Chapter VI

Just when Yiguang and the others were escorted into the city, Fan Li also rushed to Ramie Village, which was already uninhabited, only a broken wall and the pear blossom tree remained.

Fan Li searched all over the village, but never saw Yiguang, anxious and worried, Shi Gong died for him, but he couldn't even protect Shi Gong's only bloodline, it was really useless!

When leaving Ramie Village in despair, I accidentally heard the voice of a woman crying, could it be ...... Is it Miss Shi?

Thinking of this, Fan Li hurriedly ran in the direction where the voice came from, and saw several Wu Jun tearing a woman's clothes with a lewd smile, wanting to do something wrong.

Poor woman, although she resisted desperately, she was still torn to the ground, revealing a large area of snow-white skin, and if she continued like this, she would inevitably be innocent.

Fan Li's mind turned, he already had an idea, he grabbed a handful of grass ash and smeared it on his face, and then ran to the soldiers, and said eagerly: "Why are you still here, the Vietnamese army is almost here." ”

"The Vietnamese army?" The soldiers looked at Fan Li in surprise, then laughed, and said mockingly: "The Yue Kingdom has long since died, where is there any Vietnamese army, but you, where did you come from?" ”

Fan Li pretended to be anxious and said: "I was sent by Xiangguo Gong, and I was ordered to patrol here, but I encountered a group of Vietnamese troops, thinking that it was the remnants of the army that fled before, there were more than 100 people, and they almost died, but fortunately they ran fast." ”

Seeing that he said something similar, the soldier couldn't help but believe a little, "Really? ”

"What did I lie to you, it's true...... True! With this word, a cold light flashed in his palm, and before he could see it, the cold light had already crossed in a circle, and after a brief pause, the soldiers fell straight back, until they fell to the ground, and blood gushed out from the wound in their necks.

The woman had never seen such a scene, and she was so frightened that she couldn't possess her body, and it took a while for her to come to her senses, "Thank you Gongzi for saving me." ”

"I've disturbed the girl." Fan Li put the willow leaf dagger into his sleeve, and then took off his coat and put it on the ragged woman, "I take the liberty of asking, is the girl's surname Shi?" ”

The woman shook her head and said, "My surname is Yu, and my name is Ah Luo." ”

Seeing that she was not Shi Gong's daughter, Fan Li was disappointed for a while, this Ah Luo was also careful, seeing his appearance, he guessed a few points in his heart, "Childe is looking for someone?" ”

Fan Li nodded, "Looking for the daughter of an old man." ”

Ah Luo thought for a moment and said: "In the past few days, Wu Jun has been searching for beauties everywhere, but all those who have a little appearance have been arrested, saying that they are going to be dedicated to King Wu, and the girl that Gongzi is looking for is likely to have also been arrested by them." ”

"Damn!" Fan Li slammed his fist on the trunk of the tree, his punch was extremely hard, and blood slowly flowed down his fingers.

The kingdom of Yue was destroyed, the king was taken into captivity, and he could not do anything; Now the fate of Shi Gong's only daughter is unknown, and there is nothing he can do......

Fan Li, Fan Li, when did you become so useless!

Ah Luo was startled by his hideous appearance, and whispered, "You...... Are you okay? ”

Fan Li took a deep breath, put away the loss and hatred in his heart, and said lightly: "It's okay, you go and find your family." ”

Ah Luo laughed at herself: "From the moment I was sold into a brothel by my father, I had no family, and I was the only one. ”

Fan Li didn't expect such an answer, and said apologetically: "Offended." ”

"It doesn't matter." Ah Luo smiled and said, "Childe wants to go into the city to save that Miss Shi?" ”

Fan Li smiled bitterly: "The girl thinks that with my own strength, can I make it happen?" ”

Ah Luo was also direct, and said directly: "No, it will be sent to death in vain." ”

Fan Li looked up to the sky and sighed, and said astringently: "Although I am not afraid of death, I can't die, at least not now, hopefully...... She can be safe. ”

The "she" in Fan Li's mouth refers to Yiguang, although he is worried about Yiguang's safety, but he is responsible for restoring the country, and he is not qualified to risk himself.

Fan Li is sober and knows what he should do and what he shouldn't do.

Sober, so painful!

Fan Li suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and arched his hand towards A Luo: "Don't leave it here, the girl is precious." ”

Looking at Fan Li, who turned over and got on the horse, Ah Luo felt a little reluctant in her heart, "Haven't you asked the son's name yet?" ”

"Pingshui's edge, don't say the name." After that, Fan Li rode away on horseback, leaving behind a lost Aluo.

Fan Li did not go to Yuedu, but rushed all the way to Wu State, whether it was the king or Yiguang, they would all be escorted to Wu State, so if they wanted to save them, they had to go to Wu State.

Moreover, in the Wu Kingdom, there is a chess piece that he has buried a long time ago, and now it is finally time to use it.

On the palace city, a figure watched from afar at the capital of Yue Guo at dusk and sunset, and the evening breeze blew, blowing his wide robe from time to time, as if he wanted to ride the wind away.

Gongsun Li stopped behind him and said respectfully: "I don't know what the Duke of Xiangguo urgently summoned to come to the lowly position, what are his orders?" ”

Wu Zixu turned around slowly, his eyes were cold and cold that was incompatible with this quiet and good time, and Gongsun Li didn't dare to raise his head, "The old man heard that General Gongsun recently helped Lord Dazai do a good errand." ”

Gongsun Li was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Humble duty deserves death, please Xiangguo Gong punish the crime." ”

Wu Zixu raised his gray eyebrows, and said compassionately: "Lord Gongsun now has the support of Lord Dazai, how dare the old man punish you." ”

Gongsun Li didn't dare to raise his head, and said hurriedly: "I know that I deserve to die, but everything I do is for Xiangguogong, and there is no insincerity." ”

On Miyagi, there was a sudden silence, even the wind stopped, and this dead silence made Gongsun Li uneasy, and his nails involuntarily scratched at the dirt on the ground.

"How many Yue girls have been arrested?"

Gongsun Li cautiously replied, "There are more than 100 in total." ”

"It's a lot." Wu Zixu said lightly and said: "Two days later, the king will return to Gusu, and these Yue girls will naturally take it with them, but the old man doesn't want them to live in Gusu, let alone have a chance to get close to the king, understand?" ”

Gongsun was taken aback, and subconsciously raised his head, "Xiangguo Gong wants to ......"

"It will be to Gusu, hundreds of miles, enough for you to find a way." Wu Zixu said lightly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, not more than a hundred living lives.

The Yue women were divided into six carts, each with about 20 people, and were locked up like livestock in small prison carts, which were so crowded that there was hardly a place to stay.

Yiguang has been weak since childhood, although Shi Gong has been looking through medical books and trying his best to regulate her, he has never been able to be like a normal person, and he will be pale and uncomfortable in his chest when he is tired.

Since she was arrested by Wu Jun, she has never slept peacefully, and now she is squeezed into this small prison car, her chest is tight, she can't even breathe, and she can't help but sit down.

The prisoner car was too small, and although Yiguang tried his best to restrain himself, he still squeezed into a few Yue women next to him, causing them to be unhappy, and one of them even reprimanded: "You look like this, how are we standing, isn't it enough to squeeze enough?" ”

Her voice was very high-pitched, as if a needle was pricking her ear, and she said with difficulty: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, really...... It's uncomfortable to be tight. ”

The woman did not sympathize with her, but said more harshly: "Who is not uncomfortable being squeezed in such a cage, but you are so hypocritical, hurry up." As she spoke, she raised her foot and kicked at Yiguang, but stopped just as she was about to touch Yiguang, not because she was kind, but because she was stopped.

"What do you do?" Zheng Dan angrily stopped the woman's ill-intentioned foot.

The woman's eyebrows were cold, and she scolded: "What do I do to you, get out of the way." ”

Zheng Dan trembled in his heart by her cold gaze, but he still firmly protected Yiguang's body, "You...... Your bullying of Yiguang has something to do with me. ”

The woman smiled coldly, and glanced at a Yue woman next to her, before Zheng Dan understood, someone suddenly kicked her in the crook of her leg, and she knelt down involuntarily, and before she could get up, the woman had already stepped on her hand holding the ground, and kicked it hard, so painful that Zheng Dan couldn't even speak.

The woman stared at her triumphantly, "This is what will happen to you who offends me." ”

Yiguang's eyes flickered, "You are the queen's sister?" ”

Yiguang's words surprised Arran, "You actually know? ”

"I've heard about it before." Yiguang replied casually, her father is the imperial physician of the king of Yue, naturally knows a little about things in the palace, once when I had dinner with Yiguang, I once mentioned that the queen Yayu has a sister, named Yalan, who looks very beautiful, but her temper is worse, and now when I see it, it is really so.

"Humph!" Yalan snorted proudly, "Finally, I still have some eyesight, unlike some people, who are as stupid as pigs, even if they come to stand up for others and ask for their own hardships." As she spoke, she added a little more force under her feet, Zheng Dan was so painful that her body kept trembling, and if she continued like this, her finger bones had to be broken alive.

Yiguang held Zheng Dan, raised his eyes and said, "Please Miss Yalan raise your noble feet and let Sister Zheng go." ”

Yalanyang raised his willow eyebrows, "Since you know my identity, you should know what the fate of offending me is, and one hand is already light." ”

Yiguang smiled faintly, "Miss Yalan thinks what kind of identity she is now?" ”

Seeing that she asked knowingly, Yalan said unhappily: "Of course it's the queen's sister-in-law......"

"Wrong." Yiguang interrupted and said word by word: "You are now the same as us, all of you are prisoners who have been captured by the Wu State. ”

"You ......" Yalan was stabbed in the sore spot by her, and her face turned blue and white with anger, and she said in annoyance: "I was born in a scholar family, and my sister is the queen, how can I be different from you, it's just nonsense." ”

"Now that the Yue Kingdom has been defeated and the king has been captured, you, as the daughter of the scholar clan and the sister of the queen, are deeply favored by the king, and you should think about how to rescue the king and queen in this way, and how to revive the Yue Kingdom; But you are here to bully Vietnamese people like you, what is the reason? In Yalan's extremely difficult face, Yiguang said to the onlookers: "We are now being escorted to Wu Kingdom, I don't know what kind of things will happen, we should be in the same breath and support each other, but what about you, you actually sit back and watch her bully her companions, and even someone helps to abuse her; is so distracted, I'm afraid that before Wu Jun makes a move, we will already be separated and collapsed. ”

All the girls were flushed by her, and they all cast displeased eyes at Yalan, even if the latter was arrogant, she couldn't help but feel weak when she was stared at by so many people, and the woman who helped her kick down Zheng Dan before whispered in her ear: "Sister, forget it, don't be angry." ”

Yalan was already weak-hearted, and when she said this, she was even more cowardly, she let go of her feet, and said sharply: "Miss Ben has a lot, don't worry about you generally, be careful next time." ”

Yiguang ignored her, and hurriedly helped Zheng Dan, who was covered in cold sweat, to check the injury, the originally slender fingers were red and swollen at the moment, like carrots, "Sister, move your fingers." ”

As soon as Zheng Dan exerted her strength, there was a heart-piercing pain in her fingers, and she quickly shook her head and said, "No, my hands hurt so much." ”

"You have to move even if it hurts, so you can know if the bone is broken." At Yiguang's insistence, Zheng Dan forcibly endured the pain and moved his fingers.

Seeing that she was able to move all five fingers, Yiguang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay, it didn't hurt the bones, otherwise it would be troublesome." ”

As she spoke, she took out a packet of medicinal powder from her waist, carefully sprinkled it on Zheng Dan's fingers, and bit the hem of her skirt with her teeth to bandage her wounds, "This is the medicinal powder left by my father, it is best to remove stasis and reduce swelling, skin trauma like my sister, as long as the dressing is changed every day, it will get better in less than five days; It's a pity that I don't have much left, I can only apply it twice, remember not to get wet, I hope it will get better as soon as possible, otherwise the wound will deteriorate and pus will be troublesome. ”

As soon as Yiguang's words fell, there was suddenly a drop of transparent and warm water on the back of his hand, followed by the second drop, and the third drop, Zheng Dan's tears.

"What's wrong with my sister, does it hurt?" In the face of Yiguang's inquiry, Zheng Dan didn't speak, just kept shaking her head, and for a while, she raised her tearful eyes and choked up: "Yiguang, I'm afraid, I'm really afraid." ”

Yiguang hugged her distressedly, and stroked her shoulders that were trembling because of fear over and over again, "Don't be afraid, with me here, I will definitely protect my sister." ”

In the face of her comfort, Zheng Dan cried more and more, "Why fight, if there is no war, we would still live well in Lai Luo Village, Daddy and Auntie, they are still alive, but now...... We have nothing left, and we have to be captured and taken to that terrible country of Wu. ”

"Yes, why fight...... Yiguang read this sentence with a complicated expression, along the way, she saw too many displaced Yue people, some were hungry to the bones, and some were starving to death on the side of the road, and there was not even a person who collected their corpses, so the corpses were exposed in the wilderness.

A war to overthrow the country made them leave their homeland, their families were ruined, and they became slaves of the country; They flee, but they do not know where they can flee; Alive, but not knowing what the meaning is......

The sudden sharp pain in her arm brought Yiguang back to her senses, only to see Zheng Dan holding her hand tightly and saying in a panic: "Yiguang, do you think we will die?" ”

"No, it won't." Yiguang shook his head and said softly: "I told my sister's fortune, and my sister can live to be at least eighty-eight years old." ”

Zheng Dan was originally worried because of the bleak future, but she couldn't help but feel a little relieved when she said this, and reprimanded: "You know medical skills, I know, when will I tell fortunes again, all nonsense." ”

"What I said is true, the book says 'deep and elder, long life', my sister is both long and deep, and the hall is as bright as a mirror, no mole scars, it is clearly the appearance of longevity, eighty-eight years old is already a young man."

Zheng Dan laughed when she said, "You, you will coax people." Saying that, she sighed with emotion: "It's good that you are here, otherwise I don't know what to do by myself." ”

Yiguang smiled slightly, "Sister, don't worry, as long as I am here in the future, I will never let you be bullied." ”

Zheng Dan didn't say anything, just tilted his head to look at Yiguang, who was inexplicably looked at by her, stroked his cheek and said, "What, is my face dirty?" ”

"It's not dirty." Zheng Dan sighed: "I'm just strange, it's just strange that you are such a delicate person, but you can be so brave and not afraid at all, it really makes me ashamed, looking at you is more like a sister." ”

Hearing this, Yiguang smiled, put his hands on his knees, looked at the devastated land, and said softly: "The country is ruined, the road ahead is at a loss, who can not be afraid?" Fear doesn't solve things, so I choose to keep it to myself. Speaking of this, her eyes darkened, and she said astringently: "The only thing I'm worried about now is my father, and I don't know where he is or if he's okay." ”

Zheng Dan comforted: "Don't worry, Uncle Shi is kind and kind-hearted, and he will be fine." ”

"I hope so." Yiguang nodded.

Seeing that the sorrow between her eyebrows and eyes always lingered, Zheng Dan's eyes flashed, and he whispered in Yiguang's ear: "I see that sometimes they are not very strict, maybe...... We can find an opportunity to escape, so that we can go to Uncle Shi. ”

Yiguang also had the same idea in his heart, but there were many people here, so it was inconvenient to say more, so he only nodded and said, "I know." ”

After walking for two days, it was already at the border of the Yue country, and at this time, among the Yue women, some people began to have abdominal pain and diarrhea and high fever that did not go away.

At first, they only thought that they were suffering from the cold, but as more and more people got sick, and the first Yue Nu who was sick collapsed and died of blood in the stool, the women began to panic, they knew that this was by no means as simple as being cold and cold, and they begged Wu Jun to let the imperial doctor of the army treat them.

Although these Yue girls were prisoners, but in the end they were going to be dedicated to their husbands, and those soldiers did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported them layer by layer, but for some reason, they suddenly fell silent, there was no imperial doctor, and there was no decoction, allowing them to get sick one after another, and die one after another for unknown reasons, it was like a curse.

The dead were hastily thrown on the road, just like the starving refugees they saw on the way, without even a handful of loess to cover their bodies.

The shadow of panic and death spread rapidly among the Yue women, and those who were sick slowly died in pain and despair; If you don't get sick, you worry about when you'll get this disease that is even more terrible than the tiger in the mountains.

This fear made them want to escape, but before they could escape far, they were captured by Wu Jun and continued to be locked in a small and dirty prison car, desperately waiting for death to come.
