Farmhouse strong man
Chapter 55
There are many people leaving the city. As soon as the imperial notice was issued, the wealthy and ordinary people in the city can leave after paying enough taxes. When paying taxes, the government officials will give them an identity card. People who have collected taxes, whether they are ordinary people or wealthy businessmen, have very little money left on them.
Yuan Liuzhen and his family rode in a carriage, and they had to line up to get out of the city gate one by one like other ordinary people.
Yuan Liuzhen looked a little anxious looking at the crowds of people around him. Now it's not like the 21st century. You can know what the other party is doing and where they are with just one phone call. He can't be sure whether Tao Fu has arrived in Litang Town.
Yuan Liufeng saw Yuan Liuzhen's anxiety, and said to Yuan Liuzhen: "Zhenzhen doesn't have to worry too much. If Fu rides a horse, he should be able to come back in two or three days. Let's wait outside the city gate for two days, while we inquire about news and wait for Fu. It'll be fine."
"En." Yuan Liuzhen nodded, not feeling very relaxed.
They waited in line for more than an hour before leaving the city gate. After leaving the city gate, they randomly found a place to rest and wait for Tao Fu by the way.
After leaving the city gate, other people moved away in all directions. There were relatively few people stranded outside the city gate, and most of them left in a hurry, fearing that if they didn't leave as soon as possible, they would die in the next second.
Yuan Liuzhen knew that if the war in Yuanshou County was on the verge of breaking out, the city would definitely be closed, and those who had nowhere in the city would not be able to come out if they wanted to.
During the two days of waiting outside the city, the crowd left one after another. Yuan Liuzhen was comforted by her family members and was able to calm down a lot. But as the two-day deadline approached, they were about to leave the city gate, and Tao Fu still did not show up. Yuan Liuzhen became even more anxious.
Two days later, almost all the people in the head of state county had left the city.
At night, before they were ready to leave the city gate, they were driven by the officers and soldiers outside the city gate to leave here as soon as possible.
Just when they had no choice but to leave here, Tao Fu's figure finally appeared.
Yuan Liuzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Tao Fu, whom he hadn't seen for two days, was busy with travel and dust, with disheveled hair, unshaven beard, and exhausted look.
Tao Fu rode on a horse, didn't see them, and walked quickly towards the city gate. It was Yuan Liuzhen who called Tao Fu, and Tao Fu immediately turned his horse's head and came towards their direction.
When Tao Fu walked up to their carriage on horseback, he got off his horse, and Yuan Liuzhen also got off the carriage. Tao Fu immediately embraced Yuan Liuzhen when he saw Yuan Liuzhen. Ri probably didn't sleep much, so Tao Fu got into the carriage to rest.
"Ah Fu, you are very tired, let's rest in the carriage first."
Tao Fu didn't say a word, just hugged Yuan Liuzhen for a while before letting go, and nodded.
Tao Fu was brought into the carriage by Yuan Liuzhen. Yuan Liuxun saw Tao Fu get into the carriage, greeted Tao Fu, got off the carriage and got on Tao Fu's horse.
Yuan Zhenjian saw Tao Fu getting into the carriage and Yuan Liuxun riding the horse, so he drove the carriage on their way.
In the carriage, Tao Fu, who was exhausted, greeted Liu Xiangshuang and the others one by one, and then said to Yuan Liuzhen: "I have encountered something when I went to Litang Town this time. I will tell you after I leave the city gate. A'Ban, I am from Liyao." The village brought it here. It’s near the nearest post station. I also brought back the baggage you left in Liyao Village.”
After hearing this, Yuan Liuzhen nodded.At this time, Tao Fu, who was exhausted and hadn't slept for two days and one night, felt relaxed and fell asleep leaning against the wall of the carriage.
Yuan Liuzhen glanced at Tao Fu who was sleeping next to her, and felt much more at ease.
It was getting late now, and they had only traveled for more than an hour to reach the nearest post station.
They just stopped the carriage when the voice of "Zhenzhen" sounded. Yuan Liuzhen knew it was Ah'Ban, so he quickly opened the curtain of the carriage, and three shadows flew in immediately.
Yuan Liuzhen was taken aback by the three shadows, and when he saw the three figures falling on the sleeping Tao Fu, he realized that A'Ban, whom he had not seen for a long time, not only had a partner, but also a cub , and the cub has grown up, Ah’Ban’s partner is a parrot with a whole body of colorful feathers, and both the cub and Ah’Ban are black in color at first glance.
A'Ban who fell on Tao Fu woke up the sleeping Tao Fu. Tao Fu opened his eyes and saw that the carriage stopped, and A'Ban was parked on his body. They stroked their sleepy eyes and asked Yuan Liuzhen, "Zhenzhen, we have arrived at the post station. Is it near?"
Yuan Liuzhen nodded and said, "I've arrived near the station, and I'm going to rest here until dawn before leaving."
Tao Fu hummed lightly, and then heard Yuan Zhenjian telling them to get off the carriage and rest.
After they got off the carriage, they found a place to stop, lit the fire, took out the dry food they had brought, and began to eat.
While eating dry food, Yuan Liuzhen looked at Tao Fu, thinking that Tao Fu had something to say before he fell asleep, so he asked, "Didn't Ah Fu say that he had something to say before?"
Tao Fu looked around, and after confirming that there was some distance from the post station, and there was no one around, he said, "I came out of Yuan's Mansion and rushed to Litang Town non-stop. , I happened to be blocked there, the money on my body was already given to you at that time, and the money in the shop was not enough to pay taxes, fortunately, I had Lan Yue to help me, and I knew the servants, otherwise, I’m afraid I’d be in big trouble, and it’s also because of this, Lan Yue told me something."
When Yuan Zhenjian and Yuan Liuxun heard what Tao Fu said, they all looked at Tao Fu.
Yuan Liuzhen also looked at Tao Fu nervously. Tao Fu glanced at everyone and said, "I'm afraid this war will not stop soon. It's not simply because of the border issue between Yongyang Kingdom and Lishui Kingdom, or because of the Lishui state written in the notice. The country intends to invade and invade Yongyang Kingdom, killing the generals stationed at the border of Yongyang Kingdom to start a war is so simple, it may involve Xizhou, Dongzhou, and Yongzhou, so no matter which state we go to now, it is not safe."
Yuan Zhenjian looked at Tao Fu and said, "Xun Xun and I encountered trouble when we went to Lishui Kingdom, and we heard a lot of rumors, because we were not sure, so we didn't tell everyone, since Fu mentioned it, we should do the worst. I plan to stay in Xizhou. Whether it is Lishui or the three states involved, Xizhou will definitely be the most affected. We go to Dongzhou to rely on you, Uncle Chen. Even if Dongzhou is chaotic, we will find a way to avoid it. It's fine."
Yuan Liuzhen thought about it from memory. The Uncle Chen mentioned by Yuan Zhenjian was named Chen Luozheng. He was in the jade business and had business contacts with the Yuan family. Sometimes they would go to Lishui Country to buy jade together and transport it back to Yongyang Country to sell.Yuan Liuzhen guessed that Yuan Zhenjian would go directly to Dongzhou after the war, probably because he had agreed with Uncle Chen in advance.
After Yuan Zhenjian said that, the others naturally didn't think much about it. Now they can only rush to Dongzhou as soon as possible. The current situation is to stay in Xizhou. Once the war starts, they will be more troublesome.
Yuan Liuzhen asked Tao Fu casually, "What did Lan Yue and the others plan?"
Tao Fu replied: "Lan Yue and the others went to Yongzhou. Lan Yue's family originally belonged to Yongzhou. Naturally, they returned to Yongzhou. Uncle Man and Li Niang took Xiao Man and Uncle Li to Yongzhou to seek refuge with Lan Yue. Lan Yue knew that we I didn’t say anything after going to Dongzhou, but if there is any danger in the future, you can go to Yongzhou to find them at any time.”
As for Yongzhou, Yuan Bo had never been there, didn't know much about it, and didn't say anything.
He felt relieved when he knew that Uncle Man, Li Niang and Shen Lanyue had gone to Yongzhou.
After eating, everyone rested outside the carriage except Yuan Liuzhen and Liu Xiangshuang.
Yuan Liuzhen was lying on the carriage with a lot of thoughts. Hearing what Tao Fu and Yuan Zhenjian said, he felt that the situation was not optimistic. The war in Yongyang Kingdom 24 years ago was due to rebellion, and it was encircled and suppressed by the current Emperor Yongyang. In addition to the capital city at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, Yongyang Kingdom is only divided into three prefectures, Xizhou, Dongzhou, and Yongzhou. The three prefectures are governed by three princes respectively. If the war between Lishui Kingdom and Yongyang Kingdom really involves Three states, then it is very likely that this war will spread to more remote places in Yongyang Kingdom.
In the next few days, they were on their way non-stop. Five days after they left Führer County, Lishui Kingdom and Yongyang Kingdom had already started a war, and the situation was not optimistic. More people from Xizhou flocked to Dongzhou and Yongzhou respectively.
Yuan Liuzhen saw more and more fleeing people, and it was not uncommon for people to be burned, killed and robbed on the road. If Tao Fu and Yuan Zhenjian were not there, they would have been robbed many times in the carriage, and it was also because of this, They have been on their way, bypassing several county towns, and successfully arrived at the gate of Dongzhou City.
At this time, the gate of Dongzhou City is heavily guarded, and you can still enter, but you need someone to respond to let you in, otherwise you will not be allowed in.
Yuan Zhenjian saw that the trustee delivered Chen Luozheng's token inside, so they waited outside at the gate of the city like other ordinary people who were not allowed to enter.
Through the window of the carriage, Yuan Liuzhen saw the people crowding outside the city gate, the people who had nothing to eat and robbed others for food, and saw the crying children who were waiting to be fed. .
It's the end of December now, and he has been pregnant for eight months. He basically won't get out of the carriage along the way. Now the degree of belly bulge is not suitable for him to walk around at will. He can only stay in the carriage. Only then will he get out of the carriage and walk around, otherwise if other people see him, if he doesn't explain, he will definitely think that a "man" with such a bulging abdomen must have some serious disease.
During the period of their escape, the Lishui Kingdom broke through the border of Xizhou, pressing forward step by step, and attacked the territory of Xizhou. They had to escape from Xizhou as soon as possible.
They have been on the road, they can't eat well, they can't sleep well, and they have to be alert to the robbers, all of them are exhausted.
The colder weather also made them a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, they arrived in time and arrived outside Dongzhou City, as long as they could enter Dongzhou City.
While waiting for Chen Luozheng, Yuan Liuzhen was very anxious, and so were Yuan Zhenjian and the others.
Fortunately, they only waited for half a day, and Chen Luozheng rode out of the city gate with his servants to pick them up.
Chen Luozheng and his servants came over and saw Yuan Zhenjian greeting him very familiarly, Yuan Liuzhen and the others also said hello to Chen Luozheng one by one.
When Chen Luozheng saw Yuan Liuzhen who was covered by a quilt in the carriage, he was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he asked them to follow them into the city as soon as possible, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get in when it was dark, and it would be very dangerous to stay outside the city.
They have experienced several waves of robbers in the past few days, so they naturally know what will happen at night outside the city where fish and dragons are mixed.
When they followed Chen Luozhen into the city, the guards outside the city gate needed to check the identities of those entering the city, so they were taken separately to a place outside the city gate to register and check their identities.
Tao Fu followed Yuan Liuzhen's carriage on horseback.
Because of Yuan Liuzhen's pregnancy, she didn't open the curtain of the carriage to look out at will. When checking her identity, she also took care not to let the inspector see his swollen abdomen. Liu Xiangshuang also explained to the inspector that Yuan Liuzhen had a cold.When the inspector checked, Yuan Liuzhen also pretended to have a cold.
It's just that when they checked their identities and were about to enter the city gate, the city gate officer happened to come riding over, saw them pay special attention to the group, and asked them to stop.
Tao Fu came to them as the city gate official on horseback, and saluted respectfully, but he didn't know why the city gate officer paid special attention to him, it seemed that he had been looking at him for a long time, and he couldn't help but look up at the city gate with his head down. The gatekeeper, with just one glance, he felt a little familiar.
The city gate official was tall, probably about the same size as Yuan Zhenjian, with a burly figure. After looking at him for a long time, he asked the guard to take a look at his identity verification registration before letting them pass.
When they entered Dongzhou City Gate, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After leaving the city gate, Chen Luozheng specifically asked Yuan Zhenjian, "Why did the city gate official look at Fu?"
Yuan Zhenjian shook his head unclearly, looked at Tao Fu, Tao Fu rode over and said, "I see that the city gate official is a little familiar, maybe it's Fan Tian."
Yuan Liuzhen sat in the carriage, heard Tao Fu's answer, opened the curtain, and asked Tao Fu, "Who is Fan Tian?"
Tao Fu frowned and replied, "Fan Tian is Aye Po's eldest son."
Yuan Liuzhen felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Tao Fu's answer, thinking of Ayepo in Ligou Village, Tao Fu and his previous experiences.It turned out that what Ayepo said about her son becoming a general was not true, but he became a city gatekeeper in Dongzhou. He knew Tao Fu and the conflict between him and Ayepo, so he couldn't help thinking that Ayepo would also enter Dongzhou. ?
The group was quickly brought to the Chen Mansion by Chen Luozheng. Now that the Lishui Kingdom has conquered the Western Province, Dongzhou is still normal. If the Lishui Kingdom continues to attack, it may not be long before the East Continent will be in chaos, right?
After Chen Luozheng brought them into the Chen Mansion, he cleaned up for them, as if he was not affected by the Xizhou war at all.
At the reception banquet, after everyone was seated, Chen Luozheng was a little surprised to find Yuan Liuzhen's swollen belly.
Before Chen Luozheng could ask, Yuan Zhenjian explained to Chen Luozheng with some embarrassment: "Brother Chen, Zhenzhen is actually my elder brother. My elder brother's red mole didn't appear until he was almost an adult, and now Zhenzhen is pregnant."
Chen Luozheng and his family were all shocked when they heard that Yuan Liuzhen was a brother. Chen Luozheng was so shocked that he didn't know what to say, but he didn't show it out of politeness. Instead, he praised: "Zhenzhen is a brother, very good Very good. The last time we went to Lishui country together, I never heard you mention it."
Yuan Zhenjian felt even more embarrassed. He only found out that Yuan Liuzhen was his brother in the last month.If it weren't for the war, Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu would have been married by now.Naturally, he couldn't say that Yuan Liuzhen had a child before he got married, but explained: "I didn't expect this, so I didn't mention it to you."
"So that's it." Chen Luozheng didn't ask too much, but was surprised that Yuan Liuzhen, who was so strong, was actually his brother. If his brother grew up to be like Yuan Liuzhen, they would still be so angry. No one will marry, right?He felt that Yuan Liuzhen was quite lucky, being so strong, he could still find a husband as talented as Tao Fu.He just thought about it for a while, and after the banquet started, they drank and chatted.
Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu sat together. When eating, Tao Fu carefully helped Yuan Liuzhen prepare the dishes.Yuan Liuzhen hadn't eaten well in the past few days, and now that he ate a lot of delicious food, he naturally ate more.
During the meal, he heard Yuan Zhenjian chatting with Chen Luozheng, and also heard some news from Chen Luozheng.
From Chen Luozheng's point of view, Dongzhou's army is strong and horses are strong. Now that the chaos in Xizhou does not affect Dongzhou, at least there will be no war in Dongzhou for a month, but they also need to prepare in advance to deal with the war in Dongzhou.
Yuan Zhenjian and the others were a little worried after hearing this, but Chen Luozheng reassured Yuan Zhenjian that there was no need to worry. If there was anything, they could escape the war with them. Their Dongzhou family has a rich background, so it is not difficult for them to avoid the war.
Yuan Zhenjian naturally believed in Chen Luozheng. Chen Luozheng's family has a rich background in Dongzhou, which is different from their family's fortune from Yuan Zhenjian.
After the welcome banquet, Chen Luozheng arranged them in a courtyard.
Yuan Zhenjian didn't say that Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu were not married, and Chen Luozheng had tacitly agreed that they were married.Therefore, the two were arranged in the same room.
In the room, the servants of the Chen family had prepared hot water. They traveled for a long time, were exhausted, sleepy and had no place to take a bath. Now that they saw the hot water, Yuan Liuzhen couldn't wait to take a bath and change clothes.
Tao Fu knew that it was inconvenient for Yuan Liuzhen to take a bath and change clothes, so he hurried over to help.
Yuan Liuzhen didn't refuse, but Tao Fu's shy appearance was the same as before, and his eyes still wouldn't stay on him for a long time. Yuan Liuzhen couldn't help laughing every time he saw Tao Fu like this.
The two hadn't been close for a long time, and Yuan Liuzhen deliberately teased him. After Tao Fu helped him undress and help him into the water, he grabbed Tao Fu who was about to leave, and kissed him directly. Tao Fu was suddenly kissed by Yuan Liuzhen, and his eyes widened , with crystals in his clear eyes.
Tao Fu was just stunned for a moment, then naturally he had to embrace Yuan Liuzhen, kissed for a long time before letting go of Yuan Liuzhen.
"Is the person Fu met outside the city gate really Fan Tian?" Yuan Liuzhen asked Tao Fu while slowly washing with hot water.
Tao Fu answered without looking in Yuan Liuzhen's direction, "Yes. When I was young, I followed Fan Tian and learned how to practice swords with Uncle Fan. I can't make a mistake."
"Would it be possible that Ayepo and the others also fled to Dongzhou?" Yuan Liuzhen asked.
"I don't know." Tao Fu replied.
"Then if Ayepo cares about what happened in Ligou Village, the situation in the court is unstable now, and if Fan Tian is a city gate official, Ayepo's character of chasing you may be bad for us." Yuan Liuzhen was suspicious. Said: "We should pay more attention recently."
"Okay." Tao Fu nodded and said, "If it's really dangerous, we'll go to Yongzhou. Lan Yue gave me a token before leaving. It's okay to go to Yongzhou to find Lan Yue and Uncle Man."
Yuan Liuzhen felt that it was okay, so she felt relieved.
Tonight, Yuan Zhenjian and Chen Luozheng seemed to be chatting happily, and Chen Luozheng didn't seem to want to harm them, and the last time Yuan Zhenjian and Chen Luozheng parted ways, Chen Luozheng asked Chen Luozheng to help keep some banknotes, and now they have returned Yuan Zhenjian. It is not a big deal for them to have the banknotes Worried about life problems, want to do business or want to escape Dongzhou to Yongzhou.
Because Tao Fu was visiting Du Fantian at the city gate that day, Tao Fu would go out to the Chen Mansion to inquire about news from time to time in the past few days.
It was also on the second day after they came to Chen's Mansion that it began to snow.
Because of the snow, Yuan Liuzhen seldom went out. If he went out, it was too cold, and he was afraid that he would fall, so Liu Xiangshuang also asked him not to go out.
Tao Fu would still cook delicious meals in the Chen family's kitchen and serve them to Yuan Liuzhen. After Yuan Liuzhen had eaten every day, he would sit in the room boredly and look at the snow outside the window or wait for Tao Fu to come back and tell him about the things outside. Sometimes, when tired of watching snow or painting, I will naturally fall asleep and sleep more.
On this day, he slept for several hours during the day and was not sleepy at night. He talked to Tao Fu, and soon Tao Fu fell asleep. He tossed and turned, and did not fall asleep until he saw two black shadows standing Before the door, he became alert, and he pushed Tao Fu who was sleeping beside him.
Tao Fu was pushed awake by him, and wanted to make a sound, but before he could make a sound, he covered his mouth and nose, and pointed to the black shadow in front of the door.
Tao Fu held Yuan Liuzhen's hand, nodded to indicate that he understood, and would not make a sound.
The two of them stared at the black shadow in front of the door, and after the black shadow stayed in front of the door for a short time, they smelled a fragrance. The moment Tao Fu smelled the fragrance, he covered Yuan Liuzhen's mouth and nose with his hands and whispered: "It's a drug, you cover your mouth and nose, I'll go down and find a wet cloth."
After Tao Fu finished speaking, he got off the bed lightly without making a sound. After getting the wet cloth, he handed it to him. Tao Fu also covered a wet cloth.
Tao Fu handed the wet cloth to Yuan Liuzhen and at the same time told Yuan Liuzhen not to let go of the wet cloth. When the two shadows disappeared in front of the door, he quickly walked out to follow the two shadows.
Not long after Yuan Liuzhen waited in the room, Tao Fu came back.
After Tao Fu came back, he opened the door and window to dissipate the sweet smell in the room, walked to Yuan Liuzhen and said to Yuan Liuzhen, "We need to get out of here as soon as possible. Just now I followed those two people and heard that they said it was Master Chen's order. It may be because of Fan Tian that he wanted to hand over us to the city gate officials. Fortunately, Zhenzhen asked me to go out to inquire about the news. Although I didn't find any useful information, I also knew some carriage shops that rented carriages. The two people just now I was called away by another person, and I will go to the room of my father, father, elder brother, and second brother to put drugs in a while, we have to leave here as soon as possible."
Yuan Liuzhen was a little startled when she heard this. If the city gate officials ordered Chen Luozheng to drug them, then it is very likely that this matter has something to do with Ayepo?He really couldn't figure out why Ayepo was always chasing after Tao Fu, but it was useless to think so much now, they were living in Dongzhou and Chen Mansion, and now Chen Luozheng wanted to help Fan Tian make them faint , maybe it was threatened by Fan Tian or something else, let's leave here first.
Yuan Liuzhen tidied up the clothes in the room and quickly put them into the bag, while Tao Fu went to the yard to wake up Yuan Zhenjian and the others.
After Yuan Liuzhen packed up his things, he quietly took Ah'Ban and the others who had fallen on the tree in the courtyard with them after they entered the Chen Mansion.After waiting at the door for a while, he saw Yuan Zhenjian and others who had finished packing.
Yuan Zhenjian didn't know about the conflicts between Tao Fu, Ayepo and Yuan Liuzhen, but after Tao Fu explained the situation, he didn't ask any more questions, and decided to leave the Chen Mansion first.
As they left, the snow began to fall harder and the visibility was very low, which also prepared them for fleeing here.
Now it is the war between Xizhou and Lishui Kingdom. In order to avoid the war from spreading to Dongzhou, Chen Luozheng needs to pay taxes and dismiss his servants. When the war broke out in Xizhou, he had already dismissed some of his servants immediately.They lived in the Chen Mansion for a few days, and Tao Fu went out more often, so he naturally knew that there were fewer people on that road.Under the cover of the wind and snow, they quickly escaped from the Chen residence along the road with few people.
The journey was safe and sound, avoiding several waves of servants, leaving the Chen residence, Tao Fu immediately took them to the chariot and horse shop, bought two carriages, one for Yuan Zhenjian, Liu Xiangshuang, and Yuan Liuxun, Tao Fu, Yuan Liuzhen, Yuan Liufeng and a carriage.
When buying a carriage, Tao Fu inquired about the news with the owner of the carriage and horse shop. The owner of the carriage and horse shop looked anxious and said to Tao Fu: "Just now I heard that the king of Xizhou was defeated, and now Xizhou has been captured by soldiers from the Lishui Kingdom." Occupation, I'm afraid we will soon hit Dongzhou. You rented the carriage so late because you got the news of the defeat of the King of Xizhou, right?
Tao Fu didn't know about it, but he still nodded and said "yes".
Then the owner of the carriage shop looked gloomy, and asked his servants to pack up quickly, and told Tao Fu while packing, "The king of Xizhou was defeated, Dongzhou has not allowed people from Xizhou to enter, and people who entered Xizhou before may I also need to verify their identities one by one. I have an elder brother who fled from Xizhou. Now he has not been safe for a few days. I am afraid that he will be called to verify his identity. Battlefield, isn’t that death?”
Yuan Liuzhen, Yuan Zhenjian and the others were startled when they heard what the shopkeeper of the carriage shop said. Tao Fu instantly understood why Chen Luozheng wanted to make them faint. He probably felt that they practiced more martial arts and it was difficult to control them. Fan Tian also specially emphasized that he must catch them Not to mention catching them and verifying their identities, in case of forced conscription or repatriation to Xizhou, it will be very troublesome for them, especially when Yuan Liuzhen is pregnant.If Ayepo and the others had already fled to Dongzhou, together with Fan Tian, and Ayepo knew of their existence and was given a reputation for being a meticulous worker, would they still have a life?
Thinking of this, they felt that it would be better to leave here as soon as possible.
They breathed a sigh of relief after the carriage drove away.
Yuan Liuzhen was protected by Tao Fu along the way. After getting into the carriage, she felt extremely cold, and asked Tao Fu who was driving the carriage: "Are we going to escape to Yongzhou?"
"We can only go to Yongzhou. Now that Xizhou has just been defeated, Dongzhou may be attacked immediately, and the shopkeeper of the chariot and horse shop said that it is the king of Dongzhou. I am afraid that he will investigate the Xizhou people who entered Dongzhou. We will not be spared. We will investigate the people of Xizhou. The notice should have not been issued, the order has not been issued, it is inconvenient for Fan Tian to make a move, otherwise Fan Tian would not have found the Chen Mansion, let Uncle Chen find someone to stun us, we have to leave Dongzhou as soon as possible before the order is issued Just do it."
Yuan Liuzhen looked worried, "Fortunately, from Dongzhou to Yongzhou, from here to the ferry, if the carriage is fast, it only takes one day. We need to get to the ferry as soon as possible."
It's just that not long after their carriage drove, they heard the sound of horses chasing them behind them.
When the man on horseback approached them not far away, Tao Fu could see the man's appearance clearly. The man's appearance looked like a guard of the Chen residence, and it was also because of this that he drove the carriage faster.
The horse riders also seemed to have discovered that the person driving the carriage was Tao Fu, and chased them even more intensely. There were at least a dozen servants of the Chen residence chasing them, and all of them were guards of the Chen residence with knives or swords. They knew how to drive a carriage. Behind them, the guards on horseback were even faster.
Seeing that the guards were about to catch up with them, Yuan Liuzhen was a little anxious, touched A'Ban who was brought out by him, remembered that he had trained A'Ban to forage for food, and pointed at A'Ban to chase them in the wind and snow The guards of Chen's residence and the lamps in the guards' hands made a posture for Ah'Ban to attack. After receiving the instruction, Ah'Ban flew out along the curtain of the carriage with a cry.
After the black figure of Ah'Ban flew out, he directly attacked the leading guard who followed them closely. The leading guard didn't notice Ah'Ban who was completely black because of the heavy wind and snow. It went off, and the movement of driving the horse was instantly unstable. Ah'Ban attacked the horse leading the guard. The horse neighed, and overturned the leading guard who was moving unsteadily to the ground.The guards following behind were affected by the sudden movement of the leading guards, and the speeding horses were affected, and they became a mess in an instant. A'Ban took advantage of the opportunity to attack the lights that were still on by the other guards, and when all the lights were turned off by it with its beak and claws After being overturned, it excitedly flew towards the carriage where Yuan Liuzhen was.
When Yuan Liuzhen was attacking the guards chasing them at A'Ban, Tao Fu accelerated the speed of driving the carriage without slowing down, and Yuan Zhenjian who was walking in front of them did not slow down the speed of driving the carriage.
After A'Ban flew back to the carriage, Yuan Liuzhen breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuan Liuzhen said to Tao Fu: "The servants of the Chen family have discovered us. We have to hurry on our way. If we can't do it, we should abandon the carriage and find a chance to escape. Hurry up and catch up with Dad and the others. I have something to say to Dad and the others."
Tao Fu knew that the situation was critical now, so he could only do what Yuan Liuzhen said.He drove the carriage faster, and quickly caught up with Yuan Zhenjian's carriage. It happened that the road here was wider, and the two carriages were driving side by side.
Yuan Liuzhen opened the curtain of the carriage and said to Yuan Zhenjian who was driving the carriage: "Father, the servants of the Chen family have discovered us and know the direction we are going. They may know that we are going to Yongzhou. I am pregnant now, so it is inconvenient to travel long distances. If it is easy to be found at the ferry, I decided to abandon the carriage and find a place to hide. You take your father, elder brother, and second brother to disguise and go to Yongzhou together. We will give you Lanyue's token, you When the time comes, go directly to Lan Yue, and we will go to you after the war is over."
After hearing this, Yuan Zhenjian disagreed and said: "If we want to go, we will go together, if we want to stay together, we will stay together."
Liu Xiangshuang, who was sitting in the carriage, heard what Yuan Liuzhen said and did not agree with them going to Yongzhou by themselves.
The only way Yuan Liuzhen can think of now is this. It is inconvenient for him to be pregnant, and he is already very uncomfortable because the carriage drove so fast just now.Besides, if it was really because of Fan Tian that the Chen family treated them like this, and Fan Tian did this to vent his anger on Aye Po, Fan Tian would not give up now that he is the gate official of Dongzhou City.They need to prepare for the worst.
Tao Fu and Yuan Liuzhen thought the same, and said at this time: "Father, Father, what Zhenzhen said is right, if we are easily discovered together, we will not be able to leave. You may go directly to the ferry later, and it may take trouble." The second brother stayed, I let Zhenzhen and the second brother get off the carriage, the second brother took care of Zhenzhen, and I drove the carriage to lead the servants of the Chen family to another road, so that everyone would be safer."
Yuan Zhenjian and Liu Xiangshuang still disagreed, but they could already see sporadic fires approaching them by looking back.Tao Fu anxiously said: "I can only do this now. I don't have to worry about being alone. I know martial arts. It's also convenient to hide alone. It happens that there are many mountains nearby, so I can lead them up the mountain. I grew up in the mountains and hid in the mountains. It's easy."
Seeing this, Yuan Zhenjian had no choice but to agree.
After the two carriages stopped, they blew out the lights on the carriage. Tao Fu took out Shen Lanyue's token from his sleeve and handed it to Yuan Zhenjian, telling Yuan Zhenjian that Shen Lanyue lived in Yongzhou Yuecheng, and that he could go directly to Yongzhou Yuecheng to find Shen Lanyue. .
Yuan Zhenjian took the token that Tao Fu gave him, and first instructed Tao Fu, and then Yuan Liufeng, asking Yuan Liufeng to take good care of Yuan Liuzhen. Be careful on your way."
After Yuan Zhenjian instructed Yuan Liufeng, he gave Yuan Liuzhen another instruction.
Liu Xiangshuang then instructed Yuan Liufeng and Tao Fu, and then Yuan Liuzhen.Liu Xiangshuang wanted Yuan Liuzhen to go with them, but Yuan Liuzhen stroked her swollen belly. Liu Xiangshuang already understood Yuan Liuzhen's meaning. He knew that Yuan Liuzhen made this decision because she was pregnant and couldn't travel long distances. It would take a month to get to Yongzhou by boat, and if something happened on the way, they would not be able to solve it. Thinking of this, he felt even more uncomfortable. If he had known Yuan Liuzhen was his brother, he would not have caused Yuan Liuzhen to suffer so much. He held Yuan Liuzhen's hand, took out several banknotes and stuffed them to Yuan Liuzhen, "Zhenzhen, you take these banknotes."
Yuan Liuzhen quickly refused: "Father, you have all the bank notes. Fu, me and my second brother don't have to worry, I can make money on my own, but you are going to Yongzhou with your father and elder brother. You are not familiar with the place, so you don't need money." Not enough money, besides, it takes a lot of money to go to the ferry, and now I still have the 50 taels of silver you gave me recently, if I save a little, it will be enough for us to avoid the limelight."
Tao Fu also said at this time: "Yes, father, I will take good care of Zhenzhen and prevent Zhenzhen from any harm or grievance."
Tao Fu also felt uncomfortable. If there was a way, they would also want to leave here together, but he knew that the city gate official might be Fan Tianhou. In order to avoid implicating Yuan Zhenjian and the others because of him, he could only agree with Yuan Liuzhen's decision, and he also knew Yuan Liuzhen's current physical condition is not suitable for traveling, they must find a safe place to settle down.
Liu Xiangshuang looked at Tao Fu with firm eyes, and also believed that Tao Fu could do what he said, so he instructed Tao Fu again.
Yuan Liuxun also told Yuan Liufeng, Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu a few words, they didn't dare to delay too long, so they bid farewell in a hurry.
Before Yuan Zhenjian left, Yuan Liuzhen gave Yuan Zhenjian a piece of wood that A'Ban usually likes to play with. The piece of wood was used by him to send letters to Xiaoman before. I don't know if Ah'Ban can send messages at such a long distance. Even if Ah'Ban cannot send messages between Dongzhou and Yongzhou, it will be more convenient for Ah'Ban to send messages when they go to Yongzhou.He handed the wooden block to Yuan Zhenjian to explain the situation, and Yuan Zhenjian put it away very well.
They watched Yuan Zhenjian's carriage leave, and Tao Fu said to Yuan Liufeng and Yuan Liuzhen: "The trees here happen to be dense and can shelter from the snow. You wait for me here, and I will drive the carriage to another place. If it is morning, I have not come back." , you just find a place to hide nearby, don't be found, I will come back to find you soon."
After Tao Fu finished speaking, he said "don't worry" to Yuan Liuzhen and drove the carriage to follow the bright direction of the fire.
Yuan Liuzhen looked anxiously at the direction Tao Fu left, and was taken by Yuan Liufeng to the nearby dense cypress trees.
There are many cypress trees here, and they are very short. You can hide under them to avoid the snow. If you don't make a sound, you will generally not be noticed.
When Tao Fu left, he took off all the quilts and other things from the carriage, and took A'Ban and them away. At this time, he and Yuan Liufeng hid in the cave formed by the cypress trees, and they were not particularly cold under the quilt.
Yuan Liufeng looked at Yuan Liuzhen, who didn't know what he was thinking, and comforted him: "Fu is fine. Fu knows martial arts and is very strong. Can he hunt a wild boar alone? Besides, Fu brought your sword when he left, and nothing will happen. .”
"Yeah. I know." Yuan Liuzhen replied: "With Ah Ban here, Ah Fu will find us. We will stay here until dawn, and after dawn, we will find other places to hide nearby."
Yuan Liufeng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Yuan Liuzhen didn't fall asleep until dawn, he was always thinking about Tao Fu's situation now?When can I come back.
Yuan Liuzhen and his family rode in a carriage, and they had to line up to get out of the city gate one by one like other ordinary people.
Yuan Liuzhen looked a little anxious looking at the crowds of people around him. Now it's not like the 21st century. You can know what the other party is doing and where they are with just one phone call. He can't be sure whether Tao Fu has arrived in Litang Town.
Yuan Liufeng saw Yuan Liuzhen's anxiety, and said to Yuan Liuzhen: "Zhenzhen doesn't have to worry too much. If Fu rides a horse, he should be able to come back in two or three days. Let's wait outside the city gate for two days, while we inquire about news and wait for Fu. It'll be fine."
"En." Yuan Liuzhen nodded, not feeling very relaxed.
They waited in line for more than an hour before leaving the city gate. After leaving the city gate, they randomly found a place to rest and wait for Tao Fu by the way.
After leaving the city gate, other people moved away in all directions. There were relatively few people stranded outside the city gate, and most of them left in a hurry, fearing that if they didn't leave as soon as possible, they would die in the next second.
Yuan Liuzhen knew that if the war in Yuanshou County was on the verge of breaking out, the city would definitely be closed, and those who had nowhere in the city would not be able to come out if they wanted to.
During the two days of waiting outside the city, the crowd left one after another. Yuan Liuzhen was comforted by her family members and was able to calm down a lot. But as the two-day deadline approached, they were about to leave the city gate, and Tao Fu still did not show up. Yuan Liuzhen became even more anxious.
Two days later, almost all the people in the head of state county had left the city.
At night, before they were ready to leave the city gate, they were driven by the officers and soldiers outside the city gate to leave here as soon as possible.
Just when they had no choice but to leave here, Tao Fu's figure finally appeared.
Yuan Liuzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Tao Fu, whom he hadn't seen for two days, was busy with travel and dust, with disheveled hair, unshaven beard, and exhausted look.
Tao Fu rode on a horse, didn't see them, and walked quickly towards the city gate. It was Yuan Liuzhen who called Tao Fu, and Tao Fu immediately turned his horse's head and came towards their direction.
When Tao Fu walked up to their carriage on horseback, he got off his horse, and Yuan Liuzhen also got off the carriage. Tao Fu immediately embraced Yuan Liuzhen when he saw Yuan Liuzhen. Ri probably didn't sleep much, so Tao Fu got into the carriage to rest.
"Ah Fu, you are very tired, let's rest in the carriage first."
Tao Fu didn't say a word, just hugged Yuan Liuzhen for a while before letting go, and nodded.
Tao Fu was brought into the carriage by Yuan Liuzhen. Yuan Liuxun saw Tao Fu get into the carriage, greeted Tao Fu, got off the carriage and got on Tao Fu's horse.
Yuan Zhenjian saw Tao Fu getting into the carriage and Yuan Liuxun riding the horse, so he drove the carriage on their way.
In the carriage, Tao Fu, who was exhausted, greeted Liu Xiangshuang and the others one by one, and then said to Yuan Liuzhen: "I have encountered something when I went to Litang Town this time. I will tell you after I leave the city gate. A'Ban, I am from Liyao." The village brought it here. It’s near the nearest post station. I also brought back the baggage you left in Liyao Village.”
After hearing this, Yuan Liuzhen nodded.At this time, Tao Fu, who was exhausted and hadn't slept for two days and one night, felt relaxed and fell asleep leaning against the wall of the carriage.
Yuan Liuzhen glanced at Tao Fu who was sleeping next to her, and felt much more at ease.
It was getting late now, and they had only traveled for more than an hour to reach the nearest post station.
They just stopped the carriage when the voice of "Zhenzhen" sounded. Yuan Liuzhen knew it was Ah'Ban, so he quickly opened the curtain of the carriage, and three shadows flew in immediately.
Yuan Liuzhen was taken aback by the three shadows, and when he saw the three figures falling on the sleeping Tao Fu, he realized that A'Ban, whom he had not seen for a long time, not only had a partner, but also a cub , and the cub has grown up, Ah’Ban’s partner is a parrot with a whole body of colorful feathers, and both the cub and Ah’Ban are black in color at first glance.
A'Ban who fell on Tao Fu woke up the sleeping Tao Fu. Tao Fu opened his eyes and saw that the carriage stopped, and A'Ban was parked on his body. They stroked their sleepy eyes and asked Yuan Liuzhen, "Zhenzhen, we have arrived at the post station. Is it near?"
Yuan Liuzhen nodded and said, "I've arrived near the station, and I'm going to rest here until dawn before leaving."
Tao Fu hummed lightly, and then heard Yuan Zhenjian telling them to get off the carriage and rest.
After they got off the carriage, they found a place to stop, lit the fire, took out the dry food they had brought, and began to eat.
While eating dry food, Yuan Liuzhen looked at Tao Fu, thinking that Tao Fu had something to say before he fell asleep, so he asked, "Didn't Ah Fu say that he had something to say before?"
Tao Fu looked around, and after confirming that there was some distance from the post station, and there was no one around, he said, "I came out of Yuan's Mansion and rushed to Litang Town non-stop. , I happened to be blocked there, the money on my body was already given to you at that time, and the money in the shop was not enough to pay taxes, fortunately, I had Lan Yue to help me, and I knew the servants, otherwise, I’m afraid I’d be in big trouble, and it’s also because of this, Lan Yue told me something."
When Yuan Zhenjian and Yuan Liuxun heard what Tao Fu said, they all looked at Tao Fu.
Yuan Liuzhen also looked at Tao Fu nervously. Tao Fu glanced at everyone and said, "I'm afraid this war will not stop soon. It's not simply because of the border issue between Yongyang Kingdom and Lishui Kingdom, or because of the Lishui state written in the notice. The country intends to invade and invade Yongyang Kingdom, killing the generals stationed at the border of Yongyang Kingdom to start a war is so simple, it may involve Xizhou, Dongzhou, and Yongzhou, so no matter which state we go to now, it is not safe."
Yuan Zhenjian looked at Tao Fu and said, "Xun Xun and I encountered trouble when we went to Lishui Kingdom, and we heard a lot of rumors, because we were not sure, so we didn't tell everyone, since Fu mentioned it, we should do the worst. I plan to stay in Xizhou. Whether it is Lishui or the three states involved, Xizhou will definitely be the most affected. We go to Dongzhou to rely on you, Uncle Chen. Even if Dongzhou is chaotic, we will find a way to avoid it. It's fine."
Yuan Liuzhen thought about it from memory. The Uncle Chen mentioned by Yuan Zhenjian was named Chen Luozheng. He was in the jade business and had business contacts with the Yuan family. Sometimes they would go to Lishui Country to buy jade together and transport it back to Yongyang Country to sell.Yuan Liuzhen guessed that Yuan Zhenjian would go directly to Dongzhou after the war, probably because he had agreed with Uncle Chen in advance.
After Yuan Zhenjian said that, the others naturally didn't think much about it. Now they can only rush to Dongzhou as soon as possible. The current situation is to stay in Xizhou. Once the war starts, they will be more troublesome.
Yuan Liuzhen asked Tao Fu casually, "What did Lan Yue and the others plan?"
Tao Fu replied: "Lan Yue and the others went to Yongzhou. Lan Yue's family originally belonged to Yongzhou. Naturally, they returned to Yongzhou. Uncle Man and Li Niang took Xiao Man and Uncle Li to Yongzhou to seek refuge with Lan Yue. Lan Yue knew that we I didn’t say anything after going to Dongzhou, but if there is any danger in the future, you can go to Yongzhou to find them at any time.”
As for Yongzhou, Yuan Bo had never been there, didn't know much about it, and didn't say anything.
He felt relieved when he knew that Uncle Man, Li Niang and Shen Lanyue had gone to Yongzhou.
After eating, everyone rested outside the carriage except Yuan Liuzhen and Liu Xiangshuang.
Yuan Liuzhen was lying on the carriage with a lot of thoughts. Hearing what Tao Fu and Yuan Zhenjian said, he felt that the situation was not optimistic. The war in Yongyang Kingdom 24 years ago was due to rebellion, and it was encircled and suppressed by the current Emperor Yongyang. In addition to the capital city at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, Yongyang Kingdom is only divided into three prefectures, Xizhou, Dongzhou, and Yongzhou. The three prefectures are governed by three princes respectively. If the war between Lishui Kingdom and Yongyang Kingdom really involves Three states, then it is very likely that this war will spread to more remote places in Yongyang Kingdom.
In the next few days, they were on their way non-stop. Five days after they left Führer County, Lishui Kingdom and Yongyang Kingdom had already started a war, and the situation was not optimistic. More people from Xizhou flocked to Dongzhou and Yongzhou respectively.
Yuan Liuzhen saw more and more fleeing people, and it was not uncommon for people to be burned, killed and robbed on the road. If Tao Fu and Yuan Zhenjian were not there, they would have been robbed many times in the carriage, and it was also because of this, They have been on their way, bypassing several county towns, and successfully arrived at the gate of Dongzhou City.
At this time, the gate of Dongzhou City is heavily guarded, and you can still enter, but you need someone to respond to let you in, otherwise you will not be allowed in.
Yuan Zhenjian saw that the trustee delivered Chen Luozheng's token inside, so they waited outside at the gate of the city like other ordinary people who were not allowed to enter.
Through the window of the carriage, Yuan Liuzhen saw the people crowding outside the city gate, the people who had nothing to eat and robbed others for food, and saw the crying children who were waiting to be fed. .
It's the end of December now, and he has been pregnant for eight months. He basically won't get out of the carriage along the way. Now the degree of belly bulge is not suitable for him to walk around at will. He can only stay in the carriage. Only then will he get out of the carriage and walk around, otherwise if other people see him, if he doesn't explain, he will definitely think that a "man" with such a bulging abdomen must have some serious disease.
During the period of their escape, the Lishui Kingdom broke through the border of Xizhou, pressing forward step by step, and attacked the territory of Xizhou. They had to escape from Xizhou as soon as possible.
They have been on the road, they can't eat well, they can't sleep well, and they have to be alert to the robbers, all of them are exhausted.
The colder weather also made them a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, they arrived in time and arrived outside Dongzhou City, as long as they could enter Dongzhou City.
While waiting for Chen Luozheng, Yuan Liuzhen was very anxious, and so were Yuan Zhenjian and the others.
Fortunately, they only waited for half a day, and Chen Luozheng rode out of the city gate with his servants to pick them up.
Chen Luozheng and his servants came over and saw Yuan Zhenjian greeting him very familiarly, Yuan Liuzhen and the others also said hello to Chen Luozheng one by one.
When Chen Luozheng saw Yuan Liuzhen who was covered by a quilt in the carriage, he was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he asked them to follow them into the city as soon as possible, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get in when it was dark, and it would be very dangerous to stay outside the city.
They have experienced several waves of robbers in the past few days, so they naturally know what will happen at night outside the city where fish and dragons are mixed.
When they followed Chen Luozhen into the city, the guards outside the city gate needed to check the identities of those entering the city, so they were taken separately to a place outside the city gate to register and check their identities.
Tao Fu followed Yuan Liuzhen's carriage on horseback.
Because of Yuan Liuzhen's pregnancy, she didn't open the curtain of the carriage to look out at will. When checking her identity, she also took care not to let the inspector see his swollen abdomen. Liu Xiangshuang also explained to the inspector that Yuan Liuzhen had a cold.When the inspector checked, Yuan Liuzhen also pretended to have a cold.
It's just that when they checked their identities and were about to enter the city gate, the city gate officer happened to come riding over, saw them pay special attention to the group, and asked them to stop.
Tao Fu came to them as the city gate official on horseback, and saluted respectfully, but he didn't know why the city gate officer paid special attention to him, it seemed that he had been looking at him for a long time, and he couldn't help but look up at the city gate with his head down. The gatekeeper, with just one glance, he felt a little familiar.
The city gate official was tall, probably about the same size as Yuan Zhenjian, with a burly figure. After looking at him for a long time, he asked the guard to take a look at his identity verification registration before letting them pass.
When they entered Dongzhou City Gate, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After leaving the city gate, Chen Luozheng specifically asked Yuan Zhenjian, "Why did the city gate official look at Fu?"
Yuan Zhenjian shook his head unclearly, looked at Tao Fu, Tao Fu rode over and said, "I see that the city gate official is a little familiar, maybe it's Fan Tian."
Yuan Liuzhen sat in the carriage, heard Tao Fu's answer, opened the curtain, and asked Tao Fu, "Who is Fan Tian?"
Tao Fu frowned and replied, "Fan Tian is Aye Po's eldest son."
Yuan Liuzhen felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Tao Fu's answer, thinking of Ayepo in Ligou Village, Tao Fu and his previous experiences.It turned out that what Ayepo said about her son becoming a general was not true, but he became a city gatekeeper in Dongzhou. He knew Tao Fu and the conflict between him and Ayepo, so he couldn't help thinking that Ayepo would also enter Dongzhou. ?
The group was quickly brought to the Chen Mansion by Chen Luozheng. Now that the Lishui Kingdom has conquered the Western Province, Dongzhou is still normal. If the Lishui Kingdom continues to attack, it may not be long before the East Continent will be in chaos, right?
After Chen Luozheng brought them into the Chen Mansion, he cleaned up for them, as if he was not affected by the Xizhou war at all.
At the reception banquet, after everyone was seated, Chen Luozheng was a little surprised to find Yuan Liuzhen's swollen belly.
Before Chen Luozheng could ask, Yuan Zhenjian explained to Chen Luozheng with some embarrassment: "Brother Chen, Zhenzhen is actually my elder brother. My elder brother's red mole didn't appear until he was almost an adult, and now Zhenzhen is pregnant."
Chen Luozheng and his family were all shocked when they heard that Yuan Liuzhen was a brother. Chen Luozheng was so shocked that he didn't know what to say, but he didn't show it out of politeness. Instead, he praised: "Zhenzhen is a brother, very good Very good. The last time we went to Lishui country together, I never heard you mention it."
Yuan Zhenjian felt even more embarrassed. He only found out that Yuan Liuzhen was his brother in the last month.If it weren't for the war, Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu would have been married by now.Naturally, he couldn't say that Yuan Liuzhen had a child before he got married, but explained: "I didn't expect this, so I didn't mention it to you."
"So that's it." Chen Luozheng didn't ask too much, but was surprised that Yuan Liuzhen, who was so strong, was actually his brother. If his brother grew up to be like Yuan Liuzhen, they would still be so angry. No one will marry, right?He felt that Yuan Liuzhen was quite lucky, being so strong, he could still find a husband as talented as Tao Fu.He just thought about it for a while, and after the banquet started, they drank and chatted.
Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu sat together. When eating, Tao Fu carefully helped Yuan Liuzhen prepare the dishes.Yuan Liuzhen hadn't eaten well in the past few days, and now that he ate a lot of delicious food, he naturally ate more.
During the meal, he heard Yuan Zhenjian chatting with Chen Luozheng, and also heard some news from Chen Luozheng.
From Chen Luozheng's point of view, Dongzhou's army is strong and horses are strong. Now that the chaos in Xizhou does not affect Dongzhou, at least there will be no war in Dongzhou for a month, but they also need to prepare in advance to deal with the war in Dongzhou.
Yuan Zhenjian and the others were a little worried after hearing this, but Chen Luozheng reassured Yuan Zhenjian that there was no need to worry. If there was anything, they could escape the war with them. Their Dongzhou family has a rich background, so it is not difficult for them to avoid the war.
Yuan Zhenjian naturally believed in Chen Luozheng. Chen Luozheng's family has a rich background in Dongzhou, which is different from their family's fortune from Yuan Zhenjian.
After the welcome banquet, Chen Luozheng arranged them in a courtyard.
Yuan Zhenjian didn't say that Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu were not married, and Chen Luozheng had tacitly agreed that they were married.Therefore, the two were arranged in the same room.
In the room, the servants of the Chen family had prepared hot water. They traveled for a long time, were exhausted, sleepy and had no place to take a bath. Now that they saw the hot water, Yuan Liuzhen couldn't wait to take a bath and change clothes.
Tao Fu knew that it was inconvenient for Yuan Liuzhen to take a bath and change clothes, so he hurried over to help.
Yuan Liuzhen didn't refuse, but Tao Fu's shy appearance was the same as before, and his eyes still wouldn't stay on him for a long time. Yuan Liuzhen couldn't help laughing every time he saw Tao Fu like this.
The two hadn't been close for a long time, and Yuan Liuzhen deliberately teased him. After Tao Fu helped him undress and help him into the water, he grabbed Tao Fu who was about to leave, and kissed him directly. Tao Fu was suddenly kissed by Yuan Liuzhen, and his eyes widened , with crystals in his clear eyes.
Tao Fu was just stunned for a moment, then naturally he had to embrace Yuan Liuzhen, kissed for a long time before letting go of Yuan Liuzhen.
"Is the person Fu met outside the city gate really Fan Tian?" Yuan Liuzhen asked Tao Fu while slowly washing with hot water.
Tao Fu answered without looking in Yuan Liuzhen's direction, "Yes. When I was young, I followed Fan Tian and learned how to practice swords with Uncle Fan. I can't make a mistake."
"Would it be possible that Ayepo and the others also fled to Dongzhou?" Yuan Liuzhen asked.
"I don't know." Tao Fu replied.
"Then if Ayepo cares about what happened in Ligou Village, the situation in the court is unstable now, and if Fan Tian is a city gate official, Ayepo's character of chasing you may be bad for us." Yuan Liuzhen was suspicious. Said: "We should pay more attention recently."
"Okay." Tao Fu nodded and said, "If it's really dangerous, we'll go to Yongzhou. Lan Yue gave me a token before leaving. It's okay to go to Yongzhou to find Lan Yue and Uncle Man."
Yuan Liuzhen felt that it was okay, so she felt relieved.
Tonight, Yuan Zhenjian and Chen Luozheng seemed to be chatting happily, and Chen Luozheng didn't seem to want to harm them, and the last time Yuan Zhenjian and Chen Luozheng parted ways, Chen Luozheng asked Chen Luozheng to help keep some banknotes, and now they have returned Yuan Zhenjian. It is not a big deal for them to have the banknotes Worried about life problems, want to do business or want to escape Dongzhou to Yongzhou.
Because Tao Fu was visiting Du Fantian at the city gate that day, Tao Fu would go out to the Chen Mansion to inquire about news from time to time in the past few days.
It was also on the second day after they came to Chen's Mansion that it began to snow.
Because of the snow, Yuan Liuzhen seldom went out. If he went out, it was too cold, and he was afraid that he would fall, so Liu Xiangshuang also asked him not to go out.
Tao Fu would still cook delicious meals in the Chen family's kitchen and serve them to Yuan Liuzhen. After Yuan Liuzhen had eaten every day, he would sit in the room boredly and look at the snow outside the window or wait for Tao Fu to come back and tell him about the things outside. Sometimes, when tired of watching snow or painting, I will naturally fall asleep and sleep more.
On this day, he slept for several hours during the day and was not sleepy at night. He talked to Tao Fu, and soon Tao Fu fell asleep. He tossed and turned, and did not fall asleep until he saw two black shadows standing Before the door, he became alert, and he pushed Tao Fu who was sleeping beside him.
Tao Fu was pushed awake by him, and wanted to make a sound, but before he could make a sound, he covered his mouth and nose, and pointed to the black shadow in front of the door.
Tao Fu held Yuan Liuzhen's hand, nodded to indicate that he understood, and would not make a sound.
The two of them stared at the black shadow in front of the door, and after the black shadow stayed in front of the door for a short time, they smelled a fragrance. The moment Tao Fu smelled the fragrance, he covered Yuan Liuzhen's mouth and nose with his hands and whispered: "It's a drug, you cover your mouth and nose, I'll go down and find a wet cloth."
After Tao Fu finished speaking, he got off the bed lightly without making a sound. After getting the wet cloth, he handed it to him. Tao Fu also covered a wet cloth.
Tao Fu handed the wet cloth to Yuan Liuzhen and at the same time told Yuan Liuzhen not to let go of the wet cloth. When the two shadows disappeared in front of the door, he quickly walked out to follow the two shadows.
Not long after Yuan Liuzhen waited in the room, Tao Fu came back.
After Tao Fu came back, he opened the door and window to dissipate the sweet smell in the room, walked to Yuan Liuzhen and said to Yuan Liuzhen, "We need to get out of here as soon as possible. Just now I followed those two people and heard that they said it was Master Chen's order. It may be because of Fan Tian that he wanted to hand over us to the city gate officials. Fortunately, Zhenzhen asked me to go out to inquire about the news. Although I didn't find any useful information, I also knew some carriage shops that rented carriages. The two people just now I was called away by another person, and I will go to the room of my father, father, elder brother, and second brother to put drugs in a while, we have to leave here as soon as possible."
Yuan Liuzhen was a little startled when she heard this. If the city gate officials ordered Chen Luozheng to drug them, then it is very likely that this matter has something to do with Ayepo?He really couldn't figure out why Ayepo was always chasing after Tao Fu, but it was useless to think so much now, they were living in Dongzhou and Chen Mansion, and now Chen Luozheng wanted to help Fan Tian make them faint , maybe it was threatened by Fan Tian or something else, let's leave here first.
Yuan Liuzhen tidied up the clothes in the room and quickly put them into the bag, while Tao Fu went to the yard to wake up Yuan Zhenjian and the others.
After Yuan Liuzhen packed up his things, he quietly took Ah'Ban and the others who had fallen on the tree in the courtyard with them after they entered the Chen Mansion.After waiting at the door for a while, he saw Yuan Zhenjian and others who had finished packing.
Yuan Zhenjian didn't know about the conflicts between Tao Fu, Ayepo and Yuan Liuzhen, but after Tao Fu explained the situation, he didn't ask any more questions, and decided to leave the Chen Mansion first.
As they left, the snow began to fall harder and the visibility was very low, which also prepared them for fleeing here.
Now it is the war between Xizhou and Lishui Kingdom. In order to avoid the war from spreading to Dongzhou, Chen Luozheng needs to pay taxes and dismiss his servants. When the war broke out in Xizhou, he had already dismissed some of his servants immediately.They lived in the Chen Mansion for a few days, and Tao Fu went out more often, so he naturally knew that there were fewer people on that road.Under the cover of the wind and snow, they quickly escaped from the Chen residence along the road with few people.
The journey was safe and sound, avoiding several waves of servants, leaving the Chen residence, Tao Fu immediately took them to the chariot and horse shop, bought two carriages, one for Yuan Zhenjian, Liu Xiangshuang, and Yuan Liuxun, Tao Fu, Yuan Liuzhen, Yuan Liufeng and a carriage.
When buying a carriage, Tao Fu inquired about the news with the owner of the carriage and horse shop. The owner of the carriage and horse shop looked anxious and said to Tao Fu: "Just now I heard that the king of Xizhou was defeated, and now Xizhou has been captured by soldiers from the Lishui Kingdom." Occupation, I'm afraid we will soon hit Dongzhou. You rented the carriage so late because you got the news of the defeat of the King of Xizhou, right?
Tao Fu didn't know about it, but he still nodded and said "yes".
Then the owner of the carriage shop looked gloomy, and asked his servants to pack up quickly, and told Tao Fu while packing, "The king of Xizhou was defeated, Dongzhou has not allowed people from Xizhou to enter, and people who entered Xizhou before may I also need to verify their identities one by one. I have an elder brother who fled from Xizhou. Now he has not been safe for a few days. I am afraid that he will be called to verify his identity. Battlefield, isn’t that death?”
Yuan Liuzhen, Yuan Zhenjian and the others were startled when they heard what the shopkeeper of the carriage shop said. Tao Fu instantly understood why Chen Luozheng wanted to make them faint. He probably felt that they practiced more martial arts and it was difficult to control them. Fan Tian also specially emphasized that he must catch them Not to mention catching them and verifying their identities, in case of forced conscription or repatriation to Xizhou, it will be very troublesome for them, especially when Yuan Liuzhen is pregnant.If Ayepo and the others had already fled to Dongzhou, together with Fan Tian, and Ayepo knew of their existence and was given a reputation for being a meticulous worker, would they still have a life?
Thinking of this, they felt that it would be better to leave here as soon as possible.
They breathed a sigh of relief after the carriage drove away.
Yuan Liuzhen was protected by Tao Fu along the way. After getting into the carriage, she felt extremely cold, and asked Tao Fu who was driving the carriage: "Are we going to escape to Yongzhou?"
"We can only go to Yongzhou. Now that Xizhou has just been defeated, Dongzhou may be attacked immediately, and the shopkeeper of the chariot and horse shop said that it is the king of Dongzhou. I am afraid that he will investigate the Xizhou people who entered Dongzhou. We will not be spared. We will investigate the people of Xizhou. The notice should have not been issued, the order has not been issued, it is inconvenient for Fan Tian to make a move, otherwise Fan Tian would not have found the Chen Mansion, let Uncle Chen find someone to stun us, we have to leave Dongzhou as soon as possible before the order is issued Just do it."
Yuan Liuzhen looked worried, "Fortunately, from Dongzhou to Yongzhou, from here to the ferry, if the carriage is fast, it only takes one day. We need to get to the ferry as soon as possible."
It's just that not long after their carriage drove, they heard the sound of horses chasing them behind them.
When the man on horseback approached them not far away, Tao Fu could see the man's appearance clearly. The man's appearance looked like a guard of the Chen residence, and it was also because of this that he drove the carriage faster.
The horse riders also seemed to have discovered that the person driving the carriage was Tao Fu, and chased them even more intensely. There were at least a dozen servants of the Chen residence chasing them, and all of them were guards of the Chen residence with knives or swords. They knew how to drive a carriage. Behind them, the guards on horseback were even faster.
Seeing that the guards were about to catch up with them, Yuan Liuzhen was a little anxious, touched A'Ban who was brought out by him, remembered that he had trained A'Ban to forage for food, and pointed at A'Ban to chase them in the wind and snow The guards of Chen's residence and the lamps in the guards' hands made a posture for Ah'Ban to attack. After receiving the instruction, Ah'Ban flew out along the curtain of the carriage with a cry.
After the black figure of Ah'Ban flew out, he directly attacked the leading guard who followed them closely. The leading guard didn't notice Ah'Ban who was completely black because of the heavy wind and snow. It went off, and the movement of driving the horse was instantly unstable. Ah'Ban attacked the horse leading the guard. The horse neighed, and overturned the leading guard who was moving unsteadily to the ground.The guards following behind were affected by the sudden movement of the leading guards, and the speeding horses were affected, and they became a mess in an instant. A'Ban took advantage of the opportunity to attack the lights that were still on by the other guards, and when all the lights were turned off by it with its beak and claws After being overturned, it excitedly flew towards the carriage where Yuan Liuzhen was.
When Yuan Liuzhen was attacking the guards chasing them at A'Ban, Tao Fu accelerated the speed of driving the carriage without slowing down, and Yuan Zhenjian who was walking in front of them did not slow down the speed of driving the carriage.
After A'Ban flew back to the carriage, Yuan Liuzhen breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuan Liuzhen said to Tao Fu: "The servants of the Chen family have discovered us. We have to hurry on our way. If we can't do it, we should abandon the carriage and find a chance to escape. Hurry up and catch up with Dad and the others. I have something to say to Dad and the others."
Tao Fu knew that the situation was critical now, so he could only do what Yuan Liuzhen said.He drove the carriage faster, and quickly caught up with Yuan Zhenjian's carriage. It happened that the road here was wider, and the two carriages were driving side by side.
Yuan Liuzhen opened the curtain of the carriage and said to Yuan Zhenjian who was driving the carriage: "Father, the servants of the Chen family have discovered us and know the direction we are going. They may know that we are going to Yongzhou. I am pregnant now, so it is inconvenient to travel long distances. If it is easy to be found at the ferry, I decided to abandon the carriage and find a place to hide. You take your father, elder brother, and second brother to disguise and go to Yongzhou together. We will give you Lanyue's token, you When the time comes, go directly to Lan Yue, and we will go to you after the war is over."
After hearing this, Yuan Zhenjian disagreed and said: "If we want to go, we will go together, if we want to stay together, we will stay together."
Liu Xiangshuang, who was sitting in the carriage, heard what Yuan Liuzhen said and did not agree with them going to Yongzhou by themselves.
The only way Yuan Liuzhen can think of now is this. It is inconvenient for him to be pregnant, and he is already very uncomfortable because the carriage drove so fast just now.Besides, if it was really because of Fan Tian that the Chen family treated them like this, and Fan Tian did this to vent his anger on Aye Po, Fan Tian would not give up now that he is the gate official of Dongzhou City.They need to prepare for the worst.
Tao Fu and Yuan Liuzhen thought the same, and said at this time: "Father, Father, what Zhenzhen said is right, if we are easily discovered together, we will not be able to leave. You may go directly to the ferry later, and it may take trouble." The second brother stayed, I let Zhenzhen and the second brother get off the carriage, the second brother took care of Zhenzhen, and I drove the carriage to lead the servants of the Chen family to another road, so that everyone would be safer."
Yuan Zhenjian and Liu Xiangshuang still disagreed, but they could already see sporadic fires approaching them by looking back.Tao Fu anxiously said: "I can only do this now. I don't have to worry about being alone. I know martial arts. It's also convenient to hide alone. It happens that there are many mountains nearby, so I can lead them up the mountain. I grew up in the mountains and hid in the mountains. It's easy."
Seeing this, Yuan Zhenjian had no choice but to agree.
After the two carriages stopped, they blew out the lights on the carriage. Tao Fu took out Shen Lanyue's token from his sleeve and handed it to Yuan Zhenjian, telling Yuan Zhenjian that Shen Lanyue lived in Yongzhou Yuecheng, and that he could go directly to Yongzhou Yuecheng to find Shen Lanyue. .
Yuan Zhenjian took the token that Tao Fu gave him, and first instructed Tao Fu, and then Yuan Liufeng, asking Yuan Liufeng to take good care of Yuan Liuzhen. Be careful on your way."
After Yuan Zhenjian instructed Yuan Liufeng, he gave Yuan Liuzhen another instruction.
Liu Xiangshuang then instructed Yuan Liufeng and Tao Fu, and then Yuan Liuzhen.Liu Xiangshuang wanted Yuan Liuzhen to go with them, but Yuan Liuzhen stroked her swollen belly. Liu Xiangshuang already understood Yuan Liuzhen's meaning. He knew that Yuan Liuzhen made this decision because she was pregnant and couldn't travel long distances. It would take a month to get to Yongzhou by boat, and if something happened on the way, they would not be able to solve it. Thinking of this, he felt even more uncomfortable. If he had known Yuan Liuzhen was his brother, he would not have caused Yuan Liuzhen to suffer so much. He held Yuan Liuzhen's hand, took out several banknotes and stuffed them to Yuan Liuzhen, "Zhenzhen, you take these banknotes."
Yuan Liuzhen quickly refused: "Father, you have all the bank notes. Fu, me and my second brother don't have to worry, I can make money on my own, but you are going to Yongzhou with your father and elder brother. You are not familiar with the place, so you don't need money." Not enough money, besides, it takes a lot of money to go to the ferry, and now I still have the 50 taels of silver you gave me recently, if I save a little, it will be enough for us to avoid the limelight."
Tao Fu also said at this time: "Yes, father, I will take good care of Zhenzhen and prevent Zhenzhen from any harm or grievance."
Tao Fu also felt uncomfortable. If there was a way, they would also want to leave here together, but he knew that the city gate official might be Fan Tianhou. In order to avoid implicating Yuan Zhenjian and the others because of him, he could only agree with Yuan Liuzhen's decision, and he also knew Yuan Liuzhen's current physical condition is not suitable for traveling, they must find a safe place to settle down.
Liu Xiangshuang looked at Tao Fu with firm eyes, and also believed that Tao Fu could do what he said, so he instructed Tao Fu again.
Yuan Liuxun also told Yuan Liufeng, Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu a few words, they didn't dare to delay too long, so they bid farewell in a hurry.
Before Yuan Zhenjian left, Yuan Liuzhen gave Yuan Zhenjian a piece of wood that A'Ban usually likes to play with. The piece of wood was used by him to send letters to Xiaoman before. I don't know if Ah'Ban can send messages at such a long distance. Even if Ah'Ban cannot send messages between Dongzhou and Yongzhou, it will be more convenient for Ah'Ban to send messages when they go to Yongzhou.He handed the wooden block to Yuan Zhenjian to explain the situation, and Yuan Zhenjian put it away very well.
They watched Yuan Zhenjian's carriage leave, and Tao Fu said to Yuan Liufeng and Yuan Liuzhen: "The trees here happen to be dense and can shelter from the snow. You wait for me here, and I will drive the carriage to another place. If it is morning, I have not come back." , you just find a place to hide nearby, don't be found, I will come back to find you soon."
After Tao Fu finished speaking, he said "don't worry" to Yuan Liuzhen and drove the carriage to follow the bright direction of the fire.
Yuan Liuzhen looked anxiously at the direction Tao Fu left, and was taken by Yuan Liufeng to the nearby dense cypress trees.
There are many cypress trees here, and they are very short. You can hide under them to avoid the snow. If you don't make a sound, you will generally not be noticed.
When Tao Fu left, he took off all the quilts and other things from the carriage, and took A'Ban and them away. At this time, he and Yuan Liufeng hid in the cave formed by the cypress trees, and they were not particularly cold under the quilt.
Yuan Liufeng looked at Yuan Liuzhen, who didn't know what he was thinking, and comforted him: "Fu is fine. Fu knows martial arts and is very strong. Can he hunt a wild boar alone? Besides, Fu brought your sword when he left, and nothing will happen. .”
"Yeah. I know." Yuan Liuzhen replied: "With Ah Ban here, Ah Fu will find us. We will stay here until dawn, and after dawn, we will find other places to hide nearby."
Yuan Liufeng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Yuan Liuzhen didn't fall asleep until dawn, he was always thinking about Tao Fu's situation now?When can I come back.
