"Brother Xian, where have you been for so long? I thought you were lost!" Gongsun Sheng asked anxiously when he saw the thank you letter coming back.
"Indeed, I got lost and ended up backstage without knowing it, haha..." Xie Xin answered half-truthfully.
"I think brother Xian, you just want to go backstage to see Bian Linglong. Just seeing you looking at her intently just now, brother Xian, I know that you just fall in love with her.
But if you like me, you must never express your love, you know? If the people who gave it to the general find out, I am afraid that the life that I have managed to save will be lost again." Gongsun Sheng shook his head and immediately used his brother's words.
I gave Xie Xin some education from my standpoint.
"Don't worry, I know what's appropriate." Xie Xin said with a smile.
"Forget it, you're such a big man, you should know what's appropriate. Let's not talk about that, let's continue drinking!" Gongsun Sheng knew that Xie Xin didn't want to talk about this, so he could only change the topic.
The two of them drank happily, and in the end Gongsun Sheng laughed loudly and watched Xie Xin being carried back by the servants sent by the Gongsun family. But he was not much better. As soon as he left Chunman Building, he found him
A hidden corner where 'pouring' went.
The next day, Xie Xin originally felt uncomfortable because of his hangover, but in order to complete his first disciple task, he had to get up early.
Gongsun Sheng was still sleeping soundly, and Xie Xin didn't want to disturb him. He just found a servant sent by Gongsun Zan at any time and asked him to help convey to Gongsun Sheng that he was about to leave today.
Gongsun Sheng originally planned to leave today, so he and Xie Xin had already bought the horses.
Looking at the white-maned horse in front of him, Xie Xin couldn't help but wonder: Do everyone in the Gongsun family have a preference for white horses?
However, not knowing how to ride is really a flaw for Xie Xin.
Horses these days only have a piece of animal skin on their backs and don't even have stirrups. Not to mention how to ride steadily on the horse, let alone getting on the horse is extremely difficult.
In desperation, Xie Xin could only ask his servants to summon two ropes and pass them through the animal skins on the horse's back to make simple stirrups, and then he reluctantly got on the horse.
First, I went to the Tongde counter to exchange fifty gold dollars, and at the same time bought some food in the market, mainly preparing enough dry food.
The rest include fire sickles, a change of clothes, and water bags. Xie Xin also purchased a batch one after another.
Finally, based on the route I remembered, I came to the back door of Manchun Building.
After finding a remote alley, Xie Xin tied up the horse anywhere he could tie it. Then he quietly poked his head out, paying attention to the movement at the back door of Manchun Building.
Of course, Manchunlou will not be open during the day, but there will be dedicated people coming in and out to do shopping. Of course, there are also some prostitutes who don't want to rest, and they also come out together, probably to go shopping?
However, promiscuous women these days do not have much freedom. Even when they go shopping, each of them will be followed by an average of three nursing homes. If these girls plan to escape, then these nursing homes will perform their duties.
The time soon reached the appointed hour, but there was no woman coming out of the thank you letter. Finally, at a quarter of the hour, the food delivery boy who had gone in before came out pushing an empty cart.
It's just that the food delivery boy did not return to his home immediately after coming out, but looked around.
"Is it her?" Xie Xin wasn't sure, but sometimes it wasn't his turn to hesitate.
So, he tried to poke his head out and waved to the food delivery boy.
Soon, the food deliveryman discovered Xie Xin and pushed his cart to the alley where Xie Xin was.
"I thought you weren't coming!" He took off the straw hat from his head, revealing a delicate and tender face underneath.
"How could a student with such good qualifications miss out on being a teacher?!" Xie Xin said with great interest.
"Okay, you shouldn't stay here for a long time. You and I will take me away immediately!" At this moment, Bian Linglong had already seen the horses behind Xie Xin and the packages on the horses.
The next second, she took off her outer coarse cloth, revealing the tights underneath. Between the two pieces of clothing were some thickened clothes, which she wrapped in coarse cloth.
At the same time, she took off her shoes.
Only then did Xie Xin discover that her feet were raised using something similar to stilts.
But if you think about it, you can understand it. If she didn't increase the height, wouldn't it be a little too obvious for her to be ten years old?
What was most beyond Xie Xin's expectation was that she got on the horse in just a few clicks and sat firmly on it.
Don’t forget to laugh at the thank you letter: “These two ropes are good, it makes getting on the horse a lot easier. By the way, why don’t you get up? Don’t tell me that you led the horse all the way here?”
Xie Xin had no choice but to spend some effort and get on his horse.
"As expected, you have never ridden a horse. You might as well sit in the back. My equestrian skills are better." Seeing Xie Xin's novice approach, Bian Linglong couldn't help but suggest something.
"No, it's not good if you sit in front, it's too conspicuous! By the way, you put this on!" Xie Xin took the package, dug out a veil inside and handed it over.
"That's very thoughtful!" Bian Linglong took the veil and put it on quickly.
"Well, sit tight, let's set off!" Xie Xin said to the back and quickly started running.
When they passed the horse market, Bian Linglong said: "I think it is better for us to buy one more horse. After all, two people per horse will make the horses tired quickly. In case there is a pursuer behind, we will just
I’m afraid I can’t catch up with others!”
Xie Xin thought about it, so he handed her the bag containing the gold coins and asked her to choose one.
About three minutes later, she ran back on a red horse.
"This horse's name is Liaoyuanhuo, and it is a bloody horse produced in Dayuan Kingdom! Although its endurance is a little worse than yours, its speed is definitely top-notch!" Bian Linglong said proudly.
"Such a good horse, how much does it cost?" Xie Xin asked weakly.
"Indeed! Such a good horse usually costs at least one hundred gold yuan. But the seller didn't know much about the goods, so he bought it for me for forty-five gold yuan!" Bian Linglong said proudly, and then she only had four gold yuan left.
If you lose your money bag, you will receive a thank you note.
Looking at the money bag after rapidly losing weight, Xie Xin felt like he wanted to cry without tears.
"Okay, don't worry, run quickly! If I guessed correctly, there will be at most a quarter of an hour before the food delivery person will be discovered. The pursuers will be here by then!" Riding his horse to Xie
Beside Xin, Bian Linglong whispered to him.
Xie Xin naturally understood, so the two quickly rode their horses and ran towards the city gate.
Since it was not a special period, it was easy for the two of them to go out. Soon, the two of them walked out of the Xuanwu Gate and began to move south.
Ten minutes later, a system prompt came over: "Congratulations to the host for completing the second ring mission. Bian Linglong's favorability towards you has increased by 30 points, totaling 45 points.
Host, please be aware that the general's spy has discovered Bian Linglong's escape and is now investigating closely. At most around three o'clock in the afternoon, traces of the host will be discovered and people will be sent to hunt him down.
Start the third ring disciple mission: bring Bian Linglong back to Nanyang safely."
At this moment, Xie Xin's heart became heavy because he knew that he was having sex with the most powerful person in the Han Dynasty!
Although Dou Wu will eventually be pulled down by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he is still the most powerful now. Going against him is indeed a joke with your own life.
No wonder, Bian Linglong's disciple mission was rated SS level.
But Bian Linglong was feeling extremely comfortable at the moment. She knew that she had finally escaped from the prison of Luoyang. Looking at the man not far behind her, she suddenly felt that he seemed much better-looking than before. And he was the only one.
For your dedication, even if you marry him in the future...
Soon, Bian Linglong realized that her thoughts were wrong, and she couldn't help but cursed secretly: It's not really safe yet? What on earth was I thinking? How annoying!
However, in her heart, Xie Xin's status was much higher.
At the same time, in Luoyang City.
"General, Bian Linglong has escaped from Luoyang!" A soldier hurriedly came to report to General Dou Wu.
"Bian Linglong, who is it?" Dou Wu was planning how to train the little emperor, but he still couldn't react.
The soldier was speechless for a moment, but fortunately, the clerk who was assisting him stood up next to Dou Wu and explained to him: "General, she is the little girl you met when you went to Manchun Tower for entertainment last year.
Xu Shao, who was at the table at that time, saw this girl and said that she looked like a queen. At that time, you said that such girls should be kept in private rooms.
Just by asking around, I learned that this girl has recently lost her father. Therefore, General, you have promised her to observe mourning for three years and then take her into your room when she is twelve years old."
After the clerk said that, Dou Wu finally remembered.
It's a bit embarrassing to say that he was drunk a lot at that time, and he was already in a daze. But one or two of them threatened to take this girl into his private house just by talking casually.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it. After all, he was almost sixty years old this year. It was nothing to take a teenage girl into his private house! Besides, he had no hobbies in this area in the first place.
Fortunately, he found out that the other party had recently lost his father. Dou Wu realized that there was a step down, so he pretended to let her observe filial piety and delay the closing of the house for three years. In fact, he planned to let her take advantage of this opportunity to go as far as she could.
"She hasn't left Luoyang this year?" Dou Wu couldn't help but ask the little official.
As soon as the clerk heard Dou Wu's tone, he knew something was wrong. Having followed Dou Wu for so many years, he had already seen that Dou Wu had no interest in that little girl at all.
"Speaking of which, some of his subordinates were meddlesome. They thought the general had to keep the girl in his private room, so they sent troops to watch the girl day and night. They even secretly notified the city gate defenders not to let the girl leave the city. So.
..." At the end of the sentence, the clerk rubbed his hands and looked at Dou Wu sheepishly.
Those subordinates who didn't understand his thoughts, didn't they remove their own steps?
"Wait, you mean she ran away?" Dou Wu suddenly remembered the contents of the soldier's report.
"Yes, at three o'clock in the morning, Bian Linglong left the city riding a flaming red horse and a scholar riding a white horse!
At first, Bian Linglong was wearing makeup, so the city defense army did not notice it. Later, they learned that Bian Linglong had escaped, and after some investigation, they found out that the woman was Bian Linglong!" the soldier replied with fear.
"Run away with a man!?" Dou Wu's eyes widened immediately.
"It should be like this..." The soldier quickly knelt down.
He was trembling all over at this moment, fearing that Dou Wu would be unhappy and pull him out to chop him.
"General, we must capture them immediately. No matter what, if we let them go, it will not be good for the general's reputation!" Upon hearing this, the junior official quickly advised him.
"Well, notify them immediately and arrest them for murdering others." Dou Wu thought about it and had no choice but to agree.
After all, in the eyes of others, others can take away the woman they have decided on. And after knowing about it, he doesn’t do anything. Why don’t others think that he is a coward?
By then, I'm afraid that any unknown person can bully him.
"General, do we need to send out the Imperial Guard to hunt him down?" the soldier asked weakly.
"Isn't that embarrassing enough? For a woman who eloped with someone else, I, the great general, mobilized the army to hunt her down. If word spreads, do I still want to see anyone?" Dou Wu got very angry and shouted loudly.
"Why are you still standing there? Go and issue a wanted order!" Upon seeing this, the clerk immediately came out to smooth things over.
"Here! Resign, little one!" As soon as the clerk gave him the steps, he kowtowed and said goodbye.
"What a mess. It seems like I have to take it easy when I'm going to drink in the future!" Seeing that the soldier had gone out, Dou Wu murmured and walked back to the desk.
The clerk also smiled bitterly and silently returned to his seat to help process official documents.
Twelve hours later, a large number of wanted notices with pictures of Bian Linglong and Xie Xin began to be sent to various states and counties with the knights.
