First brother conceived

Folded into a small piece, took off a piece of fish skin from the neck, opened the gap with his fingernails, stuffed the paper into the jade pendant, and hung the jade tablet back around the neck.

With high mental activity and heavy body, Yuan Zhuo walked back to the previous chair and sat down. After a while, he fell asleep. After waking up and seeing the man's earnest face, Yuan Zhuo gave a small slap Yawning, he said lazily, "Are you back?"

"Well, why don't you sleep on the bed when you're tired, and what should you do if you're caught in the wind."

"Too sleepy and fell asleep sitting up."

"Are you hungry?"

"Um"

"Let's eat."

"Okay," Yuan Zhuo responded, and stretched out his hand to let Yuan Tuo help him up, and the two of them sat down at the table.

Yuan Tuo picked up the chopsticks to pick up food for Yuan Zhuo, and Yuan Zhuo picked up the chopsticks before he was about to eat, when Yiran came in suddenly from the room, Yuan Zhuo looked up, it turned out that the person who came was Qilin, and Qilin walked up to Yuan Tuo's ear in a few steps, After saying something in a low voice, Yuan Tuo cursed, stood up from the chair, asked Qi Lin to go out and wait for him first, then turned around and said to Yuan Zhuo: "Brother, let Yuan Qian, Bai Hu and the old shopkeeper come over to guard you, If there is anything at night, you can leave from the secret path, don't wait for me." After finishing speaking, he went out.

Yuan Zhuo grabbed Yuan Tuo's sleeve, stood up from the chair, took off a jade token from his neck and hung it on Yuan Tuo's neck, "These are two jade tokens my father gave me, and there is something inside , when it comes to a critical moment, open it again..."

Yuan Tuo nodded, stretched out his hand to pull Yuan Zhuo closer to his arms, and hugged him tightly, "I will transfer the emperor's people out of the city first, even if everything is safe tonight, you can't stay here anymore, change to another place , if I don't contact you, don't act rashly." "Okay!" Yuan Zhuo nodded in agreement, stepped back, and watched Yuan Tuo leave...

74. Sleepy City

After Yuan Tuo left, Bai Hu, Yuan Qian, and Doctor Lu who stayed in the mansion all went to Yuan Zhuo's bedroom.

Yuan Zhuo leaned against the bed with his eyes open blankly, but his pupils were not focused, and the dishes on the table did not move at all. After Yuan Tuo left, Yuan Zhuo kept leaning on the hair tie.

Holding the sword in Baihu's arms, he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes for self-cultivation. Yuan Qian was almost in a daze just like Yuan Zhuo. He just felt sad when he parted from Chu Jiang last time. He was terrified, no matter how afraid he was, he was afraid that the person with honey on his mouth, inconspicuous, and full of ruffian, this time two months of getting along, made the two people's heads hot before, and it became what it is now, like rice cakes. Can not do without anyone.

"Huh..." Yuan Qian let out a long breath, and lowered his head on the table.This time, Dr. Lu really became a passer-by as his name suggests, and he stayed on the sidelines with nothing to do. He couldn't understand the moaning and sighing of the two young masters in the room, because he hadn't met the one who made him fascinated. transferred to the person.

Yuan Zhuo has been thinking about what Yuan Tuo has been doing these days. Yuan Tuo has mobilized all the peripheral people to formally declare war on the emperor, to attack the emperor in the name of Prince De, and to use all kinds of viciousness of the emperor through various channels. The dissemination, the hearts of the people were on the sidelines, coupled with the sudden emergence of an army, in just seven days, Yuantuo's generals' best friends and Prince De's old troops gathered in various places to attack the capital, and the emperor's defenders, under their iron hooves, simply It’s as if it was paper, but in just a few days, several cities have been captured. It is said that many city gates are opened to welcome them. Every time a city is captured, the local corrupt officials and bullies will be executed in the street. The officials took office as quickly as possible, and the old emperor and the defenders were also recruited for management. Everything was in order, and everyone knew that this was planned long ago.

The emperor was not an idiot either, he did not know where he got the news, he knew that someone giving orders was in the capital, although Yuan Tuo and the others didn't say anything these two days, Yuan Zhuo knew that there was already a ruckus outside and arresting people everywhere, the emperor seemed to be Knowing that he has caused public grievances, this time he made an exception and did not kill all the people caught, but only criminally detained, and only those who were really convicted of crimes would be tortured.

The method Yuan Tuo and the others have been using to transmit messages is very covert, but at the gate of the city, the emperor sent many of his men to guard it. It cannot be exposed, so more and more intercepted news, although there are really very few that are actually sent to the emperor.

Yuan Tuo has taken a lot of precautions. He has been carrying out almost all the time in the foreign side. He doesn't know every step of dealing with the man in the palace, but judging from everything he knows, Yuan Tuo should be fine this time. At least it is not difficult to go out of the city, even though he knew it, Yuan Zhuo was still worried, the sound of his heart beating was very heavy, lingering in his ears.

In the blink of an eye, it was late at night, and Yuan Tuo didn't come back. Yuan Zhuo heard the noise on the street outside at his bedside, the sound of soldiers running and shouting, and half of the sky was lit by the torches on the street. The dark night sky is a piece of yellow...

Yuan Zhuo's heart was pulled together, he didn't move his body but he didn't know where his heart was going. Yuan Qian didn't have Yuan Zhuo's concentration, his mind was unsteady, and his body was even more unsteady. Nails grew on him, and he couldn't sit still. He walked up and down the room, making people feel irritable just by looking at him like that, but no one could stop him, and no one stopped him.

Doctor Lu, who was sitting opposite Yuan Qian, was indifferent to everything, leaning on the left side and dozing off, Bai Hu seemed worried, jumped onto the roof, stood there and looked outside...

Outside the capital city, in the woods beside the moat, a dozen men in ordinary clothes and black scarves crawled out of a circular hole one by one. Several of them held torches in their hands, illuminating the surroundings brightly.

Yuan Tuo stood in the middle of the crowd, took the torch from one of them, and said to the others, "Have you all come out?" The others took off the black scarves on their faces, and Chu Jiang stood beside Yuan Tuo, "Let's Everyone around came out, and there was no one missing after I stopped just now."

Yuan Tuo saw that Chu Jiang was sure that there was no shortage of numbers, so he yelled at Kui who was standing in the crowd and asked Kui to set off fireworks to see if all the people who broke through from other places were safe.

With a muffled bang, a white firework rose into the sky. Yuan Tuo smelled the strong smell of gunpowder around him, and waited for other fireworks to take off. One, Yuan Tuo looked at it for a while, and greeted the others. A group of people ran towards Benxi on the right side of the woods, ran to the open space less than a hundred meters away, rode on the flattery placed in the open space, and headed towards the distance. gallop.

Chu Jiang and Yuan Tuo stood side by side, waving the horsewhip with their hands to drive the mount under their crotch to run fast, but their eyes looked at the capital city that was getting farther and farther behind them, and it took a long time until the capital city was no longer seen. Yuan Tuo, who walked forward on his shoulders, said, "Is it safe to put them all in the city?"

"I want to take them out, but it's even more unsafe." Yuan Tuo looked ahead, unable to see his expression in the dark night, but his tone revealed his uneasy mood at the moment. He knew that with Yuan Zhuo's behavior and intelligence, He will be fine, but his heart is not at peace. Just now when they retreated, the capital was mopping up and arresting people. He set off fireworks not only to ensure the safety of other people, but also to lure people from the city to the city. In order to reduce the risk of Yuan Zhuo being searched, although this incident happened suddenly, he had already thought that there would be such a day, and everything was prepared, including the retreat of Yuan Qian and the three of them.

Chu Jiang didn't speak any more. He knew that Yuan Tuo cared as much for those people in the city as he did. He sighed and comforted himself that the more dangerous the place was, the safer it was. What they had to face next was a few tough battles. This might really be better for them... The sound of horseshoes became louder with the gathering of several people.

Yuan Tuo and his group of nearly a hundred people went farther and farther. At the same time, the soldiers and generals who were mopping up the capital saw the fireworks shooting into the sky outside the city. I went down to search for them. Although the place where the fireworks were set off was already empty, they still dutifully scoured the area, which was of course useless.

Baihu standing on the roof saw the fireworks and saw the people who were led out of the city because of the fireworks. He knew Yuantuo's plan, and when he saw those fireworks, he knew that those people had left safely. He jumped off the eaves and put The news was told to Yuan Zhuo and Yuan Qian, both of them felt relieved, and Yuan Zhuo's body broke out in a layer of sweat, and he collapsed to the side of the bed.

Bai Hu knew Yuan Zhuo's appearance, worried about Yuan Zhuo's body, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask Yuan Zhuo if he was not feeling well.

"I'm fine, we'll leave when dawn comes." Yuan Zhuo's face was very pale, and now he's relaxed from the tension just now, and looks a lot more lethargic.

Yuan Qian's expression was similar to Yuan Zhuo's. Hearing Yuan Zhuo's words, he went to Yuan Zhuo's side and grabbed Yuan Zhuo's wrist, took out a bottle of medicine from his arms, and poured out one to Yuan Zhuo's mouth. .

After Yuan Zhuo ate, he leaned against the bed and closed his eyes to rest...

The sky was bright, because of last night's mopping up, people in the capital were in a state of panic, this morning was particularly cold, there were almost no pedestrians on the street, and even businessmen didn't set up their stalls, four people walked out from a very desolate small hut , walked along the alley of the hut from west to east, and came to the back door of a very small and dilapidated tavern, opened the door and walked in, watching them enter, a man dressed as a young man greeted them, As soon as he spoke, Yuan Zhuo came out, this man was his confidant Chi, and Chi brought the four of them upstairs.

Five people go to the right side of the second floor
