529 Tiger's Den and Wolf's Den
As he got closer and closer to Changli County, for some reason, Shang Kexi felt that the two hunters in front seemed to be getting faster and faster.
In response to this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that the donor is really eager to return home!"
At this time, it was already very close to the city gate. When he heard what he said, he saw the old hunter suddenly threw the roe deer on the ground, and ran away. When he was about to pass the young man, he reached out and pulled the young man a little confused and ran to the city together!
This situation happened suddenly, which made Shang Kexi, who was caught off guard, stunned and confused in his heart: What is this situation?
However, he immediately felt that the situation was not good. He also reacted quickly and turned around and ran away without any hesitation.
However, at this moment, I heard the old hunter running and shouting: "Come on, catch Jianlu, catch Jianlu!"
It was still snowing. From outside the city, there seemed to be no one.
However, as the old hunter shouted, he immediately saw a lot of people huddled out of the city gate, and heads appeared on the top of the city.
"Where are people, where are people?"
"Where is Jianlu?"
“…”
There was no need for the old hunters to explain it. As long as the officers and soldiers who left the city gate, they immediately saw five people running away outside the city.
Needless to say, these five people must be the old hunter who called Jianlu!
So, these officers and soldiers, like hungry tigers seeing a sheep, spread their legs and chased after them suddenly.
When Shang Kexi heard the movement behind him, he couldn't help but complain, and at the same time he wondered: What's going on? Where did he accidentally find out his identity by two hunters?
This time, it was really a boat capsized in the gutter!
King Zhishun, who was the founder of the predecessor, was about to fall on two hunters?
There were doubts, helplessness, and unwillingness to persuade Shang Kexi and the five others to perform very well, just like five wild dogs, running away quickly in the snow.
Now, I can only hope to run past these officers and soldiers behind me.
However, just as this idea was present, Shang Kexi and others heard the voice of despair.
Turning back, I saw a team of cavalry racing out of the city, surpassing the infantry who were chasing desperately, and approaching them soon.
At the same time, what made Shang Kexi a little stunned was that people were chasing him from the city gate.
Judging from their clothes, they are all ordinary people.
What made Shang Kexi even more amused was that those ordinary people who chased out of the city were men, women, young and old, and what were the guys in their hands?
Pots, pans, chopsticks and forks...
How active are they? When they hear the news, they chase them all no matter what they are doing?
Damn it must be that the mountain temple was so damn that it would have encountered such an unlucky thing!
But at this time, Shang Kexi no longer cared about complaining because he was already a little desperate!
No matter how much you run on two legs, you can't run on four legs!
Soon, the cavalry team caught up with Shang Kexi and others, circled around, filled with joy, and shouted loudly: "Surrender immediately, you can still survive, otherwise, kill them without any hesitation!"
Shang Kexi and others could no longer escape, so they had to face the outside together back to back.
One of them was still lucky and quickly said, "June, we are just monks, not Jianlu, you have recognized the wrong person!"
Hearing this, the Ming army soldier in the head couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's right, we're going to catch monks!"
While they were talking, the infantry soldiers running and chasing also caught up with each other, and were out of breath, but they were all very happy.
Shang Kexi saw in despair that the people chasing them all the way to Changli City Gate, like a long dragon. This formation should be the people in the entire Changli City chasing them out!
You...you are so overdoing it!
Shang Kexi thought to himself, and wanted to vomit blood!
……………………
Unlike Shang Kexi, who was confused and hit the guns of the people of Changli, Xia Chengde saw Geng Jimao exposed and implicated him. Fortunately, he walked quickly and finally attracted the attention of the imperial army, but he escaped.
Xia Chengde was also cunning. In fact, he did not flee north that day, but disguised himself as he rushed to the ship that was heading south on the canal.
When Shang Kexi was inexplicably arrested, Xia Chengde had already arrived in Wuqing and did not stay in the inn, but was mixed with those who were selling coolies.
Fortunately, it was winter, everyone was dressed tightly and had hats on their heads to keep warm. Otherwise, with Xia Chengde's bald head, he wouldn't have escaped so easily.
At this time, he and Xia San were together, hiding in the coolie's house to avoid the cold.
It was snowing heavily outside, and the northern section of the Grand Canal of Beijing has frozen and cannot be accessed anymore.
A large group of coolies were all seeking life by the canal. At this time, they were all done. They gathered together to keep warm. Listening to the cold wind outside, they naturally couldn't help talking.
There was such a big news in Tongzhou before, and the news had naturally spread south.
However, after chatting about the initial Jianlu's careful work for a while, these coolies quickly focused on other aspects.
"I heard that the wealth and property brought by Jianlu were all gold! Tsk, all gold!"
"What a pity. If I had known it, I would have been there. As long as I got one, I'll send it!"
"You guys don't know, you guys are crazy about robbing gold at that time, and they stomped on many people to death!"
"I will have some vision in the future. If I encounter Jianlu's fine work, it will be a fat sheep and I will be rich!"
"No, that thief is well developed. He will definitely leave a few pieces of it himself when he throws the package out!"
"What's the development? It's said that the government has begun to track down gold!"
“…”
Hearing these words, Xia Chengde and Xia San looked at each other and tightened their chests silently.
When they ran away, both of them ran away with gold. Broken silver coins and other things were not worth much, and they were heavy, so they were definitely not worth it!
But now, this gold is probably useless, what should I do?
Whether it is Xia Chengde or Xia San, they are a little worried. They clearly have huge wealth, but they have to live a penniless life!
God, don't you tease people like this?
After the two of them complained for a while, they suddenly realized that these coolies had changed the subject and were talking about their own business again.
"Brother, is there any news from your Luo Zu Cult that the steam train of Divine Power No. 1 will drive along the canal in the future?"
"Yes, the church is already talking about this."
"Damn it, if this is the case, wouldn't we be able to live!"
"Yes, let's fight with them!"
“…”
Xia Chengde had heard of the steam train complaining once when he was in Tongzhou. When he heard it again, he understood that the court wanted to push the steam train, and not to mention anything else, at least these bitterness were unhappy.
In other words, these people all have opinions about the court!
Thinking of this, Xia Chengde breathed a little relieved. Hiding among these people, the chance of being caught by the government was very high. When you look back and avoid this limelight, you will think about getting out of seclusion!
He was thinking, but the voices of talking in the room became louder and louder.
"Don't be impatient. News has been heard from the church that if you have any opinions about this, you can go to the Dragon King Temple outside the city tomorrow."
"What's the meaning?"
"Isn't our Luo Zusan just a hard time struggling to live together? This time, the incident has had such a big impact on us, so of course we have to make a total of together!"
"Is this what your Luo Zu Cult means?"
"The above is a message that makes us dissatisfied with the court in various places and select representatives to go to the Dragon King Temple. I guess that's what it means!"
“…”
Listening to them talking, Xia Chengde and Xia San couldn't help but look at each other again, then nodded slightly, obviously both of them knew what they were thinking.
……………………
The next day, Xia Chengde and Xia San mixed in a group of coolies and went to the Dragon King Temple.
According to Xia Chengde's idea, these people were dissatisfied with the court. If he was mixed in, he would not only easily hide, but might also develop helpers. This would help him do things within the pass.
In fact, he had this idea after hearing the complaints from those carriages in Tongzhou. Now that he encountered such dissatisfaction with the court again, he certainly did not want to let go.
Not only those who came to the Dragon King Temple, but also those who did not join the Luo Zu Sect, were also from other coolies who did not join the Luo Zu Sect.
I complained along the way, and I complained the same when I entered the Dragon King Temple. When I heard what they said, those who didn't know thought they were about to rebel.
This shows how much resentment they have towards the court!
Xia Chengde, who was mixed in the crowd, looked at this scene and finally smiled in his heart with a rare smile.
If there were more people like this, they would have caused a big mess in the future!
To cause trouble to the court is to help the Qing Dynasty!
While thinking about this, suddenly, a large number of imperial officials were rushing into the gate of the Dragon King Temple.
This situation made everyone stunned.
What's the situation?
Someone saw Zhou Wenzhen, the leader of the Luo Zushang, standing with the officers of the imperial army, shouted loudly, saying that Zhou Wenzhen had betrayed them.
Xia Chengde and Xia San in the crowd regretted this scene.
After finally escaping from the tiger's den, why did he enter the wolf's den again?
Zhou Wenzhen was not feeling guilty when he heard them scolding. He just waited for them to scold for a while before saying loudly: "You guys listen to me first, I did this for your own good!"
The officers who accompanied him shouted loudly, and the soldiers beside him also scolded him. Finally, the Dragon King Temple became quiet.
Chapter completed!
