Chapter 36: The Bandits' Capture
Before it was dark, Jiuxi and Qiansang rode all the way to the vicinity of Qianguo, and sure enough, there were rogues on the road who came out to block the road and asked them to hand over their valuable things and dry food.
I don't know what the current situation of Qianguo is, Jiuxi put all the things he needed into the ring that he could store from his master, and even the ruby bracelet that he had just worn for a long time on his hand. Just like Jiuxi said in the cabin of Qinsang, who doesn't have a magic weapon that can store things.
Then he put the ring in his arms and hid it, and he couldn't find it without a careful search. Qin Sang also put the things on his body in the inconspicuous Buddha beads on his wrist.
When the rogues saw that they had handed over all their rations and belongings, they let them go.
Now that the situation of Qian Kingdom, the relatives they are going to visit are probably no longer alive.
I hadn't walked a few steps when I saw people pouring out from Qianguo to look at the horses, all of them were dressed in black and black-faced, and they couldn't see clearly with a black scarf wrapped around their faces, and stopped in front of them.
When a few rogues saw them, they hurriedly packed up the belongings they left behind and returned to their own mountains, looking a little embarrassed and afraid.
Could it be that this is a gangster who is even more powerful than them? It seems that the gangsters are also divided into classes.
The leader stopped in front of them, and listened to the voice of a young man, at least not a middle-aged man, and asked them, "Who are you? What are you doing in Qianguo?"
Qin Sang rode a step forward and said, "I and my little sister are here to visit relatives in your country, I don't know who Your Excellency is?"
The leader snorted coldly, "Can't you see? We're robbers, bandits." ”
Oh, not a rogue. Jiuxi thought to himself.
There is still a difference between the two, most of the rogues have been raised in the past few years, and the Qian country has been fighting and paying taxes every year, and the people are complaining, and they are forced to make a living. And the bandits have been established for at least five to ten years, otherwise the bandits would not have run away as soon as they saw them.
It seems that I really met the big guy.
"Brother bandit, we just met the rogue, all the property and dry food have been intercepted, you are accommodating, let us go. Qin Sang continued.
The leader glanced at them and said coldly, "I'm afraid it's not a spy sent by the enemy country." Take them back. The latter sentence commanded the person next to him.
Before they could make a statement, their men pulled down their horses and threw them on their horses with their hands tied.
Jiuxi: ......
Sure enough, it's not the same type as the rogue. But isn't it good to ask for money and food?
Do you still suspect that they are spies? Do the bandits have such a high ideological consciousness? After she returns, will she hold an ideological mobilization meeting so that the bandits of the Tianyuan Dynasty can also raise their ideological consciousness?
The key is that Jiuxi also hides a burden of poison and hidden weapons, and now he has nowhere to go, if he is really regarded as a spy and wants to explain it, he can't explain it clearly.
But don't be afraid, she still has the intelligence of the young man of Qiansang by her side.
Jiuxi and Qinsang were thrown on horses all the way and carried them, and they did not return to Qianguo, but turned left and right into a somewhat desolate mountain that was a little away from Qianguo.
Are these bandits so shabby? The hill next door looks better than theirs. Jiuxi, who was about to be bumped and vomited, still had the mind to compare this.
Finally, before the delicate and expensive Jiuxi Highness was stunned, the bandits returned to their lair.
"Owner, we went out on patrol and found two unknown sources. I suspected that it was an enemy spy, so I brought it back. ”
The leader took them back to the cottage, which was really remote, and from time to time the sound of wolves howling could be heard. There are a lot of people in the village, but they are walking quietly, plus they are dressed in black and black, and the night is integrated, and if you don't look carefully, you don't know that there are people standing here.
They were taken to the stockade, and immediately several people escorted them to the owner of the village.
On the standard high-seated tiger skin chair, the owner of the village got up and looked at them condescendingly, then turned back to the chair and sat down.
"Look up and let me see. ”
Jiuxi looked up, and sitting on the tiger skin chair was a tall and straight middle-aged man, with a tough face and eyebrows like a sword, and he could see how high-spirited he was when he was young.
The owner of the village glanced at them again, and said with a smile, "It's really not a simple person. Let's leave them in the stockade first. ”
Could it be that they have been seen through? But don't really think of them as people from the Enlightening Kingdom. Jiuxi's face was a little dignified, and he slightly touched the shoulder of Qin Sang next to him.
Now what?
The two black-clothed men came to untie them and wanted to take them away, and the owner of the village explained, "Take good care of it, it just so happens that there is a temporary lack of a concubine around my kid, so it's good to leave this little girl to accompany my boy!"
Since the owner of the village ordered this, the man in black who was going to push the two of them didn't push. When they moved their wrists, they took them away again.
After Jiuxi and them went down, the owner of the village called two people, "Go and inquire if there is any movement on the side of the Tianyuan Dynasty." ”
......
The palace lady of the Tianyuan Dynasty is in the dormitory, and the maid has to wait for the ink to change her clothes and go to bed.
Suddenly, another maid came in, holding a letter in her hand, "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness was caught by a group of self-proclaimed bandits near the country of Qian, and our people were lost. ”
Ji Mowei rubbed the corners of his forehead, and said after a while, "Got it, let people wait outside, no need to go in to find someone." Let's go down. ”
The maid didn't leave, thought about it and said, "His Highness's guard, Lord Qi, wants to go to His Highness, and he is already ready to go." ”
"Let him go. Tell him that he doesn't have to go in and find someone, just wait outside with our people. ”
The maid took the order and went out. Qi Luofan packed his bags and set off immediately.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness won't be in danger, right?" asked the maid who stayed in the Jimo Sleeping Palace. She is Jimo Wei's personal maid, named Mingyue, who has been in the palace for more than ten years, and can be regarded as growing up watching Jiuxi.
"It's okay, although the place in Qianguo is a little chaotic, there are people in the town there, and it won't hurt her. ”
At the same time, he received the news and Langle who was in the Taishi Mansion.
This time, it was not the dyeing who came to revive, but the master of Qingping Lefang, the string lead.
The strings and the dyeing are bright and dark, and when Langle left, he left the two of them to watch some Jiuxi, in case this girl had a mistake when he was away, and he didn't have to play after he came back.
As the heir to the throne, the little girl is surrounded by many open guns and hidden arrows. Otherwise, he wouldn't be idle enough to teach her to practice the secret weapon and disguise the poisonous kung fu.
"Since the people sent can't keep up, there's no need to follow. Go and get your own punishment. ”
Xian said, "My subordinates obey orders. And the safety of His Highness?"
Lang Le said with a smile, "Don't you know about the departure of the princess when your majesty is in the palace? Her mother is not in a hurry, why am I in such a hurry as a master?"
Xian Yin couldn't see through what this master had in mind for His Royal Highness, and said that he didn't care, and sent someone to stare at and give gifts, saying that he cared, but now that His Highness was taken captive and his whereabouts are unknown, he doesn't care much.
However, he didn't dare to guess the mind of the lord, as long as he did his duty as a subordinate.
......
Jiuxi and Qinsang were trapped for two days, and were served with delicious food and drink in the village, and in the evening, they were led to see the owner of the village.
In the past two days, Jiuxi has also secretly inquired about the situation in this village.
There were mostly young people, men in the majority, and a few women were in charge of cleaning the meals. And the men here are all dressed in black and black-faced day and night, and they look unsightly.
The owner of the village is named Liu Qianqi, and he has only one adopted son. But he was not seen in the stockade.
The black-clothed and black-faced man brought Jiuxi and Qiansang over, and Liu Qian said with a smile, "I heard that you two are here to visit relatives in Qian Kingdom?"
"Yes, the owner of the village still has doubts about our identity?" replied Qin Sang.
"Look at the two of you, are you from Tian Yuan?"
"Yes. ”
Liu Qianqi didn't ask, as if he was pondering. Jiuxi looked up to look at him, just in time to meet his eyes.
"How old is the little girl this year?" Liu Qianqi saw the little girl look up and look at him, and asked.
"XIV. "Saying that the age is four years older, Jiuxi doesn't want to cause trouble, and has always said that he is fourteen years old.
"The owner of the village, if it is confirmed that my sister and I are not Qiming's spies, can you let us go?"
Liu Qianqi looked at him and said with a smile, "You can go, the little girl said that she would stay and be a concubine for my boy." ”
Qin Sang's five fingers were hidden behind his back and he shook his hands into a fist, looked at Jiuxi, and asked her with his eyes, do you want to do it?
Jiuxi comforted him and calmed him down.
Then he looked at Liu Qianshu, "If the owner of the village wants to keep me in the village, I will stay." But my brother still has to visit my aunt, who took care of our brother and sister for many years, and asks the owner of the village to let him go tomorrow. ”
Liu Qiancho laughed, "Okay, then say goodbye to your brothers and sisters tonight, and I'll find someone to send your brother out early tomorrow morning." ”
"Thank you, Lord of the Village. ”
The two were sent back to their accommodations.
Fortunately, there was no one in the room to watch, and when Qin Sang closed the door, he saw that Jiu Xizheng calmly poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it slowly.
"What is Your Highness's plan?"
"There are so many people here, we can't figure out their full strength, so it's not appropriate to take risks. Besides, the master of the village is not weak in martial arts, and he is not a character to mess with. Mr. Tomorrow left first to inquire about the situation of the Qian Kingdom and the news of the regent of the former Jin Kingdom. I took the opportunity to find a way to get out, and it was easier for me to slip away alone. ”
"But His Highness's safety ......"
"Sir, don't worry, I have the kung fu and secret weapons taught by my master, and I will be fine. Three months later, we will see you in Yanling. ”
The two discussed again, and after explaining, Qin Sang left Jiuxi's room. Before leaving, he took out another string of blue blood pill beads from his bosom and said, "If Your Highness is in trouble, crush one of the beads, and you will be able to feel it below." ”
At dawn on the second day, Liu Qianchu really kept his promise and sent someone to send Qiansang out. This time he was blindfolded, and another twist and turn took him out of the mountain.
