Chapter 06: Crossing the Thief

It was snowing lightly.

Zhao Xing and Qingfeng walked all the way among the pedestrians, with shops on both sides, and the shouting gradually rose, which was more prosperous and lively than Zhizhi County. Here, it's not a disgusting county.

Where is this, Zhao Xing asked.

Nanyang County, Qingfeng replied. And at last, I added that thou hast slept for many days......

It turned out to be Nanyang County...... Zhao Xing's heart sank, and her heart kept falling down, and she didn't speak anymore. I don't know why, she was suddenly scared of what Qingfeng would say.

When we arrived at the market, the breeze stopped.

Zhao Xing was stunned...... Something must have happened here, and the people took their hands and rushed to the gates. She looked at Qingfeng, but Qingfeng slowly turned her face away, and said softly, "Miss, what you want to know is over there, you go and take a look, let's see......"

The snow fell so poignantly, a little bit like shining stars, that people couldn't open their eyes.

Zhao Xing's eyes were tingled by the snow spots, and when she looked up, the sky and the earth were dark and hazy, and the north wind was drumming and drumming, and it was bitterly cold. She shook off Qingfeng's hand and squeezed into the crowd.

Over there, dozens of layers of people are stacked on top of each other, and their voices are dense.

"Tut, King Guangchuan actually killed a group of crossing thieves this time, tell me, will the emperor be angry because of this? Won't the other rebels in our county also suffer? ”

"Who knows, it should be that the county officials above hate those traversers, didn't you hear that there was a mass grave buried back then, all of them, they are all those who crossed the rebel party......"

"How dare you be here to criticize the government in public?"

Several officials and men passed by her, and the people were discussing it and were silent one by one. Zhao Xing could only hear someone on the side lower his voice and say, "What do you say about the matter of the county?" ”

Disgusted with the county?

She shook slightly, her heart burned like fire, and she tried her best to squeeze the voice, but to no avail.

Suddenly, her waist tightened, and a familiar breath suddenly came, Zhao Xing could only hear the startled cries in the crowd, she had been carried over the human wall and stood at the front.

In front of him, there are two emperor lists.

One of them wrote a lot of words, which can be summed up exactly: Liu Yuezi, the king of Guangchuan Hui, heir, forty-four years old. Liu went to succeed to the throne.

And the other one is written: After being checked by the king of Guangchuan, Yang Chengzhu of Pingyuan County and Yanci County was the former cross-thief Hengshan Wang's old party, and the four members of his family have been ambushed. The corpse was exposed at the county gate for three days to set an example. I will punish those who cross the day, and whoever makes trouble, if they are found to be ten hundredfold, and those who wear them will be crushed and ashes will be scattered, and those who wear their souls will be destroyed.

King of Hengshan, Liu Ci...... That is, the uncle of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who had intended to rebel many years ago and had already been killed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Did he cross over?

And Yang Chengzhu is her father's name.

Zhao Xing forgot how she left the crowd, and only remembered the conversation between herself and Qingfeng at that time.

She asked him, "I have a family of four, and I am the only one...... Escape alone? ”

Qingfeng's voice was harsh, "Your father doesn't know what method was used, so he arranged for your Yang Cheng family to live two lives from the hands of the prisoners." He said he knew he was going to die. ”

"Why isn't it my mother and brother, my father loves my mother the most, and my brother is the son of the Yangcheng family......"

"Mrs. said, she must accompany your father, Mingyue is willing to replace you, your brother does not want me to replace him, saying that if you keep the two children of the Yang Cheng family, it will be too eye-catching, but I am afraid that it will increase your risk in the future. Miss, their first consideration is you, you are the one they love the most, so you have to live no matter what. ”

She was born an orphan in her previous life, and her adoptive parents ignored her after they had a child. In this life, I finally enjoyed the love of my parents for seven years, just seven years. Now...... But to lose it so completely?

Zhao Xing's mind "shook", feeling that her heart was empty, as if someone had taken a piece of it, her eyes were dark, and when she woke up again, the person had been taken back to the inn by Qingfeng.

She drew the saber from his waist and pointed it coldly at him.

"Xin'er ......" seemed to be unable to see the bright and flickering tip of the sword, and the breeze was extremely hateful, step by step, step by step, walking towards her.

"You are not allowed to call me by name!" Zhao Xing stared at him with hatred in his eyes, and roared: "I can obviously rush back, it's you, it's you...... Get lost! Otherwise, I'll kill you! ”

"Your Yang Cheng family still owes me wages for many years, and I won't leave."

Qingfeng's eyes were also red, but his voice was still calm, and every word was as cold as a common day, like a vow.

She touched it in her arms without saying a word, but saw Qingfeng take something from her waist and slowly lift it.

That's her purse!

He laughed dumbly and said slowly: "You are penniless now, either you kill me, otherwise, I will follow you forever." ”

She was angry in her heart, gritted her teeth, stabbed him with a backhand sword, and pressed it against his neck, but he was still motionless, not even trembling, only looking at her deeply.

Zhao Xing smiled bitterly, no matter how painful and angry she was, but she could really get rid of this hand? drove him away, how many Cheng Cheng didn't want him to die, she, the real lady, has not yet been punished, once it is found out, it is the crime of killing, how can he be spared?

It's just that she can still support it with hatred, but at this moment, she can't support it anymore, her eyes are dark, and she falls to the ground.

The night before leaving, the voices and smiles of her father, mother, and brother seemed to be still in front of her, as if this qiē was just an excerpt directed and performed by her calculating fox father......

It seems that at the end of the song, people are scattered, and they ...... can also smile slowly from behind the curtain, and can play and laugh with her.

Like, they never left.

Qingfeng is right, none of them are normal, so they even have her maid Mingyue. She is an orphan girl bought back from human traffickers, her family has only taken care of her food for more than ten years, she has only played with her for more than ten years, how can she be willing to die for her.

Why kill them?

Hengshan Wang's old party? Before crossing the thief?

However, whether it is Yang Cheng Zhaoxin's memory or Zhao Xing's own memory in the past seven years. In my memory, my father was a teacher in Yici County, running a small academy and abiding by discipline.

King Hengshan failed to rebel that year, and his wife, children, young daughters, and slaves in the family were all killed.

Even in the history that Zhao Xing didn't know, her father was really the old party of King Hengshan, and he was a thief through the past, but in the years that followed, he stayed away from the temple and hid in the rivers and lakes, only intoxicated with the lives of ordinary people, and all kinds of past events came to naught. His words and deeds convinced her that he had no rebellious heart, why did he still be suspicious of the old things, why did he refuse to let her go of the Yangcheng family?

When she was hugged into her arms by Qingfeng, whose face changed greatly, Zhao Xing's body trembled, the pain was extreme, and she couldn't shed a single tear if she wanted to cry, she gritted her teeth and used her last bit of strength to say, "Qingfeng, check out, if you insist on following me, you will escort me to Chang'an." ”

Qingfeng was startled, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Admission as an official!".

"Are you crazy! You know that women in our court are not allowed to enter the court as officials, not to mention that in the probation system, whether it is filial piety or something else, with your current status-"

"It can't be, right? I thought so too. So I plan to go to Guo Yunyi first, and then enter Taixue. ”

"Guo Yunyi? You know it's just the old fox's delaying tactic. He has already confessed that this matter will not be hidden from you, and when you learn the truth, you and I will immediately go into hiding. He said, "With your intellect, if you can take refuge, you will be safe." ”

Qingfeng grabbed her shoulder fiercely, her eyes became cold and sharp, she smiled, and said slowly: "Qingfeng, let me ask you, who issued this killing order, do you know, the emperor, or the current king of Guangchuan?" ”

Qingfeng's face froze, frowned for a moment, and shook his head.

She replied: "If it is the emperor, then we still have a trace of life, if it is the king of Guangchuan...... Think about it, how sad it is for his father to die of illness and filial piety, but he can still spare the energy to check and kill my Yang Cheng family, he attaches so much importance to it, do you think we two people who have been replaced can really hide it? In the meantime, after tracking down, the world is not the king's land, do you and I have to live our lives in hiding like rats crossing the street? You know my temperament, I lost my freedom, I would rather die! ”

Qingfeng lowered his eyes slightly when he heard this, the corners of his mouth tightened, and he didn't say a word.

"Besides, this revenge of destroying the door, I want to find out the reason why the Yang Cheng family was destroyed, if it is wronged, I must seek justice for the Yang Cheng family!"

"If it's really King Guangchuan's doing, what can you do, can you kill him?"

Qingfeng Huo Ran raised his head and asked sharply.

"Become the most trusted courtier by his side, and then kill him. Do you believe or ...... Unbelief? ”

"Are you going to be a minister of the capital in the future?"

Qingfeng heard her laugh lowly, her face changed drastically, and she snatched the long sword she held in the palm of her hand.

Zhao Xing's palm had already been cut by the blade of the sword, but only in this way could she slightly ease the sharp pain in her heart.

The people she loved and cared for her and loved her were all dead, she only had the breeze, she wanted to protect him, she had to take revenge, she couldn't just fall like this.

Only a strong pain can keep a person awake.

The light in Qingfeng's eyes changed rapidly, and his breathing suddenly became heavy, he gritted his teeth and stared at her, and at the end, he nodded heavily, "I promise you to protect you to Chang'an, even if I die, I will protect you." But you also have to promise me not to hurt yourself again, not to become, I ...... The old fox would never want to see you ...... like this."

Change?

Daddy...... Mother...... Brother...... And Mingyue is gone, what does it matter if she changes or doesn't change? Could it be that there is anyone in this world that regards the life of the traveler as a mustard?

Zhao Xing thought in a daze and fainted in Qingfeng's arms.

……

The longest snowfall since the beginning of winter between heaven and earth, the whole world is covered in silver, white and enchanting, Zhao Xing also had the first serious illness since the crossing, almost couldn't survive this blizzard, shocked Qingfeng secretly caught a number of doctors to see her.

The doctors said that she was too sick, that it was a heart disease, and that it could not be treated.

As soon as she took the prescription, she vomited. She had the same dream every night, dreaming that she broke away from the hand of the man in the dark clothes, and with one step, she escaped the breeze and returned to Yanci County, where she died with her father and brother.

If she could be ruthless at that time and get into the carriage, how could the fresh breeze with the anesthetic in her body catch up with her?

She hated herself very much, and she hated the man, and when she heard Qingfeng say, the man didn't leave anything more and left with him. She laughed when she heard it, and she didn't expect anything in return.

Her heart was clear, but her body was sinking. Later, I woke up in the middle of the night, and saw Qingfeng standing beside the bed with a sword, a pair of clear eyes, faintly shining with water, and my heart hurt a lot, struggling to get up and take medicine for my life, and saved my life.

Half a month later, her body finally turned, but she also fell into the root of the disease, she is half a doctor, she understands in her heart, only hide the breeze, and the two set off for Chang'an.

On the way, when asked about Qingfeng, Fang Zhiyang's case of being sentenced to become a family, Qingfeng didn't know that her father had never mentioned a word to him. He asked, but Daddy looked complicated and didn't answer.

Who was her father before he lived in seclusion and hated the second county, and was he the old party of King Hengshan? The old party that crossed the anti-thieves before?

It is reasonable for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to kill Yang Chengjia for this reason, but if Liu Liu, the king of Guangchuan, goes, what is he for?

Who gave the killing order, could it be Liu Qu?

How did Daddy use to ask for two lives from the prisoners?

Who is this prisoner?

Was Zhang Gongzi's family implicated?

Zhao Xing decided to follow the original plan, and after arriving in Chang'an, he would still look for Guo Yunyi, and maybe he could find out the secret of the Yangcheng family's murder case from his mouth.
