Chapter 502: Righteousness
didn't have time to think about it, Gu Xing had already taken Chen Fusheng and others to hide in the middle of Chengzhongfang City. In order to hide people's eyes, the market is still lively and unaffected by the war, and it is no different from before. The pursuers followed closely, but found nothing in the market and had to turn back.
At this time, the Yuen Long guard, who had been lurking outside the county guard's office, saw a person entering through the back door, as if to hide people's eyes. But after waiting for a long time, there was still nothing unusual in the county guard's mansion, and the two of them combined to go back to report according to the plan.
Gu Xing hugged Tong Hatzhu and took Chen Fusheng to hide in a fireworks willow alley. This was not uncommon in the past, but it is rare to see at this time. But this seemingly "flowery" place has no glamorous figure, except for the fragrance, no one appears, which makes both of them a little undecided.
However, Tong hated Zhu and felt that this place was very good, so he begged to stay. At this time, the three of them had nowhere to go, so they had to find a little opportunity here. Looking at the women's dresses drying in the backyard, Chen Fusheng had a plan, "I'll wait to replace them to hide people's eyes." ”
Although Gu Xing is unwilling, the current situation is pressing, so he can only do things urgently. Chen Fusheng changed into a women's dress, and she was so beautiful and moving without powder, which made Gu Xing and Tong Hatzhu's eyes straighten. If you haven't known each other for a long time, I'm afraid there will be a misunderstanding.
Gu Xing was a little abrupt when he put it on, I don't know if the rough lines of his face can't be softened, or if his limbs can't be soft, so he has to learn Chen Fusheng to scratch his head and make a posture, pretending to be a woman. Tong Hatzhu's face was still a little dirty, but he was a little lenient when he changed into a group, so he could only pull his belt hard to avoid laughing and being generous.
The three of them had already changed, so they followed the path and walked forward, and when they walked through the backyard door, they heard the gongs and drums in the front yard, and they didn't know what to celebrate. The three of them were about to turn around and leave, but they were unexpectedly blocked, and the person who came was a middle-aged woman with a bloated body.
Just when she hesitated any longer, the middle-aged woman took the lead in speaking, "What are you still doing in a daze, you are too busy in front, you are still lazy here, believe it or not, I let the turtle man beat your ass." As he spoke, he raised his orchid finger and made a gesture to fight.
Although Chen Fusheng didn't know the identity of this person, he was a good observer, and immediately stepped forward to hold the middle-aged woman's arm, and said in a coquettish voice: "Auntie, don't worry, our sisters will go, let's go." ”
The middle-aged woman's expression was relaxed, but Gu Xing and Tong Hazhu looked at each other. They were shocked by Chen Fusheng's hand, it was a bit unbelievable that a man who was like a fake could switch freely between men and women without being noticeable.
The middle-aged woman saw the most dazzling person among them begging for mercy, and did not continue to make trouble, but looked up and down at the three of them, and asked suspiciously: "When did you come to Yixiangyuan, why haven't you seen it?" ”
Chen Fusheng immediately let out a delicate trembling voice again, "Auntie doesn't know, now that there is war outside the city, we also fled not long ago." Desperate in the city, he threw himself into the courtyard and wanted to find a way to live. ”
The middle-aged woman nodded suspiciously, and did not continue to make trouble, but when she saw Tong Hatzhu, an unbearable look appeared on her face, "Such a little girl was thrown away." lest they be looked upon by those jackals, tigers and leopards, and eaten alive. In this way, the little girl will follow me back to the backyard to stay, and after you have entertained the guests, you will go back to Feiliu Pavilion to pick her up. ”
There seemed to be no room for negotiation, and the middle-aged woman stepped forward to take Tong Hatzhu and was about to leave. The little girl naturally tried her best to break free, but Chen Fusheng glanced at her, and Tong Hatzhu nodded aggrievedly, and followed the middle-aged woman to leave step by step.
Gu Xing was a little uneasy, and he stopped and watched until the two of them disappeared, and then he hurriedly asked, "Just give the little girl to someone else?" ”
Chen Fusheng was calm and calm, and after thinking for a while, he said: "This aunt is not like a bad person, judging from the way she dresses, she looks like an elderly servant here, not an old bustard. In other words, I don't read and write, but I certainly don't have bad intentions. If we had the intention of causing harm, and howled just now, we would have been prisoners already. As for why we took Tong Hate Bamboo away, I was afraid that our goal would be too big and attract suspicion from others. ”
"If it's true as you say, that's acceptable. Just don't delay too long, go where she said and get people back. Gu Xing still said with some apprehension in his heart.
Chen Fusheng suddenly smiled and sang in a joking voice: "Lang Jun really thinks that the slave family will go to the front yard to show up? ”
Gu Xing was speechless for a while when he heard this, and he didn't know why. But when he saw two servants passing by, he couldn't help but look back when he wiped his body, and there was confusion and surprise in his eyes. But Xu had an important task in his body, and he didn't come forward to ask, just that the two of them were hanging their throats here.
The sound in the front yard became more and more loud, and the atmosphere in the field gradually intensified. At such a difficult time, the city can still spend all day and drink, which makes both of them a little unhappy or sad.
But when I think of what Captain Yuen Long said, I am afraid that this scene here is even more inseparable from those "old people......
…………
At this time, in the inner hall of the county guard's mansion, there were three people surrounding Ran Qi. The three of them didn't use force, they just looked at Ran Qi without saying a word, and were a little annoyed. One of the men got up and tried to make a move, but was stopped by the woman beside him and shook his head. The man thought about it again and again, but finally sat back.
Ran Qi slowly opened his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want?" It's been three days since this happened, and if the old story has already been said, if there is anything else to say, just say it directly. ”
The man clenched his hands into fists and pressed them on his knees, as if he was still uneasy in his heart, but because of the situation in front of him, he did not say anything after all. However, another young woman laughed coquettishly: "Ran County Shou is so infatuated, my sister has been gone for more than a few months, and Lord County Shou has worked hard, but he is not marrying, which makes me feel very warm." ”
Ran Qi raised his eyebrows coldly when he heard this, but he knew that the woman meant something, so he just snorted coldly and did not answer. Instead, another woman with a frosty face glared at the young woman, who immediately lowered her head and said no more. The frost-faced woman said apologetically: "Don't be angry, my sister doesn't choose what to say, and my lord already knows." I'm waiting here to visit, not for other reasons, I just want to ask the county guard, can you form an alliance with me Yichu? ”
As soon as the cold and frosty woman said this, the three people present were all shocked. The young woman and the man were surprised that the woman got straight to the point, but they didn't have to go through the twists and turns. Ran Qi was stunned when he heard this, but the stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he sighed in his heart, "What should come will always come." ”
After a long silence, Ran Qi spoke: "When Madame was alive, she also asked me. However, at that time, Longshou County was still a land of the Later Tang Dynasty and could not be used by the enemy, so it was not possible to make the trip from beginning to end. But now......"
"How's it going?" The frost-faced woman asked happily when she heard this, and it seemed that things had taken a turn for the better.
Ran Qi shook his head, "It's even more impossible now, now that Tang Feng is smoking, if I collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, wouldn't I be no different from a sinner." My wife never persecuted me at the beginning, and I will not go against my heart now. ”
Seeing that Ran Qi's attitude was so resolute, the man stood up again and said condescendingly: "Then do you know that Longshou County is in my hands at this time?" ”
Ran Qi was shocked when he heard this, and he also stood up suddenly, "What did you say?" Longshou County has been taken by you? ”
The man sneered, "It's too early to say that it will be taken, but it is just to convey the meaning of our wait with your orders, and the current situation only needs a little means to stir up the restlessness of the chickens and dogs in the city." And as far as I know, you sent troops to help, and the city's air defense was weak, if there were no reinforcements, I am afraid ......"
When Ran Qi heard this, he sat back in his place and became silent. The man continued: "The Lord of the Later Tang Dynasty is not the Ming Monarch, so why do you bother to support it. When I arrived, I heard the rumors that this man was sending troops to kill here, and he was bound to kill you before he would stop. If you insist on going your own way, there is only one way out. ”
Ran Qi remained silent, looking very painful. The situation was indeed unfavorable to him, but he was unwilling to compromise easily. Just like when the dragon head was in battle, Ran Qi made a quick decision, the strong man broke his wrist, and turned the tide to save the people of the dragon head in danger.
But Ran Qi never expected that the last straw that crushed him at the moment was the woman he loved deeply.
This time, it was not the man who continued, but the woman with a frosty face who suddenly hid her face and cried, "Brother Ran, can you let me call you that?" Do you know that after my sister's death, the clan was furious, and exposed his spirit card to the sun for seven days, abandoned it in a forbidden place, and never took it back. She is in your place, her heart is in you, but the soul will eventually return to Yichu, if you insist like this, my sister will have no way to return home, and become a ghost and wild ghost wandering in the world all day long, can you bear to see this scene? ”
After the woman finished speaking, she covered her face and no longer looked back at Ran Qi. Ran Qi's eyes widened when he heard this, although he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but after all, he was the woman he loved the most, and the three of them would never use this to coax him here, so he heard the sound and was in pain.
The man looked at the frosty woman as if to reproach, but the young woman shook her head at him, as if to say that it was her sister's expedient measure, and she revealed the most obscure secret of the Yichu clan, just to ask Ran Qi to form an alliance.
If they can return Longshou County to their side, they will have the capital to threaten the Later Tang, and at the same time, they will be able to weigh the Later Zhou and no longer become vassals of the two countries at war. This step of going deep behind enemy lines is the task of the county guard lady on the spot, but she has been very emotional for a long time, but she can't play until she loses her life.
Then the two women fled and came to Luoyang to join the envoy who had already been here, and returned to Longshou County in a circle, just to complete the unfinished mission at the beginning. As long as Longshou County can nod his head, then Yi Chu will be able to rise and be invincible in the chaotic war of the Seven Kingdoms.
