The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 160 Ran Hai Goes Out of Beijing
It was said that when Ran Hai ordered some things to be packed in a hurry and was about to leave in a carriage, he seemed to think of something suddenly, and called the housekeeper, whispered something in the butler's ear, the butler nodded and left after listening.

Only then did Ran Hai leave the Prime Minister's Mansion with his burden, and walked towards the city gate.

The people Du Wangshan arranged to monitor outside the Prime Minister's Mansion have also reported to Du Wangshan that Ran Hai left the Prime Minister's Mansion by car and headed towards the city gate.

Hearing the words, Du Wangshan immediately led people to the city gate, ready to block Ran Hai's way. Du Wangshan led people to gallop all the way, and he rushed to the city gate in less than a quarter of an hour. At this time, the carriage of the prime minister's mansion had arrived at the city gate and was about to pass city ​​gate.

Du Wangshan saw from a distance that the person was still tens of meters away, so he quickly shouted at the carriage and entourage here: "Master Ran, please stay."

The people on the carriage seemed not to have heard them, and continued to drive forward slowly. However, the guards at the city gate heard Du Wangshan's call and hurried forward to stop the carriage. At that time, I suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes coming from behind.

Turning around and looking, it turned out that Master Du was calling him, so he got out of the car quickly. At this time, Du Wangshan had come to the coachman and asked the driver, "Master Ran, why don't you come out to see me? I have something to talk to Master Ran about." Discuss."

The coachman bowed and replied: "Returning to Mr. Du, my lord is not in the carriage. The younger one has been suffering from diarrhea because of eating bad food in the morning. My master is eager to go on the road. He has already set off on the road before the villain. I just ordered Xiao’s body to recover, and then set off for the southern border to join the master.”

Hearing what the coachman said, Du Wangshan was stunned for a moment, and then said with anger in his eyes: "Already left? But I heard that Mr. Ran just left the Prime Minister's Mansion not long ago. Do you know what crime should be committed by deceiving the imperial court officer? "

After hearing this, the coachman knelt down and said in fear, "I would like to report to Mr. Du, what the villain said is true, and I dare not lie to my lord. I think someone watched me drive out of the house and thought my master was also in the car. That's why I mistakenly think that the master has just left the mansion. In fact, my master has already left a few hours ago. The younger one is a slave. Even if I borrow some courage from me, I will not dare to deceive Mr. Du. .”

Seeing the earnestness of the groom, Du Wangshan felt suspicious in his heart, and said to himself, "Could it be that Ran Hai is really not in the car?"

Although he thought so in his heart, he still had some doubts in his heart, so he waved his horsewhip and said to the coachman, "Open the curtain and let me see."

The coachman quickly stood up and said, "I obey." After that, he hurriedly walked to the curtain of the carriage, raised his hand to push aside the curtain, and said respectfully to Du Wangshan, "Please take a look, sir."

Did Du Wangshan get off at this time? He walked slowly to the carriage and took a look inside. It was really empty, and there was no one there. Du Wangshan touched his chin with a puzzled expression. It was a bushy beard, and as soon as he lifted his legs, he got into the carriage and touched left and right on the wall of the carriage, as if looking for any organs. After confirming that everyone was safe, Du Wangshan finally frowned and waved to the coachman, indicating that he could leave.

Seeing that Du Wangshan was finally willing to let him go, the coachman hurriedly thanked Du Wangshan, and drove away in the carriage.Only Du Wangshan was left with a dignified face, standing where he was, thinking about it.

Du Wangshan believes that his people will not be mistaken, Ran Hai must have used other tricks to escape, but Du Wangshan can't figure out what trick the other party used?He could only call seven or eight people from the two teams of entourages around him, and said to them: "Follow that carriage to see if he will meet up with anyone on the way? If you see Ran Hai, tell me that the officer is looking for He has something to discuss and wants him to return to the capital as soon as possible."

"Yes!" After receiving the order, several people immediately got on their horses and galloped in the direction of the carriage Juechen, preparing to follow behind the carriage and monitor.

Du Wangshan looked at the figures of several people going away, still a little unwilling to think hard in his heart for a while, but after he still couldn't find a way, he hung his head, got on the horseback, and walked towards his mansion.While walking, he was still thinking about how to try to get Ran Hai back.

But at this time, Ran Hai actually dressed himself as a farmer after careful makeup. He just stepped out of the North City Gate. The direction of the carriage departure was the South City Gate. The South City Gate is the closest city gate to Southern Xinjiang. , the north gate is just the opposite, but the north gate is the closest to Ran Hai's prime minister's mansion.

Ran Hai disguised himself as a farmer and chose to walk out of the city. For safety reasons, he chose the opposite direction to the south gate. On the one hand, going to the south border is the fastest way to go out from the north gate. Ran Hai is eager to go to the south border , will undoubtedly choose to leave the city from the south gate, this is Du Wangshan's idea, and at the same time Ran Hai expected that Du Wangshan would think so, so he ordered the coachman to drive the carriage to the south gate, while he actually set off to the north gate.

Second, the North Gate is the closest to the Prime Minister's Mansion. If the carriage is stopped by Du Wangshan at the South Gate and he finds that he is not in the carriage, in order to prevent Du Wangshan from thinking of his plan and block the gates, Ran Hai will dress up as a farmer and walk Going out of the city is naturally slower than a horse-drawn carriage. If you choose a city gate that is farther away from you, the gate may be closed before you reach the gate, and the north gate is the farthest from the south gate. But it is the closest to the prime minister's mansion, so choosing the north gate to leave the city can shorten the time for oneself to surrender, and can also lengthen the time required for Du Wangshan to execute if he chooses to close the city gate.

Although Du Wangshan did not order the city to be closed in the end, Ran Hai still didn't feel that he was unnecessary. Ran Hai always liked to predict the unknown possibility in order to reduce the occurrence of accidents.

After the carriage left the south gate, it didn't stop, it didn't turn, and it didn't touch anyone.Just heading south all the way, running non-stop at a moderate speed.

This is also Ran Hai's order. Before leaving, Ran Hai said to the coachman: "After you leave the city gate, set off for the southern border non-stop, and we will meet in the southern border."

The coachman asked in bewilderment, "Don't you need to stop and wait for the prime minister?"

Ran Hai shook his head and said, "Don't wait for me. I'll start from the north gate, bypass the Anqing River, and go to the southern Xinjiang from Guangling Road. You and I have different paths. What you have to do is to help me divert Du Wangshan's attention. You After leaving the city, Du Wangshan will definitely send people to follow, if I join you, I will be stopped by them."

After hearing this, the coachman nodded and said, "Your subordinate understands that the prime minister traveled almost half of the way from Guangling Road to southern Xinjiang by himself. During the period, the mountains are high and the roads are far away. Your Excellency may go on the road alone. I'm afraid there may be something wrong."

Ran Hai smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, I have already arranged people to set off from the north gate on a fast horse the next day to meet me, and they will keep me safe on the road."

After listening to Ran Hai's words, the coachman nodded and said: "The prime minister is thoughtful and the arrangements are perfect, so the villain is relieved, and the villain will drive away to the south gate."

Ran Hai nodded and said: "You go, besides my whereabouts, you can tell some truths appropriately, the truth and falsehood are the most difficult for people to figure out, I will make Du Wangshan confused? .”

"Yes, this subordinate understands." After the coachman finished speaking, he jumped into the carriage and drove towards the south gate.

At this time, Ran Hai has already left the north gate, leaving marks along the way so that those who catch up later can find him.

At this time, Du Wangshan had already returned to the mansion. He thought a lot along the way, and he seemed to have gradually figured out some things. He finally understood that this coachman was a trick put out by Ran Hai to confuse his own eyes. As for the real Ran Hai who is here now. where?Needless to say, I have already taken the opportunity to go out through the other city gates. Although I have thought of this, Du Wangshan still has no idea which city gate Ran Hai will choose. Send a group of people to chase, not to mention, even if you really send people to chase, with Ran Hai's cunning, I believe he is already ready to get away.

Since it was useless to chase, he had to send people to strengthen the defense, so Du Wangshan immediately ordered to send another 500 people to the southern border to meet Ye Junyan.On the other hand, I asked Leng Lengfeng to send a few men to Wuye Valley to inform Zuo Haobai of the news, so that Zuo Haobai could join Gu Xinning and act accordingly.

Early the next morning, a horse team of 40 to [-] people came out from the north gate. No one knew what they were doing, where they came from, and what they were going to do. They only knew that these people galloped as soon as they walked out of the city gate. All the way non-stop, do not know where to go.

After receiving the news from Du Wangshan, it was finally confirmed that Ran Hai left from the north gate. While cursing the 'old fox' in his heart, he thought about whether to send someone to chase him, and finally thought that it was too late to send someone to chase him, so he asked Wang Shan had no choice but to completely give up the plan of chasing Ran Hai.

Then after half a day yesterday and half a day today, I have already bypassed the Anqing River and walked on Guangling Road, when I suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes behind me, Ran Hai hurriedly hid aside, took a closer look, and was sure it was arranged by himself The people in the group did not wave to the cavalry after chasing the soldiers. After all, I had put on make-up, so I prevented them from not being able to recognize me for a while. Ran Hai thought it would be better to take the initiative to say hello.

When the horse team was approaching Ran Hai, they stopped when they saw Ran Hai waving to him, and the leader drove the horses closer to Ran Hai and asked, "But Lord Prime Minister?"

Ran Hai smiled and nodded, took out a piece of jade pendant from his bosom, waved it in front of the man and then took it back into his bosom, although it was just a wave, but the man had already seen clearly that it was Ran Hai's belongings, so he slapped the jade pendant on the side and back One of the younger brothers changed into leading an unoccupied horse, brought it to Ran Hai, knelt down and said to Ran Hai: "Please get on the horse, sir." While speaking, he bowed and knelt down on the horse On one side, use yourself as a horse stirrup for Ran Hai to step on.

Then he smiled and nodded, kicked the man's back and got on the horse. After that, the horse team started the journey again and ran all the way to the south of Xinjiang.
