Chapter 201: Out of the City
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the carriage drove into a remote house in Xicheng, but the other two men turned their horses and went in the opposite direction, thinking that they had another task. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Everything was planned, and Yan Wei was in charge of the house. After we rested for a while, changed our attire, and replenished our water and food, the sky turned from black to gray, and it was already about to shine.
Yan Wei didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave, just sat at the table and drank tea leisurely. It looks like they're waiting for someone.
I didn't have the same concentration as he did, and after walking back and forth in the house twice, I leaned against the doorframe and looked out. Wang Meng took people to the entrance of the alley to guard, and Wu Yuanzheng was left in the courtyard to direct two people to put large and small boxes into another carriage. Their movements were clean and clean, without making any sound, only the expression of nervousness and solemnity.
"Aren't you feeling bad anymore? Why don't you come and sit down for a while?"
Just when I was at a loss in front of me, Yan Wei's voice suddenly sounded behind me.
I turned around, smiled at him, and said, "It's just that I'm still uncomfortable, so I can't sit." ”
"Don't worry, we'll be able to leave right away. His tone was calm and gentle, which really reassured me.
"After that, where are you going?" I was still leaning against the door frame and looking out, not knowing what I was looking at.
"You didn't say you were going..."
While Yan Wei was talking, I saw Wang Meng coming back from outside in a hurry. His expression was serious, and he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad. I immediately chuckled in my heart, and unconsciously stood up straight and watched him walk step by step.
After entering the door, he said to Yan Wei, "Childe, they are back." ”
Yan Wei nodded in response. Looking outside, the two men who had left on horseback before wore the armor of a soldier and carried a man in a brocade coat and beard entered the door. The man's dark green silk shirt and jade-inlaid belt were tied around his head, and he looked like a wealthy man.
The man slammed the brocade-clothed man to the ground and shouted, "Kneel!"
The brocade-clothed man first sighed and fell to the ground, and then he got up and knelt in front of Yan Wei and kowtowed like pounding garlic and begged, "Uncle spare your life!
The person who wore it looked human, kneeling on the ground at this time and wagging his tail and begging for mercy like a dog, this person's festival really didn't know where to go. Seeing him like this, I could only sneer.
Yan Wei asked him, "Are you the housekeeper of the Taishou Mansion?"
"It's... Be... The villain Liu Shun is the housekeeper of the Taishou Mansion. Please spare your lives!" Liu Shun continued to plead.
No wonder it looks like a dog, it turns out to be a dog.
Yan Wei said, "It's not difficult for me to spare your life, just help me do something." This is done, and you will be able to live. ”
"The little one must help, but please don't hurt the little one's life. Liu Shun agreed very neatly.
"Actually, it's a trivial matter, you just need to send us out of Mengzhou City safely. ”
As soon as Yan Wei's words were finished, Liu Shun raised his head sharply to look at Yan Wei, and said in surprise, "Could it be that you are..."
But he kicked the man in the back and shouted, "What is it? If you want to save your life, send us out of Mengzhou City safely, don't say anything useless. ”
Liu Shun was kicked to the ground, and then knelt up straight, trembling and responding, "Yes! Yes, the little one will do it." ”
The matter here has been completed, Wu Yuan reported to Yan Wei again, and everything has been cleaned up. Yan Wei then ordered everyone to set off, and at this time, the sky was turning from gray to white, and it was the time of chaos.
Wang Meng escorted Liu Shun in the carriage loaded with miscellaneous items in front, Wu Yuan drove the carriage and Yan Wei in the middle, the two men in military armor, one after the other, turned the alley, entered the long street, and arrived in front of the West City Gate not far away.
I lifted the curtain and looked, and there was a general in silver armor on a tall horse guarding the gate of the city with a large number of soldiers. I can't help but worry a little in my heart, even if Liu Shun is here, is it too eye-catching for us to be in such a hurry to get out of the city.
After lowering the curtain, I realized that I was already in a cold sweat.
Yan Wei took my hand and asked me, "What's wrong?"
Although he couldn't see, he seemed to know everything, and he couldn't hide anything from him. I had no choice but to reply truthfully, "There are a large number of officers and soldiers guarding the gates of the city. ”
He then smiled lightly and asked me, "Are you scared?"
I replied, "I'm the most life-saving person, of course I'm afraid. ”
"Rest assured, everything is in plan and it will be fine. He held my hand tightly.
I had reached the gate of the city, and the carriage was stopped by the guards guarding the city, and I leaned forward a little and sat upright again. The guards guarding the city shouted outside, "All the people in the carriage get out of the carriage and check!"
As soon as the silver-armored general waved, a group of soldiers surrounded our convoy.
"Who is so bold? The car of the Taishou Mansion dares to stop?" Liu Shun lifted the curtain, revealing a very angry face with a blowing beard and glaring eyes. Mengzhou Shou is the heaven of Mengzhou, Liu Shun works under the hands of heaven, and he is also used to being powerful and blessed on weekdays, and no one dares to provoke it.
Seeing that it was Liu Shun, the general dismounted, approached and smiled, "It turned out to be Steward Liu, but I don't know why you want to leave the city so early?"
"Adjutant Xu, I don't think there's any need for me to explain these things to you!"
Liu Shun forced Adjutant Xu to respond in embarrassment, "What Steward Liu said is that it is just the duty of the last general, please understand." ”
"Alright, have you finished checking? If you make a mistake, it's up to you to explain it to the adults. ”
"Since it was arranged by an adult, it is natural to let it go. However, this inspection procedure is still indispensable. Adjutant Xu said, but his eyes looked at the carriage behind him.
"Is the carriage of the Taishou Mansion searched as much as you want? You don't want to die, aren't you afraid that the adults will cut off your head?"
Fine beads of sweat broke out on Liu Shun's forehead, and if someone really came to search the carriage, the knife behind him would instantly pierce his body.
"Steward Liu thinks too much, the last general is just a businessman, that is, when it comes to the adult, I believe the adult will not punish the last general. Adjutant Xu's attitude hardened, and he had made up his mind to search the car.
Liu Shun was so anxious that he wanted to jump to his feet, pointing at Adjutant Xu and threatening, "You... If you dare, I will tell your lordship and let him cure you of the crime of disrespect. ”
Adjutant Xu didn't seem to buy it, smiled contemptuously, and raised his hand to order a car search. The situation was so critical, and my palms were sweating nervously.
Yan Wei held my hand and never let go, and I looked up at him as steady as Mount Tai. Then, he calmed down and said slowly, "Liu Shun, since Adjutant Xu has to search, let him search!"
Adjutant Xu heard a woman's voice coming out, his face showed some confusion, and he immediately looked up at Liu Shun. Seeing Liu Shunshun answering, "Since Madame agrees to search, then Adjutant Xu, you can just search! ”
Adjutant Xu's face was immediately not so good-looking, and he became embarrassed. The ancients attached great importance to the defense of men and women, if he dragged his wife to the street for others to watch, then his loss of official position was small, and his loss of life was big, and he could still understand the pros and cons of this point.
He hurriedly smiled and excused himself, "Misunderstanding, the last general doesn't know that Mrs. is in the car." Since there is a lady here, naturally there is no need to search. ”
After saying that, he waved his hand again and shouted loudly to the guards, "Let go!"
Liu Shun snorted coldly and said to the coachman, "Let's go!", then slammed the curtain and shrank into the carriage.
The coachman got the order, and after urging the horse to slowly go out of the city gate, he dared to whip a few times and drive the carriage away. When the carriage finally got farther and farther away from the city gates, I gasped and went limp.
Yan Wei took my hand and took me into his arms, gently held my shoulders and said, "You did a good job. ”
I only felt afraid, and I didn't dare to think that if Adjutant Xu really sent soldiers to search, what would happen.
