Chapter 59: Escape
When he returned to Kyoto, it was already late, Chu Xuan immediately sent guards to Su Mansion to arrest Chu Dan and Su Xinmo, but the people who came came back to him, Su Mansion is now empty, and the armor soldier in charge of guarding is gone, and even Su Haochen doesn't know where he went.
Chu Xuan was furious in his heart, needless to say, it must be Su Haochen who was afraid that he would be unfavorable to the two of them, so he fled with them in advance.
But at this time, he didn't care about getting angry, and hurriedly returned to the harem to clean up a little, planning to take Su Xintang and Leng Er out to avoid it, and wait for the Jin army to leave. As for what will become of Kyoto, he can't care less. Anyway, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, as long as people are well, there will be a chance for revenge in the future.
As soon as he said go, Chu Xuan immediately rushed to the harem.
The two wives live in the deep palace and have no idea of the current grim situation in Kyoto, and they are still bathing in the hot springs in the apse at this time. Seeing Chu Xuanhuo walking towards this side in a hurry, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Your Majesty, you're back, and you're going to keep dinner for you." Leng Er hurriedly got up to greet him.
"Don't wash it, get dressed, pack up, and leave Kyoto with me." This time I was in a hurry, and all the unimportant things were thrown away! An hour later, I was waiting for you at the gate of the Imperial City. Chu Xuan didn't care about what dinner to eat, so he hurriedly said.
"Husband, what's wrong?is something big going on?" Hearing Chu Xuan's tone, it didn't seem like a joke, Su Xintang was busy changing clothes and asking.
Chu Xuan hurriedly said: "Speaking of which, it's all a good thing done by your sister! Your father is also an old treacherous and cunning person! They don't treat you as a relative at all." ”
Leng Er on the side had already put on her clothes and said suspiciously: "What's wrong with Sister Xinmo? A few days ago, she went to the palace to play with me and Sister Xintang." ”
Chu Xuan said angrily: "It's her coming to you that is the bad thing! I don't have time to explain the specific situation, you two go and prepare!"
After saying that, Chu Xuan went to his study and dormitory to pack up his belongings first.
The elixir brought out from Xuanhuang Mountain was put in the medicine bag for about a year, and almost all of them became dried medicine at this time, and most of them had been given to the Jin army as a gift, and there were only more than ten very precious superlatives, and he was reluctant to give them to others. Now that I'm leaving, I'm naturally taking it with me.
In addition to these elixirs, the most important thing is the secret book of the book of peeking into the sky, as well as the national seal of the Great Zhou Emperor. As for other miscellaneous things, he couldn't take care of them, so he could only cheapen the bastards of the Jin Kingdom.
In the middle of the night, Chu Xuan waited in a panic, and the two wives finally packed their luggage and went to the apse to meet him.
Seeing that the two of them were carrying a lot of items in large bags, Chu Xuan couldn't help but be furious: "Didn't you say that you were in a hurry? Why do you still bring so much! You will kill yourself like this, do you know!"
Chu Xuan has always been gentle and rarely loses his temper, but it was the first time for the two of them to see him angry like this, and they were immediately silent, and after looking at each other for a while, they reluctantly threw away some clothes and jewelry.
In order to hide people's eyes, Chu Xuan specially prepared eight carriages and went out of the city overnight from four directions in Kyoto at the same time.
Among the eight carriages, the six carriages in the south, north, and west directions were all carried by three people disguised as guards and palace maids. Chu Xuan and his two wives rode the other two carriages all the way to the east, accompanied by a hundred and ten personal guards on horseback. Most of these guards were Brother Yuwei, whom he had known as a guard, and who had been promoted by him, so that he was loyal to him.
This trick really works. The people went out of the city gate and walked in fear all night, and when it was almost dawn, they finally left Kyoto safely and came to the suburbs.
On the carriage, Chu Xuan opened the curtain and looked out, coincidentally, not far away was the place where he and his two wives went out to play a few days ago, the mountains and rivers were beautiful, the willows were green and pink, and the scenery was still chic. I just looked up at the sky, but I saw that the weather was gloomy, and it seemed that a heavy rain was coming.
In the carriage, Su Xintang couldn't help but ask: "Husband, now that it's safe, you can tell me what happened, right?"
Chu Xuan turned his head and saw that Leng Er was also looking at him with a curious face, so he said the Jin army to the city, the excessive demands of the young man surnamed Xia, etc., and said it simply.
Su Xintang listened, his face was red and white, and after a while, he suddenly cried: "You should send me out, it's me who has affected you and the people of Zhou, woo woo......"
Chu Xuan glared at her and reprimanded, "Why do you even say such nonsense? I'd rather die than send you to please others!"
Su Xintang was scolded by him a few words, stopped talking, and just cried vigorously. Leng Er hurriedly held her hand and kept comforting her.
At this moment, there was a faint sound of breaking the air outside the carriage, and it was not long before the screams of many guards came from behind the carriage. Chu Xuan lifted the curtain of the car, poked his head out to look, and saw a group of 100 cavalrymen appear behind everyone, waving a red dragon flag with a big Jin character written on it. It turned out to be the Jin army chasing after him!
Chu Xuan was horrified in his heart, he really couldn't understand why the other party came so quickly, and after careful observation for a while, he knew why this was happening. It turned out that the problem was on the horse, the horses ridden by the Jin army, I don't know what kind of alien species, the whole body was blue, and there was a long horn on the head, sprinting with hooves, chasing the wind and electricity, the speed was a few points faster than the ordinary monks' running methods, no wonder they could catch up with Chu Xuan and others.
Chu Xuan knew that with these guards around him, he was afraid that he would not be able to stop the other party for a moment, and the safety of his two wives could only fall on himself.
He immediately ordered the guards: "You and the others quickly divided into two groups, one group guarding the carriage of the two ladies to flee in the direction of the north, and the other group to flee in the direction of the south with the empty carriage!
The situation was urgent, and the guards quickly received the order, protecting the two carriages and escaping in both directions, while Chu Xuan stayed behind to deal with the Jin army behind him.
A person walked out of the Jin army on the opposite side, it was the young man surnamed Xia who wanted to blackmail Chu Xuan yesterday, I saw him wave his hand, and the Jin army immediately divided into two groups and chased after Fang Cai's two carriages.
He patted the horse, walked up to Chu Xuan, looked at the other party condescendingly, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that you made a stupid choice, not only will you die, your queen will die, and your country will disappear from this continent." Tsk, I can't believe that for the sake of your ridiculous dignity, you really dare to disobey my son, and disobey a person you can't afford to offend. Yes, yes, for this backbone, I'll have someone leave you a whole corpse. ”
The other party smiled normally, and didn't even ask a hint of jokingly. Chu Xuan only felt a sense of humiliation, inferiority, and powerlessness pouring into his heart from the soles of his feet, and he suddenly felt that he had returned to the state of being regarded as a waste seven years ago.
Chu Xuan's legs were weak, and he knelt down again, this was the fourth time in his life that he knelt to someone, the first time was to Li Shouyi, the second time was to Chu Mo, and the last two times were to the young man in front of him. At this moment, all his self-esteem and superiority were all in vain, and he lowered his head and pleaded word by word:
"Young Master Xia, I know that I am not your opponent at all, I only hope that you can raise your noble hand and let my two wives go, as for me, whether you want to kill or torture, Chu Xuan will listen to you. ”
Xia Xing glanced at him and said, "Do you think you are qualified to bargain with me?" Not only will I kill you, but I will not let go of those two women. ”
As he spoke, he waved his long sleeves, and a long knife suddenly appeared in his hand.
