Chapter 177: Little Lonely Village
In this way, Hu Hai and his group bypassed Shangdang County and headed straight for the mountains on the border between Zhao and Hu people.
The northward, the dryer and colder the climate.
Although Hu Hai was an emperor, as a man, he could no longer do this car. Instead, he let Qi Ji, Diecui, Lou Jing and Xia You sit in the car. He himself rode a horse with Meng Hang and Upp.
Several women first refused, and after Hu Hai showed his attitude, they all agreed.
Qi Ji didn't know Hu Hai's identity, so she felt that this was normal. But the other three girls knew how ridiculous the second emperor was. Unexpectedly, after killing Zhao Gao, he became so masculine.
Especially Xia You and Diecui followed Hu Hai all day long, and couldn't help but think about it.
As the Shangdang area approaches, the villages are depressed and the people's livelihood is withering.
Li Liang's rebellion has now caused Zhao State to fall into turmoil. In addition to the veteran Wang Ben, Zhang Han also wanted to lead a large army to crush Zhao State, trying to destroy Zhao State in one go.
Now all forces are greedy for the treasures of Wuling, but Zhao State has no movement. They are now unable to take care of themselves and have no time to deal with the treasures of Wuling. The king and minister of Zhao State have searched the classics but found no trace. According to the memories of the old friends of Zhao State, the treasures of Wuling may be a legend.
Hu Hai and the others walked winding into the mountains. Legend has it that Luer Ridge, where the Wuling treasure appeared, was right in front.
On the way dozens of miles behind Hu Hai and others, Liu Bang led hundreds of troops and was in a panic.
Fan Kuai also started to curse at this time.
After they learned that Hu Hai had left Qijiazhuang, they wanted to decide the marriage between Liu Bang and Qi Ji with the old man of Qi. However, they did not expect that Qi Ji left a note that it was better to ask for others than to ask for others, and they started playing and disappeared.
There is no airtight wall in the world.
The saying that it is better to seek others than to seek others and that it is an idea that Qin Hu gave to Qi Ji.
Liu Bang was so angry after hearing this.
He originally wanted to close Hu Hai, but the other party didn't buy it, but he even left without saying goodbye. Now he has even kidnapped the girl he likes. A hero like Liu Bang, the most unwilling thing to tolerate is someone robbing his woman, especially a beautiful beauty like Qi Ji.
They chased Hu Hai along the way.
The spies sent to the beginning could still find Hu Hai and the others' traces.
But for some reason, after the complex terrain a few days ago, the spies they sent could not find Hu Hai's trace. What made Liu Bang and Fan Kuai even more angry in the past few days was that not only could they not find Hu Hai's trace, but even the spies they sent had never returned.
Faced with this situation, Liu Bang no longer thought about killing Hu Hai.
He and Fan Kuai sent more than a dozen spies to investigate whether there were any enemy signs around them. But what made them scared and angry was that these spies had disappeared after they went out.
The two of them dared not disperse their men anymore. After all, this is the territory of Zhao State, and their large group of people cannot quench their intimidation.
Walking further, something that made Liu Bang and Fan Kuai feel palpitations happened.
About a few miles away, you will find a sharpened wooden pole on the side of the road, one end is inserted into the frozen soil, and a human head is inserted at the other end.
Fan Kuai carefully identified the head, and it was the spy they sent out.
I looked down at the wooden stick inserted in the frozen soil, and it was inserted in one go. It was obviously inserted into the frozen soil by internal experts.
After walking for more than twenty miles, Fan Kuai and Liu Bang finally took back the heads of the spy they sent out.
The hundreds of personal soldiers who followed them were carefully selected brave masters, but facing the wooden poles with heads all over the way, they also felt an inexplicable sense of fear.
Liu Bang and Fan Kuai's faces were even more gloomy.
These are naturally Han Tan's thirty-six souls in secret.
Liu Bang and Fan Kuai wanted to plot against their second emperor Hu Hai, so they gave Liu Bang and Fan Kuai a warning.
If Han Tan hadn't had too few people and could not fight against Liu Bang head-on, he might have destroyed Liu Bang directly.
Hu Hai didn't know that such a bloody thing happened later.
He led Meng Hang and others into the Luer Ridge area, and it was getting darker at this time. A lonely village flashed in front of him.
There are a few scattered lights that make the village's loneliness in the wilderness.
Meng Hang, who was on the side, had already beaten forward, walked to the first house in the village entrance and jumped off the horse, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Who?" a woman asked timidly in her voice.
"We are on the way. We missed Guantou and wanted to spend some time. Please ask the girl!" Meng Hang's voice was honest and the easiest thing to call him.
Sure enough, the dilapidated courtyard gate opened, and a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old poked her head out to look at Meng Hang and Hu Hai. Seeing that one of them looked honest, the other had extraordinary eyebrows. She nodded and asked several people to enter the courtyard.
Before their carriages and horses could fully enter the yard, they heard an old man shouting in the house: "Xing'er, I've talked about you many times, but I still don't have a memory. The Fan family in the east of the village has recently come to many Hu people, who often harm the villagers. You... you are so angry." As an old man in his sixties walked out of the house and saw Hu Hai and others riding a horse and crossing his sword, he immediately said nothing, and stepped forward and pulled Xing'er behind him.
Hu Hai politely bowed to the old man and said, "Old man, we are staying for a stay, this is the money for staying for a stay." As he said that, Meng Hang handed over a piece of silver.
The old man had never seen such a large piece of silver, but his backbone was very hard and said, "The houses in the countryside are not worth the price. You can just stay calm and leave early tomorrow morning. Recently, the Hu people in the village are not peaceful. Don't implicate you."
As he said that, he opened the door and asked Hu Hai and others to enter the room. He even asked Xing'er to boil water to moisten everyone's throat.
The furnishings in the house are extremely simple and can basically be regarded as being a home-small wall.
Xing'er was very enthusiastic and boiled water while putting the rice into the pot.
After a while, she came in with a hot pot of rice soup.
"Sir, you are thirsty. I'll bring you some rice soup, you can drink it first." A timid voice sounded in Hu Hai's ears.
After adapting to the sudden light, Hu Hai gradually saw clearly that in front of him was a girl of seventeen or eighteen, wearing coarse cloth clothes that could not hide her well-developed body. Although she was dressed as a farm girl, her face was as clear as a lotus. Although she could not be shocking, she was definitely not like a vulgar woman.
Seeing Hu Hai being stunned and silent, the girl's face turned red slightly.
Hu Hai quickly took the rice soup, very embarrassed. He was just stunned when he saw this woman who was different from the average farm girl.
"What's your name?" Hu Hai asked.
The girl's pretty face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head and said, "My name is Xing'er. I have lived here with my grandfather since I was a child."
Hu Hai smiled, Xing'er was a simple girl.
"What is this?" Hu Hai saw a broken book on the rough table on one side. It seemed that the grandfather and grandson were still familiar with the words.
"This is Xiaogu Village, which is under the jurisdiction of Baima County." Xing'er replied.
"Xiaogu Village!" Hu Hai felt like he opened a door in his heart when he heard this name.
It’s really like there’s no way out, and there’s a dark and bright village. I didn’t expect that I would come to Xiaogu Village by chance.
Isn’t this little Gu Village the clues of Wuling’s treasures mentioned by Li Jian and others?
The number of Hu people in this village has increased recently. Could it be that they came for the Wuling treasure? Hu Hai was thinking.
The old man sighed and said, "The Fan family in the east has recruited many Hu people, and these days it has harmed several girls in the village. It's a sin! Xing'er, you can't run around anymore, do you understand?"
