Chapter 9: The Bitter Meat Scheme
Wan Shi in the carriage opened his eyes, and saw that his mother had woken up, Gu Tianying was inevitably a little apprehensive in his heart, anyway, in this era, it is a big unfilial piety to beat his mother, whether it is in accordance with national law or following family rules, this is a big sin to lose his head. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Ying'er? Silly boy! Why didn't you leave?! Gu Tianying was still thinking about how to explain it to his mother, Wan Shi took the lead in opening her mouth, she was knocked unconscious by Gu Tianying, she hadn't come back to her senses when she first woke up, and when she saw that she was locked up with Gu Tianying in a small room, she thought that her mother and son were caught by the Praetorian Guards.
"Mother, this is not a prisoner's carriage, it's a carriage, let's escape." Gu Tianying instantly understood what Wan meant and hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
"Escaped? This ......"
Without waiting for Wan Shi to finish speaking, Gu Tianying knelt down with a plop and said: "Mother, the child is not filial, in order to save your life, the child was forced to knock you unconscious, and then he took you out of the city." ”
"What? You...... You rebel, how dare you do this?! Wan Shi shuddered when he heard it.
As the saying goes, people are in a hurry to make a good move. Gu Tianying saw that Wan was really angry, and his mind turned to think of the bitter meat plan. Kneeling on his knees, he knelt forward two steps forward and hugged Wan's legs, and cried loudly, crying while saying, "Mother, there is no way for the child." Now that I'm without a father, I can't lose you anymore, woo woo ~ "
This time the Wan family was stunned, Gu Tianying used to be a beggar, and he didn't think much about this crying skill, so it was naturally easy to come by. Crying is tears, tears like bursting the embankment, that is called a miserable person, even Shunfu who drove the carriage couldn't help but cry secretly, and Chu Evillai outside the car cried loudly.
"Okay Ying'er, the boy doesn't flick if he has tears, don't cry. Before, my mother was too selfish, and I just wanted to die and go with your father, without considering your feelings, and my mother did something wrong. Wan's tears continued, and he hugged Gu Tianying and said sadly.
"Mother, the boy has tears and doesn't flick it, but he hasn't reached the sad place, woo woo woo ~ hew ~" The mother and son hugged their heads and cried again.
After a while, Shunfu outside the car couldn't help but remind: "Madam, young master, don't be too sad, those dog officials can't find us when they enter the city, they will definitely come to pursue, we have to hurry up and leave." ”
"Mother, you should pay attention, whether you leave or stay, I will give you all together, and I will never be separated." Gu Tianying saw that the fire was almost over, and said in a choked voice.
What else can the Wan family do now, she and Gu Feng only have such a son as Gu Tianying, and the incense of the Gu family must not be broken in her hands, so she has to agree to escape with her son.
Seeing that the bitter meat plan took effect, Gu Tianying was very happy, but he didn't show it on the surface, wiped the tears on his face, and said, "Shunfu, drive." ”
"Huh? Oh, come on, young lady, sit tight. Shunfu didn't have time to think about the fresh words in Gu Tianying's mouth, shook the reins, waved the whip, and the carriage ran again. Chu Evillai followed closely beside the carriage, not daring to lag behind.
Not long after Gu Tianying and a few people left, nearly 300 Praetorian Guards rushed to this grove, and the person at the head looked like a thief, it was the dog slave who was looking for the house, Wang Mao. The Praetorian Guards were fast, and they finally caught up with Gu Tianying and the others while they were delayed here.
Wang Mao sat on the horse and looked left and right, and saw that there was a broken tree on the side, and the fold was still new, and then looked carefully, and found that there were two new axle traces on the ground. Not daring to delay, he led the military horse to chase forward along the tracks.
Here, Shunfu drove the carriage straight south, preparing to go to Yuhua Town in the south of Yichang City to buy a good horse for Chu Xilai, and it was not a long-term solution to let him follow on foot like this. Moreover, a few people came out in a hurry, only bringing enough silver and softness, and no dry food at all, which had to be replenished.
Just when a few people were about to rush to Yuhua Town, they heard the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounding behind them, Chu Xianlai turned his head to look back, and his heart was shocked, only to see the shadow of people and horses not far behind him, bringing up dust, and he knew that there were a lot of people at a glance.
Chu Evil came to secretly say that it was not good, and he didn't have to guess to know that this was the Praetorian Guards catching up.
"Big brother, the dog officials are chasing you!" Chu Xianlai hurried to the car window in two steps and shouted.
Gu Tianying frowned when he heard this, he didn't expect these Praetorian Guards to come so quickly.
Shunfu was too late to hide at this time, the Praetorian Guards were all good horses, Wang Mao was even sharper-eyed, and when he saw the carriage from afar, he waved his whip again and again, and rushed over.
"Ying'er, what should I do?" Wan asked with some concern.
"Mother, don't worry, everything has me." Gu Tianying comforted.
"Big brother, you protect your godmother and go first, and I will break off here." Chu Evil came and roared loudly.
"Don't panic, let's act when the opportunity arises." Gu Tianying still had a fluke mentality in his heart, and ordered Shunfu and Chu Evil to run towards Huayu Town as usual, and once they were recognized by the Praetorian Guards, they would force their way through.
"The carriage in front stops!" Within half an hour, Wang Mao led three hundred military horses to catch up and shouted loudly.
Shunfu had to stop the carriage, and Wang Mao led the military horse to quickly intercept the carriage and Chu Xilai.
Shunfu tried to suppress the tension in his heart, and asked in surprise: "This official, is there something wrong?" ”
Wang Mao only had the portraits of Wan and Gu Tianying in his hands, and he didn't know Shunfu and Chu Xilai, but he was very suspicious of this carriage in his heart. First, there is a black-faced man next to the carriage, who doesn't look like a subordinate, even if it is a subordinate, who will let the subordinate run with the carriage when he goes out. The second is that he sees that Shunfu is dressed exquisitely, and he doesn't look like a groom at all, so he thinks that this carriage is strange.
"I am Wang Mao, who came to Yichang City to copy the ancient family, I don't want the Gu family to be bold and rebellious thieves and dare to resist the order and escape, let me ask you, who are you? Where did you come from, where do you want to go, is there anyone in this carriage? Wang Mao stood up with triangular eyes, stared at Shunfu and asked several questions.
"Oh, Lord Huiyu, the little one's name is Zhang Xicai, he is the housekeeper of the Li Mansion in Yichang City, because my eldest lady is unwell, so he is in a hurry to personally drive the carriage to Huayu Town to seek medical treatment, and the eldest lady of my family is on the car, and there is no traitor that the adult is looking for." Shunfu hurriedly said.
As soon as he heard Shunfu's words, Gu Tianying in the car knew that something was wrong. Shunfu is the housekeeper of the ancient mansion, and he is undoubtedly a loyal and honest person who can be regarded by Gu Feng, and he has never told a lie, but now he has to make up a set casually in a hurry. But in his words, there are many flaws. First, how can there be a butler who drives the carriage himself, the thirty-six lines have their own abilities, and driving the carriage is not a job that the butler will do. Second, Yichang City is much bigger than Huayu Town, and there are naturally more famous doctors in Yichang City. If the eldest lady of any family is sick, she will naturally seek medical advice in Yichang City, or directly invite the doctor to the house for treatment, how can she take the lady to a small market town to seek medical treatment. Third, and the biggest flaw, that is, you shouldn't say that you and others are from Yichang City, and the time is not right.
Sure enough, as Gu Tianying expected, as soon as Wang Mao heard Shunfu's words, he immediately rode his horse back a few steps, waved his hand and shouted: "It is the traitor of the Gu family in the car, come here, take them down for me!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding Praetorian Guards raised their spears one after another and surrounded Shunfu and Chu Evil.
"What do you mean, sir? We're not thieves. Shun Fu said stiffly.
"Hmph, you still dare to quibble, after I arrived in Yichang City, I asked the city lord Li He to order that the four gates should be closed and no one should go out. You said that you came from Yichang City, according to the itinerary of the carriage, you waited less than half an hour to leave the city, and Yichang City was already under martial law at that time, how do you explain this? I dare to say that I am not a traitor, and when the thief in the car is captured by me, I will kill you first! ”
Wang Mao's words were stammered, and he secretly scolded himself for being too stupid, and the loopholes in his words were so big.
"Mrs. Gu, Young Master Gu, don't you get out of the car and be bound? Is it possible that the Praetorian Guards will get in the car and pull you two down? Wang Mao knew that Gu Tianying's martial arts were good, so he hid in the Praetorian Guards and shouted threateningly at the carriage.
Gu Tianying knew that it would be difficult to end well today, so he patted Wan's hands lightly, gave her a reassuring look, lifted Mei Xue on the car, and bowed down and stepped out of the carriage with a curtain of the car.
It seems that if there is no blood today, it will not be able to survive this catastrophe.
