On the official road fifty miles south of Xiaojiazhuang, two horses were tied and grazing by the roadside in the dark night.
Feng Zhidai and Li Xueyan were resting not far away, looking quite embarrassed.
The matter started two hours ago. Under the guidance of Zhao Deyan, the two of them rode horses and swords and rushed out to support. Even Li Xueyan, known as the heroine of the Li family, rushed ahead than Feng Zhidai. Feng Zhidai was completely Running with me.
It didn't take long for him to realize something was wrong, it seemed... the direction was wrong! The two of us were getting further and further away from the shouts of death.
So he stopped Li Xueyan and wanted to remind the other party. Only then did Li Xueyan confess that she did it on purpose and that she would take the opportunity to escape! The emperor is now in Xiaojiazhuang. When the emperor returns to Chang'an, it will be the day when he will be captured and brought back for marriage. Then there will be no chance.
Feng Zhidai's jaw dropped in shock. He never expected that at this critical moment of war, the princess would actually elope with him? Should I be surprised? Or should I be frightened?
After much thought, Feng Zhidai felt that something was wrong. Even if he eloped, he should help Xiaojiazhuang fight off foreign enemies, otherwise he would not be able to live up to the friendship of the champion.
But Li Xueyan was not pedantic, and even said that he did not care about etiquette and rules at all.
"Xiaojiazhuang is heavily guarded and has many masters. The Xuanjia Army is invincible in the world! Since the Champion Marquis dares to let His Majesty kill the enemy personally, he must have a perfect plan. Tonight's battle situation is not more than two of us, but not more than two of us. It is rare to have two of us. I am afraid this is my only chance to leave Xiaojiazhuang at night."
"Either you sit back and watch me being married off to Gaochang. Or take me to Lingnan tonight, and I will be yours from now on."
Feng Zhidai was firmly defeated, gritted his teeth, and finally chose the happiness of his lover, so the two took advantage of the chaos and eloped.
In two hours, he ran fifty miles along the official road, until he ran out of power and had to stop to rest.
Feng Zhidai sighed: "If we leave like this, I'm afraid it will bring huge trouble to the champion. It's true that Xiaojiazhuang was attacked tonight. His Majesty has gone into battle, but we escaped in the face of the battle and took advantage of the chaos to escape..."
You don't know if you are feeling guilty because of your long-winded look? He still has such a gentle temperament.
Li Xueyan rolled her eyes and snorted: "What? Do you regret asking you to elope with me? Remember what you said when you first chased me? You won't marry anyone but me in this life!"
"Now I am willing to give up everything to accompany you to the wild land of Lingnan, but you don't dare to?"
"Okay then, let's go back and pretend that you and I have never known each other!"
After saying that, he stood up directly and pretended to leave!
Feng Zhidai quickly stood up and held him back, "Where do I regret it? I can stay with you forever, and I will have no regrets in this life!"
"It's just that we have been in Chang'an for a long time and have been taken care of by the Marquis. You and I have taken shelter in Xiaojiazhuang, but now we have left without a trace, and even brought trouble to the Marquis..."
"Sigh... I'm afraid I won't be able to face the Marquis anymore in the future."
Li Xueyan also lowered her head, remembering that Sister Xiangcheng was so kind to her, but she left without saying goodbye and eloped with someone. How could she return to Chang'an in the future?
After a moment of silence, Li Xueyan sighed: "I know that I am sorry for my father, your majesty, and even more sorry for sister Xiangcheng. But if I don't leave tonight, I will be sent to the remote Gaochang, and I will never be able to return to the Tang Dynasty... …Woo!”
After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed to the north, and said sadly: "Dad, my daughter is unfilial and can no longer serve you. Sister Xiangcheng, when Xueyan survives this disaster, she will definitely come back to apologize to her sister."
Feng Zhidai helped the other person up and said comfortingly: "You can sleep on my shoulder for a while. Let's wait until daybreak before we leave. We are walking in a hurry. There is no place in front of us and no store behind. The horses have no concentrated feed. They are already gone." I can’t run anymore. Hey, I only have a few dozen taels of silver with me. I don’t know if it will be enough for us to walk to Lingnan.”
Li Xueyan smiled and pointed to the package on his horse, "Don't worry, I have already prepared five hundred taels of silver! If nothing else happens, it will be enough for us to go south. The only thing I am worried about now is being caught up."
"If the two of us don't go back, they will definitely send people to look for us. Not only the Xiaojiazhuang, but also the imperial court will send people. We will drive on a starry night along the way, changing horses but not people along the way. We must exceed the 800 miles of the imperial court. .”
"Well, I left a letter in the room for Sister Xiangcheng. I hope they can help persuade His Majesty to let us go. Otherwise... I'm afraid it will hurt you and Lingnan."
Feng Zhidai smiled, pulled up the robe on his body and helped the other party to set it up, "Don't worry, when we cross the Yellow River, it will be difficult for the imperial envoys to chase us. It will take ten days at most. If we can cross in front of them, As for the Yangtze River...haha, south of the Yangtze River, the imperial court is beyond its reach."
Really?
Isn’t it said that everything in the world is the king’s land, and the shores of the land are not the king’s ministers? Lingnan is also the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and your father is still the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty. Why do you sound like you, Lingnan, dominate Tiannan?
Although she likes to practice martial arts, she is still young and rarely goes out to Chang'an, so she doesn't know much about the affairs of the court. In fact, Lingnan was really the dominant power in the south of the world, beyond the reach of the Tang Dynasty court.
There was once a saying that the area that soldiers and horses can reach in one day is the core area of imperial governance and the absolute territory ruled by the Celestial Empire; the area that soldiers and horses can reach in one month is the actual ruling territory of this country.
As for Lingnan? It would take two months for the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty to travel across mountains and rivers.
One day later, Xiaojiazhuang panicked, and Princess Changle who went out to look for someone was also missing. What should we do?
"No, husband, I found a letter in sister Xueyan's room. She, she seemed to have left a letter and left with Feng Zhidai." Xiangcheng came quickly to find Xiao Rui.
gone? Where did it go?
Xiao Rui took the letter in confusion and was dumbfounded after reading it, "Are they? Elope? Elope overnight?"
Xiangcheng nodded: "I'm afraid it's true. Although Sister Xueyan comes from the royal family, she has a resolute and unyielding character. Emperor Daozong is extremely doting on her and never forces her to do anything. If Sister Xueyan uses his temper to elope... …It’s really her style!”
puff……
Xiao Rui wanted to vomit blood, and said with a mournful face: "I don't care if she elopes, but she has to choose a place. Can't she run away from her own home? She has to run away from my Xiaojiazhuang? How can I explain to Li Daozong now? He already hates me. , now is good, do I have to compensate him with a daughter? "
"It's really heartless. She has lived here for a long time, and I personally cook and serve her delicious food. If you don't point her fingers at us to thank us, don't hurt me!"
"When there was an enemy attack in my Xiaojiazhuang, you didn't say to help me fight off the enemy, but you actually took advantage of the chaos and ran away?"
"Bah! This guy Feng Zhidai is not a good guy either..."
Xiangcheng consoled him: "Husband, I know you are angry, but think about it from another perspective. You and I don't want sister Xueyan to stay and get married, so...so I ran away. Maybe this was her only chance. She will be grateful to you."
gratitude? Forget it, I don't lack her gratitude.
Just wait and see, His Majesty wakes up and asks me for help right away. How can I deal with it?
Xiao Rui secretly scolded Feng Zhidai for being unreasonable, and Li Xueyan, the girl who caused trouble! We have arranged everything, and we will not really marry her to Gaochang. If you run away with someone now, aren't you adding to the chaos?
