Chapter 45: Caught? inexistent

Unexpectedly, everything went smoothly on the way to Cheongju.

From Yejing to Qingzhou, and then to the transfer and delivery of grain, it only took four days in total.

Lin Yi'an thought that God was protecting her.

But there is a saying that providence makes people. When Lin Yi'an sat in the carriage and rushed to the state capitals around Los Angeles, a group of bandits fell from the sky, not bandits but Rouran people. They were so menacing that even the carriage was split in half, and she was taken captive.

Thankfully, Uncle Dong did as she told him. During the fight, he took advantage of the chaos to escape.

The Rouran people seemed to just want to capture Lin Yi'an alive, and they didn't care about the individual domestic servants who escaped. Only found a thick rope to tie Lin Yi'an's hands and feet, and stuffed a strip of cloth in her mouth to prevent her from screaming.

A black cloth cover covered most of her body, and Lin Yi'an was thrown on horseback and taken away.

The cloth covered her head, and she couldn't see anything. I just feel that time flies very slowly. I don't know how long it took to walk before Lin Yi'an was rudely lifted. Carried her to a place like a chicken, and then threw her heavily on something that resembled a bed.

She was faintly worried. These people don't seem to be aiming for money. After throwing her here, no one did anything to her, and it didn't seem to be greedy for women.

Doubts grew in her heart, and it was not until someone removed the cloth covering her head that she finally knew the purpose of these people.

This place, not anywhere else, is the military camp of Rouran.

It was obvious that they knew Lin Yi'an's identity and kidnapped her to threaten Mu Cheng.

Lin Yi'an didn't have the extra mind to think about why those Rouran people knew her whereabouts well. She could only quickly judge her current situation in her mind.

Although the method of tying up the other party's wife to threaten is extremely ungraceful, it is very effective. If on the day of the battle, when the soldiers of both sides are approaching the city, Rouran pushes Lin Yi'an out, which will not only make it difficult for Mu Cheng to choose, but also directly hit the morale of the Dajin soldiers.

As the saying goes, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion. Morale is a very important thing when fighting a war.

When Lin Yi'an was still seriously thinking about whether there was any way to escape, a middle-aged man walked in with water, he tore off the cloth strip in Lin Yi'an's mouth and threw it on the ground at will, and then no matter how much water Lin Yi'an could drink, in short, it was a big bowl and poured it directly.

Lin Yi'an was choked a lot, and the man didn't stuff the strip of cloth back into her mouth. That's right, it's all in the Rouran military camp anyway, and it doesn't make sense for her to shout for help now, so it doesn't matter if she is gaged or not.

Lin Yi'an carefully looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and affirmed: "You are a Dajin person." ”

The man looked down at his outfit and said, "I'm obviously wearing a soft military uniform, how do you know that I'm from Dajin." ”

"Although you have changed into a Rouran military uniform, your shoes are the most common boot style in Dajin, and Rouran people like to wear short-haired boots." Lin Yi'an's eyes fell on the boots on the man's feet: "The soles of your shoes are made higher than ordinary people, they must have been made for you by your wife, she is so caring." ”

The man was shocked: "You can see so much in a pair of shoes?" ”

"Not only that, I also know that you have children, and you shouldn't be very old, seven or eight years old."

The man was shocked again: "You—how do you know?" ”

"There are sugar stains on your boots, and the children who can eat and like to eat sugar gourds are generally seven or eight years old, too young to eat, too big to eat." Lin Yi'an showed a harmless smile and asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?" ”

"Boy." The man replied unconsciously.

As soon as the words came out, he felt that he was speechless, but he just came in to feed his saliva and talk to her in a good way.

He was about to leave, but saw the woman smile and asked, "Why did you betray Dajin and join Rouran?" ”

Although she was laughing, she had an indescribable meaning. The man snorted coldly and didn't speak, but he didn't leave.

"Let me think about it-" Lin Yi'an deliberately paused for a moment before saying, "Is it because of money?" ”

The man's expression moved slightly, and he turned his head away without moving.

This woman seems to be able to easily see through a person's heart. The man was a little stunned. No wonder others say that the more beautiful a woman is, the more she kills invisibly.

"Looks like I guessed right." Lin Yi'an smiled and said casually: "But how much money can Rouran give you?" It should be enough to have enough food and clothing, but it is just barely enough. For this money, you betrayed your country, sold your backbone, and became a traitor, what about your son? Does your son know that his father is a traitor? ”

"Traitor?" The man was furious: "Do you know how long this battle has been fought? Do you know how many people have been displaced? Do you know how many people died of starvation instead of war? Has the court ever controlled our life and death? All the rice distributed was stones! Oh, traitor...... If your wife and children are dying of hunger, what if you betray the country? What about traitors? Am I going to watch them starve to death? ”

Angry? It's good to be angry, which proves that there is still a trace of the blood of the big brocade boy in it. Lin Yi'an was silent for a moment: "Why don't you go outside to make a living?" ”

The man seemed even more angry: "None of the sixteen surrounding cities will take in us outcasts, and we can only live in this war-torn place, and no one cares. ”

"Why don't you speak? Aren't you smart? The man smiled mockingly: "How can you people who are pampered in Yejing know ......?"

"Yes, I don't understand." Lin Yi'an said bluntly: "But I can help you." ”

The man glanced at her and said disdainfully: "You can't protect yourself, how can you help me?" ”

Lin Yi'an smiled: "It's better for us to talk about a condition." ”

"If you can do things for the people of Rouran for food and clothing, why can't you cooperate with me for a better life? As you know, I am Mu Cheng's wife and the general's wife. If you cooperate with me, you will not only be able to wash away the traitorous reputation you have on your back, but you will also be rewarded handsomely. ”

"With this money, take your wife and children to find a new place to settle down, and live a stable life?"

Lin Yi'an is like this, he can always spy on the weakness of others in a few words, and then firmly grasp this point to protect himself.

"Whether you live or not is to be determined, and how can I be sure that I will get that money." The man said.

"If you promise me, you'll get it now."

Although Lin Yi'an's hands were tied, she could barely reach the gap between the belts around her waist, and she pulled out a silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver out of nowhere.

"See? This is a hundred taels, and if you promise me that when I go out, I will give you another five hundred taels. That's enough money for you to raise your children to adulthood. ”

The man took the silver ticket and cautiously walked to the dark place to check the authenticity, and then came over and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will run away today with this hundred taels?" ”

"If you run away, I'll make the Rouran people mistakenly think you're from Los Angeles. I'm afraid you've been killed before you even run out of this city, along with your wife and children. ”

"It's vicious." The man smacked his lips: "Still, I promised you." ”

Lin Yi'an was not surprised, but asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Iron Pillar." The man said.

"How many Jinren like you have taken refuge in Rouran because of their livelihood?"

"Not much, about forty or fifty people."

"How sure are you if you want me to persuade them to come to me?"

"Is there any money?" Tiezhu asked.

This is a real problem. Lin Yi'an stretched his head over: "You take off the wooden hairpin on my head." ”

"Break it off."

Tie Zhu did so: "This wooden hairpin is actually hollow." ”

"It's not a bad thing to have money when you're away from home." Lin Yi'an said: "There are about 1,000 taels of silver in it, you take it first, it will be counted as a deposit, as long as they are willing to help me do a few things, I will not only thank you afterwards, I will also plead with the general and give you a title of honor, so as to avoid the infamy on your body." ”

Tie Zhu was obviously tempted, but he still asked tentatively, "That...... What do you want us to do? ”

A hint of cunning flashed in Lin Yi'an's eyes: "It's very simple, you come with your ears." ”
