"Hello Dong Gongzi!"

With two loud greetings from the guards, Lu Yu walked out of the imperial city,

Raising his eyes to look at the prosperous scene of people coming and going a hundred meters away, a feeling of freedom rose in his heart that the sea was wide and the sky was high and the birds were flying

"It's finally out, but it's suffocating me. Stretching comfortably, Lu Yu said goodbye to the two guards behind him who paid attention to him with a smile, and walked towards Luoyang City with the eunuch entourage assigned to him by Empress Dowager Dong.

He came out this time because the old lady wanted to taste the Luoyang snacks she said, and she originally planned to send a eunuch out to buy them, but he lied that the place where the snacks were sold was very difficult to find, and he successfully followed out.

This may be because he felt that Lu Yu would not leave suddenly without a sound, so Empress Dowager Dong did not restrict him anymore;

Of course, if Lu Yu really wants to go, she can't limit it even if she wants to.

He came out of the east gate at this time, and normally it was impossible for the two guards to know him, but Lu Yu happened to see these two guys who were in charge of patrolling at the time in the palace before, so he didn't use the pass card given to him by the old lady.

This can be regarded as brushing his face once, Lu Yu sighed, and then stopped standing here stupidly, and walked directly towards the eastern district.

There is a distance of more than 100 meters between the Imperial City and the Eastern District, and no pedestrians are allowed to stop at this distance, and it is completely empty, as if the Imperial City and the Eastern District are two worlds.

With the little eunuch named Dou Gen behind him, Lu Yu walked leisurely into the Eastern District,

Although the residential area is quite quiet, compared to the interior of the imperial city, it can be said that it is very lively, the sound of women washing, children playing, and the coughing of the elderly from time to time from the houses to Lu Yu's sensitive and abnormal ears, so that his mood is unconsciously soothed a lot.

Lu Yu walked forward, and the little eunuch behind him bowed down and asked, "Dong Gongzi, where are we going?"

Dou Gen is a short boy who is a few years younger than Lu Yu, with a delicate appearance and a tender voice, like a sissy.

The dark blue eunuch served a little fat, and his two wide sleeves kept dangling between his walks, and his name and teasing were the same pronunciation, so Lu Yu usually called him Xiaodouzi.

"Let's go to the East Market. Lu Yu replied, his eyes looking around from time to time, as if looking for something.

Finally came out for a trip, he didn't want to have one more follower behind his ass, so Lu Yu wanted to find an excuse or encounter some unexpected situation to get rid of Dou Gen.

It's a pity that there is no reason for this journey, and even pedestrians don't dare to approach the two, not because of Lu Yu, but because the dress of the little eunuch behind him is too frightening.

In the hearts of the people of Luoyang City, eunuchs represent only perversion, cruelty and greed.

The reason for this impression is very simple, most of the top ten famous eunuchs and the ten permanent servants are such people, openly selling officials, greedy, perverted and cruel, and the people don't know it.

Moreover, the eunuchs and scholars in the court have always had grievances for a long time, and it is not so pleasant to offend those guys who play with the pen, and it is also common to publish a list every once in a while to provoke the people's hatred of eunuchs.

Of course, hatred is hatred, but no one dares to openly treat the eunuchs in Luoyang City, and because of this, Dou Gen dares to go out.

He may have turned a blind eye to this situation for a long time, but Lu Yu now regrets taking him with him, or regretting going out with a eunuch, for the simple reason that he is hated under the hated house and Wu

This is probably the first time in Lu Yu's life that he has been hated by ordinary people, and he feels that it is quite bad, so he sped up his pace for a while, planning to hurry up and go back to the small market in the eastern district to buy things.

Under the acceleration of his pace, Lu Yu's speed was still very fast, but unfortunately the little eunuch Dou Gen couldn't keep up, and kept shouting behind him to slow down, so that Lu Yu was involuntarily slowed down.

However, this did not slow down much, and after about a stick of incense, the two finally arrived in the small market.

At this time, the sky is at noon, the sun covers the earth, and the heat of the sun is very amazing, so there are not many pedestrians in the small market now.

Along the streets of the small city, the shops could not be seen at a glance, and each door was wide open, and Lu Yu could clearly see the situation inside when he passed by.

There are very few people selling ingredients and fruits here, most of them sell fabrics, jewelry, treasures or something, but Lu Yu has no interest in these, and walks by in a hurry, without even looking at them.

The little eunuch behind him was quite interested in those rouge gouaches, but he was only interested, and he didn't have the heart to buy them yet.

The pedestrians gave way, and the two of them hurried forward on this street that was not very crowded, and after a while, they came to the destination of the trip: the river cake shop

This cake shop sells all kinds of pastries, but the most delicious is nothing more than a special snack called Yushu cake, Lu Yu inadvertently ate it once before pretending to be Dong Le, and it feels good.

I thought about it by chance today, so I talked about it while chatting, and then it aroused the interest of Empress Dowager Dong.

Then, Lu Yu came out so smoothly.

Walking into the store,

There was no one else inside, and Lu Yu didn't stay here for long, and after buying a few copies, he walked out with the little eunuch under the frightened gaze of the shopkeeper.

Then he was about to return to the imperial city, but a person suddenly walked by and gave him a secret look!

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, and stuffed the snack wrapped in butter paper in his hand into Dou Gen's hand: "Xiaodouzi, you go back first, I suddenly remembered something, and I will come back later." ”

"But" Dou Gen just wanted to say something, but Lu Yu didn't give him more time to speak, and his footsteps seemed to be tracking towards the man's back slowly.

So Dou Gen could only sigh helplessly and walked slowly towards the imperial city.

It's hard to get out for a trip, and he wants to stay a little longer

The man in front of him was dressed in a gray cloth shirt with a yellow rope on his head, dressed as an ordinary person, but his speed was not slow.

Knowing that Lu Yu was following behind, he didn't stop, but kept walking towards some remote places, going further and farther,

finally

The man stopped in the depths of a remote alley in an unknown area.

Lu Yu followed into this alley, and before he could say anything, the man suddenly smiled at him, and then wiped his right hand on his face, revealing the appearance of an elegant middle-aged man,

This is the Ma Yuanyi!

"How are you?"

Lu Yu was slightly surprised.

Ma Yuanyi smiled, and just wanted to answer, but his face suddenly changed, and then he shouted: "Who is there!"
