Chapter 16: Escape in the middle of the night
These two family members sent by Emperor Chen Yang are very good at observing their faces and feelings, and they are worried about Lu Ziyi's preferences. Whatever Lu Ziyi ordered, the speed of running errands was much faster than that of Octagon.
Within a few days, the errand of guarding the door of Lu Ziyi's room and serving him for food and living fell from the soup bowl to the two new family members. And obviously, Lu Ziyi's attitude towards these two newcomers is many times better than that of the soup bowl.
"Cut, it is said that the national teacher does not eat the fireworks of the world, and in my opinion, he is just an ordinary man." The soup bowl was cut, and he returned to the small house where he lived, and closed the door without a task.
And Lu Ziyi, who didn't send soup bowls a few times a day in the past, seemed to have forgotten her as a person, and he didn't even take her with him when he went out.
The soup bowl was a little awkward at the beginning, and then relieved. She wasn't supposed to live here forever, so why shouldn't she?
On this day, Tang Wan changed into the clothes she wore on the first day she came to the National Teacher's Mansion, put on her broken straw sandals, and walked out of her hut. She had inexplicably stayed in this National Teacher's Mansion for many days, and now was the time to leave.
The main entrance must not be able to get out, and if she touches that wooden face, she doesn't know what to say. Should she tell him that Lao Tzu is here for revenge, not here to be a slave?
Tang Wan imagined Lu Ziyi's expression when he heard her answer, it should be a cup of tea, right? I don't know why, the soup bowl is inexplicably a little afraid of Lu Ziyi, who knows what he thinks under his calm expression?
In the National Teacher's Mansion, he finally touched the soup bowl by the back door, looked at the imminent exit, and suddenly hesitated: If he just said goodbye without saying goodbye, would Lu Ziyi be furious when he found out? Anyway, they can be regarded as allies who have experienced several life-and-death situations.
Soon, though, she shook her head: what is she? It's just a little beggar with a hateful face, what qualifications do you have to be sad here? Seeing that the emperor Lao'er sent two new minions down, Lu Ziyi went to show off all day long, where would he remember that there was such a person as her?
Thinking of this, the soup bowl gritted his teeth, gently opened the back door, and then walked out slowly.
Lu Ziyi's National Teacher's Mansion is still a long way from the lively street, and he has always liked to be quiet rather than socializing, so there are no other mansions of court officials around. This made it very convenient for the soup bowl to run away, and she walked out of the back door of the National Teacher's Mansion effortlessly and blended into the vast night.
At first, the soup bowl was afraid that someone would catch up, just like the last time the star anise suddenly appeared, so she went to a remote and uninhabited place, and this time, she came to a huge lake.
The moonlight was not good tonight, and the lake only showed a shadowy silhouette in front of the soup bowl.
What is this place? The cool breeze around was gusting, and there was no one to go, and the soup bowl did not dare to walk around in this black light.
There are a lot of mosquitoes in the grass by the lake, and even if the soup bowl is wearing a long coat and trousers, it can always be found by those tricky mosquitoes. Unable to stand the abuse, the soup bowl decided to go back the way he came. No matter what, it's better than staying here and feeding mosquitoes!
When the soup bowl was about to walk back, she suddenly felt two strong winds blowing overhead, which frightened her into a short body and hid herself in the grass.
Could it be that Lu Ziyi had already discovered her escape without permission, and then sent Octagon to arrest her? The soup bowl nestled in the grass and thought in horror, even the mosquitoes that pounced on her one after another.
"Please rest assured, master, this incident ...... Lu Ziyi ...... "The soup bowl is separated by the grass, and I can only see two people standing less than five meters away from her, discussing something in a whisper. When hearing the words "Lu Ziyi", the two ears of the soup bowl involuntarily stood up: Lu Ziyi?
"It's good to know in your heart, this time you can only succeed, not fail!" What the hell were these two people discussing, the soup bowl was a little far apart, so they didn't hear it clearly, but the three words "Lu Ziyi" clearly fell into the ears of the soup bowl.
These two people seem to be plotting something related to Lu Ziyi! Tang Wan thought silently in his heart, and what could not be done to stay at home and discuss it instead of running away to this wilderness? The soup bowl's heart trembled: it definitely won't be a good thing! No, she has to hurry up and tell Lu Ziyi about that big piece of wood!
However, how could she explain to him that she had come to such a place in the middle of the night?
Now in the soup bowl, she doesn't remember a few hours ago, she is still glad that she finally doesn't have to be called by Lu Ziyi anymore, her mind is full of how to go back and report to Lu Ziyi?
The soup bowl is still thinking nonsense here, but the two people who are standing aside and plotting have already finished discussing. One of them walked briskly over to where the soup bowl was.
Could it be that he was hiding here and was discovered by them? The soup bowl was lying motionless on the ground with his head in his hands, and his heart was beating wildly.
"Nourish...... ......The soup bowl curled up on the ground and didn't move, and suddenly smelled a smell of urine. Several drops also fell on her head.
It turns out that this person came running over to pee! But the soup bowl is suffocated! The smell filled her nostrils, and she almost lost her breath.
Just when the soup bowl felt that he couldn't hold his breath anymore, the man had already finished his small release, lifted his pants, and then flew away from the place again.
Grandma's, can fly around, why don't you find a toilet to solve your personal problems? The soup bowl secretly despised it in his heart. However, she was lying face down now, and she couldn't see if the two had left.
So, she just kept her motionless posture until, accidentally, she fell asleep.
By the time she woke up again, the sun had already risen.
"It's broken, it's broken, why am I falling asleep?" The soup bowl jumped up from the grass with a head full of bags, and looked around, but there was no one except the empty lake.
Thinking of the words he heard last night, Tang Wan couldn't wait to return to the National Teacher's Mansion right now. However, after calming down, she felt that she was now so blatantly entering the National Teacher's Mansion, what if she aroused the suspicion of those who were hiding in the shadows, and then temporarily changed her plan?
And judging from the conversation between these two people last night, it is very likely that every move of the National Teacher's Mansion is under their monitoring, and if she goes back now, I am afraid that she will be destroyed if she can't even touch the threshold of the National Teacher's Mansion.
This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so how can she remind Lu Ziyi that someone is going to be unfavorable to him? The soup bowl was turned upside down, with his hands behind his back, and his pair of broken straw sandals were walking around the lake alone.
The Imperial Tomb Festival, by the way, the Imperial Tomb Festival! A light suddenly flashed in the soup bowl's mind, splitting the chaos in her mind.
The Imperial Tomb Festival is about to start, and Lu Ziyi and they should go to the Imperial Tomb in the next few days!
Having made up his mind, the soup bowl tightened his belt and straw sandals, and ran quickly to the lively place.
However, but, when he was about to run to the gate of the city, Tang Wan suddenly thought of a very serious question: said that the imperial tomb is the imperial tomb, but this imperial tomb, where is it?
It is impossible for her to run to meet people and ask this question so swaggeringly, this is too weird, what does a little beggar care about the imperial tomb so much? Maybe if she's not careful, she'll be arrested and put in prison as a dangerous person!
The soup bowl scratched her hair, which was a mess of grass, and her eyes suddenly swept to an old beggar who was squatting in the corner lazily basking in the sun, her brows furrowed, her face was happy, and she was careful.
She calmed down her anxious mood of burning ants in the pot, pinched a few big steamed buns and a few cakes that she had brought from the house when she fled last night, and walked in the direction of the old beggar.
"Little baby, I look at you very raw, where did you come from?" The old beggar put his hand into his clothes, caught a few little lice, and then "beeped and peeled" one by one, and then looked up at the soup bowl.
The soup bowl grinned, and squatted down next to the corner of the wall: "Uncle, I came from a foreign country, and I heard that there are many delicious officials in this cloud city, so I came over." ”
The old beggar put his hand into his clothes again, and then glanced at the soup bowl: "Gua Wazi, where is this Cloud City as good as you say?" If you're not careful, maybe you won't be able to keep your little brain. ”
"Uncle, where is there such a scary thing you said in this Cloud City? You see, I just got two big white steamed buns. Uncle, give! As he spoke, he took out a big steamed bun from his bosom and handed it to the old beggar.
"Say that you are really a melon baby, do you think it is good to get a few steamed buns as soon as you come?" Although the old beggar said this, his hands honestly and unceremoniously took the steamed buns in the soup bowl and took a few bites fiercely. Looks like I haven't eaten for a few days.
"However, there weren't so many soldiers around here in the first few days I came, and now there are more and more, is there something big going to happen in this Cloud City?" Tang Wan glanced at the heavily armed soldiers walking around the city gate, and asked casually.
"That's because the Imperial Tomb Festival is about to begin, and the national teacher is going to set off today." The old beggar replied quickly.
"Imperial Tomb? Where is the Imperial Tomb? Isn't there more delicious food there? As he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe the saliva that came out of the corner of his mouth.
"You melon baby! Be quiet! The old beggar pounced on him and covered the mouth of the soup bowl with his hand: "How dare you talk about the imperial tomb so boldly, you don't want to die?" ”
The soup bowl was covered with tears, and it was actually smoked by the smell of the old beggar's hand.
"Then what kind of place is this imperial mausoleum?" The soup bowl asked in a whisper, word by word.
