[Three Kingdoms] I am the queen of the Great Wei Dynasty
Chapter 34 Hostage
It was almost dusk when he stumbled out of his official office.The jackdaws wailed shrillly in the ears, circling and turning in the air, among the branches, shaking the shimmering light reflected by the evening sun through the gaps in the branches and leaves, and the entangled and slightly cold chill intertwined and invaded each other.
She supported the wall all the way across the street, and the surrounding was eerily silent, as if she couldn't hear the slightest sound of people.
After tormenting, he walked to the gate of the post house, and there was a girl in white clothes standing under the tree.
"Jin'er?" She walked to Jin'er with heavy steps and called out.
Jin'er has no expression on her face, she is as pale as a transparent lake, people don't know and dare not guess what is going on in her heart.
"To your father, the people of Xuzhou, I'm sorry." Her voice was suppressed and she looked at Jin'er earnestly.Although these things had nothing to do with her, facing the lonely and gloomy girl in front of her, she couldn't help thinking of her father.
Blood poured out from the corner of his mouth wantonly, and sprinkled mottled and shocking scars on the yellowed quilt.The pair of skinny hands hanging powerlessly on the head of the bed convulsed the air, as if they were still reluctant and bound to this world even though they were desperate.
He committed suicide. It wasn't poverty, it wasn't illness, and it wasn't even the fault of Zhang Miao alone that killed him.
It's this world.
It is this world that is so stingy that it does not want to give life to the people.
But the person who once said that he wanted to change the world, the person who held her hand and led her from the darkness to the light, is now willing to become a dark cloud in the suffocating darkness.
"Ma'am, why bother to apologize." Jin'er said slowly, with a few strands of messy hair hanging from her forehead, clinging to sweat, "This matter has nothing to do with you."
A Sheng shook her head, she gently stretched out her hand to straighten Jin'er's abrupt hair, took off the gold hairpin inlaid with jade on her head and stuffed it in her hand, and said in a low voice: "Take this, I'll buy you a coffin Father, please bury him properly."
After finishing speaking, she seemed to have thought of something, and without any hesitation, she simply took off her white jade and bright moon earrings and put them in Jin'er's palm: "You keep this too, and exchange it for some baht money, you and you Mother should also live well."
In fact, she doesn't have many women's boudoir accessories, which are already the most valuable thing on her body.That pair of earrings was her favorite thing in daily life. She couldn't help but look at Jin'er's palm with affection, but then forcefully withdrew her gaze, preventing Jin'er from seeing half of her emotions.
Jin'er stared blankly at the jewelry shining with twilight in her hand, then raised her head to look at A Sheng, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you." Her eyes were dim, like the endless night, so silent that she couldn't see what was hidden. A little spark in the corner.
"But I'm sorry." The latter sentence was almost inaudible, but it carried the gloom of the evening when the twilight was sinking.
She was just about to ask Jin'er what she meant, "You—" before she uttered a word, her mouth was suddenly blocked by a pair of hands that suddenly appeared from behind, and the tone was abruptly swallowed back into her throat.
These rough and powerful hands tightly covered her mouth and nose, making her almost caught off guard and falling to the edge of a suffocating cliff.A Sheng's eyes couldn't help staring wide open, desperately trying to turn around to see who it was, and desperately waved his hand at Jin'er for help.
Jin'er, on the other hand, looked at her indifferently, as if turning a blind eye.
Ah Sheng could only frantically struggle and shake his body, desperately trying to get rid of the powerful confinement of the people behind him, but the man's low warning came from his tense eardrums: "Don't move around, you can't run."
There were whispering voices from other men beside her, and she couldn't hear what these people were talking about because of the hoarseness and indistinctness.It seems that this time he has fallen into an unexpected predicament, and there is not only one man here.
She was covered to the point of fainting. Although her head told her that she must not faint at this moment, she really lost all her strength, and fresh air could not enter her nasal cavity to stay awake. She could only let herself fall into the groggy darkness, Let consciousness become a boulder and sink to the bottom of the ocean.
After finally her consciousness returned to the right track, she tried to open her eyes to recognize the surrounding environment.I don't know when it is now, the surroundings are dim, like being suppressed by a thick layer of clouds, and it seems that there is still a torrential rain blowing outside, patting on the fragile window lattice, hitting her restless heart.
"You're finally awake." The gloomy male voice suddenly cut through the darkness.
Only then did she realize that there were a few feeble candles lit in the room, barely able to illuminate the surrounding corners.Several burly men in front of him looked at her maliciously, but there was a bit of hatred and coldness in their eyes, as if sharp knives were about to cut her body.
She couldn't help trembling in her heart, but she tried her best to maintain calm and stability on the face, even though her blood was frozen with panic.
"You guys, what on earth are you kidnapping me for?" A Sheng tried to take a few breaths, trying to get rid of his strong fear.
One of the men frowned, and the cold light of the dagger in his hand flashed across the corners of his eyes, causing her to subconsciously close her eyelids in shock.
"You will know soon, Mrs. Cao."
As soon as this address was called out, Ah Sheng immediately understood the reason why he became the fish on their backs.
It must be because of Cao Cao.
They should be Xuzhou people who survived the massacre, and they might want to arrest themselves to vent their anger.Even though she was not sure, she still stabilized her confused mind, and said lightly: "What good is it to you if you arrest me, if you want revenge, just go to him, it has nothing to do with me."
"It's really useless to us. But someone wants you to be useful." The man in dark brown stared straight at her, making Ah Sheng tremble all over in panic.
"who?"
"No comment."
The old wooden door creaked, setting off a swirling dust cobweb.
Jin'er came in suddenly carrying a bamboo basket, and she handed a bun by herself. When she saw Ah Sheng who was tied up, an indecipherable look flashed in her eyes.
She bit her lip, took a bun and approached A Sheng, lowered her eyelids and said softly, "Are you hungry?"
A Sheng nodded.She didn't know how long she hadn't eaten, and she suppressed her stomach so much that she didn't let out a growl.
She looked at Jin'er hesitantly, and said tentatively: "Can you untie my hands, I want to eat."
The big man next to him immediately put down the bun in his hand as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and before Jin'er agreed, he loudly obstructed: "How dare you?"
"Forget it, I'll hold it for you." Jin'er frowned, and calmly held the steaming steamed stuffed bun to her mouth. A Sheng opened his mouth impatiently, and dealt with it.
She raised her eyes gratefully to Jin'er, licked the remaining debris on the corner of her lips, and said softly: "Thank you."
Jin'er didn't respond as if she didn't hear it. The basket in her hand lost her grip and suddenly fell to the ground, making a crisp clanging sound when it touched the bluestone slab.
The big men couldn't help but look back at Jin'er, she quickly put on a guilty smile, busy apologizing: "The little girl was careless, she really didn't mean it."
Seeing that their eyes no longer paid attention to this side, she knelt down to pick it up, and whispered two words in A Sheng's ear the moment she stood up.
"Lu Bu."
Immediately, she calmly held the bamboo basket firmly in her arm, said good luck to those men, and pushed the door open to leave.
What did she just say?Lu Bu?
What is Lu Bu going to do with himself?
But right now, who can save himself from this darkness.She suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness, as if she was alone and abandoned by the world. No one outside knew where she was at the moment, and even forgot that there was such a person as her.
It was as if he was thrown alive into a bottomless valley, the only daylight was covered by layers of dark clouds, and the escape rope could not be seen.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.A masked man in black pushed the door open, saw A Sheng who was tied up in the corner, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "You guys are really safe."
"Naturally, how dare we disobey General Lu's order." The brown-clothed man changed his original stern demeanor and flatteredly walked in front of the visitor.
The person who came took out a black gold-carved cloth bag from his sleeve, which seemed so heavy that it made a jingling sound.The eyes of all the men in the room shone with greed, like hungry wolves scrambling for food, and they kept saying "thank you" in thanks.
"This is General Lu's promise, let's fulfill it now."
Judging from his tone, the person who came should be one of Lu Bu's subordinates.A Sheng looked at them nervously, his palms were rubbed with bloodstains by the rough hemp rope, and he could even clearly feel the slippery blood oozing out from it, mixed with sweat, exuding a heart-rending pain.
Just as he gritted his teeth and persisted, the masked man in black suddenly stared at him closely, and the light in his eyes shot straight into his heart.
With just a glance, her heart, which had already fallen to the bottom of the valley, seemed to suddenly see the light through the cracks in the clouds, and suddenly found the rope on which to climb, and dragged herself slowly back to the top of the mountain abruptly.
It's Xun Yu.
It turns out that he is not the only one who has been forgotten.
Xun Yu walked towards her, put one hand through her waist and hugged her horizontally, deliberately lowered his original voice and said to everyone: "My brothers are still outside, I have to go back overnight to report to Lu The general is on a mission."
A Sheng was nervous and didn't dare to vent his breath, lest those men would see any clues, so he could only pretend to resist, twisted in Xun Yu's arms, slapped him on the shoulder hard, and shouted loudly: " Let me down! Let Madam Ben down quickly!"
After going out the door tremblingly, she breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing that the people behind him did not follow, Xun Yu quickly put her down gently.His hands calmly untied the ropes that bound her, his movements were gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her.
The wind and rain were blowing, and the big raindrops hit her crazily, and the roaring thunderclap made Ah Sheng shiver uncontrollably.
Xun Yu's voice was like the breeze passing through the whirling willow branches, gentle as jade, and he always kept a certain distance from her: "These people who hijacked you are all Xuzhou people. Lu Bu secretly lured them with their hatred and money to make them Take you as a hostage to threaten General Cao."
As he spoke, he motioned for A Sheng to follow him quickly, and said, "We have to leave here quickly. This is Runan, where Lu Bu is in charge, and the real wiring subordinates are probably coming soon."
Hearing this, Ah Sheng felt a chill all over his body.If it wasn't for Xun Yu's rescue this time, I'm afraid I would really be that kind of hostage.
She couldn't help speeding up her steps to follow Xun Yu, stepping on the puddles carefully, not daring to slack off.
She looked around vigilantly while running, and inadvertently, through the slanting rain curtain, she saw Jin'er in plain clothes not far away looking at her quietly.
She supported the wall all the way across the street, and the surrounding was eerily silent, as if she couldn't hear the slightest sound of people.
After tormenting, he walked to the gate of the post house, and there was a girl in white clothes standing under the tree.
"Jin'er?" She walked to Jin'er with heavy steps and called out.
