Xiqian woke up slowly in the darkness. The pain and numbness in the back of her neck made her quickly regain consciousness. After looking around, she found that she was in a dilapidated thatched house. When she raised her head, she could see little stars through the gaps in the roof.
After loosening her stiff muscles, she found that she was not tied up. Although her clothes were a little messy, there were no signs of damage. She recalled what happened before she fainted, and finally confirmed that she had been kidnapped.
But she had only been in Yangcheng for a few days and had not made any public appearances. There was no reason why she would be the target chosen by the kidnappers. Could it be someone who knew her true identity? Xiqian was shocked. If this was true, the kidnapper's plan must not only be about money.
Already.
Xiqian stood up and pushed the broken door panel. The door was locked from the outside. She listened carefully to the noise outside. Only a few wolf howls occasionally came from the distance. The sound of pushing the door did not attract the kidnapper's anger.
, I guess they are also resting.
Xi Qian walked softly around the house a few times, and stood in front of a small window. She pushed the window frame lightly with her hand, and the rotten wood residue fell. Xi Qian was overjoyed and picked up a small piece of wood.
The stone hollows out the connection at the hinge bit by bit.
Not long after, the window frame was on the verge of falling, and with a few shakes, it completely fell off the thatched house. Xiqian held up her skirt, stepped onto the window sill with one foot, held the window edge with one hand, and jumped out of the low thatched house.
After confirming that she was free, she shook the sand off her body. She didn't expect to escape so easily, and most of her initial vigilance was gone. She looked around casually, not knowing which way to escape.
When the peripheral vision swept through the darkness, it felt like there was a huge dark night. Xi Qian calmed down and looked around, and suddenly saw a strong man with a beard that was two heads taller than him, looking at him in the same way, Xi Qian said "Ah"
He fell to the ground with a sound.
The strong man stepped forward with a big stride, picked up her back collar and threw her back into the thatched hut without mercy, yelling something she didn't understand.
Xi Qian was hit hard and she raised her eyes and glared at the strong man. The strong man pulled out the whip from his waist and was about to swing it at her body. At this moment, a hand slapped the strong man's wrist. The strong man shouted
Wailing but stepping aside without any resistance.
Xi Qian looked at the owner of the hand. The man was also very strong, but more delicate and majestic than the strong man. His face had rough eyebrows and a high nose. She had seen it in books before. This was the standard.
The appearance of the Huns.
The man looked at Xi Zhi and said impatiently in fluent Chinese, "If you want to survive, be honest. These subordinates of mine don't have the patience to accommodate you. Don't expect me to save you next time."
Xi Qian looked back at him stubbornly, her clothes were torn in many places, her hair was messy and there were a few weeds stuck in her hair, her face was black and yellow, she looked as embarrassed as she wanted, but only a pair of black eyes were shining on the moon.
Under the reflection of the color, the brilliance of stars flashes like cold autumn water, without any signs of panic.
"Who are you? What is the purpose of bringing me here?"
Seeing that she was as calm as usual, the man looked at her appreciatively and said in a slightly gentle tone, "You don't need to know this, but I can tell you that my name is Habudan."
Habudan?
After a brief silence, Habudan said, "Habudan means vast and boundless in Hun language. I heard that your name is Xiqian? It's a very nice name."
"How do you know?" Xi Qian looked at him defensively.
"I know a lot of things. Don't worry. As long as you obey, I promise I won't hurt you. You don't have to blame me. If you want to blame, just blame your man. He forced me."
"Haoxuan?" Xi Qian's face condensed and she tentatively said Yuwen Haoxuan's name.
"Can you call him by his first name?" Habudan was a little surprised, but then laughed, "It seems that he has not changed at all after so many years, and women have always been his weakness."
Xiqian frowned slightly. Although she wanted to ask Habutan what he meant by these words, she also clearly understood that Habutan wanted to lead her by the nose and get more things out of her.
.
In the end, Xiqian pretended to be silent as if nothing had happened, but her slight frown did not escape Habudan's sharp eyes like an eagle. She turned around and confessed a few words to a few strong men before walking out of the thatched hut. After several conversations, he
I know that Xi Zhen is not a person who will be easily taken advantage of.
The strong man warned Xiqiu with his eyes and then followed Habudan out of the thatched house. Xiqiu curled up her legs and buried her face in her knees. She knew that escape was impossible. From the actions of several big men and the strict discipline
It can be inferred that it is the result of years of training in the military.
Yuwen Haoxuan never mentioned government affairs to her. The only thing she knew was from the conversation between Yuwen Haoxuan and Liu Maolin, so she had no idea what Yuwen Haoxuan had done.
Habudan wants to kidnap her.
Will he come to save her? Xi Qian asked herself repeatedly in her mind. Although she knew that considering the overall situation, Yuwen Haoxuan should not give up his original plan for her, but she still couldn't help but have a little hope in her heart.
Everyone in the world says that emperors are the most affectionate and ruthless. Xi Qian knows this truth very well, but will Yu Wen Haoxuan be an exception?
On the desolate Fengyang slope, strong winds roared past with sand and dust. Yu Wen Haoxuan lay in the darkness, choked by the sudden wind and sand, and couldn't help but snort.
Hearing the movement in the dark, the corner of Habudan's mouth curled up, "Since you're here, why don't you show up and say something?"
Seeing that there was no need to hide anymore, Yu Wen Haoxuan stood up generously, patted the dust on his body and walked to Habudan. Although the two had never met before, the aura on each other's bodies had made their identities clear to each other.
"If the prince wants to see me, he can definitely find some more direct methods, but it is not the behavior of a gentleman to kidnap a woman and threaten me." Yu Wen Haoxuan shook off his folding fan and started to swing it leisurely, as if he was chatting with someone about everyday things.
"You know, I am not a gentleman at all. As long as I can achieve my goal, I never worry about the means. Unlike you Han people, who are obviously doing sneaky things and still use the words of a saint to cover up for themselves.
"Habdan's expression remained as usual, but there was a hint of chill in his words.
"We Han people? If I remember correctly, the prince's mother is also a Han person, right? Back then, Princess Wanyue of the Jiang Kingdom and you, the Huns, were so popular that we were still cousins!" Yu Wen Haoxuan said sarcastically.
Habudan narrowed his eyes. This was an indelible shadow in his heart and what he considered the most shameful thing. "She is a Huns since she married a Huns and has no connection with the Han people."
"This is wrong. How can it be possible that after living in the Han Dynasty for more than ten years, there is no trace left at all? There is still a portrait of Princess Wanyue in the palace of Jiang State!" Yuwen Haoxuan continued to provoke Habudan.
mood.
Habudan was about to refute, but then he seemed to think of something and said with a smile, "No one is here anymore, so what's the use of talking about it?"
