Chapter 153 Saving Xin Tong privately
Back in the barracks, Li Xinpeng quietly slipped out while Xiang Ye and the others celebrated the annihilation of Wu Yue's sword mound in one fell swoop.
Xin Tong was held in a separate cell, which was originally intended for officers and soldiers who had violated military discipline and were awaiting punishment. There was not even a single window on the four walls of the cell, only a wooden 'door' with iron pins on the outside.
Although Li Xinpeng did not have an official position, the Chu army in Haiyan City knew that he was a person close to Xiang Ye, and the Chu army guarding the cell naturally did not inquire too much when he saw him coming.
"What happened to the 'woman' locked inside?" Li Xinpeng straightened his chest and walked to the 'door' of the cell where Xin Tong was being held, and asked the two Chu soldiers guarding the 'door' with some arrogance.
The two Chu soldiers knew his identity, of course they wouldn't worry too much about him, so they hurriedly bowed down and saluted him and said, "It's quiet, it's been quiet since I was locked in." General Lee, she can't be dead, right? ”
Hearing the two soldiers say this, Li Xinpeng's heart suddenly pinched, and he glanced at them and said, "She is a swordsman, how can she die so easily!" ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the iron pin on the 'door' and said to the two soldiers: "Open the 'door', General Xiang wants to interrogate her, and specially asked me to mention her." ”
"Oh!" The two soldiers answered, and although they were a little suspicious, they didn't ask much, and turned to open the prison door.
Li Xinpeng entered the cell, probably because there was no sunlight in this room all year round, and there was a strong musty smell wafting in the room.
He frowned, and let a soldier standing outside the 'door' come in and light the oil lamp in the room.
After the soldiers lit the oil lamp, in the dim light, Li Xinpeng saw Xin Tong curled up in a corner of the house and did not move.
He hurriedly stepped forward, picked up Xin Tong, turned around and walked towards the 'door'.
"General Li, what are you doing here?" When the two soldiers saw his strange behavior, they were suspicious in their hearts, and hurriedly blocked the 'door' to block his way.
No one will interrogate a prisoner like Li Xinpeng, even if the prisoner is unable to move, no one will carry him and walk out, Li Xinpeng's irrational behavior made the soldier who had no doubt just now suddenly suspicious of him.
"Get out of the way!" Li Xinpeng glared at them and shouted, "General Xiang has an order for me to take her for interrogation, do you dare to stop me?" ”
"Since General Xiang has an order, please show General Li a good-looking handwritten message:!" Li Xinpeng's strange performance had already made the two soldiers completely suspicious of him, and one of the soldiers pressed his sword without concession and said: "If there is no hand, please put the prisoner down!" ”
"How dare you stop me!" Seeing that these two soldiers were unwilling to back down, Li Xinpeng glared at them, lowered his voice and said, "Do you believe that I will kill someone?" ”
He didn't expect that it was his words that made the two soldiers sure that he did not have Xiang Ye's edict, but wanted to release the prisoner 'privately'. (text only)
A soldier stood at the 'gate' with his hand on the hilt of his sword to block Li Xinpeng's way, while another soldier ran towards the crowded place in the barracks, shouting loudly as he ran: "Li Xinpeng wants to release the prisoner 'privately', come and help!" ”
As soon as the soldier shouted, Li Xinpeng was suddenly anxious, if he really recruited other people in the barracks, he might not be easy to leave.
Li Xinpeng was hesitating whether to draw his sword and 'force' the soldiers blocking the 'gate' to retreat, when the sound of many people running was heard in the barracks.
The hut used as a cell was soon surrounded by a large group of Chu troops, and Li Xinpeng, who was carrying Xin Tong on his back, was trapped in the house.
"Put me down." The dying Xin Tong lay on Li Xinpeng's back, she struggled hard to jump off his back, but she was too weak and struggled a few times, but she couldn't break free.
"I'll take you out." Li Xinpeng whispered to Xin Tong who was lying on his back: "I will tell General Xiang that you are not a bad person, you are just 'bewitched' by Xin Tu, so you will come to kill me Other book friends are watching:." ”
"It's useless." Xin Tong shook his head and said intermittently: "I assassinated you, and he won't let me go." Why did you save me? ”
Li Xinpeng didn't answer her, his gaze had shifted to Chu Jun who was surrounding the cell.
"Get out of the way!" Li Xinpeng squinted slightly, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he shouted fiercely at the Chu army outside.
The Chu army did not get out of the way, but there were more and more Chu troops who came later.
"Who's arrogant here?" Just as Li Xinpeng was thinking about whether to rush out, a familiar voice came from behind Chu Jun.
Xiang Ye, who was drinking with everyone in the barracks, heard the noise outside, and heard that someone forcibly took the prisoners away, and looked inside the barracks, but Li Xinpeng was missing, and immediately understood what had happened. In order to prevent Li Xinpeng from doing something stupid, he hurriedly brought someone over.
Separated from the Chu army who surrounded the barracks, Xiang Ye walked to the 'door' of the cell, glared at Li Xinpeng and scolded: "Xinpeng! What are you working on? Asking you to bring the prisoner for interrogation, what are you making a fuss about? ”
After listening to Xiang Ye's words, Li Xinpeng was stunned, what Xiang Ye said was exactly the same excuse he used when he came just now.
However, his reaction was also very fast, after Xiang Ye said what he asked him to mention the criminal, he immediately said to Xiang Ye with a bitter face: "General, it's not that I don't want to hurry, it's that they think I'm 'private' to mention criminals, and they surround me here and don't let me go, other book friends are watching:." ”
"Oh!" Xiang Ye nodded, looking understood, turned around and arched his hand to the Chu army who was surrounded and said, "Soldiers, it is indeed the person I asked Li Xinpeng to mention, but I was negligent for a while, and I actually forgot to give him an edict, which disturbed everyone, everyone go back to drink!" ”
As soon as the officers and soldiers of Chu heard him say this, they dispersed one after another, and when they left, many of them slapped the head lightly on the head of the Chu army who shouted that Li Xinpeng was 'privately' letting people go, making the Chu army laugh at the bitter face and look embarrassed.
When all the Chu troops dispersed, Xiang Ye walked up to the Chu army who called for someone to surround Li Xinpeng, patted him lightly on the shoulder and said, "Brother, it's good, without a hand, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't let him go!" I admire you, and from this day onwards, you will come to my tent and be my personal soldier, will you? ”
As soon as the Chu army heard Xiang Ye say that he wanted him to go to the front of the tent to be a personal soldier, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Back to the general, it is really a blessing for the villain to be a personal soldier in front of the general's tent, but it is not only me who is stopping General Li, but also him!" ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Chu Jun, who was the first to block the 'door'.
Xiang Ye glanced at Chu Jun, who was looking at his half-kneeling companion with admiration on his face, and said with a smile: "You are all good, let's go to my tent to report together!" ”
The two Chu soldiers happily received the order and ran to report to Xiang Ye's barracks.
After they left, Xiang Ye asked Bai Fu and the others to wait outside and entered the cell alone.
He first glared at Li Xinpeng, then reached out to hold Xin Tong's chin, looked at her face, and said to Li Xinpeng: "She is very weak, you take her back to your barracks first, and then I will ask Mr. Han Xian to see what other book friends are reading:." ”
"General...... I ......" Li Xinpeng saw that Xiang Ye didn't blame him at all, but felt uneasy in his heart, he raised his head, looked at Xiang Ye and opened his mouth, and was interrupted by Xiang Ye waving his hand as soon as he said a few words.
"Your business will be calculated later, you take good care of her in the past few days, and we will go north to find General Xiang Yu in a short time." Xiang Ye dropped this sentence, turned around and walked out of the 'door', and led Bai Fu and the others who came with him back to the barracks to continue drinking.
After Shi Lei took a few steps, he looked back at Li Xinpeng, didn't say anything, just shook his head and sighed.
After Xiang Ye and the others left, Li Xinpeng carried Xin Tong on his back and walked towards his own barracks, along the way he also met several groups of patrolling Chu troops, these Chu soldiers knew that he was on Xiang Ye's order to take away prisoners, and did not embarrass him, and soon he came to his own barracks.
His barracks was a room for three people to live in, Shi Lei and Jing Ao also lived in this room, and they were drinking in Xiang Ye's barracks at this time, so when Li Xinpeng came back, the barracks was empty, and there was not even a single figure.
After the battle of Huangshawu, coupled with the toss just now, the eastern sky has been slightly 'exposed' to the white of the fish's belly.
Li Xinpeng put Xin Tong on the couch and covered her with a thin linen cloth, perhaps she had not slept so comfortably for many days, and Xin Tong soon fell asleep.
After settling Xin Tong, Li Xinpeng sat on the edge of the couch, looking at the sleeping Xin Tong stupidly, looking at the dirty, tired but beautiful face, he felt his heart "poof, tom, puff" and beat faster Other book friends are reading:.
"May I come in?" Just as he was looking at Xin Tong obsessively, Han Xian's voice came from the 'door'.
Hearing Han Xian's voice, Li Xinpeng hurriedly jumped up, pulled the 'door' open, and said to Han Xian with 'excitement': "Mr. Han, please come in quickly!" ”
Han Xian entered the room with a smile, looked at Xin Tong lying on the couch, and said to Li Xinpeng: "General Xiang told me that your future wife is very weak now, let me help take a look, isn't it lying there?" ”
Listening to Han Xian's slightly joking words, Li Xinpeng suddenly blushed, and said in a snort: "General Xiang is joking, where is she my future wife, I just think she is not bad to save her." ”
Han Xian glanced at Li Xinpeng, with a playful smile on his face, he didn't speak again, turned around and walked to the couch, and after sitting down, he reached out and grabbed Xin Tong's wrist.
After a while, Han Xiancai nodded and let go of his hand, and said to Li Xinpeng behind him: "She did suffer some skin and 'flesh' injuries, but there is no big problem, but she has suffered a little bit these days, and her body is very weak, I will prescribe you two 'medicines', you go to the military quartermaster to ask for some 'meat', and use the 'medicine' to boil some 'meat' for her to eat, and she will recover in two days." ”
As soon as he heard that Xin Tong's body was fine, Li Xinpeng almost laughed out loud with joy, and hurriedly bowed down to Han Xian and said: "Thank you Mr. Han for your wonderful hands, when Xin Tong's body recovers, I will definitely tell her clearly and let her come to the 'door' to thank you!" ”
"Forget it!" Han Xian stood up, waved his hand at Li Xinpeng and said with a smile: "It's not necessary to go to the 'door' to thank you, or wait until you really become husband and wife in the future, let me beg for a glass of wine!"
