Chapter 264: A Cunning Woman
The clouds are light and the moon is sparse, the mountain wind shakes the trees, and the broken courtyard is shattered.
The house was full of messes and murderous spirits.
The Liao soldiers knelt at the door with their heads down, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
Hu Yanhao stood in the house, surrounded by dead corpses, overturned charcoal basins, and burned cloth remnants, everything was splashed with water, and the ground was in shambles. His gaze swept over the objects one by one, stopping at a leather rope.
The leather rope lay quietly in the dirty puddle, the knot tied in its entirety, not cut, not even scratched—she had taken it straight from her wrist.
This rope is getting tighter and tighter, and the herdsmen on the grassland use it when they trap the wolf, even the wolf can't break free, and she can break free completely, he doesn't know what the magic is in this, he only knows that this woman has tricked him again!
She had the ability to untie the rope, and she must have already figured out how to escape, but it took time to escape under his nose, so she deliberately provoked him, because he would not see anything strange if she stole the rope while she was struggling.
Good! Very good!
Hu Yanhao smiled silently, like a ghost.
The mountain wind whimpered, the remnant courtyard was silent, and the sound of the long door came when it was already an hour of tea, and two Liao soldiers came hurriedly in the faint moonlight, and when they arrived outside the door, they knelt down and said: "Great Khan, we didn't find anyone, we only found these!" ”
The two of them held the things they found high above their heads, not daring to look at Hu Yanhao.
The pot of charcoal that the queen poured was not to burn the Great Khan, although the Great Sweat was flammable, but it was also quite thick, at the beginning of the fire, the Great Khan could have been relieved before the Great Sweat was burned through, but I did not expect that the spirits of Xiao Wang Sun poured to fuel the fire, and the fire was poured out when the Great Sweat was almost burned. The flesh of the sweaty back was burned a lot, and the injury was not light!
This time when he entered the mountain, the Great Khan did not bring a priest with him, but only followed ten royal warriors, and someone wanted to tie up Langzhong in the village, but he was killed by the Great Khan with a knife...... The Great Khan ordered people to chase Empress Daxing and Xiao Wangsun, but they could not determine which direction they fled, and only found a few things along the way.
Hu Yanhao walked to the door, grabbed the things offered by the two and looked at them, his eyes were cold.
It was the fabric of her clothes, as if it had been scraped off by a branch......
"Where did you find it?"
"Great Khan, at the foot of Cuiping Mountain and in the col!"
Hu Yanhao sneered, Cuiping Mountain is in the east, and the col is in the north, this cloth was not scraped off by a branch, but the cunning woman was in the old cloth! Here Yizhuang is east of Cuiping Mountain, west to Wujia Village, north to the mountain pass, south to Maishan, you can go on all sides, the woman is suspicious so that he can't guess where she will flee.
"Enter Cuiping Mountain!" Hu Yanhao sneered, but did not hesitate, "You don't have to search, return to the official road to ambush and bring her back to Ben Khan!" ”
She won't go into the village because she values human life and is worried about the lives of the villagers, so she won't go west. And when they came, they walked on Cuiping Mountain, although she was in the carriage, she must have felt that the carriage was walking on a mountain road, and there were mountain roads in Cuiping Mountain and Maishan, but he didn't need to guess where she would go, he just needed to know that she would find a way to return to Shengjing. She had a way to untie the rope, she could have waited until he was sleepy before leaving, but she couldn't even wait late at night, not because she was worried about Emperor Yuanlong, could there be other reasons?
He was bent on taking her back to the grassland, promising her the position of the queen of the Yan clan and the position of her heir, but he couldn't get her heart in exchange...... She really wanted to burn him tonight!
The mountain wind was whining, the moonlight was sparse, and the man stood at the door holding a rag, smiling silently, angry, and cold.
"Twilight! Don't let Ben Khan find you, or Ben Khan will peel you off! ”
*
Twilight is not in Cuiping Mountain, she is in Maishan.
The clear clouds half-covered the cold moon, and Twilight and Huyan Charlie took refuge behind a rock halfway up the mountain. The palm was in sharp pain, the mountain wind was cold, and Twilight sat down wrapped in a tattered robe, the moonlight sprinkled on his face, and his face was as white as frost and snow.
In order to be suspicious, she escaped from Yizhuang and came here in a big circle around her, and climbed halfway up the mountain in one go, she and Huyan Charlie were exhausted and urgently needed to rest.
"If he didn't chase him, could he have burned to death?" A childish voice came from beside him, and Twilight turned her head to look at Huyan Chariel, and saw him sitting with his knees crossed, his little face up, and his beautiful blue eyes had the innocence unique to children.
This child was born in a royal family, and his background is pitiful, so it is inevitable that he will be premature, indifferent and autistic. This is the first time Twilight has seen his innocent side, even though there is blood and carnage behind his innocent words.
"Have you ever heard a word?" Twilight asked, changing her concise and direct style.
Huyan Charlie frowned at the blade-like brow, his expression slightly impatient.
"As the saying goes, good people don't live long, and disasters last for a thousand years. ”
Huyan Chalie had not been learning Daxing for a long time, and Twilight Qing spoke quite slowly, paying attention to his expression as he spoke, seeing that he froze, knowing that he understood. She is not good at socializing with people, let alone children, but she was a psychologist in her previous life, and psychological intervention is her specialty.
The development of human temperament has a great relationship with childhood, such as herself, in her previous life, she was under the fence in her childhood, and studied alone in another country as an adult. And Daxing is a lowly person, the neighbors are afraid of getting into bad luck, avoid her like a ghost in the underworld, and the only person who depends on her is her father, and her temperament has always been like this.
Fortunately, she is a psychologist and knows the root of her temperament, so she has never blamed others, but Hu Yan Charlie is different. The blood feud that the Di royal clan destroyed overnight was enough to leave an eternal wound in his young heart, and she didn't want him to be the next Hu Yanhao, so she replied to him in a roundabout way, intending to imply that there are too many injustices in the world, not all the wicked can be punished, and there are many people who suffer because justice is difficult to reach, and it is not only his life that is the most painful and difficult - he is not the loneliest unlucky guy, and his pain is not incomprehensible.
"He has martial arts, and he is guarded by the royal army, and it is not easy for that fire to burn him." Twilight continued.
Huyan Charlie had a precocious mind, and if he was fooled and deceived as a child, not only would he not be comforted, but would make him disgusted, and he would not tell him the truth, respecting his intelligence and independent personality, so that he could let down his guard and open his heart.
"I want to kill him, too, but the time is not ripe tonight. It is inconvenient for my hands to be tied, and it is difficult for me to fight against ten, so I can only retreat and seek to escape first. Originally, I just wanted to hurt Hu Yanhao and escape while the guards were busy rescuing and being distracted, but I didn't expect you to make a move, but I was relieved. Twilight smiled faintly, for his age, he was already very alert, he didn't do nothing, at least he hurt Hu Yanhao.
Huyan Chalie's small figure shrunk under the rocks looked helpless and guarded, he hugged his knees, buried his head, the child's voice trembled low like a whimpering mountain wind, listening to it distressed, "He is not dead......
"But at least it hurts worse than that." Twilight unconsciously softened her tone, and spread her palms along the way, the frost-white moonlight shone on the white palms, the blisters were as fat as silkworms, and the whiteness was touching, and the blisters on the fingertips were scratched when they picked up the armnails, and the injuries from the broken skin of the fingers looked shocking.
Huyan Charlie was stunned, his blue eyes full of incomprehensible emotions.
After many years, he knew that she did not smile often, and the smile of this night was as precious as a pearl in his memory, whenever he remembered this night, he could always think of the mountain wind, the moon hung on the branches, the girl sat behind the mountain rocks, her clothes were torn, and her palms were wounded, and a light smile on her lips was like a pearl, and the light of Xi seemed to be able to illuminate the thorny mountains and forests, and she saw the distant mountains and mountains, and the clouds were thousands of miles.
It has been two years since the fall of the royal family, and the three-year-old child has grown to five years old, and the appearance of Daddy and Grandma has become blurred in the memory, and the only thing that is indelible is the blood and killing of that night and the situation of these two years.
Perhaps this smile was too soft, or perhaps it was too long and too tired to be armed, the child's deep heart-sealed longing was aroused, and he rarely let down his guard for a while and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”
"It hurts." Twilight didn't like to lie, so she told the truth, but the child's concern warmed her heart, and she couldn't help but say comfort, "Pain is not necessarily a bad thing, if I can't feel pain, it must hurt the nerve tissue." The most feared thing about burns is the appearance of redness, swelling, blisters, peeling or whitishness on the skin, but there is no pain, because it is likely to have injured the muscles and bones, and the necrosis and ulceration of deep tissues are fatal. I was very lucky, although the charcoal basin was hot, but I had not been in contact with it for a long time, and it had not yet hurt the deep dermis, but only a blister-type burn, and I could find a scald cream to deal with it. Thanks to you, Hu Yanhao is probably not as lucky as me, and burns are not very easy to treat. ”
Huyan Charee: "......"
Twilight: "...... Cough! ”
Looking at Xiao Huyan Charlie with an incomprehensible stunned expression, Twilight coughed embarrassedly, she was really not good at coaxing people! For most of the past, she had seen perverted criminals, and had never worked as a psychological counselor, so treating psychological trauma was really not her specialty.
"I haven't thanked you for saving me, and for helping me." Twilight Qing said, she actually wanted Huyan Charlie to know that in life besides revenge, he can do a lot of things.
"I helped you?" Huyan Charlie really cared about this.
"You've done me a great favor." This is true, Twilight Qing glanced at the feet of her robe that was torn by herself, "If it weren't for your pouring of alcohol to fuel the fire and delay the time for the Liao soldiers to chase after me, I wouldn't have had time to be suspicious on the road." Hu Yanhao must have thought that I wanted him not to guess where we were fleeing, but in fact, what I left behind was not for him at all. ”
Huyan Charlie understood this, but he didn't understand the deep meaning.
Those things are not reserved for Hu Yanhao, so who will they be left to?
