Chapter 169: Taking a Desperate Approach (2)
Lan Ruo had a shallow smile on her face, Qiao'er frowned, and asked: "Bold, even if you leave, you should come to the mother in person to confess and ask for your guilt, just invite someone to bow back and forth, and it is inevitable that you don't take the queen in your eyes!" β
The chamberlain fell to his knees suddenly, and he didn't dare to come out. But she didn't want Lan Ruo to have no emotion at all, she said: "It's okay, she has already told Bengong today, and Bengong agreed, okay, you go down to be your errand, don't kneel here." β
As if he had been pardoned, the little chamberlain quickly thanked him and left shaking his legs.
Qiao'er endured and endured, but still asked: "Niangniang, this-" Lan Ruo picked up the silver spoon and scooped a spoonful of red date soup, tasted it carefully, and then said: "If you want to fish, you naturally need a long line, and always pull the bait by your side, how can you let the enemy take the bait?" β
Qiao'er still didn't understand, but when she saw that Lan Ruo no longer had the meaning to continue, she stopped her words and focused on Lan Ruo.
On the other side, Wang Lang had already investigated what He Xi had ordered.
When he rushed back to the farmhouse, He Xi was writing something on the paper, and every time Wang Lang saw He Xi's dress, he always missed half a beat in his heart, he forced himself not to look at He Xi's face, and arched his hand: "My subordinates have found out what is behind the high wall." β
He Xi raised his head from the case, raised his face slightly and asked, "What is it?" β
Wang Lang said: "It's a small valley. β
He Xi sighed softly, the end was tactful, her eyes swept over the paper in front of her, picked it up and said, "You can send this letter to that child's hand." β
Wang Lang said with some embarrassment: "Little master, that's just a child, you are not afraid-"
He Xi's eyes naturally had a calm and calm attitude, and she said: "Although he is a child, he dares to plan such a big thing at a young age, and we can only believe him, right?" β
Wang Lang sighed, put the letterhead into his cuffs, and said, "Then what should we do?" β
He Xi got up slowly, and whispered something to Wang Lang's simple instructions, and Wang Lang listened to the order.
After Wang Lang left, He Xi took people out of the door, the people in the city were panicked, and there was a tense atmosphere everywhere. What's more, both men and women, have silk scarves around their faces, and the stores that open their doors to do business are not much better, and the wormwood is burning in the door and in the house, all day long.
The most pleasant are the homeless and wandering people, who are allowed to roam freely on the empty streets, and no one will drive them away, and no one will show them for no reason.
Perhaps this is the best for them, they sit or lie down, and some of them lie like that in the smoke of wormwood, take a deep breath, and enjoy the rare peace of their lives.
He Xi and several people were all dressed in slim ink-colored robes, coupled with He Xi's bright eyes and bright teeth, starry eyes like dust, and no veil, which attracted everyone's sideways glances, looking at their eyes, it was like looking at monsters.
He Xi walked to a shop, and before he could speak, he heard a violent bang, and the door of the shop was slammed shut by the shopkeeper.
I faintly heard the people inside scolding and scolding: "Get out, where do you want to go, don't look for bad luck in me!" β
Behind her, Yuewei wanted to step forward to theorize, but was stopped by He Xi reaching out, she slowly shook her head, and said, "Forget it-"
Such a situation breeds the devil in the heart of every human being, who cannot see in their eyes, the compassion of all beings, and the suffering of the world, but who can blame them for being wrong? He Xi turned around and left, the people around him who were going to buy, saw He Xi approaching, they all took a few steps back from a distance, looking vigilant, He Xi didn't care, and took the moon guard around a few alleys, and then arrived at a more remote place, although it is remote, but it is better to say, the people here are all very peaceful, they are in rags, sitting or lying, and their dirty hands are holding the scraps that they don't know where to ask for it, but at such a time, some eat better than not to eat, but the appearance of He Xi and others, Like an uninvited guest, everyone looked at He Xi and the others with a wary look. He Xi turned around and nodded to the subordinates behind him, and with He Xi's movements, he immediately stepped forward, took out the package in his hand and said, "Here is some silver and clothes, in exchange, we want your clothes-"
As soon as the words fell, there was silence in the field, even the sound of breathing was almost inaudible, and there was a stalemate like a confrontation, and finally someone said: "Who are you, what do you want our clothes to do?" β
Obviously, they are still very wary of He Xi and the others.
He Xi said loudly: "I have our own reason, these silver taels are enough for each of you to live for a period of time, and you don't have to ask for it everywhere, please think about it carefully, I am here waiting for your answer." He Xi's eyes swept over a person who was shrinking in the corner, that person entered the alley from He Xi and others, until He Xi proposed to exchange clothes, this person seemed to be inaudible, half-closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, He Xi retracted his gaze, took a few steps back, lowered his hands and waited aside, sure enough, immediately there was a person who was active and moved, slowly moved, He Xi was full of sincerity, she opened the package and put it in the middle of the alley, to ensure that everyone could see the contents of the package, after someone confirmed that there was a silver tael inside, The joy on his face couldn't be suppressed, but the amazing thing was that these people should have been extremely vicious, but none of them stepped forward to rob them madly, He Xi carefully looked at the looks on everyone's faces, they were hesitating and hesitating.
Finally, the man in the corner opened his eyes and stood up, his eyes were full of sharpness, and he opened his mouth and said, "It's okay to change, but you have to tell us what to do in exchange-"
The sound was as if it had been cut by something, and it was like a sharp knife cutting through scrap metal, and the sound of tearing made his throat hurt.
He Xi's gaze softened, and she smiled lightly: "No matter what we do, I can guarantee that this matter will definitely not implicate you, no one knows that we have been here, even if we leave, no one knows, as for the reason, I can't tell you, forgive me." He Xi advanced and retreated, and suddenly the man seemed to be furious, and scolded loudly: "Crazy, all crazy, you are all crazy!" Xiaoyu too, you are all here, you will die if you do this, do you know! He Xi frowned slightly, this person knew their intentions, the crowd that was still excited, but the joy gradually subsided, and a ragged old woman came out of the back of the crowd, with tears in her eyes and said: "Child, listen to the advice of the eldest mother, don't go back, the government won't let you, and what can you solve if you go back?" A voice in the crowd immediately responded: "That's it, don't go back, Xiaoyu's child and his fellow villagers have been arrested, you are tantamount to throwing yourself into a net." "Everyone, you say, I say, obviously He Xi's intentions have been seen through by them, or rather, from the beginning, they know their intentions.
He Xi raised a smile on her lips, first saluted respectfully to the eldest lady, and then said: "Auntie, I understand everything you say, but the fallen leaves return to the roots, there-" She suddenly paused, and said solemnly: "There are important people for me there, I must go back." β
After that, she lifted the hem of her clothes and knelt on the ground upright, and she said to the man: "As long as Mr. says a word today, we can get what we want, and ask Mr. to fulfill it." β
The man looked at He Xi as if puzzled, and said in a deep voice: "Is it really that important?" He Xi bowed his head, the man closed his eyes slightly, as if he was impatient, waved his hand at the person behind him, and immediately someone stepped forward, what did he order, He Xi only saw that everyone received their clothes and silver taels in the package in an orderly manner, bypassed the back of the alley, and changed their clothes. He Xi arched his hand to the man and said, "Mr. Xie-" The man didn't seem to appreciate it, but just snorted coldly and scolded: "It's all idiots-" He Xi smiled and said nothing, and waited until he collected his clothes, then he said goodbye and left, and when he returned to the house, Wang Lang came back from the direction of the cell, saw the package He Xi was carrying, and said with some curiosity: "This is-" He Xi tilted his face slightly in the direction of the room, signaled to go in and said, Wang Lang came back to his senses, and knew that this was not the place to speak, so he followed He Xi into the room.
Covering the doors and windows, He Xi opened the package, and a pungent smell came to his face, Wang Lang just frowned and said, "What is this?" β
He Xi said: "Let our people wear these, disguise themselves as beggars, and we will enter Shu tonight!" β
He Xi's fingers swiped lightly across the map in front of him, and then retracted suddenly, as if something had burned it. Wang Lang replied and retreated.
On the other side, Wang Lang bought off the jailer, only saying that he was a friend of the little beggar and wanted to pass a message to the little beggar, and the jailer didn't know a few words, but Wang Lang was generous, and the man didn't suspect him, so he took advantage of the food delivery and slipped in.
Xiaoyu was already anxious in the prison at this time, like ants on a hot pot, and in the four corners of the cell, there were more than a dozen people sitting scattered, and everyone's face was surprisingly calm.
No, it's not so much calm as desperation.
The jailer walked up to Xiao Yu, who was the youngest of these prisoners, and he was also very small and very easy to recognize.
He walked up, knocked on the iron cell door with the hilt of his sword, and said, "You, comeβ"
