Chapter 38: Out of the Palace
As soon as the sky was slightly bright, two figures appeared near the south gate of the palace.
Walking in front is Dong Bai, who has restored his usual costume. I saw her wearing a purple and red floral satin dress, a golden hairpin on her head, and a jade bracelet on her wrist, graceful and luxurious.
But his face was a little haggard, and it seemed that he hadn't rested well last night.
Behind her was a gray-robed man, with a crown on his head, his feet tilted, his steps were light, his face was alert, and he probed the surrounding situation as he walked.
If you look closely, it is the wanted criminal - Huaxing!
In order to prevent being recognized, he specially took off his military uniform and changed into a eunuch uniform today, and covered the scar on his face with rice noodles, planning to use Dong Bai's name to sneak out of the palace.
As for why he didn't kidnap Dong Bai and forcibly leave the palace, it was because in his opinion, if he could sneak out of the palace, it would definitely be more beneficial to him.
Because if Dong Bai is forced out of the palace with Dong Bai as a hostage, his whereabouts will inevitably be exposed.
After that, not only will he be followed, but it is also very likely that the search range of the pursuers will be expanded from the palace to the entire Luoyang, which will be extremely unfavorable for him to go out of the city in the next step.
So after weighing the pros and cons, he still chose to pretend to be a eunuch, intending to sneak out of the palace unconsciously.
Seeing that he was about to meet the guards, Hua Xing stepped forward and whispered in Dong Bai's ear:
"Wait a minute, just nod your head. If you play tricks again, beware of me tearing up tickets! ”
Although he didn't know what "tearing the ticket" meant, Dong Bai could guess that it was not a good thing, so he nodded slightly to show that he understood.
Then, accompanied by Huaxing, he walked to the palace gate.
"Who is coming...... Oops? Isn't this Weiyang-kun? The last general, Han Nanwei, failed to meet him from afar, and hoped that the county monarch would forgive his sins! ”
Captain Han, who was guarding the Nangong Gate, recognized Dong Bai at a glance, and greeted respectfully while saluting.
"Bold!"
Seeing that the general just saluted, but had no intention of giving way, Hua Xing immediately took a step forward and said in his throat:
"Weiyangjun wants to go out of the palace to relax, and he still won't give way?"
Han Nan knew that Dong Bai had a special identity, and he couldn't afford to offend. But at the same time, he also knew that he had a duty and could not easily let people out of the palace, so he had to smile shyly:
"Hehe, this father-in-law, martial law in the palace has been imposed recently, can you show the last general the holy edict?"
"Oracle?" Huaxing said with a displeased face:
"Humph! Weiyang Jun still needs an edict when he leaves the palace? Are you tired of being crooked? Get out of the way, or ...... No mercy! After speaking, Huaxing bowed and stretched out his arms, signaling for Dong Bai to break through directly!
Seeing so many soldiers on duty here, Dong Bai's mind also had the idea of asking for help.
But thinking about it carefully, Huaxing was only half a step away from herself, and even if she called for help on the spot, it would be difficult to escape from the clutches.
Moreover, she is also disabled, and her "call for help" may not be understood by others, and it is likely that the call will be in vain.
Taking a step back, even if the officers and soldiers understood their cries for help, Huaxing only needed to hold a dagger against his neck, and he could still get out of the palace safely.
At that time, Dong Bai will not be able to be rescued except for suffering more flesh and skin.
So after thinking twice, she still gave up the struggle and walked forward according to Huaxing's instructions.
Seeing that Dong Bai had no hand to force him out of the palace, Han Nan, who was guarding the door, was worried on the spot.
Stop it, right? Doesn't seem right.
Dong Bai is in the palace, which is notoriously difficult to mess with!
Those who dare to provoke her will either die or be sent to the frontier, and none of them will end well.
Although Dong Zhuo is deceased, the Dong family is not as good as before, but the signboard of "Weiyang Jun" is a gift from the Holy Lord, and he is still a small gatekeeper who still can't afford to offend. You asked him to stop it, but he really didn't have the guts.
But if you don't stop it, you will violate the military order!
Once it is found out, he will definitely be punished, not to mention the deduction, and may be demoted.
Thinking of this, Han Nan sighed secretly and fell into a dilemma.
"Captain, what should I do? We're making ...... Still, or ......" Seeing Dong Bai getting closer and closer, Vice Captain Wang Ge asked in a low voice.
"That's it, that's it, releasing people is at most punished. But if you stop it...... I'm afraid I'm going to lose my life. Alas! Let the brothers let it go! ”
With the order of the Han team, the soldiers quickly gave way to a passage, and let Dong and Hua walk out of the palace gate.
But just a few steps out of the palace gate, I saw the gray-robed "little eunuch" suddenly point to a carriage parked on the side of the road and ask:
"Captain Han, come here! This car...... Whose is it? ”
A trot came to the two, Han Nan glanced at the carriage, and replied respectfully:
"This is Su Shaofu's carriage, he is running errands nearby, and he is temporarily parked here."
"Oh! Recently, the security in the city is not good, and I am afraid that there is danger when I go out on foot, this car ...... We requisitioned. ”
After speaking, regardless of whether the other party agreed or not, Hua Xing stepped forward and drove the horseman down, invited Dong Bai into the car, picked up the horsewhip himself, and drove to the west of the city.
……
Successfully out of the palace, Huaxing was not in a hurry to get out of the city, but first found a remote place to park the car.
In order to prevent Dong Bai from playing tricks in the car alone, he not only tied the other party to the chair, but also tied Dong Bai's hands and feet, and then returned to the driver's seat and drove all the way west.
Twenty minutes later, Huaxing drove to Lufu, located in the west of the city.
He wanted to meet Lu Pu before leaving the city.
But as soon as he arrived at the mansion, he felt that something was not right, and a team of officers and soldiers stood in front of the Lu mansion, blocking the gate.
Seeing this, Huaxing didn't dare to stop, but went around and drove towards the back door of the Lu Mansion.
But the result is the same as the main gate, and the back door is also guarded by soldiers, and he can't enter if he wants to.
Seeing this, Huaxing couldn't help frowning:
Why is there an officer and soldier guarding the Lu Mansion? I've never seen it before!
Is it providing protection? Or is it ...... Something happened to Lu Pu?
In order to find out the situation, Huaxing decided to explore the reality.
After stopping the car, I saw him step down from the car with the pride of his father-in-law, and said to the soldier with his voice in his voice:
"Weiyangjun arrived, don't hurry up to greet him!"
After speaking, he also lifted the curtain of the carriage and revealed Dong Bai's face.
Seeing that it was really Weiyang Jun sitting in the car, all the generals saluted.
At the same time, a soldier with a higher rank also ran in front of Hua Xing and said with a flattering smile:
"The last general, Tan Yong, was ordered to garrison the Lu Mansion. I don't know if Weiyang Jun has arrived, what are you doing? ”
"Weiyang-jun has something to discuss with Lord Lu, so you can quickly retreat." Huaxing said undoubtedly.
"Oops, this...... The last will be forgiven! Tan Yong said with a look of embarrassment:
"Moreover, even if the last general gives way, the county monarch will not be able to see Lord Lu."
"Oh? Why? ”
"Father-in-law doesn't know, Lord Lu is now wanted, and the mansion has been sealed by Lord Tingwei."
"What?"
As soon as he heard that Lu Pu was wanted and the courtyard was sealed, Hua Xing immediately said with a solemn face:
"What's the matter?"
Tan Yong replied with a regretful face:
"Alas! It's not because I'm too close to the Nahua devil! ”
