Chapter 3: The Wheel of Fortune

When Sister Qi saw the unscrupulous brocade guards, and saw the coldness in the eyes of Deputy Qianhu, her heart beat violently, and she couldn't help but hold the baby in her arms a little tighter.

"Give me the child. ”

Deputy Qianhu said word by word, as if full of resentment, Sister Qi didn't dare to imagine what kind of fate the child would have in his hands, and subconsciously took two steps back.

She stepped on the air, her body staggered and was about to fall, if she really fell, the baby would also be affected, not to mention falling to death, a little injury is normal for such a delicate baby.

At that critical moment, Deputy Qianhu's dark iron chain shot out like lightning, wrapped around Sister Qi's waist, and stabilized her figure.

Sister Qi was in a cold sweat on her forehead, out of the natural fear of these martial arts and murderous Jinyiwei, she was full of regret in her heart, she really shouldn't have come here today, if she had three long and two short, how could the two dolls in the family survive?

"Give me the child, and I will keep your whole body. ”

Deputy Qianhu stared at Sister Qi, Sister Qi's back was cold, the thoughts in her mind flashed quickly, and the ** of survival made her instinctively pinch the baby's neck.

"Don't act rashly, or it will be easy for me to break a baby's neck. ”

"You can try it, my Hidden Arrow is guaranteed to shoot through your Celestial Cover in the blink of an eye. ”

Deputy Qianhu said, his left hand had been raised by himself, and a well-made black iron quiver could be vaguely seen in the wide sleeves, inlaid on his left arm, as if it had been fused with flesh and blood!

Sister Qi shed tears of fear, knelt down on the snow with a "plop", and begged for mercy in the mournful tone of her dead father: "Ladies and gentlemen, please raise your noble hand and let go of the poor woman, I still have two three-year-old children at home, and they can only starve to death as soon as I die." ”

What she said was the truth, coupled with the fear of the ruthless Jinyiwei in front of her, which made her words seem tragic and heartbroken.

When Thirteen saw this scene, Rao was he who had killed countless people, and he couldn't help but feel compassion, and said to Deputy Qianhu: "Big brother......"

"Shut up. ”

Deputy Qianhu scolded in a cold tone, and then turned his head to look at Lao Jiu, in comparison, Lao Jiu was more calm and knew how to weigh the pros and cons.

Lao Jiu naturally understands that the boss's words are out of intimidation, no matter how clever his sleeve arrow is, he is not 100% sure that he will kill the woman before she hurts the baby, you must know that he has experienced countless tests of life and death, and his understanding of life and death has already reached the strange realm of Tongxuan.

If not, how would he have survived to this day?

When facing the enemy, intimidation is sometimes more effective than the sword, and it is natural to be invincible when it is to deter the opponent in momentum. The martial arts master understands, but how can the peasant woman in front of her understand these truths?

"Spare her life, it might be useful. Lao Jiu said.

Deputy Qianhu looked at him with some relief, and at the same time he was a little guilty, it turned out that not only did he have this thought, but Lao Jiu, who usually seemed to be pure and good, was also quite scheming at critical moments.

"Take us to your house. ”

Seeing the peasant woman kneeling on the snow and crying loudly, Deputy Qianhu said lightly, when the peasant woman heard this, she felt that the five thunders hit the top, did she want to spare her life, or did she plan to go to my house to cut the grass and eradicate the roots?

Some were reluctant to lure the wolf into the room, and the peasant women looked at each other stupidly, but never stood up. Deputy Qianhu didn't seem to have much patience, and said at the moment: "What, you don't want to, do you still have a choice?"

Sister Qi, a peasant woman, had to stand up, looked at the Jinyiwei who decided the fate of her family of three with great trepidation, and then took a step towards a small road.

"Thirteen stayed to deal with the aftermath, cut off their heads and return to Beijing to restore their lives, and then," Deputy Qianhu paused in his tone, but never looked back at the two corpses that still had residual warmth, and said: "Good life and burial, after all, brothers." ”

After finishing speaking, he took Lao Jiu on the horse and followed Sister Qi to the village, and her figure gradually disappeared into the vast snow.

Thirteen knelt down beside the two corpses, kowtowed three times, and said in a deep voice: "Third brother, sister-in-law, Thirteen admires you, and admires it from the bottom of my heart, after all, there are only a handful of people in this world who dare to oppose the emperor." ”

Then he laughed bitterly at himself: "Is it the emperor's intention, or is it Liu Jin's power, or other people's conspiracy?" It's really hard to guess, why am I not as smart as you, third brother, and I'm still confused." ”

"But I can't let you die in vain, the thirteen swore to the sky to find out, and swore to kill the traitor Liu Jin, if you violate this word, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. ”

Then, with his simple mind, he no longer hesitated, and cut off two heads that made him fearful, and put them in a wooden box on horseback. He wiped tears from his eyes, cut a hole with his knife, filled it with gunpowder, and repeated this several times, and a large crater was blown out in the snow.

He carefully carried the two headless bodies into the pit, then quickly filled in the earth, and after a long time finally erected a grave. Thirteen couldn't cut down a big tree with one sword, he repeated the knife several times, and the big tree fell down in response.

Split the trunk of the tree and made a crude tombstone, he didn't read much, and he didn't know how to make a tombstone, so he had to engrave "The Tomb of Feng Qinggang and His Wife", because he never knew the real name of the so-called "sister-in-law", and in the palace, she had a noble title: "Concubine Zhuang".

After all this, the night has completely covered the world, and the first moonlight is also obscured by the clouds, but fortunately, the snow can reflect some light, but it is not that you can't reach out and lose your fingers.

He mounted a horse, took two heads, lit a torch, and followed the secret notes left by Lao Jiu along the way, and walked towards the village.

The two brocade guards who came to the dilapidated thatched hut sat down at the table unceremoniously, and the deputy Qianhu did not open his mouth for the sake of face, and Lao Jiu only said very interestingly: "If you have anything to eat, take some and share it with us." ”

From morning to night, he ran for hundreds of miles, and he was already hungry, but at this moment, after everything was settled, he put down his guard, and the instinctive hunger of his body became more and more prominent.

"There is not a single rice left at home, but there are three pumpkins and some wild vegetables, or I will cook them for you to eat." ”

At that time, high-yield crops such as corn and sweet potatoes had not yet been introduced to the land of China, and the time for the real introduction would have to wait for another seventy or eighty years, so people at the bottom of the society had to struggle for a long time in hunger and cold.

Deputy Qianhu nodded, and Lao Jiu said, "Go quickly." ”

When Sister Qi heard this, she planned to act immediately, but what should she do with the baby in her arms, he had just stopped crying, and what should he feed him?

Seeing her concerns, Lao Jiu stretched out his hand and said, "Leave the child to me, you can go and get busy." ”

Sister Qi hesitated a little, but handed over the baby to this kinder brocade guard, then pushed open the broken door woven by reeds and walked into the narrow kitchen.

At this moment, the two children, who had been asleep, woke up in shock, and looked at the two resolute-faced men by the dim oil light, and couldn't help but cry in fright.

And the baby Feng Mu, his own consciousness is so weak, he doesn't want his consciousness to be completely devoured by the baby, fighting hard in the baby's mind, the baby may not be able to stand the stinging, and he also cried.

Feng Mu relied on the brocade guard embroidered with a spring knife in the flying fish suit to judge that he had probably traveled to the Ming Dynasty, but the specific period was not clear. He intended to grow with the baby.

The premise is that his consciousness cannot be swallowed up, and this is his only chance to stay in this world.

And no matter how difficult it is, you have to survive, because the era that belongs to him is beckoning to him, and the regrets of the previous life will be made up in this life, the glory of the Ming Empire, sworn to defend to the death, and the people in dire straits, desperately to save.

Now that fate has chosen him, he will give this world a new future.

Sister Qi hurriedly ran out of the kitchen, coaxed the two children, and whispered in her ear that if you don't cry, you can eat something more, and the two long-starved children heard this, and really stopped crying.

Sister Qi took the baby again and coaxed it carefully, Feng Mu wanted to stop crying, but now her consciousness is as fragile as the baby's life, so Sister Qi coaxed for a long time, and when she was tired of crying, she quieted down.

In this process, Lao Jiu saw that Sister Qi couldn't spare her hand, so she consciously walked into the kitchen, cut the three pumpkins into several pieces with a few brushes, and then threw them into the pot, added water and boiled them.

In order to arrest criminals, he has slept in the wilderness many times, and he can handle the game by making a fire, and now it is not a problem to cook a few pumpkins. When it was cooked, it was served in a large clay pot, because it really didn't look down on the broken bowls full of chips.

The two brocade guards ate with relish, and the two children were not afraid at all when they saw the food, and they climbed down from the bed to eat, and Sister Qi looked at all this, for fear that the two officials would kill the children if one of them was unhappy, so she immediately ran over to stop them.

"Such a young child, hungry like a monkey, let them eat some too. ”

Hearing Lao Jiu's words, Sister Qi happily turned her head to look at Deputy Qianhu, and saw that he acquiesced, so she hurriedly put the baby in the quilt, went to get two broken bowls, and filled a bowl for each of the two children.

Sister Qi should have been satisfied, but her stomach screamed, she hurriedly ran to hug the baby, trying to cover up the past, but heard Lao Jiu say: "Eat some, the baby has not entered a drop of water since birth, and it is not a way to go on like this." ”

A large jar of pumpkin was eaten by a few hungry people, Sister Qi's house only had some wild vegetables left, and there was nothing else to eat, and the baby Feng Mu also drank a little pumpkin soup, but he still felt hungry, and it was only right to drink breast milk, and he would definitely die if he continued like this.

It didn't take long for Thirteen to arrive, and to his surprise, he was carrying a goat in his hand.

Several hours had passed since the goat had been boiled over the fire, and the few people who had eaten and drunk were a little silent.

Deputy Qianhu finally spoke: "We must return to Beijing immediately to resume our lives, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, we will leave now." ”

The other two nodded, and then looked at the baby in Sister Qi's arms. Deputy Qianhu continued: "Don't look at it, he won't be separated from us, because everyone here is going to the capital. ”

Sister Qi was surprised, her fate was decided like this, but the capital has always been the place she wants to go, she wants to find the negative person, dig out his heart to see if it is black!

Let Thirteen find a carriage, so the eldest sister Qi and the three children sat in, and under the drive of the third brother Jinyiwei, they rushed all the way to the capital.

Feng Mu's fate was tied to the wheel of rushing to the capital, and it seemed that a larger wheel of history was carrying him forward in the dark.

And once the wheel of fate begins to turn, it will not stop, Feng Mu doesn't know what kind of ups and downs will await him, but once he participates, he is ready to regret it.

The wind is strong, the snow is sudden, and the moon is like a hook!
