Allure and Biyu are the people who were arranged by the emperor to be by Qiu Luoxue's side and were responsible for protecting her. Theoretically, the martial arts of the two should be good, and in fact, their martial arts are indeed good. It's just that in the end, it was counted to the bandits who robbed the grain, why?

Qiu Luoxue stuck her head out of the carriage to look, and a bright knife reached her neck. Frightened, she immediately made a gesture to throw.

"Don't move." Said the man with the knife.

He looks like he is only about thirty, and he is not handsome, but he has good facial features, and he belongs to the more resolute category, and there is a not very long scar next to the corner of his eye, which adds to the masculinity. He was wearing an overcoat made of tiger skin, and the weapons in his hands were a little better than others, so Qiu Luoxue deduced that he should have a certain status in this group of bandits.

"I don't move, you take the knife away a little, be careful of accidental injury." Qiu Luoxue said, such a knife is still very scared when it is blocked by the neck. In case he slips with one hand, Qiu Luoxue's life will be gone.

Qiu Luoxue was fine when she didn't say anything, but after she finished speaking, the man leaned the knife closer and threatened the others and said, "Don't move, or I'll kill him."

Seeing that Qiu Luoxue was being held hostage, Allure and Biyu quickly stopped their movements and asked the others not to move. They didn't dare to joke with Qiu Luoxue's life. As a result, when the people brought by Qiu Luoxue were about to arrive in Connecticut, all the people were arrested, and the food and disaster relief silver were also robbed.

"It's all my fault, I can't do anything, and I've been a burden to you." After being arrested, Qiu Luoxue said apologetically.

"Don't blame Childe, it's because we didn't think about it that caused Childe to be arrested." Allure said.

"The key is that the relief food has also been robbed, and the food is a little more than a day, and I don't know how many victims will starve to death." Qiu Luoxue said worriedly, and unconsciously, she also cared a little about the feelings of the world. If it had been before, she would have thought only of herself.

The bandits were all overjoyed when they grabbed the grain and silver, cheering and thanking the person who had held Qiu Luoxue hostage just now. From their words, Qiu Luoxue learned that that person was their eldest brother, the leader of the bandits, named Wuzhi. Their group of people, who used to be simple people, had a great drought one year, and there was no harvest, and there was a famine not long after. The imperial court sent people to provide disaster relief, but those people colluded with the local officials and embezzled a large amount of disaster relief money, and only a small part of it was used to relieve the victims. But there were too many victims, and there was not enough silver at all. As the famine continued, the officials only reported the good news to the authorities, saying that the disaster had been alleviated, and did not care about the lives of the victims, and a large number of victims were starved to death because they had no food. The people couldn't bear it anymore, so they gathered to make trouble in the government, but it was said that they were greedy for the emperor's favor, and the local officials sent troops to suppress it, and a large number of people died in this suppression. Many of these bandits in front of them participated in the confrontation with the government. Wuzhi's mother was also killed by officers and soldiers at that time...... Later, it was Wu Zhi who led the surviving people in the village to go up the mountain to become bandits, and they also had a way to live.

After knowing their story, Qiu Luoxue felt sorry for them, but after regretting it, she was more powerless. The situation of forcing the good to become prostitutes and forcing the people to become thieves exists in any era. The country's constitution is too magnificent, and it cannot guarantee that the parents and officials in every place can think about the people, nor can it guarantee that the major and minor affairs in every place can be known by the above.

Ancient society was relatively closed, and there were too few other ways to understand local affairs, except for the central government's dispatch to the local capital, where they could learn a little about the local officialdom. If the central government does not know, there is no way to make a timely effort to reflect, and there is a reason why the people are resentful.

Qiu Luoxue felt that Xia Zimo was already a very diligent and wise emperor. However, this still happened under his rule. It's not his fault, it's the limitation of the whole era.

The bandits returned to the cottage and tied Qiu Luoxue and others to the pillars of the Enyi Hall, and they themselves began to worship. There are many tablets in the Enyi Hall, which are the tablets of the relatives of these bandits, and in the front left is the tablet of Wuzhi's mother, who is said to have starved to death in the year of the great drought, and the death of his mother made Wuzhi disheartened, so he had the idea of going up the mountain to be a bandit. These were only later known to Qiu Luoxue.

…………

In the evening, of course, it's time to have a big meal. After robbing so many things, it is inevitable to celebrate, and the entire Enyi Hall is full of people and making a commotion. There was wine and meat on the table, and everyone drank wine and ate meat in large bowls.

Seeing them eating so happily and thinking about their hunger, Qiu Luoxue once again regretted why she didn't learn some martial arts in the first place, so that she wouldn't have been arrested.

"I'm really curious, did I really not learn martial arts when I was a child?" Qiu Luoxue asked, Allure and Biyu were tied to the pillars on her left and right, respectively, so that it was also convenient to speak.

"I haven't studied, don't you remember?" Jasper replied.

Qiu Luoxue had a loveless face, and said: "I really asked because I was curious, why didn't I learn martial arts when I was a child?" Even you know martial arts, why can't I? ”

"Childe's physique was too poor when he was a child, and he was not suitable for martial arts." Allure replied.

"Alas......" Qiu Luoxue let out a long sigh, which contained a lot of helplessness.

If the new body is not a peerless master, what's the use of letting me cross over? In the end, he will die at the hands of others.

"Suddenly, I miss Nie Shishi by my side." Qiu Luoxue said.

"Yes, if Commander Nie is here, he will definitely be able to protect his son." Allure answered.

She still remembered Nie Yuan's words before leaving, arranging for her to take care of Qiu Luoxue, but she didn't take care of it. said silently in his heart: I'm sorry, I promised Commander Nie what I promised, but Allure didn't do it.

"I've been here for a long time, and I'm bored." General Nie asked Nie Yuandao.

"It's fine." Nie Yuan replied.

"In a month, it will be your mother's 100-day sacrifice, after the 100-day festival, you can go back to Beijing, it seems that someone in the capital is waiting for you to go back." General Nie said very understandingly.

"Someone waiting for me to go back?" Nie Yuan's tone was a little hesitant.

General Nie looked at Nie Yuan with loving eyes and said, "Isn't that the one who corresponds with you from time to time?" You have been silent since you were a child, and now that you are alone in the capital, your mother will be very relieved to know that you can have a friend to talk to. ”

Speaking of this, Nie Yuan remembered the time he spent with Qiu Luoxue again, and his resolute face showed a little soft color. He heard that Qiu Luoxue had come to Connecticut, although the distance between Quanzhou and Connecticut was not as far as the capital, but he was still in mourning and he couldn't rush to see Qiu Luoxue. So, can we only see you in the capital?

"Big brother, what about these people? The grain and silver were robbed, and if I wanted to say that it would be superfluous to bring them back, I could kill them directly. "The bandits ate and drank about the same, and they began to think about what to do with Qiu Luoxue and the others.

"Forget about killing those men, I think these two little ladies are good-looking, why don't you stay and be the eldest brother's wife." Someone else said.

actually set his eyes on Allure and Jasper, which made Qiu Luoxue very angry. She was planning to find a good family for these two girls to marry, how could she marry them to bandits?

"I think, that white-skinned and tender boy is not bad, it's a pity to kill him, or stay for me to be the boss of the village." A middle-aged woman looked at Qiu Luoxue and said.

Her words drew laughter from the crowd. But Wu Zhi has been silent, occasionally drinking and eating meat, and does not participate in their discussions, which seems to be different from those people.

Qiu Luoxue heard the middle-aged woman's words, and couldn't help but say in disgust: "Disgusting."

"What do you say? Dare you call me disgusting? The middle-aged woman was very unhappy when she heard this, so she got up and walked in front of Qiu Luoxue.

"That's right, it's you, disgusting." Qiu Luoxue's attitude suddenly hardened, because she felt that she couldn't sit still. She can wait, but the victims of Connecticut can't.

"What? Crush the village Langjun! Scold...... It's you, too. Auntie, please take a good look at yourself in the mirror, you still look dissatisfied when you are old, and you are embarrassed to say this kind of thing, which is really not ashamed. How? After becoming a bandit, did you forget that you were a woman? You are not required to do anything, but at least you must know how to respect yourself. Qiu Luoxue said disdainfully.

Then she glanced at the other bandits, and finally fell on Wu Zhi's body, and continued: "And you, it's called Wu Zhi, right?" When you become a bandit, you forget that you are a human being? Yes, you all have miserable backgrounds, and it's not your fault that you were forced to be bandits. However, can a miserable life be used as your capital to do evil? ”

"Huh...... Do you do evil? I guess people like you don't know what it's like to be hungry. We were forced by you people to give up our land and our homes just to survive. It's the same today, snatching the disaster relief money just to keep more people alive. Anyway, these things will eventually be embezzled by you officials, and they will not reach the hands of the victims at all. Wu Zhi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke, his eyes were red, making people a little frightened.

Although Qiu Luoxue was also afraid of Wu Zhi, whose eyes were red and looked like he would get angry at any time, she still mustered up the courage to continue:

"Do we want more people to live? No, you're just letting yourself live, or letting the people around you live. Hundreds of thousands of disaster victims in Connecticut are waiting for these grains and silver to save their lives, but you cut them off for your own enjoyment. Are you alive, Connecticut's victims? How are they going to live? When she said this, Qiu Luoxue's voice turned to a stern question.

"When the relief food arrives one day late, unpredictable people will die, so we are rushing sleeplessly, wanting to arrive a day earlier, wanting to save more people, and wanting to give those affected people a hope, a hope that they can survive as long as they endure one more day. But you cut off that hope with your own hands. Think about it, if the people of Connecticut heard that the disaster relief food was intercepted, how would they react? How many people will die in despair in the cold wind and hunger. You must remember that tonight, the people who died in Connecticut died because of you. You are the culprits of the murder. It is the same as those corrupt officials and brutal officers and soldiers who killed your relatives in the beginning......"

"Shut up!" Qiu Luoxue's words angered Wu Zhi, he slammed the wine jar on the table, and quickly stepped forward to choke Qiu Luoxue's neck.

The feeling of being choked by the neck and on the verge of death was the first time Qiu Luoxue experienced that the air was getting thinner and thinner, the pain in the neck, and the dizziness after the lack of oxygen in the brain, and the redness of her face. This is despair before death.

When I was on the verge of death, I suddenly remembered you. The man who kissed me on the lips one night, where are you now?
