Chapter 282 Chapter 282 Convinced

The wind and snow became more and more fierce, and the biting cold wind shook the branches violently, howling incessantly.

The surrounding people could only wait patiently for the Jin Jin Yiwei to leave the city one after another without daring to complain.

Wuhajialou pressed his hat again, glanced at a horse-drawn cart across the street, and walked in the other direction.

There was a heavy wine barrel on the cart. The driver wearing a bamboo hat and raincoat was sipping the wine from the wine bag. His thick beard almost covered most of his face. His figure was slightly stooped, and he was covered in wine. The aura was so strong that it made some people around him retreat.

It was obviously a cold winter with snow and wind, but the five Hao people hiding in the wine barrels were already sweating profusely.

Half an hour ago, they were rescued from the Jin Yiwei by a group of people. One of them, who called himself Bichawen, said that they were hidden stooges lurking in the capital and came to rescue them on the orders of the King of Andaman.

In addition to him, the King of Andaman also sent Yala back to Beijing from Xiyuan Palace to meet him. Now they need to meet Yala as soon as possible.

Due to time constraints, Jinyiwei would definitely search the city, so Bichawen didn't have time to say more, saying that he wanted to escape from the capital first and then discuss other matters.

Bichawen's Hao language was very standard, and his accent was that of a Hao person, which was different from those Qi people who were proficient in Hao language. Moreover, he also took out the token of the King of Andaman County as a token, and they followed his instructions. Hidden in a wine barrel.

They couldn't see outside, so they could only hear the voices of passers-by from outside. They knew that they were about to leave the city, and they also knew that the Jin Yiwei was coming.

Separated by a layer of wine barrels, the sound of horse hooves was still so loud, and the voices of passers-by were still chattering:

"What are the Jin Yiwei doing in such a big formation?"

"What can Jin Yiwei do? Either ransack the house or capture the criminal."

"I just heard from a guard in uniform that there was a wanted criminal on the loose..."

“…”

Suddenly, a cold and sharp male voice interrupted the discussion displeasedly: "The Jin Yiwei is handling the case. How can you criticize it? The rest of the people are waiting to leave as soon as possible!"

The few Hao people hiding in the wine barrels couldn't help but hold their breath, and their hearts suddenly lifted.

In this small wine barrel, their heartbeats were extremely clear.

thumping! thumping! thumping!

Soon, the sound of horse hooves outside became distant, and someone outside shouted to everyone to line up and leave the city.

They could feel the carriage starting to move in the direction outside the city again. After a while, the carriage continued to move forward again, getting faster and faster...

They should have left the city smoothly and reunited with several other Hao people who participated in the rescue.

A line of carriages and horses galloped forward, accompanied by the sound of whips. The wine barrels they were in were shaking slightly due to the movement of the carriages. Occasionally, several wine barrels collided with each other.

The Hao people hiding in the wine barrel only felt that this small space was really uncomfortable. Not only could their limbs not stretch out, but it was also extremely stuffy.

The time became very painful.

But they are all well-trained elite soldiers, and they have been in even worse environments. They all remain silent and maintain absolute silence for fear of exposing their whereabouts.

After all, this is Daqi's territory, not Dahao's.

Suddenly, the carriage jolted violently, and then the frequency of whip waving became faster, and the speed of the carriage also increased, getting faster and faster.

"Pa bang bang..."

They could vaguely hear Bichawen's rapid and heavy breathing outside.

"...Catching up." Bichawen's voice was a little hoarse.

Another Hao man outside also echoed nervously, saying: "Hurry up!"

Several Hao people hiding in the wine barrel were also infected with this nervous mood, and they thought to themselves: Could it be that the Jin Yiwei realized something was wrong later, so they turned around and caught up? !

The carriage kept accelerating and ran wildly, and the cart shook even more.

Even so, the rapid sound of horse hooves from behind is getting closer and closer...

"parking!"

"Jinyiwei is handling the case, why don't you stop quickly!"

A rough male voice accompanied by the sound of horse hooves clearly penetrated the wine barrel, so domineering.

The carriage stopped amid the neighing of the horses.

"I don't know what Master Jun is doing..."

Bichawen asked politely in Qi language. Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the other party: "Stop pretending, you are from Hao country, aren't you?!"

"What's in your carriage? Get out of the carriage quickly, we want to search it!"

The other party asked questions again and again, and his tone was very rude.

Bi Chawen said again: "I am a Hao person. I was ordered by the envoy King Andaman to go to the hunting ground. This is my token."

"You guys are acting suspiciously, kill me!" a rough male voice said coldly.

There were sounds of drawing swords, and someone outside shouted in Hao language: "Bichawen, you go first! Let's break up the rear!"

Then, the carriage they were in continued to drive forward, and there were shouts of killing and the sound of swords from behind, and there was murderous intent.

Several Hao people hiding in the wine barrel also wanted to go out and fight the enemy together, but the wine barrel was sealed with a lid, and they had been hiding in the wine barrel for too long, and their limbs were a little numb. When the carriage was speeding, the carriage and the wine barrel shook violently. They were shaking like a lone boat on a stormy night...

Suddenly, the carriage shook violently, and the whole carriage turned over. The wine barrels also rolled off the carriage, and the few Hao people hiding in the barrels were spinning...

After several loud noises, the wine barrel they were in was knocked to pieces, and finally the eyes became bright.

The snow is still falling and the wind is still howling.

The surrounding area was a mess, with fragments of wine barrels everywhere and a truck that had been smashed into pieces after overturning.

The five Hao people were all in a miserable state. Some had bruises on their foreheads and elbows, some had messy hair, and some had a tooth knocked out...

"Bichawen, you...how are you?"

One of the hook-nosed Hao people shouted excitedly.

Only then did several other Hao people notice that Bi Chawen was pressed under a boulder, and he vomited a mouthful of blood from the corner of his mouth. Blood was also covered under his body, and it quickly dyed a large area of ​​snow below red, which was shocking.

Judging from the amount of blood he was bleeding, it was obvious that his life was in danger...or that he could not be saved.

One of the Hao people said with a bit of unbearability: "Brother, if you keep patiently, we will move the stone away..."

"No, no need." Bi Chawen, who was pressed under the rock, only said three words, and then vomited out another mouthful of blood, and the blood dripped from his mouth, "I...I can't do it anymore...you...leave quickly!"

"Hurry up and make peace with Yela!"

"Definitely..."

The sound of horse hooves from behind was approaching, getting louder and louder, the pursuers were coming soon.

Hook-nosed and the other Hao people looked at each other. They had no weapons and were weak after being locked up in prison for several days. It was impossible for them to face off against the Jin Yiwei head-on.

The hook-nosed man gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!"

The five people left quickly and hid in a gloomy forest nearby.

The cold wind brought large swaths of snowflakes, blowing the trees like crazy, making the five fleeing Hao people breathless and speechless.

All they can do is keep running, running, running.

However, the pursuers in the rear were too difficult to deal with. Sometimes they thought they could get rid of them through the cover of the terrain, but after a while, they would appear again in the rear, and they could not get rid of them like dog-skin plaster.

They didn't dare to stop for a moment and ran forward with all their strength.

At some point, the gray-blue sky above changed color, and the sky gradually became darker and darker, so heavy that it seemed to be weighing on their heads.

When it got dark, Hook Nose stopped panting, and said to his companions: "Let's... take a break... we should get rid of it."

There was a thick inky black behind, and the heavy snow reduced the surrounding visibility, and the surroundings were quiet.

There was no sound except their gasps.

The others also looked in the direction they came from and listened for a while. They were relieved that there was no sound of pursuing soldiers.

Hook-nosed regained his composure slightly, and wanted to say that they had to make peace with Ye La as soon as possible. Before he could say anything, another Hao man screamed: "It seems like someone is coming over there!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to a trail outside the woods to the west.

The hook-nosed first reaction was to suspect that Jin Yiwei was catching up, but after thinking about it again, he felt that the direction was wrong. The Jin Yiwei should be at the back, but these people from the west came from the front.

"Hide first!"

The hooked nose gave an order, and they carefully hid behind some big trees and rocks, hiding their figures.

Gradually, the three people coming from the west were getting closer and closer. All three of them were riding horses. The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe. Although he was wearing Daqi clothes, he had a hooked nose and five Hao people. People recognized the other person as a Hao person at a glance, and he was also an acquaintance of them.

"Yeah!"

The hooked nose shouted in surprise at the visitor.

Since they were one of their own, Hook Nose and the others stopped hiding and hurried out of the woods, waving to the intruders.

The three people in Yela were also surprised when they saw someone blocking the road and pulled the reins.

The three horses suddenly stopped and puffed out several times.

"Pushin, you...why are you here?!" Yela, who was riding a brown horse, looked at the five embarrassed people in front of him in shock.

Yala also knew that Pushen and the others were captured by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division. The reason why the King of Andaman asked him to rush back to the capital was also for this matter. However, how did Pushen and the others escape from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division? Already?

Judging from their embarrassed and injured appearance, you can tell that they most likely escaped, and it was very difficult to escape.

"Quick, drink some water first, I still have some dry food here."

Yela quickly handed the water bags to Pushen and the others in person, and distributed some dry food to them, thinking to wait for them to take a breath before talking in detail.

However, something unexpected happened.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Bursts of sound breaking through the air mixed with the sound of wind and the swaying of branches and leaves suddenly sounded. Countless arrows were densely shot from the woods on the other side of the trail. The arrows rained down, tearing through the night wind with murderous intent.

"Be careful, there's an ambush!" Yela shouted with a changed expression.

Before he finished speaking, a Hao man behind Yela was shot in the head by an arrow. The tip of the arrow entered his ear and penetrated his head in one fell swoop. Blood and brain matter spattered out.

Before the Hao man could figure out what was going on, he stiffened his body and slowly fell from his horse. His eyes were wide open, and the whites of his eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and he refused to close his eyes. Pushen, who looked pale and weak, then said: "Jin Yiwei, it's the Jin Yiwei who are chasing us. They are chasing us all the way!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

More feather arrows were shot, and the sky was covered with arrows.

A strong smell of blood filled the air in the night wind, accompanied by the sounds of people wailing, groaning, and falling horses, which was tragic and desperate.

"Hoo **** ho!"

The cold wind became more fierce, and so did the heavy snow, swallowing up those shrill sounds in the wind and snow.

It snowed heavily all night and then stopped again.

The next day, the snow fell and the sky cleared, and the fragrance of plum blossoms overflowed. It was already the fifth day of winter hunting.

Early in the morning, a letter from the capital was delivered to Gu Jue.

Thinking that Chu Qianchen had been looking forward to the progress of this matter, Gu Jue finished reading the letter and went around to the back of the palace to find Chu Qianchen.

After a night of heavy snow, there is already a snow-white world outside. The thick snow on the corrugations, branches, wall piers, and ground is reflected by the sunlight, making it crystal clear and covered in silver.

Gu Jue walked straight towards a small red plum forest in the northwest of the courtyard.

Clusters of red plum blossoms are piled on the green branches. The flowers are small and carved, blooming quietly in the cold wind. The more wind and snow pressure, the more delicate the plum blossoms bloom, and the fragrant and refreshing plum fragrance carries with the wind. Coming...

In the forest, a girl wearing a bright red cape trimmed with white mink fur was concentrating on sweeping the white snow on the plum blossoms with a brush, one after another, carefully sweeping the snow into a small urn in her hand.

The breeze blew slowly, and the red plum trees were swaying, and occasionally a few petals fell.

Gu Jue walked towards her slowly. Even though he deliberately stepped lightly, his short boots still made a slight "crunching" sound on the soft snow.

When Chu Qianchen heard the sound, he immediately stopped his hand, turned to look at him, and smiled sweetly.

"Your Majesty," Chu Qianchen held the small urn and waved to him, "I've almost finished sweeping the snow. I'll make tea with the snow water for you later."

The golden sunshine after the snow gently caressed her face, giving her a faint golden halo.

The girl's skin is like gelatin, her lips are like cherry blossoms, her black pupils seem to have stars flowing through her, and her smile is so beautiful that even the delicate red plums behind her are eclipsed.

Looking at the beauty under the flowers is touching.

Gu Jue smiled slightly, and what Chu Qianchen said early in the morning rang in his ears: "The snow has stopped, I have to go to the plum forest to clear the snow. The water from the new snow melt has the fragrance of plum blossoms. It can not only make tea, but also make porridge and relieve fever." Quench your thirst."

This little girl is easy to take care of, but she is also very particular about it.

This is true for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

For example, the deerskin gloves they wore. After picking wild mushrooms two days ago, she said that the leather of the deerskin gloves was not soft enough, the cuffs were a little long, and it was difficult to move while wearing them. She planned to improve the deerskin gloves. In the past two days, she not only measured the She knew the size of his hands and drew several drawings of new gloves, saying that she wanted to make a pair of gloves for him first.

"Isn't it cold?" Gu Jue quickly walked to Chu Qianchen's side. Seeing that her ten slender jade fingers were a little red from the cold, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Chu Qianchen: "Cold!"

Amber took the small urn and brush from Chu Qianchen's hand with a very discerning eye, then took one step back, and then another.

Gu Jue held Chu Qianchen's cold fingers in his palms and covered her hands.

Chu Qianchen felt that his hands were too cold and he was afraid of freezing Gu Jue. He was about to struggle when he heard Gu Jue say: "I just received a letter from Fei Ge from the capital..."

"What should I say?" Chu Qianchen's eyes lit up and his attention was suddenly diverted.

So, will she finally get to hear "Next Time Breakdown"? !

With a smile in his eyes, Gu Jue hid Chu Qianchen's hand in his wide sleeves and continued casually: "Yesterday morning, the five Hao people detained in the Wucheng Bingma Division were taken away by Lu Siji on the emperor's order. , but on the way back to Fusi, Beizhen, he was kidnapped by another group of Hao people."

Chu Qianchen chuckled happily.

She could imagine that Lu Siji must be in a state of confusion now. Jin Yiwei had lost all his face this time!

Lu Siji would never have thought that it was the people from Wuhejialou who took action to kidnap the prisoners.

Although the late Emperor Nan Hao died, Wu Hejialou, as the eldest prince of Nan Hao, already had some connections and hidden connections.

These people only obey the orders of Wuhajia Tower and hide in secret places without being known by others.

They held Adaman's token and disguised themselves as Uhadura's hidden stakes lurking in the capital. In that chaotic and urgent situation, they were enough to gain the trust of the five Hao people.

And when the time is right, the people from Prince Chen's Palace will lead the Jin Yiwei to the west city gate, and then let the five Hao people hiding in the wine barrel hear the Jin Yiwei's voice, and they will naturally be "chased by the Jin Yiwei". Believe it or not.

Everything went smoothly.

Seeing her smiling happily, Gu Jue calmly took her hand and walked back, and continued: "Last night, they met up with Yela on the road, and were ambushed again. There was only one named Pushen. Haoren rolled down the hillside and narrowly escaped."

The pursuers who chased the five Hao people last night were sent by Gu Jue. They deliberately led the five Hao people to make peace with Yela. They also deliberately let Pu Shen alive after the ambush, just to Let the other party think that Jin Yiwei is chasing their Hao people, and kill them all.

Gu Jue spoke concisely and concisely as usual, and even if he finished speaking in a few words, he only talked about what happened on the surface.

As for the secrets behind the scenes, Chu Qianchen could understand them even if he didn't tell them. Gu Jue didn't hide them from her when he arranged this situation.

"Then what?" Chu Qianchen asked, his pupils bright.

"Wait." Gu Jue said dryly, "Pushen is on his way to the hunting palace..." Pushen injured his leg when he rolled down the hillside. I'm afraid he won't reach the hunting palace that quickly.

Chu Qianchen blinked and continued to look at him, as if to say, what next?

Gu Jue had nothing to say. He coughed lightly and could only say: "I'll let someone go and take a look."

Chu Qianchen pursed his lips and smiled, sighing in his heart: It seems that there was nothing wrong with the monk.

She couldn't help but muttered: "It's really troublesome!"

If something "goes wrong" in Wuhejia Tower, then the prince can leave him alone.

Chu Qianchen said these three words without any beginning or end, but Gu Jue could vaguely guess it and touched her head with a smile.

"Can I make tea?" he asked coaxing the little girl.

Chu Qianchen immediately forgot all about those trivial matters and nodded repeatedly: "Okay!"

She most likes to drink the tea brewed by the prince.

This time, it was Chu Qianchen who held Gu Jue's hand and walked back, as if he was afraid that he would regret it.

Gu Jue responded casually, but what he was thinking about was where to take the little girl to play tomorrow.

In three days, they would have to return to the capital. Da Qi's ancestral clan was not allowed to leave the capital without any reason. At that time, they could only take her for outings and boating in the suburbs.

Gu Jue searched his memory. He had been to Xiyuan Hunting Palace many times before and was very familiar with the surrounding area. He immediately remembered that Xiping Town, the closest town to the Hunting Palace, was not prosperous, but it was still interesting.

"Tomorrow, can I take you to Xiping Town to play?"

"good!"

How could Chu Qianchen go against his good luck? He deserved to be happy.

In the next two days, the two ditched the servants and maids and went to Xiping Town and nearby villages to have fun.

On the afternoon of November 17, when they returned from Xiping Town, Jingfeng, who was guarding the gate of Zichen Palace, ran over and reported, "The King of Andaman County and his two entourages have just left the hunting palace."

Gu Jue's people keep an eye on Andaman every day. In the past few days, Andaman has never left the Hunting Palace. He has only visited the Chongming Palace to visit the emperor several times.

"He's here? He came really fast." Chu Qianchen blinked and murmured softly. He couldn't remember the name of the living person at the moment.

She originally thought that the living person was injured and would not be able to travel. I was afraid that they would have to meet someone on the way back to Beijing.

Jingfeng nodded and replied: "The King of Andaman County has just received a secret letter."

Indeed, the King of Andaman County hurried out of the hunting palace after receiving the secret message from Pushen.

Andaman hurried all the way to Xiping Town. According to the code left at the entrance of the town, he found a quiet and deserted alley, leaving two of his followers to guard the entrance of the alley.

A man with a hooked nose walked out of an abandoned pig shed. He was unkempt, his clothes were in tatters, and his wounds were only hastily bandaged. His whole body exuded an unpleasant odor, with some The smell of blood.

"Pushin..." Andaman blurted out.

Of course he recognized Pushen, who was left in Beijing by him to take charge of Uhagal Tower.

Pushen knelt down directly, his slightly sinister triangular eyes suddenly turned red, and said in Hao words: "Your Majesty, this subordinate is not doing well." His voice was hoarse like sandpaper.

Andaman's heart sank and he felt chills all over.

From the moment he received the secret message, he knew something was wrong.

Now looking at Pushen's embarrassed look, Andaman realized that things might be worse than he expected.

Pushen clenched his fists and trembled with difficulty: "The prince, Bi Chawen... also pulled them... they all died, in the hands of Jin Yiwei."

When he mentioned the three words "Jinyiwei", Pushen gritted his teeth and became filled with hatred.

What? ! Andaman's eyes were so wide open that he stared at Pushin in disbelief.

He was also dead, even Bichawen was dead!

Bichawen was Uhaduluo's secret stake in the capital for many years. After Andaman entered the capital, he contacted Bichawen and the others. His original intention was to let them support his actions. Unexpectedly, Bichawen and the others actually They all died in the hands of Jin Yiwei.

Andaman felt a dull pain in his forehead. He could imagine that when he returned to the Kingdom of Hao, Emperor Hao Duluo would be furious... Unless he could capture the Uhagal Tower, he could offset his mistakes and make up for his mistakes.

He took a few deep breaths, calmed down a little, and said to Pushen: "Tell me the whole story in detail."

Pushen's voice was still a little tight as he recalled: "That night we set a fire next door to Prince Chen's Mansion. Later, through the chaos, we climbed over the wall to Prince Chen's Mansion, and I saw the big... Wuhajia Tower!"

Gu Jue actually dared to do this! Andaman was shocked again, feeling that this was indeed the case.

In any case, after sacrificing so many people, we finally got a little gain, and finally found Uhagal Tower.

Andaman's mood was complicated. Shock, joy, irritability, anger, worry...all kinds of emotions were mixed, rushing through his heart one after another.

Pushen continued: "The defense of Prince Chen's Palace is too tight. We originally wanted to explore, but we were discovered by the guards of the Palace. They were so numerous that we couldn't escape, so we were captured."

Pushen lowered his head in shame, "At that time, people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division were on patrol at night, so the five of us were handed over to them and imprisoned in the Nancheng Military and Horse Division. No one interrogated us in those days. At that time, I thought it was because we were Hao people and they planned to wait until the Emperor of Qi returned to Beijing to deal with it. "

"I didn't expect that on the morning of the 14th, we would suddenly be handed over to the Jin Yiwei by the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division..."
