At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 541
Changsun Wugou and others left from the back gate of Yongfu Temple, walked along the path through a pine forest and then onto the main road, where two ordinary carriages and several horses had already been prepared.

"Wuji, is everyone here?" Changsun Heng'an saw Changsun Wuji and others turning out of the path, and immediately stepped forward to meet him and asked.

Changsun Wuji nodded: "It's all here, thank you, Second Brother."

The eldest grandson Hengan said solemnly: "My brother, what are you talking about, let's go, when Wugou and the others left the city, they followed a few tails, and now they are still staring at the main gate, hurry up, or something will change if it is too late."

Changsun Wuji's heart trembled slightly, he held Changsun Heng'an's hand and said, "Second brother, why not go to Youzhou with us, with the talent of second brother, I think it will be useful."

Changsun Heng'an was obviously moved, but he hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "Let's wait for a chance to talk about it later, it's not the right time now."

Changsun Wuji said disappointedly: "Second brother, is he worried about that bastard Changsun Anye?"

The eldest grandson Heng'an sighed and said: "Even if An Ye is a jerk, he is still his own brother after all. The second brother can't leave him alone. Don't worry, our brothers have already separated and lived in separate families. The emperor should not blame the second brother for his anger." superior."

Changsun Wuji had no choice but to say: "Second brother, take care of yourself. If you have a chance in the future, you can come to Youzhou to find your younger brother at any time."

The eldest grandson Heng'an nodded, then clasped his fists to Gao Kaishan and said, "Please take care of Gao's family, I wish you a smooth trip."

Gao Kaishan bowed his hand in return and said goodbye, then Changsun Wugou and Chen Shi got into two carriages respectively and hurried towards Hulao Pass.

Changsun Heng'an watched Gao Kaishan and his party go away, then he put on his bamboo hat and rode away.

Besides, Fei Yuwei's three-eyed liner, chatting and farting under the shade of a tree, unknowingly dozed off, suddenly felt a burning pain on his cheek, opened his eyes quickly, and jumped up in fright.

It turned out that at some point, Dai Chunren, the deacon of the Feiyu Guard, was standing in front of them, his eyes were cold and angry, and behind him was a group of heavily armed Feiyu Guards, all of whom were sweating profusely, obviously just arrived.

"Dai... Deacon Dai!" The three Fei Yuwei eyeliners saluted hurriedly. They were unavoidably uneasy when they were caught sleeping in during work hours.

Deacon Dai asked coldly, "Where are Gao Changqing's parents and wife Changsun?"

"Worshiping incense and worshiping Buddha in the temple, well, all the carriages and horses of the Gao family are there." The leader Fei Yuwei pointed to the carriage parked not far away, and dozens of horses tied to the trees. horse road.

Dai Chunren heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, it turned out that he suddenly woke up that the widow of the eldest grandson's family, Mrs. Gao, and the eldest grandson Wugou's aunt, Mrs. Xianyu, also went out of the city in the name of offering incense and worshiping Buddha. The whole family went out of the city in the name of worshiping Buddha, and they couldn't help but feel a little vigilant, so they brought people to see what happened in person, just in case of accidents.

As a result, when Dai Chunren went outside Yongfu Temple, he found that his three eyeliners had fallen asleep under the shade of a tree. He couldn't help being furious, and immediately slapped each of them to wake them up.

"Tell you to keep an eye on me, and you actually fell asleep. If someone escapes, be careful with your skin." Dai Chunren kicked the leader's eyeliner away, and strode towards Yongfu Temple with two subordinates. .

However, this Deacon Dai walked around the Yongfu Temple and saw no one. He suddenly realized that something was wrong, and grabbed an old monk near the merit box and asked, "Where is the eldest grandson of the Gao family?"

The old monk, Baoxiang Zhuangyan, was sitting near the merit box to release the lottery for the believers. Suddenly, Dai Chunren violently grabbed him and said angrily: "Where is the madman, so rude, let go!"

Deacon Dai raised his hand and threw the old monk to the ground. He fell hard and said with a sneer, "Old bald donkey, do you recognize this thing?"

Deacon Dai raised the Feiyuwei waist badge in his hand, and the old monk's expression changed slightly, and he put his hands together and said, "Amituofo, Lao Na did nothing wrong."

"Stop talking nonsense, where are Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Changsun who came to offer incense in the temple today?" Dai Chunren asked in a grim voice.

The old monk stammered and said: "Since the person is not here, why don't the official look for it in other halls?"

Dai Chunren scolded coldly: "You don't need to say it, of course you have searched all over!"

"Maybe he left after praying to Buddha!"

"There are all the horses and chariots outside, and the people should still be in the temple."

"Well, then...maybe rest in the fasting room."

"Where is the fasting room?" Dai Chunren asked hastily.

The old monk got up and patted his buttocks and said: "This old Na is not clear, the official has to ask the guest monk."

Dai Chunren picked up the old monk and shouted sharply: "Stop talking nonsense, take me there right away, otherwise this Yongfu Temple will be burned down."

The old monk said in horror: "Lao Na is only in charge of releasing the lottery. Even if the official burns Yongfu Temple, Lao Na will not know which fasting room Changsun is in."

Dai Chunren threw the old monk to the ground again, causing the latter to roll his eyes, and the believers around couldn't help but gathered around to criticize him.

"Feiyuwei is doing business, and the idlers are all out of the way." Deacon Dai snarled, broke away from the crowd and rushed to the back of the temple, and caught another monk on the way to ask, hey, this monk knows the temple where Changsun's is. house.

Deacon Dai hurriedly ordered the monk to lead the way, but when he opened the door of the fasting room, he found that there was no one there. The monk couldn't help being dumbfounded, and said puzzledly: "Mrs. .”

Deacon Dai's complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there a back door here?"

"Yes, it leads to the small pine forest behind." The monk said.

Deacon Dai hurriedly led his people to the back gate of Yongfu Temple, followed the small path through a pine forest, and came to the main road. When he found the hoof tracks and ruts on the road, his heart sank, and he blurted out: "No, people ran away. Quickly take the horse and chase after it!"

Deacon Dai hurriedly returned to the square in front of Yongfu Temple with his men, took the horses and chased after him, but at this moment Changsun Wuji and his party had been away for nearly an hour, there would be ghosts if they could catch up.

Let's say that Deacon Dai led dozens of Feiyuwei riders to catch up to Hulaoguan, and found that the door was closed, so he shouted to the Guancheng: "Feiyuwei is doing business, immediately open the gate and let it go."

After a while, a young general poked his head out from the city and lazily said, "It will be dark soon, stop passing the customs today, come back tomorrow if you have something to do."

Deacon Dai glanced at the sun that was still high, and it was still some time before dark, so he couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "It's not dark yet, open and close the door immediately and let us pass, we have urgent matters."

The young general curled his lips and said, "Don't mind me if you are in a hurry. The door is already closed. There is no reason to reopen it. Please go early tomorrow." After speaking, he stretched and shrank back.

Deacon Dai was furious and said: "We are Fei Yuwei, and we have urgent business to do. If you miss a major event, you will lose your head carefully."

The young general sneered and said, "It's so majestic. Could it be that the matter of your Fei Yuwei is the only important matter, and our matter of guarding the pass is not a major matter? The Wagang bandits are close at hand. If the Hulao Pass is lost, can you afford it? Now The closed door is closed, even if you, the heavenly king, Lao Tzu, don’t open it, come back tomorrow.”

Deacon Dai's lungs exploded with anger, and he laughed back in anger: "What an arrogant guy, I see that you are impatient, do you dare to report your name?"

This young general was obviously also young and full of vigor, and he said angrily: "This general will not change his name and sit down without changing his surname, Pei Xingyan is the same!"

Deacon Dai's face was cold, and he said fiercely: "Pei Xingyan, okay, just wait for me."

"Deacon Dai, this Pei Xingyan is a good friend of Gao Changqing. When Gao Changqing and the Changsun family got married, he went with him to meet the relatives. In all likelihood, he was protecting the Changsun family. We have to enter the customs immediately to arrest people, otherwise the Changsun family will be killed." Run away." A Fei Yuwei whispered anxiously.

Deacon Dai said angrily: "You think I don't want to, but the city gate is closed, and you let me fly in to arrest people?"

The Fei Yuwei said in a sly way: "I don't mean that, Pei Xingyan is young and energetic, he is a man of loyalty, and he can do anything for his friends, but his father Pei Renji is the general guard, and he knows the general situation better. If he knew about this, he would definitely let us in."

Deacon Dai frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

The Fei Yuwei said in a low voice: "Pei Xingyan must not be guarding the top of the city all the time. After he leaves, Deacon Dai will call Guan again. The people below must not dare to neglect and report to Pei Renji."

Deacon Dai rolled his eyes and said, "It makes sense!"

Hence, Dai Chunren led Fei Yuwei and left deliberately cursing.

On the top of the city wall, Pei Xingyan watched the group of Feiyu guards go away, and then sneered disdainfully: "You are still acquainted, dare not leave, I will let you taste my horses tonight, bah!"

"Listen well. If Fei Yuwei comes again, don't pay attention to their shouting. If anyone dares to open the door and let them in, be careful." Pei Xingyan warned fiercely.

A group of soldiers guarding the gate solemnly agreed, and Pei Xingyan left the city calmly.

Hulao Pass is just a pass city, and all the guards live here, so there is no inn or anything, so Pei Xingyan vacated a few barracks to accommodate Gao Kaishan and others.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wugou, his mother Gaoshi, and his aunt Xianyushi were meeting together, they were overjoyed, they held hands and greeted each other.

When Pei Xingyan walked in, Gao Kaishan and Changsun Wuji were discussing the next step.

"Gao Shibo, Brother Auxiliary Machine, are you still used to living here?" Pei Xingyan asked with a smile.

Gao Kaishan smiled and said: "It's okay, it's really troublesome this time, but Shibo discussed it with Wuji just now, and decided to travel overnight to be safer."

Pei Xingyan said in amazement: "Rushing all night? Could it be that Gao Shibo doesn't trust Xingyan?"

Gao Kaishan shook his head and said: "That's not the case, don't misunderstand Xingyan."

Changsun Wuji quickly explained: "Brother Xingyan really misunderstood. As the saying goes, there are long nights and many dreams. Hulao Pass is right under Dongdu's eyes. Anything can happen. Besides, it's okay if I just pass the pass. If we stay overnight in Guanzhong, if the court traces it down in the future, I'm afraid it will be very detrimental to Xingyan and your father, so it's better for us to leave as soon as possible."

Pei Xingyan said with a smile when he heard the words: "It doesn't matter, Feiyuwei has been blocked by me just now, they can't even enter Guancheng, Shibo and auxiliary machine brothers can rest assured to stay here for one night, and I will wait until dawn." Send you off personally, and I promise nothing will happen."

Gao Kaishan and Changsun Wuji looked at each other awe-inspiringly, and the latter said solemnly: "Since Fei Yuwei has already chased after him, then I can't wait for a long time, please trouble brother Xingyan to make arrangements, I will leave immediately."
