Fan Yang's army shook the imperial court, and Prime Minister Zhang's prophecy came true many years ago, but this was to no avail, and the imperial court pinned its hopes on the local festival to make the envoys loyal to the imperial court, and resist the rebels in the land of Yan Zhao east of the eastern capital, so as not to let it capture Luoyang, resulting in a direct approach to Chang'an.

In the first few days, the people did not know that something big had happened in the world, and then they saw the post horses on the post road running back and forth, and they were all thousands of miles in a hurry, only to come from the east to send some information, only then did they know that the east Fan Yang Festival was reversed, under the banner of "worrying about the danger of the country", leading 200,000 horses to come to Chang'an. This is a unique thing since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Chengping has been peaceful for more than 100 years, only there are some wars in the frontier, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

There is also news that the army led by An Lushan is all Hu people, who are thirsty for killing, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil, and many assassins and county orders abandoned the city and fled. These news led to a lot of discussions and rumors in Qinglong Town. In addition, Duguyue has disappeared recently, and it is said that An Lushan's spies have infiltrated a long time ago, otherwise there have been so many things in recent months? The post chief is afraid that his life will not be guaranteed.

And Duguyue in the cave of Nanshan was tied tightly by ropes, although Yu Wenlan did not be violent to her, she also looked at her all the time, and even went to the toilet, she followed closely. The mute who did not change his life still wanted to take advantage of Yu Wenlan's negligence to attack Dugu Yue, but Yu Wen Lan did not let him succeed, which made Du Gu Yue have a good impression of this Hu girl.

I don't know how long it took, but my eyes were still blindfolded, and I couldn't support it anymore and fell asleep on the wheat stalks.

Then she fell asleep, but the dream was surprisingly quiet, she rode a wind-chasing horse and strolled along the Wei River, peach and willow green, green grass. From time to time, the chasing horse lowered his head to take a bite of the shepherd's cabbage on the ground and chewed it slowly in his mouth. In the spring of March, but the people who did not go out of the green really missed such a beautiful day, she thought inadvertently in her heart. Looking further west, in the land of Guanzhong, wheat seedlings are growing wildly in the field, and turtledoves are also frolicking and leaping in the wheat field in groups. She walked and stopped, thinking how good it would be to meet a handsome boy, today she was wearing a red dress, a green jacket, a white scarf, a green saddle, and there was no horizontal knife around her waist. She thought, this kind of outfit must be beautiful and moving, unlike when she was young, she wanted to be a ranger, just be a quiet woman, this spring is so good, people are intoxicated and forget to return.

She suddenly remembered, what about Yongyue? Looking back, Yongyue was quietly gnawing on the grass after a hundred and ten steps away from her. It's good to close your eyes and slowly inhale the damp breath from the east into your stomach and exhale it repeatedly. This is a type of qigong taught to her by her father, which is used to regulate pranayama in the midst of impatience and complexity.

A gust of wind blew, as if it was blowing from the side of Zhongnan Mountain, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, with silk clouds in the wind, as if stained with fairy energy. Father said that there are immortals in Zhongnan Mountain, and Lao Tzu went out of Hangu to enter Zhongnan Mountain, saying that he had cultivated and turned into immortals. When she was a child, she always wondered why Lao Tzu wanted to go west to Hangu? Where did Lao Tzu go to the valley of the west?

Just as he was thinking about it, an old man came in the wind, the old man was gray-haired, dressed in white, with a deer-headed cane and a gourd hanging on it. Although the old man has white hair, he is fairy-winded and bone-like, and he walks neither humbly nor arrogantly. When he walked towards Duguyue, he kept smiling, and that smile made people look irresistibly comfortable and calm.

She dismounted and waited respectfully for the old man by the side of the road, so that he could go first. The old man walked to his side and suddenly asked, "Little lady, where do you want to go?" ”

"Sir, I'm idle, just come out and get some air."

"Hehe, can I ask the little lady, how to go to Guojiazhuang?"

"Oh, Guojiazhuang, ten miles to the east, there is a Zhuangzi, and there is a Gongsun tree surrounded by six people in front of the village."

"Ahh There's still ten miles to go. The old man can't walk. ”

"Sir, don't worry, I am a person from Guojiazhuang, there are two horses, please take one of them, and I will send Mr. over."

"Haha! Thank you lady for your kindness, old and not good at riding."

"But didn't you, sir, say you can't walk? I see you're in good spirits. ”

"It's a little hard to walk. There is a blind man in Guojiazhuang who borrowed a tael of silver from me forty years ago and has not repaid it yet. I came to him today to ask for it. ”

"Blind Guo, he was gone a few years ago, I'm afraid he won't be able to pay your taels."

"Little lady, how is this good? I walked fifty or sixty miles to get here, and you told him he was gone. The white-haired old man found a piece of the ridge and sat down with some eagerness.

Duguyue looked at the old man with a smile, but now she was so embarrassed, and she didn't know what to do for a while. Suddenly, when she saw Yongyue, she had a thought in her heart. After thinking about it, he said to the old man, "Old man, you came from the mountains, and it is not easy for you to walk for such a long time. I am from Guojiazhuang, and Guo is blind from my clan. Look at my horse, I bought it for five taels of silver, or you can bring it back. ”

"How can this be done?" The old man waved his hand.

"Make, make."

"Little lady, the old man has a reluctant request. If you give me a horse, give it this one that you hold in your hand. How about keeping the horse behind you for yourself? ”

"But this one is my favorite!"

"I know you like this one, but it's not your horse anymore."

"But it's my horse."

The old man still smiled and said, "This is really not your horse, let him follow me." ”

"What a strange thing you say, old sir. Since you like this horse, I can't bear to cut my love, so you can take this horse. With that, he handed the reins over.

The old man held the reins in his hand, and another gust of wind blew, and there were still traces of clouds in the wind. The old man walked and disappeared. Just as Duguyue was standing there in a daze, she suddenly woke up.

She was pleasantly surprised to find that the black cloth covering her eyes was gone, but what she could see was still black, but it seemed that she was no longer in the cave, and her body was covered with thick wheat stalks. Move, there is no rope on your body. The horizontal knife was placed on one side, and then I touched my clothes, which was very complete.

Where would it be if it wasn't in a cave? She got up and looked at how she felt the ground shake. At this time, she heard the mountain wind howling, she pulled a hole to the side, and saw that there were branches and leaves outside, and there was snow on it, she figured it out, it turned out that this was a tree house.

Who saved her from this strange dream? She didn't dare to think about it, she just wanted to go back to town early. Just as she found the door of the tree house and glanced down, she saw that the house was at least a dozen feet above the ground, surrounded by trees, and she didn't know where she was now. Instead of scurrying down the trees, it's better to spend the night here and wait until dawn to make plans.

Back in the wheat-straw house, it was really warm and comfortable, she was thinking about the dream she had just had, I don't know how long it had been, how many days had she had been here. But at least it can be shown that there is still a master hidden in Qinglong Town, who always saves her when she is in danger. Who is this man? She thought about everyone she could think of, and she thought it was impossible? Is it really a fairy?

Thinking about it, her hand touched something next to her, poked it, it looked like something wrapped in lotus leaves, she quickly took it and opened it, put it in front of her nose and smelled it, it turned out to be a roast chicken, and her stomach was hungry and thirsty. Hurriedly pulled a chicken leg and ate it.

I ate so fast that I choked in my throat. This made her uncomfortable, she couldn't spit it out, she couldn't swallow it, and her chest hurt. If you don't drink a sip of water, how can you go down, but where can you find water? When she was pulling her hand around, it seemed to touch a leather bag, so she quickly picked it up, fumbled for the stopper, pulled it out, poured a mouthful of water, and finally swallowed it.

After lying down and gasping for breath, after calming down, he continued to chew the roast chicken. Although the weather was cold, the roast chicken was delicious, chewed and swallowed slowly for half an hour, the whole chicken was eaten clean, she threw bones outside while eating, and when she ate the last piece, she suddenly remembered how she had made such a fatal mistake. So, I was nervous, thinking that I was finally rescued by a master, and I was so casual that I might be imprisoned again.

Soon she heard something under the tree growling, like a cat's meow, but deeper than the cat's voice. She began to think that it was a bobcat, hoping it would take the bones. But something was wrong, there were obviously claws grabbing the tree, shaking the tree. Could it be a tiger? The cry is not like it, she has seen the Orion catch the injured tiger, and the roar can be carried for ten miles. So it could be a leopard, and a leopard can climb trees. If you climb up, it will not be difficult to get into this tree house. But she has also eaten a full meal, resurrected with full blood, and has a horizontal knife in her hand, so it is not a problem to deal with a leopard, I am afraid that in the process of the leopard fight, she will make a loud noise, so that Yu Wenlan and the dumb man can hear the message, and if they chase here, it will be troublesome.

Just thinking about it, there was some noise in the forest, and after a while, there was a leopard's scream, and then seven or eight torches came to the tree one after another, Duguyue's heart rose to her throat, and she didn't dare to move. Someone under the tree said, "My lord, the leopard shot dead." "He spoke as if he were dumb.

"Carry it back, skin it to make a leopard fur coat, and give it to the general."

The voice was faint and intermittent.

"My lord, we have been looking in the mountains for two days and two nights, can it be that Duguyue has grown wings and flies."

Duguyue heard that she had been hiding in this tree house for two days and two nights.

"She's definitely still in the mountains. If we are not in the mountains, we will definitely return to Qinglong Town, then we will not have good fruits to eat. She now knows who I am, and how to catch her again. It's all you two stupid people, and you can't even look down on a person. ”

"My lord, we are to blame for this, for some reason, we fell asleep as if we had been magically cast." It should be Yu Wenlan who speaks.

"It's all you, I said I'm going to do the dominatrix, but you don't let it, now it's okay. The boiled duck flew. ”

"You, then why don't you watch it. Now that she's done, I'm not stopping you. ”

……

"Alright, stop arguing. Go and look for them, and look at the footprints in the snow. ”

……

"This dog leopard still has a chicken bone in his mouth. Where are you going to eat chicken? The mute seemed to be carrying a leopard that had been shot to death, and scolded stupidly.

After coming over for a long time, Duguyue made sure that there was no sound under the tree before she exhaled softly.

The next day I was woken up by the sound of a thrush, and it was already dawn, and after the snow the sun shone on the trees the snow began to dissolve and fall. Only then did she take a closer look at the treehouse, which was a large pine tree that only two people could hug, with lush branches and leaves, and the treehouse was about seven or eight feet above the ground. The builders skillfully threaded rattan between the branches, covered with pine needles, and covered with bark to protect them from rain. The other side is wrapped in rattan, leaving only a hole for one person to enter and exit, and some wheat straw is piled inside, which is comfortable and warm. In addition, there are pine trees all around, so even if someone walks underneath, it is difficult for anyone to notice that this pine tree is different from other pine trees.

Duguyue looked around the treehouse through the gaps, and then opened the branches and looked in the west and south directions, all of which were reckless jungles and high mountains. And look further east, in the valley not far away, there is a little cooking smoke, which seems to have the atmosphere of the city, and I think it should be Qinglong Town. In the past few months, in order to investigate the whereabouts of the mail truck, she has walked on the mountain roads on the east and west sides of Qinglong Town, but she is not standing on a high place like today and can see those mountains clearly.

"It's so close that immediately get out of the trees, through the jungle, and back into town. Gather people and horses to arrest Murong Cheng and the others, this time you can't let him run away. Duguyue thought so and decided to get off the tree immediately. But when you get out of the tree house and stand on the branches, there are no ropes and ladders, and you are a few feet high, even if you do a good job, you can't jump to the ground without injury. That's a lot of work. I muttered to myself, "How did the man carry me from the cave to this treehouse?" ”

So I went back to the treehouse and rummaged around to see if there were ropes or anything like that. In the wheat straw bushes, I found a bag, which seemed to contain something, and hurriedly turned it out to look at it carefully, and it turned out to be a note, which was written: "If you want to go down from the tree, cross from the big branch on the left side of the house to another, and then go down to seven." Down to the ground, to the north, along every pine tree with knife marks, you can get to, you can be safe. ”

"This man is really thoughtful." So he stretched his muscles, tied a straw rope to his back, and according to the note, crossed from the branch of the tree in the tree house to another tree, and the branch of the other tree joined another branch, until the seventh tree was only a little more than a foot above the ground, and there were branches on the trunk, and it fell to the ground easily. On the ground, she looked up at the treehouse, and if she didn't look closely, she really couldn't see any movement. It's ingenious.

She didn't dare to stay long, so she bent her waist and quickly walked along the scarred tree, not a mountain path, but there were no thorns and weeds to block it. About half an hour, I have arrived at the back of Qinglong Town, in front of me is a backyard, separated by a high wooden fence, there are pigeons in the yard, and I see a living person coming, "Gollum!" Grunt, scream. The back door of the courtyard creaked open, and a woman in red silk came out. When I looked closely, it turned out to be Nangong Yue.
