Chapter 54 Walking with Tang Si

"I said it's really slow enough to wait for you for a while." Tang Si drank all the wine in his hand and looked at Xie Zhiruo who came in and said.

"Well, the benefactor can use it first. You don't have to wait for Zhiruo." Xie Zhiruo went to the chair and sat down.

"Just call me Tang Si. Don't listen to me like a benefactor."

"Tang Si... Zhiruo'd better call you Mr. Tang..."

"Ouch, okay, it's up to you. I think you're hungry, so you'd better eat something quickly." After saying that, Tang Si ignored Xie Zhiruo and ate it by himself.

Maybe he was really hungry, and Xie Zhiruo also began to move his chopsticks.

After a long storm...

"Ha... It's comfortable. It's right to live like this!" Tang died and threw down his chopsticks, exhaled with a sigh and said.

Xie Zhiruo also gently wiped the corners of her mouth. She was also very satisfied with this meal. Today, because she was worried about the night, she didn't eat anything at all. Tonight, she was so afraid that she forgot that she would be hungry. When she was full, her body was warm. A lot.

"Well, this is also enough to eat and drink. Girl, just tell me what's wrong with you appearing on the street at such a big night?"

"I, I just escaped from Zhaoyang Palace tonight..."

"Did those so-called superior masters in the palace punish you again?" Somehow, when Tang Si said this, Xie Zhiruo seemed to feel a strong hatred from his words. Maybe she felt wrong, so she didn't care too much.

"Well, it's not Mr. Tang. Zhiruo just wants to catch up with the prince's team to the disaster area..." Now that he has said that he escaped from Zhaoyang Palace, he doesn't care to say more.

"What do you, a weak woman, go to that place if you have nothing to do? The disaster victims over there are all going this way. It's good for you to go there. Do you still want to run there? Tang Si was somewhat surprised by Xie Zhiruo's plan and didn't understand what her purpose was.

"I, I just, just want to follow the prince's team..." Xie Zhiruo didn't dare to say that she wanted to do everything she could to chase her because she couldn't rest assured. She didn't know what Tang Si would think after she said it. She must feel that she must be crazy...

"Hahaha... I, Tang Si, have been fooling around with women all day. Can't you see that the girl is so careful? However, girl, how dare you risk it!" Looking at Xie Zhiruo's hesitant, Tang Si probably guessed what Xie Zhiruo was doing this for.

"But I said girl, you are just a little maid of honor. Do you think he can give you anything by doing this? Uncle, I advise you not to be too naive. Although Tang Si is a familiar and bold person, the reason why he has a good impression on Xie Zhiruo and cares more about her affairs is that Xie Zhiruo reminds him of a person who has been buried in the bottom of his heart.

"I didn't want to get anything, I just wanted to go..." Tang Si's words just hit Xie Zhiruo's heartache. She knew that maybe she might risk her life and not get a trace of pity and touch from Mu Yunting, but she was willing to do that, and she was willing to give everything for him.

"I knew it was useless to look at you like this."

" Mr. Tang, I don't know how long it will take to get to the gate from here? Is it still far away?" If the distance is too far, she has to make a good plan.

"There is a certain distance from here to the gate, but if you take a carriage, you can get there in half an hour." Tang Si stepped on the stool and said with a toothpick in his mouth.

"Yeah, it's getting late. Zhi Ruo went back to rest first. Thank you very much for your kindness today." Xie Zhiruo stood up and walked out of the door.

Looking at the back of Xie Zhiruo leaving, Tang Si frowned slightly, and a bright smile flashed in his mind.

After Xie Zhiruo returned to her room, she didn't think much about it and fell asleep.

When it was still dark on the second day, Xie Zhiruo got up and looked at the hourglass in the room. Now there are still two hours to open the city gate. According to what Tang Si told her last night, she still has plenty of time.

After simply cleaning herself up, Xie Zhiru came to the lobby of the hotel. At this time, the hotel was already open, and only a guest was not yet available.

Xiao Er, who was still very sleepy, saw Xie Zhiruo coming out and hurriedly greeted him. Why did this man get up so early? But do you have to hurry?"

Looking at the shopkeeper Xie Zhiruo nodded, he took out the silver from his arms and handed it to the shopkeeper. He deliberately lowered his voice and said, "This is the money for the wine and accommodation of the two of us last night. Please prepare some dry food for me."

Xiao Er picked up the silver in his hand, and his sleepy eyes, which were still a little hazy, instantly became bright. Yes, yes, yes, the little one is ready for you.

Xie Zhiruo casually found a chair and sat down. At this time, the sky was slowly brightening, and the wind in the morning was still a little cool. Except for some homeless people, there was no one on the street.

"Ha...Huh? Is this guest official going to rush out of the gate? At this time, the shopkeeper who woke up saw Xie Zhiruo sitting in the chair and asked curiously.

Hearing the words, Xie Zhiruo nodded gently.

"Is the guest official alone?" The shopkeeper asked again.

"Ye-huh."

"You have to be careful on the way. Today's world is too chaotic. You have to take it easy when you go out alone."

"Thank you for the reminder."

"Your guest, your dry food is here." The shopkeeper came out with a package.

Xie Zhiruo stood up and said thank you softly. After asked the two where to rent a carriage, she went out.

Last night, the light was very dim, and I couldn't see what the street was like at all. Today, it was already bright. Xie Zhiruo could see that some places on the street were very messy, like the remnants left after the fight.

"I said, girl, you also have no conscience, so what kind of thank-you creed left for me and left without saying a word?" When Xie Zhiruo was about to walk to the shop that rented the carriage, a voice full of jokes sounded behind her.

"Tang, Mr. Tang?" Xie Zhiruo was very surprised why Tang Si appeared in this place. When she came out, she handed over a letter of gratitude to the shopkeeper and asked him to help her send the letter to Tang Si. She originally wanted to give it in person, but she was afraid that Tang Si hadn't woken up yet, so she didn't dare to disturb him at all.

"Master, I've been relatively idle recently, and I just want to go out to have a look, so I'll go with you on the way."

"Is Mr. Tang also going to the disaster area?" Tang Si's words surprised Xie Zhiruo. She never thought that Tang Si was going to the disaster area.

"I'm not going to that place. I just want to go out to get some air. The imperial city is too smoky now." Although Tang Si said that, he also had his own plan in his heart. Since he left Zhaoyang Palace that time, he will think of the note in the night pearl box from time to time. Although the note has been made into powder by him, he has always remembered the content on it.

He didn't care much before, but who would have thought that Mu Yunting could let people find his treasure nest. He not only took away the night pearl for him, but also stole the poison-aster beads he had stolen before! It really pissed him off!

After that, he also returned to Zhaoyang Palace to find these two treasures, but no matter how he looked for him, he couldn't find them, which made him very unconvinced and greatly damaged his self-confidence as a thief.

After meeting Xie Zhiruo last night and listening to what she said, he felt that the poison-avoidance bead taken away by Mu Yunting was probably taken by him. This time, he also wanted to bring the bead back.

Because this poison-avoidance bead was left by his master and must not fall into the hands of others. As for the night pearl, of course, he is bound to get it!

Xie Zhiruo didn't know why Tang Si suddenly decided to go all the way to the disaster area with him. Tang Si did not take the initiative to tell her, and she would not ask too much. If Tang Si wanted to tell her, he would definitely say it himself.

"I'm really happy to be with Mr. Tang all the way." Xie Zhiruo looked at Tang Si's change of face, and some strange faces said happily.

Looking at Xie Zhiruo's sincere smiling face, Tang Si suddenly felt a little hazy in front of him. He seemed to see the smiling face he had always been familiar with before.

"Then you should be happy. I've always been alone. Now I'm willing to be with you. This is really your blessing!"

"Yes, yes, this is indeed Zhiruo's blessing!" Xie Zhiruo felt that she had lost her direction because she was happy now. It was really a very gratifying thing to have a familiar person around her in this already strange place.

"However, don't be happy too early. Maybe I don't want to go if I have something to do halfway. OK, let's go quickly." After saying that, Tang Si walked forward first.

Xie Zhiruo didn't say anything more and accelerated her pace to catch up with Tang Si.

"The boss rents a carriage." The two walked through two streets and came to the place where the shopkeeper said to rent a carriage.

"Oh, well, you two want to rent a carriage." The shopkeeper, who huddled on the stool in the room, heard the words and trotted out and said in response.

"I don't know where the two masters are going?" Looking at Xie Zhiruo and Tang Si, who were tall and short, strong and thin, the shopkeeper asked.

"I want to go outside the city."

"Outside the city? Do you two want to go outside the city at this time? Hearing that the two said that they were going to the store outside the city, they frowned with two sparse eyebrows, and their expressions looked a little embarrassed.

"What? Can't you get this car out of town?"

"The two masters also know that it. Nowadays, it's so messy outside, and the small business is also a small business. If this is..." The shopkeeper gradually disappeared after saying that, but what he wanted to say was that it had been clearly expressed.

"Where did you get so much nonsense? This is the money that the old man bought your carriage." After saying that, Tang Si threw the silver into the store's arms.

After the shopkeeper looked at the silver in his arms and put it in his mouth to make sure it was true, his previously entangled face immediately smiled. Okay, okay, the little one will bring the car to the two masters.

Looking at the half-new and half-old carriage in front of him, Tang Si didn't say anything. When he looked at the horse in the carriage, Tang Si snorted softly. Although the horse was also a certain age, it was still strong, and the store still had some conscience and did not give them an old horse.

"Are you satisfied with this car?" The shopkeeper looked at Tang Si, who was secretly looking at the carriage, and asked with a smile.

"It's still reluctant."

"Yes, how can the small one give you a bad one!"

"Oi, let's get in the carriage." Tang Si stopped talking nonsense with the shopkeeper. He turned around and asked Xie Zhiruo to sit in the carriage, and he also sat in the position of the coachman.

"Oh, okay." Xie Zhiruo, who had been standing by and watching, walked to the side of the car and climbed up the car indecently.

"Go!" Tang Si shouted, and the carriage drove slowly.

This was the first time that Xie Zhiruo left Zhaoyang Palace after she came to this place, and it was also the first time she sat in an ancient carriage. It was a very subtle feeling that she had never experienced before.

If Ye Yan was by his side at this time, he would definitely say that he was childish. He would make a fuss in a carriage and be as happy as a grown-up child.

Tang Sijia's car should be regarded as walking very steadily. In ancient times, many roads were very uneven, so Xie Zhiruo in the carriage still felt a little dizzy by the car.

It was quiet all the way, only the kicking sound of the carriage and the purring sound of the wheels.

Neither of them spoke all the way. Maybe they have their own thoughts. Maybe it's because the carriage is too loud. Even if they speak, they have to speak louder to hear clearly. Maybe both of them want to keep more strength to deal with what will happen next.

The carriage drove for nearly half an hour in the silence of the two. Tang Sijia's car should be relatively fast, because when Xie Zhiruo opened the curtain and looked out, she could vaguely see that the city gate was not far away.

The two of them had nothing to do when they came all the way, so they arrived at the gate.

Xie Zhiruo can see that there are already a lot of carriages parked near the city gate. Although the world outside is very chaotic now, there are also many bold business travelers who will take this opportunity to make a small fortune.

At this time, there is an extreme shortage of materials in the north. If the goods here can be transported there for sale now, the income will be quite considerable.

"Looking that there is still about an hour before the opening of the gate, let's go aside and wait." Tang Da, who was sitting in the driver's seat, stretched out and said.

"It's really hard for you, Mr. Tang." Xie Zhiruo poked out her little head from the carriage and said with a smile.

"Well, if you think Tang Si is my friend, don't thank me for this."

Hearing Tang Si say this, Xie Zhiruo felt very moved. Tang Si should be her second friend in the world. In the past, she had always heard other people say such a sentence, 'Go out by friends'. Before that, she couldn't understand the true meaning of this sentence, because Ye Yan would accompany her no matter where she went. Everyone around me will take good care of her.

Now there is no Ye Yan around her. She knows that there are many things in this world that are not as simple as she thought. She has to work hard to know how difficult it is. Ye Yan must have worked very hard to take care of her before, because at that time she was There is nothing I can do.

So no matter what 'Ye Yan' does to her now, she won't care too much about it. Although there is sadness and despair, she is willing to bear everything in order to return 'Ye Yan' to her side, even if she has to give her life!

"I came out early in the morning. I haven't had breakfast or anything, and my stomach is protesting." Tang Si rubbed his hungry stomach and said sadly.

"Why don't we park the carriage aside and go to the nearby breakfast shop for breakfast?" Xie Zhiruo felt very embarrassed to see Tang Si hungry. Tang Si must have had no time to have breakfast to catch up with her.

"Yes, there is still plenty of time. It's no problem to have breakfast." With that, Tang Si went to the breakfast shop not far away.

After parking the carriage, the two came to a breakfast shop without decoration.

"What would you like to eat?" After watching the two people sit down, the lady who worked as a handyman in the store came forward and asked.

"Two bowls of meat noodles, a catty of meat buns, and two bowls of soy milk."

"Eh, okay, the lady is going to prepare for you two."

The aunt should look like she is forty-five or sixty-six years old. She dresses very plainly and treats all guests with the same sincerity.

After a while, they ordered it and came up. You two use it slowly.

"What do you think is going on in this court today?" There were a lot of people eating breakfast in the breakfast shop. At this time, several business-dressed men sitting not far from Xie Zhiruo and they talked together.

"What does this brother say?"

"Don't you know? Since His Royal Highness set out for the disaster area yesterday, the fourth prince has asked people to gather the disaster victims in one place, but there is no action yet. The king of Wu sent troops to stop the soldiers of the fourth prince, and the people and horses on both sides have also clashed! The whole city knows about this!" The man's voice was not deliberately lowered. Maybe he felt that since everyone knew about this matter, he was not afraid of people talking about it here.

"Of course I know this, but what's the change in the court you mentioned?"

"In fact, I don't know much about the specifics. I just heard people say so. I just heard that the ministers who originally supported the prince on the court before began to stand on the side of the fourth prince after the prince left yesterday. Isn't it strange? "
