The crowd at the head of the village gradually dispersed, and the orphans and widows of several families who had been beheaded cried bitterly to collect the bodies of their relatives, leaving the ground full of sorrow, the wind shouted, rolled up the fallen leaves on the ground and flew in the wind, some went away with the wind, and some fell on the roofs nearby, rolling and rolling in the gaps between the tiled houses, struggling with all their might, but finally they did not know the raging wind.

The wind was biting, pouring into it along the mouth of the leader, which could make people cold to the bone marrow, but Qiao Wan didn't notice anything, the whole person stood there in a daze, and his head was looking up at the gloomy sky at a forty-five degree angle, like a stone sculpture.

What to do? Qiao Wan's mind was rummaging over and over again with these words? I knew that this was the case, and two months ago, I should have left Qiaojia Village with that Ye Feng.

"Xianggong, go home!" There was a familiar voice around him, Qiao Wan lowered his head, it was his wife's voice, his wife didn't come out before, obviously she got a report from the villagers, so she rushed over from home, looking at his wife's red and swollen eyes, obviously he also knew what happened today. ”

Faltering, the old couple supported each other, stumbling back to the door, a few tiled houses at home, or the new tiles that Ye Feng took people to change, and the fence around the courtyard was not the branch thatch used by other villagers, but the wood that was cut very neatly, of course, this was also the masterpiece of the young officer, looking at all this, Qiao Wan's heart tingled, I knew it was like this, why bother in the first place! ”

"Dad, mother!" Son Qiao Cheng greeted him with some panic, "My sister locked herself in the house and cried, and no one was allowed to go in." ”

The husband and wife looked at each other with tears in their eyes, and there was nothing they could do.

"Also, there are other people in the house." Qiao Cheng paused and said again.

"Someone else, who?"

"Yes, it's someone sent by Qiao Tang."

Qiao Wan's heart was burning with anger, and she strode into the door. At a glance, I saw that there were four more people in the room, two men and two women, the male was strong, and the female was also round and thick-shouldered.

"Mr. Joe is back!" A man with a fierce face greeted him, "I am waiting for Mr. Qiao's order to guard the door for Mr. Qiao, so as not to disturb Mr. Qiao's peace, these two women are sent by Mr. Qiao to serve Miss." ”

Hearing this, Qiao Wan's heart suddenly cooled down, and she had planned to run away with her family overnight. Who knows, the other party had already expected his plan, and even sent someone to look at his family.

"How dare Qiao Tang do this, counting, we haven't come out of the five suits yet, he's incest, you know?" Qiao Wan stiffened his neck and yelled at the other party.

The man at the head laughed, "Mr. Qiao." What can't come out of five suits, your family and Master Qiao's family can't fight together, it's just the same surname, your family's Rong Niang is favored by the master. That's a blessing for your family, Mr. Qiao, I don't have to hide it from you, your family has a close relationship with a general surnamed Ye in the Han Dynasty. It's not fake, if it weren't for the fact that your daughter was born beautiful, she fell into the eyes of the master. Is it possible for your family to be alive now, just like Qiao San and them, they were dragged to the village and beheaded! So, Ah Mr. Joe, be content, be content! The man casually grabbed Qiao Cheng, who was glaring at him angrily, "Look at Brother Cheng, this is only twelve or thirteen years old, if you are also cut off your head, tsk, it will be a pity, and your Mr. Qiao's house will be cut off from incense!" ”

Qiao Wan was like a balloon that had been punctured with a hole, and the whole person wilted all of a sudden, and Qiao's legs were even weaker, and he sat down on the ground.

"You two, why don't you hurry up and accompany Miss Rong Niang, if Miss loses a cold hair, you two won't have to live." The man at the head looked at Qiao Wan and frightened him, and couldn't help but laugh proudly, and shouted to the two strong women beside him.

"Got it, butler!" The two strong women immediately walked to the side of the room, Rong Niang's door was tightly closed, no matter how the two strong women were patting outside, there was no movement, the strong man led by a cold smile, walked to the door, picked up his fist, and hit the door hard, the thin door panel made a noise, broke in a few pieces, the two strong women exclaimed, and broke in with a big stride.

The two strong women rushed away, the two of them lifted Rong Niang's feet and dragged her off the stool, Qiao Shi also rushed in crying, and the two of them hugged each other and cried loudly.

"Miss Qiao, I advise you to be calm, look at your father and brother, if you have three long and two short, they won't live. Think about it, with you alone, in exchange for the peace of your family and the glory and wealth in the future, this kind of business is enough! The leader of the big man said coldly.

Qiao Wan let out a long sigh and sat down on the ground.

Qiaojia Village ushered in the first snow of this winter, compared with previous years, this year's snow seems extraordinarily larger, if it is placed in the previous year, everyone in Qiaojia Village must be extremely happy, Ruixue Zhaofeng year, a heavy snowfall, enough to ensure that there is a good harvest next year, but now, the entire Qiaojia Village has fallen into a deathly silence, not only the still shocking puddle of blood at the head of the village reminds them, but also because their family has little food left, this year's harvest is very good, but the Han army is gone, Qiao Tang came back, the rent doubled, and their harvest this year was almost wiped out, whether they could survive this winter has become a question, and everyone is thinking about how to survive this doomed year of hunger.

Compared with other people in Qiao's village, Qiao Wan's family is even more desperate, the days are passing day by day, and the ten-day limit of Qiao Tang is getting closer and closer, yesterday, Qiao Tang sent someone to send a few gifts, claiming to be a dowry for the Qiao family, and even the big red wedding dress was sent over. There is one more day, it is the deadline, Qiao Wan has nothing to do, there is really no way to go to the sky, there is no way to enter the ground, is it true that his delicate and lovely pearl in the palm is really going to be given to Qiao Tang, who is about to pass the age of six, to be the tenth aunt's wife?

There are a few more men in the house, and everyone in Qiao Wan's family is regarded to death, even the last thatched house is followed, even if Qiao Wan has any plans, he can't show it, not to mention, he is just an ordinary person who has read a little bit of books.

Remorse, he couldn't think of anything but repentance.

It's late at night. Qiao Wan leaned on the cold bed, his eyes were dull, today was a whole day, those people sent by Qiao Tang were decorating their yards, the red colored silk was wrapped around the fence, and the door of the house was also pasted with the big red happy word, tomorrow, the sedan chair of the Qiao family will come, and his daughter is afraid that she will say goodbye to herself. Qiao Wan understood her daughter's temperament, she didn't want to drag down the family, but she was afraid that when she entered the door of Qiao Tang's house, it was the moment of Rong Niang's life, he covered his face, and tears slipped down silently.

The wife went to the wing room to accompany her daughter, and through the wall, Qiao Wan could also hear the whimpering sound coming from there, outside the door. The snoring shook the sky, it was those doglegs who guarded his family.

There was a soft sound from the window, and a cold wind immediately poured in, and Qiao Wan thought that she hadn't closed the window properly. When he turned his head, his pupils suddenly dilated, and the window opened without wind, and his head suddenly fell from above. His face was covered with a cloth and a finger was put to his mouth, and he let out a soft boo.

Qiao Wan's eyes widened. Seeing this white-covered man crawl in through the window like a tanuki, if it weren't for the fact that his nerves had almost gone numb in the past few days, he would have almost screamed.

"Don't be silent, we were sent by Master Ye." The person who came put his mouth to Qiao Wan's ear, "Ye Feng, you should know each other, right?" ”

Qiao Wan's heart shook violently, the young division commander of the Han Army, he didn't forget their family, he didn't forget Rong Niang, he actually sent someone over when their family was in the most danger, but how did they know that their family had reached the most critical juncture now?

The visitor made a few gestures, reached out of the window, waved, and in Qiao Wan's widening eyes, one after another sturdy men dressed in white scarves crawled in from the window.

"There is one in front of my door, one in front of the cymbal's room, two in the hall, two more in the outer yard, and two strong women in Rong Niang's room." Qiao Wan finally reacted and whispered to the visitor.

The person who came nodded, the heads of several men came together, and after a few words of low discussion, a man walked to the door, gently opened the door, and a strong man wrapped in a blanket was sitting at the door of Qiao Wan, in front of him, a pot of charcoal was burning vigorously. The man's wrist flicked, a cold light appeared in his hand, he quietly walked to the strong man wrapped in a blanket, slowly stretched out his hand, the cold blade came in little by little, suddenly, one hand covered the other party's mouth and nose, the other hand quickly wiped, the strong man who was snoring like thunder opened his eyes, looked at a pair of cold eyes in front of him in horror, there was a hissing sound of air leakage in his throat, the two legs were straightened at once, and after a few flicks, the whole person was as soft as noodles.

Watching the man in white silently kill a man in front of him like slaughtering a pig and a sheep, Qiao Wan only felt that his heart was about to jump out, and the whole person couldn't lift the slightest strength.

Several men in white floated out of the house like ghosts.

Which strong men who were like wolves and tigers in front of Qiao Wan and the villagers, fierce and vicious, in front of these white-clothed people, were like docile lambs, with no room for resistance, and in an instant, the house already smelled a thick smell of blood, and in the whole process, it seemed that only Rong Niang's house let out two short exclamations, which were the voices of Rong Niang and her mother.

After a while, the men in white who had gone out all returned, two of them holding a woman in their hands, and the other holding their legs in their hands and trembling with thick cymbals.

Looking at Qiao Wan's eyes, the man in white who came in first said with a smile: "Mr. Qiao, the two of them are also women, and they will not surprise Mrs. Qiao and Miss." ”

"Dare I ask you who are?" Qiao Wan finally calmed down, stood up, and bowed to the comer.

The man in white ripped off his masked scarf, "Get to know me, in Xia Zhang Xi, who serves in the Supervision Yuan of the Han Kingdom." ”

"The Inspectorate?" Qiao Wanwan paused for a moment.

"Oh, that's right, we were entrusted by General Ye Fengye to come to Qiaojia Village to welcome Mr. and his family to Dahan." Zhang Xi said with a smile.

"How did you come by such a coincidence?" Qiao Wan paused for a moment, "To be honest, if you don't come tonight, Rong Niang will probably be gone." ”

Zhang Xi nodded, "At first, we didn't expect such a change, in order to deal with this matter, we only came a few days late and made some necessary preparations, but Mr. Qiao don't worry, with us here, we will definitely be able to protect your family to reach the destination safely." ”

In fact, Zhang Xi still had some words to say, because considering Qiao Wan's previous attitude, they were originally going to kidnap Qiao Wan's family, and after they didn't want to change their destination, they found that things had taken a great turn for the better, which made them feel a lot more relaxed, but the plan they had prepared before had to be changed in due course.

"Mr. Qiao, we investigated Qiao Tang's prospects, this person's son serves in the ghost shadow of a secret agency in the Chu State, and his official position is not low, so we still have to hurry up and leave, please change your clothes quickly, we can set off, this heavy snow has caused us a lot of trouble."

"Okay, let's pack up and leave right away."

"Don't pack up anything, when you get to Dahan, you won't lack anything!" Zhang Xi smiled, but he was thinking in his heart, if you knew General Ye Feng's family history, I don't know what I would think? That is one of the most noble people in the Han Dynasty, look at that Qiao Rongniang, it is not a heavenly beauty, but I don't know how to make General Ye Feng so obsessed. (To be continued......)
