Bian Ruohan wailed loudly. Her shrill cries hurt the eardrums of those who were nearby.
"Why? Why?! He never treated me with sincerity. Why should I bear his wrongs now that he's dead?! You say that I took advantage of him, but when did I ever do that? How can you guys be so unreasonable! "
Pang Xiao couldn't be bothered to argue with a woman. She turned to leave.
Huzi sneered mockingly, "Tsk, tsk. Where did this fool come from? The winner takes all. You're just a family member of a defeated general. How dare you talk to us about reason?"
As soon as he said this, the surrounding Jinghu Wei burst into laughter. Bian Ruohan was so angry that she trembled all over.
Huzi still remembered how this woman had bullied the princess consort when she was insolent. He crossed his arms and glared at her, "If you ask me, this Master Lu is really pitiful! His corpse hasn't even turned cold yet, and his widow is already thinking of betraying him. You say that you didn't take advantage of him. You used to live a life of luxury and had slaves and maids. Did all that money come from the wind? Without Master Lu's protection, someone like you would have died eight hundred times in the Tatan barracks. It's not even a clean death! Yet you're not grateful to him at all. In the blink of an eye, you want to betray him. What kind of family did you come from? In my opinion, even an old man who collects night incense is nobler than you! "
"You! How dare you! "Bian Ruohan was so angry that she stomped her feet.
Huzi sneered, "Do you still think you're the wife of Master Lu? Take her away! "
The Jinghu Wei rushed forward and quickly stuffed Bian Ruohan into the prison carriage.
Bian Ruohan could only half-squat in the prison carriage. Her neck and wrists were locked to the roof. She immediately cried for her parents and shouted things like, "Prince Zhongshun's troops are abusing female prisoners!"
However, she was in Da Zhou's barracks with 480,000 soldiers. Even if she wanted to leave the barracks, she would have to shout for another two hours. In addition, other than the South Pacifying Army, the Dragon Stallion Army, the Tiger Army, and various other troops, most of the people in the barracks were citizens of the northern towns who came to join the army because of Pang Xiao.
They had a deep-seated hatred toward the Tatars; they followed Pang Xiao to avenge their families, so they were very grateful toward Pang Xiao. When they heard a woman shouting outside, at first they were puzzled. But when they asked around, they found out that it was the wife of the Master of the Lu Family, and that the Master of the Lu Family was the traitor who had betrayed the country and led the Tatars into the Great Zhou, everybody was furious.
Bian Ruohan was an unknown woman who was lucky enough to enjoy the same treatment as the Tatan Khan, Si Qin. Before the troops could leave the barracks, they threw mud all over her body. Her face was stiff in the cage and she did not have the strength to shout.
Si Qin looked forward with a stiff expression. If he did not understand Da Zhou's language, then so be it. However, he did. He was used to the life of being above everyone. Now that he was a prisoner, it was as if all the strength in his body had been used up.
Thinking of the scene where he saw Lu Heng kill himself, Si Qin shuddered.
In his life, he had killed countless people. He could even kill the person who slept with him without hesitation. When he saw A Nari stop breathing in despair, he could still feel some pleasure in his heart.
But now, Lu Heng's blood splattered on the spot in front of the prisoner's cart made him feel fear in his heart.
Perhaps Lu Heng's choice was correct. Such a smart person naturally chose the most straightforward and least painful way to die.

In the season of pomegranate flowers and rain, Qin Yining and his group finally went around the capital and arrived at the mountain range at the junction of Yuanzhou and Yan.
"Divine Design Valley should be nearby." Xie Yue looked around and compared it with the map in his hand. He said, "But Divine Design Valley has never welcomed outsiders, and it is surrounded by Qimen Dunjia. If we want to enter the valley, we have to wait for the right time."
What was the right time? Naturally, it was the disciples of Divine Design Valley who found them and allowed them to go.
Qin Yining tightened his shoulders and nodded. He said, "Don't worry. This is the territory of Divine Design Sect. Even if they are mysterious, I believe that their eyes and ears are still very clear. Let's find a village nearby and live temporarily. I believe that we will meet people from Divine Design Valley who will come out to buy. "
"Yes." Everyone agreed and turned to find a place to live temporarily.
Ji Yun said in a low voice, "Princess wants to pay respects to Tian Jizi with good intentions. But I'm afraid that the people of Divine Design Sect will refuse us. "
Qin Yining smiled and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter. Even if the people of Divine Design Sect don't allow us to pay respects to Tian Jizi, we still have people living in Divine Design Valley."
"Yes!" Bing Tang's smile was full of expectation and excitement. "I haven't seen Little Congee for a long time. I don't know how she is."
"Mu gongzi's arrangement can't be wrong. Divine Design Valley won't treat her badly."
Qin Yining sighed. "I had no choice but to send Lian Xiaozhou to live in seclusion. Now the situation in the court is changing rapidly. I originally wanted to let Little Congee live a peaceful life, but now I have to trouble her."
"There's no other way." Bing Tang comforted him. "Born in troubled times, it's not easy to live a peaceful life. What's more, Little Congee has that identity. Little Congee is a sensible person and has been taught by Princess for many years. She treats Princess like her own sister. She will understand you. "
Qin Yining frowned slightly and smiled helplessly. "Even if she doesn't understand, there's nothing I can do. But I will explain it to Little Congee in detail. "
"Princess, there's a big village ahead."
Jing Zhe acted as a scout and reported back.
Qin Yining said, "Then let's go."
The group of people moved forward quickly and soon arrived at the village.
There was a spacious street with many shops on both sides. The villagers all had smiles on their faces. Obviously, this place had completely walked out of the shadow of the famine and was full of vitality.
However, the group of people walked all the way and found that such a big village didn't even have an inn.
Xie Yue smiled and said, "If we didn't deliberately come here, there would be very few people in this isolated mountain. It doesn't matter. This old man will go and find out if we can find a place to stay for the night. It would be better if we can rent a courtyard to stay temporarily."
Xie Yue was born with a medium build and a kind face. He didn't appear to be shrewd, but was very easy to talk to and had a kind appearance. When coming to a strange place, it was easy for him to find out about something with such a kind face.
Qin Yining and the others stood in the distance and waited.
For this trip, Qin Yining had four spies by his side, Xie Yue and two servant girls. Because it involved Tianji Valley and Lian Xiaozhou, he had specially arranged for Liao Zhibing and Meng Qin to be nearby to provide support. He didn't plan to let the people of Qingtian Alliance interfere unless it was necessary.
Not long after, Xie Yue came back with a smile and said, "We came at the right time. The people of Tianji Sect should be coming out of the valley to purchase food and daily necessities in the next two days. They don't have a courtyard to rent, but the people in this village aren't small. I've already heard that the people of Tianji Sect enter the village from the east every time. It's not impossible for us to find a house in the east to receive them."
Bing Tang couldn't help but praise, "With Sir Xie taking action, nothing is difficult."
"That's right." Qin Yining nodded in agreement, "It's all thanks to Sir Xie coming that our trip can be so smooth."
Xie Yue hurriedly waved her hand, "Don't praise this old one. In reality, this old one is just running errands for nothing. This old one has always believed in wang fei's strategy."
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Sir Xie is sincere and good at making decisions. I rely on Sir a lot. Sir is very talented, so there's no need to belittle myself."
Everyone agreed with Xie Yue's ability and character, so they all nodded.
Xie Yue's face was red, but she was happy inside. The group went to the east side of the village. With Xie Yue taking the lead, they found a large residence that only the old couple lived in.
Because they had given enough money, the old couple was very enthusiastic when receiving the guests. They specially cleared out a courtyard for Qin Yining's group to live in.
Seeing that the leader of the group was a young madam who was as beautiful as a fairy, and the two servant girls beside her looked like fairies by Guanyin Bodhisattva's side, the old couple was shocked.
"Amitabha, this old one has opened her eyes to see such a fairy-like person."
Bing Tang laughed, "Granny, what's your surname? How should we address you? "
"My husband's surname is Cui. Little girl, are you in your teens?" Granny Cui asked with a smile.
Bing Tang stuck out her tongue, "I'm twenty-two, how am I in my teens?"
"Twenty-two?" Granny Cui clicked her tongue. Looking at Bing Tang's white little round face and big eyes, she couldn't help but shake her head, "You're a girl from a big family in the city. You eat well and use well. The twenty-two women in our village don't look like you. You're only fourteen or fifteen."
Bing Tang always had a delicate face. In the past, she looked like twelve or thirteen when she was fourteen or fifteen, but now she looked like fourteen or fifteen when she was in her twenties. That bastard Huzi always called her a potato spirit that never grew up. She was used to it.
Bing Tang chatted with Granny Cui and borrowed the stove. Granny Cui said goodbye to Xie Yue, Jing Zhe, and the others with a simple and honest smile and returned to her courtyard.
Qin Yining and Ji Yun returned to the house. Ji Yun put down the bundle and took out the original bedding in the house to dry. Qin Yining took off her shoulder and wanted to help, but Ji Yun hurriedly stopped her, "Don't move. The injury on your shoulder hasn't healed yet. This time, you've lost a lot of vitality. That little girl Bing Tang was so anxious that she kept scolding you. Do you still dare to move? Careful, the scab has cracked. Bing Tang will be angry again. "
When Qin Yining thought of Bing Tang's nagging appearance, she found it funny. She said helplessly, "If I had known, I would have brought Smile and Ziyuan here. They could have helped you."
"Although Smile and Ziyuan are good, their experience is limited. This time, it involves the Tianji Valley. It's right not to bring them. Besides, I'm not that tired. It's not troublesome to fold the quilt and make the bed. Do you think I can't do this kind of work with my martial arts skills?"
