Great Zhou Empress

Chapter 23 The Footwashing Slave

The grilled lamb was cut up and delivered on a plate.

Xiao Liege spread his hands towards Xue Zhijing, "Give me my knife~"

Xue Zhijing looked at her, wanting to play dumb, but Xiao Liege said with a heck, "Don't tell me you lost it, I have such a precious dagger, you must have kept it well, take it out, or I will Get it yourself."

Only then did Xue Zhijing take it out from her bosom. She wrapped it with a piece of her clothes. People without weapons finally got a weapon, so they really didn't want to take it out.

Xiao Liege took it over, took it out, cut off a piece of mutton, and handed it to Xue Zhijing with a knife, "If you behave well, I'll reward you with a dagger, but this one won't work."

She waved the oily dagger in her hand, "It was given to me by my father. He passed away, so I keep it as a relic."

It turned out to be a relic, Xue Zhijing's expression changed immediately, and he apologized, "I'm sorry, I don't know."

Xiao Liege didn't respond to her apology, "Eat~" She raised her chin, pointing to the piece of mutton stuck in the blade.

Xue Zhijing reached out to take it off, looked at Xiao Liege, and put it in his mouth.The taste is good, the oil is rich, and the taste enjoyment presented by the Maillard reaction is extremely comfortable.

Xue Zhijing often ate mutton when he was in Bianjing, because pork was not very popular in this era, but people in the Dacheng Dynasty liked to cook mutton, and the taste was different.

Seeing that Xue Zhijing tasted very well, Xiao Liege felt like raising a pet, the kind of spiritual satisfaction after feeding.She went to cut another piece and said, "The sheep in my hand are the fattest on the grassland. Eating roast lamb and drinking kumiss is the enjoyment of nobles."

Xue Zhijing thought to himself, this person's requirements are really low.

The other party said proudly, "Let me tell you, ordinary slaves can't enjoy my roast lamb and kumiss, so you should be grateful to Dade."

Is the slave business not over yet?

Xiao Liege said that the slaves would serve her by her side at all times, arranged for her to sleep in her tent, and asked her two female slaves to take care of Xue Zhijing and change their clothes.

Xiao Liege slept on her knee-high low bed, while Xue Zhijing, as a slave, had to sleep on the felt blanket on the floor beside the low bed.

Before going to bed, two female slaves brought in a foot-washing bucket filled with hot water. When they wanted to squat down, Xiao Liege called them out and waved to Xue Zhijing.

"Come, little slave, wash my feet."

"..."

Xue Zhijing took a deep breath, and said to himself, it's okay, just send someone else under the fence.

She walked over, squatted in front of the foot washing bucket, and smiled at Xiao Liege, "Give me your feet."

Xue Zhijing smiled at this time, his brows were soft, his black pupils were clear and bright, and he looked youthful and brilliant.

Xiao Liege was stunned again, she felt as if she had fallen into the luxuriant flowers growing on the grassland in spring, the gentle sunlight sprinkled on her forehead, and the gust of wind blew across her cheeks, bringing warm breaths one after another.

"Huh? Feet." Xue Zhijing urged the suddenly dazed person.

Xiao Liege subconsciously avoided the other party's gaze, raised his foot, and stretched out his boots in front of Xue Zhijing.

Xue Zhijing gently took off her buckskin boots, untied the belt of her white socks, and took them off.

Xiao Liege's feet were white and tender, and a little small, a bit unworthy compared to her height.When Xue Zhijing put her feet in the basin, she suddenly felt like she was washing a child's feet, even though she had never raised a child in her previous life.

Suddenly he pursed his lips and smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Liege had been observing her, and when he found that she was laughing, he asked strangely.

Xue Zhijing put her hands in the basin, and pressed her fingertips on Xiao Liege's feet, touching the skin, and she was also pressing along the lines of the other's toes.

She looked up at Xiao Liege, but her hands didn't stop, "No, I just think your feet are quite white."

But I dare not say that her feet are small, who knows if this child will feel inferior in this matter, after all, she looks like the kind of young man who is very self-reliant, and she doesn't know what will happen if she gets angry.

Simply let her be old and coax her, isn't it just to wash her feet and take care of the children.

However, while speaking, his hand touched the soles of Xiao Liege's feet.

"Don't~itch~" Xiao Liege quickly avoided Xue Zhijing's hand with his feet.

Her two foot-washing female slaves knew that the soles of her feet were ticklish, and they never dared to touch the soles of her feet every time they washed her feet, but Xue Zhijing didn't know.

Xue Zhijing's expression suddenly became surprised, and he raised his hand, not knowing what to do.

Xiao Liege felt a little weird, suddenly he didn't want the other party to wash his feet, he quickly lifted his feet up, and said to her, "No more washing, no more washing, you ask someone to come in and take the water away."

Xue Zhijing didn't quite understand why Xiao Liege's mood changed suddenly, but it shouldn't be to the point of pissing her off.

"It's okay, I can take it out."

Xue Zhijing could still carry such a basin. After she went out, the two female slaves guarding the door took the basin away.

Xue Zhijing immediately looked around.

It was already night now, and everyone had returned to the camp. It is estimated that Xiao Liege had given special instructions. There were quite a few people around, and they even stared at her sharply when she looked over.

Xiao Liege's voice came from inside the tent, "Little slave, come back~"

After walking in, Xiao Liege was already lying on the bed, "Sleep~"

Xiao Liege sleeps very quietly, and the blanket under Xue Zhijing's body is also very comfortable, but she just can't sleep, feeling a lot of pressure in her heart.

In fact, she didn't understand Xiao Liege, why did she let herself be her slave so forcefully?She couldn't agree with this culture.

Perhaps it was because the economy and culture of the Dacheng Dynasty she traveled through were relatively developed. Although people had different economic and social status, they were equal in terms of household registration. There were no slaves, and those who worked in big families were hired.Therefore, Xue Zhijing agrees with the Dacheng Dynasty culturally, so she also agrees that she belongs to the Dacheng Dynasty.

Naturally, the Liao Kingdom is a foreign country.

And this foreign country is still in a slave society. According to Xue Zhijing's knowledge before departure, the Khitan nobles all have a considerable proportion of slaves, and the status of slaves is no different from that of livestock they own.

Could it be that a person who owns slaves can arbitrarily turn others into his own slaves?

No, you still have to find a way to escape as soon as possible.Although Xiao Liege is a seemingly innocent girl, Xue Zhijing's worries have been alleviated a lot, but rational analysis, the longer he stays here, the more dangerous he is.

I don't know if it was because Xiao Liege was worried that Xue Zhijing would escape, so he took her with him almost everywhere, leaving Xue Zhijing with no chance to escape.

On the second night, Xue Zhijing and Xiao Liege rode to another camp to attend the party together.

There were a lot of people in this gathering, all of them were dressed in Hu clothes, and by their appearance, they should all be Khitan people.

Xiao Liege was dressed in red like fire, he was the center of the audience as soon as he arrived at the scene.

But those people were all men, except for Xiao Liege, almost all the women present were slaves, and they were mainly responsible for pouring wine and serving roast mutton and so on.

When the party was in full swing, everyone competed in archery, horseback riding and wrestling.

Xiao Liege only competed in archery and asked Xue Zhijing to hold the quiver for her.

Her archery skills are very good, her arms are steady, her eyes are sharp, and her arrows hit the bull's-eye. It can be seen that she has many years of skill.Naturally, she won the applause of the audience, and a man took advantage of the situation to grab her shoulders and praise her, but she frowned and raised his shoulders to push her away.

The low-alcohol wine in the grassland will get drunk if you drink too much.

Xue Zhijing even saw a man across the bonfire holding a female slave who was pouring wine for him. She was extremely presumptuous, but she could only frown and look away, really annoyed by this place.

"Go, come out with me."

After saying that, Xiao Liege got up, and Xue Zhijing also got up.

After solving the problem behind a bush, Xiao Liege straightened his clothes and came out, only to see a man with his chest open after drinking too much.

Xue Zhijing sized him up, his body was similar to Xiao Liege's attendant, like a 200-jin chef, his hair was messy, he probably thought it was cool, he could see the fat inside with his stomach open.

"Is there something wrong?" Xiao Liege asked him.

The other party took another two steps closer, and said to Xiao Liege with a smile, "Princess Lie Huo, do you like the riding whip I gave you last time?"

Princess?

Xue Zhijing suddenly focused his gaze on Xiao Liege.

Xiao Liege said perfunctorily to the 200-jin cook, "It's okay, but I'm not used to it, so I gave it to my eldest nephew."

The other party seemed unable to hear the perfunctory words in Xiao Liege's mouth, and grabbed Xiao Liege's hand with Jiu Jin, "Princess Liehuo, marry me, I know you want to fight Xiongzhou City, I can help you!" beat."

Xiao Liege's face was full of tangles, it was because she couldn't pull out her hand.

In the end, she pushed her knee against the opponent's cock, and the opponent screamed "Aw".

Furious, Xiao Liege threw a sentence at Xue Zhijing, "Little slave, let's go~"

Xiao Liege took Xue Zhijing along, greeted the attendants to hurry back to his camp, then got off his horse and washed his hands in the river for a long time.

Xue Zhijing looked at her obsessive-compulsive disorder from the side, thought it was funny, and joked, "A suitor?"

Xiao Liege glanced at her bitterly, "It's just a group of hyenas that come here when they see a fishy smell, and they all want to marry me, the most honorable woman on the grassland."

???

"Are you a princess?" Xue Zhijing asked tentatively.

Xiao Liege got up, shook the water from his hand, walked towards Xue Zhijing, raised his chin, and said with some pride, "Little slave, I forgot to introduce you to your master. I, Xiao Liege, the son of the Daliao Dynasty Princess, the sister of the emperor's mother and compatriots."

Looking at Xue Zhijing's slightly surprised face, Xiao Liege suddenly felt that his vanity was greatly satisfied.

"Being able to follow me is the blessing you have cultivated in several lifetimes."
