When Qin Xiaolou was unconscious, someone covered his head with something, and then someone kept shaking him, making him want to vomit.But soon it stopped shaking, and turned into bumps again, causing pain in his waist and abdomen, but he was powerless to resist.

When he woke up, his eyes could not see clearly due to the effect of the medicine, and he only vaguely realized that he was in a strange tent.His first reaction was that he had fallen for Wu Bing, but he immediately dismissed the idea—the problem should be the glass of wine, and going to Wu Bing by himself was impromptu, and Wu Bing couldn't have done it on purpose Prepare a jug of drugged wine and wait for him.If it wasn't for the momentary depression in my heart, under common sense, I shouldn't touch the pot of wine.

He felt someone walking beside him, and then heard a deep male voice begin to speak.At first, he felt that the man's speech was very vague, and the speed of his speech was too fast, so that he couldn't hear what the man said at all.However, he quickly realized that the man was not speaking Chinese at all, but Jurchen.

The person who spoke was Wan Yanzhao, whom Qin Xiaolou had only heard of until now.He said: "I asked you to rob Wu Yi and bring him back, how did you bring him back?"

Qin Xiaolou had learned some Jurchen language because of the war, but he could only understand the general idea, not fully understand it.

Another person in the room fell to his knees and chattered a lot, mainly to admit his mistake to Wan Yanzhao.

At this time, Qin Xiaolou's mind was completely clear.It turned out that Wan Yanzhao jumped over the wall in a hurry and sent a secret agent to capture Wu Yi, but unexpectedly, he was caught by accident.And the shaking he felt should be crossing a river, and the bumps were riding a horse.

He was suddenly relieved, because if Wu Yi was really taken into captivity, with his character, he might have surrendered before the whip came down.

Wan Yanzhao said a few more words with his followers, and then walked to Qin Xiaolou's side.Qin Xiaolou had figured out the ins and outs of the matter, so he pretended to be asleep and opened his eyes.

Wan Yanzhao called him by his name in slightly awkward Chinese: "Qin Xiaolou."

Qin Xiaolou forced a smile: "His Royal Highness."

Wan Yanzhao frowned and looked at him, his eyes were full of novelty and annoyance - the reason why he brought Wu Yi back was because he admired Wu Yi's talent from the bottom of his heart, so he wanted to use it for himself.It is not easy to rob a military division in the enemy's barracks.Wan Yanzhao originally wanted to find someone to assassinate Wu Yi.He exhausted the last few contacts buried in Mu's army to investigate Wu Yi's work and rest, and found that he often hid in the camp or sneaked out to drink, and when he drank secretly, he would order all the guards to leave.Wan Yanzhao felt that this was an opportunity he could take advantage of, and his love for talents made him more inclined to recruit this military prodigy as his subordinate than to take Wu Yi's life.What he didn't expect was that this time the hijacking operation was successful, but it turned out that the wrong person was hijacked.Wan Yanzhao has already used up all the chess pieces in his hand, and has already started to scare the enemy. The people in Mu's camp must have strengthened their defenses. As for Wu Yi, assassination or hijacking is already impossible.Wan Yanzhao felt very sorry for this.

Of course, bringing back a Qin Xiaolou was a big gain, although it was a little worse than what he had expected.He has heard Qin Xiaolou's name for a long time, but now that he sees him, just looking at his appearance and demeanor, he really feels that his reputation is well-deserved.

Wan Yanzhao originally planned to win over Wu Yi, but now he naturally intends to win over Qin Xiaolou.Not to mention Qin Xiaolou's talent, Qin Xiaolou and Zhao Pingzhen are so close, they must know a lot of secrets.However, as soon as he saw Qin Xiaolou's reaction when he woke up, he knew that Qin Xiaolou was definitely not so easy to bribe.

He said: "When Zhao Pingzhen guarded Yingtian Mansion, you were there."

He used an affirmative tone, obviously he had already investigated it clearly before.Qin Xiaolou pondered for a moment, wondering if his answer still made sense.

Wan Yanzhao made a detailed plan to buy Wu Yi before robbing people, but now that he has robbed the wrong person, he has to change his plan.He ordered someone to serve Qin Xiaolou with delicious food and drink, and he went to find someone to discuss the countermeasures.

Qin Xiaolou was placed under house arrest for two days.

In the past two days, he thought a lot, thinking about Zhao Pingzhen, Qin Chengxue, Prime Minister Wang, and Gu Xiaojun.It would be a lie to say that he is not afraid at all, Zhao Pingzhen once said that Qin Xiaolou is the person who is most afraid of death.But when he had an idea, he suddenly became open-minded—by mistake, everything was by mistake.He saw through the fine work of the Jinren by mistake, it was Zhao Pingzhen who never stopped; it was also a mistake that he was mistaken for Wu Yi and captured here, it was God who wanted to train him; if he died this time, it was His lifespan should be exhausted; if he does not die this time, it means that his time has not yet come in the book of life and death.

Qin Xiaolou used to be a person who didn't believe in fate, but the more he grew up, the more he felt that fate was mysterious and wonderful.

Two days later, Wan Yanzhao came to see him again and brought a set of chess.

Wan Yanzhao said: "I have admired Han culture since I was a child, especially the game of Go. There are not many good Go players in my Kingdom of Jin. This has always been my regret. I wonder if Brother Qin would like to accompany me in the next game?"

Qin Xiaolou said unhurriedly: "Your Excellency admires the culture of our Han people, why don't you hold it in awe, but destroy it with swords and spears?"

Wan Yanzhao was not angry, and smiled with a good temper: "I didn't destroy, but wanted to absorb. I sent someone to negotiate with your emperor, but I heard that the people headed by you and your Royal Highness King Rui refused. He accepted my proposal and insisted that our two countries meet in arms."

Qin Xiaolou was really amused by his hooligan remarks, but he didn't show it.The two seem to have better self-cultivation than the other, and they are not angry no matter what the other party says.

Qin Xiaolou took over his chess game, made it even on a few cases, took the white pieces himself, and motioned for Wan Yanzhao to go first: "Your Excellency has studied Han culture, why haven't you learned the spirit of my Han people? My Han country is vast and vast." A big country pays attention to 'harmony' and hates invasion and plunder. Throughout history, we have always resisted foreign aggression and never actively invaded foreign nations."

Wan Yanzhao placed a piece on the chessboard, and said: "'Death to Qilian Mountain will make my six animals live. Losing to Yanzhi Mountain will make my women colorless.'"

Qin Xiaolou knew that he was referring to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so he said unhurriedly: "It was the Huns who first attacked me as a strong man. This is the retribution they deserve for despising us."

Wan Yanzhao smiled again: "The strong prey on the weak is also a famous saying of your Han people."

Qin Xiaolou dropped a child and said: "The benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise sees wisdom. What kind of person you are, your eyes can only see what kind of words."

Wan Yanzhao shrugged, twisted a piece and drew a virtual circle in the corner of the chessboard, and said: "Just like this game of chess, with golden corners and silver borders and straw belly. Your country Mu occupies the position in the heart, and it seems that you are sitting and enjoying yourself." Gold and silver, the so-called great country, is actually just a pile of grass. Someone must take care of it and turn it into real gold and silver. Those who can do it."

Qin Xiaolou said leisurely: "Your Excellency is really conceited. If you really have this talent, you can take a look at the land we plundered by you - how many of them are still half of what they used to be?"

Wan Yanzhao's face darkened slightly.He thought he was lenient enough to the Han people, but he didn't expect that the Han people were unwilling to live under the control of foreign races, and a large number of refugees fled every day.Moreover, Wan Yanzhao also had a hard time controlling and reconciling the conflicts between races. Although he explicitly prohibited his subordinates from massacring Han Chinese at will, people violated the prohibition every day.Rape, robbery and other incidents happened from time to time, and the population of the cities of Mu State in his hands often dropped by half in less than a year.He said: "Give me enough time, I can prove everything."

Qin Xiaolou smiled without saying a word, the smile was full of irony.

After a game of chess is over, about four-fifths of the chessboard is filled with white stones, which can be seen at a glance without even needing ideas.Wan Yanzhao said modestly: "Brother Qin is really good at chess."

Qin Xiaolou was not polite: "This is natural. This is my Han culture."

Seeing that he was extremely sharp about racial differences, Wan Yanzhao couldn't help but frowned and said ironically, "Brother Qin said that you Han people are open-minded, why can't I feel it from Brother Qin?"

Qin Xiaolou smiled slightly, and said word by word: "Someone once said that I am too narrow-minded. This is my personal problem, and has nothing to do with the Han people."

Seeing that his attitude was extremely firm, Wan Yanzhao had no choice but to walk away.

After he left, Qin Xiaolou let out a long sigh of relief—he was afraid of death, and indeed he was very afraid of death, because he had to live to do many things.But in the past, when Zhao Pingzhen asked him about Dingyuanhou, although what he said deliberately followed Zhao Pingzhen's meaning, it was indeed what he said from the bottom of his heart.

Qin Xiaolou hated the Jin people. When he saw the people fleeing due to the war, he would think of his childhood; when he was forced to flee his hometown and was chased and killed by the Jin people, he felt the pain!He felt that he might have to live for hatred all his life, and he would avenge the country's hatred and family hatred!

Afterwards, Wan Yanzhao came to win him over several times, in order to show his closeness, he would play chess with Qin Xiaolou every time.Qin Xiaolou was not polite, and would kill him every time.Wan Yanzhao obviously admired Qin Xiaolou very much, even though Qin Xiaolou's attitude was extremely firm, he never got angry.Qin Xiaolou admires his mind, but he will never have any good feelings for him—from this point of view, Qin Xiaolou is an extremely stubborn person.

Wan Yanzhao could also see Qin Xiaolou's stubbornness. Although he couldn't use it for himself, he was reluctant to kill him, so he was only under house arrest.

After more than a month like this, one day after Qin Xiaolou finished his breakfast, he heard hurried footsteps outside the house, and someone shouted in a low voice: "The battle is on, get ready!"

In fact, Qin Xiaolou has been secretly hoping that Zhao Pingzhen can fight across the river bank and rescue him.Although he would rather die than surrender to the golden man, he naturally hopes that things can have the best of both worlds.

Just as he was thinking in this room, a few soldiers rushed in from the other room, and without a word of explanation, they suddenly tied him up.Qin Xiaolou was taken aback, but he didn't struggle, and obediently allowed himself to be tied into a rice dumpling, feeling fearful and curious at the same time.

The Jin soldiers took him to an open space, where a cart with a cross stake was placed.Qin Xiaolou was tied to a stake, and he knew what Wan Yanzhao wanted to do.

When he crossed the cavalry phalanx and was pushed to the front of the Jin soldiers, and saw the Mu soldiers phalanx led by Zhao Pingzhen a hundred steps away, he suddenly wanted to laugh——Wan Yanzhao put him as the governor and coach His lover was tied up and thrown to the front of the battle. First, it hurt the morale of Mu Jun.Second, because of Zhao Pingzhen's temperament and concerns about the overall situation, he should do something that will make Qin Xiaolou give up on Mu Guo.This is really killing two birds with one stone.

I have to say that at this moment even Qin Xiaolou himself is very curious about what Zhao Pingzhen will do.

The vanguard troops of both sides began to call for battle, insulting each other with words, and those who wanted to provoke the other party would attack first.Apart from verbal provocations, the Jin soldiers had one more thing they could do this time - insult Qin Xiaolou.They splashed ink on Qin Xiaolou's body, beat Qin Xiaolou with a whip, and even two gold soldiers rushed up to untie Qin Xiaolou's crotch to pee.

However, Zhao Pingzhen was not in a hurry or annoyed, the army seemed to be rooted in the soil, motionless.But his gaze never left Qin Xiaolou from the beginning to the end.

Qin Xiaolou was still wearing the fox fur coat that Zhao Pingzhen had given him, probably because Wan Yanzhao hoped that this coat could touch Zhao Pingzhen's feelings, so he deliberately didn't take it off.For this reason, although the whip kept falling on Qin Xiaolou's body, the pain was not too severe, and he could still concentrate on flirting with Zhao Pingzhen from a distance.

Not long after, Zhao Pingzhen jumped off the horse, stretched out his hand, and someone immediately handed him an iron longbow.

Zhao Pingzhen finally took a deep look at Qin Xiaolou.This glance contained so many inexplicable things that Qin Xiaolou, who had always been as heartless as a rock, pulled his heart hard, but he himself attributed it to the fear of death—there was no doubt that the bow It was used to shoot him.

Zhao Pingzhen sank into his dantian, let out a loud shout, strung the arrow, and pulled the bowstring forcefully——In an instant, the shouting and cursing in front of the battle stopped, and almost everyone's eyes were focused on the arrow in Zhao Pingzhen's hand, either nervously or expecting to forget took a breath.

There were nearly two hundred steps between Qin Xiaolou and Zhao Pingzhen, which was beyond the range of ordinary bows and arrows.But Zhao Pingzhen is good at archery, and at this time, he poured his whole body's internal energy into his right arm, his hand trembled invisibly, and then he let go - only heard the sound of "嗖", the arrow that left the string went straight to Qin Xiaolou!

In an instant, time seemed to slow down. Qin Xiaolou watched the arrow move forward inch by inch, and countless images suddenly flashed in front of his eyes——

Zhao Pingzhen stood in the distance and watched him under the plum tree; Zhao Pingzhen sat in the carriage and watched him condescendingly; Zhao Pingzhen pushed him to Yang Tian's sword at a critical moment...

The little Qin Chengxue was crying in his arms; Qin Chengxue's pen was running, outlining his face; Qin Chengxue was standing in front of the corridor, peach blossoms fell all over the ground beside him...

Han Xuzhi sat on the beam and smiled at him; Han Xuzhi took him to fly in the sky; Han Xuzhi danced a sword in the yard...

At that moment, he thought of many people, and countless faces flashed before his eyes.He even thought of Gu Xiaojun, but before Gu Xiaojun's face could fully emerge in his mind, the cold point of the arrow had already scratched his face——the arrow brushed his face and nailed into the wooden stake behind him middle.

Qin Xiaolou's heartbeat almost stopped, and then started to beat rapidly and violently again, as if it was going to burst out of his chest.

At this time, all the phantoms he had just thought of disappeared, and a sentence that Zhao Pingzhen said suddenly appeared in his mind-"Although I am sloppy, I have never lost my ability to ride and shoot. The distance within a hundred steps is riding a horse. I can also shoot nine times out of ten. At a distance of fifty steps, if I can't shoot anyone, it's because I don't want him to die."

However, before he could think clearly, Zhao Pingzhen had re-strung his bow and fired the second arrow.

Qin Xiaolou closed his eyes, not daring to look any further.

The sound of the arrow piercing through the air sounded again, and Qin Xiaolou's mind went blank; the arrow wind with Zhao Pingzhen's internal force approached him, and his mind went blank; the sharp arrow pierced into his body, his mind went blank...

When the dull pain of tearing came from his chest, he finally had a thought: It's a pity that this fox fur coat...
