CHAPTER XVIII
Qin Jiu walked at the front of the team, protecting Xu Hui and several female dead soldiers into the firewood room. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Because the light was not very good, with Xu Hui's eyesight, he could only see a man in a blue silk robe lying in the corner of the firewood room, breathing steadily and weakly, I don't know whether he fell asleep or fainted.
Not far from the man's side, a dozen coarse scones were scattered haphazardly, serving as rations for rats and cockroaches. And in the direction of his head, there were also many crumbs of scones scattered all around, not so much leftovers, but another plan to force feed him, but the other party resisted, so that it happened.
Xu Hui stood by the door of the firewood room, looking at the unconscious man coldly, and a little jealousy rose in his heart.
These thieves just tied the man's hands and feet with ropes, but did not cover his mouth and nose, if you really want to die, there are many ways, bite your tongue, hit the pillar, your heart is horizontal, everything is over, why take a hunger strike to test people's perseverance in an extreme way? Xu Hui's martial arts practice is getting longer and longer, and her physical exertion is getting bigger and bigger, so she naturally knows what it's like to be hungry - even if she didn't look down on it at all in her previous life, she felt that it was extremely rough, and she couldn't swallow fried cakes and scones, and when she was hungry, she tasted it like a delicacy in Yaochi.
She had been hungry for only an hour or two, and she was able to abandon the habit she had developed over the years, and accept coarse grains, and look at the things around the man and the amount of crumbs, apparently hungry for days. If he were someone else, he could do things like begging on his knees, but when these things were placed beside him, he could bear not to eat or speak, and to kick them away...... With such perseverance and heart, it is really ...... Extremely scary. And such a person will easily seek death?
Thinking of this, Xu Hui narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the female dead soldier beside him, and then lightly gestured to Qin Jiu, and then pretended to be casual, and said to Qin Jiu in a relaxed tone while walking towards the other party: "I really didn't expect that the first stop of the trial would encounter this kind of trouble. Let me take a look, who is this unlucky guy, and if he meets him in the customized assessment in the future, he will make fun of the other party. ”
She behaved so clearly, how could the people around her not care? Among the female dead, Ah Yuan, the eldest, pretended to hesitate and said: "Lang Jun, I'm afraid that the other party is cheating, so let's wait for the servants to go and investigate, or wait for the adults to come, and then make plans!" ”
Ah Yuan is four years older than Xu Hui, in the age of Jilu, although his appearance is mediocre, his voice is quite soft, and people can clearly hear that it is a girl's family. Without seeing her dressed, but hearing their conversation, it was easy to think that she was a gentleman who was taking the head of a bandit to get credit and seniority.
Xu Hui bowed his head lightly, gave Ah Yuan a approving look, his left hand had firmly grasped the sleeve knife, and he strode over without saying anything, and deliberately sneered: "It's just a lost dog whose hands and feet are tied, how can I bear it?" After that, she had already squatted down, as if she was going to probe this person's snort, but who expected that the other party, who was originally determined to be asleep, actually jumped up, and planned to clasp Xu Hui's neck with her left hand, and leaned out with her right hand to the place where she hung the clothes knife.
Xu Hui had already prepared, and hinted at everyone, how could he really be plotted by him? She didn't think about it, the unsheathed sleeve knife made a big cut in the opponent's hand, and then turned around and forced it into the opponent's neck. Qin Jiu, Ah Yuan, Ah Er and the others also immediately pounced, clasped the other party's hands behind their backs, took out the rope again, and tied him firmly, not to mention, the tip of the spear was still against his back, and the other party saw that the situation was not good, so he quieted down.
Ah Yuan picked up the rope scattered on the ground and handed it to Xu Hui, Xu Hui glanced at the place where the rope was broken, and then smiled lightly, seemingly questioning, but in fact said very firmly: "Under the guise of a hunger strike, reduce the attention of the thieves to you, so that they will not pay attention to the rope that is wearing out?" ”
Although Zhou's body was covered with dust and embarrassed, and he had become quite pale and haggard because he had only eaten some water in the past few days, he could not hide the young man's handsome eyebrows, and what attracted more attention was his eyes.
People who have never seen blood will never have this kind of wolf cub, lonely and proud, persistent and patient, never giving up, and shining scary eyes.
Hearing Xu Hui's question, he smiled lightly, completely unaware of being a prisoner, and said casually and lightly: "Since you have already guessed, why bother asking?" ”
For his attitude, Qin Jiu, Ah Yuan and the others were angry at the moment, but because of this person's aristocratic status, they didn't dare to really do anything. Xu Hui didn't care, stretched out his hand and touched the material of his clothes, and said very firmly: "Youzhou people? Coming from Yuzhou, planning to go back to Youzhou? If this is the case, how can you go to Guyuan County? ”
Seeing her show such a hand, the other party was also a little surprised, but nodded generously and said, "Not bad." ”
"You can wear clothes of this material, your father, brother and uncle, not to mention that one of them is an official at the county level." Xu Hui looked at the other party for a long time and asked, "Why don't there be any servants?" Could it be that they were all killed? ”
Before the other party could say anything, Xu Lin hurried with someone, holding a spear in his left hand and handing it to Xu Hui. Xu Hui stroked the cold body of the gun, touched the dent, paused, and his face changed slightly: "Qi ...... Youzhou ...... Could it be that you are the nephew of the Yanmen Taishou? ”
As soon as she spoke, the faces of the people present changed, and the respect and awe for the nobles of the family just now became a little undisguised contempt.
Although Qi Zhong is a Han clan, he has guarded Yanmen for more than 20 years, and the Xiongnu cannot go south half a step, so it stands to reason that he should be extremely respected by everyone. But the bad thing is that his father was an official of the Han people, but he took refuge in the Huns, he grew up in the Huns, and became an official of the Huns, but he took advantage of the Huns' invasion of the state to turn back, causing the Huns to have to withdraw their troops and return home, and the casualties were extremely heavy. Although his actions directly led to the rescue of the Northland again, and also made him directly promoted to the Taishou of Yanmen, which ensured the peace of the Northland side, and also made the Huns hate him to the core, but for the betrayal of their father and son for two generations to betray and raise their own race, the vast majority of people are extremely despised.
When this person saw Xu Hui three times and two times, he guessed his true identity, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "That's right, Jiajun is the Taishou of Yanmen, and his name is Qi Xiazhong, I am his fifth son, Qi Fang." ”
"Qi Fang ......" Reading this slightly familiar name, Xu Hui thought for a while before asking, "Shouldn't you be studying in Yingchuan?" How did it end up here? ”
