The Story of Leaping from the Dragon Gate

Song Wei followed behind Dugu Li, carefully looking around and walked out.

Because the eldest lady is going out, and she is going to join the ladies of Cheng Guogong's mansion to participate in the annual orchid harvesting event, so the driving should not be sloppy.Qin Xian went to the front yard to organize the accompanying guards.

Li Yi took two guards to make pills in the other room, while the three guards in the courtyard were taking advantage of the absence of the Sixth Highness, hooking their shoulders, talking and laughing in a low voice, watching the mating of pigeons on the spot, completely not paying attention to the eldest son taking someone Sneaky came out of the room and walked across the courtyard to the gate.

The eldest son came out as soon as he delivered a fish tank, so Dangui and Yuegui waited at the door.When Song Wei and Dugu La came close, the gate guards were surrounding the two beauties, making jokes, laughing and teasing, their eyes gleaming and their mouths drooling, no one could bear to look away.Song Wei just glanced at it, and concluded that the eldest lady's internal beauty trick was very effective.He dodges out of the courtyard door and hides behind the big tree by the wall.

Dugu waited for him to hide before walking over.Two maidservants greeted them, greeted the guards and said goodbye.The three of them turned around to leave, when an older guard asked, "Hey, where is Zhao Jing? Young Master, why didn't Zhao Jing come out?"

Dugu said: "Brother Song asked him to find food for the carp."

This explanation makes perfect sense, the guard nodded without any doubt.

Dugu Lai took Dangui Yuegui to the inner courtyard, and the guards followed the backs of the two beauties with longing eyes, and it took a long time before they turned back.Song Wei leaned against the wall and moved forward until he was out of the guard's field of vision before meeting Dugu Li.Passing by a rockery, Dugu Lai took him to hide there. Under the rock was a ready-made servant's clothes. The two moved quickly, and they disguised Song Wei from head to toe, and turned Song Wei into a young lady in the inner courtyard who went out with the eldest lady. one of the servants.

When the eldest lady of the Xianhou Mansion goes out, she has her own car and guard of honor.Dugu Ying, the well-known maidservant and the old nanny got into the carriage in the inner courtyard, and got close to the servants who rode on horseback to protect them, holding up the banners in their hands to cover them, and another servant followed behind with outdoor supplies.When a group of people arrive at the front yard, the guards will follow the rules and surround them from front to back, left and right, forming a mighty queue to escort the eldest lady out.

The step curtain was originally a rule of etiquette, designed to observe the great defense of men and women.When traveling on the way, it is folded and held high, fluttering like colorful flags.Unfold when staying, several pieces are connected end to end, forming a curtain with good privacy.One is style, and the other is convenience.

It is said that Duguying has not yet left the cabinet, and she is not yet a serious adult in terms of age. The concubine takes the responsibility of upbringing and never lets her go out alone.It's just that this trip was to meet someone from Cheng Guogong's mansion. The concubine in Xianhou's mansion was originally a dowry maid by the lady of Cheng Guogong's mansion, and it was an open secret of the aristocratic class.Since she was promoted, she has always tried to avoid face-to-face encounters with her original master, so as not to embarrass each other.What's more, when he arrived at the place, he would be taken care of by the young wife and the eldest lady's aunt of the Duke of Cheng's mansion, so he didn't have to worry about it.

Dugu Lai took Song Wei along, guarding the main road in the atrium that must pass from the inner courtyard to the front courtyard.

Dugu Ying's motorcade came out on time, Dugu Lai rushed to the front to stop him, but Dangui Yuegui couldn't catch him, so she kept yelling anxiously: "Young Master! Young Master!"

Dugu Lai's voice became louder: "Sister! Sister! Xiao Li is going too! You can take Xiao Li there..."

The carriage stopped, Dugu Ying opened the door, looked at his younger brother with a straight face: "Xiao Lai! Shouldn't you be at Master Yang's place right now?"

Duguli began to snark: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

He has been resentful for a long time, and now he is performing completely in his true colors, without any falsehood.For a moment everyone's attention was drawn to him.

Song Wei had spotted the four gray hooves that belonged to Deda behind a certain fence near her side, and it was impossible to admit her mistake.Taking advantage of Dugu Lai's cover, he seized the opportunity to sneak in.The servant who was originally riding on De Da immediately replaced him on the horse, handed him the rifle in his hand, and quietly retreated to the end.The servants next to him saw this scene and turned sideways to block the sight of others.

Here, Dugu Lai and her sister bargained softly and hard, and finally reached an agreement.Duguying promised to send someone to Dongshi to buy a set of newly popular three-color zodiac dolls for him, and the little guy finally calmed down.

The carriage restarted and came to the front yard.The guards had already been waiting here, and surrounded them in a fixed position.Song Wei hid herself firmly behind the curtain, and heard Qin Xian's voice commanding his subordinates, just a few feet away.

It is impossible for the eldest lady to dispatch the guards of the East courtyard.Song Wei was relieved, he didn't know any of these people.

The team walked out of the Hou's mansion smoothly and headed southeast without any haste.

As the capital city, Yuancheng is as large as three western capitals.Generally speaking, the terrain is high in the west and low in the east.However, the northwest is flat and the southeast is rugged. Military institutions are mostly located in the northwest, but the beautiful scenery is concentrated in the southeast, and the imperial city is located south of the center.The Lianjiang River flows outside the city, and several tributary rivers in the city intersect to form several lakes.There are also three or two hills and peaks dotted among them. Although the absolute height is limited, they are tall and steep, forming a natural danger, which is quite impressive.

When Emperor Taizong moved the capital, he had money and food in his hands, and hills and valleys in his chest. He rode a horse and ran around the boundary of Yuancheng. Wherever the horseshoes went, it was the place where the city wall was built. Let the people of Kyoto do not have to go out of the city to enjoy the beautiful natural scenery.

According to the usual practice, the place where noble ladies worship orchids is on the bank of Luoxia Lake, the largest and most beautiful lake in the southeast.And Dongshi, where you can buy high-end toys, has to go further north.

The team walked for more than half an hour, and they were almost at the meeting place agreed with the ladies of Cheng Guogong's mansion.Walking to a fork in the main road, Xiang Jin, a maid beside Dugu Ying, suddenly opened the curtains of the car, revealing her face.Song Wei's position was right next to the car window, and she said to him, "The young miss ordered to go to Dongshi to buy the young master, do you know what it is?"

Song Wei nodded.

"If you don't go any further, let's go through here. After buying, go straight back to the house and present it to the eldest son." Then, he handed over a money bag, and told him, "Be careful, don't buy the wrong one. "

Song Wei bowed her head in response, stuffed the money bag into her bosom and put it away.The servant who had retreated to the back rode over and took the saber in his hand.Song Wei reined in the reins, and everyone naturally passed him and went forward.When the guard at the back of the hall passed by and questioned, Song Wei bowed and bowed his head, repeating the maid's order, the guard nodded in understanding, and continued to move forward.

Song Wei watched Duguying's convoy drift away, her mind was in a trance, she couldn't believe that she just walked out of Xianhou Mansion.

All kinds of sounds became clear in his ears, and he slowly saw the buildings and pavilions on both sides, as well as pedestrians and vehicles on the road.

So lively, yet so strange.

Looking back and forth, left and right, it seemed that he had finally confirmed that he had finally become a person again.

No time to think about it, to identify the direction, and go south.

The map drawn by Dugu Ying has long been imprinted in his mind, but the streets of the capital are far from being as horizontal and vertical as the Western Capital, neat and square.I didn't go far, and I became a little confused.After asking twice on the way, Song Wei was convinced that she was getting closer to the Suzaku Gate in the south of the city.He really wanted to ride his horse and gallop, but the thoroughfare was full of people, if he ran fast, accidents would happen, and haste makes waste.

Song Wei walked forward patiently.He had in his mind the most daring and most adventurous plan, and it all depended on God's success.He named it Plan A.

Eighty miles away from the Suzaku Gate, the main gate of Nancheng, it is the largest and most important port in the lower reaches of the Lianjiang River, and it is also the last riverside port before entering the sea.There, there must be ocean-going cargo ships that go directly to sea.

For eighty miles, if Ruodeda runs at full speed, it will only take half a day.As long as you get on a big ship that goes down the river and goes directly to the sea at the port, at this time tomorrow, you will probably already be on the deck blowing the sea breeze and watching the sea view.

This is the riskiest and most thorough solution.

When thinking of this plan, Song Wei was at a loss more than once.He knew that the prospect of too much freedom must be followed by a wandering emptiness.However, in the hesitation and hesitation again and again, when things came to an end, he still regarded it as the first choice.It was as if some kind of instinctive fear drove him, just trying to escape from all the things in front of him, turning a blind eye to the empty and rootless future.

Now that you have decided to leave, let's go far away and never see you again.

Song Wei asked all the way and drove all the way, the majestic and tall city tower came into view, and the flow of people entering and leaving the city gate was endless.He couldn't help but tightened his grip on the horse's belly, urging Deda to speed up.However, it was approaching noon at this moment, which was the peak time for Yuan Ke to enter the city, so he couldn't get up quickly.

Seeing that the attire of the soldiers defending the city could be seen clearly, Song Wei's heart beat a little faster involuntarily, and sweat broke out from the palms holding the reins tightly.

"Boom, boom, boom!" There was a rush of drums, and the flow of people quickly parted.The people in Gyeonggi are of high quality, and they immediately knew that this was a signal to clear the way for the Suwei army to dispatch urgently, so they voluntarily avoided it immediately.Those country bumpkins from other places also hid on the side of the road, stretching their necks to watch the excitement.

The Suwei army took on the important task of guarding the capital, and their soldiers and horses were very skilled, but in a short while, a team of troops arrived in front of them.The wide stone avenue is clean and tidy, only the sound of horseshoes can be heard densely and crisply, but there is no dust.

Hearing the sound of the drum, Song Wei got off the horse.Then he backed away slowly and quietly, hiding behind a group of tall men.He watched helplessly as the group of soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city tower, separated into a column and blocked the door, and the rest did not stop for a moment, they sped up their horses and rushed straight out of the city.

The leader of the remaining soldiers negotiated a few words with the guards of the original city gate, and the main gate was quickly closed, leaving only two side gates, one for entering and the other for exiting.There is no restriction on entering the city, but there are horizontal bars on the side going out of the city.

Three drums sounded, and everyone was silent.The leader of the soldiers rode on the horse and shouted loudly: "The guards are arresting fugitives, and only those who are found to be unsuspected after interrogation can leave the city!"

After the voice fell, the city gate continued to enter and exit.Entering the city will not be affected, and the side of the city will start queuing up and accept interrogation one by one.

Song Wei felt that this group of people was looking for him.After watching for a while, he stepped back without a trace.Seeing the right time, he followed a large group of people who were inviting friends and companions into the city, and turned around and walked into the city.

Forbidden by God, the success fell short, Plan A died halfway, and Plan B was temporarily launched.

Inexplicably, he didn't feel too depressed, but instead felt a subtle sense of relief.The population outside the city is far less complex than that inside the city, and the stranded outsiders can easily attract attention.Once out of the city, there is only one way to go straight to the port and board a boat to go to sea, which is also the most ruthless and absolute way.At this moment, forced to give up due to external force majeure, Song Wei felt a little lost, but also felt that it was expected and prepared.

He followed a group of people out a long way.Although the city gate was sealed, there was still no movement in the city.Calculating the time, it has been less than two hours since he slipped out of the Hou's mansion, and Dugu's movements are fast enough.Because he took the horse away, his first guess was that he must have left the city.It is reasonable and reasonable to block the gates of the city first and go out of the city to hunt them down.

Seeing a dirty and crippled homeless man sitting by the side of the road, Song Wei walked over and squatted down, took out two copper coins and stuffed them into his hands.

"Brother, can you help me?"

The homeless man weighed up the copper coins and grinned, "What's the matter, brother?"

"Brother doesn't mind, please take a step to talk."

The two turned into a remote alley, Song Wei patted herself, and then looked at each other: "I want to change outfits with Big Brother, will it work?"

He was wearing the uniform of the servants of the inner court of the Hou Mansion, the style was simple and elegant, and the material was better than ordinary people's everyday clothes.

The homeless man was taken aback and couldn't believe it: "You mean...the clothes you are wearing, and mine?"

"That's exactly what I mean." Song Wei sneered, "You and I met by chance, so you don't need to hide it. I... had an affair with the mistress, was found out, and escaped. I wanted to use my elder brother's outfit to avoid disaster. Do a good job that day."

The homeless man froze for a moment, looked him over, and immediately believed him.He smiled and said, "Success, why not!"

The two exchanged clothes in threes and fives.Song Wei didn't dislike it at all, and put on the clothes that were so dirty that they couldn't see their true color and had a strange smell.In the end, he thoroughly removed the old blood-stained leggings of the homeless man and put them on his own legs, then grabbed the plaster and smeared it on his face and hands, and imitated the other person's way of walking with his lame legs, vividly and funny. The man laughed out loud.

After refitting, Song Wei climbed onto the horse's back, touched his head, "Oh, you're the only one left, hurry up, let's dye it in an avant-garde color."
