Chapter 265: Separation and Reunion
A hearty night passed, and when the next day was slightly bright, Yang Guang was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Childe, the lord commanded, please come to the council chamber and see you." In a drowsy mood, Yang Guang vaguely recognized that the person talking outside the door was still the young maid who delivered the meal yesterday.
An Ruoxi also woke up, and hurriedly got up to serve Yang Guang to change clothes and wash. Yang Guang saw that she was wearing thin clothes when she went to the ground, so he pulled a robe and draped it over her shoulders.
"Lord Wang, General Yang summoned him to the council hall so early to meet, I think it was most likely that Gongzi Yu and they arrived from Huazhou." An Ruoxi said to him while helping Yang Guang put on the brocade robe.
"While it's still early, after I'm gone, you can go to bed and sleep for a while, don't get up in a hurry." After last night, for Yang Guang, the relationship between him and An Ruoxi has changed substantially, so he said to her thoughtfully.
The young servant followed Yang Guang outside the door, and the two followed each other through the corridor and courtyard to the council hall located in another courtyard. As soon as he walked into the courtyard door of the conference hall, Yang Guang saw that Jiang Tuozi, the old gardener in his house, was sitting alone in the courtyard, glancing back at the hall from time to time.
"Jiang Tuozi, when did you arrive?" After experiencing all kinds of things like getting lost in the mountains and straying into a thief's den, Yang Guang saw Jiang Tuozi again, seemed very happy, walked forward quickly, and greeted him.
"Wang ......" Jiang Tuozi looked up and saw that it was Yang Guang, so he stood up, only said a word Wang, and immediately found that Yang Guang was followed by a young servant, so Shengsheng swallowed back a word that had never been spoken, and replied with a smile, "The old man and the young man have just arrived with Yu Gongzi." A few of them are talking to the lord here in the hall. ”
When the young servant heard that the old servant in front of him called himself an old man in front of his son-in-law, he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Tuozi in surprise, and for a while he couldn't understand what the relationship between him and Yang Guang was.
"Why don't you go in and sit alone in the yard?" Yang Guang did not stop at his feet, and asked Jiang Tuozi while walking towards the hall.
"I, I'm not ......" Jiang Tuozi pointed to the coarse cloth on his body and replied with an embarrassed face.
"Quick, come with me into the hall to see General Yang." Yang Guang had a chance meeting with his parents in the early years of Jiang Tuozi, and he didn't treat him as an ordinary subordinate in his heart, so he waved at him and told him to follow him into the council hall to see Yang Shangxi.
Jiang Tuozi happily agreed, stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, and followed Yang Guang into the conference hall with his back hunched.
In the conference hall, Yu Xiaoren, Li Hun, Zhang Xutuo and others were all there, only standing in the hall and listening to Yang Shangxi ask a few of them.
Yang Guang took a look and guessed that Yu Xiaoren and the others lied to the outside world that they were the servants of Li Hun's mansion in accordance with the agreement he had agreed with them in advance, so he could only stand and reply in front of Yang Shangxi.
"Your son-in-law has arrived, and he hasn't gone over to meet his master and servant." Yang Shangxi sat in the center facing outward, and first saw Yang Guang come in with Jiang Tuozi from outside the door, so he reminded Yu Xiaoren and the others.
Yu Xiaoren and Li Hun, the two generals of the Hussar Battalion of the Jin Dynasty, were lost with Yang Guang in the suburbs of Huazhou three days ago, and Zhang Xutuo and Jiang Tuozi, who caught up later, searched for most of the scene in the mountains and forests for most of the day, but they also failed to find Yang Guang and An Ruoxi, and both of them began to panic in their hearts.
You know, leaving the post station without authorization, decided to make a private detour to the eastern capital to rush to Bingzhou, although it was Yang Guang's idea, but Yu Xiaoren and Li Hun were responsible for obeying, and now they left Chang'an for only a day, so they lost the king of Jin, once Yang Guang had a horse high and short, don't say that the two of them, including their father, could not afford this responsibility.
The panic is chaotic, Yang Guang is not in front of him, Yu and Li are the backbone of the four, at that time, the two were only busy finding Yang Guang as soon as possible, and took Zhang Xutuo and Jiang Tuozi to delay in the Mangmang Mountains and forests for most of the day, until the twilight, only after Jiang Tuozi reminded him, he remembered to rush back to Huazhou City to invite the officers and soldiers to go out of the city to search the mountains, looking for the separated Yang Guang and An Ruoxi.
However, on the way to Huazhou, they agreed to send troops into the mountains to find people around how to explain the situation to the local officers and soldiers after entering the city, and a fierce dispute broke out between Yu Xiaoren and Li Hun.
Yu Xiaoren advocated that he should report to the officials and generals in Huazhou City according to the truth, explaining that he and others were escorting the King of Jin out of the town and accidentally got lost with the King of Jin, and asked the officials and troops to send a large team of men and horses to search the mountains and find people overnight to avoid accidents. He believed that only by explaining the truth could the Huazhou garrison attach great importance to it, and it would be possible to persuade them to dispatch a large number of men and horses out of the city in time to find Yang Guang.
Li Hun immediately objected. His reason is also very sufficient: King Jin and An Ruoxi rode together, but they were chasing the two eagles for food, and they strayed into the mountains for a while, and they didn't necessarily encounter much danger. If, as Yu Xiaoren said, he rushed to the city of Huazhou to tell the truth to the local officials and soldiers, although he was more sure to arouse the attention of the officials and soldiers of Huazhou, but once Yang Guang learned that they had leaked the news of Weifu's private trip, I am afraid that he and Yu Xiaoren would bear the brunt of the incident and be severely punished by Yang Guang, and maybe they would be driven out of the hussar camp.
At the same time, Li Hun did not think that if he falsely claimed to the Huazhou officials and soldiers that he had strayed into the mountains, the Huazhou officials and soldiers would not send people out of the city to look for people, and he was confident enough to believe that just by virtue of his status as the tenth prince of the imperial court, he would be able to persuade the Huazhou officials and soldiers to send a large number of men and horses to go into the mountains overnight to find people.
"Brother Li, let's make an agreement, for the time being, let's go into the city and try it out, if the Huazhou officials and soldiers refuse to send a large team of people out of the city to find the prince, I must explain the truth to them." Yu Xiaoren was not only worried that losing Yang Guang would bring disaster to his family, but also feared that what Li Hun had just said would become true, and was punished by Yang Guang, and was driven back to Chang'an halfway, losing face, repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, and showing Li Hun his hole cards before entering Huazhou City.
Although the later development of the matter was as Li Hun expected, the Huazhou officials and soldiers did not delay for a moment when they heard the news that Li Hun, the tenth son of the Taishi family of the dynasty, accidentally strayed into the mountains and went missing with his entourage, and immediately sent a whole battalion of 300 men and horses to accompany Yu Xiaoren, Li Hun and several others out of the city and into the mountains to look for people. However, the sky is not beautiful, Yu Xiaoren and Li Hun with a battalion of officers and soldiers just rushed to the outside of the mountain, and heavy snow fell in the sky, but half an hour of the scene has covered all the way into the mountain.
