147 Exodus (2)
Qi Tai and Qi An heard the shouts from behind, and they were so frightened that they quickly slipped off their horses, only Qin Luo sat on the horse, motionless. He looked at the visitor with a calm face, and asked solemnly, "Why did you arrest us?" ”
The leader said: "We suspect that there are captives of Nanchu among you. Check it out! ”
"There are only three of us, and those two are my guards." Qin Luo Nunu mouthed and said without fear, "You can check it casually." ”
In fact, as early as when they were talking, that leader was already observing Qin Luo and the three of them. Looking at their faces, the two guards were indeed Xiang Qiang, not Southern Chu. To confirm, he walked up to Chitai and Ki-saddle and asked sharply, "Who are you two?" ”
Qi Tai looked inexplicable, and said in confusion: "We are Lord Qin's guards, my name is Qi Tai, and he is my younger brother Qi An." ”
"Guards?" The leader asked, "Where was it before?" ”
"In the past, we were the guards of the Golden Palace, if you don't believe it, you can go and check." Qi Saddle said with a huff.
Could it be that the information is wrong? The leader didn't dare to let Qin Luo go easily, so he asked, "Lord Qin, why did you get up in the morning and hurry, where do you want to go?" ”
"It's just a walk outside the city." Qin Luo replied indifferently.
The leader obviously didn't believe it, and he said coldly: "The Great Master asked us to take Lord Qin back to the Golden Palace, and asked the Lord to cooperate." Please. ”
After all, someone brought handcuffs, obviously meaning detained. Qi Tai and Qi An looked at each other, not knowing what big mistake Qin Luo had made, and he was actually going to be escorted to the Golden Palace.
And the two brothers are not much better. Those people also locked up the two brothers, Qitai and Qi'an, and let them call their father and scold their mother, and they would not let them go.
Qin Luo and the three of them were escorted until it was dark, and they returned to Danyang City. Along the way, they were watched by the people, pointing fingers, where did the two brothers, Qitai and Qian, have been so insulted. They have been soldiers in the military camp since they were children, and later went to the Golden Palace to guard, who dared to look down on them in Xiang Qiang. But now because of Qin Luo's involvement, he has to encounter such an unwarranted disaster.
And Qin Luo, since he was captured by Xiang Qiang, has suffered too many unbearable encounters, and he doesn't care anymore. He doesn't care what other unrelated people think, everything is from his heart, he will only do what he thinks is right.
When Qin Luo was escorted to the Golden Palace, it was already late at night. Tuoba Sheng and several other clan relatives did not sleep, and were still waiting for Qin Luo in the main hall. Seeing Qin Luo come in, the soldiers kicked him to his knees at once, like a prisoner and a criminal, kneeling without dignity to be trained.
Qin Luo said angrily: "Why are you doing this to me? I am an official appointed by the Khan, and I am in charge of the internal affairs of Xiang Qiang, and you have no right to do this to me. ”
"Hehe, you are a native of Southern Chu, and you still want to control our Xiang Qiang's internal affairs?" An old clan with white hair sneered, "Qin Luo, you weigh your own weight. We are just looking at the Khan's face and treating you well. Otherwise, you are in Xiangqiang, no different from those slaves. ”
"Ahem, ahem." The Great Master Tuoba Sheng coughed to stop the person's nonsense, and he asked calmly, "Qin Luo, someone suspects that you are secretly hiding the Southern Chu general Feng Rubing and helping him escape. We invited you here to ask, but is there such a thing? ”
"Feng Rubing?" Qin Luo smiled, "I don't know this person at all, why should I help him escape." You have already captured my two guards, the great master can take a good look, which of these two is Feng Rubing? ”
These two guards are also kneeling at the Highness at this moment. Tuoba Sheng had already seen it clearly, and neither of these two people was Feng Rubing. However, the other Tuoba clan relative couldn't help but roared loudly: "Qin Luo, don't quibble, even if you didn't take Feng Rubing to escape, you would definitely hide him." Tell me honestly, where did you hide Feng Rubing?
When Qin Luo heard this, he smiled coldly, "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse." ”
"Great Master, I think Qin Luo should be arrested and tortured. I don't believe that the interrogation can't find out Feng Rubing's whereabouts. Someone suggested.
"Qin Luo is such a hard bone, if you don't fight, you won't explain." Another person said, "I agree to keep Qin Luo in custody. ”
"This ......" Tuoba Sheng was a little dilemma, he didn't want to detain Qin Luo without any evidence. Otherwise, in the future, they will not have a tenable position. Clans and Khans may be disliked because of this.
"Wait." At this time, a voice came from outside the door, and I saw a woman directly pushing open the door and breaking into the main hall.
But everyone present did not dare to be rude to her, and they stood up and greeted: "Yelkodun, why are you here?" ”
"You're making such a fuss in the Golden Palace, can I still sleep?" Ye Leyi turned to look at Qin Luo, "Isn't this Lord Qin, whom the Khan respects the most, why is he kneeling here and still locked?" ”
"Qin Luo is suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and we are interrogating." Tuoba Sheng said.
"How could Lord Qin collaborate with the enemy?" Ye Leyi pretended to be surprised and said, "Lord Qin is highly valued by the Khan, and when the Khan is away, he handled Xiang Qiang's internal affairs in an orderly manner, such a meritorious man, how can you suspect him of collaborating with the enemy?" ”
"Yele Kedun, you don't know, not long ago, the Khan captured a Chu general Feng Rubing, but not long after he arrived in Danyang City, he was robbed." One of the clan relatives explained to "Yeletan".
"Feng Rubing was robbed, what does it have to do with Lord Qin?" Yele Yiqi said, "As far as I know, Lord Qin doesn't know martial arts, can he still go to rob the prison as a scholar?" ”
"But in the morning, Qin Luo ran south with two guards, not knowing what to do." Another person said, "I suspect that Qin Luo wants to go to Nanchu and ...... Go to the ventilation and report the news. ”
Ye Leyi was about to be defeated by the logic of this group of fools, even if Qin Luo wanted to report the news, he didn't have to go in person. Moreover, he was accompanied by two Xiang Qiang's guards, and at first glance, he was not going to ventilate the news. Ye Leyi mocked in her heart, this group of old antiques, I really don't know if they are so old that they can't even turn their brains.
Ye Leyi didn't bother to talk to those fools, turned his head and asked Tuoba Sheng: "Great Master, what do you think?" ”
Tuoba Sheng also knew that the speculation of the news was ridiculous. He touched his gray beard, glanced at Qin Luo, and said to "Ye Lekedun, even if Qin Luo didn't go to ventilate and report the news, it is possible that he deliberately confuses us and gives Feng Rubing a chance to escape." Qin Luo may know Feng Rubing's whereabouts, and interrogation is still necessary. ”
"Leave this matter to us, Jellekotun, and we will definitely find a result."
Ye Leyi glanced at Qin Luo and saw that he still had an indifferent expression, as if he didn't care about their "interrogation", but Ye Leyi knew how dirty Xiang Qiang's cell was, and the so-called "interrogation" was nothing more than torture. In the end, he couldn't survive the punishment, and what a mess of things, he could recruit all. Even if he is a strong man, he can't stand Xiang Qiang's torture.
Qin Luo didn't seem to care about being punished, but Ye Leyi couldn't ignore him, she argued with reason, "I'm a woman, so I shouldn't care about these things." But the Khan put me in charge of the Golden Palace, and I had to take care of it. Qin Luo is the person in charge of internal affairs appointed by the Khan, if you arrest him, who will be responsible for Xiang Qiang's internal affairs? ”
"Naturally, the great teachers are responsible." Someone said.
"Old man, where are you in charge of these trivial matters?" Tuoba Sheng refused, "It's still Yelekodun in charge." ”
"Where would I get this stuff?" Ye Leyi said modestly, "I suggest that you can send someone to take care of Lord Qin, but the government affairs cannot be delayed." It's better to put Qin Luo under house arrest, what do you think, Great Master? ”
"It's fine." Tuoba Sheng felt that this was the best of both worlds, so he agreed, "What Yele Kodun said is very true, so do what Kodun says." ”
After the great master and other clan relatives left, in the main hall of the Golden Palace, only Qin Luo and Ye Leyi remained. Qin Luo got up and looked at the woman in front of him lightly, although she stood up for him, he didn't appreciate this behavior. Qin Luo said: "Your sister won't care about this kind of thing. ”
"Yes, my sister is well-behaved, how dare she go against the clan. However, I'm not my sister, and I can't just watch them capture you. Yereyi said.
Faced with such a Yeleyi, Qin Luo was a little at a loss. He smiled, "Why do you bother, in case you expose yourself......"
"I'd rather expose myself than sit idly by." Ye Leyi knew that Qin Luo had entered the stone prison in Danyang City and had also been tortured by Xiang Qiang. She knew that Qin Luo might not care, but she cared, she didn't want Qin Luo to step into the stone prison of Danyang City again.
Qin Luo couldn't believe that a person like Ye Leyi, who was scheming and calculated the gains and losses clearly, would take risks in order to suffer less for himself. Do she know that if she does this, she may be seen through by the shrewd great master. When the time comes, everything will fall short, and the dreams of the Chishui tribe and the safety of her and the Yele family will be ruined.
However, the facts are in front of him, and Yeleyi is really like this, desperate to stand up. Qin Luo felt that his heart had been hit hard, and in the depths of his heart, a storm was set off.
Qin Luo was silent, they had no future. As an intermediary, one wrong step will never be recovered. He may be in a high position today, his identity will be exposed in the future, and there is only one death waiting for Qin Luo. What's more, Ye Leyi is a Xiangqiang person, and Qin Luo is a Chu person. How could various countries and nations before them be together?
As early as the moment Qin Luo joined the intermediary organization, he was ready to live a lonely life. He doesn't want to be emotional to anyone, but love is like this, it comes suddenly, and he can't stop it. He could only remain silent, hoping that Yereyi would also come to his senses.
But where would Ye Leyi be like Qin Luo, with so many concerns? She smiled: "Qin Luo, I seem to like you a little." Don't worry, as long as you don't admit it, I won't let them arrest you. Recently, you don't want to contact Nan Chu for the time being, hide in the tent and avoid the limelight. ”
“…… Good. You also have to be careful. Qin Luo didn't expect that Ye Leyi would say the word "like" so naturally, as if it was as ordinary as talking about the weather. It's a pity that he can't make any response.
