Chapter 178: The Enemy Army Arrives
Suddenly, the sound of painful wails spread throughout the house, and even Wang Hang, who was passing by outside, was startled and hurried away.
Song Qingyou estimated that he was studying some cruel torture, look at those experimental chicks, it's really pitiful!
Xiao Qishu saw that the time was almost up, squatted down, pinched Wang Hu's chin and asked, "Do you want to continue to try the taste of life is worse than death, or is it better to know the times as a junjie?" ”
Wang Hu trembled in pain, he couldn't even straighten his tongue, and he pointed at his tongue with the only strength he had left.
"Woooooo
"If you said that, wouldn't you have to suffer all this?" Song Qingyou walked over and took out a pill for him to eat.
In an instant, his tongue stopped hurting and he was able to speak, but the pain in his fingers had gradually spread to his entire arm, and the clear pain made him and Pan out.
"It's Jiang Guifei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is Jiang Guifei's father, we were instructed by her to come to Kushui County to see if the Xiao family will rebel, as long as the evidence of the Xiao family's rebellion is implemented, the emperor will kill Xiao Qishu."
It turns out that Jiang Guifei is also involved!
Xiao Qishu's eyes deepened a little deeper, revealing a hint of ridicule.
Wang Hu said tentatively: "I heard that Jiang Guifei had a dewy relationship with the general before, presumably Jiang Guifei had a grudge, so she attacked the general!" ”
Hearing this, Song Qingyou's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Xiao Qishu with the mentality of watching gossip.
"So, you had another such a paragraph before?" Jiang Guifei is equivalent to Xiao Qishu's white moonlight?
Xiao Qishu frowned, his face was gloomy, and he refused immediately: "I have nothing to do with her!" ”
"Okay, okay, what about these people?" Song Qingyou is not a vexatious person, and he will not hold on to other people's past.
Wang Hu saw that he felt the killing intent on Xiao Qishu's body, and instantly begged for mercy: "I told everything I knew, you can't kill me without faith!" ”
It's a thing that is greedy for life and afraid of death!
Xiao Qishu sneered: "No need to kill, just let them write a letter and send it back to Shangjing, and then throw it to the mine to mine." ”
The mine is guarded twelve hours a day, and even the workers go to eat and, and they are safer than the yamen prison, and these people can't escape no matter what.
Wang Hu was pressed and wrote a letter, and then attached the documents on Wang Hu's body, everything was ready, and Wang Hu and others were also thrown into the mine.
After Song Qingyou learned that Xiao Qishu had a white moonlight, he held melon seeds in his hand, and couldn't help but ridicule every day: "I didn't expect that, General Xiao, you and Jiang Guifei actually have a dewy marriage?" Then I think the emperor wants to kill you, and there is indeed a good reason. ”
Who would allow themselves to be cuckolded on their heads, let alone the emperor.
Xiao Qishu was so anxious that he couldn't do it, but he didn't know how to explain it, he only felt that his daughter-in-law was jealous, and he was nervous.
"I, I really have nothing to do with her, but I saved her once, and I really don't know anything about the future."
In his opinion, it was just a passing by to save a young lady from a family, and he didn't know anything about the dew marriage, and later entered the palace for a banquet, Jiang Guifei pulled him to tell his heart, and Xiao Qishu also scolded her for being shameless on this ground.
Who knew it would cause trouble for him in the future.
Song Qingyou smiled very obscenely, with disbelief written all over her face, looking at Xiao Qishu, who was not good at words, anxious and desperately trying to explain to her, she was in a very happy mood.
"Ouch, you are still in the mood to fall in love here, there are villagers over there in Beishan who have come to report to the official, saying that the Huns have come to their village to smash and loot and burn, and more than a dozen people have died."
Wang Hang found Song Qingyou with a anxious face and told them what happened in Beishan.
"Huns?"
Since Xiao Qishu returned to Beijing, the two countries have long ceased war, where did the Xiongnu come from?
"It should be that the enemy country is in civil strife, two years ago I heard that their old emperor is going to die, and there has been no crown prince, it should be that after the death of the old emperor, the princes are fighting each other, and these people who lose are going to be rogue outside."
"Then what should we do now, our Kushui County just happened to be at the border with the enemy country, it was originally a place of exile, the imperial court did not send any guards at all, and even the national protector army was hundreds of miles away, not to mention, we don't have a tiger talisman, and we can't mobilize the army."
Speaking of which, let's talk about the tiger talisman again.
"Have you ever seen how many rogues there are?"
There are many people in Kushui County, they can't abandon them, and there are only twenty or thirty people from the yamen plus the patrol officials, not to mention that after a disaster year, the people don't have the strength to fight against the rogues.
"According to the report of the spies, they camped on the north mountain, there were about three or four thousand people, all of them were strong men, and they looked like they had been fighting on the battlefield all year round."
"They must have seen patches of wheat fields in Kushui County, otherwise how could they pick this place to rob it, who doesn't know that this is a place of exile, and birds don't."
Song Qingyou instantly understood that this wave of rogues saw the wealth of Kushui County and wanted to take it for himself.
"In that case, they definitely have the next wave of attacks, and we can't sit idly by, we have to take the initiative."
At this time, Xiao Qishu, who had not spoken, had a fire jumping in his eyes: "I went to gather the brothers who recruited from the village before I went to assemble, and I caught them off guard!" ”
"Okay, I'll go to the village on the other side of the North Mountain in disguise first."
"No way!"
As soon as Song Qingyou took a step, Xiao Qishu grabbed her: "Liukou is still in Beishan, you will probably be found if you disguise yourself, it's too dangerous, you can't go." ”
Xiao Qishu was not by her side, she couldn't rest assured of anything, and she said that she wouldn't let her go.
Song Qingyou had no choice but to follow him to shake people.
The news of the rebellion had already spread throughout Kushui County, and many strong men had gathered at the gate of the county ya, one by one, full of righteous indignation.
Seeing Xiao Qishu and Wang Hang coming, they all surrounded and volunteered to set up a military order: "General Xiao, let us follow you to fight the Liukou, if we don't kill these turtle grandchildren, our home will not be able to be defended!" ”
"Yes, General Xiao, you once led troops to fight, as long as you take us, we will definitely kill the rogue without leaving a piece of armor!"
"Count me in!"
"Count me in!"
The scene was impassioned, and even the eighty-year-old man on crutches stood up with one leg lame: "Anyway, half of my body is in the ground, count me as one, I can kill one and earn one!" ”
Xiao Qishu hadn't seen such a surging passion for a long time, and he also resonated, as if he was back on the battlefield again.
"The rogues are in chaos, in order to protect their wives and children, all of them who are men come up to me to sign and draw charges, and go to the yamen to get weapons!"
The strong men rushed forward to sign and draw the pledge, and went to the yamen to get weapons.
Song Qingyou stood aside, not in a hurry at all, there were about a few hundred of these strong men, plus the batch she had worked so hard to train......
Thinking of this, Song Qingyou showed an evil smile.
