Chapter 10: Mourning
As he spoke, Patriarch He Lou's face showed a bit of a threatening fierce light.
Zhao Shizhu's eyes flashed with a trace of unhappiness, but he still had a smile on his face, and said, "Patriarch He Lou, if I lead the troops to break in now, Mo Qi will investigate it, and I will lose the black yarn hat at most, but don't you think about it for the He Lou family?" If Moqi is offended ruthlessly, I am afraid that the business of the He Lou family in Mobei will be ...... in the future."
The words reached the ears of the patriarch of He Lou, and his reason, which had been completely suppressed by anger, gradually came back a little.
Shen Yan glanced back at the alley a few times, and he finally dispelled the idea of letting Zhao Shizhu immediately lead people to rush in to arrest the bandits in Qingfeng Village.
But when he thought of his son being sent back, he couldn't even save the whole corpse, but he couldn't swallow this breath.
The revenge of killing his son, how can he just forget it!
Raising his head full of gloom, the head of the He Lou family looked at Zhao Shizhu in front of him, and said in a strange voice, "Is it possible, I'll just let them go?" ”
Zhao Shizhu shook his head with a smile, moved closer to the patriarch of He Lou, lowered his voice, attached it to his ear, and whispered something.
After listening to Zhao Shizhu's words, Patriarch He Lou raised his head, with a little doubt in his eyes, and asked, "Does this method really work?" ”
Zhao Shizhu smiled confidently and said, "As long as the patriarch of He Lou does what I say, we will work together at that time, and we will definitely be able to avenge Gongzi Ling." ”
After standing in place and thinking for a long time, weighing the pros and cons, Patriarch He Lou finally relented.
He looked at Zhao Shizhu and said in a cold voice, "In this way, there will be Lord Lao Zhao." ”
With that, he turned around and left, preparing for what Zhao Shizhu had negotiated with him.
Looking at the back of the patriarch of He Lou leaving, Zhao Shizhu's eyes gradually bloomed with a sinister and calculating light.
Turning his head to look in the direction of Huitou Alley, a chilling smile gradually appeared on his face.
Three days passed in a flash, and before the sky was bright, Zhang Yu's servant Ruan Ning and Longbow were invited to Moqi's big tent by several foreign men.
In the tent, Mochi reclined on a chair covered with animal skins at the front, and on the table in front of him were freshly roasted lamb and freshly delivered mare's milk.
Not far from his lower right, a dusty man was gulping water.
Seeing Zhang Yu's servants and the three of them coming in, Mo Qi fed the roast mutton that had just been inserted into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it slowly, then turned his head to look at the big man who was drinking water, and said in a dumb voice, "Tell them the news you inquired about." ”
The big man nodded, looked at Zhang Yu's servant, and asked, "The person Your Excellency is looking for, but is the little county lord of the Xue Yantuo tribe, Yili Tama?" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Yufu's mood instantly became excited, his eyes lit up as he looked at the big man, and asked eagerly, "But there's news?" ”
The big man stopped talking, and looked up at Mochi, who was slowly slicing the roast lamb.
As if he hadn't noticed his gaze, Mochi lowered his head and played with the short knife in his hand intently.
The big man let out a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Zhang Yufu, and said, "Three years ago, the Xue Yantuo tribe was attacked by an unknown army, and almost the entire clan was wiped out. The little county lord Yili Tama was taken away, but because he escaped at night, he was found with several swords in his body and fell off a cliff. ”
Hearing this, the excitement and joy on Zhang Yu's face disappeared in an instant, and a pair of angry eyes looked at the big man in disbelief, and shouted angrily, "Impossible! When pigs fly! There must be something wrong with your message, there's absolutely no way she's ......"
Seeing that Zhang Yufu was a little crazy, Ruan Ning sighed, stepped forward, and comforted softly, "You calm down first......
However, before Ruan Ning's words were finished, Zhang Yufu turned to glare at her and roared angrily, "How can you calm me down, I have been looking for her in the desert for three whole years, just to take her home." But now she tells me that she had ...... three years ago It's already ......"
The word "body death", Zhang Yufu used all his strength and never said it.
He is the son of the governor Shi of Youzhou, who is in charge of garrisoning the Xue Yantuo tribe, and his mother is a member of the Xue Yantuo tribe, because of this, he has known the little county lord of the Xue Yantuo tribe since he was a child.
The two of them had no guesses about their childhood sweethearts, and a few years ago they agreed that when she grew up, he would marry her home like his father married his mother.
However, before she could grow up, an accident happened.
The Xue Yantuo tribe was raided, and the dead and wounded were killed, and his father also died on the battlefield because he couldn't wait for reinforcements.
And he, because he was sent away by his father's men on a fast horse at a critical moment, knew nothing more than the scar on the face of the leader of the army.
When he finally escaped his father's subordinates and quietly returned, he saw a wasteland burned by fire and countless corpses of familiar faces.
Those faces, not long ago, were singing and dancing with him around the bonfire, telling him the legendary stories of the desert and the grassland, but in the blink of an eye, they had become charred corpses, full of terror, and they did not blink to death.
At that time, he used all his strength to bury the bodies of his parents, family and those acquaintances in the depths of the desert, but he did not see the body of Yili Tama.
For a moment, a great hope enveloped him.
The absence of Elizama's body means that she is still alive. As long as she is alive, no matter what the price he pays, he will get her back. As long as they find Elizama, they may be able to know who their enemy is! At that time, he will be able to avenge his parents and family.
It is precisely because of this belief that in the past three years, he has traveled to every city in the desert and inquired about all the places he could inquire.
But he never thought that in the end, the only time he heard the news of Yili Tama was his death!
How can he accept such a result!
Zhang Yufu squatted down, buried his face in the palm of his hand, and trembled slightly, showing his unwillingness.
Ruan Ning stepped forward, gently patted Zhang Yu's shoulder, and said, "Mourn." ”
The big man who brought the news was a man from Mochi, and what he said was certainly true.
Although she didn't know how hard this news would hit Zhang Yufu, she felt very uncomfortable looking at him like that. opened her mouth, wanting to say something comforting, but after opening her mouth, she felt that it was inappropriate to say anything, and in desperation, she could only say the two painless words "mourning".
After a long time, Zhang Yufu's mood gradually calmed down, slowly stood up, nodded at Moqi and the big man who brought the news, thanked him, and then turned to leave.
The news he wanted had already been heard, and there was no point in staying here any longer.
Seeing Zhang Yu's servant leaving, Ruan Ning saluted Moqi and followed.
Watching the three of them walk away, the big man looked up at Mochi and asked with some hesitation, "Sir, just let them go?" Things in Qingfeng Village ......"
Mochi fed the sliced roast lamb into his mouth and chewed it slowly. After a long time, he said softly, "What the big boss of Qingfeng Village promised in person will not change." ”
Xu thought of something, Moqi's meat-cutting hand paused, looked at the big man, and said softly, "Send someone to keep an eye on them, don't let them have an accident in Xicheng." ”
The big man nodded, bowed respectfully to Mochi, and turned to leave the tent.
In a short time, the three of them walked out through the inconspicuous small door.
Outside the small door, the people in the alley turned around and saw the three of them, and the curiosity in their eyes became more and more.
Ruan Ning glanced at the longbow, then he nodded and headed towards an exit.
"You ......" Ruan Ning looked at Zhang Yufu, who was obviously much weaker, and stopped talking.
A few moments later, Zhang Yufu's hoarse voice came, "It's nothing." ”
Ruan Ning sighed and asked again, "What are you going to do next?" ”
Zhang Yufu stopped, looked up at the sky, and suddenly felt a little more confused on his face.
"If you haven't thought about it, just follow me to Qingfeng Village!" Ruan Ning's voice gently drifted into his ears.
He turned his head to look at Ruan Ning, and the look in his eyes was a little complicated. His lips moved slightly, as if he was about to say something, but as if he had not organized his words, he did not speak.
Ruan Ning smiled heartily, looked at Zhang Yufu, and said half-seriously and half-jokingly, "In order to help you, I promised thirty percent of Qingfeng Village's income to go out." You have to find a way to pay off this account! ”
Hearing this, Zhang Yufu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "Done!" I'll go back to Qingfeng Village with you to pay off your debts! ”
As the two of them spoke, the longbow that had gone to inquire walked briskly.
Raising his eyes to see the atmosphere between the two, Zhang Gong said in a low voice, "The people guarding outside have withdrawn, and there are still a few fast horses on the west side, which are estimated to have been prepared by Moqi." ”
Ruan Ning nodded and said, "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go back to Qingfeng Village first." ”
The three of them looked left and right, and after finding nothing unusual, they headed towards the west exit of Huitou Lane.
With Moqi's escort, the three of them easily left Xicheng, spurred their horses, and headed all the way in the direction of Qingfeng Village in Broken Soul Mountain.
Just as the three of them left from the west exit of Huitou Lane, an uninvited guest came to another entrance of Huitou Lane.
The man walked to the inconspicuous small door in the depths of Huitou Alley, looked at the strong man guarding the door, and said with a smile, "Please pass it on, Xicheng County ordered Zhao Shizhu to ask to see him." ”
The strong man at the door glanced at Zhao Shizhu, who was wearing civilian clothes, and did not go to pass the word like Ruan Ning and the three of them did when they came, but said directly, "Follow me." ”
Zhao Shizhu straightened his sleeves, followed behind the strong man, and walked into the small door with his feet raised.
Not long after, Zhao Shizhu, who quietly left from Huitou Alley, returned to the mansion with a team of soldiers and went straight out of the city.
