Chapter 40 Adventure
Qiao Xiaojing knocked out the people who delivered the food, laid them flat on the earthen kang in the cell, and came to the courtyard with Ah Zi.
"Boss," Ah Zi was a little nervous, she said timidly, "Let's just swagger around on other people's territory, isn't it?!"
"Don't be nervous," Qiao Xiaojing comforted, "It's like nothing happened, calm down, as long as we can meet their so-called director, I think we'll be fine." ”
"What if ......" Ah Zi paused when she saw someone coming over, and after the person walked by, she whispered again, "If the director knew that the person who knocked him unconscious, wouldn't he be angry, would he still let us go......?"
"Shut up!" Qiao Xiaojing glared at Ah Zi and whispered, "Tell you, no matter what happens, you have to leave here today no matter what, remember, this must not be changed." ”
"Hmm. Ah Zi knew that she couldn't change Qiao Xiaojing's decision, so she had to nod and agree.
"Believe me," Qiao Xiaojing said, "The people here are not bad people, they won't do anything to us, as long as we can meet their director, as long as we are honest, I don't think our situation will be too bad, don't worry!"
Someone walked past them again, Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi didn't dare to make a sound, they just pretended to be calm and walked forward.
"Stop!" When Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi walked from the backyard to the front yard, they just turned the corner, and they were about to come to the room they were escorted to after they were arrested, that is, the room where the second brother was in the mouth of the escort, but they were suddenly stopped by drinking.
Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi stopped and looked at the place where the sound came from, only to see a person walking from a distance of about twenty meters from them, because the sunlight was too dazzling, they couldn't look normally, so they couldn't see the person's appearance clearly for a while.
"Are you talking to the two of us?" Qiao Xiaojing pretended to be calm and asked the visitor.
"Of course. The man said, "You two don't stay in the cell, how can you ......?" At this point, the man seemed to think of something, paused, and then changed his words, and rebuked sharply: "Bold fanatics, who don't know the height of the sky, dare to spread wild here." Say, how did you two escape, and what do you want to do here?"
"It turned out to be you, Xinghui, Xinghui!" The man walked over and stood in front of Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi, and they instantly recognized this person, this person was the guy who carried the food box last night, it is really a narrow road!
"Answer my question. "This person didn't have any of the hippie smile he had last night, and his face was full of seriousness.
"Hmph," Ah Zi was angry when she saw this person, and she said coldly, "Tell you, you are not qualified to ask us questions, and we don't need to answer your questions." If we have to answer, we can give us a reason. ”
"It's just a prisoner, what's there to be rampant?" This person was choked by Ah Zi's eyes wide, and his eyes were full of murderous aura.
"Prisoner?" Ah Zi said, "We have been wronged by you inexplicable people, and we are only temporarily imprisoned. However, no matter where we are, we will not be as mean as some people. ”
"You call me mean, you'd better make it clear to me, or I'm not done with you. ”
"Do you still need to pick and choose?" Ah Zi was not convinced at all, and said confidently, "Who had bad intentions last night, and when he didn't take advantage of it, he actually made a mistake and made another mistake, threatening to say that there are wolves here?"
"You ---" The man was dumbfounded, pointing at Ah Zi, unable to speak for a long time.
"Okay, let's not say a word!" Qiao Xiaojing didn't want things to be too stiff, so she stopped them in time, and explained to the man, "She has such a temper and a straightforward temperament, I hope you don't have the same knowledge as her." We didn't escape, there are so many walls here, and we can't escape if we want to. It was your director who let us go, and he wanted to see the two of us, so ......"
While speaking, two teams of people suddenly ran out from the left and right sides, they were holding spears, sandwiching Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi in the middle, and the muzzles of the guns were aimed at Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi, one of them asked: "These two were originally locked up in the backyard, why are they here, what happened?"
Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi were very surprised, they didn't expect so many people to come suddenly, and they were all loaded with guns, and they didn't know how to get back to the question raised by the person, at this moment, the guy who quarreled with Ah Zi when he met spoke, and he said calmly: "These two people were released with the consent of the director, and now I want to see the director." ”
"Is that so?" said the man, who was skeptical, and didn't seem to believe the fellow.
"Is this still fake?" said the fellow, "isn't the director in the front room, if you don't believe it, you can go over and ask." ”
Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi's hearts suddenly rose to their throats, they knew what was going on, if that guy didn't believe this person's words and really went to the director to implement it, then their plan would be immediately exposed, not to mention that their wishful thinking would fail, and it was likely that they would really be locked up here for a long time--- then, the task of the team would most likely be stranded because of this......
In order to avoid the pursuit of devils and traitors, the big man of the squad squatted on the branch outside the city for nearly an hour, and the sky was getting brighter, and then he came down from the tree and sat down with his back against the tree, and after a while, there was a snoring sound.
When he awoke again, it was already dawn, and everything was bright as far as the eye could see, and he rubbed his eyes and stood up, yawned, stretched, and walked out into the woods.
"When the shooting was fired," the big man heard a conversation near the side of the road, so he hid behind a big tree, and peeked his head out to look at the front left and right front, and through the branches, he saw seven or eight men in military uniforms standing not far away, and one of them was a middle-aged man standing in the middle of them, pointing into the woods and saying, "You are standing here, right?"
"No, advisor," said one of the soldiers beside him, "we were all standing on the road below when the shot was fired, and none of us, including Taijun, stepped into the woods. It was too dark to judge the situation in the woods. ”
It turned out to be traitors! These dogs with broken backbones are really loyal to their masters! I hate that I don't have a weapon in my hand, and a dagger is fine, lure these beasts into the forest, let them have no return--- see how they still act in front of the common people, and wagging their tails in front of the devils to beg for favor...... The big man hiding behind the tree cursed the beasts in his heart.
"What about after the straf?" the middle-aged man asked again.
"Shoot," said the little soldier earnestly, "and when the prince saw that there was no movement, he ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the city, and the imperial army was much more active than us, and when he heard the order, he turned his head and left, and he did not bring his head back, so we followed the imperial army back to the city." ”
"Why don't you send a few people into the forest to investigate? In case that Tu Balu is injured, then he can be caught red-handed, once that guy is caught, pry his mouth open, hehe, think about it, how many things can be saved!" The middle-aged man seemed to be asking the little soldier next to him, and he seemed to be talking to himself.
"Then let's check it out now and see if there are any clues left, maybe it can leave me some valuable clues. The little soldier stared at the middle-aged man, waiting for his instructions.
"Forget it. The middle-aged man looked confused, shook his head and said, "If there are any clues left until now, waiting for you to go to the vine to touch the melon, then he is not the eighth road, and he doesn't know how many times he has died." ”
"Then let's ...... now" The little soldier nodded, feeling that what the middle-aged man said was true.
"Let's go back. The middle-aged man said, "Guard the city gate, and strictly check the men who enter the county seat, but if there are some suspicious people, they will be arrested, and it is better to catch three thousand by mistake than to let one go, and I don't believe that the eight roads will enter the city again." Since the eight roads come and go in the city, there is naturally something to do, and last night he happened to run into the imperial army and fled from the county in a hurry, and the things he wanted to handle were definitely not done, so he would take risks. ”
"What do you mean......" the little soldier probed, "that dirt road will still appear, and will you find a way into the city?"
"Wouldn't it be?" the middle-aged man seemed a little annoyed.
"Yes, of course, if you say so, you can't be wrong. The little soldier nodded and replied.
The scheming fellow was so insidious that he struck the buckle on the city gate, and it seemed that it would not be so easy to enter the city again. But it doesn't matter, anyway, I don't know what to do now, it's better to wait for Qiao Xiaojing and Ah Zi here, maybe they might really enter the city from here! The big man leaned against the big tree, silently pondering......
Qiao Xiaojing saw the people on the left and right leaving, and now only she and Ah Zi were left, and of course the man who helped them out, although they both hated this guy last night, but now their anger has disappeared a lot.
"Thank you for speaking for us. Qiao Xiaojing bowed slightly to him to show her gratitude.
"You're welcome," said the man, "since the director agrees to let you out, and he wants to meet you, it means that there is nothing wrong with you, and I just push the boat down the river and be a favor." ”
"Now it seems," said Zi, "that you are not as annoying as you appear, and even somewhat likable." However, this does not mean that you can be arrogant and unreasonable in front of us--- I am a person who loves and hates clearly, and never hides his emotions, there is one thing to say, there is two to say, many people are not willing to listen to me, I think you may not like to listen to me--- but I still want to take this opportunity to say, thank you for being fair at a critical time. ”
The man smiled, shook his head, and turned to leave.
"Let's go," Qiao Xiaojing glanced at Ah Zi and said lightly, "Go see their director......"
The backyard of Sai Xi Shi Tofu Workshop is free of disputes and suspicions, and it looks extraordinarily calm.
"Your words," Qiao Shuangxi nodded and stood up, glanced at the brothers who came out of Qiaojia Village with a punch, and finally fell on Cuiyu, he said, "I seem to understand, if you want to do something, you must hug it tightly and gather all your forces together in a common direction, otherwise, no matter how many people there are, it will be just a plate of scattered sand." ”
Including Cuiyu and Dazhi, everyone at the scene stood up and nodded to Qiao Shuangxi.
"Then you say," Qiao Shuangxi said to Ah Zi, "what should we do now?"
"Wait!" Jade said succinctly.
"Wait?" everyone at the scene felt that they had misheard.
"Yes, wait!" Jade repeated, still resolute.
