Chapter 166: Is It Him?
Chapter 166: Is it him?
Xiao Qingqian's voice fell. Lin Changyuan knocked on the door.
"Young grandmother, my subordinates have already found out, and those people are indeed villagers in this village. In the past, they were attacked by wild beasts, that is, no matter how tightly guarded, people would die every year, and then some hunters found a cave in the middle of the mountainside, so they transported grain into it before winter, and the people of a village lived in the cave, until the snow melted the next year, and the wild beasts would go down the mountain and return to the village. ”
"I told them that we were merchants, and that we had come to the north to barter. They were very interested and wanted to exchange animal skins and some mountain goods for our food. The subordinates felt that they could believe it, not to mention that although we did not have an advantage in numbers, we were all masters, and the wolf attack was discovered in time last night, although the brothers were all in the house and there were no casualties, but most of the horses were lost, and the grain could not be transported away anyway. ”
Although the food they brought was not much, compared to the barren north, it was still eye-catching.
This food was originally used to cover identity.
A large amount of grain was arranged by Xie Ke to be secretly hidden near Beiguanchen, and her arrangement would naturally change before Qi Lu was found.
I hoped that this food could appease the people in the north and prevent riots, but I didn't want everything to seem to be the same as in my previous life...... Xie Ke was a little dazed, and was pulled by Cong Rui's sleeves a few times before he reacted.
"Everything is arranged by Mr. Lin......"
Lin Changyuan responded, turned around and went to discuss with those people in the north how to barter. Xiao Qingqian smiled, her eyes full of appreciation. He likes Xie Ke's determination to do things without delay.
And she's very strong when she's supposed to be tough. Weak when it should be weak. When he should make a decision like just now, he will not be able to act like her...... Personable. Yes, demeanor, although it is a little strange to use this word on a girl, but in Xiao Qingqian's eyes, Xie Ke is a personable person.
Whether it is to her subordinates or Qi Lu, she is extremely measured. This kind of balance is not something that ordinary girls can grasp.
Just like just now, she said: Lin Changyuan is in charge of everything. seems to entrust his net worth, but in fact, for Lin Changyuan, that sentence is an incentive of 120,000 points. Lin Changyuan even fought for his own life. It will also inevitably get things done.
So he said that Xie Ke was a good general.
You see, I was surrounded by wolves all night. But none of them were hurt, and the answers they were looking for jumped out of their own accord.
Maybe this blessing can really be passed on to Qi Lu.
"Now that you are safe, you lords and servants should sleep. I will guard the door for you. Xiao Qingqian saw the two girls' haggard faces, and it was rare that there was no amusement in her words.
Xie Ke nodded. Cong Rui got up and closed the curtain that she had hung last night.
Only then did he serve Xie Ke to lie down. Cong Rui rested beside Xie Ke. To be honest, she was really frightened last night, and she even died with her. She would rather snatch Xiao Qingqian's long sword and commit suicide...... All the dangers are just to save the second master on this road. But ......, "Young grandma, do you think the second master will really choose this path?" "This road is too dangerous, but fortunately they are lucky, they just happened to sleep in this uninhabited village when the wolves attacked, if they were in the wild, there would be no bones.
But does the second master have such good luck?
In the letter of the fourth master, it was said that Qi Zhen suddenly rioted, and then the second master did not know whether he was alive or dead. Even if you barely escaped, there must be few guards around, how could you choose such a dangerous path?
Xie Ke nodded.
"Yes." Then he said quietly but firmly.
She knew him, and if he could get out of Qi Town, he would definitely take this road.
It was this thought that made her grit her teeth and persist. As for why she concluded that Qi Lu would take this route if Qi Zhen escaped, she asked He Zhang and Zhao Song to take two other ways to find it.
Naturally, it is already 100 dense, and naturally there can be no more negligence.
What's more, there are too many people, which may not be a good thing here, but it will lead people to doubt, after all, a caravan selling grain, how can it 'hire' more than a hundred skilled guards. That's really Yugai Mitsuki. Cong Rui didn't know how her young grandmother could be so determined, but no matter what the young grandmother said, it always made sense, and it was never wrong. So she is also determined, they continue to move forward, and they will definitely be able to find the second master.
Frightened and frightened last night, Xie Ke's master and servant slept until noon.
When Xie Ke opened his eyes, there was still a fire burning in the room, but Xiao Qingqian was gone, and at this time, Cong Rui rubbed his eyes and got up. "Why is there no one? What about Young Master Qing? Since entering the north, Xie Ke has been coarse cloth dress and turmeric face, in short, the previous ten colors have been removed, the current Xie Ke, that is, the eyebrows and eyes are delicate under a closer look, but this delicate eyebrows and eyes with the face that seems to be riddled with a long illness are really not outstanding, Lin Changyuan is not only good at medicine, but the 'ginger juice' boiled out by himself is also extraordinary.
packed up, Cong Rui went out to look for someone.
But after a pillar of incense, Cong Rui came back with a happy face.
"Young Grandma, Mr. Lin and Young Master Qing have decided to go to the cave where the people from the north are hiding to have a look......"
Xie Ke couldn't help but show a look of doubt on his face. Cong Rui continued. "The words of the people in the north were unclear, and it took a long time for Mr. Lin's young master to understand. They also rescued a group of people five days ago, and they were said to be a 'great hunter' who could tear a wolf in half with his bare hands, but the man seemed to have been injured before, and his subordinates were not lightly wounded, so they were only defeated when they faced the enemy wolves.
Upon closer examination, I learned that the person in charge of the team was a 'very beautiful' man. Mr. Lin suspected that perhaps the people they had saved earlier were the second master and his subordinates. ”
Xie Ke's expression changed from surprise to joy, and even his body trembled slightly.
Can't be in a hurry, can't be in a hurry, maybe it's not Qi Lu.
How could she be so lucky, she entered the northern border for a few days, and she didn't meet a single northern citizen, she was attacked by wolves last night, and someone came to save her, and the person who rescued her happened to save Qi Lu.
This sounds a bit far-fetched.
She can't let this lose her proportion, too many expectations will be broken if she is broken, and she will be devastated at all. Although he was depressed in his heart, Xie Ke's words still revealed a bit of urgency. “…… Young Master Qing also thinks that the other party is credible? Although she couldn't see through Xiao Qingqian, it didn't prevent her from thinking that Xiao Qingqian was really helping her.
Not to mention that his mother gave birth to the eldest princess of Yuyang, it was he who worked hard along the way, and no matter what the situation was, he was in front of her intentionally or unintentionally.
She should have believed him.
"Yes, Young Master Qing feels that the other party is not a treacherous person, it seems to be a small village that makes a living from hunting. Young Master Qing said that the road we chose is mostly such a small village. Most of them are still simple. If they have bad intentions, they won't take the risk of driving away the wolves, they can wait in the distance for the wolves to eat our horses, and surround us for another four or five days, then we won't die and have no power to resist, but they don't, so Young Master Qing said that they are credible. ”
Xie Ke also thought so in his heart.
If the other party has bad intentions, wouldn't it be better to stand by and watch, and when they and the wolves are both defeated, they will come out and reap the benefits of the fisherman. But the other party ventured to help in the dark, which means that the other party is not a bad person.
Since Lin Changyuan and Xiao Qingqian both thought that the other party was credible, she had no reason to hesitate. Besides, maybe Qi Lu is still with them...... is that the other party is suspicious, this 'tiger xue' she also wants to break in, if she doesn't verify her identity, how can she be willing.
Xie Ke told Cong Rui to pack up quickly, she wanted to see that person earlier, and prove whether that person was Qi Lu or not as soon as possible. If not, she would have better get on the road sooner, Qi Lu couldn't wait and she didn't want to wait.
It's just that Xie Ke finished giving the order, but Cong Rui stood still and didn't move.
And there seemed to be a bit of hesitation in his expression. “…… What else? ”
Seeing Cong Rui's expression, Xie Ke knew that she had something to say, but she didn't know whether to say it or not, usually what Cong Rui said at this time would definitely form a big turning point with what she said just now, and sure enough, Cong Rui's next sentence almost made Xie Ke unable to stand.
“…… The man also said that the prettiest girl in their village was going to be married, and that ...... was going to marry 'the best hunter'. That's why they rushed back to the cave overnight, and they happened to help us by passing through the neighborhood. They say it is a custom to bow in front of all the villagers. In this way the gods will bless the newlyweds. Cong Rui overheard this. She didn't want to say it, because she hadn't confirmed whether that person was her second master.
But thinking of his young grandmother trekking all the way, he almost desperately tried his best to save the second master.
If the second master really married the 'most beautiful girl...... in this wild place, wouldn't the young grandmother be heartbroken.
How should the young grandmother's hard work end.
Xie Ke was stunned, and it took a long time to understand Cong Rui's words clearly. The 'prettiest girl' in the village is going to marry the 'best hunter', which sounds like a match made in heaven. It's just that if it was a human Qi Lu, Xie Ke felt that his mood was suddenly terrible.
There seems to be a sense of anger in my heart, but I can't get out.
The understanding reminded her that it had not been confirmed, so everything was in the mirror. But the mood was irresistibly sluggish.
She had come thousands of miles to find him, but he might soon be married to the most beautiful girl here. Xie Ke, Xie Ke, you are really ...... There is nothing in the heavens and no more on the earth.
No, she didn't believe it. They had sworn to believe in each other. But after being separated for more than a month, how could he change his mind.
The so-called bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused, she is really blind just now.
It is not known whether that person is Qi Lu, but it is him...... He must have had a hard time, she thought, didn't the people from the north say he was seriously injured? Maybe it wasn't what he wanted.
She couldn't mess with her mind first. "Cong Rui, tell Mr. Lin to leave as soon as possible." She wanted to see with her own eyes if it was him...... (To be continued......)
