Chapter 13 Escape

Li Xiaoyao looked up at Mr. Liang with a calm face. Sure enough, another person wanted to take her as a maidservant. Li Xiaoyao blinked his eyes and asked seriously, "Is your second prince a son-in-law?"

"Yes!" Mr. Liang replied with a smile. Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes and looked at Mr. Liang with a more serious expression: "Didn't you say that the son-in-law is dying? He is dying. How can I follow him to be his origin?

Mr. Liang choked his throat and coughed several times: "What you said, it's okay. Why don't you follow me first? Let's go back to Beiping Mansion first. If the second prince is well, you can follow him. If he is not well, you can follow me."

Li Xiaoyao tilted her head and looked at Mr. Liang and laughed: "That day in Changfeng Building, after your second prince said that 'the wine shop servant also has such a character', did you remember to take me to serve your second prince? Today is just a coincidence."

Mr. Liang was stunned for a moment and reacted for a moment. He breathed a sigh of relief, showed a smile, and said cheerfully, "I'm really right. Xiaoyao is very smart, and it's good to talk to you. Following the second prince, it's not wrong you. Even I didn't listen to the second prince? Today's coincidence is also our fate.

Mr. Liang's frankness stunned Li Xiaoyao. After a moment, he shook his head and firmly refused, "I appreciate this kindness, but our brother and sister just want to live a peaceful life. It's not far from the charcoal bridge. Sir, put me down here."

"Your brother has gone to the army. If you hadn't met me, you would have been arrested. How can you live a stable life? Xiaoyao, think about it." Mr. Liang sincerely persuaded Li Xiaoyao.

"My brother will come back as a soldier. Everyone has his own aspirations. You don't have to persuade him anymore. Xiaoyao will get off here." Li Xiaoyao bent his eyes and replied with a clear and clean smile as before. Mr. Liang looked at Li Xiaoyao and couldn't help laughing with her. He said gently, "I'll send you to the charcoal bridge. It's almost there. Xiaoyao, don't be too stubborn and think about my words."

Li Xiaoyao shook his head with a smile and stopped answering. The car paused, and the guard outside reported in a low voice, "Master Liang, the charcoal bridge has arrived." Li Xiaoyao was about to jump out of the car with Hu Bing in his arms. Mr. Liang said with a smile, "Don't thank him and leave?" This is not good."

Li Xiaoyao stopped his figure, looked back at Mr. Liang, and replied with a smile, "In the past, when I visited the Yanluo Hall, I saw a couplet, so I gave it to Mr. Liang as a thank-you gift." Li Xiaoyao paused, smiled with bent eyes, and lowered his voice and said, "If you have a heart to do good, you will not be rewarded; if you have no intention, you will be evil, but you will not be punished."

Mr. Liang listened to the couplet and read it in a low voice. Li Xiaoyao had jumped out of the car and rushed to the crowd with Hu Bing in his arms. Mr. Liang waved to the famous man and whispered a few words. The long one nodded, dodged away from the convoy, and followed Li Xiaoyao into the crowd.

Mr. Liang twisted his beard, read Li Xiaoyao's couplet twice, and shook her head with a smile. The girl said that he was kind, so she was not grateful. The couplet was a little interesting. I don't know which Yanluo Hall she saw. She was still literate, which was really rare. 'When I visited the Yanluo Hall in the past', this That's interesting.

Li Xiaoyao went straight to the vegetable market like a fish in the crowd, turned around the vegetable market, flashed into a corner, and stood quietly for more than a quarter of an hour. He felt that someone should be dumped by her, so he took off the outermost jacket, wrapped the cake in his arms, and flashed out of the corner. Running out to the East Gate, it was late. She dared not delay any more. The eldest brother said that they would escape early. This escape must be chased by someone behind them. After they merged, they had to quickly stay away from the Taiping Mansion.

Li Xiaoyao went out of the city with a jacket wrapped in a beard cake, mixed in the bustling crowd, circled two times, and went straight to the land temple.

The land temple is two or three miles away from the east gate of Taiping Mansion. There is no village in front of it and no store behind it. It is quite remote and very small. There are more than ten feet tall and bare flagpoles in front of the temple. In the temple, the land man and the land woman sit with a smile, wearing a red and green inferior silk cloak, and the cloak is full of dust. God Like the first half of the tall incense burner, it is full of cold incense ash. Li Xiaoyao stood under the flagpole and looked back and right vigilantly. Seeing that there was no half a human figure around, he flashed into the land temple, circled around the statue twice, and gently sighed. The eldest brother and the others had not arrived yet, so that's good. She waited for them and couldn't let them wait for her.

Li Xiaoyao came out of the back door of the temple and looked around. The view in front of the temple was excellent, but there was a dense forest not far behind the temple. Later, they would go east, which was exactly in the direction of the forest. If someone chased after him, there was a forest better than anything else, at least not to be afraid of bows and arrows. Li Xiaoyao turned half a circle behind the temple and didn't dare to stay outside. She could see others, and naturally others could see her.

Entering the land temple, Li Xiaoyao turned back and forth, left and right several times, but he couldn't find a place to hide. In such a small three-room, there was a land father-in-law and a land woman sitting in the middle, surrounded by empty, and there was no hidden place at all! Li Xiaoyao was so anxious that she turned around and must find a place she could not see to hide. She had no power to protect herself. Almost a living thing could bully her. Only by hiding can she be safe.

Li Xiaoyao looked up and looked around. His eyes fell on the gray silk cloak of the statue. His eyes lit up. He was thin and small. The cat was under the cloak, and he could not see it outside, but he could see the outside from the cloak! Li Xiaoyao circled around the statue and found a place where she could climb up. The back was too high. She tried and couldn't climb up at all. She turned to the front and turned to the incense burner. No, she had to climb up anyway! Li Xiaoyao raised the cake in his arms to the statue platform first, tried to climb to the incense burner, stood up tremblingly, rushed his hands to reach the knee of the statue, bit his lips, and pedaled up the incense burner hard. He finally climbed to the statue platform, but the incense burner was kicked to the ground by her and rushed straight to the door of the temple full of incense ash.

Li Xiaoyao didn't care much. He held the cake, squeezed between the land father-in-law and the land woman, gently picked up the cloak of the land father-in-law and the land woman, compared it, and carefully drilled under the land-law's cloak. The land father-in-law's buttocks were smaller and the place under his arm was large.

Li Xiaoyao curled up under the arm of the land, slowly adjusted his breathing, listened to the movement outside, and waited restlessly for the eldest brother to come over.

I don't know how long it has passed. Li Xiaoyao listened to the movement outside and carefully moved his numb hands and feet from time to time. Suddenly, there was a soft grunt in his stomach. Li Xiaoyao swallowed his saliva. She was hungry. Li Xiaoyao groped and picked half a piece of cake from his jacket. Come on, she took two bites slowly. The dry cake made her mouth dry. Li Xiaoyao didn't dare to eat any more and stuffed the cake back. If she ate the cake and was thirsty, it would be even worse, and she would never come up again.

Li Xiaoyao was next to the statue. In hunger and anxiety, he took a nap and slept for a while. When he woke up, Li Xiaoyao listened attentively to the movements around him, slowly moved his numb hands and feet, reached out to pick up the cape and looked out of the hall. It was already sunset outside, and countless fears came from the bottom of Li Xiaoyao's heart. Little by little, they spit out bubbles and then spread out. Didn't they run out, or didn't they get here? Li Xiaoyao shivered cleverly and 'bapt' repeatedly. How could he have such an idea?! It's really time to 'pooh'. Li Xiaoyao said 'pooh' twice, closed her eyes and prayed secretly: "Grandpa of the land, mother-in-law of the land, this is your territory. Please bless your eldest brother, Brother Shuisheng, Brother Erhuai, and Guizi to receive me safely and smoothly, and then bless us to escape safely and smoothly. Go! Later, when I am developed, I will reshape your golden body, and then build a three-entry yard for you. Well, I will shape a pair of golden boys and jade girls under your knees. Please bless them!"

It seemed that the father-in-law of the land heard the prayer, and there were heavy and rapid footsteps outside. Li Xiaoyao suddenly became nervous and looked out of the hall through the cracks in the cloak. Li Zongliang showed his head at the door of the hall with sweat. Li Xiaoyao excitedly shook off his cloak, held the statue and stood up and shouted: " Incense ash! At your feet! Brother, I'm here!"

Li Zongliang stopped his feet, dodged the pile of incense almost over the threshold, held a long gun, flashed in close to the door of the hall, rushed to the statue, and turned around. Li Xiaoyao jumped neatly on Li Zongliang's back, holding a jacket wrapped in a cake, and holding Li Zongliang's neck with one hand. Li Zongliang held it in one hand. Li Xiaoyao, who kept under his feet, rushed straight out to the back door of the palace.

Before turning the statue, a sound of footsteps followed closely behind him. Li Xiaoyao turned his head and saw two or three officers and soldiers holding bright sabers chasing all the way into the land temple and stepping into the soft ash pile. Suddenly, the incense ash dispersed, so that the three people closed their eyes and jumped aside awkwardly while jumping. Well, Li Zongliang took this gap and ran out of the land temple with Li Xiaoyao on his back. As soon as he rushed out, Wei Shuisheng took a long gun and rushed from the right side of the land temple to Li Zongliang. On the left, after Li Erhuai danced with a long stick, Li Zonggui held a knife and caught up with him.

Li Xiaoyao breathed a long sigh of relief, bent his eyes and smiled, plus himself, five, one is not less!

The five people met in one place. After Wei Shuisheng and Li Erhuai broke off, they ran to the forest behind the land temple. Behind, several officers and soldiers dressed in incense and ash rushed out of the land temple and met about a dozen people from the left and right sides of the temple, chasing Wei Shuisheng, Li Erhuai and Li Zonggui, dancing sabers and staring at several people going to the forest. Go after him.

In the distance, four or five horses also galloped from far to near.
