Chapter 22: Out of the City
In Luoyang City, Yu Wenkai, who had an elegant face, was studying a book of "Examination Records" in his hand with relish.
As a descendant of Jiangmen, he did not inherit his father's business, and he was not good at arching horses since he was a child, but he was very fond of reading, and he had superb achievements in production technology and architecture.
Originally, Yang insisted on being the emperor, and in order to consolidate his dominance, he issued an order to wantonly kill the Yuwen clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, wanting to eliminate the remnants of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. And Yu Wenkai was originally written on the list that needed to be killed. However, due to the difference between Yu Wenkai's family and the Northern Zhou clan, and his second brother's meritorious support for Yang Jian, coupled with the fact that the Sui Dynasty was in ruins, his own talent was also deeply appreciated by Yang Jian, so he was able to avoid death. And Emperor Wen of Sui, who was at the time of employing people, handed over such a big project as the construction of the eastern capital Luoyang to him.
Regarding the chaos in Luoyang City in the past few days, Yu Wenkai is indifferent. It seemed to him that no matter what was going on outside, it was not as interesting as the book in his hand.
"Report to your lordship, those two have left, but the remnants of the rebellious party have not been caught. A soldier-like man reported.
"Oh. From beginning to end, Yu Wenkai's eyes never left the book in his hand. Said noncommittally.
The soldier looked at Yu Wenkai, who was immersed in the "Golden House", and did not mean to give an order. I could only bite the bullet and continue to ask: "The little dog dares to ask the adults what we should do after that." β
"Keep searching, you do whatever they say. Yu Wenkai frowned, and seemed to be starting to get a little impatient.
"Then whether to continue to seal the city gates, because of the blockade these days, the city has begun to complain. The soldier asked, turning his heart on the side.
"Then lift the ban, it's good to decide this kind of thing yourself, don't bother me if it's not a big deal. After Yu Wenkai finished speaking, he shook his head and continued to read.
"Yes. Although the soldier didn't dare to be presumptuous, he already had a feeling in his heart: If you can decide this kind of thing by yourself, then what do you want to do.
As the soldier left, Yu Wenkai gently put the book in his hand on the table. Looking at the sunlight shining through the window grille, he said to himself, "I don't know what they're doing these days." Let's go back and inform the second brother. With that, he chuckled lightly, and threw himself back into the world he loved......
............
Zheng Hao was sitting on the Taishi chair daydreaming, and Ah Rong rushed over: "Good news, good news." Luoyang has lifted the ban. β
Ah Rong's cry broke Zheng Hao's sweet dream, wiped the corner of his mouth, and slowly opened his eyes. When I turned my head, I saw a pair of dark eyes, looking at me face to face.
Feel the warm snort of the other party spraying on his face. Zheng Hao immediately got goosebumps all over his body, he moved his position slightly, and opened up a distance. A little embarrassed, he said, "Girl, please respect yourself." β
Looking at Zheng Hao, who was suffering from "straight male cancer", Azhu smiled toothily. did not retreat, but advanced, leaned over and approached, and said charmingly: "My good brother, you have been served by me since you were a child. I didn't see you shy when I bathed you. I'm ashamed to blow my breath now. β
Zheng Hao, who has been a man for two lives, was forced to the palace by a beautiful woman for the first time. Feeling the waves coming from my arm, I didn't know what to do for a while. Just when he felt some warmth in his nasal cavity, Yu Wenxi's voice suddenly came out: "You should go." β
After listening to Yu Wenyan's words, Ah Zhu's smiling face gradually turned cold. With both hands on the grip, he stood up. walked to the side, took something from the table in the distance, and handed it to Yu Wenxi.
"You don't want to throw away your knife. I originally wanted to leave a memorial, but now that you are still alive, it is time for the object to be returned to its original owner. Ah Zhu said expressionlessly.
Just as Zheng Hao sighed at the speed at which the woman turned her face, Yuwen Yan hesitated for a moment and took the well-made Sui knife. The sword was unsheathed, caressing the familiar lines on the jet-black blade. Yu Wenyan's face softened a little, this "broken water" treasure knife was a gift from Ah Zhu to Yu Wenyan after he left the palace for the first time.
Yuwen Yan slowly put the knife back into its sheath, and then handed it back to Ah Zhu, and his tone softened a little: "You should take this with self-defense." β
Ah Zhu pursed his lips and said with some disgust: "I don't like to use knives, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have carried it." I still like to use this. β
As he spoke, he took out a whisk from behind him and waved it lightly, revealing a satisfied smile.
"Red Whisk Girl?" Zheng Hao said with a long mouth and seemed to be a little incredulous.
"The Red Whisker Girl, that's a good name. I like it. Ah Zhu happily put away the dust, pinched Yu Wenxi's little face as a farewell, turned around and made a few light jumps, and disappeared.
"Are you considered green Li Jing?" Zheng Hao watched Ah Zhu leave, and then asked Yu Wenxi.
"Who is Li Jing? What does green mean?" Yu Wenxian tilted his head and asked as if he didn't understand.
Zheng Hao didn't bother to explain his comprehension ability, which was a century behind. He shook his head pretendly.
Seeing Zheng Hao pretending to be forced, Yuwen Xian didn't bother to pay attention to it. pulled Zheng Hao to stand up, and went to Ling'er to discuss the matter of leaving the city.
"Uncle Niu, what do you think. After receiving Ah Rong's news, Ling'er immediately gathered everyone to discuss.
Tie Niu thought for a moment, then turned to Ah Rong and asked, "What is the situation at the city gate now?" β
"Overcrowding, and the few days of martial law have caused many people to rush out of the city today. Ah Rong replied.
"The inspection at the border is not strict. Iron Bull continued to ask.
"It's still under investigation, but too many people are coming in and out. Aron replied.
"Then today should be the best opportunity to fish in troubled waters. After that, when there are fewer people coming in and out, it may be difficult to get out of the way. Tie Niu thought for a while and said to Ling'er.
"I think it's too big for us to go together, and it should be broken down. In addition......" Zheng Hao on the side suddenly spoke.
After listening to Zheng Hao's suggestion, Tie Niu nodded at Ling'er, and Ling'er no longer hesitated. clapped his hands and said, "Then do as Brother Ritian said, let's go and prepare." β
............
Tie Niu pulled the carriage and took Zheng Hao and Ling'er to the upper east gate of the east of the city to prepare to leave the city. Zheng Hao on the side discovered Ling'er's abnormality, looked around and found the problem. Lu Junyi's corpse hung prominently on the city gate, and the corpse had begun to swell under the scorching sun, and several crows kept competing for food around the corpse.
Seeing his father's corpse being treated so cruelly, Ling'er instantly fell to the brink of collapse. She didn't dare to look up, and the tears in her eyes dripped big and big on the ground.
Tie Niu naturally also found Lu Junyi who was shown to the public, he exhaled deeply, and said softly to Ling'er: "Ling'er, you have to hold on, the spirit of the big boss in the sky must also hope that you can be safe." Ling'er nodded and gritted her teeth, almost crushing her silver teeth.
After a long and cruel wait, it was finally Zheng Hao's turn to do the others. The guard looked at the honest Iron Bull and asked loudly, "What are you doing out, what is your relationship with these two?"
Tie Niu smiled, bowed his head and said, "We came to Luoyang to deliver goods, but it happened to be under martial law. These are my children, who said that they wanted to come to Luoyang to see the world, but they didn't listen to what they said and wanted to follow, and they asked the adults to make it convenient. As he spoke, he shook the guard's hand.
The guard felt the copper plate that came and sent it into his arms without a trace. said happily: "Okay, go quickly, don't get in the way of others." β
Just as the three of them were about to leave, a familiar figure was walking from not far away. A soldier pulled Lu Xunhuan, who was handheld and footed, towards the city gate, and said to the guards who were interrogating: "This kid is an accomplice of the rebellious party, and he will help us find out the remnants of the rebellious party." β
Iron Bull secretly screamed badly, and he slowly retreated to the carriage, ready to strike first.
At this critical moment, several soldiers ran over with a disgraced face: "Hurry up, come and help a few people, Zhangfu is out of the water." β
When everyone's attention turned back, Zheng Hao and the three of them were long gone......
When he came to the outside of the city, Ling'er couldn't control it anymore, and tears poured out like a bursting embankment. Tie Niu gently hugged Ling'er and comforted her.
At this time, Zheng Hao and Yu Wenxian took the "Broken Water" knife and bow and arrow from the compartment of the carriage, and reflexively walked towards the city gate.
Tie Niu frowned and shouted, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to bring the big boss back. Zheng Hao didn't look back, but the firm voice came into the ears of the two of them word by word.
"Don't go. Ling'er raised her head, her face like pear blossoms with rain. Hearing Zheng Hao's words, he couldn't wipe away his tears and shouted anxiously.
Zheng Hao turned his head, said with red eyes: "Although heaven and earth are not kind, how can they be dogs." Without looking back, he walked towards the city gate.
"You're really fine with horseback riding. Pretending to be forced is pretending to be forced, but Zheng Hao still beat the drum in his heart.
"Well, a few rides. Yu Wenxian said seriously.
"How many times? Forget it, the big husband has something to do, let's go. β
............
In the procession to enter the city, there was a horse merchant who was thinking about whether he could make a lot of money this time when he entered the city. Just as he was dreaming of spring and autumn, suddenly the horses beside him neighed one by one, and rushed towards the city gate out of control.
"My horse!" he stretched out his hand to stop, but it was too late. Seeing the out-of-control herd of horses rushing towards them, people avoided them one after another. For a time, the chickens and dogs at the entire city gate jumped and made a mess.
Just when the sound of horses' hooves and shouts was endless. Suddenly, a sudden sound of breaking the air reached everyone's ears, and with the sound, an arrow rose from the ground and went straight to the corpse of the tower. Only then did the crowd see a child riding on a white horse.
The arrow shot crookedly on the city wall and flew out, but it didn't hit the rope that bound Lu Junyi, Zheng Hao gritted his teeth. Draw the bow and wind it up to prepare for the second arrow.
This time, the two did not rush to shoot the arrow, but held their breath at the same time, and with the high concentration of their attention, Zheng Hao seemed to feel the rhythm of every inch of the horse's muscles under his crotch. The two of them have a common mind, trying to control the rhythm of their bodies.
The horses kept running, and at the moment when the two feet just rose and the four legs took off, Zheng Hao's eyes flashed, his tense fingers were put down steadily, and he shouted: "Go." β
The off-string arrows flew out like shooting stars, drawing a beautiful arc. landed a foot above Lu Junyi's head.
With a "poof", the rope broke in response, and Lu Junyi's body fell quickly. Yuwen yanned the reins, and the horse's front feet lifted and made a beautiful turning motion, stopping in place.
It's a long story, but it's all just a few breaths. Lu Xunhuan, who was arrested, saw clearly at this time that Yuwen Xian was like a god descending from heaven on horseback.
"Help me, I'm Lu Xunhuan. Lu Xunhuan raised his hand and tried to brush away the hair on his face, and screamed desperately as if he saw the last straw. At this time, the only few soldiers left behind reacted, and they all picked up their weapons and rushed towards Yuwen Yan.
Yu Wenxian glanced at Lu Xunhuan and ignored it. As Lu Junyi's body fell beside Yu Wenxian. He drew his sword and rushed towards the corpse. Without hesitation, the soldiers unleashed their guns to stop them, looking at the spears galloping at their sides. Yuwen Xian raised his hand to split Huashan with a force. The blade swept by, and the spear snapped like papier-mΓ’chΓ©.
The soldiers looked at the "wooden stick" in their hands and were stunned for a moment, and then looked at the murderous Yuwen Yan, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
Under the attention of everyone, Yuwen Yan put Lu Junyi on the back of the horse with great difficulty, turned over and prepared to leave. Just when he thought he was safe, an arrow burst through the air. With the sharp pain in his shoulder, Zheng Hao fainted straight, and looking at the blood flowing out of his shoulder, Yu Wenxian walked away with a clamp on the horse's belly.
At this time, the soldiers who had been transferred from the mountain were reinforced. And Lu Xunhuan, who was originally standing aside, disappeared at this time.
On the top of the city tower, Xue Kuang angrily broke the longbow, this bow technique was really too difficult for him when he only had one eye. Looking at Yu Wenxian who was gradually moving away, he gritted his teeth and said softly: "This is interest, and then I will get ......it back with interest."
