The next day, the sky wakes up and the moon disappears. The person left a letter and closed the door with his hand. He knew that if he resigned, the palace elder would not allow it, so he left a letter and said goodbye without saying goodbye.

When he went out, he saw that the pillar guarding the door was napping against the wall, and the Guan people tiptoed past him, gently opened the vermilion lacquer door, and flashed out.

"Ahh ”

Just as he was about to turn around and close the door, he heard a loud sneeze nearby.

"Who?" Guan Ren hurriedly looked around, and suddenly exclaimed, "Brother Fan, why are you here?"

Fan Bufan sniffed, thinking that it was extremely cold, and his arms curled up: "I've waited for you for a night, but it's calculated, let's go." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Aren't you going out of the mountain? Mr. Ben is going with you. ”

Guan Ren was taken aback: "Have you figured it out?"

"That's still fake, hmm, the baggage is all packed. ”

Guan Ren looked over his shoulder, and sure enough, he was carrying a green cloth burden, and nodded: "Okay, let's go." ”

Fan Bufan saw Guan Ren turn north, and hurriedly grabbed his arm and said, "You want to enter the mountain from the north?"

Guan said: "The other three sides of the mountain are steep and difficult to climb, while the north mountain is gentle and can save a lot of effort. ”

"Have you forgotten what I said to you last night? There is an ambush in the north mountain, and if you go north, you will definitely die. ”

Guan Ren broke away from Fan Bufan: "If you are afraid, it is too late to go back now." If you want to get out of the mountain, there is only one road to the north. ”

"Bah, what is there to be afraid of Mr. Ben? The people in ambush on the mountain will only kill you, but not me. ”

"Oh?"

Fan Bufan groaned slightly, gritted his teeth, and confessed: "Let me tell you clearly, that Tangtai Gong is my uncle." ”

Guan Ren sighed, not surprised.

The two of them traveled all the way north. A short walk away, two other people followed him out of the alley.

One said: "You continue to follow, I will go to the academy to tell the master." ”

"Good. ”

The two parted at the entrance of the alley, one continued to follow, and the other hurried to the academy.

Holding a bamboo basket in his hand, he walked on the bluestone path in the courtyard, picking flowers that bloomed well on both sides.

Suddenly, he heard a rush of footsteps from far and near, and the Duke of Tai still leaned over to pick flowers, without raising his head, and asked, "How are things going?"

"Master, I'm afraid there is something ......"

Yutai Gong frowned: "Something went wrong?"

The messenger hurriedly responded: "No." Be..... Young Master Table. ”

The Duke of Tai raised his head and frowned, "What's wrong with the young master?"

"The little one saw the young master walking with the boy of the palace family this morning, and he also brought a burden, saying that he would go out of the mountain with him. ”

"Nonsense. The Duke snorted angrily, his snort aggravated. After thinking for a moment, he said, "You go and prepare the car, and then bring some people with me to go to the mountains." ”

"Yes. ”

At half a pillar of incense, a horse-drawn carriage drove out of the main entrance of the academy, followed by two teams of people, about twenty or thirty people.

As soon as he had breakfast, he came from the front and recognized his father's carriage at a glance, and shouted, "Dad, where are you going?"

The carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted, and the Duke of Tantai looked out: "Jin'er, I have something to do for my father, and I want to go to the mountains." You stay in the academy honestly, don't go out and make trouble. ”

"Good and decent, what are you going to do in the mountains?"

The Duke of Tantai glanced at him: "You don't inquire." As he spoke, he lowered the curtain and shouted, "Go." ”

The convoy continued north.

Tantai became suspicious, and casually pulled someone over and asked, "What is my father doing in the mountains?"

The man sneered, "I heard that it has something to do with Young Master Cousin." ”

"Cousin, what's the matter with him?"

"I heard that the young master went to the mountains. ”

He let go of the man, waved his hand, and said, "Go ahead." ”

After thinking for a moment, he said to the more than ten strong men accompanying him: "Bring a bow and arrow, and follow me into the mountain." ”

Guan Ren and Fan Bufan looked north all the way, and the two talked and laughed, but they didn't feel that they were in a hurry.

After walking for more than an hour, Fan Bufan pointed ahead and said: "See, after that ancient archway, it is outside the city." ”

Guan Ren looked into the distance, vaguely unable to see the real thing, and couldn't help but sigh secretly that his eyesight was not good.

When you get here, the surroundings are becoming deserted. The stone archway, rooted in a barren grass, withered crows crows all around, doubly desolate.

When you get closer, there are clear words on the archway.

In the center is engraved a very large and deep word 'righteousness'. There are two lines of small seals on the right side of the order, which are "the four dimensions of the country, one is called ceremony, two is righteousness, three is honesty, and four is shame." If the four dimensions are not open, the country will perish. ”

The two did not stop and went out of the Yizi door. As far as the eye can see, there is a wild field full of wild grass.

Guan said: "Let's go faster, it's best to get to the bottom of the mountain before noon." ”

"It's still early to look at the mountain and run a dead horse. Why do you want to do it before noon?"

Guan said: "The people who ambushed us have been squatting all night, and they must be very tired. When it was noon, the warm breeze was smoking, and Guan Bao's eyelids couldn't be raised, so we walked lightly and might not be noticed. ”

After another half an hour, only a few miles away from the foot of the mountain, I suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves running and shouting behind me.

"Stop. ”

A carriage rolled in, and two teams of men and horses appeared in the dust kicked up.

These people rushed to the front and besieged Guan Ren and Fan Bufan.

The coachman helped the prince to get out of the carriage.

Fan Bufan looked nervous and said, "Uncle, why are you here?"

Tan Taigong's face was calm, and his tone was indifferent: "Extraordinary, go back with me." ”

Fan Bufan shook his head, his eyes blazing, and his tone was resolute: "I won't go back with you." If I want to stay here for the rest of my life, I am not reconciled. ”

Yutai Gong turned his head sideways and glanced at the person next to him: "Go, take the young master with you." ”

"Yes. ”

At that moment, two strong men came out and walked towards Fan Bufan. It's a pity that they only walked out of Zhangxu, and the two fell to the ground without warning.

The Duke of Tai was furious: "What's the matter?"

Guan Ren took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "The Duke of Tai is old, and he doesn't grow flowers and make tea in the academy, cultivate his body, but he has been driven all the way, can his body still withstand such a toss?" ”

Tan Taigong's face turned pale, and he said coldly: "I reminded you yesterday that the mountain is dangerous, and I want you to think carefully before making a decision, so as not to die in vain, it seems that you did not take the old words to heart." ”

Guan Ren said with a smile: "The younger generation is dead or alive, and Mr. is concerned." Brother Fan is my friend, and since he said that he would not go back with you, he would not return. The old gentleman said a few words of farewell as soon as possible, and then hurried away. ”

The Duke of Tai sneered: "Little guy, you are dying to the end, don't you still know it?"

"Uncle. Fan Bufan hurriedly stepped out and stood in front of Guanren: "Uncle, Brother Guan is my friend." For your nephew's sake, spare his life. I vouch for him that he will never leak out of the mountain. ”

Tan Tai Gong squinted slightly, the cold light flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said: "You actually help an outsider to speak? If you return, you will still be my good nephew, if you insist on refusing to ...... You know the consequences. ”
