Early this morning, Li Fuguo changed into civilian clothes, took more than a dozen palace guards and two personal little eunuchs under the Xian Yu Lie Mark, rode out of Jiangning City on a high-headed horse and stepped out of Jiangning City, and slowly walked in the direction of Lion Rock along the snow-pressed official road.
Yang Mansion's chief housekeeper Yang Kuo took the house slaves of the Yang Mansion and some soldiers in Yang Qi's army, set up an open top along the way, and prepared food and hot water for Li Fuguo and his party with an earnest attitude.
Li Fuguo verbally praised and thanked Yang Qi for his care, but in fact, he scolded Yang Qi into a puddle of mud in his heart.
If the curse can put people to death, Yang Qi doesn't know how many times he will die.
Li Fuguo knew better than anyone where Yang Qi's men were here to serve, but to monitor and threaten and warn.
If there is a slight disturbance in the dozen or so people in his group, it will definitely lead to a stormy blockade.
Li Fuguo's heart was extremely solemn, and he gradually felt that it might be difficult for him to escape from Yang Qi's palm.
Although he didn't think that Li Fuguo would dare to escape, he also took precautions and sent a large number of people to bring Li Fuguo and his party into the field of vision at any time in the name of protection and care.
Li Fuguo calculated, although the dozen palace guards under Xian Yulie were brave, but two fists were invincible to four hands, and in Yang Qi's territory, fighting against Yang Qi's men and horses was tantamount to hitting the stone mantis arm with an egg as a car and shaking a tree.
The snow has stopped, and the red sun hangs high in the sky.
On the Lion Rock, covered in silver, under the light of the red sun, the scenery is incomparably magnificent.
Li Fuguo took Xian Yulie and others to climb the mountain boredly, getting closer and closer to the Wangjiang Tower.
At this moment, the Wangjiang Tower is already a majestic silver building, standing halfway up the mountain, and the snow-colored mountains and forests all over the mountains reflect each other.
Li Fuguo gasped, slowly stepped on the snowy mountain road, and it took a lot of effort to reach the bottom of Wangjiang.
He stood in front of the building, looking up at the snow-covered glazed tile cornices at the top of the attic, and the hanging brass bells that were also submerged in snow, and his eyes were rolling with unknown ideas.
"Go upstairs" Li Fuguo waved his hand, shook off the support of the two little eunuchs, and strode up the stairs.
Xian Yulie followed in with a few palace guards, while the remaining palace guards stood downstairs, keeping enough vigilance.
Li Fuguo laboriously climbed to the second floor of the Wangjiang Tower, and he stood in front of the cloister of the attic, looking at the boundless snowy scene, and his heart flashed.
After a long time, he gritted his teeth and decided to take a risk.
He had a very strong premonition that if he didn't take advantage of this opportunity to escape, Yang Qi would probably attack him.
"Fresh and cold."
Li Fuguo said lightly, his eyes were cold and gloomy.
Xian Yulie clenched his fists and bowed: "The end will be" It's twilight.
On the only road leading to the outside world in Luogang Town, at the southern end of Tianchang County, four fast horses galloped through the thick snow, raising a slip of snow and muddy water, because it was the winter leisure season, not only the farmers in the nearby villages were nowhere to be seen, but even the residents of the town were mostly hiding at home and baking braziers to keep warm.
There are three or four hundred residents in the town, a gradually abandoned post station set up by the government, and an inn that is open to the public.
The main reason why the post station was abandoned was because after the An Lushan rebellion, the caravans from Jiangbei to the south were greatly reduced, and many avoided this place and detoured to the south of the mountain.
At the same time, the war in Jiangbei was in full swing, the channel was cut off, and the post station lost its due value and role.
If the people of the yamen don't pay attention to it and don't send people to take care of it, it will naturally be abandoned.
Fortunately, there are still sporadic merchants passing through this place to go south, so the only small inn in the town is still barely operating.
The inn is a slightly dilapidated two-story wooden building, and the plaque at the entrance called "Ping An Inn" has long been stained and rusted, and the handwriting is not very clear.
The innkeeper Zhong Wuniang was bored and nestled in a thick linen quilt behind the hall, unable to fall asleep in a daze; And the only guy in the inn, Zhong Wuniang's own brother Zhong Toad, was squatting at the door with great interest and skinning a hare.
The inn has not seen any merchants staying for several days, anyway, there is nothing to do, Zhong Toad went to the Shangtang ditch not far away to set up a few traps, and went to take a trip early this morning, and found that there were two fat gray hares, and an ugly badger.
The badger's meat was not edible, so it had to be sold to the grocers in the town to make badger oil.
But the hare is a delicacy.
Zhong Toad estimated that the two hares were skinned and cleaned, stewed in the pot, added some wild mushrooms, chestnuts, red dates, etc., and even ate meat and drank soup, which tasted really good.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded from far and near.
Zhong Toad was stunned, and then looked up excitedly to look at the way he came, and saw that three or four horses had already entered the town and were heading towards the inn.
Zhong Toad put aside the hare in his hand and rested it on the earthen platform at the door of the inn, anyway, there was still a layer of snow on the platform, so it would not stain the rabbit meat.
Zhong Toad casually grabbed a handful of snow from the ground to wipe off the filthy blood stains in his hands, stood in the middle of the road and waved his hand and shouted: "Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?"
Kong Sheng, who was at the head, turned over and dismounted, glanced at this shabby little inn, looked at Zhong Toad again, and smiled: "Yes, we live in a hotel."
Exceptional" "Yes, we have a good guest room, four guest officers, how many rooms do you want" Zhong Toad smiled all over his face, his shrewd little eyes blinked, and he was also secretly looking at Kong Sheng and the four of them.
The so-called people are clothes and horses are saddles, in the well-dressed Tang Dynasty, which pays special attention to grooming and appearance, Kong Sheng's four people are gorgeously dressed and have a good bearing, and they ride a majestic high-headed horse, so they are naturally regarded as a big man who is easy to see by his buddy Zhong Toad.
"Of course the four of us want four rooms."
Mu Changfeng smiled lightly: "Brother buddy, go and clean up the room, prepare the wine and food, we have a long way, we have to eat and rest in addition, our horses must be served well, and we must not be lazy" "Okay" Zhong Toad smiled and took the reins of the white horse chasing the wind from Kong Sheng's hand, and shouted at the inn again: "Wu Niang, there is a visitor" Zhong Wuniang, who was drowsy in the hall, was woken up by the roar of the bell toad, and a spirit jumped up from the couch, pulled the cloak and wrapped it violently, and walked to the front of the hall, and saw four guests walking in.
The first one was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a handsome face, a slender figure, and an elegant bearing, but he was wrapped in a fur cloak, and his face was slightly pale; And the next one, in the big winter, was still wearing a thin white dress, with a chic sky-blue hero scarf wrapped around his head, and a sword at his waist, which was heroic.

And further back, there were two majestic men in their thirties, burly in their hands, armed with scimitars, and with bronze faces.
Zhong Wuniang has taken over the inn from her dead ghost husband for three or four years, and she often deals with merchants from all over the world.
She only glanced at it, and she knew that these four people were not ordinary businessmen, and they couldn't be lazy.
Zhong Wuniang bowed to Kong Sheng with a smile, and then took Kong Sheng and the four of them upstairs on the creaking stairs to see the house.
Seeing that the proprietress was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a charming face and a graceful figure, combing the common folk women's hair in a bun, thinly applying fat powder, quite a bit of posture, Wu Xian and Wu Xie brothers couldn't help but look at it twice, especially Wu Xian's eager eyes stared at Zhong Wuniang's plump and shaking buttocks, Zhong Wuniang seemed to realize this, suddenly stopped, turned around and smiled at Wu Xian, the moment the smile bloomed was full of charm, and Wu Xian couldn't let go.
Ahem Mu Changfeng cleared his throat and glared at Wu Xian secretly.
Zhong Wuniang smiled and pushed open the door of a room, "Guest officer, let's see if you are satisfied." ” There is only a couch, a small desk, and a lamp in the room, and there is nothing else.
It can be said that the conditions are extremely simple, but in this remote town, what else can you ask for if you can have a room to live in and shelter from the wind and rain Kong Sheng smiled: "It's good, boss, open four rooms for us, and in addition, prepare some food, wine and food." ” Zhong Wuniang looked at Kong Sheng and smiled: "This son, there is food, but in a small place like ours, and the road is closed by heavy snow, there are only a few cold cakes and corn porridge, I don't know if the four distinguished guests can get used to it."
Kong Sheng sighed lightly, he was injured and lost too much blood, and he urgently needed to nourish his qi and blood, if he ate so simply, I am afraid he would not be able to hold on.
He suddenly remembered that when he entered the door, he found two fat rabbits with skinned skin at the door, so he said to himself: "Boss, look down and see your guy picking up hares at the door, sell those two rabbits to me, and there are no chickens and ducks and other poultry?"
"Yes, my brother caught a few pheasants the day before yesterday, and he didn't care about eating them, since the son likes it, the slave family went to order the guys to kill the chickens, cook them and send them to the guests."
"But the rabbit" Zhong Wuniang hesitated for a while before laughing and said: "This rabbit is a bit taboo to eat, and the nobles generally don't eat it, only I and other people in the countryside don't care about it."
Kong Sheng waved his hand: "It's okay, we don't pay so much attention to it, you just stew it" Wu Xian frowned and interjected: "Childe, this rabbit broth is a crime, and we can't eat it." ” Mu Changfeng pouted: "You have a lot of problems, I used to shoot hares to roast and eat in previous years, and I didn't see any taboos."
Wu Xian was a little afraid of Mu Changfeng, and didn't dare to say any more, so he snorted coldly, and turned his secretly coveted gaze on Zhong Wuniang.
Kong Sheng waved his hand: "Boss, I'm sorry for you" Zhong Wuniang cast a flattering look at Kong Sheng, then turned around and went downstairs to arrange. oshow7 t1706231537:
