"My people have been observing carefully for four days. Among the nine cities, only the 'Shuangxiangfang' is the most lax in its inspection when leaving the city. [] Haha, this belt is different from the belt you usually use. Why?
I'd be stunned if I could tie a silk knot..."
"I...I can only tie this kind of button." Xu Ming'er blushed.
"Come, let me tie it for you. Is this a drag or a broken drag? This color and style are only used by eunuchs, and they are the poorest eunuchs. It only needs a rope tied around the waist. As long as it is
Just use a loose buckle. The acacia knot is for girls, not for men, you know?"
Xia Xun pulled Xu Ming'er to his side, gently unknotted her waist, and then tied it up again, slowly to let her know clearly.
After all, she was a big girl, and Ming'er was very uncomfortable being manipulated like this. As soon as the knot of her clothes was untied, she felt a tremor quietly on her body. Her belly tightened and tightened. Xia Xun tied up her clothes.
At that moment, his fingers touched her body vaguely, and Ming'er held her breath until her heart was beating fast.
Xia Xun didn't pay attention at all, and was still whispering: "A group of eunuchs, escorted by donkey carts with excrement and soup everywhere, they go in and out of the city gate every day, forty-eight carts, eunuch No. 100, there are no
People pay attention. They will still glance at you a few times in the first two days, but they will become more relaxed in the past two days.
The most important thing is that they know that the little princess of the Shanwang Mansion is with me, and the princess, who is well-dressed and well-fed, has a delicate body and expensive body, there is no way that she can mix with the eunuchs and accompany the dung cart out of the city.
We would think so, and this is our only chance to escape."
"Ming'er is very obedient and can accept such an arrangement from me. For another person, not to mention the status of the princess, even a young lady from an ordinary wealthy family would not be willing to wear such dirty clothes and accept such an arrangement from me...
…”
Ming'er said in a low voice: "Isn't that what you said? Under the pursuit of powerful enemies, the first rule of survival is to keep a low profile. The lower the profile, the better. If you are as low-key as a speck of dust, no one will notice your existence. Keep a low profile.
If you become a piece of shit, then people will go around you. Only in this way can you live a long life."
"Well, Ming'er has a good memory. Okay, fasten it, turn to me, um! Come on, put on the big hat too, I'll apply ginger juice on you again, don't worry, this won't ruin you
It's on your skin, let's wash it off after we leave the city."
"I'm not afraid, just come on. You don't have to feel like you've wronged me. Putting you in such danger is actually all because of me..."
When Xu Ming'er said this, she suddenly thought of her third brother. During the holidays, the eldest brother wears new clothes and hats. The eldest brother organizes the whole house and welcomes guests, while the second brother also wears new clothes and hats.
Only the third brother was busy with her work. He was always thinking about her. Even if the maids had dressed her up, the third brother would call her to his side. While checking her dress, he would nag Ming'er.
The tears couldn't help but flow down.
Xia Xun stopped his hand and said in surprise: "Why are you crying?"
"fine!"
Xu Ming'er wanted to rub her eyes because ginger juice had been applied near her eyes, but she held it back, blinked, and suppressed her tears and said, "It smells like ginger."
※※※※※※※
Xia Xun didn't ask again. Of course he knew it wasn't because of this, but because Ming'er was thinking of her third brother.
Now the whole city is searching for them. They are secret agents of the King of Yan who have sneaked into the Shanwang Mansion in order to rescue Xu Zengshou and leave. Xu Zengshou was treated leniently by the emperor and his brother taught him a lesson. He has already repented and no longer wants to help the evildoers. They just want to stay in jail and repent. They are so mad that they will
Governor Xu was killed. When the emperor heard the news, he was furious and ordered a large-scale expedition to the nine cities.
When the news spread, Xu Ming'er naturally knew that her third brother was dead. She was very strong and unwilling to cry in front of others. Several times, Xia Xun would secretly cry when no one was around.
She wiped away tears. Maybe it was because she was leaving Jinling today and she couldn't even go to pay homage to the spirit of her deceased brother, so she couldn't help but shed tears in front of her.
In fact, when he asked Hu Tianluo, the kitchen steward of the Xu Mansion, he had already suspected that the so-called house arrest in the Shanwang Mansion was a trap, because he felt that an elder brother who could tie his own brother to the Golden Palace and leave his brother's life and death to the emperor would decide,
He would not have been forced to kneel in the ancestral temple for a long time because of his brother's rebellion and house arrest, and he would not come out until his wife cried and begged at the entrance of the ancestral hall. Nor would he have been isolated in his study, suffering from anorexia and depression for several days without seeing outsiders.
Unless..., his brother has died in his hands.
However, Xu Ming'er obviously didn't think so. If she didn't save her, she wouldn't be able to pass this test. Besides, she owed Governor Xu a favor, a huge favor. But if there was a glimmer of possibility, he had to save her. At the same time, save
People can better protect the existence of Li Jinglong and Mu En. When it comes to this level, it has nothing to do with personal grudges, but to consider the overall situation.
In addition, he also has a reason that is not humane. He wants to solve a doubt in his heart. If he can rescue Xu Zengshou, or if he can confirm that Xu Zengshou is dead, then he can solve the mystery that has been lingering in his heart for a long time.
of this doubt.
Now he already knows the answer.
He knew that history had really begun to change. Although it was only a small change now, it was enough. He no longer had to worry about why there was no record of himself in history, and he no longer had to worry about everything he did.
We should be concerned about the original direction of history, and don't worry that our intervention will be in vain, or that history will move in an immeasurable direction.
As long as he knows that history can be changed by him, even if history changes, he who has appeared here will not disappear out of thin air. This is enough. As for whether he is in a parallel space that coexists with his original world, or is it a parallel space that coexists with his original world?
Once he travels through time and space and returns to the past, he will jump out of the three realms as the Buddhists say. No matter what changes he makes in this world, it will not affect him, a future person who has already come to the present. This is not important. It is important.
What's important is that he lives in the present, and he can live for the present.
Everyone must choose his own path and resolve his own inner demons.
He knew a little about Ming'er's worries, but he also knew that it couldn't be solved with words. It was difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, so Ming'er had to figure out her own worries. Maybe when she figured it out, this little girl could
Really transformed into a big girl.
Physical maturity only requires growth, while mental maturity requires tempering.
The toilets were loaded onto the car one by one, stacked neatly one layer at a time, then one layer at a time, and stacked high. Finally, they were carefully tied up with ropes and tied tightly before loading into the next car.
Xia Xun, like everyone else, worked seriously without showing any disgust or disgust at all. He also rushed to move the toilet that was supposed to be moved by Xu Ming'er. The other people noticed it, but they were just indifferent.
He looked at them with no expression at all.
They are people living at the bottom of society, with no dignity, no, or even the right to live. They know that the two people named Xia and Xu came together. Maybe they were still friends or relatives, so they
Just take care of each other. It doesn't matter. If you stay in this place for a long time, it will become inhumane. Soon, the two of them will become like other people here, a walking zombie who only cares about their own survival.
Xu Ming'er stood there, looking a little at a loss. Then, she suddenly mustered up the courage...
Xia Xun lifted one toilet and put it on the car. Just as he lifted the next one, suddenly a pair of small hands grasped the armrest on the other side of the toilet. Those small hands were rough and dirty, but Xia Xun recognized them.
That's Ming'er's hand.
This is the disguise technique he learned from Xie. There are not so many ready-made disguise materials in the modern world, that is, rice milk, soil, grass juice..., using these easily available materials, they are processed by a pair of skilled hands.
, can make a big change in a person's appearance and skin, it's simple and easy.
Xia Xun raised his head and saw that Xu Ming'er didn't speak, nor him. She pursed her lips and worked hard to lift the toilet.
In front of me is a sensible girl, a stubborn girl, and a...poor child!
The corners of Xia Xun's mouth curled up slightly, and he increased his strength on his hands and increased his speed.
More than thirty flat-bed trucks loaded with red-painted toilets "squeaked" and walked toward Chaoyang Gate, and a stale smell filled the air from a distance.
The imperial capital of Jinling has a population of millions, and the problem of garbage and excrement needs to be solved every day. There is a large group of people living at the bottom of society who are responsible for cleaning up these domestic garbage and excrement. The source of their lives is this
The job is affiliated to the Yingtianfu Yamen. It cleans up the domestic garbage of ordinary people. The government will pay part of the cost. The feces will be transported out of the city and sold to large landowners in suburban villages and towns, and they will also receive part of the income.
At that time, in the countryside, manure was already well understood. The rural landlords and gentry would even build a public toilet on their property passing by the main road. The purpose was to get free fertilizer and water for a small amount of money.
Of course they are willing to enrich their own land.
The incense delivery room was specially designed to deal with the garbage in the palace. There were regulations from above that the dung truck could only go out of Chaoyang Gate and send it to the Weitian of Xiaolingwei. This could be regarded as keeping the waste from outsiders' fields.
Most of the military guards stationed in Kyoto do not have their own acropolis or guard fields, but the Xiaoling Guard is different. The only mission of this army is to defend Xiaoling. They are permanently stationed here, both in terms of establishment and personnel, so they have
There is a place for your subordinates to be settled in your own station and camp.
As soon as you leave Chaoyang Gate and go further to Xiaoling, this large area of fields is used by the officers and soldiers of Xiaoling Guard. The total area of Xiaoling Guard's acropolis and guard fields is enough to cover a quarter of the entire city of Nanjing.
A large one, with real majesty. It is a pity that the officers and soldiers of Xiaoling Guard have no chance to make a fortune or be promoted. They have no power and power. Once they enter Xiaoling Guard, they can only guard their guard fields.
Live your life part by part.
To go to Xiaolingwei, you have to go through Chaoyang Gate.
The area inside Chaoyang Gate was an important part of the imperial city, and there were not many ordinary people living there. At the same time, leaving Chaoyang Gate was the imperial road that went directly to Xiaoling. If you want to go to other places, you have to make a big detour, so although other city gates are now
Because of the strict inspections and overcrowding, people leaving the city preferred to wait elsewhere. Few people came to this city gate, so it seemed quite deserted.
Xia Xun chose his current identity not only because of the inherent concealment of this identity, but also because they had to go out of the city every day and take Chaoyang Gate. This was a psychological warfare.
How could a noble princess sneak into the team transporting toilets and wear tattered clothes that smell of urine? This is impossible.
The wind is so tight and the interrogation is so strict. People with evil intentions will instinctively choose the crowded and chaotic city gates. Only in that way can they feel safe. Who would take such a deserted road and stand out from the crowd? This is another unreasonable situation.
possible.
What's more, such a group of eunuchs who swagger through the market every day, but whose existence is ignored by everyone, are the best protective colors.
Once Luo Qianshi gained power, he was indeed able to control the security forces of Jinling City and turn the whole city upside down. But after all, he was not the Avalokitesvara with thousands of hands and eyes. As long as he was not in charge here, those who were driven by him would
Will those patrol inspections in other yamen work tirelessly to check every passerby day after day? Will they become wary of some eunuchs carrying toilets who pass under their noses every day?
After several days of observation, Xia Xun's people have basically determined the safety of this road. Despite this, Xia Xun still arranged some people nearby just in case. Once his identity is revealed, these people will be dead soldiers.
He was responsible for risking his life to cover the death of his leader, so the area around Chaoyang Gate was quite lively today.
When they saw that the smelly dead eunuchs in the incense room were coming again, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate had already pinched their noses and waved their hands to let them pass, but a captain in brocade clothes shouted: "Wait a minute!"
Then he walked up and looked at them one by one.
There is no way to hide people on the toilet cart. If you want to check, you can only check the people who are escorting the toilet cart out of the city. As soon as you stand between them, you will feel a strong smell of urine. The captain in Jinyi holds his breath.
Looking at each one one by one.
When a little girl wants to play the role of a little eunuch, she has an inherent advantage. What's more, Xu Ming'er put on a tattered and dirty eunuch uniform, her face was sallow, and she was slightly green, and she looked completely malnourished.
No matter how you are, you are a genuine little eunuch, and you are completely incompatible with the cute, smart and smart little girl in the portrait hidden in the captain's arms.
The captain in Jinyi who pressed the knife only glanced at her face slightly, and then looked at the next person. Xia Xun used the sharpest knife to shave her clean chin again early in the morning.
A light layer of powder was applied to make the chin round and delicate. His skin color and hairstyle also changed, and his hair was even thinned, so that the bun he pulled up looked shabby.
Rice paste was used to create thin wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, making him suddenly look ten years older. The corners of his eyes were also drawn closer to the temples, and his eyebrows were plucked out, making his originally handsome pair of eyebrows thinner.
, something was put on both sides of his mouth, so the shape of his eyebrows, eyes, and face all changed. The only thing that didn't change was his height.
When the captain in Jinyi walked up to him, he looked carefully. Xia Xun was the same as the other eunuchs. His behavior, eyes, and demeanor were not masculine at all. His current appearance was the same as the Haizhu book posted at the city gate.
The heroic imperial convict at the head of Yan Ni was a world of difference.
This disguised form cannot be maintained for too long, whether it is the deliberately artificial movements and expressions, or the simple makeup on the eyebrows, corners of the eyes, or even the shape of the face, it cannot last long, but as long as he can persist until he walks out of this city gate, that will be enough. Jin Yi
The captain interrogated him a few times. Xia Xun looked like a half-dead old lady, holding his throat and speaking in a feminine voice.
He did somersaults, smiled, and bared his yellow teeth.
This detail was noticed by the Jinyi Colonel. For anyone with a decent family background, daily washing and teeth cleaning are indispensable. He would never have thought that someone would disguise themselves to such a detailed level. That Huang
Bad teeth, and eye mucus in the corner of his eyes... Captain Jinyi waved his hands in disgust, and only answered one word to Xia Xun's attentiveness: "Get out!"
Xia Xun nodded and smiled, sending the Xiangfang convoy rumbling out of the city. Whether it was Xia Xun and Xu Ming'er in the open, or the dozen dead soldiers who were secretly preparing to respond, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Not far from the city gate, there is a field guarded by Xiaoling Guard officers and soldiers. The crops have already grown, and the green fields are waving in the wind.
Out of town! Finally out of town!
As long as you find the right method, there is no unbreakable prison in the world.
The wind of the wilderness rushed towards his face, and Xia Xun's mind felt relieved.
Those who are good at guarding are hidden under the Nine Earths!
"Master Luo, this time, you lost again!"
Xia Xun turned his head towards the door and smiled slightly...
At the Jinyiwei Yamen, Liu Yujue couldn't hold it any longer and asked Luo Kedi: "Sir, why are all our people dispersed outside Jinling City?"
Luo Kedi glanced at him and asked: "There are millions of people in Jinling City. Do you think we can really get through it with the few people of our Jinyi Guards? There are countless princes and generals living in this city. Do you think they can really tolerate us?"
The inspections were carried out without warning, and the entire Jinling City was in a state of panic, making them uneasy? Do you think that the inspectors and policemen of Yingtian Mansion and the Wucheng Army and Horses Division were able to defy and subvert the superiors of the Yamen, and they
Will you work so hard for us?"
Liu Yujue said hesitantly: "Sir...?"
Luo Kedi smiled lightly: "Their role is just to alert others. Our pockets are set up outside the city!"
Those who are good at attacking will move in the nine heavens!
