Chapter 125: Return
The house here is inhabited by the mausoleum keepers, which is not very comfortable, and the two lamps lit in the room are also dim, and the doors and windows are closed and cramped.
Song Yuan stretched out his hand to untie his clothes, as if he could catch his breath in this way, and said, "Sure enough, was it won by the Five Worm Army?"
Qi Xiu's face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot: "The palace gate was open when we came in, and it didn't seem to have collapsed and shaken open. ”
Duan Shan said: "Of course not, the other doors and windows are intact, and even the figurines in the corners of the hall are not damaged in the slightest, so the door of this hall can only be pushed open." ”
Qi Xiu frowned and said, "The coffin lid is so heavy, it can only be pushed open by a dozen of us... How many people are coming in?"
Duan Shan said: "That's not necessarily, what if the coffin also has a mechanism that we don't know about?"
There are many organs in the imperial mausoleum, except for the funeral craftsmen who built the imperial mausoleum, only people with the blood of the Son of Heaven know, especially the next Emperor Baozhang who is the Son of Heaven...
Qi Xiu said: "Emperor Baozhang is really alive.... She came in, yes, who else could open the dungeon so quietly and so quietly. ”
Song Yuan didn't follow the guess and analysis, only rubbed his hands and muttered: "It's over, it's over." His face turned pale, "I didn't catch it, the dungeon was also entered, and the things were robbed..... This trip is to make a wedding dress for someone else, what face do you have to go back to see your grandfather?"
Originally, I thought that the five beetle army did not succeed, but only caused a lot of ground trouble, and they could also take this opportunity to dig out the queen's coffin and look for it brightly, but they didn't expect that it was them who were busy in vain.
Qin Tan Gong is still waiting in the capital, how to explain?
Song Yuan was in a panic in the house, Qi Xiu was gloomy, and Duan Shan was still ...... It's not his job, so it's not a concern.
Duan Shan said: "But it doesn't necessarily mean that they got the jade seal." ”
Song Yuan and Qi Xiu immediately looked at him in unison, is there evidence?
Duan Shan said: "No, I mean I only saw that someone turned over the queen's bones, which can be confirmed, but whether there is a jade seal in the bones cannot be confirmed, so it is also possible that they turned over and didn't find it, and the jade seal is not here." ”
Qi Xiu and Song Yuan sneered.
"It's better to believe what you have than what you don't. Qi Xiudao, "The current conclusion is only yes and no, half to half. ”
Song Yuan said: "Of course we can't deceive ourselves and think that there is none. Saying that, he raised his foot and kicked the ground hatefully, "I'm really angry." ”
The ground didn't kick, and he knocked down the table leg next to him, but he hissed and inhaled in pain, and his annoyance was even worse.
"Someone, someone." He shouted.
Qi Xiu was also annoyed and shouted, "What are you doing?"
Song Yuan said: "What else can you do, arrest people, snatch them back!" He hurriedly shook his sleeves outward, looking like crazy, "What if you rob the jade seal, kill them all!"
The matter is unfavorable, losing the trust and blessing of Qin Tangong, Song Yuan is nothing, go crazy, Qi Xiu ridiculed and gloated at Song Yuan this time, he will not have a good end in this matter, his face was full of anxiety, and said: "How is it good... How are they going to stay when they get the jade seal?"
Duan Shan said: "I will probably go to the capital." ”
Yes, there is an emperor, enter the underground palace, take the jade seal, everything can prove the identity..... Of course, he had to go to the capital with all his heart and tell the world, Qi Xiu also flicked his sleeves: "Cut off all the roads leading to the capital!"
The door was closed, the night wind was whistling, the dim lights were jumping, and the noisy noise outside rushed in, and then shook and dispersed, and only Duan Shan frowned slightly.
"Half and half. He said, "If they don't find the jade seal, will they also suspect that this is still a trap?
The wind crackled the door again, and the horses' hooves roared in the wind, and the gathering of the black-armored guards rolled away like thunder..... Such a frantic pursuit and interception undoubtedly told the Five Worm Army that they had not found the jade seal.
Duan Shan shook his head, then there was no need for this plan, he took a step behind with his hands, and suddenly stopped, the wooden door opened and closed, the fire outside flickered and dimmed, and Duan Shan's face flickered and dimmed.
Silently and quickly open the tomb can only be the emperor, the emperor.... Duan Shan stretched out his hand and gently calculated, now he is a fourteen-year-old.... Girl.
Silent.... They are already familiar with the Five Worm Army, and they are strictly guarded to fight and encircle, and it is impossible to cross the defensive line, but if it is not the Five Worm Army, if Emperor Ji is not in the Five Worm Army, is it possible to sneak in silently.....
If she is not in the Five Beetle Army, then where is she?
Duan Shan looked ahead, and the night was dark above the firelight, covering the sky and earth in the distance.
Huangsha Dao City.
"Someone. ”
Duan Shan strode out.
.....
.....
In the tent, Xue Qing opened his eyes suddenly, holding the iron bar on his side with one hand, and a familiar voice came at the same time.
"Young Master Qingzi. ”
Xue Qing lifted the tent and looked at the hazy figure in the night when he couldn't see his five fingers on the fifth watch.
"Is there any news?" Xue Qing asked, got up, and looked at Guo Zi'an on the bed next to him who was still sleeping soundly... It's so easy and fast to get in touch with that adult.
Du said: "It's not the news from the adults over there, but the black armor guard is crazy... They had been tempted before, but now they are fighting for their lives and ignoring it. ”
Xue Qing sighed and said, "Then it seems that they didn't get the jade seal, and they thought we took it." ”
Du nodded: "It should be like this.... Isn't the jade seal in the dungeon?"
"I'm not sure about that, because I didn't push the coffin open. Xue Qing said, "But they must have checked, judging from their reactions..... Still can't be sure. ”
Uh-huh, Du didn't speak, looked at her.
Xue Qing said: "Either they didn't, or they deliberately confused us, making us think that they didn't get it either." ”
Du nodded: "Young Master Qingzi is thoughtful. ”
Xue Qing said: "Although we don't know if the other party has it, but we know that we don't, we know what to do, we know what to do, what we have to do is not to fight to the death with them, but for the sake of the jade seal, so the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase.... Now it's time for us to retreat. ”
After a moment of silence, he said, "Yes." ”
Xue Qing said: "We will meet again in Chang'an Mansion, during this period, you have to avoid its edge and wait and see its changes, as well as those adults in the capital, you must use it, whether they are credible or not, even if it is untrustworthy news, it is also news, and you can find useful information from it." ”
Du replied again, smiled slightly, and said, "In short, don't take the initiative to fight for their lives, right?"
Xue Qing also smiled and said, "Compared with the heroic death, the heroism of life is more meaningful." ”
Du said: "Did the sage say it?"
Xue Qing said: "Yes." "No hesitation.
Outside the window, there was the chirping of wild birds, and he listened attentively and said, "There are black guards who have entered the city, and it seems that they have indeed done everything to track them down." Look at Xue Qing again, "Let's go first." ”
Xue Qing nodded and said, "Goodbye to Chang'an Mansion." Thinking about it again, "That kid... It also happens to follow you to see and learn. ”
Du smiled and said, "Don't worry." ”
Xue Qing said: "Go ahead." ”
Du bowed his head: "Yes." Without further words, he got up and disappeared into the night.
Xue Qing stood quietly in the room for a moment, slowly retreated to the side of the bed, and then fell on his back, falling into the soft futon that Guo Zi'an and Liu Chunyang had covered with five or six layers.
It took a lot of effort to persuade this man not to kill the jade seal with a big reason.... And he seems to have seen through it a little.
Whatever, Xue Qing stretched out his hand to pull the quilt to cover his head and face, escape, go, go home.
The night is long, and I sleep soundly and sleep without dreams.
The inn was full of people, horses neighed, and noisy conversations continued, and many candidates wore their hair and mixed up.
"Didn't you say that you left at noon today, why did you drink after you came back?
The scribe stood in the courtyard and scolded angrily.
"Look at you, look at you... How do you start like this?"
Zhang Shuangtong ran over wearing only dirty clothes, fished out a coat from the schoolboy's luggage, and turned around and said, "My lord, you can also start this way... It's not to go to the sacrifice. Sure enough, he reached out and climbed into the car, and he didn't even wear his coat.
With his appearance, several young people climbed into the car like this, and some people carried unfinished meals.
"Man, bring me two more pounds of meat. ”
I was really going to be angry with these young people, the scribe glared, and turned his head to see that Xue Qing was also running upside down... The clothes are neat.
"Why, you haven't eaten yet?" he said.
Xue Qing stood still and said, "After eating, the luggage has been packed and loaded, I'll go to the room again to see if there's anything missing." ”
That's right, the clerk nodded with satisfaction, felt that the stuffiness was swept away, and said, "Go ahead." "Don't worry, Mr. Qingxia is leaving late, and he wants to go to the capital with the adults, so please bring it with him if there is anything missing." ”
Xue Qing said: "How can you trouble Mr. I should have packed it up. He smiled again, "It's a little reluctant." ”
The scribe laughed and waved his hand at Xue Qing to go.
After a noisy and busy afternoon, the carriages of the candidates from Chang'an Mansion drove out of the inn, and the owner and men of the inn came out to see each other off, looking reluctant and stunned.
"Gentlemen, you have a chance to come back to us. They waved their hands, but they also knew in their hearts that it would be almost impossible for most of these people to come here again in this life.....
Horse-drawn carriages poured out from other parts of the street, everyone changed their suits, and the carriages and horses were piled with luggage, and the chatter and laughter set off a stir in the street, but with the movement it also took the excitement away.
The people on the street looked at each other with complicated expressions.
"The candidates are gone, and so are the Queen Mother and the Emperor... We're left with nothing in Huangsha Road. ”
"Then we won't be at the feet of the Son of Heaven in the future."
"Without the queen mother and the emperor's Huangsha Road, what is the Huangsha Road? ”
The people sighed a little.
But I have forgotten why the queen mother and the emperor stayed in Huangsha Dao, and I can't remember that the existence of Huangsha Dao was far before the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Xue Qing sighed lightly, the past has become a story, and what does the matter in the story have to do with everyone.
The sound of horses' hooves resounded in the streets, adding to the chaos of the crowded streets.
Xue Qing stood beside the car and looked over, and saw that it was a team of black-armored guards galloping, but did not go over, but entered the shops and mansions one by one, and there were chickens and dogs jumping inside.
"What's going on?"
The people on the street were also surprised and asked in panic.
"Won't the queen be gone, just lock us up?"
"Didn't you say that the evil spirit has been eliminated?"
Soon news came to reassure everyone.
"Catch the murderer. ”
"It's still the murderer from last time.... I didn't catch it. ”
"Door-to-door checks.... Candidates will not be affected after the test. ”
Did you guess that the emperor was hiding in the city, and not with the Five Worm Army? That was really powerful, Xue Qing said in his heart, and a hand fell on her shoulder.
"Sanshiro, let's walk out of the city, we can go faster. Zhang Shuangtong said.
Xue Qing responded and followed him, Guo Zi'an, Liu Chunyang, Pang An, Pei Yanzi and others saw it and followed, and the group walked through the street people pointing and pointing, and walked forward past the black armor guards who were visiting in the cold.
Zhang Shuangtong looked around and sighed: "Now that I don't need to take the exam, my mind is free, I can take a good look at the scenery of this Huangsha Road." ”
When I didn't see you idle in the exam, Pang Anxin thought about it, thought of the scenery, and thought of something.
"The Queen's Mausoleum is going to be moved, and that big yellow tooth's business is probably gone. He said.
When the words fell, Pei Yanzi patted him on the shoulder and pointed forward.
What the?
By this time they had reached the city gate, and in front of them stood a group of people, and one of them, who was surrounded by a fan, could not see it, but saw a fan raised high.
“... Ladies and gentlemen, we have to say that our Wong Sha Dao is really an unusual place.... The queen mother has appeared twice..."The fan pointed to the outside of the city gate, "Everyone come with me to see the old land of Huangsha Road..."
The crowd followed him out of the city.
Zhang Shuangtong snorted and said, "Interesting." "Greet everyone and follow.
The city gate was replaced by the forbidden army to defend the city, although the city was searching, but it was not particularly strict for entering and leaving the city, and only then did I go out of the city and hear the sound of vibration in the distance like thunder rolling in the sky.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Big Yellow Tooth held a fan and shouted, "It's not the ground moving or thundering, it's the imperial court asking the queen mother and Emperor Baozhang to drive back to Beijing." ”
The crowd talked about it, the matter about the queen's mausoleum had spread, the children of the saints gathered for the grand event, His Majesty's filial piety and the government of the Ming Dynasty felt the sky, the queen's spirit, the yellow sand road moved, and the evil spirits were eliminated.
But....
"The Queen's Mausoleum is about to be moved, and the evil spirits are gone, so what else do you want to see when you go to the old land of Huangsha Road?"
"yes, there's nothing. ”
The crowd rang out to question.
Big Yellow Fang closed the fan, patted it, and said, "How can it be called nothing? Since it happened and it will exist forever, you don't want to see what the old land of Huangsha Road looks like, what the remains of the ghost whip are like, and... Survivors of Wong Sha Dao. He reached out and pointed to the side.
Everyone looked in amazement and saw a little girl standing on the side of the road, blinking at them.
"This child was born and grew up in the old land of Wong Sha Dao. Big Yellow Tooth said, walking up to the child, "Xiaorong, you let everyone see." ”
Xiao Rong lifted the corners of his pants, exposing his ankles, which had a deep strangulation mark on them, and the skin and flesh were deformed.
The crowd roared around.
“... This is the trace left by the ghost whip back then.... This chain, which becomes fat and thin with age... Big or small..."
Big Yellowfang's voice came loudly.
Pei Yanzi said: "In fact, it is the official craftsmen who regularly check and change the tightness. ”
Zhang Shuangtong laughed: "This big yellow tooth can really make up anything... And even brought such a child. ”
"The benefits. Pang An sighed.
For Xiao Rong, it is profitable for Big Yellow Tooth to promise benefits, and for the imperial court, it is also profitable to keep this legend, Xue Qing looked ahead, and the crowd surrounded Big Yellow Tooth and Xiao Rong.
“... How did you survive?"
“... I don't know, we've all been in a daze... As if I wasn't myself..."
“... Ladies and gentlemen, there is a reason for this, these people are possessed by evil spirits, and they have no nature of their own, so they can't remember the past.... When the queen mother dispelled the evil spirits, they were also released from the new life..."
"I see..."
"Over there is a place where evil spirits are imprisoned... Further afield... It's the Queen's Mausoleum... Of course, I can't go there to see it yet, and at this time, the coffins of the Empress and Emperor Baozhang are preparing to return to Beijing.... Everybody come with me..."
Xue Qing and the others stood on the side of the road and watched Big Yellow Fang lead a group of people towards the wilderness, just like before.
"It seems that he will not starve to death for a while. Zhang Shuangtong smiled, "I'm too worried." ”
The chariots and horses of everyone in the city also followed, and the scribe who led the team in front beckoned them to get into the car.
"We have to rush to the post station in the evening to settle down, and we should not delay any longer, otherwise we will spend the night in the field. ”
The teenagers got into the car giggling, Guo Zi'an and Xue Qing got into the car, watching Qi swishing and whipping, the carriage moving forward, the late autumn wind lifted the curtain, Xue Qing saw that the little girl on the side of the road was still standing on the side of the road, her expression seemed to be a little dazed, she looked left and right from time to time, and went to the tea shed on the side of the road to inquire about something, and the people in the tea shed shook their heads and waved their hands impatiently..... is asking about Huang Ju, that day this little girl specially came to persuade Huang Ju to go to the Salesian Bureau, she is a child who is good with Huang Ju.
Xue Qing looked at the little girl, her face was full of worry, and she seemed to notice something and suddenly looked over.... But he wasn't sure what it was, and he looked at the beautiful carriages in a daze, with well-dressed people laughing, or holding teacups, and books in their hands..... It's carefree.
The worry on Xiao Rong's face dissipated, and his eyes were bright staring at these carefree people who could live a good life one by one in front of him, the sun was bright, the yellow sand was everywhere, and the carriage gradually disappeared and disappeared.
