The night disappeared from the earth, and the morning light lit up the dense forest and shone on a group of officers and soldiers.

They were busy, extinguishing their torches, throwing the flags on the ground and taking off their armor.

"Hurry, hurry."

"Change your clothes!"

"Armor thrown?"

"Silly, don't throw away the armor, keep it to defend yourself."

"Go and meet the old lady and them."

The voice was noisy, people and horses walked around, stepping on the flags scattered on the ground, and the words Taiyuan Fuhe Dongdao on it gradually blurred.

.....

......

On the other side of the forest, a caravan of horses walked out of the night into the morning light.

There were more than a dozen cars, hundreds of horseback riders walking with the cars, wrapped in cloaks to cover their heads and faces, the car was planted with the Taiyuan Prefecture Road flag, rice grain bags were exposed under the tarpaulin, and the seven or eight people led by them were still wearing poor uniforms or military uniforms.

Seeing a few fireworks rising above the dense forest, the soldiers shouted happily, and then turned back to wave to everyone.

"Stop, stop, stop."

"Our guards have arrived."

Hearing this, the marching procession stopped, and also shouted, everyone unbuttoned their cloaks and lifted their hats, there were men, women, old and young, and the bags of rice and grain on the cart covered with oilcloth were also pushed open, and people came out of it, most of them were women, old people and children.

Many people took off their cloaks and coats, revealing that they were full of jewelry, and seemed to have all their belongings with them. "I'm hungry and want to eat roast pigeons." It's a mess.

Several people who took off their official robes and military uniforms ran to a car and shouted to the driver who was driving the car.

The coachman was very old and had gray hair and beard, but of course this was not the reason why he was called grandpa.

In the dense forest, the horse's hooves sounded sharply, and a group of people and horses rushed forward, they had no flags, some wore armor and some wore civilian clothes, and the armor and weapons were all hunched on the horseback, and the momentum was violent, like mountain bandits and fierce bandits, but the people here saw that they were not afraid at all, and beckoned happily.

"Old lady." The first few guards immediately stepped forward to salute, "We have already explored the road, there are no rebels here, and we will go out of Hedong Road after passing through the two mountains." ”

The old lady nodded.

A young man stretched out his hand to count the number of people and said, "Why are there dozens of people missing?" ”

The escort at the head said: "In order to avoid suspicion, we divided a team of 100 people to go to Fang Minggu to explore the way, but we encountered the rebels, so we lost ....."

The young man paused: "Grandpa, since we are leaving, we shouldn't send the guards to the government to wait for dispatch....."

The old lady glared at him: "What do you know, if we don't take the lead, how can we coax others to defend the city?" Everyone is not guarding the city, can we go so conveniently? Can we run out with the Hezu by escorting the grain and grass? ”

Several elders scolded this young man, "If it weren't for everyone rushing to say that defending the city and Taiyuan Mansion would live and die together, the government and those two young ladies would have closed the city gate a long time ago, and no one would have thought of running." "It's impossible for you young people to go to the government to help, and it won't be so convenient for you to do things." Yunyun.

The young man said that he was taught, but he was still worried: "Now that there is such chaos outside, we have a lot less manpower, and I don't know if we can get to the capital safely." ”

The leader of the guards straightened his chest and said loudly: "Don't worry, Childe, there are only bandits and horse bandits in these mountains, we have killed the rebels, and it is easy to deal with the bandits and horse bandits." ”

"Childe, even if we encounter rebels, as long as there are not too many of them, we can fight." The other guards shouted, "Neither death nor retreat." ”

Even if he didn't wear armor, he was like a rainbow, and the old lady laughed: "Don't worry, they have been trained by the soldiers and horses of the Southeast Dao and the South Jiannan Dao, and they are also brave warriors." ”

Brave warriors must of course protect their families, and with these brave warriors, they can escape from danger and go to a safer place.

Speaking of a safer place.....

"Grandpa, are we really going to the capital?" The young people have another worry, "Won't Ankang Mountain fight the capital again?" ”

The old lady smiled: "It depends on who dies first between Wu Ya'er and Ankang Mountain, if you can't kill Wu Ya'er, Ankang Mountain will definitely not be able to fight the capital." ”

Wu Ya'er is as fierce as Ankang Mountain, so it seems that no one can die in a short time.

But there are still people who are uneasy: "That Mrs. Chu is said to be greedy and tyrannical, and once slaughtered more than 100 people of the Huang family in Gwangju Mansion.... We went, will we be bullied and robbed by her. ”

The old lady had obviously thought about this a long time ago, and said with a smile: "The capital is not Huainan Road, the capital is the land of the Son of Heaven, she has recovered the capital, Your Majesty will come back soon, Mrs. Chu Guo can't be the master of the capital." ”

Your Majesty is a kind and kind person, how can the Ninety-Five Respect have the world in mind, how can he bully these poor people.

Everyone woke up to the fact that the troubled times had been going on for too long, and they had forgotten that there was still an emperor.

With the emperor here, it will not be the turn of the murderer Mrs. Chu to claim the throne and hegemony in the capital.

The last trace of doubt was eliminated, and the young people regained their ease, and began to joke with each other, "Then Mrs. Chu is greedy for money and tyrannical and lustful, why don't you say this?" "You are so good-looking, aren't you afraid of being snatched away by Mrs. Chu?" Laughter and joy.

The old lady didn't pay attention to the worries of the young people, compared to the survival of the family, if Mrs. Chu really liked the young people in the family, he would send it to her personally.

"Have you hidden all the food, gold and silver at home?" He asked his nephews to reconfirm, "Is it enough to bring gold and silver and food?" ”

You can't take away all your family property, but you can't throw it away, and of course you can't give it to those people, because they will have to return to their homeland when it's peaceful in the future.

The nephews nodded one after another: "The courtyard at home is hidden in the mountains." "It's a short journey, so you don't have to bring too much grain and grass."

The future and the future are all arranged, the family is worry-free, the old lady stroked her gray beard and looked back at the direction where Taiyuan Mansion was located, and tears filled her eyes: "I am old, and my homeland is difficult to leave ......"

The nephews were busy tearfully persuading each other, "The Wei family can't do without the old lady", "Without the old lady, we can't move an inch" and so on.

While he was grieving, a guard galloped in.

"Oh no, Fang Ming Valley is occupied by the rebels." He shouted, and even more terrible news, "Ankang Mountain has entered the valley pass!" It is the imperial flag, the imperial flag of Ankang Mountain! ”

Ankang Mountain is really here to fight Taiyuan Mansion!

The old lady's tears disappeared, and she turned around and got into the car: "Go quickly!" Hurry up! ”

The men shouted and the horses neighed, and the chariots and horses galloped forward.

......

......

The people of Taiyuan Fucheng turned on their backs, and there were people running everywhere, crying and shouting, and the soldiers and horses defending the city and the servants tried to stop everyone, but in vain they were like mud cows into the sea in the crowd.

"How so?" The prefect stood in the porridge shack on the street, looking at the piles of sand and soil under his feet, and then at the scattered sacks, "How did the donated rice and grain become soil?" ”

"My lord, I used to give rice grain."

"We don't know when it will be replaced with dirt."

"We, we didn't expect them to do that."

"Donating rice and grain is a good deed, and no one wants to check if it's real."

"These people, why are these people so bad!"

"My lord, what's going on?"

"My lord, do we have anything to eat?"

"My lord, Ankang Mountain is calling? Did they all run? ”

Officials, you push me, I push you, shout injustices and curses, and the people crowded around also shout and ask.

The prefect looked at the chaos under his feet and wanted to turn around and say something, but he opened his mouth and felt that he couldn't say anything, and a general squeezed over and grabbed him.

"Your Excellency." He whispered in a low voice hoarsely, "There are no family guards to support Fang Minggu, Taishan, and Wucheng have no grain and grass delivered, and besides, the guards who said that they were patrolling the surroundings are also gone, and many people from the big families in the city are gone.....

The prefect could hear it at first, but then he couldn't hear what the general said, he looked around, crying, shouting, scolding, everyone's expressions and movements were wonderful, but his body and mind were quiet, just like watching a silent farce, watching a flowery painting, it was quite good-looking.....

The prefect couldn't help but laugh.

He grabbed the general with his backhand and asked, "Is Ankang Mountain coming?" ”

......

......

Li Fengjing kicked open the door of Li Mingqi's courtyard.

"If you don't leave, it's okay." He sneered and said, holding a lock in his hand, "I removed the lock you locked on my door and used it for you, I will lock the door for you, and you will die here with Taiyuan Mansion." ”

As he spoke, he went to lock the door, and Nian'er screamed and pounced to block it.

Li Mingqi rolled his eyes, walked past him and went straight out of the door, looking at the overwhelmed maidservants standing outside the door, as well as the people of the Xiang family who rushed over after hearing the news.

"I have already written a letter to Mingyu to pick us up on the way to the nearest Jiannan Dao soldiers."

"The men ride horses, the women ride in cars."

"I don't have any gold, silver and grain treasures, so I'll leave immediately."

"After dark, there is no one who rides on a horse, and it doesn't wait."

Li Mingqi gave an order, and the Xiang family was suddenly busy, and she looked at the people running away with a calm expression.

"You can bend and stretch." Lee Bong-kyung mocked.

Li Mingqi glanced at him: "Fourth uncle, this is called judging the situation and adapting to the situation, the bearing that the eldest lady should have." ”

Ignoring Li Fengjing, he put on his cloak and walked out surrounded by the soldiers.

Whether she stays or goes, she is the leader!

It's just not the same as before.

The carriage driving on the street is no longer the gorgeous cloud carriage that the people are familiar with, in order to avoid being recognized, Li Mingqi sits in a very ordinary small carriage, the carriage is simple, and the noise and chaos from the outside is almost ready to collapse the car.

Nian'er grabbed Li Mingqi's sleeve tightly, felt Li Mingqi's sleeve move, and reached out to lift a corner of the curtain.

Nian'er was so frightened that she almost screamed, and she was afraid that someone outside would hear her and hold her mouth down.

Li Mingqi looked out the window with a calm expression, but his eyes were full of chagrin and confusion, and his teeth bit his lip out of blood, why?

Why did the well-arranged, cohesive people's hearts, and the solid city wall that was built collapse all of a sudden?

Why is this happening?

......

......

Qi'a City did not enter the city again, and was persuaded by the officers and soldiers to pull on the horse.

"Miss, let's go, Ankang Mountain is here."

"Miss, you can't delay, Taiyuan Mansion can't hold it."

They shouted, no longer caring about the identity of the eldest lady, and pushed her on the horse.

Qi Acheng held the reins, and the whirring horse turned around a few times, looking at the location of Taiyuan Fucheng, angry and confused.

She shouted, "We haven't fought yet!" Haven't hit yet! ”

"Miss, you can't fight." The general said, turned over on his horse, and raised his whip, "The prefect has taken the official general to meet Ankang Mountain!" ”

The hearts of the people, the army, and the officials are all scattered!

Before you can fight, you will be defeated!

The horsewhip was whipped on Qi Acheng's horse, and the horse neighed and led Qi Acheng forward, and Qi Acheng clenched the reins and shouted loudly to the sky.

The fluttering hair covered her face, unable to hold back the anger on her face and the tears in her eyes.

Obviously done well, obviously arranged so well, Mingming!

"Why? Why is this happening? ”

......

......

In Guguan, the soldiers and horses formed a large camp, standing quietly and solemnly, and the men and horses abided by the order, guarding the golden chariots in the large array.

The chariot was set securely, with a curtain hanging from it, and the soldiers standing around it were like stone men holding their breath and silencing.

Someone rushed over, knelt down outside the car and said softly, "Your Majesty." ”

There was no reaction in the curtain.

The man did not dare to raise his voice, but called one by one in a soft voice, until the curtain was lifted to reveal the mountain of gold lying on the golden couch.

Jin Shan didn't open his eyes, and let out a displeasure when he was disturbed to sleep, huh?

The man leaned over and lay on the ground and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Zhao Jin, the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture, led the civil and military generals and 30,000 guards to welcome Your Majesty into the city. Your Majesty, to see or not to see? ”

Taiyuan Mansion, Ankang Mountain opened his eyes and looked ahead.

"Have you already arrived at Taiyuan Mansion?" He said, lazily changing his position and lying down, "Since they are so sincere, then I will go to Taiyuan Mansion." ”
