Tang Li glanced at him with a little pride.
"I told you it was Cao Hua, right? My eyes can't be wrong."
Wei Qing: "It's only been a pot of tea, isn't General Cao too fast?"
Tangli: “…”
Tangli felt a car running over her face.
So this is what surprised her man?
However, it is true that you cannot judge a person by his appearance. Cao Hua, who looks so serious, actually visits brothels.
Tsk, man.
night.
Wei Qing was sleeping with his wife in his arms when he suddenly heard some noise downstairs.
The window opened, and someone jumped out, then ran away...
Below his room is the room of Shopkeeper Hua.
His wife told him today that Shopkeeper Hua was acting strangely and that there might be someone hiding in the room. She suspected it was the young man they picked up that day, but she just didn't understand why Shopkeeper Hua was hiding it from them.
Is that young man really hiding in Shopkeeper Hua’s room?
Could the person who ran away be that young man?
Could it be this young man that the officers and soldiers were searching for that day?
Could this young man be related to the traitor?
It’s no wonder Wei Qing thinks too much. It’s a special period like this, so we have to be cautious.
Wei Qing quickly stood up, put on his outer robe, picked up the crossbow he brought with him, and jumped out of the window.
Wei Qing remembered the direction the man left. After jumping out, there was an alley. Wei Qing followed that road and soon caught up with the man.
Wei Qing followed the man carefully.
The man was quite skilled, but he seemed injured and his movements were not fast.
Wei Qing tracked with ease and was completely able to avoid being discovered by the other party.
He followed the man to the wilderness and watched him enter a thatched hut. The hut was pitch black, and soon he heard voices coming from inside.
It is the Hun language.
Wei Qing was adopted by Wei Lao San when he was eight years old. He learned hunting and worked as a hunter in Lijia Village. He had never left Yaoshui Town for ten years, and had never seen the Huns.
However, when he heard the voice, he knew it was Hun language.
I think I had contact with him during the eight years when I lost my memory.
Although the memory is gone, some cognition remains.
Although Wei Qing knew that they were speaking Xiongnu language, he did not understand what they were saying.
He hid outside the hut and listened for a while, but he didn't understand a word the two men said until they finished speaking.
The door opened and the figure from before came out again. Wei Qing followed quietly.
Wei Qing followed for a while and found that the figure was returning the same way and heading back to the inn.
When they reached a dark alley, Wei Qing suddenly attacked the black shadow.
The black shadow fought back without mercy, like a ferocious wolf cub. The two wrestled with each other, each attack more ferocious than the other!
The black shadow was quite skilled, but he was injured and was subdued by Wei Qing in a short while.
Wei Qing pressed him against the wall, his hands around his neck. In the moonlight, Wei Qing could see his face clearly. It was the boy they had rescued!
Were the people they rescued really Huns?
Is this person related to the traitor?
If he really rescued the person with good intentions, but ended up opening the city gate and harming the people of the entire city, his wife would definitely feel very guilty!
Wei Qing's eyes suddenly turned cold as he looked at the young man he was holding, his face full of hostility and his eyes full of murderous intent.
"Don't... kill... me..." The young man's face turned blue as he said with difficulty.
"You are a Hun."
"I... mean no harm." said the boy.
Wei Qing glanced at him with a sinister gaze, examining him, and then let him go.
"Tell me, who are you and what are you going to do."
The boy's whole body went limp and he slid to the ground, breathing heavily and feeling a little cold on his back.
The next moment, a knife was pressed against his neck.
He raised his head and looked at Wei Qing.
He knows him.
When he was awake, he had never met Wei Qing face to face, but Sister Hua told him that it was the man in front of him and Sister Tang who saved him.
He had secretly observed Wei Qing from his room and thought he was just a rough, rugged man with a simple mind and strong limbs. He had never imagined that he had such a side, with eyes like a beast and murderous intent all over his body. He was the kind of person who was very dangerous.
"My name is Po Nu, the eighth prince of the Xiongnu. I have no ill intentions, I just want to leave the Great Zhou." said the young man.
Prince of the Huns?!
They actually saved a prince by chance?
Wei Qing was surprised.
Wei Qing frowned and said angrily, "Tell me more carefully. Why are you here? What do you want to do?"
"I was a hostage in the Great Zhou. This time the Xiongnu and the Great Zhou were about to go to war, so the Great Zhou sent me to Qinzhou City as a hostage to threaten the Xiongnu. However, this would mean my death, because the one leading the troops this time was my second brother, who didn't like me and wouldn't care about my life or death. So I ran away." Po Nu said.
He was actually an insignificant victim of this war.
The Great Zhou did not take him seriously and sent him here hoping that he could play a minor role, but his second brother, the prince, hated him and wished him dead.
But he didn't want to be sacrificed, he wanted to live.
"I escaped from the clutches of the Great Zhou soldiers, but was pursued by my Second Brother's men. I was stabbed on the way and nearly died, but you saved me. I knew the Great Zhou soldiers would search the inn, so I secretly left. I waited until they finished their search, and then I secretly returned."
"The fewer people who know my identity, the better. So I begged Sister Hua not to tell anyone else."
Wei Qing didn't believe it: "You are using Shopkeeper Hua because you think Shopkeeper Hua is easy to fool. Sooner or later, we will know your identity and it will be disadvantageous to you."
Po Nu touched his tall nose bridge, which was pierced.
"I just wanted to live. You saved me. I will never forget it. I was lying there, and many people passed by. I kept calling for help, but no one paid any attention. Only you saved me."
Wei Qing was very clear-headed and would not be fooled by his two words of gratitude.
Who doesn't say nice things? But people's hearts are hidden, so who knows what they are thinking?
Po Nu knew that he didn't believe him, so he continued, "I just want to leave Da Zhou. I just discussed it with my people. I will sneak out of the city tomorrow. I won't cause any trouble for you."
"Besides, it will be good for you if I go back." Po Nu said again.
Wei Qing glanced at him: "What's the benefit?"
"My second brother is a very ambitious man, and no one can compete with him. If I were not here, the throne would naturally fall on him. After he becomes the queen of the Xiongnu, he will continue to attack the Great Zhou. The two countries are in conflict, and the people are living in dire straits. If I can return to my country, my father Khan likes me, and I can compete for the throne. The civil strife in the Xiongnu court is a good thing for the Great Zhou. Moreover, if I become king, I will advocate that the two countries maintain friendly relations and recuperate." Po Nu said in a very logical manner.
His return to the Xiongnu was a good thing for the Great Zhou.
"That's a good thing for the Great Zhou, what does it have to do with me?" Wei Qing said indifferently.
Po Nu: “…”
"I'm just an ordinary farmer. National affairs have nothing to do with me. Let's get down to business." Wei Qing said in a gangster tone.
Po Nu looked at the knife against his neck and said, "I have something else on me. I wonder if you are interested..."
