Chapter 230: The Great Tribulation Comes
"Joan, how is that possible?" The big boss stood up from the chair, his eyebrows furrowed tightly: "With his little strength, he dares to fight Lao Tzu?" ”
The big boss rushed out after the knife, and the appearance of being full of evil was very scary.
But before he could gather his men, his stomach began to hurt. I wanted to endure it, but I was really anxious. There is no way, so I have to ask someone to preside over the overall situation and lead the troops to resist the enemy.
"As long as you can stand up, you will give Lao Tzu to the front to meet the enemy. Whoever can kill Qiao An, Lao Tzu will make him a military advisor and reward him with two thousand taels of silver. ”
The big boss had high hopes for Yang Pan, but he never thought that Yang Pan drugged the brother of the cottage.
Now that the big boss is squatting in the thatched house and can't get out, Yang Pan naturally took his cronies to open the mountain gate for Qiao An.
When Qiao An's army rushed in, everyone knew that Yang Pan was actually Neiying.
"You traitor, you don't die well."
The people who were loyal to the big boss raised their knives and slashed at Yang Pan, and the words of greeting the eighteenth generation of their ancestors were really unbearable. But more people are protecting Yang Pan, and they can't stop their lives if they are clicked.
The big boss who was trapped in the thatched house got the letter, and he was so angry that he couldn't care about his weak legs, and directly led his troops to block the back mountain.
Regardless of whether the woman hiding in the back mountain is Yang Miao or star fruit, they are important people to Qiao An and Yang Pan. Hold her in your hands, at least let them throw a rat trap.
But I thought that those soldiers in the back mountain were full of hatred for the imperial court, and even if they didn't take refuge in him, they would definitely not help Qiao An. He thought that the old, weak, sick and disabled were not to be afraid, but he did not expect that the more than 1,000 cronies he brought with him would all die under the knives of those people.
When the steel knife was on his neck, he asked Zhou Huazi angrily with blood-red eyes: "You still have to work for the court, have you forgotten how they were to eat the people in the first place?" ”
Zhou Huazi tightened her hand holding the knife, and hatred burst out of her eyes: "How much better are you than them?" ”
"At least, I saved the lives of all of you. If it weren't for me, which of you would have lived? The big boss gritted his teeth and said: "If it weren't for Lao Tzu to ask for a doctor and buy medicine for you, would you have the strength to kill Lao Tzu now?" ”
It's okay not to mention it, but when it comes to it, the people in the back mountains hate it so much.
It was star fruit that was the one who took their lives, and it was all the doctors who helped to consider the prescription. As for this big boss, what remains in everyone's impression is the torches thrown into the valley like meteors.
"Joan has a total of more than 2,000 troops, and he can't make any climate." Seeing that Zhou Huazi's face was a lot, the big boss hurriedly persuaded him: "The officials of the imperial court don't have good things, so it's better for us to join forces and take down the surname Qiao first." There are more than 3,000 of you here, and many of my brothers are following me. After the surname Qiao is slaughtered, the accounts between us will be settled, what do you think? ”
"Not good!" Zhou Huazi ordered someone to tie him up as a gift to Lord Qiao.
"The woman behind you is Qiao An's daughter-in-law who is petted in the palm of her hand. As long as you hold her, you will definitely be able to defeat Joan. The big boss felt that he couldn't live, but even if he died, he refused to let Qiao An and Yang Pan have a good time: "You will give you the whole cottage, as long as you help me kill Yang Pan and kill Qiao An." ”
Star fruit watched and listened from the side, and her heart immediately rose to her throat.
She understands the disappointment of the people of Xihuo in the court, and she sees the wealth of the cottage even more. Under the interests of gold and silver, how many people can not waver?
In particular, they used to be surrendered to the army, and even if they returned to the imperial court after meritorious service, they may not be able to offset it with merit and not be punished.
She looked straight at Zhou Huazi, and had a thousand words to persuade in her heart, but she couldn't say anything when the words came to her mouth.
"Who is rare in your cottage, and who wants to be a bandit?" Without waiting for Zhou Huazi to answer, his subordinates had already shouted out indignantly.
They blocked Zhou Huazi's mouth with a sweat towel and pushed him down.
Carambola's clenched heart relaxed, and she smiled gratefully at Zhou Huazi: "Thank you!" ”
She thought she was calm enough, but when she said it, she knew that she was hoarse and trembling, and tears fell uncontrollably.
"You saved all of our lives!" Zhou Huazi smiled at the star fruit, and said in a sonorous tone: "Don't worry, the brothers will never do anything to hurt you." If you want to be a mountain bandit, you can't wait now. ”
The fighting outside was loud, and Zhou Huazi had no intention of chatting with star fruit, so he only saluted hastily and then went to command the battle.
The big boss was arrested, and the team loyal to him in the front yard became a plate of scattered sand. Yang Pan rebelled in the team, and Zhou Huazi suddenly attacked from behind. It didn't take long for the entire cottage to be brought under control.
In this battle, Qiao An's side did not hurt a single soldier.
Such a record, no matter who should be happy and proud. But Joan's brows were tightly furrowed, and there was no joy at all.
"What do you have to worry about?" Looking at Qiao An's face, Guard Zhang couldn't help but ask.
Qiao An shook her head lightly and handed over the follow-up matters such as counting the prisoners to Yang Pan. He stood on a high place, his eyes still wandering the crowd. It wasn't until he saw the star fruit in the crowd that he couldn't take his eyes off it.
The star fruit in the crowd always felt that there was a hot gaze on her, and when she looked back, she saw Joan on the high platform.
At that moment, tears welled up in his eyes.
Although it was tears, the star fruit's eyes were full of smiles. She stood quietly in the crowd, quietly looking at Joan, who was thinner than when they were separated, and her whole heart was full.
He wanted to run towards Joan, but Joan had already looked away and jumped off the platform.
On the way back to the county seat with the captive, the star fruit sitting in the carriage never saw Qiao An again. Thinking that Qiao An was busy, she didn't take it to heart.
But she lived in the county government office for three days, and she still never saw Qiao An again. Even if she made delicious food and went to the study, she was always stopped by the master.
Carambola was very aggrieved, she didn't know what she had done wrong, what was Joan angry about.
On this day, the kitchen gave her another tonic medicine, and the star fruit retreated. The cook was really in a hurry, so the star fruit poured all the tonic and a large bowl of chicken soup into the spittoon: "What about Joan, what is he busy with?" Since you don't like to see each other, why did you send you to send these things? ”
"Don't be angry, Madam, Lord Qiao is busy......"
"So busy that he doesn't even eat or sleep, he is so busy that he doesn't have time to say a word to me, and even if I go into the study to bring him a bowl of soup, I have to delay his business?"
The cook was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to answer, and the star fruit slumped and sat down in her chair and fell silent.
She knew that she had no reason to lose her temper with the cook, but she was holding back the fire in her heart, and if she didn't send it out, she was afraid that she would not be able to stand it.
It's such a fuss, and I don't have the heart to eat. I had a headache when I slept too much at noon, and I put chopsticks in the evening without eating two bites.
When the cook came to collect the bowl, she looked at the star fruit twice, but she didn't say anything. But when it was time to sleep, Joan, who hadn't been seen for a long time, came.
"Why don't you eat?" Qiao Anjian frowned, standing at the door from afar and looking at the star fruit, with a displeased expression.
Star fruit was originally full of grievances, but looking at Qiao An's black face and listening to his cold voice, she didn't want to say anything.
She was lying on the bed facing the door, but she turned over and turned her back to Joan.
"Are you still wronged?" Qiao An said in a deep voice. I washed myself and sat on the edge of the bed: "You don't need me at all, I won't come to you to save your eyes, you should eat and sleep well." ”
Carambola was holding her neck in the quilt and still refused to pay attention to him.
Joan wanted to burrow into the quilt, but the star fruit pressed the quilt and refused to let him in. Qiao An sighed and hugged her into her arms with the quilt: "You can also bully me." ”
Star fruit struggled hard to break free of his embrace, but he couldn't beat his strength, and he was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched: "Who bullied whom?" ”
At this sound, tears rolled down.
Anyway, they all roared out, and the star fruit simply vented her happiness: "Since you went down the cottage, you have been hiding and refusing to see me, why did I provoke you, why did I dislike you?" I've died in the cottage for nine lifetimes, and if I hadn't thought about your good, I wouldn't have survived a long time ago. It's so easy to look forward to you coming, just like this to me? ”
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and then she threw her fists directly at him.
"Do you still know that in the cottage is nine deaths? Do you still know that I am good to you? Qiao An sighed, pinched the star fruit and said not to let her move: "I'm just busy with government affairs, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have been wronged like this, so have you ever thought about my feelings when I heard that you entered the back mountain alone?" ”
Carambola wanted to break free of the clamped hand, but Qiao An refused to let go: "Where is the back mountain?" If you don't think about yourself, you should think about me at home. It's just that he went, and he dared to reveal his identity. It's because Zhou Huazi has a noble character, if you change it to a slightly utilitarian and greedy one, you still have the life to lose your temper with me here? ”
"Thousands of people are waiting to be cured, am I going to sit idly by?" Besides, those are all officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and I saved them to win the hearts of your subordinates and people.
"As a result, does it work?" Qiao An couldn't help but knock a shudder on her forehead, star fruit glared at him in pain, and he also stared back with wide eyes: "If you are not infected with the plague, you have accumulated virtue for several lifetimes!" If it weren't for Luo Niang's help and Yang Pan's maneuvering, I would be looking for a doctor and looking for medicine here, and those people in the back mountain would be able to live now? ”
"If I hadn't been steady inside, they wouldn't have had to wait for an antidote."
"Still think you're justified?"
Although the star fruit said that he didn't give in to Qiao An at all, he hugged himself into his arms, and the star fruit's anger dissipated half. When she knew that Qiao Ann was angry because she was completely worried about her safety, she was not angry at all, and her heart was still happy.
Now seeing that Qiao An was annoyed again, she obediently bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "It's me messing around, I'm unreasonable." ”
"Then you still dare to have sex with me, and toss yourself by pouring medicine and skipping meals?" Qiao An poked her forehead and didn't hide the star fruit, he poked and poked himself, but he felt distressed first: "Look at what the hell the weight has become, this wind blows a little harder, and it can directly blow you into the sky." ”
Carambola looked at Qiao An and smirked, tugging at his sleeve pitifully and said, "I'm hungry." ”
"Well deserved!"
Qiao An scolded her, but got out of bed and put on her shoes: "Wait, I'll go and make you a bowl of noodles." ”
"I'm with you!" Carambola hurriedly chased Qiao An out of bed, and as soon as she put on her shoes, someone knocked on the door. Immediately afterwards, the master's voice sounded at the door: "My lord, something happened in Beijing, have you rested?" ”
Qiao An opened the door, and the master couldn't wait to speak: "The first emperor died, and the crown prince ascended the throne." Our catastrophe is coming! ”
