The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 67 Leave
"Brother Geng!"

"Hello everyone."

The carriage stopped on the street outside, Geng Qing walked into the county government office, surrounded by policemen and officials who were busy, and greeted him in a hurry, and he smiled back and asked where the county magistrate was.

When he entered the public room, Zhao Hongjun was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, as if he was hesitating about something, when he saw Geng Qing coming in, he handed a document to the waiting yamen servant, told him to leave, and invited Geng Qing to sit down. Down.

"I heard you're leaving?"

Encountering great changes, Shatuo people are likely to attack the city. In a few days, the fat county magistrate not only did not lose weight, but also looked fatter. , he poured a cup of tea and handed it over, sighed and sat down.

"The county forced you to come to the county government office as a civil servant. It is perfectly normal for you to want to leave in your heart. When are you going to leave?"

"Maybe in just one or two days, the more people leave, the more things will be prepared."

Geng Qing didn't mean to be polite, it was true, the Golden Knife Gang's foundation needed to be sold, and in exchange for the silver, it was put away to settle down some businesses, so preparations before leaving were naturally essential.

The Fat County Magistrate sighed, looked at the smart young man in front of him, and knew that such a small place would not be able to stay, not to mention it was a time of chaos, "I also think it is a good thing to go to Chang'an. Fortunately, with the connections of that person in the palace, you can give it a try, it's better than staying here."

For the rest, neither of them continued. They were silent for a while. Zhao Hongjun knew that Geng Qing still wanted to find An Jingsi, so he didn't keep him any longer.

"An Xianwei should be in the refugee camp outside the city at this time, you should go over there and have a look."

"Yes."

Coming out of the public room, Geng Qing looked back at the re-closed door and frowned slightly: "Is this fat county magistrate changed his gender today?"Usually, he was afraid of death, but now he has an attitude of righteousness and generosity. Could it be that he looks down on life and death? '

Geng Qing was right after thinking about it, he is the county magistrate, if he left out of fear of death, who in the city would preside over the situation?As for myself, after all, I don't have much sense of belonging in my heart. The only thing I can do is to avoid bad things for those close to me if I can prevent them from encountering bad things.

As for himself, he is also afraid of death.

After leaving the yamen, I took a picture of Dachun, who was in a daze, and drove all the way outside the city in a chariot. Several street soldiers had already started patrolling the streets. They were also forced to move to other places, and they have already made preparations to defend the city.

The sound of horseshoes, the sound of shafts, and the nervous shouts of soldiers could be heard all around. Before leaving the city, the carriage met An Jingsi who was coming back at the gate of the city. He was wearing an armor and cloak. The chariot looked at it, then turned over and got off the horse.

Geng Qing opened the curtain and got out of the car, "I also said to look for you outside the city, it seems that I don't have to travel far."

In fact, when I came to the city gate, I heard Dachun say what Lieutenant An was coming over, and at this moment I said the last sentence with a smile, and An Jingsi suddenly realized "ah", but his expression was mostly exhausted. , "Brother Geng, let's talk as we walk."

"Then it's better to go to the city wall. I have never gone up to see it."

"Okay." An Jingsi nodded, arched his hands, and spread out to the inner steps over there: "Brother Geng, please!"

Geng Qing also made a gesture of invitation, and the two walked up the stone steps slowly. The steps under their feet were old and mottled with thick moss, and there were gaps in some places, and some were broken. Not repaired.

There is a one-year age difference between the two, but Geng Qing is actually older. An Jingsi couldn't help but speak first as he walked past a banner with the word 'Tang' written on it.

"Brother Geng, are you ready to leave?"

"Don't put on that face, it's not that serious." Geng Qing walked past him, turned around and waved his hands, looking at the refugee camp that could be vaguely seen outside the city.

"I just came here to ask, are you willing to leave with me?"

Without waiting for the other party to speak, he touched the green and black on the wall, and followed closely: "You have also seen that the city wall is broken, and there are countless Shatuo people lurking outside, how many people are there in Weizhou and Yunzhou in the distance?" Enemy, there are iron mines here, it must be a place of contention, you can't hold it."

An Jingsi fell silent, then nodded, and said with a smile: "Then I have to guard, I am the county captain, and I have the responsibility to protect the people and guard the land, so I can't give up, but brother Geng can go, so let's go, you have your parents, and you have your parents in your heart." Concern, and family business, if you stay, you will lose everything, and you may even lose your life."

He turned around, looked at the flagpole in front of him, looked up, and saw the big flag with the word "Tang" fluttering in the wind. Geng Qing, who originally wanted to persuade him, saw his expression looking at the flag, and the words came to his lips. Swallowing it back into the stomach, it is useless to talk about it.

The two put aside the possible battle, and chatted casually about homework. After noon, they went down the city wall together. When they watched each other go to the horse, Geng Qing suddenly stopped him.

"Brother Geng, what else is there?" An Jingsi turned around and was dragged aside. Geng Qing looked around, her tone of voice was sincere and admonishing.

"Do you remember what I said for my brother when the Niu family collected the corpses that day? You must save your life and live well."

"Please also explain clearly."

"...When things happen, you can't violate it, then let nature take its course and surrender to the other party! If I do something in Chang'an, I will help you regain your identity and get rid of the suspicion of traitors."

"No. This matter." An Jingsi shook his head hastily.

Geng Qing was so angry that he knocked on the breastplate on his chest, and lowered his voice: "Don't be so stubborn, treat me as a brother, just be obedient, once your head dies from heat, you'll be fine, but if you're alive, you may turn things around!"

He spread his palms flat and made a flipping motion.

".At that time, I will say that you feigned surrender, just to lie inside the enemy. If the two sides face off in the future, at the critical moment, you will be a surprise soldier and come back with a counterattack."

An Jingsi opened his mouth slightly, the content of his words was too far-reaching, even a little bold, a direction he had never thought of at all.

"Brother Geng, it's easy to say, but how do you know that you can make a difference in Chang'an? At that time, I will be a general in the Shatuo army. What do you think I will do if I hit the city of Chang'an?"

"Then I will find a way to open the city gate for you and welcome the army into the city."

"Hahaha, I hope so!"

The two suddenly laughed, causing the surrounding soldiers to look at them. After a long time, the two stopped laughing and looked at each other in silence. Then they raised their hands and clapped each other, then turned and left.

"Brother Geng!"

When Geng Qing climbed onto the chariot, behind him An Jingsi was riding on his horse, clasping his fists heavily: "Take care!"

"Take care of yourself!"

The carriage turned around and drove away, and put down the curtain until An Jingsi, who was still clasping his hands on horseback under the tower, was no longer visible. Then, he turned around and went to the Golden Knife Gang to see how the preparations were going. Bai Yunxiang was a little reluctant But now no one is willing to take over at this time, and several large households in the city are also preparing to flee. When Dou Wei came to ask, they were already preparing to bring land deeds, soft goods, and grain, which were full of tens of thousands of dollars. Several large vehicles.

"It's fine if you can't sell it. It's not much anyway. Eighty-nine thousand taels is enough to start a family business again. However, you may have to use some tricks. But it's too late to compare with the current difficulties."

After a few words of consolation, he told Dou Wei to hurry up and get ready, gather at Gengjia Village tomorrow morning, and take the mountain road to Yanmen. As for the gang members, they are all willing to go. It is very likely that he will be captured and sent to the city wall to assist in the defense. How he will die then is unknown.

The day of departure has been fixed. After Geng Qing explained the matter here, he went out of the city and bought a few dendrobium rice grains, packed them in a carriage and returned to Gengjia Village. Wrapped in a circle, the green bamboo is elastic and not easy to break. When encountering difficult roads, you don't have to worry about the wheels being damaged.

Everything is ready.

It was getting dark, parents hid in the house and said something, Qiao Niang sat under the oil lamp and bit off the end of the thread, was sewing a pair of old shoes, looking into the yard from time to time.

Geng Qing sat under the tree without any sleepiness, hugged the little fox, stroked its fur, and looked at the dark yard.

When the sun shines, what will the future look like?
He was somewhat hesitant and looking forward to it.
