The Story of Leaping from the Dragon Gate

Dugu Mian kowtowed to the emperor and came out, Yihou Wei Guan was waiting outside the bedroom door, waiting to explain the matter of finding the sixth prince.

Yihou was nearly ten years older than Xianhou, he was a bit pedantic, he was strict in doing things, serious and down-to-earth, loyal to the emperor, he was indeed the best candidate for the leader of the court guard.However, although the emperor entrusted him with the task of finding people, the main force of the search still had to rely on Dugu's former guards.Because the Suwei army undertakes the heavy responsibility of guarding the capital, and has the power to gallop around to arrest criminals.As for Dugu himself, he was thrown by the emperor to the northern suburbs for a training camp for the government guards guarding Gyeonggi.Such a staggered check and balance is not only the tradition of the Xianxi Dynasty, but also a system formed over several generations. Both Xianhou and Yihou recognized the emperor's arrangement.

Dugu Xian knew very well that he had undoubtedly lost the emperor's trust regarding Song Wei's matter.The person was lost in the Xianhou Mansion, and Dugu Ying and Dugu Lai were also involved.No matter how reasonable the process was, it was impossible for the emperor not to doubt it.After all, during the whole process from beginning to end, Xianhou's selfishness and personal feelings were always mixed in it.This point must have become the emperor's most dissatisfied.It's just that, apart from this, Xianhou is still a loyal and useful minister, and it is impossible to really alienate and depose.Indifference for a period of time, teach lessons, that's all.

It has to be said that until now, the emperor still lacks understanding of his youngest son who grew up in Kusano, so he far underestimated the difficulty of finding someone.

Dugu Mian did not intend to explain this to the emperor.

Originally, at the beginning, he spared no effort to devote himself physically and mentally, trying to get Song Wei back as soon as possible.No matter how secret Song Wei's identity is, more and more people will know about it.He seemed to be walking swiftly, and his body was recovering from a serious injury anyway.The thought of him fleeing outside alone made my heart hang uncontrollably.

After searching for three days without sleep, the emperor refused to let him look for it, and suddenly Dugu didn't want to look for it anymore.

Anyway, with his ability, it's not like anyone can find it if they want it.

If he wants to go, let him go...

"Lord Xianhou? Lord Xianhou!"

Dugu was absent-minded, Wei Guan called out several times before he came back to his senses.

"I'm sorry. What orders does Master Yihou have?"

His appearance made Wei Guan mistakenly think that he was unhappy that he had stepped in and robbed him of a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds.It was a great achievement for Marquis Xian to find the sixth prince who was living among the people, but he lost him because of poor care, and the result was not worth the effort.Coupled with the messy relationships I heard in the middle, I am afraid that it is possible to be rejected by the emperor from now on.If he finds the sixth prince back by himself, [-]% of the final credit will go to him, Yihou.Wei Guan has been oppressed by this Dugu Mian who is younger than him for many years, and now he can't help but feel refreshed, he only feels elated, and the day is just around the corner.

After all, he was born in a family, and his expression was well controlled.I want to say a few thoughtful words, but I am not good at it after all, so I said firmly: "The emperor's order is above, don't blame me."

Dugu's face was downcast: "I neglected my duty first, and I tired of my lord's hard work, how dare I have the slightest complaint? My lord must not misunderstand. Your majesty is wise, entrusting this matter to your lord is perfect."

Wei Guan hurriedly cupped his hands: "Xianhou's words are serious, serious words."

Looking at the other person's expression, remembering his special relationship with the sixth prince, he said again: "Don't worry, I will find the sixth prince back soon."

Wei Guan was deeply impressed by the sixth prince, but this impression was also very thin and one-sided.The first is beautiful.Such a beautiful young man will shine like the sun and the moon when placed in a crowd, and he can't hide even if he wants to.The second is willfulness.He has a hot temper, a poisonous mouth, and boldness, neither serious nor serious.Such people are usually not very good at patience, and may not be able to suffer.

To sum up, Wei Guan, like the emperor, does not think it is super difficult to find the sixth prince.Of course, it's not that an old Jianghu like Wei Guan is inaccurate, it's because Song Wei is too good at pretending to be a play.

Du Guqian bowed his hands to him in return: "Thank you, my lord. When I'm not in the capital, the guards are under the command of the deputy general Su Fang. I will explain to him properly, but Yihou has orders, and he will obey them."

In fact, it was Xianhou's personal guards, especially the two chief guards, Mou Ping and Qin Xian, who really took charge of the search these days.At this moment, Dugu Mian decided to give up and let go, and naturally all those people who were familiar with Song Wei were taken away.In the future, the emperor will search for whatever he likes, and he will just leave it to his fate.

Wei Guan didn't expect Dugu Mian to cooperate so much, and said: "I don't know how the Sixth Highness got lost? I'm afraid I have to go to the mansion to inquire and check. If I offended, please forgive me."

The emperor sent Yihou to take over, naturally because he is a reliable person who knows the inside story.Dugu's face had already been lost in front of people more than once, he waved his hands and said: "It's okay, it should be like this."

Going home to prepare for military training in the northern suburbs, Wei Guan questioned all the people who had served the sixth prince, as well as his son and daughter.

Wei Guan is an experienced person, summarizing the information he has collected, and thinks that the sixth prince may have already left the city.His reasons were very good: His Highness the Sixth Highness took away the horse, and it was still a good horse.His Highness the Sixth Highness has a decisive temperament and a straightforward temper. If he intends to leave, he will not hesitate to stay.It took nearly two hours between the time His Highness the Sixth Highness left the Hou's Mansion and the time when the guards sealed the city gate. If he moved quickly, it would be enough to run out of the city.Of course, it's also possible that he hasn't left the city yet - that's even simpler, with the appearance and habits of His Royal Highness, it won't be long before he will be exposed.He doesn't have much money around him, and he can't maintain his basic necessities, so he will definitely ask others for help.

In the process, he secretly marveled at the courage and strategy of the young lady of the Xianhou Mansion.As for the sixth prince himself, he definitely has guts and cleverness, and he has more plans, not necessarily stronger than the young Dugu siblings.

Wei Guan acted quickly, dispatching troops and generals.Please issue the Holy Spirit's order, one team will go to Qingxia Temple in the west of the city, and one team will search along the way, and the end point will be Fanfang, the capital of the west.Several other soldiers are looking for within the scope of the capital.No matter how good the horse was, he didn't think how far he could run in three days with the sixth highness's delicate body.The inspection of the guards at the city gate has not been relaxed, and the Mu's business houses in various places in the capital have even received secret orders from the Suwei Army.

Yihou has rich experience and thoughtful considerations, so he insists on leaving Dugu and some of Song Wei's bodyguards who are familiar with Song Wei, and put one in each team to help identify people.

In this way, he laid a net of heaven and earth, and he was full of confidence when reporting to the emperor.The emperor asked about the time limit, and Wei Guan said the most conservative three months.The emperor thought it was too long, so he took a few breaths on the bed, drank a bowl of medicine, and remembered that the renovation project of Prince Li's Mansion might not be finished until June.He knew Yihou's habits, and said it was three months, so if he plunged into it, it might be done for you in a month.He finally nodded in agreement.

Yihou just left, and the servant reported that the prince came to visit.

The emperor was sick, and several princes came here in turn every day.The emperor didn't think it before, but this time he probably exhausted his energy and energy arguing with his youngest son, and it was extremely difficult to deal with the other sons, so sometimes he just pretended to be asleep to fool him.

However, the second, fourth, and fifth children can be fooled, but the eldest can't.The boss is the prince.Even if he is not sick, the age of the emperor is still there.Jiangshan Sheji, the ancestral foundation, will have to be handed over to the heirs he chooses in a short time.

The emperor was not satisfied with this heir.It's a pity that this dissatisfaction was discovered too late, and I am afraid that I will go to see my ancestors with regret.So far, this dissatisfaction can't even be expressed.The emperor did not expect such a desolate emotion to arise in the Year of the Dragon Bell: Even if he is the supreme and rich in the world, without a good son, everything is useless.

The daily political affairs of the Xianxi Dynasty were presided over by Sangong, and the emperor was the supreme leader.Before the palace change last spring, the prince had been studying with the Sangong to deal with the government.After the palace change, he was confined for more than half a year, and did not come back until the Spring Festival prayer ceremony.Since then, the emperor's health has been ups and downs, good times and bad times. He tried his best to decide the big things, and left the small things to the courtiers. He never gave the prince any work.Counting back and forth, the prince has not been able to participate in the government for a whole year.

After Huo Han Wen Nuan expressed his filial piety, he probably felt that the timing was about right, and the prince sincerely made insinuations and proposed to relieve his father's worries.

The emperor originally planned to ask the prince to take up the burden again.However, perhaps because of the comparison, no matter how you look at it, you feel that the prince's words and deeds are so hypocritical.Suppressing his impatience, he let him go to Shangshu Province as an intern.

After the prince finally left, the emperor lay on the bed and thought of his youngest son again.As Baoying Zhenren once persuaded, there is no denying that there are thousands of bad things, that is a child with a true temperament.Poorly lost his father since childhood, no one to discipline.When I get back this time, I must teach it slowly, and teach it well...

After Dugu heard about Yihou's actions, he didn't respond.It's just that before going to the northern suburbs for military training, I educated my three children and sent them to live in the residence of my grandfather, Duke Cheng.The next day, a small cart with a green mantle was escorted by several guards and servants, and quietly set off from the back door of the Xianhou Mansion to the outside of the city.There is a manor under the name of Dugu's late wife, and a small Taoist temple has been built here.Since the death of Mrs. Dugu, it has become increasingly deserted, and only two old Taoist nuns are left to take care of it.

The concubines of Xianhou's mansion were sent here to practice. The servants are called servants, but they are actually guards.

Fast forward to April.

Dongping warmed up quickly, and it felt like summer at noon.However, this season is rainy and windy, and the hall did not light up for a while in the afternoon, when the cloudy clouds gathered, the raindrops fell with a crackling.

Song Wei was thankful for her foresight, and immediately put the bamboo hat hanging on her back on her head.He persisted for more than a month, did not comb his hair, did not wash his face, did not take a bath, did not shave, did not manicure his nails... Sure enough, when he spent his last copper coin and had to go out to earn a living, he had a completely new look and completely changed his image.He had taken a picture of the water basin, and now, even if his mother Song Manji was standing opposite her, she would not be able to recognize her face.

Song Wei put on the bamboo hat, her hair was messed up in front of her forehead, her beard was messed up covering the lower half of her face, and she couldn't see where her facial features were at all.He stroked his cheeks proudly, it was really hard to grow this beard, but after raising it, it was really easy.The texture is soft and slender, and it is especially easy to curl. Pulling and pulling obediently covers all the places you want to cover.

Song Wei's overall idea is: it's hard to be beautiful, but isn't it easy to be ugly?Hair and beard are messed up, natural and all-round camouflage.He also tried stuffing a piece of animal bone into his lips to install buck teeth, and the effect was excellent, but he gave up because it was too inconvenient.

They slapped their buttocks, one person and one horse slowly turned around and started walking.

"Hey! Lame! That lame! The goods haven't been delivered yet! Why did you leave?" the warehouse clerk behind shouted anxiously.

Song Wei paused, then pointed to the sky, meaning that it was raining, and I quit.The long black nail polish shines like a row of abalone shells.

The warehouse clerk scolded his mother, stomped his feet, and left him alone.The cripple took his horse to pack goods every afternoon to make money, and left after earning a dozen copper coins.When he was free, everyone thought that no one would talk to him, and when he was busy, he felt that an extra animal was an animal, and completely forgot about his wickedness.

The rain gradually became heavier, and many workers hid under the eaves on the side of the road to avoid the rain, and squatted on the spot to set up stalls to gamble.Song Wei leaned over, there weren't many people around who were clean, but most of them were better than him, some of them covered their noses and took a glance, then moved away two steps.A dozen or so wen turned into dozens of wen, Song Wei put it away when he saw it was good, put the copper coin into his bosom, and went back to the hostel in the rain.

Afraid of getting sick, he brushed his hair carelessly, drank a pot of hot tea, stripped off his wet clothes, and got into the bedding.

He quietly went around the city gate to look around a few times, and the search at the gate did not relax at all.He has no public identity, no guarantor, and no matter how successful his fake appearance is, he will not be able to get out.There was no strict household registration or certificate system in this era.Confirmation of identity is often based on social relations.If you want to go out of the city, you must try to manage interpersonal relationships and come up with a legal identity.This is where things get difficult.

Fortunately, although the gates of the city were strictly guarded, the movements in the city were not felt.At least this Fanfang slum has never been seen before.

Song Wei didn't think she was afraid.He was just vaguely worried.After such a numb day, I almost forgot who I was, where I came from, and where I was going.
