046 Promises
With all the information in his mind, Xu Da replied "resignedly":
"The small family surnamed Xu, fled from Yanzhou, my father was a soldier when he was young, and he was disabled for this, and his father told the little one when he was alive to thank those who were soldiers, if there was no them, there would be no peaceful ......life for our little people."
Xu Dazai carefully told the general about the glorious deeds of his old father, and when he talked about emotion, there were tears in his eyes, and he looked like a filial child who remembered his father's teachings.
The general's brows furrowed, and after listening for a long time, his eyes showed a little confusion, and it took a while to react, and the kid didn't answer the answer he wanted for a long time.
He immediately drank Xu Da, who had already talked about his old father's heroic deeds of fighting against the Xiongnu for the country, and shouted:
"What does Lord Ben ask you and what do you answer, it's long-winded, are you buried these people?!"
There was impatience in his words, but he didn't see much ruthlessness in his eyes, Xu Da's eyes rolled, and he suddenly understood that he had just blown the effect of nonsense.
As he had suspected, the gang had come to collect the bodies of their companions.
And looking at the outfit, it seems to be a regular army, unlike those miscellaneous outcasts.
And there is only one regular army in Jizhou, which is the Changsheng army under the Yuan family.
This information quickly swiped through Xu's mind, and in the eyes of the general, this person was stunned by his own drinking.
Xu Da paused, and then nodded scoldly, "Yes." ”
The general's eyes widened, "Why do you bury the corpse?" But there is a plan! ”
If you don't want to do anything, who bothered to bury the corpse? Xu Da replied in his heart.
However, there was a look of compassion on his face and he replied: "The little one fled with his family, but he didn't expect to see such a tragic scene, and he thought that his father had also had a companion who died on the battlefield and no one collected the corpse, so he thought of doing his part to bury these soldiers and put them into the ground for ......peace."
Speaking of the back, the voice gradually became quieter, and he looked at them nervously with his wife and children in his arms.
After hearing his words, the general's eyes were dark, and he looked at this family fixedly, and his eyes slowly fell on the wooden box on Xu Da's back.
With a sudden wave of his hand, he called two small soldiers and ordered, "Check! ”
Examine?
What to look for?
Wang Dayou chuckled in his heart, he felt bad, he saw Xu Da's family searching for the corpse with his own eyes last night, and got a lot of valuable items, which should be put in the wooden box on Xu Da's body.
If this is found out, what will happen to it?
Wang Dayou was busy going to see Xu Da, and when he saw that Xu Da was also flustered, he was so shocked that cold sweat broke out.
His panicked look made the general see clearly, and his face sank a little lightly. The tiger stared, and the sense of oppression suddenly rose, only to see Wang Dayou lower his head and close his eyes in despair.
However, the wooden box shook out, but there was only a silk horse, a money bag, and some scattered scissors, needles and threads and other small objects.
Wang Dayou's eyes widened secretly, what about those objects? Where did it go?
He couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and suddenly felt that he knew too much, and his heart was even more uneasy.
No suspicious items were found, the general looked at him coldly, Xu Da stretched out his arms to protect the "weak" wives and children and stepped back, and stammered:
"The small, the little belongings are here, the general wants, if he can look at it, he will take it to the soldiers to have a small drink, and the right to be a little one has a wish for his father......"
As he spoke, he took the initiative to pull Xu Dalang and asked him to throw out the luggage on his body and wait honestly to be searched.
This honest and pitiful look seemed to regard them for robbers, and the general was very irritated to see them.
The two soldiers picked up their duffel bags and searched for them, and poured out a few tattered linen clothes, an old bedding, a pot and a few bowls, and a small bag of rice.
It's just so tattered, not to mention the general, even the two small soldiers who looted can't look at it.
I was a little interested in that silk silk, but the general didn't give the order, and they didn't dare to make any moves.
The wind carried a strong smell of rust over it, and the already solemn atmosphere added a bit of weirdness.
You look at me and I look at you for half a minute, and then I hear the general say:
"This place intersects with the territory of the Southern Xiongnu Heiyan Army, and the Xiongnu often turn into bandits to harass them, just because you want to go to Hejian County, it's ridiculous!"
What do you mean by that?
Xu Da raised his head, and saw that the general waved his hand and divided a path in the middle of the circle surrounded by the three layers inside and the outer three layers.
A small team of people stood up, and a small leader urged Xu Da impatiently: "Follow me!" ”
"Where?" Xu Da asked vigilantly.
I thought to myself, don't drag their family out to be executed!
The little leader glanced at Xu Da, "If you come, don't talk nonsense!" ”
Seeing that they were about to draw their swords, Xu Da and Wang secretly glanced at each other, planning to follow up and take a look first, maybe this was also a chance to escape.
It's just that they had just taken two steps when they were stopped by the general: "Come back!" ”
Xu Da turned around "tremblingly", and the two search soldiers handed over their luggage and wooden boxes, and all the things that had just been poured out were loaded back, and each one was a lot of money.
Xu Da couldn't understand this kind of operation, glanced at the general, and saw that he raised his chin to signal that he was holding it, so he obediently took the wooden box and luggage back.
The two families followed the small group of men and horses out of the encirclement with trepidation, and then the little leader asked, "Can you ride a horse?" ”
Xu Da thought for a moment, he was an honest farmer who shouldn't be able to ride a horse, and shook his head.
"It's really annoying, how can the adults hand over this kind of thing to Lao Tzu!" The little leader muttered two words irritably, giving the soldiers next to him a look.
Six soldiers rode over, and one of them reached out to grab Sister Xu Yue, if it weren't for Xu Yue's quick reaction, Xu Dalang would almost jump up and twist off this person's head.
"Brother, it's okay." After Xu Yue softly comforted her brother, she was immediately carried to the horse.
Immediately after Xu Da, Wang, Xu Dalang, and Wang Da had a family of four, none of them were left behind.
The soldiers took them on their horses, turned and ran towards the official road, and in that direction they were heading towards the river.
The wind mixed with the yellow sand hit their faces, and Xu Yue and Xu Erniang were blown so that they couldn't open their eyes.
The soldier sandwiched the two of her in front of him, and he had no concept of caring for the human cubs at all, and he wanted to speed up the horse as fast as possible, in order not to be blown out by the horse, the two sisters Xu Yue could only hold on to the saddle in front of them.
In this way, the two families were led by a horse team to gallop fifty miles from the Jizhou border to the boundary of Hejian County.
The soldiers put them down, turned around and left, billowing the dust and smoke all the way away.
