Chapter 269: The Old Man Pours Wine
Wang Hou is not flattering Hou Shigui, but admiring from the bottom of his heart.
In the past few days of interrogation, he and Xiang Xu personally took turns to supervise.
The tragic situation in the torture room, even if he was a spectator, he couldn't stand it, thinking that if he was interrogated like this, he was afraid that he would even be able to explain the shit of peeping at other people's baths when he was a child?
But in such an interrogation, these Yuwen family members would rather die than tell where their family's property was hidden.
Wang Hou also knew that those properties were their last life-saving capital, and after they were escorted to Jingshi, even His Majesty might have to covet their property.
So they won't say it when they are killed.
When Hou Shigui heard this, he shook his head and said:
"It's nothing more than a few sets of psychological offense and defense, which is not worthy of Mr. Wang's praise."
Psychological offense and defense? What's that?
Wang Hou didn't know why, but now was not the time to ask.
Those Yuwen family members sat on the ground and cried for a while, and when they saw that the Jinyi guard next to them was still unmoved, then someone shouted at Hou Shigui with a desperate face:
"Commander! You spare my life, I know where the treasure trove is at home!! ”
Hearing this, Hou Shigui nodded and said:
"Okay, you don't have to dig, the others can keep digging."
Hearing this, how could the rest of the Yuwen family be willing, even Yuwen Hongguang who was not afraid of heaven and earth opened his mouth and shouted:
"Get out of here! If you know, there will be an old man who knows! The old man is the head of the family, where is the treasure house in the family, which one can know better than the old man?! ”
Seeing that these people were scrambling to explain where the treasure house was, Hou Shigui didn't have the patience to continue looking here, and turned his head to Wang Hou and said.
took Bao Ji and the others and left.
On the way back to Qinggang, Jiang Yong hit his horse to Hou Shigui and said:
"Childe, there is a horse following far behind, but you have to set up an ambush to catch him?"
That ride is not only seen by Hou Shigui, but even Xiang Xu and others have seen it.
Hou Shigui shook his head and said:
"That's it, there's no need for this, you set up a table on the road, put some good wine, and wait on both sides, and I'll wait here for her to come up."
Then the Jinyi guards were divided into two columns, standing far away on both sides of the road and waiting, even Xiang Xu left.
Hou Shigui turned over and dismounted, sat down on the table, and put out two cups, first pouring the cup in front of him full of rice wine, and then pouring the cup opposite.
It was only at this time that the rider slowly walked to Hou Shigui.
Qin Luan sat alone on the horse, compared with Chu Jingyi, Qin Luan's face at this moment was a little more vicissitudes.
He looked down and saw Hou Shigui's appearance, and asked curiously:
"You will tear them apart, not afraid that I will kill you?"
Hou Shigui looked up at Qin Luan, who was covered in dust, and said softly:
"Miss Qin traveled thousands of miles, and she came to save me in the stars and the moon, why did she kill me again?"
Qin Luan turned over and dismounted, holding the long sword and slowly walked to Hou Shigui:
"You dog thief, you can't be too self-conscious, aren't you? How do you know that I am here to save you? ”
Hou Shigui smiled lightly, picked up the wine glass and saluted Qin Luan:
"Starry night, cold and freezing, and drink a glass of rice wine to warm up."
As soon as I drank the wine in the cup, a warm current went straight from my throat to my stomach, and most of the chill immediately dissipated, which was extremely comfortable.
Qin Luan saw that she didn't answer her words, and it happened that she was a little cold at the moment, so she picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all.
Seeing this, Hou Shigui smiled:
"Why don't you try the poison first? Aren't you afraid that I've poisoned you? ”
This time it was Qin Luan's turn to answer the question.
She glanced at the vague outline of the port city in the distance, and muttered to herself:
"The bandit and the little girl ran away, I've been looking for them all these days, have they come to you for revenge?"
Hou Shigui thought for a while and replied:
"Probably not, they're all that age, they shouldn't die like this."
After that, Hou Shigui sighed faintly again:
"But what I didn't expect was that when Hou was in a desperate situation, the vast world and all living beings, who could travel thousands of miles to save Hou from the stars and the moon, was actually the Feihong Sword Qin Heroine who was determined to kill Hou to thank the world."
Is he the only one to save him?
I didn't expect him to be as lonely as himself:
"Pour the wine."
Qin Luan was not polite, and after Hou Shigui finished pouring the wine, he picked up the cup and drank it all.
Hou Shigui didn't want to say more to her, the two just quietly watched the fall of Qinggang City in the distance, drinking rice wine one after another.
It wasn't until the sky was about to get dark and a pot of wine ran out that Qin Luan turned his head and glanced at Hou Shigui:
"Don't ask me to catch you and do bad things again in the future, the mountains and rivers are far away, and I will leave."
Qin Luan raised his sword and was about to leave, but he heard Hou Shigui's voice coming from behind him:
"In the future, if you encounter uneven trouble, you can go to Xiling Linben, that is, the world will attack, and when you get to Linben, I can also keep you safe."
"I don't need to!"
Qin Luan threw down such a sentence angrily, and then got on the horse and left.
Looking at Qin Luan's back as he walked away, Hou Shigui sighed, he didn't think that she was the only one to save himself......
But if you think about it carefully, this world is full of people who want to kill themselves, and there is still one person who can ignore the turmoil of the world and want to go into the army of ten thousand armies alone to save himself, and he is quite lucky.
After returning to Qinggang, Hou Shigui went to the room where Yu Wenhao was held.
Outside the room, the two brocade-clothed guards saw the commander coming, and after saluting, they opened the door.
After Hou Shigui entered, Yu Wenhao, who was sitting in a daze on the chair, looked up at him.
After a few days of cultivation, Yu Wenhao can say something, but his voice is extremely hoarse, and he must not be able to recover in this life:
"How's the Southern Expeditionary Army?"
Still thinking about the Southern Expeditionary Army, Hou Shigui turned around and closed the door and sat opposite Yu Wenhao:
"They have all unloaded their weapons and are stationed in the camp, and it is not long before His Majesty's will comes.
But don't worry, since I have promised to do my best to protect the Southern Expeditionary Army, I will not break my promise, but you, General Yuwen, are you willing? ”
"Am I willing??"
Yu Wenhao sat on the chair and laughed as if he had heard some extremely ridiculous joke, and tears flowed down:
"How about willingness? What if you are unwilling? The defeat of the Southern Expedition is a foregone conclusion, and the rebellion of the Yuwen family is also a foregone conclusion.
What can I do now, even if I can't calm down? ”
Hou Shigui shook his head and said:
"General Yuwen, you are a great talent, and the defeat of the Southern Expedition is not your sin, but the crime of the family that is rampant in the world!!
On that day, I said that I would return the world to the people of the world, would General Yuwen be interested in hearing it? ”
Seeing that Hou Shigui's old matter was brought up again, Yu Wenhao sighed lightly:
"What do you mean?"
Out of the room, Hou Shigui said to the brocade guard outside the door:
"Yu Wenhao has committed suicide in fear of sin, and he will ask him to collect the body."
Suicide in fear of sin? The two brocade guards panicked, did not dare to delay, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the mansion.
