Along the way, Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao walked in silence, their group had already walked this road, walking twice a day and coming back once, and no one would talk along the way. Zhao Rong was not in the mood to say something to the people behind him.

Xiao Tao is also very accustomed to this atmosphere, after all, he has been following Zhao Rong and has been walking this road for many years. Just some time ago. The two deliberately showed that they had fallen out, he didn't follow the young master to serve by the way, and now he finally returned to his original position, Xiao Tao felt that his mood was much better.

If it weren't for the fact that he knew that his young master was still worried, how could he sneak out of the study on the day of the banquet, and then run from the side door to the small garden, and meet the two palace young masters there, Xiao Tao would almost hum a song. For such a position and such a road, he is so familiar that he can walk through it with his eyes closed.

The day was very peaceful, and Zhao Rong was as usual in the study. Reading a book alone. The old gentleman was obsessed with the work of repairing ancient books, and he didn't care about him at all, and as Zhao Rong observed, the old gentleman did not come to the study until almost noon in the morning, and it was obvious that the old gentleman had just gotten up and had a full meal.

And after sitting at the desk, the old gentleman never moved again, he was always looking at some books, and then writing, painting and studying, until Zhao Rong left the study, the old gentleman was not in a hurry, and went to eat his dinner.

It's just obvious that this time the old gentleman attaches great importance to this estimate, so the only change in the study today is that there is a small case next to the old gentleman's desk, and there are a few plates of snacks on it. Although Zhao Rong didn't see the old gentleman eating dim sum, after he went to eat at noon, when he came back, he found that the plates of dim sum had been touched, and some dim sum was missing one or two pieces.

It seems that this time the old gentleman made an exception, he originally stipulated that he was not allowed to eat or drink in the study. This ancient book seemed so important that the old gentleman made an exception and asked the servant to prepare some food, so as to ensure that he stayed in the study long enough to devote himself to his work.

And Zhao Rong deliberately looked at the progress of the old gentleman this day, as if the old gentleman had only repaired one of the pages after the whole day. And this book seems to have a lot of pages, and I think this time the old gentleman is looking for a difficult and large-scale project for himself.

This disguised made Zhao Rong feel a lot more relieved, it seems that in the past few days, even a few months, this old gentleman has to concentrate on repairing this ancient book, so he can get it, and his attention is pitiful.

Perhaps, as I originally thought, when I got to the study, it shouldn't be very difficult to find an opportunity to sneak out again. Although he didn't know the bottom in his heart, Zhao Rong had already decided to use this method to try, in fact, he couldn't think of a better way.

Now Zhao Rong feels that he had thought about things too simply. At that time, he thought that he must meet the two palace brothers, but in fact, there are various factors that affect each other, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight.

At that time, he only thought of taking advantage of the fourth elder's seventieth birthday to find an opportunity, and he did let himself think of a way to let the two palace brothers enter the Zhao family, and after that, he devoted himself to the matter of invitations. After he and Xiao Tao got the invitation, Zhao Rong felt that he had completed his plan, and felt that the meeting was completely solved, but there were still so many problems in the follow-up.

Even if he didn't have the worry of the blank invitation, he never thought about it, and he had to think about the place and time of the meeting, as well as the route he took in the past, which Zhao Rong had not considered at all before. Now that I think about it, I was really dizzy at that time, how could I think that this thing is easy to do, and I secretly made up my mind in my heart that I must do it.

Now seeing things develop step by step, until the last step, Zhao Rong said in his heart that he was not nervous, it was impossible. But his mentality at this time can be regarded as very well controlled.

The most important thing is that Zhao Rong is no longer as eager for quick success as he was at the beginning, and he wants to do one thing with all his heart. At this time, he had calmed down and knew what was the most beneficial and useful thing for himself, and it was not advisable to act rashly.

Now Zhao Rong knows very well in his heart what he wants, what he wants is freedom, and not only his own freedom, but also Xiao Tao's freedom. This is also the reason why he is anxious to see the two palace brothers, he wants to tell the two palace brothers what he thinks in his heart, tell them his purpose and where the bottom line is.

Maybe this is the ultimate goal of those two palace brothers, insisting on meeting each other in person. Thinking about it now, the letter he once wrote to the two palace brothers, Zhao Rong felt that his thoughts had changed somewhat. At that time, he only thought about leaving the Zhao family, and he didn't care about anything, as long as he could leave the Zhao family, but now he didn't think like that.

If Xiao Tao can't leave the Zhao family with him, then Zhao Rong would prefer to stay in the Zhao family with Xiao Tao. In any case, there is hope for life when the two of them help each other together. If he is asked to give up Xiao Tao and choose freedom alone, then Zhao Rong feels that he will not settle down in this life, he does not want his freedom to be based on the sacrifice of others, not to mention that this person is still Xiao Tao, a good friend who has been with him for more than ten years.

In Zhao Rong's heart, Xiao Tao is indeed his good friend, not just a relationship between a subordinate and a servant, he thinks that the relationship between him and Xiao Tao is sincere, and he is willing to make sacrifices for Xiao Tao. If in the end, the two palace brothers tried their best, but still couldn't let Xiao Tao escape from the Zhao family, a place where people eat, then he would accompany Xiao Tao and the two of them to face difficulties and face the possible darkness of the future together.

Thinking of what would happen two days later, Zhao Rong could only secretly cheer himself up in his heart, he would definitely be able to do it. After all, although there were some flaws in the previous things, they did their best to do their best.

And the heavens are also on their side, otherwise how could it be so coincidental, when they wanted to find an opportunity to meet with the two palace elder brothers, the Zhao family also wanted to hold the seventieth birthday of the four elders.
