Chapter 24 Escape from Bianliang

"What! You already know that the emperor is going to do something bad to you?"

Mrs. Liu smiled sadly: "Just as Mr. Shao Lang said, there are examples from the three Yang and Wang families in history. How could we not know this?"

"Since you know, why don't you run away?"

"I want to escape, but I can't. A dragnet has been set outside the Guo Mansion, and the people in my Guo Mansion can't get out at all."

Xu Xian's expression changed upon hearing this: "Impossible! Then how did I get in!"

Mrs. Zhang smiled bitterly and said: "You have to ask Mr. Shaolang yourself, are you among those who monitor the Guo Mansion?"

"I'm all alone, where can I find help?"

"You really don't have any help? Just a person just walked in through the front door like this?"

"No, I slipped over the wall." Xu Xian felt as if he had made some fatal mistake.

Mrs. Zhang shook her head, "Fortunately for me, I thought some kind of savior had arrived, but it turned out that it was an ignorant boy who came here to die for nothing. We, the Guo family, have accepted Young Master's favor, but I'm afraid it will harm your life."

The young master should tell me his name. If he is killed, he should say hello to each other and be with me, the whole family of the Guo family, so that he does not have to go to hell alone."

This Madam Guo really looked forward to death. Xu Xian was horrified when he heard this, "Madam, you are not afraid?"

"What did Young Master say? How could I, a weak female prostitute, be unafraid of death? When I married the husband, I knew that he was a member of the military or a close confidant of the late emperor. At that time, I may not have thought about today's disaster."

This Mrs. Zhang was not from a small family; her father was the counselor and examiner under the King of Zhao Wang Rong, and she was also a knowledgeable woman.

Xu Xian was speechless and found that people in troubled times were much more accepting of death than people in later generations like him.

Mrs. Zhang stood up and said: "I'm sorry that I can't stay with you for a long time. I have to go back and spend more time with the children. Lao Lu will take good care of this young man. If he wants to go, let him go. If he stays, let him stay."

Don't be a starving ghost after eating enough wine and meat, and then turned around and left."

Mrs. Liu also stood up and suddenly asked: "May I ask Mr. Shao Lang, do you still lock the city now?"

"That's not true. The city gate has been opened today and there are no soldiers patrolling the streets. That's why I came here to report the news."

Mrs. Liu nodded and turned around to leave. Only Xu Xian and the old soldier who was guarding the door were left in the back hall. The old soldier smiled and said, "Let's go. With your glory, I can live my life."

Seeing that his face was relaxed and did not look like he was in danger, Xu Xian doubted: "Old man, can you tell me the truth, is there really someone watching outside?"

"Why are you lying to me? Otherwise, I would have an old man and an old soldier guarding the door, and all the young guards would be sent out, but none of them would come back."

"But you don't look scared at all."

"It's better to die than to live, how can I not be afraid!" He said, patting the big horizontal knife on his waist, "But I have killed many people, and now I have nothing to complain about being killed. My head is as big as a bowl."

It's a scar.

It's a pity that the lady and the young master in the house are all good people and they shouldn't end up like this. I don't know how the Taiwei is doing in Hebei. I just hate that the Liu family has no conscience. The Taiwei has sold half his life to his family in vain. Such a person can't

It’s not going to end well.”

Lao Lu went to the kitchen and ordered wine and meat, and took Xu Xian to eat and drink under the porch. Seeing Xu Xian keep looking out from the crack of the door, he said: "How can I let you see it? Didn't you see the house in front of me?"

There is a hole facing our door, which is where our house is monitored. If you go out and cannot walk a hundred steps, you will be shot to death by random arrows, or your head will be chopped off."

"There is no hole! Didn't I walk in well?" Xu Xian still can't accept that he has trapped himself in this situation.

"Hehe... If you're not afraid, just go out and try. I'd say they're probably just staring at the back door and side door. The front door let you sneak in because they were negligent for a moment, but they won't be negligent all the time. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. You can go out and try.

Give it a try, and if you lose, I will give you all my wealth."

"Gamble with your own life? I won't do it!" Xu Xian shook his head and sat back on the stool.

"You're so precious that you didn't rush in without thinking. You're too stupid. Drink a bowl with the old man. When you're happy, I'll teach you two tricks. When they come in, if you can kill one, your death will be considered not in vain. Kill two.

It’s a profit.”

Only these veterans who have been in battle think this way, their lives are gone, and it is useless to kill ten thousand people.

The two of them were talking when they saw Mrs. Liu coming over with a horse. Two small boxes were tied with ropes on both sides of the horse. "Young Master hasn't left yet. He really wants to live and die with my Guo family."

.”

"If I don't hide it from you, Madam, I don't dare to leave!"

Mrs. Liu patted the horse beside her and said: "This is the Taiwei's horse. It's just because Xiao Chao couldn't go to Hebei with the Taiwei. If Xiaolangjun wants to leave, he can ride on this horse and go out."

We will go straight to the Cao Gate from the gate of the mansion, rush out with horses and whips, and maybe there will be a glimmer of hope."

"Seriously! Well, why don't you ride away on your own."

"Except for me, an old soldier with a lame leg and a broken arm, there are only women, children, and useless maids and servants left in the mansion. No one knows how to ride, and I won't leave either."

"Young Master, please don't hesitate. It's already getting late, and maybe the emperor can't wait until tonight before he takes action. If you can escape, it's not in vain that you took the risk to inform the Guo family. It's just that.

I beg you to gallop to Yedu and tell Taiwei and Langjun not to fall into the imperial court’s plot. If they are fine, my Guo family will be safe. If they are unlucky, just ask them to avenge the Guo family.”

Xu Xian knew that both Guo Wei and Chai Rong were safe and sound, but everyone in the Guo family was still dead. He didn't want to die and hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I won't refuse, Xiao Ke. If I can escape Bianliang, I will definitely go to Yedu."

Xu Xian was taught how to ride a horse by Lao Zhang, so he spent a lot of money to supplement his foal's foal. However, his riding skills were not yet proficient. He could only ride a horse at a trot, but he didn't care about that much at the moment.

He pointed to the two small wooden boxes on the horse's back, "What are these?"

Mrs. Liu opened one of them and saw that it was full of gold, silver, pearls and jade. Xu Xian said hurriedly: "Thank you madam for your kindness. I won't take these with you when you escape. You're so weird."

"This is the key to your escape!" Mrs. Liu said, then came to Xu Xian and muttered softly.

Xu Xian couldn't help but praise: "Madam is very clever. If you can survive, it's all thanks to my clever plan!"

Xu Xian got on the horse, and Mrs. Liu ordered the servants to open the door suddenly. The veteran slapped the horse hard on the butt, and the painful horse jumped out.

The horse hit the ground with its front hooves and almost threw Xu Xian off. When Xu Xian pulled the reins of the horse tightly and turned around, he saw a loud shout from the opposite courtyard, and many soldiers half-lengthly exposed from behind the courtyard wall, holding long weapons in their hands.

Just nock an arrow from your bow and shoot.

When Xu Xian was panicking, he saw Mrs. Liu rushing out with a group of servants, raising her arms to block Xu Xian and the horse behind her, "Quickly go!" Mrs. Liu took out the hairpin and scratched the horse's belly.

The horse neighed and ran away.

When Xu Xian came to his senses, there was already a scream behind him, and his eyes couldn't help but heat up, "This favor is too big again!"

This horse was indeed a steed running faster and faster. The saddle kept slapping Xu Xian's ass with the ups and downs of the horse. Xu Xian felt that his coccyx was about to crack, and his stomach was so full that he almost vomited out his internal organs.

It seems that my riding skills are still far from enough.

He could only hold the horse's neck tightly to prevent himself from falling. The horse's reins were useless, and he grabbed the mane with one hand and tried to adjust the direction when necessary. His movements were actually unnecessary, and the horse did not need to be taken care of at all.

Then he went straight to Dongcao Gate.

There were not many pedestrians on the street. The sound of the huge horse's hooves on the stone road attracted attention. Dongcao Gate was seen from a distance. Xu Xian hugged the horse's neck tightly with one hand and took out a dagger from his arms with the other hand.

Knocking the horse's belly violently, the horse neighed and ran faster and faster, with only the whistling wind in his ears.

You can ride horses in the city. For example, when Zhao Kuangyin was a child, he rode a horse and crashed into the city gate. He was either a soldier or a boy in the army, but there were few people in the city who could ride as fast as Xu Xian.

The soldiers in the city gate were immediately alert when they heard the rapid sound of horse hooves. They stood up from the wall in a hurry and shouted loudly: "Stop! Which army is it?"

While they were talking, the horse was already approaching. Seeing that Xu Xian had no intention of stopping, one of the leading soldiers raised his gun and aimed at Xu Xian on the horse. At this time, the stabbing horse would be killed by inertia.

Xu Xian raised his sword to block, flicked his spear away, and slashed towards the soldier's neck. It was only because the horse was walking too fast or the weapon was too short that the sword missed the target. A sudden light flashed in front of his eyes.
