Chapter 15: Escaping and Encountering the Red Breeze
There are too many yamen in Chang'an City.
After all, it is the capital of a country, with many people and many things. Specific to the incident of the appearance of fierce beasts hurting people in Pingkangfang, the yamen in charge should bear the brunt of the Chang'an County Yamen. There is Jingzhao Mansion in Chang'an County, but Jingzhao Yin is already a high-ranking official on the fourth grade, how can this kind of trivial matter of public security be handed over to his desk easily. Jin Wuwei, who patrols the streets, is also responsible for the security of Chang'an City, but they will not send troops unless it is a major event. When he received a report that a monster had injured someone, Lang on duty laughed it off. This is Chang'an City, where did the monster come from. Which powerful man's vicious dog bites someone, right? This kind of thing that may offend people, let the Chang'an County Ya take care of it, if you really send out troops and armor to put on a hunting posture in Chang'an City, wouldn't it be shameful.
So, a group of officials with waist knives and sentry sticks on their shoulders opened the door of Pingkangfang without knowing what was happening. Under the eyes of Zhou Fang, who was expecting rescue, he went to Zhan Lu Lou with a big grin...... Then, the only catcher who fled to the street screamed and was knocked down by the black shadow, and then more than 20 people lay neatly in the lobby of Zhan Lu Building.
Luo Yun pinched his hands and counted the number of people who had been knocked down, and then inexplicably looked at Xiao You and put a total of more than forty people on the ground, with their heads and feet in the north and south, I don't know what it is for. Of course, there is one exception, the one who screamed the most fiercely when he entered the door, Wei Gongzi, who also ran the fastest and shouted the loudest after Xiao You appeared, he was hung on the window of the opposite door.
Luo Yun stood alone in the hall, Xiao You patrolled around the forty lying corpses, and when he saw the awake ones, he went up to mend a paw. Under Luo Yun's persuasion, Hongyi, Lang Xuan, and Juanier reluctantly agreed to go back and pack up their things and escape.
Speaking of these three completely different women, the one who has been holding the pipa is the most straightforward. As soon as he decided to leave, without saying a word, he picked up a broken stick and slapped it on the head of the shopkeeper who was trembling on the ground! Then he said to the red clothes: "I'm going to clean up, I'm going to go together!" He dragged Feniel back to the backyard. Luo Yun was startled by the crisp stick, looked at the fat shopkeeper who had fainted, and thought to himself that there were indeed many strange women in this dust. Seeing that Hongyi was still holding the bald broom and stunned there, he thought about it and just wanted to persuade a few words, but when he heard Hongyi sigh deeply, he raised his head and glared at him fiercely, and turned his head to leave.
Luo Yun stood in the hall in a daze, thinking about what happened today. Although he was in big trouble, he didn't know how to solve it. This is Chang'an City, even if Sun Daochang and Mrs. Li can't protect him. He also wants to take people to escape, and he is afraid that Pingkangfang will not be able to get out. Alas, thousands of thoughts turned into a sigh. When the trouble is so big that you can't solve it at all, there is no need to think about anything, just face what you want. At least for now, Xiao Yu can still cover it......
Chang'an City is one hundred and eight squares, an imperial city, and a Taiji Palace. How long does it take for the matter of a Pingkangfang restaurant to pass through the reports of the yamen at all levels, enter the center of the country, reach the eyes of the ministers of Zaifu, and reach the ears of His Majesty the Emperor?
If the normal progress of handling affairs is followed, I am afraid that it will be impossible to let the emperor know that they are coming to Chang'an City before Luo Yun and Xiao You are killed by Jin Wuwei's archers. For the sake of the magical 'monkey wine', and for the sake of her daughter Princess Changle, the queen sent her attendant to follow Sun Simiao back to Qingyunguan and summoned Li Luoyun to the palace for an audience.
The Empress had lunch with His Majesty the Emperor and her two daughters, who had come to visit. The summoned chamberlain returned to report the results.
"Gone? Gone this morning? This news made the queen have a little doubt in her heart. Originally, she thought it was just a teenager who wanted to please the royal family by offering in exchange for the rank of advancement. How could he leave so suddenly?
The chamberlain knelt on the ground, did not dare to raise his head, and whispered back, "Yes." The three of them left early this morning and left a letter to Sun Daochang, saying that they had finished their trip to Chang'an and were not in good health, so they said goodbye and returned to the mountain to recuperate. ”
"Going back to the mountains to recuperate?" The Emperor listened to some of the causes and consequences during the meal, but never said anything. At this time, I was surprised when I heard this. "Didn't that young man follow Sun Daochang to Chang'an just to cure his illness? How did you come to play? Still let a national doctor like Sun Daochang not look at it, and want to go back to the mountain to recuperate? Is his bell doctor in the mountains more clever than Sun Daochang's medical skills? ”
His Majesty the Emperor asked a series of questions, and the little chamberlain couldn't answer any of them, and the nervous sweat came down. "Your Majesty forgives your sins, but the minions don't know."
The queen pulled Her Majesty's wide sleeves and asked softly, "What else did the young man say when he left a book?" Before the voice fell, his eyes couldn't help but turn, and he looked at the green jade gourd placed on the top of the small table next to the couch. Even without the internal medicinal liquor, this gourd itself ...... It's also a treasure, right, he just handed it over to Sun Daochang? ”
The little waiter's body was lowered, and his voice was a little muffled: "The slave doesn't know." The Taoist did not read the letter to the minion. But...... In the end, Sun Daochang asked the slave to report to Niangniang, saying that if the medicinal wine was drunk, he would come to retrieve the gourd on his behalf. ”
"So...... Stand down. ”
The chamberlain bowed and retired. The Empress bowed her head in contemplation, and the Emperor's gaze turned to the green jade gourd that had led to the incident. Princess Xiangcheng was the most clever, and as soon as she saw her father's sight, she immediately got up and walked to the couch, carefully put the green jade gourd in a tray, and presented it to her father.
The emperor stretched out his hand to hold the gourd, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the queen's eyes fell on the contemplative ground, and immediately understood the importance that the queen attached to this object, and couldn't help but stretch out his other hand to hold the gourd, and then he got it in front of him.
The green jade gourd is integrated, as if carved from green jade. The feel is indeed as warm as jade, and it does not feel hot in summer and ice in winter. If you look closely at the mouth of the gourd, you can't see the joint gap at all. However, despite the sealing, when the gourd mouth is brought under the nose, you can still smell the lingering aroma of wine.
The emperor is a battle-hardened emperor, fond of wine and meat, just smelling the aroma of this wine, he can't help but take a deep breath, his mouth is naturally full of relish, and he subconsciously swallows it. "It's really good wine! It's just that the aroma of wine is so tempting......"
The queen looked at her husband and smiled gently: "Xiangcheng, pour a cup for your father and emperor." ”
Princess Xiangcheng was just about to get up to get the cup, but was stopped by the emperor: "No need! The emperor looked at his wife with a smile on his face, "I just tasted a kind of wine, but it was a life-saving medicine for the queen." I can't cure your illness, but I can control my appetite. ”
The queen's eyes were like water, and she gently held the emperor's hand: "Your Majesty, the concubine is fine." Not so much...... What's more, His Majesty was injured in the early years of war, and this wine is also good for His Majesty. ”
The emperor gently put down the green jade gourd, held the queen's hand, and still shook his head firmly and said, "I can't take this risk. As he spoke, he straightened up and looked at the empty space of the hall proudly, and his tone was stern: "Except for the queen to drink, if anyone makes a drop of medicinal wine in this gourd missing, I will pay for it with his blood!" ”
Fall. Xiangcheng and Changle leaned over to answer: "Erchen doesn't dare." All the palace maids inside and outside the Lizheng Hall knelt down in unison and bowed their heads: "Slaves (slaves) obey the order!" ”
The emperor ignored the kneeling man, held the empress's hand, glanced at the green jade gourd, and muttered: "If it is not enough, even if Sun Daochang conceals it, he must find that young man back......"
Luo Yun didn't know that His Majesty the Tang Emperor in the Taiji Palace had already begun to think about his whereabouts. Luo Yun only knew that at least he wasn't going to wait here to die now. No matter how good Xiao Yu is, he and it are just mortal creatures.
The managers of Chang'an City have not yet figured out what is going on. Once the big people come to their senses, he, the little one, will only be killed by random arrows, or even burned to death. Therefore, when he couldn't be sure that there was a rescuer, Luo Yun simply followed the three women in red over the back wall and left Zhan Lu Lou.
Of course, with his 'skills', like Viniel, he is lifted up the wall by the red coat...... It's a shame. In contrast, Xiao You is holding half a sheep in her mouth, and Rang Xuan is carrying her baby pipa, but her movements are much more sensitive.
The four of them and one tiger fell off the wall, and Hongyi looked back at the courtyard wall that had closed her for several years with mixed feelings, and felt a thousand feelings in her heart. From the moment he decided to leave, Lang Xuan behaved extremely neatly, and at this time, he was not as emotional as the red clothes, nor as nervous as Juanier, he cautiously looked around the alley left and right, and after making sure that there was no one nearby, he turned his head to stare at Luo Yun and said, "Pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger...... No, it's a tiger breeder...... Boy, don't you tell my sister that you don't know where to take us? ”
Luo Yun looked at the empty street, a little dazed, and subconsciously shook his head when he heard the words, and then reacted, and explained in his eyes that he was about to kill: "I am here for the first time in Chang'an City, and I am staying in the Taoist Temple of Sun Daochang who treats me. Now that these troubles are being caused, the Taoist temple will definitely not be able to go back. We have to get out of town! ”
The red clothes clenched the snatched horizontal knife, and wanted to dig a hole in Luo Yun's body......
"You! You! You! You stunned boy, you don't even have a place to stay, you dare to run away with us! "I don't have as good control as Hongyi, if it weren't for the fact that she was too precious to her pipa, she would definitely be raised and smashed on Luo Yun's head at this moment. Rao was like this, and the dexterous and slender index finger had already touched the tip of Luo Yun's nose.
"Hahaha! I'm not mistaken, you kid isn't as comfortable as it seems. I've only been away for so long, and I've made such a big move. As soon as the words fell, the bright and bold tone turned to regret: "I knew it was so lively, what kind of meat did I go to buy, I missed a good show, alas......"
The four people in the alley were nervous when they first heard the voice, and they saw a well-dressed woman at the entrance of the alley, sitting on a majestic yellow horse, looking at them with a playful face. The midday sun shone on the gemstone set with a phoenix hairpin on her head, shining in color.
Red Whisk arrived in time when the four of them were most helpless, and such a shining appearance was really like a savior from heaven for the four of Luoyun. The only fly in the ointment is that the majestic yellow huss is really unbearable. If it weren't for the red whisk pulling the reins hard, I'm afraid he would have turned around and ran away.
Even if he barely stayed here, he kept kicking his hooves, struggling and screaming backwards. The one who lay on the ground and gnawed on the bloody leg of mutton as if no one was there...... Xiao You, the beast aura that emanates, the deterrence of it, makes it instinctively afraid, even if it is trained by war horses, it can't resist this instinct.
Luo Yun happily bowed forward: "Mrs. Li." What he didn't expect was that without waiting for him to introduce, the three of them squatted down in unison to salute: "I've seen Mrs. Li." "They know each other. No matter how Zhan Lulou doesn't know how to do the skin and meat business, it is still a green building, and the red whisk girl is really extraordinary, it seems that she is familiar with shopping.
Red Whisk looked at the red clothes and laughed heartily, turned over and dismounted, loosened the reins, and ran away by the horse itself. When he walked to Luo Yun's side, he squinted at Luo Yun and said with a smile: "No wonder he pointed to Zhan Lulou when he opened his mouth, it turned out that he had taken a fancy to our red clothes." ”
Luo Yun's face was tender, and his head was buried. He just wanted to say goodbye before leaving, where did he think that it would develop into the current situation. After Hongfu finished speaking, he walked straight past Luo Yun and walked in front of the three women in red. Looking at the red clothes who were still bent over, he reached out very lightly and picked up the face of the red clothes, and looked at the calm eyes, and the banter on the red clothes was even stronger. "How's that little girl?"
A trace of complicated emotions flashed in the depths of Hongyi's eyes, and there were no words. This flash of fluctuation couldn't escape the red eyes, and the smile on his face deepened: "Sister is right, men in this world are not the same, and God is not always ruthless." There will always be such a magical man, who suddenly appears in front of you when you don't expect it. ”
The red hand slipped along the slightly angular chin of the red coat and pinched the round and lovely ear beads: "When you meet him, you will find that the cage of the past has been opened a door, and when you see the world outside the door, you can't help but go out desperately." ”
Waving his hand to signal the three girls to get up, Hongfu looked at the three women with different personalities, as if she had seen former sisters, with some memories in her eyes: "You still stubbornly told me that you have been in a cage all your life, and you still escaped today?" ”
Hearing this, the red-clothed glared at Luo Yun angrily: "The red-clothed ...... It's forced to be helpless! ”
Hongfu followed the eyes of the red clothes, turned to look at Luo Yun, who was standing quietly at the mouth of the alley, and laughed heartily: "It is okay to be willing, or to be helpless." I just met this teenager, and I just thought he was funny, and it's always right to follow interesting people. It's exciting to be able to discover the world outside of you. ”
"It's exciting or boring. Lang Xuan only knows that if he doesn't leave, when the officers and soldiers come, we will really have to go into the cage and discuss interesting and boring! "Lang Xuan's temper has always been in the eyes of no one, and he is as unapologetic as the red clothes to those dignitaries and nobles who come and go. But not for Mrs. Li. When she first met Mrs. Li, who was dressed as a man, she felt very kind.
After getting acquainted, Red Whisk did take care of them like an eldest sister. Red Whisk has been fighting with her husband for many years, wandering all directions, her momentum is tough and does not lose to the Duke of Weiguo, even if she is as stubborn as red in front of her, she can only bow down and listen to the training, not to mention her and Luan Nier.
But now is indeed not the time to listen honestly.
Hongfu waved his hand indifferently: "In this world, if something happens, naturally those men are in front of you." If you really get caught, you give that kid and his tiger out, and you'll be fine. ”
Luo Yun listened to the red whisk's ridicule and bowed helplessly: "Madam, don't laugh, please help Luo Yun." Take the three girls out of here first, and protect them from being implicated. ”
"Hmph, count on your conscience." Hongfu was quite satisfied with Luo Yun's answer, and turned her head to look at Xiao You, who had been lying on the ground and nibbling on the leg of mutton. This is the first time I have seen this black blue tiger clearly in the sun...... It's much stronger than her big tiger...... It was her first feeling. "How many lives have been injured?"
"Madame, don't worry, Xiao You is very measured, at most he was seriously injured, and he didn't damage the lives of those people." Luo Yun is very good at this, and the most seriously injured are the two Wei family tribes who started to go upstairs to arrest him. The rest were minor injuries and passed out.
Hongfu was surprised when he heard this, and looked at Xiao You carefully: "There are so many people before and after...... You're ...... Xiao You, is so smart and measured? ”
Red-clothed looked at the monster with trepidation, and echoed, "This ...... Tiger, very powerful. ”
Red Fu glanced at Red Yi in surprise, but she knew how high Red Yi's swordsmanship was. Even Hongyi said so, it seems that she still underestimated this tiger.
"By the way, didn't it go with your Uncle Wu's carriage? How to ......"
Luo Yun thought of this verse, and felt even more troubled: "Yun doesn't know how it followed all the way." I really don't know if there is any other trouble, so I shook my head helplessly: "Madam, let's get out of here first." When Jin Wuwei's officers and soldiers came, it would be difficult to get out. ”
Leaving Pingkang Fang was easier than you thought. The identity of the Duchess of Hongfu saves the trouble of checking. Moreover, although the incident of Zhan Lu Lou caused a riot, rumors spread everywhere. However, Zhou Fangzheng's timely closure of the door affected the speed of the spread of the message. The annihilation of the entire army of the county government has made the real news unknown.
Luo Yun rubbed shoulders with the Jinwu guards led by the flying cavalry captain Cheng Chuliang on the long street. He is still a nobody, and even if he gets into trouble, no one will pay attention to him until the court issues a wanted document.
Hongfu walked down the long street with the four of them unhurriedly, and Xiao Yu disappeared again. After turning a street, he met Cheng Wu and his son.
As soon as they met, Mu'er complained to Luo Yun: "I don't know where I slipped on the small quiet road, and I just came back suddenly." ”
Luo Yun shook his head and signaled that there was no need to say more. helped the three girls in red put the salute in the car, and briefly explained a few words to Uncle Wu: "I caused some trouble in Pingkangfang." Let's go to the Patriotic Mansion first. ”
Only then did Mu'er recognize that the people who were accompanying Mrs. Li's horse were the girls she had seen in Zhanlulou yesterday. I couldn't help but be stunned, completely surprised by what had happened.
