Chapter 21 Robbed

With the old man's questioning, the people around him gathered spontaneously and followed Qiu Yao's guidance. Occasionally, a few people recognized that Miss Xie, who had made contributions in the teahouse, wanted to defend her, but they had to give up the idea because there were so many accusing people.

Qiu Yao listened to the old man's words and said that she couldn't help but beat the horse, but because she couldn't tell the truth, she had to quibble like a real thief. "It hasn't been a long time since I've been here. It's not strange that I'm not familiar with it."

The old man sneered when he heard the words, "The person who can own this horse must not be an ordinary person. Can the girl tell who the horse giver is?"

"This old man is joking. Who said that a person who has a good horse must be a famous man? The hermit in the mountains has no place. Since he is a recluse, how can I rashly say this person's name, which is disturbed and pure? Qiu Yao is simply a scoundrel to the end. Anyway, she didn't steal or rob this horse. Even if she tells a few lies, it's just to take care of the overall situation.

"In that case, I won't force the girl to say that person's name in front of many people," Qiu Yao heard the old man say that and just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but she heard him suddenly say something that made her go. Please also ask the girl to follow me to the place where there is a person and inform the identity of the person. I will guarantee that the person's name will never be revealed, and clarify the matter for the girl.

Qiu Yao almost lost her breath when she heard this. If she hadn't looked at the old man's old and serious appearance, she would have desperately associated him with obscene aspects. She can lead the horse and leave directly, but she should know that in an era of advocating martial arts and righteousness like the pre-Qin Dynasty, fame is almost the foundation of a person. A person with a good reputation must be in a high position and hold the power, and will still get everyone's users, and if a person has a bad reputation, it will be difficult to tolerate the world.

"Then please ask the old gentleman to lead the way." Qiu Yao had no choice but to lead the horse to follow the old man to a secluded place, thinking about how to deal with the old man's questions next all the way.

Just as Qiu Yao lowered her head and struggled with how to respond, things suddenly changed dramatically. The old man walking in front of him turned his back to Qiu Yao for a while, and then turned around with a young man's face.

rely on it——

"Don't be surprised, Miss Xie. I can't help doing this. This horse belongs to my younger brother. Do you know where my younger brother is now?" The man looked sincere.

Brother? It should be the Wang Sui who came back yesterday, right? As soon as the frank words came to her mouth, Qiu Yao vaguely felt something was wrong. If Wang Suix really had a brother, why didn't she mention it when she woke up?

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Qiu Yao suddenly became alert.

"My brother and I were originally Zhao people who came to the State of Chu to do business. Unexpectedly, I met a group of vicious robbers when I passed through here. They took away the goods of us and hurt people. In the middle, I lost my brother. This horse was the horse that I took when my brother was injured and escaped. Please read it to me to save people's hearts and tell me the whereabouts of my brother. I know, I and my brother will be very grateful to the girl!"

Qiu Yao listened to the flawed words of the person in front of her without saying a word, slowly narrowed the distance from the horse, raised her hand behind the man and pointed to him, "I hid him there."

At the moment when the man looked back, Qiu Yao quickly stepped on the horse's back and galloped in the direction of the time. While urging the horse under her, she tried to suppress the fear in her heart. This person deceived her to this uninhabited place and would never have any good intentions.

"Wow--" The mute under her body suddenly lost its front hoof. Qiu Yao's whole body failed to grasp the balance. She fell from the horse and rolled on the ground twice. She shouted in her heart that it was not good, but thinking that she should have been more than a hundred meters away from the man just now, it may be too late to escape from the horse again.

Just as she was about to get up and get back on the horse, a pair of soap-colored boots suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Why did Miss Xie run away?" This sound...

Qiu Yao's heart suddenly sank. No wonder the horse suddenly lost its front hoof. She felt that she didn't have the courage to look up at the man in front of her at all. She met twice. The first time he was to save her, but this time it was to rob her.

Qiu Yao was no longer stubborn. She stood up and patted the grass and soil on her body. Looking at her toes, she replied weakly, "If he is really the brother of the injured, the injured will not say a word."

While talking, the man in the middle who pretended to lie to her before has chased after him and knelt down in front of the man in black breathlessly. He was frightened. "If you don't do anything well, please ask the deputy commander to punish him."

"After going back, take the responsibility of 30 sticks." The voice of the man in black was so cold that there was no temperature at all. Qiu Yao was scared by the word "deputy leader" and said slowly to the person in panic, "Since Miss Xie doesn't want to hand over the person, go back with us."

"Go back? Where are you going back!" Qiu Yao raised her head in horror, but found that the man in black did not look at her. Then a stuffy pain came from the back of her neck, and she lost consciousness and collapsed.

When Qiu Yao opened her eyes again, she found herself in a completely strange environment. There was only a bed and a pair of tables and chairs in the room. The only side was sealed by thick coarse cloth, and the cramped hut was filled with a restless and turbid smell.

Confirming that there was no one around, Qiu Yao crept out of bed. When she walked to the door, she heard a slight conversation outside. Just as she wanted to open the door and eavesdrop, the person outside had already noticed the movement inside. She pushed the door open first. Qiu Yao said "Ouch" and fell to the ground.

The person who opened the door was the middle-aged man who had previously disguised himself as an old man. He looked at Qiu Yao, who was sitting on the ground with disgust, and said contemptuously to the people outside in a contemptuous tone, "Isn't the amount of this medicine too small? I woke up in just a few days?"

It's only... such a few days???

"Whough will it starve people to death if she keeps sleeping?" The people outside replied absent-mindedly. Qiu Yao stood up and kept contempt for the questioner. Her tricks were exposed and she held a grudge. At this time, she came to wait for the opportunity to retaliate against her.

Then a big man walked into the room with a cloth bag and a bowl of not very clear water and put it on the table. "Eat it."

Qiu Yao found that there was a room outside. The big man put down his things and went out. The middle-aged man sneered twice and walked out of the door. Before leaving, I didn't forget to add the sentence, "I really don't understand why I still want to keep this cumbersome woman."

Qiu Yao made a face at the reopened door. She went to the table and opened the cloth bag and found that there were two cakes in it. She picked it up and took a bite. It was dry and hard to swallow.

From the conversation between the two just now, it can be judged that she has not eaten for a few days. Qiu Yao felt that her stomach was empty and her throat was so dry that she could not swallow. She raised her hand and picked up the bowl on the table and was about to drink water, but suddenly stopped all her movements. According to this situation, these people are likely to take medicine in the water and let her sleep peacefully.

Qiu Yao was cruel and ate the two cakes cleanly. She felt that her esophagus had been scratched, and it was difficult to make a sound like a fire. He picked up the bowl on the table and took a sip, but just rinsed his mouth and moistened it. Then he went to the bedside and opened the bedding and poured down all the remaining water. Then he covered the sheets and put down the bowl. Qiu Yao lay down for a while and yawned exaggeratedly.

A few minutes later, the people outside opened the door of the inner room and found that Qiu Yao was lying asleep, so he went in and cleaned up the things on the table and said to the outside, "Ok."

Qiu Yao, who was lying on ** pretending to sleep, moved her eyelids.

"The deputy commander hasn't come back yet. Do you want me to take some of my men to have a look?"

"No need." Qiu Yao's eyelids moved again. This is the voice of the man in black. It seems that he has just come back. How is she doing?

While talking, the man had strode into the room. Qiu Yao was afraid of being seen through, and she was suddenly very nervous.

"I just ate and fell asleep."

The man in black who was called did not speak, and Qiu Yao guessed that he might have nodded.

"Let's go." Before the words fell, Qiu Yao felt her whole body rise in the air and almost didn't make a sound.

Is it the man in black who picked up Qiu Yao horizontally? No, it was a big man who carried her on his shoulder...

Qiu Yao's nasal cavity was full of the strong sour taste of sweat on the big man's body, and her lower abdomen was close to the big man's biceps, which was painful. Coupled with severe bumps, Qiu Yao only felt that her stomach was turned upside down, and she almost didn't spit out all the food she had just ate.

The big man threw Qiu Yao with his little arms and calves into a half car with half a carload of firewood, and then squatted down to collect the other half of the firewood and grass on Qiu Yao.

Feeling that the car under her began to move, Qiu Yao quietly opened her eyes, but found that her vision was basically blocked by firewood and grass. He En could not see how many people were around her. She could only judge that it should be afternoon.

"The deputy commander went to Yunmeng to inquire about the news. Can he find the exact place of the king of Chu?" The question was a strange voice of Qiu Yao. Hearing the word King of Chu, Qiu Yao couldn't help but prick up her ears. If it is very close to Yunmeng, she may be able to ask Song Yu and Jingcha for help.

Her eyes touched a familiar white, and Qiu Yao was suddenly excited. They actually brought the white horse out together. It can be seen that the white horse is a swift horse, but it is true.

Hearing the cold answer of the man in black, Qiu Yao's heart was full of mixed feelings. Two months after coming to the Warring States Period, Qiu Yao was not most familiar with the Xie family, but the two men with only a few faces. She was in danger alone, and she only thought about these two people.

Qiu Yao only felt that her eyes were hot, and she couldn't help clenched the firewood under her body.

"Now that we have got the whereabouts of the king of Chu, is our next thing to take his head and pay tribute to the general and the king?"

"Have you forgotten the reason for the failure of the last assassination?"

Assassination! Qiu Yao was stunned. It turned out that it was these people who had been assassinated and made trouble before.
