The military camp was in chaos!
Chen Xuanli was looking at the fire in front of him with an angry expression!
A group of soldiers were getting water to put out the fire! He was extremely busy!
Chen Xuanli ordered the leaders beside him,""There's nothing to burn! Leave a portion of you behind to put out the fire. The rest of you, get ready and set off. Increase your vigilance to prevent any sneak attacks!”
Chen Xuanli was indeed the Great General Long Wu. He was not flustered when faced with problems and was a person who could handle things.
Suddenly, Chen Xuanli thought of something! He asked a garrison commander beside him," Is everyone in chaos? Hurry up and send a group of people to strengthen the security. Don't let anyone enter or leave the Courier Station!”
"Yes, General!"
The garrison commander received the order and led a group of soldiers to the entrance of the Horse Posthouse.
Chen Xuanli ordered another garrison commander,""You, bring a team of people to the inn and ask if you need help to put out the fire.”
"Yes, sir! General!" This person also received the order and left.
Chen Xuanli looked at the raging fire in front of him and then looked at the fire in the inn. He thought to himself that this fire was really strange. Someone must have set it on purpose!
Chen Xuanli's expression was grave. His previous plan with Crown Prince Li Heng had been to set the day before daybreak, but these few fires were truly making him feel guilty!
Chen Xuanli was considered loyal to the Emperor and had never had any intention of rebellion. However, when he was in Chang 'an, he was bullied by Prime Minister Yang Guozhong. There were several times when Yang Guozhong falsely accused him to the Emperor and almost killed him. Therefore, he had always hated Yang Guozhong.
Ever since An Lushan approached Chang 'an, Emperor Li Longji had escaped from Chang' an overnight. Yang Guozhong had also fled westward with his family. They wanted the Emperor to escape to Shuzhou, which was under Yang Guozhong's sphere of influence.
Chen Xuanli was still worried. He thought to himself that if they reached Shu Prefecture, Yang Guozhong would have the final say in everything. He was also afraid that Yang Guozhong would settle the score with him.
Just as Chen Xuanli was feeling uneasy, Crown Prince Li Heng sent his trusted aide, the Eastern Palace Eunuch Li Fuguo, to inquire about his actual situation. Li Fuguo was an old friend of Chen Xuanli, and after a few words, he revealed his true feelings. As such, Chen Xuanli decided to go with Crown Prince Li Heng to mutiny at Mawei Posthouse, eliminate the Yang Family's power, and then force Li Longji to abdicate!
However, this operation had not even begun! Why did it suddenly catch fire? Chen Xuanli had an ominous premonition!
……
Meanwhile, Wang Daniu was about to bow to the goddess in his heart, the current Imperial Consort, when Wu Tianlang helped him up.
Seeing this, Yang Yuhuan also said," This chivalrous man, now that Yuhuan has fallen into the hands of the common people, she is no longer a noble consort. It's better to skip the formalities!"”
"That's right, that's right. Let's not stick to these formalities. Let's go our separate ways."
Go our separate ways?
That's right!
According to the plan, Wu Tianlang would bring Yang Guifei and Qiu Ju to escape towards the west and head towards Shu Prefecture. Dongmei, as the person who was chasing after them, would head east and meet up with the Wei Nation monks at the boundary stone at Mawei Slope. They would then head towards the East Sea.
Speaking of going their separate ways, Yang Yuhuan held Dong Mei's hand tightly and tears fell like rain.
" Imperial Concubine, time is of the essence. You should hurry and escape to the west. Dongmei, I'm going to the Boundary Stele…" As Dongmei spoke, tears began to flow out!
Suddenly, the atmosphere was filled with sorrow.
"Dongmei, you must be careful!”Yang Yuhuan said reluctantly.
Dong Mei nodded and turned to leave resolutely.
"Hey, Dongmei, wait!" Wu Tianlang stopped Dong Mei.
Dong Mei turned around and said generously,"Wu Tianlang, don't say such sensational words! Everyone, take care of yourselves."
Wu Tianlang gestured for Dong Mei to wait and said,""Dongmei, I'm worried about you being a girl. Let me send you off!”
Wang Daniu spoke up," Tianlang, are you talking about the boundary stele of Mawei Slope? If it's there, I can give it to this girl!”
"Brother Bull, are you willing to escort Dongmei to meet up with them at the boundary marker at Mawei Slope?" Wu Tianlang asked after some thought. That would be great! We can't stay here for long. I want to take Imperial Concubine to the west immediately!”
When Wang Daniu heard this, although he did not understand Wu Tianlang's specific plan, he firmly believed that Wu Tianlang's decision was made after careful consideration. He looked at Dong Mei, who was dressed as a man, and said,"This girl is so brave! Alright, Tianlang, I'm willing to escort this girl. Isn't she the Boundary Stone we saw? It's very close-"
Wu Tianlang nodded." That's right!"
"What should I do after Miss Dongmei meets up with those people?" Wang Daniu asked. Did he come back to look for you?"
Wu Tianlang thought for a while and said," Big Bull, I think we shouldn't go back to the military camp. If they find out that you started the fire, they'll kill you."”
Qiu Ju, who never liked to talk, spoke up." Let's head west first. We can just wait for him somewhere in the west!”
Wu Tianlang nodded, feeling that it made sense.
Wang Daniu glanced at Qiu Ju and said,""This girl is right! Three kilometers to the west, there's a dilapidated Guandi Temple by the roadside. Wait for me there. I'll rush back to meet you after I send Miss Dongmei off…"
"Guan Yu Temple three kilometers west?”Wu Tianlang muttered," Alright, Big Bull Brother, we'll wait for you there…"
" Alright," Wang Daniu said passionately." How about this? To be on the safe side, you guys wait for me for two hours. Once the time is up, you guys don't have to wait for me anymore!"”
When Wu Tianlang heard Wang Daniu's words, he felt a little sad.
Yes, they were now in a dangerous situation.
Although they had already agreed on a meeting place and time, the situation was complicated and could change at any time!
Wu Tianlang looked at the heroic Wang Daniu. He really didn't expect this brother to be so loyal!
Wu Tianlang exchanged glances with Yang Yuhuan and said,""Big Brother Bull, to tell you the truth, the Imperial Concubine is going to Shu Prefecture. If you can't find us in the Guandi Temple, then you should find a way to find us in Shu Prefecture!”
Wang Daniu nodded in agreement.
Thus, even though everyone was reluctant to part, they still parted ways here!
After parting here, he didn't know when they would meet again. It might be in a different place, or it might be separated by yin and yang…
