Chapter 7 Escape from Xuzhou City
Zhou Dutou's work efficiency is very high, and after noon the next day, there was news from Qingqing and his party, saying that they were staying in Lanling City, which is not far from here, and they were also anxiously asking around for my news.

Brother Lin was seriously injured and had not healed, and he was unable to walk for the time being, and the road was bumpy, which was not conducive to the healing of his wounds.
Thinking that there is still some time before the 'spring' election, I am not in a hurry. I asked Zhou Dutou to bring peace to Qingqing and a few people, let them rush into Beijing first, and Brother Lin and I will stay in Xuzhou City for a few days, and after he recovers from his injury, we will chase after him on horseback, so as not to delay everyone's trip.
Zhou Dutou was afraid that his subordinates would not be able to do things well, so he personally went to Lanling City, and when the sky was dark at night, he rushed back to the mansion in the dust, and brought back a few pieces of luggage and silver taels for me.
It is said that Qingqing and several people, as we expected, encountered an ambush on the road at the same time, startled the carriage, and fought for a long time.
Fortunately, his father had already prepared, and the guards who accompanied him were all masters, and Mu Lin knew that the Gu poison person was powerful, so he reminded him in advance. Seeing that there was nothing cheap, the Gu poison man retreated, and everyone was only slightly injured, and there was no major problem.
However, in the process of fighting, Mu Lin disappeared without a trace, and his life and death are still uncertain.
I'm a little anxious, after all, Mu Lin is now replacing the identity of the Crazy Stone, those mysterious Gu poison people will definitely not give up in order to find the whereabouts of the Candle Dragon Order, and Mu Lin has just been tricked by me, his body is dehydrated and weak, isn't it dangerous?
Brother Lin comforted me and said: "Mu Lin's kung fu is definitely not below me, and his light body kung fu is superb, he is good at concealment, and he will not have to worry about his 'sex' life." He must be looking around for news of you now, and we made such a big noise at the gate of the city yesterday, maybe he is hiding in some corner now, secretly protecting you. โ
I ran out of the yard with joy and looked around for a long time, especially at the top of the roof tree, and examined it carefully, and there was no one in sight. Fang came back dejectedly and asked about the injuries of the others.
Zhou Dutou said that the two girls next to me also suffered skin injuries, and they clamored to follow him to Xuzhou City to take care of my daily life, and they didn't let go.
Finally, Qingqing opened his mouth to persuade him to get rid of it, and another little girl secretly followed him for a long time, and after going out of the city, he couldn't catch up, so he sat on the ground and cried his nose. Zhou Dutou had no choice but to ride back again.
I knew that what he said must be a small example, and I knew that I had encountered bandits, and I didn't know how to worry about it, and my heart was full of emotion for a while.
After the prefect knew that Brother Lin had woken up, he made a special trip to ask for a meeting, and he was respectful, but there were many temptations about Brother Lin's identity between words. Brother Lin avoided the important and trivialized, dealing with him, neither admitting nor denying that he was the owner of the Qi 'jade', looking unfathomable, and repeatedly told the prefect not to publicize it everywhere.
The prefect was cunning, and when he saw that he couldn't ask why, he changed his way and talked to Brother Lin about the court and the battlefield. Brother Lin talked eloquently, every word was exquisite, and every sentence was mysterious, and the prefect actually believed it seventy or eighty percent, and became more and more respectful to us.
I couldn't help but tease Brother Lin when no one was: "I didn't expect you to be so good at acting and coaxing that dog official to be stunned." If I hadn't known you a long time ago, I would have misunderstood you for a high temple. โ
Brother Lin didn't say anything.
The prefect was particularly courteous to us, and only sent the delicacies of the mountains and seas, silk and satin, and the people's fat and ointment that were scavenged on weekdays into the courtyard in a steady stream, and 'handed' the subordinates, who were on duty day and night, and served diligently.
Probably the prefect really hid our identities from the people in the house, and a few concubines around me thought that the prefect was hiding in the golden house again, and they were 'bewitched' by me and took away their master. On weekdays, a few people who were red-faced and red-eared were unprecedentedly united, and while the prefect was not in the mansion, they came to kill me in a mighty way.
My nose is naturally sensitive, and I am most afraid of the smell of prick 'excitement' and 'sex'. Several 'women' surrounded me and judged my tastes, and the aroma of fat powder on my body made me dizzy, and I sneezed a few times in succession, and even tears flowed down.
A few people thought that I was weak and could be bullied, so they intensified it, turned the yard into a mess, and even tried to do something to me.
Brother Lin, who heard the voice, thought that I had been wronged, and changed his humble and gentlemanly attitude in the past, protected me behind him, and several 'women' screamed miserably, stumbled and swollen their noses and faces, and fled out in embarrassment.
After the prefect returned home, he heard about this, and saw that his aunts were too unrecognizable, and the corners of his eyes twitched in distress, and he gritted his teeth with hatred, but he couldn't have a seizure, and he had to endure the anger to come to bear the guilt.
Zhou Dutou reminded us that the prefect has always protected the short, and we need to be cautious and vigilant.
It just so happened that Brother Lin's injuries had improved a lot, and I was tired of this pickled place, so I used this excuse to live in the post station, and Zhou Dutou was still responsible for protecting our safety.
I was tired of that prefect, but I admired Zhou Dutou, and from the day I entered the city, I could see that this Dutou was a dutiful and righteous man.
After instructing Brother Lin to inquire behind his back, he learned that Zhou Dutou was originally also a figure and held an important position in the capital army. But he is jealous and hateful, and he is easy to meddle in some things, and he has offended many people.
Therefore, all the way down, to this Xuzhou City to make a sesame mung bean big capital. And he has long been at odds with this 'lustful' prefect, and has been deducted from the silver under the pretext of several times, and sneered.
Brother Lin also 'befriended' him, and went out drinking with him several times without me. I don't know if it's because of this, but the wounds of his wounds are always repeated, and they have not been able to heal, and they have been delayed for a long time.
In Xuzhou City, Brother Lin and I escaped in embarrassment.
Unexpectedly, the prefect was also alert, and secretly sent someone to the capital quickly, and brought back the news that the master of this 'jade' pendant is now eating and hunting in Beijing safely.
The prefect knew that he had been deceived, so he aggressively brought people and horses to the 'door'.
Fortunately, Zhou Dutou had a 'friendship' with Brother Lin, and sent the news to his henchmen in advance. We rode on the red horse and broke out of the city gate first.
The prefect chased out three or four miles of land with a popular personality before he unwillingly sounded the gong and withdrew his troops. Brother Lin and I stopped laughing, and we were a little worried about whether Zhou Dutou would be affected by us.
I couldn't help but ask Brother Lin, what is the origin of this 'jade' pendant, which can make the prefect so respectful?
Brother Lin only lightly spit out an inexplicable sentence: "The dragon gives birth to nine sons, and the sky is auspicious." The golden dragon is respected, and the unicorn is precious.
The unicorn is the patron saint of the Chang'an Dynasty. โ
Stay with Brother Lin all the way day and night, when the interest comes up, he will ride a horse and gallop, stroll in a place with beautiful scenery, experience the customs of various places along the way, taste food and wine, and be at ease.
It is no wonder that there are so many knights in the rivers and lakes who do not bend their waists for fame, like to fight swords and enjoy the rivers and lakes, gallop through the mountains and rivers, and throw away the wine but the red dust.
I am also happy to think about it, and I am timid.
Looking at the towering 'gate' of the capital city under the sun in the distance, the golden bronzing characters, the simple and heavy blue brick city wall, the traffic is busy, the flow of people is endless, and it is prosperous.
But I felt a little coercion of being swallowed up for no reason, and I was afraid to move forward, and my heart was full of apprehension.
I don't know, what greeted me? Stepping into this 'gate' may be a cage and a layer of hell.
Brother Lin stepped forward and clenched my hand, his palms sweating slightly: "Are you afraid?" โ
I nodded: "Everyone is terrified of the unknown, and I am no exception. โ
Brother Lin also raised his head and squinted at the city gate, and said word by word: "Qingwu, if one day, you are tired of being here, remember to tell me, I will take you away, just like these days, galloping on horses, watching the lonely smoke of the desert, enjoying the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, drinking wine in the wind, playing music and cooking tea, unrestrained, and enjoying a lifetime of freedom, how about it?" โ
Brother Lin's voice is warm and magnetic, and his voice is a little hoarse all the way.
I turned my head to look at his side face, with long eyebrows and sideburns, a firm and 'straight' nose bridge, and a well-defined 'lip' line, as if it was finely carved.
My heart was 'excited' and 'swinging', and the word "good" blurted out a few 'desires'.
A canopy carriage with imitation purple sand 'color' rushed out of the city's 'gate' and rushed straight in our direction. As we approached, the speed did not diminish in the slightest, and the coachman spurred his horse and drove past me in the corner of his clothes, kicking up dust all the way and interrupting my 'desire' to exit. The beautiful scenery in Shicai's heart has also disappeared.
As the carriage passed me, there was a soft grunt of great displeasure from the carriage, which seemed to be disgusted with me and blocked his way. It's just that the curtain of the 'door' of the carriage hangs low, and the interior furnishings and the appearance of the owner cannot be seen.
"Why is this coachman so reckless?" I took two steps back and hurriedly covered my mouth and nose with my cuffs.
"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, most of the powerful are like this." Brother Lin said: "The people below are bullying, and there are many people who are rampant and domineering. โ
He glanced up at the city gate again, took a deep breath, and spoke in a heavy tone, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Why do I think you're more nervous than I am?" I joked, "You've been to the capital before, haven't you?" โ
He smiled and nodded: "Sort of, Qingwu, let's go." โ
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance of the city 'gate', the crowd dispersed, and two neat teams of soldiers, dressed in silver and white armor and holding red tassels and silver spears, lined up in two teams, and rushed out from the city 'gate', rushing straight towards me and Brother Lin, and surrounded us.
The leader was a black-faced man, riding on a tall horse, looking at us condescendingly, and said expressionlessly:
"Arrest this audacious thief for me and escort him to Dali Temple for trial!"
"Bang" There was a sound of armor colliding, and immediately a soldier raised his gun forward, pointing directly at Brother Lin.
I couldn't help but be shocked and asked, "What sin have we committed?" Please let me know! โ
The leader looked at me, took out a scroll from his bosom, raised his hand and threw it at us: "See for yourself! โ
Brother Lin stretched out his hand and took it in his hand, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a facial portrait of the two of us, painted vividly, with a few big characters on it with silver hooks, "Arrest the two thieves who pretended to be officials of the imperial court: Lin Mosheng and Su Qingwen." โ
