Shen Yingniang looked at the river outside, looked in the direction of the capital, and couldn't help sighing.

"Husband, when did you write to me, just leave me here alone and do it in a hurry!"

……

Jackdaw Pass.

"Hurry up, don't give me any trouble!"

A Great Xia soldier pushed a ragged man with a somewhat rude expression.

The person who was pushed raised his face, it was Jiang Lai, Jiang Lai smiled flatteringly, and several other people were followed behind him, but they all lowered their heads and did not speak, looking stunned.

Jiang Lai took the initiative to come to the soldier and said, "Master Jun, where are you taking us?" We really escaped from the hands of the barbarians, not some kind of spies, haven't you already asked? We are all the people of Great Xia, and we are all ......"

"Shut up!"

The soldier obviously didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he scolded him angrily.

"Follow honestly, what are you doing with so much nonsense, you say that you are not a spy, you are not a spy? You came from Great Xia, who knows if you are a real citizen of Great Xia, or a spy? I'll see General Su later, and the general will make his own decision! ”

Along the way, many people in Jackdaw Pass stared at Jiang Lai and a few people with unkind eyes.

Jiang Lai and the others are famous, and they all know that they came from the barbarians.

Jackdaw Pass has been harassed by the barbarians, and many of them have relatives who died at the hands of the barbarians, so most of the people are full of hatred for the people who run over from the barbarians.

Even if Jiang Lai and the others seem to be the looks of the Great Xia people, they still hate them, and they hate the house and the house.

Walking through the dilapidated streets, the soldier soon escorted Jiang Lai and the others to the yamen of Jackdaw Pass.

Now this place has been taken over by the frontier army, and inside and outside Jackdaw Pass, there are soldiers standing guard everywhere.

As for the county order in the yamen, he has now become a subordinate of the general of the frontier army, trying to behave and directing the people to help move the stones of the stone throwing tools.

But none of this is important, the important thing is that the biggest person in Jackdaw Pass today is the first coach of this Xinjiang, Sunan.

And Jiang Lai, who was brought over by this Great Xia soldier, naturally has something to ask, if he doesn't answer well, I'm afraid it won't end well.

The soldier stared at Jiang Lai with unkind eyes, and rudely pushed the person in: "Hurry in, what the general asks later, you will answer, if there is half a lie, don't blame us in the army for being unkind!" “

When the Great Xia soldier spoke, his eyes were full of oppression, and his tone was cold, he was originally a person who had experienced the battlefield and seen human blood, and this remark made Jiang Lai and the others tremble with fright.

Jiang Lai only forced his composure, he laughed dryly and said: "The military master said that he was joking, if the general asked, we would naturally answer well, where would there be half a sentence to hide?" We ......"

"Alright, shut up and go in!"

The military master didn't want to say more to Jiang Lai, so after interrupting him, he directly took the person inside.

Jiang Lai sighed, turned around and glanced at the person who came with him, and followed with trembling, but when he lowered his head, his eyes were calm, which showed that this panic was faked.

Open the door, the outside looks simple, the inside of the yamen is a cave, although the furniture is not gorgeous, but it is also complete, not at all like the specifications of the bitter cold land of the frontier.

At this time, Sunan sitting on the main seat was a tall middle-aged man with a somewhat majestic expression, but Sunan has always had a hobby, that is, drinking.

The Great Xia soldier smiled and arched his hand: "General, people have brought, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask, you don't dare to talk nonsense if you want to come." ”

After speaking, he glared at Jiang Lai and the others fiercely, which was regarded as a warning.

Jiang Lai lowered his head even more, and a few timid people behind him even started shaking.

After the Great Xia soldiers brought the people here, they walked to the side and stood without speaking, watching silently as a sign of deterrence.

Sunan just glanced at it slightly, and Jiang Lai and the others felt the invisible mountain pressing down, and they fell to their knees.

Sunan smiled disdainfully, put down the red wine jar of his daughter in his hand, wiped his mouth, stepped on the back of the chair with one foot, leaned on his knees with his elbows, and showed his golden sword, with a heroic posture and contempt.

"Tell me, what's the matter with you? How did a few Daxia people run into the barbarian tents? If you can't tell one, two, three, don't blame General Ben for directly treating you as spies sent by the barbarians! “

Jiang Lai and the others were so frightened that they denied it again and again.

Jiang Lai, as a representative, could only reply in a trembling voice: "General, general, we, we are not spies, we are all the people of Great Xia, speaking of which, we are also victims, and the reason why we fell into the hands of the barbarians is also a coincidence...... Phew, no, it's not a coincidence, it's our bad luck! “

Sunan looked interested and raised his eyebrows.

"Oh? Unlucky? Then you should talk about it, what kind of unlucky method, or rather, what kind of chance and legality, you will mix with a group of barbarians, and you are not ordinary barbarians, after all, this time you brought troops, but the five princes of the barbarians have always had a reputation for being brave and good at fighting. ”

"Now that the Jackdaw Pass is being watched by them, this general is so difficult to guard, at this critical moment, you Daxia people, you can actually run out from under their noses and mix with our Jackdaw Pass, I really don't know whether to say that you are lucky, or if you have other intentions."

Jiang Lai said with a pale face: "General! Wronged, we really took the opportunity to sneak out, and the general misunderstood us like this, we were really flustered. ”

After saying this, it seemed that he was afraid that Sunan would misunderstand more, so Jiang Lai hurriedly explained.

"General, the reason why we fell into the hands of the barbarians is because we were taken away on a business trip before, we were originally businessmen in Jiangnan, and when we passed through the Qibu Pass, we were so unlucky to meet the barbarians."

"The seven-step pass was broken by the barbarians at that time, and a group of our businessmen just arrived, and they didn't know about this situation at all, and when they went out, they happened to catch up with the barbarians to break through the pass, and we, including many people, were arrested together."

"Fortunately, we are not from the Great Xia army, so after the barbarians captured us, they did not torture us, and we escaped."

After speaking, Jiang Lai arched his hands and said bitterly.

"General, we, we don't have any other requests, we just want to survive the catastrophe and escape from the barbarians, and now we are desperate for our lives, we escaped from the barbarians and returned to our territory in Great Xia."

"After several lives and deaths, we have only one thought, that is, to hurry back to our families, and ask the general to send someone to escort us back, and when we return to Jiangnan and return to our families, we must have a heavy ...... thanks."

"Bang!"

Sunan slapped on the table, Jiang Lai's words stopped abruptly, his body shook in fright, and he knelt directly on the ground and didn't dare to get up, and the people behind him trembled, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads.

Sunan sneered.

"A mere businessman, how dare you order General Ben? Now that the frontier is facing a fierce enemy, you still want General Ben to send people back to Jiangnan? Don't forget, you haven't taken off your name as a spy yet. ”

"Besides, how long has it been since the seven-step pass was broken? You have been in the hands of the barbarians for so long, and now you look a little haggard, and you have not suffered any flesh injuries, I never knew that the barbarians are such merciful people, and they didn't even lift a finger of you? “

"You are so suspicious, you still have the face to say that you are not a spy, and you dare to say that you are a businessman in Jiangnan, and even want me to send you to Jiangnan? You spy, you can't help but be too stupid, are you taking General Ben for a fool? “

After the last sentence was finished, Sunan slapped the table again, and Jiang Lai's face turned pale.

"General, the villain doesn't dare! The reason why the villain was able to escape in the barbarian tent was because...... The villain used some means, but he just said it, and he was afraid of making the general angry when he said it, so he concealed it......"

Speaking of this, Jiang Lai lowered his head with a look of shame.

Sunan hooked his lips and became curious.

"Tell me, what means have been used, you must know that the barbarians have always been brutal, and the people who caught us in Great Xia, whether they were soldiers or ordinary people, have always been unforgiving, but you can not only save a small life, but also live so nourishingly."

"The most important thing is that when the two sides are fighting, they can still take the opportunity to sneak away, General Ben is not sure that he can do this, but you few small businessmen can do it, it really makes General Ben curious!"

Jiang Lai looked ashamed and said.

"The general is an ambitious and arrogant person, if he is really captured by the barbarians, he will naturally be iron-clad, and he would rather die than give in, but, but the villains are just humble merchants."

"Falling into the hands of the barbarians, everything is based on saving life, and the villain is still the only son in the family, if he dies in the hands of the barbarians, I am afraid that no one will be filial to his parents, so the villain, the villain ......"

Sunan narrowed his eyes and said dangerously.

"So, did you betray our Great Xia and survive by being a traitor?"

Jiang Lai's eyes widened and he quickly denied it.

"No, not the general! The villains are just a few merchants, they don't know much about the things of Daxia, and they know at most some customs, the barbarians asked, the villain said, but they didn't say anything important, the reason why they were able to escape, the most important thing is that the villain, the villain ......"

When he said this, Jiang Lai paused, and looked a little unspeakable.

Sunan said angrily: "What is it? You say, don't say it, this is confirming your identity as a spy? “

Jiang Lai could only say: "General, the villain is really not a spy, but although the barbarians are brutal, they are all human beings in the end, since they are human beings, then they have something to ask, this barbarian people have always lived by water, but where the water and grass are not good, the cattle and sheep they raise will not live to the end of the year, so they attach great importance to money, food and other vulgar things." ”

"The villain is to grasp this point, the villain first shows weakness, and then lures them with profits, promising them a large sum of money, the villain is a businessman, money is something outside the body, should be given up, the villain pleaded with the barbarian leader, saying that we are just a few insignificant businessmen, begging them to let us go."

"In this way, we wrote back to our hometown in Jiangnan, asked our family to send money, and ransomed us, so that we can survive now, the barbarians do not kill us for the time being, but they do not let us have a good time, they left us in the barbarian military tent, let us do a lot of work......"

Speaking of this, Jiang Lai picked up his sleeves and began to wipe his tears, his face full of grievances.

"General, the villains also know that it is not a gentleman's work to steal a life like this."
