"Gua Wazi, this imperial mausoleum, as the name suggests, is the location of the ancestral tomb of the emperor Lao'er and his family." The old beggar let go of the hand that was covering the mouth of the soup bowl, and continued: "For the sake of you still knowing how to honor people, I will kindly remind you, lest you not know how to lose your little life." ”

The soup bowl nodded gratefully: "Uncle, then you can tell me about it." ”

"This imperial mausoleum is built in Wolong Mountain, thirty miles outside Yuncheng, and this emperor will personally take his dragon sons and grandsons there every three years to worship their ancestors." The old beggar didn't even gnaw on the steamed bun, held it in his hand and continued: "This year is the year of the big sacrifice, but I don't know what the emperor is thinking. ”

"Yes, yes, this national teacher must be very powerful!" The soup bowl nodded in agreement. In his heart, he thought: Who can really understand the emperor's thoughts? If he really cherished his beloved general, he would not have pushed him to the forefront at this juncture.

The old beggar was still chattering on the side, but the soup bowl was full of other things: thirty miles, it seemed that she had to find a way to get there as soon as possible, otherwise when the imperial city set off, she would want to blend in again, I am afraid it would not be so easy.

"Guawazi, so this imperial tomb is not a place where we little people can talk casually, you know?" The old beggar spat and said for a long time, turned his head and saw the soup bowl hanging his head, he didn't know what he was thinking, and hurriedly pushed it: "Hey, melon baby......"

Tang Wan raised his head, pretending to be frightened, and said: "The Imperial Tomb turned out to be such a scary place, fortunately, an uncle told me, otherwise this little life might really be gone." ”

As he spoke, he stood up and said to the old beggar, "Uncle, I'll go see if there's anything delicious elsewhere, and ask for something." ”

"Go, go, remember, don't follow people too closely, or those people will beat people when they get angry." The old beggar waved his hand.

The soup bowl turned three times and two times, away from the old beggar's sight, and then walked quickly in the direction of the city gate.

At the same time, the anise in the National Teacher's Mansion also found that the soup bowl was missing. Although he has never had a good opinion of this little beggar, he is the person left by the national teacher himself, and now that he is inexplicably gone, he still has to report to his master honestly.

"Gone?" There was no superfluous expression on Lu Ziyi's face: "It seems that there are more people coming in to our country's division, otherwise no one will know if someone is coming in and out." ”

Octagon listened tremblingly, he was afraid that Lu Ziyi would be unhappy now, and like last time, let him run all over the street to find someone.

But fortunately, this time Lu Ziyi just paused for a moment, and then said: "Just go, don't care." I'm going to leave for the Imperial Mausoleum tomorrow, are you ready for all the things you need to prepare? ”

Octagon secretly raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his head, and said continuously: "The little one will check it again!" ”

After the octagon left, Lu Ziyi looked at the empty flower hall and sighed almost inaudibly: I still can't hold my breath, it's a pity.

Over there, after the soup bowl walked out of Cloud City smoothly, she was a little worried: this Wolong Mountain is thirty miles away, just relying on her two feet, even if she walks forward without sleep, it will have to walk for two days and two nights. But can she handle it? It's unlikely. But now besides leaving, can she find a second way?

The soup bowl was walking with his head buried in his head, when he suddenly heard a bell ringing behind him. She turned her head to see a dark-skinned man driving a mule forward with a whip. Behind the mule was a large cart, on which were six or seven large barrels crowded together, from which a strange smell was constantly emanating.

Soup Bowl's eyes lit up, and she reached out to stop the mule without thinking.

"Little beggar, what are you doing to stop my mule? I don't have any money for you. "Although the man's face is a little fierce, his temper is really a little generous.

"Big brother, this big brother, where are you going?" The soup bowl learned the scene in the play, and made a nondescript gesture to the man.

"I'm going back to my village." The man raised the whip in his hand and pointed in a distant direction. It is the place where the soup bowl is going to be located in Wolong Mountain.

"Big brother, my hometown has been hit by a disaster, my father and my mother are dead, I originally planned to come to seek refuge with relatives here, but I didn't expect that this family was not found, and there was no place to go, so I wanted to go somewhere else to settle down. I can't walk here, I don't know if my eldest brother can do it well and take me for a ride? "The soup bowl is pitiful.

"I see, it's just that all the water I've pulled behind me is from the city, and the smell is very bad, if you can sit still, then I'll give you a while." The swarthy man said.

"Sit still, sit still, thank you, big brother!" Afraid that the man would regret it halfway, the soup bowl jumped neatly on the board and curled himself up in the gap between the two large wooden barrels.

Although the mule cart is slower, it is better than the two-legged walk of the soup bowl. It's just that this cart is really not a place for people to stay, but fortunately, the soup bowl is small, and it can barely nest on it.

Despite this, the soup bowl was tossed so that the bones on the top and bottom of the body were almost falling apart. "Lu Ziyi, Lu Ziyi, I have suffered so much, but it is all for your safety, see if you will yell at me in the future!"

As soon as her words fell, someone in the National Teacher's Mansion sneezed as he wished, causing Octagon to be extremely nervous: Isn't the National Master going to catch a cold?

This man's Zhuangzi was ten miles away, and the mule cart was bumpy and bumpy until the sun sank in the west, and finally it was upside down to the ground. The man also beckoned the soup bowl to deal with him at home for a night, but was politely declined by the soup bowl. Twenty miles ahead of her, waiting for her.

Fortunately, Tang Wan has been accustomed to suffering since she was a child, and she doesn't care much about this night road. By the time dawn broke in the east, the soup bowl had already walked out of the land for almost eight miles.

"No, no, no, I need to rest for a while." As he spoke, the soup bowl plunged headlong into the cornfield beside the road. No sooner had her head touched the dirt than she fell asleep.

I slept for two hours. Fortunately, after a good night's sleep, the soup bowl felt that the strength of the whole person was back, and she didn't bother to pick up the dirt and ears of corn on her body, and got up from the ground and continued to walk. What she didn't know was that at this time, the team of the imperial relatives led by Lu Ziyi had also set off from Cloud City, and they took a shortcut.

So when the soup bowl hurried to the Wolong Mountain, he found that a large number of personal soldiers were stationed in those places near the imperial tomb. If she stepped forward now, she was afraid that in less than a minute, she would be pierced into a hedgehog by the bows and arrows in the hands of those soldiers.

Sure enough, she is rich and easy to do, but I didn't expect her to travel so day and night, and she still didn't speed up Lu Ziyi's carriage and horses. Now that she can't get into the area around this imperial tomb, what should she do? The soup bowl was nestled behind a small earthen bag on the periphery of the imperial tomb, and he thought with a sad face.

"The National Teacher has an order, tomorrow at noon, he will personally lead a team of people to the royal forest to catch the 'Rui Beast' used in the sacrifice, and you will go with me to set up the trap first!"

Before Tang Wan could come up with any good idea to tell Lu Ziyi what he knew, he heard a burst of voices from the front of the small dirt bag.

"Tomorrow afternoon? If I go to the forest in advance to guard, will I be able to see Lu Ziyi? The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this method was feasible.

Therefore, while the soldiers were not paying attention, the soup bowl also followed them far away and went to the royal forest.

The Royal Forest, in the final analysis, is a large forest on this Wolong Mountain, but only here lives an animal needed for royal sacrifices, the "Rui Beast" triangular color deer. Therefore, the emperor of that year waved his pen and named this forest as the "Imperial Forest", and usually sent a team of soldiers to guard it to prevent ordinary people from entering it by mistake. After being caught, the triangular deer will only be locked in a cage and carried to the sacrificial platform. After the sacrificial ceremony is over, it must be returned to the royal forest to show that God has the virtue of a good life, and will not kill indiscriminately.

In the past, this matter was completed by the emperor, but this time, the situation is special, so it is natural for Lu Ziyi, the imperial envoy, to lead the two princes to complete it together.

This place in the Imperial Forest, except for the triennial festival, it will be lively, and usually you can't even see a figure. Therefore, the daily patrol of the soldiers who are responsible for watching over this place is a complete task, and every point is counted. As a result, the soup bowl could run effortlessly into the royal forest right under their noses.

It's just that as soon as I ran into the woods, the soup bowl was a little dizzy. This forest is so big, where will that beast appear? Just now, in order not to be discovered, so she sneaked in after the soup bowl waited for all the soldiers to enter the forest, who knew that this time she came in, the east, the west, the north and the south couldn't be distinguished.

Standing in place for a long time, the soup bowl felt that he was groping forward first.

There were so many trees in the forest that they covered the sky and the sun, and soon the soup bowl didn't know where to go. However, she thought of a good idea, go up the tree! I can't see it clearly from the bottom, but I can always see it clearly when I climb the tree!

The soup bowl took off her tattered straw sandals and put them into her arms, and after taking a deep breath, she climbed up the tree on the side. "Ahh The soup bowl was standing on a large branch three meters above the ground, and was about to look around at the scenery below, when suddenly a light flashed in the corner of her eye, piercing a flower in front of her eyes, and she slipped on the branch with a chirp. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, otherwise she would have fallen this time, and she would have to become a real broken bowl!

"What shook my eyes?"
