At nightfall, there was no sound in the surroundings, and the whole city seemed to be asleep.

Only the two people on the floor did not sleep, and Zhu Gaoxu opened his eyes and did not feel sleepy. The darkness affects the vision, but it makes the other senses more sensitive and detailed. The sense of touch from head to toe and the smell in his nose made Zhu Gaoxu unable to restrain himself, constantly imagining everything about her.

At that moment, she moved her body slightly, groping her hand in reverse, but quickly retracted it. She apparently wasn't asleep either.

Zhu Gaoxu secretly took a few deep breaths, supported his body slightly, put his mouth to her ear, and suppressed his voice to the lowest: "I want to change clothes, the wooden basin you brought ......"

Xiao Ni turned around cautiously, and suddenly the fragrant breath also blew on Zhu Gaoxu's face, and she also put her soft lips to Zhu Gaoxu's ears: "There is water in it, don't make a sound." ”

In this cramped place, after the candles downstairs were extinguished, there was nothing to see. Like a blind man, Zhu Gaoxu touched carefully and slowly with his hands, and it took a lot of effort to finish the work.

During the day, a large number of people from the government suddenly began to arrest people, and all kinds of signs were obviously aimed at Zhu Gaoxu!

What went wrong, Zhu Gaoxu is still confused. He finally calmed down a little and carefully pondered what to do......

The narrow place upstairs of this incense and candle shop definitely can't stay for a long time, and it's easy to be exposed. Besides, once Xiao Ni is called back to the temple, there is no one to take care of him, and he will die of thirst!

Zhu Gaoxu hesitated whether to leave this place tonight, which seemed a bit risky...... The door of the pavement was made of wooden planks, and it was easy to make a movement with the planks, and there was another nun sleeping underneath, and it would be troublesome to wake her up. But it's not entirely impossible to think of a way.

What worries him the most is where to hide after leaving the shop? The mansion in the nearby alley also has a certain risk. The key is that he doesn't know who is exposed now, if Qingyuan is included, then Zhu Gaoxu will return to the mansion where he is hiding, and he will be sent to death!

After thinking about it, he planned to stay still tonight.

I didn't sleep all night, and when it was almost dawn in the second half of the night, Zhu Gaoxu was so sleepy that he took a nap intermittently.

When he woke up, he opened his eyes and found that the light was a little brighter.

His left arm, which was originally placed on his body, had fallen down at this time, and was on Xiao Ni's waist, so Zhu Gaoxu picked up his arm. At this time, Xiao Ni sat up without saying a word, and turned his head to look at Zhu Gaoxu. She then went downstairs.

As soon as Xiao Ni left, Zhu Gaoxu immediately lay down on his body and gently moved his numb hands and feet.

Below came the sound of wooden planks being fetched, and the sound of people talking. As long as there were two people on the shop during the day, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't move. He was very confused and worried, and felt that it would be difficult to get out this time!

After thinking about it for a while, there was no perfect solution at this time, and it seemed that the only way to take the risk was to take the risk. Zhu Gaoxu decided to survive the day, try to get out of this place at night, and then go back to the mansion where he was hiding first.

…… No food was delivered in the morning or at noon, and Zhu Gaoxu had only eaten half a steamed bun since yesterday morning, and he was so hungry that his belly was almost close to his back.

In the afternoon, he suddenly heard a voice, which seemed to be Monk Qingyuan! He immediately pricked up his ears to make sure he heard correctly?

The voice of the suspected Qingyuan monk said: "The poor monk has an inquiry, has the master ever seen a tall young male benefactor?" ”

Xiao Ni's voice said: "No, only incense candles are sold here." ”

Zhu Gaoxu immediately poked his head into the entrance, glanced down, and immediately retracted. Although with just one glance, he could clearly see that it was indeed Monk Qingyuan!

Qingyuan said: "His family said that Shitai lost a cat, and he returned it to Shitai, you have met." ”

"The poor nun doesn't know it, and forgets what it looks like." Little Nidau.

Zhu Gaoxu did not act rashly, one did not know what was going on below, and when the other nun would come back; Second, it is impossible to determine whether Qingyuan is only one person.

Qingyuan's voice said again: "If Mrs. Shi sees that person again, I will tell him that there is no one at home, so I will tell him to go home first." ”

Xiao Ni's voice said: "If we can meet again, poor Ni will definitely tell me." ”

Zhu Gaoxu immediately pondered...... Most of the time Du Qianrui told Zheng He, Wang Bin and others about sending the cat that day, and everyone couldn't find Zhu Gaoxu, and then went to Qingyuan to discuss; So Qingyuan knew about this place and came to test it.

After a while, someone climbed the ladder and came. Zhu Gaoxu waited calmly, and when he saw Xiao Ni's face, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Ni stood on the ladder and didn't come up, so he said, "What did you say, did the donor hear?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Xiao Ni said: "Senior sister is out, if you want to leave, take advantage of it now!" ”

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu immediately got up and walked over to the edge of the ladder. Little Ni went down the ladder first.

When he went downstairs, Xiao Ni grabbed a handful of incense and handed it over, and looked at him with bright eyes without speaking. Zhu Gaoxu understood, took the incense, and walked out.

As soon as he took two steps, Zhu Gaoxu felt an impulse in his heart, turned his head and said, "Are you still willing to stay in Jiming Temple and suffer that crime?" ”

Xiao Ni shook his head, and his big eyes suddenly showed a complicated expression of melancholy and expectation, which made Zhu Gaoxu feel uncomfortable for a while.

He didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he immediately said: "Take you away now, it is very likely that you will not be able to leave, and it will also affect you!" If you wait a little longer, I will come and pick you up as long as I am alive. ”

Xiao Ni raised his head and looked at him, and said softly: "Don't forget the kiss of the donor, don't lose your words." ”

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart after hearing this, and he asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Yao Ji." Little Ni replied in a low voice.

Zhu Gaoxu listened, stretched out his hand to lower his hat, and strode out.

The carriage that was parked nearby yesterday is now gone, and Zhu Gaoxu doesn't know who took it. With his head down, he walked down the alley in front of him.

The alley was still very clean, and Zhu Gaoxu walked all the way over, and he didn't even meet anyone. He walked to the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw that the door was unlocked, he opened it with his hand, and immediately walked in. I saw that Monk Qingyuan was standing at the door of a room alone, looking at this side with a happy face.

Zhu Gaoxu bolted the courtyard door, walked over and hugged his fists and said, "Master Qingyuan is okay?" ”

Qingyuan said: "There is nothing to do here with the poor monks. ”

"Okay, let's talk inside." Zhu Gaoxu strode towards the house, and then walked straight to the stove room to see if there were any leftovers.

Qingyuan followed and said, "The poor monk will go and buy some food for King Gaoyang later." He continued, "Yesterday, the city suddenly began to search for Zhong Gongzi, and the poor monks and others were very worried. According to Zheng He, King Gaoyang made an appointment to meet outside the city, but King Gaoyang did not arrive......"

Zhu Gaoxu interjected: "I can't get out at all!" Yesterday, I just realized that something was wrong, and when I walked through the treasure gate, I was already checking people at the city gate! I was almost caught several times in the city. ”

Qing Yuan let out a sigh: "Fortunately, King Gaoyang escaped the pursuit, otherwise it would be unimaginable!" Miss Du, who was under King Gaoyang, mentioned the matter of a young nun in Jiming Temple; There are almost no young nuns in the nunnery, and Wang Bin said that when he went out yesterday, he saw a good-looking nun on the street outside.

The poor monk was close to Jilong Mountain, and he really didn't know where King Gaoyang was, so he came over to ask tentatively, but he didn't want King Gaoyang to be nearby. ”

"I guess that's the case." Zhu Gaoxu nodded, "Fortunately, that little nun has a good heart, and the grace of dripping water will be reciprocated, otherwise it would have been blocked in Incense Candle Street yesterday." ”

He was scared when he thought about it, and almost escaped by luck! When King Yan said that he wanted to persuade Li Jinglong and others, Zhu Gaoxu knew that it was an errand with his head at all, and it was not surprising.

Now he is not only afraid, but also feels that it is still dangerous.

Zhu Gaoxu said with a sad face: "What should I do now?" It's extremely difficult to get out of the city, and I want to hide from the limelight here, but I can't stay here for long, and it is very likely that it will be found out...... There are a lot of clues, such as when I came back from Incense Candle Street just now, many people saw that I was a tall man; And the carriage is not clear what happened. I'm afraid that if I have a little horse's foot, I will be unlucky. ”

Monk Qingyuan nodded and said, "What King Gaoyang said is extremely true. At this time, there are only two roads, either to hide from the limelight, or to try to get out of the city. Both paths are treacherous and extremely difficult. ”

He paused, then muttered, "There is a chance these days. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Gaoxu immediately looked at Qingyuan.

Qingyuan said: "The queen's cousin has just died, and the monk of Xuanzang Temple was invited to go over, and the poor monk just knew about it." In two days, the coffin will be sent back to his hometown for burial, and then it will be out of the city. The coffin of the queen's family, the officers and soldiers guarding the city will definitely not dare to open the coffin and search it......"

"What does the master mean, I hid in a coffin and went out of the city?" Zhu Gaoxu was surprised.

Monk Qingyuan nodded, "The poor monk also said that it is very dangerous to go out of the city. ”

Zhu Gaoxu paced a few steps, and finally spoke, "What should I do?" Master Qingyuan, can you talk about it first? ”

Qingyuan whispered.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a while after hearing this, "It's really impossible to make any mistakes...... How can the body of the deceased be replaced, and the mansion will not be discovered? ”

Qingyuan muttered: "You have to think carefully. However, the body does not necessarily have to be carried out. The coffin was very pompous, large and thick, made of cypress wood, and very heavy. It would take at least eight people to get on the wagon, and a little heavier they don't necessarily know. ”

Zhu Gaoxu's face was uglier than crying, and he only felt that this matter could be said to be absurd, but there was really no other way. It took him two days to truly comprehend that the difficulty and danger of doing this in the Jingshi were far greater than charging in the battle formation!

"I'm so hungry, Master Qingyuan will go out first and buy me something to eat." Zhu Gaoxu said, "Let me think about it for a while." ”

Qing Yuan saluted with one hand and said, "The poor monk will go now." ”

Zhu Gaoxu sent him to the gate of the courtyard, closed the door, and paced back and forth in the courtyard, feeling very heavy.
