The door was closed from the outside, and Jin Xiaolou sat at the table with a smile on his face, but his heart was extremely worried.

It took a long time before he finally made up his mind, got up and pulled the door open and chased out.

Guizhi's figure has gone out of the courtyard, walking on the promenade covered with wisteria, the breeze blows, the wisteria flowers are swaying, and the small back of Guizhi is looming. She was holding the robe that Jin Xiaolou had just changed into with one hand, and the other hand was twisting slightly, as if she was groping for something.

"Katsura Branch!" Jin Xiaolou immediately spoke up and stopped Gui Zhi, who was about to turn to the end of the corridor.

Gui Zhi's back paused slightly, and after a while, he slowly turned around and said to Jin Xiaolou from afar: "What's wrong?" ”

Jin Xiaolou stepped forward and spoke: "I almost forgot, the letter Gao Lang sent me is still in this sleeve robe." ”

Gui Zhiwaner: "I just said that there is something bulging in this dress. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and took out an envelope: "Oh, put it away!" Gao Lang is in such a far away place, it is rare to get a letter, don't lose it. ”

Seeing Jin Xiaolou nodding silently, Gui Zhi glanced at the sky and asked as if unintentionally, "Gao Lang, when will he come back to reunite with your mother and son?" ”

Jin Xiaolou raised his face and looked at Gui Zhi's eyes that were as clear and bright as a lake. Then he shook his head slightly, shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Unless the emperor is gracious and orders him to be summoned back to Beijing, he will have to stay in the place of Gongbian forever." ”

Jin Xiaolou didn't want to lie to Gui Zhi, but she had to do it right now. A few days ago, Lu Yun came to report that Tan Changsheng's family had been found, and they had been parked in Yizhuang outside the city for many days without claiming it, and they were about to be dragged to a mass grave and buried at will.

Fortunately, at that time, Jin Xiaolou saw that Lu Yun had been looking for Tan Changsheng for a long time, and asked her to find the recently unclaimed corpse, so she did not miss this critical information.

The body was found in a deep pool, a family of four, neatly organized. If it weren't for the fact that the informant was familiar with Tan Changsheng's family, and he deliberately paid attention to remembering the red mole on Tan Changsheng's neck, otherwise this white-haired corpse would not be recognized by anyone.

Tan Changsheng's family died strangely, and Jin Xiaolou had to be more cautious. She didn't want Gui Zhi to be hurt in any way, but she didn't allow anyone to hurt Gao Lang.

Jin Xiaolou understands that Gao Lang has arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, such a huge team, a huge group of people, if there is usually news to everyone's ears.

But now, the land of the Great Zhou is full of gunsmoke, and the Liukou rebels and even the homeless people are running around, and Gao Lang and them are cautious and careful, but they also cover up their tracks.

This made someone do everything possible to inquire about Gao Lang's movements.

"Katsura Branch." Jin Xiaolou put the letter close to him, stretched out his hand, and held the shoulders of the person in front of him, "Before I met Gao Lang, I already knew you." ”

Guizhi's eyes flashed: "I know, you have said it many times. ”

Jin Xiaolou nodded: "What I want to say is that I want to reunite with Gao Lang, and I also want to be with you day and night, just like when I was in Xinning in the past." ”

Guizhi's expression was a little erratic, and many faces flashed in front of her eyes in an instant, which made her afraid, moved, and deeply loved...... But none of them belonged to Jin Xiaolou.

Seeing that Gui Zhi didn't speak, Jin Xiaolou said firmly: "I miss you, be with me." ”

This sentence "with me" does not only refer to leaving Guizhi by your side, but heart to heart together, it is two people who believe in each other and rely on each other.

But Guizhi only said: "Am I not already with you?" Xiaolou, as long as you don't drive me away, then I will always live in this rainbow garden! ”

……

Chang'an just came back to take a look, brought a letter, and was going out of the city the next day.

Jin Xiaolou hugged Nian'er, Nanyang led Lin'er, and sent Chang'an all the way to the city gate, who knew that as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard a commotion, two rows of soldiers with spears trotted towards the city gate, and after shouting, the two heavy city gates were slowly closed.

It's still early now, and it's the time of day when there are the most people coming and going, besides, how can there be a reason to close the city gate in broad daylight?

Seeing that Chang'an was about to be unable to get out, Nanyang hurriedly grabbed a soldier leader and asked, "Big brother, what's going on?" Why is the city gate closed at this time? ”

The leader of the soldiers waved his hand, he didn't want to gossip with others, but when he saw Nanyang's hand stretched out, he stuffed a piece of silver, and his eyes lit up immediately, and he said kindly: "I heard that there is a group of homeless people, thousands of people, the harvest is not good, there is not much surplus grain, and they are robbed by thieves, hungry and have nowhere to go, all of them are rushing to the capital!" ”

The leader of the soldiers smashed his tongue: "Now that there is a terrible chaos in the four places, how can the top let the homeless people pour into the city?" What kind of people are mixed in with the homeless people! We are also acting on orders, and once the gate of this city is closed, I am afraid that it will not be opened in ten days and a half months! ”

"Can you let people out of the city?" Nanyang took out another ingot of silver.

The leader of the soldiers looked up and down at the two women with children, then at the man who followed him, and shrugged his nose: "Where are you going, you draggers?" ”

Nanyang smiled and said: "My father-in-law went back to his hometown to visit relatives, and he was on the outskirts of Beijing. ”

The soldier leader returned his eyes to Chang'an, and looked at it several times before saying: "It's okay to go out, but if you go out, you won't be able to get in!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay to let him go back to his hometown for a year and a half!" Nanyang is busy.

"Okay, then come with me!"

The leader of the soldiers led a few people up the city wall, found a remote place, put down the ladder, and Rong Chang'an climbed down.

Although Chang'an was sent out of the city safely, Nanyang and Jin Xiaolou had sad faces on their faces.

This city gate is said to be closed, as if the upper side already knows that someone is waiting outside, as soon as the door is closed, Gao Lang wants to come in, then it will be even more difficult.

"Madam, although there has been no movement on Prince Xian's side, the anger in the court is getting heavier and heavier." Nanyang voiced, "The world has become like this, the new emperor is young and not in charge, and many people advocate abolishing the queen mother and supporting Prince Xian." ”

Seeing that Jin Xiaolou frowned tightly and didn't speak, Nanyang continued: "It's just that Prince Xian is thinking, I really can't figure it out, it stands to reason that now is his best opportunity." ”

"He's waiting for an opportunity, a moment that makes sense." Jin Xiaolou raised his eyes, "For example, this group of homeless people suddenly appeared." ”

"Outcasts?" Nanyang's back was cold.

"That's right, as soon as the displaced people come, they will block the city gates, and the people outside will not be able to enter, and the people inside will not be able to get out." The more Jin Xiaolou thought about it, the more so, "If Prince Xian changes hands because of the dispute in the court again because of this group of homeless people at this time, who in this capital can stop him?" ”

Nanyang almost held his breath: "That...... We have to tell the Seventh Master quickly. ”

"Chang'an will tell him." Jin Xiaolou believed that Chang'an must have seen it, "Now you are trying to find a way to establish a good relationship with the leader of the soldiers, and find an opportunity to go out of the city and blend in with this group of homeless people, and a lot of news can only be heard when you are in it." ”

"Yes." Without further ado, Nanyang handed over Lin'er to Jin Xiaolou and left.

Nanyang first invited the soldier leader to drink a pot of good Biluochun, and after a break from drinking, which side of the capital city wall is high, which side is low, and where there are a few dog holes, all of them are clear. Then I bought clothes from the beggar on the street, put them on without smelling or dirty, found a slightly wider dog hole, and squeezed them out.

Outside the gate of the capital, the mourning was everywhere, and most of the displaced people who were surrounded in front of the gate were yellow and thin, and their clothes were not covered, and Nanyang, who was wearing beggar clothes, was the most thoughtful among them.

Nanyang only slept in front of this city gate for one night, and the origin of this group of homeless people was completely clear.

……

Jin Xiaolou just got up to feed the two children, and Gui Zhi was walking in the garden with the children, Nanyang didn't care about the dirty smell on his body, he wanted to come forward directly to explain the situation to Jin Xiaolou, but seeing Gui Zhi beside him, after hesitating for a moment, he still changed his clothes.

stepped forward, and asked Jin Xiaolou to see the newly made pastries, and broke up Gui Zhi and the two children.

"Madam, Prince Xian is only afraid that he will have to do it in the next two days!" Nanyang was anxious, "That group of homeless people had already fled to the outskirts of Beijing three months ago, but they didn't dare to make a mistake at the feet of the emperor in the capital, so they never came to the capital, but just begged for food in the nearby villages to make a living." But just a day ago, a beggar came out of nowhere and told them that the new emperor had not long ascended the throne, and he was about to appease the people's livelihood and conform to the will of the people, as long as they blocked the gate of the capital and insisted that they would enter the capital to have a full meal, the emperor would definitely not sit idly by, and would definitely give them a place to stay and reward them with a full stomach! ”

Jin Xiaolou's hand became tighter and tighter.

"In my opinion, this group of people was instigated by Prince Xian, he must have known the movements of the Seventh Master, so he immediately took action and let this group of homeless people block the city gate, and the next step is to change his life against the sky!"
