Chapter 18: Han Wenzhi's Assistance

Qin Zhen stared at Han Wenzhi, and Han Wenzhi also stared at Qin Zhen, without the slightest evasion, with calmness in his eyes.

After a stalemate like this for a while, Qin Zhen's eyes were no longer cold, and gradually became peaceful and profound, retracting his gaze that was staring at Han Wenzhi, and nodded at Yang Xiaoqi.

Yang Xiaoqi's tense body also slowly relaxed, the murderous aura in his eyes also dissipated, and the tense atmosphere just now slowly eased.

Qin Zhen clenched his fists and gave Han Wenzhi a bow: "Mr. Han is right, we are both Han Chinese, especially in this situation, we should be in the same boat, but this matter is important, and it is not just my Qin Zhen's life that is involved, I have to be cautious, if there is any offense, please forgive Mr. Han." ”

Han Wenzhi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Qin's words are serious, when it comes to this matter, after all, I am abrupt first, if I change places, I think my reaction may be more radical than you, Brother Qin." ”

Qin Zhen asked, "I don't know who Mr. Han is, and how did he become a slave in the party army?" ”

Han Wenzhi said: "It's a shame to say, Han was originally the master of Didao County, Linzhou, although he was meager, but he could barely support his family, and it was not bad in this troubled world, but two years ago, the party soldiers came to Didao County, and the lieutenant of Didao Zhichong Mansion and the county commander and the county Cheng all fled, and I also took off my official uniform, disguised as a common person and fled with my family, who knows that I still did not escape from the clutches of the party and was arrested outside the city. ”

Speaking of this, Han Wenzhi's face was painful, although he tried his best to suppress his feelings, his eyes were still red, and his voice was obviously choked: "I watched my wife and concubine being humiliated to death by those beasts, and the child died tragically under the knife of those beasts, he was just three years old, my father couldn't bear to die on the boulder, I really wanted to die headlong, a hundred deaths, to avoid the pain of this heart-eating, but I can't die, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I have to live, only by living, can I have a chance to take revenge, My only wish in my life is to be able to slash these beasts, but I pity my old father, wife and children, who were exposed to the wilderness after death, and no one collected their bodies into the coffin, and finally ended up as a lonely ghost. ”

Han Wenzhi couldn't completely suppress his feelings after all, his eyes were full of tears, and his shoulders twitched.

The listener was sad, the listener cried, Qin Zhen was full of sympathy for Han Wenzhi's experience, looking at Han Wenzhi who was still trying his best to suppress his feelings, Qin Zhen could understand the pain that he wanted to cry out loud, but had to suppress it with all his might, because after Qin Huaizhong committed suicide by jumping into the river, Qin Zhen also experienced this kind of pain.

Yang Xiaoqi's eyes were also red, and he had been silent, as a slave of the party members, almost everyone had experienced life and death.

Qin Zhen apologized: "I'm sorry for arousing your sadness." ”

Han Wenzhi wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve and shook his head: "It doesn't matter if I am aroused, in the past two years, I have been thinking about the tragic situation of that day all the time, and I can say it in front of the two of you today, I feel a lot more relaxed." Besides, what about my family who died outside the city of Didao that day, exposing the corpses in the wilderness, at least I am still alive, and I can tell you those tragic things here, but there are many people, the whole family died tragically, and there is not even a person who burns paper to commemorate it. In troubled times, people are really not as good as pigs and dogs! ”

Qin Zhen asked, "Does Mr. Han have no other family members?" ”

Han Wenzhi sighed softly: "Alas, there is still a little girl in the family, who was separated from us in the chaos that day, another reason why I haven't died so far is that I have the hope of just in case, if the little girl is lucky enough not to die, I must find her." ”

Qin Zhen comforted: "Mr. Han relax, your daughter will definitely be auspicious and escape." ”

Han Wenzhi said: "To borrow your auspicious words, speaking of which, the little girl is not much older than you." ”

Qin Zhen said faintly: "On weekdays, the government has all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people have worked hard for a year, and the harvest has filled those landlords and bureaucrats, but when the people are killed, the government is not saved, and even takes the lead in escaping, leaving those people to become lambs to be slaughtered. ”

Han Wenzhi's old face turned red, and he said a little sneeringly: "I also want to resist the invasion of foreign tribes, and I also want to protect the people, but even the governor of Zhichong Prefecture and the county order have fled, and I can't do anything as a scholar, I can only flee with them, I just hope to be able to protect my family, but in the end, I can't even protect my own family." ”

Qin Zhen hurriedly said: "Mr. Han, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean you, I just remembered the scene when my grandfather and I were captured, speaking of which, who of us who can save our families as slaves under the party members." ”

Han Wenzhi smiled bitterly: "No matter how splendid you are in your chest and mountains and rivers in your heart, in this troubled world, you can't resist the sword after all, and there is a cloud in the poem of Tang Dynasty Yang Jiong, 'Rather be a centurion, better than a scholar.'" Sometimes, I really wish I was a soldier with a sword, and I could fight to the death with the party members, and it would be considered heroic, better than living like this now. ”

Qin Zhen said with a firm face: "There will be a chance, there will definitely be a chance." ”

This conversation gave Qin Zhen a certain understanding of Han Wenzhi, knowing that Han Wenzhi would not betray himself, although he did not fully trust, he also let down his guard at the beginning; For Han Wenzhi, intersecting with Qin Zhen is equivalent to having one more ally, and his hope of survival is a little greater, which can be described as a great joy.

The next day, at the end of Yin, Qin Zhen and the others had already gotten up to prepare breakfast in the army, and Chaochuan Wu reported to Tuoba Liang that several war horses had mild pharyngitis, and Tuoba Liang hurriedly reported Tuoba Feng.

Tuoba Feng was very angry, so Tuoba Liang brought all the Han slaves over and knelt down in front of him: "Let you take care of the war horses, now a few war horses have contracted pharyngitis, what is going on?" Is it because you don't take good care of it? If there is any damage to the horses, I will let you all fall to the ground. ”

Chaochuan Wu knelt down and leaned over, trembling and said: "Lord Huiyu, it's not that we don't take good care of it, but we have been on the road for days recently, and some of the war horses with poor physique or older ones are a little tired, so there are some slight pharyngitis, I have prepared herbs, as long as I eat it with grass, this disease will be eliminated immediately." ”

Tuoba Feng looked at Tuoba Liang, Tuoba Liang bowed and said: "Lord Qiyu, the symptoms of war horse pharyngitis are indeed reported to me by this kid, the symptoms of pharyngitis are extremely weak, and it does not affect today's march, in the past three years, this kid has cured a lot of war horses in the horse farm, and there should be no problem in terms of his medical skills." ”

Tuoba Feng nodded: "Lord Ben has clear rewards and punishments, and if you are loyal, Lord Ben will promote you as the head of the Han slaves and assist Tuoba Liang in managing these Han slaves." ”

Chaochuan Wu looked very excited: "Lord Xie is promoted, Chaochuan Wu must be full of liver and brain, serve the party and the adult, and never give up." ”

Listening to Chaochuan Wu's sycophants, the other Han slaves all showed disdain, and just knelt on the ground with their heads down, and Tuoba Feng and those party sergeants couldn't see it.

But their expressions made Han Wenzhi, who was also kneeling on the ground, see clearly, looking at Qin Zhen and Yang Xiaoqi's calm expressions, Han Wenzhi fell into deep thought.

Suddenly thinking of the conversation between Qin Zhen, Chaochuan Wu, and Yang Xiaoqi last night, Han Wenzhi was blessed to his heart, leaned over and said: "Lord Qiqi, the villain thinks that since we have found pharyngitis in the war horse here, then the war horse in the Zhongjun Lord may also have pharyngitis, Chaochuan Wu, as a veterinarian, should rush over to investigate, so that Lord Qi will also know the painstaking efforts of the adult." ”

Tuoba Feng thought about it and nodded: "Well, it makes sense!" What is your name? ”

"Back to the adult, the villain's name is Han Wenzhi."

"Han Wenzhi, it's good that you can think of this, it coincides with Lord Ben's thoughts, it can be seen that your loyalty, Lord Ben promoted you to be the deputy head of the Han Nu, and after Chaochuan Wu rushed to the Chinese army, you assisted Tuoba Liang to manage these Han Nu."

Han Wenzhi was even more excited than Chaochuan Wu, kowtowed and shouted: "Lord Xie is promoted, Han Wenzhi must be full of liver and brain, serve the party and the adult, and never give up." ”

Listening to Han Wenzhi's copied Chaochuan Wu's sycophants, the Han Nu who despised Chaochuan Wu just now despised Han Wenzhi even more, and Qin Zhen, Chaochuan Wu, and Yang Xiaoqi looked strange.

"This old guy was able to guess his purpose and steal his lines silently!" Qin Zhen secretly praised Han Wenzhi's wisdom in his heart.

This sentence was indeed much better spoken by Han Wenzhi than by Qin Zhen, Tuoba Feng was very clear about the relationship between Qin Zhen and Chaochuan Wu in the racecourse, if Qin Zhen said it, Tuoba Feng might be suspicious. But when Han Wenzhi said it, Tuoba Feng would only think that the two of them were competing in front of him, which was what he wanted to see.

When Tuoba Feng heard Han Wenzhi's sycophants, he was very useful, and laughed: "Okay! Very good! Although you are Han slaves, as long as you are obedient, forget your Han identity, and be loyal to my party, this Lord will definitely be rewarded! ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Tuoba Feng instructed: "The others retreat, Chaochuan Wu, you will follow the next messenger to the army of Lord Qi to check the situation of the war horse, you must ensure the health of the war horse, if it is done well, I will be rewarded." ”

Suddenly, Tuoba Feng's face changed, and he said murderously: "Don't think about running, under the swords and arrows of my party soldiers, you can't escape." ”

Chaochuan Wu hurriedly leaned over again, and said in a trembling voice: "Under the authority of the party Xiang Tianwei, the villain does not dare to have the idea of escaping. ”

Tuoba Feng* nodded in satisfaction.

Qin Zhen and the others got out of Tuoba Feng's temporary barracks and continued to prepare breakfast, Qin Zhen secretly gave Han Wenzhi a thumbs up, Han Wenzhi nodded at him, and began to concentrate on preparing breakfast, and the two had no communication.

The tacit cooperation with Han Wenzhi this time made Qin Zhen feel comfortable, and after breakfast in the army, Chaochuan Wu followed the messenger back and went to Tuoba Jue's Chinese army.

And Tuoba Feng led the team south, the goal, Weizhou!
