Chapter 097: The Fish That Slipped Through the Net
Fengxue rode a white horse, tightly wrapped in fox fur to resist the increasingly fierce night wind, glared at Huai Zong dissatisfiedly, and pouted: "Brother, what's wrong with you, pull people up and go back to the grassland in the middle of the night, what if you encounter a wolf?" ”
Huai Zong looked at her with a smile, "Ah Xue, it's not terrible to encounter wolves, I'm afraid of the wolves who protect the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion, if they are surrounded tomorrow, there will be no chance for us to escape." ”
"Are they crazy enough to come and arrest people in Tito's tent?"
"Hehe, it's okay to help say a few lies, if you really want him to turn his face for me and the man, he doesn't have the guts." Huai Zong gently shook the horsewhip, urging the horse forward, and said: "And if I am caught by the man, Nanlou will definitely not admit that it has anything to do with this, and Ti Tu is a scapegoat." Maybe......" He thought about it and said with a smile: "I'm a little suspicious now, this was originally a plan of the old dog in Nanlou." ”
Fengxue blinked suspiciously, not understanding what Huai Zong said, and after a while, she understood a little: "You were recognized?" ”
"I don't know, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be. But I can't guarantee that the kid named Liu Xiu seemed to be suspicious, and inquired about the royal court of Danhan Mountain, and deliberately said something disrespectful to the king to test me. Huai Zong laughed, "I suspect he may have heard my name." ”
"How could he have heard of your name?" Feng Xue dismissed: "The Han people can't understand our names at all, and they can't even tell the Wuhuan people and the Xianbei people, and everyone looks similar, how can they recognize you by listening to a name, I think you are suspicious." ”
"It's always good to be cautious." Huai Zong said, suddenly raised his hand to interrupt the wind and snow, and turned his head to look behind. When Feng Xue saw it, he also turned his head to look back, only glanced at it, then his face changed, and he hurriedly waved his horsewhip and urged forward: "Hurry up!" Come on! ”
Huai Zong disagreed: "It's okay, these men don't dare to chase after me, once they find out that I am not in the Tifu camp and can't find evidence, they will definitely not dare to continue to investigate, maybe Tituo will bite them back." He shook his horsewhip, thought for a while, and smiled meaningfully: "That man is really a cunning wolf, he actually smelled me, but unfortunately he is still a step too slow." Well, it's a pity that he's a Han Chinese, if it's on the grassland, maybe we'll be good friends. ”
"The Han people will be the enemy." Feng Xue glanced at him: "That man is very deceitful, you have to be careful." ”
"It's okay, he's a Confucian student, and he wants to go to Luoyang, and he won't join the army on the frontier." Huai Zong smiled: "Ah Xue, haven't you always said that he has a manly temperament, why do you say that he is cheating again?" ”
"Humph!" Feng Xue wrinkled his nose, did not answer, and urged the mount forward. Huai Zong shook his head with a smile and rushed up.
Wang Chan and the others took advantage of the excitement and returned in defeat, they did not find Huai Zong in Ti Tu's tent, although they knew that what Liu Xiu said was not wrong at all, but they did not catch Huai Zong, they could not testify against Ti Tu, but they were found by Ti Tu, saying that they took advantage of the night to bring troops to surround his tent and were suspected of robbery, and they had to protect the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion to give an explanation, otherwise they would definitely report the case to Lord Assassin Shi.
Wang Chan was so angry that his nose was crooked, so he had to swallow his anger and apologize. He did not give up, and chased more than 300 cavalry to the grassland for several miles, searched for most of the night, and did not return to the city until dawn. He wanted to complain to Liu Xiu, but when he saw Liu Xiu like that, he swallowed all the loss back into his stomach.
With the help of Mao Yan and Xian Yuyin, Liu Xiu bought a coffin for Dunwu and sent him back to his hometown for burial. Dunwu's hometown is more than 100 miles southwest of Ning County, at the foot of Shaoxian Mountain, in a small village on the side of Dunshui, there is no one at home, only a dilapidated house with leaky wind everywhere, and after asking a few vigilant villagers, he finally found the ancestral grave of his family.
Standing in front of the new grave, Mao Yan's sigh dispersed with the wind: "I only know that before the Marquis Dunjun came to my house, he used to be a nurse in a wealthy family in Luoyang, but I didn't expect this wealthy family to be the Dou family." No wonder he suddenly disappeared for half a year that year, and when he came back, he refused to say anything, it turned out that he was escorting Dou Tong's father and son to escape. ”
Xian Yuyin also sighed: "Brother Yan Rou was trapped in the Wuhuan people that time, but I didn't expect the Dou family to actually become a Hu person, and the ancestors of the Dou family must not have imagined it." ”
"I don't care if they think about it, anyway, this revenge must be avenged." Liu Xiu knelt in front of the grave on one leg, held on to the brand-new tombstone, stroked the words "Tomb of the Righteous Warriors" on it, and said in a deep voice: "Thinking that there are such descendants, the ancestors of the Dou family will also feel ashamed and refuse to enjoy their sacrifices, so I will be a good person and clean up the portal for them." ”
"Deran, don't mess around." Mao Yan frowned and reminded: "Although the Dou family has gone to the grassland, their father and son are connected, and there are many people who sympathize with them. Your husband also saluted Uncle Dou to the deacon......" She hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Don't mistake yourself. In any case, Dunwu was originally a guest of the Dou family, and it stands to reason that he was obliged to die for the Dou family, not someone who wanted to kill the Dou family like now, and the Dou family killed him justifiably. ”
"The name of bullshit is right." Liu Xiu turned his head and glared at Mao Yan angrily: "Does it mean that Dunwu has been your family's protector, and he will work hard for your family in the future?" ”
Mao Yan was angry, but she didn't want to argue with Liu Xiu at this time, so she just turned her head away.
"Deran, Miss Mao is for your good." Xian Yuyin saw that the atmosphere was embarrassing, and hurriedly said: "Not to mention whether Dunwu should be born and die for the Dou family, just talk about yourself, if you kill someone, won't you also be imprisoned?" Go back to Zhuo County, although the Dou family is bold, they don't dare to chase after Zhuo County. ”
"No, I'll wait for him in Ningcheng." Liu Xiu stood up and shook his head gently: "Don't worry, I won't mess around, now he wants to kill me, I'm just defending myself, the law of the Han Dynasty will never protect a rebel." If someone really thinks that my life is not as noble as the Dou family, I have no objection to killing a few more people, regardless of whether he is a famous person or not. ”
"Idiot!" Mao Yan couldn't hold back any longer, took a bite at him, turned around and left.
"Deran, you can't do this." Xian Yuyin frowned and persuaded: "Although you and Dunwu are also teachers and friends, and they are also within Wulun, he died to remind you, and it is also the righteousness of you to avenge him." But this matter is too complicated, not only involving individuals, but also involving the situation in Youzhou, involving the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion, and it must not be done carelessly. ”
Hearing this, Liu Xiu turned around and glanced at Xian Yuyin up and down, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Boyu, to be honest, are you also looking forward to war with the Hu people?" ”
Xian Yuyin's face flushed, and he smiled a little reluctantly: "Don't talk nonsense." ”
"Well, don't take me for not knowing. Whether it's the Hu people or you warriors, you're all looking forward to a fight, but it's just those big clans and Confucian scholars who are standing in the middle. Originally, I didn't want to make a lot of trouble, but now that it's on me, I don't mind helping you make things bigger. Huai Zong dared to come to Ningcheng to inquire about the situation, do we still have to shrink our necks and pretend to be turtles? This dog said that the Xianbei people are too deceitful and too much, you Xianyu Boyu can endure it, but I can't bear it. ”
Xian Yuyin shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal. As Liu Xiu said, he is also looking forward to going to war, so that he can have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but this idea is only his own, and it does not mean that he is rarely in the family. Of course, he could guess what Xia Yu was thinking, but these words were not easy to say, and everyone knew it.
Liu Xiu looked at the green mountains in the distance, and suddenly sneered again: "Our family doesn't have any industry anyway, if we really want to cause trouble, our family of three can run away with an ox cart, as for you wealthy families, hehe, I'll see what you do." If you want to use me as a sword, I'm afraid that you won't be able to eat and walk around in the end. ”
Xian Yuyin couldn't help it: "Deran, you're too damaged, right?" If you want to kill someone, do you want all of us to bury you with you? ”
"You don't have to be buried with you, you can also choose to resist." Liu Xiu patted Xian Yuyin on the shoulder: "Boyu, I just did what you want to do but dare not do, why are you so excited?" ”
Xian Yuyin is speechless.
