307 Accompanying the Army
Yan Qi put the bow on her body, but took the slingshot that Cui Xi gave her in her hand, and the slingshot flew quickly, hitting the face of the man who rushed to the front with a snap, the man paused in pain, but rushed towards this car more quickly.
Yan Qi thought about it, although he was a little sorry, he still aimed the second bow between the man's legs, and went over with a "snap", and the man bent down with a "snort" and covered his vital point in pain.
Young Master Yan Jiu gave his sister a roll of the eye as he ran: "You are too intense." β
The word "......" fierce is a pun on no one.
However, the refugees are pitiful, and it is hateful to evolve into chaotic people, Yan Qi showed no mercy, the slingshot in his hand did not stop, killing one stone and one bird neatly and simply, effectively blocking a wave of offensives, but he couldn't stand the crowd, so he could only block and retreat with Young Master Yan Jiu, and went around to the other side of the inn, but saw that there was already chaos, the refugee gang was frantically chasing the guests who escaped from the inn, the carriage shed was far away, and it was already in chaos, a group of refugees tried to snatch the carriage, Wuzhi was driving a horse and tried to break through the encirclement to respond, and then looked around, the inn was surging around the box to squeeze into the refugees- Hundreds of refugees!
"Up the tree. Yan Qiyi pointed to the big locust tree next to him, which was already leafy, and Young Master Yan Jiu climbed up in a few moments without hesitation, hiding among the densest branches and leaves, and his figure was almost invisible in the dim night.
Yan Qi didn't rush to go up the tree to hide, but quietly approached a young refugee who was jumping with his back to her periphery and wanted to rush in to help at any time.
This hand was learned from Xiao Chen, along the way, the two of them exercised every day, not only did she teach him archery skills, he also taught her some self-protection moves that could only be done without using internal force and long-term practice, such as this move, cutting the back of a person's neck directly stunned people, it seems simple but it is not easy to master the strength, the hand is heavy and can cut people to death, and the hand is light and can not stun the other party, so the strength of the hand is the most important thing, and it just so happens that Yan Qi's hand is more stable than anyone else, and the mastery of strength and details is so accurate that even Xiao Chen sighs to himselfγ
I just learned this trick, I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon, Yan Qi dragged this person to a dark place, divided the clothes from two to three, and then concocted the same method, and cut one to stripped off the clothes, then climbed the tree with the clothes, and handed one to Young Master Yan Jiu: "Change it." β
ββ¦β¦ Do not change. Young Master Yan Jiu, who was holding the branch, moved to the side in disgust, and instead hugged the one next to him, leaving the back of his head to his sister who was not particular.
"Just go back and take a shower, and besides, this dress is fat, you can put it on the outside of this body directly," Yan Qi coaxed her family to respect, "Don't be willful, let's pretend to be refugees and go out, and it won't be good to mix out when it's dawn." β
Young Master Yan Jiu turned around slowly for a long time, took the clothes, frowned and wrapped them outside, Yan Qi also put on the clothes he had snatched, and even covered them with a bow and arrow and a backpack, and the two of them carefully slid down from the tree, and grabbed a handful of mud and wiped it on their faces, and then lowered their heads and shrank back, slowly squeezing into more and more groups of refugees.
At this moment, the inside and outside of the inn have become chaotic, full of refugees, constantly trying to rush to the inn, wanting to grab more food, clothes and belongings, Yan Qi sisters and brothers were pushed by the surging crowd and could not help themselves, and they could only keep themselves from being washed away by holding hands tightly.
At this time, it was obviously unrealistic to go to Cui Xi Xiao Chen and Wuzhi, so I could only try to keep myself out as much as possible, I don't know how long it took for the sister and brother to easily squeeze into the periphery, and at this time they were already on the official road outside the inn, and then looked around, there were still many refugees near and far who were watching.
"Go south, go to the outermost part and wait for them," Yan Qi said, "I made an appointment with Xiao Chen to go back to the previous city if we were separated, let's wait outside first, and then return to the city if we can't wait." β
The siblings quietly walked south in a hidden place, until they reached a place where they could no longer see the refugees, and then climbed up the tree and sat down among the branches to wait.
The chaotic night gradually passed, and when the sky was slightly dark, Yan Qi heard the sound of rolling footsteps from the south in the distance.
"There are a lot of people here," Yan Qi told his younger brother, "there are people with horses and carts, with loads and weapons. β
"Grain Army?" Young Master Yan Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly, this is really a narrow encounter, maybe there will be a big collision between those refugees and the grain army.
The army is going to pass through here, and it is not good for two people to stay in the tree anymore, and if they are regarded as people who have intentions for military rations and ordnance, they will be killed on the spot without discussion.
The sister and brother came down from the tree and walked farther away, Young Master Yan Jiu glanced at his sister: "I haven't seen those three people at this time, I'm afraid that the situation will change." β
"No," Yan Qidao said, "Even if you can't get out of the inn, Xiao Chen will definitely be able to keep Cui Xiaosi safe, and Wuzhi is not so rigid, if you can't break through, you should abandon the car and leave first, maybe you're looking for us inside at this time." β
Young Master Yan Jiu lowered his eyes and stopped talking, his sister refused to take a step away from him, otherwise she would have sneaked back to find someone, so why bother waiting here, and he was not selfish if he didn't speak, how could he rest assured that she would return to danger.
He didn't stay here for long, and the sound of the rumbling of men and horses passing by came from the direction where Fang was hiding, and lasted for a full two moments, and when the sound faded away, the four fields returned to a terrible silence.
"Let's go back and have a look," Young Master Yan Jiu said, "The army has just passed, and the refugees don't dare to act rashly." β
The two of them followed the road back, but saw that there was no one outside the inn, and there was silence in all directions, as if what happened last night was a dream.
However, when I opened the door of the inn and confirmed that what happened last night was true, what had just happened was incredibleβin the hall on the first floor of the inn, more than 100 refugees were all bound hand and foot with their belts, socks or rags that I don't know what they were, all of them men, women, and children!
"Who did that?" Yan Qi asked him as he pulled out one of the things that was stuffed in his mouth.
ββ¦β¦ Soldier...... Those soldiers just now ......" the man said in a trembling voice, "Help me untie my ......"
Bing is the army that held the grain just now.
It is indeed difficult to mess with the rioters and mobs, but if you encounter soldiers, you will become five scum in every minute.
So a bunch of rioters were caught, tied up, and piled up like garbage by the soldiers.
"You're not going to grab military rations, are you?" Yan Qi felt that the grain transporters shouldn't have the spare time to clean up the garbage along the road.
"βHow dare we!" cried the man, "it was the first official there who said, 'All the beauties who dare to frighten me will be cut down,' and the sabers were raised, and they were persuaded to save our lives...... Why are you all right? You escaped on your own? Hurry up and untie me!"
Yan Qi re-gagged this person's mouth, and was about to go to the second floor to check, but he heard footsteps outside, and ran in to someone, but it was Wuzhi, and when he saw Yan Qi's sisters and brothers, his tears were about to fall: "Little dereliction of duty!
Yan Qi shook his hand: "Don't make a fuss, have you seen Xiao Chen and Cui Xi?"
"See-" Wuzhi didn't admit his mistake, wiped his face and said busily," Last night, the small abandoned car rushed to the second floor to find the young lady and the young masters, but found that the room was empty, and quickly turned outside to look for it, but there were too many refugees, and it was dark at night, and the small one was looking for it until dawn today, and then he wanted to go to the south to find it, but he saw the army of the grain passing, a group of soldiers rushed over murderously, and the little one first found a hidden place to hide, and after a while, the grain army left, and the little one was about to continue to search, and he saw the young master of the Xiao family not far behind the grain army, and saw the small one and the small one said- The young master of the Cui family and the escort officer seem to know each other, after the two of them left the inn, they were going south, and they were meeting the grain army, the young master of the Cui family asked the escort officer to rectify the chaos and help the young lady and the young master get out, and later found that the young master was not in the inn, so he followed the escort officer and left with the army - Young Master Cui asked Young Master Xiao to tell the young lady and the young master, and the young master Cui said...... Say ......"
Speaking of this, Wuzhi hesitated a little, but in the end he gritted his teeth and said: "Young Master Cui said that he followed the grain army, and he was not afraid of the steep road and bad environment on the way to Beisai...... Young Master Xiao said that he would also follow Young Master Cui with the army, and let the little one tell the young lady and the young master to know......"
Cui Xi is a very clear person, he can see that Young Master Yan Jiu actually wants to go north, if it weren't for him to follow, he was afraid that the sisters and brothers would have already turned the road to the north, so he took the opportunity of this incident to make a first cut and then play, so that the Yan Qi sisters and brothers didn't even have a chance to resign, so they sent themselves on the difficult road to the north.
Young Master Yan Jiu held his hands, lowered his eyes and was silent.
Yan Qi was also speechless for a while, and confessed to Xiao Chen last night, "Cui Xi pleases it to you", but this upright guy really kept his word to the end, and protected Cui Xi all the way to the north......
Wuzhi has nothing to say, at this point, he can't persuade these two little masters not to go north, and the two friends are in the grain army...... This time he is dead, and the master will definitely peel him when he returns......
It was a foregone conclusion that they would go north, the three of them returned to the inn, Yan Qi took the shopkeeper out of the crowd and loosened the tie - the group of soldiers didn't care about anything 3721, even the refugees and the guests of the inn were all tied up and thrown here, borrowed paper and pen from the shopkeeper, Yan Qi wrote a letter to Yan Zike, and told them truthfully about going to Beisai, and then handed it over to the shopkeeper to help send it out.
The three of them didn't delay much, and immediately took the Xiaolu to the north, and it took half an hour to catch up with the grain army, and they also saw Xiao Chen who was following the team.
"Get in the car. Yan Qi greeted him.
"Do you know who the escort officer is?" After Xiao Chen sat back in the car, Young Master Yan Jiu asked him.
"I don't know. Xiao Chen shook his head, glanced at Yan Qi, and paused before he said, "But that person seems to be ...... to Cui Xi With unusual intentions. β
"I'll wipe it, it won't be Lei Yu's goods. "Yan Qidao.
"Wipe what?" Xiao Chen asked.
"I'm going to see Lei Yu. "Yan Qidao.
"If it's really Lei Yu, he will definitely refuse to let him go," Young Master Yan Jiu said, "And if you use force, you will be suspected of robbing military rations, and then don't say that it is you, and the whole family in Beijing will be affected." β
Military rations are more important than anything else, and anyone who comes near them can be shot dead for no reason.
"Anyway, let's see Cui Xi first. "Yan Qidao.
So when the grain army was stationed in the queue and prepared to spend the night, Yan Qi took Yan Zike's famous thorn and came forward, the famous thorn was given to her by Yan Zike for emergency use, this time came in handy, Xiao Chen followed her without saying a word, and Young Master Yan Jiu stayed in the car, guarded by Wuzhi.
Yan Zike's name thorn was handed to the big tent of the garrison sanitation layer by layer, and a soldier came over in the middle of the night and took Yan Qi and Xiao Chen into the big tent.
In the big tent, the person sitting on the front seat was not that Lei Yu, who else could it be, Cui Xi was sitting next to him, just holding a teacup and drinking hot tea, Lei Yu didn't bother to look at Yan Qi and Xiao Chen at all, and the two eyes just looked at Cui Xi's lips without blinking, and on both sides of this tent, there were guards with guns and knives.
There is simply no chance to snatch someone.
Seeing Yan Qi, Cui Xi put down the teacup with a smile, got up and walked over, as soon as he moved, the guards full of tents put their hands on the hilt of the gun, and they could make a move in the blink of an eye, and all eyes were staring at Cui Xi and Yan Qi Xiao Chen.
"I'm worried about you," Cui Xi walked in front of Yan Qi, "I'm unscathed, and Lang Zhong who eats, drinks and is with the army, there will be no problem, don't worry." β
"You......" Yan Qi sighed, "Xiao Jiu, that kid is not so stubborn, Beisai doesn't have to go." β
"Now that I have the conditions to go, why don't I go?" Cui Xi smiled, "There is no better opportunity than now, there is an army escort, at least ** can be avoided, and natural dangers can be easily overcome, if it is normal, even if there are no soldiers, no famine and no refugees on the way north, a few of us are afraid of danger if we want to arrive independently, and now that we have such an opportunity, wouldn't it be a pity not to push the boat down the river?"
"If you can guarantee that the goods will not touch you, I will promise to go north with the army," Yan Qidao said, "If not, I will try to fight with him." β
Cui Xi's eyes lit up, and he smiled lightly: "I promise, I won't let him touch my finger, don't worry." β
"Is that guaranteed that he will let you go back to the Fawn?" Yan Qi asked.
Cui Xi smiled: "You go back to the Xiaolu first and wait for my news." β
Yan Qi didn't stay long, and Xiao Chen was led out of the big tent by the soldiers, and returned to the Xiaolu parked on the periphery of the garrison.
When he was about to rest, he heard footsteps outside the car, and Wuzhi's voice shouted: "Young Master Cui!" Then Cui Xi opened the car door and walked in from outside with a smile.
"Wuzhi is fast, let's turn around and let's go. "Yan Qidao.
Wuzhi came in from outside the door, with a bitter face: "Miss, take a look outside." β
Yan Qi lifted the curtain of the car and took a look out, okay, there were three layers inside and three layers outside, and the whole Xiaolu was surrounded by soldiers.
"I'm really not used to being watched and sleeping by so many people. Yan Qi sighed and lowered the curtains.
"This is his limit," Cui Xi sat back on his couch, "There's nothing wrong with it, at least it's safe." β
"Can he let you be on the Fawn during the day?" Yan Qi asked.
Cui Xi nodded and smiled: "I only have to go to his tent for dinner." β
"So it's a foregone conclusion that we will go to Beisai with the army?" Yan Qidao. Outside the window, there was a faint cry of Wuzhi.
"Go ahead, I want to see the desert sand too. Cui Xi smiled.
"When the time comes, you'll hate to take a shower eight times a day, I'll tell you. Yan Qi had no choice but to accept this result, turned his head and asked Young Master Yan Jiu, "What about you, do you have any questions?"
Young Master Yan Jiu glanced at Cui Xi faintly: "What other problems can be problems now?"
Cui Xi just laughed.
"By the way, what did Lei Yu do as an escort officer?" Yan Qi asked Cui Xi.
"It is said that it is the emperor's will," Cui Xi laughed, "I wanted him to go to Beisai for training, and it happened that the front-line military rations were in short supply, so he made him an escort officer, but it was just a false name, and the real manager was the grain and grass supervision, he only walked with the team once, if he could arrive safely, it would be regarded as a military merit." β
"The military rations are in short supply. Young Master Yan Jiu heard these four words, turned over and lay down on the couch, "Sleep." β
Sleep, tomorrow onwards, they will really go north, and their father and mother, who have not seen each other for ten years, are in that place. 166 Reading Network
