124 Caught up
At present, the north gate has secretly assembled soldiers, and just waiting for an order, they will come out to suppress the rebellious people.
Several other gates have also strengthened their guards, and as soon as martial law is ordered, the gates will be closed.
Even at this time, it is already allowed to enter and not to leave. Unless there is special permission, such as the Luo Capture Token for the thieves in the city, such as the warrant of the lord in the city, etc.
As long as the city gate is not officially closed, the man should be able to go out of the city and follow him on his own, and in general, there will be no problem.
Hu Guang thought about it, estimated the time, and was afraid that it was almost over. So he stuffed Luo Zhutou's mouth, covered his head, and threw it under the table.
Then he picked up the water that Xiao Er had prepared before, although it was already cold, he didn't care, and began to wash off the disguise on his face and restore his original appearance.
It didn't take long for Hu Guang to walk out of the gate and onto the street.
A cold wind blew in his face, freezing cold. The sun has come out and is high, and there is no one at the yamen. Hu Guang pulled down the felt hat on his head and covered his entire forehead. Follow the street and head south.
After walking for a while, at the intersection of the street in front of him, a few knights suddenly turned out, and despite the cold wind, they galloped quickly.
He hurriedly dodged to the side, and as he staggered by, he heard a knight complain in a low voice: "It's really procrastinating, if you don't move, the chaos outside the city will run out!" ”
When Hu Guang heard this, he immediately understood that it should be Liu Daneng who was sent out by himself, and they contacted Gao Yingxiang, and after telling him about the situation in the city, they knew that they could not do anything and withdrew.
It stands to reason that it should have been withdrawn earlier. It should be that Gao Yingxiang didn't believe Liu Daneng's words, and wasted a lot of time to verify it!
None of this can be done for the time being, and the gates should be closed soon. That person didn't know if he had left, he had to catch up.
Thinking of this, Hu Guang quickened his speed and walked forward quickly.
Almost at the speed of a race walk, he turned two streets. I happened to see two carriages not far ahead, leaving a house with a cross on the roof and heading south.
Hu Guang clapped his hands excitedly, the time was just right.
It turned out that two days ago, when he was talking to Tang Ruowang, he learned that he was going to leave Yan'an Mansion and return to Xi'an at this hour this morning, and he would go to Beijing after the New Year.
At that time, John Tang also told Hu Guang to go over to see him when he was free. It's so rare to have someone in this foreign country who can talk to someone in their native language.
When Hu Guang was making a plan, he remembered this incident, which was just used to cover himself to get out.
Sure enough, when John Tang heard someone call him in German, he immediately stuck his head out of the car window, and with a look of surprise, he said loudly in German: "Dear Hu, I thought I would never see you again!" ”
"Hehe, you're leaving, of course I'm going to see you off." Hu Guang ran to his car and said with a smile, "It's just that the city has been unstable these days, and the old man at home won't let me come out." You see......"
Hu Guang said this in German, spread his hands and said: "I sneaked out, and I didn't dare to bring a single guard." ”
When Tang Ruowang heard this, he was very moved, quickly retracted his head, immediately lifted the curtain from the front, and stuck his head out to greet: "Come, get in the car!" ”
Hu Guang just asked him to say this, and he was not polite immediately, jumped into the car, and went into the car to talk.
In this way, Hu Guang and Tang Ruowang were talking in German in the car, and the convoy slowly headed towards the south gate, preparing to leave the city and return to Xi'an.
John Tong came from Europe and traveled all the way east, which can be said to be well-informed. Hu Guang, on the other hand, traveled from later generations, and he learned a lot and understood a lot, which was even better than John Tang.
The two chatted in German, from Europe to the Ming Dynasty, from religion to people's livelihood, as long as John Tang could pull his head out, Hu Guang could communicate with him, and sometimes what he said could make John Tang understand more.
This situation made John Tang forget everything around him. He even invited Hu Guang to go to Xi'an with him, and then to the capital, so that they could get along for a longer time.
Hu Guang didn't chat with him for nothing, he dominated the topic of discussion. For example, talk about the Western military, military technology, navigation technology, and so on. And what is the current situation in the Western countries, what places have been discovered, etc., these are all things that will be used in the future.
This side is talking happily, but the other side is hard. Xiao Er finally found Luo Zhutou and untied his rope with a pale face.
Before he could speak, he saw Luo Zhutou push him away and run downstairs like a fly.
As soon as he rushed out of the gate and came out into the street, two catchers came over and said, "Catcher, my lord is angry and is looking for you everywhere!" ”
Luo Zhutou knew that something bad would happen, and as soon as he reached out and grabbed the shoulders of the two catchers, he ordered sharply: "Hurry, hurry to the four city gates, don't let anyone go." The thief Hu Guang is likely to sneak out of the city! ”
After saying that, he pushed hard and pushed the two catchers to stumble. He himself walked quickly to the yamen, and he had to explain the matter of his waist card.
Luo Zhutou had just walked a few steps, remembered something, and immediately turned around and reminded loudly: "Last night's portrait is very similar to the appearance of the thief Hu Guang, don't miss it!" ”
Seeing the appearance of the head catcher, how dare the two catchers say anything, turned around and led the horse, took the portrait, and ran quickly despite the cold wind.
When Luo Zhutou entered the yamen, he had already thought of countermeasures in his heart. This matter can only be relied on on Zhang Xianzhong, so he said that he conspired with the thief to kill himself, and then used his waist card to save his accomplices and escaped.
For this, he didn't have a little psychological burden, thought of countermeasures, and his waist board was a lot stronger, so he cleaned up his mind and walked quickly around the wall.
On Xuanhua Street, directly opposite the south gate of Yan'an Mansion, two carriages moved slowly, and a cross was erected on the canopy. Those who have a little insight can know at a glance that this is a foreign monk who has emerged in recent years.
Behind the two chariots, a knight dressed in a catcher suit galloped his horse and passed the convoy before reaching the city gates.
"Luo Zhutou has an order, no one is allowed to go out of the city, and the thief Hu Guang is strictly investigated, and there is a portrait that resembles it, and it is better to catch the mistake than to let it go!" The knight shouted as he threw the portrait to a few of his comrades who greeted him, and then led his horse by the head and immediately went away again!
As soon as the hunters at the head of the city met, two wagons came to them.
The soldiers guarding the gate did not look at it, and prepared to let people pass. It's a foreign monk who has a fart relationship with a group of dirt bun thieves.
But a few squatting catchers stopped doing it, it was their job to catch the thieves in the city, and the direct boss had just sent another strict order, so they just let it go without looking at it, and they would definitely not be able to eat and walk around afterwards.
The driver didn't dare to get along with the catcher, so he obediently stopped for inspection. The first car, there was nothing, just a pile of things.
The second car, before it got closer, heard the gurgling of birds inside, and it was obvious that there was more than one person inside.
