Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2542
Towards dawn, suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and it began to rain lightly.

The moon was covered by clouds, and the dark sky seemed to rush towards us, giving people a strong sense of oppression. The rain was pattering and the breeze was blowing, making it cool.

A group of knights braved the wind and rain and galloped on the official road.

The torches had already been doused by the rain. Although the rain was not heavy, water gradually accumulated on the official road. The horseshoes stepped on it and splashed muddy water, which seemed quite hasty.

The Weishui River on the left side of the official road was surging in the dark night, and the horseshoes were clattering. This team of knights left Chang'an City from Jinguang Gate and rushed westward all the way.

From Chang'an to Longxi, there are several roads. The most common one is crossing the Weishui River and going northwest to Xiaoguan, passing Xiaoguan Road to Lanzhou Governor's Mansion and entering Longxi County; the other is to cross the Weishui River, Turn west and leave Dashan Pass, take Longguan Road, pass through Wugong and Fengxiang Mansions, and enter Longxi.

Logically speaking, it would be closer to take the North Road, Xiaoguan Road, but the mountain roads are quite winding and winding, making it difficult for horses to speed up, while Longguan Road is close to the Weishui Continent, which is spacious and flat, which is suitable for horses to travel in a hurry.

These Guanlong children got into trouble in Chang'an City and were scolded and reprimanded by the families. At this moment, they were panic-stricken. They only knew that they had to rush to Longxi as quickly as possible and hide on their own territory. The court caught the crime of beating the prince and the prince's sons enough to send them into the army...

So we can only take the Longguan Road.

Fortunately, the guards at various checkpoints on this road are all Guanlong children. When they saw the letters and tokens of our family, even if they risked the crime of "privately letting go", they would try their best to give them convenience, let them go all the way unimpeded, Soon they escaped from the range of Chang'an.

It's just that the rain is getting heavier and the road is becoming more and more difficult. These dudes think that no one will follow them at this moment, so they gradually slow down.

On weekdays, these dudes live in a dignified state, traveling in cars and horses, rushing forward and back, they are already extremely exhausted after this hasty journey, and the rain has soaked their clothes, and they are in a state of embarrassment. It became more and more difficult to move, and the majestic pass behind seemed to cut off all fears, so complaints began to arise.

"Mother! Is this ghostly weather against us? The moon, which was still full before, started to rain in the blink of an eye!"

"Who says it's not? It's unlucky, look at my muddy body, it's so uncomfortable."

"Go back to Lanzhou and let your charming concubine lick it clean for you? Haha, I said Daxi Saburo, why don't you let my brother go back home with you and enjoy the sweet tongue treatment?"

"Fuck you! You still have the heart to think about these things at this moment? You should hurry up, if you are caught up, you will be in big trouble!"

Daxi Sanlang wiped the muddy water from his face on the horse, and said he was going on his way, but he couldn't help slowing down when he saw the companions around him slowing down.

Someone sighed and said: "It's bad luck. You said that if you meet a beautiful lady on the street, how could she be the daughter of Fang Xuanling's family? That's all, but you can still meet a group of clan children, but His Majesty's son, The prince's sons are all in the crowd, but the young son of the prince's family has his nose broken... It's bad luck."

That said, the rest of the people also echoed.

Nada Xi Sanlang shook his head and said, "You haven't figured out the relationship yet... In fact, it is a heinous crime to beat the clan's children, especially the prince's son, but with the current relationship between Guanlong and the royal family, His Majesty is really serious. He will not punish us in any way, and may not even take us to prison for punishment. Otherwise, His Majesty will be very embarrassed if the point of the needle is confronted with Maimang. But Fang Jun is not to be provoked, and His Majesty can hold back his anger and ignore us But Fang Jun can't spare us."

The Daxi family used to be a powerful family in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The ancestor Daxi Wu and his son Daxi Zhenguan came to the Shangzhu Kingdom. They had military power and dominated one side. They became one of the famous "Twelve Generals", a wealthy family for generations.

Since the two fathers and sons passed away, the Daxi family has no outstanding figures. It is only because of the legacy of their ancestors that they can still be regarded as a prominent family, but they are strong outside and capable in the outside world. Now they have long been reduced to the vassals of other Guanlong nobles. It's hard to do anything above, and you can only manage the affairs of merchants and merchants, as wings and minions.

However, although Da Xi Sanlang sells goods in Longxi all day long, he admires Fang Jun quite a lot, and he often pays attention to Fang Jun's movements and deeds, and knows Fang Jun's temperament and temperament, so he has such words.

In his opinion, maybe His Majesty can endure a moment of calm for the sake of the stability of the court, but Fang Jun's stick is absolutely unbearable, and this guy has always been at odds with Guan Long, and he has been fighting openly and secretly with Changsun Wuji. The two sons, Changsun Chong and Changsun Dan, were said to have been assassinated by someone sent by Fang Jun, and the latter suffered a tragic death for no apparent reason.

Although there is a sign of Guan Long's children on their heads, they know better than anyone that they are just peripheral personnel of Guan Long. Now they have provoked Fang Jun inexplicably. Who knows if Fang Jun will simply send out elite soldiers under his command? Will, kill them all after catching up?

After all, all parties are unwilling to deal with this matter openly. If Fang Jun really catches them up and kills them, and then throws the corpses into the Wei River to feed the fish, at this moment, no one will come forward to ask them for justice. .

If you die, you will die in vain...

The more Da Xi Sanlang thought about it, the more frightened he became. In addition, the clothes on Yuye Jixing's body were already soaked, and the breeze blew through him a little chilly, and he couldn't help shivering.

He licked his lips, and said seriously: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, don't underestimate Fang Jun's arrogance, let's hurry back to Longxi, find a place to hide honestly, and wait until the limelight passes before we can find a way out .”

Others were not as panicked as he was. Although they were afraid of Fang Jun's reputation, no one thought that Fang Jun would really be able to catch up with them and do anything to them. As long as he touched a hair of them, it would be equivalent to killing all the nobles in Guanlong. If you offend him, even if Fang Jun is a stick, he is definitely not a fool if he can go straight to the top of the sky and be promoted to the rank of the official, right?

Besides, the road is very slippery and difficult to drive on this rainy night, and it is too much to suffer if you drive like crazy like before...

Someone looked around, and suddenly saw a dimly lit place in the distance, and couldn't help but said happily: "There is a post station ahead, let's go and rest for a while, drink some hot water and eat some food, and then wait for the rain to lighten up. It's not too late to hurry."

When he said this, everyone agreed.

Ever since the scuffle in the evening, I have been frightened and frightened since then, and the water rice has not broken my teeth, and now I have been riding for an hour, tired, hungry and cold, and my spirits have long been depressed. This suggestion immediately The already low morale fell to the bottom in an instant.

These playboys thought they were out of danger, and they were unwilling to leave...

Everyone gritted their teeth and braved the rain and rode to the vicinity. After a glance, they realized that it was not a post station, but a few houses hidden in the woods. There was also a distance from the official road, but the night was dark and the lights were particularly conspicuous. This was discovered by them.

Someone said: "Whether it's a post station or not, these families get up quite early, at best, give them some money to buy some food and hot water."

The big guys are a little disappointed, how can such a few families provide so much food to entertain so many people?But even if there is a sip of hot water to drink, it would be good to have a rest, so they rushed over.

Daxi Sanlang glanced at the path of the rain behind him, always feeling uneasy, he rejected the invitation from his companions to go with him, and said loudly: "I have something to do at home, let's go first, let's meet in Lanzhou!"

After saying that, he reined in the horse and clamped the horse's belly, braved the rain and ran on the official road, heading straight for Longxi.

Not long after he passed by, a group of cavalry rushed up in the rain. When the group of cavalry came here, they all reined in their horses. Some people got off their horses and carefully examined the horseshoe marks on the ground covered by the muddy rain. , got up and came to the horse of the leading knight, and said in a low voice: "General, the thief has been deposed from the official path, but there is still one person who continues on the road. Do you want to divide the army to pursue him?"

Immediately the knight was naturally Gao Kan, he followed the direction of the scout's finger, looked at the lights exposed in the forest, and said expressionlessly: "A mere fish that slipped through the net does not affect the overall situation, it is his fate." No need to pursue them! Everyone dismounts and hides, first surround those houses, and let Lao Tzu catch all these thieves!"
