Chapter 589: The Charm Before the Formation (I)

In the hunting grounds on the outskirts of the northern part of the castle, the feudal lords and feudal lords are gathering, and horse-drawn carriages are constantly coming.

They are also waiting for everyone to arrive and then set off together, so that the goal can be reduced. Because they have already bought the city defense department, after a while, they pretend to be ordinary out of the city, no one will be suspicious, and when they reach Guannan, even if there are chasing soldiers to catch up, they have already joined the soldiers and horses in the domain, and when the time comes, the sky will be high and the birds will fly, and it will be difficult for the imperial court to deal with them. At that time, they will raise troops to be enemies of the imperial court, or be their own emperor, it all depends on the attitude of the imperial court towards them, but according to these people, as long as they return to the territory, the imperial court will let them go for the time being.

Because the court is poor and can't open the pot, it can't afford to fight a war.

At the same time as the vassal king and the vassal lord gathered, Su Xiao was also anxiously waiting for the news from the north side of the city, Li Yuanzhe, the commander of the defense department in the north of the city, was his old department, and this Li Yuanzhe had a certain relationship in the court in order to be promoted. This time, he took advantage of Li Yuanzhe's relationship to leave Chang'an City with the vassal kings and vassal lords, and he was also afraid of changes, after all, Li Yuanzhe was just a small general in Chang'an City, as long as the court noticed that they came out to hunt and escape, as soon as the city gate was closed, they could not fly.

"King Shu, except for the aunt of Hedao County, everyone else is here, isn't it time to go?" Su Xiaozheng was a little impatient, and walked over alone, it was Su Chengju, the king of Nanling, who came over to urge him to go on the road.

Su Xiao said: "Wait a little longer." ”

"Wait? Just for that aunt? Whether she can go or not, it will not have much impact, even if she loses Hedao County, Shuzhong and Hanzhong are still under our control. ”

Su Xiao said angrily: "Who said that he would wait for her, this king is waiting for news from the city gate!" ”

Su Chengju was a little helpless. This Su Xiao obviously does not have his father's demeanor. The old Shu King belongs to the kind of person who does great things. Whatever you do, you will take the chestnut from the fire, and you will not do anything that is not dangerous. It was like summoning the vassal king to the capital, at that time, the old Shu king also felt that he would not suffer if he returned to Chang'an City, and he could save the danger if there was danger, but something happened, not only the old Shu king died, but the other vassal kings and vassal lords also became caged birds.

Now this Shu King Su Xiao. But he is a coward who is scheming but not brave. After all the contact, he didn't dare to set off until he got the exact news, and if the city gate didn't give him news for a while, they would keep waiting?

Su Chengju was about to make things clear, and he had to leave immediately to express his meaning, when a fast horse galloped towards this side. Su Chengju recognized that it was one of the retinues of the King of Shu, and there should be news from the city gate.

"What's the situation?"

Waiting for the entourage to come down, Su Xiao also grabbed the entourage who was almost unstable and asked in a hurry.

"Your Highness, there seems to be something unusual at the city gate. Lieutenant Li has not been seen since the morning, and the people we sent in to make contact. None of them came out! ”

Hearing the words of his entourage, Su Xiao gasped. What he feared was likely to have already happened, that is, their plan to flee might have been detected by the imperial court.

Su Xiao didn't say anything, but Su Chengju on the side grabbed the entourage and shouted, "It doesn't make sense, you didn't go in to see what was going on?" If the person surnamed Li repents, or is cowardly and doesn't dare to let go, you can't go in and force it? ”

The entourage obviously didn't expect to be questioned like this, and was a little speechless, but Su Xiao helped him out of the siege.

Su Xiao walked over to calm down Su Chengju first, and said, "If we can't, we have another plan." ”

Su Chengju said: "What's the plan, hurry up!" ”

Su Xiao said with a solemn face: "Now it seems that the imperial court is likely to get the news that we are leaving Chang'an City." Now we have to go out of the city, either we will kill the city or we will ......"

"How to kill it?" Su Chengju was a little disdainful, "The city gate is tightly guarded, and we have no soldiers and no rights, so going like this is like throwing ourselves into a net." ”

Su Xiao said angrily: "Listen to me!" I mean, there's another way, there's only one person who can get out of town right now. ”

"You mean...... Aunt Hedaojun? ”

"Who else but her? Now that the king of Hejian County is newly mourned, the court has allowed her to go out of the city to worship, and if we hide in her carriage and go out of the city, we will not know it. ”

Su Chengju also frowned, this was simply a matter of being a rat, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Yes...... What about the families of each family? ”

Su Xiao said: "When is this happening, why do you care about this?" After hearing the news, the imperial court will immediately send someone to intercept it, and no one will be able to run away by then! ”

Su Chengju's body was trembling when he boarded, and if he wanted to flee this time, he already had to give up many family members, and even some female dependents couldn't take them. Now there is only one carriage, and it will definitely not be able to carry a dozen people, and I am afraid that even the feudal lords and feudal lords will not be able to leave the city, let alone their families.

Su Chengju gritted his teeth and said, "Since this is the case, hurry up and find someone to come over to discuss...... Some people, it's better not to let them know about ...... first."

Su Xiao nodded, and hurriedly asked people to bring those powerful vassal kings over to discuss, since this time they couldn't take all the vassal kings and vassal lords out of the city, they would take away the powerful ones, so that they could make a comeback in the future.

When the news was almost passed down in secret, when it was time to leave, Su Chengju and Su Xiao discovered an important problem, Zhao Su, the daughter of the king of Hejian County, had not shown up until now.

Su Chengju said: "Are we worrying too much? Maybe...... Li Duwei was just timid and afraid of things, and he was not ready to welcome us out of the city, but he didn't leak the news? It's not too late for us to go back and make any more plans......"

Su Chengju was a little cautious when he hated Su Xiao before, but now he himself is so afraid of things.

"Why don't you let those feudal lords go out of the city first, and test the reaction of the Chengbei Defense Division first, if it doesn't hinder us from going out of the city again?"

Su Cheng nodded and said, "That's fine." ”

Let those feudal lords who are not ready to take it with them try to break through the level first, and if something happens, then find other ways to get out of the city, this is the best strategy that the two of them think is more appropriate. Now they are mainly unaware of the situation, I don't know why Li Yuanzhe suddenly disappeared, and they also have a fluke mentality in their hearts, feeling that if the court received the news, they should have come over to get someone a long time ago. But to this day, the court is still calm.

Su Xiao went over to talk to a few feudal lords and asked them to set off first. Although the feudal lords felt suspicious, because it was against the previous discussion, they still didn't think much of it, and left the city with their families first.

When the carriage of these feudal lords left, the people on this side were also anxiously waiting for news. This is a big escape, if you can't escape from Chang'an City, it is death, and there is no third way to go. Even if the officials of the court would have mercy on them, King Lin would not have mercy on them. Now that the four seas have been calmed, in their opinion, Liu Yu has no reason to leave them behind.

About half an hour later, at noon, news suddenly came from the city gate that the feudal lords had left the city and that there was nothing unusual at the city gate.

Hearing the news, Su Chengju and Su Xiao glanced at each other, and said in their hearts, could it be that they were too careful?

"Two princes, what should we do now?" The vassal king next to him immediately came over and asked.

"What else, hurry up and bring people and go out of the city together!"

"What about the Lord of the River?"

Su Chengju sneered: "At this time, you still have the heart to care about that aunt-in-law? She couldn't die if she stayed in Chang'an City...... Even her daughter was left behind, so as not to be dragged down. ”

Su Xiao immediately objected: "Yingxi's girl should take it first, take her away, and there will be a restrain on that woman in the future, maybe she will help us do something......"

Su Chengju nodded, and also felt that what Su Xiao said made some sense. In the future, when they leave Chang'an City, they will always have to spy on some news of Chang'an City, and with the woman Zhao Su here, maybe they will give them some information.

However, Su Chengju still quipped: "If you want to come to the King of Shu, are you thinking about this daughter-in-law......?"

In the past, Zhao Yingxi had a marriage contract with the eldest grandson of the King of Shu, which was a well-known thing, but after the death of the old King of Shu, this marriage was delayed, and no one mentioned it. The caged bird, it doesn't matter if they marry or not, but Su Xiao also held his breath in his heart, mainly because he hated Zhao Su's fall to the king of Shu at the beginning. Although Su Xiao also sold his father at the beginning, in this matter, he will see himself as the one who was forced, and see Zhao Su as treacherous.

The group hurriedly let the family members get into the carriage, and the group headed towards the north gate of the city.

When they arrived at the north gate of the city, the carriage in front of them suddenly stopped, and then the convoy also stopped.

Su Xiao was thinking about what was going on, when he saw that the direction of the city gate seemed to be very quiet, he jumped out of the carriage, and saw that there was no one on the road. All the merchants were closed as if the city was under martial law.

Although he had a premonition that the imperial court would take action, when he encountered this sudden change, his heart couldn't help but pwitch.

Looking at the direction of the city gate, although the city gate was wide open, the soldiers in groups had already guarded the city gate tightly. There was also a man who was riding on a horse with a woman in his arms, and he looked at them with a smile in his arms.

These two people are all too familiar to the vassal kings and vassal lords, one is Liu Yu, the king of Lin, who should be on the way back, and the other is their "ally" and the traitor Zhao Su among them. At this time, Zhao Su's body was a little low, and her clothes were not very neat, the long skirt was picked up from behind, and Liu Yu's chest was tightly attached to Zhao Su's back, looking at Zhao Su's trance-like appearance, it was not difficult to guess what they were doing. At this time, Liu Yu looked proud, as if he was waiting for these people to throw themselves into the net.

The vassal kings and feudal lords all got out of the carriages, because they did not have many retinues, and they did not even dare to have an enemy with the army of the court in front of them, and a figure flashed out from the crowd and shouted "mother", wanting to go forward, but when she found so many pairs of eyes staring at her, and so many muskets pointed at her, she was also a little afraid to step forward.

This woman is Zhao Yingxi, the daughter of the Zhao Su clan. (To be continued......)
