The Jinyiwei got up and walked to the table beside him and poured a glass of water, then handed it to Ye Ruliu inside through the iron railing.

Taking this opportunity, Shi Lang took out a small bag of sweat pills from his pocket and quickly poured them into the wine glass of the Jinyiwei.

"Come on, sir. I will give you another glass." After returning to the original seat, the Jinyiwei raised his glass to toast Shi Lang again.

Shi Lang didn't say anything, and raised his glass to drink with the other party.

"Sir, why...I... feel a little...dizzy..." After a while, the Jinyiwei covered his head with both hands and couldn't sit steadily.

"It's broken, I... too..." Shi Lang also pretended to be shaking, and then fell to the ground.

"There is something in this wine..." The Jinyiwei swayed his body and lay on the ground with his fingers on the wine glass.

Seeing that the other party had been turned over, Shi Lang quickly stood up, searched the key from the Jinyiwei, and opened the prison door.

"Brother Shi Lang!" Ye Ruliu had already further narrowed the distance between him and Shi Lang in terms of feelings, and she held Shi Lang's hand tightly.

"It is not convenient to stay here for a long time. Hurry up and put on the Jinyiwei costume I prepared for you. If you encounter a guard after you go out, don't talk and go straight to your way. Generally speaking, the guards here dare not interrogate the Jinyiwei casually." Shi Lang said, taking out a pre-prepared Jinyiwei costume from the table drawer and handing it to Ye Ruliu.

"Okay." Ye Ruliu took the clothes and quickly put them on herself.

"It's quite fit." Shi Lang tidied the collar of Ye Ru and Liu Liyi's top.

"Coup Shi Lang, what will you do after I leave?"

"Don't worry. I have my own solutions. Remember, tomorrow evening, we will meet at Ziyue Pavilion in the back mountain outside the city."

"Um."

"Okay. Then go quickly."

"Take care, Shi Langke."

Seeing that Ye Ruliu had safely walked out of the prison door, Shi Lang returned to the Jinyiwei and lay on the ground.

After successfully escaping from prison, Ye Ruliu went to an inn run by the Salt Gang outside Hangzhou to hide.

The next evening, Ziyue Pavilion in the back mountain outside Hangzhou City.

Ye Ruliu came to the agreed place early as she and Shi Lang’s agreement.

It can be seen that Ye Ruliu, who was standing in the Ziyue Pavilion and looking forward to Shi Lang's arrival, was carefully dressed up. She was wearing a light green double-breasted skirt, with a pink strapless robe inside the double-breasted jacket. Her carefully combed Japanese-dragoned hairstyle made her pretty face look even more charming.

As the sun had just set, Shi Lang appeared on the path under the Ziyue Pavilion on a maroon horse.

Looking at Shi Lang walking towards Ziyue Pavilion with vigorous steps, Ye Ruliu suddenly felt like a deer was rushing in her chest. Her heartbeat, who had always been strong in her psychological quality, began to accelerate. Seeing Shi Lang getting closer, she couldn't help but check her clouds.

"Brother Shi Lang, you are here." As soon as Shi Lang stepped into the pavilion, Ye Ruliu greeted him.

"How is it? Did it go smoothly last night?" Shi Lang's eyes lit up when he saw Ye Ruliu who had been dressed up carefully. He signaled Ye Ruliu to sit on the stone bench in the pavilion.

"It went very smoothly. Thank you! Shi Lang Ge." Ye Ruliu sat on the stone bench.

"Where did you spend last night?" Shi Lang sat down next to Ye Ruliu.

"After leaving the city, I went to an inn not far from here. This inn was run by our disciples of the Salt Gang."

"You're fine, I'll feel relieved."

"Thank you for your help."

"Don't be so polite with me."

"That won't work. I will remember your life-saving grace forever."

"Then...how do you want to repay me?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Ye Ruliu understood what Shi Lang said and smiled mischievously.

"You look very beautiful today."

"Is that so? Am I not beautiful before?" Ye Ruliu regained her playful nature and asked after Shi Lang.

"Look at my stupid mouth. I mean, you're more beautiful today."

"Well, that's about the same."

"When we first met, I concealed my true identity and hoped that you would not be surprised."

"No, Shi Langge. I understand you."

"Then why didn't you tell me your name?"

"How do you say this? Let's put it this way, after rescuing the Guyue people, I think you are very mysterious. So, out of a woman's instinctive self-protection, I thought about it over and over again, but I still didn't dare to tell you my name. You won't be surprised, are you?"

"How can you not be surprised? You don't know that people feel extremely disappointed and painful for this."

"Now, what do you think?"

"That day, when I found out that you were the one who was arrested, I felt an indescribable pain in my heart. After I brought you to justice, I did not go back to Hangzhou with the troops, but went home to visit my mother. At home, I heard about your deeds from my mother and had a comprehensive understanding of you. At that time, my mother had already known the news of your arrest, and she criticized me severely. I regretted arresting you. The moment I rushed to Hangzhou from home, I secretly made up my mind to rescue you."

"Auntie Shi is a kind old man. We two can talk to each other."

"Yes, my mother is a generalist."

"I really hope to see her again and have a good chat with her."

“There will be a chance.”

"Then... are you saving me because I am the leader of the Salt Gang who fights against Japanese devils or because I... is Ye Ruliu?"

"It's both. However, I feel that the latter has more factors. This person has been firmly imprinted in my heart overnight in Bailushan."

Hearing Shi Lang's answer, Ye Ruliu felt a sense of happiness in her heart. She couldn't help but stretch out her hands to hug Shi Lang's arm and leaned her head against Shi Lang's shoulder.

Shi Lang hugged Ye Ruliu affectionately and took her into his arms.

A cool night wind blew over, stirring the leaves of the acacia tree outside the pavilion to make a rustling sound. A refreshing fragrance of flowers floated over the acacia tree, cageing two young men and women immersed in love in a flower fragrance.

"Copy Shi Lang, I believe in fate now. The words of the patriarch of the Guyue clan are still lingering in my ears."

"I believe it too. Otherwise, why did I, Shi Lang, meet a beautiful girl on such a remote mountain road, not someone else? This is just as the old patriarch said, "If you are destined to meet thousands of miles away, you will never meet each other without destined to meet each other."

"At that time, I thought the old patriarch said that just to match us, but I didn't expect it to come true."

"In the future, we will visit the old patriarch again and thank the Moon Master in person.

"Um."

The moon rose. The Ziyue Pavilion was covered with faint moonlight. The lights of Hangzhou City not far away were dim. The Leifeng Pagoda on the shore of Xizi Lake stood high on the top of the mountain in the distance. The melodious bells were clearly heard from the direction of Jingci Temple in Nanping Mountain.

"This is the third time I have been here from Beijing to work. Somehow, I only really feel the beauty of Hangzhou this time. I am a little nostalgic about this place."

"Yes, the spring dawn of Su Di, the wind and lotus in the Quyuan, the autumn moon in the flat lake, the snow in the broken bridge, the willow waves, the fish watching in the flower harbor, the sunset of the thunder peaks, the clouds in the south screen, the evening bell of the three pools, the moon imprinting of the three lakes, the scene of which will make people linger."

"One day in the future, I will set my home by the West Lake and stay with my beloved for this beautiful scenery all day long." While Shi Lang said this, he hugged Ye Ruliu tightly.

Ye Ruliu leaned her head against Shi Lang's chest and carefully felt Shi Lang's powerful heartbeat.

The two stopped talking, hugged each other, quietly felt the beautiful scenery, and carefully experienced the warmth of love from each other.

After a long time, Shi Lang seemed to suddenly remember something, and he said to Ye Ruliu: "The whole Hangzhou City is searching you everywhere. You can't go back to Hangzhou anymore. It's better to find a place to hide first."

"Will the officers and soldiers go to attack the base of my salt gang in Luzhou next?"

"Very likely."

"No, I must rush back to Luzhou immediately and let my brothers prepare early." Ye Ruliu stood up from Shi Lang's arms, and her face showed an anxious look.

"Under the pavilion, I have prepared a horse and some money and food for you. Let's go down now."

After the two of them finished speaking, they immediately stood up and walked down the pavilion.

Shi Lang thought that he had done everything in a seamless way when he and Ye Ruliu met in the back mountain. However, he never expected that the whole process of his private meeting with Ye Ruliu was secretly observed by a man hiding in the dark. This person was either someone else, or the fat prison guard who wanted to invade Ye Ruliu but was kicked away by Shi Lang.

This morning, when everyone found out that the court was going to be a criminal in charge of Ye Ruliu and began to search, the fat prisoner remembered the scene when Shi Lang saved Ye Ruliu last night, and suddenly felt that Shi Lang was very suspicious. So he began to secretly follow Shi Lang. Shi Lang rode his horse to the back mountain to meet Ye Ruliu privately. The fat prisoner also followed him quietly. He hid behind the mountain stone beside Ziyue Pavilion and watched the whole process of the date of Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu.

The fat prison guard saw Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu walking down the pavilion, and quickly sneaked down the back mountain and ran into Hangzhou city.

It was the fat prisoner's report that left Shi Lang imprisoned.

Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu came to the red horse tied to a tree.

"Hurry up and go back to Luzhou." Shi Lang untied the reins of the horse and handed them to Ye Ruliu.

"But...my skirt..." Ye Ruliu glanced at the double-breasted skirt she was wearing, and her face looked embarrassed.

"Look at how I forgot about this. Come on, get on the horse, I'll take you back to the inn to change your clothes." Shi Lang said, and a princess hugged Ye Ruliu on the back of the horse. Then he flew onto the horse. He held Ye Ruliu in one hand and held the reins in the other, and ran towards the salt inn guided by Ye Ruliu.

In a forest not far from the inn, Shi Lang dismounted, then carried Ye Ruliu off the horse, and said, "I'll wait here, change my clothes, and rush back immediately."

"Yeah, Shi Lang Ge." Ye Ruliu responded and walked into the inn with big strides.

Less than a quarter of an hour, Ye Ruliu returned to the woods wearing a black windbreaker.

"Protect yourself well!" Shi Lang hugged Ye Ruliu in his arms and said affectionately.

"Brother Shi Lang, I don't know when I will meet again today." Ye Ruliu's voice choked.

"When we get through this difficulty, we will find a way to meet. Remember, no matter what the situation occurs, it is the most important to take care of yourself." Shi Lang gently stroked Ye Ruliu's back, feeling a little reluctant.

"Couple Shi Lang, you must take care of yourself too. I hope this matter will not implicate you."

"No. Don't worry about me. Okay, hurry up and get on the horse." Shi Lang gently pushed Ye Ruliu away from his arms.

Ye Ruliu wiped tears from the corners of her eyes, took the reins handed over by Shi Lang, and flew onto the horse.

Shi Lang clapped his palm on the horse's butt.

Ye Ruliu rode her horse away.

Shi Lang stood there, watching his beloved leave.

The red horse ran out about fifty meters. Ye Ruliu, who was on the horse, suddenly turned his head and shouted loudly to Shi Lang behind him: "Brother Shi Lang, I, Ye Ruliu, will always be your woman in this life!"

"Remember, protect yourself!" Shi Lang waved his hand to Ye Ruliu.

The red horse rushes its hooves and disappears from Shi Lang's sight.
