The two of them got out of the car together, and in the dim sky as dark as night, they saw a large group of people rushing here. And Yuan Bi was obviously at a loss, so he could only wait and see. Unexpectedly, Yuan Bi was so timid at the critical moment, and Yuan Mingyue and Yifu Yue'e were extremely disappointed.

The large group of men was already approaching. Before Yuan Mingyue and Yue'e could see clearly, Yuan Bi's eyesight on the horse could see far away, and he suddenly said happily, "It's General Wang Sizheng!" ”

"Lord? Is there a main car? Yuan Mingyue asked Yuan Bi loudly, and she also tried to look.

When the team approached, Yuan Mingyue was still disappointed. It was indeed Wang Sizheng, the general of the Chinese army, who came with the Su Guards, accompanied by Hu Sichun, but there was no emperor Yuan Xiu.

After the rendezvous, after discussion, it was decided that the brigade would be stationed here and wait. Wang Sizheng led people to the east to meet the car.

However, just as Wang Sizheng was about to set off, Yuan Bi saw several horsemen coming west in the distance. When I got closer, it was actually Emperor Yuan Xiu, and the Metropolitan Governor Yu Jin came west with a few sergeants. This time everyone was happy.

Yuan Bi jumped off the horse at this time and knelt down to greet the Son of Heaven, and said happily, "God bless the Great Wei Sheji, the ancestor god and spirit protector are all here last week." ”

Hu Sichun also said happily, "The Lord's move to the west is really good, and he will eventually be able to turn danger into a disaster, and he will become the master of Zhongxing in the future." ”

Only Wang Sizheng and Yu Shen didn't care about congratulating at this time, and after they were busy making arrangements, they asked to drive west.

Emperor Yuan Xiu did not respond too much to Yuan Bi and Hu Sichun's words. Yuan Mingyue saw that he was absent-minded. In the end, under the service of everyone, the emperor got into the ox cart, and he couldn't take care of it, so he could only share a car with Zuo Zhaoyi, Yuan Mingyue, and Nanyang Princess Yi Fu.

Just as he was about to set off, the emperor suddenly ordered the governor of the capital to be summoned to the ox cart.

Yuan Xiu leaned out of the car and whispered, "The Metropolitan Governor must bring the queen no matter what." ”

Yu Jin was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood, and said frankly, "Rongchen Xu Tu, at this time, it is important to protect the safety of the holy driver. ”

Yuan Xiu didn't speak again, and sat back in the car with a heavy heart.

In the wind and sand, Emperor Yuan Xiu's car set off towards Tongguan.

Tongguan, Beiwei Mountain, facing the Yellow River, is the gateway to the west into the Guanzhong. The terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, a husband is a pass, ten thousand people are not open, Tongguan has been a place for soldiers to fight for in ancient times.

I don't know how long I walked, but the sky became bright and dark, dark and bright. The flying sand and rocks have long gone, but the sky is clear but the north wind is gusting. The summer in Luoyang has been left behind, but the summer in Guanzhong makes people feel that autumn is strong. Emperor Yuan Xiu nested in the ox cart for I don't know how long, and seeing that Tongguan was in sight, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The team stopped to trim, and Yuan Xiu also got off the ox cart. Stretch your muscles and breathe freely. Yu Jin took people to Tongguan to investigate the situation in the pass. According to the original plan, someone in Guanzhong will respond. Wang Sizheng, Yuan Bi, Hu Sichun and others escorted the holy car and waited here.

Zuo Zhaoyi, Yuan Mingyue, and Nanyang Princess Yi Fushi also got out of the car. These few days can only temporarily abandon the ritual festival and travel with the emperor in the same car. Seeing that she had arrived at Tongguan, Yue'e didn't have so many cranky thoughts in her heart, she just wanted to get to Chang'an as soon as possible and see her husband Nanyang Wang Yuanbao Torch.

Looking at Tongguan in the distance, Yue'e had a dream-like feeling. originally thought that she would be in Luoyang for the rest of her life, and Nanyang Wangfu was already her established fate. Who would have thought that life would be changeable, and from now on, she would also take Guanzhong as her home and Chang'an as her home.

Yuan Mingyue didn't have as much emotion as Yue'e, and her whole energy in the past few days was on Yuan Xiu's body. It stands to reason that after escaping from Luoyang and seeing that Guanzhong was in sight, Yuan Mingyue could be regarded as having fulfilled his wish. But I don't know why, not only did I not have the joy of getting my wish, but I had a kind of refreshing melancholy. Suddenly, I felt that the road ahead was long, the future was uncertain, and I had a faint fear of the future.

Especially in the past few days, I always feel that Yuan Xiu has a lot of things on his mind. After all, on the way, there was Princess Nanyang again, Yuan Mingyue didn't have the opportunity to talk freely with Yuan Xiu, and she couldn't know that the emperor went all the way out of the palace, and from Qianxiang Temple to the city, until she was found to meet, what happened during this period. In fact, even if there is an opportunity, Yuan Xiu may not necessarily speak freely to her. knew that he must not be able to let go of Queen Gao Changjun, but this was something that was originally expected. There is a take-and-take, Yuan Mingyue still believes that when he arrives in Chang'an, everything will have a new beginning.

In fact, except for Yu Jin's kind of joy of returning with merit, others are lost and confused in their hearts. After all, Luoyang has been the capital for a long time, and he is regarded as an orthodox temple minister in Luoyang. And Guanzhong has always been in the hands of Yuwentai, and when he arrives in Chang'an, he can only be regarded as a guest residence, and there is always a feeling that he is under the eaves. Even if he follows the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven goes out to be a powerful minister, which is a rare thing in ancient times. The Son of Heaven does not know what will happen next, let alone a minister?

Emperor Yuan Xiu seemed to be unaware of the thoughts of the people around him. Overlooking the majestic Tongguan Ancient Pass, the imperial pride of the infinite ups and downs of the country is born. He finally has the opportunity to truly reign over the world, how many ambitions have not been rewarded, this is what a Xianbei boy and the Tuoba Emperor should do.

The north wind was blowing as cold as autumn, and suddenly I heard Yuan Bi's exclamation, "Isn't that person the prince of Bohai and Gao Cheng in the servant?" "Yuan Bi's eyesight is extremely good, he naturally can't be mistaken.

When Yuan Xiu heard him call out the name "Gao Cheng", he was immediately startled and turned back suddenly. Only then did he realize that everyone except him was extremely nervous looking at the flying horses that were overwhelming in the distance. Obviously, these Wei troops are chasing after here, and the first to rush to the front can already be seen very clearly as the distance closes.

The armored figure with a vigorous posture is indeed Gao Cheng.

Yuan Xiu had never seen Gao Cheng like a dragon and a tiger on the battlefield before, only to see that he was well-dressed every day and looked elegant, and his face was like a peerless beauty. But he is menacing, domineering and unstoppable, and he is indeed a mighty man, but he is really shocked.

When he was frightened, Gao Cheng had already rushed to the scene. He motioned with his hand for the brigade to stop, and rode his light prancing horse to the front of Emperor Yuan Xiu. Yuan Mingyue, who was originally standing beside Yuan Xiu, and Yifu Yue'e, who was beside Yuan Mingyue, didn't move, but just looked at Gao Cheng with fear in their hearts.

Hu Sichun stepped back silently. Only Wang Sizheng and Yuan Bi clenched the hilt of the sword under their waist and stepped forward. Obviously, Gao Cheng looked at them casually, glanced around, and didn't take them seriously. He saw the situation clearly, glanced at Wang Sizheng and Yuan Bi again, and finally swept his gaze back to Yuan Xiu, and simply took off his pocket, but he didn't get off the horse, just looked at Yuan Xiu and said meaningfully, "Your Majesty left the country and went to the capital, without saying goodbye, with these people, what are you doing in Tongguan?" ”

"Among the high servants, you are still a courtier of Great Wei, why are you so arrogant and uncourteous?"

Suddenly, Yuan Mingyue's voice sounded. Just when everyone was thinking about advancing and retreating, it was the emperor's concubine, Zuo Zhaoyi Yuan Mingyue stepped forward to question Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng was stunned, but he didn't expect Yuan Mingyue to question him like this. But he quickly reflected, stared at Yuan Mingyue, and suddenly saw Nanyang Princess Yifu Yue'e beside her at a glance. As if he had been stabbed in the heart by a needle, the horse's hooves took a few steps forward, but he finally managed to control himself.

"Your Majesty goes to the country and leaves home, can there be a gentleman's ceremony?" Gao Cheng did not answer Yuan Mingyue directly, but still stared at Yuan Xiu.

"Gao Shizhong chased from Luoyang to this Tongguan, is it just to ask why Lone didn't say goodbye?" Yuan Xiu replied proudly. "The rebellion of the Wei family and country began with Er's father and son, what is Er's face to question the Son of Heaven here?" Yuan Xiu swept the depressed anger in his chest, and instead asked Gao Cheng. "Now that you have arrived in Guanzhong, Lone might as well speak to you bluntly. Lone has decided to move the capital to Chang'an, if the father and son think that they are Wei Chen, they will come to Chang'an to take up the matter, and Lone can also ignore the past. ”

Gao Cheng listened to what Yuan Xiu said, but he laughed without thinking about it, "Your Majesty's words are interesting. Your Majesty doesn't believe in the father and son, does he believe in Yu Wentai? Although the father and son are specialized, they do not have the heart of disobedience. Yuwentai took advantage of the gap to take the position and put it into his private pocket according to Guanzhong, what kind of behavior is this? Is it worth His Majesty to go to the country and leave home for him? ”

Yuan Xiu was speechless when asked. It was a question he hadn't thought about before.

And Yi Fu Yue'e on Yuan Xiu's side suddenly couldn't help but tremble slightly. Thinking of that Captain of the Horse, thinking that Yuwentai in Guanzhong would become another great prime minister Gao Huan, and thinking of not fulfilling the entrustment of the eldest princess and her husband in the secret letter, she felt extremely regretful.

Gao Cheng didn't want to bother to say any more, so he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to argue with the ministers here, let's go back to the capital first." Saying that, he had already approached, and leaned over from his horse to grab Yuan Xiu.

Yuan Mingyue grabbed Yuan Xiu and turned around and ran. At this time, Hu Sichun, who was originally behind Yuan Xiu, let Yuan Xiu and Yuan Mingyue pass, and he stepped forward, pushing Yi Fu Yue'e, who was still stunned in the local area, to the front. Wang Sizheng and Yuan Bi saw that the emperor had fled, so they both thought in their hearts to resist Gao Cheng first and buy time for Yuan Xiu.

Gao Cheng didn't expect to grab it, Yuan Xiu had escaped in an instant, and Yifu Yue'e was pushed to the front. Gao Cheng couldn't stop it, so he just took advantage of the situation to stop Yi Fu Yue'e and mentioned himself immediately. Gao Cheng was actually surprised, but since he had already been caught, he put Yue'e on the saddle in front of him. While he wrapped his arms tightly around Ephes, he held the reins in his hand and whipped with his other hand. The mount hissed and ran forward, and went to chase Yuan Xiu and Yuan Mingyue. The large group of flying horses behind him also followed.

Epherd's did not expect it at all. It wasn't until Gao Cheng's horse galloped up that she suddenly understood that she had been captured by Gao Cheng. And Emperor Yuan Xiu, Zuo Zhaoyi, Yuan Mingyue, Shizhong Hu Sichun and others had abandoned her and fled towards Tongguan. When Yue'e came to her senses, she struggled Gao Cheng's horse, trying to break free from Gao Cheng and jump off the horse, even if it was a death. This prince of the Bohai Sea and the high servant are not courteous in the inner court of the Forbidden Palace, so domineering and willful, he falls into his hands, and it is really better to live than to die.

At this time, Wang Sizheng and Yuan Bi attacked with two horses. Gao Cheng has to deal with the two of them on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has to protect Yue'e and prevent her from getting hurt, so obviously he can't have the upper hand.

Yue'e felt Gao Cheng rise up to fight, and was even more anxious to get out of his embrace. Gao Cheng held her body with one arm, held the reins in his hand, and held the sword in the other hand to attack and defend at the same time.

"Don't move!" Yue'e suddenly heard Gao Cheng shouting. She was so shocked that she stopped struggling, and couldn't help but glance at Gao Cheng. He didn't bother to look at her, but the emerald eyes of his beautiful face still filled her heart with fear.

At this time, Gao Cheng slashed Yuan Bi in the shoulder with a sword. Yuan Bi screamed in pain, and the sword was taken off. Yuan Bi is not a brave general, if it weren't for Gao Cheng with Yi Fu, and he was one against two, he would not be Gao Cheng's opponent.

At this time, only Wang Sizheng was left. Wang Sizheng was originally a defeated general under Gao Cheng, but at this moment, he had no Yuan Bi to accompany him, and he was soon defeated.

Gao Cheng had no intention of fighting, so he seized the gap and chased after Emperor Yuan Xiu, who had fled away.

"Gao Shizhong, let me go!" Epherds began to break free again.

"The princess also has the same mind as the lord, so she really believes in that Yuwentai?" Gao Cheng chased forward, and at the same time, he was still interested and amused by Yue'e.

"A concubine is a woman, regardless of state affairs. It has nothing to do with the horse captain, where the husband is, the concubine should follow. Yue'e still hopes to convince Gao Cheng to let her go.

"What's wrong with the princess, how can she be without a husband?" Gao Cheng smiled, and at the same time his eyes were aimed at Yuan Xiu in the distance.

Yue'e listened to his tone, her heart was anxious, and she was about to speak, when Gao Cheng suddenly hugged her tightly. Before she could struggle, Gao Cheng hugged her and lowered her body to the left. A sharp arrow "swished" and slashed quickly. If it weren't for Gao Cheng's eyes and ears, he would have been shot by sharp arrows.

Gao Cheng hugged Yue'e and straightened up again, looking at the other side. Emperor Yuanxiu and the others were gone, and the opposite team rode out of Tongguan. And the person who led the flying horse out of the customs and shot it with an arrow was actually the hussar general Yuwentai who was supposed to be in Chang'an.
