Chapter 102: Escape from the Palace
After a while, the two came to the Qing Commercial Office, and Li Ji clasped his fists and said: "Great Monk Zhikong, you just wait outside, and I will come when I go." ”
"Little hero, the palace is heavily guarded, be careful, I'm guarding outside, if there is anything abnormal, you can call at any time!"
"It's hard work!"
The Qing Commercial Office is usually inaccessible, and Yu Nizi's elegant room is even more secluded and lonely at this time, Li Ji tiptoed to the courtyard, knocked on the window door, and whispered: "Sister, are you sleeping?"
"Who?"
Suddenly, the lights came on, and a crisp voice came from inside.
Li Ji said: "It's me, Li Ji!"
"Third brother?"
Saying that, Yu Nizi quietly closed the door to a small gap, Li Ji walked in sideways, and said, "Sister, will you escape from the palace with me?"
Yu Nizi was slightly stunned: "At this time, the palace gate is closed, how to get out?"
I saw a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, revealing a bit of mystery: "Hehe, with the secret assistance of a master, you can go out of the city tonight!"
Yu Nizi flashed a look of suspicion and said, "Is this person reliable?"
Li Ji thought that the great monk Zhikong was strong in martial arts, and he would definitely be able to take them to easily jump over the palace wall and avoid the Praetorian Guard, so he replied affirmatively: "Reliable!"
Yu Nizi didn't speak, and the elegant room suddenly quieted down, and after half a sound, she had a faint smile on her face, but her heart was not as relaxed and comfortable as just now, but as if there was an extra stone, which made her breathing a little disordered.
She took a deep breath, regained her composure, and said, "Then I'll rest assured, you have to be more careful when you go! My sister won't go out of the palace with you, so let's stay in the palace!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, Li Ji couldn't believe his ears, and said hurriedly: "What? Why does my sister want to stay in the palace?"
Yu Nizi's eyes revealed a hint of resentment, his teeth opened lightly, and he said slowly: "The third brother doesn't know, if I escape from the palace rashly, my father will definitely be killed by Wang Jingze's dog thief." So I had no way to escape but to stay in the palace!
I have been sold since I was a child, and my life is not as good as a handful of loess, and then I was wandered in Fireworks Alley, reduced to a dusty woman, difficult and bumpy, ill-fated, like a leaf of duckweed, adrift, like a doll in the hands of others, it is rare to be the master for myself once in my life.
Later, he learned to be a vassal and elegant, and to climb the power and nobles, just to end his flashy and empty years and live a peaceful life. Since ancient times, the red face is thin, the fireworks and dust woman is the thinest, the world is so big, there is no place for me to stand, it is better to spend the rest of my life here, but it is cleaner, the palace may be my best home. ”
Li Ji was a little self-defeating when he heard what Yu Nizi said, so he comforted him with a warm face: "But as soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and my sister has no relatives and no reason here, and she is alone, and it is difficult to stand on her own. ”
"Third brother, my sister has decided to stay, don't persuade me anymore. However, you are young and promising, loyal and benevolent, and your future is limitless, so you should not live in such a small place, you should go outside more, increase some knowledge, ride the long wind and waves, and do a great cause. "
Li Ji saw that Yu Nizi was resolute and difficult to move, so he said with a lost expression: "Since my sister is unwilling to leave the palace, I have nothing to say, so I will leave." ”
"Wait......"
Li Ji thought that she had changed her mind, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Has my sister figured it out and is willing to go out of the palace with me?"
"No, I begged you during the day, and I must inform my father, so as not to be framed by Wang Jingze's dog thief and annoy the third brother!"
"I will never forget what my sister told me, and if my sister's father is my father, it is only right for me to take care of my father, and I will definitely find a way to bring him to you again. ”
"Thank you sister here!" Yu Nizi knelt down as she spoke, choking up, "Since then, I am afraid it will be difficult to meet again, even if we say goodbye, it is a matter of things, I hope the third brother will take care of yourself, remember that there is a hard-working sister in the palace!"
"Sister, what is this doing?" Li Ji saw Yu Nizi kneeling on the ground, his expression changed greatly, and he quickly reached out to help her up, "The third brother has no longevity now, and he has no power or power, so he can only be slaughtered by others, his life is as humble as an ant, insignificant, and after death, he is just a pile of nameless white bones." Thanks to my sister's auspicious words, if he can succeed in learning and becoming famous one day, he will definitely make a comeback and welcome his sister out of the palace in a bright light!"
"The third brother has this thought, and my sister will be satisfied, then I will wait in the palace, hoping that one day you can take me out of the palace!"
"Sister's words, Li Ji will never forget!"
After speaking, the eyes of the two flashed with a trace of reluctance and helplessness from time to time, so they said goodbye.
Li Ji walked out of the door of the Qing Commercial Office in a daze, only to see the great monk Zhikong suddenly appear behind him and ask, "You didn't bring anyone out?"
"It's hard to say, it's inconvenient for her to leave the palace for the time being, one day, I'll pick her up again!"
Zhikong scratched his head, not understanding what was happening, seeing that his face was sad and lonely, it was inconvenient to ask more, so he said: "It's not early, then let's go!"
Li Ji looked at the extremely high palace wall in the distance and said, "How do you get out?" Is it flying up the palace wall with light power or stealth or something?"
"Little hero, you are too exalted to me, my skills are not so high! Look at that!"
I saw a carriage parked in front of me, emitting a strong smell, which turned out to be a carriage specially responsible for pouring night incense in the palace.
Seeing this, Li Ji was slightly stunned and said, "Great monk, what does this mean?"
Zhikong scratched his head and said with a smile: "We will rely on this car to get out of the palace tonight." ”
"What, the Incense Carriage? You mean we hide inside and get out?"
Zhikong clapped his hands and praised: "The little hero is really smart, he can get through at one point!"
Li Ji staggered and almost fainted, this dung bucket was so smelly that he couldn't stand it before he got close, not to mention that he had to soak it for a long time?
Zhikong smirked and said, "Before I came, I walked around the palace and saw that all around the high wall were guarded by the Praetorian Guards. The four palace gates are lined with guards and are heavily guarded. I kept General Xiao's words in mind, did not dare to be reckless, waited until it was dark, and waited for the opportunity to act. Later, I found out that this inverted night incense car was not only hidden, but also safe, and it could definitely send us out of the palace. Little hero, this ...... It's the best I can think of, I wonder if it's possible?"
Li Ji looked at the palace in the distance and there seemed to be countless swords and sword shadows of the Praetorian Guards shaking, he couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp, shook his head and couldn't cry or laugh, and secretly said: "Hey, this great monk is not stupid, he actually thought of such a strange idea! The method is indeed a good way, but this one drills in, I am afraid that it will not be washed away for three days and three nights." It's good that my sister didn't leave the palace with me, otherwise with a peerless beauty like her, who is as beautiful and elegant as her, she would rather die than leave the palace!"
So, the two of them secretly got into the dung bucket when there was no one around, covered the bucket lid, and after a while, a subordinate who was responsible for transporting the night incense came over, drove the carriage, and whipped it out of the palace.
Although there were a few inspections in the middle, because it was a special car for the palace to pour night incense, it was usually familiar with the face, and the carriage was extremely smelly, so no one wanted to get close, so they covered their noses and let them go.
By the time the rooster crowed, it had reached the outside of the city, and the road was safe.
When the carriage arrived in a remote place, the two took the opportunity to jump off, Li Ji's face was already pale, he frowned, pinched his nose and said, "Great monk, hurry up and find a place to rinse off?"
"Of course!"
Saying that, he took Li Ji's hand and walked around the mountain, and after a while, I saw that at the foot of the mountain, a clear stream suddenly appeared, flowing slowly, the water was covered with colorful pebbles, and the fish swam happily, a harmonious and vivid scene.
The two of them were overjoyed when they saw this, and plunged headlong into the stream.
After washing for a long time, Zhikong caught two big fish in the stream and climbed to the shore to make a pile of firewood to dry clothes and grill fish, and his movements were crisp and neat.
Li Ji sneered at Zhikong: "I said great monk, aren't you a monk?
"Amitabha! The little hero doesn't know, I took refuge in Buddhism in my early years, I should have stayed away from the mortal dust, and all the laws were empty, but I was disturbed by the dust and couldn't bear the suffering of the people, so I returned to the world angrily, went down the mountain to join the army, saved all the people in the world, ate wine and meat, opened the killing ring, participated in political affairs, everything is caused by karma!"
Li Ji admired Zhikong's benevolence and righteousness, but he didn't dare to agree with his bad idea of escaping from the palace, and saw that he was grilling fish, and said with a pun: "Great monk, your kung fu is really bad!"
Zhikong scratched his head, and said with a smile: "What the little hero said is very true, I am a monk, and my baked fish kung fu is indeed not very good. But the taste is okay, tender and delicious, come and taste it......"
As he spoke, he took a big bite and beckoned Li Ji to eat it together.
"Don't say it again, I'm ......" Li Ji saw him talking and eating, looking like he was gobbling up, his stomach suddenly turned upside down, and he hurriedly ran to the side and vomited wildly.
I felt that the smell of spitting out was the smell of the dung bucket, but one morning, I saw Zhikong eating it in a big gulp, and Li Ji didn't eat a mouthful of fish.
If this scene is seen by others, it must be thought that the monk and the little flower child who fled down the mountain in the temple behave misbehaps, and it is forbidden to eat meat and fishy things.
After a while, Zhikong ate all the two grilled fish, sucked his fingers after eating, and said, "By the way, little hero, what are your plans in the future?"
Li Ji glanced at the green mountains in the distance, and said slowly: "After leaving for many days, I should have returned to Shimen to resume my life, so as not to worry about Master and others, but I was entrusted by someone to go to Yangxian City to do something first!"
Zhikong stood up and put on his dried clothes, and said, "The general has an order, tell me to protect you all the way, and I will follow you wherever you say?"
Li Ji said with a look of surprise on his face: "You follow me?"
Zhikong clasped his palms together and said, "Exactly!"
Seeing that he was so respectful, Li Ji hurriedly returned the salute, and thought about it: "The great monk has excellent martial arts, his strength is as great as an ox, and he is practicing kung fu horizontally, which is enough to look down on the world, and it is indeed good to walk together, not to mention that he can also grill a good fish!"
So he hugged his fist towards Zhikong and said, "Then let's march towards Yangxian City!"
