CHAPTER XXV
Yue Xi grabbed Ye Miancheng's sleeve and ran quickly towards the open area in front of Du Sanniang's grave, her movements were fast, her speech was urgent, and she was in a posture of trying her best to escape!
Han Chunyang didn't expect that she was scolding at herself one moment, and the next moment she had already run out of the distance, and when she saw that she was on the edge of the mountain, he snorted coldly and threw away the torch in his hand, and used ten percent of his strength to rush over like a night owl: "Want to run?" ”
Who would have thought of the cliff edge, but Yue Xi pulled Ye Miancheng to the side and flashed to the side, and before the two of them could stand still, they saw a figure on their side rushing over with a 'whoosh......
Han Chunyang's tricks had been used to the fullest, and there was no room for relaxation, so he watched the two people who were obviously about to jump off the cliff and escape staggered to the side, and his hand was about to touch Yue Xi's clothes but he was empty......
As soon as Qi Qi was in the electric light, Han Chunyang had already rushed out from the side of the mountain, and without the support of the land under his feet, he hurriedly turned his head, and saw Yue Xi, who was holding the torch, with a gloating smile in his eyes, and stuck out his tongue at him: "Silly ×!" ”
The two soldiers who trotted and chased their master to the edge of the cliff watched Han Chunyang jump down, and the two of them stood on the edge of the cliff collectively dumbfounded, looking down at the dark ink-like scene under their feet, where is there still Han Chunyang's shadow?
The two soldiers were so frightened that they took a step back at the same time, and then, almost at the same time, they felt a pain in their heads and their eyes went black, and they fainted to the ground.
"Pick up the torch!" Yue Xi whispered to Ye Miancheng, who was a little confused: "Don't let it go out!" ”
"Oooh!" Ye Miancheng staggered and walked over with garlic under his feet, bent down and picked up the torch that Han Chunyang had thrown away, raised it, and turned around again, Yue Xi had already thrown the two soldiers who had been knocked unconscious by her down the side of the mountain.
"General Zhaoyi won't fall to his death, will he?!" As soon as he thought that the person who fell was General Zhaoyi of Dazhao, Ye Miancheng felt his liver tremble, and he walked to Yue Xi's side like garlic under his feet and asked cautiously.
"Hey, hey!" Yue Xi laughed like a fox, pointed to the place under his feet where he couldn't see anything clearly, and whispered: "IQ is a hard injury, otherwise how can I say that he is a fool!" ”
"Look at it, I don't know what the situation is down here, so I jump down, it's not a madman or a fool's behavior, Lao Tzu wants to escape, that's true, but Lao Tzu can't commit it and fall half to death before he escapes, right? This man didn't know how much he wanted to kill me, but he didn't even move his brain! ”
"Huh!" Ye Miancheng, who had eased up a little, felt ridiculous when he thought about it, he stretched his neck and looked down, and then asked in a low voice, "Then what should we do?" ”
"Hey, hey!" Yue Xi smiled at Ye Miancheng with bad intentions: "Lord Ye, I'm really sorry for you!" I'm afraid that your dream of going up to the mountain to be a bandit with me will come true ahead of schedule! ”
"......" Ye Miancheng smiled bitterly, but he was not surprised: "Then, I have to bring my master." ”
"What is your master, Ye Qiu has long abandoned the darkness and turned into my family's account room." Yue Xi walked to the edge of the cliff as he spoke, found a stone crack and inserted the torch into it, turned around and inserted the torch in Ye Miancheng's hand into the crack not far away: "Let's go, the mountain is full of soldiers on horseback, we can only escape to the mountain, go in the direction of the palace, and we will think about it when we get there." ”
Yue Xi had already walked towards the trail as he spoke: "It's a pity, my donkey treasure is still at the bottom of the mountain......
"Hey, son-in-law, let's just go like this?" Ye Miancheng stood still and didn't move, he asked anxiously: "This mountain road is not far away, and there is still a long way to the palace, why don't you take a torch?" ”
"The soldiers down the hill can't see what we're doing here. The reason why they can stay still at the bottom of the mountain is because of these two torches, and if you run up the mountain with the torches, the soldiers below the mountain will see it at a glance. How else do we escape? Yue Xi stood up and whispered, "You follow me." ”
"That's what you say, why didn't I think of this!" Ye Miancheng approached Yuexi in a few steps, and said busily.
Yue Xi didn't speak, but bent down and folded a long thorn from the side of the road and handed it to him: "Sweep it to your feet as you walk, there are snakes ...... on the mountain."
The two of them walked up the mountain one after the other, and sure enough, as Ye Miancheng said, the mountain road didn't go far before it came to an end.
There is the palace of the Jokhang royal family on Huagai Mountain, where the mountains and forests are uniformly requisitioned by the royal family, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach at will, so most of these mountain trails are only one or two miles to the mountain and do not extend, and the people under the mountain go up the mountain to pick up some firewood or dig some medicinal herbs and wild vegetables and other things to step on.
"Son-in-law, we won't go in the wrong direction, right?" After estimating that he had walked for more than half an hour, Ye Miancheng asked with a sigh of relief.
"No, it won't." Yue Xi looked up at the night sky and explained: "There are many suns, moons and stars in the sky that can help us discern the direction, as long as we recognize it, we will never go wrong." ”
"Ordinary people can look at the sun and distinguish the direction, but it takes experience to see the stars and the moon, so I wondered. Son-in-law, where did you get this experience? ”
Standing in place for a while, Ye Miancheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, he now admires Yue Xi so much that he is almost throwing himself to the ground, and he feels more and more that Yue Xi is not a man, but it's a pity!
"Foolish." Yue Xi listened to his breathing gradually equalize, so he walked forward again, and did not forget to talk nonsense: "I pondered these things every day when I had nothing to do in the palace, and I became familiar with them after a long time. ”
"Oh......" Ye Miancheng nodded thoughtfully: "Gongzi Yue is really a master, and he is different from what ordinary people like me think......"
"Oh? Then Lord Ye, what are you thinking about when you see the sky? Yue Xi's eyes were fixed on the situation in front of him, not daring to be a little sloppy, and he just asked casually.
"Me...... Hey! Ye Miancheng suddenly became shy, and he lowered his voice as if he was afraid that someone would overhear
The voice only said as if he was afraid of being overheard: "I wonder every day how to trick the master into the bed!" Gongzi Yue, don't you know wow, my master's temperament is awkward...... I was touched by him three or twice a month! ”
"......" Yue Xi looked up at the vast night sky with an expressionless face, and finally endured the thought of kicking the color embryo that plagued Ye Qiu behind him down the mountain.
……
When the sky was about to dawn, the large palace built by the mountain finally appeared in the sight of Yue Xi and Ye Miancheng, and the two of them let out a long breath at the same time.
"Is there still an officer and soldier guarding the palace now?" Yue Xi raised his hand to wipe the fine sweat on his forehead, and turned around and asked.
"Yes. It's not just ...... Officers and soldiers, and ...... And a few of the officials in my yamen are also on errands up there......"
After almost a night of rapid travel, Ye Miancheng's tired legs trembled, and he spoke like a bellows, and he said a word intermittently.
On the contrary, looking at the thin and weak Yue Xi, except for the slightly heavy breathing, he could hardly see how she was different from usual.
"Do your men have chariots and horses?" Yue Xi asked.
"No ......" Ye Miancheng paused before continuing: "Cixian is a small county, although it is close to the imperial capital, it is a poor place, my county government is only so many people, the chariots and horses equipped by the imperial court are the ones I sit in, and there are no extra vehicles for the servants to use." ”
"Hmm." Yue Xi nodded slightly, and still walked towards the stone steps to the palace: "Let's talk about it when I go up." ”
"Mother, they're all waiting for you!" Now that he is here, there is a way to go up and down, Ye Miancheng suddenly remembered Yue Xi's identity, and he grabbed her.
"Who else on this mountain knows me but you?" Yue Xi turned his head and said with a smile: "You just keep your mouth shut!" ”
"Yes!" With the faint light of the sky, Ye Miancheng saw Yue Xi's dusty face and smiled: "With your current appearance, who can see that you are a woman!" ”
Yue Xi looked up at the sky that had gradually brightened again, and still wanted to kick the thing behind him down the mountain!
……
The gate of the palace was wide open, which surprised Yue Xi, who had just climbed up the stone steps.
Didn't you say that there were guards, why didn't there even be a soldier standing guard?
"When a monk hits the clock for a day, these people who eat military rations are also messing around." Ye Miancheng, who then climbed up, looked at the situation in front of the palace gate and sighed: "It turns out that Dazhao has to get by like me, and there are not a few people who are perfunctory!" Jokhang...... Alas......"
Yue Xi glanced at him and walked towards the door.
Ye Miancheng is right, if there are more people like him, it will become an empty shelf, and a country that may be huge in the eyes of other countries has long since decayed into a skeleton and is vulnerable!
Yingsu, do you know that the Jokhang under your rule is already in danger...... Yue Xi thought silently in his heart.
In the front yard, the three houses on the right side of the head had burned down, and Yue Xi walked through after just one look.
The Tingtao Hall has been turned into rubble, and what comes into view is the black that has been burned by the fire!
Yue Xi walked over slowly, standing silently in front of the ruins, and the figure of Ying Su flashed in front of him.
He's been here......
Even after many months, Yue Xi could still feel the helpless despair in Yingsu's heart when faced with such a dilapidated landscape......
"Ah......" she lay down almost inaudibly, and turned to walk in the direction of the dining room.
After walking for so long, she had long been thirsty and her throat was smoking, and now she desperately wanted to find some water to moisten her throat.
"Fuck, those people in Li Bantou?" Ye Miancheng walked around the front rooms for a while, but he didn't see a living person, he followed in with a scolding: "I heard that the imperial court also sent a team of people to stay here, where are all these people?" ”
"There." Yue Xi raised his hand and pointed to a few rooms on the heights: "There are still clothes on the window." ”
Ye Miancheng stretched his neck to take a look, and sure enough, as Yue Xi said, there were messy clothes hanging on the open windowsill: "Done!" These people really do! I can mix better than adults! ”
"Huh!" Yue Xi grinned: "How good is this, it can be seen that in the eyes of these people, Lao Tzu is dead and transparent......"
