Chapter 22 Section 22

We were stunned, and before we could recover, a large number of young and strong men poured into the house with a whoosh, all of them were wrapped in blue turbans, holding knives, halberds, shields, or Hooks, bows and crossbows are carried on their backs.The leader is about thirty years old, with a huge bun, and short beards on the lower half of his face, which rise and fall one after another.He was holding a bow and arrow in his hand. Obviously, the fatal arrow shot on the back of the pavilion chief Wang Lihan just now was written by him. Uncle subconsciously shouted: "Come here, quickly protect Zhang Hou, there are thieves, there are thieves."

Zhang Hou's attendants had already surrounded him, surrounded by stars like the moon, with the knives out of their sheaths in their hands, all pointing forward.Perhaps because of this kind of heavy guard, Zhang Hou seemed to be calmer than Uncle, he said sharply: "Who are you, you just attacked the national pavilion." The middle-aged man with the bow sneered a few times, revealing a mouthful of black and yellowish teeth, like rotten wood eaten by moths, and they were all in pieces.Its jaggedness reminds me of uneven green reefs on the bottom of the sea, from which long kelp may float out at any time.These are the unique teeth of people who eat brown rice every day. I can probably guess the identity of this person.

"I, Taihang King Sun Meng, here to borrow some money and food from the lords and generals. If you are good, I will do so quickly and spare your lives. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. I promise in the name of the Queen Mother of the West," he said loudly. road. We looked at each other, our faces pale.It really is a group of robbers.Earlier I heard that the iron officials in Changshan and Taiyuan counties rebelled, seized the weapons in the county arsenal, killed the county magistrate, gathered to protect Taihang Mountain, and robbed the passing officials and pedestrians. The leader was Sun Meng, who called himself Taihang King.The guards of the two counties sent troops to encircle and suppress them early, claiming that they had been completely wiped out, but they did not expect them to be alive and kicking.

Subconsciously, I grabbed my husband's sleeve tightly, my nails almost digging into his flesh.He took a deep breath in pain, and said: "Aying, don't be afraid, we are going to die, we will die together, I won't, leave you behind, don't care." This worthless man.I'm a little disappointed, but what am I disappointed?Who can deal with so many thieves.Can son-in-law do it? When Sun Meng heard what he said, he glanced at me, a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on his face, and he praised: "This little lady is so beautiful, tsk tsk, really good, very good. I have never seen such a beautiful woman in my life." daughter. I promise in the name of the Queen Mother of the West."

God!The thief leader actually took a fancy to me.It's no wonder that my beauty is obvious to all.My body subconsciously hid behind my husband. Sun Meng also said to himself: "Tsk tsk, that's right..." and walked towards me while carrying the bow on his back. I looked at the rock in his mouth, my body trembling, and then quickly glanced sideways at my husband, his face was also ashen. Fortunately, Sun Meng stopped only two or three feet away from me.Only then did I see clearly that his face was lumpy like a grapefruit peel, dotted with fine scars, which might have been scalded during the perennial iron smelting work.His hands were also quite dark, covered with black grime, the grime was so old, it seemed that it had become one with his skin.At the same time, I also found that the palm of his left hand was missing two fingers, probably because of the incomplete body, which made him look more and more violent.

"Little madam, come with me. You will be the queen, I will be the king, and we will be alone in the south. It's not a hundred times better than following this damned little official." He said with a smile, his black and yellow gums were open up and down, almost A muddy line of mucus swayed between the upper and lower gums, like a spider's thread, making the separation of the two gums rather indecisive and reluctant. I felt my chest churning, but I held it back and didn't spit it out. He frowned: "If you promise me, I will spare the lives of everyone in this hall, otherwise I will kill them all. I promise in the name of Queen Mother Xi."

Wow, I couldn't help crying. The thieves behind him suddenly laughed, like a wheat field blown by a strong wind. With a plop, the husband suddenly knelt down and begged: "Your Majesty, my wife is pregnant. I beg you, Your Majesty, to spare him. I can buy a few young and beautiful maidservants and give them to your Majesty. Concubine Ji..." It was crazy for him to call the leader of the thieves the king.Even if he can escape with his life today, if someone sues him to the court, he will be sentenced to be cut in half, there is no doubt about it.However, I felt a touch of emotion, after all, he did it for me and had to do it.

"Pregnant?" Sun Meng was stunned for a moment. He rubbed his hands, looking rather cramped, and suddenly kicked my husband to the ground, cursing: "If you fucking lie to me, I'll kill you!" Divide your corpse into five horses, five horses into quarters, do what you say. I promise in the name of Queen Mother Xi." The husband rolled on the ground, got up, quickly returned to the standard kneeling position, kowtowed and said: "My lord, everything I said is true." Sun Meng drew out the knife and pressed the back of the knife on my husband's back: "Whatever is true, you stutter when you speak, obviously you have a ghost in your heart. Only a liar stutters."

"No-yes, no-yes", the husband became more and more anxious, "Really..." I couldn't stand idly by anymore, and hurriedly answered for him: "My husband usually talks like this. He didn't lie, but his eloquence is not good." Sun Meng looked up at me, with a pleasant expression on his face: "It's so beautiful. Very good, since there is a beauty to rescue you, I will spare your life. Whether she is pregnant or not, I will decide. Regardless of whether she is pregnant or not. In the future, all of them will be the sons of my Taihang King. I will make them little kings, and I promise in the name of the Queen Mother of the West."

He kicked my husband again: "Go away, since we both have the same hobbies, you can leave some money and not give it to me, and go and buy a maid to be your wife. Anyway, I want to decide on this woman." gone." The husband immediately collapsed on the ground, crying bitterly.Uncle's face was livid, he hesitated to speak.Auntie lowered her head and began to cry.
