Chapter 339: Captive
Seeing Hu Yan and Luo Yuzhu leading the horse with the hooves wrapped, they didn't even hit the torch, and left quietly, Hu Gu straightened his clothes, raised the torch, and rode his son to Xu Zhiyuan's camp together, passing by a small dirt slope, Hu Gu turned over and dismounted. Pull out the dagger, pry out a small pit of dirt, wrap the envelope in oilcloth, and bury it in it. Then carefully cut out a piece of grass from twenty paces away and cover it.
Hu Jiaju was digging up the turf, and used a dagger to make a sign of contact between the people in the rivers and lakes, so that he wouldn't be able to find where the life-saving envelope was.
Xu Zhiyuan didn't expect that this battle would not be fought, and when he heard the owner of the cottage coming, he got up depressedly, and before he entered the tent, he heard Su Rui talking to someone, and according to the voice, he could hear that it was Luo Zhuxin's eldest disciple Hu Gu, and when he was in Qingyun County, everyone had no less contact.
Excited, Xu Zhiyuan walked quickly into the tent.
"Hu Gu, grass people, I have seen the King of Qin" The father and son of the Hu family gave a greeting to Xu Zhiyuan in unison.
Xu Zhiyuan is now a lost dog, seeing people salute like this, he is unhappy, but he is helpless, not to mention that there is a Luo Yuzhu who may have become the imperial concubine.
"It's really a big flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't know the family! Unexpectedly, the cottage that this king wants to attack is Hu Daxia's territory. Xu Zhiyuan laughed twice, and then said, "Both, please take a seat." ”
"Thank you, King Qin!" The father and son of the Hu family clasped their fists again, and then sat down.
Although Xu Zhiyuan is down, the shelf that should be placed still has to be placed. After an inferior sergeant came to pour tea, he blew it, took a shallow sip, and secretly glanced at Su Rui, seeing Su Rui shaking his head, he turned to look at Hu Gu and said, "Hu Daxia, I don't know where Miss Luo Yuzhu is now?" Why didn't you come over with Hu Daxia to sit and catch up? ”
"Don't hide it from King Qin, Hu took Miss Luo to flee from the Yangtao Grassland and came to the land of King Gui in the Western Regions. As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, although Hu asked himself how much skill he had, but in the face of thousands of troops, Hu had only to flee for his life! At that time, the army of Jingyang was like a madman, killing people when they saw them, and robbing things when they saw them. Hu Gu was too busy to take care of himself, and he was separated from Miss Luo, and even the little girl Yan'er was also separated in the war. Thinking of me in the rivers and lakes, there are some unique secret contact methods, and afterwards I took the children to look for Miss Luo and my little girl Yan'er, but the horses' hooves are messy, many places, there are corpses of civilians everywhere, and sometimes, dozens of miles of grassland are deserted! Ay...... Now, I don't know if they're okay? "Hu Gu is an old man, and these words are really the same.
"This king can see that Hu Daxia and the Luo family have a deep relationship, but the war is ruthless, and it is all a trick set up by Xu Zhilan, otherwise, the army of Jingyang Kingdom will not be forced to go desperate by Xu Zhilan and the stupid King Gui, frantically hunting civilians in the Western Regions, and snatching food to save their lives!" Xu Zhiyuan never forgot to give Xu Zhilan hatred points.
Su Rui was upset, he didn't want to talk nonsense, he felt that it was better to make a final decision, he said: "Hu Daxia has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and this place is very close to the Western Regions Pass, so he must have known about the recent changes in the Dahua Dynasty. Su doesn't talk nonsense, if you want to trouble Hu Daxia and your son today, please cooperate with the two of you. ”
Hu Gu stood up and said to Su Rui: "Prime Minister Su, Hu knows what King Qin needs, but the letter that can testify to Xu Zhao's sins is not on Hu, it has always been kept by Luo Yuzhu, and now Luo Yuzhu has no news, and Prime Minister Su killed Hu, and it will not help!" ”
Su Rui pressed his hand and said, "Don't hide it from Hu Daxia, Luo Yuzhu has been taken away by Xu Zhilan and made a concubine......"
The father and son of the Hu family looked at each other, but fortunately, both of them were characters who had seen strong winds and waves, but they did not exclaim that Xu Zhiyuan and others were suspicious.
"I want my Hu family to protect the orphan daughter of the Luo family from birth to death, and others are princesses, but they don't remember their kindness, and send people to look for us!" Hu Gu feigned anger.
Su Rui explained: "Hu Daxia, there is no need to mention the past! To tell the truth, although Xu Zhilan holds the world of Dahua, he is only the monarch of Dahua, you fled to the Western Regions, even if Princess Luo begged Xu Zhilan to send someone to find it, it is sparsely populated here, and there are fewer people to be sent, so it doesn't work; Thousands of people were sent over, but they were afraid of a misunderstanding between the two countries. Therefore, Princess Luo should also be powerless. ”
Hu Gu nodded in approval of Su Rui's explanation, and said: "It's me who is confused, Luo Yuzhu was raised by me, she is kind-hearted, treats my Hu family like a relative, and will never leave my Hu family alone." ”
"Yes, the little sister has been ......"
Before Hu Jiaju finished speaking, he was interrupted by Su Rui: "Okay, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it after you meet Luo Yuzhu." Now please trouble the two of you to send a message back and dedicate all the food in the cottage to the King of Qin! ”
Hu Gu said secretly: "It turns out that Xu Zhiyuan's gang is fighting the idea of food!" Regardless of whether the intercession is successful or not, the words always have to be said, he looked at Xu Zhiyuan and said: "King Qin, to be honest, in this era of war and chaos, after several sacks in Jingyang Kingdom, there are countless refugees. In Hu's cottage, there are not many grains of grain and dried meat. Even if it is all dedicated to the King of Qin, the warriors under the command of the King of Qin cannot be eaten for three days, and I hope that the King of Qin will be gracious! Let's live a life! ”
Xu Zhiyuan believed that Hu Gu was telling the truth, but now he not only had to grab food, but also consume some of his own troops, so as not to starve to death. His gaze swept over Xiao Jinyun and nodded slightly.
Xiao Jinyun understood and said loudly: "Come on, the Hu family father and son refused to obey the orders of the King of Qin, refused to hand over the grain, and arrested the Hu family father and son!" Order General Sun and General Lu to immediately send troops to attack the cottage! ”
"Please don't hurt the people in the cottage, they are all poor people who have been cornered by Jingyang State, Hu is willing to go up the mountain to persuade them to hand over the food, and ask the King of Qin to let them live!" Hu Gu immediately pleaded, he really didn't want these people to be killed by Xu Zhiyuan's people like this.
Su Rui said with a smile: "Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and King Qin doesn't want to make a big move and damage people's lives!" But Hu Daxia and Hu Gongzi are strong in martial arts, and Su is really a little worried! Come on, tie up the Hu family's father and son first! ”
The father and son of the Hu family hesitated for a moment, and understood that they were trying to kill Xu Zhiyuan, and they couldn't escape, so they gave up resistance and let Xu Zhiyuan's soldiers tie his father and son with cow tendons.
After getting the Hu family's father and son safely, Su Rui's face turned cold, and he said loudly: "Order General Sun and General Lu to lead the troops to attack immediately, and be sure to take the cottage before dawn!" ”
"Prime Minister Su, you are not troops in the Western Regions, we occupy the mountains and become bandits, and it will not affect you. Now that we are voluntarily handing over food, why are you still going to war? Hu Gu was so stunned that he angrily raised his own questions.
Xu Zhiyuan said lightly: "Because, we only need food, and we don't need too many soldiers!" ”
