Chapter 681 You Are Really Assassins
Two days later, Yuyang County.
The pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, and there were farmers working in the fields on both sides of the road, but most of them were sad.
There has been some unrest in various parts of North County recently. Huns and barbarians appeared earlier than in previous years.
And there are rumors that there are already people in Liaodong County
But now it's spring, the snow has melted, but the ground can't delay.
They can't walk, but they can't do things with peace of mind. How can they not be in a hurry?
Suddenly, the ground began to shake slightly, and the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground could be heard from far to near.
The people in the North were still extremely sensitive to this situation. Their expressions changed slightly and they looked towards the source of the sound.
Just one glance and I immediately relaxed.
They are the cavalry of Great Qin!
However, passers-by still gave way to the road very consciously.
As the army advances, everyone must get out of the way.
Soon, a company of hundreds of cavalry galloped past everyone, causing a puff of smoke and dust to rise on the ground.
After the cavalry passed by, the people around them couldn't help but say,
"My Great Qin's cavalry are so mighty!"
"That's right, huh, it's just that those dogs don't dare to fight us head-on, otherwise they would have been destroyed long ago!"
"Who says it's not the case, but there's no need to worry this time. His Royal Highness has come to the front line in person, and he will definitely defeat these people this time!"
"That's true, but His Royal Highness is still young after all."
"What's wrong with being young? Wasn't it His Highness the Crown Prince who put down the rebellion in the south? Besides, it depends on His Highness the Crown Prince's methods. He used the reputation of King Zhao before."
"Also, have you forgotten how His Highness the Prince conquered those slaves before this winter? Hehe, several landowners have lost their families."
When this matter was mentioned, everyone nodded in unison, talked for a while and then dispersed.
It's getting late now, and they have to go home.
At this time, hundreds of cavalrymen who had just passed by also slowed down. One cavalryman ran directly to the middle of the team and said loudly to an extremely handsome knight,
"Brother Lang, find a place to rest. It's getting late."
The extremely handsome knight is naturally Zhao Lang.
After looking at the sky, Zhao Lang nodded and said,
"Okay, let's find an open space and prepare to camp. We will set off early tomorrow morning. In a day or so, we can reach Liaodong."
Soon, the cavalry began to prepare for camping in an extremely orderly manner.
They are Meng Tian's personal soldiers, the most elite and the most loyal.
When night fell, the camp had been set up and a bonfire was lit in the middle. Zhao Lang was roasting dried meat and potatoes.
When marching and fighting, these are naturally easy to carry.
It’s just that Hu Hai on the side can’t help but complain.
"Brother Lang, this is very close to the county seat. Why don't you go to the county seat?"
"We can also have a good meal, take a hot bath, and have a comfortable sleep."
Zhao Lang didn't even look at Hu Hai and said calmly,
"Afraid of hardship, why did you come with me? Wouldn't it be better to stay in the military camp? Aren't you still pestering Zhao Mi'er?"
Hu Hai curled his lips and replied with a bit of anger,
"Ying Yinman is to blame for this! She dragged Mi'er along the way and asked her to learn medical skills. After the battle a few days ago, Ying Yinman rescued people and even dragged Mi'er along."
"In the end, Mi'er was so busy that she didn't even have time to pay attention to me. She even said that she must bring these things back to Baiyue Land."
"I went to find her, but Mi'er fooled me again with her previous words, asking me to become a great hero."
Hearing this, Zhao Lang couldn't help but smile and shake his head, saying,
"You're a loser."
He just said that licking a dog will not end well.
Hu Hai came over with a shy face and said,
"Brother Lang, please teach me. I heard from Da Mao and the others that you have another one in Liaodong County. Hey, hey, she's a princess from Goguryeo!"
"You still..."
Hearing this, Zhao Lang's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but glance at Ji Wushuang, who had followed him this time. His peach blossom eyes were already slightly cold!
So he directly stuffed the food in his hand into Hu Hai's mouth,
"Eat when you're hungry!"
Hu Hai was stuffed in his mouth and almost choked. He muttered,
"Brother Lang, I'm not hungry..."
Looking at Zhao Lang's eyes as cold as cold light, and then looking at Ji Wushuang whose face was as cold as frost, Hu Hai said decisively,
"Brother Lang, I'm tired! I'm going to rest first."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
Liu Ji Wushuang and Zhao Lang were by the campfire.
Suddenly, Zhao Lang felt that even the air between the two was silent for a while, but this matter was still his fault, and he still had to bear the blame.
There was no way to avoid it, so he gritted his teeth and spoke proactively,
"Well, Wushuang, you actually know this."
"Do you still remember the little girl you rescued back then?"
Without being too evasive, Zhao Lang explained the whole story clearly. Of course, there was no need to go into details. Finally, he said,
"If you want to blame me, blame me for falling into the other party's trap."
After hearing this, Ji Wushuang frowned slightly.
Of course she remembered Xiaoyu, but she didn't expect that there was such a reason in the middle, so she couldn't cause trouble.
If Zhao Lang hadn't wanted to save her, he wouldn't have wasted his time.
And it was the aphrodisiac that was to blame.
But if I want to accept it like this, I feel a little knotty in my heart, so I can only reply,
"I see."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lang quickly smiled and said,
"Here, these potatoes are already roasted. You eat them first."
When Ji Wushuang took the potato, Zhao Lang breathed a sigh of relief and was about to please him again. Suddenly, a warning sound came from outside the camp!
There is an assassin!
Almost instantly, a group of cavalrymen were already holding sharp blades and looking serious. The three layers inside and the three layers outside protected Zhao Lang in the middle.
Ji Wushuang also took out his sword.
Zhao Lang's Sha Po Lang was sent to him long ago.
Hu Hai was also quickly thrown in by his guards. He stood up and patted his butt. Hu Hai said with a bit of anger,
"Who is it! Isn't this looking for death?"
With Ji Wushuang and Zhao Lang here, and so many elite cavalry from Great Qin, Hu Hai was not worried at all.
Without thousands of people, it is impossible to defeat them!
Zhao Lang was not too nervous.
Not long after, the cavalry leader in charge of the outer guard came over and reported with a bit of shame and anger,
"It's too disturbing... chief. The person who came has been caught."
Outside, Zhao Lang's identity was still kept secret.
The cavalry leader then said,
"I asked. I was attracted by the smell of the food."
After saying that, he dragged two small figures over from the side. Zhao Lang took a closer look and found that they were two children, a boy and a girl.
The girl was older, and her eyes were guarded and protective of the boy.
Although the boy is young, his expression is extremely stubborn.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding cavalry immediately dispersed one by one.
What threat could these two children pose?
Zhao Lang did not blame the other party, but said,
"It's okay, you have to eat when you're hungry. This is normal."
"Let them come."
Upon hearing this, the cavalry leader showed a hint of embarrassment and said,
"Chief, this boy has a dagger in his hand, and he won't let go until he dies."
Zhao Lang said calmly,
"It doesn't matter, let him come over."
Two children living outside must be very wary.
The cavalry leader then let go of the two men and left.
Ji Wushuang looked at the two little people in front of them who were timid in the cold night wind, and took off the cloaks on their bodies, and then put them on them.
The two were arranged in front of the campfire, and then water and food were prepared.
Only then did the two little people settle down.
Zhao Lang didn't ask any more questions. In this world, anything could happen.
It was fate that these two people met him. After they recovered, they would naturally say what they should say, if it didn't work out, just take them back to their own village.
Anyway, this is not the first time he has picked up a child.
On the other hand, Ji Wushuang exuded bursts of maternal nature, which fascinated him.
Calculating age, Ji Wushuang is almost twenty.
You can consider it after the war is over.
After so many visits before, Ji Wushuang didn't get pregnant. Of course, it wasn't because he couldn't do it, but because he had some control.
This is Da Qin, and getting pregnant at a young age can cause serious problems!
Hu Hai on the side just muttered,
"Hey, you two kids, what are your names, and why are you still wandering outside in the middle of the night?"
"I'm not afraid of freezing to death."
When the two little people heard the question, they subconsciously leaned towards Ji Wushuang, biting food in their mouths, but still did not speak.
Hu Hai also wanted to tease the two of them, but Ji Wushuang glared at him and stopped talking angrily.
"Alang, these two little guys are quite pitiful. Let's take them back together tomorrow."
Ji Wushuang said with some pity.
Zhao Lang shook his head and said,
"We are on our way. How can their bodies withstand the bumps? Tomorrow we will have them handed over to the county magistrate here and they will be sent to Liaodong later."
"And let's see if there are any other children and send them all together."
Zhao Lang actually wants to engage in welfare undertakings that benefit the entire Daqin, but the road has to be taken step by step, and he can only do so much now.
Hearing this, Ji Wushuang suddenly smiled. This was the reason why she chose to hand over the farmhouse to Zhao Lang.
There is true kindness in Zhao Lang's heart.
Although the two children still didn't speak at this time, their eyes became much softer.
Hu Hai on the side joked at this time,
"You guys are in luck. Hehe, do you know who we are?"
"I am..."
Before Hu Hai finished speaking, Zhao Lang glared back, showed a smile, and said lightly.
"Eat well and get some sleep. Someone will arrange it for you tomorrow."
The gentle expression and tone, coupled with the handsome appearance, made the two children confused for a moment, and they could only nod stupidly.
Hu Hai felt jealous when he saw it, and thought sourly that good-looking people are just different.
After the two of them finished eating, Ji Wushuang quickly said,
"I'll take them to rest first. When you come back, go to the tent next to them."
After saying that, he stood up and left. At this time, Hu Hai followed him and left Zhao Lang's surroundings.
He showed a mischievous smile and said in the ears of the two children,
"Hehe, I am the prince of Great Qin, and the one just now is the prince of Great Qin!"
In an instant, the two children froze in place with disbelief on their faces.
Seeing this scene, Hu Haicai looked like he had succeeded and left with satisfaction.
Ji Wushuang shook his head helplessly, and then led the two of them into the camp.
But he didn't notice that in the night, the boy's face was already flushed, and he was holding the dagger tightly in his hand, but he was held down by the girl.
Ji Wushuang arranged a separate corner for the two of them.
Soon, there was only silence in the night.
Wait until late at night.
Ji Wushuang's tent suddenly started to stir slightly, and not long after, a small figure walked out with a face full of hatred.
The little figure looked around the camp. Although there were many people patrolling, no one looked inside.
The little figure thought about what Ji Wushuang had said before, and walked directly to the side.
Just when he walked to the nearby tent, a man came out and grabbed the little figure.
The little figure lowered his voice at this time and said,
"Sister, let me go! I must avenge my father today!"
Another person also whispered back,
"We can't fight him! My father and mother are already dead, do you want them to die in peace!?"
The attitude of the small figure is extremely firm,
"If I don't take action today, I will definitely have no chance in the future!"
"Sister, let go, I..."
Before the two of them finished speaking, the tent in front of them was suddenly opened.
Zhao Lang appeared in front of the two people with his slave.
The two children looked at Zhao Lang and were stunned.
Zhao Lang looked at the two people in front of him and the dagger in the little boy's hand, and said thoughtfully,
"You are really assassins."
The next moment, before the two of them could react, the slave stretched out his hand and brought the two of them in with a frosty face.
When he arrived at the camp, Zhao Lang asked calmly,
"Tell me, who asked you to come?"
With the skills of the two of them just now, it would be amazing if they could assassinate him.
The little boy looked at Zhao Lang angrily and said,
"tyrant!"
Zhao Lang was stunned for a moment. He had never thought that this title would appear on his head.
The slave showed a trace of anger. He would not allow anyone to accuse his master, even if it was a child, he would not mind doing anything.
However, Zhao Lang on the side waved his hand to stop him. Zhao Lang frowned slightly and said,
"Oh, why am I a tyrant?"
He was worried that someone below was using the name of the Qin government to oppress the people, which caused this incident.
The little boy stared at this time and said,
"You are the prince! The order you issued earlier allows all slaves to join the army! My family finally bought a slave to work."
"Why should he be allowed to join the army! The little money the government compensates is simply not enough!"
"My father just hid this slave. After the government discovered it, he resisted for a while, and then he was sent to build the Great Wall."
"He ended up dying there!"
"Let me ask you! What are you if you are not a tyrant!"
After hearing this and looking at the hateful little boy, Zhao Lang was speechless.
