I’m The King Chapter 1168: : Carry forward the past and usher in the future (fifty-eight) save lives
The crowd at the head of the village gradually dispersed, and the orphans and widows of the families whose heads were beheaded cried out loudly and packed up the bodies of their loved ones, leaving behind a lot of sorrow on the ground. Flying in the wind, some went away with the wind, some fell on the nearby roofs, rolled and struggled in the gaps between the tile-roofed houses, but finally did not know the raging wind.
The wind is biting, pouring in along the collar of the collar, can make people cold to the bone marrow, but Qiao Wan didn't notice it. The sky is like a stone sculpture.
What to do? These are the words Qiao Wan turned over in her head? If he had known this earlier, he should have left Qiao's Village with that Ye Feng two months ago.
"Master, let's go home!" A familiar voice came from beside him. Qiao Wan lowered her head. Looking at his wife's red and swollen eyes, he obviously knew what happened today. "
Staggering, the old couple helped each other, and stumbled back to the door of the house. The tile-roofed houses in the house were replaced with new tiles by Ye Feng, and it was not other villagers who formed the fence around the small courtyard. The twigs and thatch are used instead of neatly cut wood. Of course, this is also the masterpiece of that young officer. Looking at all this, Qiao Wan felt a twinge of pain in his heart. If he had known this before, why bother! "
"Father, mother!" His son, Qiao Zheng, greeted him in a panic, "My sister locked herself in the room and cried loudly, and no one was allowed in."
The husband and wife looked at each other with tears in their eyes, helpless.
"Also, there are other people in the room." Qiao Zheng paused. Again.
"Others, who?"
"Yes, they are sent by Qiao Tang."
Qiao Wan's heart was burning with anger, strode into the door, and saw four more people in the room at a glance. Two men and two women, the man is strong and the woman is round and thick.
"Mr. Qiao is back!" A man with a ferocious face greeted him, "I will follow Master Qiao's order to guard the door for Mr. Qiao, lest some disdainful people come to disturb Mr.'s peace. This woman was sent by Master Qiao to serve Miss."
Hearing these words, Qiao Wan's heart suddenly turned cold. She had planned to run away with her family overnight, but the other party had already expected her plan. He even sent someone to watch his family.
"How dare Qiao Tang do this? After all, we haven't released the fifth server yet. He's an idiot, you know?"
The man in the lead laughed, "Mr. Qiao, you can't get out of the fifth service. Your family and Mr. Qiao's family can't fight together. It's just the same surname. Your family's Rong My mother was taken by the master. That is your family's blessing, Mr. Qiao, I don't have to hide it from you. Your family has a close relationship with a general named Ye in the Han Dynasty. Is it possible for your family to be alive now if you are in the eyes of the master? You must have been dragged to the village and beheaded like Qiao San and the others! So, Mr. Qiao, be content, be content!" the man casually grabbed Qiao Cheng, who lived next to him and glared at him, said, "Look at Brother Cheng, he is only twelve or thirteen years old. If his head is also beheaded, tsk tsk, that would be a pity. Your Mr. Qiao's house will also lose incense." !”
Qiao Wan was like a balloon with a hole punctured, and her whole body suddenly became numb, and Qiao Shi's legs went limp, and she fell to the ground.
"You two, hurry up and accompany Miss Rongniang, if the lady loses a hair, you two will not have to live." Seeing that Qiao Wan was frightened, the leading man couldn't help but smiled smugly Get up and shout to the two strong women beside you.
"Understood, butler!" The two strong women immediately walked to the side room, the door of Rongniang's room was tightly closed, and no matter how the two strong women beat outside, there was no movement. Han smiled coldly, walked to the door, raised his fist, and hit the door hard. The thin door panel was broken with a crash, and the two strong women exclaimed, and rushed in with big strides. At the moment when everyone was talking, Rong Niang actually put a rope on the beam, and she was standing on the stool and wrapping her neck into the rope loop.
Two strong women rushed away, they held up Rongniang's feet and dragged her off the stool, Qiao Shi burst into tears and rushed in, the two women hugged each other and cried bitterly.
"Miss Qiao, I advise you to be more calm and take a look at your parents and brothers. If something happens to you, they won't be able to survive. Think about it carefully, and you will be exchanged for your family. People's safety and future prosperity, this kind of business is enough!" The leader of the big man said coldly.
Qiao Wan let out a long sigh and sat down on the ground.
Qiaojia Village has ushered in the first snow this winter. Compared with previous years, this year's snow is extraordinarily heavy. In the Zhaofeng year, a heavy snowfall is enough to ensure a good harvest next year, but now, the entire Qiao family village has fallen into a deathly silence, not only the still shocking big pool of blood at the village head reminded them, but also because of their There is not much food left in the family. Originally, this year's harvest was very good, but once the Han army left and Qiao Tang came back, the entire rent doubled, and their harvest this year was almost wiped out. Can they survive? This winter has become a question, and everyone is thinking about how to survive this year of doomed hunger and panic.
Compared to other people in Qiao's village, Qiao Wan's family is even more desperate. The days are passing day by day, and Qiao Tang's ten-day limit is getting closer and closer. Yesterday, Qiao Tang sent someone to send Several gifts were picked, claiming to be bride price for Qiao's family, even Dahong's wedding dress was brought over. Another day is the deadline. Qiao Wan has nothing to do. There is really no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth. Is it true that my beautiful and lovely jewel is really going to be given to Qiao Tang, who is about to pass the age of 60, to be the tenth wife? Aunt?
There are a few more men in the house, and everyone in Qiao Wan's family is overwhelmed. Even the last hut is followed by someone, even if Qiao Wan has any plans, he can't show them. What's more, he is just an ordinary person who has read a little and is helpless.
Remorse, he couldn't think of anything but regret.
It was late at night, and Qiao Wan was leaning on the cold bed. His eyes were dull, the whole day today, the people sent by Qiao Tang were decorating his yard, the red silk was wrapped around the fence, and the doors of the house were also pasted with red happy words, tomorrow. The bridal sedan chair of the Qiao family is coming soon, and her daughter is afraid that she will say goodbye to her forever. Qiao Wan understands her daughter's temperament, and she doesn't want to drag the family down. He was afraid that when he entered the door of Qiao Tang's house, it would be the moment of Rongniang's death, so he covered his face, tears rolling down silently.
The wife went to the wing room to accompany her daughter. Through the wall, Qiao Wan could also hear the sound of whimpering from there. Outside the door, there was loud snoring. Those are the dogs who guarded his family.
There was a slight sound from the window, and a cold wind rushed in immediately. Qiao Wan thought he hadn't closed the window properly. Looking back, the pupils of the eyes suddenly dilated, the window opened without any wind, and a head suddenly hung down from above, with a cloth towel covering its face, and a finger sticking out of its mouth. Let out a soft hiss.
Qiao Wan's eyes widened as she watched the man in white crawl in from the window like a civet cat. If it wasn't for the fact that his nerves were almost numb these days, he would have almost cried out.
"Shut up. We are sent by Master Ye." The visitor put his mouth next to Qiao Wan's ear, "Ye Feng, you should know each other, right?"
Qiao Wan's heart was shocked. The young commander of the Han army didn't forget his family, and he didn't forget Rong Niang. Has it reached the most critical moment now?
The person who came made a few gestures, put his hand out of the window, and waved it. In Qiao Wan's wide-eyed eyes, one after another, strong men covered in white scarves and all in white crawled out of the window. came in.
"There is one in front of my door, one in front of Cheng'er's room, two in the hall, two in the yard outside, and two strong women in Rongniang's room." Qiao Wan finally came to her senses. , said to the visitor in a low voice.
The visitor nodded, and the heads of several men came together. After a few low-key discussions, a man walked to the door and gently opened the door. A strong man was wrapped in a blanket , was leaning against Qiao Wan's doorway, and a pot of charcoal fire was burning in front of him. The man's wrist trembled, and a cold light appeared in his hand. He quietly walked to the side of the strong man wrapped in a blanket, slowly stretched out his hand, and the cold blade came in little by little. Suddenly, he covered the opponent with one hand. Quickly wiped his mouth and nose with one hand, the eyes of the snoring man opened wide, looking at the pair of cold eyes in horror, there was a hissing sound from his throat, and his legs kicked The child kicked straight, flicked a few times, and the whole person softened like noodles.
Seeing the man in white silently killing a man in front of her like a pig or a sheep, Qiao Wan felt like her heart was about to pop out, and she couldn't lift it up. strength.
Several men in white floated out of the house like ghosts.
Those strong men who looked like wolves and tigers in front of Qiao Wan and the villagers were like docile lambs in front of these people in white, with no room for resistance. It was the strong smell of blood. During the whole process, it seemed that only two short exclamations came from Rong Niang's room, which were the voices of Rong Niang and her mother.
A moment later, the men in white clothes who had gone out came back again, two of them were holding a woman in their hands, and the other was holding his legs in his hands and trembling.
Looking at Qiao Wan's eyes, the man in white who came in first smiled and said, "Mr. Qiao, the two of them are also women, and they won't stand out from Mrs. Qiao and Miss Qiao."
"May I ask who you are?" Qiao Wan finally calmed down, stood up, and cupped her hands at the visitor.
The man in white tore off his veil, "Get to know him, next Zhang Xi, who works in the Overwatch Council of the Han Kingdom."
"Overwatch Council?" Qiao Wan froze for a moment.
"Oh, it's like this. We were entrusted by General Ye Fengye to come to Qiao's Village to welcome Mr. and his family to the big man." Zhang Xi laughed.
"Why did you come here by such a coincidence?" Qiao Wan froze for a moment, "To be honest, if you don't come tonight, Rongniang probably won't be here~IndoMTL.com~ Zhang Xi nodded, "At first we didn't either. Thinking of such a change, in order to deal with this incident, we only came a few days late and made some necessary preparations, but don't worry, Mr. Qiao, we will definitely protect your family and reach your destination safely with us. "
In fact, Zhang Xi still has some things to say, because considering Qiao Wan's previous attitude, they were originally planning to kidnap Qiao Wan's family, but after arriving at their destination, they found that things had changed dramatically. Turning around, this made them feel a lot easier, but the plan they had prepared earlier had to be changed in due course.
"Mr. Qiao, we have investigated the prospects of Qiao Tang. This man's son works in a secret agency in Chu State, and his official position is not low, so we still have to hurry up and leave. Gentlemen, please change your clothes as soon as possible. , let’s set off, this heavy snow has caused us a lot of trouble.”
"Okay, let's pack up and leave right away."
"Don't tidy up anything, you won't be missing anything when you reach the big man!" Zhang Xi smiled, but he was thinking in his heart, if you knew the family background of General Ye Feng, what would you think? That is one of the most noble people in the big man. Look at Qiao Rongniang, she is not very beautiful, but somehow General Ye Feng can't forget it. (to be continued)
