Chapter 56: The Prison Robbery
Du Xin escaped from prison, taking advantage of Tang Ji's gaffe, Li Xuan's distraction, and some instability in the army for a while.
There was a petite figure, dressed in black and wearing a black mask, who knocked out the guards, snatched the key, and let Dusin go.
This figure led Du Sin, bypassed the soldiers on duty, quietly came to a secluded corner where no one was around, handed Du Xin a horse and a bag of silver, and a token that had long been tied here, and said coldly, "You gave me life, and I was injured once, I disobeyed my mother's teachings, betrayed the trust of the general, saved you this time, and I can repay you." From now on, we will see you again, both sides of the enemy! Neither of them has to save face! ”
A trace of shame appeared on Dusin's face, and he called out softly, "Pei'er, it's my father who is sorry for you!" ”
Yao Pei turned around, left Du Xin's slightly trembling back, and said, "You go quickly!" If you delay any longer, you will only be afraid of being discovered! Today, because we still have to transport some supplies into the city, the city gate has not been closed, and after a while, it will be locked! ”
Listening to the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and walking farther and farther, Yao Pei slowly turned around, looked at the figure that disappeared into the darkness, let out a long sigh, and turned around and walked towards an inn in the city.
This time, Yao Pei quietly followed Yao Hei'er's convoy and came to Anshun Mansion. Ever since she heard that Du Xin had been sent by Xu Guo to fight against Li Xuanjun, her heart began to become irritable. She knew that her mother would not let her come again, so she could only sneak here. When she heard that Dusin had been captured, she began to look for a way to rescue Dusin by stealing a token and getting her hands dirty. At this time, he quietly discovered that because Tang Ji and Li Gong were in turmoil, there was some instability in the army, so he took the opportunity to save Du Xin.
If I let my mother know, I'm afraid I'll kill myself, right? Therefore, she didn't dare to see her mother, so she could only wait for tomorrow dawn and then quietly return to Yaojia Village.
Li Gong, who was talking to Tang Ji in the room, couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard that Du Xin had run away. Who could have saved Dusing? The jailer said that it was a thin man. He looked at Tang Ji suspiciously, expecting Tang Ji to give him an idea as usual.
Tang Ji understood what Li Gong meant, he shook his head helplessly, and said, "General, I am upset at this time, and my mind is blank, so I can't guess anything. You'd better check the jailers and see if there are any other clues. ”
Li Gong nodded, and after a few words of persuasion to Tang Ji, Fang walked out, and while ordering people to guard the city gate strictly to prevent Du Xin from escaping, he ordered people to bring a few jailers to interrogate him carefully.
At this time, Yao Hei'er, who supervised the transportation of supplies, also returned. Hearing that Dusin had run away, he hurried to see Li Gong. There was a jailer, tilting his head, trying to rob the prison, what are the characteristics, because he said, "In my opinion, this person is eighty percent of a woman, and she is thin and small, not like a man; Second, when I fainted, I vaguely heard her say something, which seemed to be a woman's voice; Third, now in that cell, there is still some faint fragrance of fat powder, how can a man use fat powder? ”
Li Gong nodded to Yao Hei'er and said, "When you came this time, was Yao Pei at home?" ”
Yao Hei'er hurriedly said, "Yes, she was originally making a fuss about coming." I don't allow her to come ......" Speaking of this, Yao Hei'er's heart moved, this girl, when did she hear her own words? If I don't let her come, won't she really come?
Li Gong saw Yao Hei'er suddenly stopped, and said, "It's not a big deal, and Du Xin is of little use to us now." Even if he fled back to Xu Guo, the faint monarch may not be willing to use him anymore. Then he said to the jailers, "That's it, you go back, have a snack in the future, find anything abnormal, beat the drum as soon as possible to warn, don't be knocked unconscious again, don't know." ”
Yao Hei'er watched the jailers go out of the door, and hurriedly arched his hand to Li Gong and said, "General! When I go back, if I find out that it was Yao Pei who did this, I will definitely tie her up and let the general leave! ”
"Not necessarily! Need not! Li Yu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Even if she really did it, let her be spared this time." After all, it was her father, and he just warned her that there should be no next time. Besides, she may not have done it. ”
That being said, Li Xuan already understood in his heart, he knocked the jailer unconscious, but he didn't kill him, if the people from Du Xin's side came to rob the prison, would they be so merciful? In his own camp, only the Yao family has a relationship with Du Xin, and this robber is suspected to be a woman, not Yao Pei, who else can it be? It wasn't the first time she had sneaked out of the house.
However, Yao Hei'er can also be regarded as a person who has made great contributions to the army, in Yuanying City, if it weren't for Yao Hei'er, I'm afraid that he might not be able to attack it by now. And at that time, the grain and grass were about to be cut off, the weapons could not be followed, and the military salary was empty. Subsequently, Yao Heier took out all her belongings and bought all kinds of materials for the army, not only weapons, but also military uniforms and battle flags...... Later, when he took Heyin Mansion, he also used the mother and daughter of the Yao family to make a counter-plot.
Doesn't this kind of credit exempt Yao Pei from a mistake? I only hope that this child will not make the same mistake again.
Dusin's escape, in Li Gong's army, only this small ripple, was quelled.
It's just that Tang Ji is a little upset these days, so Li Gong ordered the army to be stationed in Anshun Mansion for half a month, first, to rest and recuperate, and second, to wait for Tang Ji to calm down. Li Gong's first adviser, although he was strategizing, had a fatal weakness, that is, he was too affectionate, and his affection for the old general Li Sui for most of his life made him fall into too much self-blame, and he languished for several days.
Half a month later, when Li Xuanjun, who had finished resting, was about to march to the capital, there was another shocking news in the capital - Du Xin persuaded a small team of the Su Guards originally commanded by him, this team robbed the prison of Dali Temple on a dark and windy night, rescued Du Xin and Yongdong's families, and killed the soldiers guarding the south gate, escaped from the cold city overnight, and went straight to the south.
Yongdong had already led people to defect to Jing State when Antianfu was defeated, and later with the help of Jing State, he captured Dingnan Mansion, because Xu Guo couldn't take care of it, so Yongdong gained a firm foothold in Dingnan Mansion. Obviously, Du Xin's trip was to join Yongdong.
This is good news and bad news for Li Gong. The good thing is that a squad of the Su Guards is only 2,000 people, and with only 2,000 people, they can make a mess in the capital of Xu State, which shows that the capital of Xu State is already so fragile that it is vulnerable. Although Du Xin was taken by surprise and attacked by surprise, Li Xuan's army was already close at hand, and the defense of the capital of Xu Guo was still so lax, it can be seen that the DPRK and China are also unavailable.
In addition, there is also General Liu Lao in the cold city, who is the internal response, and the breakthrough of the cold city is just around the corner.
The bad side is that Du Xin and Yongdong's flight south is inevitably a huge hidden danger. In the future, even if the cold city is captured, if you want to subdue the southern provinces, I am afraid that it will take some effort.
But no matter what, we still have to lay down the cold city first.
