The following text
So awesome...he actually used the front of the sword to deflect the silver needle.
Zhao Hongrun looked at the young man in white standing in front of him in surprise.
Perhaps out of concern for him and the little girl Yang Toixing, the young man in white stood in front of them and blocked the silver needle with the blade of his sword. Zhao Hongrun was moved by this chivalrous heart.
But when he saw his brothers crying and begging the fleeing Chu people to come back, Zhao Hongrun suddenly felt that this group of people was a bit... well, unusual.
But the most surprising thing was the witch who shot the silver needle at Zhao Hongrun.
Wow, you look so cold...
Zhao Hongrun observed the witch carefully, and was quite surprised, because he found that although the other party covered half of her face with a scarf and scarf-like white silk, it could still be seen that the other party's delicate and beautiful face had flaws.
What's strange is that this woman's eyes are cold and her face is frosty, as if she is truly an outsider.
"Get out of the way!" the witch scolded the boy in white: "It's none of your business!"
"It's none of my business?" The boy in white pointed at the empty surroundings and said angrily: "This place used to be full of people, but now? Ah? What else do you mean it's none of my business? Do you know how many of us there are?
What do you guys eat these days? You live on the wild fruits you picked in the past...I slept in the snow and ate wild fruits. I finally arrived in Zhengyang County. I wanted to save some money for a good meal. Sister, you came to disturb me again.
Haha, hehe..."
Hey, hey, your laughter is more than a little scary...
Listening to the desperate laughter that sounded like a person breaking down, Zhao Hongrun had a vague feeling that the young man in white who saved his life was more terrifying than the two witches who wanted to take his life combined.
"whispering sound!"
The aloof miko glared at the young man in white as if she wanted to kill her, but the latter remained unmoved at all.
fear?
Zhao Hongrun was slightly stunned. From the cold witch's eyes, he could see her fear of the young man in white.
Just as he was in a daze, he suddenly heard several bangs and the sound of a human body falling to the ground nearby.
Zhao Hongrun subconsciously turned his head to look at the field, but was shocked to find that Shen Yu, Zhang Ao, Chu Heng, Li Meng and others who were besieging and trying to capture the other witch alive fell to the ground one after another for some unknown reason. There was no more.
movement.
The brothers of the young men in white also fell to the ground.
"Ayi, Anu?" The face of the young man in white changed drastically, and he quickly ran over to check the situation.
At this time, Yan Mo, the general of the Pingyang Army who was still awake, saw him kneeling on the ground holding the wrist of his right hand with his left hand. He shouted to Zhao Hongrun with a look of pain on his face: "Your Highness, the demon girl secretly poisoned you. Go up quickly."
tuyere!"
After that, he fell to the ground with a thud for some unknown reason.
What...what's going on?
Before Zhao Hongrun could come to his senses, he suddenly found that the sheep next to him fell to the ground with a groan, and he himself immediately smelled a faint, sweet smell like the fragrance of flowers.
I see……
Zhao Hongrun, who felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, fell to the snow with a thud.
Seeing this, the two witches quickly picked up Zhao Hongrun and quickly disappeared into the street.
At this time, there was only the young man in white squatting next to his brothers on the street, checking on their status.
"Is it just a drug-like powder? It's okay. But..."
He turned his head and looked towards the direction where Zhao Hongrun was held hostage by the two witches.
"Your Highness...?"
Not to mention that when Shen Yu and others woke up and found that Zhao Hongrun had been kidnapped, they were shocked and angry, and immediately informed Baili Ba, the general of Junshui Camp.
When Bailiba learned that Zhao Hongrun had been kidnapped, he became angry and quickly ordered the Junshui Camp to search the entire city.
During this period, Qu Cheng, who came after hearing the news, was also shocked and ordered Ping Yang's soldiers to search outside the city.
Just kidding, His Highness King Su is the life-saving talisman of their Pingyang Army in the future in Wei State, how could anything go wrong?!
Not to mention that the entire Zhengyang County was in an uproar because of Zhao Hongrun's kidnapping, let's talk about Zhao Hongrun.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a wooden house somewhere unknown. He was tightly tied to a pillar in the house with ropes.
And in the center of the wooden house not far away, there was a blazing fire.
Above the fire, on the simple shelf, a wolf, a fox, or some other beast was strung on a branch as thick as a stick and roasted on the fire.
On both sides of the fire, the two witches were sitting on their knees as if they were sitting upright. It was unclear whether they were closing their eyes and concentrating, or simply waiting for the large skewer of meat to be roasted.
"He's awake."
Suddenly, a female voice sounded in the quiet room. Judging from the voice, it should be the cold-looking miko.
How did she find out?
Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
But since the other party somehow found out that he was awake, there was no need for him to pretend to be unconscious.
"Who are you two?" Zhao Hongrun asked in a deep voice: "I have no enmity with you two, why do you want to attack me?"
The cold witch turned to look at Zhao Hongrun and stated in her usual cold tone: "You are from Wei and the son of the King of Wei. This time you led your army into Chu and captured the eighteen cities of Chu. , coercing Da Chu people from several counties to move to Runan..."
"Are you from Chu?" Zhao Hongrun interrupted the other party and asked with a frown.
The other party did not answer, but just said to himself: "Return the eighteen cities of my Da Chu, and order your army not to force the people of my Da Chu again. My two sisters will let you go back. Otherwise..."
She did not continue speaking, but she believed that Zhao Hongrun had understood the implication of her words.
It turns out it’s not a personal grudge…
Zhao Hongrun felt relieved after hearing this and breathed a sigh of relief.
What he is most worried about right now is that these two witches are here for personal grudges, which will be more difficult.
In fact, he was still considering whether these two witches were assassins sent by Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo. After all, Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo had an irresolvable grudge with him. It was not surprising that the other party wanted him dead. .
But after a second thought, Zhao Hongrun rejected this speculation.
Because in his opinion, after the negotiations in the past few days, his dispute with the Chu State should come to an end for the time being. Neither the Chu State nor Xiong Tuo, the Lord of Yangcheng, would plot to kill Zhao Hongrun at this time.
After all, ever since King Xi of Qi intervened in the dispute between Chu and Wei, the State of Chu no longer dared to continue fighting with the State of Wei, so it did not hesitate to pay compensation to make peace, but also to resolve the dispute with Zhao Hongrun, and at least restore it first to non-aggression.
And in this case, even if Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, hates him Zhao Hongrun, he will not be stupid enough to send an assassin to assassinate him. After all, Zhao Hongrun is the son of King Wei, and he is one of the two favorite sons of King Wei. , This is not Zhao Hongrun's boast, but it is certain that if anything happens to him in Chu State, I believe that his father Zhao Yuanxi will never let it go.
This means that the coalition forces of Qi, Wei, and Lu will reach an agreement as quickly as possible and send troops to attack Chu together.
This is definitely not what Chu State or Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo want to see.
Therefore, these two witches cannot be sent by Chu State or Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo.
Could it be that I, the Wei man, was behind this again?
Recalling the attack on the Chu envoy, Zhao Hongrun did not dare to be careless.
But after thinking about it carefully, he still ruled out this possibility. After all, according to the fragments of words he heard from Yan Mo these days, it was enough to prove that the status of the witch in Chu State was not low. Therefore, it was the Wei people who were driving these two people behind the scenes. The possibility of becoming a witch is very low.
Is it Pakistan?
Zhao Hongrun frowned and thought.
Wu, this is a theory of ghosts and gods that is only spread in Chu and Ba. Just like the people of Wei worship the gods of heaven and earth, Ba and Chu are more inclined to worship ghosts and gods. For example, Zhu Rong, the most famous fire master in the humanistic culture of Chu , there are countless images, cultures, and legends about Him. The inscription that Zhao Hongrun saw on the furnace tripod in the Yangyu family's home was one of the images of Zhu Rong, the Fire Master. Note: " "He" refers to the special name for God.
It is said that the witchcraft religions in Bach and Chu are not separated. Could it be that they belong to the Ba Kingdom?
After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Hongrun shook his head secretly.
You must know that Ba does not refer to just one country. There are many small countries in the land of Bashu. These small countries together are called Ba.
Therefore, unless the Ba Kingdom is completely unified, even if someone is behind the scenes and prompts the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei, and Lu to attack Chu, a small country in the land of Bashu will not be able to gain anything in this massacre between big countries. Cheap.
As for Qi and Han, it is even more impossible because they are too far away from Qi. How could they find two witches to catch Zhao Hongrun by such a coincidence.
The suspects were eliminated one by one. However, in the end, Zhao Hongrun became more and more confused as he thought about it because he really could not find the so-called person who was instigating the two witches behind the scenes.
Suddenly, a strange guess emerged in his mind.
Wait, it’s not just the two of them who made their own decisions, right?
Zhao Hongrun looked at the two witch sisters with a strange expression.
The ordinary people he was thinking of refer to the top brass of the Chu State who were not making decisions, nor were they being used by any force. They were the common people of the Chu State who simply acted according to their own ideas.
Hey hey hey, if that's really the case, that would be... troublesome.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun lowered his voice and asked tentatively: "Is this good? As an unrelated civilian, I interfere in the decision-making of two big countries without authorization."
"..." The cold witch's eyes changed slightly when she heard this.
You guessed it!... Damn it!
Zhao Hongrun cursed secretly in his heart, because this was the situation he least expected to see.
It's troublesome, it's troublesome, it's troublesome... It's an ordinary civilian. How can I convince the other party from the overall situation?
At this moment, another miko's voice sounded in the room.
The voice sounded warm, but those words made Zhao Hongrun feel as helpless as a scholar encountering a soldier.
"Sister, let me tell you that he will not easily hand over the city of Da Chu... unless he is allowed to taste life worse than death first!"
Hey hey hey...
Listening to that cold tone, Zhao Hongrun felt a chill rising up his back. (To be continued.)
