Chapter 105: The Willows and Flowers

Chang Hui released all the inmates in the cell, and when the guards of the Hun military camp heard the movement came, they saw the black crowd, and they couldn't tell who was who, so they could only meet one and arrest another.

Yao Hulu and the others took advantage of the chaos to escape, and when they escaped from the barracks, the Huns' guards were still busy catching the fleeing prisoners, and no one noticed that Chang Hui had escaped, let alone who came to rescue him.

Some of the cellmates were lucky enough to escape from the Hun camp like Chang Hui, but some were also escorted back. The number of alarmed guards increased, and the difficulty of escaping became more and more difficult, and the chaotic scene gradually became controlled, and most of the prisoners were re-locked in their cells, and a very small part was also due to their own familiarity with the terrain, and there were favorable conditions for escaping.

Looking at the complaining inmates, Chang Hui could only sigh: "Whether you can escape or not depends on your personal creation, don't say that I am selfish in the future, I have done my best to help you." ”

Shizhong pulled Chang Hui's arm: "Okay, let's go, while no one is chasing after you now." ”

The medicine gourd squinted at Chang Hui, and said with a smile: "I can't see that you stupid guy has learned to be clever, and you have actually learned the trick of creating a blind eye, but I think you are not saving them, but making them hate you even more, they covered you to escape, but they were caught back, originally hoping to see the light of day again, who knows that it will be even darker in the future, it is better to never have hope, you take revenge on them like this, it is really ruthless!" ”

"Look at what you said, I really didn't want to take revenge on anyone, but I just gave them a chance to come out and let them out, let them know that it was impossible to get out of the cell. You see, there are also some people who have been saved, this is called each according to his ability, why can some people escape, some people are captured, and the creation is different! Chang Hui shook his head and looked deeply in the direction of the cell, "I remember this place, and if I come back one day, I will definitely raze this place to the ground." ”

Liu Ye and Qing Ling were praying for them, and vaguely heard a burst of footsteps outside the door, Qing Ling walked over to see that the medicine gourd and the division were covering someone who was going upstairs. Although the man was dirty and couldn't see his face clearly, he could still tell that the person was Chang Hui by looking at his body and momentum.

"Princess, princess, they're back, they're back......" Qing Ling spoke incoherently excitedly, pointing in the direction outside the door, "General Chang, he's fine, he's back......"

Liu Ye hurriedly got up, gently patted Qingling's shoulder, and tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart: "Calm down, don't make a noise." ”

Qing Ling nodded hurriedly, hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, pursed her lips tightly, and tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes. If Feng Yan was also present and saw Chang Hui come back alive from the Huns' cell, she was afraid that she would be even more excited.

Seeing them approaching, Liu Ye opened the door to welcome them in, and those elite soldiers stood guard outside the door, cautiously inspecting the surrounding situation.

When Chang Hui saw Liu Ye, he knelt down with a plop: "Princess, Chang Hui is incompetent, which makes you worried." ”

Liu Ye hurriedly shook his head, leaned over to help him up, looked at his emaciated and haggard face, and choked up: "General Chang, it's good for you to come back, my sister misses you all the time." ”

"Little sister-in-law......" Chang Hui read his beloved wife's name, and her eyes couldn't help but redden, "She, how is she?" Are she okay with the baby? ”

"Well, it's all good, their mother and son are fine, and now it's even better if you're back." Liu Ye smiled with relief, "I can see your family reunited, and I feel at ease." ”

"Princess ......" Shi Zhong knew that Liu Ye still had a lot to say, but he had to remind him now, "It's better for us to leave as soon as possible, it is estimated that the Huns have already discovered that General Chang has fled at this time, and it will not be good if the capital is blocked." ”

"Yes, it's not time to relax." Liu Ye wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and pulled Chang Hui up, "General Chang, I have wronged you these days, come, you change your clothes first, freshen up briefly, and we will go in a hurry." ”

Chang Hui freshened up and changed into coarse cloth clothes, never wanting to be a prisoner who had just escaped from prison. They followed the convoy to the city gate, and when they saw that they were about to leave smoothly, they suddenly saw hundreds of Hun cavalry rushing to the city gate, demanding that the guards guarding the city gate immediately seal the city.

Seeing this formation, the people of the Xiongnu knew that something big had happened in the city, and they scattered like birds and beasts, and they went back to their homes for fear of causing unnecessary trouble. It was difficult for the convoy to move forward in the crowd, and neither the medicine gourd nor the division expected that the Hun military camp would move so fast, and they were a little at a loss for a while.

"Master, let's go to the city gate on the other side!" An elite soldier saw the situation and immediately suggested.

Shi Zhong frowned: "It's too late, all the city gates will be blocked, and it's useless to rush over now." ”

"What then?" Yao Hulu looked at the unfamiliar street, a little confused, "We can't go back to the inn again, presumably the inn has also been checked, and there is no one in this city to answer us, where should we go?" ”

"Don't worry, it's better to do this, I'll lead people to lead away the Huns." The lieutenant general of the division drove the convoy to a nearby alley, temporarily avoiding the search sight of the cavalry, and hurriedly decided, "Old gourd, General Chang and the princess will be handed over to you......"

"No!" Liu Ye opened the curtain and denied the method of the division's determination to raid, "We are outnumbered, and we are bound to be no match for them in the end, even if the division can distract their attention, it won't be able to parry for long." And we could not have escaped from the Huns in such a short time. Instead of risking your life, you should wait and see what happens. ”

"Yes, yes, Master, you can't be impulsive." Qing Ling jumped out of the carriage and grabbed Shizhong's hand to prevent him from taking risks, "We didn't plan to mobilize the army in the first place, if you kill it like this, we will give the Huns an excuse to offend Wusun!" ”

"That's exactly what I mean, Master, let's think about it in the long run!" Liu Ye also got out of the carriage and ordered his entourage to abandon the carriage and lead the horses through the alley away from those Hun cavalry.

"But......" Shizhong is unwilling to let Liu Ye and Chang Hui encounter danger again, "It's not a way to hide like this, they will find it sooner or later......"

"If you can delay for a while, the princess will think of a way." Qing Ling hugged Shizhong's arm tightly, lest he would not think of it and rush out, "This is the territory of the Huns, we can't fight hard, there will definitely be another way out." ”

Chang Hui lowered his head and blamed himself: "I'm really useless, not to mention being captured by the Huns, and even you are trapped here." ”

"Okay, what's the use of talking about this now, you're useless, everyone knows it, but even if it's for the sake of the little girl's face, you can't see death without help. Your life is not your own, you have to live for their mother and son. Besides, who is complaining about you again, we are all willing to save you, and you have to be responsible for protecting us. The medicine gourd deliberately said angry words to arouse Chang Hui's fighting spirit, "Right now, the princesses are all here for you, if you don't have the confidence to take us out of here, you will be a complete waste, it is better to die in prison, and we will save you in vain." ”

"Grandfather......" Qing Ling glanced at the medicine gourd, and said with disgust, "How can you count General Chang like this, he doesn't want to affect everyone, he is the most sad when this happens." ”

Shizhong led his horse through the alley, listening to them talking, and his heart was very disturbed, and he was in an unfamiliar street, and he did not know who could lend a helping hand. This feeling of isolation and helplessness made him feel helpless.

Liu Ye and the others walked far away, far away from the heavily guarded city gate, and the ordinary houses in the alleys were too small and conspicuous for them to ask for help. They could only keep walking until they saw the big mansion at the junction of the alleys.

This mansion looks relatively spacious, and has been carefully arranged, but at the same time does not look luxurious, it should not be a place where people in the Xiongnu court lived, but in the capital of the Xiongnu, there must be no slack. In case they broke into the residence of the Xiongnu minister, they were afraid that they would fall into the net.

Not only Liu Ye thought so, but everyone else also had this intention, at this kind of pass, he would rather hide in a filthy place than be coveted for a comfortable place to live. Otherwise, if they take the wrong step, they will pay a terrible price.

"I'm going to see what the hell this is." Chang Hui ignored the persuasion of others, strode to the main gate to take a look, and looked up to see the blurry lintel, on which were written a few beautiful Western Regions characters, and he read in the unenlightened Western Regions language, "Thousand, what, ten thousand, what...... This is a family of 10 million......"

"What millions?" Shi Zhong looked at him and said, "It turned out to be a thousand charming, General Chang, there are no 10,000 words, you are wrong." ”

"Charming? What the hell is this place, and how did you get this strange name? I've never seen anyone call a house like this. Chang Hui pushed down the closed door and wondered.

Shi Zhong thought for a moment: "Maybe it's the kind of filthy place where you can hide!" ”

"Filthy Lands?" Chang Hui suddenly realized, looked at Liu Ye and Qing Ling embarrassedly, and said in a low voice, "The Xiongnu also have this kind of place?" However, no one is there, and the door is closed! ”

"At night, it must be a different scene, but now that the Huns are defeated, this kind of place cannot be as ostentatious as before, and it is natural to be low-key." The teacher made a plan, returned to Liu Ye and Qingling, and discussed with them, "For the sake of convenience, please change into men's clothes, and we will spend the night here tonight." ”

"What is this place?" Qing Ling didn't know why, "It's understandable that we should change into men's clothes, but what should we do if such a conspicuous place is searched, and besides, the owner of this house may not be willing to take us in." ”

The eyes of the medicine gourd smiled like a crescent moon, and two blushes flew on his cheeks: "Ahem, someone will take in this kind of place if you give money, even if the officers and soldiers find it, they can be confused, and it is the most suitable for us to hide." It's just that, it's just that I've never been to this kind of place in my life, and I didn't expect to come to the Xiongnu for the first time to visit the kiln, which is really exciting......"

"You say, this kind of place is ......" Qing Ling was so angry that he couldn't speak, "How can this be reasonable, how can you let the princess live here, Master Shi, what's wrong with you and General Chang, what are you bothered about, there is no place to hide, and you can't move this kind of thought......"

"Ling'er, don't make a fuss, this is the safest place now, why do you have to pick and choose. People, you should adapt to wherever you want, the big husband can bend and stretch, he can afford to go to heaven and hell, what is this kind of filthy place? As long as you can pass this level, what is it to be temporarily wronged! The medicine gourd looked up at the mansion, and couldn't wait to go in and see what it was like.

"Princess, if you don't agree with it either, then we'll think about it again......," the division motioned to the elite soldiers to continue.

Liu Ye pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay, this is just an expedient measure, it's getting dark, and if you look for it, you may not be able to find a more suitable place, this is it!" ”

After changing into men's clothes in the alley, the house had been lit up, the sound of warblers and swallows came from the yard, and there were more men dressed in gorgeous clothes on the street.

Qing Ling reluctantly followed Liu Ye and the others over, and complained in a low voice: "The Huns deserve to be defeated, it's time for this, and they are still in the mood to drink flower wine." ”

Qingling's complaints were ignored, and after the vivid disguise of the medicine gourd, at first glance, everyone became like the Huns. The accompanying elite soldiers were shocked again, and asked Shizhong with the courage: "Master Shi, since this senior can even change his appearance, why didn't he give us a disguise before, so as to deceive those Hun cavalry!" ”

Shi Zhong shook his head and said: "Because this kind of disguise technique can only last for half an hour, and it can only be concealed from ordinary people, those who are familiar with the disguise technique can see through it at a glance, we can't joke with everyone's lives." ”

"I see, it's only half an hour, then we can't drink after we go in for a while, just find a place to stay and rest as soon as possible." One of the elite soldiers said in a matter-of-fact manner.

"I'll go, you still want to drink flower wine? Be careful, if you can't even fool those smiling women, we'll assume we don't know you. Another soldier said dismissively.

"Alright, everyone must be careful, let's go!" Shi Zhong looked at everyone's costumes, nodded with satisfaction, and admonished, "Remember, after half an hour, the disguise technique will lose its effectiveness." ”

Everyone nodded one after another, Shi Zhong and Chang Hui took the brunt and strode towards the charming mansion, the medicine gourd was curious and fresh, followed behind them, giggling embarrassedly. Those elite soldiers also wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so they walked a few steps and stopped, waiting for Liu Ye and Qing Ling to follow.

Liu Ye and Qing Ling looked at each other's faces, feeling strange and weird, Qing Ling was uncomfortable, and stretched his face so angry that he breathed fire: "Princess, look at these men, whether they are old or young, they can't rush in and drink flower wine immediately." Look, how laid-back Master Shi and General Chang are, they must have come to this kind of place often before, are there more places for you to drink flower wine in Chang'an City? ”

Without waiting for Liu Ye to respond, Qing Ling continued to count: "And my uncompetitive grandfather, he always says that he is not interested in women, and he is most afraid of being entangled with women in his life, I see that he would like to die drunk in the gentle township." It's outrageous, at such an age, he is still as excited as a young man, look, he's still blushing, my God, he still blushes me? ”

"Besides, these elite soldiers, I'm afraid they don't know what their surnames are, and they are drilling into them one by one, where can they take care of us, and they have already sent you, Queen Wusun, out of the clouds. When you return, you must deal with them martial, and now you must remember their virtues......"

Liu Ye laughingly persuaded: "Qingling, don't be angry, we are making a show, I assure you, I don't know if General Chang has been to this kind of place before, but Master Shi has definitely never been." “

"Really?" Qing Ling was skeptical.

"It's true, there were countless beauties in Yuefu in the past, and Master Shi didn't even look at it, so how could he care about these vulgar fans." Liu Ye saw that Qing Ling's anger gradually eased, and said, "Besides, even the beauties in Yuefu can't compare to your refined beauty, how can Master Shi have distracting thoughts!" ”

Qing Ling smiled shyly: "Let the princess see the smile, I, I'm just talking casually." ”

As the fun-seeking sons and brothers enter the charming courtyard, the slightly messy courtyard can still see the prosperous scene of the past, the center of the courtyard is a two-story building, there is a hot spring in the northeast corner, and the surrounding are low tile houses.

This place looks a little familiar, and before Liu Ye and the others had time to think about it, they were greeted into the small building by several women who were greeted by the fragrance.

The Hun woman with a plump body in tulle clinged to them like a snake, and Liu Ye and Qing Ling both felt very uncomfortable, and they were about to choke on the smell of inferior fat powder. While Qing Ling stopped their restless hands, he also had to stare at Shizhong with wide eyes, eager to cut the women lying on Shizhong's body in two.

Shizhong was stared at by Qing Ling and sweated on his back, and pushed away the enthusiastic woman without a trace, and raised a glass with Chang Hui with a calm expression. Chang Hui was also a fierce Hun after his appearance, as long as he put down his face, no woman would dare to eat his tofu. Yao Hulu tried to dress himself younger, but the women were still not interested in him, except for a woman who seemed to be very old and approached him, and the young women abandoned him.

Several elite soldiers were surrounded by women, only to feel that they couldn't move, they followed the example of Shizhong and Chang Hui, and poured wine into their stomachs one by one to divert their attention.

At this time, a beautiful woman dressed in gold and silver stepped onto the stage opposite the wine table, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the love of all the masters, I can open the door to do business as usual......

Before the words fell, bursts of cheers rang out from the audience, and the woman leaned back with a smile: "Okay, okay, I won't be verbose, please enjoy the dance of the peony fairy!" ”

Peony fairy? This name has a bit of the charm of a big man, and Liu Ye can't help but be a little curious about the graceful woman on the stage.
