After a few more days of walking, we finally entered Shaanxi.

If before, we had been on the road far from the capital, and we didn't know anything about the war, or even feel it, after entering Shaanxi, the situation was different.

As I walked on the road, I noticed that there were more pedestrians around me.

Moreover, unlike the pedestrians who escorted goods or traveled from afar, what they saw in front of them seemed to be more of a drag family, not like a rich businessman, but some ordinary people, walking towards the southwest one after another.

Su Su looked outside with some novelty: "Why have there been more people on the road recently?" ”

Wen Hu rode a horse next to our carriage, glanced left and right, and said, "Yes, why are so many people here in Shaanxi going southwest?"

"Do they usually do the same?"

"It's not. ”

I looked at Wen Hu and frowned, as if the situation in front of me was really not quite right, and I also felt that it was not quite right - there were so many people on the official road, showing a situation of migration, which was not a normal phenomenon.

Su Su asked me, "Miss, do you know what's going on?"

I also frowned slightly: "Maybe, the situation is not quite right. ”

"What do you mean?"

Not only was she strange, but Wen Hu outside also looked at me in surprise when he heard this, and I said, "You say, if a storm is coming, what is the first thing to know?"

Su Su thought about it and immediately said, "It's a leaf!"

Wen Hu also nodded.

I shook my head: "It's not flowers and leaves, the first thing to perceive should be the birds in the nest in the trees." ”

“……”

"They are the most sensitive to danger. ”

With that, I asked Wen Hu to ask someone casually on the way, and lowered the curtain myself. Wen Hu turned over and dismounted, led the horse to the side, and patted a middle-aged man driving a cart beside him: "Big brother, inquire, why are so many of you going southwest?"

The middle-aged man glanced at him: "It's going to be a war, don't you rush to run for your life?"

"War?"

Wen Hu was surprised, not only him, but also Su Su, who was sitting in the carriage, was also shocked.

And my mood sank more and more.

Fight......

Wen Hu said: "I know, it's from Shanxi." ”

"Hmm. ”

"Have they already occupied the official yamen?"

"What's more, the news that came said that their people were ruthless, occupied the official yamen, and also controlled the army on that side, and killed all those who did not obey their orders!"

“……”

My breathing was a little strained, too.

If you guess correctly, this should be the handiwork of Lin Shenglin Gongzi in the clouds, these people have to confront the local government first, and after deciding a winner, they will control the entire Shanxi and then fight outside.

Now, the Emperor Taishang has gone to the Mansion of the Marquis of Jin, I don't know how he talked to Gongsun Shu, and whether it is possible to redeem it.

Even if it can't be undone, I pray that he won't be in danger.

Wen Hu asked again: "In this case, shouldn't they go to the capital to fight? What does it have to do with our side, why do you want to escape?" ”

"Nothing to do with us?"

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, glanced at Wen Hu again, and then said, "When they call, you will know if it has a relationship." ”

As he spoke, he drove to the front.

Wen Hu was still a little stunned, turned his head for a while, saw me raise a little curtain, frowned and looked ahead, and said, "Miss Yan, what's going on?"

I frowned, was silent for a long time, and said to him, "Brother Wen, let's not go to Xichuan yet." ”

"What?"

Both he and Su Su were shocked and hurriedly asked, "Why?"

"And where are we going?"

"Here, how far is it from Xi'an Mansion?"

"It's about two days to walk. ”

"Then we are not in a hurry to go back to Xichuan, first go to the Yamen of the Political Secretary of Xi'an Prefecture. ”

"Huh?"

"Why?"

"On the Guanzhong side, it's really going to fight, but maybe the government hasn't realized it yet. ”

“……”

"We need to be on the lookout. ”

At this moment, the confusion on Wen Hu's face deepened: "Miss Yan, our two-day delay is nothing, but this matter is really so important, do you want to go over in person?" The situation here in Guanzhong is not very clear, in case we meet them again-"

"It's really that important," I said with a solemn face: "If Guanzhong really fights, I'm afraid that the entire Central Plains will be taken advantage of." ”

Hearing me say this, Wen Hu seemed to understand something, he calmed down, hurriedly raised his hand, and waved back and forth: "Stop, stop!"

Immediately, the whole team stopped, and he ordered: "Don't go to Xichuan first, let's change the route and go to Xi'an Mansion!"

"Xi'an Mansion?"

"Why go there?"

……

His subordinates were in an uproar, although everyone was surprised, but no one objected, and I was still a little worried about how to explain to the people of the shadow guard, who knew that those people were not even in an uproar, after Wen Hu sent someone to explain to them, they immediately received their orders.

These are good shadow guards, who only carry out the master's orders, and do not ask, or even think.

I think that Pei Yuanhao's order to them is to escort me, not to escort me to Xichuan, so how to use them is all up to me.

Thinking of this, my heart is more confident, seeing that the fork in the road in front of me has arrived, our convoy turned around and headed towards Xi'an.

|

Although it only took two days to arrive in Xi'an, in order not to delay too much of the trip, Wenhu still asked them to hurry up, and by the morning of the third day, we had already entered the city.

In the early morning, Su Su was so sleepy that she yawned, and Zhao Shuyuan was still curled up in the corner and couldn't wake up.

I didn't have a good rest in the past two days, but I was still in good spirits, opened the curtain, and looked at the road ahead.

Su Su has always had doubts in her heart, and at this time, she finally couldn't help but ask me: "Miss, what is the big deal, we must rush here." ”

I said, "We're here to help." ”

"Help?"

She was more and more puzzled, and our carriage had already opened the main road to Guò, all the way to the entrance of the palace.

Along the way, I also saw a lot of people dragging their belongings to the outside of the city, although not to ten rooms and nine empty, but can clearly feel that the people's hearts are scattered, many pedestrians on the road meet, discuss the things of the war, and some rice lines at the door, there has been a queue crowding.

Fortunately, there are still some officials who are dealing with it in a timely manner, so there is no chaos.

The carriage stopped.

Wen Hu walked to the window and asked me in a low voice what to do, I lifted the curtain and looked, and saw the gate of the government in front of me, the stone lions on both sides were not standing, and there were four officials guarding the door.

I said, "Brother Wen, what seal of the emperor do you have on your body?"

He thought for a moment and said, "Is there a Praetorian Guard, is it available?"

"It's okay, you can go in with a sign and ask to see the adults inside, and say that I have something important to tell them. ”

"Okay, I'll go. ”

After speaking, he walked over with the knife at his waist, originally our carriage stopped here, it attracted the attention of some people, and immediately two ran up to ask, Wen Hu showed them his own brand, the two people looked at him with some surprise, and then looked at our carriage, and hurriedly ran in to report.

After a while, several people came out of it.

I recognize other people, but the middle-aged official in the middle wearing an official robe, who is white and pure, looks very bookish, and I am a little familiar with it -- it is Gao Tianzhang of the Department of Economic Affairs.

He actually came to Shaanxi!

I was still a little stunned, but he had already walked straight to the side of the carriage and whispered to the window, "Miss Yan, why did you get here?" ”

I didn't have time to get out of the car to salute him, so I could only smile apologetically: "Why did Lord Gao come out in person." ”

As I spoke, I moved out, Wen Hu and Su Su helped me out of the carriage, Gao Tianzhang had already walked in front of me, and said again: "Why did you come here?"

Before, he and Huo Liancheng, as well as Qi Fang, they often ran to Jixian Palace, I also met him a few times when I was serving as Jixian Zhengzi, I was not familiar, but there were some contacts, I saluted him, and then said: "I didn't expect that Master Gao came to Shaanxi." ”

He said: "Because before, there were many changes in Shaanxi, and the emperor temporarily sent me over. ”

"That's ......"

I nodded, and he looked at me again, at the people around me, and made a gesture: "Let's go in first." ”

I turned around and instructed Wen Hu to find two people to look at Zhao Shuyuan in the carriage, and then walked in with a few of them. The government here is magnificent and magnificent, it seems to be built directly on the basis of the government of the previous dynasty, quite ancient, if it is in normal times, I will definitely walk around, but at this time I am not in the mood at all, followed Gao Tianzhang and several of his subordinates into the hall, he took us to the lobby, as soon as I sat down, I said: "Lord Gao, you are in great trouble!"

……

As soon as these words came out, the entire lobby fell silent.

After a while, someone frowned: "What is this?"

Gao Tianzhang's face was solemn, and he said, "Miss Yan's words are inevitably a bit alarmist. This official knows that now Yunzhong Runan has always raised troops, and Xi'an Mansion is close to the battle line, but it is not enough to say that we are in a catastrophe. ”

I shook my head: "I say this because it's true. Lord Gao, what do you think the Yunzhong Lin clan will do after occupying the government and seizing military power. ”

He said: "I have discussed with several Zhensi and Zhentai, and they naturally want to send troops to the capital. ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"Just wait for the emperor's will, let us do what we do, we will do it. ”

I shook my head: "I'm afraid you can't wait for the emperor's will." ”

He frowned, "What do you mean?"

I said: "Lin Sheng and they occupied the government office in Shanxi and seized the military power, and the first thing they want to fight is not the capital, but you." ”
