Chapter 52: Refuge
Just after the end of the day, the defenders of the west gate of Feng'an saw a team of inner temple guards rushing towards this side, and Zheng, the elder of the first police battalion, two sentinels, and one team of three gangs, shouted in surprise: "It's strange, why did these boys come so early today." ”
Feng'an city gates by the inner temple and the police battalion jointly stationed, the division of labor between the two is clear, during the day to the police battalion mainly, the inner temple fang only sent two supervisors, the night is stationed by the inner temple fang, the time of the two handover is two quarters in the morning, two quarters in the evening,
"Hey, it's not good to come early, let's get frozen here." When several soldiers saw that someone was coming to take over, their expressions relaxed, and they were all loose and ready to withdraw.
"Wait, pick up the guy."
Lao Zheng found that the situation was a little wrong, the night shift in the inner temple was the Xuanyi Brigade, the Xuanyi Brigade was adapted from the original Feng'an Battalion, and there was a group on duty at night according to the regulations, that is, ten people, but there were no less than fifty people in this team.
"Lao Zheng is me, why don't you know me." The one who spoke was a gang leader of the Xuanyi Brigade, surnamed Tang, called Tangshan,
"Oh, it's my brother, it's too dark at night and I can't see it clearly for a while, don't blame, don't blame."
Lao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, Tangshan has worked with him for a long time, a young man, high-spirited, except for sometimes not very particular about words, but he is a good person, a good young man,
"Why are so many people here today?"
Lao Zheng took a lantern and took a picture behind him, and suddenly panicked in his heart, there was a female general and a lean black-faced man standing behind Tangshan, both of whom knew each other, Zhu Qi, the commander of the Inner Temple Fang, and Mu Li, Lao Zheng suddenly noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange tonight, what did the Inner Temple Fang do, he couldn't understand it in his heart, and said that the Zuo Mansion was powerful, but in Fengzhou, the most powerful was not the Zuo Mansion, but the Inner Temple, no matter how big an official you are, how powerful you are, and you will have to fall into a layer of skin in their hands, They may want your life with a casual word, Lao Zheng didn't want to provoke right and wrong, so he quickly lowered his head and did the handover work with Tangshan, his subordinates also felt this tense atmosphere, as soon as the handover was completed, Lao Zheng gathered the team and drove back to the camp, but it was too late to leave, a small colonel behind Zhu Qi stretched out his hand to stop Lao Zheng, and said with a gloomy face: "Please come with me." ”
All the soldiers looked at each other, but no one dared to answer, Lao Zheng panicked, he fell to his knees with a thud, and pleaded in a trembling voice: "We don't see anything, we won't say anything, you can't do this." Mu Li sneered: "What did we do, is it wrong to see how hard you are to invite you to have a meal at night." ”
Lao Zheng was dumbfounded, and Tang San urged in a low voice: "If you are told to leave, you will leave, they are all a family, who can harm you." Lao Zheng looked at everyone blankly, Mu Li coughed a little annoyed, and said angrily: "Don't go quickly, if you don't leave, grab it all." "A group of men fled in a panic,
Mu Li felt that all this in front of him was really a bit ridiculous, who became a cannibalistic demon in the eyes of outsiders, everyone was afraid to hide, as soon as the police battalion soldiers withdrew, the inner temple fang controlled the inside and outside, Zhu Qi personally checked it, and waited with Mu Li by the suspension bridge outside the city gate,
At the end of the time, a black oil cloth carriage came along the riverside road, along the river road from Feng'an West Gate to Feng'an southwest five miles of Nangang Town, Nangang Town was originally a fishing village, across the river and Fairy Mountain can be seen, the geographical location is very superior, Yang Hao built a commercial wharf there, merchants quickly accumulated around the wharf, just one or two years to become a town with a population of nearly 10,000 people, not long ago the road to the three-way mouth on the other side of Henan was renovated, so that the geographical advantages of Nangang Town are more obvious, It has become the south gate of Feng'an,
The driver was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, followed by two strong men on horseback, dressed like characters in the rivers and lakes, the world was not very peaceful, and it was common for rich people to travel long distances to hire a few escorts on the road, everything seemed to be sparse and ordinary, but when Zhu Qi and Mu Li saw the carriage, they suddenly became inexplicably nervous, and the two of them stepped forward with their whole clothes, Zhu Qi knelt down with a knife on one knee, and said: "Minister, Zhu Qi takes over." "Bow down to the ground,
"General Zhu, please get up, female general, please get up."
A delicate voice came from the car, the two got up and let go on the side of the road, Mu Li beckoned, eight guards trotted over, guarding the carriage around, Mu Li jumped into the carriage to escort him, the carriage squeaked into the west gate of Feng'an, Zhu Qi stood still, he said to the two horseback guards: "Thank you two for your help, Rong Zhu will repay after seven days." The two also saluted: "Our lives were saved by Master Zhu, but there is an order not to give up." ”
Yang Hao dressed in plain clothes to greet in front of the gate of the Lingering Garden, Fengzhou State Guest House is divided into three areas, the main body is located in the northeast corner of the Defense Embassy, is a new two-story brick and stone building, the appearance of the building is painted by Yang Hao, the interior is designed by Gruss, there are more than 30 sets of large and small rooms, for general official entertainment, the west area is located outside the back door of the Defense Embassy, is composed of five independent courtyards, for higher-grade official reception,
In addition, there is a manor covering an area of about 10 acres in the southwest of the Defense Embassy, named "Lingering Garden", the garden is divided into three areas, both independent and unified in one, the Lingering Garden is not luxurious, but it covers a vast area, the forest is beautiful, in the increasingly prosperous Feng'an City has a unique quiet, the Lingering Garden originally belonged to a giant in Fengzhou, this person smuggled and sold salt, iron and other contraband to Khitan and other places, profiteering,
He hired a large number of Khitans, a month ago when Yang Hao and the Khitans fought fiercely in Datongchuan, these Khitans created rumors in Feng'an City, set fire to kill, Neisifang secretly arrested and interrogated a dry Khitans, and then pulled out this giant businessman has been collecting intelligence for the Khitans for many years, Yang Hao's whereabouts in the Tiande Army leaked secrets related to him, Neisifang soon arrested him, and confiscated all his family property, including Liuyuan,
At this moment, there is only one person in the huge Lingering Garden: Meng Bochang's widow Wang Yun'er, Wang Yun'er has been living outside the back door of the defense envoy, after getting the Lingering Garden, Yang Hao renovated the most essential part, and then let Wang Yun'er move in to live, after deciding to take Li Qing to Feng'an, Yang Hao chose the Lingering Garden to settle her, Feng'an is a small place, and only this place can be handled,
The news of Li Qing's coming to Feng'an has been highly confidential, and even Qing'er and the three of them don't know, but Wang Yun'er knows it clearly, and when she learned that she was going to be a neighbor with a princess in the future, Wang Yun'er seemed quite nervous, and asked Yang Hao to move out of the Lingering Garden several times, Yang Hao persuaded her: "Everyone who comes is a guest, how can you say that if you come to a new guest, you will have to move the old guest away, unless you think you are the owner here, and it is natural for the host to let the guest be a guest." ”
Wang Yun'er pursed her lips and smiled: "Then I don't dare to be, I'm afraid that the princess will not be happy and embarrass you." Yang Hao said: "You can live in peace, I have a way." ”
Li Qing's carriage drove all the way to the main hall of the Lingering Garden, "Liuyunju", Yang Hao followed the carriage from the gate and trotted all the way, just arrived in Feng'an Li Qing gave himself a dismount, but Yang Hao did not have the slightest resentment, Yang Kai's death always made Yang Hao feel guilty about Li Qing,
"Minister, see Her Royal Highness the Princess, Chitose Chitose Chitose."
When Li Qing got out of the car, Yang Hao led a group of people to the ground and failed miserably, Li Qing stood in front of Yang Hao, and said condescendingly: "Since you know that this palace is coming, why don't you wear official robes, do you look down on this palace." ”
"The minister has to do this in order to hide people's eyes and ears, please forgive your Highness."
"Cover people's eyes." Li Qing snorted lightly, "Has this palace brought you a lot of trouble when it comes to Fengzhou, if there is, you can say it, and this palace will leave immediately." ”
Li Qing's tone of speech became more and more harsh, Yang Hao lay on the ground for a long time and did not move, Lan Yu gave Li Qing a look, Li Qing seemed to realize that there were still people kneeling on the ground at this time, and an unexpected scene happened: Li Qing suddenly bent down to help Yang Hao, this overly intimate action was in stark contrast to the indifference just now, which made Yang Hao a little confused for a while,
He was stunned for a while, his eyes were so rude to look directly at Li Qing, and he hadn't seen him for more than a year, Li Qing in front of him had completely taken off her youth and immaturity, she had become mature, her slightly tired face was carved like white jade, exquisite and suffocating, the body was already slim, her waist was convex and concave, her cherry mouth was still as cute as before, but there was clearly a little vicissitudes in her eyes,
"Princess, you, you've changed."
Yang Hao is quite emotional, time flies, many things still feel like yesterday, in fact, it is gone and can not be returned, everything in Chang'an still often appears in his dreams, a dream wakes up a tear, many beautiful past in such endless nostalgia into the elixir honey, it is better to drink it than to treasure it, never drink it, always treasure it in the most important position in the bottom of the heart, always treat it as a treasure, time passes, the longer the fragrance,
"Alas...... It's rare that you remember what I used to be. ”
Li Qing just smiled like that, it was a sweet smile, and her eyes were still calm, Yang Hao's heart suddenly chuckled, where did he seem to have appeared in this scene in front of him, by the way, it was in a dream, until this time, Yang Hao realized that he had actually not forgotten Li Qing all these years,
When Jin Taoyin came to persuade himself to try to take Li Qing to Fengzhou, he was ready to refuse her out of reason, but after the ordnance factory rescued the infatuated girl Zhu Lan, Yang Hao suddenly changed his mind, he felt that he needed to stand up and help her, and when the flag team left Fengzhou, Yang Hao was looking for all kinds of plausible reasons for this move, trying to hide his true thoughts,
But every time the hustle and bustle stops in the dead of night, Yang Hao will suffer from his heart.
"The ministers will prepare a banquet and wash the dust for the princess."
Guessing that Li Qing hadn't eaten at the moment, Yang Hao was distressed for a while, and without her consent, he asked people to bring out the banquet, without saying anything, the hungry stomach had already made a sound of betrayal,
