Chapter 284: Leave the city in the middle of the night, and come when you go
"Brother Zhou, why are you here? How did you get in? Who is he?"
Song Zhiyuan is full of poetry and books, literary and horizontal, reading and writing, the most able to nourish qi, self-proclaimed "every major event has calm", can do things without surprise. However, at this moment, in despair, I suddenly saw my close friend Zhou Fencao, and I couldn't help but feel emotional, overflowing with words, and asking questions in my mouth.
When Zhou Fencao saw this confidant, he also had mixed feelings. The last time he and Song Zhiyuan said goodbye, it was only a few months ago, but now that Song Zhiyuan looks haggard, his sideburns have white frost, and he seems to be more than ten years old.
It can be seen that Song Zhiyuan was trapped in Nanyang during this period of time, and suffered physically and mentally.
"Uncle Zhou!"
Song Kechan was very happy and happily called out. It's like seeing a savior, and I'm almost going to pounce.
Compared with her father, she was more miserable in her heart, and when she thought of the tragic experience of being forcibly married by the "pig of the Yuan family", she couldn't sleep at night and longed to die.
Song Zhiyuan forcibly suppressed the fluctuations in his heart, afraid that his daughter would lose her temper and make a disturbance, which would alarm Hu Weiwei, who was guarding outside, and hurriedly shouted: "Chan'er, don't make a noise." β
Song Kechan also woke up and subconsciously reached out to cover her mouth.
Zhou Fencao sighed: "Brother Song, you have suffered. β
Song Zhiyuan smiled wryly and was speechless.
Zhou Fencao's eyes were scorching: "Brother Song, have you not figured it out yet?" The world is chaotic, even if you live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, I am afraid it will be difficult to be alone. β
Song Zhiyuan was silent, some things are true, and they can never be understood by reading poetry and books. In fact. Before Zhou Fencao moved to Jing County, he talked to him from the bottom of his heart. Expressing the meaning of invitation, saying that Nanyang cannot live in peace. But at that time, Song Zhiyuan didn't think so. After all, he is a celebrity and has a reputation, and he feels that Yuan Wenchang will not come nonsense and bully him. Only now do I realize that the previous ideas were too naΓ―ve, and the display of armor, the so-called pen and ink, and the so-called fame are as fragile as paper paste.
But what can be said? After all, he was just a weak reader. If in the peaceful years, he studied and educated people and spoke well, but when he encountered this troubled world, he was helpless.
"Brother Zhou, are you here this time?"
Zhou Fencao replied: "Of course, it is to take you out of Nanyang." β
"What?"
"Really?"
Song Zhiyuan's father and daughter spoke in unison, and they were surprised.
Song Zhiyuan's voice trembled a little, and he asked, "It's just ...... It's just that Nanyang is currently guarded like an iron bucket by Yuanhua, how can he get out?"
Zhou Fencao habitually stroked his beard. Unexpectedly, after touching the emptiness, he remembered that his long beard had been cut off, coughed dryly, and said confidently: "Since Mr. Xu and I can come in." Of course, you can go out. β
"Mr. Xu?"
Zhou Fencao introduced a little vaguely: "This Mr. Xu is a capable man with strong martial arts. Flying eaves walk on the wall, such as walking on the flat ground. β
These are not polite words. It's a real compliment.
Zhou Fencao has long understood that there is a sky outside the sky, and he knows that there are rivers and lakes outside the temple. I have also seen some characters with good force, but compared with Xu Nianniang, those people are simply dirty chickens and dogs, not to mention.
Entering the Song Mansion was completely Xu Nianniang's means, holding Zhou Fencao's hand with one hand, Zhou Fencao didn't have time to see it clearly, so he felt like a cloud, subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already in the back garden of the Song Mansion.
Looking at the two-foot wall, Zhou Fencao secretly smacked his tongue.
Hearing Zhou Fencao's introduction, the eyes of Song Zhiyuan and others fell on Xu Nianniang, full of hope. They all know that Zhou Fencao is also a literati, and there is no problem in giving advice, but it is completely impossible to fight, kill, and kill, so they can only count on Xu Nianniang.
Xu Nianniang's appearance is not outstanding, she looks like a down-and-out scholar, her expression is calm, and she can't see any clues.
Song Zhiyuan couldn't help frowning, he saw Xu Nianniang holding a pot of wine in her hand, pouring a sip into her mouth from time to time, and a strong smell of wine overflowed.
This wine is not a good wine.
As a literati, Song Zhiyuan also likes to drink. However, drinking is like a snowstorm, and you have to pay attention to the occasion.
What is the place now?
the crisis-ridden Nanyang Mansion;
What time is it?
It is never an exaggeration to say that life and death are at stake, and catastrophe is coming.
Drinking alcohol in this situation is a bit out of place.
Greedy for a cup and a mistake.
"Could this person be a drunkard?"
Song Zhiyuan muttered in his heart.
Zhou Fencao was accustomed to Xu Nianniang's behavior, so he didn't dare to despise it, and asked, "Mr. Xu, do you see?"
Xu Nianniang poured a big sip of wine, and her eyes narrowed: "There is wine and no food, it is inevitably boring." β
When Song Zhiyuan heard this, he almost stammered: The so-called madmen and celebrities are nothing more than that, and they dare to love this person in the martial arts. I couldn't help but look at Zhou Fencao, to see what he meant.
Zhou Fencao was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu, wait a minute, the delicacies will come." He glanced at Mrs. Song.
Mrs. Song took her daughter out of the hall and went to the back hall with her maid to prepare a meal.
It's just that I have something on my mind and am nervous, and this meal is a little absent-minded, and I lost my level, and it was actually fried, and there was a burnt smell.
It took more than half an hour to get a table of food.
During this time, the Song family was worried, for fear that Hu Weiwei's people would break in, and when they saw Zhou Fencao and the others present, they broke the act. Fortunately, Yuan Huacheng didn't want to force Song Zhiyuan too tightly, so he only ordered the sergeant to guard outside, no one was allowed to enter or leave, and as for Song Zhiyuan, they didn't care about what they were messing with inside.
Xu Nianniang came to the table, and she was not polite, picked up the chopsticks, feasted, drank, ate meat, and made a sound. Zhou Fencao and Song Zhiyuan were all accompanied, and Mrs. Song's mother and daughter were worried and didn't have much appetite to eat.
Before you know it, the sun is setting in the west, the sun is setting, and the twilight is enveloped.
Song Zhiyuan watched Xu Nianniang drink at least three jars of wine, he had seen a lot of people, but he had never seen such a way of drinking, and if he changed to someone else, he would have drunk into a puddle of mud.
Xu Nianniang put down the dishes and chopsticks and said slowly: "Eat and drink enough, everyone take a break for the time being, and go out of the city tonight." β
Song Zhiyuan asked: "Mr. Xu, forgive Song for his blunt words, Nanyang implements a curfew, and the four cities are closed at night, and it is difficult to fly, how to get out of the city?"
Xu Nianniang said: "Xu has his own way, just be relieved." β
However, how can the hearts of Song Zhiyuan and others be wide.
Xu Nianniang didn't care, she went to the side hall and lay on a long table, and after a while, a slight snoring sounded out.
Song Zhiyuan pulled Zhou Fencao aside and asked, "Brother Zhou, what is the origin of this Mr. Xu?"
Zhou Fencao said: "I don't know the specifics, but he is the father-in-law of the son, he must be sure, Brother Song can rest assured." β
"Childe?"
Song Zhiyuan quickly reacted, and it should be Chen Sanlang. Once upon a time, Song Zhiyuan also had some meaning, and wanted to marry his daughter Song Kechan to Chen Sanlang, but in the end, it didn't work. Time has passed, and I am embarrassed.
Everyone is not in such a good mood as Xu Nianniang, they lie down and sleep, and stay up for hours. I don't know how long it took, Xu Nianniang finally sat up and said in a deep voice: "Let's get out of the city." β
Led the group to the back garden, which came out of the wall and quickly opened the door from the outside for everyone to go out.
When Song Zhiyuan came outside, he saw that several tiger guards who were originally guarding the back door were nowhere to be found. He didn't ask, it must have been Xu Nianniang's means.
God unknowingly solved several strong sergeants, which shows how powerful this Xu Nianniang is.
Song Zhiyuan gradually felt relieved.
There was a curfew in Nanyang, and there were no people on the street, quietly, darkly, and occasionally the sound of horses' hooves full of conquest sounded, which was the passing of patrolling soldiers.
Zhou Fencao and the others lifted their hearts and cautiously followed behind Xu Nianniang, not daring to breathe.
Xu Nianniang's body is sensitive, like a tanuki walking in the night, always seems to have the magical powers of an unpredictable prophet, beating around the corners, and can always avoid the patrol armor in advance without being discovered.
Song Zhiyuan and the others became more and more frightened, you must know that they are all locals in Nanyang, born and raised in Si, and they can be said to know everything about the streets and alleys, but now they follow each other, but they are like strangers, and they don't know where the target is at the next moment.
"This is the ...... Pinghua Street"
"Turned into Chaoming Lane......"
Song Zhiyuan secretly observed the surrounding environment, and took advantage of the faint light of the stars and moon, and finally recognized the southeast and northwest: "This is to the south gate." β
Sure enough, about a quarter of an hour later, Xu Nianniang stood still and stood under one roof. When they looked ahead, they saw a wall not far ahead. A lantern was raised on the wall, and a light shone out. There was a flickering of sharp coldness, which was the light reflected by the weapons held by the defenders' armor.
There is a wind blowing, the flag hunting, and there is a solemn atmosphere.
It can be seen that this wall is not very high.
Zhou Fencao looked at it for a while, and Huo Ran realized: "This place is the ancient wall of the city. β
Nanyang Mansion is an ancient city, with a long history, in addition to the four city gates, there are some ancient wall ruins, due to some reasons, it has not been perfectly repaired. After Yuan Huacheng was stationed in Nanyang, he was busy with local suppression, and he did not have time to strengthen the ancient wall for a while, but only sent some soldiers and horses to guard it. The number of people is not large, only a few dozen.
In Yuan Huacheng's view, people are sufficient.
Under the rule of Yuan Wenchang, the entire Yangzhou County was in good order, there were no thieves, and it was quite peaceful. Yuan Wenchang also had a secret agreement with Shi Pojun, and he did not prevent the barbarian army from entering. Therefore, Yuan Huacheng garrisoned Nanyang, and there was no need to do too much work at all, just suppress people's hearts and loot military funds.
There is a portal at the ancient wall here, and when you open the door and go out, you will be outside the city. But at this moment, the door was already closed, and General Tie guarded it. Although the ancient wall is a little lower than other city walls, it is still unattainable and insurmountable for Song Zhiyuan and others. Not to mention the armor guarding this place, if anyone kills them, they will only have to be punished.
I heard Xu Nianniang say: "Wait a minute, come when you go." β
The figure flashed, like a puff of smoke swept towards the ancient wall. (To be continued.) )
