Chapter 145: A Dog's Eyes Look at People
When the tall and thin barbarians saw it, only two barbarians were left to monitor Zhong Wuregret and their party, and instructed them to come and call them when Zhong Wuregret and they were asleep. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info saw the two barbarians staring at Zhong Wuregret and them, the thin and tall barbarians and the other barbarians went to the side to really drink.
Zhong Wuregret saw that the time was almost up, and quietly gestured to everyone, and the two guards quietly came behind the barbarians who were watching them, put them down silently, and tied them up after stuffing a large handful of grass into their mouths.
It turned out that when the barbarians asked the guards to drink, the guards all managed to splash or fall into their sleeves, and none of them actually drank.
The tall and thin barbarians ate and drank on the side, and some went to participate in the funeral, and they waited for the time of the drug attack with confidence.
Zhong Wuregret wrapped sackcloth on the horse's hooves, ready to slip away quietly.
Just as they were about to get on their horses, a voice suddenly sounded in the darkness: "Are you going to sneak away?" ”
As soon as they heard this, the guards drew their swords and prepared to assassinate. However, Xiang San heard Qin Xiang's voice, and hurriedly stopped everyone quietly.
Qin Xiang complained to Xiang San: "You don't want me, you can tell me clearly, there is no need to run away secretly." ”
"No, we are afraid that after slipping away, the leader of the barbarians will find trouble with your tribe, so we deliberately snubbed you. The master said, "After we finish this business, I can marry you and settle down in your tribe." Sanzo explained softly.
"What do you have to do in a hurry?" Qin Xiang asked.
Xiang San didn't make a sound, and at this time, Zhong Wuregret's voice sounded on the side: "We have to rush to Qin State immediately." ”
Qin Xiang said: "I know that there is a path that is very secret, and it will not be chased by that brute bull, but horses cannot be ridden. ”
"In that case, with Miss Lao leading the way, let's hurry up!" Zhong Wuregret said.
When they came to a fork in the road, Zhong Wuregret asked everyone to dismount, and then said to one of the guards: "You stay here first, and when you find someone catching up, stab the horses with your knife and let them run along the road on the left, and then you follow us immediately, and we will leave a secret mark along the way." ”
The guard said yes and stayed. Zhong Wuregret took the others and followed Qin Xiang into the mountain road.
"Going with this woman so easily, aren't adults afraid of traps?" Yang Yuji asked softly after Zhong Wuregret.
"Time is running out, the situation is urgent, I don't think this girl will lie to us, no one knows about our arrival, and certainly will not set a trap in advance. The key point is that we are not familiar with the road, those brutes will take the small road to intercept us, and when the time comes, we will not be able to escape, it is better to take some risks, and still have life. Zhong Wuregret said.
At this time, there was a faint sound of shouting and screaming from behind. Zhong Wuregret couldn't help but sigh secretly: "The footsteps of these barbarians are too fast, our four-legged ones are only a little faster than their two-legged ones. ”
So, Zhong Wuregret and his entourage followed Qin Xiang into the mountain trail.
Zhong Wuregret and his entourage followed Qin Xiang for a ride, and at this time, they heard the sound of water becoming clearer and clearer.
"It's here!" Qin Xiang said.
Looking up, not far away, a huge waterfall hangs in the mountains, which is very beautiful. When everyone came to the waterfall, they saw that the waterfall was quite wide, flying straight down from the top of the mountain dozens of zhang high, accompanied by the sound of "whooshing", injecting into a wide and turquoise lake, which was magnificent. The air was filled with moisture, and everyone stood by the waterfall, splashing on their faces, quite cool, and they couldn't imagine that there was such a spectacle in this unknown mountain.
"Follow me!" With that, Qin Xiang jumped into the waterfall.
Following Qin Xiang through the waterfall, everyone had to sigh at the magic of nature.
Behind the waterfall is a spacious cave with pots, bowls, and other practical utensils.
"Do you want us to hide here for a while and wait until the pursuers are over?" Zhong Wuregret asked.
"Wouldn't that be a big mistake for adults, and I have to wait to get married soon. Bring! Qin Xiang asked Xiang San for his knife, went to the depths of the cave, and dug it up on the cave wall with a knife.
After Qin Xiang slowly dug up some of the soil, she saw a large wooden board made of tree branches, she took off the wooden board, and a dark hole appeared in front of everyone.
Qin Xiang said to Zhong Wuregret: "You follow this hole all the way forward, the exit is a cave in the mountain, covered with vines, you can go out after you open the vines, this secret passage, in our tribe only my father and I know, now my husband also knows." After you finish your big business, return your husband to me, and don't break your word, otherwise, I will ask my clan to chase after you. ”
The threat in Qin Xiang's words was very serious, and when Xiang San heard it, he immediately said to Qin Xiang sternly: "Take back what you said immediately, otherwise, I won't come back after I go." ”
When Qin Xiang heard this, tears immediately fell, and she said angrily: "You are my husband, but you favor others and don't help me, I will kill you." As he spoke, he took the knife of the third and slashed at him.
Suddenly, there was a light in his hand, and the knife fell on Zhong Wuregret's hand.
Zhong Wuregret said to Qin Xiang sternly: "Is he your husband or your slave?" ”
Qin Xiang didn't expect Zhong Wuregret's martial arts to be so strong, in the blink of an eye, the knife in her hand had fallen into Zhong Wuregret's hand, and she said expectantly: "It's me...... It's my husband. ”
"It's your husband, you have to respect him, so that you can live a life of affection and love, and you don't think that you are the daughter of a chief, so you can bully your husband at will. Although Xiang San calls me master, I treat them as brothers. Don't think that he is an ordinary guardian, in fact, he is the guard of the king of Chu, because there is something important this time, so he came out with me.
I know that you Ba people have an upright temperament, dare to love and hate, if it weren't for the fact that this matter is important, I would have asked him to go with you, and with him in your tribe, you can get along with our Chu country friendly. Moreover, once you need help, we in the Chu State can lend a helping hand at any time.
However, Xiang San is a responsible man, and we came out this time in an extremely dangerous way, and no one would have expected anything to happen, just like the brute leader wanted to arrest us this time. If Xiang San can't turn around once something happens, you ask the clansmen to chase me all the time, which is to declare war on the Chu State, and you disregard the safety of the tribe for your own selfish interests, is this what the chief's daughter should do?
Xiang San seems to be helping me, but it's actually for your own good, because there are some things he can't say, you know? Zhong Wuregret reprimanded, and Qin Xiang was dumbfounded. In order to elevate the identity of Xiangsan, he deliberately said that he was the guard of the king of Chu.
"Who are you?" Qin Xiang asked.
"We'll tell you when we get back." Zhong Wuregret said coldly.
"Let's go!" As soon as Yoyuki saw that what he had said was almost done, he urged.
Xiang San walked up to Qin Xiang, took her hand and said, "Let's go quickly!" ”
"I'm not leaving!" Qin Xiang said resolutely.
"What's wrong?" Xiangsan thought that Qin Xiang was still angry, and was about to persuade her, but before he could speak, he listened to Qin Xiang's words.
"After you leave, I'm going to seal the hole so you're safer, and if someone is chasing you, I'll be able to resist the hole for a while. As long as you remember to come back to me. Qin Xiang said warmly.
"As long as I have a breath, I will climb back. You have to take care of yourself and wait for me to come back. Here we go. After speaking, Xiang Santou followed Zhong Wuregret without looking back.
The roads in the caves are sometimes low enough for people to crawl on the ground, and sometimes narrow enough to be squeezed to pass. But, fortunately, there was no fork in the road. When Zhong Wuregret and they walked out of the cave, it was already bright outside.
Because the barbarians of Pakistan are too complicated, it is difficult to judge the tribes of pro-Chu, rebellious Chu, pro-Qin, pro-Shu, hater Shu, Jinyong and so on, as soon as he got rid of the chasing soldiers, Zhong Wuregret was afraid of encountering the enemy again, so he led everyone through the dense forest, took dangerous roads, wore stars and moons, day and night, and finally arrived at Yongcheng, the capital of Qin.
Because the Qin State has been in the Rong Land for a long time, it is looked down upon by the Central Plains countries and regarded it as "Rong Di". In the period of Qin Mugong, after Mu Gong exchanged five sheepskins for Baili Xi as the upper doctor (prime minister), Qin developed production, pacified the scholars, and restored the economy.
Later, Mu Gong reused talents and conquered dozens of Rongdi countries, so that the Qin State opened up thousands of miles, the national border reached Qinling in the south, Dadidao in the west (now Lintao, Gansu), north to Quyanrong (now Yanchi in Ningxia), and east to the Yellow River. Become a powerful power. Qin Mugong also became one of the famous overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period.
After the death of Qin Mugong, Qin Kanggong ascended the throne, at that time the Qin state was unprecedented, however, Qin Kanggong did not have the ambition of the first king, he also wanted to follow the strategy of the first king to advance eastward, but, just a few years ago, the Qin army was still defeated by the Jin state.
Zhong Wuregret knew that the task of moving Kang Gong to send troops this time was not simple, and this stemmed from an attempted invasion of the Chu State, which caused mutual suspicion between Qin and Chu.
Qin Kang has no ambitions and is ridiculous in national politics. For his own amusement, he asked the people to build a luxurious observation deck, which took three years to work and waste, and still did not complete the construction. Qin Kanggong was extremely poor and extravagant, which made the people complain. As soon as the state of Chu saw it, he thought that the opportunity had come, so he hypothesized that he was going to fight the state of Qi and prepare to attack Qin.
Fortunately, one of the virtuous ministers of the Qin state, Ren Yu, said to Kang Gong: "If the people do not have enough to eat, they will attract enemies, if they do not have enough to eat, if they do not have enough to eat, if they do not have enough to eat, if they do not have enough to eat, if they do not have enough to eat, they will attract enemies, and if they do not have enough to eat, they will attract enemies, and if they do not have enough to eat, they will attract enemies, and if they do not have enough to eat, they will attract enemies, and if they do not have enough to eat, they will attract enemies, and if they do not have enough to eat, they will attract enemies, and if they do not have enough to eat, they will attract enemies, and if they have no trouble, the king will spend three years building the city, and the people of Chu will send
However, now there is no famine or epidemic in Qi country, the country is strong and the country is peaceful. Excuse me, why did Chu State attack it for no reason? According to His Majesty's opinion, the Chu people are probably attacking our country in the name of attacking the Qi State, but in fact they are going to attack our country, and we had better take precautions as soon as possible. ”
Fortunately, Kang Gong was not too stupid, so he sent troops to focus on defending the direction of Chu State, and the Chu army stopped the operation.
When Zhong Wuregret and they came to Yongcheng, the capital of Qin, the clothes on their bodies had been hung in tatters by the shrubs in the mountains, and they were sleeping in the open air, if it weren't for the swords hanging on their waists, they were really similar to beggars.
Zhong Wuregret stood not far away, watching Yongcheng, the ancient capital of the Qin Dynasty, outside the tall city walls, the moat formed a natural barrier by the water that attracted it.
Zhong Wuregret decided to eat something first, and then order two sets of clothes for each person, looking like this is really damaging to the image of the Chu State.
Yongcheng is very large, and the streets are in the shape of a "well" staggered structure, which seems to be scattered. The streets are lined with shops, restaurants and handicraft workshops, and it is bustling with people. Zhong Wuregret often hears people call brothels "Qinlou Chu Pavilion", but when he comes to Yongcheng, it seems that there are not many Qinglou, and they are not as "prostitute" as Chu State.
Zhong Wuregret led everyone to a good restaurant, the restaurant's Xiao Er looked at their tattered clothes, doubted, and just wanted to drive them to the side, but Zhong Wuregret's eyes swept away, so that he couldn't help but shudder, and then saw that all the strong men had swords around their waists, and Xiao Er had to take them to a side room.
As soon as they entered the wing, Zhong Wuregret instructed Xiao Er to bring their best wine and food, and Xiao Er left after agreeing. However, Zhong Wuregret did not come to the first class or the second class of the wine and food they wanted, and there was a lot of eating and drinking all around.
Zhong Wuregret felt that the situation was not right, and he decided to go out to see what was going on himself.
As soon as he went out, he saw Xiao Er coming over with two brocade-robed boys, and behind the two brocade-robed boys, followed by a group of menacing thugs.
As soon as he saw Zhong Wuregret, Xiao Er pointed at him and said, "It's them!" (To be continued.) )
