Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 360 Escape
"Sister, we killed people!" Li Suwen sobbed tremblingly, "It's terrible!"

"Suwen, don't you always say you want to avenge your mother? Why are you afraid now?"

"But isn't this female officer A Niang's enemy?"

"Suwen, Auntie's enemy is the queen. She has countless minions, and this woman is just one of them. If you dare not kill even one of her minions, how can you avenge your mother?"

Li Suwen's face changed slightly when she heard her sister mentioned the hatred of killing her mother. She wiped the tears on her face: "My sister taught me that I was wrong, but what should I do next? What if we let that wicked woman know that we killed her?" Your subordinates will definitely not let us go!"

"This slut came with a maid waiting outside, you go out and bring her in, and kill her together, we are about the same size as them, as long as we change into their clothes and put on a veiled hat, we can mix Get out, escape from here, let's find a way!"

Li Suwen was panicking, and hearing Li Xiayu's words, she seemed to grab a life-saving straw and nodded, "Okay, sister, just do as you said, and I'll go out and lure that lowly servant girl in." !"

"Don't panic! Let's hide the body first!" Li Xiayu called to stop her sister, and the two moved the female officer's body to the bed, then tidied up her clothes and patted her shoulder after confirming that there were no traces left. : "When you go out, tell that lowly servant girl that the female official has suddenly passed out, and if you lead her in, it will be the same as before when you do it later, just grab her hands!"

"Yeah!" Li Suwen nodded, walked out the door, and came back with a little maid a while later, saying: "I don't know what's going on, just now I was talking and suddenly passed out. And my sister helped her to lie on the bed, come and see!"

"It must be because I have been too tired these days!" The servant girl saw that the female officer was lying inward with her back facing her, and was about to step forward to see what happened, when suddenly Li Suwen grabbed her hands, her eyes were cold.

"What are you doing--" She subconsciously felt something was wrong, and was about to struggle when a thin rope came from behind and strangled her throat.

"Suwen, hurry up!" Li Xiayu strangled the maidservant's throat, while pulling her hands back forcefully, while pressing her knees against the other's vest, the maidservant's hands were grabbed and her throat was strangled. Already out of breath.

"Sister, I'm out of breath!" Li Suwen probed the maidservant's breath and said in a low voice.

"Very good, hurry up, you change the clothes of this maidservant, and I change the clothes of that female official, hurry up, or later will change!"

"En!" Li Suwen responded, and hurried to untie the maid's belt, but she didn't know why, she just felt that her fingers seemed to be knotted, and after a long time, not only did she not untie the dead man's belt, on the contrary, it became tighter and tighter. Pulled into a ball into a knot.

"Suwen, why haven't you finished changing?"

Li Suwen turned her head and saw Li Xiayu standing aside, she had already changed into the female officer's clothes, she couldn't help lowering her head instinctively: "Sister, I don't know why, it's just, it's just that I can't get rid of it—" Speaking of Here, tears flowed down uncontrollably.

Li Xiayu saw that her younger sister was full of fear, obviously because she had just killed someone, and she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in her heart. This younger sister was born in the emperor's family, but she didn't enjoy the blessings for a few days, and she was thrown into limbo at a young age , life is not as good as that of the lowest servant in the palace, finally turned around, but was forced to kill by himself, if the mother had a spirit underground, I really don't know what I would think.

"Suwen, don't worry, it's not a big deal, let my sister solve it!" Li Xiayu embraced her sister, patted her back twice, and comforted her softly.

Under Li Xiayu's hug and comfort, Li Suwen's tense body quickly softened, she shook her head: "I can do it without my sister!" After saying that, she broke free from Li Xiayu's embrace, three times With two strokes, he untied the maidservant's belt, took off her clothes, and then took off her own clothes to put on again.

"Sister, what should I do with these two corpses? Put them under the bed?"

"No, there is a well in the yard, throw it into the well!" Li Xiayu said: "If the thief finds out later, we can increase the time to escape!"

"Well, sister said yes!"

Jin Ren asked about the house.

"Lang Jun! Cao Wenzong is asking to see him outside the mansion?" Hei Chi Changzhi said in a low voice.

"Cao Wenzong, is that General Cao?" Wang Wenzuo took a sip of his wine. There were too many things going on during this time, and he almost forgot about this person: "Did you say anything?"

"I didn't say anything! I just said it's an urgent matter, and I can only say it in front of you!" Hei Chi Changzhi observed Wang Wenzuo's face: "Or just say that you have something to go out, just say no!"

"Forget it! Let him in!" Wang Wenzuo waved his hand: "At the beginning, he was a responsible person. If he hadn't really had no other choice, he wouldn't have found me here. He was just doing good deeds!"

"Yes, then I'll lure him right away!"

After a while, Cao Wenzong came in, bowed his knees and kowtowed: "The villain knocked on Wang Sima! Please Wang Sima give a helping hand and save Cao's whole family!"

"General Cao, please get up!" Wang Wenzuo was a little confused by Cao Wenzong's blow: "What are you doing! Get up and talk!"

Cao Wenzong couldn't get up: "The villain can't be called a general, but he is a sinner and dare not get up!"

Seeing Cao Wenzong like this, Wang Wenzuo had no choice but to ask the servant to bring a mat and let Cao Wenzong kneel on the mat: "You say you are a sinner, did you participate in the riots a few days ago?"

"Then how could it be!" Cao Wenzong hurriedly distinguished: "Although the villain has never read any books since he was a child, he still knows right from wrong. Those villains who do evil and evil deeds usually don't dare to take a second look, let alone do it!"

"I remember Xiao Yi said that there are several disciples under your sect who are also capable. Could it be that they did something bad?"

"Although those children have some skills, they are still strictly controlled by villains on weekdays. How dare they do such things. During the riot that day, the villain led his disciples to shut the door and guarded himself, and did not do anything bad!"

"Then since you haven't done anything evil, why do you come to beg me? Could it be that the government wronged you?"

"It can't be said to be wronged!" Cao Wenzong smiled bitterly. It turned out that since the last riot, the imperial court issued an edict to conscript [-] Chang'an vicious youths to join the army in Anxi. Cao Wenzong's family was also among them, so they ran to Wang Wenzuo came here to ask for advice.

"Sixty thousand vicious youngsters? What a great handicraft of the court!" Wang Wenzuo couldn't help saying, he looked at Cao Wenzong: "But at your age, you can't be considered a vicious young man, right?"

"Sima doesn't know that this time, not only vicious youngsters are recruited, but also sons-in-law and businessmen, as long as they are rascals and idlers in Chang'an City, they are all included in the conscript!"

"Then you don't count?"

Cao Wenzong showed a wry smile: "Although the villain is strict with the children in the family, he has a somewhat false reputation. Some of the villainous youths in Beijing have learned swords and crossbows from the villain for a few days, so Jing Zhaoyin took the The villain's name is included!"

Hearing this, Wang Wenzuo understood.It turns out that after this incident, the imperial court enlisted the villainous youths to increase the strength of Anxi and strengthen the defense against Tubo, but more importantly, it was to eliminate the potential instability factors in Chang'an. Cao Wenzong, who is very skilled in martial arts, has many disciples No matter how cautious he is, it is difficult to escape the list above.

"I probably understand, so what do you want? Stay in Chang'an? Or something else?"

"Sima, you are joking, how dare the villain dare to expect to stay in Chang'an?" Cao Wenzong shook his head and sighed: "I don't want to hide it from you. When I came to Chang'an, the villain really wanted to report to the country with his own ability, make some achievements, and honor the ancestors. Thoughts. But as I got older and achieved nothing, I thought I could pass on the skills passed down from my ancestors and cultivate these children into talents; but after this incident, the villain understood that this Chang'an is not something ordinary people can treat. Even if he is not expropriated to Anxi, the villain himself will leave!"

"You don't want to stay in Chang'an, so why don't you want to go to Anxi? Could it be because you want to fight the Tubo people there?"

"It's not that the villain doesn't want to go to Anxi, nor does it want to fight the Tubo people. It's just that he doesn't want to be conscripted to Anxi like this! The 6 people confiscated to Anxi this time are like sinners. Slave trade, I am afraid that before meeting the Tubo people, it will be dead."

Hearing this, Wang Wenzuo also understood that although this kind of enlistment of evil youths in the Tang Dynasty was sent to serve as soldiers in name, it was different from the usual government soldiers and recruits, and was closer to the exorcism of later generations. Most people will only become servants of local officials rather than soldiers, and local officials will abuse and enslave them at will. No matter how good his martial arts skills are, Cao Wenzong would not want to go to Anxi in this way.

"So there are such things!" Wang Wenzuo nodded: "Then why didn't you escape? With the skills of you and your disciples, it shouldn't be difficult to escape, right?"

"Sima, you don't know anything!" Cao Wenzong sighed: "If I escape, not only will my family be implicated, but I will also have nowhere to go. I can only hide in Zhongnan Mountains as a refugee. Due to my livelihood, I will soon die. Becoming a bandit is a dead end sooner or later."

"That's true, but I never thought of it!" Wang Wenzuo sighed. Although the household registration system in the Tang Dynasty can be said to be full of loopholes, it was for the wealthy and powerful local tyrants. For ordinary people with no wealth and power, it is as dense and airtight as a spider web, especially in the Guanzhong area, where the land that can be farmed must have been reclaimed long ago. Cao Wenzong and his family and disciples will either go to serve as tyrants. Boys and servants, either go to the depths of the Zhongnan Mountains where no birds live and become refugees. If you are lucky, you can find a small valley with water and plant land, otherwise you can only become robbers and bandits. Please reward me if I cut off my head.

"I understand what you mean!" Wang Wenzuo thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Well, you go back first, I will give you an answer to this matter in two days!"

"Thank you, Wang Sima?" Cao Wenzong was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed.Wang Wenzuo did not evade, accepted his worship, and when he went out, he said in a deep voice: "Come on, let Wu Xiaoyi come to see me as soon as Wu Xiaoyi comes back!"

at dusk.

Wang Wenzuo put down the soup bowl and let out a long breath. He had to admit that the cook of Jin Renwen's family was really a very smart guy. He could cook dried plums and vegetables, steamed eggs with shrimps, and vinegared cabbage just by his own verbal description. It was really not easy to restore a few home-cooked dishes. Wang Wenzuo even began to consider whether to ask Jin Renwen to ask this cook to accompany him to Baekje.

"Lang Jun, do you want to see me?" Wu Xiaoyi's voice came from outside the door.

"Well, yes!" Wang Wenzuo nodded: "Have you eaten yet?"

"not yet!"

"Didn't eat? Then just come in and have some food together, and bring Xiaoyi a pair of bowls and chopsticks!"

Wu Xiaoyi looked at Wang Wenzuo with some hesitation, and saw that the other party's face was full of oil, and there were seven or eight dishes on the table in front of the door, obviously eating.Just behind him hesitating, the maid had already brought the bowls and chopsticks and placed them on the table.

"I've finished eating, you can do what you want!" Wang Wenzuo picked his teeth while drinking the soup, and pointed to the plate on the table with a smile: "These dishes are all good, you can't eat them outside, Don't think it's leftovers, it's not a coincidence that someone told you to come here, I've almost finished eating, let's make it!"

The corner of Wu Xiaoyi's mouth twitched, she didn't know how to answer for a while, the tempting aroma of the food was arousing his appetite, he hesitated for a moment, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating, and as he started eating, he put down the chopsticks The speed is getting faster and faster, and after a while, several dishes on the table are swept away.

"I'm right! This cook is very skilled, and you may not be able to eat these dishes in the palace!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "Hey, pour a bowl of hot soup for Xiao Yi to digest!"

Perhaps the food in his mouth dispelled Wu Xiaoyi's vigilance, and his tense cheeks relaxed a lot. He took the soup bowl and took a sip: "What do you want me to do, sir?"

"I can't tell you the order. Go out with me at night?"

"At night?" Wu Xiaoyi asked in surprise, "You should know, right? There will be a curfew outside Chang'an City Square after dark!"

"Of course I know that, but this curfew shouldn't control you or me, right?"

Wu Xiaoyi took a look at Wang Wenzuo, and drank all the leftover soup in the bowl: "When are you leaving?"

"If you're done eating, do it now!"

--------------------------

The night falls, covering all directions.

"Please go this way!" Hei Chi Changzhi carefully pushed open the corner door, and used the torch in his hand to light the way for Wang Wenzuo.

"Lang Jun!" Wu Xiaoyi whispered: "I still want to advise you, if you are not in a hurry, it is best not to go to the streets after dark, the streets of Chang'an at night are very unsafe!"
