No wonder the Marquis always brings her with him when he comes to a place like this. It seems that this concubine is really good at talking.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at the soldiers. Although they were being beaten, the soldiers who were beating them were quietly letting go.
The scream she heard last night rang in her ears. She thought about it and asked Shen Lie, "May I ask, which marquis is this?"
"Young lady, don't you know?" The beautiful concubine said blankly.
Shen Lie replied: "Marquis Jing'an."
Xia Zhaoyi blinked: "Who?"
The look on his face didn't seem like he hadn't heard clearly, but that he had heard clearly and was surprised.
Shen Lie looked at her: "Master Jingan, do you know Ah Li?"
"Tao Daizhuo?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.
The beautiful concubine was unhappy nearby. Where did the little girl come from? She called the Marquis by his first name. This was really disrespectful.
Shen Lie nodded.
Xia Zhaoyi blinked again and turned to look at the earth temple, in disbelief.
Who is Tao Daizhuo?
Tao Lan's biological uncle.
What crime did Tao Lan commit?
If it weren't for this woman, perhaps today's situation would be completely different.
Duke Dingguo's mansion is still there, father is still there, eldest brother is still there, and she is still there.
Tao Lan stole a large number of marching plans from Jiang Jingchang. She also colluded with the Jin brothers on behalf of Yi Shurong, which led to the rebellion of General Weng Ying's left army.
There are also countless conspiracies and cruel methods.
Although Xia Zhaoyi had never recognized the word "implicated" following his master's teachings, the crime committed by Tao Lan, under the laws of Daqian, was not an exaggeration to kill ten clans.
Tao Daizhuo is still a Marquis.
"Do you know Lord Jing'an?" Dai Yu asked.
Shen Lie also looked at Xia Zhaoyi. From the moment he said the three words Marquis Jing'an just now, the little girl's face began to turn pale.
Xia Zhaoyi withdrew his gaze, shook his head, and said nothing.
There is some hoarseness in the throat, dryness and discomfort.
On the other side of the earth temple is a mountain valley, open and deep, filled with tents.
The group of people followed the concubine through the earth temple, and there was a temporary tent set up in the earth courtyard behind.
The tent is very spacious, equipped with tables, bamboo mats and screens.
The concubine went to bring tea and came back with a few maids.
Xia Zhaoyi did not go in. She sat on the carriage, leaning against the outside of the carriage, watching Shitou tying horses and feeding fodder over there.
Shitou was a little annoyed by being stared at, so he turned around and said, "What are you looking at?"
Xia Zhaoyi came back to his senses, fixed his gaze, and said softly: "Do you know how Song Lang suppressed the bandits?"
"Then you ask Song Lang to go." Shitou said.
Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said, "Do you know that Mr. Guo Shu was famous for three things in the capital when he was young?"
Shitou was stunned: "Old Master? What is he famous for?"
"Ask Guo Shu." Xia Zhaoyi said.
"you!"
"Me." Xia Zhaoyi said.
How can there be such a disgusting child when he grinds his teeth with stones?
He turned around and walked over: "This is my young master's car. Don't sit in it. Get off."
Xia Zhaoyi jumped out of the car.
But Shi Shi grabbed her arm again and tried to push her out: "Stay away."
"Stone!" Dai Yu came over with a tray and shouted when he saw this, "What are you doing!"
"Don't do anything!" Shitou replied, looking at Xia Zhaoyi, "Don't get close to the carriage."
Unexpectedly, the little girl was neither angry nor annoyed, with a calm expression and a hint of smile: "Okay."
"You've come a long way, Shitou!" Dai Yu strode over, "You're almost 20 years old, what are you doing to a little girl?"
"What a girl, she's not young anymore. At her age, I can travel all over the world."
"Isn't Ah Li also traveling around?" Dai Yu said.
Yes, she also catches snakes.
Where can I find the appearance of a female doll?
Don't start with stones.
Dai Yu's tray contained two bowls of iced mung bean soup. He came to Xia Zhaoyi first and said, "Ah Li, if you don't like the Tremella and Lotus Seeds, there is also mung bean soup here, please order some."
Xia Zhaoyi glanced at the mung bean soup and reached out to pick up a bowl: "Thank you, Brother Dai."
"Don't be angry with Shitou, he has such a temper."
"Do you think I'm angry?" Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile.
The girl's gentle and calm appearance was generous and generous, and it didn't look like she was forcing a smile just to embarrass her.
Dai Yu also smiled, then looked at the stone, passed over and handed the tray: "Here, get it yourself."
"No." Shitou said.
"You are eighteen or nineteen years old, why are you worse than a child?" Dai Yu handed over the mung bean soup, "Take it."
The stone was still picked up.
After taking a sip, it tastes sweet and moisturizes the throat and cools the lungs.
The little girl over there turned around and walked to the roadside, sat down with the bowl in her hands, and put the bowl next to her.
"Ah Li, why don't you follow me in?" Dai Yu turned around and said, "The sun is shining brightly outside."
Xia Zhaoyi shook his head: "No, thank you, Brother Dai."
"That's it, drink it quickly," Dai Yu pointed at the mung bean soup, "The young master asked me to bring it out specially."
"Yeah." Xia Zhaoyi smiled.
But still didn't touch it.
Dai Yu turned around and went back.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at the soldiers who were still beating and being beaten in the distance, and then looked at the frame of horse grass hanging behind the blue clouds.
There is a baggage at the bottom of the horse grass. The small wooden plaques in the baggage are each engraved with ninety-eight names.
Except for the eighty-one soldiers who followed her to the execution ground, the remaining sixteen died in battle before being captured.
There is also a wooden sign with Xia Zhaoyi written on it.
Is it a worthy death?
Maybe.
Die without regrets?
No!
Even though the sun was shining brightly, Xia Zhaoyi's back was getting colder and colder, and her fingers were trembling.
She had an impulse that made her want to take a knife and rush into the bedroom behind the earth temple and cut into pieces the Marquis Jing'an who was sleeping inside.
But at the same time, he understood that no matter how heinous Tao Lan's sins were, others should not be shouldered.
Yes, it should not be borne by others.
Xia Zhaoyi said softly in her heart.
But she really hates her so much that her blood is boiling and boiling. She needs to exert great control to suppress this grief and anger.
"Why don't you drink?" Shitou asked.
Although he didn't like this little girl, Dai Yu's words just now made him wake up.
The little girl in front of me is really less than ten years old, and her appearance and height are very immature.
Maybe the first meeting left a bad impression, as he never seemed to regard her as a girl.
"Don't drink." Xia Zhaoyi whispered.
"Why are you taking it if you don't want to drink it? Just drink it. It's such a hot day. This is delicious."
"Shen Langjun's wishes are sent by Brother Dai himself, so of course I will accept them." Xia Zhaoyi replied.
But she doesn’t want anything from the Tao family.
"What do you mean?" Shitou looked at her, "They say my name is Shitou and I have the same temper as Shitou. Why are you more like a stone than me?"
Xia Zhaoyi took a deep breath, stood up and said, "You help me watch Qingyun. I'll be back in two hours."
"Where are you going?"
Xia Zhaoyi had already turned around and headed towards the mountains, saying as he walked: "Catch the snake."
