Chapter 193: Camp Hard
Lai Xing'er heard that what the two said was not far from what he thought in his heart, so he nodded, hugged his fist to the old sacrificial wine, and said: "Since this is the case, without further ado, please forgive me for missing the company, I will rush to Zhongnan Mountain to teach the eldest lady to enter the earth as soon as possible." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 After saying this, he turned around and shouted at Jiang Zhongshi, who was still behind the room and teasing the two horses: "Little stone, prepare the horse, let's go to Yanying Hall now and move the eldest lady to Zhongnan Mountain for burial." ”
Jinping saw him say that he would leave, and he hurriedly said: "The eldest lady and I have met once, and I will also go to see her off." ”
Lai Xing'er glanced back at the old sacrificial wine uneasily, and persuaded Jinping: "Now that the official army has just entered the city, there may be a Tibetan soldier hidden somewhere in Chang'an City, so you should stay and take care of the old man." Besides, after Marshal Jing enters the city, you have to take him to visit Niangniang......"
As soon as he mentioned Jing Xuan, he evoked Jinping's sadness, so he no longer insisted on rushing to Zhongnan Mountain with the two of them, but only sent them to the door of Wubenfang with the old sacrificial wine, and waved goodbye.
Lai Xing'er arrived outside the fang, turned over and sat on the back of the little white dragon's horse, handed over the "chasing the wind" to Jiang Zhongshi to ride, and the Jiangzhong stone was so happy that his mouth couldn't close, and he didn't wait for Lai Xing'er to set off, and patted the back crotch of "chasing the wind", this Hu horse was also considered to be related to him, neighed, spread his four hooves, and ran in the direction of Daming Palace like a gust of wind. Lai Xing'er saw that Jiang Zhongshi was so anxious, so he hugged his fists goodbye to the old sacrificial wine and Jinping, and lifted the reins of the little white dragon, followed closely behind, and rushed out like a wind and lightning.
Although Lai Xing'er attacked and killed Zhang Liang, the general who had taken refuge in Tibet, successfully used the method of beating drums to convey information, and cooperated with the official army to recover Chang'an, his identity was still only a miscellaneous servant to be convicted. Therefore, when he and Jiang Zhongshi wanted to enter the Daming Palace from the main gate, they were blocked by the sergeants guarding the palace gate. No matter how Lai Xing'er argued with them, the leader of the team only shook his head vigorously, and in desperation, the two of them had to make a detour to the west, wanting to pass through the Hanlin Courtyard separated by a wall from the Daming Palace, and enter the small courtyard of the Yanying Hall through the Zuoyintai Gate on the side of the Zuozang Library.
At this time, although the 6,000 official army led by Jing Yuncong had basically controlled all the important places in Chang'an City, in a short period of time, due to the lack of troops, a place like Hanlin Academy, which was prominent but geographically insignificant, still could not be guarded by troops. Lai Xing'er and the two successfully entered the Hanlin Courtyard, because the left Yintai gate leading to the Daming Palace of the Hanlin Courtyard was not spacious, the two got off the horse in front of the Zuoyintai Gate, tied the little white dragon and the "chasing wind" two mounts under a big white fruit tree next to the door, and walked into the courtyard of the Yanying Hall from the Zuoyintai Gate.
The small courtyard of the Yanying Hall was still full of the corpses of the Tibetan soldiers, and it was obvious that no one had come in since they left. Lai Xing'er was in front, Jiang Zhongshi followed, and the two of them cautiously passed through the gap between the corpses on the ground, and went straight into the Yanying Hall to find Xin Twelve Niang's body. Jiang Zhongshi didn't shy away from anything, bent down and carried Xin Twelve Niang's body to his shoulder, turned around and walked out. At this moment, the neighing of a little white dragon suddenly came from the courtyard of the Hanlin Courtyard next door.
"It's not good, someone broke into the Hanlin Academy." Lai Xing'er said hello to Jiang Zhongshi, and immediately rushed out of the Yanying Palace, taking the lead in running towards the Hanlin Courtyard.
However, when he rushed into the Hanlin Courtyard with a roar, he was amused by what he saw. I saw that under the big white fruit tree next to the door of the left silver platform, two horses were running around a man who didn't know whether he was kicked down by the horse or scared down, and the little white dragon also raised his front hooves from time to time, making a posture of stepping on the man, bluffing the man from time to time to let out one or two screams......
"Little White Dragon, chase the wind, stop, be careful of hurting him." Lai Xing'er stopped the two horses, ran over, and stretched out his hand to pull the man up from the ground.
The man was so frightened that he turned his head to face Lai Xing'er, and the two recognized each other almost at the same time, and they all shouted in unison.
"Come to Xing'er."
"Lao Huang."
The one who was forced to fall to the ground by the two horses was actually Lao Huang, a veteran of the forbidden army who had been the leader of Xing'er's gang.
Lai Xing'er looked Lao Huang up and down, and saw that he was dressed in a white shirt worn by ordinary people, with two large patches on his shoulders and elbows, looking poor and despaired, so he pulled him up and asked puzzledly: "Guy, who are you?" ”
Lao Huang raised his eyes and glanced at the left silver platform, his face flushed, he lowered his head, and he was speechless.
When Lai Xing'er saw him like this, he thought that he wanted to enter the palace in this costume while he was in chaos, and what he wanted to do must not be a glorious thing, so he changed his tone and asked: "I haven't seen you for many days, where are you on an errand now, boss?" When the Tibetans invaded Chang'an, didn't you escort them east? ”
Lao Huang was about to open his mouth to answer, but suddenly saw Jiang Zhongshi striding out of the left silver platform door with a corpse on his shoulder, and subconsciously hid from Lai Xing'er, and asked with a frightened face: "You guys, did you two come to the palace to steal people's corpses?" ”
When Lai Xing'er heard him say a stealing word, his heart moved, and he seemed to have guessed a few points about the reason why Lao Huang had mixed into the Hanlin Academy, but he pretended not to know and comforted him: "A friend died in the Yanying Palace, and we are about to follow her instructions before her death to move her bones to a proper place for burial. Don't be afraid, this is my brother Jiang Zhongshi. ”
Lao Huang was called by Lai Xing'er one by one, looking quite uncomfortable, so he simply wiped his face and said, "Brother, don't call me the captain anymore." Since the Duke of Jin was killed, you have mysteriously disappeared, but it has been a pain for us soldiers who were sent to serve as guards in the Duke of Jin's mansion, without exception, to be used as ordinary people. No, my brother and I have used up my savings for many years to buy the next donkey cart, and now I am no longer a gang leader by pulling goods for others and traveling for a living. ”
Jiang Zhongshi carried Xin Twelve Niang's body and walked to Chasing Wind, wanting to unload the body on horseback, but Chasing Wind screamed in surprise and hurriedly avoided it.
Lai Xing'er heard that Lao Huang is now making a living by driving feet and pulling goods for others, and seeing that chasing the wind is like this, he couldn't help but think of an idea, so he discussed with Lao Huang: "Guy, do you think this will be successful?" Use your donkey cart to transport the remains of our friend to the foot of Mount Jungnam for burial, and I will pay you more for the feet, okay?" ”
That Lao Huang was used to being a forbidden army, and he had only been a porter for a month or two, and he was already impatient with the days when he was busy all day to earn a little money of one or twenty cents. Today, he also beat the Tubo people together with the people in the city for a while, but when the Tubo people beat less and less, and the streets and alleys of the city were crowded with men, women, and children celebrating the reconquest of Chang'an, blocking the road to death, making it difficult for him to drive the donkey cart, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind: Why not take advantage of the chaos to get into the palace, steal some treasures to make, maybe you can hand over good luck and make a windfall, and from then on he will not have to live this tight life.
