"In the area in the northwest, I was nicknamed Blood Rakshasa, the leader of Yao Province called... Qi or something, and sent someone to build a stone statue of me, and built it at the gate of the city. Everyone who entered the city spat at me, otherwise they were not allowed to enter the city. I fled these days, and in addition to the government's pursuers, I had to carefully avoid those civilians. After escaping from Zhenhuang, I was injured once , I was rescued by an old couple. They are over 80 years old. A very kind and kind old couple treated my wounds and killed the only old hen in the house to make tonic soup for me. If they don't ask me about my background, they may think that I have been robbed by robbers, and they always encourage me to report to the police.
"But the next day, the old man went to the town to buy medicine for me. When he came back, his complexion changed drastically. I didn't know what happened at the time. That night, they secretly rushed into my room with a sickle, and the two of them went crazy I know that their son was conscripted by Emperor Xia many years ago and joined General Meng’s army to crusade against Yanbei, and later died on the Yanbei Plateau.” Chu Qiao’s face was cold and cold Laughing, "Then I killed them, they were too excited, I couldn't get rid of them at all, so I killed them."
"Fake benevolence and hypocrisy," the cold voice suddenly sounded, Zhuge Yue was still sitting there, and said sarcastically, "With your skill, it's easy to control two elderly people. You need to find such a disgusting excuse for yourself."
"I'm not making excuses," Chu Qiao was not angry, but just retorted quietly, "I was seriously injured at the time, an arrow shot through my thigh, and I couldn't move at all. I had only two choices at the time, killing them, or let them kill me."
Zhuge Yue chuckled disapprovingly, "Xing'er, what's the difference between you and me?"
"Yes, I thought so too at the beginning." Chu Qiao said in a deep voice, "But later, I didn't think so. When General Meng went to Yanbei to start a war, it was an invasion, a massacre, and it was unreasonable Trampling, their sons enlisted in the army to invade other people's hometowns, shouldn't others be allowed to resist and fight back? In the first battle, Yanbei suffered countless casualties, whether it was civilians or Yanbei's army, all forces were brutally slaughtered, Yanbei The loss is far greater than that of Daxia. And I did not feel sorry for them. I recuperated with them and paid them, but they wanted to harm me, just because of those hatreds that did not belong to me. Could it be that Am I going to sit and wait to die? I kill, but not indiscriminately. I sympathize with civilians, but I am not a saint."
Chu Qiao's voice gradually became firmer, and she said word by word: "The battle between Yanbei and Daxia is imperative, and it will be protracted. However, all the people who fell in this war will not be They are worthless. They are fighting for justice and freedom. Sooner or later, a new country will rise on the land of Hongchuan. In this country, there will be freedom and equality, the rule of law and peace, and it will never be the same as before. There is no humanity at all. For this day, everything I have done is worth it."
Zhuge Yue suddenly sneered and said, "Xing'er, thanks to the fact that I have always looked up to you, I didn't expect you to say such ridiculous things. Freedom and equality? Law and tranquility? Why, have you become a believer in Datong? You Have you also started to have those illusory dreams of Datong?"
"No, I haven't. I'm sober. I know that as long as there are interests in this world, there will never be true equality. However, we can make everything better and take a step forward slowly." Chu Qiao Looking at Zhuge Yue, he said in a deep voice, "At the very least, there will be no more of what happened in Zhuge's Mansion back then, killing, abusing, and treating people like dogs!"
"Do you really think Yan Xun can do this?" Zhuge Yue slightly raised his eyebrows, and smiled disdainfully, "Or do you think those old fellows of the Grand Peer Association will really be as selfless as they shout slogans? Have you ever tasted it? People with a taste for power will not easily let go of what they have already obtained. Even if one day, Yan Xun overthrows Daxia and becomes emperor, it will be just a change of dynasty, and it will definitely not be the end of an era. Xing'er, if you I can’t accept the fact that Yan Xun’s ambition is to fight for hegemony, so it’s better to say that he’s out for revenge, which sounds nicer, don’t put such a big and high-sounding hat on his head, it’s disgusting.”
Chu Qiao's complexion changed slightly, and after a long time, she still said firmly, "I trust him."
Zhuge Yue frowned, and looked at her fixedly.
"I believe he won't let me down." Chu Qiao smiled lightly, "I will be by his side, helping him, and watching him complete this great cause single-handedly. Zhuge Yue, just watch."
At that moment, it seemed that a light was lit in the darkness, shining into the darkness so dazzlingly. Zhuge Yue suddenly felt that the woman in front of him was actually very fragile and stupid, but he didn't want to laugh at her stubbornness anymore.
He just wanted to ask: "If one day, he really let you down, what should you do?"
But he didn't say it, he thought it was cruel, yes, cruel.
This girl is not yet seventeen years old, what are the younger sisters in her family doing now? What are those daughters in Zhenhuang City doing now? Put on makeup, play and enjoy the flowers, talk about young talents from various families, or, on a luxurious big bed with someone behind your back, go to Wushan together with a man who can't see the light...
And she, for so many years of blood and rain, is nothing more than such a belief, no power, no power, no relatives and no reason, this may be her hope of living!
Alright, Xing'er, I'll just watch, I'll just watch to see if that man can get what you want in the end. If there is such a day, I, Zhuge Yue, would like to spend all my wealth and set off millions of fireworks and fireworks to celebrate your wish coming true!
"Yanbei," Zhuge Yue raised his head and drank a glass of strong wine. The spicy wine rolled down his throat and hurt like a knife. The man said flatly, "I'm looking at you." The next morning, although Zhuge Yue Going out early enough, in spite of all the gold he scattered with his riches, he searched the city without buying a horse or hiring a cart. The entire horse market, even the horses of the horse dealers, were looted that night. In a fit of anger, Zhuge Yue tried to buy some other means of transportation, such as donkeys, mules, and even cows, which he condescended to inquire about.
But the result is the same.
At the same time, Chu Qiao was sitting in the upper room on the second floor of the inn, watching the men and horses of the escort agency walking back and forth, she frowned slightly, sensing something was wrong.
When Zhuge Yue came back, the two looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.
When the team left the city, it was far from the four or five hundred people before. The people in front had already left the city, and the people behind had not mounted their horses. There were more than two thousand people. A large number of luggage, food, gold, silver, jewelry, money, and more than 300 carriages were loaded, and there were women and children who could not see the end behind them. Extremely spectacular.
Chu Qiao and Zhuge Yue were placed at the end of the entourage, on a relatively dilapidated carriage, which was obviously just bought and had an unpleasant smell inside.
Their worries are unnecessary at all, because in their current identities, they have no chance of getting close to Liu's young master.
In the morning, Chu Qiao followed several servants carrying luggage, and saw a man in a lake blue brocade robe getting into a carriage under the guard of a group of guards from a distance. The weather in Amber was already very hot, but the man was wearing a wide cloak, his figure was thin, and the hood was half covered, covering his face. But that half-hidden figure in the morning mist immediately surprised Chu Qiao.
She stopped involuntarily, watched the figure go away, and then boarded a magnificent and large carriage.
Chu Qiao didn't move for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Zhuge Yue walked in front of her, turned around and asked in a deep voice.
"Oh, it's nothing." Chu Qiao smiled self-deprecatingly, and shook her head, as if she wanted to throw some unrealistic thoughts out of her head, "Let's go."
The carriage slowly drove out of Amber City, Chu Qiao lay on the window, opened a corner of the curtain, and looked out through the faint veil.
"Oh, that's right." Suddenly remembered something, Chu Qiao took out a small bag and handed it to Zhuge Yue, and said calmly, "I asked Xiaoer to go out and buy it in the morning."
Zhuge Yue took the bag, and after opening it, he saw that inside was a hood to keep out the wind and sand. Although it was a bit inappropriate to wear it at this time, the hood was very finely crafted and the material was very thin, so it shouldn't be too hot to wear. .
"It's always good to be careful." Chu Qiao said softly, and then smiled faintly, "Although there may not be a chance to use it."
More than 2,000 horses and hundreds of carriages stretched along the post road. From here, the carriages and horses ahead could not be seen at all.
Zhuge Yue put the hood aside, but kept pressing on it without taking his hand back, "The merchants in Xianyang are about to flee."
Chu Qiao smiled slightly, turned her head, and said, "You can see it."
"The battle between Yanbei and Daxia is imminent. These old foxes are going to hide in Biantang together. They dare not start from Xianyang on a large scale, so they can only break it up into pieces. They gather at Amber and go to Tangjing together. Those carriages and horses are probably their life savings."
Chu Qiao nodded lightly, and said softly: "Yes, they want to stay out of it."
Unlike Zhuge Yue, Chu Qiao suddenly felt flustered in her heart. She knew the identities of the major merchants in Xianyang, and even more how they made their fortunes these years, and now, they were about to run away.
Thinking of the figure she saw before, Chu Qiao suddenly felt like a fire was burning in her heart, she really wanted to jump out of the car and run up to have a look. But in an instant, she just shook her head helplessly, and leaned against the shaking carriage again.
Chu Qiao, are you too tired? Ever since the Zhenhuang Uprising started, you have been unable to hold on all this way, so you have such unrealistic fantasies
Yan Xun, they are about to escape, right in front of my eyes, what should I do, how can I stop them? what can we do about it
