Li Yan said: "But if this is not the case, why did Ziyi confess?" Why did Fan Xiang take him into custody? Why was he rescued? If he is really innocent, he can make it clear in front of the whole army. ”

King Qin said: "This matter can't be investigated further, and Bai Qi can't be chased and killed, everything will not be clear until he comes back." Li Yan said: "Do you think he will come back?" King Qin sneered: "Bai Qi has never lost a battle in his life, if he is wronged, he will definitely seek his innocence, and if he is not wronged, he will definitely lead his troops to take revenge." Bai Qi is not a person who is willing to be depressed and live a peaceful life. ”

Wang Jian nodded: "The king is right, as long as Bai Qi comes back, this matter will definitely come to light." ”

King Qin was a little uneasy in his heart, he didn't know where Bai had gone, and he didn't know if he could come back!

In fact, Bai Qi has never left Shaanxi, since he was rescued by Wu Xinlan that day and sent out of Huayin City, he rode alone and began to wander in the wilderness. Some are aimless, because he is real, and has nowhere to go.

Bai Qi has a strong ability to survive since he was a child and is very assertive, so it is not difficult for a person to make a living in the wild. He walked westward for two days without encountering the separated Qin army, and at this time he had a whim, why not go back to his hometown to have a look?

His hometown is Meixian County, Shaanxi, three hundred miles west of Xianyang, and it is only five or six hundred miles away from where he is now, and if you ride a horse, you can reach it in seven days. Since the Warring States Period, he has led his troops to fight, and he has rarely returned to his hometown, and I don't know what it has been like there for more than a thousand years.

Thinking of this, he finally had a goal, so he cheered up and urged the horse to go.

Three days later, he went to Xi'an, went into the city to buy some dry food, and changed a good horse, and then set off for Meixian.

Along the way, he paid attention to the people's feelings and found that the disasters in the land of Shaanxi were far from the past, and many villages and towns were either looted by thieves or looted by officials and soldiers. When he passed through some villages, hungry people came to rob and kill him, and he was quick to start his horse in vain, and his martial arts were good, but the hungry people did not succeed.

In the afternoon of that day, he rushed to the eastern foot of Taibai Mountain, which was not far from Meixian County.

For this mountain, Bai Qi is still familiar, this mountain in the era in which he lived, the folk commonly known as Taiyi Mountain, according to legend, there are Taiyi real people to practice here. At this time, Bai Qi immediately went down the mountain, looked at the mountain, but saw the peaks and shows, the columns of rocks towered and green, the mountain has winter snow, such as the old man Baitou, the ancient path is deep, the pines and cypresses are dense, the long stream reflects the belt, the birds are singing, it is really like a fairyland.

1,800 years later, reborn in the world, seeing the familiar landscape, the mood of whiteness, I really don't know what kind of pen and ink to write.

As he watched, he hurried his horse down the mountain path, looking left and right.

After walking for less than ten miles, I suddenly heard a shout of killing in the distance.

In such a quiet mountain forest, how can there be a shout of killing? Bai Qi perked up, urged a high post on the horse, and raised his eyes.

I saw that on a large hillside a few miles away from the gang, there was a group of people around, ho ho and screaming, roughly counting, about a hundred people, in front of these people, is a stone fort, built on the hillside, the stone wall is very high, the stone gate is also very heavy, at this time the people outside the fort are fighting, the people outside the fort climb the ladder to attack inward, the people in the fort climb the stone wall, rely on the battlement to resist.

Bai Qi looked at it for a while and smiled dumbly.

It turned out that the attacking side were all ordinary people, and most of the things in their hands were not weapons, but hoes and shovels used for farming, and the defenders had some weapons, but obviously there was no martial arts, just a mess of fighting, and the scene looked chaotic and disorganized.

Needless to say, this is a gang of hungry people robbing.

At that time, it was very common for hungry people to join forces and rob the rich. Due to the great chaos in the north, the prefecture and county are often broken by peasant armies and thieves, although the rich families in the city have the city outline as a barrier, but once the city is broken, they can't escape if they want to, often the whole family is destroyed, and the money is robbed. So these rich people began to stay away from the state capital, find some secluded and not very remote mountainous areas, build forts, hoard food and treasure, and recruit men and horses to defend them. Due to the remoteness, the peasant army did not come to attack, so it was safer. It's just that there are often small groups of hungry people who come to harass them, asking for money and food, and if they don't give them, they come to attack.

This is a case in point.

Bai Qi has nothing to do left and right, so he immediately watches from a distance, and he is happy.

The hungry people in the distance attacked for a long time, but they didn't attack it, they were cut and wounded more than a dozen people, retreated, and gathered around to discuss, Bai Qi was watching, but unexpectedly there were five or six people around him, holding a hoe in his hand, and suddenly jumped over and hooked Bai Qi's shoulder, and pulled him down sharply, pulling him down to the ground.

As soon as Bai Qi wanted to stand up, the men pounced upward, held him down with all hands and feet, and then grabbed the knife from his waist, and did not tie him, and the four people grabbed him by the arm and escorted him down the hill. The other man pulled his horse and followed.

In fact, it was easy for Bai Qi to break free from these people, but he sincerely wanted to see the jokes of these hungry people, so he did not resist. He had already thought that if the other party wanted to kill him, he could break free from the other party in the blink of an eye, get on his horse and escape.

The group came to the foot of the hill, where the group of hungry people was deliberating, forming a large circle, in the middle of which a few people were sitting, and it seemed that they were the leader.

One of them saw a stranger brought in by them, so he asked from a distance, "Zhang Laosan, who are you arresting?" ”

The leader named Zhang Laosan replied: "The second master, this bastard is a scout from the government, looking at us from a distance, laughing while watching, just like watching a monkey." ”

The second master said: "Bring in, bring in." Let's try it first. ”

Several people escorted Bai Qi into the circle, and one shouted: "Let him kneel, let him kneel......" The four people holding Bai Qi's arm pressed him down hard together, but they didn't move at all, Bai Qi smiled and said: "If you want to ask, just ask, this is not a court, what are you kneeling down?" ”

The second boss haha: "This guy is not afraid of death, he must be an outlaw." Big brother, we have to kill his majesty first, otherwise we won't be honest. ”

The one called the eldest brother looked like he was in his thirties, with a rough face, a hard and thick beard, and big round eyes, and when he stared at him, he was still quite scary. At this time, he waved his hand: "No need to kneel, there are more than 100 of us, are you afraid that he will run away?" ”

He came to Bai Qi and glared at him: "Let me ask you, what are you doing?" Did you come here to report to the fort? ”

Bai Qi smiled faintly: "I was passing by, and I happened to run into it, so I took a few more looks." ”

The rough man circled around Bai Qi, took a closer look at his dress, and believed seven points, but he still didn't fully believe it, so he asked the person holding him: "Have you searched your body?" ”

One said: "Brother Yu, we have searched it, and all he has on him is this knife, and this burden, there are some broken silver, dry food, clothes, and that's all there is in the baggage." ”

The rough man said: "It seems that he is really a passerby, which is rude." Then he waved his hand and let a few people go.

Don't look at this man's fierce appearance, but he is still quite reasonable.

Bai Qi moved his arm and said, "Can I go?" The rough man said, "You can go." Bai Qi looked at his things: "Okay, return the horses, the single knife, and the burden to me." ”

The rough man snorted and laughed: "I'm sorry, I can't pay you back." We can use all these objects, so we borrowed them first. Bai Qi frowned: "Borrowed?" When will it be returned? The rough man pointed to the stone fort: "When we have conquered Changjia Fort, we will return it to you." ”

Bai Qi pouted: "Conquer this fort?" Hey hey ......"

The rough man was stunned: "Don't you believe it?" We have a hundred and fifty or seventy people here, and there are only fifty or sixty in the fort, and we are afraid that we will not be able to take them? ”

Bai Qi nodded again and again: "Naturally, you can take it, and when the people in the fort are starving to death, you can take it down." It's just that I don't know if they starved to death first, or if you starved to death first. ”
