Only the waist badge of Gao Qian, the Minister of Rites, appeared once at the South City Gate.
The officers subconsciously believed that these people were fleeing south, and sent their pursuers to pursue them south.
But what they didn't expect was that the person who came out of the south gate was Tang Liu'er this morning, six or seven hours later.
Even if they pursue with all their strength, they will never be able to catch up with Tang Liu'er before she crosses the Haihe River.
As for Nan Yanxi and Xu Yan, who had gone out with the officials, they headed east.
The two of them were going to a tributary of the Haihe River, where they would take a boat and take the waterway directly to the Nanhai Navy Barracks.
Before that, Nan Yanxi had also taken care of Li Qi on the south bank of the Haihe River, asking him to lead his army to cooperate with his actions.
The troops were almost repaired and everything was ready to launch an all-out attack on Nan Zhao immediately.
...
The backyard of Gaofu.
Gao Xiaofan was hugging a beautiful little maid, lying on the bed and sleeping happily.
The chaos in the city seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Good wine, good meat, and good beauties, to him, these are the most important things and the things worth worrying about.
Today, because of the Chunxiang Tower incident, Gao Qian has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
Although it was not his fault, Gao Fu was his butler after all, and he was holding official documents and badges signed by him.
Helpless, Gao Qian had no choice but to personally take the officials from the Ministry of Etiquette and help the Kyoto Yamen to search everywhere.
But after all, the Ministry of Rites is not a government office that needs too many staff, so Gao Qian also transferred most of the nursing homes in his mansion.
At this time, the defense of the entire Gaofu backyard was at its most lax.
There was only one guard left outside the door of the room where Gao Xiaofan was, leaning drowsily against a pillar.
In the room, Gao Xiaofan, who had just had fun with his beautiful maid last night, was sleeping happily.
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound outside the door.
Gao Xiaofan frowned, turned over with a murmur, and did not forget to squeeze the soft and smooth thing in his hand.
"Who is it? Are you disturbing my sweet dream, Master?"
"Hey... Yanei? It's me...!"
A mean voice came from outside the door. Gao Xiaofan was sleeping in a daze at this time and was a little unresponsive.
After all, for a dandy like him, there are too many scoundrels and scoundrels following behind him.
Just as he was about to ask who it was, he heard the man outside the door say in a mean voice: "I am from Zhang Daming's house."
"My master has returned to Daxia on important matters, and the ladies themselves are very scared in the yard."
"I want to invite Yanei to come over and talk and have a drink!"
"Huh?!" As soon as these words came out, Gao Xiaofan woke up instantly and sat up with excitement.
"What? A beautiful woman invites you... is there any reason not to go?"
Without thinking about it, he pushed the little maid away from his arms, turned over and got out of bed.
He didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he took three steps at a time and arrived at the door.
