When a passerby becomes a princess

When Liang Xi heard this, he was startled and angry, staring at Qiao Shanbao speechlessly.

Seeing that Liang Xi didn't speak, Qiao Shanbao went on to say: "Now Huzi is attacking Liang Kingdom with the whole country. If you, the prince, are taken hostage, your father will have to give in."

"What? Huzi attacked Daliang country?" Liang Xi suddenly remembered the dream he had the night before, and Lin Qiu fell to the ground covered in blood. He became anxious and asked quickly, "When did Huzi attack Liangguo? How is the war now?" ?”

Qiao Shanbao saw that he ignored his previous threats and was anxious about the war, so he gave him a high look, shook his head slightly, and said: "The road is blocked by heavy snow, and the news is not easy to come. How can I know what the war is like?"

Liang Xi impatiently walked around the room twice, and said, "Boss, as long as you send me back to Daliang Country, I will definitely thank you very much."

Qiao Shanbao laughed and said, "How can you thank me?"

Liang Xi thought for a while, and said solemnly: "However you want me to thank you, as long as I can do it, I can agree."

Qiao Shanbao didn't speak for a long time, just looked at Liang Xi until he saw that he was really anxious, then said: "Okay, go and call Tantou and the deputy leaders in."

Liang Xi hurriedly went out and called someone to come in, and even the second sister Qiao followed in with her tiger head in her arms.

The stone room was not big, and it suddenly became a bit crowded with four thick men standing there, but no one said anything, just looked at Qiao Shanbao on the bed with a serious face.

"Brother Liang." Qiao Shanbao didn't call Liang Xi's name, but called him brother, and said, "You just said that as long as we send you back to Daliang, you will do whatever I ask you to do. Will you swear?"

Liang Xi was in a hurry to go back, and immediately said: "I, Liang Xi, hereby swear that as long as I am sent back to Daliang Kingdom, I will try my best to do whatever you say, as long as it will not harm Daliang Kingdom and will not violate my conscience." It was also rare for him to be smart enough to save himself a way out, lest Qiao Shanbao let him do some bad things.

The few people around were a little dazed when they heard that he called himself "Liang Xi", especially the second sister Qiao gave Liang Xi a hard look, always thinking that he was an honest man, who knew that even his name was fake.

Qiao Shanbao was very satisfied and said, "Okay, then I want you to do three things."

"Boss, please tell me, as long as I can do it." Liang Xi said and cupped his hands.

"The first thing is that the village was destroyed this time, and people can no longer live here. These brothers have been with me for more than ten years, but this kind of thing happened. I want you to settle them properly."

Liang Xi couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard Qiao Shanbao's intention to entrust the funeral, but whether it was the prince or the magistrate of Beimo County, it was still easy to resettle hundreds of people, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

"Second thing, I only have the second sister Qiao as my daughter. I want you to take good care of her for the rest of her life, and don't let her be a horse bandit again."

"Father!" Before Liang Xi could speak, Second Sister Qiao had already cried out from the side. "I don't need others to take care of me, I just need to follow my father, and I will always be a horse bandit!"

Qiao Shanbao ignored her and only looked at Liang Xi.

Anyone else must understand that Qiao Shanbao wants Liang Xi to marry the second sister Qiao. Unfortunately, Liang Xi's brain is one-sided. He just thought that Qiao Shanbao didn't want his daughter to be a horse bandit again, so that he could live a peaceful life in the future. So he said naturally: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Second Sister Qiao."

Seeing his serious face, Qiao Shanbao breathed a sigh of relief.

Second Sister Qiao is 23 years old, other people's daughters are running around all over the place so early, but Second Sister Qiao has never liked any man, and Qiao Shanbao didn't want to force her, so she just dragged on.Ever since Liang Xi arrived in the village, Qiao Shanbao found that his daughter had become fond of laughing and dressing up, and occasionally stared in a daze in front of the mirror. Later, when his wife reminded him, he realized that his daughter was in love with her.

In fact, Qiao Shanbao is extremely dissatisfied with the fact that Liang Xi is the crown prince. If the stockade hadn't been destroyed, he would rather have Second Sister Qiao wait another two years than marry his daughter into the Tian family, especially since the crown prince already has a wife of.But now, the village is broken, and the old wife died in the melee. Before he left, he could arrange the rest of his daughter's life well, and he could explain to the old wife when he went down.

Liang Xi didn't know that Qiao Shanbao was already at the end of his battle, and he just held his breath. Now that he entrusted the matter to Liang Xi, his voice also weakened obviously, took a few breaths, and said: "The third thing , I have a sign under my pillow, take it out."

Without doubting him, Liang Xi reached under the pillow and took out a silver plate with the word "horse" embedded in gold.

Behind him, several deputy chiefs showed blank expressions, and only one of them looked at the sign with flickering eyes, showing a look of unwillingness.

"Tantou, do it!" Qiao Shanbao suddenly shouted.

In response, Tantou pulled out the short knife from his waist and put it on the neck of a deputy leader.

The leader suddenly turned pale, stiffened his body and laughed twice, and said, "Big leader, what does this mean?"

Qiao Shanbao stared at him with his good eye, and said, "Hu Jiu, three years ago your village was attacked by Hu Zi, and I led people to rescue you, but unexpectedly, I saved a wolf. It is impossible for someone to lead the way into the stockade. You led the team out two months ago, and when you came back, you lost five brothers, four of whom I sent to you, and I began to doubt you at that time."

Just as Hu Jiu wanted to move, Tantou's dagger cut the skin on his neck immediately. He stopped immediately and said, "I explained before that when we met Hu Zi, all five brothers died."

Qiao Shanbao laughed "Hey" and said, "I can only say that you are too careless. Among the things you brought back, there were two leather robes with no cuts on them, only blood stains on the collar." There were no cuts on the leather robes. , indicating that there was no scuffle at that time, only blood stains on the collar, indicating that the two men were directly cut to death.

Hu Jiu's lips trembled twice, and he was speechless.

Qiao Shanbao didn't want to listen to his sophistry anymore, and shouted: "Whoever betrays his brother will be punished with three knives and six holes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other two deputy chiefs at the side pulled out their waist knives at the same time, and pierced Hu Jiu's body together with the short knife in Tantou's hand, directly passing through.

Hu Jiu screamed "Ah", trying to snatch the knife in their hands with both hands, but before he could touch the handle, the three of them pulled out the knife at the same time, and Hu Jiu fell to the ground and twitched continuously, with blood flowing from the knife continuously. It came out of his body, and he saw that there was more air and less air.

Liang Xi clenched his fists. He had seen murder before, and he himself had bearded off his head, but this was the first time he had seen this kind of punishment.When he was in the village, he had dinner at the same table with Hu Jiu. Although Hu Jiu usually didn't like to talk, he couldn't tell that he was a spy at all.

"Big boss!"

"father!"

Liang Xi was startled, and quickly turned to look at Qiao Shanbao, only to see that he closed his eyes, his face was calm, and he had lost all breath.

The man who was as towering as a mountain when we first met, the man who yelled and shook Liang Xi's head into chaos, arranged for his brother and daughter before he died, executed the spies, and finally left with peace of mind.

For a while, the crying in the stone room was loud, not only the second sister Qiao couldn't stop crying, but also the two deputy chiefs and Tantou had tears in their eyes. They are all old people who have followed Qiao Shanbao for many years. To them, Qiao Shanbao not only Not only the leader, but also brothers and relatives.

The tiger head in Second Sister Qiao's arms was woken up, looked around inexplicably, and saw Liang Xi who was standing blankly, immediately clapped his hands happily, and yelled twice, seeing that he was still there. He took care of himself, and shouted again, "...Ah...Dad..."

Liang Xi finally woke up from the shock, went to help Second Sister Qiao who was kneeling by the bed, took the tiger head from her hand, and said, "You can't be resurrected after death, so don't be too sad, I promised you will understand." I will take care of you, and I will do it."

When he said this, he was already thinking about how to deal with the horse bandits and Second Sister Qiao, but he didn't notice that Second Sister Qiao looked up at him with complicated eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking here, he turned around and saw the two deputy chieftains and Tantou bowed to him, shouting: "I have seen the chieftain!"

Liang Xi was taken aback for a moment, but when he realized he was startled, he hurried over to help them, and said, "What do you mean?"

Tantou pointed to the silver medal in his hand and said, "This is the token of our big leader. Since the big leader gave you the token, then you are our new leader."

Liang Xi blinked his eyes, and couldn't recover for a long time. Qiao Shanbao just asked him to take out the sign, but he didn't tell him that if he took this sign, he would be the boss.He is the prince of Daliang, if he becomes the leader of the horse bandits, even if his father doesn't whip him, all civil and military officials will spray him to death with saliva.

But if he refuses, it means that the agreement with Qiao Shanbao has not been fulfilled, and the horse bandits don't have to send him back to Daliang.

For a moment, Liang Xi looked at the sign in his hand and fell into a dilemma.

Fortunately, Second Sister Qiao saw the embarrassment on his face, stopped crying, and said: "Now think about what to do next, let's talk about other things after we get out."

The dead Qiao Shanbao and his brothers needed to be buried. There was not much food in the tunnel they were in, so it was impossible to hide here all the time, but there were an unknown number of beards outside, so there was no difference between going out and dying.

Hearing what she said, Liang Xi nodded quickly and said: "Yes, let's discuss what to do first." He didn't expect that even if he "talk about it after we go out", he still didn't avoid the position of the big boss.

Tantou said: "Just now I asked Yu Qi, there was no ambush outside the valley entrance, most of the bearded soldiers stayed inside the house."

A deputy leader named Zhang Shu said: "Even if there is no ambush outside the mouth of the valley, if we want to leave here, we still need horses. We must go back and get them."

Tantou frowned and said, "But there are many women and children here, and they can't ride even if they have horses."

The stone room suddenly became quiet. From the first generation of big bosses, there was a rule that they would never abandon any brothers. Even if those women and children could not ride horses to fight, they were still their family members and could not be abandoned at any time.

After a while, Liang Xiyu said hesitantly, "Maybe...we can make a snowmobile."
