Chapter 137 The Woman in the Cage
Bond and his group of Turks were stunned.
"A new home?"
Xiao Ce said calmly, "Your Turkic Kingdom has a newly established Urgen tribe, which has now unified the Turkic Kingdom. They now want to build a new country on the Turkic steppe, and they need manpower and resources to construct it."
Urgen was the grim reaper of their Turkic people, and these people naturally knew that.
However, they weren't stupid. Xiao Ce came from the rear, and the mention of the Urgen tribe clearly meant that Xiao Ce had already unified their Turkic rear.
They didn't know how Xiao Ce had done it.
However, they knew very well that the situation had changed.
Without a second thought, Bond replied, "Your Highness, we are willing to fight for you! To atone for our past sins."
He thought it was simple: if he went to the rear, those prisoners would have been captured anyway.
Their fate will likely be the same as that of the slaves they were previously enslaved by the Xiao Kingdom.
After Bond spoke, the others made their choices.
Xiao Ce nodded: "Alright! I don't care who you were in the past, as long as you follow me from now on. If you sincerely work for me, your good days are just beginning. Of course, if you dare to betray me in the slightest, I will make you wish you were dead!"
Everyone nodded emphatically.
Without wasting words, Xiao Ce asked Bond, "Bond Ashina, what position did you hold before?"
Bond: "Reporting to the King of the Northern Desert, I was previously a centurion!"
Xiao Ce said, "Alright, I hereby appoint you as the Turkic General, in charge of all Turkic soldiers. In future battles, however many people you can turn to the enemy, that will determine your rank. You will be the same as everyone else."
Bond's eyes gleamed with excitement as he knelt down, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Xiao Ce waved his hand and said, "Alright, you will now follow General Yan Jia's orders."
The group of Turks bowed and agreed.
Xiao Ce instructed Yan Jia to settle them in, and then built defenses here.
Then he said to Xiao Jiu, "Alright, take me back to rest."
Xiao Jiu asked Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, is that the city lord's mansion where Wanyan Tiesa lives?"
Xiao Ce nodded: "Okay."
Xiao Jiu still had a meaningful smile on her face.
Xiao Ce asked, "What mischief are you up to, kid?"
Xiao Jiu leaned close to Xiao Ce's ear and whispered something.
Xiao Ce's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Oh? Really?"
Xiao Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, really, I have never seen such a beauty."
Xiao Ce flicked his sleeve, his whole being becoming somewhat excited.
"Come on! Take me to see this!"
As he spoke, Xiao Ce turned and mounted his horse, heading towards the Yanbei City Lord's Mansion.
There are already troops stationed here.
Upon seeing Xiao Ce, these people all bowed in respect.
Xiao Jiu then led the way, directly to a room on one side of the City Lord's Mansion.
Once opened, several cages were found inside the room.
Several girls dressed in exotic styles were locked in a cage.
Looking at the girls' faces, Xiao Ce's eyes sharpened, a hint of excitement in them.
Because these women's faces somewhat resembled those of later Europeans.
The girls huddled in the cage, their faces wary as they watched outsiders enter, like frightened kittens.
Seeing Xiao Ce staring at them, Xiao Jiu said from the side, "Your Highness, these are beauties brought by Wanyan Tiesa. I just don't know where they came from, and we can't understand a word they're saying! If you want them to serve you, I can find some guards!"
Xiao Ce said to Xiao Jiu, "What are you thinking? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
When Xiao Ce said this, Xiao Jiu smiled and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me!"
Thinking to myself, isn't that right?
Xiao Ce didn't say anything to Xiao Jiu, and went straight to a cage.
He then spoke directly in English beside the cage: "Can you understand me?"
The blonde, blue-eyed woman in the cage stared wide-eyed at Xiao Ce after hearing his words, then replied, "You can speak our language?"
Upon hearing the blonde, blue-eyed woman in the cage answer, Xiao Ce was certain of where she had come from.
Xiao Ce was quite surprised, after all, this time and space was different from the culture and history of later generations.
However, the geography section is the same here.
This place is tens of thousands of kilometers away from Britain. With current navigation technology, how could they possibly have gotten here?
Although I was puzzled, I wasn't in a hurry to ask.
Xiao Ce knew that the Tiesa tribe was the largest merchant among the Turkic tribes, and they might not only do business with the Xiao Kingdom.
If the geography were the same, there should be many small countries outside the other mountain range of the Turks.
They probably came from those countries!
Xiao Ce smiled faintly: "That's right. I've been to your country!"
The blonde, blue-eyed woman listened to Xiao Ce's words with a look of surprise and hope in her eyes: "Then can you save me?"
Xiao Ce said to the blonde, blue-eyed woman, "Of course. What's your name?"
The blonde, blue-eyed woman addressed Xiao Ce: "Sir, my name is Boudica!"
Xiao Ce nodded: "I will help you, madam."
As he spoke, Xiao Ce looked at Xiao Jiu, who was standing to the side, speechless.
"What are you standing there for? Let them out!"
Xiao Jiu nodded, somewhat hesitantly asking, "Your Highness, are you speaking to her? Do you speak the language of these foreign people?"
Xiao Ce laughed and said, "This is nothing. I am fluent in ten languages."
This isn't just him bragging; he's not exactly an expert, but he has indeed studied everyday conversation.
Xiao Jiu's admiration for Xiao Ce grew even stronger: "I've heard these women are very fierce, should we add more guards?"
Xiao Ce waved his hand.
Seeing this, Xiao Jiu had the cage opened. Boudica looked around warily, timid and seemingly incredulous.
Xiao Ce said to Boudica, "Boudica, you're safe. I've caught the person who captured you."
Boudica only dared to come out after being comforted by Xiao Ce.
Although Boudica was kept in a cage, her body was clearly being washed frequently.
So there is no unpleasant odor; on the contrary, it has a pleasant body fragrance.
Upon closer inspection, these people do indeed have impressive physiques, although once their blooming season is over, they are no longer a sight to behold.
However, it is indeed at its peak when it is in full bloom!
After Boudica came out, she bowed to Xiao Ce and said, "Thank you, sir! Sir, I don't know your name yet."
Xiao Ce smiled slightly: "My name is Xiao Ce!"
Boudica nodded, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Xiao Ce, could I please ask you to release the other girls? They were all sold here, just like us!"
Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Of course."
Then Xiao Ce said to Xiao Jiu, "Xiao Jiu, go and release all these people. Then arrange accommodations for them and prepare some food."
Xiao Jiu nodded: "Your Highness, should we send someone to keep an eye on things?"
Xiao Ce waved his hand and said, "No need. These women only have one option: to rely on me. They wouldn't run away even if I told them to..."
Xiao Jiu nodded and instructed his men to release them.
Xiao Ce said, "Boudica, I will arrange for someone to let you rest."
Boudica bowed slightly in gratitude, her blue eyes filled with thanks.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao Ce."
Xiao Ce asked Boudica, "How did you get here?"
Boudica began to tell Xiao Ce that her father was a navigator, and that they had been separated during a shipwreck.
They drifted until they reached an unfamiliar place, and ended up being sold here after many twists and turns.
So, she didn't know where she was?
Xiao Ce said, "Then you should settle in here first. With me here, you're safe."
Boudica bowed.
With that, Xiao Ce told Xiao Jiu to take them to rest.
Then, someone was sent to bring Wanyan Tiesa over.
He needed to know through which channels these foreign women, Wanyan Tesa, had come.
The presence of these foreign women is enough to demonstrate that Turkic trade was not limited to the Kingdom of Xiao.
...
A short while later, Xiao Jiu arrived.
"Your Highness, those foreign women have all been settled! There are no security personnel monitoring them."
Xiao Ce nodded.
Xiao Jiu asked curiously, "Your Highness, who exactly are those people? I've never seen anyone like them before... They look a bit like people from the Western Regions, but not quite."
“They came from across the ocean! Although they are of similar race, they are still different!” Xiao Ce explained.
Xiao Jiu was completely confused. He could understand each of Xiao Ce's individual words, but when they were put together, he couldn't understand them at all.
"Where lies beyond the ocean? Could it be that besides our Xiao Kingdom and the foreign tribes of the Western Regions beyond Yangguan Pass, there are also the Turks, or perhaps other countries?"
Xiao Ce nodded: "I wasn't sure before, but after seeing Boudica and these foreign girls, I'm sure now! There are always mountains beyond mountains, people beyond people, and countries beyond countries!"
Xiao Jiu looked suspicious. If Xiao Ce hadn't said those words, he would definitely have remained skeptical!
"Then how come I've never seen it before!"
Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Just because you haven't seen them doesn't mean they don't exist! However, these people and countries are very far away from us! For now, they don't have much to do with us. Let's deal with the current Turks first!"
Just then, Yan Jia's voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness, the person you requested has been brought to you!"
Xiao Ce asked, "Is it clean?"
Yan Jia was taken aback: "No."
Xiao Ce said, "Go and wash him clean!"
A short while later, Yan Jia brought over Wanyan Tiesa, who was soaked to the bone.
Wanyan Tiesa looked at Xiao Ce with a resolute expression and said, "Xiao Ce, I will not kneel before you!"
Before Xiao Ce could speak, Yan Jia kicked him in the knee.
He knelt down with a thud.
Wanyan Tiesa looked embarrassed and tried to struggle to get up, but Axe Bull stood beside him and pressed him firmly to the ground.
He looked at Xiao Ce with an embarrassed expression: "Don't try to get anything out of me, I won't say anything!"
Xiao Ce listened to his words and looked at him with a smile: "You will talk!"
