"Driving ......"

Under the cover of night, Xia Zimo and his personal guard Hanshan rode horses on the official road and set off quickly in the direction of Connecticut. The sound of horses' hooves resounded in the night sky, and the owner's anxiety could be seen. The moon and the heavy shadows of the trees continued to retreat, but Xia Zimo still felt that the road ahead was far away.

He received the news that Qiu Luoxue had been robbed by bandits at 10 minutes after dark. It was immediately decided that Guan Liang would lead the convoy to walk slowly behind, and he would quickly set off with Hanshan to rescue Qiu Luoxue.

He didn't know what would happen to Qiu Luoxue after the bandits kidnapped her, so he could only rush to her as soon as possible, a little faster, and a little faster. If something happened to Qiu Luoxue this time, then he really didn't know what kind of mood he would be in.

Please, don't get into trouble! Don't. I'll save you, I'll have to wait until then, definitely. Xia Zimo prayed silently in his heart.

Just when Qiu Luoxue's consciousness gradually weakened, Wu Zhi, who was holding her neck, suddenly let go. His move made Qiu Luoxue even more firm in her conjecture.

Through the information about Takena's background that he heard intermittently, I observed his behavior. Qiu Luoxue guessed that he should be an upright person and a person with certain ambitions. Life has allowed him to gather these sharpnesses, but he is still different from other bandits who can only have fun. That's why he became the leader of the bandits.

What's more, Qiu Luoxue has a trauma in his heart, because the famine he experienced, because of his mother's death, made him feel traumatized, and this famine can evoke his past memories even more.

There is a wound in his heart, there is affection, and he is an upright person, if he is provoked by righteousness, he may be able to succeed. So, Qiu Luoxue decided to take a gamble, betting that she would be able to convince Wu Zhi. When Wu Zhi choked her neck, she almost thought she had failed. But now, Wu Zhi let go of her, which made Qiu Luoxue even more determined in her thoughts.

So, she continued: "In the famine you experienced, it was the court that did not do its best, it was the officials who did not do their best, so that you saw your relatives starving to death, so it is natural for you to resent the court and hate the officials. Now in the famine in Connecticut, the imperial court has sent grain and disaster relief money, but you have robbed these and made more people watch their relatives starve to death. Who will those who survive in the end resent it? Who will be hated? ”

"It's you. You are no different from corrupt officials in your eyes, and even more hateful than those corrupt officials. They only seized the silver taels, and what you took away was the hope of hundreds of thousands of people in Connecticut. ”

Qiu Luoxue's words were very powerful, poking Wu Zhi's heart word by word, reminding him of the famine he had experienced, and of the mother who died in front of his eyes.

"Damn, I also said, see if Lao Tzu doesn't chop you." One of the bandits angrily raised the knife in his hand and brandished it.

"Stop, let him continue." Wu Zhi stopped in time.

"I don't have much more to say. You think that what you do today can be worthy of your dead mother and yourself. I hope that tonight, you can sleep peacefully with the wails of the victims of the disaster in Connecticut. Qiu Luoxue said, her tone was much calmer at this time, because she wanted to give Wu Zhi space to think and not force him too hard.

"I hope that tonight, you can sleep peacefully with the wails of the victims in Connecticut."

When Wu Zhi was sleeping, Qiu Luoxue's last words still echoed in his ears, and he couldn't forget it. He couldn't sleep because of this voice, so he got up from the bed with a "Teng" sound, and got out of bed with his clothes on.

"Mother, this time, did I do it wrong? If you are an elderly person, how will you choose? Wu Zhi stood in front of the tablet of Enyi Hall, and the dim light of the candle flame shone on the tablet.

It's just that the cold tablet can't give him an answer, and he has to find the answer himself.

"Childe...... What happened to you? ”

In the room where Qiu Luoxue and the others were detained, there was an anxious voice from Allure.

"It's cold, it's cold, and it's so painful...... Qiu Luoxue said intermittently, her body trembling terribly, and her teeth kept chattering.

"There's no fire here, it's definitely freezing, what can I do?" The one who spoke was Jasper.

In this room, not only is there no fire, but there are no candles or oil lamps, and the room is pitch black, and you can only tell who is talking by sound.

Qiu Luoxue has been working hard these days, and she has been tied up all the time, and she hasn't eaten much. On this cold day, there was no fire in the room, so I couldn't resist the cold at all. She is in poor health, and illness is inevitable.

"Childe, bear with me for a while, and we'll find a way to get the rope open." Allure said that she felt that the bandits would not care if they lived or died, so she had to find a way to break free from the rope and escape.

At this time, Qiu Luoxue no longer had the strength to speak, and her consciousness became blurred, so they found a way to escape.

Wu Zhi came out of Enyi Hall and went to the place where Qiu Luoxue was held. At this time, Allure had already untied the rope and was helping Qiu Luoxue to prepare to go out.

When Wu Zhi entered, the first thing he saw was the weak Qiu Luoxue, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Hearing him ask like this, the outspoken Biyu almost scolded and said, "You are embarrassed to ask, if it weren't for you, my son-in-law wouldn't be like this." You, either get out of the way or be killed by me, you choose. ”

"He can't leave like this, come with me, I'll take you to find Langzhong." Wu Zhi said.

"Don't you think we'll believe you?" Biyu said unceremoniously, and helped Qiu Luoxue out with Allure.

As soon as they walked out of the door, they found that they couldn't go out, as Wu Zhi said. The cold wind is howling outside, and the snow is falling, and it is difficult for normal people to go down the mountain in such weather, let alone carry the seriously ill autumn snow.

"Come with me, if the prime minister dies in my cottage, I won't be able to do it, so you don't have to worry about me harming him." Wu Zhi said, and after saying that, he walked ahead and led the way, as if he was sure that they would follow.

Allure and Biyu glanced at each other, because there was no other way but to follow Wu Zhi, the most important thing now was to let Qiu Luoxue have a warm room and receive treatment.

The next day, the wind and snow stopped, and Qiu Luoxue also woke up, but her body still did not recover, she couldn't get up and move around, and her appetite was not good. Under the care of Allure, Qiu Luoxue drank a little porridge.

Wu Zhi walked in from outside, Biyu saw him as if he saw an enemy, as soon as he came in, Biyu picked up a knife and pointed it at his neck, and asked vigilantly, "What are you doing again?"

"Jasper, let him in." Qiu Luoxue said.

"Childe, what if he wants to hurt you?" Biyu said reluctantly.

"If he really wanted to hurt me, he wouldn't have found someone to treat me, and he wouldn't tolerate you holding weapons." Qiu Luoxue said.

After listening to Qiu Luoxue's words, Biyu let Wu go straight in.

"I will personally send the food and disaster relief silver to Connecticut, you can rest in the village." Wu Zhi said, he seemed to have made a special trip to say this, and turned around and left after speaking.

Hearing him say this, Qiu Luoxue knew that his words yesterday inspired the kindness in his heart, so he would only appear at the place where she was held last night.

"Wait a minute." Qiu Luoxue said, her voice showing weakness.

Wu Zhi turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Let Jasper come with you to Connecticut." Qiu Luoxue said.

"What? Can't trust me? Wu Zhi asked, and after a pause, he smiled and said, "Also, people like me are really not trustworthy." Send whoever you want. ”

"It's not that I can't believe you." Qiu Luoxue said, "The direction of Connecticut must have received the news that the disaster relief grain has been robbed, and the bandits in this area are only you, they must want to get it." If you appear in Connecticut at this time, you are likely to be captured by officers and soldiers. It would be much better to let Jasper accompany you. ”

Then Qiu Luoxue took out the jade unicorn symbolizing the identity of the prime minister and gave it to Biyu, and said, "If you take this, they will all know." Tell them that I fell ill on the way and recuperated in the cottage, so let you and Wu Zhi transport the grain first, and don't mention the looting of the grain. ”

Wu Zhi was not only a little moved when he heard Qiu Luoxue's arrangement, he knew that Qiu Luoxue made such an arrangement for their good. Once again, he was ashamed of yesterday's food robbery.

"But, Childe, did you let those bandits go so easily? If it weren't for them, you wouldn't have gotten sick, and you should have sent officers and soldiers to exterminate them. Biyu said angrily.

"Forget it, after all, the court is sorry for them." Qiu Luoxue said with a sigh.

"Childe ......," Jasper said reluctantly.

"Okay, do as I say, I don't have the strength to fight with you now." Qiu Luoxue said with a tough attitude, otherwise she felt that Biyu would not be obedient.

Biyu finally obeyed Qiu Luoxue's arrangement, but when she left, she was still reluctant, and she didn't have a good face for Wuzhi.

Allure looked at Biyu's expression when she left, lowered her head and smiled, and said to Qiu Luoxue: "Don't worry, although she is reluctant, she will still do what Childe explains."

Qiu Luoxue also smiled and said, "I have always been very relieved that you guys are doing things." After saying that, she felt a wave of sleepiness and fell asleep before she knew it.

After the cart for transporting grain was loaded, Wu Zhi set off with the bandit brother, considering that Biyu was a woman, he also sent a carriage.

"Miss Jasper will take the carriage ......," Wu Zhi said.

Before he could finish speaking, Jasper snatched the horse from his hand. The warm winter sun shone on the snow, and Jasper flew on the horse, looking very handsome. Wu Zhi watched the scene of her flying on the horse, and was fascinated for a while.

"It seems that it is not easy to be a maid of the prime minister, if you want to know martial arts, but fortunately you can ride a horse." Wu Zhi said.

"Not only that, but I'm going to kill people." With these threatening tones, Biyu said, "So you'd better not talk to me on the way, lest I kill you on the spur of the moment." With that, she tightened the reins and rode away.

Wu Zhi smiled, took another batch of horses from the younger brother's hands, and also rode off.
