Chapter 56: Out of the City
The cold wind was blowing, and the lights hanging high above the castle tower illuminated the night sky. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info large snowflakes fall from the dim sky one after another, scattered and gathered, fluttering and leisurely, light as a butterfly.
Mu Zhimo's carriage was still some distance away from the city gate, she saw the opportunity to throw things and lowered the curtain, and the carriage galloped all the way, taking advantage of the night and no one noticed this side.
Seeing that the carriage had gone away, a tall man flashed out of the road, stretching out his dirty hand to pick up the things on the ground.
"Big brother, what is this?" Immediately after that, two boys, one big and one young, looked at the wooden sign in the man's hand and wondered.
The man just wanted to shake his head, but suddenly touched the protrusion on the wooden sign, and then took two steps out, took a closer look at it by the faint firelight in the distance, and immediately changed his face, "Bai Zhiling!" Master's token! ”
"What! Big brother, are you mistaken? Let's take a look! The other two followed in surprise and took the token and carefully confirmed it twice, glanced at each other, and both saw the disbelief in each other's eyes, and their slightly childish voices said in unison, "Master, the master is in the carriage that just left?!" ”
Not long ago, these begging people in Linjun City received news that their master had been taken captive. Right now, everyone is looking for news in the city, but they didn't think about it, but they ran into it! Although they haven't seen the master-behind the scenes in person for so long, this Bai Zhiling is something they all know, and they can't be wrong!
"Big brother, it's the master! What are we going to do? Both of them gathered around the tall man and waited for him to come up with an idea.
He glanced at the carriage parked not far from the city gate, looked around again, and thought deeply for a while before saying in a deep voice, "That is indeed the master!" But the carriage looks like it is either rich or expensive, and now there are only three of us, I am afraid that it will not be good to make trouble at the gate of this city, and if we don't get it right, we will not be able to save the master, and we will lose our lives! ”
He thought for a moment and patted the youngest boy on the shoulder, "That's it, Ah Liang, you hurry up and go to the principal to inform him of the news of the young lady, and you Ah Hu and I will follow the carriage in this idea." We have left you a mark, and when you find the Lord, you will bring him to us! ”
The little boy named Ah Liang looked like he was six or seven years old, combing a small hair that was facing the sky, tied with a red string, his red face was full of determination, and he patted his little breasts with a manly face, "Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely bring the news to the principal!" Blinking his big eyes and looking at the two brothers worriedly, "Then you and the second brother should be careful!" ”
The tall man nodded, "Well, go ahead, be careful on the road!" ”
Ah Liang obediently turned around and trotted away.
Ah Hu watched the little black dot disappear, and he was still a little uneasy, "Big brother, can Ah Liang be so young?" ”
"Don't worry, he's a ghost!" The tall man walked forward. Ah Hu was relieved, so he hurriedly followed, and the two slowly approached the city gate.
At the gate of the city, there are sparsely lined up people in some coarse cloth and cotton clothes, most of whom are countrymen pushing carts and carrying burdens, and they come to the city to sell something to eat. The weather was getting colder and colder, and they couldn't stop rubbing their hands, just thinking that they could get out of the city sooner. Not far away, the generals in gold armor and sabers in their hands patrolled left and right, their faces were serious, and from time to time they reprimanded a few small soldiers around them.
Ah Hu followed the eldest brother in the line, just not far from Mu Zhimo's carriage, and paid attention to the movement of the carriage while moving with the team. Seeing that his brother nodded, he patted the woman in front of him with his hand, and smirked, "Auntie, can you insert a position?" ”
The woman turned around and saw a dirty teenage child standing behind her, still drooling, and spat in disgust, "Go away!" Where did the little name Hanako come from! ”
"Wow, if you don't let it, forget it, why do you murder me!" Ah Hu cried loudly.
Seeing this, the soldier on patrol roared impatiently, "What a noise! If you want to go back early, you can run over and line up for me, what are you doing? Give me some points! ”
Ah Hu stopped crying, and the woman shrunk her neck and didn't dare to speak again.
Mu Zhimo was lying in the carriage at this time, closing her eyes and covering the quilt, as if she was asleep. When she heard the noise outside, she was relieved. Fortunately, the token given by Uncle Chen when she left, she could think about finding the beggar on the street to send the news back.
Soon Mu Zhimo felt a soldier outside the car say loudly, "Take out your tooth tags!" ”
"What so much nonsense, call your generals over!" A voice in the carriage shouted.
The general in the distance came over when he heard the sound, waved his hand to let the little soldier retreat, and then said in a thick voice, "I want to see whose face is so big!" Take out the tooth card! ”
He flew down from the carriage, and then the man sitting in the carriage spoke, "Hurry up, let's get out of the city after reading it!" ”
Starting with Wen Run, the general only glanced at the white jade tooth card, then immediately changed his face, and saluted with a smile on his face, "It turned out to be a nobleman's carriage, please forgive me for any offense!" After speaking, he hurriedly kicked the little soldier beside him, "What are you doing here, you are about to lead the nobles out of the city!" ”
"Yes! Be! The little soldier nodded in response, and hurriedly trotted over to follow the carriage, "Nobleman, walk this way!"
The man in the car snorted coldly, and rode out of the city after the little soldier.
The tall men's team also lined up at the door, took out wooden tooth cards, and without much effort, the two of them also went out of the city gate. Looking at the carriage on the official road from afar, he hurriedly took out a little bit of broken silver accumulated on his body, and hurriedly said, "Ah Hu, I'm fast, follow the carriage first." You go and see if there are any horse-drawn carts or ox-carts nearby, rent or buy one and keep up! Then he galloped to the carriage.
"Eh..."Ah Hu looked at the big brother who had no shadow, pinched the silver in his hand and stomped his feet, "This big night, where will there be cars for sale!" Annoyed and afraid of delaying the time, he had to run to some people out of the city, muttering as he ran, "This silver is all the belongings, but I must be blessed to save the master!" ”
On the official road, a carriage staggered forward. Mu Zhimo sat in the carriage, almost throwing up the bumps. forcibly opened the curtain and glanced out, the light snow flying outside the window, the moonlight sprinkled all over the ground, the surroundings were silent, Mu Zhimo glanced back and put down the curtain.
She cleaned up twice and sat down again with the brocade quilt, and the carriage didn't run far away, when suddenly there was a dull sound, and the carriage stopped with a grunt....
