Chapter 62 Princess: Yi San, you did a great job
Concubine Luo felt a gust of wind blowing against her face, she blinked, and the broken hair brushed her face, and she saw Qin Shou's cold face in front of her.

He pursed his thin lips, and the honey-colored wide-sleeved slanted-breasted gown fluttered, and the long sleeves kept fluttering, with a kind of graceful elegance. Then he turned around and stood still, and Concubine Luo followed her toes to the ground.

Only then did she realize that she was in his arms, and where she was standing at first, a rough man with ragged clothes and disheveled hair was kneeling on one knee.

Apparently when this person rushed towards her, Qin Shou suddenly appeared and rescued her.

Concubine Luo's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at Qin Shou in disbelief. He would actually save her?Could it be that she was dreaming, or that the person in front of her was someone else pretending to be?

However, Qin Shou glanced down at her coldly, and asked Concubine Luo to confirm that this person was undoubtedly Qin Shou himself, and he must have lost his mind at that moment.

Qin Shou couldn't see Concubine Luo's thoughts, the shadow at the corner of his mouth deepened, he let go of her as if nothing had happened, and looked at the man sharply.

Unexpectedly, the man looked straight at Concubine Luo, and his big eyes with copper bells were very bright.

"Princess? Concubine Luo?" Surprisingly, the man stood up slowly and asked Concubine Luo.

Concubine Luo frowned, she felt that the voice was really unpleasant, as if it had been smoked and hoarse, but she still nodded proudly.

Hearing this, the man was overjoyed and wanted to rush over again.

Qin Shou snorted coldly, cut his hands behind his back, with a sharp and aggressive aura, "Presumptuous!"

The man stared at Qin Shou fearfully, his eyes were red with deep hatred.

Concubine Luo was surprised, she carefully looked at the man's appearance, and indeed she did not recognize him, no matter whether it was the previous life or the present life.

"Who are you? Knowing the identity of the palace, you dare to rush?" Concubine Luo asked.

As soon as the man's eyes fell on Concubine Luo, he felt agitated. He didn't dare to get close, so he stood there and knelt down with a plop, "I burned almost half of the grain in Langcheng's granary. Will the princess punish me?"

It's Langcheng again!

Concubine Luo and Qin Shou frowned at the same time, and Concubine Luo asked again, "If you talk about such a serious crime, I will even kill you!"

The man grinned and gave Qin Shou a sneering look, "Every word of the grass people is true, I burned the grain in Langcheng, and I piled up haystacks in all directions to burn half of the grain. "

Hearing this, Concubine Luo's eyes sharpened, and she wanted to ask more questions, but Qin Shou waved his hand, and ordered the official who arrived who didn't know when to arrive, "Take it back, and I will interrogate it myself!"

The accident happened in the blink of an eye, the man climbed up, turned around and rushed into the encirclement of Gu Shiwei and others who were also looking for him, and shouted loudly, "Not only do I want to burn food, I also want to assassinate Luo today!" Princess Concubine!"

The guard Gu paused as he was about to get out of the way, Keng's sword came out of its sheath, the sharp blade flashed, and he grabbed the man first, and then the guards rushed up and arrested the man who hadn't resisted at all.

"Tie me back to the mansion, I want to ask why I assassinated him!" Concubine Luo couldn't see anything strange about that person, she snatched him on the spot.

Qin Shou glanced at her silently, didn't say anything, it was a step back.

Ming Yu and Ji Xia Bing Huaixu also came over at this meeting, Concubine Luo looked around, but Xie Liangyu who was still there at first was nowhere to be seen, she didn't care, and led her team straight back to the house.

As for Qin Shou, he seemed to have forgotten about coming to the gambling shop to arrest people, he dismissed all the government servants, and followed Concubine Luo back home to Anfoyuan.

The man's hair was disheveled and his body was covered in dirt. Concubine Luo disliked him, so she set up a posture in the yard for interrogation.

But no one expected that the man's first words would be, "Princess, King Rong and Qin's army have betrayed their hearts and colluded with Xitu to slaughter villages and cities in the territory of Langcheng. I hope the princess will find out!"

As soon as these words fell, Concubine Luo and Qin Shou's expressions changed——

"What nonsense!"

"Is this true?"

When two different words were spoken together, Qin Shou's complexion was as dark as an abyss, and those bottomless smoke-colored phoenix eyes brewed a terrifying situation.

Concubine Luo tried her best to think back to this time in her previous life. It seemed to be July. There seemed to be a few towns in Langcheng where the epidemic broke out, and a lot of people died. She hadn't heard of the other ones, such as Xitu. , or maybe she doesn't care, so I don't know.

While she was still thinking about it, the man suddenly took a step forward, coughed violently, and actually spat a big mouthful of thick saliva on Qin Shou, doing what Concubine Luo has always wanted to do, really... …

Very popular!

The entire Anfoyuan was silent, only the rustling of the branches and leaves of the locust trees.

Qin Shou looked down at the dirt hanging on the hem of his robe, his face was expressionless, but his whole body was full of killing intent that was so strong that it almost became real.

"Heh," Concubine Luo smiled gloatingly, and she said to the man, "With such actions, you should be the number one warrior in Great Yin!"

But that's right, maybe the entire Great Yin couldn't find a second person who dared to spit on Qin Shou.

That man should have risked himself a long time ago, and he didn't care how Qin Shou reacted, he glanced at Qin Shou contemptuously, and when he turned to look at Concubine Luo, he was as gentle as spring wind and rain, "everything Cao Min said is true. "

Immediately afterwards, he narrated everything, "Caomin's surname changed to San, a person from Wanglong Village, Langcheng. At the end of last year, Caomin accidentally found traces of Manzi Turks not far from the head of the village, so he reported the matter. The government, but the officials at the time did not take it seriously, thinking that the grassroots were created out of nothing."

"Later, when the Caomin returned to the village, a small group of barbarians were killed in the village that night. There were eighteen households in the village, and none of them survived, including their livestock. Fortunately, the Caomin still had the strength to escape this catastrophe..."

What happened later made Concubine Luo very angry.

Yi San, who escaped from the dead, couldn't figure out how that group of barbarians appeared in the village without anyone noticing, so he paid extra attention and ran to Langcheng to directly stop the official sedan chair of the envoy, and he did see it The envoy who participated in politics also reported the massacre of Wanglong Village one by one.

The Political Envoy was furious at the time, but he still appeased Yi San, who knew that when Yi San stepped out of the gate of the Political Envoy, some officials said that he was a barbarian spies, trying to assassinate the Political Envoy.

With the help of his friends, he managed to escape from the city, but since then he has been unable to go anywhere, and the streets and alleys are full of portraits of him being wanted.

So far he wandered around the suburbs of the city, only to find that quite a few remote villages did not exist at all, just like Wanglong Village in the past, empty villages and villages, with no one inhabited.

In April of this year, he saw the scene of the barbarians slaughtering the village again with his own eyes. This time he quietly followed, but he didn't know that after the barbarians slaughtered the village, they changed their outfits and entered Langcheng in a big way.

Yi San understood everything at that moment. It must be that the officials in Langcheng had colluded with the Turks, and that's why Wanglong Village was ruined because of his report.

What made him feel even more desperate was that the Qin family army entered Langcheng. It was clearly the well-known Qin family army, but they never came out since they entered the city, and those barbarians were as rampant as before, and even worsened. , Not only massacred villages, but also captured living people, including women, children, old and young.

Qin Shou's expression was surprisingly ugly, and he said firmly, "It's absolutely impossible!"

Yi San hated him for poisoning him, so he only said to Concubine Luo, "The grass people really can't do anything, before the Qin family army went, the grass people still had a glimmer of hope, so they simply didn't do anything, so the grass people burned half of the granary and burned it down. For food, if Langcheng can't pay the taxes that should be paid this year, Rongzhou will always have to check, and the gang of animals in Langcheng will definitely suffer retribution."

Speaking of this, Yi Sanren's tall and burly Chinese character made his eyes red.

"But you don't know, the petition in Langcheng only said that the new food was intercepted by the Turks, and that the palace should give them tax relief for three years." Concubine Luo laughed back angrily, furious.

Yi San was dumbfounded, he didn't know there was such a reason in Li.

Concubine Luo continued, "I sent someone to investigate, but only found out that the corrupt officials in Langcheng wanted to fill their pockets and sold new grain privately. There was a lot of grain in the granary. It didn't look like it had been burned of."

Yi San laughed bitterly, his voice was so hoarse that he could hardly speak, "It's stones, it's all stones. The grass people have been hiding in the granary. I saw with my own eyes that they poured piles of stones into the granary. A layer of grain was sprinkled on the surface to cover it."

"Caomin's throat was burned at that time." Yi San's eyes were full of sadness, he looked at Concubine Luo deeply, bent his knees, and touched his forehead to the ground, "Caomin didn't really want to assassinate the princess, Caomin just couldn't believe it ..."

"Princess, please be the master for the people of Langcheng..."

The hissing and strenuous shouting made everyone in the courtyard feel sour, and Concubine Luo felt a heavy weight on her shoulders. Those who begged her so sadly were the people of her royal family of Yinxi, and they were all protected by the previous emperors wholeheartedly. common people.

Never before has she truly felt the responsibility of being a descendant of the Xi family like she is now.

In the past, she still thought too narrowly. She should not only give shelter to those around her, but should treat everyone who needs her as the same.

Not for anything else, just because her surname is Xi, and she is the eldest princess of Yin!

"Get up quickly, I will definitely seek justice for all the people who died in Langcheng," Concubine Luo stretched out her hand, her previous anger has settled into a noble spirit, "No matter who that person is, I sincerely respect you Promise, I will definitely use his head as a sacrifice to the heroic spirit."

Yi San was so moved that he moved his lips, but he couldn't say a word, he could only kowtow to Concubine Luo continuously.

Concubine Luo signaled the guards to help him up, and then she sneered at Qin Shou, "A few days ago, I thought that the Qin family army of the son-in-law had settled the matter of Langcheng, but I didn't expect that he had already surrendered to the enemy. The son-in-law was so impatient, otherwise Now let’s kill Bengong and rise up.”

Qin Shou was not offended by these words, he said firmly, "The Qin family's army would rather die standing than kneeling to live, let alone surrender to the enemy!"

After saying this, he glanced at Yi San and said, "Princess shouldn't trust this person."

Concubine Luo raised the corners of her lips slightly, with a sneering expression on her face, "I don't believe him, so could it be that I believe in the son-in-law? Hmph, it's really ridiculous!"

Qin Shou pursed his lips, looked at Yi San coldly, "You never told the truth."

Yi San glared at him, "The beasts colluding with the barbarians are full of clever words."

Qin Shou was finally angered by a word of beast, "I will say it again, the Qin family army will never defect to the enemy!"

Then he quickly said, "You are not an ordinary countryman. You have calluses on the tiger's mouth on your right hand, thick calluses on the base of your palm and fingers, and the same thick calluses on the fingertips of your left hand. This king is right. If so, you should have gone to the battlefield to kill the enemy."

Yi San remained silent, he looked at Qin Shou indistinctly.

Qin Shoudao, "You are eight feet tall, with a solid lower body. When walking, you are used to leaning slightly on the right side of your body. You are so strong and have no hidden diseases. If you were not a deserter on the battlefield, how could the army let you go? Home."

Concubine Luo was dubious about what Concubine Luo said, Gu Shiwei took advantage of the situation and turned up his hand to look at it, and it was exactly as the son-in-law said.

"I'm not a deserter." Yi San suddenly said plainly, but anyone could hear the turbulence beneath the plainness.

"Hmph," Qin Shou squinted his long and narrow phoenix eyes, and looked at him with even more contempt, as if he was looking at an ant. About yourself, but half a sentence is not true."

"I'm not a deserter!" Yi San said the same thing again, this time he was a little excited.

Qin Shou was aggressive, "Yes or no, you don't say it with your mouth, but meet you on a narrow road, but you don't even have the courage to fight, then you are a deserter and a coward!"

"I'm not a deserter!" Yi San yelled loudly, his already hurt voice became even more rusty like an old broken bellows, creaking and unusable.

Qin Shou only looked at him, his eyes were as cold as frost, Concubine Luo was undecided, she believed Yi San at first, but after Qin Shou's persecution, Yi San's reaction made her unsure again.

"I'm not a deserter..." Yi San murmured, and then wept silently, a man who stood upright, but at this moment he was sad like a child, "I didn't become a deserter, and I killed many Barbarians, many robes are dead, but I can't die, there are so many barbarians, how dare I just die..."

Concubine Luo turned her head slightly, and saw that Qin Shou's back was straight, his unparalleled handsome face was flat and unruffled, and he looked extremely ruthless, and he even asked, "The barbarians are endless, how dare you die, now the barbarians are slaughtering your village , and what have you done?"

Yi Sanhu's body trembled, he stared at Qin Shou, his grimy face was full of pain.

"I was originally a patrol officer in Langcheng. One day, my mother in the village was critically ill, so I asked Shangfeng for leave and went back to my hometown. When my mother was dying, I wanted to see the younger sister married in the neighboring village. Therefore, I went to the village before dawn. I went to the neighboring village to pick up people, but when I got to the ground, what I saw was mourning, and no one in the whole village had a living...

"Caomin's little girl is less than [-] years old, and she is still five or six months pregnant. Caomin dug him out from the corpse, only to find that her belly had been cut open, and the pre-term child had been gouged out. , Poor Caomin's nephew who never opened his eyes..."

"In a fit of anger, I rushed to the government office. After being inquired by the lord of the government office, I hurriedly reported it to the Secretary of Political Affairs. I planned to go back to my hometown to resettle my mother, so I went back to the barracks and reported the matter to the top. Who would have thought that I would just step forward?" After walking, the whole village was ransacked by barbarians, and halfway through my journey, I was ambushed by a small group of barbarians, and only then did I know that Langcheng was in collusion with barbarians."

"In the past, Pao Ze and I went deep into the hinterland of Turkic for tens of miles every day to patrol, to defend our home and country, and to drive the barbarians out of the Great Yin one day, but the herd of animals in Langcheng led wolves into the house instead, and Pao Ze and I did not want to die. What I got in exchange for fighting on the battlefield is this kind of result, so, what am I protecting, what is protecting..."
