There is no abnormality in the army, and the battle situation is still a one-sided situation, the destruction of the enemy is just around the corner, and now even the mountain passage has been sealed, obviously everything is fine, but they are all so serious, Mu Qing thought that his father had an accident, but he never thought that it would be Xi Niang and Pang Qianyou who were taken hostage.

Pang Qianyou doesn't care, but Xi Niang!

"A strong attack will inevitably cause casualties, the bows and crossbows built by the Mu family cannot be underestimated, since they can be trapped alive, the generals of all battalions are reluctant to send troops, saying that they will wait a few more days, and the hungry and crazy enemy army will not even have the strength to fire bows and crossbows, and it is the best time to attack the city." Returning to the camp tent, Mu Qing washed his face in the basin, he was covered with dust, took off his hardened clothes, and heard Pang Shifeng say worriedly, "Qi Hui and I didn't want the people in the city to starve to death, so we discussed this compromise with them, and now this kind of thing suddenly happened, and they refused to give in." The letter sent by the uncle said that they were looking for gold, but because they were outnumbered, they took Xi Niang as a hostage and escaped. ”

Mu Qing listened and asked simply: "What do you mean, don't save?" ”

Qi Hui said: "Of course you have to save it." ”

Mu Qing was already murderous, and asked, "Where are the people now, in the city?" ”

Shi Feng shook his head: "It's just that it's not in the city, and the generals think that if we withdraw our soldiers and horses to rescue the hostages, it will give them a chance to break through the siege." ”

Mu Qing sneered: "The mountain road has been sealed, where do they run, take the mountain road, do they still have the strength to climb the mountain?" ”

"Mu Qing ......" Shi Feng saw Mu Qing turn around and leave, thinking that he was impulsive to save people, and he caught up and wanted to stop him, but he heard Mu Qing say, "I'll go to bathe and change clothes, and I can wash out muddy water on my body." ”

Shi Feng didn't stop him anymore, and after Mu Qing left, Qi Hui stepped forward and patted Shi Feng on the shoulder and said, "Leave it to him." ”

Mu Qingzhen went back to take a bath, he stayed in the mountains for so long, every day the sand and stones flew, his hair could shake off the sand, a basin of water poured down, and he tossed for a long time before he finally refreshed, and several generals came to congratulate him on blocking the mountain road, but Qi Hui didn't say a word, and went straight back to the camp to change his clothes.

In the tent, Mu Qing swallowed a steamed bun in his mouth, tied his clothes tightly in his hand, turned around and sent the steamed bun down with hot tea, but saw Mu Yin leaning out half of her body in front of the door, the little girl smiled and said, "Brother, are you going to save Xi Niang?" ”

Mu Qing stuffed the remaining steamed buns and asked, "Isn't it possible?" ”

Mu Yin was wearing armor, and every step was sonorous, and she ran and said, "If you wait like this, I might as well go back to Beijing, what is this called war." ”

Mu Qingdao: "What is there to play in a war, the generals are not wrong, it is the best thing to be able to win without injuring a single soldier or a single soldier." They regard their soldiers as brothers, and they care about their lives and refuse to send troops to save people, even if Xi Niang dies, I won't blame them, these are two different things. ”

"I'm going too, brother, you take me, there's not Pang Qianyou, you can take care of Xi Niang, what should Pang Qianyou do, give her to me." Mu Yin smiled, pulling out the reasons that she didn't think was worth convincing, she actually couldn't stay in this military camp anymore, and she waited every day, and even her pride and ambition to kill her uncle faded.

"Stay honest." Mu Qing had a serious face, and there was no discussion at all, "Don't make trouble for Qi Hui and Shifeng, they are different from us, it's not that Pang Shifeng doesn't save his sister in cold blood, and it's not that Qi Hui can calmly watch Xi Niang's death, the two of them have come to this point, and they will have to deal with these people for a lifetime in the future, but our Mu family can never have anything to do with them." ”

"Since it is irrelevant......"

"Mu Yin, I still have to keep you to take care of my father." Mu Qing patted her cousin's head and said, "Who knows if I can come back?" ”

"Brother?" Mu Yin grabbed his arm tightly.

At this time, someone came in front of the door, and the tall and burly figure knew at a glance that it was Wei Meng, and he leaned against the door and said, "Miss, the horses are ready." ”

Mu Yin hurriedly said to Mu Qing when she heard this: "I asked Wei Meng to prepare a horse, brother, you can ride a horse and go, if you don't let Wei Meng follow, I won't go, I'll listen to you." ”

Mu Qing tightened his belt, shook his head and said: "No one has to follow, I don't know where they are now, you and Qi Hui are staying here, your uncle is in the city, remember to avenge your father and brother." ”

He put down these words, and went out like a gust of wind, Wei Meng led the way for Mu Gongzi with a serious face, and when he arrived at the back of the camp, there were already several horses waiting. Mu Qing picked the most compatible horse, didn't say anything, raised the whip and left. His close guard heard the movement and was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Mu Yin and said, "There are many people who are easy to expose their whereabouts, and he doesn't want any of you to follow." ”

Before the news reached the battalion, several generals were silent, anyway, Mu Qing left alone, it didn't affect their plans, it was always impossible to save people, but if they were asked to send troops to save people, they couldn't do it. Qi Hui and Shi Feng didn't show anything in front of people, but they still secretly sent people to follow Mu Qing in private, thinking that he was indeed flexible in acting alone, but it was not easy to really deal with a group of people.

On this side, Xi Niang and Qianyou were tossed all the way here, and they were hiding in the town not far from the enemy army, and the people here were only suffering from the earthquake, but fortunately there was no threat from the enemy army, and the overall situation ahead had been decided, they were busy rebuilding their homes after the earthquake, although the city was not a mess, but it was dusty every day, and people came and went and looked chaotic.

Xi Niang and Qianyou have been tied up for a long time, and they have already shown symptoms of poor blood congestion, and if they continue like this, they may hurt their lives, so after being locked here, their hands and feet have been removed, and their mouths are no longer tightly blocked.

However, they don't know where they are, they don't see the light of day along the way, and they only have a few mouthfuls of water and a few mouthfuls of dry food when they stop occasionally, even if Pang Qianyou pesters and asks what's going on, no one will answer, and if they annoy the person who delivers the food, they will be punched and kicked, and after one or two times, Pang Qianyou doesn't dare to toss anymore.

To this day, it has been countless days since she was held hostage, Qianyou was wearing Xiangxiang's red clothes, but she was disgusted too eye-catching, and she took it off halfway, when those men took off her clothes, Pang Qianyou thought that she would be raped, although in the end she just changed into an inconspicuous cloth clothes, but from that day on, Pang Qianyou was a little abnormal.

She was sometimes sober and sometimes confused, Xi Niang looked at her coldly for several days, and couldn't tell what was going on with her, she hoped that Qianyou could escape here with her, but when Pang Qianyou was sober, they were tied up and gagged, and the two couldn't even say a word except for eye contact, although her hands and feet were free, but she was stupid when she was good and bad, and Xi Niang knew that she couldn't be trusted.

Let's say that Mu Qing followed the clues provided by Qi Hui to find here, the people in the entire city are busy with post-disaster reconstruction, although the imperial court disaster relief food money was delivered in time, but the collapsed houses cannot be built in a day, Qi Hui walked through the streets, and every household was doing the same thing, but in this way, those places where there was no movement were abnormal.

On this day, it seems that the news was sent back from the front, asking the people here to send Xi Niang and Qianyou out, and the army besieging them had no intention of backing down, and they even threatened to kill the people in the city, but they were sent a few coffins and stopped outside the city, unmoved, so they wanted to send Xi Niang and a few people over immediately, they knew that one of these two women was Pang Shifeng's own sister.

But there is a contradiction between the people here, there is no doubt that there is no chance of winning now, relying on these two women alone, it may not be able to change anything, this side is invisibly divided into two factions, on the one hand, I hope to release Xi Niang and Qianyou, they are disbanded on the spot, mixed into the victims, so as to find a way to live, naturally the other side is to send Xi Niang and the two as hostages, never betray the master.

Xi Niang would hear them arguing from time to time under the window, in her opinion, this was the hope of escaping, but every time she turned around and saw Pang Qianyou staying aside, she didn't know if she was going alone or taking her. Morally, she can't leave Qianyou, but Pang Qianyou is confused and yelling halfway through, won't they be able to escape?

Xi Niang didn't even dare to try to communicate with Qianyou, she became abnormal from time to time, and even hugged the person who came to deliver the meal and cried, Xi Niang was afraid that she would talk nonsense for a while, so she would say her own words. As I see more and more days spent here, the more hopeful it becomes.

There was a fierce dispute between the people outside the house that day, Pang Qianyou was so frightened that he got under the table, but Xi Niang hoped that they could break their heads to give themselves a chance to escape, but the dispute outside finally stopped. Xi Niang watched in disappointment as the light coming through the gap became darker and darker, knowing that another day had passed.

In the middle of the night, when she was sleeping in a daze wrapped in tattered cotton wool, Xi Niang was woken up by the loud noise, thinking that Pang Qianyou had another seizure, but she slept soundly on the side, and the noisy sound didn't wake her up.

Outside, it was like the sound of a fight, she leaned under the window and listened carefully, and soon the movement stopped, and there was a sound of footsteps, and the locked door suddenly opened, and a tall man broke in, with a heavy bloody breath, and read in his mouth: "Send you on your way." ”

Someone else came in the back, lit a lantern and lit the room, the man brandished a bloody knife, first saw the illuminated Pang Qianyou, and dragged her up from the ground, and the Qianyou who woke up from the dream didn't know what was going on, but she was scratched, instinctively yelled and waved her hands around, her nails cut the man's face, she was still on the ground, the man rubbed his cheeks and scolded his mother, and slashed with a knife.

Xi Niang thought about it, but where did she get the strength to confront them, seeing him cut down with a knife, grabbed the broken chair next to him and fell over, the man was completely lively, scolding vulgar words, suddenly laughed hideously, and said to his companion: "It's better to sleep with these two women first, let's go after enough fun." ”
