Chapter 398 Hesitant
“If I don’t kill him, we will be the ones who die!”
Liang Huan’s eyes were red, she was almost in tears, and she sniffed. He turned his head and looked away from him as if angry.
"I was originally going to be captured by you. Whether I am alive or dead, or whether life is worse than death, who knows? Why are you so anxious to bully me, humiliate me and kill me one after another?"
Teardrops still slid down the corners of his eyes.
One after another.
“I really don’t know how to offend your master. I, a good queen, was captured by you for no reason and became a prisoner. Wrong."
She took a breath and nodded: "Okay, if that's the case, why should I go back with you? You can kill me now to avenge your good brothers, who is it anyway? I know what other methods your master will use to torture and humiliate me. Come to think of it, rather than die in his hands, I would rather die in your hands..."
As he said this, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. , holding back the sobs, shoulders shaking slightly.
"Wei Yue, please don't let me live, otherwise if you fall into my hands one day, I will treat you just like you did to me, beating you, scolding you and bullying you, and not allowing you to resist... …”
Wei Yue remained silent and retracted the hand that was holding her neck.
The back hall was quiet for a long time.
Liang Han opened her eyes again, Wei Yue was squatting in front of Doumu's body with her back to her, her voice was hoarse.
"Let's wait until you have the ability to escape this disaster."
Liang Huan raised her eyebrows and looked at his back with a satisfied smile.
Weiyue did not bury the two corpses, but used a special potion to turn them into corpses.
When we set off again, it was almost noon.
After coming out of the ruined temple, Wei Yue never spoke a word to her again.
Liang Huan lowered his eyes and looked at the steps under his feet. The only person they sent this time was Wei Yue.
In the next few days, the two of them kept their original appearance, walking one behind the other. Occasionally, he would look back, but he would not say anything.
Even if we sleep in the wild at night, there is always a fire in the middle.
He gave her water, and she drank; he gave her food, and she took it.
On the way, I pretended to be looking for relatives and followed a caravan; I also pretended to be avoiding war. Apart from encountering two wolves and one fox in the wilderness, there was not much danger.
Wei Yue also tried to contact someone through the stall to inquire about information, but was eventually dissuaded by a strict search.
For him, they were almost arriving in Lianzhou and the mission was almost over. If his whereabouts were exposed at this time and he was arrested by the officers and soldiers, it would really be a waste that outweighs the gains.
Before the sun set, they walked to a small village. At this speed, if nothing unexpected happened, they should be able to reach Lianzhou tomorrow.
This also means that she is about to meet the mastermind behind the scenes.
Liang Huan frowned and thought, but she didn’t know what the situation in Lianzhou was like now.
We have to find an opportunity to inform Song Tan.
Liang Huan was thinking about it in her heart and didn't want to look up and see Wei Yue waiting at the entrance to the village.
Do you want to enter the village without avoiding the detour?
Liang Huan felt somewhat strange. Usually, they would avoid people whenever they could.
When she came closer, Wei Yue turned around and continued walking inside without giving any explanation.
I wonder if it is because the sun is setting in the west, but there are few people in the village and it is very quiet.
If it weren’t for the smoke rising above the house, I might have mistaken it for an abandoned village.
An old woman returning home late passed by carrying a backpack.
When Wei Yue saw him, he quickly stopped him. The two of them didn't know what they said. While they were talking, the old woman looked over and nodded. Liang Huan had four or five blisters on one foot. The pain was severe and she couldn't walk fast.
After the two of them talked, they saw Wei Yue walking towards her. Just as she was about to speak, she felt light and was picked up by him.
“You——”
Wei Yue interrupted and said coldly: "I will arrive in Lianzhou tomorrow. I will stay here for the night. Don't think about running away, let alone informing others, otherwise..."
He didn't look at her, paused, and then said: "I told the old woman that we were a couple returning home to visit relatives. Unfortunately, we encountered robbers on the road and narrowly escaped pursuit. Please remember it and don't mess around. Talk."
Liang Huan stared at his profile and smiled sarcastically: "Robber? Huh, the robbers have to go around when they see you."
Wei Yue lowered her eyes. He chuckled and did not answer her words. He just said: "Remember what I said, otherwise, although I won't kill you, I can kill them."
Liang Huan's eyes narrowed: "Weiyue, you You are so loyal to your master.”
Weiyue glanced at her and stopped talking.
Liang Huan gritted her teeth secretly. She made insinuations along the way, but she could never get any useful information out of him.
Very frustrated.
The old woman's home is very simple, with only two rooms and a small yard.
While eating, Liang Huan learned that because of the war between the two countries, all the men in Zhuangzi went to the battlefield, leaving behind only the old, weak, sick, disabled, and their female relatives, and bandits often appeared nearby, so As soon as the sun sets, the doors and windows of every house are closed.
Liang Huan chewed the taro in his hand, thinking about the empty appearance of the village he had just seen, and recalled what Lu Xiu said to the soldiers and generals in Tongli Town that year. Their families were looking forward to their return home for reunion. ...
But the days of peace only lasted a year, and they fell into chaos again.
The old woman added that her husband had passed away a long time ago and she had worked hard to raise two sons. One died in the war last year, and the other also went to the battlefield two months ago and was reported to be safe last month. After that, there was no news again. I don’t know whether he is dead or alive.
She was slightly hunched over, wiping her tears as she spoke. Her cloudy eyes showed the vicissitudes of life, and her wrinkled face was full of traces of time. She was really living one day at a time.
The already bland taro in Liang Huan’s mouth became even more tasteless when chewed.
For ordinary people, it really doesn't matter who their surname is in the world. What matters is who can bring their families together and live a peaceful life.
The Wen family of Zhou Guoyu, the Gao family of Qi State, and the Chen family of Chen State, which is in a corner... This war may stop tomorrow, or it may last for several years.
Liang Huan felt heavy in her heart after listening to the old woman's words.
She laughed secretly. No matter for whatever reason, she was actually the queen of Qi.
But is she like a queen?
After a simple meal, Liang Huan helped the old woman clean up the dishes.
After the sun went down, the room was dark, and the old woman was reluctant to use the oil lamp, so she went to bed early.
As soon as the old woman left, she and Wei Yue were left alone in the dark room.
Liang Huan found that Wei Yue rarely spoke in front of others, and mostly remained silent, not knowing what she was thinking.
She turned her face slightly, and unexpectedly met Wei Yue's gaze.
She smiled faintly and asked in a voice he could only hear: "Wei Yue, aren't you from Qi Ren?"
Looking at each other in silence for a long time, Wei Yue's eyes flashed and she did not answer.
Liang Huan looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "I guess you are either from Zhou or Chen."
Wei Yue smiled faintly in the dimness.
