After a night of arduous trekking, when the morning light was slightly dewed, the car arrived in Xianyang County, and the whole team was cold and tired. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Xuanzong also didn't sleep all night in the car, the brazier in the car had long been extinguished, he and Yang Guifei were already shivering in the car, and their hungry stomachs were growling.

Xuanzong couldn't stand it anymore, so he lifted the curtain of the car window and probed outward. He saw Gao Lishi walking beside the sedan chair on horseback, and hurriedly shouted: "Lux, Lux." ”

Gao Lishi's lips were purple from the cold, but he still hurriedly rode over and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave is here, what is Your Majesty's will?" ”

"What's up ahead? How far is it from the capital? Xuanzong squinted his eyes and endured the dazzling snow light and the wind and snow on his face and asked.

"Your Majesty, in front of you is the east of Xianyang County. We are already forty miles away from the capital. ”

"Oh, good, good." Xuanzong's heart relaxed, and he had already left Chang'an forty miles, which was equivalent to forty miles away from the rebels, and it would be safer.

"I'm tired and hungry, I'm afraid everyone is too, let's find a place to rest, I want to drink some water and eat something. The concubine is also very cold, and she bakes a fire to warm her body. Do you think it's good? Xuanzong said.

Gao Lishi hurriedly said: "The old slave obeys the order." It's almost to Wangxianyi in Xianyang East County ahead, why don't you go to Wangxianyi to rest? ”

Xuanzong said happily: "Very good." Just stop at Wangxian Station. ”

Gao Lishi straightened up and shouted to the advancing team: "Your Majesty has a will, everyone in front of you will stop and rest your feet, eat something to warm up." Your Majesty and the Mother want to rest for a while. ”

The carriages and horses sped up, and after five miles, they saw a post station next to the official road, which was convenient for the official road to transmit news or walk on the official road to rest, like this post station, there was one every dozens of miles along the official road. Although it is an ordinary post station, it is nothing less than a comfort in everyone's hearts at this moment.

After arriving at the post station, Chen Xuanli led people to rush into the post station to search, but found that the post station was in a mess, the post station guards had long since disappeared, and the things inside were also turned into a mess, almost swept away. The guest rooms and yards of the inn are also littered with animal feces and urine, and the smell is terrible. Presumably, the postmen didn't clean it at all, or the beasts in the field broke in at night to do a good thing.

Gao Lishi was busy ordering several chamberlains and palace maids who were frozen to go in and clean, and His Majesty and Niangniang could not enter until they were cleaned. Xuanzong and Yang Guifei got out of the car and walked under the big tree in front of the post station on the messy snow. Gao Lishi had already personally brushed away the snow on a bluestone under the big tree, and before he put on the futon, Xuanzong had already sat on the stone.

"I'm really tired, tired." Xuanzong sighed and looked at the embarrassed soldiers and horses and the accompanying personnel around him.

The bonfire under the big tree went up, and the beeping red flame was the warmest thing at the moment. Everyone gathered around, Li Linfu, Li Heng and others all came over to salute Xuanzong and the concubine. Xuanzong was not in the mood to talk to them, but just urged Gao Lishi to get something to eat.

Gao Lishi shouted and ordered the chamberlain to bring food and water for Xuanzong and the concubine to eat, but found that the cart containing food for His Majesty and the concubines before leaving was gone, and the chamberlain who escorted the cart was also missing.

"What's going on? What about Li Deshun? What about the royal food and fruits that put him in charge? Colliers shouted angrily.

"Master Qi, Li Deshun's car fell into the snow ditch halfway, and he was busy on the way, so he abandoned the big car. Li Deshun didn't know where to go. A chamberlain replied.

"This monkey cub must have fled for fear of punishment afterwards, and if he is caught, he will be cut by a thousand cuts." Colliers scolded.

The servants were silent. Xuanzong waved his hand and said: "That's it, just get some food, I'm very hungry, not picky." ”

Chen Xuanli, who was settling the soldiers and horses to guard the guards, came over, and after learning about this, he hurriedly said: "The soldiers' coarse grains, Your Majesty and the concubine Niangniang, can you eat them?" By the way, Xiangguo's car drove dozens of cars, and he must have brought a lot of food. Xiangguo, why don't you go and take some for Your Majesty and Niangniang to eat. ”

Yang Guozhong said with an embarrassed face: "This ...... I didn't bring anything to eat. ”

Chen Xuanli frowned and said, "You didn't bring anything to eat?" And what's in those dozens of big cars of yours? Are they all precious and soft things of gold and silver? What's the use of you taking those? Can it make Your Majesty hungry? ”

Yang Guozhong frowned and said, "General Chen, do I need to report to you if I take something away?" I thought that His Majesty's attendants would bring food with them, so I didn't bring those things. But who knew that the vehicle carrying the food was lost? What are you yelling at me? ”

Chen Xuanli said angrily: "Xiangguo, you are traveling to the west, but you are carrying so much property, this is planning not to return to Chang'an, right?" What's your idea? Do you know how disgusting your behavior is? ”

Yang Guozhong said angrily: "Chen Xuanli, don't be presumptuous. You're going to take care of me, what do you want to do? Isn't it looking for me? What kind of system are you arguing in front of Your Majesty? Do you still have Your Majesty in your eyes? ”

Chen Xuan was so angry that he was about to refute, so he listened to the pale Mrs. Qin Guo on the side and said: "Don't fight, I have food with me, and I have already ordered someone to bring it to His Majesty and Niangniang." Everyone has worked hard, and it is inevitable that the anger will be bigger, so it is important to save two words and leave some energy to hurry. ”

Chen Xuanli and Yang Guozhong both stopped talking in a daze, and Xuanzong hung his head and sighed slightly. Gao Lishi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Qin Guo had already ordered someone to fetch food, and she would come soon. ”

Xuanzong sighed: "I'm not a hungry sigh, I'm thinking, how did we end up in such a situation?" Feeling like it was overnight, and it was embarrassing? They quarreled over a bite to eat. Is my Tang Dynasty really coming to an end? Is it true that my qi is exhausted? ”

Everyone hurriedly knelt on the ground, and Yang Guozhong said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty is angry, it's all ministers." ”

Chen Xuanli also said: "The minister didn't suppress his anger, don't be sad when Your Majesty goes, all this is only temporary, and the ministers will definitely protect Your Majesty and return to Chang'an." ”

Li Heng and the others on the side were silent, and Li Fuguo knelt on the side with his eyes squinting thoughtfully.

Mrs. Qin Guo didn't actually bring much food, she only brought some food on her own way. I also brought some fruits and pastries, and when these things were presented to Xuanzong and the concubine, they were more precious than anything else. Xuanzong is very picky when he eats on weekdays, but at this moment, eating these pastries is simply delicious, and he even eats more than a dozen pieces, and he is full of praise. Yang Guifei supported eating three or two tablets, drank some water, and then stopped eating. Her face was pale, apparently from shock and fatigue. Since last night, when she was suddenly asked to go out of Beijing with His Majesty, until now, the concubine Niangniang has been silent, and she has not said more than ten sentences.

Xuanzong was happy to eat, and the people who were driving next to him were hungry. After the cart with food was discarded, the more than 100 palace maids and concubines who accompanied him had nothing to eat. They could only watch His Majesty and the concubine eat while swallowing and foaming. In the end, Chen Xuanli had to order the Praetorian Guards to give away the little dry food they carried, and everyone ate some dry and cold bread and fried flour, chewed a few mouthfuls of snow, and dealt with the hungry stomach.

After eating, Xuanzong's strength recovered a little, and his spirit was better. After inquiring about the road ahead, Xuanzong decided not to stay here, but to continue on his journey, striving to arrive in Jincheng County, fifty miles away, tonight. Although Jincheng County is a small county seat, it is always a resting place, and the earlier you hurried away from the capital, you will be a little away from danger, and the distance from Wang Yuan's army is also a little closer. The only thing Xuanzong was thinking about now was to see Wang Yuan quickly, and this mood was even more urgent than the mood he had never forgotten when he saw Yang Guifei back then.

The group rested for half an hour and set out on the long journey to the west again.

……

In the west Qinling Mountains of Longyou Road, Wang Yuan and Liu Jun led 3,000 cavalry to trek in the mountains and mountains with difficulty. It snowed heavily last night, and Wang Yuan wanted to travel overnight, but in the end he chose to camp in the valley to rest, because the snow-covered mountains were too dangerous, and if he was not careful, he would fall under the snow-covered cliffs. Although Wang Yuan and Liu Jun were anxious to save Mrs. Qin, they couldn't be reckless.

In the evening, after eating dry food, Wang Yuan went to sleep in the tent early, hoping that he would be in good spirits early tomorrow morning and cope with the hard journey of the day. In three days, he had to take these 3,000 light horses out of the Qinling Mountain Pass and rush to that place. It is a crossroads of history, a place where time and space intersect, and you must rush there to make a difference. It sounds fantastical, but it's exactly what it is. Everything is converging towards that point, time, space and people, and you have to admit the inexplicable mystery in this.

Wang Yuan counted a hundred sheep and fell asleep, and in the middle of the night, he had a dream that he felt someone sitting in his tent, caressing his face, and kissing his lips gently. The smell in his nose was very familiar, and Wang Yuan felt déjà vu in his sleep, but he didn't know what kind of fragrance it was in a daze, and wondered where the memory of this fragrance came from. This is already this kind of dream that Wang Yuan has had many times, and he has had this strange dream several times in Chengdu.

A wolf howl in the mountains woke Wang Yuan from his dream, and then, he really saw a dark figure sitting in his small tent. Wang Yuan's hair stood on end in fright, and he picked up the long sword next to the pillow and slashed it with his sword.
