Everyone in the house was happy, the house attendant held a cup and drank freely, tilting east and west, Lu Yunxiang saw this situation, thinking that such joy was exchanged for Zhao Lizhi's pain, and left angrily in the banquet, Zhao Ping asked why, Lu Yunxiang only said that he was not able to drink in the capital, and wanted to go back to the room to rest.

Zhao Ping drunkenly said that the people in the rivers and lakes are not as good as the Beijing people, which is really ridiculous, and he laughed loudly, and the relatives and nobles sitting next to him laughed at themselves.

Lu Yunxiang was even more angry, Zhao Ping lost his words after drinking, and actually revealed his identity in the rivers and lakes, now everyone is drunk, it can be said that it has come out, and it will eventually be a disaster, so he hurriedly returned to the room, thinking about what to do.

In the evening, the singing and dancing in the house did not stop, the banquet continued, the Buddhist hall in the backyard of Liyang chanted, without asking about government affairs, Lu Yunxiang jumped out of the window and flew to the eaves, and stepped out of the wall after a light step, and the fast shadow moved, went to the south city, and jumped out of a tavern.

Raising his eyes and looking at the words "Shangru Tavern" on the plaque, he entered the hall to greet his shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper was happy to come, and asked why he needed it, Lu Yunxiang sat on a stool and asked him: "Has anyone come into the hall to look for me recently?" The shopkeeper replied: "The villain is in the hall every day, and he doesn't notice that there are people." ”

Lu Yunxiang was stunned, so he randomly ordered a few side dishes and a pot of sake, and the shopkeeper promised to go back to the back hall to prepare food.

Prepare the wine and food at the moment, return to the front hall and put the wine and food on the table, Zhao Li drank a few glasses, threw the dishes and added the vegetables, the dinner did not eat the dishes, and now the stomach is hungry.

After a while, after using up the wine and food, he told the shopkeeper after paying the silver: "If the woman surnamed Lin looks for me tomorrow, you don't have to send a message, just let her go to Mangzhen Xunlou outside the city." ”

The shopkeeper responded, Lu Yunxiang went out of the hall and returned to the house, the house still did not stop the banquet, Wang Qing held the wooden stake, he had become a half-drunk appearance, saw Lu Yunxiang enter the door, called him to the banquet, Lu Yunxiang refused and went back to the house to rest.

In the Shangru Tavern in Nancheng outside the house, the shopkeeper was picking up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, but he saw a group of four people walking outside the door, stopped and greeted the guests with a smile.

These four people are plainly dressed, heroic and abnormal, two people hold swords in their hands, one person holds a flute, the other person carries a sword, two men and two women, they came in a hurry, Zheng Fu Zhen, Xu Qing, Lu Yunqi, Lin Xu also.

The four of them arrived at the capital of Jinling City at noon, and after entering the city, they felt that the flow of people was surging, so they wanted to see the excitement with them, and only heard the place where everyone flocked to on the way, which was outside Zhao Li's house, and there will be a palace supervisor outside the palace, the intention was to commend Zhao Li's efforts to go south, and wanted to marry her, marry into the royal family as a concubine, and tie the knot with the four princes Xiao Zong.

This kind of news has already circulated in Kyoto, and now the women and children know everything, Xu Qing can't stop after hearing it, his mind turns a thousand times, he is stunned, and he is afraid in his heart, he does not go to Dongcheng and turns to the west, and stops and returns outside the palace in Xicheng.

But seeing Lu Yunqi waiting in the distance, when Xu Qing was walking in abrupt terms, Lu Yunqi followed behind him, knowing that Xu Qing was sad and couldn't bear to call him back to his senses, so he quietly followed behind.

Now the two of them looked at each other, Lu Yunqi rushed over, and asked why he came here, Xu Qing only said that he wanted to come to the imperial city since he was a child, and today he realized his dream, and he couldn't help but come here to take a look, sure enough, the imperial city is mighty, and the situation in the dream is no different.

Lu Yunqi knew that his pretext was perfunctory, and he didn't break it, so the two went back to the east.

Outside the Bianyang Mansion, Lin Fu and the others squeezed into the crowd, looked at it intently, and saw a person in a long hat and a green coat with a sharp voice reading the holy decree.

What the purpose said is no different from the words of Jingshi's chat, the two of them are all looking down, thinking that a group of four people came all the way to Jinling to find someone, Lin Xu originally had a fluke idea, thinking that Lu Yunxiang's words were exaggerated, and when he saw this scene today, he knew that his words were true, and Zhao Li was about to step into the royal family.

Fu Zhen gritted his teeth and sighed: "I didn't expect that Miss Zhao is really the lord of Daliang, and she will become the princess and concubine on the same day, which is really puzzling." ”

Lin Xu sighed back, and the two of them went out of the crowd to find a secluded place to talk in detail, and Fu Zhenyan said: "The meaning in Lu Guan's letter is that Zhao Li was forced to marry the prince and asked us to help him, but after all, this is the imperial capital of the capital, how can we save a few of us?" Lu Yunxiang replied with his cheeks: "No matter what, we must not sit idly by, and find Yunxiang first." Fu Zhen asked, "Where can Lord Lu Guan meet?"

Lin Xu took out the package and checked the letter, what the letter said was that he could find a Shangru tavern after entering Beijing, Fu Zhen read the letter and said: "Since this is the case, let's go here, but I don't know where Xu Qingyun lives." ”

The two returned to look for people, went to the west, Xu Lu and the two returned to the east, two hours of work, the four of them met themselves, and asked a lot of Beijing people, only to know that the Shangru tavern stood at the end of the southern city.

The four of them walked quickly, and after a few more hours, they arrived outside the tavern and saw that the inscription on the card was correct.

When he entered the museum and asked the store companion, Fu Zhen was the first to mention: "May I ask where Lu Yunxiang is?" The store companion heard the word "Lu Yunxiang", and said to him: "It's really unfortunate that the guest official came, the Lu guest official had dinner and left the museum for a while." Lin Xu hurriedly said: "Do you know where she went?" The shopkeeper replied: "I don't know." ”

Seeing that the four of them were anxious for a while, they suddenly asked: "Is there a guest officer surnamed Lin?" Lin Xu stepped forward and said, "My name is Lin Xu, can I do something?" The shopkeeper said: "When the guest officer surnamed Lu was leaving, he instructed Xiao to explain that if a woman surnamed Lin came here on the next day, he would tell her to go to Mangzhen outside the city to find someone. ，”

The four of them were suspicious, and they didn't know what Lu Yunxiang meant, Lin Xu said: "What should we do when we arrive here today?" The shopkeeper replied: "According to the order, it will be passed on to the Lu guest officer." Lu Yunqi hurriedly said: "Do you know Miss Lu's residence?" The shopkeeper said: "I don't know, but you can tie the letter to the gray pigeon, and then the pigeon will bring the letter and sue the Lu guest officer." ”

The four looked at each other, and Lin Xu said happily: "Can you let us take a look at the carrier pigeon?"

The shopkeeper promised to lead the four people to the back hall, went into the house to light the candles, took out the pigeon cage in the house, and the four of them gathered to take a closer look, Lin Xuyue said: "Yes, this is Lu Yunxiang's gray pigeon." ”

After confirming that it was correct, Fu Zhen wanted to send a letter to Lu Yunxiang, but Xu Qing said: "It's late at night, it's inconvenient to bother, how about going to Mangzhen tomorrow to take a look?"

The three of them thought to themselves for a while, it was really late, and now that they had arrived in Kyoto, there was no need to be in such a hurry, so they asked their shopkeepers for four rooms, prepared food and drinks, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Jinling Xicheng Imperial Palace Ziyun Garden, the sun rises and the sun reflects the bamboo, Zhao Li's hand blocks the rhyme, obliquely looks up to the sky, thinks about it for a long time and can go out of the garden to find the hole, and then go out of the palace to meet Sister Lu, although all the worries and worries, if you can get out of the palace, your heart is really sudden.

The garden attendant came to say that the meal has been prepared, Zhao Li followed his meal, sat alone in the courtyard, the more it was noon, the more uneasy it was, if this line went wrong, then he would regret the rest of his life.

Thinking about where to go, whether to obey the will, marry with peace of mind, and return to the palace after leaving the palace, or obey your own heart, return to the rivers and lakes, and do not return after leaving the palace, and then spend the rest of your life, but it can be regarded as turning your back on the entire Bianyang Mansion and becoming an unfaithful and unfilial person.

But he can indulge in a happy life, carefree, a few months ago he went out of Beijing without permission for such ambitions, at that time he was naïve and ignorant, and he didn't know how to cause such a disaster, and now the disaster is a little solved, if he still follows his own will, I am afraid that the old wave will recur.

Thinking about this, I can't help but feel sentimental, why did I work hard to find a way and meet Lu Yunxiang outside the city, but my friends were tired, and it was not easy to refuse, so I took this opportunity to end it together.

With such thoughts, noon has arrived, Zhao Li called the servant to come over, as he did yesterday, and instructed not to let others disturb him, let alone step into the house, and ordered him to take care of his life, not to leave the house one step, and the servant received the order.

Zhao Li entered the house, pushed the curtain window after closing the door, walked out, lit the fruit wood, fell into the house, and hurriedly flew to the wall, supporting the wall and coming out.

Walking cowardly along the path, looking around with his eyes, at this time the palace people were having lunch, no one was walking to patrol the palace, Zhao Li secretly rejoiced, accelerated his pace, ran lightly to the outside of the palace, bowed his head and walked secretly, without being noticed by anyone.

Just after the imperial palace, a person standing behind him, Zhao Li secretly felt something different, but when he turned around, he saw Xiao Zong, and he was very surprised.

After Xiao Zong came to the imperial palace, it was no accident, since that day he saw Zhao Li's suspicious clothes, and after the day he got the results, he secretly decided to prevent him from leaving the palace.

After thinking about it, Zhao Li was twice found out outside the imperial palace, and if he wanted to leave the palace smoothly, he had to take the road of instability.

Since he grew up in the palace, he is familiar with the road conditions, and he feels that Zhao Li's road will not pass through the main gate of the palace, and will take a detour, so he pays attention day and night, and yesterday the palace gate announced the decree, I am afraid that Zhao Li will have the heart of leaving the palace, so he hid in the dark and paid attention to the palace around, but saw Zhao Li's figure behind the palace, but he wondered why he returned from the west, and when he went to the west wall, he knew that he should go to the west when he had lunch.

I secretly felt that Zhao Li was so cunning, but I don't know why I was returning, and I guessed that it should be for practicing steps, and it was for him to prepare for the day.

I will definitely leave the palace today, so I will wait after the imperial palace, and I will not go to eat at noon until Zhao Li arrives.

Zhao Li looked at Xiao Zong, and felt that he should have doubts before waiting for himself here, thinking in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Why is the Fourth Highness here?"

Xiao Zong approached and stared at Zhao Li, Zhao Li was slightly embarrassed, turned his eyes to avoid his eyes, Xiao Zong looked at the heart, and said coldly: "Is the county lord bored to walk out of the garden today?

When Zhao Li heard this, he knew that Xiao Zong had already known what he was doing, and said in a panic: "Why can't Your Highness half close your eyes and let me go?"

Xiao Zong saw that Zhao Li was so quick to reveal himself, and said warmly: "Li'er, do you know what you are doing?" Zhao Li said: "People know that they are noble, Your Highness does not have to worry." Xiao Zong hurriedly said: "If you leave the palace, you will commit a taboo a few months ago, even if you don't want to marry me, I will go to intercede for you, even if it is abolished by my father, I will not give up." ”

Zhao Li saw that his feelings were sincere, and leaned closer and said: "Your Highness has thought too much, I am not going to return to the rivers and lakes when I leave the palace this time, but to make a break with my former friends, the concubine knows that she is guilty, how can she regain the old pain and abandon her relatives?" Xiao Zong sneered: "You are so painstaking, it took several days to enter my palace, make me reminisce, enter the cave many times in the past few days, and actually make a break with my predecessors, and will return to the palace, how can you let me believe you?"

Zhao Li's heart is entangled, since he was a child, his friends don't believe in themselves, and even if he does, his behavior is unbelievable.

But since there is an agreement, he can't break his promise, and he said in a strong voice: "Whether Your Highness believes it or not, the concubine vows to leave the palace." ”

Before leaving, Xiao Zong stepped forward and stretched out his arms to intercept: "Li'er, I must not watch you in prison, he is heartbroken and complains that I didn't stop you in time." Zhao Li said: "Your Highness, don't worry, Zhao Li walks on his own and never complains about others." ”

When he was about to leave, Xiao Zong didn't lower his arm and forced: "If I shout, I'm afraid that the county lord will never be able to go anymore, and the county lord can't force ..... again."

The words were still not finished, but I saw Zhao Li kneeling on the ground and said with tears in her eyes: "The concubine has been accompanied by His Royal Highness since she was a child, and His Royal Highness also knows the temperament of the concubine, the concubine just wants to make a decision this time, and explain the reason with my sister Lu, and then ignore the affairs of the rivers and lakes, if you don't go out of the palace, I am afraid that Sister Lu will fight for her life, and the saint already resents the people in the rivers and lakes, if you anger Long Yan, it will hurt Sister Lu, Your Highness will hang the curtain, and she will not see the concubine regret the rest of her life...."

Bursting into tears, Xiao Zong was shocked, since he met Zhao Li, he had never seen him kneel and plead with him, such true words, the pain of many days was touched, and he wanted to help him get up.

Zhao Li was reluctant to get up, and Xiao Zong sighed pitifully: "Since Li'er has made up her mind, it's up to you to go." ”

When Zhao Li heard this, he bowed to the ground, got up slowly, and turned his back to the west.
