"In the bamboo forest behind, His Highness can't walk.!" Liang Huaiji pointed to the bamboo forest more than two miles away and said.

"Let's go."

"Huh," Liang Huaiji replied loudly at this time. The six of them walked towards the bamboo forest in the southeast direction, and on the way, Zheng Lang asked again, "How is Your Highness?" ”

"Still, good," Liang Huaiji replied a little hesitantly, and now this situation, I don't know if it's good or bad.

"How did it get like this?"

"Zheng Xianggong, it's the slave's fault," Liang Huaiji almost cried.

"Tell me about it."

Liang Huaiji told what happened.

At that time, Gao Tao came up with the idea of sending a message to Zheng Lang on behalf of Zhao Niannu, but Liang Huaiji vetoed it. It's not that I don't believe Zheng Lang, Zheng Lang is a scholar, and he is thousands of miles away, how can he meddle? So he came up with an idea that couldn't be spoiled anymore, and escaped, and fled to Zheng Lang.

When Zhao Niannu heard the joy, he almost didn't think about it and immediately agreed.

It's not so easy to escape, it is estimated that as soon as the front escapes, the officers and soldiers will be caught back, and the emperor will be even more furious. The master and servant, who had little worldly experience, began to mumble and deliberate, and finally came up with a solution.

You can't escape back in the palace, you have to go back to the Pony Mansion first. Zhao Niannu asked the emperor to go back, and there was only one condition, to bring Liang Huaiji. Zhao Zhen didn't think about what happened later, and when he saw that his daughter was going back, he was naturally happy.

The Northern Song Dynasty was not as later people imagined, marriage was still not old-fashioned, divorce and remarriage were allowed, and even often the son died, and the daughter-in-law was young and did not marry at home for a long time. On the contrary, it will attract rumors from the outside world, saying that the father-in-law wants to pick up ashes. Why did Bao Zheng repeatedly force his daughter-in-law, son, you should get married, that is this kind of atmosphere. But remarrying is not a good name after all. Therefore, there were princesses in the Tang Dynasty who married for the second and third marriages, but there were very few princesses in the Song Dynasty who married for the second and third marriages.

Zhao Zhen likes to lead by example, and he also wants his daughter to lead a good start for the people of the world. I don't want to make a big conflict with my poor uncle.

The two went back. Zhao Niannu was smart this time, provoked her mother-in-law's anger behind her back, and became a well-behaved daughter-in-law in front of her. In fact, Li's mother is a small citizen after all. It's still the kind of bad little citizen. If she had seen it, she would not have troubled the field.

It's just that I didn't see it, thinking that I was the emperor's aunt. The princess's mother-in-law, so she wants to be a powerful evil mother-in-law. Zhao Zhen endured it, but the reason, Zhao Zongshi and Gao Taotao, including the seven-year-old Zhao Zhen, remembered the scenes. That was later, of course.

I didn't expect Zhao Niannu to suddenly play tricks.

thought that he had forced his daughter-in-law out of the palace and forced her home, and she spoke even more viciously to each other.

That's enough, it's not that we're going to escape, there's no way to get by. Impeachment of the Minister of Return. The emperor forced each other. Back in the Horse Mansion, the mother-in-law redoubled the abuse, and had to flee. At least in the future, Zheng Lang will resolve and gain the upper hand in public opinion.

began to arrange, first Liang Huaiji changed into civilian clothes and left the house. I found an inn and booked a room for a few days.

He bought a carriage and deposited it in the inn. It was a real carriage, and as there were more large livestock in the north, there were more and more carriages. Not unusual. Liang Huaiji deliberately suppressed his voice a little, and his voice was less, and the capital was now more and more prosperous. From the south to the north, all kinds of people are there. And the biggest advantage is that the Song Dynasty is not like the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty forbade the movement of the people, and the people had to pass through, but the Song Dynasty did not need this. The guy in the store didn't interrogate.

Book a room, put the carriage and go back.

It is also very normal that often the rich will book a room first in the future, such as Zheng Lang's imperial examination, which is the first to book a room and then enter Beijing.

That night, when preparations were made, Zhao Niannu deliberately teased her mother-in-law again, making her mother-in-law scold, and then depressedly called the maid to serve her to take a bath and go to bed early. The subordinates left, Zhao Niannu prepared the luggage in the room, and changed into men's clothes.

But the people outside were talking.

The master was humiliated, the servant was ashamed, Liang Huaiji was furious, and ordered all the people to go back to the room to rest.

As a result, the area around the princess's bedroom became lifeless.

Zhao Niannu looked at the sky, saw that it was already dark, and blew out the candle, this is the signal. Liang Huaiji went into the room and took Zhao Nianlang to tiptoe open the door. It happened that behind the bedroom was a garden, and at the beginning of September, the leaves of the flowers and trees had not yet withered, and the green grass and trees gave Zhao Niannu and the others a chance to abscond. Unexpectedly, no one found out, and the two came to the bottom of the courtyard wall. Liang Huaiji lay down the ladder and lifted Zhao Niannu to the courtyard wall, and he himself climbed up the courtyard wall, and the two escaped over the wall.

When they left the house, the two of them slapped the dust on their bodies, thinking that since then, the sky was high and the birds had flown away, and they looked at each other and laughed.

Liang Huaiji was still very sober and said, "Your Highness, hurry up, otherwise you will close the city gate." ”

"Okay," Zhao Niannu replied excitedly.

The two came to the inn, Zhao Niannu did not go in, only Liang Huaiji went in, and said to the man, my master is not coming, and he asked to check out. This is also normal, the fact is that the whole capital was in turmoil the next day, and the inn did not recall this incident.

Since he planned to escape, Liang Huaiji had nothing to do in the past few days and forcibly learned the skills of driving a carriage.

The technique was very clumsy, and he carried Zhao Niannu to the city gate without danger. The soldiers at the gate of the city wanted to check, Liang Huaiji gave a few money, and the soldiers let them out of the city in a so-so manner.

The sky was good, the moonlight was charming, and the two set off overnight.

Think about how good the roads around the capital are?

How many miles can they travel this night?

No one knew about the Horse Mansion, and the next day the next day the princess saw that the princess had not gotten up for a long time, so the maidservant went to call.

Then it was discovered that the princess was missing, and then it was discovered that Liang Huaiji was missing. The search up and down the house did not find any trace of the two, so he had no choice but to report to Li's mother.

Mother Li is very complacent, what's the matter, I said that they had an adulterous affair, but no one believed it, why did the two disappear, this is quietly going outside and not knowing what to do. didn't report to the official, waiting, waiting for Zhao Niannu to come back, ready to make a big fuss.

But the first class did not come back, the second class did not come back, and at noon, the upper and lower levels were even more worried, so they reported to the official. Mother Li was ashamed to say that the princess eloped with Liang Huaiji. The officials of Kaifeng Mansion were frightened whether they eloped or not. If the princess has one long and two short outside. All of them will be sad and search.

However, at this time, Liang Huaiji had already arrived in Zhengzhou.

Then Zheng Lang's article went to Taixue and was published in the newspaper, and the capital was in an uproar.

However, I only searched near Gyeonggi and did not find any other state.

The master and servant continued southward.

The outside world is wonderful, and the outside world is helpless. It's not as beautiful as Zhao Niannu imagined. And the two didn't understand any world affairs, and soon something happened. The route is right, along the capital to the south of Tandao official road.

The law and order environment of the Song Dynasty was not as bad as later people imagined. Plus a few years of governance. Although it has not reached the point where the road is not left behind and the house is not closed at night, most of the people can barely live and work in peace and contentment. The security environment is not too bad.

The two successfully arrived at the junction of Ruzhou and Dengzhou.

Under Liang Huaiji's crazy carriage, it only took four days, if there was no accident, it would not take one month, enough for them to arrive in Tanzhou smoothly, but it was impossible.

The place at the junction of Ru and Deng is mostly mountainous terrain, although the road is good, but in this mountainous area, Liang Huaiji does not dare to rush to the night road. Rest early, and Liang Huaiji took out some handovers when paying the bill.

Don't be incomprehensible. Because Zhao Niannu was unhappy, occasionally Liang Huaiji also accompanied Zhao Niannu to watch some miscellaneous dramas, or buy some novels to come back and read, and some sinister stories were written on them. So when they came out, they did not bring any gold or jewelry. I'm afraid of being targeted by bad guys.

At their point, they don't care too much about the concept of money. Zhao Niannu is not a person who likes luxury, is he short of money? As long as they arrive in Tanzhou, Zheng Lang will let them beg to return to Beijing. Therefore, I exchanged a batch of Jiaozi in advance and brought it with me.

The small-denomination Jiaozi ran out, and there were only a large number of Jiaozi of 100 Wen left.

The journey was safe, and Liang Huaiji relaxed his vigilance. When paying the bill, take out the hand and let people see it.

In fact, there is no experience, because Zheng Lang is afraid of the reputation of Jiaozi, and has not agreed to issue Jiaozi again, although Jiaozi is in circulation, but it is mostly used for commercial purposes, and there are not many that can flow into the people, and there is, it is only a small denomination Jiaozi.

The original thick stack of Jiaozi was originally eye-catching, and they were all big bills of 100 Wen. It's just that along the way, although some people occasionally pay attention, but they haven't encountered villains, so they are safe.

But this time it's different.

Several people saw Liang Huaiji take money out of his bag to pay the bill, and one of the wicked people had evil thoughts.

Nothing to do with the people in the inn.

There may be black shops in the Water Margin, but that was when the government of the Song Hui sect was corrupted, and now there are very few black shops like those in Taipingchenguang. Besides, the merchants in the past were not much richer than them.

But for this person is different, and under his observation, he didn't expect that Zhao Niannu was a woman dressed as a man, mainly Zhao Niannu is still young, the life in the palace is simple, the nutrition is not very good, the chest is not fully developed, the face has been slightly darkened these days, Liang Huaiji occasionally disguised himself for Zhao Niannu, understood a little, and made preparations, the two were afraid of suspicion all the way, and behaved withdrawn, so no one paid attention, and they didn't expect that these two people were a eunuch and a girl, and they really thought that they were a master and a servant. So the national search later did not find this clue.

But under observation, this person found that the two of them behaved very much like people who had just left the house, and their behavior was very strange. The evil heart is even stronger. Liang Huaiji set off early the next morning, and that's it, and he suffered many sins along the way. For example, horse-drawn carriages will also break down, and the probability of breaking is more than that of later cars, after all, the quality of the axles at this time is far less than the quality of the axles of later generations. Often, the driver will repair the axle to ensure that the car goes all the way.

What will Liang Huaiji fix?

Fortunately, in this world, people's hearts are still ancient, there are many kind-hearted people, and it is on the avenue, there are many vehicles, and the two of them are not very old.

Continuing south, into the mountain road, I didn't see anyone riding a donkey following behind, and the car broke down for a while. As usual, the axle broke again, and the master and servant came down, hoping that they would meet another good Samaritan to help them.

A big man came on a donkey and asked them what was the matter.

Liang Huaiji replied: "The axle is broken. ”

"Little official, don't mind, my house is on that side, only about a hundred steps, pull the car to my house, and I'll fix it for you." The big man pointed to a small path next to him and said.

"Okay." Zhao Niannu rushed to the front and said.

The big man asked Liang Huaiji to lead the donkey, and he led the horse and led the carriage into the lane.

Entering the trail, the mountains and forests are lush. Liang Huaiji felt a little furious in his heart and asked, "Where is your home, why didn't I see it." ”

"Where," said the big man, pointing forward again, "it will be there soon." ”

As he spoke, he forcibly led the carriage to another, more hidden mountain road. Zhao Niannu didn't care in his heart, the carriage was in the hands of others, so he followed. Liang Huaiji hesitated for a moment. The two of them couldn't ride a little donkey to Tanzhou, so they followed.

I had entered the smaller forest path, and I had walked a hundred steps. Still didn't see any house, Liang Huaiji was even more suspicious, and dragged Zhao Niannu's clothes corner. said: "This strong man, I'm sorry, we won't cultivate." ”

As he spoke, he handed the donkey rope to the big man and wanted to exchange it for the carriage.

Seeing that there was no one around, the big man showed his fierce face and pulled out the hunting knife in his hand.

Liang Huaiji was already suspicious, so he took Zhao Niannu's hand and fled out. Not far from the official road outside, and Zhao Niannu's luggage is on the carriage, and the Han goal is reached, and he is afraid of many things. Take out Zhao Niannu's baggage. Set the carriage on fire with tongues of fire and flee on horseback.

When the two came to the official road, there were many pedestrians, and when they looked back at the fire in the forest, they mainly did not reveal their identities. If you die when you see the light, you have to be sent back to the capital. Zhao Niannu didn't say anything about the crime, and Liang Huaiji would be executed nine times out of ten. The two did not dare to speak, so the carriage, plus more than two hundred yuan, turned a horse into a donkey.

They were also afraid that the big man would chase after them and commit murder. Liang Huaiji picked Zhao Niannu on the donkey and wanted to lead the donkey forward.

Zhao Niannu can ride a donkey, and this also needs to be learned. Three times five divided by two, it fell upside down, and fell all over the body crying out in pain.

Helpless, the two had no choice but to lead the donkey and run forward. In fact, the big man was afraid that they would report to the official, and they would ride away early on horseback, where would they dare to chase them.

Ahead is the boundary of Dengzhou.

But what now? There is no money, no luggage, only a donkey, of course, there is a way, as long as it is reported to the official, a report to the official, no one who knows the state and county will dare to slack off. But once it is reported to the official, it has to be sent back, Zhao Niannu doesn't want to, and Liang Huaiji doesn't dare.

When he arrived at the grass market, he sold the donkey, but he did not understand, and only sold it for five hundred dollars.

Liang Huaiji had no money in his hands, so he had to buy a few steamed buns, and had a hasty lunch in a tea shed. Then the two discussed, Liang Huaiji didn't dare to make the decision, Dengzhou was still far from Tanzhou. So he asked Zhao Niannu, and Zhao Niannu suddenly launched a ruthless attack and said, "Even if you beg, you have to ask for it in Tanzhou." ”

Liang Huaiji's eyes lit up, and he really begged. This begging is also a science, the two of them are well-dressed, what can they get? And Zhao Niannu was born as a princess, although she lived a simple life, she would never eat leftovers. But fortunately, I still have a few hundred dollars in my arms, so I stayed up and walked a little longer. The money gradually ran out, and in order not to wronged Zhao Niannu, Liang Huaiji had to be a thief while begging, stealing the fruits from other people's fruit trees and stealing other people's clothes. Not to mention the guest house.

After a few days, the two were dark and thin, no different from beggars.

At this time, the Song Dynasty searched the whole country vigorously, and set up troops on the roads to investigate the objects of suspicion, check inns, brothels, and restaurants, but did not think of checking beggars. The two of them were dressed in rags, and gradually Liang Huaiji not only looked like a beggar, but also had experience in begging, of course, he would not encounter any stories of beggars helping dogs, but he also went south safely. It's just that I have endured a lot of hard work along the way, and my speed has slowed down.

Speaking of this, Liang Huaiji cried, Zhao Niannu suffered a lot, he suffered more, you must know that although Zhao Niannu is simple, he is very clean, he doesn't eat leftovers, and the difficulty of begging is not ordinary. Liang Huaiji had to beg and be a thief at the same time, and he was almost caught several times. However, once he gained a lot, in a family outside Ezhou City, he actually stole more than three dollars, but the two of them had tattered clothes, and they wanted to fight tooth sacrifices, so they also let the restaurant come out.

Fortunately, Zheng Lang suddenly sent a ruthless news, and the whole country was talking about it, which gave the master and servant motivation, and even moved Zhao Niannu, who endured all kinds of hardships, and continued to go south, begging and sleeping day and night. I really don't understand, what if Zhao Niannu is sick in the middle of the road?

This is the practice of newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers and are bold.

Finally arrived in Tanzhou, and heard that Zheng Lang was in Shaozhou, came to Shaozhou, and heard that Zheng Lang came to Chenzhou.

When Zheng Lang heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to kick Liang Huaiji, you are too ignorant of the sky and the earth, there is nothing to do to beg in Tanzhou, so you have the right to grind the calendar. But after Tanzhou, there were more barbarians, and some barbarians liked to capture Han people as slaves. If he hadn't come to Jinghu South Road by himself, after some probation and rectification, Hugh would have said that Chenzhou, he would have let the barbarians be arrested long ago.

Fu Da has a great life, not only let them come to Chenzhou safely, but also let them safely walk more than 100 miles from Chenzhou to Huixi New Town. What is this, the place where the creek man lived.

Zheng Lang was speechless and wanted to teach a lesson, but the bamboo forest arrived.

Seeing them coming, a thin figure came out of the bamboo forest.

The sun is setting, the sun has not yet set, the soft light of the evening hits the path, the green shadow of the bamboo forest is swaying, and the slender figure is like a slim little bamboo......)
