Yuan Jiuding's family was the first to go out of the city, but he forgot that although the city gate was closed, there were still many people outside the city, some of whom fled into the city, and the other part chose to flee to the east of Hangu Pass early. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Walking out of the land of less than ten miles, the carriage of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Officials fell into the crowd, the herd of cars, and the herd of cattle and horses, and could only follow a little bit of rubbing forward.

Mrs. Yuan was anxious and angry, lifted the curtain and glanced outside, turned to her husband who was sitting in the innermost part of the carriage and said, "Lord Shangshu, open a way for us." ”

Yuan Jiuding panicked and hurriedly said: "Don't say the word 'Shangshu', be careful of causing trouble." ”

Yuan Jiuding didn't dare to bring too many people, only a wife, two sons and three grandchildren, his daughter-in-law was left in the capital, called a housekeeper, and an entourage and five coachmen, five cars carrying a lot of valuables, so he couldn't be careless.

He originally planned to arrive in Luoyang all the way, with a new home and new servants, but he didn't expect to be trapped halfway.

A son came in and was about to speak, but Yuan Jiuding said sternly: "Don't mention me to anyone, understand?" ”

The son nodded, lowered the curtain, and said nothing.

Although it is slow, it is still moving forward in the end, and the Yuan family is anxious, but they are helpless.

In the afternoon of the next day, a group of soldiers came from the capital, ordering all the people to move to the right side of the road, giving up half of the road to the "nobles".

The fleeing people hurriedly gave way, and the already congested road was even more crowded, and they could still move forward slowly, but now they are all standing on the side of the road and watching.

"It must be the queen moving the palace." Yuan Jiuding guessed.

"Oh, great, you show your identity, let's go to see the queen, follow the team, it's better than being mixed in with the people." Mrs. Yuan was overjoyed.

Yuan Jiuding couldn't be happy, and lowered his voice and said: "I'm going out of the city without permission, how can I show my identity?" ”

Mrs. Yuan's willow eyebrows were raised, "Didn't you say that the Prime Minister will definitely give you a reissue order to leave the city?" What's so scary? ”

"At the time, I felt very sure, but now that I think about it, it may be a bit of a big ......."

"It's really useless, I'll go and say, as long as I find Wang Cuilian, I don't believe she dares to refuse."

"Wang Cuilian is a confidant of the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother doesn't leave, how can she leave?"

Mrs. Yuan sneered, "The Queen Mother is just making a show, I don't believe she dares to stay in the capital." ”

Yuan Jiuding pondered for a moment, "Call the boss, I'll tell him." ”

The patriarch leaned in, listened to his father's face-to-face instruction, and quickly turned around and squeezed out of the crowd to find an officer who could speak.

There are not many soldiers who open the road, and there are no people everywhere, but there are often cavalry galloping back and forth on the road, and the people are afraid that the officials are used to it, and no one dares to cross the line.

Not believing that he was a common man, he crossed the middle of the road, came to the left, and waved his hands at a group of galloping horsemen to attract their attention.

The cavalry immediately noticed the bold "Diao Min", and one of them came with a whip.

"May I ask who is leading the team......

Before the patriarch finished speaking, the cavalry whipped him and shouted, "Stand back!" ”

The son of the Yuan family was whipped on the head, his face hurt hotly, he screamed, hurriedly retreated to the right side, covered his face with both hands, was so angry that he couldn't control it much, and said loudly: "My father is Lord Feng, the secretary of the ministry......"

The cavalry flung another whip, "No noise." ”

The son of the Yuan family was whipped again, put down his hand and looked, there was a long bloody rin on the back of his hand, and he was about to seep blood, how could he suffer like this, he glanced at the soldier in horror, and wanted to threaten, the other party glared, he was timid first, and immediately took two steps back and entered the crowd of people.

The cavalry returned and continued to move forward to maintain order.

An old man said to the son of the Yuan family: "Child, is it the first time you go out?" The people don't fight with the officials, bear with it, and when the nobles pass, we can go on the road. ”

"I'm not a citizen, my father is an official, a big official!" The patriarch shouted angrily, turned around and rushed to his father's carriage.

The old man shook his head and said to the others: "At first glance, he is a foreigner, he is a small official in his hometown, and he thought he was very big when he arrived in the capital, but he turned out to be the same as us, and he couldn't walk here." ”

Everyone who heard it laughed.

The son of the Yuan family couldn't laugh, and when he opened the sedan curtain, his whole body was trembling, "I was beaten, mother, look, on my face and hands." Father, I know that this is a soldier from the Tiger Camp, you have to avenge me......"

Mrs. Yuan was distressed and anxious, but Yuan Jiuding was only annoyed, "Useless guy, you can't even understand a sentence, get out." ”

The patriarch and son retreated in disagreement.

"Your son is beaten, you don't care!"

"Can I manage it? No one here recognizes me, wait, when the team passes, let's take a look and shout when we see acquaintances. ”

Mrs. Yuan couldn't, so she had to nod.

Half an hour later, the procession of the palace finally arrived, and the people by the roadside took a few steps back obediently, and many knelt down, and those who did not kneel behind the carts, oxen, and horses.

Only the Yuan family was an exception, the two sons raised the curtain, and the Yuan Jiuding husband and wife knelt at the door of the carriage, stretching their necks to look at the team on the road.

The vanguard is a team of honor drivers, even if they flee, the royal pomp and circumstance cannot be small.

The ceremonial drive was followed by a fleet of splendid carriages, at least fifty of them, and no one could tell which belonged to the queen and which belonged to the maiden, and the curtains of the carriages were so dense that they could not see each other inside and outside.

It was a little dark, the husband and wife couldn't see clearly, the team was almost halfway over, and they didn't see any acquaintances.

Mrs. Yuan was anxious first, and shouted loudly: "Yuan Jiuding, the secretary of the ministry, is ...... here."

The road was filled with the sound of horses' hooves and wheels, and her voice was drowned out so that only those nearby could hear it, and several people kneeling on the ground turned around and looked at her sternly, their eyes full of warning.

Yuan Jiuding's eyes lit up, "Ning Su, isn't that Ning Su, the general of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion?" ”

"Don't scream yet." Mrs. Yuan urged.

Yuan Jiuding cleared his throat and said loudly: "General Ning, General Ning!" General Ning!! It's me! ”

Ning Su turned his head and glanced at it, his face was expressionless, his gaze did not stop on the faces of the Yuan family and his wife, and he actually walked away.

Yuan Jiuding was dumbfounded.

Mrs. Yuan said angrily: "He saw you, he obviously saw it, Ning Su's nephew can be the county commander, or you arranged it......"

Seeing that the team was about to finish, Yuan Jiuding couldn't help it, and raised his arms, "I'm Yuan Jiu ......"

Several people on the left and right got up at the same time and pushed the Yuan couple and their two sons into the carriage, and a fierce-looking man whispered: "Be honest, don't make trouble for everyone." ”

The family of four was frightened by this person and hid in the carriage and did not dare to move.

Yuan Jiuding was particularly frightened, he was admitted to the Jinshi when he was young, and soon became an official, and his career may not go well, but he has never left the officialdom, and he has long forgotten what the life of ordinary people is like, and now he understands what a serious mistake he has made, leaving the court, he is nothing.

The carriage actually moved, and the two sons of the Yuan family jumped down to check, and quickly replied: "The team in the palace has passed. ”

Yuan Jiuding nodded, his heart empty.

Mrs. Yuan would only complain that Ning Su was ruthless.

"Let's go to Luoyang first." Yuan Jiuding slowly came back to his senses, "It's useless to shout on the road, when you get to Luoyang, restore contact with the palace through the Zeng family, if Zhuo Ruhe reissues the order, everything will be fine, if not, you have to find a way to get the approval of the queen mother and the queen." When the time comes, I need you to come forward, don't be stingy with gold, silver and jewelry, as long as my position can be kept, everything will be there. ”

"Ning Su is unforgivable, I don't care about anything else, adults must teach Ning Su a lesson in the future."

Yuan Jiuding laughed a few times.

The speed of travel is still very slow, the Yuan family car is many and heavy, so the speed is slower than others, after ten days, finally arrived at Hangu Pass, after passing the pass, the people are diverted to various places, and the road should be smoother.

Yuan Jiuding has been more cautious recently, and asked his son to go to the city gate to inquire about the situation first.

The eldest son is also much more honest, and even changed out of his fancy clothes and changed to ordinary clothes.

After a long time, the eldest son returned, lifted the car curtain, jumped directly into the carriage, and then quickly pulled the curtain down, with a panicked face.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Jiuding felt ominous.

"Don't you let you pass?" Mrs. Yuan was also a little scared.

"You can pass the level, but you have to check your face one by one, on the city wall...... The wall of the city was attached to the head of his father. ”

The husband and wife were stunned, and Mrs. Yuan scolded: "Bastard, how can you talk?" ”

The eldest son hurriedly waved his hand, "No, it's not right, it's a portrait, father...... Father is wanted! ”

Mrs. Yuan was taken aback, and Yuan Jiuding was even more pale, muttering: "Zhuo Ruhe is so ruthless, really ruthless." ”

"Zhuo Ruhe communiqués personal vendetta, let's ...... Let's go and sue the royal court. Mrs. Yuan said so, but she didn't have any bottom in her heart.

The coachman asked outside, "Lord Yuan, are you still leaving?" ”

Yuan Jiuding was shocked again, the coachman and his entourage knew their true identity, if it was leaked...... He said to his wife, "I'll go out and see." ”

"My lord, there's a picture of you on the wall." Mrs. Yuan grabbed her husband's sleeve.

"It's okay, I have my own way." Yuan Jiuding pretended to be calm and got out of the car.

Mrs. Yuan said to her eldest son, "Don't worry, your father has a way. ”

The two sons of the Yuan family were riding horses, and Yuan Jiuding jumped on the horse of the eldest son, and was about to leave, when he saw the second son looking at him blankly not far away, so he beckoned him to come over and whispered: "Don't squeak, follow me." ”

The second son nodded, obediently followed behind his father, and was surprised to find that his father did not enter Hangu Pass, but went the other way.

There are still many people on the road, and it is even more difficult to go against the current, but the father and son are still getting farther and farther away from their families.

The second son couldn't help but ask, "Father, where are we going?" ”

"Don't ask." Yuan Jiuding said coldly, urging the horse forward as much as possible.

After nightfall, the road was a little easier, Yuan Jiuding kept going, no matter how the second son asked, he didn't speak, and he didn't even want to stop waiting, and the second son almost couldn't catch up with his father several times.

After midnight, there was a sudden commotion on the road, and everywhere people shouted: "The enemy is coming!" ”

The second son was frightened and kept calling his father, Yuan Jiuding didn't listen at all, but urged the horse to run faster, the second son refused to chase, turned the horse's head, and ran in the direction of Hangu Pass with the people.

Yuan Jiuding didn't look back, just rode his horse and galloped, there were fewer and fewer people in front of him, and his speed was getting faster and faster.

The horse couldn't stand this way of running, and suddenly fell forward, throwing the owner on his back far away, Yuan Jiuding got up, didn't look at the horse, and didn't care whether there were injuries on his body, and ran forward desperately.

There was no one on the road anymore, and Yuan Jiuding was so tired that he was out of breath, but he was still running.

The sky was bright, and a group of soldiers appeared in front of them, dressed and armed with strange weapons, obviously not the Chu army.

"I am the minister of the State of Chu! I give up! I give up! Yuan Jiuding shouted loudly.

The soldiers on the opposite side were indifferent, and Yuan Jiuding suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he stopped and turned to look.

There was also an army behind him, I don't know when it caught up, the flag fluttered in the morning sun, and he recognized at a glance the yellow dragon flag that only an emperor could have.
