Chapter 155: Escape successfully
The Secretary of the State of the Northern Tang Dynasty, Chen Kun, who came to the Northern Tang Dynasty for several days, lived in a tightly defended residence. The guards on the surface were to protect their own safety, but in fact they were to prevent him from leaving or doing other actions.
"Sir, why haven't Bei Tang agreed to the marriage for so long? Did they regret it?" The subordinates who followed him asked in confusion.
Chen Kun looked at him silently and said, "Have you heard of Gong Qi's assassination while hunting in the suburbs?"
"I heard that, but what does this have to do with us?"
"Of course it's related. If you don't understand, just forget it. In short, I tell you that marriage is impossible." Chen Kun said the facts without hesitation, "Not to mention marriage, it's unknown whether we can go back safely."
After hearing this, the subordinate was very worried that something important about his life and death was threatened by Gong Qi's assassination. He asked in panic: "Sir, what should I do? I.........."
Needless to say, Chen Kun knew that he was a greedy guy who was afraid of death, but this kind of person didn't hate him, at least he didn't have much thought, so he comforted him: "Don't worry first, I'm just talking, maybe there might be other turning points?"
It was very appropriate to describe the subordinate with a nervous heart. Chen Kun did not give him any better comfort. Even if he was as calm as he was, he still didn't know what would happen in the future. The assassination of Gong Qi was not a trivial matter, and the impact it brought was definitely not as simple as war.
"Don't scare this kid, aren't you afraid?" The third party's voice suddenly sounded, and another person who looked like a guard came out of it. At first glance, he was a martial artist and his martial arts were unknown.
This guard is definitely not simple to say to Chen Kun, the Secretary of the Republic. And Chen Kun didn't care at all, but instead chuckled: "Of course I'm afraid, who is not afraid of death? Are you not afraid?"
"I'm not afraid." The guard quickly gave the answer.
"Ye Lang, are you deliberately trying to add injustice today?" Chen Kun asked with a smile.
The person who looked like a guard was named Ye Lang, and he was also Chen Kun's personal guard along the way. His voice was a little relaxed, but it was full of solemnity, and he said, "How dare you? I just want to remind you that you should leave when it's time to leave."
Chen Kun had to figure out what he meant: "What does it mean to leave?"
"That is to say, you can escape now." Ye Lang said bluntly and demanded that he immediately start to escape from Tang State. His words made the subordinate even more frightened.
Escape? How to escape? This is the capital of Northern Tang. Not to mention how many defenders there are, there are more than a thousand guards outside their residence, and there are only three of them. Even if Ye Lang's martial arts are good, even Lu Ping, the world's number one, cannot say that he can escape.
This is not only denied by subordinates, but Chen Kun also had suspicion, but he was not as worried as he showed. He asked: "It's easy to say, you can't escape by yourself, and where can we two burdens run?"
After hearing this, Ye Lang smiled, and did not rush to explain, and asked, "Don't you ask me what I think? Maybe my plan is good?"
The little girl kept her back, but she gave both of them hope. He heard that he had a way to escape.
Looking at Chen Kun's gaze, Ye Lang smiled evilly, took out a letter from his arms, and said, "The imperial court has sent a secret decree, which was given to you by His Majesty himself."
"Are the superiors calling me back?"
"That's right." Ye Lang said: "Your Majesty has also formulated a good strategy. This war is inevitable. We must get us back, otherwise it will be difficult to have hostages."
The secret order is of course a secret order. As for how Ye Lang got this secret order, Chen Kun was not interested. He just wanted to know what idea the other party had to get them out of Northern Tang and return to Luoyang safely.
The fearful subordinate was slowly calming down. His Majesty still remembered their existence and cared about them. He felt a lot more uncomfortable after all. For the sake of his own safety, he asked more: "Brother Ye Lang, don't keep it a secret, just say it."
Originally, Ye Lang wanted to tease Chen Kun, but he didn't expect Chen Kun was not anxious. Another person was anxious first. There was no way, and it was not a solution to always drag it. So he said, "You should still remember that I have a son."
"Do you have a son?" Chen Kun joked deliberately.
Ye Lang glared at him and said, "You don't have a son. I have a son. Do you think everyone is as old as you, and you have no children."
"Okay, okay, don't make trouble with you, just tell me."
"Yes, yes, brother Ye, just say it."
Ye Lang couldn't help but ask them one after another, and he lost interest in continuing to play the puzzle, saying, "My son's name is Ye Qing. He has been staying in the Northern Tang Dynasty for many years. He has been doing well and has some power."
"So what?" Chen Kun asked: "There are more powerful people in Northern Tang. How much is the power? Is it enough to protect us from returning? Or is it in this place where the defense is tight."
"Can't you listen to me finish my words?" Ye Lang looked unhappy, "Qing'er has recently gained the trust of Emperor Tang. This kid is probably going to join forces with Emperor Tang to conspire with him, but he has nothing to do with us."
Finally, the key point was that Ye Lang's son Ye Qing had weight in front of Emperor Tang. Chen Kun could roughly guess it, but asked curiously: "Are you sure he will help us?"
"Does he dare not help him?!" Ye Lang said naturally, "Even if he and I are not in the same camp, it's not impossible to help with this little favor."
"Have you ever thought that once Emperor Tang learned about his help us, your son's situation would be very dangerous. Don't say that you haven't considered it." Chen Kun reminded seriously.
A rashly assisting the ministers of foreign countries to escape was a major period when they had just gained trust from Emperor Tang and were preparing to make contributions and show their loyalty. This was a big deal. Although they were not very important, they at least provoked Emperor Tang's majesty. If they went to great lengths, they would be a death sentence and even the gods could not save them.
Of course Ye Lang thought about it, put away his usual smile and said solemnly: "I know, I know very well. But if this kid doesn't even have the strength to hide the truth, then he is not qualified to perform on the stage of the world."
"What a strict father." Chen Kun couldn't help but sigh. Which father would not worry about his son's safety, and which father would be so strict? Ye Lang and Ye Qing are really a strange combination.
The subordinates were confused by the words of the two of them and didn't understand anything. They knew that one of Brother Ye's sons was powerful here and had a good relationship with Emperor Tang, but based on this alone, he was still uneasy.
Ye Lang continued: "The topic is too far-reaching, so let's go back to the main topic. If we want to escape from here, we have to rely on the power of the outside world. Everyone knows that there are only three people in our group, which can just paralyze the sight of the Northern Tang Dynasty and allow my son to have enough strength to save us."
"It's very good, so what about the plan?"
"The plan is, now!" Ye Lang clapped his hands, and a young figure walked out, that was Ye Qing.
The subordinate widened his eyes and couldn't believe it. He didn't know when he came. Is this guy even so good at his son's kung fu?
"Is this your son Ye Qing?" Chen Kun asked with a smile.
"Boy is exactly." Ye Qing greeted him shyly and said, "This time, I will help everyone escape."
Chen Kun looked at the boy for a while and said, "I asked your father just now. Now I'll ask you solemnly once in person, have you thought about it?"
"I know you are worried about me, but this matter is not as serious as you think. Even if I am a kid, I will show filial piety." Ye Qing showed more relaxed than his father Ye Lang. "Besides, Emperor Tang is now focusing his energy on Gong Qi, who is not pleasing to him and holding military power, so he is not in the mood to pursue you."
Ye Lang patted his son's head proudly and smiled, "You little brat, you are quite conscious. You know you want to respect me."
"Dad, you're enough. To be honest, I helped you because of my grandfather's face. After all, my current forces are supported by his prestige."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Lang's fist hit Ye Qing's head heavily, making the latter hug his head and wail. The two outside looked a little funny.
"You shameless brat! Without me, how could you come from!"
Seeing Ye Lang furiously trying to establish his father's prestige, Chen Kun was not embarrassed to stop him, but after a while, he had to step forward and interrupt, "You are almost the same. Depending on what you mean, are you going to leave now?"
"Of course, Qing'er is ready." Ye Lang finally stopped his fist that taught his son a lesson, slowly lowered his fist, and replied panting.
Ye Qing also let go of his hand holding his head, and said helplessly: "Yes, everyone is ready, just wait for you to prepare."
"So that's it. You Ye Lang, you can take action first and then report without discussing it." Chen Kun smiled suddenly and said, "Well, you know me too much, so I guess I will agree, right?"
"Of course." Ye Lang laughed proudly.
The subordinates realized, what? They were about to set off now? He was not prepared for anything, not even mentally! He asked immediately: "No, no, sir, shouldn't you think about it first?"
"Think about it? What to consider?" Chen Kun naturally took his own self-defense dagger and prepared to set off like this.
In the shocked eyes of his subordinates, Ye Lang patted his shoulder generously and said, "It's okay, I can't die. At worst, I'll be caught and put under house arrest. Even if you don't run away, you still can't go back. Why not give it a try."
"But........."
"It's nothing. Take all the important things and leave in a while." Ye Lang didn't care about the thoughts of his subordinates at all, and had decided everything.
After a while, the guards outside the residence were still defending tightly, and the three people inside were still guarding, and they were constantly dispatching personnel to patrol everywhere, and they would not let go of a little corner.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside, as if a group of people were making noise outside, which made the guards inside have to go out to check it out. Although most of the guards were left inside, their attention was attracted by the noise outside, and they relaxed a lot of attention in the residence.
At this moment, there was a sound of fighting outside. It was probably the guards who went out to check and fought with the people outside. The people inside were suddenly at a loss. On the one hand, they wanted to go out to help, but on the other hand, they remembered their responsibilities. They were hesitant at the moment, not knowing whether to go out or stay.
The fighting outside always made them feel at ease. I didn't know where they shouted: "Go! Go out and take a look!" All the guards encouraged them to slowly move their bodies towards the door. No one saw that, the person who made the sound silently crawled away from the base of the wall.
One of them was the first to poke his head out and saw chaos outside. Two waves of people were already in chaos and fighting each other. The other party seemed to have seen the guards in the mansion who were rushing over, and they began to retreat without looking back.
In the eyes of the guards, the phenomenon of retreat was like a feeling that they were still in an advantageous position in their own victory. They all began to have the intention of chasing. In fact, if it were someone else, they would inevitably have such impulsive intentions. So, together with the people in the mansion, they chased after them desperately, leaving only a small number of people who were left behind in the mansion to watch over the three people in the mansion.
But those people did not leave completely. Long before the conflict broke out, they left some people hiding in every corner outside the mansion, waiting for the guards to chase them out, and they all appeared one after another and rushed in from the mansion gate openly.
After the guards who thought they were fine, they found that a group of unknown origins appeared in the mansion gate, each of them was not mentally prepared and hurriedly picked up their weapons and went forward to fight. The two remaining groups of people started a fight in their residence.
After seeing the right time, Chen Kun and his group of three and Ye Qing quietly took advantage of the gap when the guards had no time to fight with each other and slipped out. The follower Ye Qing had already formulated a route and came to the corner of the wall. Waiting for the ropes early in the morning became their tool for climbing over the wall.
The four of them quickly climbed over the wall, came out of the originally heavily guarded residence, and came outside the residence.
"What's next? What are you going to do?" Chen Kun asked.
Ye Qing naturally made arrangements and replied: "We have reached the first step, and the simplest step. The second step is to take out the Tang Capital City. As long as we leave the Tang Capital City, the rest will be very simple. We will need to disguise ourselves as businessmen later and dare to leave the city before they find out that we are not reported to the whole city."
"That's just that I'm very busy. Why don't you give us the clothes quickly?" Chen Kun's mind was clear. He knew that time was very fast, so he didn't want to waste time. He immediately asked for clothes to disguise.
Ye Qing looked at him and a bunch of clothes came to him. The four of them quickly changed into the businessman's clothes. The fake caravan team arranged by Ye Qing also appeared in front of them.
With a carriage, they can also rush to the city gate as soon as possible. Fortunately, the residence is not too far away, so they all have to thank the people who built the residence here back then, but they didn't have time to think about it. The group immediately got on the carriage. The groom skillfully waved his whip and rushed towards the city gate.
The people who attacked the residence here knew that it would not last long. The chasing guards would come back soon and they had to retreat. So under the dense whistle, all the living people quickly withdrew from the residence and fled, and immediately disappeared from everyone's sight.
The guards could not pursue and did not want to pursue them. They sorted out the end of the house in fear. At the same time, the guards who failed to pursue also rushed back and found that they were in a mess in the residence. Then they all thought of a question at the same time - what about the three people living inside?!
They couldn't push the door open, because it was locked inside. They asked for a long time without replying. A bad premonition enveloped everyone's hearts. They forced the door open and flipped around, without a single figure.
People are gone?!Running?!
At this time, they realized that today's strange attack would be the plan of the golden cicada to escape. If these people were let go, they would be punished. They panic and immediately reported it, leaving behind the punishments that the guards in the mansion were still afraid of the punishments that were brought down after they ran away.
The first time they reported to the government office, the senior officials were shocked. As important personnel, the messenger of Shangguo actually ran away under their noses. They immediately summoned the troops, and on the other hand, they quickly sent people to take the official seal to instruct the city gate to close the martial law.
Teams of people were sent out, and immediately formed a siege in the whole city. The teams who rushed to the city gate arrived after a while, because the government office was very far away from the city gate, and it took a lot of time to report when the guards went to report, which delayed for a long time before they arrived.
All of this seems to be planned, which disrupted their pace. After calculating all their itineraries, I guess even the route and regulations are well-known.
After the people who rushed to the city gate arrived and ordered martial law, they began to close the city gate and strictly investigate all teams about to leave the city.
A series of changes happened in the city in an instant, causing chaos inside, but a team disguised as a caravan outside the city had successfully arrived outside the city. They abandoned the conspicuous carriage and replaced the original clothes, and successfully met with a team outside the city.
