If he were a tactful person, he would probably have helped her out of the lie with great elegance, but Zhao Yilou obviously wasnt. He almost thoughtlessly and ruthlessly exposed it, "I dare to swear to heaven, it was your stomach that growled."

  The soldiers on that side almost burst out laughing, but because they had seen Gong Sun Yu being very polite to her before, they all held back and didnt dare make a sound.

  "Really? Maybe I misheard." Song Chuyis face had always been thick-skinned, and it was only getting thicker. For such a trivial matter, she wouldnt have the slightest feeling of shame or embarrassment. This was also because she had come into contact with Taoist ideas quite often.

  Scholars consider a persons virtues, qualities and reputation to be more important than their fate, and the Tao Te Ching says "The superior virtue is not virtuous, and thus has virtue; the inferior virtue does not lose virtue, and thus has no virtue."

  The meaning of this sentence is that a truly virtuous persons moral character is natural, simple and internal, so on the surface it seems to have no trace of "virtue", but in fact virtue has already been absorbed into their bones. This kind of virtue is superior virtue. In contrast, ordinary peoples moral integrity is influenced by external factors, is superficial, external and formal, so although they may exhibit various manifestations of "virtue", they are actually quite far from the true natural nature of "virtue". This kind of virtue is inferior virtue.

  In other words, Taoists do not pursue superficial elegance and moral integrity of Confucian gentlemen.

  And regardless of whether Song had a bone in her body, she took the second half of the sentence as a warning for life and carried it out very thoroughly.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one was so hungry that it was unbearable, and hunger made people feel cold. She had no choice but to shrink together with Zhao Yi Lou, from time to time stealing glances at the roasted rabbit on the other side.

  "Mr. Huai Jin." A soldier who had received Gong Sun Valleys order brought over half a rabbit.

  This was the plumpest of those few rabbits, Song Chu Yi didnt show any politeness and thanked Gong Sun Gu Dao, took over the rabbit meat and shared it with Zhao Yi Lou.

  Zhao Yilou usually didnt connect his meals, so once he had food, he would definitely leave some behind. When Song Chuyi saw him eating and couldnt bear to eat it all up, she said, "No need to leave any, finish it all."

  Zhao Yilou hesitated for a moment, seeing Song Chuyi devouring the meat with gusto, and he no longer held back. He had previously dreamed of being able to eat meat to his hearts content one day, which in his opinion was a goal that required striving for a lifetime. Until yesterday, he had never dared to indulge in such luxury lightly, yet his dream came true so quickly, it felt like a dream come true.

  After a hearty meal, Gong Sun Valley seemed somewhat tired, and those soldiers were also exhausted, taking turns to rest.

  After about half a time, Song Chuyi saw that except for the two guarding soldiers, everyone else seemed to be asleep. He stretched out his hand and pulled Zhao Yilou, using a tree branch to draw a picture on the ground for him to see.

  After finishing drawing, Song Chu Yi asked him with her eyes: Did you understand?

  Zhao Yi Lou stared at the picture for a while before nodding slightly.

  Song Chu looked at him and whispered, "You didnt say you needed to pee?"

  Earlier, Song had secretly told him that once he said "small solution", it meant to ambush in the woods and escape after knocking out the soldiers.

  Zhao Yilou didnt understand why Gong Sunyu was being so polite to her, yet still wanted to escape. But he thought Song Chuyi was a talented person and his decisions shouldnt be wrong, and he was also afraid of these soldiers, so he hesitated for a moment before getting up and walking into the forest.

  These past few days, Zhao Yi Lou has been going to that forest to resolve the issue. Two soldiers have been keeping an eye on him and not letting him enter the forest, but when they see Song Chu Yi is still there, they also dont follow him in.

  After a while, Song Chuyi became somewhat anxious, constantly looking into the woods, and after another moment, he started to stand up and look around.

  "Two strong men." Song Chu spoke in a low voice, fearing that a loud noise would wake up others. She said sincerely, "There are fierce tigers in this forest, my brother has been in the forest for so long and hasnt come back yet, Im worried, can you go with me to take a look?"

  Two soldiers thought for a while, and then one of them said, "This place cant be left unguarded. Ill accompany you to take a look, but we cant go far and must return quickly."

  "Yes, yes, thank you, young man." Song Chuyi hastily whispered his thanks.

  The soldier took the bronze sword and went with Song Chuyi into the forest.

  At the beginning of Song, a pair was not very familiar with this piece, only passing through it once when they went up the mountain yesterday. She followed the footprints trampled in the withered grass and walked as close as possible to where she could attack him.

  They must knock out the soldier with one move, without making any noise, otherwise they will wake up others and not only cant escape but also may bring about a fatal disaster.

  I dont know if Zhao Yilou understood it or not! Song ChuYi was a bit worried, if it wasnt for GongSunGu having intentionally or unintentionally kept an eye on her, even going to the bathroom would have someone following, she would definitely choose to take matters into her own hands.

  "There are no footprints anymore." Song Chuyi muttered to himself as his footsteps came to a stop.

  The soldier frowned and said, "There are no animal footprints nearby either, could it be..."

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, a young woman named Yi was walking in the woods when she stumbled upon a group of soldiers. She hid behind a bush and watched as they approached. One of the soldiers was about to walk under a nearby tree, so she intentionally let out a soft "ah" sound.

  The soldier was indeed startled and stopped in his tracks, "What did you find, sir?"

  Song Chuoyi lowered his voice and leaned in close to him, saying, "I suppose youve also guessed that someone must be hiding in ambush. However, although the footprints lead here, they are still some distance away from the tree. Unless a person can fly over, its impossible for them to hide under that tree."

  As he spoke, Song Chuyi pulled him around and continued in a low voice, "I guess theyre deliberately leaving footprints ahead to confuse us. Once we follow the footprints, they can sneak up on us from behind."

  "What great talent!" The soldier exclaimed and was about to return to search.

  Just as he had taken a step forward, there was a loud thud and the soldier fell to the ground.

  Song Chu turned his head and saw Zhao Yi Lou still holding a large wooden stick in his hand. Although he was thin, his strength was considerable, and with the meal he had just eaten, anyone who was hit by this stick would find it hard not to faint.

  "Lets hurry!" Song Chuyi said immediately.

  Zhao Yi Lou dropped the wooden stick in his hand, turned around and pulled out a bundle of dry grass from the tree hole, then ran wildly with Song Chu Yi until they left the forest before slowing down.

  "Where are we going?" Zhao Yilou panted and asked.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one early morning, he was already panting and couldnt catch his breath. After a while, he said, "Toward the direction of Wei State, do you know which way to go?"

  "Over there."

  The two of them didnt stop and ran quickly in that direction.

  Zhao Yi Lou ran alongside and couldnt help but ask out loud, "I saw that General Gong Sun treat you with great respect, he accepted everything you said without hesitation, so why do we still need to escape?"

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one step at a time, without stopping, "When did he ever listen to what I had to say?"

  "You said let him return to Zhao State, he immediately wants to return." Zhao Yi Lou didnt know that this wasnt considered humble acceptance, what would be?
