Chapter 16: Late Night Absconding
In the early morning of the next day, a large number of people from the Yao family left the Purple Mountain Sect and returned to the direction of the Yao family by the same route.
"Brother Hu, take the liberty of asking, have you seen Second Master Yao?" Du Fan had been preoccupied, and it was not until he left the Purple Mountain Sect a hundred miles away that he asked Hu Daniu seemingly casually.
"Haha, it's the first time I've heard Brother Du take the initiative to speak after walking so far, Second Master Yao, I've naturally seen him, why do you ask like that?" Hu Daniu smiled heartily and asked rhetorically.
"It's nothing, it's just that I've been in the Yao family for so many years, and I haven't seen him once, so I suddenly remembered it at this moment and asked casually. Du Fan understated and explained casually.
"Actually, Yao Erye, I have seen it very few times, he likes to travel and food, so he often goes out to other countries, and after returning to Yao's mansion, he also lives in a simple place, and occasionally sees that his subordinates and disciples are kind and pleasant, and he is very approachable, so the Yao family has a very good impression of Yao Erye. It is said that Second Master Yao is not only talented, but also has excellent cultivation qualifications, as for cultivation, he is definitely above Xiao Da's housekeeper, but how it is, I'm afraid only the head of the family knows. The head of the Yao family had the intention to pass on the position of the head of the family to the second master, but because the second master was lazy and unwilling to pay attention to political and vulgar matters, he refused many times, so he did not mention it. Hu Daniu fell into memories, and when he heard it, he had great respect for Yao Erye.
"It's hard to draw the skin of a tiger and paint the bones. Du Fan looked into the distance, his eyes were glowing, and he sighed leisurely.
"What does Brother Du mean by this?" Hu Daniu was puzzled when he heard this.
"It's okay, I just suddenly thought of a sentence, and I didn't know what it meant, so I said it casually. Du Fan smiled slightly, noncommittal.
......
Half a month later, a group of people returned to Yao's house smoothly, and the head of the family personally greeted them.
After the head of the Yao family learned about the situation, he felt deep pity for Zhang Yan's matter, but he was quite satisfied with the trip, fulfilled his promise, and rewarded Hu Daniu and Wang Shan with a Qi Refining Pill each, and the two were naturally overjoyed. At the same time, Du Fan and Commander Han and hundreds of subordinates were rewarded with a lot of gold and silver, and they seemed to be very happy, but the dark whirlpool under the Ping Lake was only known to Du Fan.
......
"Brother Du, during your absence, I am tired. Before the sun comes out, I have to go to the Xiuzhen Academy to cultivate, come back at night to eat chicken legs, and I have to send food to Sister Ruoxi late at night, and I have to run back in the middle of the night to eat chicken legs again, and then I go to practice before the sun comes out......"
In the evening, Xiaohu came back with a sigh, and was first overjoyed when he saw Du Fan, and then began to complain.
"You're busy. Seeing Xiaohu come back, Du Fan put his mind at ease for the time being, and scolded with a smile.
"It's not very busy, it's quite busy! Alas, those who can work harder. ”
Xiaohu sighed heavily and walked into the room, Du Fan didn't have to think about it to know that this kid was going to get chicken legs. Seeing Xiaohu's appearance, under the smile, the haze that had accumulated in Du Fan's heart for many days dissipated a lot.
Until the moon was in the sky, Xiaohu and Du Fan had been sitting on the grass in the courtyard, one holding a chicken leg in his hand, nagging non-stop, and the other smiling silently.
Du Fan suddenly showed decisiveness in his eyes, and made a decision in his heart, turned around suddenly, and slapped the chicken leg in Xiaohu's hand with a backhand.
"Brother Du, what are you doing?" Xiaohu's mouth was still fixed at the moment when he stretched his neck and bit the chicken legs, and looked at Du Fan in astonishment, his expression stunned.
"Don't stuff it, isn't it time to send food to Ruoxi?" Du Fan's expression was solemn.
"yes, but it's going to be fine for a while. "The little tiger is in a circle.
"Do you believe me?" said Du Fan again.
"Of course!" said the little tiger.
"Will you listen to me unconditionally?"
"A must!"
"Do you want Ruoxi to marry that Wu Hao?"
"I don't want to!"
"Okay, go into the house and pack all your chicken legs, and let's go find Ruoxi together!"
"Okay! No, wait, what do you mean, Brother Du?"
"Don't talk nonsense, go quickly!"
......
Late at night, two sneaky figures shuttled through Yao's mansion, bypassed several courtyards, and after climbing over a high wall, they appeared in Yao Ruoxi's courtyard.
Under the leadership of Xiaohu's familiar road, the two came to the window of a house.
"The ground is Zhen Gaogang, and the West Mountain is a beautiful show. Xiaohu Yin and Yang whispered.
The corners of Du Fan's mouth twitched suddenly, and before he could say anything, sure enough, there was also a strange sound in the room.
"The door faces the sea, and the three rivers flow together for ten thousand years. ”
Du Fan's head was full of black lines, two years ago, Xiaohu was still young, Du Fan told him the story of "Lu Ding Ji" when he coaxed him to sleep, but he didn't expect this kid to use such a passage here, which made him cry and laugh.
The gentle footsteps of the people in the house slowly approached, the window trembled slightly, and it was completely opened in a short time, and Du Fan saw at a glance the rattan thing on the window.
"Hey, Du Fan, are you back?" Yao Ruoxi saw Du Fan at first glance and asked in surprise.
At this time, Yao Ruoxi's face was ruddy, still gorgeous, and there was no sign of hunger strike for more than a month, obviously living a very good life.
"Do you have a way to get out?" Du Fan looked at the dark green rattan covered by the window, similar to the rattan that Yun Qian's female spell turned during the battle that day, thinking that it was not something that could be broken by ordinary means, and his brows were furrowed.
"Actually, I can go out, but I can only go out once, my father doesn't know about it, this is my killer weapon, and I will use it again when it is critical. Yao Ruoxi said mysteriously.
"Okay, now is the critical moment, you can use it, I'm going to take you two away from home!" Du Fan said with a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"Running away from home?" Yao Ruoxi and Xiaohu were both stunned.
"Du Fan, when did you get the hang of it and come up with such an exciting and fun thing!" Yao Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, her eyes gradually lit up, and after her eyes rolled, she was already eager to try.
"It's not good, but it sounds like it's very enjoyable!" Xiaohu's eyes moved, and he looked very interested.
"Ruoxi, you must not marry Wu Hao, this person is not as we think, and ...... Forget it, I'll tell you slowly when I turn around, you can simply pack up the package and come out, let's leave now!" Du Fan was speechless at these two people, he was really a young man with a lot of joy, and he didn't realize his current situation at all.
After a while, Yao Ruoxi put a pink cloth bag around his neck.
"Stand back. Yao Ruoxi smiled.
Du Fan and Xiaohu stepped back two feet.
Yao Ruoxi touched it from his waist with one hand, and an earthy yellow piece of paper appeared in his hand, as soon as he saw this thing, Du Fan and Xiaohu both stared, obviously they both recognized this thing, Fu Gong!
"Hey, Ruoxi, this thing can make your house collapse!" Du Fan's heart jumped, and he instantly remembered the super-large fireball that killed the cultivator that day, his face changed, and he suddenly reminded.
"It's okay, don't worry, watch. Yao Ruoxi threw a wink at him, but he didn't care about it.
I saw her arm shake, and slapped the earthy yellow talisman towards her shoulder, the talisman seemed to be sticky and stuck to her shoulder shirt, and she herself became a little blurry in an instant.
The next moment, under the stunned eyes of Du Fan and the others, Yao Ruoxi passed through the wall with a smile.
When Yao Ruoxi stood in front of Du Fan, he made a grimace at him, and then took down the talisman on his shoulder, only to see that the talisman was shattered inch by inch, and finally turned into a little yellow light and collapsed and disappeared.
"Talismans are not all offensive and defensive, this is the earth escape talisman that I secretly bought in the Xiuzhen black market last year with five spirit stones, as long as there is an earth attribute substance in the obstacle, you can pass through, but unfortunately, all talismans can only be used once. Yao Ruoxi said proudly, and finally felt a little regretful.
"Okay, now is not the time to speak, escape from Yao's house. Du Fan suppressed the surprise in his heart and said solemnly.
The other two naturally had no problem, but there was still excitement on their faces.
Although the Yao Mansion was heavily guarded, the three of them were extremely familiar with the terrain of the Yao Mansion, and easily avoided all the sentry posts and the patrolling guards and courtyards, and after climbing over a high wall, they successfully escaped from the Yao family.
"It's so fun!" Yao Ruoxi gently patted her little chest, looking unfinished.
"Brother Du, where are we going next?" Xiaohu was also a little excited, his face flushed.
"After escaping from Tianxiang City, I will talk to you in detail. Du Fan only breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't dare to be careless.
"But now that the time has passed, the gate of Tianxiang City has long been closed, and now I am afraid that I will not be able to get out. Yao Ruoxi explained to Du Fan.
"If the guard combat power is, you can deal with it?" Du Fan frowned, he really ignored this question.
"This is the Imperial City, and those guards are naturally first-class elite soldiers, no less than my Yao family's armor guards. However, with the strength of me and Xiaohu, it will definitely be no problem to rush out, but it is bound to alarm the palace and make a big move, and our actions will happen. Yao Ruoxi pondered for a long time and analyzed.
"Let's go to the vicinity of the Tianxiang South Gate first, and then let's improvise. Du Fan made a quick decision.
At this time, in the dead of night, every household has already turned off the lights and gone to bed, there is a dead silence in Tianxiang City, only three figures shuttle in the dark night, and they are constantly approaching in the direction of the south city gate, and after more than an hour, they are less than a thousand feet away from the city gate.
In the main house of Yao Mansion, the lights are still bright, and it looks very special against the background of the surrounding night, and Yao Batian is sitting on a chair in the house, flipping through a classic.
"The head of the family, there is something important to do!"
"Come in. Yao Batian put down the classics and frowned.
Butler Xiao hurriedly entered, looking panicked, and before Yao Batian could ask, he had already spoken urgently.
"The head of the family, it's not good, the eldest lady has run away! At the same time, Steward Du and Xiaohu disappeared. ”
"What? bold!" Yao Batian's eyes burst into light, his big hand slapped the wooden table next to him, and he suddenly got up, only to see that the wooden table was shattering one after another, and finally collapsed and fell with a "boom".
