Chapter 5 Thrilling Escape
When Li Yunzhong was having breakfast, he accidentally heard a piece of news that made him vomit blood: Feng Yunshan had left, hiding it from almost everyone, and left for Guangdong before dawn.
With fear in mind, he ate something in a hurry and took away the money hidden in the public canteen while no one was paying attention. After returning to the house and packing up his things, Li Yunzhong planned to run away. As soon as he opened the door, he saw people standing on the left and right of the door.
Two people, Huang Weijiang and Ji Wenyuan. They followed them from the cafeteria, but Li Yunzhong didn't notice. Huang Weijiang is Yang Xiuqing's brother-in-law, and Ji Wenyuan is Yang Xiuqing's good friend.
"Haha, you two, it's so early. Where are you...?" Li Yunzhong, who was holding his baggage, asked sarcastically.
"Brother Yang ordered us two to take you to see him." Ji Wenyuan said expressionlessly.
Damn it: Who are you, Yang Xiuqing? How come everyone calls you "Big Brother"?
"Oh, Brother Yang wants to see me. You should have told me earlier. I want Brother Yang to wait for me. I'm so sorry. I'll change into new clothes first before I go." Li Yunzhong pretended to be happy and disgusting. After saying that, he quickly closed the door.
,
"Oops, Oops, that bastard Yang Xiuqing is going to attack me, what should I do?" Li Yunzhong will not think that Yang Xiuqing is asking him to talk about things. If he goes to see him obediently, when he arrives, Yang Xiuqing will come to earth like a heavenly father.
Those who are confused will be beaten up by him in the name of Heavenly Father. Li Yunzhong saw him use this trick several times, and it failed every time, so he had to find a way to escape.
"Brother Li, are you okay?"
"Okay, okay, I'll be here soon."
Regardless, Li Yunzhong opened the window and threw an old piece of clothing out. Life or death depends on this time. At the critical moment, Li Yunzhong suddenly remembered that he had watched Chen Xiaochun's version of The Deer and the Cauldron. Wei Xiaobao was caught by the Tiandi Society and used this trick.
He deceived his guard and escaped from the house.
Huang Weijiang and Ji Wenyuan listened carefully to the movement in the room. When they saw that there was no movement in the room, they knocked on the door. When there was still no movement, they hurriedly opened the door. When they saw, there was no one in the room.
"Oops, the window is open, he ran away, he can't run far, hurry up and chase him." Huang Weijiang looked at the house carefully and pointed to a piece of clothing outside the window and said.
"Yes, he just answered that he is still nearby. Let's separate. You go chase them, and I'll inform Brother Yang and the others," Ji Wenyuan said.
The two separated quickly. Seeing that they were gone, Li Yunzhong crawled out from under the bed and pretended to say, "Are people in ancient times so stupid?"
Li Yunzhong found a remote place with obstacles to hide, and finally got away from Huang Weijiang. Since there was only one way out of Zijing Mountain, Li Yunzhong did not dare to delay and ran towards the mountain pass quickly.
"Stop, are you worried about something?"
Li Yunzhong was startled by the sudden appearance of the person in front of him. When he looked carefully, he saw that it was Hong Xuanjiao.
"It turned out to be you, I was shocked." Li Yunzhong took a breath and patted his chest.
Hong Xuanjiao saw that there was no one nearby, and whispered to Li Yunzhong, "You should leave quickly. Yang Xiuqing wants to kill you. He has prepared excuses and is just waiting for you to pass." He then continued, "Yang Xiuqing hasn't notified the people guarding the mountain pass yet.
You'd better go to Guangdong to find Mr. Feng."
Seeing that she was not here to arrest him, Li Yunzhong hurriedly clasped his fists to Hong Xuangjiao and said, "Thank you for saving my life, girl. I am deeply grateful." After saying that, he bypassed Hong Xuangjiao and ran towards the mountain pass in a hurry.
Sure enough, Li Kaifang, who was guarding the mountain pass, just asked why he had to go out so early in the morning.
Li Yunzhong rolled his eyes and said loudly, "I heard that Mr. Feng returned to Guangdong. I will see him off and express my feelings."
Li Kaifang smiled and said, "Mr. Feng has been gone for an hour. I don't think you can catch up."
Li Yunzhong said, "How will you know if you don't try? I won't say anything anymore. I have something important to tell Mr. Feng. I'll leave first."
"The people in front stop him quickly, don't let him pass," Huang Weijiang shouted breathlessly from behind. It turned out that Huang Weijiang also remembered that there was only one way out, and as long as the exit was blocked, Li Yunzhong would be unable to fly. So he hurriedly headed this way.
I ran over and saw Li Yunzhong as expected.
Lin Fengxiang was surprised and asked, "What's going on? Why doesn't Brother Huang let Brother Li go out?".
Seeing that the people in front looked at him with doubts, Li Yunzhong blocked the exit intentionally or unintentionally. Li Yunzhong said helplessly, "I don't know, maybe he has something important."
Huang Weijiang came closer and breathlessly said to several people, "Brother Yang Xiuqing ordered me to take Brother Li to see him."
It turned out that he did not dare to reveal his purpose. Li Yunzhong decided to take the lead and reprimanded Huang Wei Jiang loudly: "Mr. Feng has left, and no one has gone to see him off. Yang Xiuqing, Yang Xiuqing, you only have Yang Xiuqing in your eyes! Is there Feng Angel, is there any more?"
Master Hong, I think there is something wrong with your thinking and you need to reform it."
Huang Weijiang was dumbfounded, stammered and speechless.
A charcoal burner standing next to Li Kaifang shouted, "That's right. I feel really uncomfortable seeing Mr. Feng go on the road alone early in the morning."
Lin Fengxiang scolded him and said, "Shut up."
Damn, I almost forgot that they were in a group. They had to get away quickly while Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang didn't understand the situation.
Li Yunzhong said as he walked, "Okay, I will come back to see Yang Xiuqing after seeing Mr. Feng off. After all, I can still catch up with Mr. Feng now. If I catch up with Mr. Feng after seeing Yang Xiuqing, I won't be able to catch up. Right?"
Huang Weijiang secretly thought: If he sees Brother Yang, he will send you to heaven, and he will also let you chase Mr. Feng. Alas! He cannot be forced to meet Brother Yang in front of so many people. If word spreads, it will ruin Brother Yang's reputation.
If you just let him go, how should you explain to Brother Yang when you go back?
Li Yunzhong walked for a while in fear and saw no one calling him from behind. He just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard someone shouting his name from behind. When he looked back, he saw Xiao Chaogui, Hong Xuanjiao and Ji Wenyuan waving to him. He was so frightened that he was scared for his whole life.
He ran forward as fast as he could, throwing some money behind him from time to time. Finally he left Zijing Town and came to Jintian Town. Passing by Jintian Village, he wanted to take a rest at Wei Zheng's house, but then he remembered that he was not a good person in history, so he
I gave up this idea. I ran to the ferry in Jiangkou Town with my last breath. I stopped when I saw no one was chasing me. I was sweating all over and realized that I had been running for nearly two hours. I planned to get there by boat.
Teng County.
He also met the boatman who sent Li Yunzhong to Guiping County last time. Because he knew from the last time that he was not a person who worshiped God, Li Yunzhong felt that he was the most reliable, so he became his boat.
"Boatman, can you take me to Teng County? The price is easy to negotiate," Li Yunzhong said to the boatman.
"Sir, I can only take you to Pingnan County. Teng County is too far away and you won't be able to get back before dark," the boatman said with a smile.
Li Yunzhong just wanted to leave Guiping as soon as possible, and it didn't matter where he went, so he promised the boatman to disembark at Pingnan County.
It was a smooth journey and we arrived at Pingnan County. When Li Yunzhong got off the boat, he saw a tea shop in the distance, so he went over to have a cup of tea.
"Waiter, bring me a pot of good tea." Li Yunzhong found a seat and sat down and shouted to the waiter.
"Here comes your guest, a pot of tea," the waiter said, placing the teapot on the table.
Seeing that his life was safe, Li Yunzhong could finally relax. He poured a bowl of tea, drank it in one gulp, took a long breath, and felt refreshed.
"Brother, do you want something? I have everything here, cheap and durable." A salesman pushing a trolley stopped next to Li Yunzhong and said to Li Yunzhong.
Li Yunzhong was in a good mood now. Seeing that his face was covered with sweat and he wiped his face and neck with the cloth draped over his shoulders from time to time, he said to the salesman, "Brother, please sit down and have a cup of tea to quench your thirst."
The salesman was not polite, he sat down directly, took a bowl, poured a bowl of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Thank you little brother, this hot day makes me feel hot and thirsty." The salesman sighed.
Li Yunzhong asked casually, "May I ask the eldest brother's name? The younger brother's name is Li Yunzhong, who is from Teng County in the east."
The salesman smiled and said, "I am from Pingnan County."
"Pfft..." Li Yunzhong heard his name, such an interesting name. He spit out all the tea he just drank on Meng Shengsheng's body.
"I'm sorry...I'll wipe it for you," Li Yunzhong quickly stood up and said.
"It's okay...it's cool this way. Others call me Shengsheng, Shengtian. This is my alias," Meng Shengtian said while wiping.
After chatting for a while, Li Yunzhong came up with Meng Shengsheng's situation. It turned out that his grandfather had a field with three tons of grain, seven or eight cattle, and harvested about 10,000 pounds of rice. He was a wealthy farmer. His father and three brothers
The family was divided, and he became addicted to opium. By the time of his death, his family fortune was basically lost.
Meng Shengsheng has four brothers, and he is the eldest. Because of the large population, he also runs a small business during the slack time, and works as a picker in the village to help support the family.
Li Yunzhong sighed to Meng Sheng, "It's opium that's harming people again."
"Pah!" Meng Shengsheng slapped the table and said angrily, "I really want to kill all those people who sell opium. I won't do anything but become the dogs of foreigners."
"This brother is right. I wish I could kill all those opium dealers who are causing harm to the country and the people." A strong man in rich clothes sitting at the next table turned to this side and said.
"I'm Hu Yihuang, I've met you two," the man said again.
Hu Yihuang? I seem to have heard of him. Hey, could it be that he is a general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? It seems that he needs to make good friends with him.
Li Yunzhong and Li Yunzhong also clasped their fists and said their names. The three of them sat at the same table and started chatting. Because Li Yunzhong had traveled through time, he could be said to "know astronomy from above and geography from below". Hu Tianhaidi blew it. He really called them two.
People admire him endlessly.
It turns out that Hu Yihuang has three brothers, and he is the second in line, with the elder brother Yizhao and the younger brother Yiyang. His father died when Hu Yihuang was less than ten years old, and the family property was inherited by his three sons. When the brothers grew up, in order to show off, they competed with each other.
He was wealthy and his family was in decline. Later, they had disagreements and the family was divided. At the age of twenty-seven, Hu Yihuang left his ancestral home in Luowen Village and moved to Datongli Shanren Village to build a cottage.
"It turns out that those foreigners live thousands of miles away and come across the sea in boats. The sea is dangerous. They are so bold." Meng Shengsheng sighed.
Hu Yihuang said, "It's called asking for money rather than life. The foreigners have sharp guns and cannons. They can't even compete with a hundred times the number of officers and soldiers. I think the Qing Dynasty will be destroyed by the foreigners sooner or later."
Li Yunzhong said, "Otherwise, foreigners only come here for money, and people all over the world hate foreigners. They can't win the country."
"I am Ling Shiba, the shopkeeper of this tea shop. I admire you after listening to your conversation, and I came here to get to know you."
