Chapter 9: Choices (3)

Si Yang waited outside the prison, saw Lan Zhi coming, and said to the captain: "Thank you." I'll take her in. ”

Lan Zhi followed Si Yang into the prison. The long corridor was dimly lit, Lan Zhi glanced at Si Yang, and saw that her face was calm, and she thought that the situation was not so bad, and her heart was slightly relieved. Then he inquired: "Si Qianhu, why did Lord Xiang recruit me to the prison? ”

Si Yang didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Lan Zhi, on the day you joined the army, why didn't you stab the body of that Yuyuan person?" ”

Lan Zhi didn't expect her to ask this question, and hesitated for a moment and said, "I...... I don't dare. ”

Si Yang walked forward slowly: "I know that person. He was originally a hundred households of Hu Weiwei, and he looked like an understanding person on weekdays, but he didn't expect to do the fine work of the Central Plains. He delivered the news to the anti-thieves of the Central Plains Kingdom, and when the left-behind army was defeated, thousands of Yuyuan soldiers were killed. ”

After saying this, Si Yang glanced at Lan Zhi, as if waiting for her to give a reaction. Lan Zhi had to say vaguely: "That's the case, I didn't know ...... at first"

Si Yang bowed: "There are many people like him. These people are really a danger to the holy one's ambition to unify Kyushu. ”

Lan Zhi thought for a while: "For example, the Central Plains fine work we caught a few days ago?" ”

Si Yang looked at her approvingly: "No mistake." That fine work is the small leader of the Central Plains anti-thieves planted in Haotian City, if he can let him loosen his mouth, he can find out a group of hidden thieves, and more importantly, ......" She paused for a moment: "All the activities of the Central Plains anti-thieves in Haotian City are under the command of the first leader. We have long wanted to bring that leader to justice, but the leader is so secretive that few people know who he is. But he had contact with the leader and knew who he was. ”

When Lan Zhi heard about this for the first time, she was a little shocked for a while. She thought that the Central Plains Kingdom had died, and under Yuyuan's iron cavalry, the Central Plains people were no longer able to restore the country, and everyone could only survive under bullying. Unexpectedly, there are many people like her, who miss the old world that has passed. These people are braver than her and more active than her, and they are already working hard to find the peace and beauty that have passed. These organized meticulous works in Haotian City are proof that the people of the Central Plains have never given in and are unwilling to give up.

It's just that...... What if they work so hard? Lan Zhi sighed secretly. It only took two years for Yu Yuan to plant his pennant in the imperial city of the Central Plains. With such a huge difference in strength, these people did their best, and it was not a moth to the fire that harmed their lives in vain.

Lan Zhi didn't dare to express what she thought in her heart. She still said calmly: "Lan Zhi is stupid, she doesn't understand these things, what does it have to do with Xiang Zheng's envoy asking me to come here." ”

Si Yang finally answered her question: "We tortured for four days, and the fine work finally couldn't stand it and was relieved. Xiang Zheng Envoy personally induced him to surrender and gave him many preferential treatments. But Na Xiaozuo added an article, he wanted to marry a Yuyuan woman. She glanced at Lan Zhi: "He wants to marry you." ”

Lan Zhi was shocked! She didn't understand why the Central Plains man proposed to marry her, but she didn't dare to go out of the pool in response, her steps stopped, and she refused without hesitation: "I won't marry." ”

Si Yang also stopped and turned around: "You are Lord Duan's woman, so naturally we won't really let you marry him." And that fine work just hated you for arresting him, so he wanted to marry you and humiliate you as a vent. But my Yuyuan's woman, my captain of Huweiwei, how can he let others abuse him at once?! After a while, you go into the torture chamber and pretend to coax him. ”

Lan Zhi smiled lightly: "As long as I pretend to coax him, he will confess?" She lowered her eyes: "Come to think of it, if this person is so easy to deal with, Xiang Zheng Envoy will not send someone to find me." ”

Si Yang's face remained unchanged: "He is now dying, and he can't do anything to you." You give him a taste of sweetness, and play with him and say something considerate......"

Lan Zhi interrupted her: "Si Qianhu, please forgive me for not acting on the spot. ”

Si Yang said in a deep voice: "Lan Zhi, I know you don't want to. You have just come to Huweiwei, and you can't accept such a thing. But since you are a soldier of my Yuyuan Kingdom, you should have already realized it. Not to mention just fame, body, but life, as long as the Holy God needs it, it must be decisively abandoned. Moreover, this is a command to the Righteous Envoy, so why should you embarrass me? ”

Lan Zhi hung her head and said no more. It is also useless to talk to Siyan. Obviously, this person is a lobbyist sent to Jinxiu, and now he is coaxing and coercing at the same time, so he wants to force her to obey orders.

Si Yang saw that she no longer argued, so he continued to move forward. She took Lan Zhi to the execution cell at the end of the prison and pushed the door open.

The torture chamber was poorly lit, and the smell of blood and rancid was strong. Lan Zhi took two steps, her eyes adjusting to the darkness and seeing things clearly. There were all kinds of torture instruments around, and there was a chair in the middle of the room, and a man was paralyzed on it, which was the same Zhongyuan Hosaku that she had captured with her own hands a few days ago. Xiang Jinxiu and several lieutenants stood aside. To Lan Zhi's surprise, Qiaoqiao was also there, but she was just huddled in the corner.

Hearing the sound, Xiang Jinxiu and the lieutenants all glanced towards the door, but the man did not react, just chattering and talking: "...... When the dragon raises its head, it is spring back. Every household had to lift up the mill and pray to the dragon king for rain. There are many literati in the capital, and they join in the excitement to hold the Qinglong Poetry Meeting on this day, and they make an appointment to play on the ridge outside the city. It's rare for a big girl and a little daughter-in-law to go out, that's lively......"

Lan Zhi's footsteps gradually slowed. She didn't know why men were talking about these things. There are only martial, barbaric, and brutal Yuyuan soldiers here, who do not understand the beautiful poetry of ordinary life, and only have the emperor whose ambitions are infinitely inflated in their hearts. I told them that the Qinglong Festival in the Central Plains was basically playing the piano to the cow.

But with the whispers of the Central Plains man, the familiar picture hidden in the bottom of her heart gradually appeared in front of Lan Zhi's eyes. She seemed to see the merry literati who insisted on shaking their fans in the cold of early spring, the girls who couldn't hide their shyness with their pink faces, and the enthusiastic folk songs sung by the villagers when they were farming......

Xiang Jinxiu interrupted her memories. He shouted loudly to Na Xiaozuo: "Hey, Central Plains people! Aren't you going to marry Yuyuan's daughter-in-law! I've got someone for you! ”

The man finally stopped, turned his head little by little, and looked at Lan Zhi.

Lan Zhi saw that the skin on the man's face and body was festering, and the flesh and blood were mixed together, which looked very terrifying. One can imagine how inhuman he was tortured during these four days.

The man's dark eyes froze on her face, but Mu Mu was stunned without the slightest emotion, and after a moment...... He actually withdrew his gaze and continued to mumble, "...... My daughter-in-law and I met on the day Long raised his head. She didn't like me at first, and she liked the kid from the Huo family who reads. Although I didn't have that kid who could recite poetry and write, I was good at kung fu, and I went to her house every day to help carry water and chop firewood...... Half a year later, she married me, hehe......"

Lan Zhi paused and listened silently. This incident should be the sweetest memory in this man's life, right? So much so that when this kind of environment is mentioned again, he can still laugh sincerely.

Xiang Jinxiu was a little impatient, and called: "Lan Zhi! Si Yang has already explained the matter to you, you go over, talk to him well. ”

He waved his hand, and the lieutenants made way for Lan Zhi. Lan Zhi walked in front of the Central Plains man, looked down at him and said, "I heard that you were going to marry me, so Xiang Zheng Envoy found me, which shows his sincerity." So, don't put it off, confess if you should confess. ”

After saying these fluttering words, she stood there fixedly, expressionless. Everyone waited for a long time, but they didn't see the following, and they were speechless. Xiang Jinxiu glared at Si Yang even more viciously: "That's it?!" That's how you taught her? ”

Si Yang hurriedly bowed down to plead guilty, but said, "Lord Xiang, there are some things...... It's not something that can be learned in a moment. ”

Xiang Jinxiu glanced at Lan Zhi with disgust, only to feel that she was not angry: "Ask him who the leader is!" ”

Lan Zhi let out a slow "oh" and said, "Who is the leader?" ”

The man finally raised his eyes and met Lan Zhi's gaze. He smirked twice: "Chief...... It's your brother......"
