Chapter 29 Keeping the Promise
At midnight that day, Li Shimin and others finally caught up with the army.
Li Yuan glanced at the black sacks on Tang Jian and Duan Zhixuan's horses, and his eyes rested on Wang Yu, who was sleeping soundly against Li Shimin, "Is the matter done?"
Li Shimin replied: "It's done."
"Then let's go."
Li Yuan gave the order: "Let's go."
Cheng Zhijie and the others drove their horses to Li Shimin's side, and also took a look at the two large sacks.
At this time, Cheng Zhijie, Xu Shiji, and Zhang Liang were already wearing the armor of Li Yuan's army and became cavalrymen.
Cheng Zhijie asked Li Shimin curiously: "You let us go, aren't you afraid that we will run away midway?"
Li Shimin smiled, his face full of confidence: "I believe in my own vision."
What an arrogant and narcissistic guy, Zhang Liang complained in his heart.
Cheng Zhijie said nothing more and continued to follow the team.
****
the next day.
Zhang Xutuo glanced around and found that two people were missing: "Where is Qin Qiong? Where is Luo Shixin?"
The subordinate replied: "General Qi, they didn't come to Dianmao today. I went to look for them where they live, but they weren't there either. I heard that they went out last night and never came back."
Someone stood up and said, "General, I saw them heading north of the city yesterday. I heard they were looking for Qin Qiong's brother."
"Brother? He is the only son of his father. Where did he get a brother?" Zhang Xutuo valued Qin Qiong and knew everything about his family's situation.
This man happened to follow Qin Qiong to the government office yesterday, and told Zhang Xutuo everything he saw yesterday, "...General, could it be that Qin Qiong followed his brother back to Qizhou?"
"nonsense."
Zhang Xutuo cursed and said: "Qin Qiong will not return to Qizhou. Even if he wants to leave, he will tell me and will never disappear silently like this.
"His brother begged all the way to Xingyang and had nowhere else to go. He must still be in Xingyang.
"You guys, go look for me. Even if you search through Xingyang City, you must find Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin."
...
After dawn, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin woke up, kicking and screaming in the sack. Tang Jian and Duan Zhixuan each gave them a punch and stopped.
After a while, the two woke up and started arguing again. Tang Jian and Duan Zhixuan followed suit and gave them another punch.
After three days of traveling like this, Qin Qiong and Duan Zhixuan were thirsty and hungry. They had no strength and even their bones were broken. Not to mention making a fuss, they could only be manipulated.
"Drink some water."
Wang Yu handed the water and dry food to the two of them.
Luo Shixin didn't care so much. He took the water bag and poured it into his mouth. He was too eager and choked: "Ahem..."
"Slow down, no one will compete with you."
Hearing this, Luo Shixin coughed and glared at Wang Yu, "You brat, just wait for me."
Qin Qiong looked at Wang Yu. She wanted to say something but had no energy. She resented her previous behavior and didn't want to use her things. But she was really thirsty. After struggling for a while, she finally took the water bag.
After drinking water, the two wolfed down the dry food.
Seeing their embarrassed looks, Wang Yu felt guilty and sincerely said to them: "I'm sorry."
The two of them made a move.
Luo Shixin became angry and raised his hand to throw something. When he saw that it was dry food, he slowly put it down and cursed: "You brat, I knew you had no good intentions. Why did you arrest me?" ?”
"I didn't want to arrest you." Wang Yu said honestly.
Luo Shixin: "..."
Do you think he deserves to be in this situation?
Luo Shixin got angry and opened his mouth to curse again, but was interrupted by Qin Qiong.
"Why are you arresting me?" Qin Qiong's eyes fell on Wang Yu's face. Although he admitted that Wang Yu's eyes were very similar to his, her behavior... he couldn't agree with her.
Wang Yu sighed lightly, sat on the ground in front of him, and said slowly: "Actually, I don't want to treat my brother like this, but I have to rush back to Taiyuan and don't have extra time to explain to my brother, so I have to make this move."
Qin Qiong looked at her without saying anything, waiting for her explanation.
"Most of what I told my brother before was true. It's just that I didn't wander all the way to Xingyang, but to Xihe. I wasn't caught by the bandits in Wagang Village, but by Zhen Zhai'er.
"It can be said that Li Erlang saved me. Later, I followed him to Taiyuan, then to Xingyang, and then met my brother.
"Tang Guogong is an ambitious man, and Li Erlang is also an ambitious man. I want to follow them, but my brother is under Zhang Xutuo's tent, so it is impossible for him to leave Xingyang for me.
"So... I can only use this method to get my brother to go to Taiyuan with me."
I can barely hear this reason.
Qin Qiong's anger dissipated a little, and she asked the most important question: "Am I...really your brother?"
"yes."
Wang Yu answered without hesitation, his eyes were extremely sincere and sincere. Living in the global village, how can we not be compatriots?
"Okay, I'll go to Taiyuan with you."
Happiness came so suddenly that Wang Yu didn't believe it, "Really? You didn't lie to me?"
"Don't worry, although you and I were born from the same father, I'm different from you. I never lie." Qin Qiong said calmly.
"..."
Wang Yu raised his hand to touch his nose, despising himself in his heart.
Before she could make a move, Li Shimin had already solemnly bowed to Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin and apologized: "The incident happened suddenly, which caused you two to suffer. Shimin apologizes to you here. I can't help you."
Li Shimin apologized, and Duan Zhixuan and Tang Jian also apologized: "You two, I'm sorry."
Seeing their attitude, Qin Qiong and Luo Shi felt much more confident. Although they still had resentments in their hearts, they were no longer ready to go to war.
Li Shimin called his men and handed the weapons to the two of them: "This is your weapon. Also, I have prepared horses for you two. We will set off in a quarter of an hour."
"good."
Wang Yu dragged Li Shimin to an open space and asked in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid that the two of them will escape?"
Li Shimin seemed very calm: "Don't trust people when you employ them, and don't use people when you doubt them."
Even though she said that, she was too confident. I don't know where his strong confidence came from. It seemed like she was a villain.
Wang Yu was depressed.
Zhang Liang, who was not far away, read the whole process, his eyes full of contempt: "Li Erlang used this method to rob people, what is the difference between Li Erlang and bandits?
"Hmph, as a bandit, he is not as good as one of us from Wagang Village."
Xu Shiji sighed: "These days there are constant wars, and many families are separated and displaced. It is not easy for them to recognize each other as brothers."
"A brother can do something dirty? You have to ask your brother what he thinks. Anyway, I can't stand this kind of banditry." Zhang Liang's face was filled with disdain.
Cheng Zhijie suddenly said: "Weren't you a robber before?"
"..."
Zhang Liang was speechless. After a while, he reluctantly approached the two of them and whispered: "Let's run while they are not paying attention. Anyway, we have horses now."
Cheng Zhijie said without thinking: "No, we agreed to make a decision after two months, so we have to keep our promise."
Zhang Liang snorted coldly: "Why should we stick to the enemy..."
Seeing Xu Shiji staring at him, the last two words "promise" floated in the air...
After a while, Cheng Zhijie explained: "Li Mi is ambitious for the world, but Zhai Rang has no ambitions. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. One day, they will turn against each other. If we leave Wagang Village at this time, we will not be involved. , which is not a blessing for us.
"What's more..."
Cheng Zhijie said no more.
Zhang Liang asked: "Not to mention what?"
Cheng Zhijie said meaningfully, "You will know later."
However, Xu Shiji heard Cheng Zhijie's unspoken intention and glanced at the cavalry.
