Chapter 67: On the eve of the mutiny
It was a difficult weekend for them, and all their horses were tethered outside the temple.
Although the cavalry of the Tang army was not good at horse archery, they were also equipped with bows and arrows.
If the three of them rushed out to find their horses and escape now, even if these people outside the temple wanted to catch them alive, it would not be difficult to kill them and cut them with all hands and feet, so that they would lose the ability to escape.
He looked at Su Yuan and wanted to ask her if there was anything she could do.
The county lord of Suyuan is also worried. Killing the scout team and looking for herbs in front of her has basically exhausted her energy, and now although she has time to meditate and cultivate, it is like hugging the Buddha's feet in battle, chatting about ***, but it has no obvious effect.
She thought for a moment, met the eyes of the weekend, and said, "Otherwise, let's pretend to surrender first, kill a few after we go out, grab the horses, and then break through the encirclement?" ”
Weekend shook his head and said, "Even if you and I can kill people and take horses, Xu Qu can't do martial arts, and his safety can't be guaranteed, what if those people catch him and threaten us when the time comes?" ”
"The old shopkeeper, you and the county lord are not ordinary people, it is easy to get out of trouble with your ability, it is I who dragged you down, my life is saved by the old shopkeeper, I can live to this day, I have earned it, if the situation is urgent, don't worry about me, otherwise, let you be in danger, I... I deserve death! Xu Qu didn't expect that he was actually a burden to everyone, so he hurriedly interjected to express his heart.
Weekend looked at him comfortingly, and said, "Everyone has a different role at different times, you didn't drag us down, before, if you hadn't carried me to the woods, I would have fallen into the hands of those people outside." In short, Xu Go, don't worry, believe me, we will have a way to take you out safely. ”
Speaking of this, he had an idea, and turned his head to discuss with the county lord of Suyuan: "Actually, we don't need to have a hard time with those people outside, we can pretend to surrender first, as you said, we are going to find my sister-in-law Yuhuan on this trip anyway, so it is better to plan and go to the emperor with them, and by the way, we can also understand what the situation in Yuhuan is now, and then make plans." ”
"Come out and surrender quickly, the emperor's request is alive, we will give us a chance, persuade you to surrender, if you don't know how to lift up, we will be unwelcome!" Just as they were discussing, threatening words from outside came again.
"If you have the ability, come in, we'll wait!" Xu Qu was angry that he couldn't do anything at this time, so he sprinkled his anger on those people outside, and yelled at them with all his might.
What was strange was that after Xu Qu finished roaring, those cavalrymen suddenly fell silent.
Weekend sneaked up to the window and looked around, and found that they had formed a complete encirclement, with two of the scouts walking back and forth twice, as if to check if there was anything missing from the area that would make it easier for them to escape.
After a while, they obviously had a bottom in their hearts, and they didn't rush into the temple to arrest them, but directly sat down on the ground in batches and began to rest.
It seems that there are smart people in the cavalry.
When they searched back, they may have just found that the county lord of Suyuan had slipped into the temple, and they didn't know that they and Xu Qu had also slipped back, but after seeing that the county lord of Suyuan had come in, they didn't go out again, and they guessed in their hearts that they and Xu Qu were very likely to be there, so they surrounded the temple and bluffed.
Anyway, their task is to arrest people, and now, the three of them are surrounded by them, and they can't run, they rush to catch them, and they are afraid that if they accidentally hurt the three of them, they will be punished, so they wait outside for the three of them to figure it out, if the three of them try to rush out at this time, take the road and escape, it will become a stubborn resistance, and at that time, they will have enough reasons for the three of them to do it.
It's really calculating.
Zhou went to secretly admire.
However, after thinking about this, he naturally wouldn't be fooled, and hurriedly told his analysis to Lord Suyuan and Xu, and at the same time, according to the actual situation that his water and food are currently very sufficient, he planned to stay in the temple obediently and consume with the guys outside, so as not to adapt to all changes.
It's a pity that until the evening, there was no waiting for Tang Xuanzong's large army to flee, there may be something wrong on the way, it stands to reason that the rapid march can reach Ma Weiyi at this time.
On the weekend, the trio decided to sneak out quietly while the defense was tired at night.
Well, the defense was tighter at night, and besides, the guys took their horses away.
It is estimated that the large amount of copper coins in the sack of the horseback has also been divided.
The county lord of Suyuan had to seize the time to meditate and recover, after all, she was currently the strongest in battle, and she was the key to the escape link.
On the weekend, he and Xu went to stay at the door and take turns to rest, afraid that if he accidentally fell asleep, he would be tied up early the next morning.
It wasn't until nearly noon the next day that Tang Xuanzong's escape convoy was late.
Although on the run, the convoy was still as luxurious as a royal trip.
The carriage in the middle was very tall and spacious, and from a distance you could see the gold threads on the brocade curtain glittering in the sunlight.
The convoy was surrounded by hundreds of forbidden troops, and it was tightly protected.
On the weekend, I faintly heard an old voice coming from the carriage, "Where is Collis?" The person in the portrait, where he is now, bring it quickly. ”
An entourage dressed in eunuch clothes came to the carriage, presumably the stinking Gao Lishi, and he replied respectfully, "The two teams of cavalry sent by the emperor have surrounded the temple in front of us, as long as we capture him." ”
"That's my Tang National Teacher, don't be rude, General Chen, you go and invite Zhou Guoshi out." Tang Xuanzong, who was in the carriage, looked at Chen Xuanli, the general outside the carriage, and ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes." Chen Xuanli immediately led the order to the temple.
It's not dry for the weekend.
This Tang Xuanzong is also boring enough, he can send people to surround me, and he still comes to this kind of coy behavior, what's the point?
He deliberately didn't give Tang Xuanzong a chance, and when Chen Rang took a step, he didn't hesitate to stride out of the temple, "I'll come by myself, don't bother!" ”
"Sure enough, it's a national teacher!" Tang Xuanzong was very impressed by the weekend, and when he heard his long-lost voice, he immediately stepped out of the carriage excitedly.
The handsome young man walking in front of him is not Yang Yuhuan's righteous brother Weekend, who is it?
He doesn't look the same as he did more than 20 years ago, if there is a change, it is that his demeanor and charm have changed: more than 20 years ago, when he saw himself, his eyes were quite curious and restrained, and today, more than 20 years later, when he sees himself, his eyes are full of confidence and calmness!
In this way, he not only made Tang Xuanzong feel the hope of immortality for the first time, but also gave birth to envy and awe from the bottom of his heart.
And Tang Xuanzong's Gao Lishi and Chen Xuanli have actually not seen the weekend, but they have only seen his portrait and heard rumors about him, and now they really see this legendary weekend, and at the same time see Tang Xuanzong so excited for the first time, they dare to believe that the rumors are true, looking at the weekend, and at the same time, they also have envy and awe from the bottom of their hearts.
On the weekend, he didn't bother to observe Gao Lishi and Chen Xuanli, he walked along the way and found that there had been no movement of Yang Yuhuan in Tang Xuanzong's carriage, and he was a little worried about Yang Yuhuan's safety.
He walked a few steps, stood still in front of Tang Xuanzong, and did not salute, and asked directly without being arrogant or humble, "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for more than 20 years, I don't know where my sister-in-law Yang Yuhuan is?" ”
