Cui Shi looked at the remaining forty-five people, his eyes flashed with satisfaction, most of the rest are die-hard people from the General's Mansion, who can do anything to protect their masters. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Cui Shi didn't care about the two dozen people who escaped, and said to the rest of the people: "I'm very grateful to the people who are willing to stay, I plan to go all the way to Dongyang City, time is urgent, let's set off now." After speaking, he hugged Tang Yuehan and asked Mu Lan to walk to the west door with Tang Yuehao in his arms. The two nurses have already been sent away, the two nurses are from the capital, and they must not want to go with them, Tang Yuehao and Tang Yuehan are only seven months old, so Cui's family begged the mother's family to find a nurse from the Dingguo Mansion, and then went to Dongyang City together.

Dongyang City is the easternmost city in the south, and then in the past is the West Zhao country, the West Zhao country is the only coastal country, the south is bordered by the south country, the west is the Chu country, the north is the nomadic country outside the Saiwai, although the West Zhao country is not big, but it is very rich, Dongyang City as a border city, it is also very rich. Due to the wealth of the Xizhao Kingdom, the military strength and civilian strength are indeed higher, so even if the Chu State is as powerful, it does not dare to attack the Xizhao Kingdom easily. Therefore, it is very safe to hide in Dongyang City, and the most important point is that the prefect of Dongyang City is the younger brother of the Cui family, and Dongyang City is also quite close to the lost Liye City, but it is separated by a few cities, and if you go to Dongyang City, you may be able to get the news of the general. After making a decision, Cui asked everyone who could ride a horse to ride a horse, and everyone who couldn't ride a horse to get into a carriage, and then set off immediately.

As the eldest daughter of the Dingguo Mansion, Cui Shi also loved to ride horses when she was young, so she tied a few knots with strips of cloth, wrapped Tang Yuehan tightly around her chest and hugged her, turned over and rode on the horse beautifully, and then asked Mu Lan to hold Tang Yuehao on her chest in the same way. Although the Song family didn't know how to ride a horse, because of the previous Cui family's guarantee, they were relieved to entrust Tang Yuelin to the Cui family, and they followed Song Mama into the carriage, and Mulian took Tang Yuelin and carried him into the carriage. When she arrived at the Wang family, the Wang family refused to let the little girl next to the Cui family hug her daughter Tang Yueqi, and the Cui family didn't bother to say anything more to her, so she was only a concubine, so she let the Wang family and Tang Yueqi sit in the carriage together.

Since the Cui family had already sent most of the belongings and other things to the Zhuangzi bought in the suburbs under a false name in advance, there were only four carriages in the fleeing procession, and the rest were all able to ride horses.

"Madam, we went out of the city from the north gate, where the old man has already bought it out, and he will not check it. The little guy who came to report the news before said that Cui's eyes were slightly red when he heard it: "It's even affecting my grandfather." With that, he sighed and rode along the fastest path to the north gate.

The exit from the city was indeed very smooth, and it was already evening, and the city gates would be closed in a few hours, and it would be safe for the time being if they escaped the pursuit of those hours. Fortunately, most of the small guys in the convoy this time are the practitioners of the General's Mansion, and their safety is guaranteed.

"Madam, the slave has returned to the Dingguo Mansion, and the old man asked the slave to give you a word, if you can go to the waterway, go to the waterway. The little servant stood in the city gate and said respectfully. Cui Shi was very moved when he heard this, most of the people on the waterway had already been taken care of by his father, nodded and stopped talking, and with red eyes, he quickly walked along the official road to Dongyang City with dozens of people from the General's Mansion.

Inside the Imperial City.

Lieutenant Zhang of the Praetorian Guard received the holy order and went to the general's mansion to raid his house, and after exiting the palace gate, he gathered his subordinates, and was very helpless. Who in the whole southern country does not know that General Tang Yihua is the most loyal, General Tang is the descendant of the eldest princess of the previous dynasty, his parents died early, he joined the army at the age of fourteen to participate in the first battle between the south and the Chu state, and he is thirty years old, but he has led the army to attack the Chu state several times to defend the border. Although it was a defeat this time, its reputation in the south was still very high, and the emperor actually said that General Tang colluded with the Chu State, which not only the people did not believe, but even most of the officials in the court did not believe it.

It's ridiculous that today's son actually listened to slander and wanted to arrest hundreds of people from the general's mansion and punish the crime together, which is really mediocre, and it is not half a star worse than the first emperor. Lieutenant Zhang couldn't bear to see such a loyal person fighting in front, but his wife and children were about to be persecuted, so when he received the holy decree, he asked someone to inform the Dingguo Mansion that General Tang's wife was the most favored eldest daughter of the Dingguo Princess, so that with the power of the Dingguo Prince, he would definitely be able to protect the lives of everyone in the General's Mansion.

Lieutenant Zhang looked at the neat team in front of him and said with a wry smile: "There is an order on the Holy Authority to arrest everyone in General Tang Yihua's mansion, and all of them will be put into the heavenly prison, and no one can be released." The little soldiers below were in an uproar when they heard this, who didn't know the prestige of General Tang, all of them admired General Tang, and now the emperor actually wanted to arrest the people in the general's mansion, which made them very angry. "I know you are all angry and don't want to believe it, but the emperor's order, we have to obey. "Lieutenant Zhang doesn't want to resist, but if he doesn't obey the order, his family and his wife and children will also be harmed, all he can do is to delay the time and let the people of the General's Mansion flee the capital as soon as possible.

When Lieutenant Zhang led people to the General's Mansion, he saw the General's Mansion with the door closed. He motioned for a soldier to come forward and knock on the door, but no one answered the door for a long time, and Lieutenant Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, presumably the people from the General's Mansion had already left. Only then did people bang on the door, pretend to go in and take a look, and then collected the troops and returned to the palace to resume their lives.

When he arrived outside the door of the imperial study, the emperor of the southern kingdom in the imperial study was looking very angry, and there was a white-haired old man kneeling at the bottom, and a little eunuch kneeling next to the old man, holding a tray in his hand, but in the tray was an official uniform and hat. This old man is the old Dingguo princess, and this audience is to resign and return to his hometown.

"Didn't the Dingguo Gonghou think that if he resigned, I would spare the people of the General's Mansion?" Emperor Cheng, the monarch of the Southern Kingdom, sat on it, very impatient, "The Dingguo Gonghou is not a good person with an old brain, and the General's Mansion is now colluding with the Chu State, I think you have been an official for decades, loyal and patriotic, so I feel that the Dingguo Gonghou is not involved in the rebellion, is it possible that the Dingguo Gonghou is now trying to tell me that you also have the intention of rebellion? Or is the Gonghou vainly trying to force me to retract the order to arrest the people in the General's Mansion by resigning from the official?" As he spoke, he threw the fold that had written his resignation and returned home to the ground.

Dingguo Gonghou is not afraid, he assisted the first emperor for decades, and then was named Dingguo Gonghou by the first emperor, this resignation is just to finally save the life of his Dingguo Mansion. The first emperor was wise in his life, and when he was forty years old, he paid a private visit, but fell in love with a civilian peasant girl, and then the peasant girl gave birth to the six princes - that is, today's son, the first emperor at that time was completely obsessed, gave up the harem of three thousand beauties, and favored one person, and even finally set up the sixth prince Xia Yuanzhao as the prince despite the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty, and also bulldozed all threats for the six princes.

The first emperor always thought that the officials opposed by the court were all because the six princes were not born well, but in fact the six princes were really not suitable to be kings, the six princes were a person who did not care about the whole world, loved to listen to flattery so that he did not distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and he liked to be happy and happy but did not do much, and it was extremely difficult to even defend the country. The sixth prince ascended the throne for only five years, because of his own selfishness several times to increase taxes, requiring strange things to be sacrificed from all over the country, but the villain is far from the virtuous ministers, the south is full of complaints, he actually ordered the complaining people to be directly arrested and beheaded, and now he directly listened to what those villains said and directly convicted General Tang. Dingguo Gong thought about this, and couldn't help sighing, it was really the Son of Heaven who was absurd and unreasonable, and the number of countries was about to end.

Lao Dingguo couldn't help but shed tears, "Your Majesty, listen to what the old minister said." The number of years is high, but I want to enjoy the joy of family in the remaining years. Lao Chen's granddaughter is already married to a wife, so she is not a person from my Dingguo Mansion. Even if she marries General Tang, the old minister will no longer care about her life and death. He kowtowed to the Son of Heaven again, and said no more respectfully. There was silence in the imperial study, and at this time, a little eunuch beside the emperor suddenly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, forgive the slave bluntly, the old man is very old, and he has been doing his best to assist the south for decades, so it is better to approve his request to return to his hometown for the sake of his hard work." ”

This little eunuch is the most trusted eunuch around Emperor Cheng, the emperor has discussed political affairs with him many times, and he told the emperor before that he felt that General Tang had an affair with Chu State, and the emperor was more convinced of this eunuch, so when he heard him say this, he also felt reasonable, so he said: "I am ready, the old Dingguo Gong will pick a time to tell the old man to return to his hometown, Rongfu, go to my treasury and pick up some good things to reward the old man." Rong Fu was the little eunuch who spoke first, and he answered and withdrew with his old man.

Lieutenant Zhang watched the old man in ordinary people's clothes slowly walk out of the palace, and before he had time to sigh, he walked into the imperial study with a panicked face, and knelt down without saying a word: "The minister has the instructions of the saint." Emperor Cheng's mood that had just calmed down suddenly became bad again, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Has anyone been caught?" "Before that, when the minister led the army to the general's mansion, his family had fled. Lieutenant Zhang knelt on the ground in fear, and his respectful appearance did inadvertently please Emperor Cheng, Emperor Cheng was an extremely conceited person, and he waved his hand to let him go down, Lieutenant Zhang exhaled in his heart and hurried home. Emperor Cheng sat alone in the imperial study until dark, and finally gave an order to let General Zhenbei personally lead people to arrest Tang Yihua and others, which is a later story.

Tang Yuehan was still in a hurry.

Cui Shi listened to the words of the old Dingguo grandfather, and planned to reach Dongyang City directly from the waterway, so he planned to go to Fenhu City, there is a big canal from Fenhu City to Dongyang City, and it will take about half a month to reach Dongyang City directly. However, in order not to attract attention, Tang Yuehan planned to borrow a merchant ship, so that even if the officers and soldiers searched, they could pretend to be the widow of the merchant and get through the customs. There is still some distance between Fenhu City in the capital, in order to get to Fenhu City as soon as possible, Cui's decided to travel overnight, because there are four cities between the capital and Fenhu City, so in addition to staying overnight in the big city, all small towns and villages can not bypass it.
