The reborn sycophant

The gloomy night gradually devoured the last ray of sunshine, pressing down between the sky and the earth.There is a roof separated from the night, in a dilapidated house in a small village, there are many people lying down.

There were children, young men and women, no old people.These people were all bound hands and feet with ropes, lying on the ground in awkward positions, or falling asleep leaning against the wall.The smell in the room was terrible, the smell of sweat and various pheromones mixed together, these people who were arrested for several days could not smell it, but for those who just came in, it was undoubtedly a kind of torture.

Being brought in under the arm of the big man, Zhao Ji almost couldn't help moving because of the strange smell. She tried her best to hold her breath, and when the big man threw her on the ground, she pretended to be asleep, and then someone pulled her up hands, put ropes on her hands, and after that, her feet were also tied.

The door was closed again, the footsteps faded away, Zhao Ji opened his eyes, and saw Wei Chuyan lying beside her, also tied up, looking at her.

Zhao Ji had tears in his eyes: "I can hardly breathe."

Wei Chuyan moved over a little, tapped her forehead with his forehead, and comforted: "Hold on, it will be fine in a while."

There was no sound, it was a breath sound, so soft, Zhao Ji had a hard time listening.

But she heard it clearly, buried her head in Wei Chuyan's arms, sniffed the faint fragrance of plum, and nodded.

Lying awkwardly for a while, thinking of one thing, Zhao Ji's face turned pale, and he gave Ding Wei's first banquet.

Wei Chuyan opened his eyes from the darkness and looked down at her.

"That woman...she knows us."

Zhao Ji didn't kill the woman. If tomorrow, her accomplice ran to find the two of them and brought the woman back, the matter would be revealed.

"It's okay. Even if these people look for them, they won't go very far. They are not hardcore brothers, they are complaining, and they shouldn't try their best to find someone. Besides..."

"And what?"

"A woman with a broken foot, alone in the wilderness, with a dead man beside her. The smell of blood is so strong. She won't live long."

Either she was found by refugees, or by wild animals, all of which were hungry animals. Either way, she couldn't live.

Zhao Ji was silent for a moment, and said to Wei Chuyan: "I really didn't want her to die at that time."

"I knew...but I knew she was going to die and I didn't warn you."

"you......"

"So she was killed by me, not your fault."

Zhao Ji watched Wei Chuyan for a while, then lay back in her arms, and after a long time, when Wei Chuyan was about to fall asleep, she heard Zhao Ji say, "Why are you so nice to me?"

The first banquet did not say anything.

So the night passed.

Those people did not stay here again on the second day, but woke up the "goods" in this room early in the morning. The slightly larger ones were strung together with an extremely thick rope except for the rope on the feet. Let them walk with the mules and horses of the merchant.The smaller ones, such as Zhao Ji and Wei Chuyan, have two ox carts to transport them. The ox carts have no curtains, and several people are crowded on top of them. Child, some people wept softly, and if the sound was heard by the trafficker, it would inevitably lead to a whip or two. If there were many lessons like this, the surroundings gradually became quiet.

From the looks of it, they really didn't go looking for that couple.

If it is a human trafficker, he can even abandon his companions at will.

Following the trafficker, although they are still not able to eat and drink enough, it is enough to maintain their basic needs.Drugs cost money, and the usual trick of these traffickers is to use drugs to stun people at first, and then give them normal food after they are tied up.

When people are differentiated, their strength varies. For Qianyang Lord or Kunyin Lord who is above the middle rank, the businessman will not be stingy with iron chains. There are several children in the car with chains on their hands. It seems that the businessman is also afraid that they will The rope broke.

As for Wei Chuyan and Zhao Ji, they both looked very weak when they were "stunned", and their pheromones were not obvious. Although they were both differentiated, they were directly regarded as low-grade. After going back to drink, he didn't open his clothes to check.

Now the rope is still in his hand, if it is an iron rope like those people, it will be difficult for Wei Chuyan to break it at this time.

On July [-]th, they finally left Jingzhou and arrived at the border of Yizhou.

The fringes of Yizhou were still affected by the disaster, but the further we went west, the weaker the drought became. After another two days, everything was green.

"Aren't they going to Chang'an? Why are they heading west?"

In the past few days, because he was casually thrown into the bullock cart, sometimes Zhao Jin was able to stand next to Wei Chuyan, sometimes he couldn't, and when he couldn't, Zhao Ji couldn't help but frequently cast his eyes on Wei Chuyan.

And every time she looked over, she would see Wei Chuyan looking at her.

Then there is the unspeakable sense of security.

On this day, the two of them finally sat together again. On the way, perhaps seeing the hope of returning to Chang'an, Zhao Ji talked a lot.Whatever he sees or thinks of, he likes to talk to Wei Chuyan.

The two of them spoke quietly, but they didn't attract the attention of the traffickers. Most of these people's eyes were on the slaves who were going to Chang'an with their own legs. Some of these people would die of exhaustion.

At this point, the traffickers had to untie them from the ropes so that their bodies would not slow down the procession.

"Maybe it's because if we continue to go north from there, it's still dry land. Although the traffickers replenished the water in that village, we have too many people and they can't afford it. So we went to Yizhou. You see, Yizhou was not affected by the disaster. Seriously, it’s much easier for them to go north from Yizhou.”

The guess at the first banquet was correct. On the third day in Yizhou, after resting in a small town, the businessmen began to lead them northward.

Zhao Ji had a new problem.

"Yizhou is not considered barren. Along the way, there are some big cities, and there are probably many people who can afford slaves. Why do these people still transport us to Chang'an?"

This question stumped Wei Chuyan.

When her family bought and sold slaves, she didn't need to worry about it, and she didn't know why.

"Maybe it's because the people from Chang'an offered a high price, or a big shot has already made a reservation with them, and they couldn't refuse."

"Tell me, will Gao Muen and the others find them?"

With water and grass, the birdsong that had disappeared for a long time in their world reappeared again. Unlike the central part of Jingzhou, where it was so desolate, even the birds and beasts disappeared, but there was a fresh life here again. breath.

Looking at such a scene, even though he was still in danger, and even mingled among the slaves as an emperor, Zhao Ji still felt much lighter than before.

As soon as she relaxes her mind, she will think of the people and things she cares about. For her guards, she and Wei Chuyan both know that not many people will survive, and even she dare not say that Gao Muen will survive, but she When asking Wei Chuyan at this moment, he acquiesced that Gao Muen would survive.

As if in this way, he could really survive.

Wei Chuyan thought about it seriously, and said to her: "Gao Muen and the others probably won't chase after her."

Zhao Ji was puzzled, and then heard Wei Chuyan say: "The night before leaving Lancheng, we re-selected the route on the map. At this time, the one I will take you with is the most tortuous one. Gao Muen and the others are the same as me. Knowing that there is such a road, it has been so long now, and they have not caught up, then it is possible that they went directly north to another road, Ji, guess why they did this."

Being in this team, he couldn't call "Master" one by one. Wei Chuyan still called Zhao Ji by his name. Recently, Zhao Ji also liked her calling himself like this.

Ji, Ah Ji, is obviously an extremely cold word, but when it comes out of Wei Chuyan's mouth, there is always an indescribable lingering feeling.

Well, at this moment, Zhao Ji doesn't know what lingering means.

She just felt that Wei Chuyan's shouting was very emotional, and she liked it very much.

Chuyan asked her a question again. Along the way, Chuyan would occasionally ask her this question. She knew that Wei Chuyan was testing her.But today's question is a bit difficult.

After thinking hard for a moment, Zhao Ji asked uncertainly, "Could it be to distract the pursuers?"

"I guess so."

"Are they so sure we're going west?"

"No, if I were Gao Muen, I would also look northward. If I could find us, I would immediately protect us and divert us. If I couldn't find us, then it would be fine. I could 'accidentally' expose some traces and hang on Follow the soldiers. That way, we should be safe even if we are not with us."

"But it must not occur to them that we experience many other dangers, too."

Zhao Ji's face was a little gloomy.

Seeing her like this, Wei Chuyan's heart tightened again.

Some things, after all, are different.

Zhao Ji noticed her gaze, and forced a smile on his small face: "I'm not blaming them, if they hadn't defended me desperately, I might have died under the assassin's knife... They are all loyal servants. "

"I'm just... I'm thinking... If I didn't have that kind of thought, if I didn't procrastinate on the road, wouldn't those assassins be able to catch up with us? Xiaochan, Xiaoxia... ...they won't die."

Wei Chuyan didn't expect Zhao Ji to think this way, she felt a little comforted, it turned out that Zhao Ji was not blaming others, but herself.

Then, it hurts even more.

Zhao Ji didn't hear Wei Chuyan's words, so Zhao Ji continued on his own: "Look, I said that I don't want to kill brothers, but because of my idea, many people died for me, and there are many people in it. , I have served by my side since I was a child, not to mention treating them as brothers and sisters, but in my heart, I am very close to them, I had hoped to bring them to my feudal country, and treat them well."

"No, don't think so."

Seeing that she was getting more and more aggressive, Wei Chuyan interrupted her: "Don't use your old self to torture your present self. There was nothing wrong with you at that time. You didn't want to fight in the same room. This is really not a fault. If it’s wrong...it’s better to say that it’s a mistake to assassinate your brother and sister.”

"Also, I like the old Zhao Ji very much."

She is such a good child.
