Chapter 417: Many Worries
。 ”
"Yes. ”
“......”
The white robe raised his white hair three thousand, and Yu said leisurely and slowly boarded the parked carriage. Mo Yan hesitated slightly, as if he didn't understand the deep meaning of Yu Youran's monotonous response, but without saying much, he also boarded the carriage one after another. Thousands of Pure Yang Dao people then took out their respective mounts from the stable, followed the ruts of the carriage and slowly drove out of the Temple of Heaven and into Dongguan Road.
Later, Bai Lingyun led thousands of Confucian students from the Hanlin Academy to leave, Gu Fan also left after looking at the northwest for a long time, and nearly half of the 100,000 candidates in the Temple of Heaven left one after another. At this time, Huang Qi led hundreds of fast horses and dozens of yellow-clothed sword guards from the north gate...
In the fierce battle before, he watched the ceremony in the building outside the road, which can be said to be extremely worrying.
In just a few hours, as the young treasurer of the Huang family, he issued sixteen Huangmen urgent orders in a row, and almost all the energy of the Huang family's operation in Kyoto for more than 100 years was secretly dispatched to various key places in the north of the city to lurk, and if he saw that the situation was wrong, he would be burned at any time. He was worried about the lives of Xia Xun and hundreds of northerners, and he was also afraid that the imperial court would be involved regardless of the overall situation, so he immediately used thunderous means to start the killing. If this is the case, then the layout that the Huang family has just started will be stillborn. Fortunately, at the last moment, the drunken Dao man turned the tide, and with a sword, he cut off the momentum of the situation to the extreme, and also allowed Huang Qi to have room for maneuver, so as to withdraw the urgent order to storm the Temple of Heaven.
That's why he's in a hurry now.
"Royal..."
Huang Qi led hundreds of yellow-clothed sword guards all the way to the northwest of the Temple of Heaven, then turned over and dismounted and crossed the siege of the northerners to the middle of the field.
"How is he?"
Huang Qi asked eagerly, Xia Hou carried half of Xia Xun's body in one hand, and replied: "It's okay, it's just that I was stunned, and I can wake up in a few hours." ”
"That's good, that's good..."
Huang Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but the sadness on his face did not subside much.
He didn't seem to intend to ask about Xia Xun's affairs, and then he raised a little solemn and whispered again: "There is a letter from the secret son of the military department, and millions of tigers have been ordered by the emperor to block all the key passes in Fangcun Mountain yesterday and expel tourists. Now that no one is allowed to enter or leave it, I am afraid that your trip to heaven will be very dangerous. ”
"Humph!"
"A bunch of dog thieves!"
Lei Meng snorted coldly, swept his arm, and grinned: "I expected them to get their hands dirty, but we're not afraid." Xun Shao said that they did not dare to exert pressure with imperial power above the heavenly test, and we have three hundred warriors in the same boat, and they can't help us among their peers. Little flag, you can rest assured. ”
Huang Qi looked sideways at Lei Meng and shook his head: "Brother Meng, it's hard to say this." The so-called open guns are easy to block, and dark arrows are difficult to defend. And this summer, the secret of the search for the sky has been revealed to the world, no matter who that human soul is, the emperor will inevitably put him to death. The rules of the day test will be announced tomorrow, and there is still room for maneuver during the period. I mean, if the situation is not right, you can avoid its edge, retreat first, and don't force it. ”
"Retreat, you will die. ”
As soon as Huang Qi finished speaking, the three words of indifference came out of Mo Xian's mouth lightly, and he didn't explain the deep meaning of these three words, because he knew that Huang Qi must know the deep meaning.
Huang Qi frowned when he heard this, and at the same time turned his face to look at Mo Xian.
He did know what those three words meant.
Kyoto is like a hunting ground, with countless wicked people sharpening their knives and a hesitant elk. If the elk moves forward, it will enter an ambush trap, and if it retreats, it will be attacked by swords and spears, and it will surely die. This is the situation of Xia Xun, Xia Hou and others at this time, the court does not want to take them down, but wants them to walk into the trap that has been laid out so as to hunt them...
Huang Qi didn't think much about it, and said in a low voice: "You see this is good, there is a secret post we have cultivated in the Dongcheng Praetorian Guard, and I have ordered someone to take care of the retreat." Tomorrow, if nothing can be done, or if the wind blows, I will choose 300 dead soldiers to disguise themselves as you and appear near the examination room to confuse your vision, and you will follow me from the east of the city to withdraw from Kyoto in the clothes of the Huang family. If you encounter obstacles or the matter is revealed, I will cut off the queen for you in the name of the Huang family, and when you leave Kyoto, you can take the birds all the way south to Yueyang, and I will arrange people to escort you on the way, so that you can have a complete way out. ”
"Then you will die. ”
Mo Xian's answer was still extremely simple, just one more word.
Huang Qi smiled noncommittally, waved his hand and said: "You don't need to worry about me, the Huang family has been based in Chang'an for hundreds of years, and we have our own reliance that you can't see." Besides, the ancestors of the family are on top, there is a treasure knife to slay the dragon, and the emperor has to be afraid of three points, and he definitely doesn't dare to do anything with me. You can rest assured. ”
Mo Xian still seemed to have concerns, he cautiously looked at Xia Xun who was resting on Xia Hou, but he no longer had any words.
Xiahou, Lei Meng, and Bai Xiu exchanged glances with each other, and then Lei Meng clenched his fists and said: "Little Qi, you have thought about it thoroughly, Brother Meng, thank you for your brothers and sisters first." It's just that now Xun Shao has not woken up, and I can't wait for rough people to make claims to stay, I see everything until Xun Shao wakes up and then discuss?"
Huang Qi knew that Xia Xun was the core of the northerners, and if he didn't nod, the northerners would definitely be killed and would not leave.
Therefore, Huang Qi was no longer reluctant, he pulled up Xia Hou's elbow, and said with a little meaning: "Okay then." I have ordered someone to arrange a place to stay in Fangcundong Town. It's only a hundred miles away from the main vein mountain pass, let's settle down there first, and then think about it in the long run when Xia Xun wakes up. ”
"That's very good. ”
“......”
Although Huang Qi's strategy is not too clever, he is better at being methodical, and everything can be arranged just right and one step ahead. For example, before he came, he probed the tone of the Criminal Department, carefully weighed the risks of the trip to Fangcun Mountain, prepared the inn where the carriage and horses stayed, and thought about the way to retreat tomorrow. This planning is also delicate.
Everyone was not hypocritical, and rode hundreds of horses led by Huang Qi one after another.
Only the little monk and the fat monk went to the stable.
Going to the stables can only lead the horses, but it's not that they don't receive Huang Qi's love, but the two white horses in the stables can't be lost.
The little monk walked side by side with the fat monk.
Facing the crowd, he walked out of a long distance with his back to a group of northerners.
"Eight precepts. ”
"Huh?"
"The master has a few days to go out. ”
The fat monk was a little confused: "Then what's the matter?"
Mu Na's little monk Mu was stunned and said: "After leaving the customs, he will be very lonely alone in Xiangguo Temple, or you can stay with him." ”
"Uh..."
The fat monk was stunned, he could hear what the little monk meant: "Senior brother, you are not kind." ”
"Why isn't it kind?"
"We monks don't shoot yellow croaker. You're worried that the old pig will hold you back, so you deliberately pushed me away, right?"
"It's a lie, not a yellow croaker. ”
"It's all the same. ”
"Amitabha. ”
The little monk recited a Buddha name and continued: "Since you guessed it, I won't hide it from you. The trip is my 500-year-old evil cause and 500-year evil result, it has nothing to do with you, I can deal with it alone, you don't need to be contaminated with this great cause and effect of reincarnation with me. Moreover, after the master leaves the customs, he really needs someone to take care of his daily life and food, so it is very appropriate for you to stay. ”
"Huh. ”
The fat monk waved his fat wrist disapprovingly, and smiled: "Senior brother, you know what you are worried about. Aren't you afraid of being hit by the old god's nonsense? There is a spirit in every inch, and it cannot be forced. According to the old pig, it's all, I don't believe him is deceiving the devil. ”
"Amitabha, sin and sin. ”
Between the words, the little monk and the fat monk walked into the stable one after another.
The two white horses in the shed are very human, and those who see the comer not only step on their hooves lightly, but also breathe and whisper.
The two walked in front of the white horse, the little monk began to comfort, then untied the reins, and said solemnly: "Fang Cun is the ancestral source of Lingshan, the origin of the Buddha's enlightenment, and the root of the beginning of evil and good. That Dao Master had already calculated the cause and effect of the Heavenly Machine, and he was a kind warning that you should not speak ill of you. And this trip is indeed very dangerous, the master originally wanted me to try to climb the tower through the sky to get a chance to go to Fang Cun again, so as to strive for a little more certainty, but now it seems that the trip to Fang Cun had to be advanced. I can't protect myself on this trip, your Buddha's heart is not stable, if you are in danger with me, I am afraid of my life, so the senior brother still hopes that you can stay in Xiangguo Temple to take care of the master. ”
"Haha... Senior brother, don't you also underestimate the old pig, okay?"
The fat monk changed his timid attitude in the past, took the reins handed by the little monk, patted his chest proudly, and said with a smile: "Don't look at the old pig, I am usually timid and afraid of things, if you really play hard, I am afraid of the old pig! Senior brother, you can rest assured, the master will be taken care of in the Daxiangguo Temple, and he will not die of hunger when he recites the scriptures every day." It's that you follow those gangsters, I can't rest assured that I'm not going to be next to you, maybe you'll be sold without me next to you. So, this time the old pig has to go with you anyway, so don't nag and pull. ”
"Amitabha. ”
The little monk shook his head helplessly, and there was no longer anything to say when he recited the Buddha's name.
Two monks, one small and one fat, rode out of the stable on white horses one after another, and returned to the ranks of the northerners.
Then the three hundred men whipped proudly, the horses galloped, and went east through the yellow dust...
