Chapter 157: Exposed
The reason why Su Yiqing asked Sixi Mo to shout was that looking at this small group of officers and soldiers, everyone was drumming in their arms, as if they were carrying a lot of things, so they suspected where they were taking advantage of the fire to rob the property, since they could rob the money, they must not mind robbing the sex, or waiting for them to be escorted to a crowded place and shouting, in this kind of small alley, no one really knows what happened.
After all, officers and soldiers are officers and soldiers, although sometimes these officers and soldiers are not as good as bandits and bandits, but they don't think about it in public, and besides, looking at the appearance of these people stealing chickens and dogs, maybe they will meet a fat sheep or something, and they can't take care of their two little beggars.
The next thing proved the correctness of Su Yiqing's move, halfway a young woman with a beautiful figure was robbed, and when she saw the officers and soldiers, she ran over to call for help, but was hugged by the leader and was about to be dragged to the dark with a lewd smile, the young woman struggled desperately, her hair was scattered to the side, revealing a large frightening red birthmark, it turned out to be an ugly woman, the leader suddenly lost her appetite, and only pulled a silver hairpin from the young woman's head, and the young woman did not dare to ask for it, so she ran away.
Su Yiqing only felt that this Yunzhou City would definitely not be able to stand it, and it was a joke to expect such a big enemy to rob the officers and soldiers of the common people to defend against foreign enemies.
Halfway through, the group of officers and men arrested a few men who looked like they had no time to run, all of them were thin and small, and two of them seemed to be only eleven or twelve years old.
Su Yiqing never found a chance to run, so she was taken all the way to the temporary camp in the city.
The two eleven or twelve-year-olds were already crying, they had been out for a few days before the war broke out, and when they found out that something was wrong and wanted to go home, their families were gone, and then they were caught, and they were terrified when they heard that they were going to go to war.
"What's going on?" The group was stopped.
Stopping them was a suit of armor, a majestic general. The general was young, tall, square-faced, and had piercing eyes. It's exactly the same as the general on the New Year's painting, and it's very imposing.
"General Zhang, I have temporarily recruited these soldiers according to your orders. The leader just now said flatteringly to the big man who stopped them.
General Zhang didn't speak, his eyes only glanced at the people who had been captured, and then his eyes were fixed on the arms of these leaders.
"General, this is the scattered property of the rich people in the city, and the small ones will help them put it away. With a painful face, the leader took out a small pile of jewelry from his arms and sent it to General Zhang.
General Zhang's face was expressionless, and he suddenly drew his sword without warning. The hand fell up, and the leader's head separated from the body, and it happened so quickly that the leader maintained a distressed expression on his face, and blood sprayed all over the ground.
Screams rang out. The soldiers were fine, only kneeling and begging for mercy, and several of the strong men who had been temporarily captured screamed hysterically in fear.
Su Yiqing reacted quickly, and quickly covered her mouth when Sixi let out a half-scream.
General Zhang said coldly: "What General Ben is afraid of hating the most is to take advantage of the fire to rob people who do not abide by military discipline, pull others down, and hit the twenty boards first." Remember the others, and fight in a few days.
"Yes, General. "Another small group of soldiers came up and dragged away all the soldiers who had just taken the strong men.
Just now, the two eleven or twelve-year-old boys were so frightened that they peed their pants on the spot, and General Zhang glanced at him with disgust and said: "Manly man, just bleed without tears." are so adults, why do you still pee your pants, just the two of you, where can you be a soldier, I don't raise idlers under me. Let's go. β
The people who were caught really felt that they had escaped, so they hurriedly crawled and left.
Su Yiqing was about to leave with Sixi in tow, when General Zhang suddenly shouted, "You two stop." β
Sixi's feet instantly softened again, his teeth only chattered, and if it weren't for Su Yiqing's support, he would almost collapse to the ground.
The General Zhang looked at them for a moment and asked sharply, "Are you women?"
At this time, Su Yiqing didn't want to deny it, they just disguised it a little, and they weren't too delicate, they could still see it if they looked closely, not to mention that Sixi screamed half a way just now, and someone who was interested had already heard it, so they could only nod.
"What is the intention of changing clothes and wanting to blend into the barracks?" General Zhang's face became even more stern, and he said, "Mo Feier and the others are spies, and they will be pressed down and interrogated strictly." β
"The general spares his life......" Sixi couldn't stop and cried.
"This general, we are just ordinary civilian women, separated from our families, and now the city is in chaos, in order to prevent accidents, it is convenient to walk on the road, so we disguised ourselves as men, and were arrested by pure accidents, please see the general. Su Yiqing said calmly, "If we were really spies, we wouldn't want to blend into the barracks." β
"You're quite bold. General Zhang squinted, glanced at Su Yiqing, and said, "Where are you from, what is your surname, and where do you live?"
Su Yiqing said: "We live in Laohuaishu Street in the west of the city, my name is Sister Qiao, my family runs a bun shop, called Xiaoqing Bun Shop, her name is Sixi, she is my neighbor, and her family is a carpenter." β
"Why are you two women separated from your family?" General Zhang asked again.
Su Yiqing didn't dare to hesitate, but she didn't have time to think about it in detail, and said, "We are going to collect medicinal herbs outside the city...... I got lost in the mountains, and when I came back the next day, I found that the city was in chaos, and I didn't find my family, so I changed into men's clothes and prepared to escape from the city with the group. β
General Zhang pondered for a while, his face seemed to loosen, and only after a moment did he wave his hand and say, "Take them down first, and wait for me to order someone to go to the old locust tree alley to inquire clearly before making plans." β
In this way, Su Yiqing and Sixi were taken to a mansion.
After Sixi was frightened, under Su Yiqing's comfort, Qing XΓΉ slowly calmed down, and only asked worriedly: "Sister Qiao, what should we do now? Will that general do anything to us?"
"Probably not, this general looks upright, and at this time, if he is really a mustard, he doesn't need to talk nonsense with us at all, and he won't waste time looking for someone to go to our house to investigate, and directly torture him, even like killing the officer and soldier who arrested us. β
Su Yiqing analyzed them one by one, and Sixi relaxed a little, and said: "Sister Qiao, we are trapped here and can't leave for a while, what should Xiaoqing do?"
Su Yiqing smiled bitterly: "There was a war, it was already good if the two of us could save our lives, where can we take care of so much, individuals have their own lives, whether it is a blessing or a curse, Sixi, at this time, you should no longer think about the private affairs of your children, think about your father and brother, after you disappeared, they were in a hurry." β
Sixi bit his lip and said, "Can I ask you something?"
Su Yiqing nodded, what else is there to hide at this time.
Sixi said: "You and Xiaoqing are not sisters and brothers, right?"
"Why do you ask?" Su Yiqing didn't answer Sixi's question positively, but she was helpless that this girl was still thinking about her children's private affairs at this time, no matter how simple it was, it was easier to get happiness.
Sixi said in a low voice: "On the mountain, that Mrs. Chen said that you are her sister, and did not mention Xiaoqing half a word, I thought she really recognized the wrong person, but later, ...... Mrs. Chen really didn't recognize the wrong person, I used to think that Xiaoqing had someone in his heart, but I don't know who it was, and I never thought that you were not his own sister, no wonder Xiaoqing didn't look down on me, if I were a man, I would also like my sister like this, beautiful, gentle, and courageous at critical moments. β
"Sixi, you are also a strong and good girl, so many things have happened to ordinary girls in the past few days, and they have already collapsed, I can be so calm, but I have experienced a little more. Su Yiqing sighed and touched Sixi's hair and comforted, "If this matter can pass, Xiaoqing will understand your good, it's just ......"
"Just what?" Sixi looked up at Sister Qiao, it seemed that she still couldn't let go of Xiaoqing, and all she was thinking about in her eyes was Xiaoqing.
Su Yiqing said softly: "Sometimes don't be too attached to your feelings, if he doesn't like you, blindly wronged himself to please the other party, as a woman suffers a lot, a lifetime is too long, it is too difficult to persist like this, and in the end, you may find that your grievances can not get a little gratitude from the other party, a man will only think that he marrying you is his greatest charity to you, you can't repay you for a lifetime, and it is better for a woman to find someone who likes her more." β
"But it's so uncomfortable to live with someone you don't like. Talking about emotional problems, Sixi slowly relaxed and pouted, "Just like Ah Rong's cousin on the next street, he obeys me, but I don't like him." β
"So your feelings for Cousin Ah Rong are the feelings that Xiaoqing feels for you. β
Su Yiqing's words were like a slap in the face, and Sixi was stunned, Xiaoqing treated her like she did to Ah Rong's cousin, it was really terrible.
"Sister Qiao, did Xiaoqing tell you?" Sixi asked tightly holding Su Yiqing's hand.
Su Yiqing said softly: "There are some things that don't need to be said explicitly. β
Sixi was stunned suddenly, and a wave of grievances hit his heart, and he suddenly fell on Su Yiqing's shoulder and cried.
Zhang Qifeng sat in the military tent and listened to the soldier's report.
The soldier who went to inquire said: "General, inquire clearly, there is indeed a Xiaoqing bun shop in Lao Huaishu Hutong, the bun shop is a mother and son, the son is called Xiaoqing, the daughter is called Sister Qiao, and there is also a girl named Sixi, the daughter of the carpenter is not far away, listening to the description, the appearance is the same as the two girls, but there is a little strange, the Sixi girl has been missing for a few days, and the blacksmith's family is still looking for Xiaoqing's family to ask for someone in the first few days, saying that Xiaoqing ran away from Sixi, that is, some children's private affairs. β
Another soldier said: "General, I listened to the conversation between the two girls, their voices were not loud, and they couldn't hear very clearly, but it seems that most of them are also some children's private affairs, it is the one named Sixi who likes Xiaoqing, but Xiaoqing doesn't like her, and the one called Sister Qiao seems to persuade Sixi not to be too persistent or something." β
