Xiang Shaolong no longer cared about revealing his identity and hurried towards the north gate.
If he guessed correctly, the reason why those children called him "robber" was because they had seen a reward notice posted somewhere and recognized his image, so they had such a reaction.
Now he has become a public enemy of the Wei people. If those children go home and tell their parents that they have seen him, it will not take a moment to alarm the entire Daliang City.
So now if he doesn't leave the city immediately, he will miss the opportunity and be unable to fly.
At this time, he had no time to blame himself for his negligence. Fortunately, the sky began to cover with dark clouds again. When the city gate was in sight, snowflakes were flying all over the sky, providing him with some cover.
When he reached a position where he could clearly observe the city gate, he hid behind a big tree by the road and waited for the opportunity to leave the city.
I saw about thirty defenders at the city gate, conducting routine inspections of people and vehicles entering and exiting, but they did not appear to be particularly cautious and strict.
Xiang Shaolong relaxed and looked for opportunities.
If he encounters a team of mules and horses like the one that came into the city last time, he can easily leave the city.
I only regretted that after staying for nearly half an hour, not only were there no carriages and horses leaving the city, but there were only a few business travelers.
It's really not a good time to go out when it's freezing cold. There are few travelers, so it's the most reasonable thing to do.
At this moment, the rapid sound of hoofbeats sounded loudly.
A group of more than a hundred Wei cavalrymen galloped forward, and when they arrived at the city gate, they all dismounted, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
In the wind and snow, Xiang Shaolong faintly heard someone mention his name.
My heart sank.
What he least expected to happen finally happened.
The people of Wei knew that he was in the city, but he could not leave in time.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier.
After Xiang Shaolong bought some small tools at a copper and iron shop, he sneaked back into the warehouse and hid. Then he tampered with the bottom of the saddle and hid a sharp small saw and two thin iron branches in the hollowed out
He then glued the bottom layer back on to the soles of the shoes. Unless someone took off the shoes, there was no way he could find anything inside. He didn't know what the purpose of these gadgets was yet, but they were just a precautionary measure.
When everything was done, Qiulin came again.
Xiang Shaolong hid and stubbornly ignored her call.
After Qiulin left in disappointment, he waited patiently. At dusk, he left the warehouse and returned to the snowy streets.
From time to time, Wei troops passed by on the road, and checkpoints were set up at the entrance to interrogate passers-by.
Xiang Shaolong knew that the Wei people had launched a strict and thorough search, so he used the hook rope to climb the wall and cross the house. After many hardships, he arrived at the unique royal road of Wei State.
I saw that the green locust trees lined up on both sides like soldiers standing guard had all their branches and leaves fallen, replaced by crystal ice.
Xiang Shaolong's ears still seemed to be ringing with Lord Xinling's words introducing the imperial way, and his voice and smile appeared in his mind.
Thinking that the locust trees are still there and the people are completely disfigured, I can't help but feel a sense of heartbreak and soul-crushing.
I just wonder if Mrs. Pingyuan is well? A sound of hoofbeats shocked his affectionate reply.
Xiang Shaolong gathered his mood, took advantage of the cover of the windy and snowy night, and sneaked towards the palace area where the ministers' mansions were concentrated.
Since the people living here are either rich or expensive, there are no Wei soldiers patrolling and searching.
Xiang Shaolong used the skills of a special forces force to stop and run, turning left and right in the streets, sometimes slowly and sometimes quickly.
Finally he stopped in front of a magnificent mansion.
The door plaque is engraved with the four characters "Longyang Junfu".
Xiang Shaolong took a deep breath and ran along the wall towards the back house.
When I reached the backyard, I climbed over the wall and entered, making sure there were no patrolling dogs, so I dropped to the ground.
He was not in a hurry to find Long Yangjun. After seeing clearly the situation in the yard, he picked a big tree against the wall, climbed up with his bare hands, shot out a hook, and hung it on the top of the outer wall.
After the arrangement was complete, all the Xuelang, daggers and other objects were placed on the branches of the tree.
Then he returned to the ground, dived through several buildings in one breath, and came to the large garden of the back house.
Due to the heavy snow, everyone in the house hid in the house, which provided him with great convenience.
He walked through the garden, followed a stone path, crossed a stone bridge, and came to a tall building.
Just by looking at the three-story building located in the middle of the backyard house and its overwhelming momentum, you can tell that this is where Long Yangjun lives.
It was already midnight, but lights were shining through the three floors, and voices could still be heard faintly.
Xiang Shaolong tiptoed to a window on the side of the building and peered in quietly.
Inside was a hall, and two servant boys were sitting by the door, yawning.
When he saw this scene, he knew that Lord Long Yang had not come back yet. So these two poor servants had to wait with their eyes open for their master to return home.
Lord Long Yang naturally knew about the news that Xiang Shaolong had come to Daliang, and he might be discussing the matter with Wang Zeng in the palace right now.
Xiang Shaolong pondered for a long time, then made up his mind and climbed up with his bare hands. When he reached the highest floor, he pushed the window and entered, arriving at what he thought was Long Yangjun's bedroom.
The layout of this room is very feminine, with a beautiful couch and drooping tent, and it is also diffused with incense, making the room full of spring.
Under the illumination of an oil lamp on the table by the window, the interior is elegantly furnished. One of the shelves is filled with knick-knacks, but the sword hanging on the wall shows the owner's martial spirit.
Xiang Shaolong unceremoniously opened the curtain and lay down on the couch, then fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of footsteps woke him up.
Xiang Shaolong sat up and stared at the door that was opening.
Long Yangjun walked into the room like he was dragging a heavy weight under his feet and said: "You guys go to sleep."
The boy behind him responded and went off on his own.
Long Yangjun walked in blankly and sighed "Youyou".
Xiang Shaolong whispered: "Your Majesty"
Long Yangjun's delicate body shook violently, and he looked inside the tent in shock.
Xiang Shaolong opened the tent and came out with a low smile: "Your Majesty, you are fine."
Long Yangjun's beauty turned pale and he said: "Shaolong, you are really here."
Xiang Shaolong made a silent gesture and whispered: "Don't alarm anyone."
Long Yangjun came back to his senses and said sadly: "Shaolong, why did you come to Daliang and expose Xingzang? Now the king has transferred a division of 20,000 elite soldiers from outside the city, and they are going from house to house and alley to search for you. Where is the trace?"
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Your Majesty seems to have forgotten that he is able to be where he is today and marry his beloved beauty, all because of me, Xiang Shaolong."
Long Yangjun's "Xiu Eyes" flashed an extremely complicated expression, and said with a wry smile: "In order to save everything he has now, the king would even sacrifice his parents, let alone you." He sighed again and said: "Shaolong, you are too much. It's so powerful that it scares us. Now the six countries have realized that if Xiang Shaolong is around, we will be in danger of being unable to defend our territory. Under the shadow of the destruction of our country and our family, if we put ourselves in his shoes, Shaolong, please tell us what should we do?"
Xiang Shaolong looked deeply into his eyes and said calmly: "What about you, Lord Long Yang?"
Long Yangjun trembled slightly and said, "Even if I have to lose my life, I will still have no hesitation towards Shaolong."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Your Majesty did not disappoint me, Xiang Shaolong. Now I have no relatives in Daliang. Only Your Majesty can send me out of the city without anyone noticing."
Long Yangjun said: "Where are you going?"
Xiang Shaolong pondered for a while and replied: "I want to go to Zhao State. I am much familiar with that environment. It will be much easier to return to Qin State. Hey, is there any way to get something to eat and drink first?"
Lord Long Yang said: "This is easy. I'll ask my servants to get some food. Just pretend that I'm hungry."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Don't alarm anyone, just some water and cakes."
Long Yangjun was shocked and said: "Don't you even trust the slave family?"
Xiang Shaolong apologized: "Don't worry too much, but it's always good to be careful. Is there anyone else in this building now?"
Long Yangjun replied: "There are only two boys. It's time to sleep on the second floor. You stay here for a while, and I will go downstairs to get some cakes for you." After that, he opened the door and went.
Xiang Shaolong saw his hands trembling slightly when he walked out of the room, and sighed inwardly, knowing that he might have come by mistake this time.
Without Long Yangjun's help, he could not think of a way to escape from Daliang City.
At the moment, he had to be careful that Lord Long Yang wanted someone to arrest him. Fortunately, he had foreseen this possibility and left a way for him to escape quickly.
With a thought in his heart, he pushed the window and climbed out. When he came downstairs, Long Yangjun had just returned to his coat.
Through the window, I saw Lord Long Yang weeping silently in the hall. He fetched a small bottle from somewhere, poured some powder from the bottle, and poured it into the tea cup.
When Xiang Shaolong saw this "good friend"'s actions, his hands and feet became cold and he deeply regretted his trip.
But he had no choice, so he came to find Long Yangjun. And until now, he still didn't blame Long Yangjun for betraying him.
After a while, Xiang Shaolong returned to Long Yangjun's boudoir on the third floor, pretending to be calm and waiting for him to come back.
After wiping away his tears, Long Yangjun pushed open the door and walked in. The tray he held contained the cup of sweetened tea and several exquisite pastries.
The two of them sat down at a long table in a corner. Xiang Shaolong wolfed down the pastries and suddenly pretended to be listening, saying in a deep voice: "It seems like someone is coming."
Long Yangjun frowned and said, "Why would anyone come?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "I seemed to hear someone outside the window just now, please see if I heard it correctly."
Lord Long Yang did not doubt that he was there, so he stood up and moved to the window.
Xiang Shaolong took the opportunity to move the tea in the cup between the floor mat and the foot of the wall, and then put it back on the cup.
Long Yangjun looked left and right, but found nothing. He returned to the table, sat down and said, "There is no one."
Xiang Shaolong sighed: "This is called the shadow of a snake in a cup. Now when I hear the slightest movement, I feel like the pursuers are coming." After saying that, he picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
Lord Long Yang had a look of sadness in his eyes and remained speechless.
Xiang Shaolong patted his belly and said, "How is Li Mu's counterattack against Zhongmu going?"
Long Yangjun smiled bitterly and said: "You should know better than me. Except for you, who can capture Zhongmou as easily as a flip-flop? I heard that Li Mu also lost a group of people for you. Now it's snowing heavily, Qin It is difficult for reinforcements to come from the east. When the spring comes and the flowers bloom, Li Mu will have no choice but to retreat to the Great Wall as soon as the Qin army arrives."
Xiang Shaolong put aside his worries, touched his forehead, and said curiously: "I wonder if I am too tired, I am a little drowsy."
Long Yangjun said in a low voice: "Then get some sleep and I will try to send you outside the city tomorrow."
Xiang Shaolong pretended to be struggling to stand up, and Long Yangjun helped him to sleep on the couch.
He groaned twice and pretended to be unconscious.
After Long Yangjun called him twice, he lay on him and cried for a while, sighing: "Young dragon, don't blame me. For the sake of Wei, I have no other choice."
After Long Yangjun opened the door, Xiang Shaolong jumped up and left quickly.
When he climbed over the wall and fell to the ground, Xiang Shaolong felt extremely lonely and helpless.
The best place to hide now is the palace. Because the palace is strictly forbidden and there are many people there, no one dares to search.
However, he was deterred by the extremely high walls and moats of the palace.
Thinking of this, my heart moved, and I remembered the familiar mansion where Lord Xinling lived before his death and the tunnel below.
Although Wei Wuji was taken to be buried with him by King Anli, the mansion is still there. It would be better if the owner changed, because maybe the new owner had no idea about the tunnels below.
Those who dared to hesitate took advantage of the heavy snow to rush towards the Xinling Lord's Mansion not far away.
If he were Lord Longyang, he would never make it public if he saw him missing. He would have to swallow the whole thing by swallowing coptis. Otherwise, Wei Wangzeng might punish Lord Longyang for dereliction of duty.
.
About half an hour later, he came to the dense forest outside the south wall of Lord Xinling's Mansion and found the entrance to the tunnel.
Thinking of the day when she escaped from here with the beautiful third princess Zhao Qian on her back, and even more reminded of her gentle temperament, which was not tainted by Zhao Palace's dirty vibe at all, all sorts of feelings suddenly came to her mind.
Heartbroken, he touched the edge of the iron cover at the tunnel entrance and tentatively lifted it up.
The iron plate rises at your fingertips.
Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but stay on the spot.
He just wanted to give it a try, and didn't think he could really pull off the block.
All tunnels are designed for people to escape in times of crisis, so they can only be opened from the inside. In the current situation, it seems that someone escaped from here, but no one locked the exit from the inside afterwards. Only from this
With a little extrapolation, we can see that the mansion has been replaced by new people, and they don't know about the existence of the tunnel.
Xiang Shaolong was overjoyed, got in and closed the entrance.
He took out the flint from his bag and lit the candle.
Under the light of the flickering flames, the tunnel extended infinitely.
Xiang Shaolong remembered the copper pipe that connected the tunnel to Lord Xinling's bedroom, so he walked lightly and tiptoed towards the other end.
I paid special attention this time and realized that in addition to the exit leading to the small building where Mr. Shao Yuan lived back then, there were three other exits, which of course led to different houses in the mansion. After walking for more than ten feet, I suddenly felt something.
Look on the ground.
Two ingots of clear yellow gold reflected the light of the fire.
Xiang Shaolong leaned over, picked it up, put it in his hand, and felt enlightened.
On that day, Lord Xinling was given poisoned wine and knew that he would not be able to escape the catastrophe, so he ordered his concubines and confidants to take treasures from the underground treasure house and escape through the exit at one end of the dense forest near the stone mountain.
It can be imagined that at that time, everyone was so distraught that they fled for their lives in a hurry, and they were not even aware that the gold was left behind.
He, Xiang Shaolong, is currently in debt. Having these two ingots of gold will make a big difference. At least he can easily buy a horse for transportation.
Put the gold into your bag, move on, and finally come to the open door of the treasure house.
It was a mess inside, with half of the portable items such as gold, silver, and jewelry left. The rest were large-scale treasures such as jade horses, Dou tripods, and weapons. Their quantity was enough to make a heavyweight in the 21st century.
Antiquities exhibition.
Oil lamps were set up on all four walls of the room, and a large bottle filled with fuel was placed in one corner. Xiang Shaolong felt happy, blew out the fire, and sat down against the wall in the room where he couldn't see his fingers.
At least at this moment he was absolutely safe.
But how can he escape from the capital of Wei? There are still more than two months of severe winter before it passes. Can he hide in this dark place for more than two months? If he has to go out to steal food every day,
No matter how many mountains you climb, you will eventually encounter a tiger. Sooner or later, people will wake you up.
But now he had no time to think about these troublesome questions.
Only in his dreamland can he have fun with his beloved wife and children who are thousands of miles away.
For them, he must fight to the end and go back alive to meet them.
