Chapter Eighty-Five: Little Girl: Xiang
Before they could go out, they heard a child's scream.
Baling trotted all the way out first.
By the time a few of us had gone out, Baling had already helped the little girl up. Beside him, a young man in a black robe with a gloomy face was standing with a rather fine stick and pointing at Baling.
"Where did you come from, Xiao Nizi, are you tired of being crooked? Believe it or not, I'm even fighting you! ”
A few followers next to him, one of the leading doglegs recognized Baling, and hurried up to alert the bully.
"Childe, she is Ba Taoyao's sister, Ba Ling! Let's not provoke her. ”
The person at the head snorted coldly, and said with disdain on his face: "What about Ba Taoyao? Isn't it just a businessman, with a low status, what is there to fear? ”
When Baling heard him insult his sister, he said angrily, "Who are you? How do you squirt feces all over your mouth?! ”
When the man saw that Baling dared to scold him, his face turned cold, and he raised the stick in his hand to beat him.
"Dare to scold Ben Gongzi? Let you see how powerful my kite sealing stick method is! ”
Seeing that the stick was about to fall, Meng He stepped forward suddenly, tore away the evil slave next to him, reached out and grabbed the stick, but with a twist, the young man named Feng Kite let go of his hand in pain.
Feng Kite shouted, held his arm, and said angrily: "Dare to meddle? Give it to me! ”
As soon as the words fell, a team of forbidden troops in armor came in a neat line, and the person at the head of the leader, Xianyang Lingying!
Yingjiang surrounded everyone and was about to salute me, when she saw me shaking her head slightly, and said, "I've seen my lord!" ”
I stepped forward, looked at the kite, and said lightly, "Kite? Good name, it's a pity to use it on you. ”
Feng Kite saw that the forbidden army surrounded him, and he panicked, how could anyone dare to surround him when he was in Changsha County. Seeing Yingjiang saluting me, she forced her composure and said, "Who are you?" ”
I waved my hand.
"Yingjiang, tell him who you are."
Yingjiang took a step forward, and her tone was terrifyingly cold.
"I'm Xianyang Lingying!"
Yingjiang also received an order from Meng He to patrol the perimeter, and Akari guaranteed my safety. Originally, Xianyangfang City was very lively today, Yingjiang thought that she could perform well in front of me this time to see how prosperous Xianyang City was managed, but she didn't expect that she had just left Fang City to inspect the surroundings, and this kind of thing happened. Yingjiang couldn't wait to pull out a knife and chop him immediately!
I snorted, "As for who I am?" You don't deserve to hear it! Yingjiang, put him in prison and hand him over to the court captain for trial! ”
Ying Jiang said "take it", and the surrounding forbidden army immediately held down a few people and prepared to send them to the edict.
I didn't pay attention to it anymore, there are too many scum who are bullying people in this kind of battle, if I don't meet them, forget it, now he dares to be so rampant in front of me, he must be treated well.
I turned around to see who was being beaten, but I heard the shouts of the kite behind me.
"My father is the county guard of Changsha! Let me go! ”
Feng Kite was really panicked now, he was lawless and had heard of what the edict was for. didn't care about being dragged by the forbidden army, and kept shouting: "My father is the county guard of Changsha!" I have something important to do in Xianyang, let me go! ”
My footsteps are paused, the son of Changsha County Shoufeng Tuo? How could he be in Xianyang? Things seem to be getting interesting.
Over there, Baling and Yinglan had already helped the beaten man into the house.
I went back inside and took a closer look at her.
A little girl of eight or nine years old was lying on the couch, already hungry to the bones, her face and body were scarred, both old and new. Although it is spring, the weather in Xianyang is still very cold, but the little girl does not even wear a pair of shoes on her feet, a pair of feet are rubbed into a blur of flesh and blood, I don't know how long she has been walking barefoot in the cold winter.
Ba Ling and Yinglan were busy feeding the little girl hot water and adding clothes, and they were so distressed that they almost cried. Not to mention the two girls, even I can't bear it, how can this beast bear to attack such a little girl!
After a long time, the little girl slowly woke up, looked at the people in front of her, and shrunk into a ball, trembling with fear.
Yinglan hurriedly comforted: "Little sister, don't be afraid, we saved you, what's your name?" ”
The little girl saw that Yinglan and Ba Ling were both girls, and slowly lowered her vigilance, and whispered, "Wall." ”
A few people looked confused, how could there be a wall?
Yinglan asked, "Where are you from?" ”
The little girl shook her head: "%#%......"
Yinglan and Baling stared wide-eyed, they couldn't understand!
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, Baling flew out of the brewery.
After a short time, Baling ran over with a middle-aged woman, and the woman was so tired that she was out of breath.
"Wood, quick, can you listen to this little sister's speech. Little sister, repeat what you just said. ”
The little girl whispered a few words again, but it didn't seem to be the same as what she had just heard.
The woman named Mu listened carefully and said, "Miss Ling, she said the old Chu official dialect, saying thank you for your help, and she will definitely not forget your great kindness." ”
It dawned on me that it was no wonder that the original language was spoken in the south, which was much more difficult to understand in the Qin Dynasty than in later generations.
I glanced at Baling, this little girl is still a little useful.
Baling continued, "Then ask her, what is her name?" Where did it come from? Where are you going? What about her parents? ……”
I saw that she seemed to be checking the account, and quickly interrupted: "Don't rush, take your time." ”
Only then did Baling shut up. Mu relayed these questions to the little girl one by one, and we learned about her background.
The little girl's name is Xiang, she has no father and no mother, she grew up in Nanjun since she was a child, and she lives alone with her grandmother. Last year, my grandmother also died, the little girl was helpless, I heard that the grain pile of the Xianyang treasury was going to overflow, where did she know what the treasury was, only knew that Xianyang had grain, so she asked all the way to Xianyang. It took more than half a year to arrive in Xianyang in early spring, but I didn't expect to be beaten as soon as I arrived in Xianyang.
Both of us and I were amazed. With such a young child, it is hard to imagine how she went all the way to Xianyang, and how she escaped the wind and rain along the way. It's good that I met us, otherwise I would have been beaten to death today.
Ba Ling was angry, got up suddenly, looked at me and said, "...... Xiang must be avenged! ”
I held it for a long time, and I didn't know what to call me or give me an "order", so I simply expressed my attitude directly.
Even Yinglan, who has always been sensible, was angry and did not stop Ba Ling.
I also felt that the little girl was too pitiful, and nodded, "I will make him pay." ”
But at this time, I was thinking about more than just Hunan affairs.
Changsha County Shoufeng Tuo, I have heard of this person, and I have also seen him at the court meeting, which is not a good impression, nor a bad impression. However, the only thing that stands out is that the grain that is handed over to the state treasury every year is much better than that of those large grain-producing counties.
If it is a great court, there is nothing suspicious that Feng Kite will travel at public expense as the son of Feng Tuo. But now that there are still eight months before the Great Dynasty Meeting, what is Feng Kite doing in Xianyang at this time? There is still a big thing in his mouth, I am afraid that something will happen in Changsha County.
Instructed Yinglan and Baling to take good care of Xiang, I turned around and took Meng He back to Xianyang Palace.
