058 Meet Qin Yan again
Here, Yingluo rode to Zhuangzi, and half an hour after Yingluo and the others left, Su Yingzhen in the carriage woke up.
She was awakened by the cold, only to feel that her whole body was soaked in frost, her whole body was stiff and cold into a ball of ice ballast, she woke up slowly, she didn't know where she was for half a sound, and when she moved, there was a heart-rending itching sensation on her arms and ankles, followed by pain.
The whole person was numb, and there was a fishy smell between the wings of her nose, Su Yingzhen looked around in panic, and she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
The dilapidated and dirty carriage, the squeaky and shaky broken doors blown by the night wind, the unobstructed dark night outside the carriage, and the hideous night scene in the distance seemed to be a beast that was about to devour people, which made Su Yingzhen tremble.
Her head hurt, and she tried to scream but it seemed to get stuck in her throat, and it was difficult to scream for a while. She was so scared that tears and snot poured out of her fear, and she tried to remember, and finally remembered the scene before she fainted.
She was already about to fall asleep in the soft quilt, when suddenly there was a movement, and she picked up a note, on which was clearly the handwriting of the fourth sister Su Yinglan.
The fourth sister said that she would invite her to watch a good show, a good show about Su Yingluo,
also said that this scene will make Su Yingluo disappear completely in front of her eyes.
The fourth sister also emphasized on the note, saying that this scene was arranged by her mother and second sister, and since her mother and second sister did not sue her, there must be a reason. Let her not alarm the maid, and secretly go out to the back garden by herself, otherwise she won't be able to watch this good show.
The fourth sister will be waiting for her in the back garden.
Su Yingzhen had already discovered what her second sister and mother were planning in the past few days, but they carried themselves behind their backs every time they spoke, and sent her away, mysteriously Su Yingzhen was depressed and helpless and curious, when she saw the note, she sneaked out excitedly without thinking about it.
She thought that she must have been angry with Su Yinglan when she left the house, and sent Su Yinglan in public, Su Yinglan wanted to please herself, so she invited herself to watch a good show.
She secretly looked for Su Yinglan in the back garden all the way with excitement, but Su Yinglan didn't appear, but she was suddenly knocked on the back of the neck and fainted.
Now her hands and legs are tied, she is no longer in the Zhuangzi, where is this, who kidnapped her, she is a boudoir lady, and now she has been taken to this wilderness, what are they going to do to her, even if she doesn't do anything, her reputation is over, her life is over.
Su Yingzhen was frightened and desperate, and it took a long time for her body to suddenly shake and scream.
"Someone! Come, please let me go, come, come, is there anyone! ”
Her mournful scream did not call the passers-by, but woke up the stuttering man, the stuttering man remembered that he was dragged off the carriage by the lasso and knocked unconscious, and when he got up, he hurriedly got up and ran to the tall man's side, pushed him hard, and said, "Big brother, big brother, wake up!" ”
The tall man was also slashed by Yingluo, and he lost too much blood on his hands, so he didn't wake up for a long time, and now he was pushed and pinched, and he woke up slowly, his eyes widened, and he said with a pale face: "What's the matter?" ”
The stuttering man shook his head, and he heard Su Yingzhen's screams coming from the carriage.
"Who? Who's outside the car! ”
She lay in the carriage with her hands and feet tied, and she was so frightened that she could not sit up at all, nor could she see the scene outside the carriage, and at this moment when she heard the man's voice, she instinctively felt the danger, and her voice was full of tremors.
The tall man and the stuttering man glanced at each other, got up and went to the carriage, pushed open the half-hidden carriage door, and saw that there was only a completely strange girl left in the carriage, and the two they had taken before were gone, and the two were stunned, both of them were stunned, and they couldn't understand what was going on.
"Ahh Go away! Go away, who are you! However, Su Yingzhen saw two shabby-dressed men with fierce faces suddenly appear outside the carriage, and they screamed and rolled into the carriage.
The tall man and the stuttering man were full of fear and puzzlement at the moment, hearing Su Yingzhen yelling, the tall man reached out and grabbed Su Yingzhen's shirt, dragged Su Yingzhen over, and slapped her face with his upper hand left and right, and said viciously: "Shut up!" Dare to tell Lao Tzu to fucking chop you again! ”
Su Yingzhen's eyes were full of gold stars, her cheeks were red and swollen, her teeth were loose, where was she screaming, tears rolled out, and it was not an exaggeration to feel that she had fallen into purgatory.
The tall man saw that she was more honest, so he pulled her by the neck and said, "Who are you, who threw you into the carriage?" What about the two women from before? Say! ”
Su Yingzhen trembled, dizzy, in the end, she was only a little girl of twelve or thirteen, and she was raised by the Song family, she had never experienced anything, she was crying and speechless at the moment, and only said vigorously: "Mother, mother...... I want to go home. ”
The tall man and the stuttering man are all outlaws who lick blood from the knife edge, and if they are not careful, they will not think about it, today something went wrong, their hearts are full of fear, where is there still the patience to listen to Su Yingzhen crying and wailing.
The stuttering man dragged Su Yingzhen and tore her shirt to shreds, instantly revealing the delicate embroidered belly pocket inside, his dirty hands kneaded Su Yingzhen indiscriminately, and said viciously: "Cry!" Crying again, brother and sister, I'll do you now, I can't live when I see it, and I have to have a love affair before I die! ”
The tall man's eyes stared at Su Yingzhen's belly pocket that was barely hanging on his body, and he looked at it twice, pushed the man to eat and strangled Su Yingzhen's neck again, and said, "Lao Tzu asks again, who are you?" Why is it here! Speak! ”
Su Yingzhen was almost naked by the man, pinched and touched by the man, sobbing at the moment, her brain was sober, and she didn't dare to cry anymore, so she said tremblingly: "I am...... is the daughter of Su Dingwen, the prefect of Suizhou, you ...... If you arrest me, my father won't let you go! Send me back! ”
The tall man's face changed sharply when he heard this, they were most afraid of the government when they did this business of stealing people and traffickers, and they were even afraid of a government official on weekdays, not to mention that the Suizhou prefect was simply a big official in their eyes.
For a while, even the stuttering man trembled, and slapped Su Yingzhen twice, and said angrily: "Slut, who are you scaring about, the daughter of the official master, how could he get here!" ”
Su Yingzhen said that she was also beaten, not to mention that she was also beaten, and the whole person wanted to die like this, she shrunk into a ball, choked and said: "I didn't lie, please let me go back, my father will reward you." I have a lot of precious jewelry, and I will give it to you! ”
Su Yingzhen's expression and words were not fake at all, and the tall man's face suddenly turned pale.
He can do the business of stealing human traffickers, he is not a stupid person, at this moment he recalled the events of today's events one by one, and then thought about the intrigue between the daughters of the big families that people said on weekdays, and the dirty things, and suddenly realized a little.
At that moment, he threw Su Yingzhen into the carriage, sat on the carriage with the wheel, and said to the stuttering man: "I'm afraid that what she said is true, let's go away this time, no matter how she got here, we have to leave quickly, and the third child will quickly escape by boat." ”
The stuttering man also knew the severity of the matter, so he wanted to get into the car, but at this time, a deafening sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded on the official road in the distance.
The sound of horses' hooves is like rolling thunder in the sky, with a solemn atmosphere, it is clearly not one or two horses, but a team of horses, the sound of horses' hooves seems to crush this deep and changeable night, looking at it, the distance has risen from the sky, and a cavalry of iron waves rushed towards this side between the rolling dust. In the moonlight, the armor on the cavalry's body flashed in the dust of the whirlpool.
The stuttering man and the tall man were all stunned, trembling in horror, thinking that the government had sent someone to take the two of them, and their eyes were black for a while, and they felt that they were going to die here, and they didn't even dare to move. I didn't expect that even if the person in the car was the daughter of the prefect, the prefect would be able to mobilize the officials of the government at most, and the people in front of him were clearly the army, so how could it be that they came to arrest them.
Besides, the concubines of the official eunuchs are gone, and it is too late to cover up, so how can they look for them with such fanfare.
The cavalry rushed in front of them in an instant, and the two traffickers were motionless in panic, and the carriage came to a halt in the middle of the road.
The cavalry did not slow down in the slightest, and the first horse was a tall horse with a black and shiny body, but the bridge of the horse's long nose had a tuft of snow-white mane, and its hooves were dyed with snow, and it galloped like stepping on the clouds.
The man on horseback was also dressed in military uniform, the silver-white armor emitted a cold and shimmering light under the moonlight, the armor made his already tall body look more heroic and solemn, he did not wear a helmet on his face, but covered with a mask, under the mask revealed a sharp arc of the tight chin, but the skin white was like a cold jade carving.
Behind him was a Xuanjin cloak, the cloak was flying with red python patterns, as he galloped past, the cloak flew, and a man and a horse were like a god descending, but it was Qin Yan, the son of King Jing.
He rode at a gallop, far ahead, and passed by the carriage without pausing, and flew past it like a gust of wind. The next group of ironclad soldiers was automatically divided into two teams, and two sharp arrows whistled past the left and right of the carriage.
In the middle of the ranks of the ironclad soldiers, there were two large carriages, because the trafficker's carriage stopped in the middle of the road, and was immediately blocked from the way, two sergeants quickly stopped in front of the trafficker's carriage, and did not say much, and even more as if they had not seen the girl tied up in the car, they pulled the reins and drove the carriage to the side of the road to make way for the road.
The two traffickers were like stupid, just sitting and shivering, and the carriage moved to the side of the road, but Su Yingzhen suddenly woke up in the car, shouted, and said, "Help me!" I am the daughter of a good man, I was taken captive by gangsters, you save me, I beg you! ”
The girl's voice was poignant and sharp, trembling and ringing in the night, and it was heard far away, even though the girl's words were tragic and moving, but the two sergeants only moved for a moment, and then they regained their indifference, and there was no sound around them.
This is clearly a disciplined and forbidden army, and without the orders of the generals, the sergeants will not meddle at all.
Seeing that they were indifferent, Su Yingzhen suddenly collapsed in despair, and no longer considered what reputation or what to cover up, and shouted loudly, "I am the daughter of the official family, and my father is Su Dingwen, the prefect of Suizhou, you can't ignore me!" ”
Miss Guanjia, the daughter of the prefect of Suizhou was taken captive, which was indeed surprising, but those sergeants still didn't pay much attention to Su Yingzhen, Su Yingzhen suddenly had a colorless face, her eyes were dim, and the hope on her face disappeared completely.
But she didn't know that as soon as her sentence Su Dingwen, the prefect of Suizhou, was issued, Qin Yan, who had galloped nearly a hundred zhang in front of him, suddenly lifted the reins of the horse, and the horse neighed, and stopped moving forward.
He stopped abruptly, and the sergeant who followed closely behind him also responded quickly, and Qi Qi lifted the reins and stopped his horse, and the night with the long neighing of dozens of horses seemed to be torn apart, and a murderous aura floated.
Qin Yan turned the horse's head and rode towards the carriage, and the two teams of sergeants also followed the horse to defend the left and right, the sound of hooves splashed, and the carriage was surrounded in an instant.
Su Yingzhen looked up with tears and snot on her face, and looked up hazy with teary eyes, and saw the horse raising its hooves, neighing and roaring, before stopping the car, the man was tall and handsome, and his body hidden under the armor seemed to be full of strength, with the bright moon on his head, his eyes were deep and cold through the mask, like a god, which was fearful and admirable.
Su Yingzhen was stunned, Qin Yan glanced at her, and seeing that she was not clothed, he immediately turned his gaze away and said, "Su Dingwen's daughter-in-law? ”
His voice was low and swept through the night, shaking his heart, Su Yingzhen came to a trance after half a sound, and nodded his head in response: "Yes, I am, this general ......"
Before she finished speaking, Qin Yan had already turned the horse's head, leaving only one sentence and galloping away again.
"Knock them all out and take them away."
The sound of the horse's hooves was far away, and before Su Yingzhen could react, she had been knocked unconscious again by a sergeant with a hand knife, and her body was dragged out of the carriage by a cloak and thrown headfirst on the horse's back.
The two traffickers didn't even have a chance to struggle, and they were knocked unconscious and thrown on horseback, and the carriage was directly overturned on the roadside field, and the cavalry team galloped in the dust again, roaring away in the direction of Suizhou City.
On the fourth watch, Qin Yan led the people to encounter a wide carriage on the official road, and the carriage quickly moved to the side of the road to give way, and when a team of cavalry galloped past, Sui Xicai slowly drove the carriage into the middle of the road, and slightly turned his head to the middle of the car and said: "Young master, in the middle of the team of sergeants, two horses immediately threw two men who did not know life and death and a girl with disheveled hair, looking like the two people we met lying in the road before. ”
At that time, Yingluo had just said goodbye and left, but only two moments of effort, Chi Jingyi in the carriage was looking at the few accounts that Yingluo had sorted out without mistakes and omissions, and when he heard this, his fingers turning the page paused slightly, and then said, "Got it." ”
Sui Xi didn't say anything more, and drove the carriage in the direction of Suizhou City.
When the sky was slightly bright, Qin Yan and his entourage were close to the city gate, and a sentry scout galloped from the opposite side, and said: "General, it has been investigated clearly, King Cheng has set fire to the village on the third watch tonight, and now the fire has started." ”
The sentry's words made Qin Yan squint his eyes slightly, and he only said lightly: "Lead the way." ”
The sentry scout hurriedly turned his horse's head, and the group headed towards the southeast of Suizhou City.
King Cheng is the third son of the emperor, and he is now the descendant of the queen of the main palace, and he was crowned king at the age of twenty-four, and now he is close to the age of standing. He concentrated the people with slight symptoms in a small village in the southeast of Suizhou City, and only said that they could be gathered so that the imperial court could send imperial doctors to treat the people, and also control the spread of the epidemic.
After the people settled in the village, there were indeed doctors sent by the government every day to deliver medicine, they believed it was true, but they didn't want to be on the third watch tonight, suddenly the village was on fire, the fire was monstrous, the flames were rolling, the people fled out in a panic, but the two ends of the village seemed to be surrounded by the officers and soldiers, the high fence of the fire blocked the way to escape, even if the flames rolled out of the fence, the sharp arrows of the officers and soldiers would shoot through the throat.
Only then did the people realize that the government had no intention of treating them at all, but just surrounded and killed them by deception.
When Qin Yan rushed in with his people, the sky in the distance had already revealed the white of the fish's belly, and the monstrous flames were rolling wolf smoke and rushing upward, covering half of the pale gray sky, and there were screams for help everywhere, like purgatory on earth.
Outside the village, the officers and soldiers stood tall, on a high platform, Cheng Wang Ye Yuhu stood condescendingly, looking indifferently at the monstrous flames sweeping the village little by little, hearing the deafening sound of horses' hooves, he suddenly turned around to look, did not see who was coming, then saw the snow riding black horse in the lead, suddenly his pupils shrank, and his eyebrows frowned tightly.
As the Qin messenger for disaster relief, the Qin Cha honor guard brought by King Cheng also followed the side, and when he saw the murderous army galloping in the distance, a person who looked like a general shouted, "Protect the prince!" ”
Only then did the guard of honor and the personal guard of King Cheng swarm and defend the high platform. And it was dusty over there, Qin Yan had already led people to the open space in front of the high platform, he sat on his horse, staring at King Cheng who was standing with his hands on the stage.
The two looked at each other, and there was clearly a cold and sharp fire splashing in all directions, attracting officials of all sizes around them, and the soldiers and servants did not dare to speak out.
King Cheng clenched his hands tightly at his side, smiled suddenly, and said in a strange manner: "Qin Yan, are you in the capital to wait for your father to reward you, what are you doing in this Suizhou?" Go out with troops without permission, this king sees that you didn't have enough of the court staff last time. Don't think that with the love and maintenance of the Queen Mother, you can be proud of your achievements and not abide by the rules of the court! ”
The corners of Qin Yanxian's sharp lips were slightly raised, as if he was smiling, but he said in a cold voice: "His Royal Highness King Cheng doesn't think that with the protection of the queen, he can take care of people's lives and do whatever he wants!" ”
King Cheng Deng's fists burst out, and he said angrily: "Qin Yan, what do you mean by this? This king was ordered to come to the disaster relief, and the father and the emperor had already made a holy decree to allow the king to have full authority over all important disaster relief matters, but he had the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot! This king set fire to the village, but it was just an expedient measure, and the bottom of the kettle was drawn to cut off the epidemic from the roots, how could he have taken people's lives lightly?! If you talk nonsense again, don't blame the king for interfering with you, blocking disaster relief, and overstepping your authority! ”
Compared with King Cheng's anger, Qin Yan still had a cold face, and only replied in a clear voice: "Whether it is an expedient measure, or a careless disregard for human life, His Royal Highness King Cheng should go back to Beijing to tell the emperor, Ben Jiang really has no right to judge." ”
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and waved his hand: "Push open the fire fence for Ben, let the people out of the village, and extinguish the fire and save people!" ”
At the sound of the order, the sergeants dismounted and rushed to the village, waving their spears, and in an instant they provoked the fire fence that surrounded the entrance of the village, and the two burning men rolled out, and immediately a sergeant stepped forward to put down the flames, and helped the people who rushed out to the side to settle down, and a team of sergeants went to look for a well to extinguish the fire.
The people in the village who fled for their lives saw that there was life here, and they rushed over.
Ye Yuhu saw Qin Yan rushing with his troops and knew that something was wrong, Qin Yan was the brother-in-law of the abolished prince, and the abolished prince was questioned and exiled, and Ye Yuhu contributed a lot. The prince competed for the throne, although the abolished prince was defeated, but the Jingwang Mansion was completely fine, Qin Yan and the abolished prince had a deep relationship, and it was not a day or two since King Yu Cheng had a bad relationship.
Appearing here at this moment, it must be to prevent him from burning the village, so King Cheng came up and was aggressive, clearly acting on the orders of the emperor, but he didn't expect this, Qin Yan still said that he would do it, and seeing that the villagers were about to rush out in an instant, King Cheng's face changed rapidly, and he shouted loudly, "What are you doing in a daze, stop them for this king!" Tell the sick people to rush out, smallpox is raging, and this king will cut off your head and ask for guilt! ”
His voice fell, and the Qin sent the guards, the royal palace guards and the official soldiers to rush forward, and suddenly the swords rang out, the cold light splashed everywhere, and the two people instantly exchanged fire, and the swords were tense, and no one let them.
Ye Yuhu also hurriedly rushed down from the high platform, scolded Qin Yan angrily, and said, "Stop Qin Cha, Qin Yan, are you going to rebel?!" ”
Qin Yan was still on his horse, but when he heard this, he smiled faintly, and said: "The people of the Fish and Meat Emperor, I am afraid that the one who is going to rebel is His Royal Highness King Cheng, right?" ”
Ye Yuhu suddenly became angry, his eyes became more and more scarlet and violent with the firelight, he drew his sword and stabbed at Qin Yan, and said: "The Qincha sword can be cut first and then played, today this king will finish you first, let you be arrogant, and there is no one in your eyes!" I want to see if my father will punish this king, and if the queen mother can still protect you! ”
Ye Yuhu's sword edge stabbed closer, Qin Yan slowly jumped up from the horse, his figure spun in the air, and then he fought with Ye Yuhu with his bare hands.
Ye Yuhu is the queen, as the emperor's concubine, he thinks very highly of himself, he is very happy, eager for quick success, this time he burned the sick people is afraid of the spread of the disease, which affected his disaster relief achievements. Thinking that the emperor is far away, as long as he exterminates the epidemic, the emperor can only praise him for his meritorious work in disaster relief and make a bold choice.
Anyway, as long as the sick people are burned, it will be a hundred, and there is no proof of death, and the infected victims are burned to death and buried, which is also a normal thing. King Cheng has such an attitude, and under the great joy, he would rather make a mistake than let go of one.
He also knew in his heart that many people in the village were only afraid of smallpox, and if Qin Yan was asked to stop the fire at this moment, rescue the sick people, and then bring the people who were not infected with smallpox into the capital to complain to him, the overall situation would be extremely unfavorable to him, which is conceivable.
Therefore, King Cheng was ruthless with his sword, he really wanted to use the Qincha sword to kill Qin Yan, but although his kung fu was good among the princes, it was not as good as Qin Yan, who had been in the military camp for many years and was like a murderer, but in a moment, his hand holding the sword was kicked by Qin Yan.
Ye Yuhu exclaimed, his soft hand sword fell, the sword light flashed in front of him, King Cheng staggered back a few steps in surprise before he could stand firmly, and looked, but saw that the imperial sword was already in Qin Yan's hand, he sat on his horse, looked at himself coldly, and his eyes reflected the sword light, becoming more and more cold as ice.
Ye Yuhu was furious, pushed away the official who was supporting him, and said hatefully: "What a prince of Jing, you dare to do something to this king!" The king's disobedience to the Jingwang Mansion is clearly revealed! ”
Qin Yan turned the hilt of the sword, gently stroked the cold blade with one hand, and said slowly: "The general only knows that he will seal the sword of Shang Fang first, and punish the traitor and stolen goods according to the law, and only know that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people." The emperor has given the general to cure the epidemic and stop the epidemic, and from this moment on, these sick people are the responsibility of the general, so he will not bother the king. As for whether King Cheng was arbitrary and executed expedient measures to burn down the village in order to prevent the disaster, or did he act recklessly and careless of human life, the general would still be the same sentence, the emperor has his own holy decision! ”
Qin Yan said, the sword in his hand suddenly flashed with cold light, and the flying star streamer shot out, accompanied by a miserable scream, the commander of King Cheng's guards, who was surrounding the village in front of him to block the firefighting, fell down in response, and a cold sword on the door of his head was still trembling in the firelight.
The wind was silent, and there was a dead silence all around, as if even the screams and shouts in the village were far away for a moment.
Qin Yan's eyes swept around, and he snorted, and said, "This general will act on orders, and the violator will be the same as this person!" Extinguish the fire, save the life! ”
The sergeants moved again, but King Cheng's men stood stiff, not knowing where to go for a while, showing that they had been intimidated and did not dare to move again.
Ye Yuhu bared his teeth and stared at Qin Yan immediately, and said with a heavy breath: "Qin Yan, you are pretending to pass on the holy decree!" You went to western Sichuan to suppress bandits, and you didn't even enter the gate of the capital, where did you come from to be ordered to treat the epidemic and stop the epidemic?! If your father had ordered you to cure the plague, you would have recalled this king, and how could this king have ever received the decree of return? ”
Qin Yan only said coldly: "His Royal Highness King Cheng will naturally see the holy decree when he goes back to Qincha, why bother to do more theories here." Or is His Royal Highness King Cheng especially unrelenting, thinking that he can stop the general's ironclad sergeant with a few guards? ”
Ye Yuhu knew very well that the shape could not be reversed, and when he heard Qin Yan's words, his chest suddenly rose and fell, and he finally closed his eyes fiercely, flicked his sleeves, and led people away angrily.
The sergeants didn't pay attention to this, they were only busy rescuing people and relocating people, and then more than a dozen doctor-like people were helped down in the two carriages, carrying medicine boxes, and they didn't have time to relieve the fatigue and fright of being caught and galloping all the way, so they were pushed forward by the sergeant to save people and treat the sick, and they were busy.
