The Yanming of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 7 Murong Han Escapes Alone
The sun was setting to the west, and the setting sun was like blood. The grassland was sprinkled with golden light, and the wilderness seemed to be on fire.Wang Che had already buried the bow and arrows he had built overnight in the field ridge beside the trade road. A wooden pole was erected on it, the lower part was entangled with the bow and arrow, and the upper part was painted with a white stripe.

"Dang, clang, clang." The sound of closing the door three times sounded, and Wang Che and the old man took advantage of the final closing moment to rush into the city.Behind him, the city gate was closed, and the sun withdrew its last rays, disappearing below the horizon.

The two rushed to Gao Bi's place, Wang Che brought Pang Yue over, Gao Bi was surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Uncle Wang, why did this person come again, this matter..."

Wang Che hurriedly replied: "Nephew, without him, this matter cannot be done."

"That being the case," Gao Bi said eagerly, "Uncle Wang, you are here. You have been to the city for a few days, don't you know, I heard that there are rumors in the city that a team of Yuwen caravans returned to the capital city the day before. I In the tavern, I heard someone say, "Mr. Murong never died, he was named a Marquis in the year of dancing the spoon." Everyone took it as a joke, but this person said seriously, "This Murong family has produced many talents, and our Yuwen Department will suffer again. It is." Presumably the person who said it should know about Murong Ba."

The three of them were all worried, Wang Che said to the old man worriedly, "It's not too late, then we will act according to the plan tonight." Wang Che turned his head and asked Gao Bi, "Murong Han has behaved abnormally these few days, you Is there a way to contact him."

Gao Bi replied: "Uncle Shi told me that I observed Murong Han every day, and found that he would go outside the four city gates every day, and he would go to one place. He must be here now."

"Where?" The two asked eagerly.

"The reviewing ground in the city, at the stables."

The old man smiled and said: "This is God helping me, there is no time to delay, go quickly, and act according to plan."

Gao Bi asked in puzzlement, "What is the plan?"

Wang Che said, "You will know when the time comes."

In King Yuwen's tent, Yuwen Yidou returned, and got a new beauty presented by the Tuoba clan.In the past few days, I have been hanging out with her every night, that woman is shy and white, and she is also extremely charming, which makes Yuwen Yidougui very happy

"Qizou the Great King, Murong Han is pretending to be crazy and foolish, he looks suspicious and has to be investigated." She Yeqian knew that the King's interest was spoiled, so he knelt down and bowed down.

Seeing that King Yuwen pressed the beauty under him and was suddenly interrupted by someone, he couldn't help but feel very annoyed.Just as he was about to explode, he saw that it was Yuwen's number one brave general who was involved in the night, so he suppressed his anger and ordered someone to carry the woman out of the bed, adjusted her clothes a little, and gave her a seat.

Yuwen Yidougui said: "General Sheye, the starry night is here, thank you for your hard work."

"My lord, there are rumors in the city that Murong Han is pretending to be crazy. If he is accidentally allowed to escape, our country will be in great danger."

"General Sheye has said too much." Yuwen Yidougui was annoyed, "Our country has the most brave general Sheyegan, why worry about that little Murong."

"Your Majesty is too famous." She Yeqian stepped forward and said, "He has been in our Yuwen Tribe for many days, and he knows the mountains, rivers, landforms, and city defense fortresses. If he goes back and attacks my Yuwen in the future, he will almost know the way." She Yegan stood up. He cupped his hands and said, "Now that he's pretending to be crazy, why not..."

In other words, he made a beheading gesture.

"Since that's the case, I'll leave it up to the general how to deal with Murong Han." Yuwen Yidougui waved him away quickly.

"Sweeping my taste, if it wasn't for his hard work, I would have killed him long ago."Yuwen Yidou returns to the secret road

It was night, the moon and stars were thin, the old man had already arrived at the reviewing field, and he saw that Murong Han was still sitting there with disheveled hair, his body was covered with dirt, and he had an unpleasant stench.

"General Murong, this old man will help you out of the city tonight." The old man whispered in his ear.

This Murong Han was just pretending to be stupid, pretending not to know the details.

I saw the old man took out a golden knife, pulled it out slightly, the blade gleamed coldly under the moonlit night.

"Why did the old man get this thing?" Murong Han restrained his mad face, and caressed this thing involuntarily.

"General, there is no need to say more." The old man handed the golden knife to Murong Han.He exposed his neck, unbuttoned his clothes on his chest, and a scar more than a foot from a knife suddenly appeared. Murong Han was shocked: "Isn't the old man the one who was seriously injured in the Pingguo battle that day?"

"The general has a good memory. It seems that this thing will finally be returned to its original owner." The old man said with a smile, "Look at the horse in the stable, which horse is your favorite. Then you will ride the horse and whip, and only go east. Just go through the south gate."

"What do you mean? This is the Yuwen tribe's military horse farm. The military horse knows the master's heart, how can it be easily stolen." Murong Han didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Pang Yue's gourd.

"I think this horse is very good." After saying that, the old man pointed to a snow-white horse with eyes as big as bells and a fluttering mane. It was a good horse.

"This horse is called Yinshanxue, and it is Yuwen Yidougui's mount. How can it be stolen so easily?"

I saw the old man caressing the horse's head, stroking the horse's neck, smoothing its mane, and after a while he imitated his horse's bray, and the horse was terrified.The old man held the reins, and the horse was slowly let out by the old man, only to see Murong Han's eyes startled.

"Get on the horse quickly, General." Pang Yue hurriedly helped Murong Han onto the horse.

The horse neighed just now, and in between the words, a group of patrolling sergeants had already come over with torches to check the situation.

"General, hurry up, hurry up." Na Pang Yue couldn't help shouting.

"That's the case, thank you." Murong Han got on the horse, grabbed the rein, and stretched out his hand to lead him on the horse, but seeing him standing on the ground without moving a muscle, he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Pang Jiaoxi, it's not too late, let's go. Follow me quickly."

Seeing that Pang Yue yelled "Yo", the horse was already galloping forward.After the horse, Pang Yue knelt and cupped his hands and said: "General, take care, I have repaid my great kindness, now I have nothing to worry about, I respectfully send you off to the general."

The patrolling soldiers were astonished, and the leader shouted: "No, the king's Yinshanxue has been stolen, chase the thief quickly!"

I saw that group of soldiers coming forward, wanting to chase after them on horseback, but they saw that the horses were already disobedient.

"Get the hell out of here, you old man." The soldier said angrily, "Be careful of killing me."

I saw that Pang Yue was not afraid in the slightest, and was yelling, but the horses were still moving around.

"General, this old man seems to want death wholeheartedly, since that's the case..." said one of the soldiers under his command, "This old man seems to understand horse language, if he doesn't kill him, our army's horses will not be able to move forward."

The leading general waved his hand, and after saying that, the soldier stepped forward and drew out his saber...

That Wang Che and Master He Ge were drinking and drinking.Wang Che said: "I see that your guards are also working hard, so I asked those sergeants to come over and have a drink."

Then He Gesu and Wang Che had a good relationship, and since there was such a good thing as borrowing flowers to present Buddha, then He Ge would not be polite.After finishing speaking, He Ge called his brothers over, "Come on, thank you, Brother Wang."

After saying that, all the soldiers came forward to beg for a glass of wine.During the dinner, Wang Che and Gao Bi suddenly complained of a stomachache and wanted to go to the latrine, but He Ge just laughed and said: "Why is it so useless." Pointing to the tower, let them go down quickly, don't miss it This wine.

Wang Che and Gao Bi came to the gate of the city, and saw them slowly take down the door bolt, Wang Che wanted to go up the tower again, but Gao Bi held him back and said, "Uncle Wang, we have already accomplished our important task, why bother to take the risk again. "

Wang Che looked at him and said, "The moonlight is very good tonight. The moon on the grassland is brighter than usual. I'm going up to enjoy the moon."

Gao Bi was in a hurry, "Wang Canjun, I know, it was agreed before that as long as there are three poles in a month and four drums are played, the agreed time will come soon, you and I just need to pull the gate of the city gate, and we don't care about the rest. "

Wang Che said: "At that time, there will be someone riding a horse galloping past in that city. You open the city gate and follow that person on horseback to leave the city. You don't need to worry about me."

Gao Bi was about to cry, but he saw the king's chariot slowly going up the tower, leaving Gao Bi at the gate of the city.

"I said, Brother Wang, why did you go down for so long, you made our brothers wait for a long time." Lord Hege said slightly drunk.

"It's the villain's fault, I apologize to the adults." After saying that, Wang Che frequently poured wine on the soldiers.

Not long after, I saw dust flying in the city, and Murong Han was riding a horse galloping on the snowy mountain. This white horse galloped under the bright moonlight, shining like a heavenly horse.

Suddenly seeing a team of cavalry following behind, the leading general shouted: "Catch this man quickly."

Although most of the soldiers in the city were drinking, there was still a group of soldiers at the watchtower, and the drums were beating loudly.

"Come on, quickly follow me downstairs." This He Ge was full of wine and food, and his figure was getting full.But when he heard the military order, he cheered up.

"General, it's not good, the stairs have been pushed down." A soldier suddenly shouted.

"Hi, who is so bold, dare to act wildly on my territory." Master He Ge was still confused for a while.

The soldiers beside him whispered to him, and suddenly he was startled, his eyes lit up, as if he had sobered up.

"Well, you king chariot, you have been planning for a long time, just for today." Na Hege drew his sword and wanted to swing it at him.

It's a pity that He Ge has drunk too much after all, his body is messy, and his swordsmanship is blunt.Normally, Wang Che would not be his opponent, but now that Wang Che has the intention of going to death, He Ge can't do anything to him.

Not long after, Murong Han was already approaching the gate of the city, and he saw Gao Bi struggling to push the gate open, just allowing him to pass through alone, and Murong Han struggled forward.When they were about to pass the city gate, Gao Bi was pulled up, and the two of them sat on the horse together, went out of the city gate, and left in the dust.

The soldiers on the city wall were about to jump out of the rope.However, the space of the city tower is small, and the king's chariot is on the tower, rushing from left to right.Everyone watched helplessly as the two rushed out the door.

Although it was cloudy and snowy, but with two people on their backs, their horsepower was gradually exhausted.The pursuers of the Yuwen Ministry still pursued him closely.The leader is She Yegan.

I only heard Murong Han sighing: "If you have a good bow and arrow, even if the enemy has a hundred horses, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"General, my king has thought it all out. Not far ahead, at the field ridge beside the road, there is a white wooden pole. Under it is a three-stone bow. The king's chariot has already tied it under the pole. The general can just pull it out."

Murong Han couldn't help crying, "Fortunately King Yan misses you so much, and I feel sorry for my two righteous men."

Soon, Murong Han flew forward and pulled out the wooden pole, took out the bow and arrow, and hung it behind his back.

Seeing that the pursuers were approaching gradually, with only a hundred steps left, the hatchback stopped, and Murong Han signaled Gao Bi to get off his horse and wait.

The leader is She Yegan, only to hear that person shout: "Murong old thief, my king takes pity on you, so he took you in at this time of distress, why did you turn against me?"

Murong Han clasped his hands and said: "I have lived in another country for a long time, and I miss my hometown. This time I have already stepped on the horse to go home, and I will never go back to Yuwen again."

She Yegan said angrily: "You have been pretending to be crazy and foolish for a long time, so it's for this day." After saying that, She Yegan was ready to chase after him with a knife.

"Mice, don't think that I'm just pretending to be crazy because I'm not skilled enough. I can shoot you in the head from a hundred steps away. Don't force me to shoot an arrow." Murong Han took out the arrow from his back.

This Sheye Gan knew his archery skills, and he was already a little timid, but he saw a young general under his tent, who was eager to make meritorious service, and was about to flatter his horse and move forward.

Murong Han saw that he was not tall and didn't know how deep he was, so he said: "Although I am despised in your country and the whole country despises me, but I think you are still young, so I don't want to do harm to you. You put the machete on On this ground, if my bow and arrow pass through the ring, you don't have to come and die, if you miss it, it will not be too late to chase after you." After saying this, Murong Han drew his bow and set his arrow, ready to go.

The young general listened, seeing that Murong Han had no intention of running away, he followed what he said and set the scimitar on the ground.

I saw Murong Han draw his bow and nock his arrow, and there was a crisp "嗖", the bow and arrow only pierced the knife ring, the rest remained motionless.

Everyone was shocked, and the horses seemed to be terrified too.Seeing that all the generals wanted to return, Sheye Gan waved his hand and retreated to the capital.

"General, the closest to the Yuwen Department is our border city of Yan, Yuyin and Anjin, let's go quickly." Gao Bi said.

"Absolutely not." Murong Han said anxiously, "I, Yan Guosu, and the Yuwen Department are against each other, and now you and I are absconding in the starry night, I am afraid that there will be many ambushes on this road."

"Since that's the case, General, where is the best place to return to the country?"

"I have lived in the Yuwen Ministry for many days, and I already know the local mountains and rivers, and the deployment of troops." Murong Han waved his hand and pointed to the southwest, "You and I will turn back to the west, near the border of the Duanbu, and the Duanbu will communicate with the Yuwen Ministry. Alright, there aren't many patrolling soldiers, so you can escape cheaply. Then go south and enter our Yan territory in Liucheng, that's the way to go."

At this time, the night is gradually getting dark. Although it is the end of February, the spring in the north is late and full of chills.

The candles in Concubine Lan's bedroom were flickering, it was past the third watch, King Yan got up from Concubine Lan's couch, and kept pacing in the courtyard.

King Yan asked his servant, "Is there any news from Yuyin, Anjin, and the two cities?" The servant replied, "No."

"Stand back now." King Yan said.

The servant slowly retreated outside the court, only to see Concubine Na Lan outside the court.The servant was surprised, and Concubine Lan pressed her fingers lightly on her lips, signaling the servant to keep silent, and asked quietly: "I see that King Yan has been thinking a lot these days, why?" Talk to me, but in the past few days, I have been frequently asked if there is any news about Yuyin and Anjin, but there is no news, the villain is very distressed."

"I think the weather is cold, the king's clothes are thin, Xiao Ai, you can quickly get the fox fur." ​​Concubine Lan told her maid.

Not long after, Concubine Lan walked towards King Yan with the fox fur, and slowly put it on King Yan.

"Oh, it's Concubine Lan, why did you wake up so early?" King Yan asked absently.

"Your Majesty has been in a state of restless thoughts for the past few days, can my concubine relieve the King's worries?" Concubine Lan asked.

"Lan Shuyi, do you know that the inner palace is not allowed to engage in government affairs, this is the ancestral system established by the previous king, I don't blame you for your first offense." The King of Yan said angrily.

Concubine Lan didn't see any annoyance, she just said lightly: "I am not interested in this important military affairs and I don't want to hear about it, but you can talk about any troubles between ordinary people and husbands and wives. If my king is bored, why not tell me The concubine said, just treat me as a country woman, and this kind of joking between husband and wife is a common thing."

"Pfft, that's how it is." King Yan relieved his frowning, but saw Concubine Lan's side face was dignified and beautiful under the light of the candle.Although she has already given birth to a child, she is still young after all. This evening, she was dressed thinly, except for a brocade robe, which made her figure more plump and light.Under the tulle inside, there is indeed a mark of tenderness just now.King Yan couldn't help but feel good about him.

"My concubine, you said that one of the two brothers has been away from home for many years, and the younger brother asked him to come back, can he come back?" King Yan slowly hugged Concubine Lan and helped her waist.

"The crow feeds back, the tired bird returns to the forest, and it's human nature for the fallen leaves to return. Who doesn't want to return to their hometown." Lan Fei also slowly hooked King Yan.

"That's how it is." King Yan said calmly.

During the speech, the waiter hurried over and reported to King Yan in a panic.

Concubine Lan also knew the rules, slipped from King Yan's embrace, and retreated into the inner room consciously, never heard of it.

After a while, the servant left, and King Yan sighed even deeper in the court.

"I think it's that brother, did he encounter any problems?" Concubine Lan said slowly again.

"The elder brother arrived at the house, but he didn't go in for a long time. No matter how much the younger brother persuaded him, it was useless. What do you say about the younger brother?" King Yan sighed.

"So that's the case. That elder brother must be feeling uneasy. I heard that people who travel far away return home to clean up the dust. If there is a rift between brothers and want to reconcile now, they will ask the village head to bear witness. What's more. What's more, we go to the ancestral hall together, and the gods share the same experience, and hold a big feast for fear that everyone will not know. There are some things that I want to hide, but the more publicized this kind of luck, the better." Lan Fei looked at King Yan tenderly.

"Oh, that's really the case." King Yan's eyes lit up inadvertently, "Aifei wakes up Gu."

The King of Yan was about to go out, but he saw Concubine Lan stretching out her slender wrist and hugging King Yan.

"King Yan is the hero of the world, loved by his subjects, it's not too late to be a concubine's husband tonight." Concubine Lan said shyly.

"You beloved concubine." Yan Wang laughed, and hugged her while talking, "husband" Concubine Lan leaned on Yan Wang's chest while whispering.King Yan carried her through the palace gate, through the curtain...
