Chapter 129: Escape
Just in the evening, when Tang Jian and the others were panicking, a burst of shouting and killing came from a distance, and then the Turkic woman came again, and said in a panic: "Tang Jun is here, my man, remember my name, my name is Ayan Naduo, the beautiful flower on the grassland, now I will send you away, you should leave quickly while there is chaos!" Remember, run fast! ”
Tang Jian and Liu Fan looked at each other, they couldn't imagine that such a woman would choose to save everyone's lives at this time, the woman went out for a while, pulled over three horses, and anxiously urged Liu Fan and others to get on the horse quickly, Tang Jian didn't think about it, and got on the horse directly, Liu Fan looked at the woman and said, "Come with me!" ”
"My man, you have chosen to live and die with your friends, and now how can I abandon my people? I'm the daughter of the savannah, and even if I die, I deserve to die here! Let's go, my man, even though you have never been my man, but in my mind, I know from the first time I saw you, I will never forget you in this life! ”
Liu Fan was about to speak, but Tang Jian said angrily: "Hurry up!" Late will change! ”
The three of them got on their horses and galloped away at night at once.
The shouting and killing on the road were endless, no one knew that it was the Tang Army and that was the Turkic soldier, Tang Jian and the three of them braved the heavy snow and ran forward, and when the sky was getting brighter, Tang Jian stopped, the horses were panting, Tang Jian dismounted and said: "Take a break, the horse is about to be unable to hold on!" ”
Liu Fan climbed off the horse at this time, and he vomited as soon as he could, the bumps along the way made Liu Fan, who had ridden so far for the first time, already overwhelmed, Wang Xuance's face was not good, at this time he looked behind him worriedly, Tang Jian looked around for a week and said: "We need to determine the location of Chang'an as soon as possible, otherwise, we will be killed by the wolves on the grassland if we are not killed by the Turks!" ”
Liu Fan's spirit was a little confused at the moment, and it was difficult to concentrate if he wanted to distinguish the direction, Wang Xuance had learned how to distinguish the direction in school, and he forced his body to wait until the sun came out completely, and immediately pointed to the south: "Chang'an City is in that direction!" ”
Tang Jian made a note of the location, and after kicking the snow out of a large area with his feet, he let the horses nibble on the grass buried in the snow.
After resting for a while, Tang Jian got on the horse and said, "Go!" ”
Liu Fan cheered up and hurried forward together.
I ran like this for three or four days, when I was hungry, I set traps to catch some hares and the like to deal with it, and when I was thirsty, I directly grabbed the snow on the ground and ate it.
Just when everyone couldn't hold on, they saw that there was a horse team driving slowly in front of them, and everyone didn't dare to step forward, Wang Xuance said: "There is still a glimmer of life in the past, if we don't go over, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to hold on to Chang'an City!" ”
Tang Jian's spirit was a little dazed at the moment, and Liu Fan immediately said: "Go over and ask, let's pretend to be a businessman!" ”
Wang Xuance was in better spirits, and immediately drove forward, and after a while, he ran over excitedly and said: "Hahaha, the sky will not die, we are waiting, it is the army of the Tang people, and the leader is the Turkic chief Kang Sumi!" ”
Liu Fan was inexplicable when he heard it, but Tang Jian was uplifted and said: "Looking for them in the past, Kang Sumi is a person close to the Tang Dynasty, and he has long been attached to them!" ”
After the three of them passed, they were warmly welcomed by Kang Sumi, who first ate a bowl of steaming boiled mutton and drank a bowl of hot barley wine, and the three of them felt alive again, and then fell asleep on the carriage.
I don't know how long I slept, when Liu Fan opened his eyes, he found that in addition to Tang Jian, Wang Xuance had already left the car, and after walking out, he saw Wang Xuance chatting with Kang Sumi.
Liu Fan greeted him, and Wang Xuance came over and said excitedly: "Brother Fan, do you know who he took to Chang'an City?" ”
Liu Fan said: "With whom?" ”
Wang Xuance said in a mysterious whisper: "Empress Xiao! ”
Liu Fan was stunned for a moment, and then said in disbelief: "Empress Xiao of the former dynasty? ”
"Not only Empress Xiao, but also the prince of the previous dynasty!" Wang Xuance said excitedly.
Liu Fan said with a tight expression: "Is Empress Xiao safe?" ”
Wang Xuance nodded and said, "Then Kang Sumi knows that Empress Xiao is of great significance, and she has eaten and drunk all the way, so she hopes to get the reward she deserves when she arrives in Chang'an City!" ”
Liu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, Tang Jian wanted to find the whereabouts of Empress Xiao before, but he didn't expect to be placed under house arrest after arriving in the Turks, how could he have any chance to find Empress Xiao, and when he heard that Empress Xiao was in the accompanying horse team, he also sincerely felt that God had finally given a big gift, and he did not let everyone down.
When Tang Jian woke up, Liu Fan told the news again, and Tang Jian immediately summoned Kang Sumi, after all, in terms of official position, the status of a Turkic chief is actually not as high as Tang Jian's status, after knowing what Kang Sumi did, Tang Jian immediately tidied up his clothes and took Liu Fan and Wang Xuance to see the last queen of the Sui Dynasty.
Empress Xiao is now like a woman, the wind and frost are all over her cheeks, there is no luxury in the past, there is a trace of indifference and sadness, after seeing Tang Jian, she said: "Tang Gong, farewell to the years, when I see Tang Gong again, I have become a prisoner, and Tang Gong is still the same demeanor as it was back then!" ”
Tang Jian said: "See Queen Xiao, I still remember the first time I saw you, your demeanor was so eye-catching, when I saw you again, to be honest, I didn't have much pride in my heart, but more emotion!" ”
Empress Xiao saw that Tang Jian was not here to fall into the well, so she also breathed a sigh of relief, and after the two of them pulled for a while, Empress Xiao said: "I am about to arrive in Chang'an, and now life and death are unpredictable, I just hope that His Majesty the Tang Dynasty can remember the past and let us orphans and widows go!" ”
The future of Empress Xiao is not something that Tang Jian can decide, and at this moment, when she heard that Empress Xiao said pitiful, she still said: "Now Your Majesty has a broad mind that ordinary people can unimagine, as long as you take out what you should take out, presumably Your Majesty will also let the two of you have no worries about food and clothing from now on!" ”
Empress Xiao was silent for a moment and then said, "I have always carried the jade seal of the country!" ”
After speaking, he took out a clay pot from his arms, which obviously said the paper of Yang Guangzhi's clothes and mound of the Sui Dynasty, Empress Xiao lifted it up and smashed it on the carriage, and suddenly the jar shattered, revealing something wrapped in golden cloth, Empress Xiao picked it up and said: "This is what Li Shimin has always wanted, I will give it to Tang Gong today, and I hope that Tang Gong will say a few more good words, the old body is old, my child, you see, it is extremely weak, how can there be an emperor, I only hope that Li Shimin can let us orphans and widows!" ”
After Tang Jian trembled and took the jade seal of the country, he bowed to the ground and said: "The old minister must ask for his life!" ”
