As the former staff member of King Qi and the leader of the group, He Zhiyan has the most decent appearance.
He was dressed in a dark blue brocade robe, with a silver-trimmed cross-collar and a metal belt buckled around his waist. His outfit was elegant and dignified.
Because he was fleeing, his face was unwashed, a little soil was stained, his crown was not straightened, and a few strands of hair were hanging down. It looked noble and unrefined, like a sharp sword that fell to the ground and was stained with dust.
Shaoyin looked sideways slightly, sizing up the smooth and cool profile of the man. He has sharp eyebrows, a straight nose bridge, firm jaw line, and a cold expression, making him look not to be teased.
"If you listen to me, I'm 80% sure to send you away safely." She withdrew her gaze, her lips moved slightly, and her voice was contained in the wind, low and inaudible.
However, He Zhiyan was close to her, and the wind was in the right direction, so he just caught her voice in his ears.
He didn't move his eyebrows and eyes, without the slightest wave, and didn't take her words to heart. This woman is just trying to protect herself, what she said is not worth listening to.
He only believed in himself, only in the long sword in his hand, and only in her identity as Mrs. Qin Jinye.
"It's useless for you to hold us hostage." Shaoyin turned his back to him, unable to see his expression, and still whispered: "Master Hou is the most upright, loyal and courageous person. You hold us hostage, and his closest person is It's useless. People who are closer to him are less of a threat to him."
Her voice was so soft that you couldn't hear it unless you listened carefully.
He Zhiyan didn't want to hear it at all, but she kept talking, and her weak body seemed to be unable to support her, so she leaned more and more on him, making it impossible for him to ignore it.
He looked directly at Qin Jinye, observing his movements, but he couldn't help but focus a little bit, listening to Shaoyin's words.
"If you tie up a passer-by, it will be more useful to Lord Hou than us." Shaoyin leaned on the man's chest, unable to support her weak body, and leaned almost all her weight on him, "If you don't believe me , let’s make a compromise, have you seen the girl behind him? That’s my younger sister, the daughter of the Xu family.”
He Zhiyan couldn't help but move his gaze a little when he heard that, from Qin Jinye's face to the girl behind him.
Seeing this, he couldn't help being a little stunned.
As the head of King Qi's staff, he has always been careful, but at this moment he only glanced between the two of them, and immediately noticed something strange.
With a sneer, he parted his thin lips slightly, and said in a low voice: "Madam is so courageous, is this killing someone with a knife?"
There was an ambiguous feeling between the two of them, as long as they were not blind, they could see it.
And women are the most sensitive and thoughtful, he couldn't believe that Mrs. Wu Anhou didn't see it. She must have seen it, and wanted to take the opportunity to eradicate her own sister.
The heart is cruel.
"No, no, no." Shaoyin said, "You won't kill people. You won't kill me, you won't kill my son, and you won't even kill innocent passers-by easily."
The smile on He Zhiyan's face disappeared.
Eyes sink slightly.
"You just want to run away. It's useless to kill more people, unless Lord Hou doesn't allow you to run away and kills you all here." After Shaoyin spoke, her breath became weaker and weaker.
She couldn't stop coughing, every time he coughed, He Zhiyan could feel the approach of the two of them, and leaned back.
I only heard her say again: "If there is no way to escape, it is worth pulling a few backs. But if there is a chance, as long as there is a chance, you will not easily hurt others."
She was really very sick, and after she tried her best to say these words, she couldn't hold on any longer, and she slid down.
He Zhiyan had no choice but to mention her.
"It hurts." Shaoyin frowned lightly, tearfully said: "You scratched me."
Holding her arm to prevent her from slipping down, He Zhiyan, who was feeling in his heart how thin she was: "..."
Maybe it was the woman's subconsciously coquettish tone, or maybe she put almost all of her weight on him, and He Zhiyan felt an indescribable strangeness in his heart.
"Brother-in-law, my sister can't hold it anymore!" Xu Yaoyue said more anxiously, twenty meters away, she shook Qin Jinye's sleeve vigorously, "Brother-in-law! Let them let my sister go!"
Qin Jinye pursed his lips, struggling.
He is a minister who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, so he should not disregard the emperor's orders for his own selfishness. However, that was his first wife, his clever and lovely son...
"Let sister go!" Seeing Qin Jinye not moving, Xu Yaoyue's eyes froze, and she rushed forward, "I'll fight with you!"
She moved suddenly, Qin Jinye came to his senses and went to pull her, but only caught a piece of clothes. And He Zhiyan and the others were also taken aback, and subconsciously took the hostages back a few steps.
They didn't mean to hurt anyone.
Just like what Shaoyin said just now, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, they will not take that step.
However, if there is really no hope, they will definitely take that step—there are eight of them, with eight hearts, and some may not bear it, but can everyone maintain reason and kindness
"Back what?" Shaoyin shouted in a low voice, "Grab her!"
He Zhiyan had already recovered, but just as he stopped, he heard the woman in his arms scolded weakly but not concealing it severely.
"..."
Pursing his lips, he threw Shaoyin away, pushed him into the arms of another companion, and then strode forward, before Qin Jinye, grabbed Xu Yaoyue, grabbed her arm with one hand, and held her with the other. The long sword was across her neck.
"Stop!" He looked at Qin Jinye and shouted.
Qin Jinye didn't rush or stop immediately.
He looked at Xu Yaoyue, then at his wife and son, with intense anger gradually appearing on his face: "He Zhiyan! You dare to hurt a single hair of their hair, and this Marquis tells you not to live or die!"
He Zhiyan looked at his raging face, noticed that his whole body was surging, and the corners of his robe were violently rolled up, and he couldn't help but think of the woman who was leaning in his arms just now.
No, it was the woman held hostage by him. She didn't have the slightest fear of being held hostage, and calmly advised him.
She should hate him to death.
No wonder she hated him. She and her son together can't compare to other people's position in her husband's heart, how can she not hate it
It's cheaper for them. He Zhiyan thought to himself, and couldn't help but stretch his face: "Marquis Wu'an, I know that you are selfless, upright, and loyal to the present. I don't expect you to spare us. But, for the sake of these people, you let us run first How about thirty miles?"
When Qin Jinye heard the words, he immediately hesitated.
It is impossible to let them go. But if they run thirty miles first...
His eyes flickered slightly.
It is said that they will run for thirty miles first, but they know what is going on inside. This is a good step, if he didn't use the slope to descend, he might really have to collect the corpses of his wife, child and Yue'er.
"Okay!" He replied straight away, "This Marquis will let you run for thirty miles first!"
After hearing this sentence, He Zhiyan couldn't help but think of what the woman said in his arms just now, and a pang of sympathy rose from the bottom of his heart.
At the same time, he also showed a little more contempt for Qin Jinye. If this person is really upright and upright, disregarding his family for the emperor's order, then he respects him as a loyal minister. But the truth is not so.
"Then thank you, Lord Hou." He said, holding Xu Yaoyue back.
"Let go of mother! Let go of my mother!" Only a child screamed, "You catch me! Let go of my mother!"
He Zhiyan followed the sound and saw Qin Jinye's five-year-old son, who had just been caught, behaving wildly at the moment: "My mother is not in good health! You can't hold her hostage! Let her go! Otherwise, I will fight you!"
He howled loudly and didn't cry a word, but his face was full of tears. At this moment, he frantically beat the man holding him, kicking and hitting, scratching and biting.
The man couldn't bear the pain and threatened him: "Child! If you don't stop, I won't be polite!"
"Let go of my mother!!" Han'er just beat him blindly.
He Zhiyan's heart was slightly touched. The woman gave birth to a good son. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look in her direction.
The man who held her hostage was the youngest in the group, and also the most sympathetic. Before he fell down, he was also a flirtatious master. He Zhiyan dumped her to him in order not to hurt her.
And she wasn't hurt. Being held by someone's waist and held in his arms, with the blade slack across his neck, those who knew thought it was a kidnapping, and those who didn't knew thought it was a joke!
"Let go of her." He Zhiyan said, with a cold and deep voice, "She is not in good health, and she has something wrong with her."
To put it nicely, it is "bringing mistakes".
In fact, he was worried that if he brought her along on the road, if he died from the bumps, he would have a death feud with the Marquis of Wu'an.
The peachy-eyed man who was "holding" Shaoyin immediately let her go.
Without anyone to support her, Shaoyin immediately fell down limply. The peach-eyed man hastily put away the knife, stretched out his arms, and embraced her: "Ma'am, stand still."
Such a weak Liu Fufeng, like a sickly beauty who would break if touched, made Taohuayan dare not scold her, and spoke softly to her.
"Thank you." Shaoyin said in a low voice.
How strange does it sound to say thank you to the villains who held her hostage? But her voice was too low, except for Taohuayan, no one else heard it, not even He Zhiyan.
After she thanked her, she grabbed the corner of Taohuayan's clothes, raised her head, and said pitifully, "Take me with you and let my son go! He's too young! He's only five years old! Don't scare him! Please!"
Peach Blossom Eyes only felt that the scalp was exploding!
My whole body was stiff, and I didn't know how to react!
Yes, they are desperadoes! But before the accident, all of them were sons of rich and noble families, romantic and unrestrained, demanding themselves with courtesy, justice, integrity and shame all day long. Even if he was down and out later, he never did anything like robbing or stealing, or mutilating the old, the weak, women and children.
As a result, he obviously didn't think he was a good person, but his conscience ached for no reason when he was dragged by the hem of his clothes by Shaoyin!
"Mother! Mother!" Han'er, who hadn't cried all this time, couldn't hold back at this time, and burst into tears.
He knows it! He knows it! Only mother loves him!
He had heard Qin Jinye's cold words early in the morning, and he had long given up on it! He only hated himself for being too young to save his mother!
What I hate even more is that my mother has passed yesterday's death and escaped. However, a new catastrophe came again, and it seemed that the mother's life was absolutely necessary!
He was both sad and angry, his weak body couldn't bear his strong emotions, so he burst into tears uncontrollably, and the tears quickly wet the front of his clothes.
The cry of a child is like a magic sound piercing through the ears, few of the people present can bear it, wishing to knock him unconscious with a palm. But in front of Qin Jinye, it was inconvenient.
Shao Yin was also teary-eyed, grabbing the corner of her clothes with peach blossom eyes in one hand, and stretched out in Han'er's direction with the other: "Han'er! My son!"
"Mother!" Han'er cried loudly, struggling to rush towards her.
He Zhiyan looked at the mother and the child, with foreheads popping up and down, and it was difficult to connect this sad woman with the calm and vicious woman just now.
"Take them all!"
