Chapter 6: Escape

Dozens of miles northwest of Dali City, leaning on Diancang Mountain, lying quietly in a bend of the lake.

Erhai Lake.

Duan Zhong looked at the blue waves of the lake in front of him, thinking that he had also come to the beautiful Erhai Lake when he traveled to Yunnan in his previous life, and thought of the sentence that the beautiful tour guide's sister said, "The water and light are open to the mirror, and the mountains are surrounded by green screens at all times", but it is the most appropriate. Whether it is in the past life or in this life, the beauty of this Erhai Lake has not changed in the slightest.

Inadvertently, the poem of the tour guide's sister was read out. However, this casual move attracted the extremely surprised eyes of others.

Su Er read the poem "The water and light open the mirror of the sky, and the mountains are surrounded by green screens at all times" in her mouth again, and asked: "Little master, did you make this poem?" ”

If someone else comes to ask Duan Chong, Duan Chong will naturally not respond, because Duan Chong has always felt shameful about plagiarism. Besides, you can't blatantly plagiarize in this world, because there is someone somewhere who is from the same world as you, and ...... I've always wanted to kill myself. Duan Zhong would not be stupid enough to expose himself so easily.

However, it was Su Su who asked, and Duan Zhong categorically couldn't say that this poem was copied, so he choked up and nodded slightly, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Su Er smiled happily: "This past migrants have written a lot of poems praising Erhai Lake, but in my opinion, they are not as well-written and freehand as our little master. ”

Sweat flowed down Duan Chong's forehead: "Naturally, Mr. Dong taught him well." ”

However, the zongzi on the side shook his head and said, "Mr. Dong didn't teach us to compose poetry. Moreover, this poem is not good. ”

Su'er was a little surprised: "Why is it bad?" ”

"I don't understand."

......

Duan Zhong was holding a sword at the moment, standing in the water, looking at the water with his eyes intently, a shadow jumped under the water, Duan Zhong raised the sword in his hand without hesitation and stabbed it.

The Dali carp in the water was pierced by Duan Chong's sword, fluttered a few times, and then lost his strength. Duan Zhong happily raised the sword in his hand, turned back to Su'er who was looking anxiously on the shore and shouted, "Next!" As soon as he threw it, he threw the Dali carp with a weight of more than ten catties stuck in the sword onto the shore, causing an exclamation on the shore.

Duan Zhong looked at the zongzi next to him that had been poking around under the water, but had never been harvested, and smiled happily. Zongzi turned his head and said to Duan Zhong very seriously: "Boss, my sword is not as fast as a fish." But your sword is not faster than mine, and your fish are slower than mine? ”

Zongzi naturally didn't study physics, so he didn't know what refraction was, and Duan Chong naturally didn't bother to tell a seven-year-old child, although he was only ...... Seven years old.

Duan Zhong shook his head proudly: "You stand upstream, these fish swam to me before you caught them, you can't catch them and I can catch them, which means that I am better than you, and much more powerful." Duan Zhong has always felt very painful, because it is very troublesome to explain the cause and effect of the matter to a child...... And let the other party understand a truth from it: Duan Zhong ...... It's amazing.

Zongzi still shook his head: "No." It must have been the fish that had lost a lot of strength because they had dodged my sword. So when I get to you, it's slowing down......"

“...... Let's switch places. ”

"You've stabbed all the fish, so I can't stab them."

“......”

——————————————————————————————————————————

Duan Zhong naturally won't be disturbed by the zongzi. I finally got the permission of Emperor Lao Tzu, brought some guards and attendants, and came to this Erhai Beach to have a look, and I must have a good time.

Duan Zhong didn't care about the zongzi that was still stabbing the fish in the water, turned around and waved his hand to Su'er on the shore, and walked ashore. He wiped his feet with a rag thrown on the shore, put on his shoes, and said happily: "Su'er, I'll grill fish for you." ”

Then he turned to the few guards who followed, pointed to a dozen Dali carp that had been pierced by himself, and said, "You go and shave these fish for me, and the scales will be shaved clean for me." ”

Looking at a few guards who were carrying fish and leaving with bitter stomachs, Duan Zhong was extremely happy, isn't this free labor just to be fully utilized?

However, when Duan Zhong found out that he had forgotten to bring salt seasoning on this trip, the grill had already been set up, and several guards were smashing the flint and steel with great effort, and the fire flickered, and it was about to catch fire. Duan Zhong suddenly gave an order: "Go home." ”

Su'er was surprised: "Didn't you say you wanted to grill the fish, why didn't you grill it?" ”

"My father said that I would return to the palace earlier. It's getting late, so we have to hurry up, so as not to worry my father. This is the most high-sounding reason that Duan Zhong throws.

————————————————————————————————————————

Duan Zhong looked at the table full of carp feast, swallowed his saliva, and thought to himself that the chef in the palace was still powerful. Compared with the chefs in the previous life, the cooking skills are not bad at all. In the future, this kind of drudgery of cooking should be left to the professionals.

Duan Chong's old lady nodded, and the food on the table was naturally ready to move. Because Su'er is close to Duan Chong, she is allowed to eat together, and the zongzi is Duan Chong's companion, and eating and drinking Lazar are all together, so it is naturally not a problem. So there are four people eating at this table: Concubine Xuan, Duan Chong, Su'er, and Zongzi.

Concubine Xuan is the princess of Liang Kingdom, so she naturally has to pay a lot more attention to eating, at least she can't speak. Naturally, Duan Zhong would not touch his mother's brows, and quietly ate and drank soup.

Su Er carefully skimmed off the head of the Dali carp in the delicate porcelain bowl, and used chopsticks to send the fish head to Duan Zhong's bowl.

Duan Zhong likes to eat fish heads, which is something that everyone in the palace knows. It's a weird fetish, but it feels natural. The way to eat the fish head is very simple, that is, to face so many emptiness, suck, instigate, and the whole essence is all in the mouth. It's just that the appearance is very indecent, and I don't know how many times the old man who has been influenced by the orthodox etiquette of his own big country has been scolded.

But Duan Chong never thought of breaking such a habit, because this is what his mother told him when Duan Chong was still young in his previous life: "Eating fish heads will make you smarter." ”

In Duan Zhongzhong, although he died very early in his previous life, when he was alive, he would still save money from his meager salary from time to time to make fish head soup for Duan Chong, but the old lady who was much closer to his own princess of Liang Guo in this life was also much closer.

Duan Zhong used chopsticks to hold the fish head and sent it to his mouth, just about to put it in his mouth. But the chopsticks in his hand slipped, and the entire fish head slid straight down from the air, and smashed the bowl on the table by the way, the soup splashed, Duan Zhong jumped up in a hurry and wiped it on his body.

The whole restaurant suddenly burst into an uproar. Zongzi was a little puzzled on the side: his boss is also a martial arts master, how could he make such a low-level mistake? Could it be ...... Acting?

After Duan Zhong tossed like this, everyone naturally had no appetite to eat this meal, and several people ate a few bites hastily. And a servant on the side had already led our second prince to change his clothes.

But when Duan Zhong left, no one noticed that our second prince quietly threw the silver in his hand into the vase on the side......

————————————————————————————————————————————————

The moon quietly rose and shone on a pine tree in the Chongyang Palace. In the faint moonlight, the shadow of the pine tree appeared a little light and sparse.

The candlelight in the Chongyang Palace was a little dim, and there were two shadows walking back and forth inside, as if they were doing something extremely important.

Zongzi couldn't understand why he had to leave when he lived here well. Watching Duan Zhong put the last piece of clothing into the package, tie the knot on the outside, and carefully inspect it again. I don't know where to find a black night coat and quickly put it on, and throw another one to myself.

"Boss, why are you leaving?"

Duan Zhong sighed and shook his head a little helplessly: "Because some people don't like me to stay in the palace." Duan Zhong naturally wouldn't tell the zongzi the specific reason, and even if he said the zongzi, he didn't understand.

In the evening, when Duan Zhong was eating, he saw a touch of silver in the fish head. Duan Zhong knew what it was: mercury.

Who doesn't want to keep themselves in the palace? Duan Chongxiang broke his head, and he could only think of that person. And the murder of the prince, once the palace knows, this is a shocking thing. Duan Zhong likes to be quiet, so he hides this matter.

However, Duan Zhong was still a little afraid, because if he didn't take a look at it with his sharp eyes today, it wouldn't be a joke to eat this mercury...... The power of mercury poisoning, Duan Zhong still knows.

However, what really scared Duan Zhong was that it made people poison people. Our second prince loves to eat fish heads, which is something that everyone in the palace knows, and putting mercury in the fish brain is an extremely ingenious method. Because mercury is insoluble in water, there is no need to worry about melting when it is placed in soup. And if it is placed in the head of the fish, others will naturally not eat it, only our second prince will eat it, so he is not afraid of accidentally hurting others.

And once our little prince is poisoned, others can't think of doing anything in the dish. There were four people eating at this table, and the other three didn't have any problems eating, so Duan Zhong naturally wouldn't have problems eating.

Intimidated by the terrifying methods of this poisoner, Duan Zhong felt that he naturally couldn't stay in this palace. So Duan Zhong decided...... Running away from home.

Zongzi watched his boss pin the sword to his waist, sighed helplessly, put the night clothes thrown by the other party on his body, and picked up a few clothes and threw them into the package. As a shadow of Duan Zhong, he still has some self-consciousness.

"What about Sister Su'er?"

Duan Chong's body paused: "It's okay, I left a letter for her." ”

"What about the mother?"

"My wife is very healthy, I just went out for a while, and it's not that I won't come back."

"The emperor will send someone to find you."

"Naturally, I have a way to make them not find it."

Zongzi finally gave up persuasion, and looked at the iron tool with four claws and hemp rope attached to the end of Duan Chong's throwing over, and was a little confused: "What is this?" ”

Duan Zhong snorted: "Your boss is my invention, the flying claw, which is dedicated to climbing walls." ”

Seeing that the night was deep, Duan Chong glanced at the maids who were stunned by the incense, and confirmed that they were still sleeping deeply, and they would not wake up until tomorrow, so he blew out the candles and disappeared into the dark night with the zongzi.

With his familiarity with the palace, Zongzi, under the leadership of Duan Chong, who had already figured out the time of duty of the palace guards, used the magical "flying claw" to climb over the palace wall and disappear into the dark night.

Before leaving, Duan Zhong didn't forget to look back at the palace affectionately, and threw out a flying kiss: "Su'er, wait for me to come back!" ”
