Chapter 29: Keeping Promises
In the middle of the night that day, Li Shimin and his men finally caught up with the army.
Li Yuan glanced at the black sacks on Tang Jian and Duan Zhixuan's horses, and his eyes stayed on Wang Yu, who was sleeping soundly against Li Shimin, "Is the matter done?" ”
Li Shimin replied: "It's done." ”
"Let's go, then."
Li Yuan gave an order: "Let's go." ”
Cheng Zhijie and the three of them drove to Li Shimin's side, and also looked at the two hemp bags.
At this time, Cheng Zhijie, Xu Shixian, and Zhang Liang were already wearing the armor of Li Yuan's army and became a cavalryman.
Cheng Zhijie asked Li Shimin curiously: "If you let us go, aren't you afraid that we will run away halfway?" ”
Li Shimin smiled, his face full of confidence: "I believe in my own vision. ”
is really an arrogant and narcissistic guy, Zhang Liang complained in his heart.
Cheng Zhijie didn't say anything more and continued to follow the team.
****
The next day.
Zhang Xutuo swept around and found that there were two people missing: "What about Qin Qiong?" What about Luo Shixin? ”
The subordinate replied: "General Qiyu, the two of them didn't come today, I went to the place where they lived to find it, and I didn't come back, I heard that the two of them went out last night and didn't come back." ”
Someone stood up and said, "General, I saw them going to the north of the city yesterday, and I heard that they were looking for Qin Qiong's brother." ”
"Brother? His father was only one of his sons, and where did he come from? "Zhang Xutuo values Qin Qiong and knows the situation at home very clearly.
This person happened to follow Qin Qiong to the government office yesterday, and told Zhang Xutuo everything he saw yesterday, "... General, didn't Qin Qiongmo follow his brother back to Qizhou? ”
"Nonsense."
Zhang Xutuo scolded, and said: "Qin Qiong will not return to Qizhou, even if he wants to leave, he will tell me, and he will never disappear silently like this."
"His brother was begging all the way to Xingyang, and there is nowhere else to go, he must still be in Xingyang.
"A few of you, go find it for me, even if you go through Xingyang City, you must find Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin."
......
After dawn, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin woke up, kicking and screaming in the sack, Tang Jian and Duan Zhixuan gave a punch and stopped.
After a while, the two woke up and made trouble again, Tang Jian and Duan Zhixuan concocted the same method, and gave them another fist.
After three days of rushing like this, Qin Qiong and Duan Zhixuan were thirsty and hungry, they had no strength in their bodies, and even their bones were scattered, not to mention making a fuss, they only had to be pinched by others.
"Drink some water."
Wang Yu handed the water and dry food to the two of them.
Luo Shixin didn't care so much, he took the water bladder and poured it into his mouth, too eager, choking: "Ahem..."
"Slow down, no one will rob you."
Hearing this, Luo Shixin coughed and glared at Wang Yu, stinky boy, you wait for me.
Qin Qiong looked at Wang Yu, she wanted to say something but she didn't have the strength, she resented her previous behavior in her heart, and didn't want to use her things, but she was really thirsty, and she struggled in her heart for a while, but she still took the water bladder.
After drinking the water, the two gobbled up dry food.
Seeing their embarrassed appearance, Wang Yu felt sorry in his heart, and said to them sincerely: "I'm sorry." ”
The two of them made a move.
Luo Shixin was furious, raised his hand and was about to drop something, but when he saw that the dry food in his hand was dry, he slowly put it down and scolded: "You stinky boy, I know you don't have a good heart, you say, what are you arresting me for?" ”
"I didn't want to arrest you." Wang Yu said honestly.
Luo Shixin: "......"
Dare him fall to this point, does he deserve it?
Luo Shixin had a violent temper, and he opened his mouth to scold again, but was interrupted by Qin Qiong.
"Why are you arresting me?" Qin Qiong's gaze fell on Wang Yu's face, although he admitted that Wang Yu's eyes were very similar to him, but her behavior... He begs to differ.
Wang Yu sighed lightly, sat on the ground in front of him, and said slowly: "Actually, I don't want to treat my brother like this, it's just that I want to rush back to Taiyuan, and I don't have time to explain to my brother, so I have to make this decision." ”
Qin Qiong looked at her, didn't speak, and waited for her explanation.
"Most of what I told my brother before was true, but I didn't wander all the way to Xingyang, but to Xihe. It was not caught by the bandits in Wagangzhai, but by Zhen Zhai'er.
"It can be regarded as Li Erlang who saved me, and then I followed him to Taiyuan, followed him to Xingyang, and then met my brother.
"Tang Guogong is a bold person, and Li Erlang is also an ambitious person, I want to follow them, but my brother is under Zhang Xutuo's account, and it is impossible for me to leave Xingyang.
"So... I can only use this method to ask my brother to go to Taiyuan with me. ”
I can barely hear this reason.
The qi in Qin Qiong's heart dissipated a little, and she asked the most important question: "I... Is it really your sibling? ”
"Yes."
Wang Yu replied without hesitation, his eyes were extremely sincere and sincere, living in the same global village, how could he not be a compatriot?
"Okay, I'll go to Taiyuan with you."
Happiness came too suddenly, but Wang Yu didn't believe it, "Really? You didn't lie to me? ”
"Don't worry, although you and I were born to the same father, I am different from you, and I never lie." Qin Qiong said lightly.
“......”
Wang Yu raised his hand to stroke his nose and despised himself in his heart.
Before she could make a move, Li Shimin had already solemnly apologized to Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin: "It happened suddenly, and the two of you suffered, Shimin apologized to the two of you here, I can't help the two of you." ”
Li Shimin apologized, and Duan Zhixuan and Tang Jian also apologized: "Two, I'm sorry." ”
Seeing their attitude, Qin Qiong and Luo Shi felt much more comfortable in their confidence, although they still had resentment in their hearts, they were no longer going to make a big move.
Li Shimin summoned his subordinates and handed the weapons to the two: "This is your weapon, and besides, I have prepared horses for the two of you, and I will set off in a quarter of an hour." ”
"Okay."
Wang Yu dragged Li Shimin to the side of the open space and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that the two of them will escape?" ”
Li Shimin seemed very calm: "There is no doubt in employing people, and there is no need to suspect people." ”
That being said, she is too confident, and I don't know where his strong confidence comes from, but she looks like a villain.
Wang Yu was depressed.
Zhang Liang, who was not far away, watched the whole story, and his eyes were full of contempt: "Li Erlang used this method to rob people, what is the difference between him and bandits?"
"Hmph, being a bandit, he's not as good as the people of our Wagang Village."
Xu Shiyun sighed: "In these years, there have been constant fires, and many families have been separated and displaced, and it is not easy for them to recognize each other. ”
"It's a brother who can do a trick? I'll have to ask my brother what he thinks, I can't get used to this kind of banditry anyway. Zhang Liang's face was full of disdain.
Cheng Zhijie said coldly: "Weren't you also a robber before?" ”
“......”
Zhang Liang was speechless, and after a while, he approached the two unwillingly, and whispered: "While they are not paying attention, let's run, anyway, we have horses now." ”
Cheng Zhijie didn't think about it and said: "No, I said that I would make a decision in two months, and I had to keep my promise." ”
Zhang Liang snorted coldly: "What do you still believe in with the enemy..."
Seeing Xu Shiyun glaring at him, the word "promise" finally floated in the air...
After a while, Cheng Zhijie explained: "Li Mizhi is in the world, but Zhai Rang has no ambitions, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, one day, they will definitely turn against each other." At this time, we will not be involved in Wagangzhai, which is not a blessing for us.
"What's more..."
Cheng Zhijie didn't say anything more.
Zhang Liang asked: "What's more?" ”
Cheng Zhijie said meaningfully, "You'll know later."
Xu Shiyun heard Cheng Zhijie's unspoken meaning, and his gaze swept towards those cavalrymen.
Most of Li Yuan's cavalry are regular soldiers, but there are also many heroes in the rivers and lakes, and in the past few days, he has carefully observed the words and deeds of Li Yuan's father and son, and he can see that their ambition is far more than guarding the border pass...
