Chapter 223: Trapped in the City
Hearing the news, Zhang Wu and Jiang Yanxiang were both startled, but Dou Yifang was still very calm. Zhang Wu hurriedly asked Xi'er to take Dou Yifang and duckweed to take refuge, and went out to greet him.
Xi'er wanted to take Dou Yifang and duckweed to the backyard, but Dou Yifang wanted to hide behind the curtain in the living room, not for anything else, just to take a look at Liu Heng.
Duckweed felt that it was too dangerous, but she didn't listen to any persuasion, and at this time, Liu Heng walked in again. The duckweed can only close its mouth and hide it with Dou Yifang!!
Also arriving with Liu Heng was Song Chang, who came to celebrate Zhang Wuxi's noble son. At first, Zhang Wu thought that Liu Heng came because he knew that Dou Yifang was here, but now he can finally rest assured.
"Male or female?"
"Thanks to the king, it's a boy."
"Haha, I'm overjoyed, this king didn't come in vain tonight! Song Qing, you guessed accurately. ”
"It's just a fluke......
Liu Heng and Song Chang talked and laughed, but Zhang Wu could only laugh with him, and he was only worried about Dou Yifang in his heart.
Since it is a happy event, of course, it is indispensable to have a happy wine. Liu Heng has been very uncomfortable in the palace recently, and tonight is not so much to congratulate Zhang Wuxi on his noble son, but to come out to breathe and relax.
"Can I let the king see the child?"
Zhang Wu nodded, and asked the nurse to take out the baby, and Liu Heng saw that he was good-looking, so he gave him a name.
"Let's call Zhang Changrong!! As the saying goes, 'knowing the ever-tolerant, tolerant is the public, the public is the whole, the whole is the sky, the sky is the way, the road is long, and the body is not destroyed.' May this son have a safe life. ”
"King Xie!" After Zhang Wu thanked him, he immediately ordered someone to prepare wine and food.
The nurse took the child back, and before the wine and food came up, Liu Heng and Song Chang took a stroll around the mansion and asked Zhang Wu to talk to his lady for a while.
Zhang Wu entered the inner room, Jiang Yanxiang asked where Dou Yifang was, and before the words fell, Dou Yifang walked in. She came to say goodbye, "I'll come to see you again when I have a chance!" ”
"But how are you going to get back?"
It was getting late, and Jiang Yanxiang was really relieved.
"I can order my wife to be taken out of the city." Zhang Wudao.
"That's fine!!"
Zhang Wu found a general and ordered someone to prepare a carriage to escort Dou Yifang out of the back door. After the carriage left Zhang's mansion, Dou Yifang looked out the window and fell into deep thought.
Her mind was full of Liu Heng, don't look at Liu Heng talking and laughing with Zhang Wuyou just now, but Dou Yifang could see that he was preoccupied. As the king of a country, there are some things that cannot be confided in the courtiers.
……
Feng Mansion.
In the living room, the wine glass that Feng Luyang brought to his lips suddenly stopped, and he asked in disbelief, "What did you say?" ”
Niu Mang nodded and said what he had just said again: "Some people said that they saw Mrs. Dou enter the city. ”
Feng Luyang pondered for a moment, drank the wine in the cup, and said to Niu Mang: "Strengthen the interrogation of people entering the city......
"This ......"
"Don't go yet!"
"Let's go."
After Niu Mang finished speaking, he immediately turned around and walked out of the living room.
Feng Luyang was still not at ease, and ordered Feng Yuan to take the courtyard in the house to patrol outside. focused on patrolling Zhang Wu's area, because he thought that Dou Yifang was very likely to go to Zhang Wu when he entered the city.
Besides, Feng Luyang asked people to prepare a car, and he wanted to go to Meiziwu in person to see if Dou Yifang was there. If not, then it's a sin.
Thinking of this, he showed a sly and smug smile.
When Feng Yuan led the men and horses to Zhang's mansion, they happened to meet the carriage that Dou Yifang was riding. He didn't know that Dou Yifang was in the carriage, but he paid close attention to the carriage.
He watched the horse pass by the carriage and saw Dou Yi's room looking out the window. But he wasn't sure the person he saw was the person he was looking for.
When the carriage had gone a little farther, he suddenly came to his senses, and ordered him to turn around and follow the carriage.
Dou Yifang kept looking out the window, naturally she also saw Feng Yuan, she didn't know Feng Yuan, but she only felt that the person's eyes were a little weird when he looked at her just now.
Don't......
There was also a small window at the back of the carriage, and Dou Yifang lifted the curtain and looked back, and more than a dozen horses followed in his field of vision.
Oops......
Duckweed also saw it, and said what she was thinking, "Madam, those people have been following us...... Did they find out about our entry into the city? ”
Dou Yifang's face was solemn, allowing duckweed to confirm his thoughts.
"Madame, what shall we do?" She asked worriedly.
Dou Yifang quickly thought about countermeasures, if they were really discovered, then the city gate must have strengthened the investigation, so that they would be arrested when they went out of the city now.
Therefore, Dou Yifang asked Wang Tong, who was driving, not to go out of the city, and to find a way to get rid of the people who were following behind.
The king's commander stepped up his horseback and quickened his speed. But it was impossible to use the carriage to get rid of the light horse, so he thought of a place - Sun Yan's casino.
The carriage drove through the dark streets where no one was around, followed by a dozen horses. Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the casino.
"Ma'am, please get out of the car." The king ruled.
Dou Yifang and duckweed got out of the carriage and followed Wang to the casino. There were two sentry men standing at the door of the casino, and they knew the king, so they let them in.
Feng Yuan also came to the door of the casino, but he and his people were stopped......
"You are not allowed to enter here, get out of here!" One of the thugs said unceremoniously.
Feng Yuan got off the horse, took out a silver ingot from his arms, and handed it to the gangster.
The thug's eyes lit up, and he looked at his companion, only to see him nod. He took the money and let Feng Yuan and the others in.
Feng Yuan was afraid that he would lose Dou Yi's room, so he immediately rushed in with someone.
Their sudden arrival aroused the vigilance and attention of everyone in the casino, and in an instant, one after another eyes shot like arrows, making Feng Yuan and the others panic.
"What do you want to do?" The head of the spectator came up and asked.
"Find someone." Feng Yuan replied.
"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? ”
"One woman, no, two women."
"There's no one you're looking for here, get out of here!"
"Do you know who I am?"
The head of the spectator put Feng Yuan up and down a lot, his eyes were full of disdain, "I don't care who you are, if you don't get out, Lao Tzu will let you climb out!" ”
Feng Yuan raised his voice and said majestically: "You have a private casino, I can find someone to serve it here at any time, you better be polite to me!" ”
The head of the spectator smiled contemptuously, "It turned out to be from the official family...... It's disrespectful. Lao Tzu hates you people the most in his life, brothers, blast them out! ”
Feng Yuanyuan saw that the situation was not good, but he was not afraid, he was closest to the head of the spectators, so he decided to strike first and take the lead. They are well-trained government soldiers, so naturally they don't take these gangsters seriously.
Sure enough, everything went as he wanted, although they were few, they were not at a disadvantage, but gradually evolved into an advantage.
But at this moment, two Feng family's soldiers were suddenly thrown out. When Feng Yuan looked over, he saw a very powerful character among the gamblers.
The gamblers quickly regained the initiative.
Although Feng Yuan has some skills, he also knows that he is not the opponent of the drum. For the sake of now, he could only go and ask for reinforcements, so he ordered a retreat.
The slower runners, the bushman helped them, kicking them out one by one. Feng Yuan and the others got on their horses in a panic and fled.
Dou Yifang met Sun Yi and thanked him for saving his life.
Sun Yan said: "Madame doesn't have to be polite, Dou Ying is our brother, and we should do these things......"
The bushman also came to Dou Yifang's side and said, "Madam, let's go, those people should come again in a while......"
Dou Yifang and duckweed got into the carriage again, and suddenly heard her say: "It's broken! ”
Duckweed hurriedly asked what was wrong, and Dou Yifang said, "If they go to Meiziwu, it will be bad!" ”
The top priority is to get out of the city as soon as possible and return to Meiziwu, but if the city gate is checked, how will they get out?
"Madam, don't worry, everything is in order...... Sun Yan said.
Feng Luyang wanted to block all the city gates, but in fact he couldn't do this.
Although it is possible to ask the acquaintances left by Han Kuang to control the city gate, the current lieutenant is Song Chang. Song Chang was highly disciplined, and abuse of power had been improved.
Therefore, it was not difficult for Dou Yifang to get out of the city, and Sun Yan's bribery of the city gate guards allowed Dou Yifang to go out from the side gate relatively smoothly.
After leaving the city gate, the carriage rushed in the direction of Meiziwu.
Niu Mang got the news, because he didn't dare to move troops without authorization, so he could only immediately notify the soldiers of the Feng Mansion who were waiting outside the city gate.
They were specially sent by Feng Luyang to ambush and wait outside the city in order to prevent Dou Yifang from leaving. When they got the news, they got on their horses and quickly chased after them.
Because of the scruples of Dou Yifang's pregnancy, Wang Commander didn't dare to drive too fast, and soon, the chasing soldiers appeared behind him. In a few moments, the pursuers caught up with the carriage and formed an encirclement.
"Stop! I'll tell you to stop the carriage! The commander of the pursuers drew his sword and pointed at the king and threatened.
The king had no choice but to stop the carriage and asked, "Who are you?" ”
No one answered, and the men went straight to the carriage and opened the door, but it was empty.
"Fooled!" The commander of the chasing army cursed twice, and immediately led people to search nearby.
Commander Wang sneered twice as he saw them leave.
However, it was said that after Dou Yifang took the carriage led by the king out of the city, he got off the car with duckweed in the shadows. They were not going to take a carriage back to Meiziwu, but to take Deng Tong's boat.
When they came to the riverbank to join Deng Tong, the pursuers did not arrive.
The boat left the river and went down the river, and it was only then that duckweed saw people walking near the riverside.
"Finally got rid of them...... duckweed breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother boat, I didn't expect you to really wait for us, thank you this time......"
Deng Tong smiled happily, and he was happy to be able to help them, even though he didn't know why.
Dou Yifang hasn't been able to relax yet, now she is worried about the situation on the Meiziwu side, if something happens to the Meiziwu side, she hopes that Danhe and Lanyi can hold out until they come back.
In front of the Plum Dock Gate.
"Lord Feng, what kind of wind blew you here?" Peng Yuan, who was in charge of guarding Meiziwu, asked.
"General Peng, Feng has a puzzle about something, and I hope the general will advise." Feng Luyang said politely.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, please speak." Peng Yuan said with a smile.
