Chapter 345: Missed
Li Xiao was sitting there for an hour. Lian Zhongwen held his hand and stood on one side. Although his face was extremely anxious, he did not dare to make any noise. He had already reported to Li Xiao in advance. When he was about to reach the peak of his life, he suddenly realized that he had stepped on the air and had a cliff under his feet. Lian Zhongwen felt that if it were him, he would definitely collapse. But he could not see what Li Xiao was thinking about from Li Xiao's face.
I don’t know how long it took, Li Xiao finally stood up, faced the direction of Shangjing, knelt down, dongdongdong, he screamed nine times in a row, and when he stood up, his forehead was already covered with purple.
"Liang Zhongwen, go back and tell Nian Yun immediately, let us hide under Shangjing's command immediately, don't move anymore, and wait for my news." Li Xiao turned around and ordered.
"Yes, before I came, the Empress had already done this. There is only one line still active. This line is mainly for the Fourth Master to retreat safely." Lian Zhongwen replied.
"Let Nian Yun set off to the south, Huzhou, Binzhou, and Ezhou, although I was prepared for it, the form has deteriorated to this point. If there was no one in charge, I was worried that they would not be able to work together and be defeated by Li Jian one by one. The three southern states are the source of wealth of Dayue. If he controls him, Li Jian will be difficult."
"Yes!" Lian Zhongwen nodded, "Is there anything else to tell me about the Fourth Master?"
Li Xiao pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered something, "Li Jian's coup will definitely be closed to the capital. Nian Yun has such a big goal, how did he leave the city?"
Lian Zhongwen hesitated for a moment and finally told the story that happened to the Fourth Master's Mansion.
Li Xiao raised his head, not knowing whether he was crying or laughing on his face. Is this God's will? If Nian Yun didn't know about this, he would not leave Beijing, and he would not be able to send a message to himself in time. Maybe he would fall into the trap in the next step, but now that Nian Yun knew about this and reacted fiercely, how should he face her? Will she go to the south? You know, going to the south now is unpredictable. There are thousands of people in the three states that cannot be trusted, and Nian Yun will immediately be in trouble.
"Tell Nianyun, what happened to Yun Zhao. I will give her an explanation afterwards, but now, please help me no matter what."
"I understand!" Lian Zhongwen bowed and turned around and retreated.
After a while, Li Xiao left the door and said to his guard commander: "Go back!"
The escort commander named Lu Tong, a silent guard general. He was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Xiao's order. But he didn't ask why, and simply responded neatly.
Five hundred cavalrymen from the Taizhou border packed up and stopped at a very fast speed. After the assembly, Li Xiao's carriage also arrived at the door. Li Xiao walked up silently and took off the horses on the carriage. The horses that were pulling the carriage were all Shen Jun's war horses. At this time, they took off from the shaft of the carriage and were all happy neighing. The road understood Li Xiao's meaning and immediately saddled the horses. Li Xiao turned over and ran out of Bacheng City.
The county magistrate He Dayong of Ba County was called out from the warm bed. He was already full of anger, but when he heard that the Fourth Master was about to leave the city overnight, he immediately broke out in cold sweat. Could it be that he had neglected the master when he was hospitalized by Buzhou, and he ran out of the mansion in his official uniform. This is the Fourth Master who will be on the throne in the future. If he leaves a bad impression on himself, he will be gone.
When County Magistrate He ran to the city, there were only the wind and snow and the messy horse hoof prints at the city gate, and there were traces of Li Xiao and his group. Standing at the city gate, County Magistrate He was trembling. The opportunity was before him, but he missed it like this. God, give me another chance? I will definitely do better. He sighed to the sky and walked back dejectedly. With regret, he turned his head to look at the wind and snow, hoping that a miracle would happen, but nothing was left, except those messy horse hoofs. It seemed that he felt something was wrong, but at this time, County Magistrate He Dayong, who was full of annoyance, did not think much at all.
It was already bright, and the annoyed County Magistrate He was still sleeping. It was at this point and there was nothing to say. The days he should live had to be seen. When he came back from the city, he was cold all over his body and froze his concubine, and he couldn't help but complain. The annoyed County Magistrate He immediately vented all his evil fire on his concubine, causing trouble for the concubine who was nearly twenty years younger than him. However, County Magistrate He was almost fifty after all. This trouble also exhausted him and slept until he was noon before getting up.
But he was destined to be unfortunate today. The rare drum at the gate of the county government office sounded trembling all year round, which shocked Mr. He so much that he sat up from the bed and heard the drums. Although Mr. He was a little confused, he still remembered this. He lifted the quilt and jumped up naked, and hurriedly put on his clothes and pants. The concubine who worked hard last night was sleepy and vaguely saw the master getting up, acting coquettishly stretching out a pair of white arms, and pulling Mr. He’s equally white thighs. The master’s courage last night was unforgettable, but she hadn’t seen the master so fierce for a long time.
But she expressed her feelings wrong. He Tai jumped out of the bed bravely, dragging her concubine's white body out of the quilt and fell naked under the bed.
Grandpa He took his shoes and ran out, and the slander of the dead came from behind him.
Xu Enmao was very upset and regretted that he shouldn't have stayed there all night because of the heavy snow yesterday. He rushed to Ba County. Li Xiao, the fourth prince who should have been here, was gone. The people in the inn said that the Fourth Master had left last night. When he came to the county government office, the gate was still closed. Xu Enmao, who was angry, beat the drum hard. Finally, the heavy blow directly broke the big bulge face that had been around for many years. Listening to the hoarse voice, Xu Enmao threw the drumsticks to the ground, pointed to the gate of the government office, "Blasted him!"
As soon as Mr. He ran to the lobby, the yamen run out of the wing room with water and fire sticks. An unlucky guy was about to open the door when the door suddenly broke. The falling gate directly pressed the poor guy under the door. The two teams rushed in.
Mr. He was shocked and angry. Before he could say anything, he saw the clothes on the people who broke in. He immediately swallowed the words in his mouth, lifted his robes, and trotted all the way to the yard.
The person who broke in was wearing the uniform of a gatekeeper, and the leader was even dressed in the uniform of a guerrilla general. At the gate, a middle-aged man wearing a cloak was slowly walking in, stepping on the door panel. The door panel that had just moved a few times this time was completely silent.
"I wonder which noble man came to Ba County? The magistrate of Ba County He Dayong is polite." He Taiyong didn't know who this person was, but the person who could make the guards a guard may have a low status?
"Where has the Fourth Master gone?" The person who came had a dark face and his voice was deep.
He Dayong was shocked. He didn't know how to anger the Fourth Master last night, causing the Fourth Master to leave at night. These people must have come to pick up the Fourth Master from the capital. This time he was in trouble.
"The officials served the people in a bad position, which angered the Fourth Master. The Fourth Master left last night." He Dayong replied stammeringly.
"Last night? When?" Xu Enmao asked in surprise.
"Midnight just passed."
Someone came to report the letter to the Fourth Master! Xu Enmao frowned deeply, "Did someone come to the city last night?"
"Yes, yes!" He Dayong finally felt a little clearer. "Last night, the head of the county who was responsible for protecting the Fourth Master's safety reported that a person who claimed to be the Fourth Master's Mansion had come."
Xu Enmao turned around and left, and the soldiers of the prison guards behind him immediately followed. He Dayong, who was confused, looked at the backs of the group of people.
The poor yamen runner who was pressed under the door panel may have finally woken up from his coma, and the door panel began to shake again, obviously he was about to get up.
"Grandmaster, the court residence has arrived!" Outside the door, a fast horse ran to the place, and a yamen run over and dismounted, and it was like flying. By chance, he stepped on the slowly raised door panel again. A scream came from the door panel, and it was silent again.
He Dayong took the newspaper, looked at it for only a few seconds, and screamed, "How could this happen?"
Emperor Dayue passed away.
The eldest prince Li Jian succeeds to the throne!
He Dayong sat down on the ground, and had been in the officialdom for decades. Of course he knew what such a huge change meant? The original popular Fourth Master fell down and the old man took office. Of course, the Fourth Master was going to be in trouble. The problem is that the Fourth Master actually ran away from him. Uncle, no, what will the emperor now think of him?
He couldn't help but tremble all over, sat on the ground, and began to seriously consider whether he should leave with his crown.
Xu Enmao left Baxian County, his eyes fell in the direction of Taizhou, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Even if you know the news, can you still return to Taizhou?
"General Chen Feng laughed at him!" he shouted.
The general of the gatekeeper who came with him rode his horse to him. "Mr. Xu."
"You lead a team of people and go straight to Tongzhou, and you must not stop halfway. The Fourth Master will definitely need supplies along the way, and the speed will not be faster than you. After arriving in Tongzhou, he will work with Tongzhou Xiao Zhongze to set up a net of heaven and earth in Tongzhou."
"yes!"
"I will chase after you. If the Fourth Master has been with these cavalry all the time, he will definitely not be able to escape from Tongzhou. I am a little worried that he will leave alone, so it will be troublesome." Xu Enmao frowned and looked back at a servant in green next to him, "I hope your darkroom can plug all possible loopholes for us this time!"
The servant in Qingyi nodded, "Don't worry, Lord Xu, I'll go and arrange it now!" His voice was sharp, and he turned out to be a eunuch.
