But She’s So Charming

Zhang Mao tied Tang Wu with hemp rope, then gagged her with remnant cloth, then put her in a hemp bag and put it in the carriage.

Tang Wu couldn't see the road ahead, she could only feel that the carriage was swaying to the left. She wanted to remember some way, but she was born with a bad sense of direction. As soon as she turned two turns, she was dizzy. .

In less than half an hour, she heard that this group and the officers and soldiers stationed at the city gate began to deal with each other. They were very sophisticated, deliberately speaking in a not-so-authentic Beijing accent, saying that it was the Chinese New Year that they were going back to their hometown.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, and the city gate is allowed to be opened at night, so the guards didn't have too much doubt, so they simply opened a few packages and passed the inspection.

They were nine carriages in total, and Tang Wu was on the sixth. The people in the car are all dressed up as farmers, except for the shovel and hoes on the exposed surface, which are rows of sacks.

After the sacks are opened, they are also some agricultural products, such as potatoes and carrots.

Tang Wu curled up in the corner of the carriage, she could feel a sharp object against her back, she did not dare to make a sound, because she knew that with the skill of this group of people, there was no need to wait for officers and soldiers. Save her, her life is already dead.

The officers and soldiers who defended the city were still responsible, and did not mean to let go of any carriage. Just when she thought that the officers and soldiers would take her out for inspection, Zhang Mao suddenly said: "Official man, so many of us have to rush back to Suzhou. You can do it, don't embarrass us, my old man. My mother has been paralyzed on the couch for almost five years, and is waiting eagerly for me to go back! If we miss the big ship tomorrow morning, we will not be able to get home on the tenth day." In this passage, Zhang Mao also deliberately used Suzhou. talk.

The officer raised his head and didn't know what was wrong, his eyes suddenly reddened, "Your hometown is also in Suzhou?"

"Yes." Zhang Mao said while scratching the back of his head, looking very simple and honest.

At this time, the person in front suddenly said "Ah".

When the officers and soldiers turned their heads, they just saw a bag of potatoes rolling to the ground, and several people were picking them up.

The appearance of these people daring to be angry and not daring to speak can't help but make him stare.

At first glance, they are all honest farmers who can't return home once a year. If they continue to check in this way, they will definitely be wasting their time.

After thinking for a while, he waved people to open the door...

Tang Wu, lying in the carriage, closed his eyes in despair after hearing the "open the city gate" of the officers and soldiers.

She couldn't help smiling bitterly. At this moment, she understood why her Royal Highness was so busy every day. With such a skillful ventriloquist, she was afraid that it would take three feet to dig out.

After exiting the city gate, Zhang Mao said: "Zhang Heng, go and inform the brothers before and after that we don't take the water road, but the mountain road."

"Brother Mao, the waterway will be there in four days. If we walk the mountain road, I'm afraid it will take ten and a half months."

"Whether we take the mountain road or the waterway, King Ying will catch up. Zhong Jiushan is rugged and uneven. We can still deal with him according to the terrain. If we walk by the waterway, as long as we are surrounded, it will be a dead end. If he is Se Lingzhi Faint, maybe I can negotiate a condition with us, but...who can say that this kind of thing is accurate, forty-eight enemy country's lives, and a woman, how would you choose?"

"It's true that there are not a few people who kill relatives righteously, let alone..." Zhang Heng said.

Zhang Mao took the words over and said: "Yes, King Ying is very thoughtful. We have fought with him in the past two years and have never been pleased. In the last battle of Zhongxuguan, General Du almost died in his hands. This is just now. After winning the battle, we didn't give a chance to breathe, and we ruined the foundation that we had been entrenched in for several years."

Zhang Heng nodded, his eyes solemnly said: "Brother Mao, what should we do specifically?"

"When we get to Zhong Jiushan, we will be divided into four roads, and we will take a group every half an hour, spread out a little bit, and have a better chance of surviving. If I had my life back, it would be worthwhile for Ayuan to follow me. …I promised her to take care of her brother."

"Brother Mao..." As he said, several people in this car choked. Meticulous work has always been the most difficult task. In addition to completing the task at all costs, I am always afraid that my home will be gone after I go back.

For these people, the lives of the young and old are pinched in the hands of Emperor Yu. If they have a crooked mind, they can only wait to be slaughtered.

This time the loss is heavy. If your Majesty pursues it, they will inevitably have to pay off with their lives. If General Du can ask for them a word or two, there may be another way out...

After another bumpy road, to a very quiet place, Zhang Mao dragged Tang Wu out. He untied the sack and took off the rag that was stuck in her mouth.

Tang Wu didn't cry or make trouble. Zhang Mao raised his eyebrows and said unexpectedly: "You are obedient."

She had just sat up straight, still a little dizzy, and opened her eyes for a long time.

When she opened her eyes, she realized that the carriage was overcrowded, and besides her, there were seven big men.

At this time, a man sitting on her left suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch Tang Wu’s cheek, and said angrily: "Brother Mao, otherwise we will use her to comfort ourselves. Her man killed so many of our brothers, so we should Spoil his spoiled concubine!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Mao said.

"I know that Brother Mao wanted to dedicate her to your majesty, but your majesty is not like a woman. This is a well-known thing in the whole country. Our first beauty in Taiyu, Su Qi, can't see it. The person you have seen is a queen, can she be seen by your majesty if she has been ridden by someone?" This person sternly said.

"She can't get into your Majesty's eyes, and there are also General Du's eyes! Put away those thoughts!"

Zhang Mao's words directly caused silence in the carriage.

Yes, it is good that Emperor Yu is not close to female sex, but Du Qiang, the general protector of the country, is not. The so-called hero is saddened by the beauty gate, the black-faced general who kills people like hemp, and loves the beauty alone is also famous.

Hearing these words, Tang Wu's heart just picked up can be regarded as letting go.

Although she is now behind bars, she has not yet entered the border of Dayu anyway. As long as these men don't touch her, she will have a chance to save herself.

After a while, Tang Wu turned her head to Zhang Mao, and said word by word: "That is a woman named A Yuan, is this your wife?"

It is said that the most expensive piece of clothing in this world is this human skin.

Tang Wu’s hair bun is already messed up, and the dust on the sack is rubbed on her face. It stands to reason that this should have been no different from the women doing farm work in the market, but because her skin is too white, she is set at this moment. At first glance, it is even more unique.

The wandering beauties, the wives of the rich and powerful, the pitiful expressions and the mellow tones all made these men look straight.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Mao said.

"Concubine is thinking, why don't you find someone to stay and use your concubine to exchange your wife back?"

After hearing this, Zhang Mao was stunned, and his hands shook. He immediately covered his eyes with great tears.

He had never thought of such a deal! But they can only succeed until New Year's Eve... But his Yuan! Can't wait for New Year's Eve!

Besides, if he selfishly replaces A Yuan, what should the rest of the people do?

When talking about A Yuan, everyone put away their charming thoughts. One of the men said to Tang Wu: "What can you understand if you are spoiled in the yard by others?"

The carriage traveled all the way to the north, and the wind was harsh, Tang Wu looked sideways at the raised window screens, and then whispered in a low voice: "When my concubine was ten years old, it was like today, and I still have time to eat in the future. She was sold in sack by her biological parents, eating and sleeping, precarious, and discussing life under the hands of people, the concubine also knows.” After that, Tang Wu also deliberately shed a drop of tears.

She doesn't understand the intrigue on the battlefield. She only knows that she can't escape now. If she doesn't lower her posture, she may not even have to drink her saliva.

Sure enough, as soon as her words fell, the expressions of these men changed again.

After a while of silence, Zhang Mao said silently: "You may be innocent, but we have no choice... Besides, with your beauty, even if your majesty does not want you, General Du will not treat you badly. As long as you stay focused on us in the future The woman of Dayu naturally won't have the day when there is windy meal and sleepless night." After speaking, he said to Zhang Heng again: "Bring her some water."

Tang Wu took a kettle with his tied hands and looked at it in silence for a long time.

…

After rushing for five days in a row, there were only seven people left in this group.

For the remaining forty-one people, some have made bait, some have died in pursuit...

Only a few of them have stepped into the border of Dayu.

On the way, Tang Wu was also honest and didn't say anything to offend them. At this moment, they had regarded Tang Wu as Du Qian's concubine in the future.

She was allowed to come here to eat and drink, and even to watch her bathe, she arrested a woman...

—

According to the information they received so far, His Majesty was not in the imperial city, but camped in Jingzhou in Dayu. After such news came, their temporary silence was broken.

Because Jingzhou is only a few minutes away from their location.

Tang Wu forbeared all the way, knowing that she had no chance of escape, and finally couldn't help it.

That night, she stole a dagger from Zhang Heng while they were asleep.

As soon as Zhang Heng opened his eyes, he saw Tang Wu pressing the dagger against her own snow-white neck.

Tang Wu thought for a long time, and felt that they were able to give up so many brothers' lives just for her alone, so it must be her life that is the most valuable.

Sure enough, Zhang Heng's eyes turned green as soon as she saw her neck bleeding.

"What are you doing! Just put it down! You are a girl, as long as a man loves you, who are you not with! Besides, the country of Yan has long been squandered by your first emperor, and there is only one empty shell left. Sooner or later, the country will be destroyed. The matter! You came to Dayu, this is a blessing!" Zhang Heng yelled.

At this moment, everyone else woke up too.

Tang Wu was really scared at this time. The fear of the knife against her neck made her hands tremble constantly. She stroked her neck as if she had no pain, and she screamed with tears: "You let go I can't go! Even if you catch me, I won't follow it. Maybe one day, I will kill your majesty and your general as I am today!"

Seeing that she had collapsed, Zhang Mao quietly walked around from behind. He was really afraid that she would scratch him, so he quickly pulled her arm away from the back.

With a bang, the dagger fell to the ground.

Tang Wu turned his head and scratched Zhang Mao's face severely, and three blood channels appeared directly on his face.

"If it can relieve you, you can scratch my face, as long as you don't touch the knife, you can do anything." Zhang Mao said.

These few days of getting along has not only made Tang Wu feel painful, but also Zhang Mao's pain. He even regretted a little bit about why he changed Princess Ying with her. If he had brought Princess Ying today, his heart would definitely not become a mess.

In the next instant, Tang Wu's face was damp, and she sank to the ground lifelessly.

Ask yourself, in fact, she doesn't know where else she can go.

In the past few days, she has been eating and living with a group of strange men.

Besides, the princess will not let her go...

—

This is the border of Jingzhou, surrounded by ruined walls. When they arrived here, the sunset glow on the horizon had been swallowed by the continuous ridges behind Jingzhou.

Zhang Mao showed the token and knelt outside the imperial account first, while Zhang Heng pressed Tang Wu to kneel on the other side.

Tang Wu looked down at the brown and black ground and the withered weeds under her knees. She couldn't believe it. After a few short months, she was mercilessly taken away by God. NS…

"Your Majesty, Zhang Mao and his party begged to see you outside, and brought a woman." Meng Sheng said, the guard next to Xiao Yin.

After sitting in the high case, Xiao Yin looked down at a letter that had just been sent. After a long time, he slowly raised his head.

He slowly said: "Why, want to use a woman to punish crime?"

The silver lamp in the tent flickered, and a beam of light shone on his face.

Quite different from his handsome appearance are his unruly eyes.

The squalid and fierceness in his eyes made it impossible for people to look at him at all.

It is said that if a person has more blood on his hands, the hostility will increase. For example, around Xiao Yin's bedroom, all year round, except for the parrot he loves, he really can't even see a creature that can call. There was once a folk Taoist who was not afraid of death gave him orders, saying that he was a lifelong lonely family...

Meng Sheng walked to his side, poured the empty cup on the table with tea, and handed it to Xiao Yin, "Your Majesty, Zhang Mao said that the woman is the concubine of King Yan Guoying."

Xiao Yin took it, lowered his eyes and took a sip: "Since it is related to the Kingdom of Yan, then ask someone to take her to General Du."

Meng Sheng knew what the result would be if it was sent to the general protector of the country. But when he thought that the woman kneeling outside was very similar to the person in the paintings of His Royal Highness, he had to bite the bullet and said: "The subordinate just took a look at the woman... She is really similar to the empress."

Xiao Yin couldn't help but sneered. Since beating him, the ministers of the Central Government have been admonishing with death, saying that this is ridiculous. If you don't want to be stigmatized, you should choose a concubine as soon as possible.

But Xiao Yin has always turned a deaf ear to these calls.

In the end, seeing resistance, the ministers had no choice but to look like the woman in the picture, and found several similar people. But in the end, they were all sent back.

Meng Sheng had seen His Majesty look angry about this matter. If it wasn't for the woman outside who had nine points, no, it was exactly the same, he wouldn't dare to say this!

At this moment, a woman's voice happened to be heard outside, "I am not a citizen of your Da Yu, then why should I kneel!"

Outside the tent, she just finished shouting, everyone looked at her like a madman. The imperial front is disrespectful, does she want everyone to bury her?

In the imperial tent, as soon as her voice fell, the tea cup in Xiao Yin's hand fell to the ground with a "pop".

Xiao Yin's face looking at the world instantly disappeared. He got up like a dead body, opened the curtain of the camp, and looked forward.

At this glance, he seemed to feel that there were thousands of nails, burrowing out of the soil, and fixing his whole person in place.

Xiao Yin thought about the scene of reunion with her thousands of times, but he didn't guess that she would be just like this, and he caught him off guard and appeared in front of him.

She is still her, even the appearance of the tantrum is the same.

His eyes were scarlet, and in an inaudible voice, he muttered to himself: Auntie, I miss you so much.
