Chapter Thirty-Six: The City Gate Crashes
It was impossible for them not to notice the similarly masked stranger next to them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
So much of their possessions must have to be pulled away by a carriage, and the target of the carriage is very conspicuous at night, and it is very likely that it will be discovered.
Zipei followed closely behind their carriage, and it was obvious that a carriage was heavily loaded, and the wheels were made of hard special wood, which was very deep for the gravel road on the street, and from a distance it seemed that there was a deep car mark pressed on the gravel road. The government could have smashed their lair by following the ruts, but they should have noticed this, and two of them were responsible for erasing the traces in the back, but the ruts were still clearly recognizable due to their haste.
There were more than a group of soldiers patrolling the streets, and it was clear that they had mastered the rules of the patrolling soldiers, and they avoided those patrols in an orderly manner.
This street has not changed, the road is still the same road, the inspectors are still those inspectors, but the mood is different, now I feel that they are actually quite difficult, although they always complete their work step by step, their responsibility is quite large.
I don't feel like it's an eyesore to see them when I'm fine, but tonight, they keep appearing, which is really a bit shocking.
Luckily, they regularly run into an alley to avoid them.
They must have been carefully scouted and trained more than once at night, otherwise the accuracy of time would not have been so masterful.
But there will be a mistake in the hundred, and there are obviously a few more waves of inspectors tonight.
The usual inspections are routine, and tonight is not simple, and these official errands have only increased now.
What's going on in this capital?
They are a little far away from Uncle Guo's house, and it is obvious that these officials are not coming for Uncle Guo's house!
A fence was erected at the fork in the street ahead.
At the fork, the lights are bright, and it shines as if it were daytime; On both sides of the street stood two neat and energetic groups of officers and soldiers, and by the fence stood a few soldiers in different clothes who were ready to check and deal with emergencies.
Far away they could see the lights ahead, which stood out so much on such a dark, silent night, that even the bright moonlight became very faint.
They hastily stopped the carriage, but fortunately the hooves were already wrapped thickly, but the sound of the carriage shaking was noticeable.
"Who?" A small group of soldiers immediately noticed this unusual sound, and they rushed to it, and the torches in their hands immediately illuminated the surroundings.
Their carriage appeared in front of them.
The two sides immediately fell into a tense standoff, and the slightest fluctuation in emotions made clashes inevitable.
These officers and soldiers had already divided their forces to surround them.
Their outfits, however, imply something.
A few veiled girls in night clothes drove a carriage with thick cushions on horseshoe pads and walked quietly down the street, and fools knew what they were doing!
Zipei is powerless in the face of this uncontrollable situation, and resistance in this situation is meaningless and worthless. Both sides are quietly waiting for the other to compromise.
The nerves of the guards on both sides are also very tense, and any small action that is easy to misunderstand will lead to unexpected consequences.
For a moment, there was silence on both sides, and the advantage of the soldiers with torches was very obvious, and their momentum grew stronger with time.
The palace master suddenly lost her mind in the face of this sudden incident, she looked at the soldiers who were surrounding her, she felt that these soldiers were less majestic and more kind. This gave the palace master's nervous heart a hint of comfort.
All this, Zipei, who is a little far away from them, doesn't know these details. He only sensed that these soldiers tonight were very strange.
Zipei decided to quietly move closer to them, hoping to find a good opportunity from the slightest negligence.
At the same time, there happened to be another obscene figure huddled in a dark corner, and he had a full view of everything.
The tension between the two sides of the conflict remained the same, but as the soldiers got closer, the closer they could see each other, and slowly, the hands of those soldiers relaxed, and the hands holding the hilt of the swords hung down.
A tall and handsome young man walked out from the side.
His presence softened the whole situation.
"Put the knife down! Blind your dogs, you don't know the palace master anymore. When I get back, I'll punish you again!" ”
Although these words were very low, the people around him, Zipei and the person hiding in the shadows, heard these words very clearly.
The palace master was dressed in night clothes, but these "soldiers" did not know what the actions of the night were when they left, and the palace master's actions were also top secret, so the initial scene was understandable; However, they were harshly reprimanded, and they didn't feel very frightened, because of the bodhisattva-like heart of their palace master.
"Subordinates, see the palace master!" The "officers" who had been disgraced by these "soldiers" hurried over and knelt down beside the palace master. It seems that he has great respect for the palace master. The surrounding soldiers wanted to salute, but they were stopped by the palace master with their hands. She was stumbling about something.
"Who asked you to come here! You useless things! If you frighten the palace master, see how I clean you up when I go back!" …… But do you know how dangerous it can be? The woman next to the palace master scolded him, but from the words that followed, he could hear that he cared more than blamed.
In fact, as long as the discerning people think that they are doing this tonight, it means that there are no three hundred taels of silver here.
"The subordinates are worried about the safety of the palace master. After we are safe in a while, we will let the palace master deal with it, and there will be no complaints! ”
It was originally a very ingenious layout, but when he stirred it up like this, it was boring. And is this subordinate just worried about her safety? And not out of selfishness?
Although Zipei didn't hear it very clearly, the basic situation was clear.
His worries were unwarranted.
The princess and the palace lord are homonyms, is she the palace lord or the princess? Probably the palace master. There are many such armed forces among the people, and their relationship with the imperial court is very delicate. And many of them are local organizations raised by certain warlords, which are very secretive, and their strength is generally not very strong. It was not necessarily against the imperial court.
They quickly removed the cushions from the horses' hooves, and the girls changed their night clothes.
Zipei soon heard a little panicked noise, and immediately spotted a person with a strong smell of alcohol hidden in a nearby corner. He was in a trance, and he only found out when Zipei came to his side.
The thick smell of wine around him wafted in all directions.
Zipei didn't kill him, but just lifted him up who had collapsed to the ground.
"Say, what are you doing here?" An unsheathed sword lay across his neck, and Zipei just wanted to scare him, pressing the back of the knife against his neck.
"Wine, I want to drink!" He's still pretending! Because of the smell of urine wafting from his body, a very strong smell.
"You're still pretending! Believe it or not, I killed you! In fact, even Zipei himself felt a little funny, since he said such things, he naturally wouldn't kill him, he just wanted to scare him.
His body kept shaking, and suddenly his body trembled sharply, probably his body's endocrine system excreted all the liquid turbidity.
He was really frightened. The smell of urine on his body was terrible, and I put him down, and I really felt like vomiting, but I suppressed it.
"What do they do?"
"I don't know, it's just some rumors that there is a sect headed by a woman in the rivers and lakes, called Cuiwei Palace, and the head of the house is still a woman!"
In fact, he saw that Zipei was not so terrible, and the courage that was frightened in an instant was relieved again.
"A good man spares his life! Hero ......" his tone was much calmer.
"I want you to rot everything you saw tonight in your stomach. I know you very well. If anything happens, I'll kill your whole family. ”
Zipei and the two were in the dark, and they didn't seem to see them.
The carriage swaggered and was escorted by the majestic "soldiers", and slowly drove to the city gates, ready to leave the city.
It was late at night, and the gates were closed.
As usual, they had to show their waist cards, and the palace master quickly took out a palm-sized piece of gold from his waist.
The waist card was quickly handed to the guard, who looked at it carefully, and then showed it to an officer next to him, who said to the guard, "This thing is a thing in the palace, it is rare, and I have seen it for the first time. ”
The officer didn't dare to come forward, and the guard didn't dare to make a mistake, but he just looked next to the sedan chair and didn't dare to ask more. The serious and disdainful expression on the face of the guard next to the sedan chair frightened him and quickly shrank back.
"What's going on out there? After not being allowed to leave the city for so long, and delaying the princess's affairs, you go and ask them if they can afford it? ”
The guards outside heard the deliberately raised "rise", so they quickly knelt down.
"Princess, please spare the little life!" The knife of the other guard next to him was already on the neck of the guard next to the sedan chair. Obviously, if you cut him down, you can be promoted to the next level, what a beautiful thing.
And the guards were so frightened that they hurriedly asked the officers to open the city gate.
The door slowly opened, and the guard kneeling next to the palanquin stood up, and the guard standing next to him put away his knife.
They slowly drove out of Chang'an City. Their luck was really good, the captain of the gate went out.
However, the words "such as my own presence" cannot be faked!
