Chu Li put her hands on his chest, looked at the extremely strange man in surprise, and instantly wanted to get away from him.
"Fifth brother, I'm going to go to the house to rest first... Okay!"
He grabbed her hand.
"If I blink, will you disappear?" He approached her. "I'm a little scared, Xiaojiu."
"Fifth brother, I won't leave."
"You're lying."
He held her face in his hands. "I've seen you lie many times."
She has always been a tough person since she was a child. She can make up stories easily and tell lies easily.
He knew exactly which words were true and which were false.
She wanted to leave him.
Chu Yeli looked at her delicate face. Her eyes were still as bright as stars in the past. Whenever they saw him, they were always sparkling. But today, they were guarded.
Look down.
Looking at her slightly parted lips, they were as small and translucent as pink peach blossoms in spring.
He slowly lowered his head and moved closer.
Breathing intersects.
Gradually approaching.
"Fifth brother!" Chu Li suddenly turned his head away.
Chu Yeli seemed to have just come to his senses and let her go, "Sorry, I... didn't mean it."
Chu Li clenched his palms, hiding his shame and anger.
Having come this far, is there any other way for her?
Since he could take her out of the palace, he could naturally take her away and keep an eye on her. It would probably not be an easy thing for her to leave.
Considering their more than ten years of brotherhood, she was unwilling to face him in a life-and-death situation.
"It's okay. We've been traveling for three days since we left the palace. Fifth brother might be too tired." She pushed him away and ran into the house.
Chu Yeli turned his head to look, his eyes a little dazed.
tired?
It's just a test.
She doesn't like him.
inside the house.
Chu Li could not go anywhere except this square room, because she noticed that there were many people hiding around the manor, and many eyes were watching in the dark.
I'm afraid that the fifth brother is not as simple as he appears to be.
This departure from the palace was not an accident; perhaps he did it on purpose.
The door opened a tiny crack, and Chu Li stared outside silently, seeing people coming in and out of the courtyard.
Those people were dressed in ordinary clothes, but their legs were strong and they were all martial artists.
What did they report to Chu Yeli:
"Master, the itinerary..."
"master……"
Chu Yeli nodded from time to time and whispered something. The people below responded in an orderly manner. Everything was prepared, but they were a little far away and Chu Li couldn't hear anything clearly.
Seemingly finished his work, Chu Yeli turned and walked towards the side room.
Chu Li took three steps back and was about to go to the bed.
But I stopped.
When a man and a woman are alone indoors, the bed would be the most unsafe place.
He walked to the table and just picked up a book when Chu Yeli pushed the door open.
"Xiao Jiu?"
He was very surprised, "When did you start to like reading?"
Chu Li pursed her lips.
Is this a joke about her low cultural level?
"When I have nothing to do, I like to read books. Reading can make people calm down. From books, I can learn knowledge, expand my horizons, improve my knowledge, and understand many things that I cannot touch in my daily life."
"But you're holding the book upside down."
Chu Li froze and immediately turned the book over, her cheeks gradually turning red as she listened to the man's low laughter.
She choked hard.
What's so funny?
Her mind is not here, everything is just a disguise.
"Xiaojiu is feeling bored," Chu Yeli came over, "I have already arranged the next itinerary, and someone else will do it, so I can just spare some time to accompany you."
That’s not necessary!
He'd better get busy.
Don't worry about her life or death.
Gurgle—the stomach made an inopportune rumble. The man's laughter suddenly became deeper, and Chu Li was so stifled that his back teeth were almost broken.
This is completely different from the life outside the palace she had imagined!
Her plan is:
He escaped from the palace and, with the huge wealth he had accumulated over the years, bought a house in the south of the Yangtze River, where he drank tea, planted flowers, read storybooks, listened to music, cruised, and basked in the sun.
As expected, plans cannot keep up with changes.
"Someone come."
Chu Yeli gave the order, and soon, the people below brought the food.
The dishes were not as exquisite as those prepared by the imperial chefs in the palace, but there were fish, shrimp, meat and vegetables, and Chu Li was not treated unfairly in any way.
"Come, eat."
Chu Yeli pulled away the chair, washed his hands, picked up a curved shrimp, peeled it quickly, and put it into Chu Li's bowl.
Chu Li held the bowl and said, "I'll do it myself."
"There's no need to be so formal between you and me. Just fill your stomach first." He picked up another shrimp.
Chu Li held the chopsticks in his hand. Although he was hungry, he did not eat for a long time.
What Chu Yeli discovered:
"Are you afraid that I'll poison you?"
His eyes dimmed.
He took a bite of the peeled shrimp, chewed it and swallowed it, and put the remaining half shrimp into her bowl. "Are you relieved now?"
He was relieved, but looking at the half-bitten shrimp in the bowl, Chu Li looked embarrassed.
he……
What a food-thrifty person.
The leftover shrimps were shared with her.
Diligence and thrift are virtues.
She picked up the half shrimp, raised her chopsticks and put it to his mouth.
Chu Yeli's expression brightened up, "Xiaojiu, can you feed me?"
"I don't want the shrimps you've eaten." I returned the shrimps to him and bought him a new pair of chopsticks.
"..."
Now, Chu Li ate with peace of mind. She was really hungry. In order to stay away from the imperial capital, she had not been able to get a good sleep or eat a good meal in the past few days. Now she was wolfing down the food, panting like a pig.
Chu Yeli scooped a bowl of minced meat and egg soup and placed it next to her:
"Eat slowly, it's all over your mouth."
He picked up the rice grains from the corner of her mouth.
Chu Li felt that they were too close, so she lowered her head and focused on eating without saying much to him.
After dinner, she took a walk in the yard.
This manor is located in a remote, peaceful place in the suburbs. The owner of the manor is a tenant farmer who employs more than a dozen workers.
This time, they were entertained, probably because they were paid a large sum of money. The tenant farmers and their servants kept their mouths shut, spoke carefully and acted very tactfully.
Chu Li wanted to say a few words to them, but they all hurried away.
But he took the opportunity to walk around the farm, got to know the place, and found the location of the stable.
He took note of it and went back to rest.
Nightfall.
Chu Li lifted the quilt and got off the bed quietly. He was alert to the movements and sounds around him and moved towards the stable.
Have a safe trip.
Dive into the mess.
Six chestnut horses stood there, some sleeping with their eyes closed, some chewing hay, making the creaking sound, making the night even more peaceful.
Untie the rope and climb onto the horse.
"drive--"
The sound of horse hooves suddenly lit up the night:
"Master, it's bad, the Ninth Prince has escaped!"
Chu Yeli heard the voice, his expression remained calm as usual. He opened the window and watched the young man's figure blend into the night and run farther and farther away. He was not in a hurry to chase him.
Put your index finger between your lips and blow a special sound.
Soon, the sound of horse hooves that had left came back again. On the horse's back was Chu Li, who was holding the reins tightly, unable to control the horse.
"Xiaojiu, is it fun?" Chu Yeli stretched out his hand, and the horse became strangely quiet.
Chu Li then realized that he was riding the legendary BMW that would recognize its owner and understand human nature.
It is said that a well-trained horse will only obey the call of its master. Even if the master is several miles away, as long as it hears the exclusive call, it can quickly identify the master's location and come.
She pursed her lips and frowned, "It's not fun."
"Why don't you come down then?"
Chu Li had no choice but to dismount.
Just as she stood firm on her feet, Chu Yeli came over and stroked her face with the back of his fingers, "You are so naughty. Tonight, we sleep together."
