The brocade guard got up and walked to the table next to him, poured a glass of water, and then handed it to Ye Ruliu inside through the iron railing.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shi Lang took out a small packet of sweat medicine from his coat pocket and quickly poured it into the wine glass of the brocade guard.

"Come, sir. My subordinates will toast you again. After returning to his seat, the brocade guard raised his glass and toasted Shi Lang again.

Shi Lang didn't say anything, raised his glass and shared a drink with the other party.

"My lord, I ...... How can I have some ...... Dizzy...... "After a while, the brocade guard covered his head with his hands and sat unsteadily.

"Oh no, I...... Also ......" Shi Lang also pretended to be staggering, and then fell to the ground.

"There's ...... in this wine," the brocade guard pointed to the wine glass, and lay on the ground with a swaying body.

Seeing that the other party had been overturned, Shi Lang quickly stood up, retrieved the key from the brocade guard, and opened the prison door.

"Brother Shi Lang!" Ye Ruliu had already further narrowed the distance between her and Shi Lang emotionally at this time, and she held Shi Lang's hand tightly.

"It's inconvenient to stay here for a long time, you quickly put on the brocade clothes I prepared for you, and if you meet a guard after you go out, don't speak, and go straight to your path. Under normal circumstances, the guards here would not dare to interrogate Jinyi Guards casually. Shi Lang said, taking out a pre-prepared brocade clothes from the table drawer and handing it to Ye Ruliu.

"Okay." Ye Ruliu took the costume and quickly put it on herself.

"It fits well." Shi Lang arranged the collar of Ye Ruliu's shirt.

"Brother Shi Lang, what will you do after I leave?"

"Don't worry. I have my own solution. Remember, tomorrow evening, we will meet at the Purple Moon Pavilion in the back mountain outside the city. ”

"Hmm."

"Good. Let's go. ”

"Take care, Brother Shi Lang."

Seeing that Ye Ruliu had safely walked out of the cell gate, Shi Lang returned to the brocade guard and lay down on the ground.

After successfully escaping from prison, Ye Ruliu went to an inn run by the Salt Gang outside Hangzhou to take refuge.

In the evening of the next day, the Purple Moon Pavilion in the back mountain outside Hangzhou.

Ye Ruliu came to the agreed place early according to the agreement between her and Shi Lang.

It can be seen that Ye Ruliu, who was standing in the Purple Moon Pavilion looking forward to Shi Lang's arrival, had been carefully dressed. I saw that she was wearing a light green placket skirt, with a pink bandeau on the placket, and a well-combed bun hairstyle that set off a pretty face even more beautifully.

As soon as the sun set, Shi Lang appeared on the path under the Purple Moon Pavilion on a red horse.

Looking at Shi Lang, who was walking towards the Purple Moon Pavilion with vigorous steps, Ye Ruliu suddenly felt like a deer crashing into her chest, and her heartbeat, which had always been psychologically strong, began to accelerate at this time. Seeing Shi Lang getting closer and closer, she couldn't help but look at her cloud sideburns.

"Brother Shi Lang, you're here." As soon as Shi Lang stepped into the pavilion, Ye Ruliu greeted him.

"How? Last night went well, right? Shi Lang's eyes lit up when he saw the well-dressed Ye Ruliu, and he motioned for Ye Ruliu to sit on the stone bench in the pavilion.

"It went well. Thank you! Brother Shi Lang. Ye Ruliu sat on the stone bench.

"Where did you spend last night?" Shi Lang sat down next to Ye Ruliu.

"After leaving the city, I went to an inn not far from here, which was opened by our disciples of the Salt Gang."

"You're okay, I'm relieved."

"Thanks to Brother Shi Lang's rescue."

"Don't be so polite with me."

"That's not going to work. I will always remember your life-saving grace. ”

"That'...... How do you want to repay me? ”

"I haven't thought about it yet." Ye Ruliu understood the meaning of Shi Lang's words, and deliberately smiled mischievously.

"You look very beautiful today."

"Really? Wasn't I pretty before? Ye Ruliu regained her playful nature and chased after Shi Lang and asked.

"Look at my stupid mouth. I mean, you're prettier today. ”

"Well, that's pretty much it."

"When we first met, I hid my true identity, and I hope you don't feel embarrassed."

"No, it won't. Brother Shi Lang. I understand you. ”

"Then why didn't you tell me your name then?"

"This ...... How so? Let's put it this way, after the battle to rescue the Guyue people, I feel that you are very mysterious. So, out of a woman's instinctive self-preservation, I thought about it again and again, but I still didn't dare to tell you my name. You won't be surprised, will you? ”

"How can you not be strange, you don't know that people feel extremely lost and painful because of this."

"Now that you know, how do you feel?"

"That day, when I found out that you were the culprit of the imperial court, I felt an indescribable pain in my heart. After bringing you to justice, I did not return to Hangzhou with the army, but went home to visit my mother. At home, I heard about you from my mother and got a comprehensive understanding of you. At that time, my mother already knew about your arrest, and she criticized me harshly. I regret it so much that I caught you. The moment I rushed from home to Hangzhou, I secretly resolved that I must rescue you. ”

"Aunt Shi is a kind old man. The two of us can talk to each other very well. ”

"Yes, my mother is a well-informed person."

"I really hope to see her old man again and have a good chat with her."

"There's going to be a chance."

"That'...... Did you save me because I was the leader of the Salt Gang against the Japanese or because I ...... Is it Ye Ruliu? ”

"It's both. However, I think the latter factor is more important. One night in Bailu Mountain, this person has been firmly imprinted in my heart. ”

Hearing Shi Lang's answer, Ye Ruliu's heart swelled with a sense of happiness, and she couldn't help but stretch out her hands to hug Shi Lang's arm and lean her head on Shi Lang's shoulder.

Shi Lang affectionately hugged Ye Ruliu and took her into his arms.

A cool night breeze blew, stirring the leaves of the acacia tree outside the pavilion. A refreshing scent of flowers wafted from the acacia tree, enveloping two young men and women who were immersed in love in a floral fragrance.

"Brother Shi Lang, I believe in fate now. The words of the patriarch of the ancient Yue tribe still linger in my ears today. ”

"I believe it too. Otherwise, how could it be that I, Shi Lang, met a beautiful girl on such a remote mountain road, and not someone else? This is just like what the old patriarch said, there is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, but it is difficult to meet without a fate. ”

"At that time, I thought that the old patriarch said that in order to match the two of us, but I didn't expect it to come true."

"In the future, if we have the opportunity, we will visit the old patriarch again and thank the old man in person.

"Hmm."

The moon has risen. The Purple Moon Pavilion was surrounded by a faint moonlight. Not far away, the city of Hangzhou is brightly lit. The Leifeng Pagoda on the shore of West Lake stands high on the top of the mountain in the distance. From the direction of Nanping Mountain Jingci Temple, the melodious bell of Qingyue was clearly heard.

"This is my third time here from Beijing on an errand. Somehow, only this time did I really feel the beauty of Hangzhou. I'm nostalgic for this place. ”

"Yes, the spring dawn of the Su Causeway, the wind and lotus in Quyuan, the autumn moon in Pinghu, the remnant snow on the broken bridge, the warbler in the willow waves, the fish watching in the flower port, the sunset of Leifeng, the clouds of the twin peaks, the evening bell of Nanping, and the moon in the three pools, which of the ten beautiful scenery of the West Lake, will make people forget to return."

"One day in the future, I will settle my home on the edge of this West Lake, and stay with my beloved all day long in this beautiful scenery." While Shi Lang said this, he hugged Ye Ruliu tightly.

Ye Ruliu leaned her head on Shi Lang's chest, carefully feeling Shi Lang's powerful heartbeat.

The two stopped talking, hugged each other, quietly felt the beautiful scenery, and carefully appreciated the love and warmth from each other.

After a long time, Shi Lang seemed to suddenly remember something, and he said to Ye Ruliu: "The entire Hangzhou City is searching for you everywhere, you can't go back to Hangzhou, it's best to find a place to hide first." ”

"Will the officers and soldiers go to attack my salt gang's base in Luzhou next?"

"Very likely."

"No, I must rush back to Luzhou immediately so that my brothers can prepare early." Ye Ruliu stood up from Shi Lang's arms, and her face showed an anxious look.

"Under the pavilion, I have prepared a horse and some money and food for you. Let's go down now. ”

After the two finished speaking, they immediately got up and walked under the pavilion.

When it came to Ye Ruliu's private release, Shi Lang thought he was doing it seamlessly. Unexpectedly, the entire process of his private meeting with Ye Ruliu Houshan was secretly observed by one person hiding in the dark. This person was none other than the fat jailer who wanted to violate Ye Ruliu but was kicked away by Shi Lang.

Early this morning, when everyone found out that Ye Ruliu, a key criminal from the imperial court, and began to search for it, the fat jailer remembered the scene when Shi Lang rescued Ye Ruliu last night, and suddenly felt that Shi Lang was very suspicious. So, he began to secretly follow Shi Lang. Shi Lang rode his horse and rushed to the back mountain to meet Ye Ruliu privately. The fat jailer also quietly followed, and he hid behind the mountain stone next to the Purple Moon Pavilion and watched the whole process of Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu's date completely.

The fat jailer saw Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu walking under the pavilion, and he hurriedly sneaked down the back mountain and ran towards the city of Hangzhou.

It was the fat jailer's denunciation that put Shi Lang in prison.

Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu came to the jujube red horse that was tied to the tree.

"Hurry up and get on the horse and rush back to Luzhou." Shi Lang untied the horse's reins and handed it to Ye Ruliu.

"Yes...... I ...... this skirt" Ye Ruliu glanced at the placket skirt she was wearing, and her face was embarrassed.

"Look how I forgot about it. Come, get on the horse, and I'll take you back to the inn to change your clothes. Shi Lang said, and a princess hugged Ye Ruliu on the horse's back. Then he flew on the horse, he held Ye Ruliu in one hand and the reins in the other, and ran towards the Salt Gang Inn guided by Ye Ruliu.

In a forest not far from the inn, Shi Lang dismounted, then picked Ye Ruliu off his horse, and said, "I'll wait here, change my clothes, and rush back immediately." ”

"Hmm. Brother Shi Lang. Ye Ruliu replied and strode towards the inn.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Ye Ruliu returned to the woods wearing a black windbreaker.

"Protect yourself!" Shi Lang hugged Ye Ruliu into his arms and said affectionately.

"Brother Shi Lang, I don't know when we will see each other today." Ye Ruliu's voice choked.

"When we get through this time, we'll find a way to meet again. Remember, no matter what happens, taking care of yourself is the most important thing. Shi Lang gently stroked Ye Ruliu's back, a little reluctant.

"Brother Shi Lang, you have to take care of yourself. I hope it doesn't bother you. ”

"No, it won't. Don't worry about me. Alright, let's get on the horse. Shi Lang gently pushed Ye Ruliu away from his arms.

Ye Ruliu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, took the reins of the horse handed over by Shi Lang, and flew on the horse.

Shi Lang slapped the horse's ass hard.

Ye Ruliu rode his horse and galloped.

Shi Lang stood in place, watching his beloved go away.

The jujube red horse ran out about fifty meters, and Ye Ruliu, who was on the horse, suddenly turned the horse's head and shouted to Shi Lang behind him: "Brother Shi Lang, I, Ye Ruliu, am destined to be your woman forever in this life!" ”

"Remember, protect yourself!" Shi Lang waved his hand at Ye Ruliu.

The jujube red horse galloped with its hooves raised and disappeared from Shi Lang's sight.
