Chapter 263: Escape from Taiyuan

、、、、、、、、、、

"Husband, I believe in you! I'm going to follow you for the rest of my life! Husband, take me back to Liaodong with you! Li Xiuning resolutely made a decision and said with a firm face.

Seeing that Li Xiuning did not hesitate and followed his footsteps as he went out, Yuming finally laughed happily.

He had to leave tonight, but Li Xiuning, who was only engaged, made it difficult for him to decide. According to common sense, since she has already married, then Yuming should take her with her wherever she goes, after all, the daughter who marries out is considered a member of her husband's family.

However, now that he is going back to Liaodong, he is going to rebel, although he is very sure that he will become a strong local man who supports the army and stands on his own, and the court will not tear his face immediately. But the risk of failure is also very high. For such a famous strange girl in history, and Li Xiuning, who is also kind to herself, Yuming is willing to give her a choice. Whether to go or stay, it's all in her thoughts. And Li Xiuning's choice also made him very happy, and he felt that he was not looking at the wrong person.

Yu Ming walked briskly, while pulling up Li Xiuning's slender hand, and said in a low voice: "Xiuning, after many years, you will definitely think that today is a turning point in your life, and you will definitely not regret making such a choice." I Yuming will definitely make you happy for the rest of your life! ”

After that, he pulled Li Xiuning, who had not retreated, out of the room, and then under the guidance of Fang Xuanling, he walked towards the entrance of the secret passage that had been prepared a long time ago......

……

After entering the dark passage, Yu Mingfang said to Fang Xuanling: "Xuanling, things have changed!" It seems that Li Yuan is really cautious, and has made such careful arrangements for us, and has set up checkpoints to block us along the way back to Liaodong, and the original plan does not seem to be safe enough, so if he escapes recklessly, he will crash into the enemy's net. There are still five hours before the original gates are opened. We can't sit still, and only by escaping back to Liaodong can we be truly safe. ”

As soon as Yu Ming's words fell, Fang Xuanling and the accompanying soldiers were shocked. Although the situation in Tenhara is becoming more and more tense these days, everyone thinks that according to the plan drawn up before, there is no problem with a safe evacuation. But listening to Yu Ming say this, not to mention returning to Liaodong safely, it may not be so smooth to leave the original capital.

At present, although it has reached the second watch, the hall of the city guard mansion is still full of guests, and there are businessmen and officials everywhere drinking and carnivaling, looking at such a lively scene, no one thought that Li Yuan had already decided to get rid of Yuming.

Fang Xuanling frowned, and said in a deep voice: "It's only five hours before leaving the city. In such a short period of time, it is difficult to arrange a change of line and notify the answering personnel. Once Li Yuan sends troops to pursue, it will be difficult for us to escape. I think that we will immediately disperse in disguise tonight, and then converge to the foothold near the designated city gate, and when the city gate is opened early tomorrow morning, we will be able to leave the city in batches, so that it will not be easy to be exposed. When we get out of town, we will meet and things will be much easier. ”

"Wait until dawn before you go out of town? Will it be in time? Yu Ming frowned and said.

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he hurriedly said, "General, please rest assured, I have already prepared for the evacuation of the original two days ago. Although it is a bit hasty to change the plan at the last minute, it will not be a problem. It's just that if you want to get out of the city now, it's a little difficult. ”

Everyone also looked gloomy, and everyone knew that the officers of the city gate would not open the door at night. However, by the next morning, Li Yuan would inevitably find that Yuming and the others had fled the city guard, and would inevitably order the city gates to be closed and go from house to house, and the chances of them not being discovered were very small.

"If the husband wants to leave the city immediately, the concubine may have a way!" At this time, Li Xiuning, who had been listening to them carefully, suddenly said.

"Xiuning, do you have a way to get out of the city?" After Yu Ming heard this, he was also surprised.

Li Xiuning nodded, and at this time, she took out a piece of silver from her arms to make a very delicately made token and said: "Husband, this is a special pass token given to Xiuning by my father, and I have one with my eldest brother, second brother, and fourth brother." In case of emergency, officers below the rank of commander may be transferred, as if the person who sees the card is himself. With this token, I should be able to lead everyone out of town. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all very happy, and Fang Xuanling also said with a happy face: "If Miss Li comes forward in person, then the city gate officer should not stop it." ”

"Well, without further ado, let's immediately change into the armor of the city guards, and then go to the east gate! The sooner the better! Yu Ming said loudly.

Everyone responded, and when they were about to leave, Fang Xuanling suddenly remembered something and showed a look of embarrassment.

He is also from the Guanlong Gate Valve, although he is not a family of gate valves, but he is also a noble family. His father was also an official of the Great Sui, and in his early years, he made great contributions to the destruction of Chen, and now he has retired at home and lives a leisurely life. But now, if he and Fang Xuanzao follow Yu Ming and escape, it will be a real rebellion. Fang Xuanling really couldn't imagine that after their brother left, Yang Guang would send someone to arrest his family.

After a long time, Fang Xuanling really couldn't put his family out of the way, so Fang said: "General, if we leave, we will rebel in the future." Xia Guan didn't have many relatives in the Central Plains, but he hoped to take my father with him to Liaodong, and asked the general for permission. ”

As soon as Fang Xuanling's words fell, the surroundings fell silent, and everyone was silent.

At this time, most of the family members of the accompanying soldiers were all over the Central Plains, and a small number of them had already taken their family members to Liaodong. But there are also some family members in Guanlong, Dongdu, Jianghuai and other places at this time, if they leave like this, then their respective families will inevitably be hunted down.

Yu Ming was also hesitant in his heart. If you say who has the most family members, it is undoubtedly his Yuming's the most. His father Yu Huaji, his mother Xiao Wanjun, his wife who had just given birth to a child, his eldest grandson Wujian, and thousands of clansmen in Yu Valve, are still in the Eastern Capital. If he escaped, then these clansmen would inevitably fall into the hands of Yang Guang. But he simply didn't have the ability to save so many people at once, and such a choice made him miserable.

After coughing dryly, Yu Mingfang said in a low voice: "Xuan Ling, you immediately take a few brothers to pick up Ling Zun, but you don't have to tell him the ins and outs of the matter, lest the old man refuse to leave after he finds out." However, if this kind of thing really happens, even if he is tied back to Liaodong for the time being. Remember, be careful, and when I return to Liaodong safely, I'll let Red Sleeves send someone to pick you up! ”

At this time, another personal soldier also hesitated: "General, my parents are dead, and I only have one sister who depends on each other. Now that my uncle was dismissed from his official position by the imperial court because of his opposition to the expedition to Goryeo, and exiled to Xiliang, his subordinates also wanted to take their family to Liaodong, I wonder if the general can agree? ”

"Okay! Immediately take a few brothers to Xiliang and pick them up. Those who are willing to come to Liaodong, I welcome them! Yu Ming didn't think about it, so he agreed to his request.

After everyone finished discussing, Yu Ming repaired two letters, one to his father Yu Huaji, telling him his decision, whether Yu Valve wanted to follow him immediately, and it was decided by his father, the new head of the Yu family.

The other letter was addressed to the eldest grandson Wuji, asking her to prepare immediately and bring the child to Liaodong to join her, and he would immediately send someone to pick up their mother, if possible, it would be best to call her uncle eldest grandson Wuji, mother Xiao Wanjun and other relatives to evacuate together.

After the plan was formulated, it began to be implemented in batches, and Yuming ordered the brigade to wear the clothes of the original defenders and rush to the east gate at a fast speed.

The officers guarding the east gate were also very surprised when they saw that a large group of men and horses had suddenly rushed to the city and were going out of the city in the middle of the night. Because he had been informed by Li Yuan before, saying that there might be drastic changes in the city in the near future, he should be strictly guarded, and no suspicious person should be allowed to leave the city.

But now, a large group of people suddenly appeared to leave the city, and it was in the middle of the night, which could not help but make him suspicious.

"Captain Song, it's me!" Just as he was about to stop the group, a heroic female knight dressed in black rushed over on horseback. She tied her hair back in a ponytail, which was even more charming when the night breeze blew it. And her appearance is even more overwhelming, making it difficult for people to take their eyes off her face after seeing her.

"Ahh It's Miss! Captain Song was also taken aback when he saw the female knight appear, and hurriedly dismounted to greet him.

"Captain Song doesn't have to be polite! Tonight, on my father's orders, I went out of the city to pursue the fleeing Turkic spies. The matter is urgent, please Captain Song open the city gate quickly and let me wait out of the city! Li Xiuning said solemnly.

After Captain Song heard this, he was also a little hesitant, Li Xiuning came forward, then there would naturally be no problem with this team, but Li Yuan explained again that without his order, no one could be let out of the city.

"This ...... Miss, Lord Li will explain again, without his orders......" He was halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Li Xiuning: "I understand, you want a token, right?" I'll give you this token for safekeeping! When I chase people back, I'll ask you again! ”

Li Xiuning snorted coldly, and then threw a silver-white token to Captain Song.

Captain Song took the token and looked at it, and saw that it was a special pass token issued by Li Yuan, and he was immediately shocked. After hesitating for a moment, he hurriedly put the token carefully into his arms. Then he said respectfully: "Since the young lady is leading the team, and there is a special pass token, you can naturally go out of the city!" ”

With that, he waved to the soldiers guarding the gates, "Open the gates!" Let the young lady out of town! ”

As a result, the east gate of the original city slowly opened with a "creak" sound. Yuming and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Li Xiuning waved his horsewhip at this time, and his eyes fluttered: "Let's go!" Get out of town! ”

Everyone responded, and then followed behind Li Xiuning, quickly walked out of the city gate, and ran towards the vast Hedong wasteland......
