Chapter 624: Narrow Escaping

At night, it was not only surprisingly dark, but also surprisingly quiet. Except for some scattered starlight, it is almost all pitch-black.

When Han Jianye opened his eyes, he felt as if his whole body had been crushed. Looking around, I found myself in a low house. Because it was too dark, it was impossible to see what was going on in the house, but the only thing that was certain was that he was rescued. When they saw the bandits, they knew something was wrong, dropped their things and ran away. Later, when the bandits were chasing him, he fell into the jungle, and then he fell into a trap.

While in a daze, the door opened with a creak. An old man carrying a tung oil lamp walked up to Han Jianye and said, "You finally woke up." After sleeping for a day and a night, everyone thought that this man would not survive, but unexpectedly he woke up.

Looking at the old man's clothes, Han Jianye knew that he was from the Yi nationality. Han Jianye said with difficulty: "Water..." He is not only thirsty, but also hungry.

The old man put down the tung oil lamp, walked out, and brought a bowl of dark things after a while. Han Jianye almost threw up after taking the first bite. However, he also knew that the lives of the Yi people were not easy, and it was a great kindness for them to give him a bite to eat. So although the food was unpalatable, he still gritted his teeth and ate everything.

The old man watched Han Jianye eat up all the food, his eyes became less defensive.

After eating, Han Jianye felt much better, and said gratefully: "Thank you for saving my life, old man?" Although looking at the old man's thin appearance, Han Jianye didn't think he had the ability to save himself, but he had only seen him so far. such a person.

The old man shook his head and said, "You fell into my son Agnie's trap, and he brought you back after he found out." The old man didn't feel guilty, because his trap was dug in a place with few people. When Han Jianye stepped in, it could only be said that he was unlucky.

Han Jianye was surprised and delighted: "Old man, you can speak Chinese?" Very few Yi people can speak Chinese. Also because of language barriers, poor communication, resulting in frequent conflicts.

When the old man saw that Han Jianye didn't blame them, his expression became much more relaxed, and he said, "I learned it when I was young." When the old man was young, his parents sent him to the city to learn medical skills from an old doctor. With little knowledge, he also learned to speak Chinese. Also because of the presence of old people, many people in their clan can speak Chinese.

After a pause, the old man asked: "Young man, what are you doing? How did you fall into the trap?"

Han Jianye originally wanted to say that he was a merchant, but after thinking about it for a while, no one believed him when he told everyone that he was a merchant. Han Jianye said: "We were escorting a batch of goods to Yuanzhou, but we met bandits on the way. While escaping, I accidentally fell into a trap." He didn't know the details of the old man now, so he rashly revealed his identity It's a trivial matter to cause trouble, but I'm afraid that if these people hand him over to the government, his life will really be lost.

The old man said with an unchanged expression: "Are you an official?" Because of the long-term exploitation and oppression by the Han people, many Yi people died at the hands of the Han people every year, so many Yi people hated the Han people very much. The old man is a kind-hearted person, but he is only friendly to ordinary people, and he still hates officials and officers and soldiers.

Seeing this, Han Jianye quickly shook his head and said, "No. After learning some legs and feet from the master, he found a job in a large family. This time, he also helped our master send a batch of things to Yuanzhou." I don't know the situation very well, but I also know that the Yi people have very deep conflicts with the government.

The old man said with an unchanged expression: "How could an ordinary guard have so many scars? If I guessed correctly, you should be a member of the army, and you have been in the army for a long time, and your grade is not low?" Han Jianye The calluses on the tiger's mouth are at least twenty years old, plus more than a dozen scars on the body,

How could it be a small guard. However, because his son had been inquiring outside for the past two days, he hadn't heard that there were soldiers passing by their area in the past few days, so although the old man had doubts, he still tried his best to treat Han Jianye. Otherwise, Han Jianye would still be alive.

Han Jianye thought for a while, then smiled wryly and said, "My old man has sharp eyesight. I entered the military camp at the age of sixteen, and I have been serving in the Dingbei Army in Yucheng for more than ten years. Over the years, I have fought big and small battles with the North captives. I played thirty or forty games." As for his rank in the army, Han Jianye didn't say anything. Sometimes, more is said than wrong, so it is better to say less.

The old man stared at Han Jianye and asked, "So these injuries on your body were all caused by fighting the Beiyao people?" Seeing Han Jianye nodding, the old man's expression softened a lot: "Since you are a member of the Northwest Army, Will King Pingxi lead his troops into Shu?" What the Yi people hate most is fighting, and every time they fight, many people will die. But in order to survive, they had to take up arms and fight.

Han Jianye didn't lie, nodded and said, "Yes. But don't worry, old man, the Northwest Army has strict military discipline and never kills innocent people, let alone disturb the people." Of course, the premise is that you don't resist. If you resist, you will definitely not show mercy.

The old man said blankly: "Do not disturb the people? Can this be guaranteed?" Those officials and officers and soldiers are all cannibals. The old man didn't believe what Han Jianye said.

Seeing this, Han Jianye hurriedly said: "Old man, King Pingxi has issued a military order that anyone who dares to rob the people by force will be punished without mercy. If he disturbs the people, he will be held accountable to the twenty army sticks..." Because he was more excited when he said this, the wound hurt so much Han Jianye's face was twisted into a ball.

The old man looked much better than before: "Take a good rest, if you have anything to say, wait until your injury is healed." After saying this, the old man left the room.

Han Jianye looked at the roof and said to himself, "I don't know what happened to Yi [UUReading Book 00kxs]?" At that time, for safety reasons, he and Han Yi were both wearing ordinary clothes. So when fleeing, they were not the main focus of the bandits. Otherwise, there will be no escape.

Xu Wu entered the room with Yun Qing's handwritten letter. As soon as you walk into the study, your eyes can't help but fall on the flowers on the yellow rosewood flower stand next to it. I saw that the petals of this pot of chrysanthemums were slender and slender, white and yellow, with red stamens in the yellow, and exuded an attractive aroma.

Yu Xi looked up and saw Xu Wu looking at the potted flower, and said with a smile: "This is called white horse chasing the wind." This kind of chrysanthemum is difficult to cultivate. The Wu family only cultivated two pots. One pot was kept as a seed for myself, and the other pot was given to Yu Xi.

Xu Wu couldn't help but said: "White horse chasing the wind? It's really worthy of the name." The left side of the flower is snow-white, like a white horse, and the right side is golden and yellow like a colorful phoenix. One white, one yellow, one left and one right, very beautiful. special. If his wife saw such a beautiful flower, she would definitely like it very much.

Ling's family does housework and takes care of the children on weekdays, and tends flowers and plants at other times. Xu Wu also has a lot of knowledge about flowers and plants.

Yu Xi smiled, looked at the letter in Xu Wu's hand, and asked, "Whose letter is this?" If it was a confidential matter, those people who were close to Xu Wu would write private letters to him. Others, of course, are written in secret.

Xu Wu handed the letter to Yu Xi, and said: "This is the prince's personal letter, which was delivered two days ago." The Hubei side is relatively closer to Hao City.

After Yuxi finished reading it, she handed the letter to Xu Wu and said, "What do you think of the strategy of the prince's army dividing into two groups?" , is still far behind.

Xu Wu nodded and said: "It will get twice the result with half the effort. Besides, Guan Tai has been making preparations for the past two years. Now that the prince has ordered the attack on Shu, the surrounding states should be captured soon."

Yuxi spread out the map, looked at it carefully and said, "Zhou Jinpeng is not that easy to deal with." Zhou Jinpeng's subordinates, in addition to Lu Gang, also have generals such as Luo Kaijiang and Zhou Dong. These generals are also experienced in many battles. , is not easy to deal with.

Xu Wu said: "Don't worry about this princess. I just got the news that the black widow has obtained the military map in Luo Kaijiang's hands. Both maps have been sent to the prince. With these two maps, the Then we shall win the war with the least number of troops."

Yuxi said: "This picture may not be true." After a pause, Yuxi said again: "Even if this picture is real, it is better to have no picture than to believe in the picture."

Xu Wu said: "The black widow has never made any mistakes in these years. This map should have been verified before it was sent to the prince. Besides, the prince has always been cautious. This time he led the army to attack Shu. If there are fake princes on the map I won't be fooled either." Xu Wu is full of confidence in Yunqing.

Yuxi couldn't understand Yunqing's temperament very well. Yu Xi hummed and asked: "Is there any news about my second brother?" It has been several days, and there is no news at all.

Xu Wu shook his head and said, "No. Princess, don't worry, no news is good news." If the body is found, it would be the worst news.

Yuxi sighed and said: "Second brother will send a letter to mother every month. It's been almost a month, and I don't know how to hide it from her." Know if you can resist.

There was nothing Xu Wu could do about it.

Unexpectedly, the Han family received a letter from Han Jianye's family that night. After reading the letter, Qiu finally felt relieved.

At the same time, Yu Xi also received a letter from Lu Xiu. Lu Xiu said in the letter that Han Jianye had already written six family letters before leaving because he didn't want Qiu to know that he was going to such a dangerous place in Shu.

After reading the letter, Yu Xi smiled. With Han Jianye's careless personality, how could he be so thoughtful. This matter is most likely Lu Xiu's idea. But that's good too, at least I don't have to worry that Qiu Shi will get angry about this matter.
