the enlightener says

But just when his hand stretched out and was about to touch the flag, he frowned. His hand stayed in the air for a few breaths, and finally... retracted it.

"Come out. Your breathing and heartbeat are too loud." Qin Ke lowered his head and frowned. Maybe this voice is not too obvious to others, but it is very obvious to him. , it's hard to have anything to hide.

As soon as the words fell, a sharp blade protruded from under the cart holding the flag!

With a soft shout, the figure that had been hiding for a long time finally jumped out. Qin Ke clearly saw a jade ring on that plain wrist. It was obviously a delicate hand, but when the plain hand was holding the dagger, it seemed extremely firm. .

However, it is a pity that things in this world are far from being accomplished by being firm. A girl who has not yet reached the second stage of cultivation, even though she already has a heart to die together, in front of Qin Ke, she can only do it. Weak as a dying white rabbit.

Qin Ke took a step back, then raised his hand and patted her wrist lightly.

Immediately the short sword flew from the girl's hand, whirling in the air and shooting all the way, until it was nailed to the wooden wheel of the cart.And Qin Ke stretched out his hand again, but with his left hand, he strangled her hand wearing the jade ring, and with a sudden push forward, he had already strangled her throat.

Qin Ke lowered his head slightly, and met a pair of unyielding eyes. The girl struggled violently in his confinement, and found that she couldn't shake the man's arms like iron clamps in front of her. It has already fallen into the hands of others, and under the power of his right hand, he poked straight at Qin Ke's eyes.

Qin Ke frowned. Although he has entered the third stage, the eyes are the weak point of a person after all. If this point is confirmed, I am afraid that he will only be a one-eyed dragon in the future... For this ruthless Qin Ke also became slightly annoyed for a while.

He raised his other hand, and the scabbard of the Bodhisattva sword hit the girl's wrist in front of her eyes hard.

Seeing that her fingers were about to poke Qin Ke's eyes, the girl suddenly felt a sharp pain from her wrist, and then her whole arm became paralyzed.

Afterwards, Qin Ke didn't stay any longer, and while inserting the Bodhisattva into his waist, he firmly grasped the girl's trembling right hand, and pressed her hard.

The girl let out a cry of pain, and before she had time to raise her leg to kick it, she found that the other party had already stepped on her firmly with her foot in advance.

"Stop! I don't mean anything malicious." Qin Ke said in a low voice, unaware that he and the girl were looking at each other, only a punch away.

Now he firmly restrained the girl who jumped out suddenly, but he could still feel that the person in his arms was still fighting hard.

Qin Ke gradually lost his patience, and the palm holding her throat tightened slightly.The girl's face flushed immediately, and from a distance, one would think it was a pair of affectionate young men and women whispering something, which made the woman blush with shame.

As long as his hand puts more strength, even if this girl has the second level of cultivation, she will be strangled to death by him. However, he is not a bloodthirsty person after all, so he did not continue to exert strength, but He kept his original strength, stared hard at her eyes, and shouted loudly: "Listen to me!"

The girl with a flushed face didn't have the energy to listen to him, but under such pain, the effect was obvious. She no longer tried to attack Qin Ke, but nodded hard.

Qin Ke breathed a sigh of relief, loosened his grip, and withdrew his body, allowing her to collapse directly on the ground due to suffocation and loss of strength.

Chapter 344 Gongshu Yinxue

Not an ugly girl...

At this time, Qin Ke began to look at the girl who was sitting up and coughing constantly on the ground, and couldn't help but lowered her head to look at the palm that was holding her neck just now, feeling a little bit sorry in her heart.

The girl rubbed her neck with red marks on it with both hands, raised her head and looked at Qin Ke, and said hoarsely, "Who are you?"

Qin Ke was stunned for a moment, and suddenly found it funny: "I should ask you this. Who are you? Are you from this caravan?"

The girl stared carefully at Qin Ke's face for a while, then focused her eyes on the plain long sword on Qin Ke's waist that had just hit her arm so painfully, and finally said vaguely: "I thought you were Tang Jun, originally thought that one life would be exchanged for another, so let’s just die.”

Qin Ke shrugged his shoulders, smiled lightly, and said: "That's really unfortunate, you can't beat me. But your moves are too ruthless. Once you want to poke my eyes, and once you want me Cut off children and grandchildren..."

"Don't be harsh, I'm afraid I won't live until now..." The girl raised her eyes and looked around, and said in a low voice, "I belong to Jinzhou Gongshu, and my name is Gongshu Yinxue."

Really Jinzhou's public loser?

That's just a coincidence.

Qin Ke coughed to hide the little excitement in his heart, and then continued to ask solemnly: "Then, Miss Yinxue, what's the matter with you... and this caravan?"

Gongshu Yinxue didn't answer, but rubbed his aching arm, stood up and ran in one direction.

Qin Ke didn't know what she was going to do, so he ran all the way behind her.However, Gongshu Yinxue suddenly pounced on one place, and vigorously began to toss up the corpses on the ground.

Most of these corpses were killed by knives, and the blade split open the flesh. After such tossing with her hands, the dripping blood could not stop oozing out, and the expressions on their faces became more and more distorted, as if they were not dead yet. Tou, it still feels like pain.

The crows were startled and flew around, quacking and screaming above her head, as if wondering why a girl wanted to "grab food" with them?

In fact, she is also afraid.

Standing aside, Qin Ke could see that her hands were trembling slightly, and there was some redness in her eyes. When she touched the corpse, she tried to avoid looking at the torn human bodies, but the corpses were one by one. How can it be possible to avoid it if the land is piled up together?

When a piece of internal organs that were still somewhat warm fell on the back of her hand, she seemed to be burned by the flames, and she pulled her hand back suddenly, and at the same time she let out an exclamation, and her breathing became a little heavy.

After calming down for a few breaths, she gritted her teeth again and began to push the two stacked corpses with all her strength. Qin Ke looked at her strenuous effort and knew that her few shots just now were really at the end of her strength, so she sighed slightly , walked over and said softly: "Let me do it."

Gongshu Yinxue didn't respond, didn't thank, didn't refuse, but he didn't want to stop.

Qin Ke shook his head, didn't say much, just knelt down to help her rummage together, and soon, an old man's face appeared under another cart.

Gongshu Yinxue's hands were already covered with blood, but at this moment, he ignored the fear, hugged the old man's body, and shouted: "Second Grandpa! We are safe!"

The old man still had his eyes closed, and his weather-beaten face was peaceful, as if he had fallen asleep.

Gongshu Yinxue's heart skipped a beat, and he patted the old man's cheek lightly, "Second Grandpa? Wake up, we...we are safe."

It's just that no matter how much she slapped, the old man was like a stone and didn't respond.

Qin Ke couldn't hear the old man's breathing, and there was no heartbeat from the old man's chest. He persuaded in a low voice, "Miss Yinxue, he is dead."

"Dead?" Gongshu Yinxue obviously refused to accept this reality, "How could he die? He just agreed to hide... Impossible to die... Impossible..."

"He's not breathing anymore." Qin Ke sighed regretfully, "Why don't you try it yourself, girl."

Gongsun Yinxue bit her lip, took two deep breaths, and finally stretched out her hand, carefully reaching under the old man's nose.

There is no breath.

An uncontrollable grief spread in her chest. She looked at the dead bodies everywhere, and the strong smell of blood in the air made her almost nauseous. A few black shadows were cast by the vultures circling in the sky. Almost a blur.

When Bai Qi walked over leading the horse, Gongsun Yinxue's crying became louder. He looked at Qin Ke, who had a dull expression, and kept shaking his head to signal him not to speak.

As a result, the situation became interesting. From an outsider's perspective, two big men stood stupidly behind a weak girl, and watched the girl sitting on the ground and crying loudly, but they didn't think about it. A word of comfort or a hand in the past.

What's even weirder is that around this girl, there are piles of dead bodies, while the vultures and crows are active and cheerful, chattering and scrambling for food.

Of course, Qin Ke didn't expect to come forward to comfort him, because he thought of the ghost stories that Gao Yishui told them on the road. In this situation, this Gongsun Yinxue was crying in the pile of corpses with his back turned to him. It really looks like a female ghost.

"It's Cai Yan, she's not afraid at all, but listens with gusto..." Qin Ke thought of her fair and rosy face without makeup, and the dimples on her cheeks when she smiled. The heart to go to Jinzhou is also more urgent.

But right now...he can't stand like this stupidly with Bai Qi all the time.

In the end it was Bai Qi who opened his mouth first, said something that people cannot be resurrected after death, and went forward to lift the old man out from under the cart.

Gongsun Yinxue looked at the gradually covered loess, her red almond eyes no longer showed sadness, but showed a bit of sharpness instead.

She stretched out her hand to caress the rough tombstone. The old wood gave her a touch like the wrinkled cheeks of the second grandfather.

"Second Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely not let those people go, whoever hurt you, who hurt us, I will definitely seek justice in the future."

After finishing speaking, she stood up and looked straight at Qin Ke: "This young man, what should I call him?"

Qin Ke looked at the light in her eyes, avoided it a little uneasy, cupped his hands and said, "My surname is Qin, and my single name is Ke. This is Bai Qi."

"Young Master Qin, Young Master Bai." Gongsun Yinxue nodded, then bowed back and said, "Yinxue thanked the two young masters for their help, but what plans do you two have next?"

Qin Ke said: "I went to Jinzhou and made an appointment with my friend to meet there."

Gongsun Yinxue's eyes suddenly flashed a bit of joy: "Yinxue's family is in Jinzhou, can you let me go with you all the way, so I can take care of you on the way."

As she said that, she took out a piece of transparent white jade from her bosom, and said: "Of course, Yinxue will not let the two of you help for nothing. This jade pendant is worth five hundred gold. If it arrives in Jicheng, or Ding'an in Tang Kingdom, I'm afraid it will be twice as expensive, and I hope..."

"Just this jade pendant, worth five hundred gold?" Before Qin Ke could speak, Chu Gou, who was leading the horse and came over at an unknown time, couldn't help but speak out.

When Gongsun Yinxue handed out the jade pendant, she didn't even blink her eyes. Obviously, the five hundred gold jade pendant was just a plaything for her, not worth mentioning.

However, Qin Ke didn't reach out to pick up the jade pendant, and Bai Qi also kept silent, Qin Ke looked at Gongsun Yinxue, and said seriously: "Miss Yinxue, it's just walking along the way, there is no need to be polite, I'm afraid... Miss Yinxue has something else to ask for, right?"

Gongshu Yinxue smiled lightly. Even though her clothes were messy and blood was sticky, and her hair was scattered in a bun, she looked very embarrassed, but she did not lose the courtesy of a wealthy daughter. She bowed and bowed in a standard way, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Qin is a clear lesson. Yinxue does have other requests, but I don't know if Mr. Qin can agree to Yinxue's request because I am alone and helpless now?"

Qin Ke and Bai Qi looked at each other, a little puzzled, saying that they had something else to ask for, but they refused to say what they were asking for immediately, and wanted him to agree first, which is really embarrassing.

Gongshu Yinxue seemed to see the hesitation in Qin Ke's heart, and saluted again: "Yinxue doesn't mean that if you accept this jade pendant, you must do what Yinxue asks, even if Mr. Qin refuses to agree, this jade pendant, Yinxue will still give it to Mr. Qin, and I should thank you two for helping to bury my second grandfather."

The public loser is a well-known family, so he definitely wouldn't let his respected old man be buried in the wild. He said he was helping Gongshu Yinxue to bury the old man, but in fact he was only temporarily burying the old man's body to prevent it from being eaten by wild dogs and vultures. After returning to the public loser, people still have to be sent to move the grave.

But now this matter is a bit strange, even if you don't agree, you have to give it away for nothing?

Qin Ke stared blankly at Yu Pei, lost in thought for a moment.

He didn't want to accept it. After all, when he went to Jinzhou, he wanted to find a way to become a public loser and get the Five Elements Sinan, and the temperament exuded by this girl, and the courage to take out a jade pendant worth five hundred gold at will, It is enough to prove that this girl's status in the public loser is not low.

However, if you can take advantage of such a favor, you can take advantage of the trend and enter the public loser...

"Master, just accept it." Seeing that Qin Ke was still hesitating, Chu Gou couldn't help but said, "You see, Miss Yinxue is very sincere. If you don't accept it, she will feel uneasy."

"Go, you are everywhere." Qin Ke glared at him.

At this moment, Bai Qi smiled and said: "Miss Yinxue, my brother Qin is sincere and will do his best in everything he promises, but the girl is asking for something while asking him to agree first... Is it difficult for someone to force you?"

Gongshu Yinxue looked at Bai Qi, and from his black clothes and the logo on the sword hilt at his waist, his heart moved: "Are you an Mohist?"

"That's right." Bai Qi said: "Miss Yinxue, you might as well explain clearly what you're asking for, so that we can make a total sum. The Mohist has always been only for morality, even if he doesn't take a penny, as long as he can, he will help."

Chapter 345 Young Master Marry Me!

Gongshu Yinxue said: "To tell you the truth, two young masters, half a month ago, a reorganized cavalry unit of the Tang Army swept across the Lingjiukou area, causing the people of the three surrounding counties to be displaced. Sending troops to help has entrusted us, the public losers, with the heavy responsibility of helping the refugees."

"But the large granary in the city is full of military rations. If the Tang army invades in a large scale in the future, Jinzhou will bear the brunt of the front line. This military ration cannot be moved. So my father-in-law loser can only open a private granary. Several porridge shops are struggling to support... Seeing that the food at home is getting less and less every day, the second grandpa decided to take me to Pengcheng to buy food..."

Bai Qi said: "It's a great virtue to help the refugees, and the public loser really does not lose everyone's demeanor, but... this place is hundreds of miles away from Lingjiukou, how could you meet Tang Jun on the way?"

Gongshu Yinxue's eyes suddenly showed a bit of resentment, he looked at the simple tombstone of the second grandfather, and said: "Tang Jun? Huh, if they are really Tang Jun, then I am the noble concubine Yang Taizhen of the Tang Dynasty!"

Qin Ke was taken aback for a moment, and he and Bai Qi looked at each other, both of them had doubts in their eyes.

"Then who are these people who attacked you? Is...someone trying to kill you?" Qin Ke asked in a low voice.

"Second Grandpa led the team this time, not on an official route, and the outposts along the way have never received a letter from the Tang Jun to go deep into the Mo family. How could our whereabouts be known by the Tang Jun? I am afraid that only my family..."

Gongshu Yinxue didn't continue talking, his hands were hanging by his sides, and he clenched into fists unconsciously.

My family?The only possibility is my own family.

Wasn't it because of the prosperous and peaceful Ji Dynasty that the princes and clans who were entrusted with all their ambitions showed their ambitions and rebelled and fought for the supreme throne, which finally led to the current chaotic situation?

"I lost my father when I was young, and I grew up with my younger brother. Although my uncle is the owner of the family, his health has always been poor. The doctor said early on that he can only live for one year... and he has no children. If it is true, what will happen?" Rideng Xian left, and the title of the public loser should be inherited by my younger brother, just like this, how can my third and fourth uncles be reconciled?" Gongshu Yinxue thought of those few pictures that seemed calm on weekdays Looking at his face, he snorted and sneered: "They know that if I am here, they will definitely not let my brother suffer the slightest loss, and if I die, they can say that my brother is too young to bear the title... Although the public loser is no longer above the imperial court, his family fortune is far greater than that of ordinary families of officials..."

Speaking of this, Gongshu Yinxue raised his eyes to look at Qin Ke, and folded his hands in a salute: "Mr. Qin, you have already cultivated so much at a young age. Looking at the sword in your hand, you must be from a poor family." Vulgar. I also know that it is a bit shabby for me to take out this jade pendant... Naturally, I dare not say that with this jade pendant, I can bribe the young master to do something for me..."

Suddenly, her cheeks were stained a little red, and her words that were determined and passionate showed some hesitation, but she quickly adjusted her breathing, stared stubbornly at Qin Ke's eyes and said, "I want to ask you to marry me!"

"Pfft—" This time, not only Qin Ke, but even Bai Qi, who was steady and steady all the way, couldn't help but let out an incomprehensible voice.

While listening to the story, Chu Gouben lamented that there are so many right and wrong in the wealthy family, and at the same time looked at Gongshu Yinxue sympathetically, but as soon as he said these words, his jaw drooped uncontrollably. If he hadn't quickly supported it with both hands, he might have dislocated his joints.

"What? What?" Qin Ke's lips were trembling, and his eyes were so wide that they wanted to protrude from their sockets, "You said...you said to marry...who will you marry?"

"Master, please...marry Gongshu Yinxue."

"What are you kidding!" Qin Ke's eyes drifted away for a while, and finally he looked at her, but he couldn't see any playful look on the other party's face. He was in a mess for a while, and waved his hands vigorously: "I can't! You ...I...what do I marry you for? We just met...I...you..."

Qin Ke's finger pointed at himself for a while, and pointed at Gongshu Yinxue for a while, and his words were already a little incoherent.

"Young Master... Please don't think too much, Young Master." The blush on Gongshu Yinxue's face spread all the way to her neck, and she felt that she couldn't continue to face the eyes of Qin Ke and the other two men, so she had to lower her head.

She knew that if she said this, she would definitely be misunderstood. After all, it is always a little outrageous for a girl to propose a marriage. If someone with ulterior motives hears it, she is afraid that she will be crowned as indiscreet. Restless name.

It's just that she was also in a hurry to go to the doctor.The second grandfather who loved their siblings the most in the family is no longer there. She is a girl, even if she can return to Jinzhou alive, how can she support herself and her brother in the future?

Gongshu Yinxue slowed down for a long time, but still blushing, said: "My lord misunderstood, I don't really want to marry you. It's just that I'm a woman. If I want to make a go of it in the family, I must first avoid future troubles. In the eyes of the elders , I will marry after all, no matter how capable and responsible I am, even if I manage the family affairs in an orderly manner, they still won't really regard me as a public loser."

"But if I can find a husband who is willing to marry..."

"No, no, no, no..." Before Gongshu Yinxue could finish speaking, Qin Ke had already shaken his head like a rattle, "How can this be possible? Marriage is not a treat... Isn't the girl serious at all?" Is it your own name?"

Gongshu Yinxue took two deep breaths, raised his head again, and said, "Compared to Mingjie, I care more about my brother's safety and his future. He is still young and ignorant, but if I really get married, it will be like Leave him alone in the wolf's den of the public loser, and replace it with you, so what?"

"That's impossible, but..." Qin Ke was a little at a loss under her stare, "If the girl is so worried about him, she can take him away from the public loser. Why do you want to spoil yourself like this?"

Gongshu Yinxue let out a long sigh, mixed with five flavors, but most of all, he was unwilling.

"My brother and I are both public losers. We walked away, but his identity is still a thorn in the hearts of those people. Where can we have a shelter? I don't know how to make fire and cook, and I don't know how to hunt and farm... Besides, this should belong to him, I'm his sister, how can I not plan for his future?"

Qin Ke avoided her scorching gaze, and had to say that he didn't think Gongshu Yinxue was wrong. He thought of Zhang Mingqi, and the pained look on that son's face every time he swallowed the porridge and side dishes, and suddenly felt more understanding.

"It's just that, even if Miss Yinxue is willing to let go, I can't take advantage of others like this. Maybe, girl, you can ask others? Girl, you are so beautiful and have a good family background. Presumably there are many people who are willing to marry you, Maybe you can still meet a good match with true love, and in the future, you will get along with each other, and your heart will be connected, it will be better than me...me...?"

Qin Ke winked at Bai Qi, as if to convey some kind of message to him, but Bai Qi immediately took a step back, shook his head and smiled awkwardly.

Gongshu Yinxue stared at Qin Ke in a daze, tears came out of her red eyes again, and she said in a calm voice, "Mr. Qin, do you really think that my Gongshu Yinxue is contemptuous and self-deprecating, and you can find someone who you want to ask for?" Can't you send yourself out?"

Qin Ke was surprised when he heard this, and waved his hand to deny it: "That's not what I mean. I just think that if Miss Yinxue wants to find someone to pretend to be a wife, she doesn't have to find me..."

Gongshu Yinxue bit his lips and said, "No, it's up to you."
