Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 1021
Zijin's face darkened, and his hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword.

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly shook his head at Zijin and asked her to open the door first and ask what was going on.

Zijin exhaled and then walked to the door and opened it.The people who knocked on the door were officers and soldiers, and they were the people brought by Marquis Yun Liang Shi.

"Marquis Yun has booked this inn, you should pack your things and leave here quickly!"

Zi Jin pursed his lips, then frowned and said, "We'll stay here first!"

"Have you grown ears? Marquis Yun wants to stay in this inn, so hurry up and make room!"

"But there are so many rooms in this inn, and you can't fill them all. Why don't you give us one?"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!"

The officer and soldier scolded him and went to the next door to knock on the door again.Zijin closed the door, turned around and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Marquis Yun doesn't know we live here."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "That's good. You go and inform Feng Zheng. Aunt Bai and I will pack our things and we'll meet in the backyard."

"it is good."

After Zijin went out, Liu Yunxiang saw that Aunt Bai's face was pale, her body was still shaking slightly, and she looked panicked.

"Aunt Bai, are you afraid of him?"

Aunt Bai nodded, "He is the only legitimate son of the old Marquis. The old Marquis naturally values ​​him. Whenever he has conflicts with anyone, the old Marquis prefers him regardless of the reason. He has a bad temper and often beats and scolds his servants. Even our aunts, he didn't have any scruples at all. Later, he made military exploits on the battlefield, and when the old Marquis passed away, he attacked the Marquis and became the person in power in the house. No one dared to mess with him. One time, his son Liang Wen'an deliberately poured water on Yu'er. It was still winter at that time. Yu'er was so angry that she tried to snatch the water ladle from his hand, but when you and I went back and forth, Liang Wen'an fell to the ground. Liang Wen'an cried and went to talk to Liang Wen'an. Shi made a complaint, and Liang Shi ordered people to take off the thick clothes from our mother and daughter, lock them in a woodshed, and freeze like this all night."

Speaking of the past days in the Hou Mansion, Aunt Bai couldn't help but shrink.

"This beast!"

Liu Yunxiang cursed and comforted Aunt Bai, telling her not to be afraid.

"We can only avoid him for now, but bad guys will not have a good end, just wait and see."

The two disguised themselves before coming out of the house.Unexpectedly, when they were going downstairs, they met Liang Shi coming upstairs, and the two of them suddenly had their hearts in their throats.

Seeing that Aunt Bai's legs were weak and she could no longer walk, Liu Yunxiang hurriedly helped her down.

"I'm going to West Vietnam to seek peace. Sincerity is not enough, there is no need to discuss anything." Liang Shi went upstairs and turned around to talk to his subordinates.

"Three hundred war horses, isn't this sincerity enough?" the subordinate said.

"Is Xiyue short of horses? This is not what they want."

"Then what do they want?"

"During the Battle of Lingnan, they took a fancy to the Qilin Cannon in Zhenbei and wanted to make the formula for this artillery shell."

"Oh, that's really embarrassing for us. Only Zhenbei can make these Qilin cannons and Qilin bombs."

"Isn't Yan Mu in Xiyue Prison?"

"What do you mean by Lord Hou?"

"Let Xiyue force him to question him. If he refuses to tell him, he will use torture. In short, he will torture him until the end, but he will not escape death. The first purpose of our trip is to negotiate peace, and the second purpose is to deal with Yan Mu."

"What the Marquis said is that whether they can get the recipe for the Qilin Cannon depends on their ability."

The two walked over as they spoke. Liu Yunxiang and Aunt Bai hurriedly lowered their heads. They passed each other on the stairs.But just after they passed by, before they could relax, Liang Shi suddenly stopped them.

"Let the waiter go outside and buy some good wine. Don't deal with it with that plain water."

Liu Yunxiang swallowed and bent in Liang Shi's direction.

"Are you mute?" The subordinate shouted.

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly changed his voice and said, "Yes." After saying this, Liang Shi and Liang Shi went upstairs with satisfaction.

Hearing the distant footsteps, Liu Yunxiang let out a big breath, then turned to look at Aunt Bai. She was holding the stair railing and could no longer stand.Liu Yunxiang hurriedly helped her up, and the two quickly came to the backyard.

Feng Zheng had already moved the camels outside the door. Zi Jin picked up two bags of soft goods and led them out the back door.

After walking out for a long time, Liu Yunxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Feng Zheng, have you got the customs clearance documents?"

Liang Shi is also going to West Vietnam, and he is going to harm Yan Mu. It is best for them to get to West Vietnam before him.

"I was looking for the officer and soldier guarding the gate. It cost me 100 taels. He said he would get a fake one and give it to me tonight."

"fake?"

"Well, if he takes office tomorrow, he will naturally turn a blind eye and let Aunt Bai follow us and get away with it."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Then early tomorrow, you must not bump into Liang Shi."

"Okay, I'll tell him tonight."

That night, Feng Zheng got the fake customs clearance document, and they set off early the next morning.Seeing the guard at the pass, Feng Zheng deliberately asked him to check the customs clearance documents.

The two of them had their numbers, and the guard looked at Aunt Bai again and waved them over.

But just as they were about to pass, another guard came over.

"Have you checked carefully?" the guard asked.

The previous guard immediately felt guilty and said, "Checked."

"Marquis Yun is coming to the southwest, keep your tail between your legs, don't make any mistakes."

"I know, let me check again."

"Ah."

The guard just came to give a warning and left after saying that.The guard who accepted the bribe quietly wiped his sweat and gave Feng Zheng a look, telling them to leave quickly.

Without his urging, Feng Zheng drove the camel and hurried out of the pass.

As soon as they opened the door, the door suddenly closed behind them.The merchants who came out at about the same time said that there was an order from above to stay in seclusion for three days, but they didn’t know why.

Liu Yunxiang breathed out. It was probably because Lu Changan discovered that she was missing and guessed that she might be going to West Vietnam, so he ordered people to report the situation quickly, closed the door, and searched closely.

At this moment, they did not dare to delay and headed outside the pass.

After walking for half a day, the city tower of Southwest Pass was hidden in the vast grassland. There was a stone tablet standing here as a boundary. Further west is Xiyue.

There are many earthen bags next to the stele, most of them were traveling merchants. If something happened on the way, their colleagues would kill them here.Some family members will come and take them back to their hometown for burial, while some will stay here forever for various reasons.

There is a tomb bag with a stone on top, and a white character is carved on the stone.

Aunt Bai came to the grave and pulled out the grass on the grave with red eyes.

"My aunt was sorry for you and caused you to lose your life at such a young age. I wanted to take you home, but I guess you might want to stay here and look in the direction of Yu'er, waiting for her to go home one day. Take you with me."

"But I'm afraid she won't come back, and you can't wait. My aunt is going to visit her. When she comes back, she will take you home."

The tomb was originally very large, but due to the wind, it was almost level with the ground.

Liu Yunxiang let out a long sigh and looked towards the endless desert.Crossing this desert, you can reach Xiyue. She hopes that she and Yan Mu can come back safely on this trip.
