Chapter Forty: Escape from the Imperial City
"Ah - wait a minute, Wan'er, you can't be so cruel to me!"
Guo Nuan's little heart was suddenly startled. He saw the sword against his throat being slowly raised and about to be struck down in an instant.
At this critical moment of life and death, Guo Nuan suddenly squeezed out two lines of clear tears, and then burst into tears. He immediately threw away the reins, hugged Kang Wan's legs standing in the driver's seat, and wiped them with the hem of her long skirt.
tears, and burst into tears.
The woman didn't expect that Guo Nuan would suddenly show such virtue. She was stunned for a moment, and her raised sword hung in the air.
Fortunately, Guo Nuan's voice was loud enough, and his tragic cry immediately attracted the attention of several pedestrians on the road.
"Why do you, a girl, treat your husband-in-law like this? It's normal for a young couple to bicker and quarrel occasionally. If there is any conflict, sit down and talk about it. Don't just scare your husband with a sword."
An old lady with dizzy eyes tremblingly leaned on crutches and slowly moved to the roadside and came to Guo Nuan's carriage. The old lady looked at the poor Guo Nuan with sympathy. At this time, he was struggling to hold Kang.
Wan's thighs refused to let go.
"Yes, madam, please spare my husband. It's so late. If you hurt my husband, how can you, a weak woman, drive a carriage home? If you don't think about your husband, you also have to think about the three things in your belly."
For the sake of the one-month-old child, the child cannot lose his father as soon as he is born." Then there was another earth-shattering cry, Guo Nuan's acting talent is really good.
When Guo Nuan saw the savior coming, she immediately nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, the frequency range up and down very fast.
"Let go of your dirty hands and drive immediately!"
Seeing that Kang Wan had attracted the attention of passers-by, in order to avoid the suspicion of outsiders and attract the police officers who captured her, she had no choice but to stop attacking Guo Nuan and then said coldly to him.
Immediately, Guo Nuan reluctantly let go of his hands holding Kang Wan's thighs, and put down the sword together with his heart. Kang Wanke then opened the curtain of the carriage and got into the carriage.
Guo Nuan let out a long sigh, glad that he had saved a small life, and thanked the kind old lady with tears in his eyes: "Old lady, thank you so much, my wife often does this to me, I'm used to it,
It’s okay, she was just joking.”
"Why are you waiting so long? Let's go quickly!"
Before Guo Nuan could express his heartfelt feelings to the old man, a cold scolding came from the curtain. Then Guo Nuan fell silent, not daring to say another word. He hurriedly bid farewell to the enthusiastic old man. With a wiping cold sweat on his forehead, Guo Nuan raised his riding whip.
He whipped the horse's butt, turned around and drove towards the east city gate.
Driving a speeding carriage, getting further and further away from home, Guo Nuan's heart also became cold. There was a murderous female devil sitting behind the curtain, secretly complaining that he was the lucky one today.
Grandma's bad.
The carriage arrived at the east city gate soon. Guo Nuan slowed down and looked at the arched city gate that was getting closer and shouted that something was wrong. Under the large city gate made of rammed earth in front of him, there were sharp spikes that blocked the horse.
, sandbags and other obstacles, a group of no less than thirty fully armed city gate armored guards held up spears and spears, equipped with horned bows, and carried quivers on their backs. The soldiers were all holding fire sticks and were waiting in front of the city gate. Carefully
Check the passers-by.
The sweat that Guo Nuan had just stopped flowing started to flow down from his forehead in an instant. If Guo Nuan dared to move even slightly at this moment, the sword behind his back would be stabbed down without hesitation.
I felt like my back was being hit by a sharp sword point, causing kidney pain.
"Well, about fifty cloths ahead is the entrance to the east city, but there are many sentries guarding it now." Guo Nuan whispered to Kang Wan inside the curtain.
"Don't move around. Let me pass the test. If it doesn't work, drive the carriage towards the city gate at full speed and throw away the city guards." There was a calm reply from inside.
After hearing Kang Wan's words, Guo Nuan's heart almost broke, his face twitched and twisted, and he thought to himself in frustration.
"It would be nice if it was so easy to get through again. Auntie, do you think this gorgeous pear-wood frame carriage that looks useless is the Russian Challenger 2-Tiger heavy tank.
If you say rush over, just rush over. There are a lot of roadblocks in front of you, and there are also a group of heavily armored spear guards. How can you rush over? The day before yesterday, this old horse was working hard to breed the mare in the stable, and now it looks listless.
, how can you expect it to charge into battle at full speed."
After complaining for a while and gritting his teeth, Guo Nuan quickly adjusted his expression and became as if nothing had happened, and drove the carriage slowly and leisurely towards the east city gate.
Just arrived at the city gate downstairs, the spearmen set up their spear staffs to block the way of the carriage. The gatekeeper walked to Guo Nuan's carriage with a solemn expression and looked up at Guo Nuan who was sitting in the driver's seat of the carriage warily.
.
"Is there anyone inside? We have just received notification that Mr. Sinongqing was assassinated by a female killer. Now we must strictly interrogate all pedestrians leaving the city."
The middle-aged captain kept his right hand on the sword at his waist and stared sternly at Guo Nuan, who was feeling terrified.
"Hey, sir, there's no suspicious person in the carriage. You don't need to check. It's my wife Wang inside. She just caught a cold. The wind was so cold at night that she couldn't lift the curtain. I hope you can be accommodating.
, I am a good citizen of Chang'an, and I will never harbor criminals."
"Madam, give your husband a shout so that the officer can listen." Guo Nuan turned her head and shouted into the curtain with a serious look on her face.
Immediately there was a flurry of lazy and coquettish replies from the carriage: "Mr. sir, do you insist on checking the carriage? The carriage is only covered with a thin quilt and is only wearing a tube top. What should I do? Okay
It’s difficult.”
Guo Nuan didn't expect Kang Wan to be so cooperative. The originally cold tone immediately turned into a soft whisper that made the man melt. Guo Nuan shivered all over.
At this moment, the captain was doubtful and was about to give up checking the carriage room. However, Guo Nuan was self-defeating and another incident occurred.
Guo Nuan laughed and smiled politely at the captain. He took out a certain amount of snowflakes of silver from his arms and handed it to the captain: "Thank you for your hard work, sir. You are still on duty so late. This is just a little bit of brother's kindness. It is not respectful."
, I just want to make friends, now I have to rush home immediately, my wife is seriously ill, there is no time to delay."
"Drink, you dare to bribe me!"
The captain's eyes widened, and his purple beard almost stood up. With a clang, he immediately pulled out the sword from his waist, and immediately a group of guards behind him gathered around him.
Guo Nuan secretly exclaimed that something was not good. He did not expect to find officials in the Tang Dynasty who were not greedy for money. His luck today was extremely unlucky.
"Damn it, you can't be soft, I'm going to be hard." Guo Nuan cursed and yelled.
"I am the son of Guo Ziyi of the Fenyang Palace. My name is Guo Nuan. You, a lowly official like you, can recognize me. Look carefully!" Guo Nuan was forced to have no choice but to take out his identity and suppress him.
The captain did not expect that Guo Nuan suddenly changed his attitude. He was polite just now, but now his attitude is very brutal and domineering.
The captain took advantage of the dim night to approach Guo Nuan and took a closer look at his face.
Hey, it's true, the captain immediately saw Guo Nuan clearly. The person in front of him was not the son of Commander Guo Ziyi.
"The villain has blind eyes. I didn't expect it to be you. I hope Mr. Guo will forgive me." The captain saw that he was really Guo Ziyi, who was highly respected by the soldiers. Compared with the old man Guo Ziyi, his son Guo Nuan looked much younger.
, it was simply printed out of the same mold, and there was no need for identification. It turned out to be the real son of Guo Ziyi.
There was a sound of lowering their weapons, and all the dozens of sentries guarding the city raised their hands to Guo Nuan and shouted: "Please forgive me, Mr. Guo!"
He didn't expect that his father would be so prestigious in the army. Seeing the actions of the soldiers in front of him, Guo Nuan smacked his lips in wonder.
"Captain, you're welcome. My father has always taught me to be lenient to others. It's my fault that I didn't explain it clearly in advance... Well, I'll leave now." Guo Nuan stopped procrastinating and saluted the sentries with fists clasped.
