Chapter 739: Out of the City
At this time, it was almost dark, and the city gate was about to close in less than half an hour, and lanterns had been hung at the door of the restaurant and teahouse on the street to prepare for the night in advance. Ordinary people have to rest at night, but some livelihoods have just begun at nightfall.
Three hundred and sixty lines, the natural lines are different.
Carrying a big bag and a small bag, I don't know if it's the relationship between the ten taels of silver, today's Pei Zongzhi is surprisingly good at talking, and even helped carry two packages, so a share, Mr. Huang Shi and Liu Minzhi don't have many things on their backs, and they don't walk slowly.
The road at night is not easy to walk, so generally speaking, when the city gate is about to close in half an hour, there should not be many people, no, to be precise, there should not be many people who look like they are going to go far away.
Mr. Huang Shi and Liu Minzhi looked at the pedestrians who were in a hurry with packages on their backs, and a bad feeling arose in their hearts: "What's wrong?" ”
Pei Zongzhi raised his chin and looked ahead.
Mr. Huang Shi and Liu Minzhi followed his gaze, but saw that there was already a long line at the gate of the city in front of them, and this line was not very neat, there were many carriages parked on the side, the coachman waved his whip with an anxious face, and there were also pedestrians on foot like them crowded and insulting.
It's like fleeing.
"That's not good!" Liu Minzhi looked around, and saw that the people who had passed by unaware seemed to be frightened by the atmosphere of fleeing, and asked again and again what happened, "Suffered!" He said, "Regardless of whether these people are strict or not, the people had better conform to the herd, I am afraid that it will not be long before there will be chaos." ”
I'm afraid that at that time, no matter whether those who know the news or those who don't know the news, they will all run out of the city, and before the battle reaches the vicinity of Chang'an City, there will be civil strife in the city first.
"Let's go!" Pei Zongzhi hung the package on his shoulder, and reached out to pat the backs of the two of them.
Mr. Huang Shi and Liu Minzhi only felt that there was an extra force in their backs, and they were involuntarily pushed forward, this force was extremely domineering, and they really squeezed out a way in the chaotic crowd.
Mr. Huang Shi's face was hot, and he tore off a few beards in a hurry, and he shouted in pain: "You light! ”
Liu Minzhi also tore off a few hairs, grinning in pain, only to feel that people were like kneading dough, and they were stirred. I finally squeezed to the city gate and was about to speak, when I heard someone behind me shouting, "The officers and soldiers are coming!" ”
The vigorous force behind him came again, and Mr. Huang Shi only felt that people were twisted into a ball. The strong force behind him disappeared in an instant, and a hand passed over him and shook it in front of the officers and soldiers guarding the city: "Let these two people get out of the city!" ”
The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate were stunned when they saw the sign, and immediately turned sideways, Mr. Huang Shi and Liu Minzhi only felt that the strong force was surging again, and the whole person staggered forward, but rushed out of the crowd, and one did not stand firm and fell to the ground.
Before the two of them could stand up, someone shouted as the two packages were thrown in the air: "Close the city gate!" ”
The two of them also ignored the dust on the ground, sat on the ground, and watched in amazement as the two city gates slowly closed, the noisy crowd at the city gates, the officers and soldiers who came after hearing the news, and the back of Pei Zongzhi who turned around were all locked behind the city gates.
When he came back to his senses, Liu Minzhi helped Mr. Huangshi to stand up, shocked: "It's okay to come out!" "Such a rush out of the city will attract the panic of the people and the crowd, and at the same time, it will naturally attract the attention of the officers and soldiers.
"yes!" Mr. Huang Shi stood still with the strength of Liu Minzhi, but he didn't care about the embarrassment of the two of them anymore, but couldn't help patting his chest: "Fortunately, I came out today, no wonder Pei Zongzhi wants us to leave today." ”
"In fact, even if we leave today, we will almost not be able to get out." Liu Minzhi took a sweat towel and wiped the dust on his face, "It's good that my cousin helped." ”
"Anyway, we're out." Mr. Huangshi said, picking up the package on the ground and looking around, "Find a place to spend the night first, and then go tomorrow morning." ”
Liu Minzhi pointed to the foot shop not far away: "I'm afraid it's full." Outside the shop, there were wagons and horses, and many pedestrians spread a cloth on the spot, as if they were going to spend the night.
"Drink some hot food and make a fire! It is estimated that the horses in the front post station have been bought, and we still have to rely on walking. Mr. Huang Shi sighed, shocked, "Anyway, we always come out, and it's much better than those who can't." ”
Liu Minzhi sighed: "The news spread really fast, but it was only half a day's work!" ”
Mr. Huangshi carried the baggage: "Let's go!" ”
"Where are we going?" Liu Minzhi asked, and then glanced at Chang'an City behind him, "I didn't expect that Liu Mou left Chang'an for the first time because of this." ”
"Go after the relics of the Confucian saints." Mr. Huang Shi said, "Didn't you tell me that you were going to go on a study tour? Isn't it appropriate for a teacher to pursue the relics of the Confucian saint? ”
"That's right." Liu Min was a little stupid again, "It's the first time I've done something bad," he looked at Mr. Huangshi with a humble expression, "I'm not more experienced than you." ”
Mr. Huang Shi stretched out his leg and kicked: "Don't think I didn't hear that you are burying me. What's wrong with being afraid of death? I don't have the same family background as the family, and I don't have the best kung fu to protect myself, so if I am unlucky, it will cost me my life. ”
"The heavens and the earth are big, and the lives are the greatest." Liu Minzhi smiled, "It's true, ordinary people like me are better to spare their lives." ”
……
When the officials were on duty, it was when the farce on the street was about to end, and the temporarily transferred officers and soldiers guarded the gates of Chang'an City on all sides, and strictly forbade them not to leave the city.
"See? This is my father's brand! The stalemate seemed to be the young lady in the backyard of the official's house, and the stalemate lasted for a long time, and she was also in a hurry, the young lady actually got out of the carriage, walked in front of the officers and soldiers, and threw a bag of silver over, and the officers and soldiers flashed, but did not answer, and the bag of silver fell to the ground, making a dull sound, and there was a lot of money.
"I'm going out of town!" The young lady pursed her lips and said, "If you don't let me out of the city, go back and tell my father!" ”
The officers and soldiers who were almost smashed with silver frowned, turned to leave, and after a while, they came over with an officer and soldier who seemed to be the leader and pointed out: "It's her!" ”
The young lady snorted coldly, and the sign in her hand stretched forward.
The leading officer and soldier looked at the sign and walked towards the young lady: "It turned out to be the family of the ceremonial squire, disrespectful!" ”
"Then you know ......" The brutal young lady didn't finish her sentence, and screams rang out all around.
Wei Tongyuan, who was passing by, watched the blood beads on the long knives in the hands of the officers and soldiers condense to the tip of the knife and staggered, his hand shook, and the food box fell to the ground, making a "pop" sound.
