Chapter 255: Killing Hu Zhai (Part II)
Thanks to An Ruoxi's eagerness, she reported to the big man led by the thieves the temporary identity of Yang Guang's fraudulent claim to the outside world in Weifu Private Bank, and bluffed the big man into ordering his subordinates to stop, and escorted her and Yang Guang back to the cottage to take care of them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Perhaps because An Ruoxi blurted out that Yang Guang's fake identity was too prominent, the big man led by him became very polite to the two, in addition to ordering someone to take the "Iron Hoof Dragon" away and detain him elsewhere, he actually allowed Yang Guang to return to the so-called cottage built of more than a dozen thatched huts in the valley with the "black general" on his shoulder, and locked them in one of the huts.
"Ruoxi, I didn't expect our detour to go around to a thief's den. It's all my fault, I knew this was the case, so I might as well let the 'Iron Hoof Dragon' go early. When only the two of them were left in the hut, Yang Guang said to An Ruoxi with a depressed expression.
"Lord Wang, I don't think things are out of control." An Ruoxi blinked her eyes and said, "I see, this gang of thieves is not like a thief who kills people and dares to oppose the imperial court, but like a Han mountain man who specializes in seeking revenge from the Hu people." Don't worry, as long as they gather and open the mountain hall, we will try to convince them that you are the tenth prince in the palace of the imperial master, and they will not dare to embarrass us. ”
"Looking for the Han mountain people to take revenge on the Hu people? What kind of people are they? Yang Guang still felt deeply guilty for being too willful when he climbed the mountain this morning, and buried his head and muttered to himself.
"Before the handicapped senior sister was found, I heard her talk about such a group of people in the Guanzhong area in the temple." An Ruoxi said leisurely, "Although the previous dynasty (Northern Zhou) continued the policy of sinicization since the Northern Wei Dynasty, dressed in Han clothes and spoke Chinese, but in the bones, the Xianbei people still regarded the Han people as the most lowly slaves, especially the Han people captured in the war with the Northern Qi and Southern Chen, and they were wantonly trampled on and insulted, treating them as cattle and horses. As a result, in the rebellion of the three chiefs more than a year ago, some of the captured Han people took advantage of the chaos to flee into the deep mountains around Guanzhong to hide from the destruction and bullying of the Xianbei people. Later, I don't know what kind of coincidence, they had hundreds of people, as few as dozens of people, with the prefectures and counties of Guanzhong as the boundary, each demarcating their own territory, and forming 10 cottages of all sizes. After listening to the remnant sister, these cottages have a unified name, what is called 'Killing Hu Village'. As the name suggests, it should be looking for trouble from Xianbei and other Hu people. ”
Yang Guang's biological mother Dugu Jialuo is a Xianbei person, and he himself naturally has half of the Xianbei blood, and after listening to An Ruoxi's story about the origin of "killing Hu Zhai", he couldn't help but gasp: If this gang of thieves found out their true identity, would they kill themselves?
It was nearly noon, and the "wild man" who was called the old nine in the cottage personally brought two large bowls of wild vegetable porridge to Yang Guang and An Ruoxi, stared at An Ruoxi with a smile, didn't say a word, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by An Ruoxi.
"When did you open the mountain hall? If my son-in-law is delayed, the officials and soldiers in Huazhou City will go out of the city to search the mountains, and when the time comes, don't take your thief's den with you. An Ruoxi was sure that this gang of thieves was one of the many "killing Hu Zhai" in the Guanzhong area, so he deliberately hardened his tone and scared the "wild man".
Although the "wild man" stared at An Ruoxi's eyes was still a little restless, he was much more polite than before, and he didn't dare to say anything to her lightly, so he only waved at her and replied, "Feed your stomach, An Sheng is waiting here, where is so much irrelevant nonsense?" He staggered out and left.
Yang Guang looked down at the two bowls of porridge with wild vegetables brought by the "wild man", and saw that although the bowl was broken, the porridge in the bowl exuded a burst of fragrance, which made him have a great appetite, and he couldn't take care of it at the moment, so he picked up a bowl and drank the porridge.
Who knows, after drinking it in one go, Yang Guang smacked his tongue, but felt that the tip of his tongue was bitter and astringent, and there was an indescribable strange taste, so he immediately threw the bowl towards the edge of the kang, and no longer had the courage to drink this bowl of porridge.
An Ruoxi saw that he was so eager and embarrassed to eat, and was secretly surprised in his heart: in his impression, the appetite of this little prince did not seem to be so good, and he could eat it regardless of the occasion, no matter what it was, so he persuaded him with a smile: "Lord Wang, eat more calmly." These wild vegetable porridge in the mountains is not as delicious as the delicacies in the palace, eat in the mouth, bitter, astringent, there will be, eat two bites, get used to it, you can eat it. As he spoke, he picked up the other bowl, put it to his lips, and took a shallow sip.
"We all have food, but we don't have it." An Ruoxi said that, once Yang Guang tasted the true taste of this bowl of wild vegetable porridge, he refused to pick up the bowl anymore, raised his hand and stroked the head and neck of the "black general", and said to An Ruoxi.
"When I was on the mountain road, I still looked strange, I obviously saw Xiao Hei rushing to the 'wild man' just now, how could he suddenly fall down? Lord, can you see clearly, where is it injured? An Ruoxi suddenly recalled the scene when the "black general" planted in mid-air on the mountain road, and asked Yang Guangdao with some worry.
"I think it's weird too." Yang Guang replied while taking the "Black General" from his shoulder into his arms, and stroked it with one hand to look for injuries, "I looked carefully at the time, and there were no wounds on it, how could it fall off for no reason?" After touching it for a while, Yang Guang still didn't find any injuries on the "Black General", and couldn't help but sigh in surprise.
"Xiao Hei, you come and tell the two of you, what happened?" An Ruoxi gestured a few times at the "Black General" and asked it.
Yang Guang watched from the sidelines, and laughed in his heart: Could it be that it can still understand what you say?
However, as soon as the "Black General" saw An Ruoxi's gesture towards it, he immediately whispered to break free from Yang Guang's arms. Yang Guang didn't expect that the falconry technique An Ruoxi learned from Princess Qianjin would have such a miraculous effect, and his eyes widened, wanting to see what the "Black General" wanted to do.
I saw that the "black general" broke free from his arms, landed on the kang, and scurried vertically upwards three times in succession.
"I understand, do you want to say that the one who hurt you is the big man who is the way among the thieves?" An Ruoxi held the porridge bowl in his hand, stared at every move of the "Black General", and asked tentatively.
The "Black General" immediately flapped his wings twice at her, expressing his affirmation.
"But how did he hurt you? Why can't you find a wound on your body? Yang Guang couldn't help but interject and asked.
This time, the "Black General" flew up from the kang, circled around the house a few times, and then fell straight back to the kang, flapping his wings a few times at Yang Guang, and then stopped and did not move.
"What does it mean?" Yang Guang stretched out a finger, imitated the "black general" and circled back and forth a few times, and asked An Ruoxi in confusion.
An Ruoxi also shook her head, saying that even she didn't see it this time.
At this moment, only to hear the sound of "clang", the door of the thatched hut was pushed open outside, and the "wild man" walked in again with a gloomy face, and shouted at the two of them: "The mountain hall has been opened, come with me." ”
