Chapter 609: Lean Meat Vegetable Porridge
Liu Xin is not only in a high position, but also has a good chance of becoming the future emperor of the Han Dynasty. This point is not only clear to the Han people in Liu Xin's ruling area, but even Beigong Boyu, the leader of the Qiang tribe who is familiar with the situation of the Han Dynasty, can also see it very clearly. Since he became the pastor of Jingzhou, people have continued to give gifts to Liu Xin, and among these gifts, in addition to gold, silver and jewelry, women are naturally indispensable. But to this day, no woman has dared to refuse, let alone want to assassinate him.
In fact, it's no wonder that a high-powered, young and handsome man like Liu Xin, in this era of male superiority and inferiority, is a golden beetle son-in-law who is difficult to find with a lantern, even if he marries him as a concubine, it is not a shameful thing, who will assassinate him?
Of course, there is an exception, and that is Minchan. However, Minchan wanted to be unfavorable to Liu Xin because she was instructed by Wang Yun, and Minchan herself did not want to assassinate Liu Xin from the bottom of her heart. But Beigong Yan is different, Liu Xin can see at a glance that this will definitely not come from Beigong Boyu's instructions, but Beigong Yan herself is unwilling.
Even if Liu Xin didn't look down on Beigong Yan originally, he couldn't help but challenge himself now. He slowly walked up to Beigong Yan and patted her delicate pretty face gently. Beigong Yan said in horror: "You, what do you want to do?" ”
Beigong Yan was indeed scolding Liu Xin in Qiang just now, but now she didn't dare to use Qiang to talk to Liu Xin anymore, because Liu Xin couldn't understand it at all, and Liu Xin's movements were obviously frivolous, so how could she not be afraid.
Liu Xin sneered: "What do you say I'm going to do?" ”
Beigong Yan couldn't help but shudder, and said tremblingly: "You, don't mess around, otherwise, otherwise I will die for you!" ”
Liu Xin was a little surprised, and said, "Oh, the temperament is strong enough." Okay, I won't touch you yet, you say, why kill me? ”
Beigong Yan snorted, twisted her head to the side, and said nothing.
Liu Xin slapped his face and said, "I don't want to say yes, do you?" It doesn't matter, I have time, you have to figure it out here, when you figure it out, when you tell me. ”
Hearing this, the two guards walked in and said, "What does the lord command?" ”
Liu Xin stretched and said, "I'll leave it to you here, give me a good look at her, when will she say it, and when will she give her food." ”
The next day, there was an extra prisoner car in the team, and Beigong Yan was handcuffed and shackled, sitting in the car dejectedly, with exhaustion written on her face. Last night, she was stunned and didn't want to say a word, but Liu Xin was also ruthless, and she really didn't let her eat. And Beigong Qian rode a jujube red horse and followed Liu Xin, turning around from time to time to look at the niece in the prisoner car and shaking her head and sighing.
The Qiang people, like the Xiongnu, can ride horses both men and women, and Beigong Qian's riding skills are quite good. Although Liu Xin didn't ask Beigong Qian to sleep last night, she let her eat a sumptuous dinner that she had never eaten in her life, and until now, there seemed to be those wonderful flavors on the tip of her tongue. She couldn't figure it out, why didn't Yan'er, this little girl, know what to do? Beigong Qian has secretly made up her mind to find an opportunity to persuade this girl to wake up as soon as possible, so as not to stay in this prison car and suffer again.
After a day's walk, the team crossed the Luyin River in the evening and set up camp on the riverside. Beigong Qian's movements were not restricted, she left the tent under the pretext of going to the river to get water. Beigong Qian looked around, but no guards followed her, so she quietly came to the prisoner car.
At this time, it was meal time, and there were no guards next to the prisoner car, probably the guards went to eat, and Beigong Qian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, there are no guards here at night, because this is already the center of the camp, even if there is no one to guard it, there is no need to worry that Beigong Yan will escape.
Because Beigong Yan stubbornly refused to explain why she assassinated Liu Xin, the guards in charge of escorting her didn't give her food all day, and only fed her water twice halfway, so she looked very weak.
Although Beigong Qian is Beigong Yan's aunt, a generation higher than her, because the two are of the same age, they urinate and play together, but their relationship is closer than that of their sisters. Seeing Beigong Yan suffering in the prison car, Beigong Qian couldn't help but shed tears and whispered: "Yan'er, why are you suffering." ”
Beigong Yan smiled miserably and said, "Aunt Qian, I have been, I have ......"
Beigong Qian saw that she wanted to speak and stopped, and suddenly her heart was shocked. The relationship between men and women in the Qiang tribe is relatively casual, and there are many things that have been secretly happy with their lovers before they get married, as long as they are in love with each other, they don't care if they can come together in the future. Beigong Qian himself has a lover, but that lover has died in last year's Guanzhong War. But Beigong Qian has heard that Han men like to have a perfect body, and he can't do it anymore, is Beigong Yan already ......
However, when Beigong Qian raised her head and saw the faint fluff on Beigong Yan's lips, she was convinced that she had not gone through the affairs of men and women. But what does Beigong Yan mean? Beigong Qian suddenly understood, and hurriedly asked, "Yan'er, do you have a sweetheart?" ”
Beigong Yan bit her lip and nodded with difficulty.
Beigong Qian sighed and said, "Why are you so stupid, just make it clear to the elders directly." ”
Beigong Yan shook his head and said, "I can't tell my father, because, because he is a member of the Burning Dang tribe." ”
The Burning Dang tribe and the Xianling tribe were originally feuding, although they reluctantly stood together in order to fight against the Han people together, but they still exclude each other in their bones, and marriage is absolutely impossible, how dare Beigong Yan tell Beigong Boyu about this?
Beigong Qian couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's really wronged." ”
Suddenly, Beigong Yan caught a glimpse of a figure that seemed to flash not far away, and hurriedly said, "Aunt Qian, go quickly, someone is coming." ”
Beigong Qian didn't dare to stay, so she had to hurry back to her camp.
At this time, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Minchan stuffed a pastry into Liu Xin's mouth, and said softly: "The girl in the prison car is also pitiful, she has been hungry for a day and a night, or the master will let her go?" ”
Liu Xin said slowly: "Do you know that she almost killed my master and me yesterday." ”
Minchan smiled "poof" and said, "Master, who doesn't know your ability, just such a delicate little girl, can she hurt you?" I'm afraid the old man has already seen that there is something wrong with her. ”
Liu Xin nodded and said, "It's still my Chan'er who is smart." Yes, I often watch you dance, and I can also see that this Beigong Yan is also a good dancer, but when she danced yesterday, her left hand movement has been a little stiff, as if she can't stretch it. At that time, I took a closer look, and sure enough, I noticed something unusual. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Xin's face suddenly sank, and she said: "Of course, she can't hurt me, but if I don't find out what reason she wants to attack me, I still won't let her go." Because I'm afraid she'll be bad for you. ”
Liangzhou is not as good as the Central Plains, where the people are fierce and there are many villages where Han and Qiang live together, who knows if there will be any accidents. Therefore, after entering the territory of Liangzhou, Liu Xin strengthened the protection of Minchan and Yan Rui's mother and daughter. And after yesterday's battle, Beigong Yan obviously knew that it was very difficult to assassinate Liu Xin, and if she was released, no one could guarantee whether she would transfer her target to her own woman.
Minchan thought about it for a while, and felt that what Liu Xin said made some sense, but she was kind after all, and thinking of the girl's pitiful appearance, she persuaded again: "Master, if you refuse to let her go, forget it, you have to give her something to eat." ”
As he was talking, the curtain suddenly lifted, and Lanielle hurried in from outside.
Liu Xin hurriedly asked, "What have you found?" ”
It turned out that Liu Xin deliberately asked the guards guarding Beigong Yan to walk away quietly, so as to give Beigong Qian a chance to meet her, maybe she could hear a hint from their conversation. Although Lanier was a Huns, she could understand the words of the Qiang people, so Liu Xin sent her out. The figure that Beigong Yan found just now was Lanier hiding in the shadows.
Lanier lowered her head and said: "Back to the lord and the lady, they spoke very softly, and they were far away, and the slave and maid only vaguely heard something with a heart and the like, so they hurried back to report to the master, but the other things were not very clear." ”
Minchan laughed and said, "Master, now you can rest assured, it turns out that it was just that you wanted to break up the couple, and they did it to you, and there was no special conspiracy at all." You see, isn't it ......"
Liu Xin waved her hand, but asked Lanier again, "Did you really hear it?" ”
Liu Xin is very clear about Laniel's thoughts. Ever since she made her Minchan's personal maid, she has always thought that one day she can be like Qiao'er and them. Now two beautiful Qiang girls suddenly appeared, which was a real threat to her, and it was hard to guarantee that she would not lie in this matter, so Liu Xin wanted to make sure. In fact, Lanier really didn't want the pair of aunts and nephews to intervene, but she definitely didn't dare to deceive Liu Xin.
Hearing Liu Xin's question, Lanier hurriedly said: "What else they said, the slave maid really couldn't hear it clearly, but the words 'someone with a heart' were blurted out by Beigong Qian, but the slave and maid heard it clearly, and saw Beigong Yan nodding again and again, it must not be bad." ”
Liu Xin pondered for a moment, and felt that there was no flaw in Laniel's words, and she should not be lying, so she couldn't help but nod and said, "Laniel, you make a vegetable porridge and send it over, just say that Mrs. asked you to send it, remember to put some minced meat." ”
Lanielle said yes and ran to the back tent. She was a hard-working girl, her hands and feet were nimble, and in just a moment's effort, a bowl of fragrant lean meat porridge was served in front of Beigong Yan.
