MTL - Sweet Beauty-Chapter 12 trapped
Quiet all the time.
Even though Zhao Ji was beautiful and she was a newly married wife, everyone never expected that Liu Yu, being Zhao Ji, would dare to take risks. The bandit and bandit Kou Su is a contemptuous person, especially just now. Xu Guang's villainous behavior has been fully exposed. Liu Ji and others advised: "Think again, Your Majesty, we are all willing to replace the queen as a hostage!"
Xu Guangguang scolded: "Don't bully my generation stupid, no one wants to change this woman, I only want food!"
As he spoke, his hand was so strong that the sharp wooden spear cut through half an inch of skin from the side of Ah Shu's neck, and blood oozing out into a string of thin beads slipped from his neck over his collarbone and sank into the fabric.
At this moment, Ah Shu was gradually feeling numb due to fear, and she didn't feel much pain, but she was covered in cold sweat and her lips trembled slightly. She quickly weighed the current situation in her mind, her brother was definitely unable to save her, and the target of the mountain bandits was Liu Yu.
Since Liu Yu made up his mind to become a teacher in the name of benevolence and righteousness, he would not ignore her in full view.
Thinking about it this way, although she felt a little at ease, she was still terrified. It wasn't until just now, when he actually offered to take risks, that she was shocked.
Although she was in danger, she still managed to stay awake, and would not naively think that he was really just trying to save herself. But no matter what, he was not chaotic in the face of danger, neither humble nor arrogant, as if a needle had been stabbed in her heart, making her support her legs and dare not fall.
Zhao You also looked complicated, worried about Ah Shu and surprised at Liu Yu.
In the public eye, Liu Yu got off his horse and took a pen and ink silk and silk from the box, wrote a letter on the spot, and stamped it with the seal of the princes. The county magistrate and the county magistrate allocated 500 shi of official ration, and another 500 shi to neighboring counties, for a total of 1,000 shi.
Then, he calmly put down the long sword in his hand, and bowed at the generals from a distance: "I rely on you." After saying that, he entered the enemy with empty hands.
The Red Turban Army stared at Liu Yu who was coming from Shi Shi, and they were all stunned for a while, but they unconsciously made way for him and went straight to where Xu Guang and A Shu were.
Xu Guang looked at him angrily, for fear that he was still cheating, he took A Shu back two steps and shouted, "You-don't come near!"
Liu Yu laughed: "I'm empty-handed, what's the matter with my steps? Just please let go of my wife quickly."
Xu Guang's eyes narrowed, still worried, and he had to send someone to search him, but Wang Shu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly shouted: "Enough! Second brother, let go of Queen Xiao!"
After all, who is the leader of the red scarf, as soon as he spoke, Xu Guang and the brothers next to him were unwilling, and they could not act rashly, so they had to let go.
As soon as Ah Shu was free, she felt her legs go limp, and when she was about to fall down, a pair of arms stretched out in front of her, holding her firmly in front of her.
When she stabilized a little, Liu Jiu released a hand, lifted her chin lightly, and carefully observed the wound on her neck that was stabbed by Xu Guang just now. In addition to the dried blood, there are also finger pinch marks, leaving mottled marks on the delicate skin, which is shocking.
He sighed secretly, and heat came from the palm of his hand supporting her shoulder.
"Trust me, don't be afraid."
The words lightly entered her ears, causing her to straighten her shoulders immediately, showing a stubborn look.
"I'm not afraid."
He chuckled lightly, raised his head and said to Wang Shu, "Just keep walking, and wait in the mountains."
…
However, they said that Liu Ji and others were full of worries, and watched Liu Ruo go away with Wang Shu and others. Seeing that the crisis was finally resolved, Xie Jin planned to escape.
Liu Yu went with the bandits, but left him the difficult task of adjusting food, which was really tricky. It should be noted that this place is close to Hebei, and the imperial court's orders often fail to achieve. Last year, there was a severe drought, and the food reserves in various places were not abundant. At this time, Qianshi must be transferred. Does it mean that he has to show his old face?
If he can escape at this time, Liu Xiu will probably not be able to come back. If the matter is over, he will return to Chang'an to return to his life. He only says that King Xiao is incompetent, and that he is killed by a thief.
But his thoughts did not escape Zhao You's eyes.
Zhao You was determined to save his sister, and since he couldn't let Xie Jin escape, he drew his sword across his chest and said coldly, "Where is Duke Xie going? Let's go down to Shexian."
Xie Jin turned around and saw the other side, Liu Ji had also looked over, and the long knife in his hand seemed to have undoubtedly swiped, making his legs weak in fright. , rushed to Shexian County.
She county magistrate knew that King Xiao's army was going to supply supplies here, and had prepared food and grass, but it was only a few days' cost for more than a thousand people. Now Xie Jin suddenly opened his mouth and asked for five hundred stone of food, but he refused. Ken.
Xie Jin glanced at the two figures standing like wooden carvings on the left and the right, gritted his teeth, and used his ability to speak eloquently in front of Zhang Hou and Geng Yun. He hurried to Linxian non-stop, did the same thing, and got another three hundred stones.
After running around like this for five days, only 600 stones were collected. Liu Ji and Zhao You couldn't, so they had to **** them to Xishan first.
In the past few days, after Wang Shu returned, he ordered Liu Yu and A Shu to be locked in the house, and sent people to guard them from all sides, and they were not allowed to move around.
Fortunately, he originally intended to let people go, so even though he was persecuted by Xu Guang and others, he still treated them kindly, ordering people to deliver three meals a day, so he didn't dare to be too negligent.
There was a shortage of food in the mountains, and there were only a few rough and hard-to-eat bean rice and wheat rice. When it was delivered on the first day and night, some people even stayed outside the house for a long time, peeping at the situation of the two.
Liu Yu had no resentment at all of these scumbags, and after taking them, he chewed and swallowed them, as if he was eating a delicacy. Ah Shu has never suffered such hardships in her past or present life, but when she saw this scene and her belly was empty, she also imitated him and ate a big mouthful.
It's just that the grains of rice were too thick, and the first time she swallowed it, she was choked and stuck in her throat, unable to move forward or backward. She only kept her cheeks flushed and even her eyes oozing moisture.
Liu Yu laughed, filled her with water from a wooden cup with a missing mouth on the side, patted her on the back, and made her drink until it slowed down.
"Don't be greedy. I used to be accustomed to eating and drinking. I was very satisfied with two bites of wheat and rice. You are different from me, so you don't have to force it."
Ah Shu raised her eyes and looked at his handsome and gentle face in the weak light, her eyes gradually turned red, and the tip of her nose became sour. Tears rolled down, she stubbornly picked up the rice bowl again, and sent it to her mouth one by one, chewing and swallowing hard, and said vaguely to herself: "I want to eat, brother is still waiting for me to go back. Well, if I'm hungry and thin, he should be distressed again."
She used to be the pampered daughter of a wealthy family, but now she is suffering in the mountains.
Liu Xiu suddenly remembered the younger sister at home, and his heart softened a little. He showed his patience when coaxing the younger sister, and wiped her tears little by little: "Good girl, it's not good to look good when you cry."
Ah Shu managed to finish the three or two mouthfuls of wheat rice. Hearing that, he swallowed hard, and glared at him with choking: "Nonsense, I am the most beautiful woman in Handan, how can I not look good?"
In the darkness, Liu Xiong stared at her eyes that were sparkling from tears, and suddenly approached, and whispered in her ear, "Trust me, at most five days, they will let us go."
Due to the lack of supplies in the mountains, Wang Shu only ordered a dilapidated quilt to be delivered.
The two of them were sleeping together, very cramped. Ah Shu Su easily became cold, and in the middle of the night, she was shivering because of the cold and dampness in the mountains, and occasionally sneezed twice, very embarrassed.
Liu Yu couldn't take it anymore, struggled for a moment, and finally stretched out his arms, pulled her into his arms, and held her tightly. In her clear eyes, he whispered in his ear, "There are no medical workers here."
The warm breath brushed the side of his neck, and A Shu shivered again, clutching the cuffs tightly, and finally closed his eyes obediently, motionless, and gradually fell asleep in his arms.
Strange to say, the two lived together for four days in a row, and they spoke very little between the sky and the earth, and they actually had a half-harmony.
This situation naturally fell into Wang Shu's ears.
After waiting for several days, there was no sign of food being delivered at the foot of the mountain. People in the Red Turban Army were already panicking, and the elder brother Liu Yu was killed. Could it be that although the young emperor made Liu Yu the king of Xiao, he had no authority at all, and he had abandoned it long ago. Son, with his meager seal of the king of silk books, he can't get any food at all.
Xu Guang was even more flustered and annoyed. He was the one who made this decision at first, but now facing the accusing eyes of others, he couldn't help but said to Wang Shu: "Brother, Liu Xiu seems to be useless, it's better for brothers to join together. Going to Shexian County, you can grab as much as you can, it's better than sitting on the mountain."
Wang Shu pondered, recalling Liu Yuchu's calm and confident look, and shook his head and said, "No, this is the last resort, I don't know if I can get enough food if I go to Shexian, but my brothers will definitely lose a lot. Innocent women and children in the city will also suffer."
When Sunset Grass became a pirate, Chijin once relied on unrestrained looting, and lived a well-fed and well-fed life for several months. However, Wang Shu was a man of righteousness and did not want to hurt innocent people, so he set up many rules and rebelled against Xu Xu. Guang et al. In the past few days, Xu Guang has been living in austere ways. Xu Guang was already irritable, and when his comments were refuted, he became more and more annoyed. Fa's brother, why is there no blood now?"
Wang Shu was angry when he heard his rude remarks, suddenly stood up, and said coldly: "Second brother, don't forget, the lives of others are the same as you and me. Mountains are bandits, burning, killing and looting is not a long-term solution." After that, as if he had made up his mind, he said sternly, "Go, invite King Xiao."
......
When Liu Xiu entered, Xu Guang had already left in anger, and Wang Shu was the only one, and when he saw him, he first bowed: "In the past few days, I have wronged King Xiao, and I will stay here temporarily."
Although Liu Xiu's clothes were dirty, his face was clean and his instrument was neat, and he seemed to have a certain bearing. He shook his head and said, "I usually eat and sleep in the open air, and I don't feel bitter. I just suffered for my wife, Zhao Ji, and her husband's affairs. She should not have been involved in it." After that, his warm eyes looked at Wang Shu. Observe his demeanor carefully.
Hearing this, Wang Shu felt ashamed and sighed inwardly. Liu Xiu was indeed a true husband who was responsible.
He tentatively said: "It's just that the food has not arrived for the past few days. Isn't King Xiao worried that his subordinates fled as before? What's more, the supervisor, Duke Xie, seems to be a timid person like a mouse. ."
Liu Yu laughed loudly: "My step is also from Dongjun. My brother and I must have heard of the name? My brother and I are righteous, and if even my subordinates can't believe it, how can it be a big thing? You see, within two days, There will be food."
In a blink of an eye, he expressed concern again: "I know the difficulties, and I definitely don't want to hurt innocent people, so I made this decision. However, no matter what the result is this time, the county magistrates here are afraid that they will not give up, and the red scarf is in danger."
Wang Shu's expression froze when he said that he was at the center of things.
In the past, he tried his best to restrain his subordinates, and he did not easily disturb the surrounding counties. He only started with the traveling teams, that is, he saw that the counties in this place were in charge of their own affairs. .
But once provoked, they are likely to combine the power of several counties to jointly suppress the bandits.
The current rations are likely to trigger the consequences.
Xu Guang and the others did not know it, but he had expected it.
"I don't care so much now, it's important to feed the brothers first."
He said it reluctantly, and Liu Xiu caught it in an instant.
His eyes flashed suddenly, and he said solemnly: "There is only one way, but it depends on your sincerity."
Wang Shu looked up, but when he saw Liu Yu's hands behind his back, he was tall and straight, and the warm color on his face had faded for most of it, but he slowly showed the spirit of a seven-point king, which made him feel in awe.
…
After Xu Guang left with arrogance, he became more and more annoyed.
At the beginning, he was appreciated by Wang Shu for being extraordinarily brave, and he once saved his life on the battlefield. Only then did he become brothers with him and became the second head of Chijin.
It's just that in the past few months, he has become more and more aware that Wang Shu has too many concerns for others, just like that Liu Xiu, who has only a thousand people under him, is so afraid.
Thinking that when he kidnapped Zhao Ji that day, didn't Liu Yu still have no choice but to capture him?
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji's slender figure and charming appearance flashed before his eyes, he raised his head and poured a jar of suffocating wine, scolding angrily: "Damn, when you are a king, even the women you marry are so beautiful. Immortal! This world is unfair!"
Another burst of angry drinking, the accumulation of impulses and anger was like a big mountain, overwhelmed him to lose his reason, and his madness was so mad that he threw the wine jar and walked straight to the house where Liu Yu and Zhao Ji were locked for the past few days.
The author has something to say: The next chapter addresses this matter.
