Chapter Eighty-Seven: Murder and Heart
Early the next morning, the cold wind was cold, the banner embroidered with the word Shun was raised high with the wind, Qujiang rose very early, and those soldiers were also solemnly lined up in rows, and Qujiang wore a solemn face in military uniform.
"Qu Jiangjun is in a hurry to leave here? Why don't you stay here for another two days? ”
Qu Jiang is in a hurry to go back, where is he still the heart to stay here, if it weren't for the fact that it is not easy to walk in the snow at night, according to Qu Jiang's somewhat anxious temperament, it is estimated that he will go back overnight last night.
"No, no, since the emperor's order has been completed, we have to go back earlier, and if we go back three or two days later, these hundreds of soldiers will not be able to catch up with the reunion in Beijing."
"Yes, then I won't be forced to stay, the general went on the road earlier, and the journey was smooth."
Qu Jiang arched his hand, immediately got on the horse, and ordered with a wave of his hand: "Go, return to Beijing,"
"Yes, yes, yes."
This sound of hundreds of people shouted out in unison three times is the word, the momentum is loud, loud in the sky above the city post station here, in a remote firewood house, Liuxiang woke up leisurely, but she found that her hands and feet were tied, not only that, the so-called caution made the Wannian ship, last night's Liu Mu in order to be foolproof, but also afraid that Qu Jiang would know, ordered someone to change her into Yanbei's clothes.
In this way, whoever looks at it will have the first impression that it is a native of Yanbei, and will not think that it is Miss Prime Minister's Mansion who came all the way from the capital.
Now Liuxiang's dress is too far from that of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
She saw that her clothes were different from the clothes of the Great Shun Kingdom, and she was even more panicked, it was estimated that this was no longer the boundary of the Great Shun Kingdom, and when she thought of this, she desperately wanted to break free of the rope that tied her wrists.
She struggled, her wrists were red in a big circle, maybe the person who was tied up overnight yesterday was a little sleepy, and he didn't tie the dead knot, Liuxiang's wrist had obvious marks, she couldn't do it, she gritted her teeth and wanted to relieve some pain, but fortunately, her hand still broke free.
I didn't have time to see my injury, I quickly untied the rope on my feet, and then the cat slowly paced to the door, and sure enough, I saw that there were still two people guarding there, and she went to the window again, through the old window paper on the window, and did not see the guard, she couldn't help but be happy, and quickly tried to see if she could open the window.
But she tried for a long time, but the window would not open, and she did not dare to make the movement too loud, and looked back at the door frequently, always afraid that someone would suddenly come in there, and tiptoed to the window on the other side.
In addition to a gate, there are three windows in total, Liuxiang looked at them one by one, although these windows are dilapidated, but they are all closed, Liuxiang can't help but feel more desperate in her heart.
She slid feebly down the window in the northwest corner, staring blankly ahead.
Immediately heard the mighty shout, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and hurriedly looked through the gap to the source of the sound, she saw many dense soldiers standing there, it seemed that there was a general on the high-headed horse, not only that, but she saw the banner embroidered with the word Shun sailing high, that exclamation, she almost broke out, but she was still suppressed, this sudden retraction of the breath, let her breath not smooth, coughed violently.
The person outside the door heard the movement and quickly opened the door and came in.
Liuxiang heard the sound of unlocking the chain outside the door, and hurriedly took it into account.
The two girls walked in, and when they saw that they were coughing and out of breath, they looked at each other in a panic, and immediately helped Liuxiang up together, and said with concern: "Girl, what's wrong with you?" What's uncomfortable? ”
Ruka pointed to her forehead and then to her chest, as if to tell them that she couldn't speak at the moment.
These two girls are also kind-hearted people, one of them hurriedly attached his hand to Liuxiang's forehead, touched it for a while, and exclaimed: "It's terrible, this girl is afraid that she slept in the firewood room last night, and the weather is freezing with the wind." My forehead is very cold, and I am afraid that I am sick. ”
"Yes, you see, coughing so fiercely, if you cough up tuberculosis this winter, it won't be a joke."
The two girls looked worried, and one of them hurriedly said, "Sister Susu, you are taking care of this girl here, I will go and ask the doctor to come and take a look at this girl now." ”
Liuxiang is indeed a little top-heavy, but because of hunger, along the way, the ghost hand carving is afraid of people running away, so he always gives a steamed bun a day, plus a bowl of rice with some vegetables, and even the meat is not given to Liuxiang to eat a little, Liuxiang always wakes up hungry in the middle of the night and wants to escape, but has not woken up and walked two steps, the ghost hand carving will follow Liuxiang silently.
Liuxiang coughed so much that her face was red and her neck was thick, and she covered her chest with all her might, and Su Su saw that she kept looking at the tea cup on the table, and asked tentatively, "Girl, do you mean to drink water?" ”
Hearing this, Liuxiang nodded vigorously, a look of hope leaked from her eyes, and she saw that the girl's mind softened, and she hurriedly relieved: "The kettle on this table is empty, I'll ask someone to get you hot." ”
Liuxiang chick nodded again and again as if pecking rice, the girl helped Liuxiang to the edge of the table and sat down, and was about to go outside to find someone to bring tea in, but Liuxiang just looked at the four directions of the southeast and north from the three windows, and there was no one at the south-facing gate, except for these two girls.
Su Su left, leaving the back of her head completely to Liuxiang, who was quick to pick up the porcelain teapot on the table and smashed it on her head when she just took two steps.
With the sound of porcelain cracking, the back of Su Su's head also bloomed, the hard porcelain of the teapot shattered to the ground, and Su Su's whole person fell softly, and Liuxiang herself was actually frightened, and she was even more panicked when she saw the blood gradually spreading along Su Su's hair to the entire floor.
She jerked away what little fragment she had left, and looked at the empty door in alarm.
She swallowed a big gulp of saliva in panic and rushed out the door.
Murder and heart-!!
It didn't take long for her to come back, and she knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Su Su, how heavy her guilt was at this moment, and how heavy her head was when she hit the ground.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just want to go home, soon, someone will find out about you, your sister has also gone to the doctor, you will be saved, there will be saved, there will be saved."
Liuxiang was scared in her heart, she was still alive, talking to her, asking her if she was uncomfortable The girl was smashed by her and lost half her life, her heart trembled so much, she got up after saying these words in pieces.
After the three heads were knocked over, Liuxiang's head was scarlet, and she took one last look at Su Su, who was lying motionless on the ground, her whole body was cold, and cold sweat flowed from her head, and she muttered: "I know that you are also acting according to orders, I am really sorry, I am really sorry, I am sorry." ”
Liuxiang also knew that time was urgent, and ran away with a grunt after saying this.
Maybe it's because the people at the post station went to see off Qu Xiaojun today, and no one saw her all the way over, or some people saw her, and she was only in a hurry to join in the fun, so she didn't pay any attention.
Not only that, but there are almost no people who know Liuxiang here, and Liuxiang covered her face with a gauze towel as soon as she went out.
The closer she got to the place where the red flag was flying, the more excited she became, but there were more and more people, in order not to let people find out, Liuxiang pretended to cover her mouth with a handkerchief, she covered it exaggeratedly, and half of her face was covered, and when she saw someone looking at her, she pretended to cough.
Sure enough, the person in front of her covered his mouth and nose and walked away, and said with a frowning disgust: "They are all sick, and they came out to join in the fun." ”
Liuxiang didn't care, just apologized: "I'm sorry for this little brother, I just felt a cold occasional cold." ”
Liuxiang learned well along the way, and she didn't say that she was the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she didn't even say the three words of Miss Ben, who usually called herself.
When the man heard this, he just waved his sleeves and left, as if he was afraid that Liuxiang would infect him with the wind and cold, and walked to the other side to join in the fun.
The farewell ceremony was very grand, and it took about half an hour to finish, and Liuxiang saw the general sitting on a tall horse, and commanded with a wave of his hand: "Return to Beijing." ”
After saying this, he turned the horse's head and was about to set off to go back, Liuxiang had already squeezed in front of the people at this moment, and when he saw the familiar military uniform belonging to the Great Shun Kingdom, he couldn't help but have hot eyes, and couldn't help but run under the horse of Qujiang.
Qu Jiang was ready to get up, but it seemed that he saw a figure running under his horse, and thought it was a playful child, so he couldn't help but tighten the reins again, the horse was in pain, and the front hooves were raised high, and they were about to step on Liuxiang's face.
Qu Jiang was in a hurry, and the reins jerked to the side, landing on the left side of Liuxiang.
The horses were panting, especially in this winter, and they were even more impatient to step on the iron hooves, as if all the people followed the horses to reproach Ruxiang's impulsiveness and ignorance.
Liuxiang herself was even more frightened, and her little face, which had been tortured for days, was even more frightened and colorless, frightened, and she didn't dare to move.
"Who dares to trespass like this, don't you want to die?"
It was Liu Mu who spoke, because he was wearing Yanbei's clothes, and Liuxiang covered his face from beginning to end, Liu Mu couldn't see his face clearly, thinking that it was a girl from Yanbei who blocked Qujiang's way back to Beijing, which was offending Da Shunguo.
Na Qu Jiang didn't glare at her angrily like this Liu Mu, nor did he scold her, and even got off the horse and asked with concern: "It's because my horse driving skills are not skilled enough, I surprised the girl, does the girl think it's okay?" ”
Liu Mu walked over at this moment and smiled at Qu Jiang: "This woman is also a good age at first glance, and she must be the majesty of General Simu." ”
Liuxiang is actually not stupid, she should be able to think about it, the person who guards her has changed, and she always feels that she has heard this voice somewhere, and it feels familiar, but she can't remember it for a while.
"The adults laughed, this woman may just want to come and join in the fun, the hour is not early, and it really can't be delayed any longer."
"Yes, yes, General, please get on your horse."
Qu Jiang nodded, glanced at the girl uneasily, and even though he was about to turn around and get on the horse, but before he turned around, Liuxiang grabbed his wrist at once, and dragged it tightly.
