Chapter 18
There are some things that have been decided by birth, like blood, like fate.
He sat down in a dejected manner, picked up the wine cup, and drank it all along with the depression and unwillingness.
As soon as Chu Qiao walked to the city gate, he saw the subordinates of the Zhuge family looking around with lanterns, and when he saw her, he immediately ran over with great joy.
"Xing'er, the fourth young master let us wait for you here, go back to the house quickly."
Chu Qiao was stunned, but she didn't expect that with Zhuge Yue's character, she would also send someone to find her. She nodded, and got into the carriage that had been prepared.
The carriage creaked forward as it walked along the still noisy and lively street market, and the sound outside became quieter and quieter. The child leaned against the inner wall of the carriage, and the massacre just now kept echoing in front of his eyes, the cold-blooded eyes of the soldiers, the bitter hatred of the homeless, and Wei Shuye's powerless obstruction.
With his identity, he can't do anything, let alone his small self. To fight against the entire dynasty with one's own ability is undoubtedly a mantis arm as a car. All she can do now is to live carefully and carefully, look for opportunities to take revenge, and then leave safely with Xiaoba. As for other things, her ability is too small to expect to change anything.
As the carriage rolled and went, Chu Qiao suddenly felt a chill in his heart, lifted the curtain, glanced around, and asked, "This is not the way back to the house, where are you going to take me?" ”
The man was stunned, he didn't expect such a young child to remember the way, and hurriedly smiled and said, "The young master is in the other courtyard, not in the mansion." ”
The child raised his eyebrows and said cautiously: "Courtyard, which courtyard?" ”
"The annex to the west of the lake."
Chu Qiao's brows were tightly locked, and the prudence that had occurred spontaneously from years of dangerous work secretly reminded her that things were a little strange, and she said tentatively: "I haven't had time to pick up the things that the young master asked me to go back to the house to get before, let's go back to the house first, and then go to the other courtyard." ”
The man smiled and said, "Don't worry, the young master just said, there is no need to take the things, he is waiting in the other courtyard, let's go quickly, don't let the young master wait." ”
Chu Qiao nodded slowly, his face was calm, and he let go of the curtain and lowered it. The family Ding breathed a sigh of relief, a trace of cunning looked crossed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were gently raised, but at the moment when the smile on the corner of his mouth had just expanded, a cold dagger suddenly hit his neck.
The child and little beast took advantage of the situation, and said in a cold voice with a gloomy face: "You are not the fourth young master's person, who are you?" ”
"Hehe," a hoarse chuckle like a night owl suddenly sounded on the side, a gorgeous carriage slowly came out from behind the bushes, and the gorgeously dressed old man smiled lewdly at the man who nodded and bowed to the side, "It's really good, the temper is so stubborn at a young age, and the appearance is not bad, I will reward you well when I turn around." ”
Zhu Shun said with a flattering smile: "It is the duty of a slave to share the worries of the second old lady, and if the second old lady rewards the slave, he will not give the slave the opportunity to serve you." ”
The old man smiled and said to the attendants on the left and right, "Send this little girl back to the house." ”
Everyone suddenly agreed, and immediately surrounded them.
At that moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind, and Chu Qiao knew that she could take advantage of the other party's contempt and carelessness, quickly burst out and hurt people and then fled. But if this is the case, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others, especially Zhu Shun, who has a broken hand, even if he escapes by luck, it will affect Xiaoba, who is still in the mansion. But if she doesn't escape, she will fall into the hands of this old pervert, and when the time comes, with the ability of an eight-year-old child, how can she fight against the entire security guard of Zhuge Beppu?
To escape, or not to escape?
Chu Qiao's body was tense, but his brain was running rapidly, why not take this opportunity to get rid of this lustful old man?
In the midst of the lightning and fire, the powerful man was already approaching in front of him, and he was about to unload the dagger in her hand.
"Wait!" A clear low shout suddenly sounded, everyone turned their heads to look, only to see snowflakes splashing on the flat ground, more than 20 dark war horses quickly approaching, the young man on the horse in a green robe and white fur, with a handsome face, rode a horse and rushed forward.
The horse neighed, and the man stood up, his warm breath spraying into the cold air, forming a misty mist. The young man was among the guards, looking at everyone with cold eyes, his voice was calm, and with the wisdom and calmness that did not match his age, he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhuge has not seen you for a long time. ”
The old lady Zhuge was half-open, looking the young man up and down, hehe smiled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, "It turned out to be Yan Xun's son of Yanbei, the night is dark and dewy, the prince is not enjoying in the prince's mansion, what are you doing in the wind and snow?" ”
Yan Xun said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Mr. Lao Zhuge bothered, but Mr. is still so old and strong to enjoy the lights late at night, how can this son sleep with his head covered in the house?" Shangyuan Festival, the whole country celebrates, this son is just out to join in the fun. ”
"Oh?" The old lady Zhuge raised his eyebrows and said, "In this case, Yan Shizi will continue to enjoy the tour, and the old man will not accompany him." With that, he turned to the subordinates and said, "Go home." ”
"Wait!" Yan Xun quickly stepped forward, blocked in front of Old Lady Zhuge and pointed at Chu Qiao with a light smile and said, "It's okay if Mr. wants to leave, but he just wants to leave this child behind." ”
The old man's eyebrows raised slightly, "What does Yan Shizi mean by this?" ”
"This kid has just startled my horse and scared the wind away, and I'm going to take her back and take her back."
The old lady smiled slightly when she heard this, and said, "Since this is the case, the old man will pay the son of the world for a good horse." ”
"My family's horse is a thousand-mile horse that the old prince just hunted back from the Western Desert, can you afford to pay for it?"
"Fengmian, shut up!" Yan Xun frowned slightly, angrily reprimanded the little scholar behind him, and said in a deep voice, "The Zhuge family is the gate lord of the empire, and the head of the Zhuge family is one of the seven elders of the Council of Elders. It's just that the father-son relationship is deep, and the wind is tamed by my father and sent to Zhenhuang all the way, and it is not an ordinary war horse, so things can't be done in such a hurry. I can't find the war horse, this child, I have to take it away. ”
"Yan Shizi ......"
"Mr. Zhuge doesn't need to say much," Yan Xun interrupted the old lady's words, and said with his head held high, "As Mr. Zhuge is, I really can't plead for a slave, I will explain this matter to the fourth young master of the Zhuge family, come here, and take this child away." ”
The entourage of King Yan's Mansion suddenly stepped forward, and a tall man pushed Master Zhuge and his entourage staggered, held Chu Qiao in his arms with one hand, and was about to get on the horse and leave.
Zhu Shun saw that the old lady Zhuge had purple skin, and immediately stepped forward, grabbed Yan Xun's horse reins with a smile, and said with a smile: "Yan Shizi, there is something to say......
There was a whip sound, and then Yan Xun followed up with a kick and kicked Zhu Shun's chin violently, kicking the man's fat body over. Zhu Shun screamed and lay on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, with two yellowed front teeth.
"What is your identity, and you dare to point fingers in front of me, I don't know how thick the sky is!" Yan Xun's eyes were sharp, and he said coldly.
Zhu Shun was shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed in panic. You must know that in Great Xia, the royal family does not need any reason to slaughter a civilian.
Yan Xun raised his horsewhip at Zhu Shun and said coldly: "Today, for the sake of Mr. Zhuge Lao, I will let you go for the time being, if he still has no rules like this in the future, even if the head of the Zhuge family comes in person, I will take your dog's head." ”
After that, he didn't look at the old man Zhuge and shouted to his subordinates behind him: "Go!" ”
A group of people suddenly jumped on their horses and whipped their whips, and after the rolling snow waves splashed, they disappeared at the end of the long street.
The old man Zhuge had a red face, and his left hand was trembling a little with anger. Zhu Shun knelt and climbed forward, grabbed the feet of the old man Zhuge and said, "The old lady extinguishes the fire, and the slave ......."
"Get out!" The old man was furious, kicked Zhu Shun in the chest, and shouted, "Useless waste! Then he got in the car and left.
The heavy snow is still scattering, and the long street is silent, which further sets off the liveliness and prosperity of the main street.
The war horse stopped on the shore of Chishui Lake, and the young man with a serious face turned around with a smile and said with a smile: "Little girl, you owe me a favor again." ”
The child raised his eyes slightly, and although he did not speak, the meaning was obvious: I did not ask you to come.
Yan Xun snorted unconvinced, and said in a low voice: "Will you die if you say a soft word?" ”
Chu Qiao glared at him, turned around and was about to leave.
Yan Xun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stopped in front of her, "What are you going to do?" ”
The child raised his eyebrows, "Of course it's going home." ”
"You want to go back?" The young man frowned and shouted, "That dog slave won't let you go, and that old man of the Zhuge family is famous in Zhenhuang City, do you want to go back and find death?" ”
Chu Qiao pushed him away, "You don't need to care." ”
Yan Xun didn't let go, still holding her, and shouted, "What are you doing here?" It's rare that this son of the world kindly saved you, but you spoke coldly like this. What's so good about Zhuge Yue's yin and yang weird guy, it's worth your desperate effort to go back? ”
Chu Qiao raised her head, desperate to get rid of Zhuge Old Pervert's plan to be destroyed made her a little annoyed, she impatiently shook off Yan Xun's hand, raised her head and said coldly: "Did I cry and beg you to save me?" Put away your compassion, I can't stand it. ”
Yan Xun's eyes were red with anger, looking at Chu Qiao's little figure as he walked farther and farther, he suddenly shouted childishly: "Inexplicable, you deserve to be bullied, I won't be surnamed Yan if I care about you again!" ”
Chu Qiao didn't even look back, and after a while, he disappeared into the surging flow of people. Feng Mian stepped forward cautiously, glanced at his little master carefully, and saw that Shizi's eyes were red, as if he was about to cry angrily.
Feng Mian was slightly stunned, the empire sent the vassal kings to sit on the border of the empire and defend the Zhenhuang imperial capital, but in order to restrict them, the princes of the vassal kings from all over the country were included in the capital as hostages. These children have lived in the center of the power vortex since childhood, precocious, and mature, and have always looked mature. It was the first time Feng Mian had seen his master so angry with a person, just like ...... It's like being an ordinary child.
"Shizi, let's go back to the house too, shall we?"
"Humph!" Yan Xun snorted coldly, with anger in his voice, turned on his horse, and walked towards Yan Proton Mansion with many relatives.
"Fengmian," just after taking two steps, Yan Xun turned back to the little scholar and said, "You go to Zhuge Mansion, just say that my wind has been found, let them not embarrass that little girl." ”
"Huh?" Feng Mian was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened stupidly, and he said, "Shizi, didn't you say that if you help her again, you won't be surnamed Yan?" ”
