Chapter 81: Buried Alive
Zhu Yuan has been hiding back, plus he has grilled so many fish, and he has been busy making fish soup for half a day, he has long been exhausted, and he can't hold on to Ning Bosheng's "approaching", and he will fall backwards all of a sudden.
Fortunately, Ning Bosheng reached out and took her back, half-hugged her, and whispered in her ear:
"Of course, seeing that you are as beautiful as a flower, people can't take their eyes off it."
The low, magnetic voice was in her ears, and the warm breath sprayed on her small and white earlobes, making Zhu Yuan tremble.
"What did the prince say, I'll go clean up."
Zhu Yuan felt that his face was burning, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he suddenly pushed Ning Bosheng away, covered his face and got into the small tent that belonged to him and Ning Baibei.
Seeing her "fleeing in the wilderness", Ning Bosheng let out a low laugh, and the anger of being ambushed and the heavy feeling of not being able to beat the prey disappeared at this moment.
Zhu Yuan returned to the tent, waved his hand to take the tired and asleep Bai Bei into the space, and lay down in a daze to calm his agitated mood.
I don't know how long it took, there was a burst of laughter outside, and Zhu Yuan blinked, knowing that those elite soldiers should have seen the river pond built by Bai Bei.
This time, even if Ning Bosheng doubts himself, he should be dispelled, right?
Zhu Yuan thought about it and yawned, she was really tired.
He rolled over, thinking that he would let Bai Bei let some fish in tomorrow morning, and then slowly fell asleep.
......
In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Yuan asked Ning Baibei to release the fish while no one was ready, and he began to make fish porridge, mixing the remaining little rice with fish meat and boiling it into fragrant fish porridge.
The elite soldiers, who had eaten and slept well, came out of their tents in good spirits, and then drank delicious fish porridge, and praised Zhu Yuan's good craftsmanship.
Zhu Yuan smiled and accepted their praise, and then proposed to Ning Bosheng to catch the fish in the river pond and make them into dried fish, which is not only convenient to carry but also ensures that everyone can eat well.
As soon as the suggestion came out, before Ning Bosheng could speak, someone had already echoed it and said that it was a good idea.
In a blink of an eye, it was noon three days later, and Ning Bosheng and his party were about to go down the mountain, and after going down the mountain and walking south for most of the day, they could reach the small county on the edge of the state capital.
Ning Bosheng rode a horse at the front, and suddenly, he raised his hand.
"Stop, there's a situation."
As soon as Zhuo Ge saw his prince's gesture, he immediately lowered his voice and ordered backwards.
The large army stopped, and the people who were standing by in place became vigilant.
Ning Bosheng dismounted and walked forward for a while, hiding his figure behind a tree.
Zhuo Ge was the leader of Ning Bosheng's personal guards, so naturally he couldn't let the prince leave his line of sight for a moment, followed King Rui's side, and followed his line of sight.
Through the gap in the trees, Zhuo Ge saw that at the foot of the mountain, a group of county government soldiers pushed a group of people into the big pit they had dug, one after another, and roughly speaking, there were fifty or sixty people.
Obviously everyone is alive, why push them into the pit? Is it buried alive?
This thought rushed into his mind, Zhuo Ge's face froze, and he hurriedly looked at King Rui.
He wanted to be buried alive, and Ruiwang Ning Bosheng understood the intentions of those people before him, and his face was cold and terrifying.
"Lord Wang, this ......"
Zhuo Ge wanted to ask what to do, but was stopped by a gesture from King Rui, who looked at the place where King Rui was staring at in confusion.
It turned out that there was also a black-painted carriage over there, also under the shade of trees.
Someone said something beside the carriage, and then he saw the man in the carriage raise a curtain, because it was too far away to see the man's face or hear what was said.
Then I saw the man outside the carriage make a gesture to the government soldiers, and I saw that the government soldiers sped up, dressed the people so that everyone pushed them into the big pit, and then lifted the earth.
The muscles on Ning Bosheng's face tensed, and his fists clenched tightly.
What did those people do to be buried alive? Besides, how many people can mobilize government soldiers?
Seeing a group of government soldiers throwing soil on the struggling people in the pit one by one, Ning Bosheng strode back with a cold face, turned over his horse, drew his long sword, and rushed out first.
"Rush!"
Zhuog followed him closely, and at the sound of an order, two thousand elite soldiers were ready to attack, followed them closely, and rushed to the foot of the mountain.
There were not many soldiers at the foot of the mountain, and there were more than 100 people, and when they saw the high-headed horses rushing over, they immediately panicked.
Ning Bosheng rode towards the black-lacquered carriage, swinging his sword on the way, taking the life of one of the nearest government soldiers.
"Quick! Hurry up, stop him! ”
As soon as the curtain corner of the carriage was raised, the people inside obviously guessed Ning Bosheng's identity, and when they saw him menacing, they immediately loudly ordered the coachman to leave.
The carriage turned around and was about to leave, Ning Bosheng knew the truth that the thief captured the king first, and besides, he also needed to know who this "bold" official was.
However, this person was very cautious, not only traveling in a black painted carriage, but also surrounded by more than a dozen thugs with strong martial arts.
Suddenly, Ning Bosheng was stopped and entangled with several thugs.
"Kill him, and a thousand taels of gold will be yours."
The people in the carriage didn't know whether they were afraid that they would be caught up and their identities would be exposed, or if they simply wanted Ning Bosheng's life, and they opened their mouths to be a thousand taels of gold.
Maybe a thousand taels of gold is nothing in the eyes of the imperial magnates in Kyoto, but in such a county, it is a wealth that tops the sky.
As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and wealth is in danger, as soon as these words came out, even those fleeing soldiers began to gather to Ning Bosheng's side.
There were also some clever government soldiers who pulled out the tied people to block the knives, and they howled miserably for a while.
After running around for days, Zhu Yuan took Ning Baibei and Imperial Physician Huo in the same carriage, and suddenly changed, and when they arrived, they saw a crooked corpse and a large pit that was half buried.
Although Zhu Yuan is also a person who has escaped death, he still feels that his legs and feet are weak when he sees this scene, and his face is pale.
Try not to think about it too much, Zhu Yuan stumbled to the edge of the pit, digging with his bare hands, trying to rescue the people.
Looking at the faces full of hope and tears, Zhu Yuan gritted his teeth and scraped the soil fiercely.
Behind her, a soldier with a broken arm trembled and got up, raised his sword, and slashed at Zhu Yuan.
"Mother!" Ning Baibei, who was in the carriage behind him, saw it and exclaimed, and was about to release the fish out and kill him.
As a result, a long sword flew and stabbed the man in half.
Zhu Yuan heard a "poof", blood splashed on her shoulders and cheeks, and when she turned around, she just saw the government soldier whose body was pierced, and she fell to the ground in fright.
Just... He was going to kill himself just now, right?
Stunned to see the corpse fall, Zhu Yuan was speechless for a long time in shock, until Ning Baibei ran over and hugged her, and she realized that she had indeed passed by death.
Zhu Yuan's hands trembled, and he looked at Ning Bosheng on horseback in the distance, his eyes were hot, and tears fell.
Almost, almost never to see him again.
