Chapter 17: Secret Talks

Tuoba Feng glanced at Qin Zhen and the others who began to concentrate on their work, his eyes stopped on Qin Zhen and Yang Xiaoqi for a while, an inexplicable smile appeared on his face, and he said to himself: "Although I am very tired of Tuoba Ze, a brave and unscrupulous guy, there is one sentence that he is right, these Han people have now become a group of docile sheep, and occasionally there are one or two not very docile ones, and when they are killed, I want to let these Han slaves never dare to betray under my Tuoba Feng." ”

The person who carried the body with Qin Zhen was called Han Wenzhi, the person who pulled him at the moment of Qin Zhen's mental insanity just now, Han Wenzhi was about forty years old, with slightly sunken cheeks and a thin body, and he was the oldest of their gang of Han slaves, because there was almost no communication on the road, so Qin Zhen only knew that his name was Han Wenzhi, and he didn't know anything else.

Qin Zhen cast a grateful look at Han Wenzhi, Han Wenzhi smiled at Qin Zhen, nodded, and lowered his head to carry the corpse intently.

Qin Zhen and Han Wenzhi dug a big pit in the village and buried the corpses.

Standing in front of the grave without a grave, Qin Zhen, Han Wenzhi and the others were silent for a long time, Qin Zhen felt that his heart was empty, and there was an inexplicable emotion affecting him, but he couldn't say how he felt, he only felt depressed and uncomfortable.

"I, Qin Zhen, swear here, if I Qin Zhen can escape this time, I will definitely avenge you in this life; In my lifetime, I will definitely work hard to drive out these foreign clans, protect the Han people here, and let them live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Qin Zhen silently made an oath in his heart, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, after Qin Zhen made an oath, Qin Zhen felt that his depressed feeling dissipated a lot.

When Qin Zhen and the others went back, Chaochuan Wu and their dinner was also ready, stewed a big pot full of chicken, the best thing was of course to let Tuoba Feng enjoy it exclusively, and the rest was divided among the other party sergeants.

Qin Zhen and other Han slaves' food has also been improved, and each person was given a white-flour flatbread, and even in addition to Qin Zhen and Yang Xiaoqi, the remaining seven people each received half a bowl of chicken soup; Maybe Tuoba Feng also knew that it was not convenient to carry this food, so instead of wasting it like this, it was better to be generous and let these Han slaves eat a little more, after all, these Han slaves still have to work for themselves.

Tuoba Feng's meaning was very clear, Qin Zhen and Yang Xiaoqi's movements did not escape his eyes, this time the difference is a slight punishment, if there is a next time, it may not be so simple.

Qin Zhen chewed the white flour flatbread in his mouth, for Qin Zhen, who had basically not eaten white flour for three years, this white-flour flatbread should have been extremely sweet, but when he thought of the bloody corpse of the old man in the village, the flatbread in his mouth tasted the same as chewing wax, and even his stomach gushed with nausea.

Qin Zhen endured the nausea, ate the flatbread with the hot water in the bowl, and took care of the war horses with Chaochuan Wu and others, drank the horses, and fed the grass.

In the middle of the night, in the firewood room where Qin Zhen and other Han Nu were resting, Qin Zhen, Chaochuan Wu, and Yang Xiaoqi gathered together and quietly discussed.

"Xiao Qi and I are a little impulsive during the day today, thanks to you and Han Wenzhi, you and Han Wenzhi stopped Xiao Qi and me in time, otherwise the consequences are really unpredictable, not only will we not survive, but we will also implicate Xue Yuan and them." Qin Zhen said with some fear.

Yang Xiaoqi blamed himself: "It's all because I'm too impulsive, I obviously knew that it would be useless for me to rush forward at that time, not only could I not save my own life, but it would also affect our plan, but when I saw them slaughtering the unarmed people, I really couldn't control it, and I only thought about slashing Tuoba Feng's dog thief with a knife to avenge these villagers who died in vain." ”

Chaochuan Wu persuaded: "You are all people who practice martial arts, and people who practice martial arts are okay without the blood and impulse to draw a sword to help when the road is uneven?" It's just that the environment we are in requires us to try our best to be patient, but fortunately, it has not caused serious consequences, and we still have a chance, but you two will have to be more careful in the future, I think today's incident Tuoba Feng has already paid attention to you. ”

Qin Zhen said with some concern: "It is this matter that I discussed with you, I feel that our plan is going to be implemented in advance, and it can't be delayed, and there will definitely be changes if it is delayed for a long time." ”

Asagawa nodded in agreement.

Yang Xiaoqi said curiously: "Why can't it be delayed, has something happened to our plan?" ”

Seeing Qin Zhen frowning and seeming to be in deep thought, Chaochuan Wu explained to Yang Xiaoqi: "When we made a plan at the racecourse, we missed the ferocity of the party members and our patience, you also saw today's events, you won't say it, Qin Zhen is usually calm enough, right?" I am also impulsive today, looking at the actions of the party members, will there be fewer things like today in future actions? Even if we endure it, what about the others? Others don't say it for the time being, Xue Yuan, Tie Zhu and Luo Sheng definitely don't have Qin Zhen's calmness, as long as we are impulsive once, the party members will either kill us all, or they will be more strictly guarded, and our plan will not be implemented. ”

Yang Xiaoqi scratched his head: "What should I do then?" If we miss this opportunity, we may become slaves of the party for the rest of our lives. ”

Chaochuan Wu didn't answer, but just looked at Qin Zhen, obviously pin his hopes on Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen said helplessly: "I can't think of any good way for the time being, it seems that I can only take one step at a time, fortunately, Xue Yuan and they are about a day's journey away from us, they should not meet the Han people in their march tomorrow, we should be able to go to Weizhou tomorrow, and after arriving in Weizhou, we will be able to adapt according to the local situation." But the general rule is that we must plan ahead, even at greater risk. ”

Yang Xiaoqi worried: "Xue Yuan, they are far away from us, how can we let them know that we plan in advance?" ”

Qin Zhen looked at Chaochuan Wu, and Chaochuan Wu nodded and said, "I'll go." ”

Qin Zhen said: "If you have the opportunity, inform them of what happened here, let them be prepared, and warn them to be patient and not impulsive." ”

"I understand!"

Qin Zhen sighed: "There is a great man who said, 'There is no right to speak without investigation', it is really not wrong at all, it seems that we still have a lot of deficiencies, and we have been working on the plan for a few months in the racecourse, because we do not understand the cruelty of the war and the ferocity of the enemy, but in the end it is difficult to implement one thing, it seems that we must be more cautious and brainstorm more in the future." ”

Just as Qin Zhen and Chao Chuanwu and Yang Xiaoqi were quietly discussing, Han Wenzhi walked over slowly, and when Han Wenzhi was about to approach Qin Zhen, he deliberately made a little noise, so that Qin Zhen and the others knew his kindness.

Seeing Han Wenzhi approaching, Qin Zhen and the three of them tacitly stopped talking and looked at Han Wenzhi who walked beside them.

"What are you talking about, can I talk to you too?" Han Wenzhi smiled and looked very sincere.

Because of the day's events, Qin Zhen still had a good impression of Han Wenzhi, so he nodded.

Chaochuan Wu suddenly got up and said, "You talk, I'll go and see the war horses and add some forage to them." ”

Han Wenzhi smiled and nodded, and sat down in the original position of Chaochuan Wu: "I just saw the three of you chatting together for a long time, Han felt a little lonely, and he couldn't find anyone to talk to if he was bored, so he came over to join in the fun, I hope you two don't mind." ”

Qin Zhen smiled: "Of course I won't mind, anyway, everyone can't sleep, so you might as well sit together and talk." ”

Han Wenzhi looked a little pleased: "Very good, very good, don't blame Han for being abrupt, I don't know what the three brothers were talking about just now?" ”

Qin Zhen smiled dryly: "I didn't say anything, I was frightened when there was blood all over the ground during the day today, and my two friends comforted me together." ”

Although Qin Zhen had a good impression of Han Wenzhi, they couldn't reveal anything about what they discussed, it was a major matter related to their life and death, and if it was leaked slightly, it would be possible to live and die.

Han Wenzhi looked at Qin Zhen with interest: "Oh, but according to Han, Brother Qin, your behavior during the day doesn't look like you're frightened at all." And this Brother Yang beside you, his courage is commendable, even Lord Tuoba Feng noticed your courage, and said that when he was frightened, he looked down on Han's eyes. ”

Qin Zhen was told a lie by Han Wenzhi, but he didn't look embarrassed at all, just looked at Han Wenzhi with a smile and stopped talking.

Yang Xiaoqi's eyes kept sliding back and forth on Qin Zhen and Han Wenzhi's faces, Qin Zhen didn't speak, and he was happy to remain silent.

Han Wenzhi was a little apologetic: "Shallow and taboo words, Han also understands this truth, you and I are not related to each other, and we don't know each other very well, it is indeed Han who is abrupt." During the day, I watched what Brother Qin did, and I didn't lose blood but my mind was abnormal, and at night I saw you discussing here, and I wasn't afraid to tell the two of you that Han had no other skills, but this pair of ears was sensitive and abnormal since childhood, and he could hear things that ordinary people couldn't hear. ”

Hearing Han Wenzhi's words, Yang Xiaoqi's whole body tensed in an instant, staring at Han Wenzhi tightly, with murderous aura in his eyes, as long as Qin Zhen gave an order, Han Wenzhi would definitely die on the spot.

Qin Zhen's eyes also became cold: "You mean, you heard the conversation we just had?" ”

Being stared at like this by Qin Zhen and Yang Xiaoqi, Han Wenzhi swayed slightly unnaturally, but the smile on his face did not change at all: "Although I didn't hear all of them clearly, I also heard them." ”

Qin Zhen continued to ask: "Why did you tell us this, you should know very well, as long as you don't say it, we won't know." ”

Han Wenzhi smiled bitterly: "Do you think I am willing, we are not familiar with each other, Han should not confess to you at this time, but Han has been in prison for many years, and he has long been fed up with the life of being a slave under the party, and I overheard your conversation tonight, and I feel that this matter is also an opportunity for me, so I really want to talk to you together." ”

Then, Han Wenzhi said meaningfully: "I, like you, am also a Han person, don't worry, even if I die, I will not betray you." The compatriots with me have died one by one, and if I go back this time, it will not take me a year to go back, and I will definitely be tortured to death, so as long as there is a glimmer of hope to escape, I will not hesitate to take the greatest risk. ”
