A glance at the spring breeze

Chapter 14 By the Moat

There were two men in ordinary clothes in the house, one of them put away the wooden stick, dragged the fainted Eunuch Yu to a corner, took off his coat, tied it tightly, and stuffed a white cloth in his mouth.

Eunuch Yu's eyes were tightly closed, his middle clothes were tied around his body, his hands were tied behind his back, and his jaw was slightly lifted by the man's brutal movements.

Ruan Lan couldn't bear it, and wanted to follow, but was held back by another person in the room.

The person who pulled him was about 24, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and two mustaches growing under his nose. It looked a little funny. He was similar in shape to Ruan Lan, but he was very strong.

He stabilized Ruan Lan's arm, looked at him and said, "Young Master Ruan, in order to prevent him from leaking the news, we can only do this. After we confirm that you are completely out of danger after leaving the capital, we will untie the father-in-law. As for the safety of the father-in-law, you don't have to worry about it." , we will protect him to the greatest extent."

Ruan Lan forgot to look at the place where Eunuch Yu lay down, and sighed, "So, you want to pretend to be the two of us?"

If he and Eunuch Yu disappeared, they would definitely be discovered by the hidden guards, so someone must pretend to be the two of them and go back as soon as possible. Once discovered, he will be unable to fly.Since these two seem so confident, there must be a way to get the best of both worlds.

"Yes. The two of us are proficient in disguise, and are good at observing words and imitating voices. Please rest assured that the two of us have sneaked into the palace three days ago to observe your every word and action in secret, and we have always been tight-lipped , since I was hired by the princess to help you, I will not betray you. After confirming that you have left the city safely, we will disguise ourselves as the other two and escape."

"This..." It was so miraculous that Ruan Lan couldn't help but be skeptical.

"My lord, what supper would you like to have tonight?"

Suddenly, Eunuch Yu's voice sounded in the room, and Ruan Lan was surprised. She followed the sound and saw Eunuch Yu wearing ordinary clothes, with bright eyes, bright smile, and a pair of small canine teeth, walking towards him quickly .

Looking at this smiling face, "Eunuch Yu" doesn't look as pitiful as he has just been beaten with a sap.

The steps are small steps and sprints, which are a little out of place.

Even the pace of walking is so similar.If it wasn't for the clothes that Eunuch Yu was wearing, and if Ruan Lan didn't see Eunuch Yu still fainting in the corner, even Ruan Lan, who was with Eunuch Yu day and night, might not be able to tell the difference for a while!

It's so similar!

Ruan Lan was really amazed and admired by these two people's superb disguise technique that they could change into a living person in just a few sentences.

"How? Are you relieved, my lord?" The person beside him asked him.

"Eunuch Yu" took off his own clothes, put them on for Eunuch Yu who was tied up in the corner, and then quickly changed into the palace clothes.

The other person handed him a jade hairpin and a hat with two bird feathers on it: "This is a token of exchange between the two of us and the princess. As long as you take the jade hairpin and put on my clothes, At that time, you can mix in the theater troupe and leave with them. When you leave the palace, put on this hat, and you will be able to see the person sent by the princess to meet you. In this way, the mission of the two of us will be initially completed. "

After Ruan Lan took the crown hat and hairpin, the man turned his back and took off his outer robe, and put it on the arm of "Eunuch Yu".

"Thank you." Ruan Lan cupped her fists and bowed deeply to the two, "I don't know how to address you two."

Then there was a very short silence and silence, and when the man turned around again, his voice suddenly changed: "The two of us have been walking in the rivers and lakes for many years, and they are called 'Shen Chun Rong Zhi'. "

The man smiled at him, his clothes fluttered, neat and white teeth could be faintly seen between his rosy lips, and there was a very small mole on his right eyebrow.

This is……

Ruan Lan looked at the same face as her own, and suddenly felt that her soul had gone out of her body, as if she was floating in the air and peeking at her own body.

"He" picked up the uniform in the hands of "Eunuch Yu", and said: "Master Ruan, please put it on, we can go."

Ruan Lan came back to her senses, as if waking up from a dream, the man put on two beards and a pair of black and thick eyebrows for him, and then waved his hand across the air on his face, as if he had sprinkled some medicine powder.

The man probably disguised himself as his original appearance.

"In this way, you don't have to worry about being found out." The man turned his head and said to "Eunuch Yu", "Time is running out, please settle down with Eunuch, we will set off immediately."

"Yes." "Eunuch Yu" answered respectfully, and there was no difference from the original version.

Ruan Lan was walking in the troupe and went out of the palace with them.

The night is quite hazy against the background of the dim palace lanterns.

People in the troupe called him "Ashan", and two people asked him to carry an iron box with unknown contents, saying that it was given to him by the troupe leader.As I walked, the things inside rattled like bells and palms.

Almost everyone in the troupe is holding or carrying heavy objects, except him.

Ruan Lan didn't know how to answer at first, he couldn't change his voice, so he didn't make a sound.It wasn't until he heard people talking in the troupe that he realized that the so-called "Ashan" was dumb. "Ashan" just joined the opera troupe a few days ago. Since he can't speak, he can't learn to sing. He can only do some chores and help them.

"Ah Shan, what did you do two days ago? Why didn't I see you?" Someone in the crowd asked him.

Ruan Lan remembered that when he was in Cui Die Palace just now, the man told him that three days ago, the two of them had entered the palace in disguise to observe and imitate him and Eunuch Yu, which coincided with the time when Ah Shan left according to this population.It seems that there may never have been a dumb Ah Shan. In order to help him escape a few days ago, that person fabricated the identity of a dumb Ah Shan, mixed into the theater troupe, and waited for the opportunity.

"Haha, shouldn't it be time to go back and marry a wife? We, Ah Shan, are so old, it's time for us to marry a wife."

"Go, go, what is this old age? I'm only 25 years old. I'm in my thirties and haven't married a wife yet."

"I don't think it looks like marrying a daughter-in-law. No one would run back two days after marrying a daughter-in-law."

"That's right."

"Hey? What if he was kicked out of bed by his wife? Haha..."

"..."

Ruan Lan didn't want to listen to their swear words, so she pretended that she didn't hear anything, and walked forward dully.

"Hey, stop talking, you see that Ah Shan's ears are red, are you embarrassed?"

"Hahaha……"

After speaking, everyone laughed together.

The voice might be a bit noisy, the leading guard "drank" them and said sharply: "No noise is allowed in the palace."

All of a sudden there was no sound.

On the next section of the road, no one in the troupe dared to speak anymore, the surroundings were silent, and the continuous sound of dripping bells and palm nuts coming from Ruan Lan's box suddenly seemed very loud and very abrupt.

The group finally reached the last gate in the palace.

At this time, a guard stationed by the door suddenly stopped him.

"You! Stop!"

Ruan Lan suddenly felt bad, her heart tensed up.He raised his head and widened his eyes, and the guard was pointing at him: "It's you! Yes! It's you, why are you standing there, come out!"

Ruan Lan had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk out of the crowd, and the surrounding eyes looked at him as if they were watching a good show.

"What's in the box? Why is it so loud?" The guard snatched the box from him, "Open it and have a look."

Everyone stretched out their heads to look at his iron box.

The guard was standing erect beside him, with a vigilant face, holding a long|spear, and the tip of the long|spear seemed to be shining strangely and dazzlingly under the faint light of the palace lantern.

Ruan Lan did as she was told, and opened the lid——

"Pfft hahahahaha!..."

A group of people behind suddenly burst into laughter.

Ruan Lan looked down, and saw that there were only about ten pennies in the iron box, and——

A few pages of Spring | Palace Atlas.

The more self-proclaimed Confucian scholars are, the more shameful it is for people to discuss these absurd things in broad daylight. Ruan Lan was so frightened that she threw away the box with one hand, and the coins inside rolled out, and the spring palace map fluttered on the ground with the wind. .

In the painting, a posing girl and two burly men are doing that mediocre thing...

Ruan Lan blushed immediately.

Someone in the crowd behind said: "Hey, brother guard, Ah Shan is dumb and has no wife. He usually only looks at these things, so don't make things difficult for him."

"Yes yes yes."

Ruan Lan turned her head to look, and the people who made the sound were the two people who gave him the iron box before.

It's really unreasonable, Ruan Lan's bright eyes lit up with anger, and she couldn't help clenching her hands under her sleeves.What the two of them said before was clearly: "This is given to you by the class leader".

Seeing this situation, the guard frowned slightly and said: "Stop making noise, do you still want to leave the palace?"

The noisy crowd finally became quiet again.

The guard said to Ruan Lan: "You, pick up everything and pack it up!"

Ruan Lan had no choice but to squat down and pick up those copper coins and those erotic pictures that stained his eyes.

While Ruan Lan was picking up things, the guard kept his eyes on and walked around the troupe majestically with a long|gun in his hand. He had a burly figure and his steps on the ground sounded extraordinarily solid.

After picking it up, Ruan Lan stood up and found that the guard was standing behind everyone in the troupe. Those people dared not make a sound and could only look down at the elongated and terrifying shadow of the guard on the ground.

Long|The gun was also pulled longer on the ground.

At night, it looks like a monster that can eat people.

He seemed to be able to hear the sound of someone in the troupe gulping in fright.

The guard saw Ruan Lan put the box on her back again, and said: "Now, you can leave the palace."

When everyone heard this sentence, their expressions were as if they had passed through the gate of hell.

"Hey, I told you not to tease Ah Shan, we almost couldn't get out just now..."

"You heard that guard threatening us, I don't believe he dared to detain us."

"That's what I said, but it was really a safe bet just now..."

Everyone scattered like birds and beasts, and two or three asked each other if they wanted to go home together, but no one came to ask him.

Also, who would want to go home with a mute, that would be so boring.

Qin'er and that "Shen Chun Rongzhi" really planned well.

Ruan Lan walked out for about twenty or thirty steps, and seeing that the guards on the other side of the palace gate were no longer in sight, she took out the hat in her bosom and put it on her head.

The brim of the crown hat was so wide that it almost covered half of his face.

Not long after, Ruan Lan saw a carriage slowly approaching him not far away.

The wheels stopped slowly in front of him.

"My lord, have you been waiting for a long time? Hurry up and get in the car!"

He had heard this voice many times, and when he looked up, it was indeed Princess Yueyang's personal maid Bao Qi.

Bao Qi pulled him into the carriage: "My lord, please sit in the back, the princess told the servants a secret way out of the city that is rarely known to the world, we can go out of the city overnight through the secret way, and we are guaranteed not to be discovered by officers and soldiers. "

"Well. Sorry to trouble you."

"You don't need to say thank you, this is the princess's order, and the servants just follow suit."

After speaking, the carriage started to move forward, as if to avoid the suspicion of the people in the palace, the carriage moved very slowly at first.Bao Qi said: "When we are outside the city, we will hurry up and send you to a safe place."

They were walking on the quiet and deserted street, and there were insects buzzing outside the carriage.Suddenly, the carriage turned into a winding path, and it didn't take long before turning into another alley...

After turning around several times, the carriage finally arrived at the tower beside the moat.

Bao Qi went down to check, Ruan Lan didn't know where she had pressed on the city wall, when suddenly, a secret door opened on the side of the city tower.

Looking from the carriage, Ruan Lan saw that the secret door was extremely dark and bottomless.

It seems that there is a very long secret passage hidden.
