Chapter 1872 "Escape"
Chapter 1872 "Escape"
Wei Luting felt that the medicine given by Lou Tingyu was indeed effective. After using it twice, the wounds from being beaten with a stick healed a lot.
He was wondering when Lou Tingyu would come to see him again and how to talk to him.
Before I could think it through, Lou Tingyu arrived.
He was holding a bag in his hand.
When Wei Luting saw him, he was stunned: "What are you doing?"
Lou Tingyu said quickly and quietly: "What else can I do? Of course, I want to take you away from here."
Wei Luting was a little worried: "Leave? This is the palace, it's heavily guarded, how can we leave?"
"I have lived here for quite some time, and I know some of their guards. We have a pretty good relationship with them."
Lou Tingyu handed him a guard uniform: "Put it on quickly."
At this point, Wei Luting didn't say anything more. He quickly changed his clothes and followed Lou Tingyu out of the yard.
The two did not go out through the main door, and of course, they could not get out through the main door.
Lou Tingyu took Wei Luting through the house and the courtyard, choosing small paths and walking in places where there were no patrols.
After about two quarters of an hour, Lou Tingyu pointed ahead and said, "See? Go through there and you'll reach the small corner gate."
Wei Luting nodded: "Okay."
"After you get out, you must listen to me first," Lou Tingyu said, "It's curfew now, and there are patrols on the street. We need to avoid them."
Wei Luting was about to speak when Lou Tingyu pulled his arm and walked quickly towards the small corner door.
Before crossing the road, someone shouted from a distance: "Who are you?"
Lou Tingyu paused, not daring to move forward, and Wei Luting was also a little panicked.
"Don't panic, just listen to me."
Lou Tingyu protected Wei Luting behind him. The person walking towards him was Song Ping, and behind him was the patrol team.
"It's you," Song Ping recognized him, "Why aren't you resting so late?"
Lou Tingyu said calmly: "I can't sleep, so I'm just walking around. Don't worry, I've asked a friend to help me, and I'll be back soon."
Song Ping tilted his head and glanced at Wei Luting.
Wei Luting was worried.
Lou Tingyu whispered, "The princess gave me two red fruits last time. I'll bring them to you tomorrow."
Song Ping retracted his gaze and nodded: "Well, it's getting late, don't wander around, go back and rest early."
"Yes Yes."
Song Ping waved his hand and led his people away.
Lou Tingyu let out a light breath, pulled Wei Luting, and quickly went to the small corner gate.
The two left the palace smoothly.
Song Ping came to see Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe.
"My Lord, Princess, Lou Tingyu is gone."
This scenario was proposed by Lou Tingyu himself. He said that according to his understanding, Wei Luting was a meticulous person, and if he escaped too easily, he might arouse suspicion.
It would be better to insert a blockade in the middle to make escape more difficult and make it easier for Wei Luting to believe it.
Huo Changhe nodded: "The time is just right, and they will be prepared."
Yan Ruyu said in a deep voice: "Early tomorrow morning, go and tell Governor Cao to have him and Li Chengshi send people to guard the city gates strictly."
"Yes."
When acting, you have to do a complete set.
You have to have a sense of crisis, on the one hand to make Wei Luting believe it, and on the other hand to make those who want to catch Lou Tingyu believe it.
They have to be urged to act quickly. If it is too late, there is a high possibility that Lou Tingyu will be taken back to the palace again, and it will be difficult for them to take action.
The night passed in a flash.
As soon as the city gates were opened the next morning, double the defenses.
There are also stricter checks on people coming in and out.
Even ordinary people noticed something strange.
Lou Tingyu and Wei Luting felt it even more personally.
"Under the current situation, we have to stay here for a few days and wait until the storm has passed before leaving," Lou Tingyu handed him a few buns, "Eat first."
Wei Luting didn't have much appetite, but he really hadn't eaten much in the past two days, and it would be difficult to escape if he was too hungry.
I reluctantly ate a few: "Is it safe here?"
Lou Tingyu nodded: "It's safe, don't worry, this is where Brother Zhao lived when he was outside. He gave me the key before he died. I was thinking of leaving the palace and coming here to take a look, but I didn't expect you to come."
Brother Zhao was one of the few people who came out with Lou Tingyu. His team was in a really miserable state. Except for him, everyone else died.
Brother Zhao goes out the most and has more experience, so he is much more familiar with the outside world than they are. The clan leader also knows that he has a residence outside for convenience.
So, when Lou Tingyu said this, Wei Luting did not doubt it at all.
"We should also stay out less these days," Lou Tingyu whispered, "I'll go buy food and other things, you just wait here."
Wei Luting shook his head: "No, I will go. You have been in the palace for a long time, and many people know you. I am different. I just came, and they don't know me."
"But you are not familiar with this place," Lou Tingyu said solemnly, "What if you take the wrong road and can't find your way back?"
Wei Luting smiled lightly: "You forgot, we have traces, I can find you."
"I'll go out tomorrow and buy some more things that are easy to store and won't spoil. It won't be a problem to hide for two or three days."
Lou Tingyu said nothing, which was considered as his agreement.
He remembered what Yan Ruyu had said - if Wei Luting wanted to go out, just stop him symbolically. If Wei Luting wanted to go out, he must have something to do.
Wei Luting breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he agreed.
After dinner, they were alone in the courtyard. Lou Tingyu asked, "How long have you been out? Did the master just ask you to come find me? Do you have any other mission?"
Wei Luting shook his head: "No, no one from your team has returned. Isn't this a big deal?"
"Has this ever happened to our entire clan? Has there ever been such a huge loss?"
Lou Tingyu was silent for a moment: "So, when you got news about me, did you send a message to the clan?"
Wei Luting paused and said, "Not yet, because I haven't seen you yet. I don't know whether you are dead or alive. I don't know whether I can find you and bring you back."
"Instead of sending a message back and making the family head worry, it is better to wait until it is confirmed."
Lou Tingyu listened and thought that this was indeed the truth, but...
Lou Tingyu was no longer sure what he was actually thinking.
"Lu Ting," Lou Tingyu said after a pause, "Do you still remember? When the patriarch first mentioned leaving traces of silk, everyone was actually a little hesitant."
"Remember," Wei Luting smiled, "To be honest, leaving traces does have advantages, but it also has many disadvantages. In comparison, being able to find people is only one advantage, but there are more than one disadvantage."
The person who is "symbiotic" will be injured, weak, unable to fight the enemy, or even... What will happen if the person who is "symbiotic" is captured?
it goes without saying.
"I remember that you were the first one to agree to it," Wei Luting looked up at him, "and you even proposed to live with me."
Lou Tingyu took a sip of tea and said, "Yes, you have the longest experience and are the most mature and steady, so I chose you."
"You are the one the patriarch values the most," Wei Luting said, "Once we two agree, it will be difficult for others to say anything."
Lou Tingyu looked at the tea leaves floating in the cup and asked the questions that were weighing on his heart.
"Do you regret it?"
