Ao Xi also thought of this, "We must stop the King of Qi."
The word "stop" is said easily. As a prince, the King of Qi can be said to be omnipotent here. The only one who can control the prince is probably the emperor.
One of them was a bandit and the other a commoner. They couldn't even see the important ministers, let alone the emperor. It was not easy for them to stop the King of Qi.
Just when Su Man was worried, Ao Xi said unexpectedly, "I'm going to the capital."
"you?"
Su Man raised her eyebrows. At first she thought Ao Xi was talking in his sleep, but when she saw Ao Xi's serious expression, she suddenly remembered that she didn't know Ao Xi's life experience yet.
She had previously suspected that Ao Xi's identity was not simple, and now it seemed to be true. She tentatively asked, "Do you have any plans?"
Ao Xi didn't answer. He raised his hand and poked Su Man's forehead. "You're even trying to trick your husband into saying something. Are you asking for a fight?"
Although he spoke harshly, his hands showed no strength at all. Instead, he rubbed her head and said, "I'm going to the capital. The round trip will take at least 20 days. I'll take you back."
Su Man knew she couldn't help, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back to Black Wind Village and wait for you."
"I'm not talking about Black Wind Village." Ao Xi tucked the strands of hair behind her ears. "I'm talking about sending you home."
"go home?"
Su Man was slightly surprised. Ao Xi actually wanted to send her home?
"Chief, are you okay?"
Ao Xi smiled helplessly, "This matter has exceeded my expectations, and I'm afraid it won't end well. While Fang Qingshan hasn't attacked Black Wind Village yet, I'll send you back and have my parents-in-law send you to a relative's house to avoid the limelight. If this matter is resolved and I'm still alive, I'll come and snatch you away."
He said this very naturally, as if it were as easy as robbing a landlord.
Su Man didn't expect Ao Xi to be willing to spit out the meat in his mouth. She half-jokingly said, "Is the village chief not afraid that I will get married?"
"You dare!" Ao Xi gritted his teeth.
Su Man looked at Ao Xi steadily and said, "If you send me back, I will dare."
Ao Xi understood Su Man's meaning and raised his eyebrows, "Madam, are you reluctant to part with your husband?"
"I've said before, since I've entered Black Wind Village, I'm a member of it. Besides, my escape has caused such a big stir this time, and given my father's personality, he might not care about me."
Ao Xi thought about what he had seen and heard when he worked for Mr. Xia, and felt that what Su Man said made some sense.
He just wanted Su Man to follow him to die. He couldn't bear it and coaxed her, "Otherwise, you can stay here and wait for me to come back to pick you up."
"Village leader."
Su Man said indifferently, "I'm not a child anymore, don't fool me."
Ao Xi touched his nose awkwardly, "I didn't say I wouldn't come back."
"How about this? I'll propose a compromise. You go to the capital, and I'll go back to Black Wind Stronghold and ask Military Advisor Yuan to prepare the defenses."
Seeing Su Man's insistence, Ao Xi could no longer persuade her and compromised, "Then I'll take you back."
"No need. This place is closer to the capital, and going back would be a long way to go. Besides, our priority right now is to inform on the King of Qi."
Su Man's face was solemn. If the King of Qi was not eliminated, neither Aoxi nor the Black Wind Village would escape the fate of being wiped out.
"good."
Since Su Man was determined to go forward and retreat with him, Ao Xi did not refuse. He pinched Su Man's shoulder and said, "I will definitely come back."
Su Man smiled, "Yeah."
The candlelight was bright, but not as charming as Su Man's eyes. Ao Xi's heart softened. After going through so much, he no longer doubted Su Man's sincerity.
He suddenly felt that the marriage he had arranged to snatch Su Man back was too hasty, and silently swore in his heart that if he could come back alive this time, he would definitely marry her again.
Ao Xi's hand, which was on Su Man's shoulder, slowly moved to her cheek, but before he could take the next step, Asong's childish voice interrupted him.
"Are you bandits?"
The two did not avoid Asong when they were talking, so it was not surprising that Asong asked this question.
Facing this little devil who ruined his plans, Ao Xi deliberately scared him, "Yes, I am a bandit."
But Asong was not afraid at all. Instead, he asked eagerly, "Do you have a lot of men?"
"What do you want to say?" Ao Xi raised his eyebrows.
"Can you bring me out? Can you bring everyone out of the kiln?"
"cannot."
Ao Xi answered simply, "I'm a bandit, not a hero."
Asong's hopes were dashed, and he became dejected and silent.
Su Man sat next to him and said, "A Song, I'm just kidding you. We want to save them, but we don't have enough strength, so I'm going to get reinforcements. When the reinforcements come, we'll go and save them."
"Really?" There was light in Asong's eyes again.
"real."
After getting a positive answer, Asong smiled sincerely.
Su Man thought that his knot in his heart was resolved, but unexpectedly, Asong made another request that surprised her.
"Can you take me back then?"
"You want to go back?"
Ao Xi also found it unbelievable when he heard it. They had already seen the life in the cave during the day. They were not well fed and clothed, and had to work day and night like animals. He actually wanted to go back?
"Yes, please send me back." Asong was very persistent.
Su Man asked gently, "Why do you want to go back?"
"If I don't go back, Ah Fu and Da Zhou will have to do all the work, and they will be exhausted to death."
Asong said firmly, "Besides, I can pass on a message to you from inside."
"this..."
Su Man was undecided. It would be good to have an insider, but Asong was so young and sick, and she was afraid that Asong would never come out again after returning.
Confusing, she looked at Ao Xi, "What do you think, Village Chief?"
Ao Xi was staring at Asong, and now his eyes were more appreciative than before. He saw a tenacity in this young man.
Having had similar experiences, he understood what Asong was thinking. His parents died one after another, and he wanted to kill his enemies more than live a comfortable life.
Ao Xi restrained his smile and asked half seriously, "You don't regret it?"
Asong shook his head vigorously, "No regrets."
Ao Xi nodded, "Good boy."
He pulled out a short dagger from the side of his boot. "Take this as proof. If you can make it out alive, I will adopt you as my son, and you will follow me from now on."
Such a promise was extremely precious to Asong, who had lost both his parents. He carefully took Ao Xi's dagger. Even though he looked weak, his eyes were bright. "I will definitely come out alive."
-
Before parting, Suman asked for food so that Asong could have a full meal, and also gave him medicine to drink.
Perhaps because he had endured so much hardship, Asong had a strong recovery ability. Not only did his fever go away, but he could also walk without any problems.
Ao Xi also taught him a few self-defense moves, which were not the serious sword and knife techniques, but rather the most insidious ones.
Before dawn, Ao Xi sent Asong back and also agreed on a secret code, telling him how to pass the message to the brothers of Heifengzhai who stayed behind in Huangkou County.
After everything was arranged, it was time for Ao Xi and Su Man to say goodbye.
