Text Chapter 8 Out of the Palace
"Your Majesty. Yang Xing came to the imperial study and bowed.
Luo Haoran was relieved of the book in his hand and said, "Yang Qing is exempt." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”
Then Yang Xing got up and looked at Luo Haoran in front of him and asked, "I don't know if Your Majesty summoned the ministers to come here, what do you have to order." ”
"I am leaving the palace tomorrow, and I need you to accompany me out of the palace. Luo Haoran got up and walked out.
"Your Majesty is going out of the palace again! What do you need your ministers to prepare this time?" Yang Xing asked with a habitual look.
"Pick two horses and wait for me outside the palace gate tomorrow morning. You go down first!" Luo Haoran instructed Yang Xing.
"Yes!" the minister retired first. Saying that, Yang Xing retreated under Luo Haoran's signal.
The next day, Yang Xing changed into his usual clothes early, led two horses and swords to wait for Luo Haoran outside the palace gate.
After waiting for a while, Luo Haoran came to the palace gate outside the palace gate dressed in white clothes and holding a fan in his hand.
"Why didn't the emperor bring a sword this time, only a fan. Yang Xing asked Luo Haoran with a puzzled expression.
Luo Haoran looked at Yang Xing, who was full of doubts, and said: "I went to Weifu for a private visit this time to experience the life of the people, not to walk the rivers and lakes." ”
Then he instructed Yang Xing: "This time, you have to remember that from now on, you must call me Gongzi, and there is no need to bow down, and don't say obey orders, just say yes, so as not to arouse suspicion." ”
"Subordinates obey!"
Luo Haoran immediately glared at Yang Xing.
Yang Xing seemed to remember something and said, "Yes! So where do we go now?"
Luo Haoran got on the horse and said, "Let's go to Qingzhou first! ”
After a while, Luo Haoran and Yang Xing left the capital and rushed to Qingzhou.
"If the sea is really wide, the fish can leap into the sky, and the birds can fly, the palace and the palace are different worlds!" Luo Haoran sighed while driving the horse.
As they walked, Luo Haoran and Yang Xing came to the edge of a lake, and there was an old man fishing there on the shore.
"Yang Xing dismounts and rests, let the horse drink saliva. Luo Haoran stopped and said to Yang Xing.
"Yes, Childe. Then Yang Xing led the horse to the lake and let the horse drink.
I saw that the old man pulled up a fish with his fishing rod, took the fish and put it in the basket, and then the hook with no bait still entered the water.
Luo Haoran saw that he was curious, so he asked the old man: "The old man doesn't hang the bait, how can he get the fish." ”
The old man smiled and said, "The old man is not fishing, he is only here for fishing." ”
Luo Haoran asked puzzledly: "What is the heart of the old man?"
I saw that I closed my eyes and said, "Meditation!"
Luo Haoran thought for a long time and still couldn't understand it, so he asked the old man for advice: "Do you still hope that the old man will solve his confusion?"
The old man then opened his eyes, looked at the surface of the lake and said, "Those who meditate on everything and everything are clear, and the heavens and the earth are clear." ”
Then the old man picked up the rod again, and saw a fish on it. The old man took it off and put it into the fish frame, put away the fishing rod and basket and slowly left.
Luo Haoran thought for a while, looked at the old man's back and said to himself: "Those who are popular with the people, the people are smooth, the officials are smooth, and the world is smooth." ”
Looking at the back of the old man gradually moving away, Luo Haoran bowed deeply to show respect.
The old man in front of him looked at the sky and smiled slightly, with a hint of expectation.
"Childe, the horse has been drunk, let's continue to hurry! The hour is not early, and if we don't hurry, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Qingzhou after dark." ”
"Well, let's go!" Luo Haoran said casually.
"Sages are hard to come by!" Luo Haoran sighed as he looked in that direction.
Yang Xing looked unclear, and thought in his heart: "What is the emperor sighing about?" ”
Then Luo Haoran and Yang Xing came to a tea shed again.
"Do the two guest officers drink herbal tea? The teashed Xiaoer hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Childe, drink a cup of herbal tea, eat something, and then hurry. Yang Xing swallowed his throat and said to Luo Haoran.
Luo Haoran paused: "It's okay, get off the horse!"
After getting off the horse tea shed, Xiao Er bolted the horse, and then Luo Haoran and Yang Xing found a vacant seat to sit down.
Yang Xing raised his hand and shouted, "Xiao Er, come with two cups of herbal tea and four steamed buns." ”
"Okay!"
"Guest, this is the herbal tea and buns you wanted. "The little two people in the tea shed came over with tea and buns.
Then Xiao Er asked again: "The two of you are going to Qingzhou!"
"Yes, my son-in-law and I are heading to Qingzhou. Yang Xing replied casually.
"Those two guest officers should pay attention, a group of people who don't know where they came from recently, entrenched in the grassy slopes and forests on the road of Qingzhou not far ahead, everyone who passes by there must pay the toll, if they don't pay, they won't be able to leave; Xiao Er kindly instructed Luo Haoran and Yang Xing.
This asked, Luo Haoran said, "Thank you for the reminder!"
Then he asked, "I wonder how many of them there are?"
Xiao Er pondered: "I heard that there are about one or twenty of them! all of them are good at martial arts, especially their boss's martial arts." ”
"In broad daylight, isn't the government just asking?" asked Yang Xing a little unpleasantly this time.
"Alas, this place is remote, the mountains are far away, and it has only recently appeared, so the government has time to manage it. Xiao Er just sighed when he heard Yang Xing's question.
"I advise the two guests not to mess with them. Xiao'er didn't know how to persuade Yang Xing's saber when he saw it.
"Little Er, let's have three buns. ”
"Hey, come on!" Then Xiao Er went to get busy.
"Childe, this group of people is too lawless, they dare to block the road and rob. Yang Xing said angrily.
"Eat well! I'll check it out later. Luo Haoran replied calmly.
"Yes!
I saw Yang Xing's rude eating appearance.
"Xiao Er checks out!" Yang Xing said after a while.
"It's a total of three cents, guest officer. ”
"The two guest officers go slowly!" Xiao Er took the money and said to Luo Haoran and Yang Xing, who were leaving.
Then Luo Haoran and Yang Xing stepped on their horses and left.
After about a quarter of an hour, the two of them came to the grassy slope forest.
"Stop! Oh yes! There's a little white face, this looks handsome like a girl, and the brothers say no. One of the men with a large knife in his hand said.
"Yes!ha~" The others laughed.
And Luo Haoran asked calmly: "I don't know what a few people stopped me and the two of us?"
"Yo, brothers, see he's still pretending to be stupid there. The one with the big knife sneered at the others.
"Ha~ha~" followed by a burst of laughter.
Then he said to Luo Haoran: "If you want to pass from here, you must leave fifty taels of silver, otherwise..."
Seeing that Luo Haoran and the others were dressed like rich people, they slapped the knife while talking.
"There is no silver. But if you forsake evil and turn to good now, I can spare you. Luo Haoran said with a smile.
"Toast without eating and drinking, and the brothers give him the color to see. The man with the broadsword said angrily.
"Yes, boss. ”
"Childe, you stand back, just hand over a few thieves to me. Yang Xing stepped forward and said.
Luo Haoran stepped aside.
I saw the sword light and sword shadow, and after a moment of effort, before the boss could react, all his subordinates fell.
Seeing this scene, the boss trembled with fright, and immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The two heroes spare their lives, and the villain is also forced to block the road and rob it, and he has never asked for silver taels, and he has not hurt a person, please spare the villain." ”
"Please spare us, two heroes!" immediately the men got up and knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Childe, what should you do with these people?" Yang Xing asked Luo Haoran on the side.
"Alas, let them abolish their martial arts and go to the yamen to surrender!" Luo Haoran sighed softly.
"Did you hear that, my son-in-law is merciful, let you abolish your martial arts, go to the yamen and surrender yourself, and spare your life. Yang Xing shouted.
Then, under the gaze of Luo Haoran and Yang Xing, they abolished their martial arts one by one, and then said to Luo Haoran and the others: "Thank you two heroes for not killing them, huh? ”
Then they rushed to the direction of the yamen one by one.
"Childe, did you say that they would go to the yamen to turn themselves in? Yang Xing asked Luo Haoran in disbelief.
"Now that martial arts have been abolished, they can no longer block the road and rob, and whether they surrender or not depends on whether they abandon evil and follow good. I hope they can start anew!" Luo Haoran sighed.
Then the two continued to rush to Qingzhou.
