Chapter 35: Escape from Jianye

Mo Liu and Qian Wei took advantage of the night to go to a secret stronghold in Longyuan in the city, and happened to meet Tian Li and Yu Wu coming out. Mo Liu was afraid of implicating Qian Wei, so he asked him to go back first, and secretly followed behind the two by himself. After walking for a while, I found that the two of them went to King Kang's mansion.

Since King Kang's rebellion, the palace has been raided, and now the palace is vacant, temporarily guarded by several officials of the Criminal Department.

When Mo Liu saw the two of them enter King Kang's Mansion, he went around to the side door and sneaked in. found that Tian Li and Yu Wu walked directly to the backyard of King Kang's mansion, stayed near a rockery for a while, and then disappeared. Mo Liu watched from afar, and he concluded that there must be a mechanism in the rockery, and Dong Yun and Mo Buyu were most likely locked up here. He waited patiently for nearly a pillar of incense, and saw that there were many people from Long Yuan guarding nearby, which made him even more sure of his thoughts.

Tian Li and Yu Wu finally reappeared, Mo Liu didn't dare to make a sound, and when the two left for a while, he quickly ran to the rockery, explored carefully for a long time, and finally found something.

With the faint moonlight, several stone benches on the side of the rockery showed signs of moving, and Mo Liu immediately tried to push them hard. It was discovered that the ground was slowly moving to the sides, revealing a staircase that led to the ground. Mo Liu hurriedly walked down. The stairs were not long, about thirty steps, and an iron gate stood in front of him. The iron door was very heavy, Mo Liu tried to push it, but there was no movement, it was obvious that the iron door was firmly locked from the inside, so that if you want to enter, you can only rely on the people inside to open the door.

Mo Liu thought for a while and decided to take a risk. He took out his Longyuan wooden card, took a deep breath, and slapped the iron door heavily. It didn't take long for a small window to open on the inside of the iron door. A jailer looked out and asked when he saw Mo Liu, "What are you doing?" Mo Liuyi flashed his Longyuan wooden card and said coldly: "The elder asked me to come over and ask the prisoner something, open the door quickly." The jailer carefully looked at the wooden sign in Mo Liu's hand, then closed the small window and opened the iron door. Most of the jailers had never seen the wanted list of the Criminal Department, and this time they made the right bet. Seeing that the door opened, Mo Liu strode into the dungeon, quickly looked at the cell, and saw Dong Yun and Mo Buyu at a glance, he pretended to be calm, and slowly walked to the two cells, and gave the two of them a look at the same time.

Dong Yun and Mo Buyu were sitting helplessly on the ground, but when they heard someone coming in, they got up and looked over, and found that it was Mo Liu, the two of them were a little surprised, and then saw that Mo Liu had been making eyes at themselves, and the two of them also pretended to be silent, waiting for Mo Liu to come over slowly. Mu Yuzheng also knew Mo Liu, he suddenly got together, and when Dong Yun saw it, his eyes glared at him fiercely, and his fingers made a shut-up movement on his lips. Mu Yizheng is not stupid, so he will shut up for the time being and see how a few people act.

Mo Liu followed the jailer all the way, and when he arrived in front of Dong Yun's cell, Mo Liu opened his mouth and said, "Open the door!" The jailer replied, "My lord, this is not good, this prisoner will be escorted to the execution ground tomorrow, in case something goes wrong, he can't afford it." When Mo Liu heard that Dong Yun would be executed tomorrow, his heart was shocked, Emperor Wen and Jiuli moved so fast, glad that they happened to touch it today, and then said: "They have chains on their hands and feet, what am I afraid of, the elder ordered to ask things face to face, and it is very confidential, you will get into trouble if you hear it." The jailer hesitated for a moment, and then remembered that this was a dungeon, and there were guards outside, so there should be no major incident, so he took out the key and opened the cell door. When Mo Liu saw the cell door open, he quickly stepped forward and slapped the jailer on the back of the head, then picked up the key and threw it at Mo Buyu. When the other two jailers saw Mo Liu's move, they hurriedly rushed to the iron gate to go out to find help. Seeing this, Mo Liu took out his two knives together, flew behind the two jailers, and accurately stabbed them in the back. Dong Yun and Mo Buyu had come out of the cell, and the two groped around the jailer, found the key to the chain, opened the chains of their hands and feet, and finally got out of trouble. Mu Hao was looking at the three of them, with a hint of pleading in his tone: "And me." Dong Yun glanced at Mu Yuzheng and threw the jailer's key casually.

As soon as Mo Buyu got out of trouble, he came up and asked Mo Liu: "How is grandpa?" Mo Liu lowered his head and said in an extremely low voice: "Brother Buyu, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of my grandfather." Mo Buyu heard Mo Liu's words, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, tears welled up in his eyes, and the whole person trembled. Dong Yun didn't know what to say, so he could only come up and pat him on the shoulder.

Dong Yun waited for Mu Yuzheng to untie the chains of his hands and feet, and immediately said, "Hurry up and get out of here." Mu Yuzheng had a close relationship with Prince Kang, so he was also very familiar with King Kang's mansion, and proposed that the three of them follow him out of here. Dong Yun and Mu Yu were walking in front, Mo Buyu and Mo Liu followed, and the four of them cautiously came to the rockery, and there were people from Long Yuan patrolling around them from time to time. Mu Hao was looking around and pointed to a wing room on the west side of King Kang's Mansion. Mo Buyu and Mo Liu moved quickly, dodging the patrolling sergeant, and came to the door of the wing, Mo Liu carefully pushed the door open, Dong Yun and Mu Yuzheng saw this, and also ran over quickly, and the four of them quickly hid in the house.

Mu Hao was in the room, walking towards a closet, he swung a few utensils at will, and the closet slowly moved away. Another tunnel appeared. Mu Yunzheng walked down without hesitation, and Dong Yun and the three of them also followed. The four of them walked for a long time in the dark tunnels. When the four of them got out of the tunnel, they found that the exit on the other side was actually near the Xuanwu Gate of the palace. It seems that Prince Kang had premeditated back then, otherwise he would not have dug such a tunnel. Dong Yun thought that after Prince Kang was killed that day, Mu Yuzheng and Luo Rin disappeared immediately, presumably taking this secret passage. Mu Hao was saying goodbye to the three of them, he said sincerely, "Thank you for the rescue, there will be a time later." The three of them didn't think much about it, and after giving it up, they left separately.

Mo Liu led Mo Buyu and Dong Yun to Qian Wei's secret barn, and told Qian Wei that Qian Wei was a pawn arranged by his grandfather early in the morning, just so that he could evacuate Jianye smoothly at a critical moment, but he didn't expect his grandfather to pass away, and the result was that the three of them used this retreat road.

Early the next morning, Tian Li and Yu Wu found Dong Yun and Mo Buyu escaping and immediately reported to the palace. Yesterday, Dong Yun and Mo Buyu were detained in King Kang's Mansion, Emperor Wen was a little hesitant, but Xinggan and Zhang Jue insisted that they want to execute the two, he reluctantly agreed, but now that he heard that the two had escaped, he was completely enraged, and ordered the Criminal Department and Long Yuan to arrest the two with all their might, and in case of resistance, there would be no forgiveness for killing. Early in the morning, Mo Buyu and Qian Wei's wanted list also appeared on the bulletin board of the Criminal Department.

Qian Wei saw that Mo Liu brought the two of them back last night, and immediately went to contact the merchant ship, and early in the morning, the four of them secretly got into a carriage carrying grain and came towards the south city gate.

After Emperor Wen was angry and ordered the arrest of Dong Yun, Mo Buyu, and Mo Liu, the forbidden army was also ordered to search in the city, and at the gate of the southern city, Xiao Cheng personally led a team of forbidden troops to guard the side to prevent the three of them from leaving the city. The horse team carrying grain had seven or eight rather large wagons, on which a large amount of grain and grass was piled up, and the four of them hid in the penultimate car.

The horse team just arrived at the gate of the south city, the city defense army came forward to inquire, the team owner showed the entry and exit documents, after the city defense army inspection, in the vicinity of the carriage a few turns, from time to time with the blade stabbed a few grain and grass, see that there is no abnormality and let the team leave. Xiao Cheng kept an eye on the convoy on the side, watching the carriages move slowly, and just when the carriage where the four of Mo Buyu were hiding was about to leave the city, Xiao Cheng seemed to be aware of it, walked up quickly, and ordered the carriage to stop.

The four people in the car and the team boss were all shocked, the boss was quite sleek, and hurriedly came up, and asked Xiao Cheng with a smile on his face: "General, what's wrong?" ”

Xiao Cheng glanced at the boss, he slowly approached the carriage, carefully looked at the pile of grain and grass, thought for a while, and suddenly said to the boss: "Have a good trip!" He turned and waved his hand, signaling the carriage to leave.

Dong Yun, Mo Bu was silent, Mo Liu heard it clearly, Xiao Cheng probably guessed it, and the phrase "a smooth journey" was also said to the three of them. A few years later, Xiao Cheng was glad that this decision not only saved him, but also affected the pattern of the entire Central Plains Continent.

The horse team successfully arrived at the ferry outside Jianye City, everyone separated, Qian Wei took a boat to meet his wife and children, and decided to find a secluded place to settle down and spend the rest of his life in peace. Mo Buyu and Mo Liu went back to their hometown in Jiangdong and settled their grandfather before making plans. Dong Yun decided to go back to Qinggu first.

In Jianye City, the Criminal Department, the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion, and Long Yuan searched for several days, but there was no mention of the whereabouts of the three people, Emperor Wen was depressed, and everyone acted extremely carefully.

Jin Huiqun finally entered Beijing, and after he received the order to return to Beijing to report on his work, he seemed to have expected it, and he was not worried that Emperor Wen would be guilty, so he took Jin Muya and his cronies and sergeants all the way. As soon as he arrived in Jianye, he immediately entered the palace to ask for a meeting.

When Emperor Wen saw Jin Huiqun, he didn't give him a good face, this former general who almost became a prisoner of Northern Qin, he was planning to rectify it. But Jin Huiqun was smiling, and presented the account book of the Wang family with both hands, Emperor Wen was a little surprised, he didn't expect that after the Wang brothers and sisters fled, Jin Huiqun actually had the ability to get this account book, and his anger disappeared for a while. Jin Huiqun informed Emperor Wen that after he intercepted Wang Shumi and Cui Ji that day, he was imprisoned in a post station, but soon Cui Ji took the opportunity to escape, he did not send someone to arrest him immediately, but kept the sergeant following behind him, until Cui Ji took a boat south to Xuancheng, and after taking the Wang account book from a Wang shop, the sergeants captured him and got the account book, and Cui Ji himself was killed by the sergeants because of resistance. Emperor Wen smiled, and the interrogator on the side was a little angry, he didn't expect this former general to be so scheming, he was originally the person Jiuli secretly wooed, but it seems that he didn't really cooperate with Jiuli, and faintly decided that he must find a chance to clean him up.

After Emperor Wen got the account book, he read it carefully, his face changed slightly from time to time, Jin Huiqun looked at it one by one, and after Emperor Wen read it, Jin Huiqun took the initiative to share his Majesty's worries and was willing to deal with the remnants of the Wang family in person. Emperor Wen thought for a moment, since he got the account book, and saw that he was also quite loyal, he ordered him not to return to the mouth of the beard, and gave him a mansion in Jianye, and made him the imperial doctor. When Jin Huiqun heard this, he quickly knelt down and thanked him.

The judge took Jin Huiqun away and asked Emperor Wen: "Your Majesty, I think this person is quite scheming, and it is not appropriate to reuse it." ”

Emperor Wen glared at Shen Gan, and said with some anger: "I have my own plans, you try your best to manage Long Yuan." ”
