Chapter 245 Hostage (1)
Xu Wu took twenty people on the road day and night, because every time he went to a place, he had to inquire about the news, which was a bit of a waste of time. After half a month, they finally found Huang Biaotou and his party on the road.
Luo Shuigui looked at Xu Wu, and asked hesitantly: "Are you sent by General Yun?" He couldn't believe it without proof.
Although Yun Qing is young, he has a great reputation, and most of the people who practice martial arts respect him very much. Of course, there are also many who admire him who have not joined the martial arts.
Xu Wu nodded, and then showed Luo Shuigui the badge of the Northwest Army.
Luo Shuigui is also a martial artist, so he can tell the authenticity by looking at the token. Immediately smiled and said: "May I ask what your name is, little brother?" Unexpectedly, Yunqing was so thoughtful.
Xu Wu introduced himself, and then asked, "Is Madam in the carriage?" After speaking, his eyes fell on the largest carriage.
There are other people on the official road at this meeting, Luo Shuigui didn't tell Xu Wu that the person in the carriage was just a substitute for the sake of safety. Hearing Xu Wu's words, he just nodded.
After Xu Wu got an accurate answer, he turned to the carriage and said, "Madam, the general is worried about Madam's safety, so he sent me to pick her up."
If Yu Xi was here, she would definitely scold Xu Wu. Without him, there is no marriage, what is the name of the lady! It's a pity that Yue Hong, the woman in the carriage, didn't know. Hearing Xu Wu's address, he said with a smile: "My husband has a heart..." The next words were swallowed by Qu's mother's knife-like eyes.
When Xu Wu heard these words, his face turned dark. Xu Wu's ugly face was not because Yue Hong called Yun Qing her husband, but because the voice she spoke was charming and seductive. Although he didn't see anyone, the sound made Xu Wu very disgusted.
Naturally, Luo Shuigui saw Xu Wu's displeasure, and hurriedly said: "Guard Xu, see if it's time to go on the road." A group of people were afraid on the road, and blocked the way of others, right?
Xu Wu nodded and said, "Okay." Although Xu Wu felt uncomfortable, he didn't think too much about it. I just thought, maybe this guy was born with it. listen
Mother Qu was in the carriage with Yuehong because she was worried that Yuehong would do something bad to damage Yuxi's reputation, so she had to keep a close eye on Yuehong. After the convoy continued on the road, Mother Qu said with a cold face: " Didn’t I tell you to stop talking? Did you take my words as wind on your ears again?”
Yue Hong was a little aggrieved, and said: "If someone came to pick up your master from such a distance, if I didn't even say a word, it would be too heartless."
Mother Qu was not angry, she had never seen such a person in the palace. At the moment, he just said with a cold face: "Don't forget your identity. If you ignore my words next time, don't blame me for being rude."
Seeing this, Yue Hong didn't dare to speak anymore.
The twenty people led by Xu Wu are all veterans, and each of them has an unknown amount of blood on their hands, and their whole bodies are full of evil spirits. With such a group of half-killing people around, how dare those horse thieves and bandits run into them.
At lunch time, the group stopped to eat dry food. In April, the weather was very good, and eating dry food with cold water did not feel as uncomfortable as before.
Yue Hong took advantage of this gap and wanted to get off the carriage to get some fresh air. Mother Qu originally disagreed, but Yuehong said with a bitter face, "Mother Qu, my legs are numb, just let me go down for a walk!"
Mother Qu thought for a while, then nodded in agreement. But she didn't allow Yuehong to go far, only allowed her to stay beside the carriage.
After Yue Hong walked a few steps, she felt that someone was watching her, and when she turned around, she saw a tall and thick man in military uniform staring at her, and immediately returned with a bright smile.
When Mother Qu saw this, the veins on her forehead were about to stand up. Immediately stopped and said: "Hurry back to the carriage." To avoid embarrassment here.
Yue Hong didn't want to, but she was dragged back to the carriage by Qu's mother.
The soldier looking at the red moon is called Martin. This guy is already twenty-seven or eight years old this year. Without a wife, I have nowhere to vent my energy after a battle, so I like to go to the building. Just now he felt that Yue Hong was not walking properly, and because Yue Hong spoke coquettishly before, he doubted Yue Hong's identity. Well, looking at the winking eyes thrown by the other party, there is no need to prove it, there is 100% something wrong with this woman. Looking at the attitude of the old woman who waited beside him, he knew it well. Don't think that soldiers are big bosses, and they can live safely until now because they have their own way of survival.
Thinking of this, Martin looked for Xu Wu with a thunderbolt on his head, and said, "Master Xu, there is something wrong with this woman."
Xu Wu turned his head and asked, "What's the problem?" Not only Xu Wu, but all the other soldiers also looked over, and those who could be picked to pick up Yuxi were all trustworthy people.
Martin said his guess: "Master Xu, you also know my preferences. My eyes can't go wrong. This woman is 100% definitely not Madam's." Madam is a girl from the Duke's Mansion. Such a prodigal.
At this moment, Luo Shuigui came over. Looking at Martin's expression just now, Mother Qu knew that they were suspicious. In order not to cause misunderstanding, she asked Luo Shuigui to come over and explain to everyone.
Luo Shuigui told Xu Wu the whole story, and said: "Young lady insists on taking the path, but we can't do anything about it. Besides, the road is indeed too dangerous. It's safer for you to go with Master Yang and the others." No one knew Yun The general will send someone to pick him up! You know, she will definitely not let the girl go with Master Yang and the others.
Xu Wu looked at the five carriages behind and asked: "You mean, the horse thief robbed the lady's dowry?" It was really daring, even daring to snatch their wife's dowry. If it wasn't for the fact that the first task was to escort his wife, he would have taken people to kill Tiger Mountain right now.
Looking at Xu Wu's expression, Luo Shuigui didn't understand what he was thinking, and hurriedly said: "Guard Xu, we know that this person is a substitute, but others don't. The most urgent thing now is to send her to Yucheng, so that the girl will be safer .”
Xu Wu nodded his head and said: "Okay, let's continue on our way." Since he is not a wife, there is no need to worry too much.
It is not without some twists and turns for Yuxi and his party to take the official path. No, when they reached a corner, there were a few bandits blocking their way.
Yuxi lifted the curtain of the car and looked forward, and saw six people in front of him, each of them was holding a big knife, which looked quite scary.
At this time, one of the bandits said to them: "I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree. If you want to cross this road, leave money to buy roads."
Yuxi snorted and laughed, this jingle is well written.
Zijin has been in a bad mood these days, when she saw someone who dared to block her way, she jumped off her horse and was ready to vent her anger.
Upon seeing this, Master Yang said: "Don't beat them to death." These few are not real bandits at first glance, and they probably want to get a vote! A real bandit, who would not tell you such nonsense, just charged up and hacked people.
After listening to Master Yang's words, Zijin didn't kill them, but beat them until they lay on the ground and howled endlessly.
Yu Xi said: "Let's go!"
In the evening, the four of them stayed in an ordinary inn. Now the big box has been replaced by two small boxes, and Zijin is holding a box in each of her left and right hands, just like playing. This gave the side an illusion that there must be only light things in the box, otherwise it would not be so easy to lift. For this reason, it saved them a lot of trouble.
After Zi Jin put down her things, she said to Yu Xi, "Girl, I'll order two dishes for Xiao Er to bring up." Yu Xi didn't go downstairs to eat. It's not that Yuxi is worried about women not being able to show their faces, but that her rules and etiquette have reached the bottom of her bones. If they were eating downstairs, they would definitely be noticed.
Yuxi nodded her head and said, "Go!"
Not long after, Zi Jin came back, and Master Yang and Yu Zhi followed behind her. Seeing this, Yuxi hurriedly asked: "What's the matter? Did something happen?" The expressions of the three people were all very solemn, and it was 100% something happened.
Master Yang saw that Zijin's face was so dark that it was comparable to charcoal, he sighed and said: "The people below are talking about Yunqing's fiancée being kidnapped by a barbarian."
Yu Xi was horrified: "Why?" If it was said that she was robbed by bandits, Yu Xi still didn't feel anything. But being robbed by the North kidnappers, what kind of concept is this? Why did the Beiyao people know her identity, and why were they able to snatch her away halfway? This is 100% tipped off by someone.
Master Yang said: "Your information was not disclosed before. I think the problem should be with the bandits on Tiger Mountain."
Yuxi reacted very quickly, and said: "It's not that it should be, but it's affirmation. Lu Kai, the military adviser in Tiger Mountain, should have a sworn feud with Yunqing. He couldn't catch me by himself, so he wanted to use the hands of the Beiyao people." Otherwise, without accurate information, the Beiyao people would not take the risk of sending troops to sneak into the inner city to rob people." The Beiyao people hated Yun Qing deeply, but they couldn't do anything about Yun Qing. Hearing that she was going to Yucheng to meet Yun Qing Qing got married, so he wanted to take her as a hostage. Even if Yun Qing couldn't be injured, he would have to lose face.
After hearing this, Zijin said, "Girl, you can't go to Yucheng." Yunqing is a dangerous person, whoever gets close will be in trouble.
After hearing this, Yuxi turned to look at Master Yang, and asked, "Master Yang, do you think I should go to Yucheng?"
Master Yang smiled wryly, and said, "Girl Han, you can make up your own mind." This time she was lucky enough to escape, who knows if she will be so lucky next time. Marrying Yunqing is indeed very dangerous, if you are not careful, you will fall into a situation where there is no redemption.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Master Yang, didn't you say that I only care about myself and ignore Yunqing?" How many people in this world know that there is a fire pit ahead that may kill you at any time, and they will jump into it without hesitation? Maybe, but not her.
Master Yang didn't know that Yuxi had such a strong desire for revenge, so he refuted his own words immediately, coughed twice and said: "This is your own business, you can just make up your mind."
Yu Zhi looked at Yu Xi and asked, "Miss Han, are you really not going to Yucheng?"
Yuxi smiled and said, "Go, why not. Didn't you say that if I miss a man like Yunqing, I will regret it for the rest of my life?"
Yu Zhi was a little surprised to see Yuxi writing to Yucheng so straightforwardly. This is completely different from the previous attitude, and I couldn't help asking: "Aren't you afraid of being implicated by [UUReading Book 00ks] General Yun?"
Yu Xi raised her head and looked outside through the window, then turned her head after a while and said, "Of course I'm afraid. But, if death is worthwhile, why should you be afraid of death?"
ps: There is another update tonight. (to be continued)
