Volume 1 The Return of the Old Man The 200th Chapter of the Charm of the Spirit
There was a thick pile of snow on the stove, and the iron pot had already been leaked and buried by the snow, and there was no heat in the room, and the cold was pressing.
The uninjured soldiers worked together to clean out the big kang in the three rooms, went out to collect dry firewood, and burned the kang first before starting to set up a pot for cooking.
Yao Qi was busy bandaging the wounds of his own soldiers, and Qing Qian gave her a hand, because they were all busy and didn't care about bickering, and the atmosphere was still mild.
After Han Changdui finished asking, he walked into the room and saw such a gentle scene.
He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly found that Xie Mengxia sometimes spoke very reliably, just as he said, it is a good thing that his wife and concubine are harmonious, and it is indeed a good thing.
He smiled and walked over quickly: "It's all bandaged?" ”
Yao Qi nodded: "It's an adult, it's all dealt with, the two lightly injured ones are fine, only the seriously injured one is a little tricky, and the humble one has given him a knife wound medicine, and let's see if he can survive tonight." ”
Han Changdui went to see the injuries of his own soldiers again, left medicine, and took good care of them before returning to the room.
Although there are only three dilapidated rooms in the post station, the most spacious main room is naturally reserved for Han Changdu, and the big kang is also hotter than other rooms.
In the remaining two rooms, ten pro-soldiers were crammed into one room, which was obviously too crowded and not so humane, so the body in the other room was moved to the stable, and some of the pro-soldiers lived in it, which was also convenient for guarding the two, so that Yao Qi became the one who had no room to live in.
She stood in the courtyard with her arms crossed, and the snow on the roof tiles was blown down, and it fell to her face, to her collar, and to her skin.
She looked at the room and sighed, the cold wind blew through her heart, and she felt that she was superfluous.
The door of the main room suddenly opened, the dim light leaked out, Han Changwan stood with his hands behind his back, looked at Yao Qi and raised his eyebrows slightly, and said a rare joke: "Are you practicing anti-freezing skills?" ”
Yao Ji was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips and said nothing.
In the middle of the night, the strangers who were in a hurry ate a bowl of such fragrant mutton soup cakes, which dispelled the chill and the lovesickness that was like an arrow.
Han Changdui turned around and entered the room, and suddenly turned around and smiled faintly: "Don't eat, but it's gone." ”
Yao Ji sighed, if he doesn't give him a place to live, he doesn't even give him a stutter, it's just an evil old capital.
She lifted her feet and followed.
The big kang was very hot, and the room was warm.
The three of them each served a bowl of mutton soup cakes and ate them, and Han Changwan Si Wenwen ate a few bites, and said calmly: "The people who followed before and the people who set up an ambush in Hongyagou are all people from the Holy Lord of the Four Holy Sects, and they came for that map. ”
Yao Qi's hand holding the bamboo chopstick stopped slightly, and a pair of apricot eyes blinked: "Who leaked this news?" ”
Han Changdui tilted his head, the steaming heat was on his face, he had been running around for months, he didn't care about tidying up and taking care of himself, a light cyan stubble grew on his chin, and his hair was dry and frizzy, a little less like the jade demeanor of a handsome boy, more like the rough and heroic of a big man.
His eyes narrowed slightly: "Only a few of us know about the map, and the accompanying soldiers don't know, so it is impossible for the news to come out from our side, so only the people around Xie Liangmu will be there." ”
Yao Ji was stunned for a moment: "Xie Liangmo? Who is it? ”
Han Changdui raised his lips inscrutably and chuckled: "You guess." ”
Yao Qi sighed, took a few mouthfuls of soup cakes, and smiled disdainfully: "Isn't it the young master of the Four Holy Sects, who is so mysterious." ”
This one-on-one answer, ambiguous joke, it was very dazzling in Qingqian's eyes, she quickly added a spoonful of hot mutton soup to Han Changdui, and said gently: "Childe, Miss Ah Ji has a daughter's house, it is really inconvenient to live with those rough soldiers, why don't let Miss Ah Ji live here tonight." ”
Han Changwan pursed his lips noncommittally, gently put down the bowl, and said slowly: "Since these people are here for the map, and they have also chosen a place to do it, how can they stop easily." ”
Yao Qi nodded: "There is that map, they don't dare to abuse any fire and water, at most they will be poisoned, how do you plan to deal with it?" ”
Han Changdui raised his eyelids, glanced at Yao Qi, and said with a smile: "I want to arrange a mechanism around the post station, and I want to borrow your shadowless silk, I don't know if Yao agrees to join the army?" ”
Yao Qi understood what Han Changwan meant, she really couldn't refuse this matter, after all, if there were many people who came, and if she didn't set up some organs, she would be the unlucky one at that time.
She pursed her dry lips, and her face was solemn: "Okay, my lord's order is it." ”
Just after the ugly hour, the thick clouds rolled wildly, covering the thin moonlight tightly, and a few light snows fell from the sky, at first only the stars fell, a few gusts of wind blew, and the snow flakes swirled and fell, one by one, like cotton wool, gradually becoming a goose feather snow.
In the quiet of the night, there was a rustling sound, and the vast snow seemed to be washed away by something, and scattered to both sides.
It was pitch black in the post station, there were no lights and no sound, and this hour was the time when people slept most deeply and deeply.
The dilapidated post station does not even have a courtyard gate, and the low courtyard wall is buried in the thick snow, and people with neat legs and feet can easily climb over it without the help of external force.
A few clusters of dark shadows cut through the night, swept away the cold snow, and silently approached the station.
The shadows stopped outside the inn, and two men climbed up the wall and climbed to the top of the station to get an unobstructed view of what was going on inside the inn.
The yard was empty, the snow on the ground had been trampled into messy mud, and on the stove in the corner, there was still a pot of mutton soup at the bottom, frozen and covered with a thin layer of snow.
A dozen horses were tethered to the stables, alert to the slightest movement, and woke up from their slumber, restlessly kicking the horses' hooves with a muffled noise.
But the people in the inn seemed to be asleep, and they did not hear the warning of the horses at all, and did not make any reaction.
The two people on the wall glanced at each other, turned down, ran quickly to the person in charge, and lowered their voices: "Banner master, there is no movement inside, but the spies who came back to report the news said that they did stay at the post station overnight." ”
The leader took off his hood, his eyes were shining, like a vulture, staring at the empty inn, the eagle hooked his nose and inhaled a cold breath, and said hoarsely: "The people here are not good at stubble, tell the boys to be careful, there must be fraud in the post station, I don't care if I die here." ”
The two of them said yes in unison and arranged to go.
Although he said it coldly, and he guessed that Han Changwan would never be restrained, and he would definitely do something in the post station, but he always felt that in a hurry, these people would definitely not be able to do any powerful means, and they would definitely be overwhelmed with the careful deployment on their side.
Before, another flag lord sent waves of people to follow, but all of them were like stones sinking into the sea, there was no return, the flag lord was very dignified in front of the holy lord, and he had never looked at other flag lords in his eyes, but now he returned from this errand, not only was he severely reprimanded and punished by the holy lord, but also became a laughing stock in the sect.
The leader involuntarily clenched his fists, he had to be careful and careful, he couldn't follow in the footsteps of that person, he didn't have such a big face in front of the Holy Lord, if he messed up the errand, it would not be a simple reprimand and punishment, but if this errand was done, from now on, he would be able to walk sideways in the sect and no one would dare to stop him.
He waved his hand to gather around him, and then made several gestures.
The crowd dispersed one after another, some entering through the gate of the courtyard without a door, and some entering through the wall.
Seeing that a large piece of snow on the wall was rubbed off by a few people who were careless and neat, the person who led him helped his forehead, and he felt that his flag owner was deeply insulted by the people under him.
If he were a few years younger, he would never touch the snow off the wall.
He couldn't help but want to shout, isn't it stupid, there is no door at the courtyard gate, why don't you go from the door, you have to go over the wall!! Is it to appear stupid?
A group of people braved the snow and fish, and the narrow-fitting night clothes were very neat through the night, without making a loud sound.
The post station was still quiet, there were no lights and no voices, if it weren't for the words of the previous spies who stopped here, the leader would really think that this post station was empty, and the spies were playing tricks on him.
His expression was cold and serious, and he had already sensed that something was wrong in the station, but now that the arrow was ready to be fired, he would not only become a laughing stock when he withdrew, but he would also die ugly.
His lips pursed tightly, his hand pressed the hilt of his sword, and he stubbornly approached the rooms step by step.
The quiet windows of the black hole are like mouths that can devour everything in the world.
His hand trembled involuntarily, clenched the hilt of the sword, took two breaths tremblingly, brewed his emotions, and was ready to scold "don't move" the moment he kicked the door.
Goose feather-like snow flakes fluttered one after another, and they kept falling here.
The snowflakes were on his hair and sideburns and shoulders, and the cold brushed his eyelashes, and he didn't realize it, he only blinked, held his breath, and took down a few people in the room, and if he didn't succeed, he became a benevolent.
The group lowered their voices and leaned against the window, several people dodged the window and moved to the door to guard, while several people lay on the window.
The leader made a gesture, and the people lying on the window took out a sharpened thumb-thin bamboo tube, stabbed the window paper, and blew into the room.
Streams of pale white mist drifted from the bamboo tube into the room, spreading extremely quickly.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the leader rushed to the door with an arrow, took a few deep breaths, kicked the door open, and his emotions were very sufficient, and he shouted: "Don't move." ”
