In an instant, Li Xu's sanity recovered from his confusion.

He knew that he had no reason to be angry, he was now an official, and those who were killed, insulted, and damaged were thieves, although they looked similar to their parents, and although they could see their former shadows from each other, it was natural for officers and soldiers to catch thieves since ancient times.

He also knew that he couldn't do anything, and unless he rebelled, he had no power, and there was no way to save so many people. Even if he saved these people by all means, he did not have the strength to place them. Unless you also learn from Shizihe to be a rogue, take a group of innocent people to rob and kill more innocent people!

Looking at Qin Shubao's concerned gaze, Li Xu felt that his body was weak and sleepy. This is a downright sense of powerlessness, and he has been powerless once in the Su Si Department back then. Today, under the same circumstances, he still can't do anything but be angry.

"Zhong Jian, have you been too tired lately?" Qin Shubao smiled and looked for Li Xu to go down the stairs, and at that moment just now, he could clearly feel the anger on Li Xu's body. But the concentration of the young man in front of him was amazing, and his anger was quickly controlled by himself. This made Qin Shubao value the other party even more, because when he was the same age, he would never be as old as the other party. As a person who has come over, Qin Shubao understands that if you feel that there is nothing to do in the world, it can only mean that you have not grown up yet. When does a person understand that his power is limited, he is truly approaching maturity.

"Hmmm! I'm a little tired, and I'm a little unaccustomed to the atmosphere here! Li Xu replied so lowly, as if a moan came from within his soul. He couldn't explain to Qin Shubao why he lost his temper, people's views on things are closely related to their personal experience, Qin Shubao's father is not a small trader on the verge of losing his family's wealth, he will not understand the difficult life of the people in the market, and he will not understand why Xu Zi would hurt him.

"There are too many people, and there is a lot of noise. If it weren't for Shixin's family in a hurry to hire people, I wouldn't have come! Qin Shubao echoed Xuzi's words very generously, and the smile on his face was calm and friendly.

"I want to go back and drink some wine first, if Brother Uncle Bao doesn't mind, I'll go first!" After the anger, Asahiko felt not only powerless, but also disappointed. When he watched the barbaric acts of the herdsmen in the Su Si Ministry, he was convinced that the same thing would not happen to his Great Sui. At that time, he also wishfully asked the caravan to bring some books from the Central Plains, hoping that after reading the words of the sage, those barbaric shepherds would be influenced by the elegant style of the Central Plains. But now, with a wry smile, Asahiko finally understands how naïve her original idea was. Removing those prosperous appearances, the Central Plains people in their bones are actually as cruel and barbaric as the people outside the Saiwai.

After receiving Qin Shubao's affirmative answer, Li Xu slowly led his mount, turned around and walked back. As soon as he took a few steps, the crowd around him suddenly went into chaos, and a louder noise came from behind. Spectators and buyers shouted excitedly, waving their money bags and rushing towards the prison door.

"What's going on?" Xuzi turned his head in surprise and saw that another batch of goods had been replaced on the wooden platform a few steps away. To be exact, only one person was replaced this time. A girl in rags, with a weak body, and her hands and feet are shackled. His head was limply lowered, and his body trembled with fear.

"The official sells the wife of the bandits, and he is twenty-eight years old. Huanghua virgin, Tong Su is not bullied! Si Cang, who joined the army, saw the crowd surging in the audience, and shouted more and more hard.

"It's casual to buy it back as a slave and a concubine, the daughter-in-law of the bandit leader Shizihe!" As if to let the audience see the appearance of the goods clearly, he pulled the chain in his hand hard. With a bang, the girl was dragged forward by him and staggered a few steps, almost falling. A kind soldier stepped forward to help, and the girl looked up to thank her at the moment she stabilized her body, and her eyes flashed with desolation and fear.

The gaze was like a knife, and it stabbed Xuzi in the heart. He suddenly remembered the little wolf Ganro, when he had killed the she-wolf and brought it home from the cave. What Ganro opened was a pair of eyes that were mixed with fear, desolation, and begging.

"How much, how much!" In my ears, countless people shouted loudly.

"Sell it in the kiln, and everyone will take turns to take revenge at night!" The atmosphere in the audience was instantaneous, and the spectators and buyers pushed each other and shouted.

They don't care about the beauty or ugliness of the girl on stage, and they don't care if she's guilty or not. What they care about is the name Shizihe, think about the daughter-in-law who slept with the bandit leader Shizihe last night, so it is not enough to be proud of defeating the bandit leader himself on the battlefield? What Qin Shubao, what Luo Shixin, do they have this blessing and courage?

"At least, at least five hangings. No, who, whoever gives more, I, I'll sell to! Lao Xu, who was in charge of handling the captives, didn't expect people to be so enthusiastic, first instinctively quoted a high price, and then quickly changed his tune to strive for the greatest profit.

With the acquiescence of the government, there are people and cities in the surrounding counties. The untrained and the girl can be sold for two dollars at most, even if she looks beautiful and lovely, at best, she will only be sold for three dollars. Lao Xu quoted the price of five hangings to a bandit family, which has far exceeded the market price. Therefore, a lot of discontent immediately surged in the crowd.

"Phew, it's not a beautiful woman. Actually sold for this price! Someone pinched his purse and turned away.

"That's it, isn't it just a female prisoner! It's not gold! "Someone echoed it in extremely vulgar language.

At the same time, more people were attracted by the fresh gameplay that Lao Xu said, and quoted a better price. "I'll add three hundred wen!" "I'll add five hundred!" "Six hangings!" "Six hangings and one hundred wen!" In the blink of an eye, the girl's worth has risen to more than seven hangings.

"Ten hangs, Lao Xu, leave people for me." Xuzi couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly. The girl on the stage, like Ganluo, floated from the river of fate. He could not refuse, whether it was happiness or misfortune. If he turns around and walks away today without doing anything, he knows that he will not be at peace in his life.

Wow, countless pairs of eyes returned. Ten yuan, even in Licheng, a place with expensive food prices, is enough for a family of five to spend seven or eight years! Where did the rich man come from to be so arrogant? Is it the loser of a big family? With suspicion in their hearts, everyone saw a young man leading a black horse, with a beard and a broad back, striding apart from the crowd and walking step by step to the bottom of the wooden platform.

"It's General Lee. Do you really want to buy this woman? Lao Xu's nodding and bowing demeanor made the audience understand the identity of the visitor. It was Li Zhongjian, who became a tiger tooth general at the age of eighteen, no wonder he dared to make this price. But he doesn't need to buy it, if he likes this woman, he can go home directly from Zhang Juncheng after the war, why wait until now and spend this unjust money?

"Old Xu, open the lock. I'll take this man away. money, and then you send someone to my house to get it! Xuzi ignored the bewildered gazes around her and ordered in a deep voice.

"Alas, alas!" Lao Xu agreed and looked at Qin Shubao. Ten hangs is 10,000 yuan, enough to push a small cart to move, and no one will carry that much on him, so he doesn't plan to receive cash immediately. But the identity of the woman in her hand is strange, and everyone else can buy it, but Li Lang is the only one who bought it.

This woman Qin Shubao was captured, and on the battlefield, she once claimed to be the daughter-in-law snatched by Shi Zihe, and personally stabbed the dying Shi Zihe. But later reported by other captives that this woman was Shi Zihe's daughter Shi Erya. Shi Zihe was poisoned when he went to Pei Changcai's banquet, and when the official army broke through the ancestral hall of Xujiawopu, he was already exhausted.

Master Zhang Xuluo, who saw through the other party's tricks, couldn't let go of the bandit's leader's daughter-in-law, but he couldn't bear to behead him. That's why he pretended to be confused and ordered Lao Xu to sell him to a big family as a slave. Doing so is tantamount to leaving a way for the other party to survive, and at the same time, it also saves Qin Shubao and the others some trouble.

"Lao Xu, since Li Lang is going to buy it, you can sell it to him. Don't ask him for ten hangings, count it as five! Qin Shubao smiled at Lao Xu and ordered.

"Alas, alas!" Lao Xu stretched out his hand and wiped the sweat on his head, "Grandma, this winter, the sun is quite poisonous." He muttered mockingly to himself as he untied the chains from the woman's feet. The iron chain in his hand was puzzled, and he handed the key, one end of the iron chain and the deed of sale stamped by the government to Li Xu.

"General Li, you have taken it. This woman is so fierce, since you bought it, you have to discipline and discipline it well! ”

"It's troublesome. Trouble Uncle Bao! Li Xu took a dry of miscellaneous items handed over by Lao Xu, first greeted Qin Shubao, and then gently led the woman down the wooden platform.

Shi Erya, who had carefully seen everything that had just happened, no longer resisted, lowered his head, and walked slowly behind Li Xu. The onlookers moved out of the way, and there was always a trace of awe in their hearts for the generals sent by the imperial court.

But after hundreds of steps, Xuzi walked profusely and sweated. After leaving the human market, he turned around and opened the handcuffs for Shi Erya. Although the woman's brother was not killed by him, and it was not his idea to sell her into slavery, Xuzi still felt weak. He didn't understand why he felt this way, and he didn't know why he was so impulsive just now, and when he saw the helpless gaze of the other party in the crowd, he was already a little confused.

"Let's go!" He whispered. Without waiting for a thank-you gesture, he jumped on his mount as fast as he could, slammed his legs into the stirrups, and ran towards the city gate.

There was the sound of small footsteps behind me, vague but distinct. Li Xu knew that Shi Erya was chasing after him, so he had to hold back Heifeng.

"Doesn't the general want me to be a slave?" The man who caught up asked breathlessly.

"You weren't supposed to be a slave!" Li Xu jumped off the horse and turned around and said. "Let's go, don't be a rogue, there is no future in robbing houses."

"But my deed of sale is still in the general's hands!" As if feeling the embarrassment on Li Xu's body, Shi Erya smiled lightly and reminded. The smile on her face quickly entered her heart with her breathing. She felt her heart laugh as well, a knife piercing deep into her soul.

"Oh!" Li Xu touched the back of his head in embarrassment, and then found the deed of sale as quickly as he could, and stuffed it back into Shi Erya's hand. After doing this, he took out more than 200 yuan from the purse behind the saddle, and handed it to Shi Erya along with the purse, "Money, you take it too, on the way, buy some food on the road!" ”

"General's surname?" Shi Erya raised his head and asked.

"Don't be surnamed Li! I'm new here! Xuzi replied incoherently. He didn't want to be remembered by the other party as a benefactor for the rest of his life, and in a trance, he always felt that the gods were doing it by his own hands, just like he left Ganluo at the beginning. As for what the gods in the underworld wanted to do with his hands, Xuzi didn't want to be too clear. He is an official, and the other party is a thief, and it is enough for both sides to remember this.

"Little woman Shi Lan, thank General Li for his life!" Shi Erya held the purse and bent down to kneel. Her eyes were bright, and her fiery gaze swept over every inch of the skin of a teenager who was not much older than herself. The bridge of the nose is high, the eyebrows are thick, the beard is just beginning to thicken, the corners of the lips are hard, and the strong arms are ....... Unlike every man I've ever seen, although he is young, he feels very safe and reliable.

"Girl, please get up!" Li Xu saw that the other party knelt down to him, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help. The moment the two of them touched each other, a strange feeling surged into his heart. Warm and delicate, this feeling has not been tasted for a long time, and Xuzi has slowly forgotten the taste.

He looked into the other party's eyes and whispered another sentence: "Don't think about revenge anymore, on the battlefield, you will either be killed or the enemy will be killed." After that, no one is anyone's enemy. Besides, Qin Shubao's martial arts are very high, and you are definitely not his opponent! ”

"I've never hated General Qin!" The woman on the other side is always calmer than Xuzi imagined. All the words had been prepared from the time he uttered the first sentence, and when the kind advice was over, she immediately gave him an affirmative answer.

As for whether this statement is true or not, no one can tell.

"That's good!" Asahiko nodded, relieved. Everything that had to be done was done, he thought about it, realized that nothing had been missed this time, and jumped on the horse again.

"Is the general gone like this?" Shi Lan raised her head, and there was a rare trace of expectation in her eyes.

"I, I've got something to do in the city!" Li Xu felt that his heart was beating wildly again, and he quickly turned the horse's head. "You can hire a car at the city gate, and the girl walks slowly!" After dropping a rather decent goodbye, he finally fled like the wind.

"It turned out to be a reckless boy who didn't understand the world!" Shi Lan held the purse and watched the back of the black wind disappear into the city gate. Such a young man is rare, she silently calculated, and her eyes slowly became desolate.

She never hated Qin Shubao, she didn't hate it at all. But she lost her father, her brother, and everything she once had overnight......

A tear slipped from the corner of her eye, over her dirty face, revealing her fair skin beneath the dust. Then it mixed with the blood that flowed from the corners of his mouth, slowly rolled over his chin, and landed on the cold earth.

Shi Lan wiped his face vigorously and walked towards the city gate with his head up.
