Chapter 33 If you want to return to China, you will become a prisoner
In order to kill Han Xiaoyue, Situ Sheng did not hesitate to injure Ding Yuechan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Although Ding Yuechan had already forgiven him in her heart, Yu Zhengmei still told her about Situ Sheng's past evil deeds, hoping that she could break off her good impression of Situ Sheng from now on. Han Xiaoyue and Long Yan made an appointment to meet at Kuzen Temple, and asked Long Yan to take advantage of the chaos to leave and go all the way to the east. However, he himself planned to return to his homeland again, defend the frontier for the country, and be ashamed of the source city of the Snow River.
Yu Zhengmei looked at him and said, "Han Xiaoyue, we might as well gamble." If you go to see your emperor, you will definitely be beheaded, and if you are unlucky, you will be beheaded all over the house. Do you believe it or not? Tell you, I still understand this truth, you are a general of the defeated army, and no emperor will spare you!"
Han Xiaoyue said with a sad face: "I...... So what should I do?"
Yu Zhengmei thought for a moment and said: "In my opinion, if you are really loyal to the court and determined to serve the country, then don't care what the emperor will think of you." If you don't go back, your Han family will still be loyal to the imperial court, but once you go back, you will be ruined. ”
"What do you mean......"
"I mean, you don't want to go back. Prove that you have lost all your martial arts now, so you might as well follow that girl to the Kuzen Temple!"
Han Xiaoyue shook her head: "In this way, then I really can't raise my head, and the Han clan will always become the sinners of the Shu Kingdom!"
"What, then you insist on going back to Shu, can you give up that girl?"
Han Xiaoyue closed her eyes, her heart was extremely entangled. Of course, he can't give up Long Yan, but compared with the family's reputation, everything can be resigned.
"Third sister, you know so much! Where did you learn all this?" Ding Yuechan looked at Yu Zhengmei and said.
Yu Zhengmei waved her hand and said, "Hey, fourth sister, I am a few years older than all of you, what's so strange about knowing more truths? The important thing is whether you two can listen to my kind words and persuasions." As he spoke, he looked at Ding Yuechan and said, "Especially you, Fourth Sister." ”
Han Xiaoyue nodded and said, "The heroine has a point!"
Ding Yuechan also imitated Han Xiaoyue's movements and tone and said, "The woman has a point!"
"That's right. Yu Zhengmei chuckled and continued, "Help people to the end." Since the fourth sister is so protective of you, I will also give you a ride. Tonight, I will escort you out of this place, and the rest is up to you. ”
After hearing this, Han Xiaoyue hurriedly got up and saluted: "Thank you for saving your life!"
This move alarmed Situ Sheng in the other corner. Yu Zhengmei hurriedly stopped him and signaled him not to make a noise. However, Situ Sheng has already guessed eight or nine. That night, Yu Zhengmei and Ding Yuechan escorted Han Xiaoyue and left Daping Town. In the end, he decided to be ashamed of the source city of the Snow River.
The four of them went all the way west to bypass Jiangyuan City, and went deep into the territory of Shu from the path. Situ Sheng followed closely behind, but he was not half a step closer, and always maintained a distance not far away. And before, Ding Yuechan had already thrown the final bottom line to him: "As long as you don't hurt Han Xiaoyue, I can still forgive you." If you dare to hurt him in the slightest, I will never see you!" Knowing that he couldn't hurt him, he still insisted on following, and Situ Sheng didn't understand what he was doing this for. At this moment, it is no longer just as simple as keeping an eye on Han Xiaoyue. He always felt that once he left Ding Yuechan for half a step, he would lose her. Other than that, he was helpless.
Stepping into Shudi, Han Xiaoyue felt an aura of ruin and decadence, and was full of panic and uneasiness. Overnight, everything in Shu seemed to have changed. "This can't be done!" Han Xiaoyue looked at the displaced people around her and the starvation all over the ground, and thought to herself, "In such a situation, how can you stop the army of the Song Kingdom!"
Yu Zhengmei looked at these refugees and beggars and did not feel pity for them. On the contrary, she felt that it seemed more humane to end the lives of these people. Ding Yuechan's every step was very difficult, she had never seen so much killing and disaster, and she felt that she was close to hell. Situ Sheng blindly dodged, for fear that these dirty people would defile his clean clothes.
Han Xiaoyue saw the outline of the city in front of her, and she was overjoyed. turned around and bowed deeply to Yu Zhengmei and Ding Yuechan, "Thank you again for sending me here." Ahead should be Liangcheng, where my staff friends are located. ”
Ding Yuechan nodded and said, "Han Xiaoyue, then let's say goodbye." As he spoke, he glanced back at Situ Sheng, who was slightly embarrassed, and continued, "Don't worry, Situ Sheng, we will hold you back, and he won't dare to do anything out of the ordinary." ”
Yu Zhengmei stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, I have my own way to lure him away." ”
Han Xiaoyue saluted again: "Then it will trouble the two heroines." Great kindness, Han Xiaoyue is unforgettable!"
Situ Sheng looked at the dirty refugees and beggars around him, and felt that every pore on his body was inhaled with a disgusting breath, and he wished to beat them up to relieve the hatred in his heart. Because Ding Yuechan was not far ahead, he used his strength to suppress his anger, just dodging a dirty body.
"Hey, Han Xiaoyue!" Situ Sheng saw Han Xiaoyue running farther and farther, and hurriedly wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Yu Zhengmei and Ding Yuechan.
"Situ Sheng!" Yu Zhengmei walked up to him and said, "What, do you still want to do it?"
Situ Sheng sneered: "Do it, you two are here, how can I do it?"
Yu Zhengmei nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will continue to act according to the original plan." Tonight, I will rush back to the camp with you, and before the army starts, I will get rid of Li Chenghan for you!"
"Oh?" Situ Sheng couldn't believe that Yu Zhengmei still remembered her promise in this situation.
"Oh what?" Yu Zhengmei said, "Although there is no Han Xiaoyue to carry the black cauldron, then there is no need to make a scapegoat." I'm going to kill people!"
Ding Yuechan hurriedly took Yu Zhengmei's hand and said, "Third sister, why do you want to kill people again?"
Yu Zhengmei stroked Ding Yuechan's face and said, "Fourth sister, this is something I promised before, I have to do it, you don't have to stop me." You go back to Daping Town first, and when I'm done, I'll definitely go back with you!"
"But, eldest sister, ......"
"Eldest sister, I have my own saying, you have to be obedient, okay?" Yu Zhengmei said, hugging Ding Yuechan, "The third sister promised you that I would go back with you this time and I would not go out of the mountain again!"
Ding Yuechan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed.
Han Xiaoyue approached the city gate and found that the city gate was closed. Looking through the crack in the door, the city was pitch black.
Outside the city walls, there are refugees from nowhere, chatting in the dark night to pass the time. Han Xiaoyue stood next to her and listened casually, estimating that she would only be able to enter the city tomorrow.
"That young man!" Suddenly, I felt someone talking in the corner, "that young man standing!"
Han Xiaoyue turned around, but she couldn't see who was talking.
A stone flew from the corner and hit him in the back. Looking back, I saw a refugee with a black face lying there, baring his snow-white teeth and snickering: "Can't you see me?
Han Xiaoyue approached to take a closer look, and only then did she see the outline of this refugee. I saw that his face was black and he was smiling. Unkempt hair that looks like it hasn't been washed in days. The clothes on his body are difficult to distinguish the color and texture, and his expression is lazy, but his eyes reveal a resolute determination that seems to be in his chest.
"You called me?" Han Xiaoyue wondered.
"Of course I called you!" the refugee laughed, "You guys, do you still want to go into the city so late? It's already curfew!"
After hearing this, Han Xiaoyue instinctively told herself that this person seemed to know a lot of details about the Shu Kingdom, so she sat down and asked, "Where did you flee here?"
The refugee smiled, sat up and said, "Don't hide it, I'm from Nanling City." ”
"Nanling City?" Han Xiaoyue's eyes lit up, "Nanling City and the capital are only a hundred miles, so you must know a lot about the situation in the capital, right?"
Speaking of which, the refugees seem to be in the mood. When the other refugees around them heard this, they also surrounded the two of them, pricking up their ears to hear what strange things this "Nanling man" would bring.
The "Nanling people" cleared their throats and said, "Nanling City has a big incident! Someone is rebelling, do you know it?"
"Rebellion? "Oh, who is so bold as to dare to rebel?" the other refugees were surprised and began to discuss.
"Nanling people" continued: "I am a butcher, and the rebel is a strong man who often comes to my house to buy meat. It is said that all the men in this person's house were confiscated, causing him to suffer huge losses, and then he rose up!" I saw the "Nanling people" dancing and talking, picking up a stone on the ground, and painting on the ground while talking.
This person first called on the villagers to kill the Taishou of Nanling City, and then released the strong men who were captured by the official army. Then, he opened the arsenal in the city, armed all the men in the city, and went all the way to the west to the bottom of the capital. ”
Han Xiaoyue was stunned on the spot, and hurriedly asked, "That's ...... The emperor ......"
"The emperor couldn't sit still at all, and sent troops from all over the country to quell the rebellion, but in the end it was not completely wiped out. It is said that this rebel army is now coming in the direction of Liangcheng, maybe it will only be these two days!"
The refugees gave a thumbs up and praised: "Good man, you rescued those strong men who were captured." If only they could come, I don't want to run away anymore!"
Han Xiaoyue thought to herself: "This is terrible! The external worries have not been settled, and the internal troubles have been added, I have to see Your Majesty immediately!"
Seeing that Han Xiaoyue didn't speak, the "Nanling people" pushed him and said, "Young man, aren't you going to join us in the rebels?"
"Rebels, I think it's a rebel!" Han Xiaoyue thought so in her heart, but waved her hand and said, "I think it's better to forget it, I don't know martial arts or strategy, so I won't add to the chaos." With that, he walked out of the crowd.
The refugees didn't care about Han Xiaoyue, they surrounded the "Nanling people" more tightly, and asked him for more information about the rebels, as if the more they knew, the more likely they would be able to survive when the rebels arrived.
Han Xiaoyue looked up at the two big words "Liangcheng" on the city gate, and her heart was even more anxious. If it is really as this "Nanling man" said, how will the rebels protect themselves when they arrive here?
At this moment, the city gate suddenly opened slowly, like a beast letting out a low roar, startling everyone to avoid it. Suddenly several fast horses burst out of the city, followed by a group of soldiers, each with chains and long knives. The officer-like man at the head rode on a tall horse and shouted.
"Brothers, obey the order! Lock up all these rioters, beggars, and fugitives for me!" After speaking, he drew his horsewhip and waved it in the air, making a "pop" sound.
The soldiers threw their chains and ropes out one after another, like cattle and sheep, and in an instant they detained dozens of refugees.
A few of the refugees, who still didn't know what to do, asked loudly, "Why are you locking us up, and what have we done?"
The officer swung his whip at the speaker, and the crack in his arm caused a large gash and blood flowing. The officer shouted: "What do you say! The country is in danger, you refugees are waiting to die, it is better to let Lao Tzu go to the front line!" The refugees were beaten by this, and they became honest one after another, and did not dare to struggle anymore.
"Hey, that! Tie me up the one who asked for food!" The leader of the officers and soldiers took advantage of the moonlight to see Han Xiaoyue, who was silent in the corner. As soon as the words fell, several soldiers stepped forward, holding iron chains, and tied Han Xiaoyue into a knot in a few strokes.
"I ......" Han Xiaoyue just wanted to reveal her identity, but after thinking about it, if she found out her identity here, I am afraid that no one would believe it. was honestly escorted and walked to the back of the line.
"It's okay today, I caught more than 30 of them. A soldier was beside Han Xiaoyue, saying as he walked.
"Yes, these people are blessed. I think that when our brothers wanted to eat the emperor's food, they squeezed their heads. Now that there is a war, anyone can be a soldier. As he spoke, another soldier pointed at Han Xiaoyue and said, "See, the beggars are all fucking eating the emperor's grain!"
"These dog's eyes actually treat me like a beggar...... Han Xiaoyue self-deprecatingly raised the corners of her mouth slightly, laughing as she walked.
When the soldier saw him laughing, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "What's the matter, brother, what's the joy?"
Han Xiaoyue cleared her throat and said, "Master Jun, I don't know where you are arresting us?"
"Don't ask so much. Honestly, we don't know. The soldier said, tugging at his clothes, "You see, yesterday I was wearing a tattered garment, and today I have put on a new one." Do you know what that means?"
Han Xiaoyue shook her head. As if he knew some shocking secret, the soldier laughed twice and said: "That is to say, the court told us to send us to death, put on a new dress, and prepare to go on the road!"
"Master Jun, maybe we can win, and everyone can come back safely!"
The soldier patted Han Xiaoyue on the shoulder and said, "Young man, you are too immature. If you fight, you will die, and even if you win, you dare not say that you can live. Nanling City rebelled, and I heard that even the Taishou was beheaded. The world is not peaceful, let's count it as a day!" As he spoke, the soldier took two steps and walked ahead.
Han Xiaoyue thought to herself: "Alas, these people go directly to the battlefield without training, and they are simply going to die. ”
After less than half an hour, the procession stopped. Only then did Han Xiaoyue realize that she had followed the team from outside the city all the way north to the outskirts of the city. Seeing the large and small tents around me, I realized that this familiar environment was the military camp of the Shu army. The officer who was riding on the horse just now was arranging accommodation for the group, and because the tent was not enough, Han Xiaoyue was arranged to sleep on the ground.
It's a good idea to run away at night.
The officers made arrangements and left, leaving only a few soldiers here to watch the thirty or so refugees. The people around him lay down one after another, and snoring sounded. Only Han Xiaoyue stared, watching the soldier's every move hard. The soldiers were just chatting together in groups of three or five, nothing more than seeing what beautiful girls in the city and some old stories about their hometowns.
In the snoring crowd, Han Xiaoyue saw the "Nanling people" just now. He seemed to be very excited, and when he saw Han Xiaoyue staring at him, he showed his white teeth and laughed softly. Two large eyeballs swirled back and forth in the moonlight, as if they were also looking for the right time to get out of here.
After a day of capturing the strong men, the soldiers felt extremely tired, and the chatting voice gradually became quieter. Instead, they put down their swords and spears, took off their armor, and fell asleep under their heads. After another half of the incense stick, Han Xiaoyue's ears only had the subtle cries of unknown insects.
"It's time!" Han Xiaoyue thought, slowly sitting up. The "Nanling Man" sat up with him as well, his eyes fixed on him. Han Xiaoyue didn't notice, just stood up slowly, trying to find a way out through the gap, tiptoeing around the crowd.
