Chapter 20 Fleeing the Road

"Prepare the horses. Gongsun Shenghua walked to the stable and shouted at the stable.

Seeing that he was spewing wine and his eyes were wide open, he almost rushed up and slapped himself, so he didn't dare to say a word, so he took a horse and handed the reins to Gongsun Shenghua.

Gongsun Shenghua led the horse out of the gate, kept walking to the right along the root of the wall, walked nearly 100 zhang, he clearly knew that the opposite side of the wall was the room where Gongsun Shengyan was held, so he stopped, tied the reins to a tree on the side of the road, touched the horse's mane with his hand, straightened the saddle, and then returned on foot.

He first returned to the firewood room, lightly moved a bamboo ladder, pushed open the door and looked around, it was already time to sleep, even though the Gongsun family had changed so much recently, when it was time to sleep, most people still couldn't stay up. Gongsun Shenghua found a hidden place, moved the ladder to the opposite side of the wall where the horses were put just now, shook the ladder slightly with his hand, and then stepped on it with one foot and tried it, after confirming that it was stable, he went around to the main entrance from the back of the house, and asked the two guards at the door who were guarding Gongsun Shengyan: "Gongsun Shengyan has had dinner?"

The family looked at each other and looked at each other, and no one really said that they would bring him food.

"Then he drank water?" Gongsun Shenghua continued to ask.

The family didn't dare to answer, no matter what, Gongsun Shengyan is still their master now, and it is unreasonable to treat the master like this.

"A descendant who doesn't know the number of courtesies. Gongsun Shenghua snorted, rounded his arm and threw it with a big mouth, hitting the other party with a golden star.

"Get over there and get food and water. Gongsun Shenghua pointed to the two family members, the one who had been slapped had a pain on his face, his ears were buzzing, and he wanted to find a reason to leave, so as not to be beaten again, and the other saw that his partner was gone, opened his mouth to say something, hesitated, and hurriedly trotted all the way to the kitchen.

Gongsun Shenghua didn't delay, and hurriedly opened the door, Gongsun Shengyan was still tied up and thrown on the bed at the moment, and a piece of cloth was actually stuffed in his mouth.

"Shengyan," Gongsun Shenghua kept talking while untying him, "You hurry up, if you don't leave, you won't have a chance." ”

"I'm not leaving. As soon as the cloth in Gongsun Shengyan's mouth was removed, he immediately expressed his reluctance to leave.

"If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave, they will send you to see the official tomorrow. Gongsun Shenghua was so anxious that he almost jumped up.

"Why did you send me to see an official, why did you tie me up and lock me up?" Gongsun Shengyan felt aggrieved, he was arrested as soon as he returned home, and he was charged with a trumped-up crime in front of everyone, and he didn't even have a chance to explain carefully.

"My grandfather died under your bed, who will see the official if you don't see the official?" Gongsun Shenghua completely untied the rope, shook Gongsun Shengyan's shoulder and said, "Let's go, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood." If you meet the official, if you make a move, won't you be able to say it clearly. ”

"Shenghua!" Gongsun Shengyan was full of grief and indignation, and he didn't know where to go to reason.

"Let's go!" he pulled Gongsun Shengyan out, Gongsun Shengyan had no better choice but to go out, and then as if he had figured out something, his feet became faster and faster, and he trotted all the way.

"Up. When he got to the front of the ladder, he pushed Gongsun Shengyan, and then took out a few silver tickets from his clothes, "Take the flowers, there are horses on the other side of the wall, run as far as you want." ”

Gongsun Shengyan glanced at his cousin, stretched out his hand to take the silver ticket, climbed the wall slowly, and then turned back and beckoned to Gongsun Shenghua, then jumped down with all his might, and then the sound of horses' hooves from near and far came into the wall, and gradually disappeared into the night.

In the dark, Gongsun Shengqiu had been hiding behind a rockery and watching, and when he saw Gongsun Shengyan jumping off the wall and running away, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He tiptoed back to his room quickly, without a palm lamp, and took out a flat bone piece of the kind used by Xu Laoliu from the drawer from memory, found an incense burner and inserted the bone piece in the northwest direction, and lit the short incense stick that was put together with the bone piece. Like the incense used by Xu Laoliu, the smoke that came out rose straight up for a short distance, and then flew diagonally out of the window at an abnormal angle. At the same time, outside the latched door, a family member patted his door anxiously and panickedly, and said loudly: "Young Master Shengqiu, Young Master Shengyan has run away!"

"Chase!" Gongsun Shengqiu sat in the dark room, spat out the word heavily, and shook his head again and laughed. Outside the house, the sound of people was boiling, Gongsun's house was like a pot of porridge, and there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the wall, and the people on horseback were afraid of delaying time, and they "drove" each other loudly, and after a while, they disappeared into the distance.

When the time had passed, the guards at the city gate were tired and wanted to hurry to get home and sleep in the fluffy bed. A good man is not a soldier, a good iron is not a nail, not to mention that this matter of guarding the door is really not a good errand. One of the guards yawned seven or eight times in a row, which caused a lot of disagreement among the people around him, who accused him of not doing good deeds, and made everyone sleepy.

"Wang San," one of the guards said to the guard who had been yawning just now, "you can't stay up all night at such a young age, have you come home and worked in bed with your little daughter-in-law?"

Everyone listened to a burst of laughter, men are together, and meat jokes are seasonings that will never go out of style.

"What's the matter, Master Bing, I am strong and strong, I can afford to toss, look at your body, Master Bing, I can collapse you from here to ...... with a fart" Before the cowhide of the guard named Wang San was blown, he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from far and near, followed by a neighing of rejecting the horse, and a handsome but tired young man stopped in front of them on a horse, and the horse's wide nostrils fluttered out, obviously running with all his strength just now.

"Open the door. The young man on the horse ordered the unfamiliar guards in front of him in a non-negotiable tone.

"You said open the door, open the door, do you want to ask the soldier about the gun in his hand?" Wang San was interrupted, and he was a little upset when he was talking.

"Lao Tzu is the fourth young master of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Shengyan, give you another chance, open the door, Lao Tzu is in a hurry to go out of the city to do errands! Gongsun Shengyan was anxious in his heart, and the dirty words blurted out, which also increased the weight of these words.

The guards stopped talking, the name of the Gongsun family, no one dared to offend here, the people on the horse looked at their clothes and temperament, they were obviously rich and noble, and even the horse under the crotch was fat and strong, and it was not something that could be raised by just gnawing a few mouthfuls of grass on the side of the road.

At this time, a leader who seemed to be older stood up, turned to the guards and shouted, "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and open the door for Young Master Gongsun." The guards woke up like a dream, opened the city gate with all hands and feet, and the leader respectfully took the reins of the horse and said, "Young Master Gongsun, please." ”

"Drive, ......drive" Gongsun Shengyan didn't answer, but just clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the short whip in his hand hit the horse's buttocks a few times, the horse's back hurt, and he rushed out of the city like an arrow from the string.

The guards scolded and closed the city gate again, and Wang San, who had just spoken, looked at the direction of Gongsun Shengyan's departure, pouted a few teeth in his mouth, and said with envy and mockery: "It's amazing to be rich." After that, he said to the person who provoked him just now, "Master Bing, I can collapse you from here to ...... with a fart."

A chaotic sound of horses' hooves pushed Wang San's words back, this time it was three people and three horses, and the leader took the lead in holding the horses and asked them loudly: "Did a young man ride out of the city from here just now?"

"Who are you?" The leader looked at this person's clothes that were not as good as Gongsun Shengyan just now, and the momentum of his reply was much stronger than just now.

"I am the housekeeper of the Gongsun family, and it was the young master of our Gongsun family, Gongsun Shengyan, who went out of the city just now, and his horse was faster than us, so it was a little bit behind. Please also ask my brother to open the door conveniently, otherwise if there is something wrong with our young master, this responsibility will not be bearable. "The leader speaks both softly and gracefully.

"Open the door, open the door, open the door. The leader waved his hand impatiently at the guards again, it was Gongsun's family again, and it was not easy to think about in the middle of the night.

The gate of the city was opened by the guards who were trapped in a daze, and the three people on the horse were not polite, and when they saw that the door was opened, they slapped their horses out, and Wang San by the door could not dodge, and ate a mouthful of dust.

"I'm bah, I'm bah. Wang San spat the mud in his mouth, closed the city gate angrily, and stood in the line again.

"Wang San, where are you going to fart and collapse me?" The provocative person saw that he was not angry, and proudly stimulated him.

"Love is broken, I don't want to see you, soldier. Wang San lost the interest in bragging, and said with a drooping face.

"Hahaha......" The crowd was amused and burst out laughing.

The three people who pursued Gongsun Shengyan rode horses and tried their best to catch up, and they couldn't chase after them when they reached the foot of the mountain outside the city. In front of them was a crossroads, one road leading to Luoma Mountain, another road to the northwest official road, and another road to the waterway due east, and Gongsun Shengyan could go in either direction. The leader strangled the horse under his crotch, motioned to the other two not to speak, pricked up his ears and listened for a moment, then dismounted and leaned down on the ground to listen, but still did not hear anything, so he had to turn around and spread his hands against the other two, and then turned over and got on the horse again. The horse was reined in, took a few steps back, then snapped its nose twice in succession, and turned and ran toward the city.
