Ever since the so-called "love at first sight" with the young master, this Xu Xingchun has been extraordinarily diligent when he came to the Lu family, coming here every few days to gain a sense of presence.The last time I got an inkstone made by a famous artist, and I specially sent it to Mr. Lu in exchange for a pair of his "calligraphy". ...

Master Lu is a bit arty, whether he really knows how to appreciate it or not, these elegant gifts are more satisfying to him than gold, silver and jewelry—and the value is also very high.Master Lu knew Xu Xingchun's purpose of trying so hard to please him, and his attitude became more and more kind to him, and he was also very displeased with his disobedient bastard.

I woke up this morning and heard that the young master finally stopped his hunger strike. Obviously, the confinement during this period has had an effect.Master Lu scolded his wife, blaming her for doting on the child too much before, which caused all these troubles.When the servants reported that Xu Xingchun had come, he put on a friendly face and invited this lovely junior to go for a walk in the garden and look at the peony that was carefully planted a few days ago.

They drank tea and looked at the koi in the gazebo by the lake. When the maid who brought the tea and water passed by the small courtyard where Lu You was locked up, they whispered a few words about this marriage where one party was enthusiastic and the other party was unwilling to deal with it. It happened to be heard by Lu You.Lu You practiced witchcraft for another morning, and he was able to make the leaves float into his hands unscathed. He carefully followed the footsteps of these maids, hoping to hear what they had to say.

It's a pity that they were silent all the way afterwards, and in the end they only let Lu You confirm one thing: the effective distance of the sorcery is about twice the length of this yard.As he got farther away, the sound he heard began to blur, and it became difficult to control, so he didn't dare to follow.

Xu Xingchun is at Lu's house now... It's a pity that this sorcery can't convey vision, and the distance is not close enough.Lu You was a little hesitant: should he find a way to sneak over to have a look now, or wait a few days when the confinement is over and he has a better grasp of witchcraft?Delay for a while, maybe the next piece of information will come.

After lunch and the maid took away the plate, maybe no one would come to him on purpose until dinner was ready. Lu You made sure that Xu Xingchun hadn't left yet, and finally decided to act now.

He basked in the sun again by the window, covered his mouth and yawned, pretended to be sleepy and closed the window, pretending to go back to bed and take a nap.After putting down the curtain, he wrapped himself in the quilt and turned back into a fox—it is not easy for a human to find a place to hide, and a fox about the size of a cat is much more convenient.He was planning to use this form to secretly run to the gazebo where Xu Xingchun and Master Lu were staying, and he would come back after just taking a look.

In order to avoid being really unlucky, the scene of being found not in the room when leaving, no one left, and a set of clothes left is a bit scary. Lu You hid the close-fitting clothes under the mattress, and the outermost thin one His robe was folded, and he was biting it in his mouth, ready to take it away.He complained in his heart that the fox was too difficult to learn before, and he didn't know how to learn the sorcery of invisibility and moving objects, so now he can only use this stupid method...

...However, it is also possible that the fox monster actually knows such sorcery, but the system eats up the materials related to cultivation and use, so that he can't use anything after being put in.

"I told you that the information is provided by the target..." the system said quietly, "Also, if your thoughts are directly related to this system, this system can hear them all."

Lu You had his clothes in his mouth, but it didn't stop him from speaking from his heart, "I just want you to hear..." He got out of the curtain, jumped to the ground, stepped on the cool ground with his four little paws, and trotted to the ground. by the window.

If you don't deliberately think about which leg to step first and leave it to your body's instincts, as a fox, he is still very sensitive in his actions-he will never make stupid mistakes that trip him up again!The tables and chairs were arranged in advance, and Lu You easily jumped onto the chairs, then onto the table, and approached the window.

Observing the outside situation through the window, the triangular ears on the little fox's head turned slightly, and heard the sounds of several birds passing through the canopy.He controlled the demonic aura and startled the birds together. Taking advantage of this little confusion to attract the attention of the "guards", Lu You quickly got out of the window, rushed across the corridor after landing, and plunged into the bird's nest. Among the flowers and trees under the corridor.

The little fox with bright fur is holding the clothes in its mouth, walking close to the flowers, or passing through the gaps between the flowers and trees, carefully avoiding the possible sight from the surroundings.Fortunately, it was summer, and there were very few dead leaves on the ground, and the fine grass under the paws was soft, and the occasional sound was covered by the chirping of insects and birds.Lu You walked through the courtyard without any alarm, approaching the doorway covered by the weeping willows, and unexpectedly found that the guard who should have been guarding there had disappeared.

The guard deserted, just in time for him to slip out.The little fox quickly ran out of the yard through the door, looked left and right, and chose to hide the clothes under a clump of flowers and trees.This is a hidden place that is not easy to find, although it will stain the clothes with some mud and leaves.After solving the burden, Lu You hid for a while, using black magic to sense the surroundings, and when several maids were chatting and laughing as they walked through the gravel path, they followed secretly.

Standing above the wall and watching the whole "sneak escape" process, the white bird flapped its wings, flew down the wall soundlessly, and landed on the shoulder of the person who was showing his figure beside the door opening.The little fluffy fox just now almost ran out at his feet, but didn't notice his breath, nor heard his breathing or heartbeat.

He raised his hand and let the white bird fly forward along the path, while he slowly followed behind.

Lu You followed the maids for a while, and rubbed a few spots of his originally smooth and smooth fur.He originally wanted to follow to the pavilion. If Xu Xingchun was no longer there, he would find a way to find him elsewhere.That sorcery had a flaw, it couldn't be used when he moved by himself, so he had to stop after a while to listen to the movement around him.

There are many covered bridges and waterside pavilions in Lu's mansion, lined with flowers and trees, like a large garden with exquisite structure.It's just that although the scenery is beautiful and it is convenient to hide, but as he walked, Lu You found that he couldn't remember the way back...He poked his head out of the grass and looked at the empty gazebo by the water in front of him , feel a little confused.Turning around a few times, he was about to use the magic trick again, when he heard a familiar voice from behind the rockery not far away.

"...but don't say that..."

It was Master Lu's voice—Lu You had heard it several times during data transmission.It turned out that they had come for a walk in the garden after dinner.He ran over, and the holes all over the rockery were passages that the slender and flexible little fox could easily pass through. He drilled into the rockery and peeked through the gaps.

Damn, the other person was completely blocked by Master Lu's tall and wide body...

There were two people following behind them, one was Master Lu's book boy, and the other looked like a guard with a knife on his waist, but his clothes were different from those of the Lu family's guards, probably brought by Xu Xingchun.The guard had a fierce face, and Lu You felt uncomfortable when he saw him.

The person walking beside Master Lu let out a wry smile. "I'm too hasty." The speaker's voice was gentle, with a trace of depression in his sincerity, "I just met Yu Shu once, so I rashly proposed marriage..."

"Feather Book" is the name of the young master.If he can say something like this, this person is Xu Xingchun.Although his voice was nice, it was very strange, completely different from the person Lu You was looking for.Although it was basically confirmed, Lu You still wanted to take a look at Xu Xingchun's face.But when he moved around, his line of sight was always at the wrong angle, and there were always a few branches, a piece of stone, or a Master Lu blocking it.

"It's just being awkward." Master Lu said with a smile, "The child is reluctant to leave home, that's why he hides and refuses to see you. Isn't there a hunting ground in the northern suburbs? Let Yu Shu go with you when hunting in a few days. You may be able to figure it out once you relax. You have to seize the opportunity and show some heroism..."

Lu You pouted in his heart at this father.Seeing that these people were about to walk through the rockery, he could only see their backs. He couldn't help being a little impatient. His front paws brushed against the edge of the rockery cave, and accidentally knocked a small piece of gravel down.

The sound of the stone falling to the ground was very small, but the guard following behind was suddenly alert and held down the handle of the knife with one hand. "Who's there!" he shouted.The two people in front turned their heads, Master Lu's face was still blank, Xu Xingchun frowned slightly, but his eyes suddenly became sharp.This young man who spoke in a low tone when he talked about his "sweetheart" just now had a rather handsome face, like a scholar in white, with an elegant demeanor.

Lu You glanced at the face that was as unfamiliar as the voice, and quickly turned around in the cave, preparing to flee the scene.The guard had already strode over, using the saber in his hand to push aside the branches on the edge of the rockery: there was no one behind.His eyes fell on the grass that was shaking slightly not far away, and the gap left by something passing through had not been closed, and he chased after it without saying a word.

Xu Xingchun wanted to call his guard to stop him, but he was a step too late. When he spoke, the man had already chased him around the corner.He had no choice but to smile wryly again, and apologized repeatedly to Master Lu, saying that the guard had been by his side since he was a child, very brave and loyal, but he was a little brainless and made a fuss when he heard any movement - how could there be danger in Lu's mansion?

Master Lu didn't care, and even praised the guard a few words. "Maybe it's a wild cat. Wild cats often come to this garden and eat a lot of my fish..." As he said this, he couldn't wait for the guard to come back, and dragged his future son-in-law beside him to watch the carp in the pond.

At this moment, Lu You couldn't care less about bumping into the attendants on the road!He ran wildly all the way, crawling back and forth in the bushes, still unable to shake off the footsteps following behind, which made him want to growl: I know it's not "someone" who is eavesdropping or trying to attack, why does this person keep chasing him endlessly? !

He hurried forward along the gravel road, and the maid he met on the way screamed when he rushed by, and then let out a louder scream when he saw the pursuers-they chased and fled, It seems to have come to a place near the inner courtyard.Lu You rushed up the wooden corridor, and managed to shake off the people behind a little. When turning at the end, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

The fox's eyesight was very low, and Lu You only saw the black boots and a corner of the clothes - he had seen this style of clothes several times when he was in a daze at the window, and they were the guards in the mansion.He hurriedly jumped to the side, praying that this person would not try to kick him, quickly sprinted past his feet, and when he was about to rush into the bushes, he suddenly stopped.

——Several white things sprang out from the grass, which looked like snakes. From the touch and thickness, I knew they were paper strips, but they were stronger than ordinary ropes.Lu You was caught off guard by this unexpected attack and fell down immediately under the action of inertia, rolling into the grass.His mouth was also tightly bound by the note, and he only let out a low "woo" in panic.The broken grass fell on him, and there was a green smell of grass juice.

Footsteps approached.Two fingers pinched the soft skin on the back of his neck, and lifted the immobile fox from the ground.Lu You turned around half a circle, and his gaze rose from the waist of the guard uniform to his chest. Before he could see his face, he was put into the arms of the person who caught him—the palm rested on his soft belly Underneath, using the arms and chest as support at the same time, half grasped and half hugged him to fix him.

A hand removed the blade from the top of his head, and pressed down viciously on his nervously pricked ears.A voice that was more or less expected by him, but younger than he expected, sounded above him with a smile.

"Hush, don't make any noise." The young man in the uniform of Lu Mansion's guard lowered his voice and said with a smile, "I'll let you watch something interesting."

Lu You, whose mouth was still tightly tied by a note, couldn't even open his mouth: "..." He was hugged by this man who appeared from nowhere, and returned to the wooden corridor majestically.Standing not far away was the guard of the Xu family who had been chasing him all the way. The man seemed unaware of the one person and one fox who appeared a few steps away. He frowned and looked around, as if he was still searching the prey.

He walked back and forth on the wooden corridor twice, and looked behind the wall again. After a while, he finally gave up.Lu You was waiting for this obsessive guard to return to Xu Xingchun along the original road, but saw that he did not leave in a hurry, but reached into the lapel of his clothes and took out a piece of dark yellow paper.

The originally folded paper was unfolded in his hands, and the guard's figure fluctuated, and then quickly became transparent and disappeared in place.But Lu You felt that the hand that was pinching his ear just now slipped down and caressed in front of his eyes, and the figure of Xu's guard appeared in his eyes again.The man looked around, jumped down the corridor, and went straight to the inner courtyard of the Lu residence.
