Xin Yi glanced at Green Butterfly with disgust: "Escaping from war is human nature." www.biquge.info It's not them who are wrong. Besides, the eldest grandson has been destroyed, the Xin Mansion has not been convicted, and my marriage contract is still valid. It's really scary, and it holds my heart every day. It's hard to say how many of those minions will come back, but you have set the rules in advance...... Okay, okay, hurry up and buy the last mugwort leaves, and go back to the house early, so as to save the sun from being poisonous. ”

The green butterfly pouted, and her heart was very aggrieved. But seeing that her girl didn't care, she had to turn her head over: "Before leaving the house, the eldest lady instructed three things: sewing sachets, wrapping zongzi, and hanging mugwort leaves. Now there is one last thing left. It is good for the slave to go by herself. The girl sat in the teahouse over there and rested her feet. ”

Xin Yi took a breath, looked at the increasingly bright sunlight in early summer, and couldn't help nodding: "It's okay." You go and come back quickly. I'll be waiting for you in that teahouse. ”

The green butterfly responded, and Xin Yi just turned around to go to the teahouse, when he suddenly saw a shadow cast by the sunlight of the floor tiles.

"Who-"

Xin Yi's heart pounded. However, the words were then strangled in his throat.

Shorter than an instant. She felt a dull pain in the back of her head, and in an instant it turned pitch black in front of her.

……

When Xin Yi opened his eyes again, he was shocked by rough wooden planks and a ventilation hole at the top. She was bound by ropes, and her body was bouncing up and down with the plank.

The neighing of horses, the grunting of ruts, and the sound of young men shouting and driving horses could be heard. The catkins that floated in from the vents were scattered and mixed with yellow sand.

Hijacked. [Note 1] He was also imprisoned in a large box and transported to a certain place by horse-drawn carriage.

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Xin Yi calmed down. Before she knew who the other party was, she couldn't mess around. As for the little guy who drove the car, it is estimated that he is running errands, anyway, in the end, he will kill people and kill people, which is not too much.

Judging by the daylight that penetrated through the vents, it was already dusk. Xin Yi took a deep breath, the fat powder fragrance in Chang'an was already very light, and there was a smell of mutton with persimmon wine and Hu cakes.

The carriage was driving out of Chang'an. The direction is west. Xin Yi made a preliminary judgment.

Suddenly, a small wooden board in the box was opened, and a roll of Hu cakes and a bag of water were handed in, and the voice of the little servant sounded: "Eat some?"

Xin Yi looked at the food for a long time, but did not answer, but said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "This girl wants to be respectful." ”

Outside the box, there was a sound of whispering. After a long time, the box was opened from above, revealing the head of a middle-aged woman: "Come out." I'll go with you. ”

Izumi is just a normal excuse. Even if you can't escape, you can go out of the box to see the situation and then take countermeasures.

However, when Xin Yi climbed out of the box and looked back, she realized that things were not so simple.

She was carried in an ordinary carriage. There were several large boxes of Chang'an silk and a few bags of spices in the car, and a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman were driving the car. It seems to be an ordinary small businessman in Guanzhong, and the couple are together to do some business in the Western Regions.

What frightened Xin Yi the most was the man and the woman. The man's face is ordinary, his face is full of wind and frost, but his eyes are like a sleeping falcon, with a faint cold light. And the woman who followed behind Xin Yi, the footsteps were almost unheard, and she walked quietly, if she was holding a knife in her hand at this moment, it would be difficult to notice that the knife was on her neck.

Xin Yi retracted his gaze, and a cool air rose from the bottom of his heart.

Shadow Guard. These two people are not only not businessmen, nor even ordinary robbers, but must be shadow guards. Only the most well-trained night owls have such a sense of oppression that is so natural and constricted to the invisible.

Xin Yi quickly finished her congratulations, and on the way back to the carriage, she raised her eyes slightly and looked around. Vaguely see the boundary monument of Chang'an in the east, the Han people on the official road are rare, and the Hu people of all colors drive camels to and fro, and the tip of the nose is half a dozen yellow sand.

This once again confirmed her suspicions. The carriage had already exited the customs and was heading west. And Longxi, which went west, is now the area where the Great Wei and the Lu family are at war.

Xin Yi suddenly had a bad premonition. However, before she could think about it, the faint voice of the middle-aged woman came from behind her.

"Chickens and ducks with their wings tied will never struggle, because they will die faster. Miss Xin is a smart person, but don't be smart but be mistaken by smart. ”

The tone of his voice was calm, and he hid an irrepressible anger, and even the dagger under the coarse linen clothes was ready to move. If you can bring a living person, you will live a person, and if you can't bring a living person, you will take the head. This is a law that is not uncommon among shadow guards.

The coolness in Xin Yi's heart became stronger.

She did not answer or argue, but quietly hid every expression on her face, and then walked back to the carriage and got into the box herself.

"Drive-" The middle-aged man shouted, the whip shattered the sunset of Yangguan, and the carriage drove out leisurely.

In the next few days, the days of Xin Yi were spent in the box.

Every time the meal arrived, the big man handed her food in and wanted to stop the car temporarily. The rest of the time I was trapped in a box, not seeing the light of day, bound hand and foot. If it was night, it was close to finding an inn to rest, and the middle-aged woman who was a shadow guard would not leave an inch, and she would look at Xin Yi to death.

Xin Yi was silent all the way. After knowing that both of them were top shadow guards, she didn't expect to escape. Besides, the carriage has already driven out of Guanzhong and entered the territory of Longxi, and she is not familiar with the place, so she can't ask for help.

She could only be like a puppet, and was robbed to Longxi, where Wei and Lu were fighting.

In the evening of the tenth day. In front of the carriage appeared a barracks.

The desert is lonely, the camel bell is ringing, and the tip of a red sun in the sand dunes will not fall. The barracks stretched endlessly, the magnificent sheepskin tent was like a star, the patrol soldiers were like black ants, and next to the central military tent, there was a ten-zhang high military flag "Lu".

The carriage stopped in front of the central tent.

Immediately, a respectful report from the big man came from outside the carriage: "Xin has brought it." Please advise the Metropolitan Governor. ”

"The Governor has an order: take it directly to the Western Horde. "It was a lieutenant who answered.

"Obey!" As soon as the big man finished speaking, the lid of the box was suddenly lifted, and the middle-aged woman dragged Xin Yi out like a little chicken.

Xin Yi's ankle hit the edge of the box, and suddenly cracked, and the blood flowed profusely. But before she could stand firmly, her eyes were covered with a black cloth, and the voice of a middle-aged woman Sen Sen was in her ears: "This place is the Lu family's military camp." Even if Miss Xin has great ability, don't expect to make any waves in someone's nest. ”

Xin Yi was still silent, and he didn't know if he heard it. The middle-aged woman pushed Xin Yi forward fiercely: "Obediently follow me to the West Tent!"

Xin Yi didn't resist, didn't squeak, just let a few shadow guards escort her to the hinterland of the barracks, into a small and cold military tent.

The black cloth of his eyes was removed, but Xin Yi still felt that it was black.

It turned out that I didn't know when the sun had set, and the night outside the military tent was deep, and the bonfire was like stars. There were only a few thin candlesticks lit in the tent, and the light was deliberately suppressed, except for the square inch in front of him, the five fingers were not visible on all sides, and a few figures were faintly seen, like ghosts, so that people fell in half before they understood the courage.

Xin Yi struggled to flicker his eyes, adjusting to the dim light, and vaguely discerned a dozen shadow guards around him, surrounded by a young man at the top.
