A Clash of Gods Chapter 655: Art Orchestra

Qining's brows were tight, and he said, "Are you from the Northern Han Dynasty?"

Xiu Niang said: "My father was originally a small county official under Dingtao County in Northern Han Dynasty. Before the Qinhuai War, his father knew that Dingtao would be affected. He was afraid that his family would be involved and took us away. Dingtao, want to avoid war disaster."

"Oh?" Qi Ning said: "Your father is an official, and he leaves first without a fight. That can be regarded as an escape."

"Yes." Xiu Niang said: "At that time, many officials took their families to leave first, and their fathers also followed the crowd. But they didn't dare to go north, they were afraid to be arrested, and they didn't dare to go south, only I can come in the direction of Dongqi." With his head down, his voice said calmly: "It hasn't been long before he met a gangster on the way........."

Qing Ning knew that the war was about to come, and people were panicking, and some people laid grass for the robbery, killing and looting. That was also an inevitable thing. They only listened to Xiu Niang and continued: "They kill when they see someone, see Wealth is robbed, and none of us can be spared......" When it comes to here, the voice is also sour.

Perhaps it has been a few years since the time, she has been sad for many years, so now the emotional control is not bad.

Qining asked: "So, did your family have been killed a few years ago?"

Xiu Niang nodded: "Those gangsters killed people and robbed them, but they didn't kill the young girl, and they caught us back." At this time, the head of the worm was even lower: "We thought. ..... I thought they would endure their humiliation, but they didn't touch us, they just shut us up and took care of us every day. After more than a month, we were taken to Qi , I stayed in a place for only a few days, and I was sent to the Prime Minister’s Office."

"Why is this?" Qi Ning frowned.

Xiu Niang said: "Later slave servants learned that the gangs took us to Dongqi to sell to daguan nobles as slaves. Some people...Some people think that slave servants are pretty Peugeot, and Xiangguofu The manager said, the manager let me send me over, and later...I stayed in Xiangguofu."

Qining said: "It turns out so."

"There is an arts orchestra in Xiangguofu, and slave-servants practice dancing with them." Xiu Niang said: "Slaves also had some foundation before, so... so they practiced very well. Later, slave-servants knew that Xiangguo's art orchestra , A group of people will be replaced every few years, and after training, it will often be given to other dignitaries."

Qing Ning thought Linghu Xu was also a scholar, but why did he engage in these methods? But in my mind, Ling Huxu, as the prime minister of the State of Qi, although he has a high weight, but to form his own team, it is inevitable that there will be some means to gather people's hearts. This method of giving beauty is a good idea. s method.

"People sent from the Art Orchestra have no way to go if they are returned." Xiu Niang said softly: "Xiangfu will not take it back, and the people who come out of it will not be in other mansions." Dare to take it in."

Qing Ning understood it and said, "So you must not stay in Qi State?"

Xiu Niang said: "The slave-servant heard that Dingtao was also ruined during the Qinhuai War. The slave-servant went back and couldn't find his home." A miserable smile said, "In fact, the slave-servant has long been No home."

Along with the war, the people are displaced and homeless. This is not just the experience of Xiuniang. Qi Ning sighed and said, "Is it true that you have an uncle?"

Xiu Niang immediately said: "The slave-servant just worried that Hou-ye knew that the slave-servant was from the Northern Han Dynasty, so...there wouldn't be a slave-servant, everything else was true. The slave-servant had an uncle, but there was no longer If it's where he is, he won't know whether he is alive or dead."

Qining frowned, and thought to himself, this girl really had no place to go. After thinking about it, she said, "If you are willing, just go with me, and it will always give you a bite to eat." "

Xiu Niang salutes: "Xiu Niang Xie Hou Ye takes in."

Qing Ning summoned people to come in and ordered to arrange accommodation for Xiu Niang. Tomorrow morning, she will start her journey. The post is very big. You can make it up all night. Xiu Niang thanked her and was about to go down. Qi Ning suddenly thought of something. , Asked Xiuniang to ask: "Xiuniang, you were caught by people in the Northern Han Dynasty, and then they were sent to Dongqi, which was then resold as a slave?"

Xiu Niang said: "Yes."

"Is there a lot of this situation in Dongqi?" Qi Ning asked: "Is there often a girl in distress who is sold to Dongqi?"

Xiu Niang slightly frowned, and thought for a while, she said: "Slave slaves are not very clear, but they should be a lot. The art orchestra of Xiangfu is divided into a dozen teams, each of which has five or six people. They said that the girls of the art orchestra were carefully selected...!" The cheeks were reddish, and they bowed their heads: "If they look good and have a good figure, they will be sent to the art orchestra, otherwise they will not be able to enter. ."

Qing Ning said: "In this way, there are nearly 100 people in the art orchestra."

Xiu Niang said: "The slave-servants just listened to their occasional talk. How many people are there? The slave-servants are also unclear and have never seen them. But the slave-servants... The slave-servants know that every year the art band will have new people to join. Everyone from the Art Orchestra was sent out, slave-servant... slave-servant spent three years in the art orchestra before being sent to Hou Ye, it has been a long time."

Qing Ning thought that this was not because you were not excellent, on the contrary, no matter how you looked or your figure was excellent, it would not be easily sent out.

At this time, he couldn’t help but think of the situation in Huize City. At that time, the head of Huize County, Xiao Yishui, and Mrs. Hua secretly sold girls to control the fallen girls from the war zone. After a little training, they sent them It was sold to Daguan nobles in Beijing, and a dirty underground line was formed.

This is why Fluttershy's whereabouts are unknown.

Today’s encounter with Xiu Niang immediately reminded Qi Ning of Fluttershy. Although she felt the possibility was extremely small, a small flame rose in her mind and asked, "The girls of the Art Orchestra are all from the Northern Han Dynasty. ?Can there be a girl from Chu?"

Xiu Niang hesitated and said slightly: "Yes, there are two sisters from the slave country in the slave-servant's squad." What came to mind, said: "Hou Ye remembers today and slave-servant one The girl who got up?"

Qining nodded, remembering the girl’s seductive look, but she was impressed.

"She is from the Chu Kingdom." Xiu Niang said: "Her encounter and slave-servant are not much different. It was also during the war, when her family broke down and she was sent to Qi, but she was not willing to say more about it. So slaves are not easy to ask."

Qining frowned, thinking that he was indeed a mistake. If he knew this earlier, he should leave the girl together. It might not be possible to ask some clues.

It was only then that he knew that during the war, secretly forcing the sale of young girls did not just happen in Huize County. Now, it seems that many people are doing this beastly act in private, and they sent small children The darts of Butterfly and others who went to Beijing were completely destroyed midway, and the girls escorted were all abducted away, not necessarily by another gang engaged in buying and selling people.

The disappearance of Fluttershy has been a hidden injury in Qi Ning's heart. There is no clue. If you want to find Fluttershy, it is a needle in a haystack.

Although he knows that Fluttershy is missing, he can never be sent to Dongqi, nor even to the Yihu Orchestra, because after all, there are many gangs selling human beings, and the dignitaries who bought girls as slaves are even more Many, there can be no such coincidence in the world, but there is still a glimmer of hope in my heart, asking: "Except for the girl today, how old is another Chu girl in your team?"

There is a shadow of Fluttershy in his mind that has never seen him but the image of Xiao Erer remains. He remembers that Fluttershy is a little younger than himself, and he looks like he is 15 or 16 years old.

Xiu Niang thought for a while and said, "One year older than the slave maid, I have spent more than a year in the art orchestra."

When she said this, Qi Ning knew she could never be Fluttershy. Xiu Niang looked 18 or 9 years old, older than her. That was almost 20, and she had been in the art orchestra for a year. It’s too much, and time is not right. I was a little disappointed in my heart. I shook my head, thinking that I really wanted to.

Looking at the sky, it made the soldiers take Xiuniang down first. Before Xiuniang left, he was still a little bit shy: "Here, Lord Hou...do you not need to wait at night? "

Qining doesn’t want to say that I didn’t plan to touch you at all. Even if I really want to take you, it’s not tonight. I’m going back to Beijing tomorrow. You have a long way to go.

Before the next day, the Chu missions got up early and early, everything was ready, and under the leadership of Qi Ning, they went to the south gate of Lucheng.

At the Nanshengmen side, there was already a guard of hundreds of people waiting, but the princess hadn’t come over, just waited for a moment, the prince led a team, and there were many maid eunuchs and the carriage that the princess was riding. Spacious and gorgeous, four horse-drawn carriages, very stylish.

King Dong Qi has said goodbye to Princess Tianxiang in the palace and did not send it over. After the Prince and Qi Ning met, they made a brief discussion. In the territory of Qi, everything is done according to the intention of the Prince. The National Cavalry Guards lead the way, the princess's car is in the middle, and there are cavalry guards on each wing. Behind the princess's car is the accompanying Qi Guogong, more than 30 court ladies and 20 eunuchs. Qi Ning asked for a set The maid's clothes, so that Xiu Niang dressed up and mixed into the maid of the maid, so it will not be conspicuous.

After departure, before going to a place, someone will inform the local government in advance. The government along the way is also trying to be extravagant, not to mention looking at the face of Princess Tianxiang. Dare to be negligent, officials of all sizes are flattering and flattering.

As the envoy of Chu Kingdom, Qi Ning, along with the crown prince, was naturally courteously courteous, and there were even many gifts of filial piety along the way. Qi Ning naturally was a refusal of the visitor, and he wanted to go on a business trip and successfully complete the task. You should also get some gifts, and I feel very comfortable.

Qi Ning does not have to worry about food and accommodation along the way, everything is arranged by the accompanying Qi Guo Li Ministry Shang Shu Tao Gan.

Qing Ning talked to the prince in private. The speed does not have to be too fast. The prince is also a wise man. Knowing that Qi Ning is going to make some time for Chu Kingdom to prepare for the job, this is also related to Qi Guo's face, the prince naturally agreed, so the daily schedule was not much. After three days of walking, he entered the territory of Xuzhou.

Entering Xuzhou City, everything was in order. Qi Ning thought that it seemed that the death of King Taishan was still under the control of Qi State, without causing much turmoil. He knew that these days, receiving foreign envoys Although the minister is one of the major events of the Qi State, the Qi State Court is bound to deal with the aftermath of the rebellion of King Taishan.

In the city of Xuzhou, everything is organized and there are no signs of confusion~ IndoMTL.com~ arrived at the Xuzhou Posthouse, Qi Ning knew that Xuzhou was currently being cooked by Situ Mingyue, after the death of King Taishan and Xuzhou Shishi Fang Xingzhai, Xuzhou’s dragons had no head, the prince The governor Shi Situ Mingyue was recommended by the crown prince to temporarily manage Xuzhou affairs. Qi Ning thought it was no wonder that when he arrived in Lucheng, he had never seen Situ Mingyue.

Situ Mingyue has not been temporarily named Xuzhou assassination history. The official position is vacant, but what he has done is equivalent to that of Xuzhou assassination history.

This is the prince’s confidant, and he was prepared in advance. Naturally, it was a warm hospitality. Although the evening banquet was also lively, but after the banquet, there was no gift from the officials along the way. Qi Ning knew that Situ Mingyue had just been here. In just a few days in Xuzhou, his buttocks hadn’t been sitting hot, and he certainly couldn’t come up with anything, not to mention that he was a prince, and he didn’t have to send gifts to flatter him, but this made Qi Ning lose some input.

After using the dinner party, returning to the post, Li Tang came over and reported: "Hou Ye, a man named Mao Hu'er is asking for a meeting outside, saying there is an urgent matter to meet Hou Ye."

"Mao Huer?" Qi Ningqi said: "Who is that person?"

Li Tang whispered: "I see his clothes are worn out, but the chassis is very stable when walking. He is a trainer. Asked who he is, he said that Hou Ye knows, not much to say. Look, it looks a bit like a beggar. Help people!"
