Chapter 19: But I Seek Death
Then, Chai Rong pointed to the woman who had been kneeling on the ground, with her head and face buried in her hair, and said, "Third brother, if you really want to save her, take her with you, otherwise, she won't survive tonight." ”
This sentence made it difficult for Xiao Hongtao to answer.
Xiao Hongtao thought about it and felt that he had fallen into the trap that Chai Rong dug for him: first of all, he ruined the good deeds of the soldiers, and then these soldiers were killed because of themselves, which would have a very bad impact on the soldiers, so that his prestige would be greatly reduced. What soldier would want to fight with a general who doesn't benefit him? The second point, and even more important, is that these soldiers are not their own troops, but Zhao Kuangyin's troops. He killed the soldiers of Zhao Kuangyin's army because he helped an unrelated woman get ahead, which will inevitably worsen his relationship with Zhao Kuangyin. Xiao Hongtao originally thought that adults would not care about these little things when he was young, but his experience after work made him soberly realize that many times, adults are more likely to hold grudges than children, and they will take revenge. Xiao Hongtao didn't value his relationship with Zhao Kuangyin, but he didn't want to fall into the trap that Chai Rong dug for them with Zhao Kuangyin.
At the moment, this woman is also a burden, and if she does not have this woman by her side, she will definitely be retaliated to death by other soldiers, but it is also a problem to carry this woman. That is, now this woman is no longer a folk girl in the ordinary sense, but a symbol of arousing Zhao Kuangyin's anger. Taking this woman with you is tantamount to showing Zhao Kuangyin the posture of a victor at all times. For a while, Xiao Hongtao was in a dilemma.
"Third brother, do you want to save her, if not, kill her now, if it falls into the hands of others, her fate will only be worse. Seeing that Xiao Hongtao didn't speak, Chai Rong said again.
"Save, of course save. Holy Lord, this woman will be mine in the future, and I ask my eldest brother to be a witness. "Now that we have come to this point, I have to continue to walk, Xiao Hongtao weighed, with his own strength, there should be no big problem. Xiao Hongtao asked Chai Rong to be a witness, because he wanted to kidnap Chai Rong in: You killed the person, and the black cauldron can't let me carry it alone.
"Haha, it's just a folk girl, okay, since the third brother likes it, the eldest brother will be a witness for you and give this girl to you as a slave. After speaking, Chai Rong instructed again: "Come on, send this woman to the third brother's military tent." ”
After Chai Rong's soldiers heard the order, they stepped forward and set up the woman who had been kneeling in front of the station. When the woman's head was raised, Xiao Hongtao's fragile heart was slammed hard - it was so beautiful.
This woman is only about sixteen or seventeen years old, gorgeously dressed, with naked shoulders, crisp breasts and half-naked, and extremely delicate facial features. With the support of the guards, the porcelain doll looked weak and boneless, delicate and abnormal, which further aroused Xiao Hongtao's love heart.
Chai Rong was also shocked when he saw this woman's face, obviously, he didn't expect that there would be such a stunner in this small city in Xinjiang. After the woman was helped away, Xiao Hongtao turned around and glanced at Chai Rong, and found that Chai Rong was still staring at the direction of the woman's departure, obviously, he regretted the decision just now.
"Holy Lord, let's keep walking. Xiao Hongtao couldn't see Chai Rong's behavior clearly, he was not young anymore, why was he so sexy.
"Ah, yes, yes. Keep moving. After being interrupted by Xiao Hongtao, Chai Rong felt a little embarrassed.
After this small incident, Xiao Hongtao thoroughly understood Chai Rong's character, he was a complete fox. Escorted by everyone, the chariot that Chai Rong and Xiao Hongtao rode on, the scene they saw along the way was no different, the soldiers who rushed into the city surrounded and annihilated the remaining remnants of the city, or were busy looting property, and the whole city was full of charred corpses and a strong smell of blood.
Yizhou City is not big, and after walking about two kilometers along the stone street, the chariot came to the gate of the government office in Yizhou City. Xiao Hongtao saw that there were many soldiers around the gate of the mansion, Wei Jiang and some of the cavalry led by him were also at the door, and when Xiao Hongtao and Chai Rong arrived, those soldiers were carrying the wounded soldiers out, and the scene was a little chaotic.
"The saint is here!" Chai Rong's personal soldiers saw the chaos at the scene, and the soldiers didn't notice that Chai Rong was a little unhappy when he arrived, and loudly told the soldiers present that Chai Rong was coming.
Hearing the shout, the soldiers crowded at the door hurriedly turned around, knelt down and kowtowed, and some of the wounded soldiers could not kneel down and lay directly on the ground.
"Get up," Chai Rong asked majestically, "Can anyone tell me what's wrong here, and there are still people resisting?"
Wei Jiang stood up, looked left and right, took a step forward, and reported: "Hui Shengshang, righteous father, there are still dozens of people here who are stubbornly resisting and unwilling to surrender, these dozens of people have worked hard, and we have lost more than ten brothers." ”
"Oh, dozens of people are still resisting. Chai Rong didn't care, turned to the soldiers behind him and said: "The opportunity to show your skills has come, they can't handle it, you go and complete this last step." ”
"Yes!" After the soldiers behind Chai Rong nodded in agreement, they dismounted, took their weapons, and rushed in from the door. In the end, it was Chai Rong's personal soldiers, and in a short time, the defenders in the courtyard of the government had been cleared, and the remaining few guards retreated to the inner hall.
After Chai Rong's own soldiers stormed the gate, Chai Rong looked a little anxious, and finally even stepped out of the chariot and walked into the courtyard of the government office before the battle stopped. Helplessly, Xiao Hongtao had no choice but to get out of the chariot and follow Chai Rong under the escort of Wei Jiang and others.
After entering the courtyard, Xiao Hongtao had a very strange feeling, he felt that the yin qi in the courtyard was very heavy, and the sun was shining outside, but the sun was rarely seen in the courtyard. There are also few greenery in the courtyard, and most of them are withered yellow weeds, which is said to be the feeling that the government of a city should not feel like this.
The overall shape of the palace is very different from the courtyard design of the Central Plains, in the middle of the courtyard is a rectangular building, and if you don't look carefully, you think it is a long corridor with a roof. On both sides of the rectangular building against the wall, a low house was built, and the tiles above the house were of different colors, and I don't know what the function was. In addition, there are many stone paved roads of different lengths from the rectangular buildings in the middle to the low houses on both sides.
Whether it is the Han or the Khitan, such a house is too strange, in addition to the gate can be seen to be the mansion, the building inside does not show the majesty at all, in Xiao Hongtao's eyes, the mansion in front of him is very similar to the abandoned factory in later generations. The rectangular building is the workshop, and the two low houses are the warehouse.
Chai Rong didn't seem to pay attention to the shape of this mansion at all, and only cared about the battle situation.
After a while, the leader of Chai Rong's own soldiers came back and forth, saying that there was a very strange thing, and Chai Rong must be invited to take a look.
"Oh, it's all cleaned up?" Chai Rong wondered.
"No, Holy Lord, I can't explain it clearly, just go and see. "The leader of Chai Rong's personal soldiers did not report directly, but just asked Chai Rong to go and check.
So, Xiao Hongtao and Chai Rong had to continue to walk forward, and came to the front of the rectangular house, under the guidance of the leader of the pro-soldiers, everyone climbed the steps, Xiao Hongtao only then found out what made the pro-soldier leader so difficult: in the rectangular room, sitting or lying, there were dozens of Khitan soldiers, all holding scimitars in their hands, the tip of the knife against the throat, and their eyes staring at the door.
