Chapter Seventy-Two: A Big Surprise
There was no cold wind, but the winter mornings in Beijing were exceptionally cold, and the snow painted the ground a single color. Qi Liang walked on the snow and left a series of lonely footprints, after passing through a small forest, the earth became more vast and snow-white, looking back at him for a while, where should he go?
He is still alive and able to escape from the city of Beijing, history has changed! But this butterfly flapping effect is not enough to change the trajectory of the entire wheel of human history, and he is far from being out of danger, and may be brought back to the original trajectory at any time.
This is the place where he and Gui Ming and the others connect, and no one has come yet, so he wonders if he can spend the rest of his life safely if he leaves quietly like this? As soon as this thought came to mind, there was a sudden movement in the snow a few meters away.
Qi Liang was startled and took two steps back: "Who?" "The soul is scared!
A figure came out and shouted in surprise: "Shizi! ”
"You are?" Qi Liang never thought that there would be people in the ground. Since he called him "the son of the world", he guessed that it should be the person who connected him, and he was no longer afraid, so he didn't know who it was?
The person who came shook off the snow on his body, but his body was still snow-white, and he replied as he walked: "Shizi! Slave Gui Ming! ”
Qi Liang was puzzled: "Are you Gui Ming?" "The sound is very similar, but the person is not very similar.
Gui Ming paused: "The slave respectfully invites the prince Jin'an!" ”
Qi Liang hurriedly helped him up, both happy and excited: "Is it really Gui Ming?" ”
Gui Ming was full of joy: "You can see the son of the world!" Let's go, the slave will take the son to meet the others! ”
"Wait!" Qi Liang took Gui Ming's hand, his face changed, and he asked excitedly, "You, tell me what's going on on your face?" "That day, Gui Ming was covered with a black scarf, and Qi Liang didn't see the big scar on his face until now, which was really hideous and terrifying.
Gui Mingqiang smiled: "It's okay! That day, Tanzhe Temple was besieged by the Qing army and suffered a little injury! ”
Qi Liangzhi was that he had missed the appointment that day, and said bitterly: "It's hard for you!" At first, he thought it was Gui Ming's disguise!
"Shizi! Let's go! Everyone is waiting! Gui Ming didn't want to talk about it too much, so as not to show his stuffing.
Qi Liang said "um", and suddenly scolded with a smile: "Gui Ming! I'm scared of you! ”
Gui Ming panicked: "The slave should die!" Please forgive the son! ”
It's just a joke, but it has become this effect if you don't want to, Qi Liang was stunned for a moment, patted Gui Ming, and said with a serious look: "What are you guilty of?" You were born and died in order to save me, and Xiao Wang will not be able to repay your kindness for the rest of his life! "I secretly reviewed in my heart that it would be better for me to joke less with my subordinates in the future, so as not to backfire.
Gui Ming knelt on the ground and said emotionally: "Shizi! This is what slaves and others should do, and the grace of the son of the world to us is the grace that we can never forget! ”
"Let's not talk about that!" Qi Liang helped Gui Ming up, once again realizing the deep-rooted idea of dignity and inferiority in this era, "Tell me how you escaped from the city that day?" ”
Gui Ming said happily: "Fortunately, the prince did not go out of the city with us that day, otherwise we would not have met today." ”
Qi Liang asked in surprise: "What's the matter?" ”
Gui Ming said: "When we arrived at the south gate that day, the situation was already precarious, and the Huang Lianqiang brothers deceived everyone in the clothes of the prince. After rushing out of the city, the people of the third prince of Zhu led us to retreat in the direction of the big red gate, the Qing army chased to the death, we fled all the way south little by little, and scattered the Qing army little by little......" He suddenly paused and said sadly: "In the end, the Huang Lianqiang brothers finally failed to escape the pursuit of the Qing army, and were caught up to the top of the mountain and fell into the valley, and died a miserable death!" Qi Liang knew this, and this had already spread all over the country.
Qi Liang was sad in his heart, and Gui Ming was resentful: "Later, we learned that the reason why the third prince of Zhu let us go to the south gate was to let us lead away the Qing army so that his own people could escape!" This time, we lost more than 50 brothers, nearly half of them! ”
Qi Liang was sad: "It's all for me!" Then he asked, "What happened later?" ”
Gui Ming said: "Later, the brothers who escaped slowly returned to the assembly point, but after a day and a night, only forty-eight people could return!" ”
Qi Liang was gloomy: "What about Zheng Yuning and Gu Ziming?" ”
Gui Ming was sad: "Zheng Yuning is missing, Gu Ziming is dead!" ”
Thinking of the suffering that the two of them suffered for themselves in prison, Qi Liang couldn't help crying bitterly, squatting in the snow and unwilling to go again. After a while, Qi Liangfu stood up again, although his eyes were still red, he was no longer out of shape, and asked with a different face: "What about Commander Chen?" ”
Gui Ming said: "Commander Chen disappeared long after we encountered Li Fenxian's thief to block us, and there has been no news until now!" ”
Qi Liang instructed: "The missing person must send someone to find it, and the arrested person must find a way to rescue him, and don't give up any good brother!" Let Jingshan figure it out! ”
The two walked as they talked, and an hour later they entered a farmhouse with a courtyard. Someone inside was already overjoyed: "The slave knocks on the son!" ”
Qi Liang held the person who came: "Sir, please get up!" "It was Master Qian of the Efu Mansion, who went out of the city two days before Qi Liang, and took the same method of sitting on a dung bucket.
Qian Yunfang let go aside: "Shizi, please come inside, it's warm inside!" ”
This house is not big, it is a very ordinary courtyard, and there are several people in it who are the original guards of the Efu Mansion, and they all salute Qi Liang one by one. After greeting for a while, Qian Yunfang let Qi Liang into the inner room, and Qi Liang sat down and asked, "Why are these few people?" What about the others? ”
Gui Ming replied: "All gathered together, the target is too big, and the others are scattered and hidden in three different places!" ”
Qi Liang nodded in approval, and then asked, "Do you still have any contact with Third Prince Zhu?" ”
Gui Ming shook his head: "After escaping from the city, everyone dispersed!" ”
"Do you know the whereabouts of Third Prince Zhu?"
Gui Ming still shook his head: "Third Prince Zhu has disappeared without a trace, but we still know a thing or two about some of his subordinates!" ”
Qi Liang commanded: "Keep a close eye on their whereabouts!" ”
Qian Yunfang touched his head and said hurriedly: "Shizi!" The minions think that the most important thing for us now is to escape back to Yunnan! More than ten days later, his hair grew an inch long, a bit like a modern person.
The guy with no ambitions, Qi Liang didn't talk about him, and asked, "What are your plans?" ”
Gui Ming said: "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, it can be considered safe to return to Yunnan, especially the prince!" ”
Qian Yunfang continued: "We want the prince to leave for the south as soon as possible!" ”
Qi Liang pondered for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "The wounded stay, and the rest of the people are all withdrawn to Yunnan!" Then he asked, "How many people know about me?" Did you return Yunnan side? ”
Qian Yunfang said: "The only people who know that the son of the world is okay are the people in this house and Tang Nan and the booklet in the city!" We haven't reported it in Yunnan yet, and it is up to the prince to decide whether to report it or not! ”
Qi Liang said: "The Yunnan side will not report for the time being, which will help us retreat south!" ”
"The son of the world is wise!" However, the two were still a little worried about the prince of Pingxi.
Qi Liang continued: "When retreating, it was divided into two roads, I was going to go north into Inner Mongolia first, then turn west into Shanxi, and then turn south!" ”
Qian Yunfang praised: "So good! The Qing court would never have thought that the prince was not dead, and if he thought of it, he would not have guessed that the prince would retreat north! ”
Gui Ming added: "The other way to retreat directly to the south can attract the attention of the Qing court in the event of a last-pit situation. ”
Qi Liang nodded: "I know that mine will go north with me, and the rest will go south!" ”
Gui Ming was worried: "Shizi! Will there be too few guards? ”
Qi Liang shook his head: "There are many people, but it is conspicuous, just have you with me!" Suddenly, he remembered something and ordered: "Let the pamphlet in the city and Tang Nan hurry out of the city and withdraw with us." ”
