Chapter 403 Running back home at night Ji Song left the Tai Chi Palace and took Daniu without even returning to Chang'an's mansion. He just called someone to notify him and left the city through the Xuanwu Gate in the north.
According to the regulations, the city gate cannot be opened after sunset, but the regulations are that the dead are alive.
No, Ji Song was hung up on the city wall with spider plants by the gatekeepers and the Red Tears, and then he was hung down again.
From the beginning to the end, neither of them said anything about opening the city gate. The fact is that the city gate was not opened.
As for how Ji Song left the city?This has nothing to do with us. I heard that the dogs of Hao Jiehou’s family can dig holes. They should get out through the dog holes, right? After what happened tonight, Chang'an City couldn't stay any longer. When the news spread, there would be another turmoil, so it was better not to get involved.
Since Li Shimin chose this time, there must be a reason to tell Li Yuan the news.
Maybe there is still some way to seek power, how dare you try to get higher?
Besides, my wife is still pregnant. Wouldn't it be nice to stay at home with her and wait for the baby to be born? Thinking of this, he felt very hot in his heart. He had a child for the first time in his previous life, and he had both expectations for the future and fear in his heart!
If he had been calm and happy-go-lucky before, from now on, he would create a good environment for the child who was about to be born.
The horse speeds up, and Honglei's speed increases again, as if he also knows the master's eagerness!
What surprised Ji Song was that he was stopped as soon as he got halfway.
"rhubarb?"
Why did this broken dog escape?Looking at the aggrieved Dahuang, Ji Song smiled awkwardly.
He did forget about Rhubarb, but since it’s out, let’s go together! So, in the extreme darkness of the cold winter, the two of them, two horses and one dog, moved forward at high speed under the dim light of the white snow! Since the old lady and the young lady returned home, the guards of the Hou Mansion on Zhuangzi also made some adjustments.
Daniu followed Lord Hou, while Liu Laoer returned to Zhuangzi.
After just checking the security of the Hou Mansion, I came to the concierge, ready to drink some wine to go away the cold.
There are a few soldiers in the gatehouse, and they happen to be on duty tonight.
After a few glasses of wine, a wave of heat immediately rises!
"Ugh!"
Liu Laoer sighed and drank another glass of wine, and said: "You said that the Marquis is also the same. During the Chinese New Year, the old lady and the young lady were at home, but he ran to the palace."
"It makes everyone feel listless and without any energy. Let me tell you, this family wouldn't be able to survive without the Marquis!"
Others also echoed: "The second brother is right. Without the Marquis, it's like he has no backbone, and he has no strength to do anything."
"Yes, there is also rhubarb. Although it often makes the young lady angry, without it, the house seems a lot more deserted."
The few people talked again, and Liu Laoer was ready to patrol again. The Marquis was not here, so he didn't dare to be careless!
"Don't drink, either. If I find anyone drunk, just wait for the family to deal with it!" I warned him before leaving.
"Okay, go quickly, it's damn hot inside, let's all go out and stand, otherwise we'll have to fall asleep in a while!"
Several people heard the same thing, don't get drunk all of a sudden.
Come on, the concierge, don’t stay here, go out and wake up at the bar!
"No, everyone be quiet!"
As soon as they went out, they saw something was wrong with Liu Laoer. After telling everyone, they put their ears to the ground and listened! Several people looked at each other and lay on the ground listening carefully.
"Cavalry, two of them!" Several people said almost at the same time. They all followed Ji Song on the battlefield. These are just basic operations!
"Take all your things and follow me!"
Return to the concierge, lift up the bed board on the bed, and lift out a box from underneath.
"Bring your weapons!"
After saying that, he took a horizontal knife, and the others did the same! They hid in the place they must pass when they came to the gate of the Hou Mansion!
Soon, the sound of horse hooves gradually became clearer. They looked at each other and understood what the other meant! Ji Song came on horseback, and just when he was about to stop, suddenly, the sound of a weapon piercing the air was heard! He didn't have time to see clearly, he saw a dark shadow coming over, and without thinking, he kicked it in the air! "Ouch!"
The person came back at a faster speed, but why did this voice sound like that idiot Liu Laoer's voice?
"Master Hou? Why is it you!"
The others were a little slow to react. When Liu Laoer was kicked back and Ji Song arrived, they could clearly see the face of the person coming! Ji Song's face was full of black lines, and he said angrily: "What's wrong with you, ambushing me at the gate? God will pay you back!"
"No, Lord Marquis, please listen to my explanation..."
After several people's explanations, Ji Song realized that he had regarded them as thieves!
But at this time, someone came to Jijiazhuangzi, and they were indeed acting suspiciously. No wonder they were like this! Looking at Liu Laoer who was still gasping in pain on the ground, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Ji Song's face, but it quickly disappeared!
"It is unwise to take action without knowing the enemy's situation, that is, me. If others have been killed long ago, I will have a better memory this time and get a ten-gun reward later."
"promise!"
Others did not dare to speak, but they were indeed a little reckless. If the Marquis was not proficient in martial arts, tonight would be...
They really couldn't think any more and turned back to look at Liu Laoer lying on the ground, their eyes full of resentment...
"My mother and the others don't know yet that I'm back. It's too late now, so don't disturb them."
"I'll go to the study to take a nap later, and you guys can do whatever you're supposed to do!"
"Yes, Lord Hou!"
.........
On the first day of the lunar month, the early morning at Jijiazhuangzi is particularly beautiful!
The snow has not yet melted, and the entire Zhuangzi is covered in snow.
The cold wind is biting, but it can't stop the tribesmen's enthusiasm for this day!
If Ji Song saw it, he might even recite a poem from later generations to express the beautiful scenery at this time! What is surprising is that early this morning, someone posted a pair of red papers in front of the door. At first glance, wasn't this the couplet that was circulated in Chang'an yesterday? It turns out that this was sent by the steward Zheng Li to inform him that the couplets of his own marquis were popular in Chang'an. There was no reason for his family not to use them. Otherwise, what would happen?
So, the tribesmen who got the news yesterday evening began to prepare.
Today's Zhuangzi doesn't even hire people to write couplets. Every family with children has gone to school, so writing a simple couplet is not easy! After posting the couplets, someone will compare them to see whose handwriting is beautiful and whose couplets have meanings. It sounds festive! If the couplet is written well, it will inevitably attract some sour praise from other families. If it is not good, the child who writes the couplet in that family will probably suffer.
There is no harm without comparison. Why are other people’s couplets better than those written by my own children? Did you not listen well to the teacher in class?Or maybe he deserted from class? Today is the first day of the year, and it is not suitable to spank children on a big day, but I have just recorded it and will talk about it later! The children who were playing and chasing had no idea that they had escaped because of today's day, and they were still playing happily...
