Taohuaxi

Chapter 106 The situation has changed
That night in early August, he was chased by the Tatars. He panicked and hid in the Qin Mansion.She once pulled up the quilt and covered him on the bed.She told him that Renjie was informal and asked him not to take it to heart.

In Wuling Pavilion, he had a premonition of the turmoil after the recruitment and asked her to adopt Yingtao.She smiled and said to him, Master, I promise you.She did take good care of Cherry.When he was fighting in Yunnan, he received three letters home from Cherry.The Yu Niang in Tao Tao's mouth healed Tao Tao's wounds of losing her parents and mother, and gave Tao Tao tender and firm maternal love.

He appreciates her.

Appreciate her again.

Master, I want to ask you to steal my bride.Who to rob?Grab me——

He had admired her ever since she took the little girl to Shenju Mountain in the middle of the night to ask him to marry her.Her fierceness, courage and strategy are beyond ordinary women.

Now that she was in trouble, he should do something.

For her, for the cherry, for the word "righteousness".

"See you in three days."

After the one-eyed dragon said these words to Feng Gao, he quickly walked out from the side of the Buddha, blended in with the bustling pilgrims, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After Feng Gao left the temple, he quietly went to Qingyue Pavilion.

Feng Gao had been deliberately hiding the news about Gongjiu's accident from Cai Qingyao.He told his mother not to go out during these cold weather days.Fortunately, Cai Qingyao has always lived in seclusion and is unaware of the movements and gossip on the street.

She just kept wondering why Sang Yu didn't come.I used to come here at least every three days.Feng Gao said that his sister was a month old and had difficulty moving around.She believed it.

Winter night, groggy.

Cai Qingyao was sewing a little sock under the lamp.

Seeing Feng Gao come in, she stood up and said, "Son, are you hungry? I left some chicken soup for you. I'll bring it to you now."

Feng Gao helped her sit down and said, "I'm not hungry, mother, I have something to discuss with you."

Cai Qingyao said: "It's no matter whether we discuss or not, just do everything according to your idea."

Feng Gao lowered his head and said, "I want to take you to another place to live."

He has actually been thinking about this issue for a long time.He knew that his mother was reluctant to leave Qingyue Pavilion. It was like a time box, locking up the old dreams of her and Zhang Taiyue when they were young.Every object and furnishing is related to Zhang Taiyue.However, after Sang Yu was released from prison, everyone ran away together, and he had to take his mother with him.

For one thing, he was afraid of revenge from the Zheng family.Although his relationship with Cai Qingyao is unknown to others, in the eyes of outsiders, Cai Qingyao is Qin Mingxu's mother. If everyone disappears, the Zheng family will definitely be angry with her;
Secondly, after leaving Yangzhou this time, he may never come back. He finally escaped from the court, so he should serve his mother every day.

Cai Qingyao was a little panicked and asked, "Why do you want to change places? Did something happen?"

Feng Gao shook his head hurriedly, put his arms around his mother's shoulders, and said, "Nothing, nothing. I resigned from office, bought a house elsewhere, and purchased several acres of land. I just want to take my mother with me."

"Ah, you resigned."

Cai Qingyao became happy: "How good, how good. I'm always worried that if you can't resign from your official position, you can stop doing it so soon."

Just for a moment, she shed tears again: "If Taiyue had listened to me and put down the trouble, why would he have reached such a state? What kind of country, king, and court, how can his own life be so important..."

Feng Gao wiped her tears and said, "Mom, don't cry. We will be in good hands in the future."

"Where are Sang Yu and Xu'er?"

"Come with us."

"Isn't business done?"

"Well, I won't do it. The imperial court's taxes are getting heavier day by day. They are spending extravagantly and plundering the people. For fear of triggering a civil uprising, they will also plunder the merchants. Most of my sister's money has gone into the national treasury. Simply, Put your hands down."

"Okay, okay, it's better not to do it." Cai Qingyao nodded.

"When are we leaving?"

"Three days later."

Cai Qingyao insisted on going to the kitchen to bring chicken soup, staring at Feng Gao and watching him drink it.The mother and son talked under the lamp for a long time before resting.

The night wind blew through the Qingyue Pavilion, the bamboo forest, and the eaves.

The fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The last full moon night of the year.

The full moon in winter is especially big.Yangzhou City, under the moonlight, is full of affection.

From the moment of Haizheng, the one-eyed dragon deliberately showed his face in front of the pursuing soldiers of the Ministry of War to attract them to pursue him.He led his pursuers in a large circle from southeast to northwest, around to Zichu, and around to the prison door.

At this time, Qin Mingxu had just come out of prison with his wife and Cherry.The city's waterwheel also happened to be passing by.

water wheel.The Zheng family's carriage.The pursuers of the military department and the one-eyed dragon.

The prison door suddenly became very chaotic.

The waterwheel and the Zheng family's carriage met for a moment.

Feng Gao, who was hiding in the dark, winked at Qin Mingxu, and Qin Mingxu pulled Sang Yu and Yingtao into the waterwheel in a hurry.

On the horse in front of the Zheng family's carriage, a man who looked exactly like Feng Gao, wearing a black robe and a black hat, fell down.The man rode towards Guanyin Mountain.

The one-eyed dragon got into the Zheng family's carriage, shot a dart at the horse, and the horse began to run wildly.The pursuers hurriedly chased the carriage.

Feng Gao took Cai Qingyao, Zhu Xifeng, and Hua Lian to another narrow alley.

According to the plan, Feng Gao and his party will meet Qin Mingxu and Sang Yu in the waterwheel in the woods five miles outside the south city gate in half an hour.

By this time, Cai Qingyao had already guessed that something big had happened.She held Feng Gao's hand.Mother and son move forward together.Zhu Xifeng and Hua Lianzha were released from prison. Although they didn't know the details, they knew Feng Gao's feelings for Sang Yu and Feng Gao's wisdom, and followed Feng Gao closely.

The Zheng family's carriage drove forward for about a quarter of an hour and reached a small river.

The one-eyed dragon removed the bottom of the carriage, got out from underneath, and landed in the river.The carriage continued to move, and the pursuers continued to pursue.

Arrive at Guanyin Mountain.

The trap is getting closer every step of the way.

The man riding on the horse heard three eagle calls, and he jumped from the horse to a nearby tree.

The carriage stopped.

The pursuers fell into the trap unexpectedly.

Those people who were ambushed by the Zheng family rushed out.They had no idea that the people in the trap were people from the Ministry of War and the imperial court, and they were just trying to kill each other.They remember Zheng Tai's order well: kill the people in the trap and kill Feng Gao.

Some of the pursuers who did not fall into the trap were busy rescuing their companions in the trap; some were busy looking for the Cyclops in the carriage. The carriage was already empty, and they were chasing the man in black on horseback.

The man in black is actually a one-eyed dragon. Because his body shape is most similar to Feng Gao, he takes on this important task tonight.He grew up in the mountains and forests and was nicknamed "Mountain Tiger".He could move through the dense forest as freely as on the plains, and those people couldn't do anything to him.

There was chaos on Guanyin Mountain.

The soldiers fought against each other, resulting in countless casualties.

Zheng Tai, who was impatient and waiting to close the net, sent someone to visit Guanyin Mountain and realized that he had been tricked by Qin Mingxu and Feng Gao...

Fortunately, under the instruction of Concubine Zheng, he had a backup plan.

It has to be said that Concubine Zheng, who has been immersed in the palace for many years, is superior in skills.

Zheng Tai broke several tea cups in the house and smiled coldly.Tonight, there are eye spies at the four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Yangzhou.After a while, a report came from the south gate.

Zheng Tai sternly ordered his men: "Take Ning Yue and let's go!"

"Yes!"

Ningyue was tied up all over and her mouth was sealed with a piece of cloth. She was in a hurry and couldn't say a word.

Her belly was stuffed with cotton wool and was bulging, looking more like Sang Yu.

Zheng Tai grabbed Ning Yue's chin with his hand and flicked it: "Today, you accompany me and sing with that eunuch!"

The south city gate is closed.

Feng Gao and others were thinking about how to get out of the city.

The sound of horse hooves and footsteps approached from all directions.

A dragnet was cast.

Feng Gao's palms were sweating.He realized something had changed.

The Cyclops, who had escaped with difficulty, did not wait for Feng Gao in the woods.

The one-eyed dragon's eyes were dark, and he rushed towards the south gate with the few living and dead brothers who had escaped from the capital with him...

Tonight, there is destined to be a bloody battle!
