Chapter 80: Escape from Yecheng
Hua An and the other five couldn't help but be stunned, it was this officer who led the troops to hunt him down in Sihailou, at this moment, although he was changed, he was more or less apprehensive in his heart, in case he recognized it, it would be troublesome.
Murong Ke was not in a hurry, and hugged his fists and saluted back: "It turned out to be the general during the day, my son is going to leave Yecheng early tomorrow morning, to be honest, I am a little reluctant in my heart, Yecheng is prosperous, there are still many places I haven't been to, and if I don't look at it, I'm afraid there will be no chance." β
After speaking, he frowned and sighed, putting on a regretful look.
"If the son is reluctant, he can stay for a few more days." The officer said politely, and a pair of thief eyes looked at Hua An and the others, and then shifted his gaze in disappointment.
Because the appearance of Hua An and the others after the disguise has completely changed, he naturally can't recognize it.
Murong Ke naturally saw that the officer had expressed doubts about the entourage behind him, the corner of his mouth smiled slightly, looked at the officer and asked: "General, the few wanted prisoners have not been caught yet, you might as well see if the few entourages behind this prince have the person you are looking for." β
After speaking, he pulled out Hua'an behind him and placed it in front of the officer's eyes.
The officer had already seen it, and there was no wanted criminal he was looking for, although Hua An, who was standing in front of him, was the person he was looking for, but he didn't even dare to raise his head because of his weak heart.
Childe said with a smile, and looked elsewhere. Leave. The officer clenched his fists and walked with more than a dozen followers to an alley in front of him.
Murong Ke smiled indifferently at the corner of his mouth, raised his steps and continued to walk towards the post house, followed by Hua An, Murong Yan and others behind him, and everyone couldn't help but laugh secretly.
After arriving at the post house, Hua An paid a visit to Murong Khan, and after being polite, he went back to the house with Thunderstorm and Zhao Wu to rest.
Murong Yan was afraid of seeing her uncle, so as soon as she entered the post house, she pulled Ping'er to hide in the room, and Murong Khan did not pursue it.
After Hua An left, Murong Khan raised his eyes to look at Murong Ke and asked suspiciously: "Ke'er, Uncle just asked you to find Yan'er, why do you have to save a few irrelevant people." β
Murong Ke smiled indifferently, took a step forward, and explained: "Uncle Khan, don't underestimate these people, Ke'er has competed with one of them, you can be sure that his martial arts are above Ke'er, besides, they are in the Four Seas Tower, surrounded by hundreds of officers and soldiers, and they can escape calmly with the three girls, this strength is not ordinary." β
"Oh, Ke'er is trying to recruit them." Murong Khan suddenly became interested.
Murong Ke nodded and said, "Don't hide it from Uncle Khan, Ke'er does have this intention." β
When Murong Khan heard this, he smiled with satisfaction, he raised his eyes to look at Murong Ke, and said with relief: "If the three strong men can really be loyal to my Dayan, it would be the best, Ke'er is almost certain that they will be willingly attached." β
"Thirty percent sure."
"What, it's only thirty percent, that is, there is not much hope." Murong Khan's tone revealed dissatisfaction.
Murong Ke had long expected that his uncle would have this kind of reaction, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and he clenched his fists and explained: "Uncle Khan is angry, you can recruit talents under your command with one sentence, it is not a great talent, throughout the ages, but all talented heroes have their own beliefs, and whether they can be recruited depends on luck." β
"It's just that the martial arts are exquisite, how can you tell that they have great talents." Murong Khan looked suspicious.
"It's intuition, intuition tells SΓΉ Ke'er, that son named Hua'an, must be a person with great ambitions, you can feel it from his eyes and temperament."
When Murong Khan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyebrows, and said in a dark voice: "If this person has too big ambitions and has the ambition to dominate the world, won't it become a big trouble for my Dayan, and I don't think this person can stay." β
After speaking, there was a murderous force in his eyes.
Murong Ke hurriedly explained: "Uncle Khan is too worried, with Ke'er's intuition, this person does not have such great ambitions, at most, he is a marquis and a prime minister. β
"That's the best, but if we take the risk to get them out, and they can't belong to my Dayan, won't we be busy in vain." Murong Khan frowned and hesitated.
Murong Ke saw that his uncle still had doubts, so he had to tell his thoughts and thoughts.
He stepped forward and took a step, almost close to Murong Khan's ear, and whispered: "Uncle Khan, don't worry, first, Yan'er seems to have a good impression of that son named Hua'an, if Yan'er can contain this person's heart, Ke'er is eighty percent sure that he will be taken under his command." Second, the Central Plains is rich, if I want to achieve a great cause, I must capture the Central Plains, but at the moment Shi Hu has more than 500,000 troops, and his strength is far better than my Dayan, and my Dayan must be attached to the Jin room in the south of the Yangtze River if he wants to obtain the Central Plains, and this person is a Jiangnan accent, and it is very likely to belong to the Jin room, and the Jin room is strong, so Shi Hu is relatively weak, which is extremely beneficial to us. β
When Murong Khan heard this, he suddenly brightened up, and laughed loudly: "Haha! Shi Hu is wanted by the whole city, he naturally will not be under Shi Hu's command, whether this person is loyal to my Dayan, or loyal to the Jin family in the south of the Yangtze River, it is extremely beneficial to my Dayan, Ke'er's talent is far better than that of his uncle, it seems that his uncle is old. β
After Murong Khan finished speaking, he looked at Murong Ke in front of him with satisfaction, as if he saw the future of the entire Murong family.
######
Early in the morning of the second day, Murong Khan and Murong Ke were packing up with a group of entourage, they were ready to set off back to Liaodong at any time, and Hua'an and others after the disguise were naturally mixed in the team.
In order to stabilize the northern Xinjiang and show his friendship with the Yan State, Shi Hu specially sent several confidant ministers to see him off, Murong Khan and several ministers greeted each other for a while, and then led the delegation to leave on time, and several ministers politely watched a period before leaving.
When the team reached the east gate, the colonel, who was in charge of guarding the city gate, blocked the way.
Murong Ke, who was at the front of the team, rode on his horse and pretended to be dissatisfied: "We are the envoy of the Great Yan Kingdom, why are you blocking the way, get out of the way." β
Xiao Xiao naturally knew that the other party was the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, but the Wang Decree was written very clearly, and anyone who went out of the city must be checked, he did not dare to disobey the Wang Order, but he also did not want to offend the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, and for a while, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Murong Khan, who was sitting in the carriage, had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he opened the curtains on the carriage, and said generously: "Ke'er, they are also acting on orders, let them search." As he spoke, he stepped out of the carriage and lifted the curtain in front of the carriage to the roof.
The little colonel of the city gate didn't expect the envoy of the Yan Kingdom to speak so well, so he was overjoyed, and bowed down and said, "Thank you for your understanding, the general will be grateful." β
After speaking, he looked back at the soldiers behind him and ordered: "You guys hurry up and check, move lightly, don't break the adult's salute." β
Murong Khan didn't bring much salute on this trip, only a few large boxes could hide people, and a few small soldiers quickly checked it.
The Colonel was not idle when the soldiers were checking their salutes, and his eyes searched the ranks incessantly, reluctantly when he was sure that there were no wanted prisoners.
"You guys get the antlers out of the way." The junior colonel commanded the soldiers to move the barricades, looked back at Murong Khan, and clenched his fists and said, "How offended, my lord, you can pass." β
"Okay, let's go." Murong Khan said and walked back into the carriage.
The team left the east gate according to the original plan, and after a while, they arrived at the tea shed ten miles outside the east gate.
Hua An and the others successfully escaped from the cage, and their hearts were suddenly relieved, especially when they saw the familiar tea shed, a different taste surged in their hearts.
Murong Yan met Hua An here, and at this time, she recalled that day, Hua An stared at her intently, and her cheeks unconsciously flushed.
Hua An's eyes looking at the tea shed were also very complicated, at this time, there were still not many guests in the tea shed, there were only five or six people scattered around, and the table that Hua An and Murong Yan had done that day was empty at this time.
At this time, the group had just eaten breakfast and did not feel thirsty, and the team did not stop at the tea shed but continued to move forward.
Hua An originally planned to part ways with Murong Yan and the others here, but Yecheng was still too close here, and there were pedestrians passing by from time to time on the road, in case he left the team at this time, it would be easy to arouse suspicion, and if he didn't do it, it might affect the Yan State mission.
#######
At the gate of Yecheng Sihai Tower, three Longteng guards, who were demoted to civilians, and the officers who arrested Hua'an that day got together to discuss how to capture the fugitives.
At this moment, a group of five people walked in front of the officer's eyes, and the officer habitually looked at the five people, and then frowned and thought.
He didn't know these five people, and they weren't the fugitives he wanted to capture, but they felt very familiar, as if they had seen them somewhere.
The five of them gradually walked away, the officer turned around, and suddenly felt a shock, he remembered that the son named Murong Ke last night was passing in front of him with these five people.
And the Yan State delegation left Yecheng early in the morning, and he also saw it with his own eyes, the number of people is not much, and the number is not many, why did these five entourages suddenly appear in Yecheng.
When the officer thought of this, his heart went up and down for a while, and he carefully recalled what happened last night, although the five entourages looked exactly the same as the five people just now, but there was a big difference in the way they walked.
And when he saw him, there were two entourages with very nervous expressions, at that time, he didn't care, but now that he thinks about it, the flaws come out, and they must be disguised.
The three degraded Dragon Teng Guards naturally saw the change in the officer's expression, and they asked in unison, "General, did you find something?" β
A sneer appeared on the corner of the officer's mouth, and he said hatefully: "The prisoner may have left Yecheng." β
The three of them were taken aback and immediately looked at each other.
The officer told the three of them his conjecture, turned around and gathered a hundred cavalrymen, and ran towards the east gate with this group of men.
The three degraded Dragon Guards, who were already civilians at this time, had no horses, so they had to follow on foot, panting along the way.
When the officer led his troops to the east gate, he learned from the mouth of the colonel guarding the gate that the Yan State mission had been out of the city for almost half an hour.
"Brothers, chase me, and I must recover the fugitives." The officer took the lead and left the eastern gate with a hundred cavalry and pursued Murong Khan's mission.
