Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: 601 Yangzhou Nights
The carrier pigeons flew around on the wall of Hangzhou this night, and the soldiers guarding Yangzhou City could only look at these pigeons that emerged overnight. It was a little unclear.
On the order of Li Jingye, King Luo Bin has been patrolling around the city for nearly an hour. He is surrounded by several city defenders. He also has a strong affection for the new appointment to join the army.
The sound of carriages rang in the silent streets in the middle of the night, and the rhythm of horse hooves rattling, along with the sound of rolling across the road, made the otherwise silent night look particularly harsh and abrupt.
"Let's go down and see, who is going out of the city in the middle of the night." King Luo Bin stood at the head of the city and looked at the carriage downstairs. An unmarked lantern was placed beside the cowl, emitting a dim light, shining on the road ahead.
As more than ten soldiers rushed down to the city head under the leadership of a guard, they quickly raised their spears and crossbows in front of the carriage, a cold drink rang from the guard’s mouth, and the carriage slowly Stopped.
"Who!" The guard asked the driver looking at the driver whose face was covered by the shadow of the light. The horizontal knife in his hand immediately pulled out the scabbard, exerting pressure on the opposite side.
The driver did not answer immediately, but slowly raised the lantern in his hand, shining it next to his cheek, and then took out a fish charm from his arms and threw it over, then said coldly: "Make an errand, open the gate!"
The fish talisman was caught by the guard cleanly, and he took a look at the fire from his side, not sure if this fish talisman is still useful in today’s Yangzhou city, so he involuntarily looked towards the city’s head Join the army on the record.
Uncertainly crushed the fish symbol in my hand with my fingers, thought about it, and said: "Wait a minute, Yangzhou City is different now, I need to go up and ask for instructions."
"Please." Man Chung said lightly, looking at the guard's stern face.
Bai Chun in the car whispered: "If King Luo Bin hasn't come here, we might as well wait a little longer and remember not to turn around and go to other gates."
"Yes, Miss Bai, but looking at the appearance of the guard, obviously unable to call the shots. I have to go up and ask for instructions. I don't know if it is King Luo Bin." Mang Chung turned his head and glanced at the carriage door and said.
Bai Chun in the carriage did not answer Mang's words, but fell into a kind of silence. At the head of Yangzhou City, only the footsteps made by the guard when he went up and down the steps sounded.
"You can get out of the city." The guard had already sheathed the horizontal knife in his hand, and returned the fish charm in his hand to Mang seed. Watching Mang seed put the fish charm into his arms, he couldn't help but whispered: "Nowadays, it's not peaceful outside Yangzhou. You'd better take a small road after you go out, and...after this fish talisman is out of the city, and you meet other people to inquire, it is best not to use it again, it may not be useful after it is out of the city. "
"Oh? This is the fish charm given by Master Li himself. Wouldn't it be useless after leaving the city?" A clear voice came from the car, and the guard could not help but twist his brows.
"These things are not clear to you. In short, you should remember that after you leave the city, you don’t use this fish charm anymore, not to mention that there are female family members in your carriage. If you want you to escape Yangzhou City safely, it’s best It's what I said." The guard looked at the black shadow on the top of the city, and saw no one urging him, so he said a few more words again.
Bai Chun in the car was not talking, but she already understood. Thinking about it, more than their family secretly left the city this evening. It seems that some wealthy, connected, and well-connected families have already started. Quietly fled Yangzhou to escape the war.
"Thank you for the general reminder, we will remember what you said." Mang said with a salute.
The guard watched Mang Chung's decent actions and thought to himself that this might be another family member of Yangzhou.
I wanted to return, but he nodded silently and said, "Go, it’s not easy to leave the country, so you don’t have to." The guard handed the silver mang seed back to the mang seed, and smiled gently. Said.
"Thank you so much. After we come back, I will thank the general again for his great virtue." Mang Chung was also polite, taking back the silver in his hand and putting it in his sleeve pocket, thanking again.
"I don't know if I can see you again next time. Who knows what kind of chaos will be in Yangzhou in the future." The guard smiled bitterly and waved his hand, apparently reluctant to say more, beckoning them to leave quickly.
Chen Qinghan in the carriage, looking at Chen Jingzhi tiredly leaning in the carriage, her face was filled with joy for a while, and tears were streaming down her face for a while, and Bai Chun prepared the Sipa by her. Used to wipe tears.
"The minister would like to thank Miss Bai for saving her life." Chen Jingzhi said haggardly after the carriage slowly set off again.
"You don't have to thank me. If you want to, thank your Royal Highness. If you weren't your Highness, I'm afraid you would have been beheaded by Li Jingye." Bai Chun said lightly, without a trace of expression on his face.
In this way, Chen Qinghan was very puzzled. She clearly remembered that Miss Bai was always smiling when she was next to His Royal Highness. Although she would occasionally be as indifferent as she is now, she was a little polite in the face of her father's gratitude. There is no expression on it, too rare.
Chen Jingzhi didn’t know what Chen Qinghan was thinking, but he knew that Miss Bai Chun was telling the truth. If it hadn’t been for two people to help him in secret, he would have died before Li Jingye’s execution. In the prison.
Although the letter I put on Chen Qinghan has a certain threat to Li Jingye, if we look at the form of the city of Yangzhou today, Li Jingye doesn’t have to think about so much. So, to put it bluntly, my own article Life, in any case, was saved by His Royal Highness.
Bai Chun took out a letter and handed it to Chen Jingzhi, and continued blankly: "This is given to you by His Highness. When you arrive in Chang'an or Luoyang, you can take this letter to Luoyang Fu Yin Lou Shide, or Wang Ji can also be. As for these letters, you naturally need to hand them to Dali Temple or the Criminal Department, but you don’t need to go there personally when you want to come, they may send someone to find you."
"Thank you, Miss Bai, the minister must do it, and never let these letters fall into the hands of the gangsters." Chen Jingzhi's hair was scattered and her expression was old and tired. In Chen Qinghan's eyes, she felt like her father was like this time , Has become 70 or 80 years old.
The carriage stopped slowly again, and the sound of footsteps outside again rang noisily. Before Bai Chun waited for the mangkin to lift the curtain, he took the initiative to lift the curtain and walked away, then turned his head and said to Chen Jingzhi: "This road may not be peaceful, Yang Zhirou and Young Master Yang Sijian, or whether others will embarrass you, will depend on your good fortune. There are twenty elite soldiers here, and they will **** you to Chang'an along the way. I will listen to you, so you have to be cautious in everything."
With Chen Qinghan's support, Chen Jingzhi got up from the side of the carriage with difficulty, saluted Bai Chun respectfully, and then said: "Miss Bai, don't worry, the minister will be very careful on the way. Thank you, Your Majesty, and Miss Bai. "
Bai Chun put down the car curtain, and under the protection of the mang species and the cheetah, he explained a few words to the twenty soldiers of the Buddhist camp before him, and was about to rush back to Yangzhou immediately.
At this moment, the door curtain of the carriage was opened again from the inside. With that little moonlight, Chen Qinghan's beautiful eyes looked back and forth, and then jumped out of the carriage and ran to Bai Chun, bowing his head. He whispered: "Sister Bai, after you go back, please thank Your Highness for the younger sister, and Qinghan will remember His life-saving grace in this life."
Bai Chun smiled, looking at Chen Qinghan with his head down, showing a smile that hadn't been shown since the meeting, and whispered softly: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring my little sister's thanks. But..."
"But what?" Chen Qinghan didn't know why Bai Chun paused, so he raised his head and asked.
"But when your Highness returns to Chang'an, you have to thank you in person. I can't thank Your Highness for you, so let's just leave it."
Chen Qinghan couldn't think too much, and immediately said, "That's natural. If your Highness returns to Chang'an and is willing to condescend and be noble, the younger sister will definitely thank Your Highness."
"This is what you said, so let's just say it!" Bai Chun stretched out his little white jade fingers~IndoMTL.com~ looked at Chen Qinghan.
Chen Qinghan looked at Bai Chun's jade-like little fingers, shining a little under the faint moonlight, nodded firmly, and stretched out his slender and graceful little fingers, hooking them with Bai Chun's fingers.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and then watched Chen Qinghan get into the car again. Twenty soldiers of the Buddhist Batu Battalion immediately surrounded the carriage and rode their horses to take advantage of the night and slowly drove away.
"What shall we do?" The cheetah looked at the desolate field, and the unknown birds and insects in the grass screamed tirelessly, calling for the word of dawn.
Bai Chun strolled forward. In the night, the Mang and the cheetah followed closely behind him. The three of them now had nothing but the only lantern in the cheetah's hand.
Walking in the quiet and empty night, Bai Chun tried his best to look at the city of Yangzhou hidden in the dark night, and muttered: "What else can I do? Wait, if King Luo Bin is sensible, he has to send A carriage will go out of town to greet us, right?"
There is unspeakable ease in the tone. In her opinion, as long as Chen Jingzhi is sent away, even if half of the task is completed, what will happen in Yangzhou city next and how far will it develop? What kind of result will end, these are not my own considerations, I only need to protect the safety of His Highness.
The three of them walked leisurely and relaxedly in the dark night. In just two miles, they passed by three carriages, and even two carriages stopped to discourage them from going forward. Yangzhou City has already It's not the city of Yangzhou a few days ago. Now it's extremely unstable and dangerous. It's better to come back later.
Bai Chun and the three people declined their kindness, and at the same time they had to sigh in their hearts that the people in the south of the Yangtze River and the people in the north of the Yangtze River had completely different attitudes when facing war.
