When they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, the Tangbao cavalry were still near the lake, and when they saw Lu Shikang coming down, they asked softly: "How is it, does the old man have a problem?" ”

Lu Shikang said: "Let's talk about leaving here." ”

Right now, the old man is on the mountain, if the Tangbao cavalry listens to his words and shows any expression, maybe the old man will see it.

"So what are we going to do now?" A Tang newspaper cavalryman asked.

"Take a walk around the lake and see the nearby stream." Lu Shikang said.

"Look at a nearby stream?" A Tangbao cavalryman asked suspiciously.

"Hmm."

The cavalry stopped talking, and he thought that since Lu Shikang had decided to take a walk along the lake and see the nearby streams, he must have his intentions.

After walking around the stream, it was already dark, so they stayed at the foot of the mountain for one night, and the next day they set off to the next place to inspect it.

.

The next day, Aoeda went to the pharmacy in the town again.

When she came out, she told the soldiers at the gate of the barracks that she had to go out because she wanted to treat nearby villagers.

The soldier guarding the door let her out without saying anything, after all, an old woman always came looking for her these days.

On this day, however, she did not see her father in the pharmacy from morning until the sun was set in the west.

She wondered if it was her father who hadn't convinced them to delay in town for a few days, or if there had been an accident because they had discovered her by talking to her on paper.

Anxious, she hurriedly took a few pairs of medicine for bruises, and hurriedly left the pharmacy.

After leaving the pharmacy, she thought that it was not appropriate for her to walk around town in her current clothes, after all, the two men had seen her, so she suddenly had a plan.

She decided to pretend to be a dirty thief. In this way, when she wanders around, she will not arouse the suspicion of the two young men who control her father.

But it was a problem to find such a tattered garment, and at the moment there was no beggar to be found. If you can find a beggar, you can borrow clothes to wear.

The beggars all went to beg far away from the troops because this was a place of war.

After thinking about it, she decided to go to the farmer's houses around the town. She decided to go to the homes of the poorest-looking people to see if she could find a tattered garment.

At last she found a dilapidated looking village house in the west of the town, she dismounted, tied the horse to a tree outside the courtyard wall, and then climbed over the wall into the courtyard, and found a white-washed man's clothes under the corridor outside the house.

When she found her clothes, she changed into her clothes in a small, empty room with the door open, put on the dirty clothes, touched her hand on the ground, wiped the mud from the ground on her face, and ran to the town.

Because riding a horse was no longer in keeping with her identity as a thief, she temporarily left her horse on the big tree where she had just climbed over the courtyard wall.

Once she had reached the town, she headed for the northwest corner of the town.

My father said that he lived in a house in the northwest corner of the town, and that if he had not had an accident and was still in the town, he would still be in the same house.

And in order to pretend to be a thief, she pretended to look sneakily in front of the courtyard every time she went to the door of the house, making a look to see if there was anything valuable left in the house.

While wandering blindly through the streets northwest of the town, she met three old men,

After looking at her with contempt, he said, "No one has anything of value now, so they have all taken it away" and staggered away.

Not only did they not make her feel uncomfortable, but they reassured her, because it showed that she was pretending to be a thief.

There is a main street in the northwest of the town, the main street is north-south, and the three alleys, all perpendicular to the main street, are east-west.

Whenever she went to a house, she looked through the crack in the door, and if she couldn't see anyone, she would lie down on the door and listen to the movement inside.

When she came to the northernmost alley, as she had done in the other alleys, she looked and listened from house to house, and when she came to the sixth gate of the alley, when she looked in, she saw no one because the crack in the door was too small, but she heard a voice.

It's footsteps.

The voice sounded like it was coming from the courtyard gate.

She was just about to leave, when the door suddenly opened, and a man in black appeared in front of the door.

She didn't dare to look up, for she vaguely felt that the one who opened the door must be one of the people who controlled her father.

Probably the black clothes on his body gave her that feeling.

"Who are you?" A voice sounded overhead.

"I ...... I'm not here to steal, really not! I swear! I have money on me, a lot of money! "She deliberately didn't have three hundred taels of silver here.

Then he ran away as he spoke.

"Stop!" The man in black shouted behind her.

"I'm really rich, I'm not a thief! Please let it go! She said as she ran.

The voice of another young man behind him rang out: "Who is that person?" ”

"Probably a thief." The voice that opened the door and saw her just now rang out.

"A real thief?"

"Probably, he was dressed in tatters, his face was dirty, and as a man, he was still thin and small. Who but a thief would be so dirty and malnourished? ”

"But you still can't be careless, don't let him come again."

"Well, we're going to step up patrols."

"Are you going to chase it now?"

"You're stupid, our identity, if you make a big fuss in the town, something will really happen."

"Oh, look at my brain. I've got to go find something nutritious for the little boy, and you're guarding here. ”

"Well, go ahead, I've got me here."

As the two spoke, one went to town, and the other returned to the courtyard and closed the door.

In a room on the east side of the courtyard, Yu Qishu was sitting and reading the medical book with Kong Zhongda.

He wrote a note to Kong Zhongda: "There was a thief outside the door just now. ”

Kong Zhongda took the note and wrote a sentence under his words: "It must be my daughter Qingzhi." ”

Yu Qiqi picked up the book and wrote underneath: "But, when can we go out?" ”

"You can't rush it, going out when it's okay will cause suspicion." Kong Zhongda wrote.

You can't prescribe medicine every day.

.

After Qingzhi ran away, seeing that no one was coming, they probably didn't dare to be too loud, after all, they were the hostile side of His Royal Highness the Prince.

She first went back to the village southwest of the town, went to the farmer's house where she had changed her clothes, changed her clothes, carried the dirty clothes in her hands, and rode back to the barracks.

Dirty laundry is still useful. She decided that she would wear it tomorrow to the house next door to her father's house that she had visited today.

It's called Exploring the Walls.

She wondered who her father had shown her asthma. The person who can make his father personally dispatch must be an important figure in the Zheng family.

And now she doesn't want to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this, so as not to startle the snake, and when the other party finds himself in danger, he can do anything.
