I walked out of this courtyard and sneaked up trying to find the main entrance of this house. I'm not familiar with the terrain of this place, so I can only guess and look for it.

"Cloud girl, where are you going?" Coincidentally, I bumped into a guy while walking. I was afraid that he would recognize me, so I quickly covered my face with my sleeve.

"I, I'll go out and buy some rouge."

"Cloud girl, isn't it too hot, you are dizzy, the main gate of this Li Mansion is in the east, where are you going west?" The little guy kindly reminded.

"Ah, yes, look at me, I'm on the wrong path!" I panicked and hurriedly walked in the opposite direction.

"Something is wrong!" The little guy standing by the courtyard wall looked at the panicked clouds and muttered.

Song State Mansion

"Is there any news of Madame?" Liu Yu, the Duke of Song, asked his wolf tooth general Ding Yi.

"Lord Guogong, because you have instructed not to spread the news of Madame's disappearance, so our people can only secretly search for ...... this year"

"What did you find?" Liu Yu's eagle-like eyes locked Ding Yi's eyes.

"We have found the little girl who sold flowers at the market that day. After interrogation, she confessed that a flower farmer had given her the flowers, and promised to give her a sum of money as a reward if they were sold. This little girl has no idea about the hidden ** in the flowers. ”

"So, this clue is broken?"

"Not really."

"Tell me about it."

"Listening to the description of the little girl, listening to the accent of the flower farmer is like a Jiangzhou person." Ding Yi said.

"Jiangzhou people?"

"Jiangzhou Thorn History Liu Yi is our old man."

"Yes, Kokuko-sama. It's just ......" Ding Yi wanted to speak and stopped.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Back then, in Zhongnan Mountain, Guogong and Lord Liu Yi once shared weal and pain. But now that the times have changed, Lord Liu Yi has lived in Jiangzhou for a long time and holds military power. In today's situation, the world is competing for deer, and it is not possible to say that Lord Liu Yi may have different intentions. ”

"Check Liu Yi, and ......"

"Guogong, please command!"

"A letter of resignation, saying that the emperor has a decree to order Liu Yi, the assassin of Jiangzhou, to attack the thief Lu Wei, if it is successful, the court will have a heavy reward!"

"Your Excellency's move is intended to test Liu Yi?"

"First, it is a temptation, and second, Lu Wei is good at guerrilla warfare, and he has created a miasma in Hubei, so that it can not only contain Lu Wei, but also temporarily drag Liu Yi."

"Kill three birds with one stone, and kill three birds with one stone!" Ding Yi gave a thumbs up.

"The matter of Madame's disappearance must be secretly investigated, and you must not leak the slightest bit to ruin Madame's reputation, do you know?" Liu Yu commanded.

"Yes!"

Finally, I came to the main entrance of the mansion, where several guards were standing. I pretended to be casual and passed by them, trying to get out of the house.

"Stop!" One of the guards suddenly drew his long sword to block my way: "The prince has an order, and anyone who leaves the mansion will report their names and report what happened to the mansion." ”

"I, I'm going out of the house, going to procure, procure......" I stammered nervously and couldn't think of words for a moment.

"Yo! Isn't this the cloud girl next to Mrs. Zang? Didn't Madame order the girl to go out of the house to buy rouge? Why haven't you gone yet? This lady has always paid attention to appearance, if you come back late, be careful of punishment! "The little guy I met in the house just now happened to meet me here again.

"Yes, yes, yes! Look at my memory! ”

"Isn't this Steward Wu? I would also like to thank the steward for the good wine he had served to the brothers a few days ago. One of the guards said.

"Be polite, where are the brothers, when you come to our Li Mansion, we are a family, so polite is a foreign way!"

"If that's the case, girl, go and come back quickly!" The guard said to me.

"Okay!" I was very surprised to be able to leave the Li Mansion so smoothly, and hurriedly ran out happily.

Not long after I walked out, I vaguely felt someone following me. When I looked back, there was no one.

I pretended not to know that someone was following me and walked to a secluded alley, and when I entered the alley, I jumped on the wall with light skills. Sure enough, a man sneakily followed me into the alley.

I jumped off the wall and landed right behind him. He heard the movement, turned around, and saw me, almost unfrightened.

It was the butler Wu I met at the door just now.

"Seeing that you are not very old, I didn't expect you to be a housekeeper. Say, "What is your purpose in following me?" I asked, looking him up and down.

"I'm really right, you're not Miss Yunduo, but that Mrs. Zang!" He looked at me as well.

"So what? This has nothing to do with your Li Mansion. ”

"But there are few people in our house, if the king of Shu blames him, he wants to come ......"

"The housekeeper, are you trying to get me back? But you don't have to be my opponent. I pulled out the scimitar I had with me.

"Madame laughed, how dare a slave compete with Madame?"

"And what are you?"

"Madame left the King of Shu alone, and she didn't even bring a little silver with her, so how could she return to Shandong safely?"

"How do you know I'm going back to Shandong?"

"Don't hide it from Mrs., the slave was saved by General Liu Yu when he was a child, and he was fortunate to see his wife when he was in Shandong. Today, for the safety of Mrs., I dared to follow Mrs. ”

Is there such a clever thing in the world? I was suspicious, and this butler Wu took out a stack of silver tickets from his clothes and put them in my hand.

"Madam, it's a long way back to Shandong, let's hire a carriage with these silver taels, and it can be regarded as my repayment of the general's life-saving grace." What Steward Wu said was sincere.

"This, this can't work, how can I accept your silver ticket, never!" I excused myself.

"Madam, it is not easy for you to escape the pursuit of the King of Shu by yourself. In this small county, you can't find a character like you on the streets. If you walk around this downtown area, it must be difficult for the King of Shu to find you. Why don't you ...... like this?"

The idea given to me by this housekeeper Wu was to let me find a place to hide in the city for the time being, and then return to Shandong when the king of Shu could not find anyone to leave.

I thought to myself, I had fled in a hurry, penniless, and it would be difficult to return to Shandong like this. And what Steward Wu said also makes sense, this county is very small, and I am afraid that I will be found by the connoisseurs before I go out. Therefore, for the sake of today, it is most appropriate to find a place to live and hide it.

Thinking of this, I took off the jade bracelet on my arm and handed it to Steward Wu: "Trouble the butler to help with this jade bracelet, I can't accept your silver ticket." ”

"It's okay, by the way, madam, I have a friend who has an empty house, and Mrs. can just move in to solve her urgent needs."

"It's okay, then there is a labor housekeeper!"

"Madam, you're welcome, when I take the bracelet, I'll send the silver ticket."

"Thank you so much!" I said gratefully.
