Chapter Seventy-One: Escape
(Ask for collection)
Looking out of the street from the wall, the dark street was silent, and in the distance, there were occasional street patrol Wuhou riding on horses with torches galloping by, but there was no imaginary scene of large-scale card search and interception.
"It seems that our guess is correct, Wang Ji couldn't mobilize Jin Wuwei to patrol the streets all night to help, and he made a fuss for half the night, and now he has all withdrawn." Wang Yuan said in a low voice.
Gongsun Lan nodded and whispered: "That's the case, but you still have to be careful, although the martial marquis are a little lax in the second half of the night, they can't swagger." After getting off the wall, everything is at my command, Xin'er, if you encounter a Wuhou patrolling the street, you must kill it immediately, so as not to cause more trouble. ”
Li Xin'er nodded silently, her eyes condescending and vigilantly searching.
Wang Yuan felt inexplicably nervous, and his body began to heat up, he only hated that he had no martial arts and could only become a burden to Gongsun Lan and Li Xin'er.
It's a pity that YY's dream was quickly shattered by reality, Gongsun Lan stretched out her arm and hugged Wang Yuan's waist and whispered: "Be careful, I'll take you down, be careful when you land, you are tall and have to curl up your legs, otherwise I'm afraid I will hurt your feet." ”
Wang Yuan snorted, only to feel a tightness around his waist, his body fell to the ground like a cloud, and when he remembered to curl up his legs, he was also a step slower, and the soles of his feet made a real intimate contact on the street, which was so painful and numb that he made a loud noise.
Wang Yuan could feel Gongsun Lan's blaming gaze looking at him, and he wanted to die of shame, but fortunately, Gongsun Lan quickly focused his attention on listening to the movements around him, and the two women held their blades one after the other to sandwich Wang Yuan in the middle, sticking to the wall and peeping around. Because the sound of Wang Yuan landing on the ground is too loud, it will attract people's attention on such a night.
Fortunately, the consequences were not serious, there were no Wuhou soldiers and horses around who followed the sound, the three of them rested slightly, Gongsun Lan led the way, and the three of them quickly galloped north along the bluestone foundation under the root of the tall fang wall.
Gongsun Lan is exploring the road in front, every time there is a patrol soldier and horse coming, Gongsun Lan will make a gesture in time, the three of them will curl up in the shadows to dodge, every time they encounter the place set up by the Wuhou Pavilion at the crossroads, in order to avoid being discovered by the hanging wind lantern and a large number of soldiers, Gongsun Lan always grabs Wang Yuan's body and runs, Wang Yuan is like a huge doll in the hands of Gongsun Lan, and his feet do not touch the ground and sweep the ground. Ignoring Gongsun Lan's tired wheezing, Wang Yuan himself was sweating profusely and panting like a cow, which was by no means tired, but caused by shame.
After a few squares, Wang Yuan suddenly found that something was wrong, the direction to the north was right, but it seemed that he had gone too far, and he had already passed the Yongle Fang where Li Shizhi's mansion was located, and Gongsun Lan was still walking north.
When he was hiding next to the stone lion in front of the door of a large family that opened the door outward, Wang Yuan asked the reason in a low voice, and Gongsun Lan said: "I want to go to Pingkangfang to do something, not far ahead, Xin'er, you accompany Wang Yuan to hide and wait here, I will come back in half an hour." ”
Li Xin'er said in a low voice: "What is the master going to do?" Let's go together. ”
Gongsun Lan shook her head and said: "It's a burden if you stay here to protect Wang Yuan, and I'll be back in a while." ”
Li Xin'er was helpless, looking at Wang Yuan, he was indeed a burden, and taking him would drag down the action, so she had to nod and agree. Gongsun Lan took out a black scarf to cover her head and face, and after a few words, she disappeared into the darkness in front of her, Wang Yuan and Li Xin'er shrank in the small groove of the pedestal under the stone lion You look at me, I look at you, staring at you with big eyes.
Time seems to have passed very long, Wuhou who galloped past from this street has passed back and forth three times, and the big roosters raised in the surrounding houses have also crowed one after another, and the sky has become brighter and brighter, and they have not seen Gongsun Lan come back, Wang Yuan and Li Xin'er are a little panicked in their hearts.
Li Xin'er bit Wang Yuan's ear and said, "Erlang, you hide, I'll go and see, the master must be in some trouble, you just hide here and don't move." ”
Wang Yuan smiled bitterly: "The sky is about to light up, what are you hiding?" I'll go too. ”
Li Xin'er nodded in agreement, and the two crawled out from under the stone lion's belly, and were about to move forward, but seeing a black shadow in the hazy morning light ahead, Li Xin'er said happily: "It's the master." ”
The person who came was Gongsun Lan, her face was calm, and there were no officers and soldiers chasing behind her, it seemed that everything was fine, but she didn't know why she had been gone for so long and what she had done.
On the way to Yongle Fang in the southeast, Wang Yuan couldn't help but ask, "What did Gongsun seniors do when they went to Pingkangfang?" Did you go to Li Linfu's mansion for a while? ”
Gongsun Lan smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you should use violence to counter violence?" I just went to give Wang Ji a warning. ”
"Huh? Are you going to find Wang Jie? Kill him? Wang Yuan and Li Xin'er were both taken aback.
"That's not true, count him lucky, I went to the Xiangzhu Pavilion to find Chen Miaoer just now, but I hoped that Wang Ji would be there, but unfortunately he was not there. So I dragged Chen Miaoer out into the street. Hung her on the archway at the intersection of Pingkang Fong. When I came back, I was discovered by several Wuhou, so I took them around a few times before rushing back. ”
"......" Wang Yuan was completely speechless, it turned out that Gongsun Lan went to find Chen Miaoer to be unlucky, this is too childish, although Chen Miaoer is hateful, but without Wang Jie, she can't set off the wind and waves, taking such a big risk just to teach Chen Miaoer a lesson, I don't know what Gongsun Lan thinks.
Li Xin'er was very excited: "It turned out that I went to teach this slut a lesson, the master did a good job, I would like to plan to come to her in a few days, not to take her life, at least to scratch her face, and teach her never to harm people." I didn't expect the master to want to be in my head, so did the master just hang her at the corner of the street? Didn't scratch her face? ”
Gongsun Lan said: "I shaved her hair, stripped her of her clothes, and wrote a few words on her, but I didn't hurt her face, after all, she is not the culprit." This is also to warn Wang Ji about last night's incident, he is looking for Wang Yuan's bad luck, and I will look for Chen Miao'er bad luck, and everyone is still courteous. ”
Wang Yuan couldn't cry or laugh, he was quite speechless about such a childish behavior, although Chen Miaoer should teach a lesson, but it was unnecessary to do so, maybe he couldn't understand the psychology of the woman, it looked like the means of the original match to deal with the junior in the future, he was very irrational, and he didn't know why such behavior was done by Gongsun Lan.
It is impossible to warn Wang Jie, and it is more likely to provoke Wang Jiao to hate him even more. But Wang Yuan doesn't care anymore, anyway, Wang Ji doesn't give him a way to live, and it's not bad to give a small counterattack, at least tell Wang Ji that he is not easy to mess with.
……
The sky had just been clear, and the first street drum in Chang'an City was beating, and three figures on the steps of the east gate of Li Shizhi's Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion walked up the stairs to the vermilion gate. A man and two women were carrying a large package, and the two women beside the man were covered with black veils and could not see their faces clearly, but the emerald sleeves and shirts were richly dressed, except for looking back into the street from time to time, they looked like a pair of rich sisters.
Wang Yuan walked to the front of the mansion, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door knocker gently, the sound of clanging was very harsh on the empty street, and several soldiers on duty on night patrol in the distance who were rushing back to Wuhoupu frowned and looked at this side, but finally the enemy was tired and turned his head away.
The four janitors at the east gate of the Zuo Xiang's Mansion were also about to take over their shifts, and they were taking advantage of the last bit of time to lie down in the hut inside the door to nap, and were disturbed by the knock on the door, and their hearts were churning with anger, and the four of them rushed to the back of the door with bloodshot eyes that were sleep-deprived, and opened the small door opening and scolded: "Who knocked on the door early in the morning?" I'm annoyed, go and go, it's not time to open the door. ”
Wang Yuan smiled and arched his hand towards the big black face with blood-red eyes in the doorway: "Brother, please open it, I want to enter the mansion." ”
"Who are you? Say it's in? Let's pick a time to visit Zuo Xiang, early in the morning, even if Zuo Xiang doesn't have to participate in the morning court, he won't see guests so early, it's really a hell. ”
Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "I am Wang Yuan, I am a person from the house, I am coming back to the house, but I am not here to meet Zuo Xiang." ”
"Wang Yuan?" The big black face in the doorway was surprised: "You...... Why did you come in from outside so early in the morning? ”
Wang Yuan said patiently: "Please open the door first, I went out of the house yesterday to do business, and I will return this morning." ”
The big black face retracted, and he heard a voice coming from inside the door: "The person outside the door said that he is the prince of Wang Yuan, is it the prince of Wang Yuan that Steward Liu ordered to pay attention to?" Big dog, you know him, go and see. ”
After a while, another big-faced, redtoothed man with bloodshot eyes showed his face from the doorway, and when he saw Wang Yuan's appearance, his face was suddenly full of smiles, and he shouted: "If it's really Wang Yuan's prince, it's really Wang Gongzi's return home, you guys go and report to Steward Liu." Prince Wang, you wait, I will open the door for you. ”
Wang Yuan arched his hand and said, "I'm tired." ”
The latch of the door rattled, and after a while, the side door opened, and two servants opened the door and came out to stand on the steps, and one of them arched his hand and said: "Hey, Wang Gongzi, you can be regarded as coming back, I heard yesterday that you left the house, and you didn't come back until the night fast, and the willow steward was in a hurry, and several gates greeted him, and ordered him not to sleep at night, and to stare outside with wide eyes, so as to prevent you from coming back in the middle of the night." Look at my eyes, they're as red as a rabbit's eyes. ”
