Gu Shengchao looked at Liu Ximei crying so much that he felt soft and threw the half piece of talisman on the ground and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as Miss Liu doesn't despise me as a commoner, and is willing to accompany her to travel around the world and stay together for the rest of her life."
Liu Ximei slowly stopped sobbing and curled up in Gu Shengchao's arms. She murmured: "I have an idea that can help the young master not violate his conscience, and you and I can grow old together."
"Tell me, what can I do?" Gu Shengchao was curious.
Liu Ximei smiled and said: "Young master, you should send me to the place marked on the map!"
"Are you kidding me?" Gu Shengchao was also amused, "Since I promised to stay with you forever, I will not abandon you. I swear to God, if I abandon this girl all the time, I will die a bad death."
"Don't talk nonsense." Liu Ximei covered Gu Shengchao's mouth with her small hand, "I know that the young master is sincere to me. What I mean is that after sending me there, the trust of the escort agency in the young master is not in vain. Wait until the night and the young master will talk about it again." If the wall goes in and robs me, isn't it done?"
The ancient sage was shocked. He thought for a moment and said, "Girl, aren't you afraid that I will fly away and just leave?"
Liu Ximei shook her head and said: "Don't be afraid, the young master will keep my kindness in mind, and I believe that the young master will not do anything that breaks his promise. If that is the case, I will be willing to do so. It must be that the young master has some inexplicable difficulties and does not want to tell me. !”
Gu Shengchao was very moved. After they got up and washed themselves, they picked up the half piece of talisman that was thrown on the ground and rode away.
In the afternoon of this day, the two of them came to the house marked on the map. Under the high wall, a corner of the brackets and cornices could be seen, which showed the strength of the owner of the house. The two of them circled the house for a week before leaving. They hid the horses outside the city and returned to the house again.
There were servants guarding the courtyard gate. Gu Shengchao explained the situation, and soon another servant led them in. Gu Shengchao observed the surrounding situation while walking, and then took action at night. They walked for a while among the bamboo groves and corridors before arriving at the backyard, where a housekeeper came out to contact them.
Gu Shengchao took out half of the talisman and handed it to the steward. The steward took out his own half and matched it together, making it a perfect fit. The housekeeper took out another picture, and it was clearly a portrait of Liu Ximei. Although it was not exactly the same, it was very charming. Liu Ximei took off her mask, and the housekeeper was mentally prepared. His heart was shaking and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
The housekeeper called another maid and whispered a few words. The maid and Liu Ximei walked out together. Not long after, the maid came back alone and whispered to the housekeeper.
The ancient sage had excellent super hearing and could vaguely hear "It's that place, yes."
The butler nodded, then took out a letter, sealed it with wax and stamped it. "This is the remaining banknote. Go back and give it to the escort. Remember not to damage the seal, otherwise you won't be able to cash it at the bank." The butler explained carefully.
Gu Shengchao took the letter and left without looking back. In fact, he was uneasy and worried about Liu Ximei's safety, but he was just afraid of exposing any flaws, so he left in a hurry.
People say that the days are like years. During these short two or three hours, Gu Shengchao was also anxious to wait. He always felt that the sun was motionless, and he constantly observed the changes in the shadows under him. Finally, when the sun set and thousands of houses were lit up, he quickly put on the night clothes he had prepared, covered his face and climbed over the wall from the backyard of the mansion.
Gu Shengchao hid under a few tea trees, paying attention to his surroundings, looking for the house where Liu Ximei might live.
Suddenly, there was the sound of a piano, like a sudden spring rain, and sparse raindrops fell on the lake, causing ripples. Then the sound of the piano was melodious, like bright moonlight falling down, and the breeze blew through the willow branches and treetops, giving people endless reverie.
Gu Shengchao followed the sound of the piano and found it. In a small courtyard next to the flower house, through the half-open screen window, Liu Ximei was sitting by the bed playing the piano. Under the flickering candlelight, her handsome face became even more charming. She plucked the strings and looked towards the door.
A maid brought snacks and tea and stood by to serve them.
"There are young leaves in the bamboo forest in the front yard. Picking a few pieces and soaking them in water can dispel the fire. Go ahead and pick some!" Liu Ximei ordered.
After hearing this, the maid turned around and walked to the front yard. Seeing no one around, Gu Shengchao slipped over quietly.
Liu Ximei tuned the strings and was about to pluck them when she saw a dark shadow flashing in from the corner of her eye. She was stunned for a moment, then saw Gu Shengchao lift his mask, then put down the Pipa in his arms, rushed over and said excitedly: "Master, you are finally here."
Gu Shengchao whispered: "Keep your voice down, I will take you out right now."
"I don't." Liu Ximei stood on tiptoes and shouted loudly: "Here, help!"
"Auntie, you want to harm me." Gu Shengchao picked up Liu Ximei and ran away.
"Help!" Liu Ximei lay on Gu Shengchao's shoulder and shouted again, biting his ear gently.
In the quiet house, many guards rushed out from the corner and ran over with swords in hand. Ancient Sage jumped onto the roof, jumped out of the high courtyard wall in a few jumps, hid in the streets, and quickly left the city.
Liu Ximei hugged Gu Shengchao's neck and finally couldn't help laughing "haha".
"You're still laughing. You almost killed me when you called for help." Gu Shengchao blamed her, but he felt happy in his heart.
Liu Ximei hit him on the back, "Put me down quickly, it's uncomfortable like this."
"You deserve to be disobedient." Gu Shengchao walked quickly with Liu Ximei on his back. He was worried that someone was chasing him.
Liu Ximei snorted, "Since we are going to put on a show, let's do it more realistically. I call for help. The more people see and know about us, the less no one will suspect us. If we run away secretly, we will never be able to escape the connection. They will definitely suspect us."
Gu Shengchao thought about it and asked, "Then why do you play the piano?"
Liu Ximei breathed close to Gu Shengchao's earlobe and said, "I was afraid that you couldn't find me, so I played the piano on purpose. What if you couldn't find me and ran away secretly?"
"Naughty." Gu Shengchao put his arms around Liu Ximei's slender waist and held her in his arms. He joked: "You have maids waiting for you in the big house. You are so happy with fine clothes and fine food. You followed me out to wander around the world and have a good time. If you don’t continue, why bother?”
Liu Ximei pouted her little mouth and said: "I will follow the young master. I will follow you wherever you go. Although it is nice inside, it is like a cage. There is no freedom. Everything about you is controlled by others. It is like a pet in captivity. The owner smiled You have to laugh, and when the master cries, you have to be sad with him. The day you can’t accompany him anymore, the master will ruthlessly abandon you. That’s not the life I want.”
Gu Shengchao was moved after hearing this: "Miss Liu is sincere to me. I will live up to her expectations and live and die for her. Even if I go through fire and water, I will never give up."
Liu Ximei was very grateful after hearing this. She said softly: "Young Master, you don't have to be polite. From now on, just call me Amei, or Meizi."
Gu Shengchao thought for a moment, "Then I'll call you Amei from now on. What can you call me? I'm young, so just call me Xiaochao!"
"Xiao Chao." Liu Ximei hugged Gu Shengchao's neck and looked at him lovingly.
"Ah Mei." Gu Shengchao was also passionate.
"Superboy."
"Amei."
The two looked at each other and laughed, so happy. They joined hands to the place where the horses were hidden, took off the reins and rode away. I didn't dare to find a place to stay that night, for fear that the other party would find me, so I traveled all night and waited until I arrived at a small town at dawn before finding an inn to stay.
After washing up, the two of them hugged each other and fell asleep. Gu Shengchao asked curiously: "Last night, the maid went out with you and came back. She told the housekeeper, 'That's the place, right.' Then she gave me the banknote. What was it?" What do you mean?"
Liu Ximei was a little embarrassed: "Have you heard all this?"
"Of course, they thought I couldn't hear their whispers, but they couldn't hide it from me." Gu Shengchao raised his eyebrows proudly.
Liu Ximei whispered: "You also know my past. The maid accompanied me to the boudoir to check whether there was a mole on my chest."
"Is there any?" Gu Shengchao became interested.
Liu Ximei nodded: "Yes."
"How come I don't know." Gu Shengchao got into bed, and the room was filled with spring light...
On the way back to the escort office, the two of them were leisurely and had a lot of time to practice. With the help of Gu Shengchao, Liu Ximei quickly mastered the "Iron Arm Magic" and his internal strength also made great progress.
The two of them passed through a small town on horseback. The strong fragrance came from the tea shacks on the street. They were both hungry, so they dismounted and sat down under the arbor. After asking the boss, it turned out that the scent was their special tea soup. Each person ordered a bowl of tea soup and snacks to eat.
While they were chatting, a man walked over, holding a folding fan in his hand with a shy belly and a full face. The man passed by Liu Ximei and couldn't help but stop and take a closer look. He approached Liu Ximei and sniffed her, then reached out to lift the veil from her face.
Liu Ximei was so frightened that she turned pale and hid behind Gu Shengchao. Gu Shengchao said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, just beat him. If it doesn't work, you'll still have me."
Gu Shengchao's voice was not loud, but the man with a sinister face heard it. He laughed loudly and said: "Little lady, come on, come and beat me. If you don't beat me, I will still look down on you." He was fat. The face was thrust forward.
Liu Ximei practiced kung fu with Gu Shengchao, but she only fought with him and never fought in actual combat. Seeing that the man was really hateful, she raised her hand and slapped him hard.
"Snapped!"
The man was slapped. He got up and felt pain at the corner of his mouth. When he touched it with his hand, a tooth was knocked out. Suddenly he became angry and threw his fist at Liu Ximei.
Liu Ximei did not expect that this slap would be so powerful. She never expected that she would be completely different from what she was before. She had undergone a completely different transformation, but she didn't know it.
The man seemed to have great strength, but in Liu Ximei's eyes, his movements were clumsy and slow. She easily dodged and kicked the man in the abdomen. The man fell backwards with an "ouch" sound. He tried to grab something with his hands, knocking over several tables, and finally fell on his back. A bowl of tea soup happened to be placed on his fat belly, and the hot tea soup overflowed, making him jump up and scream in pain.
"Just wait for me and I'll ask someone to take care of you." The man jumped up and cursed like a shrew, then ran away holding his stomach.
