Twenty-four. Redeemed

In the distance, the flying snow slowly settled, and after the white mist, a line of black shadows gradually became clear. It turned out that the little arrow just now came from this shadow.

After careful discernment, I saw that the shadow was a man and a horse. The man on the horse was dressed in a pitch-black light uniform, and his figure was high-spirited, with one hand leading the reins to control the horse, and the other hand was holding a small steel crossbow. The crossbow's crossbow was still aimed at the little red fox, and it hadn't had time to put it down. Beneath him was a tall, swarthy and satin-covered horse, which had been suddenly restrained, and was now swaying from side to side with a silky mane, kicking and tapping in the snow that was constantly flickering in the snow with its four hooves.

The guards of the king are like a great enemy. In an instant, a group of people had already stood in a dense row, protecting Fan Wang and Qin Nanxi and others behind.

"Who's coming?" Someone among the guards shouted in the Central Plains dialect, a row of Tong bows was full, and thirty or forty steel arrows flashed in the cold light were aimed at the comer.

Immediately, the black shadow didn't answer, but hung the small crossbow back on his waist without hurry, and then slowly stepped forward, getting closer and closer.

"Situ ......" When Qin Nanxi saw the person on the horse, he couldn't help but be shocked, and he cried out out in a lost voice.

"Situ Yi" immediately said to the man gently. His man and horse were almost on the tips of the guards' arrows. He had a condescending and calm look, ignoring the Fan Wang and the others in front of him, and only cast a pair of eyes on Qin Nanxi, in the light brown light, there was a breath of thought.

Qin Nanxi was overwhelmed by what he looked at, and hurriedly lowered his head to avoid it, but he heard the fan king beside him laugh dryly, and said: "Situ Yi, General Situ, I have admired the name for a long time!" ”

Situ Yi, who was on the horse, turned to King Fan leisurely at this time, leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile, "The prince is polite!" ”

The corners of the king's mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth politely: "This is not the border of the Great Chu Kingdom, I don't know what the general is doing here?" ”

"Heh, although this is not Yunze, it is not Beifan, since you Wuda is here, I will naturally come even more." Situ Yi raised his chin slightly and smiled.

Qin Nanxi suddenly realized that he had not yet been brought into the Northern Fan Di Kingdom.

Seven years ago, the Northern Fan Di Kingdom was defeated by Situ Yi's iron cavalry. Di surrendered, willing to pay tribute, the two countries made an alliance at that time, the northern Di country cut out of Yunze City north of a hundred miles, as the middle of the two countries, in order to promote trade and transportation. Therefore, this hundred-mile territory, called the Two Barrier Belt, is actually under the jurisdiction of Great Chu. Situ Yi's response to the king was obviously revealing the old scars of the fiasco of the Beifan Di Kingdom, and to suppress the prince of the Beifan who crossed the border without permission.

When the king heard this, he narrowed his eyes angrily, and snorted low before he continued: "Okay, then I don't know what the general has come to teach?" ”

"I don't dare to be a teacher, I heard that the prince of Wuda bought a lot of slaves from Yunze?"

On the same day, the Great Emperor and Chu made an alliance, which explicitly agreed that the two countries would trade, and that human trade was not prohibited. It is not against the law for the king to buy some slaves from Yunze and bring them back to the palace. ”

"Well, no. It's just ......" Situ Yi's eyes turned to Qin Nanxi again, looking at her fixedly, but said to the king: "It's just that the prince wants to buy my Situ Yi's woman, but it can't." ”

"Woman!" The dozens of pairs of eyes around him were full of surprise and doubt, and they flew towards Qin Nanxi like arrows along Situ Yi's gaze.

"Well, my woman." Situ Yi was steadfast, allowing dozens of pairs of eyes to stare at Qin Nanxi firmly, and he only looked at her condescendingly from the side, looking at her with a blank expression.

"I heard that General Situ has been very favored recently, and the emperor of your country pointed out the only daughter of Guishang Shuling to the general, but I don't know why there is a general's woman here?" The scholar surnamed Li beside King Fan stepped forward angrily, shook his head at Situ Yi, and asked. After all, there is a decree of marriage hanging over his head, even if Situ Yi is deeply favored, he does not dare to openly behave debaucherously before the wedding.

Situ Yi turned his head in response, his eyes scraped back and forth on him like a knife, the corners of his mouth hooked, and said with a smile: "Miss Qin is naturally the wife of the main hall of the general, and the wife of the general will only be Miss Qin, as for the other family affairs of the general, you will not have to worry about it." After a pause for a while, he suddenly remembered and added, "Oh, I forgot to ask, I don't know who this master is?" ”

"In Xia Li San, a person from Qingzhou, now serving the pen and ink under the king's account." That Li Shusheng raised his eyebrows and replied.

"Qingzhou, Qingzhou ....... a very good place" Situ Yi groaned in a deep voice for a long time before he turned his head and looked at Li San awe-inspiringly, and sighed with a smile: "Qingzhou was originally a good land, how did you fall here?" ”

Li San's face turned red for a while, and he bit his tongue and paused for a long time before he replied, "Scholars are confidants, good birds choose wood, and Xiaosheng abandons his family and business, because he is grateful for the king's kindness." ”

"The grace of knowing it? So you went to Uda's tent to help him march on paper? Well, it's the best use of people. Situ Yi smiled playfully, then threw Li San aside and ignored it, and turned to King Fan: "Lord Wuda, since you already know who I am, what is the reason for putting on such a posture?" ”

The king looked in the direction of Situ Yi's finger, gritted his teeth for a long time, and had to give an order, so that the guards in front of him all withdrew and retreated to the side. After a long time, the prince was not angry again: "The general just said that there are people from the general's house in this king's account, but this king is confused." The slaves in the king's tent were all bought with money, and the deed of sale was signed voluntarily, and I had never seen anyone from the general's mansion. The general suddenly came to ask like this, who is the prince? ”

Situ Yi listened indifferently, lowered his head and twisted the horsewhip in his hand, and smiled without anger: "What can I be when you are?" Aren't you the Prince of Uda in the North? At the moment, my people are true in your account, and today I will not pursue your stealing and selling in Yunze City, but you want to detain my people, and who are you and I Situ Yi? ”

Qin Nanxi, who was standing on the side, was secretly cheering for Situ Yi, when he suddenly heard a low gnashing sound from the mouth of the king next to him, and he didn't feel a chill down his spine, and his palms were also damp. Thinking about it carefully, Situ Yi has been alone for so long, and he hasn't seen an entourage follow, but I'm afraid that he will come alone. But at present, there are less than thirty or forty of the king's close attendants. Even if he was brave and brave, it would be very difficult for him to resist such a fierce thirty or forty warriors alone.

Qin Nanxi's heart was beating in shock, and suddenly he heard the king swallow his breath and say: "Come on, go and bring the list of slaves, and find the people in his house for General Situ." After that, he squinted at Qin Nanxi again with a slender ghost eye, and then turned to Situ Yi and said with a sly smile: "I don't know who is the name of the family member who was mistakenly bought in the General's Mansion?" As long as it is found in the roster, this king will let the general redeem it without adding a penny. ”

When Qin Nanxi heard this, a shiver immediately broke out in his heart. Situ Yi didn't know that her pseudonym was Su Jiu, and even if she wanted to redeem her now, she couldn't find the deed that bought and sold her.

She was secretly anxious, but she heard Situ Yi say slowly: "How can I hear the name of a girl in the Central Plains at will." Besides, this girl in my family has always been clever, and I don't know what her name will be this time. I have found the person, and now I want to take her back, if you want the money, just take it back, even if you hold it in your hands, can you still take my people away? As soon as the words fell, I saw his right leg slightly raised, and the person jumped off the horse and rushed towards Qin Nanxi step by step.

"General Situ!" The prince of Beifan moved slightly to Qin Nanxi's side, and endured a breath of hatred and hatred.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but this girl in my family likes to play tricks on people, one name at a time, Zhang San and Li Si, it's different every time, I really don't know what she's called this time." Situ Yi was absent-mindedly perfunctory with Lord Wuda, but his feet did not stop, approaching step by step.

"Si, Situ, General" Qin Nanxi's voice was so low that she almost fell to the ground, and along with the voice, her head and eyelids were lowered, and as soon as he arrived in front of her, she no longer had the strength to raise her head to face him.

Situ Yi didn't reply, Qin Nanxi was secretly wondering, and suddenly he only felt that his shoulders were pressed heavily, and his body immediately warmed up after being slightly shivering from the cold.

Belch? Curious in his heart, Qin Nanxi forgot about the embarrassment inexplicably, and only raised his eyebrows suddenly, just touching Situ Yi's indifferent smiling eyes.

"Next time, remember to bring enough clothes," Situ Yi said lightly while untying off the sable cloak on his body and wrapping it around her. It's as if she's really a beloved little girl who has a tantrum with him.

Qin Nanxi choked in his throat, so he had to nod obediently.

"Ha, haha." The king suddenly laughed roughly, holding his stomach and saying on the side: "I didn't expect the dignified General Chu Zhenyuan to have such an extraordinary habit!" This Su Jiu is obviously a handsome young man, and the general is actually ...... It's good to have broken sleeves! Hahaha"

Situ Yi frowned, glanced at the king, then ignored the laughter of him and the crowd, took Qin Nanxi's right hand and dragged her away.

"Don't laugh, who said I'm a man?" Qin Nanxi couldn't stand the thirty or forty faces around him that were so red and ambiguous that they were full of ambiguity. She shook off Situ Yi's hand, raised her hand and ripped off the crown on her head.

The black hair on his head poured down his shoulders, and the laughter around him stopped abruptly. The hot blood that had just rushed to his head finally returned to his body, and Qin Nanxi realized that he was under the complicated gaze of all around him.

"Let's go, Su~Jiu~" Situ Yi turned around and greeted him, a big hand reached under the cloak, found her hand, and held it tightly. His palms were rough and dry, and they were warm.

Staggering and dragging by him, his feet did not seem to touch the ground, and the man had been dragged to the beautiful black satin horse. Qin Nanxi suddenly remembered one thing at this time, hurriedly pulled his hands, grabbed Situ Yi's arm, and begged in a low voice: "General, Nanxi has something to ask for." ”

Situ Yi turned around and said lightly: "Say it."

And there was a child in the tent, named Calf, who was an orphan and was sold into slavery to them. But he was still a kid after all, and if he went there, I'm afraid he would ...... Since the general can save Nanxi, why not show mercy and save the child at the same time? ”

Qin Nanxi looked at him expectantly with a small face, but saw that the corners of Situ Yi's lips were only slightly curled, and she said, "You have to inch in!" ”

Before he finished speaking, Qin Nanxi only felt that her body was slanting, her feet were three feet off the ground, she was already sitting on the saddle, her waist was tightly pressed behind the person, behind her ears, less than five inches, it was Situ Yi's voice, "Wuda, I took my woman away, you go to Yunze to get the ransom." ”
