The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 43: Parting ways

"Stop! Stop!"

Just as Kang Wan had eliminated the four killers, suddenly a large group of yamen servants, no less than 100 of them, rushed up on the post road behind.Three squads of school lieutenants, Liufang Swordsmen, a group of archers, and a group of heavy armor soldiers rushed forward in an orderly manner.

"Grandma, this battle is to arrest a woman, or to go to war. There is such a big commotion." Guo Nuan opened his mouth wide and stared at the officials behind him dumbfounded.

"Why are you still standing there, get on the carriage!"

Kang Wan had skimmed down from the treetops at some point, and at this moment she was getting into the carriage, and then she yelled at Guo Nuan who was stunned on the spot.

Seeing Kang Wan calling him, Guo Nuan almost subconsciously ran into the carriage.At this moment, they could have escaped. Just now, the two of them experienced an assassination together. In addition, Guo Nuan, a frail scholar, was rescued by Kang Wan. Fortunately, he forgot for a while that Kang Wan was the one who hijacked him, and then forgot just now. It was also said that Kang Wan was the woman who held a knife to her neck, and that Kang Wan's father, An Lushan, and old man Guo were originally deadly enemies in the Anshi Rebellion.

"Drive!" Guo Nuan raised his whip and slammed it fiercely at the buttocks of the horse pulling the cart. Then the old horse neighed in pain, and quickly threw the pursuers away several hundred meters away.

"Don't go to Yongning Village now, take a detour to the left side and go back to the East City Gate." Just as Guo Nuan was desperately driving the carriage, a narrow path appeared on the left side of the dense forest next to the post road ahead, and Kang Wan, who lifted the curtain of the car, signaled to Guo Nuan immediately changed course.

"That yellow mud path is fine for people to walk on. How can a four-wheeled carriage pass?" Guo Nuan couldn't help hesitating as she watched the carriage getting closer and closer to the fork in the road.

"It's not easy, abandon the car!" After that, Kang Wan was like carrying a chick, on the fast-moving carriage, a quick jump brought Guo Nuan to the side of the road.

"That's my horse! Just don't want it?"

Guo Nuan stood by the side of the road and stomped his feet, watching the receding carriage continue to run straight towards the post road. At this moment, he had a heartache on his face. This carriage cost him 170 taels of silver to buy at Chang'an Carriage and Horse Company. In addition, after using it for more than a month, I have some feelings for the old horse, and it is a pity for Guo Nuan to throw it away.

When the carriage traveled to a distance of more than fifty steps, there was a whoosh, and Kang Wan's plum blossom dart was stabbed on the shoulder blade of the right horse's leg. Balanced, then fell headlong to the right, and then there was a tragic cry, the huge inertia deeply fell the horse and the carriage into the deep valley below the right side of the post road, and the carriage dragged a crooked trace on the post road.

It seems that Kang Wan's move was to deliberately confuse the officials who were chasing after him, creating an illusion that the carriage fell off the cliff, delaying time, so that people could take the opportunity to escape.

"Wuwu, my dear old horse brother, you usually work hard, eat the cheapest fodder, and live in a stable with ventilated walls, yet God treats you like this, and you die without even a bone Keep it."

Guo Nuan took a closer look, not only the horse was let go, but also injured by Kang Wan's hidden weapon, and fell into a deep valley.

"It's gone, it's gone, go, or even you will be buried with that horse."

Kang Wan was unmoved, and reacted flatly to Guo Nuan's exaggerated performance. She turned around and took a small path, disappearing into the shrub-grown Yangchang Road.

With a cry of "Oh", Guo Nuan wiped the corners of her eyes that hadn't shed tears, and then quickly followed Kang Wan.

The sky was a little white at the moment, and it was time for the fourth watch. Listening carefully, I could vaguely hear the crowing of roosters in the village on the other side of the mountain.For Guo Nuan, too many things happened that night. He kept running away and was assassinated, so he was extremely exhausted physically and mentally.

"Oh..." Guo Nuan originally followed Kang Wan closely. Because the small road under the shade of the bushes is seldom walked, the roadside is full of small tree branches, and the light is not enough at night, so there are many small stones on the uneven road. , Guo Nuan accidentally sprained his ankle.

It was really a house leak and it rained overnight. Guo Nuan had really bad luck today. When he was about to run for his life, he sprained his ankle.

"Wan'er, I sprained my ankle!" Guo Nuan grinned and squatted on the grassy yellow mud, moaning, her foot seemed to be hurt badly.

Kang Wan, who was walking quickly, heard Guo Nuan's voice behind her, so she stopped immediately and turned back to Guo Nuan.

"Well, it seems that the injury is quite serious." Kang Wan took out the fire pocket in her arms, lit the fire, bent down, and looked at Guo Nuan's red and swollen ankle solemnly.

"You go first, even if I'm caught by the officers and soldiers, it's fine." Guo Nuan beaded sweat dripping from his forehead, and said to Kang Wan in pain at this moment.

Kang Wan pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "No, when you left the city gate, you already revealed your identity to the captain of the city guard. It seems that the captain has become suspicious afterwards, otherwise there would not have been a large number of officials on the post road just now. If you come after us, there is a high probability that they are coming for us."

"Go away, don't talk to me, even if I'm caught, I'll be released after a few days at most." Guo Nuan then pushed Kang Wan violently, telling her to leave quickly.

Guo Nuan knew very well that now he was considered a harborer, and when the officials arrived, they would definitely arrest him and put him in jail.

According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, assisting the imperial court to escape a repeat offender, and is the remnant of a rebel leader, and assassinated an assassin who had assassinated a third-rank official of the imperial court, is counted as a crime of harboring. .

Guo Nuan understood that Kang Wan was An Lushan's daughter and helped her escape from the captors. Even if his father, Guo Ziyi, was a local official, he couldn't keep Guo Nuan. His son broke the law, not only will he not be rescued, but he is also very likely to kill his relatives righteously.

Guo Nuan smiled helplessly. She didn't expect her innocent self to be implicated. At first, she was coerced to help Kang Wan escape from being hunted down. Later, she unknowingly helped Kang Wan. This kind of relationship is really strange, saying that she is not an accomplice. It's hard to argue with the officials.

"Let's go." Guo Nuan gritted his teeth and quickly repeated.

The face was separated by the veil, leaving only a pair of wonderful eyes, at this moment, they looked at each other lightly with Guo Nuan: "Are you sure?"

Guo Nuan was half lying on the side of the grassy road at the moment, reflecting the light of the fire, he stared blankly at Kang Wan, smiled, and then a fresh and indifferent aura flashed:

"Before you leave, can you let me see your real face?"

Kang Wanmei narrowed her eyes slightly, she didn't expect Guo Nuan to make such a request, she was stunned for a while, she hesitated for a moment in silence, finally nodded slightly, raised her hand and gently lifted off the veil slowly.

"Heh, it's almost as imagined, with a little red lips on the pink face, lightly sweeping eyebrows and eyes full of spring, she is so beautiful, what a beautiful woman..."

Before Guo Nuan could finish speaking, the back of the head and neck was lightly knocked out with a palm, her head tilted, and she fell unconscious in Kang Wan's arms. . .
