Chapter 14 Fighting the Banner and Turning the Jade Silk into a Silk
Without a mobile phone or a watch, Yan Chuqing couldn't figure out how long Nie Xuyang had been gone.
Liu Xiangya looked at the door stupidly: "Nie Gongzi will come back." ”
Yan Chuqing rested his head on his bent knees: "If you can come back, you will come back, if you can't come back, we will worship with the king, you are the second and I are the third." ”
Yan Chuqing spoke weakly, she regretted that she should have eaten a few bites of food just now before smashing things.
"Miss Yan, Nie Gongzi is your cousin, why don't you care about it." Liu Xiangya couldn't help but stand up and walked to the door, she squinted her eyes and looked through the thin slit in the wooden door.
"Is it useful if I care about it now? He told us to wait and wait, and if we couldn't wait, wouldn't we have to get married? ”
Liu Xiangya turned around and just wanted to speak, but was cut off by Yan Chuqing.
"Yes, your Miss Liu family is arrogant and fairy, and she can't insult the lintel if she breaks herself. At that time, I will be the second lady, and you will be the late second lady on the tablet. ”
Yan Chuqing didn't have the time to greet this Miss Liu, she just said it bluntly, she felt very cool, no matter what the current situation was, at least she didn't have to think about her every word.
Liu Xiangya thinks that such words are too disproportionate and etiquette, there is no dogma at all, and people who read books must not say such words: "Miss Yan, is there anything about Xiangya offended?" ”
Yan Chuqing didn't raise his head: "There is no place to offend me." ”
"Xiangya has nothing to offend, why does Miss Yan spit out mean words?" Liu Xiangya didn't look outside the door again, but she didn't go back to Yan Chuqing to sit beside her.
Yan Chuqing was so hungry that he didn't want to say a word more, if he waited for Nie Xuyang to come back to save them, he would have to save his strength to run away.
Liu Xiangya regarded Yan Chuqing's refusal to answer as an act of rudeness: "Miss Yan is talking to her parents and elders at home, and her brothers and sisters are talking the same?" ”
Yan Chuqing slowly raised his head and looked at Liu Xiangya.
Liu Xiangya and Yan Chuqing looked at each other, feeling a cold behind them, and she had never seen that kind of cold eyes. Liu Xiangya avoided Yan Chuqing's eyes and took a few steps back, the pace was a little hasty.
There was movement outside the door again, and Liu Xiangya returned to Yan Chuqing's side and sat down, but there was some distance in the middle.
The chains were bypassed round and round, the locks were opened, and Yan Chuqing could clearly hear every step outside the door.
The babbling sound sounded again, and Yan Chuqing looked at the door with bated breath, it didn't seem to be the posture of the guard pushing the door just now.
The door opened, the wind came in like an invisible wave, and in the blink of an eye the candles in the house were blown out, and in the dimness I saw men striding in with knives.
Liu Xiangya was deflated, sure enough, it was still the person who guarded it, the knife was still the same knife, even the armor on the body was the same, and the smell of wine on this person could be smelled from afar.
"Let's go."
This is Nie Xuyang's voice.
By the faint candlelight, Yan Chuqing looked carefully at the door, it was indeed Nie Xuyang.
Yan Chuqing and Liu Xiangya quickly stood up.
"Why is Nie Gongzi you, that person? Didn't get hurt, did you? Liu Xiangya cried with joy.
"What's next?" Yan Chuqing naturally knew that now was not the time to ask more, Nie Xuyang took a knife and changed his clothes, he must have taken care of the guards, and seeing that he could say that he could jump, he must be intact.
"I asked the caretaker just now, this belongs to the back mountain, and there is a path leading down the mountain back mountain. But from where we are now, the path has to go through a small forest, but it is only a few hundred meters away. ”
Liu Xiangya regards all words that they don't understand as their hometown dialect.
Nie Xuyang closed the door of the house, locked it and tied it with a large iron chain. He looked around vigilantly: "Squat down and walk, go to the corner." ”
Liu Xiangya couldn't bear the way she walked, but she had no choice but to escape: "Nie Gongzi, we are all out, why do we have to do so many troublesome things." ”
Yan Chuqing had the impulse again, and beat him indiscriminately to knock out this Liu Xiangya, who had to ask 100,000 whys for everything.
"Now is not the time to dwell on it, I'll tell you when we're down the hill and we're in a safe place. The king and his sister are getting married, and the people in the village are busy decorating the new house, and the rest are celebrating in advance to drink and barbecue meat, so there are not so many people guarding them, but I just took a look, and there are a few people guarding them after we get out of the woods, and we have to lead those people away first when we go down the mountain. ”
Nie Xuyang's speech was fast.
"You see, there are a few small warehouses in that direction where they store their grain. Now I feel that the temperature does not exceed five degrees, here should be their food for the winter, we have lit these, the granary fire is a big deal, the people in the back mountain must see this fire before those who celebrate, when the time comes, the fire will be extinguished, the rescuers will be moved, and the people guarding the back mountain will be attracted by this fire. ”
Yan Chuqing and Liu Xiangya looked in the direction of Nie Xuyang's finger.
"And what if they weren't all led away?" Yan Chuqing thought of igniting the fire, and there was inevitably resistance in his heart.
Nie Xuyang patted his chest: "I dressed up and didn't even see who I was just now, if there are still people guarding me, I have also thought of a post-move, don't worry." ”
"How do you light the fire?" Yan Chuqing saw that Nie Xuyang was empty-handed, did he want to drill wood to make fire?
"There's this thing, I found it from that man, two fire folds."
Nie Xuyang opened the fire fold, blew it, and the spark came out.
Yan Chuqing dodged back.
"You take Miss Liu to wait for me behind that small mound, and I'll order all of this. You go and hide behind the mound, don't look around, I'll go to you when I'm done." ”
"You're too slow alone, I'm afraid you'll come before you finish the order." Yan Chuqing sank and stretched out a hand: "Give me one, you go from left to right, I go from right to left, and we will gather behind the small mound after ordering." ”
Nie Xuyang hesitated with a little apology: "Aren't you afraid of fire?" ”
Yan Chuqing took the fire fold in Nie Xuyang's hand: "It's crooked, do big things now." ”
After speaking, Yan Chuqing walked towards Xiao Cang.
"Nie Gongzi, Xiangya will go with you."
"Miss Liu, it's inconvenient for the two of you to move, you go and wait for me behind the small mound, I'll be here soon."
Nie Xuyang didn't have time to take care of Liu Xiangya anymore, and walked forward quickly.
Liu Xiangya squatted behind the small mound, shivering with cold and fear.
Nie Xuyang instructed her to be looked at by the probe, but she still couldn't help but hide and sneak a look.
The black smoke was higher than the fire, and Liu Xiangya was very anxious, this fire was fierce, why didn't they see anyone yet.
Liu Xiangya's embroidered shoes were retracted back and forth under her dress, and she hesitated to go out behind the small mound to find them.
In the distance, there was a sound of someone shouting, vaguely shouting...... It's on fire...... It's on fire......
Liu Xiangya's heart hung in the air, and the shouting sound was like a thunderbolt on her heart.
"Let's go."
Before Liu Xiangya could react, her hand was held. She thought it was Nie Xuyang.
She wanted to break free, after all, men and women were not kissed, but she was a little reluctant to let go, just when she was struggling with whether to break free, she fixed her eyes and saw clearly that it was Yan Chuqing who was holding her hand, and the strength in Yan Chuqing's hand was not like a woman.
Nie Xuyang opened the way in front, and Yan Chuqing pulled Liu Xiangya to follow closely behind.
They trotted all the way out of the grove.
Nie Xuyang had already stepped on the point, and he had already thought about where they were hiding.
Behind a small mound again.
The three of them gasped quietly.
"You guys hide here, don't come out no matter what happens, I'll call you out again, you know?"
Nie Xuyang looked at Yan Chuqing's eyes, waiting for her to nod and say that she understood.
"Go ahead." Yan Chuqing shook off Liu Xiangya's hand at this time.
"Nie Gongzi be careful!" Liu Xiangya told with concern.
Nie Xuyang straightened his clothes and walked out from behind the small mound with the knife in his hand.
"Don't worry, he can't die." Yan Chuqing's face was indifferent.
"Is Miss Yan really so cold?" Back to a small mound.
Yan Chuqing smiled faintly and did not answer.
Across the grove here, the sound of shouting for fire is getting clearer and clearer, and Yan Chuqing can feel that the bandits in the whole village are busy fighting the fire.
She thought that Nie Xuyang was quite thoughtful, and specially locked the door of the room intact, so that no one could care about such a panicked scene to see if the people inside had escaped, even if they had the heart to see it, as long as they saw that the door was still locked and chained, they would not look into it again, even if the person guarding the door was gone, they would only think that the person had also gone to fight the fire together.
Yan Chujing complained silently in his heart: What did you do early with this intelligence.
"You can go, it's all been driven away by the fire." Nie Xuyang confirmed that there was no danger around.
Still the same as just now, Nie Xuyang opened the way, and they followed.
The road down the mountain is not easy to walk, it is a little steep, and the road has not been repaired, and it should have been stepped on for many years.
They were already walking with great difficulty, and their hearts were uneasy, and they were afraid that someone would chase them at any time. Nie Xuyang felt a little exhausted at this time, he was worried about being discovered, and he had to take care of the two women, for fear that one of them would fall if they didn't stand firm.
"Stop! Where are you going? ”
The sudden sound made the three of them shudder, and Nie Xuyang looked back and didn't see anyone.
The voice came directly in front of them.
Nie Xuyang lifted the knife in his hand, and the person who spoke walked closer and closer to them.
Yan Chuqing's hands were cold, and Liu Xiangya hid behind Yan Chuqing in fright, not daring to look at it.
There was not a single person but a large group of people, all of them with beards, each with a black strap on their heads, dressed similarly to what Nie Xuyang was wearing at the moment, and they all carried axes or knives in their hands.
One of them was still carrying a person on his shoulder, Yan Chuqing thought that Bacheng had robbed someone's girl to come to worship together, did this king still engage in group buying?
Nie Xuyang cleared his throat and strengthened his courage: "The king said that these two women are not appetizing, and now they are going to spend the winter, so he sold them for some silver taels to buy wine for the brothers." He sent his younger brother to do this errand quickly. ”
Nie Xuyang silently recited the blessing of the Bodhisattva in his heart, hoping to get through the confusion.
The man who took the lead lifted the axe and cut it down at Nie Xuyang without saying a word, Nie Xuyang resisted with a knife, Yan Chuqing was right, he had no power to restrain the chicken, even if he was not bare-handed, this knife was useless in his hand.
Yan Chuqing felt that he was on the verge of death again.
