Chapter 67: Entering Taoyuan Village by mistake

Li Yunxiao and Shangguan Xi followed the footsteps of the little fat baby, and the two walked all the way through the peach forest to the end, and suddenly appeared a neatly arranged thatched house.

There are colorful butterflies clustering around the flowers on the roadside, and three or two magpies frolicking in the branches on the peach blossom tree outside the wall.

At this time, although the sun is shining, there seems to be no hot breath, only that everything around me is full of peace and tranquility.

But the villagers, who were still working on the roof, weeding in the fields, and resting in the yard, heard the cries of the little fat doll, and whether it was true or not, they all ran into the house and hid!

Only the old village chief, with his white temples and a white beard almost hanging to the ground, walked out of the courtyard slowly, and he moved many steps with his cane before he stood in front of the little fat baby.

I saw him frown, raised the crutches in his hand and gave the fat baby a blow first, before squinting his eyes and reprimanding: "I said little tiger, you tiger cub...... I want to scare everyone for a while, don't you, let you pick the peach blossoms for me, and where did you go to play and have a sweet dream?"

The fat doll, known as Xiaohu, was so angry that she stomped her feet when she heard this, and then looked at Li Yunxiao and Shangguan Xi who came over behind her, standing upright on the side and watching the play, and her heart was even more anxious.

"It's true, it's true, village chief, don't believe it!"

The old village chief looked in the direction he was pointing, and in a daze, he seemed to see two figures standing in the distance, and he squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a long time......

Hey, what two faces you've never seen before!

How to say that he is also an old village chief who has lived for more than 100 years, and he has never seen anything in the world, he said indifferently: "Isn't it just that two outsiders came, what are you panicking about...... Hey, I suddenly remembered that there was still tea boiling in my room, you talk slowly, old man, I'll go first!"

As soon as the old village chief's voice fell, he silently turned around and ran into the house, and as soon as he entered the house, he closed the doors and windows around him, and did not even leave a crack in the light.

Xiaohu was originally not very afraid, but now that the old village chief had abandoned himself so ruthlessly, he could only run to the village chief's house tremblingly, staring timidly at Li Yunxiao and Shangguan Xi, who had followed the courtyard, while knocking on the door with a full desire to survive and asking the village chief to let him in.

The door of the house was still not opened, and I only heard the old village chief complaining in the house: "Little Tiger~ let you pick peach blossoms, you can do it, the peach blossoms have not been picked back, and you have brought back two outsiders! Let them leave quickly, this is not the place where they should come!"

Shangguan Xi and Li Yunxiao didn't know anything about this unfamiliar environment, and they didn't even know how they came here, let alone how they got out.

Seeing this situation, Shangguan Xi had no choice but to step forward and knock lightly on the door: "Old man, you don't have to worry, the two of us have no malicious intentions, but we just accidentally broke into the peach forest and want to ask you for a way out." ”

The old village chief sat at the table panting, took the tea on the table and drank it all, and then wiped it with his sleeve, and said angrily: "Where it comes from, where to go, we Taoyuan villagers have lived here for generations to avoid the war, no one has ever left, naturally no one knows the way out, listen to the old man's advice, while it is still early, you should leave quickly, it will be too late!"

Although the two didn't understand the meaning of his words, they knew that continuing to entangle might not be able to ask for a result, and after thinking about it, the two finally decided to go back to the place where they first woke up to find a way out.

Li Yunxiao observed the surrounding situation all the way and was silent, he always felt that the environment he was in now was a little strange, but he couldn't say what was strange, this place was indeed very beautiful, so beautiful that it made people feel a little unreal.

They returned to the original peach blossom forest, the breeze blew, the peach blossoms fell from the trees one by one, swirling and blowing down to the ground, the back basket that the little fat baby accidentally discarded was still lying there alone, and the peach blossoms that were originally full of the back basket were gone.

Something seemed to be peeking around, following their footsteps all the way, and the place where they first woke up was nothing but the endless peach blossom forest.

Why are the villagers of Taoyuan Village so afraid of outsiders coming? Why does the old village chief say that this is not the place they should come and tell them to leave quickly? What secrets are hidden in this seemingly beautiful Taoyuan Village?

Li Yunxiao is convinced that the inexplicable opportunity to bring them here must not be accidental, it is someone in the dark who is dragging them, and it is fate that the two of them are destined to go this way!

At the same time, it was already getting dark in Shangqiu City, and although the streets were still peaceful, the back garden in the imperial city was already in chaos.

Seeing that it was about to be the time of the last dynasty, the emperor was still missing, and the palace maids, eunuchs and guards who were busy looking for people were tired and pale one by one, but they did not dare to have the slightest slackness under their hands.

Everyone searched inside and out several times overnight, and almost turned the entire dormitory and the back garden upside down, and they didn't see the slightest shadow of the emperor and the lady of the Shangguan family.

Gonggong Zou was already anxious, he paced back and forth in the courtyard for a long time, and he didn't come up with any good ideas, so he had to call someone to hurry up and inform the sixth prince Li Yu.

The news of the emperor's disappearance must not be known to others, but his identity is not convenient for travel, so he had to give the little eunuch a reason.

"You tell His Royal Highness King Yu that the emperor always talks about the pastries of the exquisite shop when he gets up this morning, and tells him to buy some and bring one with him for breakfast when he comes. Of course, these words must be said in front of outsiders, and after he avoids others, he must carefully inform the truth in private, and ask His Highness to enter the palace as soon as possible to assist!"

After the little eunuch answered the order and left, Gonggong Zou thought about it, and raised his hand to beckon a clever subordinate to come over.

"You go to the front of the main hall to spread the word, and when the officials in front of the jade steps are almost all together, they will say that the emperor accidentally blew the wind in the back garden last night, and he got up in the morning with a bad headache, and he can't go to court today. Let the ministers from all walks of life hand over the excerpts that need to be played to you, and then you will send them to the Jingyu Palace for the emperor's approval. ”

The outside is all arranged, and the rest is inside, Zou Gonggong cleared his throat and said coldly: "All of you present today have a share of merit regardless of your status and status, and when the emperor comes back, the old slave will definitely ask you for a reward, but you should also understand that if there is a little leak in today's affairs, the old slave will risk his life, and he will also drag you to be buried with me!"

After everyone got the order and nodded their heads, a new wave of search began, and now everyone just hopes to see the emperor as soon as possible, so as to calm their restless hearts.
