20 CHAPTER XX

Hu people come to the south, the lives are devastated, the outside of the city has long been a wasteland, originally adjacent to the official road of the Shili Pavilion is a good place for merchants to rest, but now it is completely surrounded by overgrown weeds, has become a nest of wild foxes and birds, all uninhabited.

"You're here?" After a light cough, a man's voice rang out.

Wei Jue and I looked and saw a man with long body and big eyes coming out of the grass next to the Shili Pavilion, although all the clothes were dressed as Han Chinese, but the face shape of the knife and axe was as tough as an axe and the thick stubble, and it could be seen at a glance that he was a Hu man.

"In Xia Shile, I have been waiting for the name of Uncle Wei for a long time!" The man, perhaps seeing our wary look, immediately came up with his fists clenched.

"Shile?" I whispered the name, which sounded strange, but I couldn't remember who it was.

Wei Jue asked, "Tell me, where is Wei Qi's people?" ”

Shi Le was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed loudly: "Wei Jue really deserves his reputation, since you are so refreshing, then I will say it bluntly, I invite you here today, it is definitely not to deliberately entertain Brother Wei, but to really want to rescue your brother Wei Qi!" ”

"Where are the others?" Wei Jue asked again.

Seeing his serious expression, Shi Le also suppressed his smile, took a step closer and said: "Wei Qi is in the hands of Liu Cong, he would rather die than serve my lord, you also understand people, since you can't be used by me, it's better to kill him as soon as possible than to make him an enemy!" ”

"Listen to what you mean, can you disobey that Liu Cong and release Brother Wei Qi privately?" I looked him up and down, and the seemingly upright Shiler might not be as simple as I thought.

Shi Le was stunned for a moment by my question, touched his nose and smiled: "Does the girl think I will have no conditions?" ”

"Conditions? You asked us to come just to negotiate terms with us? But we don't know whether Brother Wei Qi is dead or alive, just based on your words, you want to negotiate terms with us, you Hu people are self-righteous, and you think so beautifully! I said angrily.

"Dance!"

Wei Jue grabbed me, protected me behind him, and looked at the Hu man: "What conditions?" Don't play tricks! ”

At this time, Shi Le looked at me with a burning eye, as if he had just discovered my existence, and said slowly: "The girl is so beautiful, but her temperament is similar to that of our Hu girl, she is indeed a wonderful person!" "He said he wanted to get close to me.

Wei Jue warily stretched out his arm to stop him in place: "Don't wear down my patience anymore!" ”

Shi Le's face turned red, and he took a few steps back: "My lord has mercy on talent, and I don't want to bear the notoriety of killing talents, but I am really thirsty for talent, as long as you can persuade your brother to submit, I can naturally save his life!" ”

"That's your condition?" Wei Jue chuckled lightly and said to him: "Since my brother is unwilling, I have no way to change his mind!" ”

"You don't want to save him?" Shi Le didn't care: "Brother Wei, can you think clearly? ”

Wei Jue glanced at me, then looked directly at Shi Le, and said meaningfully: "In the face of national hatred and family hatred, Wei Qi would rather die than serve Hu, if I promise you, even if I persuade him, the result will be the same!" ”

"Hahaha, I expected this to happen, I really don't want Wei Qi to die! I think when I was caught by you Han people and sold to Shandong as a slave, it was he who saved my life, otherwise I would have died of illness in Shandong, where did I get today's scenery? Shi Le said, his voice getting deeper and deeper: "I have suffered humiliation but also have clear grievances, today I swear here, if you Wei Jue do something for me, I will let Wei Qi go back to Hedong, even if he is killed by Liu Cong, there will be no regrets!" ”

"What do you want me to do?" Wei Jue was still calm, obviously he would not let go of any opportunity to save his eldest brother.

Shi Le took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Don't hide it from Brother Wei, our army has been going south for a long time, but it has been blocked by the mountain Jian stationed in Xiangyang, and it has not been able to achieve greater results, but it is coveted by other tribes behind it. ”

"That's also something you don't have the ability to do!" When I saw him suddenly mention my father's name, I felt uneasy, and I couldn't help but interrupt him.

Shi Le glanced at me and continued to say to Wei Jue: "What my lord means is that if Brother Wei can get rid of Shanjian for us, no matter whether we can capture Xiangyang or not, at least our army will not be pursued and killed by the Jin army when it retreats to Saibei. As long as the news of Shan Jian's death is announced, Wei Qi will definitely return to Hedong unscathed, and my lord will also give a big gift, of course, we will definitely keep this matter a secret, and no one else will know about it......"

"Shut up!" His words finally angered me, and he actually said in front of me that he was going to kill my father, and I had reached out to draw the sword from Wei Jue's waist, ready to send him to death while he was unprepared.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

At this moment, a series of explosions exploded, and several heads suddenly poked out of the grass, all covered with black face towels, and raised their hands to throw several black balls beside us. The black balls exploded, sending up clouds of dense earthy yellow smoke that emitted a strange fragrance.

"Not good, there is an ambush!" Shi Le shouted, shocked: "These are not my people, the fog is poisonous, this is the Hu people's thyme, if you inhale it, your limbs will be weak and you will be unconscious!" ”

"Dance, don't inhale, try to hold your breath!"

Wei Jue quickly covered my mouth and nose, pulled me and hurriedly flew back, but more than a dozen people in black also appeared behind us, and they also raised their hands to throw out a series of black balls, and we were instantly surrounded by the diffuse yellow mist, and we couldn't escape at all.

Shi Le pulled out the long knife on his back with a "bang" and rushed towards the black-clothed people, and before he had taken ten steps, he suddenly fell to his knees, and the knife fell far away. This thyme is really domineering, and such a strong man can't stop it.

Wei Jue and I naturally didn't dare to breathe, but the medicine seemed to be pervasive, and soon I felt dizzy, and gradually I couldn't support it.

"Hahaha, what are you talking about the first fierce general of Zhao Kingdom, but that's it!" The black-clothed men tied up Shi Le, and then slowly walked towards me and Wei Jue: "Arrest these two together, Lord Yuwen has returned to Yecheng, let's not delay any longer, the wildfire will start soon, and we will all die if it is bad or good!" ”

"Lord Yuwen?" I read it softly, and as soon as I finished speaking, I felt something hit me the back of my neck.

"Dance!" Wei Jue's anxious and nervous voice sounded in my ears, but I didn't have time to respond to him, and then passed out.

……

I don't know how long it took for me to finally wake up again.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a wooden cage, I wasn't sure how long I had been unconscious, and I didn't have any strength at all. Fortunately, the clothes on my body were still intact, and my heart was a little more settled, but when I found out that Wei Jue was not by my side, my heart sank again.

I looked up and saw that I was deep in the wilderness, surrounded by several bonfires that were burning vigorously, countless Hu men and women singing and dancing around the bonfire, and roasting cattle and sheep on the blazing bonfire.

"Wei Jue, where are you?" My eyes searched, but there was still no trace of Wei Jue.

Why are you keeping me here? I slowly crawled to the edge of the cage and tried to look at the brightest part of the campfire.

"Murong Han!" Just when I retracted my gaze in despair, I suddenly found a pair of familiar eyes, was he? I should have thought of it, Lord Yuwen? It turned out that they didn't want to let Wei Jue and me go.

I stared at Murong Han fiercely, and his gaze seemed to have stayed on me for a long time, and immediately met me again the moment I looked at him.

"Hey, the beauty is awake!"

When I was distraught, a muffled voice sounded behind me, and a strong smell of alcohol came straight at me, and then a stumbling figure came in front of me.

I withdrew my gaze from looking at Murong Han and cast it on the strong Hu man in front of me, only to see that he was holding a large jar of spirits in his hand, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed my neck and laughed unscrupulously.

"Tonight you belong to me, I have defeated all the warriors, you are my woman!" As the man spoke, a big hand clenched my neck, and I couldn't get rid of it at all, so I could only open my mouth slightly to breathe, but I didn't expect him to take advantage of the situation and dump the jar of wine, and pour all the liquor into my mouth.

I was choked so badly that he laughed even harder, and kept pouring wine, laughing wildly: "Drink, drink, my little beauty, I want you to finish it!" ”

"Poof!"

As a muffled sound came into my ears, the wild laughter stopped abruptly, I finally broke free, and unconsciously retreated in fright, only to find that a sharp sword had penetrated his chest, the wine jar fell to the ground, he slowly fell, I raised my eyes, and it was Murong Han who was standing behind him.
