Chapter 6: A Taste of Freedom

On the official road, the galloping horses rolled up gusts of wind and sand, blowing Ziyu who was driving a cough.

The officers and soldiers who frequently went out of the city frightened some timid passers-by to go home, and Ziyu silently tied a silk handkerchief to cover her face.

She thought of the things she handed over, which was enough to cause An Guohou and his faction to die without a place to be buried, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The farther away from the clouds, the more relaxed Ziyu felt on her body, as if she was free from the shackles.

In her eighteen years as a bodyguard in her previous life, Ziyu had encountered many strange things, and she was not a real materialist.

There is a sense of heaven in the dark, and a new life really begins.

Shimoyafu, the closest prefecture to Undu, occupies an important position geographically and is a must-pass city to the north.

Five days later, Ziyu, who was in the dust, rushed to pay the entrance fee of ten cents in front of the city gate, and led the mule cart down the quaint street.

Shops with good business have hung lanterns one after another, and those with little business have begun to open the door panels to end the day's hard work.

The shops near the city gate are mostly wooden structures, and there is a young man with a beautiful appearance standing at the entrance of the wine store and inn, greeting customers.

shouted with a green voice, and the voice was one big one, giving Ziyu the illusion of a film and television city.

Lying on the window to look at the strange Ziluo, it is not much better than Ziyu, and the total horns are scattered and the beads are crooked.

"Brother, there are so many people!" As soon as the tired little face entered the city, he immediately came to his senses.

His eyes sparkled as he watched the crowd come and go, and the little guy who went out for the first time was very curious about everything.

Along the way, in addition to sleeping in the carriage, he will not let go of even a tree when he sees anything.

Ziyu, who has never brought a little child, wanted to throw people out of the car several times to fend for himself, but in the end he couldn't be ruthless.

"This place is called Xiagu Mansion, we will rest here for a few days, and my brother will take you to the street to play tomorrow morning."

"Good! Brother is the best! ”

The annoying little fart kid clapped his hands sweetly, maybe this is the reason why Ziyu didn't want to throw him down!

"Childe, may I ask if you are a tip or a hotel!

Our store is safe, hygienic, and child-free, and the stir-fried vegetables and noodles are complete. A young man bowed to Ziyu and reached out to catch the stiff rope in her hand.

Ziyu glanced at the popular inn behind him, a two-story wooden building, the plaque at the door glowing under the lantern.

"Hard work brother, both live in the store and play sharp, I want a quiet upper room."

"Okay, Childe, please!" The young man replied with a loud voice, and a loud tenor in the inn responded.

"Childe lives in the hotel and plays sharp, a quiet room! Inside please! ”

Ziyu handed over the reins in his hand to the young man, took down the burden in the carriage after holding Ziluo, and threw ten copper coins to the young man.

I saw the young man take the placket of his coat, and the copper coins fell back into the placket and sang.

"Xie Gongzi reward!"

That skillful movement, at a glance, you can see that this kind of thing is often encountered.

When the two of them had finished washing and sat in the upper room for a night and a half taels of silver to have dinner, a pillar of incense had passed.

The wooden basin in the corner contains a large basin of freshly washed clothes, and there is no way to change the clothes along the way, so you can only scrub them by the way.

On the small round table, a simple meat and a vegetarian dish are added, plus a bowl of steamed eggs, a plate of steamed buns and two bowls of rice.

Ziyu, who has a huge amount of money, does not have the habit of extravagance and waste, and uses every piece of silver carefully along the way.

The silver ingots she took out were all broken down into small pieces by her, and there was no need to be so careful about the unmarked silver ingots.

But the caution she developed in her previous life has become a habit, and it is this habit that has saved her all kinds of troubles.

The two of them didn't have any entertainment after the meal, and after calling Xiao Er to clean up the mess, they closed the door early to rest.

In the dead of night.

Ziyu on the bed opened her eyes suddenly, and she looked at Ziluo, who was sleeping like a piglet on the middle, and turned over and got up from the bed.

Tucking her pillow into the quilt, she walked silently on the wooden floor barefoot in a cotton robe.

The autumn night in the north is as cold as water, and the feet are cold.

A large pot of undried clothes disappeared into the corner of the house, and Ziyu, who appeared in the space, hung the clothes on the bamboo poles erected on the balcony of the villa.

After several days of non-stop tidying, the contents of the villa had been placed in categories, and a list was posted at the door of each house, and the whole villa was full.

Ten luxury carriages, which could not be used for the time being, were lined up in front of the villa, and the most spacious carriage was covered with soft silk quilts, which became a shelter for the sisters and brothers in times of crisis.

Ziyu quickly changed into a night suit, pedaled black boots, and only exposed her eyes and nose under the black hood, and disappeared into the space.

Ziyu, who was standing close to the window, listened to the undulating snoring sound coming from the inn, and gently lifted the window lattice to climb out of the room.

Before moving in, Ziyu casually probed the pattern of the city from the shopkeeper.

The streets were pitch black with gusting winds, and only the occasional distant sound of a watchman could be heard.

The officers and men who fought by during the day did not leave any tense atmosphere in this city, which was more than 100 kilometers away from the capital.

The petite black shadow flipped into the mansion and went straight to the scribe's room, and under the light of a night pearl in the palm of his fist, Ziyu poked open the locked cabinet and pulled out two blank household registration papers.

Comparing the handwriting on the household register, the two real household registers were completed quickly, and the stamping was completed in two seconds.

Ziyu put the items back in her place, erased the traces of her visit, and left without a trace.

Darkness and cold, well concealed everything.

Walking on the lively street, the brother and sister holding hands each have a string of sugar gourds, which is slightly sweet and sour, which makes the brothers and sisters squint and grin.

Ziyu carried a string of paper bags on her shoulders, and even the lovely Ziluo did not escape the fate of hanging paper bags around her neck.

The siblings bought and ate all the way through the four bustling main streets, attracting the attention of many passers-by, but fortunately they were all cheap food, which did not attract the attention of professionals on the street corners.

Ziyu, who let go of herself, saw a young woman with a ring, carrying a furry bag as small as a wallet, and couldn't help but look at it twice.

"What do you see, can you and other civilians see my young lady?

My young lady is the cousin of the mansion, not worthy of you. ”

The cone-faced girl beside the young woman stepped into the waist and loudly accused Ziyu.

"Hehe, people who don't know still think you're the housewife!

A girl dares to ruin the reputation of her master like this, her heart can be punished! ”

Ziyu put one hand on her waist and shook her feet, squinting at the arrogant Yahuan, the young woman's face changed in an instant, and she shook her hand and gave Yahuan a slap.

"Scrape ~ noisy!" He glared at Ziyu fiercely again, brushed his sleeves and left.

"Tut-tut......"

Ziyu shook her head and entered the shop where the woman had just come out, leaving a crowd of passers-by to surprise.

In the Treasure Pavilion, handmade bags of different styles are hung on the wall at the entrance, mostly small decorative bags.
