Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said: "Old Tong, you haven't answered yet, what happened to Duke Dingguo's mansion?"
"Later," Lao Tong recalled, "it seemed like it was gone."
"Seems like?" Xia Zhaoyi looked at him.
"I don't know the specifics. I heard that the whole family took poison, and some said that they were executed and the whole family hanged themselves. Everything that can be heard in the military camp is from others."
Xia Zhaoyi paused and said, "Then, do you know the reason?"
Lao Tong thought for a while and shook his head.
Xia Zhaoyi's brows frowned slightly.
As she said to Song Erlang a month ago, if something is really done in Dingguo Mansion, it will be reported to the world.
Lao Tong said that he was in the barracks, but the news heard in the barracks should be more accurate.
"Ah Li, why do you ask this?" Lao Tong asked.
Xia Zhaoyi smiled at him, looked back at Zhi Changle's chest, and said, "It's okay, just a casual question."
After a pause, she said again: "Old Tong, do you believe me?"
"What?"
"I just told you that I have a way to get you and Zhi Changle out of here, but do you believe me?"
This statement sounds a bit dangerous.
Lao Tong scratched his neck again: "Ah Li, the method you said is..."
"Go back to the earth temple and leave."
Seeing the change in Lao Tong's expression, Xia Zhaoyi smiled again and said: "That road is the closest and the safest. It doesn't matter. Just walk openly and openly. What happened in the past will be the same now. If it is true,
If there's danger, there's me too."
It was getting dark, and lanterns were lit at the four corners of the carriage next to the valley.
Dai Yu couldn't sit still anymore and grabbed the big knife next to him: "I'll go inside and look for it."
"What are you looking for!" Shitou shouted, "It's dark inside. If you go in or don't come out, do you think we'll go look for you too?"
"But how can she, a little girl, do it alone in there? What if she encounters any danger and is waiting for us to rescue her?"
Shitou frowned and said irritably: "She asked for it herself. She wants to go in. Who can control her?"
"If the young master comes to look for me later, you tell the young master and I will go look for him first." Dai Yu said, turning around and walking inside.
"Dai Yu!" Shitou rushed up to pull him.
"Brother Dai." Xia Zhaoyi looked down from the mountain, "Are you looking for me?"
The two people raised their heads. It was difficult to see the girl's figure clearly in the darkness, but the place was dangerous and terrifying.
"Ah Li, don't stay there!" Dai Yu exclaimed, "That place is not safe!"
"I'll come down right away!" Xia Zhaoyi replied.
Shitou still pulled Dai Yu, frowned and said angrily: "This little girl doesn't make people worry at all!"
Xia Zhaoyi came down quickly, carrying a small wooden basket in her hand.
Dai Yu greeted him: "Did you really go catch a snake?"
"Look." Xia Zhaoyi handed over the small wooden basket.
Shitou grabbed Dai Yu and said, "Be careful!"
Xia Zhaoyi laughed out loud: "It's not a snake, it's a fruit."
The small wooden basket was very simple, woven with random wood chips. Several wild fruits of different sizes and colors were piled in it, as well as many pears.
Shi Shi paused and carefully turned his head to take a look.
It's really fruit.
"The climate here is good, and pears mature earlier than elsewhere. I ate one, and it was especially juicy," Xia Zhaoyi said.
Shitou raised his eyes and looked at her: "Why is it fruit? Didn't you mean to catch snakes?"
"I changed my mind temporarily. Do you want to pick one up?"
The stone did not move and continued: "Are these fruits very tall? How did you pick them?"
Xia Zhaoyi turned to Dai Yu.
Dai Yu was very happy, stretched out his hand to take one, and said with a smile: "The fruit picked by Ah Li must be very delicious."
After saying that, he wiped his sleeves, put it in his mouth and took a crisp bite.
"You won't wash it either." Shitou looked disgusted.
"It's okay, I've washed it." Xia Zhaoyi said, holding the small wooden basket and walking towards Qingyun over there.
In order to keep the horse straw basket balanced, she tied a piece of wood on the other side of the blue cloud.
After taking down the wood, she hung up the small wooden basket containing the fruits and covered it with a small lid.
While doing this, two soldiers came down from the mountain, and Dai Yu looked over curiously.
Lao Tong and Zhi Changle walked quietly, not squinting.
"Hey," Xia Zhaoyi said, "There are still patrols on the mountain at this time."
They heard the sound and looked over. Lao Tong's palms were sweating.
"Hahaha, what's strange?" Dai Yu bit the fruit and raised his hand to make a gesture, "That Marquis of Jing'an is so bold now."
Lao Tong and Zhi Changle breathed a sigh of relief.
Xia Zhaoyi said "Oh" and looked away.
Down below is the school field, and on the other side is the valley where the campsite is set up.
Lao Tong and Zhi Changle kept walking forward, passing through the earth temple from the other side, going around a path up the hillside, and reached the dirt road where Xia Zhaoyi came down today.
"Old Tong." Zhi Changle couldn't help it anymore and whispered, "Is it true that nothing will happen to us if we do this?"
"Shut up." Lao Tong said.
The two people kept walking without stopping, crossing the dirt path and entering the ravine on the other side.
There was a camp stationed below the ravine. Old Tong picked up his spirits and stepped down.
Zhi Changle grabbed him: "Are you going down right now?"
"Let's go."
"There is a road over there too." Zhi Changle pointed toward the ravine.
"No." Lao Tong shook his head, "If we are discovered walking that way, we will really become deserters. If we go down this way, we can escape if we can. If we can't escape, we will look for opportunities later. Keep Qingshan here, no matter what
I am worried that I have no firewood.”
After a pause, Lao Tong asked again: "Are your legs weak?"
"It seems a little, mainly because my chest hurts because I was pressed by you."
"Then please bear with me. Ah Li gave me a lot of medicine. After we pass this military camp, we will have a good rest. You can take it and apply it yourself."
"Um."
Marquis Jingan woke up at Haishi, and Shen Lie had been waiting for almost three hours.
After getting the news, the concubine went over to take care of her as soon as possible.
Marquis Jing'an was lying on the bed, his eyes were blank as usual when he woke up.
"Master Hou." The beautiful concubine hurriedly walked in, "The husband of the Shen family is here and has been waiting outside."
"Who?" Marquis Jing'an looked over, his eyes moving slowly.
The maids next to him brought warm water, tea and wood chips to clear the mouth.
The concubine took the handkerchief, wrung it out, wiped it on Marquis Jing'an's face, and said softly: "The prince of the Shen family, the precious grandson of Guo Shu, and the younger brother of the divine doctor Shen."
"He?" Marquis Jing'an was stunned for a moment, and Huo sat up. "He's here? Why didn't you wake me up? Where are the others? When did they come?"
The beautiful concubine was slightly frightened and said: "I've been here for a while. I saw that it's rare for you, Lord Marquis, to sleep so soundly, so..."
Marquis Jing'an pushed her away and got off the couch. While looking for clothes, he said angrily: "I don't know the importance! Where is Ye Quan now?"
"Captain Ye has led the troops."
Marquis Jing'an paused and raised his head: "Then who is entertaining Shen Lie? You?"
