Chapter 1168: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (Fifty-Eight) Saving People

The crowd at the head of the village gradually dispersed. The orphans and widows of several families whose heads had been beheaded cried bitterly as they packed up the bodies of their relatives, leaving behind sorrow all over the ground. The wind howled, picking up the fallen leaves on the ground and flying in the wind. Some of them flew away with the wind, while others fell on the nearby roofs, rolling and struggling in the gaps between the tiled houses, but in the end they were unaware of the raging wind.

The wind was biting to the bone, pouring down the collar of the clothes, making people cold to the bone. However, Qiao Wan didn't notice it at all. She stood there blankly, looking up at the gloomy sky with her head at a 45-degree angle. Like a stone sculpture.

what to do? Are these the words that Qiao Wan is thinking about over and over in her mind? If I had known this, I should have followed Ye Feng and left Qiaojia Village two months ago.

"Ms., please go home!" A familiar voice came from beside her. Qiao Wan lowered his head. It was his wife's voice. His wife had not come out before. It was obvious that she had received a report from the villagers. Then she rushed over from home and looked at her. With his red and swollen eyes, it was obvious that he knew what happened today. "

Staggering, the old couple supported each other and stumbled back to the door. The tile-roofed houses in the house still had new tiles replaced by Ye Feng and others. The fences surrounding the small courtyard were not the branches used by other villagers. Thatch, but neatly shaved wood. Of course, this was also the work of the young officer. Seeing all this, Qiao Wan felt a sting in her heart. If she had known this, why did she do it in the first place? "

"Dad, Mom!" His son Qiao Zheng came up to her in a panic, "My sister locked herself in the room and cried loudly, and no one was allowed in."

The couple looked at each other with tears in their eyes, unable to do anything.

"Also, there are others in the room." Qiao Zheng paused. Said again.

"Someone else, who?"

"Yes, it's someone sent by Qiao Tang."

Qiao Wan was filled with anger and strode into the door. At a glance, she saw four more people coming out of the room. There are two men and two women. The man is strong and strong, while the woman has a round waist and thick arms.

"Mr. Qiao is back!" A man with a fierce look on his face came up to him. "According to Master Qiao's order, I am here to guard the door for Mr. Qiao to prevent some disdainful people from disturbing his peace. These two women Mr. Qiao sent me to serve the young lady."

Hearing these words, Qiao Wan's heart suddenly went cold. She had previously planned to run away with her family overnight, but little did she know that the other party had already anticipated her plan. He actually sent someone to look after his family.

"How dare Qiao Tang do this? After all, we haven't released the fifth server yet. He is *, you know?" Qiao Wan frowned and yelled at the other party.

The leading man laughed heartily.

"Mr. Qiao, there is no one who can't get out of the fifth service. Your family and Mr. Qiao's family are not even close to each other. They just have the same surname. Your Rong Niang is favored by the master. That is your family's blessing. Well, Mr. Qiao, I don’t have to hide it from you. Your family has a close relationship with a general named Ye from the Han Dynasty. Is it possible to be alive now? He must have been dragged to the village and beheaded like Qiao San and others! So, Mr. Qiao, be content!" The man casually grabbed Qiao Zheng, who was looking at him angrily. Look at Brother Zheng, he's only twelve or thirteen years old. If he gets his head chopped off, tsk tsk, that would be a pity, and Mr. Qiao's family would be cut off!"

Qiao Wan was like a balloon with a hole punctured, and her whole body suddenly withered. Qiao's legs went weak and she sat down on the ground.

"You two, why don't you hurry up and accompany Miss Rongniang? If Miss Rong Niang loses a hair, you two won't have to live anymore." The leading man looked frightened Qiao Wan, couldn't help but smiled proudly, and said to shouted at the two strong women beside him.

"I got it, housekeeper!" The two strong women immediately walked to the side room. The door of Rong Niang's room was tightly closed. No matter how the two strong women beat outside, there was no movement. The strong man in the lead was cold. With a smile, he walked to the door, raised his fist, and hit the door hard. The thin door panel crashed and broke into several pieces. The two strong women screamed in surprise, took big steps, and rushed in. Everyone was there. While talking, Rong Niang actually put a rope on the beam and was standing on the stool to put her neck into the rope loop.

The two strong women ran away. They held up Rong Niang's feet and dragged her off the stool. Mrs. Qiao burst into tears and rushed in. The two women hugged each other and cried loudly.

"Miss Qiao, I advise you to be more content and look at your parents and brothers. If you have a problem, they won't be able to survive. Think about it carefully. It takes you alone to bring peace to your family." There is also future glory and wealth, this kind of business is enough!" The leader of the big man said coldly.

Qiao Wan sighed and sat down on the ground.

Qiaojia Village welcomed the first snow of this winter. Compared with previous years, this year's snow seemed to be particularly heavy. If it were in previous years, everyone in Qiaojia Village would be extremely happy. A heavy snowfall is enough to ensure a good harvest next year. But now, the entire Qiaojia Village has fallen into a deathly silence. Not only is the still shocking large pool of blood at the entrance of the village a reminder, but also because their family's food is running out. Originally, this year's harvest was very good, but after the Han army left and Qiao Tang returned, the rent doubled, almost wiped out their harvest this year. Whether they can survive this winter has become a question. Everyone is thinking about how to survive this year that is destined to be famine.

Compared with other people in Qiaojia Village, Qiao Wan's family seemed even more desperate. Days passed, and the ten-day deadline of Qiao Tang was getting closer and closer. Yesterday, Qiao Tang sent a few gifts, claiming that they were betrothal gifts to the Qiao family, and even sent a bright red wedding dress. There was only one day left, and it was the final deadline. Qiao Wan was at a loss. It was really a hopeless situation. Was he really going to give his beautiful and charming daughter to Qiao Tang, who was almost sixty years old, to be the tenth concubine?

There were a few more men in the house, watching everyone in Qiao Wan's family closely. Even when he went to the toilet, someone followed him. Even if Qiao Wan had any plans, he couldn't do them. What's more, he was just an ordinary person who had read a little and was powerless.

Regret, except for regret, he couldn't think of anything else.

It was late at night, and Qiao Wan leaned against the cold bed. His eyes were dull. Today, all day long, the people sent by Qiao Tang were decorating their yard. The red silk was wrapped around the fence, and the doors of the house were also posted with red wedding characters. Tomorrow. Qiao's bridal sedan is coming. His daughter is afraid that she will say goodbye to him forever. Qiao Wan knows his daughter's temperament. She doesn't want to drag down the family. He is afraid that once she enters Qiao Tang's house, it will be the moment of Rong Niang's death. He covered his face and tears fell silently.

His wife went to the wing room to accompany her daughter. Through the wall, Qiao Wan could hear the sobbing coming from there. Outside the door, the snoring was deafening. Those were the lackeys who were guarding his family.

The window made a slight sound, and a cold wind immediately poured in. Qiao Wan thought he didn't close the window properly. Turning back, his pupils suddenly dilated. The window opened without wind, and a head suddenly hung down from it, with a cloth covering his face and a finger standing on his mouth. A soft hissing sound was made.

Qiao Wan's eyes widened as he watched the man in white crawl in from the window like a civet cat. If his nerves hadn't been almost numb these days, he would have almost screamed.

"Don't make a sound. We were sent by Commander Ye." The man put his mouth close to Qiao Wan's ear, "Ye Feng, you should know him, right?"

Qiao Wan's heart was shocked. The young commander of the Han army had not forgotten their family, nor had he forgotten Rong Niang. He actually sent people over when their family was in the most critical situation. However, how did they know that their family was now at the most critical moment?

The man made a few gestures, stretched his hand out of the window, and waved. In Qiao Wan's wide eyes, one after another strong men with white scarves on their faces and dressed in white crawled in from the window.

"There is one in front of my door, one in front of Zhong'er's room, two in the main room, two in the yard outside, and two strong women in Rong Niang's room." Qiao Wan finally reacted and whispered to the man.

The man nodded, and several men gathered their heads together. After a few low discussions, a man walked to the door and gently opened it. A strong man wrapped in a blanket was sitting at Qiao Wan's door. In front of him, a pot of charcoal was burning. The man's wrist shook, and a cold light appeared in his hand. He walked silently to the strong man wrapped in a blanket, slowly stretched out his hand, and the cold blade moved closer little by little. Suddenly, he covered the other's mouth and nose with one hand, and quickly wiped with the other hand. The strong man who was snoring like thunder opened his eyes and looked at the pair of cold eyes in front of him in horror. There was a hissing sound of air leaking from his throat. His legs stretched straight and bounced a few times, and the whole person went soft like noodles.

Watching the man in white kill a man in front of him silently like slaughtering a pig or a sheep, Qiao Wan felt that his heart was about to jump out, and the whole person was soft and couldn't lift any strength.

Several people in white floated out of the house like ghosts.

Those fierce men who were as fierce as wolves and tigers in front of Qiao Wan and the villagers were like docile lambs in front of these people in white, with no room for resistance. In an instant, the house was already filled with a strong smell of blood. During the whole process, it seemed that only two short screams came from Rong Niang's house, which were the voices of Rong Niang and her mother.

After a while, the people in white who went out came back again. Two of them held a woman in their hands, and the other held her legs and trembled.

Looking at Qiao Wan's eyes, the first person in white smiled and said, "Mr. Qiao, the two of them are also women, and they will not offend Mrs. Qiao and Miss."

"May I ask who you are?" Qiao Wan finally calmed down, stood up, and bowed to the people who came in.

The man in white pulled off his mask and said, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Zhang Xi, and I work for the Supervisory Office of the Han Kingdom."

"Supervisory Office?" Qiao Wan was stunned.

"Oh, that's right. We were entrusted by General Ye Fengye to come to Qiaojia Village to welcome Mr. and his family to the Han Dynasty." Zhang Xi said with a smile.

"How did you come so coincidentally?" Qiao Wan was stunned for a moment. "To be honest, if you didn't come tonight, Rong Niang would probably be gone."

Zhang Xi nodded. "At first, we didn't expect such a change. In order to deal with this matter, we came a few days late and made some necessary preparations. But Mr. Qiao, don't worry. With us, we will definitely protect your family to arrive at the destination safely."

In fact, Zhang Xi still had some words to say, because considering Qiao Wan's previous attitude, they originally planned to kidnap Qiao Wan's family. They didn't want to change. After arriving at the destination, they found that things had taken a great turn. This made them feel much more relaxed, but the previously prepared plan had to be changed in time.

"Mr. Qiao, we have investigated Qiao Tang's future. His son works in a secret organization in the State of Chu, Ghost Shadow, and his official position is not low, so we still have to hurry up and leave. Please change your clothes quickly so that we can set off. This heavy snow has caused us a lot of trouble." "Okay, let's pack up and leave immediately." "Don't pack anything. When you arrive in the Han Dynasty, you will not lack anything!" Zhang Xi smiled, but he was thinking in his heart, if you knew General Ye Feng's family background, I wonder what you would think? He is one of the most distinguished people in the Han Dynasty. Look at Qiao Rongniang, she is not a natural beauty, but I don't know why General Ye Feng is so obsessed with her. (To be continued)
