Horse on the World

Chapter 95 Captive
Nafu, the princess of the Bai nationality, and Nuoqia, the general, were not mentioned in the news because Li Qing had other plans, and the two of them were also hidden by Li Qing, and they were secretly imprisoned in the former general's mansion in Chong County. The mansion was originally built extremely strong and heavily guarded to ensure Li Qing's safety. Now that Li Qing has left, it is just right to imprison important criminals. When the gate is closed, the sentinel on the sentry tower turns around, and the crossbow arrows change direction. A natural prison.Some of the big trees that were transplanted back then have survived, and after a spring, they are now in full bloom, and in these forests, there are unexpectedly many mobile sentries.Along the way, Li Qing couldn't help sighing that when he lived here, the security was never so strict!

Li Qing didn't know that Jie Wei knew that there were two important people who were going to be locked up here, so he was very careful, for fear of making a mistake. I'm afraid I can't keep it.He just wished that people would surround the yard in a circle and stand close together one by one, so that he could feel at ease.

Following the steps all the way to the gate of the yard, a one-armed yamen servant greeted him. Seeing Li Qing, he couldn't help getting excited, trotted a few steps, and paid a military salute to Li Qing, saying, "Master General, Little Hou Wu greets you."

Seeing his appearance, Li Qing knew that he was a veteran who had retired from the army. Now he was working as a yamen servant in Chong County. He had always arranged very generous pensions for disabled soldiers, so that these people would not have to worry about their livelihood after they retired from the army. He thumped Hou Wu's chest, and said with a smile, "Well, it's okay, although he is no longer a soldier, but he is still very strong!" After being slapped by the general, Hou Wu couldn't speak easily when he was so excited, "Thank you...thank you, General ... The army cares about it, the little one is fine, since he was disabled and retired from the army, the general gave him a pension, and when he returned to the county, he gave him an errand. Now he is doing well, and he even got a wife. During the Chinese New Year this year , you can give me a baby.”

Li Qing laughed loudly, "Okay, very good, there are successors." Hou Wu said with a smile: "Yes, yes, if he is born again to the boy, when he grows up, he will go to war with the general again."

Li Qing shook his head, "No, we won't fight any more. Let's finish the battles we have to fight. When the boys grow up, they will go to school."

Jie Wei glanced at Li Qing in surprise. This was the first time he had such close contact with Li Qing, but this seemingly ordinary sentence revealed Li Qing's ambition between the lines.

"How are they?" Li Qing pointed to the yard.

"They?" Hou Wu's eyes showed disgust. He had fought with the barbarians and was disabled because of it. He didn't like these barbarians. Hmph, do you still want to hit us? Don't even think about it. The woman is usually quiet and doesn't come out very much, but today she looks very happy, and she even ran out and sang a song in a barbaric language. I don't even know what I'm singing about!"

Li Qing nodded. He naturally knew Hou Wu's feelings. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Although they are our enemies, since they are already prisoners, there is no need to humiliate them. We are not barbarians. The country is a country of etiquette, right?"

Hou Wu gave a salute, "I don't understand what the general said, but I know that what the general said must be correct. I just do what the general says. These days, I have not treated them badly." .”

"Well, well done, take us in, I'll go see them."

Walking into the yard, to Li Qing's surprise, Nuo Qi'a was dressed neatly, standing at the door, leaning on the door, looking at him with his arms folded.He is a martial artist with sharp ears and eyes, and he probably heard Li Qing's voice.

Li Qing strode towards him, Yang Yidao and Tang Hu pressed their waist sabers, and looked at Nuoqia warily, they had heard Shanfeng and Lu Dalin tell Nuoqia that Nuoqia was very powerful, so he couldn't let him take advantage of it. opportunity.

"General Nuo, Fuyuan side, it's more than a month, this time flies so fast!"

"For General Li, it is of course very fast, but for a prisoner like me, the days are like years." Nuo Qi'a said indifferently.

Li Qing smiled slightly. Nuo Qia is a famous general on the grassland. He is known as another wise and courageous general in the grassland after Hu He. If it wasn't for Naveu, it would be impossible to capture him alive. Such a high-minded An arrogant person, now being kept here in captivity, of course has resentment.

"Prisoners don't get such good treatment. General Nuo, except that you have some freedom of movement, you enjoy the treatment of a VIP. If you don't believe me, ask the county magistrate next to me. He doesn't eat as much as you do every day?"

Nuoqia said coldly: "That's why I don't understand, General Li, although I don't know what your plan is, but I can tell you right now, you will definitely be disappointed."

Li Qing laughed, "General Nuo is suspicious, what do you think I want to do, persuade you to surrender? Or do you want you to tell me some information about the Bai people? Although I am not that smart, I still know a little about General Nuo's reputation, right? It will be a waste of time. General, please rest assured."

"You are not smart, you are cunning." Nuoqia said angrily. "Fall into your hands, kill me earlier, don't need to say more."

"Why kill you? Well, even if you want to die, do you want Princess Neveu in the house to die with you?"

Nuo Qi'a's face changed, and he became a little nervous, "Wars are our men's business, I lost to you, there is nothing to say, the princess is a woman, you are a dignified General Chu, you will not embarrass her so shamelessly, will you? "

Li Qing stared at him, "A woman? Dare I ask General Nuo, what happens to the women you snatch from Dingzhou every time?"

Nuoqia was speechless immediately.

"Okay, General Nuo, our two families have been enemies for generations, there is no need to talk about these nonsense, I want to see the princess, please inform me!"

Nuoqia's face changed, "What do you want to do? I won't let you in if you don't say what you want." He blocked the door and pulled his posture.

Li Qing couldn't help laughing, Yang Yidao and Tang Hu behind him pulled out their sabers with a choking sound, and took a step forward.

"General Nuo, you just said that you are a prisoner, why don't you have the awareness of being a prisoner at this time, you think you can stop us."

"It's nothing more than blood splattered three feet." Nuoqia didn't back down at all.

Li Qing shook his head, and the guards behind him strode forward.

"General Nuo, please come in General Li." A woman's voice suddenly came from the room.

"Princess!" Nuoqia turned her head.

A faint sigh came from the room, "General Nuo, people are killed by knives, I am fish, what can I say, don't sacrifice your life in vain, General Li will not make things difficult for me, otherwise we would not be able to live here until now. "

Li Qing smiled at Gu Nuoqia, "Look, General Nuo, who is both wise and brave, is not as knowledgeable as a woman. If I want to embarrass you, do I need to go to such lengths? Please, General Nuo."

Nuoqia took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, and Li Qing strode in.

Neveu was wearing a formal suit, standing in the center of the house, staring at Li Qing who was striding forward, Li Qing stopped, Yang and Tang stood a step away from Li Qing with their waist knives in their hands, and Nuo Qi Ah closed the door and stood by the door, staring at Nafu nervously, but his mind was a little confused, not knowing what Li Qing was coming for.

His body shook suddenly. Princess Nafu was beautiful and beautiful. She was a famous beauty on the grassland. After Li Qing captured the princess, he didn't ask for credit from the superiors, but hid it secretly. Could it be that he wanted to cheat on the princess?Otherwise why did you touch here at night?Thinking of this, he couldn't help moving forward. Yang Yidao, who noticed his move, immediately took a step back, approached Nuoqia, and stared at him fiercely.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Neveu suddenly gave a salute, which was actually a very standard gesture for a Central Plains woman to greet someone, "Thank you, General, for taking care of me these days."

Li Qing smiled and waved his hands and said, "Princess, please sit down, are you still used to living here? Did you eat well and sleep soundly?" He sat on the main seat with great determination.

Nafu looked very calm. She is actually an extremely intelligent woman. She knew that Li Qing must have other plans for hiding herself here, but she was definitely not greedy for her own beauty. The female official from Dingzhou who escorted her here was a The country is beautiful and heavenly, much stronger than myself. With such beauties by his side, how could a prairie man like him ever catch his eyes? He may be called a beauty on the prairie, but compared with the women in the Central Plains, no matter whether it is Personality, skin color, or charm are all far behind.

"I ate well and slept well. As for whether they are used to it or not, it's hard to say. The children of the grassland are used to being carefree and galloping on horses. Now they are confined in this yard all day. What do you think, General?"

Li Qing nodded, "That's not bad, but it's something that can't be helped, the princess must forgive me."

Neveu smiled, "Of course, I'm a prisoner. The current treatment is beyond my expectations. If the general is captured by our troops in the future, I will definitely make the general live better than I do now!" Although he was laughing , but the words slowly became sharper.Yang Yidao and Tang Hu couldn't help being furious.

Li Qing didn't think it was disobedient, he quarreled with a woman, but he was too lazy to do it.

"I heard that the princess is very happy today, and even sang a song!"

"Yeah, I sang a song today because today is my birthday!" Neveu said.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Li Qing said in surprise, "If I knew it was Princess Fangchen, I should have brought some presents."

"The general has a heart, and Naveu has a heart. There is no need for gifts or anything, but I want to know what the general intends to lock me here, whether to let me go, to kill or not to kill, and to say it so that Naveu can feel at ease. It’s a good birthday, but now I’m really not at ease.”

Li Qing said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry. I'll talk about it later. To be honest, I don't know how to arrange you yet. How about this? I will stay in Chong County for two days. Tomorrow I will go out with the princess and have a look. I have a Chinese style and style, can it be my birthday present to the princess?"

It is of course good to go out to get some fresh air and let the wind out. These days, Neveu is locked up here, but it is terribly stuffy.

"Of course, great, we can finally go out!" Neveu clapped his hands and laughed.

Li Qing smiled. At this moment, he felt that there was no difference between this barbarian princess and a woman from the Central Plains.

"Oh, by the way, I will ask you two to change into local clothes tomorrow. If you go out wearing these clothes, you will be stoned."
