The first thousand one hundred and forty-six chapters of the road to escape

At midnight, Jincheng County, located in Kinki, was in a mess.

If the people here had not heard of the wind and fled, they would have witnessed the most spectacular scene in their lives. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who might have been desperate for the rest of their lives, appeared in the Jincheng County Party, and not only the Emperor, the Kings, Princess, and the Emperor's Grandchildren... Countless nobles described themselves as embarrassed. Some people couldn't even stand firm when they dismounted. The low houses around them that they wouldn't look at each other in the past have now become the object of everyone's scramble, but if there is a bed that can lie down and sleep, no one cares now.

Perhaps because of the news that the rebels were approaching, the people also fled. The Jincheng County Party was empty and the officials all fled Yu Jing. Chen Xuanli's imperial guards searched all the inside, but they were not even a ghost.

It was like running away from dawn. After starving for noon, I barely had a meal that was hard to swallow. Not to mention the princes and princesses who had never suffered in their lifetime, Li Longji, who settled in the Jincheng County Party, was also tired and regretful. What regretted is that over the years, Du Shiyi was not the only one who reported An Lushan's rebellion. There were many people in Fan Yang who made such suggestions. There were also Xi people who made a special trip to Beijing for trial. Yang Guozhong also criticized An Lushan again and again, but he only thought that he was just a silly and fat man. With his favor, he could have today. How could he dare to have any evil?

Now that he has reached this point, isn’t everything his own fault? Or, if he hadn’t used Geshuhan as the deputy marshal to fight the rebels, but re-activated Wang Zhongsi, he should have killed Li Heng long ago, so he could use Wang Zhongsi without any scruples instead of sending an envoy to Lizhou to send poisoned wine. But now, everything is too late.

When Chen Xuanli pushed the door gently, he saw Li Longji sitting there woodenly. He looked more than ten years older than before. He began to follow this king when he was young. Seeing him passing five passes and killing six generals to ascend to the throne, and then creating the Kaiyuan prosperous era. He had never seen him be full of energy. When had he ever seen him so desolate and miserable? For a moment, he was stunned and involuntarily developed a desire to retreat. He really didn't want to use the bad news to disturb Li Longji's mood at this moment.

"Is Xuanli?" Li Longji discovered Chen Xuanli who was in trouble. He wriggled Yu Rio's lips and then smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that I would have this day."

Chen Xuanli knew that it was too late to retreat at this moment, so he could only go forward and kowtow to salute, and then he remained silent. Li Longji saw that he seemed to have something to say, so he sighed, "But is there any bad news?"

"Yes... many eunuchs and palace ladies have escaped without a trace. Among them, there is the eunuch supervisor Yuan Siyi." Seeing that Li Longji's face changed drastically, he lost his strength to get angry, Chen Xuanli said carefully, "The whereabouts of Concubine Zhang Jie and several others are unknown."

Because Prince Li Heng was killed, Li Longji also took his anger on Zhang Yunrong and others, but this time he fled to Shuzhong, thinking about the couple's kindness for a day, he still brought them with him. However, he didn't expect that he had just arrived in Jincheng County. These concubines he once favored disappeared into the night. He also knew that there were only a limited number of palace maids to keep up with this time. Maybe they didn't want to leave him, but were very likely to be forced by the generals, but what is the difference for him? When he thought that his woman might be in a state of joy under another man, he felt that his heart seemed to have been stabbed a few times.

"Don't force the person who wants to leave, let them go."

When Chen Xuanli left, Li Longji just told this sentence. However, Chen Xuanli really believed that the emperor was so generous because of setbacks. Anyone could leave, but he had to try his best to restrain the generals of the army and not to have deserters. This is a matter of principle. Because after a deserter, there were probably hundreds or thousands, and it was like snowballs. As for the others, even if they were noble royal families, they would leave, and he would not have to worry about recovering them. But now, after he has been in command for so many years, he has always believed that the imperial guards who can be like the arm and point, can they really be like before?

The story of Zhang Yunrong and several other concubines disappearing quietly in the night was Chen Xuanli's secret, and Li Longji didn't want people to know, but Yang Yuyao got the news soon. She always regarded these maids who had followed Yu Nu as thorns in her eyes, but even though they were humble, Li Longji was not a long-lasting person, but they just twisted into a rope to make things difficult for her, making her unable to do anything. It was this time that she finally took advantage of Princess Yuzhen's death and Prince Li Heng also offended them, and gave them some eye drops. But before she could kill the grass, the rebels had already fought through Tongguan and disappeared.

"Okay, okay, Qi Sanlang ignores it at this time, see what good ending they will have in the future."

Seeing Yang Yuyao laughing happily, Yuqing had to speak out to remind her not to be too arrogant. On the day she was on the way, she keenly realized the depression in the army. If it were normal, she was not worried about how these humble soldiers would treat Jin Zun Yugui and others. But now she is not in Chang'an, but on the way, she has to consider some worst plan. However, when she tried to remind her, Yang Yuyao sneered.

"Sister, you are too timid. Chen Xuanli is the most trusted general of His Majesty. The vanguard Guozhong also announced a high reward. If they started making trouble on the way, they would not get anything. When they met the rebels, they might still be the word "death". But if they worked diligently to protect us to go to Shuzhong, and if they turned back, they would have both kind rewards and official positions, who would be so stupid?"

Thinking about Yang Yuyao's words, Yuqing also felt that it made sense, so she stopped talking. However, the younger sister, Mrs. Qin, was ill these days, and she couldn't feel at ease, so she went back. However, when she settled down with Mrs. Qin and went back to see her haggard daughter Cui, she thought that her husband, King Guangping, was also killed with Li Heng, and she felt a little more pity. She went up to take care of the people and comforted her for a few words, and then said in a low voice: "Okay, everyone is dead, don't cry. Just bring your two sons back, and you will be able to support you for the rest of your life in the future."

"But they are all still young. I don't know whether they can persevere in Shuzhong when they are running around like this." Cui cried so hard that the pear blossoms were raining, hugged his mother's arm and said sadly, "My grandmother, how can the saint be so cruel? That is his son and his grandson."

"Enough," Yuqing stopped crying his daughter, and then said to him word by word, "Don't forget that you were able to marry Prince Guangping as the official concubine because your aunt was the only one who was holy and married. She died when her husband died. Didn't your aunt die at the same time, but she still favored the harem?"

Seeing Cui's throat suddenly as if he was stuck in his throat, his cry turned into a silent sob. Yuqing couldn't help but feel upset and suddenly remembered the Jade Slave who had almost been forgotten by him.

If it weren't for the Yu Nu, how could the Yang family's already declining gang would have the glory of the present? But if you can't get through this level now, everything will be over

Early the next morning, when Li Longji set out again, he gradually discovered that except for the royal families who did not dare to leave the brigade, the eunuchs and palace ladies looked at it, and seemed that they had all escaped for the whole night. Even the imperial guards under Chen Xuanli felt that the number of people decreased sharply than when they set off yesterday. However, he did not even dare to ask Chen Xuanli for such questions, for fear that the numbers reported by the other party would make him panic. After getting into the car, he found that he was empty, and he remembered his discomfort in the morning, and his heart was even more bitter.

Yuan Siyi escaped, and when he fled Chang'an, he did not bring Gao Lishi with him. Compared to the ungrateful Yuan Siyi, Gao Lishi followed him for decades, so why did he drive away people because he pleaded for Li Heng? But now it is impossible to get people out in Chang'an City. Without him, I don't know what chaos will be like in Chang'an City.

Regret and unwillingness bit his heart like a poisonous snake. On this day, no one was holding a pistachio of pain in An Lushan, nor did they carry pots to deliver water and contribute food. They only had time to bring gold pearls and soft, but they had not had time to bring food with them, and the shortcomings of food were finally revealed.

I don't know how the news of the emperor's escape from Chang'an spread. All the people along the way also fled to the mountains with the elderly and the young. Even if Chen Xuanli cruelly asked the imperial guards to search for food, he still had nowhere to be found. In the end, Li Longji, the emperor, could barely eat some things left yesterday, such as Hu cakes, and the noble kings and the civil and military officials who followed him could still share some residue, but the others could only starve.

The nobles swallowed their anger and hunger, but the soldiers below were still hungry, but they were still sent to guard the situation. The resentment and hatred in their hearts gradually gathered, fermented and sprouted. In the evening, when this long queue of several miles finally arrived at another inn, Chen Xuanli, who had broken in first, faced an embarrassing situation after urgently checking the wine warehouse and the grain warehouse. The grain warehouse was empty without a drop of food, as if they had carefully cleaned the inventory when they escaped from the postmaster to the postmaster, and the heavy wine in the wine warehouse that could not be eaten was still there. But Chen Xuanli thought about it and ordered people to block the wine warehouse.

After being hungry all day, now when he arrived at the inn, he had to face the dilemma of hunger all night. Although Chen Xuanli had always enforced orders, at midnight, someone still smashed the lock of the wine warehouse and brought out all the jars of fine wine. The soldiers who came heard the news quickly snatched the wine. Even after the jar was broken, some people lay on the ground and sucked hard, as if they could fill their stomachs. As hundreds of jars of good wine in the warehouse were snatched up, the soldiers who were a little drunk and flushed in their faces gradually became boiling.

Some people miss the peace in the prosperous Kaiyuan era, some miss the Qingming Festival of Yao Songxian, some miss the famous generals such as Zhang Shouqi, Li Wei, and Wang Zhongsi, and some even scolded Ge Shuhan for being a false reputation. Amidst the shouts, I don’t know who shouted, “It’s all Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong who are traitors in trouble with the country.” For a moment, the voices of response were rising one after another, and they went straight into the sky.
