Chapter 134: Whistleblowing is despicable
The afterglow of the setting sun shone down from the sky, reflecting the hospitable people of the Rota tribe. Everyone was wearing colorful robes, and they continued to burst into laughter, and the happy feelings infected Qin Xingyi, which made her depressed mood relax a little.
The tribal patriarch walked out of the tent, was surrounded by everyone, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" Are you more anxious than your own patriarch? It's not easy to save people, the patriarch has a busy day, and no one brings me a cup of milk tea to quench my thirst? ”
The clansmen also laughed along, and when they heard the patriarch's tone, they knew that the healing was quite smooth, so they pulled the team leader over and sat together.
Qin Xingyi hurriedly picked up a cup of milk tea, walked over and squeezed to the patriarch to sit down, offered milk tea, and said, "The patriarch is hard, please drink milk tea." ”
Seeing Qin Xingyi looking at him with a pair of wonderful eyes, the patriarch seemed to have a lot of questions to ask, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Girl, you must be in a hurry?" The patriarch did his best to save my son! His life has been saved! At least now I can breathe smoothly, sleep peacefully, and slowly heal from my injuries. ”
Qin Xingyi nodded in thanks and asked when the patriarch would be able to use the secret technique to help Xuanyuan Mingyu recover his memory.
The patriarch smiled: "That's not urgent, let him recuperate for a few more days." After he recovers from his illness, the patriarch must first determine the father-son relationship between us, so that the elders of the clan can have something to rely on. ”
Qin Xingyi pursed her lips and smiled, feeling that the patriarch was whimsical, he would bring Xuanyuan Mingyu back to the Western Qin Kingdom, and what the patriarch said was just a fool's dream.
The two were talking, when they suddenly saw a clansman hurriedly walking, standing beside the patriarch in shock, and said, "Patriarch, I just came back from the border city of Puwang, and something happened there. ”
"Hurry up, what's going on?" The patriarch was very concerned about what was happening in the nearby border city, for fear that something would be involved.
"Patriarch, there was a fierce battle in the grove of Puwang Border City at noon today, on one side was a team of officers and soldiers led by the county magistrate, and on the other side was a group of subordinates of the three princes of the Xuanyuan Dynasty." The clansman said.
"What do you say? What happened? Qin Xingyi suddenly stood up and blurted out a surprise.
"I heard that there were many dead and wounded on both sides, and then the three princes were outnumbered and retreated in the opposite direction. Prince Sumeng was furious, swore revenge, and had already led people to hunt him down! After the county magistrate returned to the city, he immediately issued a pursuit warrant and offered a reward of 3,000 taels of silver for the arrest of the three princes. "The clansman reported in detail.
The other middle-aged clansman standing next to him was a greedy ghost, and when he heard the heavy reward, he was moved by his heart, squeezed in sideways, with a greedy light in his eyes, and said: "Patriarch, if we can get the three thousand taels of silver, we don't have to worry about spending the winter this year, we can prepare a lot of hay, milk tea bricks, dried meat and butcher shops in advance, and buy a lot of cattle, sheep, horses, tents, felt, and salt and ......."
The patriarch stretched out his hand to stop it, and said solemnly: "Stop, don't talk about it!" We can't do this kind of betrayal. ”
The middle-aged clansman disagreed, and defended: "We are from Tanjiang Country, and we should help the county government to catch fugitives from neighboring countries, and we can be at ease with the reward." ”
"Nonsense! Whistleblowers are the meanest! Qin Xingyi scolded at the same time, turned around and ran to the tent, blocked the door with his body, and said, "Miss Ben is here, see which of you dares to catch him and receive the reward!" ”
Xu Xiaodi saw that there was going to be a mess, so he hurriedly ran to Qin Xingyi's side and shouted, "Little Xingxing, I'm also on your side!" ”
Qin Xingyi saw that although Xiaodi was young, he always helped him at critical moments, and couldn't help but be moved, he valued him even more, touched his head and said, "Okay, Xiaodi has courage." ”
"Dad, come here!" Xiaodi was very proud when she heard Qin Xingyi's praise, and hurriedly asked her father to come over to help.
Blacksmith Xu was calm, although he heard his son's call, but seeing that things had not yet developed to the point of being out of control, he was unwilling to make the situation stiff, and said to Mu Shuo: "You go and persuade the patriarch, doesn't the patriarch still want to accept you and Xuanyuan Gongzi as righteous sons?" How can a father betray his son to receive a reward? ”
Mu Shuo sat on the side and was in a hurry, and at this moment, he got the hint of Blacksmith Xu, and he had an idea in his heart, and ran over and said a lot to the patriarch, which really worked.
The patriarch was persuaded by Mu Shuo, and turned to the middle-aged clansman to explain, is the patriarch's righteous son not worth three thousand taels of silver?
The middle-aged team leader was not convinced, and cleverly argued that fortunately they had not recognized the righteous father and son! A criminal who is wanted by the government has a bad reputation, how can he get married to the patriarch and ruin the reputation of the Rota tribe?
The tribal patriarch has a shortcoming, that is, his ears are soft, and what others say makes sense, as if the grass on the wall falls with the wind, and he actually nods in agreement at this moment.
Although Mu Shuo is the first warrior of the grassland, he has the courage and no strategy, and seeing that the patriarch has no idea, he has to ask Blacksmith Xu what to do?
Blacksmith Xu was in danger, and said to Mu Shuojian: "Mu Zhuangshi, the first time Prince Xuanyuan came to the tribe was brought by you, and you and he almost became sworn brothers, so you have the responsibility to send him out of the tribe safely." ”
"Yes, I'll go and put you in a carriage and see you off." Mu Shuo agreed, and hurriedly went to prepare the carriage, as well as a bag of water and dry food.
The tribal patriarch did not stop him, and watched Xu Blacksmith and Mu Shuo carry Xuanyuan Mingyu into the carriage, thinking that it would be good, so as not to cause countless troubles because of three thousand taels of silver.
Qin Xingyi pulled the little flute and walked to the carriage, and when he passed by the patriarch, he glanced back, that is, he was grateful to him for healing Xuanyuan Mingyu, and he was annoyed that he actually agreed to the clansmen to receive the reward regardless of whether he was indiscriminate.
The middle-aged clansman jumped to his feet and shouted, "Patriarch, just let them go?" Don't you want to give up the three thousand taels of silver for white flowers? ”
"Be quiet! If our Rota tribe can't offend the county government's office, can we offend the Xuanyuan Dynasty? "The tribal patriarch has a clear mind, and he will understand the calculation of interests.
"Patriarch, I'll send them on their way." Mu Shuo and Xu Blacksmith sat side by side on the rush seat in front of the car, watched Qin Xingyi pull the little flute into the carriage, and said goodbye.
"Xiao Mu, you have to come back early, the Rota tribe can't do without you!" The patriarch's advice is from the bottom of his heart.
The carriage drove out of the Rota tribe without anyone stopping it.
In the carriage, Xiaodi and Qin Xingyi sat side by side on one side, watching Xuanyuan Mingyu sitting opposite leaning against the corner of the carriage wall, playfully reaching out and pulling the strands of black hair scattered from Xuanyuan Mingyu's sideburns, and asked, "Why is the little brother still not awake?" I want to talk to him. ”
"Little flute, tap it, let Mingyu sleep well."
"I don't! If he sleeps all the time, won't he become a wooden man? Xiao Di didn't want Xuanyuan Mingyu to become a wooden man, so he stretched out his hands and shook Xuanyuan Mingyu's body, shouting: "Little brother, wake up, open your eyes and see who I am?" ”
At this time, it happened that a stone on the road put the wheel of the carriage on rest, the carriage jolted violently, and the little flute was shaking Xuanyuan Mingyu, and when he saw his head hit the wall of the carriage, he exclaimed: "Eh! ”
Qin Xingyi couldn't bear to see Xuanyuan Mingyu hurt again, so she hurriedly hugged his body and said to Xiaodi: "Don't hurt him!" I can't let him get hurt anymore. ”
"I'm sorry, little brother, I didn't mean to hurt you." Xiaodi hurriedly let go, and said apologetically, while her eyes turned into tears and she was about to cry, when she suddenly heard a low and hoarse voice ringing in her ears: "It's okay...... Little Flute Hero......"
"Ah, little brother, are you awake?" Little Flute shouted with joy.
With the cry of the little flute, Qin Xingyi's fingers trembled with excitement, let go of Xuanyuan Mingyu's shoulders, held her face with both hands and wanted to cry, and said affectionately: "You finally woke up!" I'm going to die. ”
"Yes, little brother, you don't know, Little Star almost fought with the tribesmen just now for you." Flute interjected with a grin.
Xuanyuan Mingyu felt that he had slept for a long time, and the bones of his whole body were about to fall apart, he coughed lightly, slowly stretched out his hand, and held Qin Xingyi and Xiaodi's hands one by one, his eyes were full of gratitude.
Xuanyuan Mingyu's body swayed with the carriage, not knowing where the carriage was going to take him? He didn't want to ask, even if he knew this, it was useless, he had been in a coma a lot recently, and every time he woke up, he would find that he was in a different place, and there was nothing he could do.
Fortunately, this time there was a little flute by his side, and he couldn't stop being idle, and he had already told Xuanyuan Mingyu what he was puzzled about: "Little brother, my father and Brother Mu are driving in front, the five of us have just left the Rota tribe and are going to break into the world, and Xiaoxing promised to accept me as an apprentice." ”
Xuanyuan Mingyu couldn't help but smile and thought: Do you want to go to the world with Xiaodi Daxia? That's not bad either!
Qin Xingyi's words pulled Xuanyuan Mingyu's thoughts back to reality, only to hear her say: "Mingyu, I'll take you back to the Western Qin Kingdom now." Although you have amnesia, there is one thing that must be checked! ”
Xuanyuan Mingyu smiled even more, remembering a scene that he had dreamed of repeatedly in his coma in the past few days, and moaned intermittently: "Yes, it's very important...... Your father ......"
"What did you say?" Qin Xingyi suddenly became nervous, could it be that Xuanyuan Mingyu had regained some of her memories?
"Your father...... Put you ...... Promised to me. Xuanyuan Mingyu had bright eyes and bright teeth, smiled chicly, and said amazing words.
Qin Xingyi was stunned for a moment, couldn't believe her ears, and asked, "Really?" ”
"yes, I'm really hungry...... I don't lie to you. ”
"Why did my father do this?"
"Because you're ......" Xuanyuan Mingyu wanted to answer, but she didn't have the strength, she closed her eyes and wanted to fall asleep.
Qin Xingyi was in a hurry, and there was always a mistake at every critical moment, so she couldn't help but grab Xuanyuan Mingyu's shoulders with both hands, shook it vigorously, and shouted anxiously: "Mingyu, please don't sleep, hurry up and tell me the reason." ”
"Little Star?" Xu Xiaodi screamed, feeling puzzled, just now you told me to lighten, why are you shaking harder now?
"Shhhh Don't talk. Let Mingyu finish speaking. Qin Xingyi saw that Xiaodi was going to ask Tao Tao endlessly, so she hurriedly interrupted.
Xuanyuan Mingyu struggled to keep herself from falling asleep and told an amazing secret about Qin Xingyi's father.
