caravan in the language of the Jin Kingdom.
"Thank you for your care along the way. I can walk on my own from now on."
"Oh, it's nothing." The old man smiled kindly and waved his hand.
"We are just passing by, but as a girl, you should be more careful when walking on the road alone in the future. If you meet someone who looks unkind, don't interact with him."
"Yes, I'll make a note of that." The woman replied calmly, "Then I'll take my leave now."
"Well, let's say goodbye then." The old man nodded and didn't try to persuade me to stay.
The woman walked away carrying her sword and bag.
However, she probably couldn't be careful on the road afterwards, because she didn't come here to find any kind people.
…
The girl's name was Shu Hu Nu, Shu Hu was her surname and Nu was her given name.
Some people may say that this doesn't sound like a name at all, but this is indeed not her real name. Shuhu is the surname given by the master, and Nu is just a random character.
As for her real name, she had long forgotten it.
She was sold as a sword slave when she was very young, so from childhood to adulthood, she only knew how to do one thing, which was to make a good sword.
Her master Shu Huheng is a famous swordsman in the Kingdom of Jin, so her existence is to serve as a sword for Shu Huheng to use.
This is what a sword slave is. They are warriors raised by their masters and can die for their masters at any time.
As Shu Huheng's assassin, Shu Hunu was the most useful one, so she was given the surname Shu Hu and did not have to face the fate of being abandoned.
This time, Shu Hunu also followed Shu Huheng's instructions and came to Tang State.
What was she here for? According to Shu Huheng's request, she had to do two things this time.
One thing was to inquire about the news of the Tang Dynasty's underworld. She wanted to have a basic understanding of the underworld. She wanted to know which were the larger forces in the underworld, how many good players there were among them, and who they were.
She would record all of this and bring it back to the Kingdom of Jin.
If possible, it would be best to find out what martial arts those martial arts masters are good at, what their characteristics and weaknesses are, so that it would be convenient for Shu Huheng to use them for research.
The second thing is that she is going to participate in a competition called the World Sword Alliance, and based on the results she can achieve , Shu Huheng will judge the level of martial artists in the entire Tang Dynasty.
In the words of Shu Huheng, although this may be a case of seeing the whole picture through a tube, it is still a basis.
Of course, no matter what Shu Huheng wanted to do, Shu Hu Nu would not ask for the reason, nor would she consider what would happen afterwards.
She would just do it because she was a sword slave, and she would do whatever her master told her to do.
So, the tiger girl walked all the way south, day and night. Including the time she sat down to eat, she only rested for two hours a day. The rest of the time, she was walking on the road.
It should have been in February when she saw the first city of the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Kingdom was very big. This was her first impression of the Tang Kingdom. Both the place where they lived and the things they used were very grand. The houses lined up along the streets were completely different from the tents they usually lived in. They were not exposed to wind, rain, sun or cold.
Then, the Tang Kingdom was very meticulous. This was her second impression of the Tang Kingdom. Under the grandeur, it paid attention to every detail. The food, clothing, housing and transportation were much more particular than those of the Jin Kingdom.
Although she couldn't tell whether these rules were good or bad, she didn't mind adapting to local customs.
Today, when the tiger girl walks on the street, she has changed into coarse cloth clothes. Although her wheat-colored skin and short hair still make people notice her at a glance, it is much better than when she wore animal skins before.
At least the way people looked at her was no longer the way they looked at a savage from the mountains.
The streets were bustling, and the tiger girl was walking on the street with a sword in hand.
Shu Huheng gave her a lot of time to do this matter. No matter what she did during this period, she only needed to return with news at the beginning of next year.
But it was also because she had so much time that the tiger girl seemed a little confused.
Because she had been following orders for so many years, suddenly there was no one to tell her what to do, which made her feel a little overwhelmed.
"Gu..."
On the street, the tiger girl's stomach suddenly growled.
She stopped, lowered her head, put her hand on her stomach and thought for a while.
Why not, go eat something first.
Thinking of this, she walked towards a restaurant.
