A carriage was driving on the road.
Outside the car is the gradually melting winter, but inside the car is a bit more chilly than outside.
Qin Shan leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes. In front of him, Xiao Yi and Qi Ruolan were tied with their hands behind their backs, unable to move.
The reason why Qin Shan took these two people away was that Qin Shan had not figured out how to deal with them. Just when he was thinking about which wrist to break, whether to cramp his left hand or his right hand first, the prisoner spoke first.
"Where is he?"
The speaker propped himself up on his elbows and barely looked at Qin Shan. Even if he is bound and reduced to a prisoner, Xiao Yi still wants to maintain his character, at least not so low. Compared with him, Qi Ruolan, who was pregnant with Liujia, looked bloated and embarrassed at this time. When Xiao Yi got up, her eyes lit up, but after hearing what he blurted out, the light that just lit up was quickly crushed. Qi Ruolan lowered her head, her face even paler.
At this time, Qingtian was driving the carriage, and Mingyue and Aunt Chun had already rushed to the next stronghold one step ahead. There was only Pu Cunxi in the carriage, Xiao Yi and his wife, and Qin Shan.
Seeing that Qin Shan didn't answer, Xiao Yi asked again.
Qin Shan opened his eyes, and his black eyes looked straight at the couple. He didn't answer his question, but said, "Back then in the back mountain of Wuming Valley, I made a promise to Qi Ruowang. Another day, if I can meet him and cause him to self-harm. The culprit, I will personally cut off their wrists and set aside their tendons. I will pay for it tenfold."
Qi Ruolan heard the words, her lips turned white, and she couldn't help trembling. But Xiao Yi didn't respond, just asked again persistently.
"where is he?"
Qin Shan looked at Xiao Yi and looked into this man's eyes. There was urgency, there was anger, and there was a hint of deep fear in it.
At that moment, he suddenly understood.
Qin Shan looked at Xiao Yi for a while and made a decision.
"Mingyue, stop."
The carriage stopped on the side of the road, and Qin Shan threw the man and woman out of the car.
"I'm not happy to break your hands and feet, go by yourself."
Qi Ruolan's eyes were full of overjoyed disbelief, but Xiao Yi struggled to run to the car with her hands tied.
"You haven't told me where the others are!" he screamed, and the sound of the wind crept into his throat, breaking the sound.
Qin Shan looked at him and smiled at the woman behind him who was about to be swallowed up by jealousy.
"Go find it." He whispered, in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Bi Luo Huangquan, Three Thousand Worlds. If you can find it, go and look it up."
Abandoning these words, ignoring the anger and fear in Xiao Yi's eyes, he kicked the man away, returned to the car, and let Mingyue continue the journey.
Pu Cunxi sat opposite him and watched a good show from beginning to end, but never made a sound. It wasn't until the carriage swayed forward again that he asked curiously, "You want to avenge Qi Ruowang, why don't you just kill them?"
Qin Shan just stretched out his hand gently and wiped his saber.
"Do not."
"Death is not painful enough for them," he said.
Pu Cunxi looked at the man sharpening the sword, and a chill suddenly appeared on the back of his spine.
He contacted the events of the past few days and found that after the accident in Wuminggu, so many people rushed to Jiangnan, ambitious and determined to win. In the end, the only one who got the benefit was the person in front of him, and even You Xiaoyi was planted in his hands.
Qi Ruowang suddenly appeared in the south of the Yangtze River, revealing his whereabouts. Half of the people in the rivers and lakes flocked as if they smelled meat, and they were finally served.
What if, what if this was all Qin Shan's plan
What if he just wanted to take this opportunity to catch all those who are plotting against him, and then quietly hide in order to cultivate his life
But it has only been a long time since the natural disaster in Wuminggu, and Qin Shan escaped from prison for only a few months. How did he set up this situation, and how did he make so many smart people in Jianghu follow him unknowingly
The more Pu Cunxi thought about it, the more frightened it became, and the more terrified he became. The thought of continuing to deal with this person in the future gave his head a throbbing pain.
But then, he thought of another question.
Since Qi Ruowang who appeared before has always been played by Qin Shan, where is the real Qi Ruowang
After the carriage left, Qi Ruolan slowed down on the ground for a while before standing up slowly. She hesitated to walk to Xiao Yi's side, but before she met Xiao Yi, she saw his cold eyes when he looked at her.
"Husband." Qi Ruolan tried her best to ignore the disgust in his eyes, "Here in the wilderness, the wind and cold hurt the body, Lan'er is afraid that the body will be unwell and hurt the fetus."
"Qi Ruolan."
Xiao Yi said, "When the child is born, you can go back to Qi's house."
Qi Ruolan widened her eyes in disbelief, "Husband—"
"If the fetus has an accident again, unfortunately slips the tire." Xiao Yi interrupted her, "Then the Xiao family can only divorce their wife and marry another, so as to inherit the heir."
Qi Ruolan's outstretched hand froze in the air, looking at the man's profile, the cold arc told her that there was no room for change.
Offspring, offspring! Back then, in this name, he took this man away. Do you have to lose everything for this today
Xiao Yi's selfishness, Xiao Yi's ruthlessness, did she only know about it today
When Xiao Yi married her, he only regarded her as a prop to marry and seize power, and now that his position is stable and he doesn't need to look at the Qi family's face anymore, isn't she Qi Ruolan a useless abandoned child!
Abandoning her just like abandoning her brother.
"Heh, haha." Qi Ruolan suddenly laughed bitterly, "Brother, brother! Laner finally understands you, understands your pain that day!"
Xiao Yi frowned and looked at her, only to see Qi Ruolan smiling coldly.
"Xiao Yi, you can get everything you want, use everything, and throw away everything. I want to curse you forever, never get what you want the most!"
Xiao Yi's eyelids twitched, and before she could scold her, she saw her slap her belly hard.
…
The carriage had already left the boundary of Ba Dao Tang, Qin Shan and his party changed horses again and drove all the way to the east. On the third day, finally arrived at the village.
When Qin Shan dismounted, the people in the yard heard the movement and went out to greet him.
"master!"
Seeing people, Mingyue said happily: "You are finally here."
Qingtian fastened the horse's bolt, "What's your name, sir, you don't have to fool those outsiders anymore, call it master."
"The master is the master, and the master is the master." Mingyue pouted, "Besides, the master will not mind what I call it."
Qin Shan watched the two of them fighting, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Tsk tsk, weird, weird."
Pu Cunxi followed behind, circling around.
"Where did you find such a sparsely populated village that does not communicate with the outside world, and when did you buy a courtyard?"
After going around in circles, he walked up to Qin Shan again and looked at his eyes generously.
"What's even more strange is that people in the world often say that Commander Qin is indifferent and taciturn, but I have seen you laugh three times in the past few days! It is said that everyone whose temperament has changed greatly has experienced unimaginable torture. What happened to you in Wuminggu that night?"
Qin Shan glanced at him lightly, stepped into the hospital, just when Pu Cunxi regretted that he would not answer him—
"I heard the flute."
-----------------
"I heard the flute. I thought you were playing the flute, but it wasn't."
Qin Shan walked out of the cave, and the chains under his feet were spread all over the ground.
In front of him, Qi Ruowang stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the valley in the distance, his face turned out to be a rare seriousness.
"That's the Qiang flute." Qi Ruowang said, "The Qiang flute is so sad, and the sound of this flute..."
Qin Shan took over the end of his words, "But there is a sense of excitement."
Qi Ruowang nodded solemnly, "This Qiang flute is playing a part of the army. I just saw a faint fire in the valley..." He and Qin Shan looked at each other, and both of them instantly understood.
The Western Qiang army quietly invaded the Nameless Valley, which was enough news to alarm the entire Daqi government and opposition.
"Come on."
Qi Ruowang dragged him to look into the cave and rushed, "Although the fire will not burn our back mountain for a while, but it is only a matter of time. We must find a way to escape from here."
As he rummaged through things, he muttered: "We two prisoners, with no strength to hold a chicken, are still locked in this corner. At that time, the door was blocked, not even being cut into a few pieces. Got it. Try this, and this, try both!"
Qin Shan watched him dig three feet into the ground and threw out a large push of rusted iron tools, including kitchen knives, sabers, and bamboo knives, all of which were carefully hidden by Qi Ruowang in a corner of the hole, and it was not turned out until today.
Qin Shan didn't know where this guy collected so many messy things.
"It's useless."
Qin Shandao said, "The iron chain that trapped us was made by Xuan Tie. Even when I was in full swing, it would take a lot of work to break it. Now these ordinary irons can't help it."
Qi Ruowang stared blankly at the saber in his hand that was broken by the chain, and murmured absently, "But I don't want to die yet, I don't want to die yet."
Seeing him like this, Qin Shanxin also sank a bit.
He didn't want to die either. But this is the end, is there any other way out
With all the feelings in his heart, Qin Shan suddenly turned his head and looked at the entrance of the cave.
I saw a person standing silently behind them, with his back to the moonlight, his long sword in his hand was piercingly cold.
"it's me."
The visitor spoke slowly.
