Chapter 327: Out of Beijing
For the same remark, the guards at the palace gate did not strictly check it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Originally, there was chaos in the palace at the moment, and some of the guards guarding the door had been transferred.
The people who stayed behind were in a panic and were in no mood to guard the door.
Watching the palace door squeak and squeak slowly in front of her eyes, Kang Yan suppressed herself and didn't let her face show an excited expression.
This is just the palace gate of the inner city of the palace.
There are also two gates outside, Zhengyang Gate and Noon Gate, which are the outer gates of the palace.
Kang Yeon reminded herself to try to walk as steadily as possible and not to panic!
Successfully out of Zhengyang Gate.
As soon as I came out of Zhengyang Gate, I saw that the noon gate in front of me was suddenly opened outside, and a group of people shouted and poured in.
At noon, there was a sudden chaos at the gate.
The guards guarding the noon gate ran desperately towards the Zhengyang Gate, shouting, "Oh no, Ning Guogong brought someone in." ”
Kang Yeon was overjoyed.
The noon gate was wide open, and it was Ning Guogong who took the lead in rushing into the noon gate.
Kang Yeon trotted up to meet him.
"Uncle."
Ning Guocheng rushed in with a spear in his hand, and suddenly a person rushed out next to him.
He hurriedly gathered his body, looked fixedly, and saw that it was Kang Yan, and immediately said in surprise: "It's good that you are out of the palace, go quickly, it's too chaotic here, go out to Ningguo Mansion to find your fourth uncle, he will find a way to send you out of the city." ”
After that, without waiting for Kang Yan to ask again, he pushed Kang Yan behind him.
Behind him were all people brought by Ning Guogong, so naturally no one stopped him.
Kang Yan went out of the noon gate unimpeded.
Now outside the noon gate, she has a feeling of escaping death.
It was already getting dark, Kang Yan didn't dare to delay any longer, and walked quickly towards the Ningguo Mansion.
The eldest uncle has already broken through the Noon Gate, Zhengyang Gate and the Inner Palace Gate, and the guards are weak, so he must be able to take it soon, just in time to meet Qi Chenjing in the palace.
The sky gradually darkened, and Kang Yeon had not eaten anything since she entered the palace in the morning.
I was extremely nervous in the palace before, and I didn't feel hungry and tired, but this time my spirit relaxed slightly, and I suddenly felt hungry and tired, and my body was extremely tired.
The chaos at the gate of the palace has long attracted the attention of many people, although it is not known what is happening inside the palace, but the vigilance outside the palace has been strengthened.
Thinking about it, Qi Chenyu must have made a lot of preparations for letting them and his wife enter the palace.
The guards inside and outside the palace must be very strict.
Kang Yan remembered that Qi Chenyu had no fear when he held him hostage in the palace, and wanted to come to the soldiers and horses of the two battalions outside the city, and Qi Chenyu also made some arrangements in advance.
Now there may be soldiers and horses from the Jingdong camp or the Jingxi camp that have entered the city.
Otherwise, Qi Chenyu would not have been able to be so calm just by holding himself hostage.
Now just look at the soldiers and horses led by Meng Zihan outside the city and the two battalions, who is stronger.
Dragging her tired body, Kang Yeon quickly turned into a hidden alley and took off the armor on her body.
From time to time, people from the Five Cities Terracotta Division patrolled outside, and the armor on her body was too conspicuous.
Taking off her armor, Kang Yeon tied up her hair and instantly turned into a man.
Passing through the alley, Kang Yan recognized the direction, she remembered that Lao Shunxiang was in the west of the city, as if separated by two streets from Bibo Hutong.
In fact, she hasn't been in the capital for a long time, so she is not familiar with many places.
Will remember that Lao Shunxiang is in the west of the city, or because it is close to Bibo Hutong.
Most of the residences in Xicheng District are officials of the fourth rank and below, and the more western, the lower the official position, and there are some very rich imperial merchants or wealthy merchants.
This is also the reason why she chose the Kang family's house in Bibo Hutong in the first place.
Bibo Hutong is just west of Xicheng District.
Lao Shunxiang is the secret property of the Chen family, which was quietly purchased by the eldest princess Fuyun in her early years, and was used as a place for the eagle guards to secretly transmit news and gather and discuss.
It is an ordinary pawnshop on the surface, and it has nothing to do with the Chen family.
I know that there are only the eldest princess of Fuyun, the elders of the Chen family and the eagle guard in this place.
When she and Qi Chenjing left Beijing, and the eldest princess of Fuyun handed over the eagle guard to them, she mentioned this place.
From the east to the west of the city, there are more than a dozen streets to pass through, and there are soldiers patrolling each street.
Kang Yan carefully dodged, and finally got out of the east of the city without danger.
By the time they arrived in the west of the city, it was completely dark, and Kang Yeon's legs were as heavy as lead.
The wind picked up on the street, and the cold wind passed through Kang Yeon's collar and went straight into the placket of her clothes, and she shivered from the cold.
She gritted her teeth and searched for the street where Lao Shunxiang was located by her impression.
Fortunately, compared with the frequent patrols in the east of the city, the security in the west of the city is looser.
When she walked to the door of Lao Shunxiang, the whole person was already cold, shivering from the cold.
It was already dark, and Lao Shunxiang had already gotten off the threshold and closed, and the two dim lanterns hanging at the door were fluttering in the cold wind.
Slapped the door panel of Lao Shunxiang with an unconscious hand.
A vigilant voice sounded at the door: "Who?" ”
It was the voice of the fourth uncle.
Kang Yeon's eyes were hot, and she almost burst into tears.
"It's me, Fourth Uncle."
There was a sound of chattering in the door, and in a moment, the door panel was opened a small one, and the fourth master Chen quickly showed his head, confirmed that it was Kang Yan, and hurriedly reached out and pulled Kang Yan in.
After getting off the door panel again, Master Chen Si turned around and looked at Kang Yan with a concerned face, "It's good to come out, it's good to come out, but are you hurt?" ”
Kang Yeon sniffed and shook her head.
Fourth Master Chen led her back into the small courtyard behind the pawnshop.
A brazier was lit in the house, and a hot breath came to her face, Kang Yeon felt that her face was hot and itchy, but her body still felt very cold.
Fourth Master Chen poured her a cup of hot tea.
Kang Yan drank two cups of hot tea in a row before she felt that her body was slowly relieving.
"Is the family settled?"
"How did you get out?"
The two asked in unison.
"The family has all arranged it, you don't have to worry about it," Master Chen Si said quickly, "You tell me how you came out first?" How's the palace doing now? ”
Kang Yan quickly said the process of leaving the palace, "......... In order to get the Praetorian Guard commander away as soon as possible, the sixth cousin stayed in the palace, and when I went out of the noon gate, the eldest uncle and they had already hit Zhengyangmen. ”
It's been almost two hours since she came out, and she doesn't know what the situation is now, Kang Yan is a little melancholy in her heart.
Fourth Master Chen silently calculated the time in his heart, if it goes well, he should be able to take the palace tonight!
His heart is also a little bottomless.
"I'll find a way to arrange for you to go out of the city tonight, it's too dangerous in the city, you can't be in the city all the time."
Kang Yan was a little hesitant, "Fourth uncle, do you have to go out of the city?" If you take the palace tonight, won't you be able to ............?"
Qi Chenjing is still in the capital, and Kang Yan doesn't want to go out of the city.
Fourth Master Chen shook his head, "Do you want to say that if you control the palace and capture Qi Chenyu, you can show the world that he is not a real prince?" Then you won't be in danger in the capital? ”
Kang Yeon bit her lip and nodded.
"Then what if you can't catch Qi Chenyu?" Fourth Master Chen analyzed the possible consequences of the matter to her, "Or let's put it this way, although there is evidence that Qi Chenyu is not the prince, but the soldiers stationed in the capital and the people of the world do not know what happened in the palace, in their opinion, it is King An and the emperor who fought for the throne and fought." ”
Kang Yeon's face changed.
"Although the people in the palace who are attending the court meeting today know what happened, but those people are now estimated to have killed and injured more than half of them, not to mention that they can't leave the palace, even if they leave the palace, how many people can stand up and testify? Even if they come out to testify, how many people will believe it? ”
"We are insiders, so we firmly believe that what we think is right, for the ministers and the people, they are outsiders, but it is a matter of standing in line, and choosing Qi Chenjing and Qi Chenyu is just that it is more in line with their interests."
Is that so? Kang Yeon's expression was a little complicated.
She understood what the fourth uncle meant.
That is to say, although they all know that Qi Chenjing is the most fair and reasonable if he ascends the throne as emperor, in the eyes of others, it is inevitable that all kinds of speculations will be inevitable.
This made Kang Yan a little depressed.
It's as if you've done the right thing, but to outsiders, it's as if what you're doing doesn't make sense.
It's uncomfortable.
Master Chen Si sighed, "It's hard to stop everyone's mouth, as long as we feel that we have a clear conscience, why should we care what others say." ”
But it's good to be worthy of your heart.
Old Master Chen Si has always been a little uninhibited.
It seems to be the same way, Kang Yan thought about it, and listened to Master Chen Si turn the topic back.
"After all, Qi Chenyu has been the emperor for more than six years, and there are many courtiers who are loyal to him, not to mention others, it is Wang Changyun, the commander of the Jingxi camp, even if he is loyal."
"Even if Ah Jing controls the palace, there are still soldiers and horses stationed in Jingxi and Jingdong camps outside the city, and there are people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division in the city, they will not necessarily surrender to Ah Jing, there will definitely be a vicious battle, and if someone takes advantage of the chaos to have different intentions, I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome."
Kang Yan's heart sank, "Fourth uncle is saying that someone will take advantage of the chaos to raise troops?" ”
Fourth Master Chen nodded, "I don't rule out this possibility, moreover, we just said so much, the premise is that Ah Jing can successfully control the palace tonight, if not, it is estimated that it will be even more chaotic, and it will be more troublesome for you to stay in the city at that time." ”
Kang Yan couldn't help but feel sorry when she remembered that Qi Chenyu used her to threaten Qi Chenjing in the palace today.
Today she was lucky, she caught up with her sixth cousin and sneaked into the palace to save her.
If there is a next time, it may not be.
"Now that Ah Jing's people outside have begun to attack the city?" Deciding to leave the city, Kang Yeon immediately began to inquire about the status of the siege outside.
Fourth Master Chen shook his head, "I made a feint in the afternoon, which created a little chaos, so if you want to go out of the city, you can only go out tonight, after tonight, it is estimated that you will never be able to go out again." ”
"What does the fourth uncle have in mind?"
"Now the city gate is very strict, and it is difficult to get out," Fourth Master Chen frowned and got up, "I'll ask someone to send you something to eat, I'll go out and arrange it first, and see if there is a way?" ”
Kang Yan nodded, she hadn't eaten for a day, and if she didn't eat something, she estimated that she wouldn't be able to hold on.
After Mr. Chen Si left, Lao Shunxiang's shopkeeper brought a bowl of noodles to Kang Yan.
Kang Yeon ate absentmindedly.
On the one hand, she was worried about Qi Chenjing in the palace, and she didn't know what the situation was now.
On the other hand, he was worried about being taken out of the city by Kang Shaofan and Su Yuhuan, and the fourth master Chen said that they followed the eldest princess Fuyun to a remote Zhuangzi.
From birth to the present, Brother Tan has been fed by her personally, and has never eaten a mouthful of milk from the nurse.
Now that she hasn't gone back for a day, Brother Tan must be crying a lot.
I don't know if Mama Zhang can coax her.
Speaking of Mama Zhang, she left the palace earlier than herself, so she should be able to reconcile with Su Yuhuan smoothly, right?
A lot of chaotic thoughts came to her mind for a while, and Kang Yeon was a little upset.
A bowl of noodles was eaten for half an hour, but Master Chen Si had not come back.
Kang Yeon was a little worried and prepared to go out and have a look.
only to find that it was surprisingly quiet outside.
She lifted the thick cotton curtain of the door, and was just about to go out when she heard the sound of chaotic footsteps coming from the front yard.
Seeing that Master Chen Si rushed over from the front yard in a panic, seeing that she was now in the yard, he pulled her up and ran to the back.
"Oh no, someone found it here, and someone came to search it."
Kang Yan was startled, and while running back with Master Chen Si, she asked, "How can this place be exposed?" ”
This is the place where the Eagle Guard secretly gathers, and few people know about it, how can anyone be exposed?
Fourth Master Chen's face darkened, "I don't know, either someone betrayed us, or someone targeted you when you came over." ”
While they were talking, the two had already run to the backyard.
The front door panel was slammed with a shocking sound.
"Open the door, do a routine search, open the door."
After shouting, I heard a crackling sound, and the door panel had been kicked from the outside.
Chaotic footsteps, noisy sounds.
Someone has already broken in.
The sound of dragging footsteps is getting closer.
Master Chen Si glanced at Kang Yan, opened the back door, poked his head out and looked at the back door, and no one searched for the time being.
Hurriedly pulled Kang Yan out the door.
Old Shunxiang's back door is a dark alley.
The silence in the alley makes people a little panicked.
Fourth Master Chen pulled Kang Yan into the darkness.
When I ran to the end of the alley, I heard that the back door of Lao Shunxiang's side had been opened.
The cacophony of sounds pierced the silence of the night.
"Ran over there, over there."
"Chase over there."
The darkness suddenly brightened.
The soldiers behind him held torches, and the longing figure gradually approached.
Fourth Master Chen pushed Kang Yan to the left, and hurriedly explained: "I'll go and lead them away, only the West City Gate is the most loosely guarded of the four gates of the capital at the moment, I'll wait for you over there." ”
"Fourth uncle!" Kang Yeon shouted anxiously.
Fourth Master Chen had already plunged headlong into the dark alley ahead.
The people chasing after him were getting closer and closer.
Kang Yan gritted her teeth and took a deep look at the alley where Fourth Master Chen had disappeared.
Then, he suddenly turned around and ran in the opposite direction.
In the alley at the head of the alley, there was no movement in the blink of an eye, only darkness. (To be continued.) )
