Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 224 Even if it means climbing over the wall, I'll still get out.

Thinking of this, Su Yue snorted softly, secretly plotting how to avoid being seen and climb over the courtyard wall.

Seeing that Su Yue was adamant, the gatekeeper had no choice but to escort her back to her residence.

Only after watching Su Yue walk into the courtyard and close the gate did the servant turn and leave.

At this moment, Su Yue and Dali quietly crouched by the door frame, cautiously peering outside.

He lowered his voice and asked softly, "Did you leave?"

Su Yue nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, they've already left. It looks like they're heading towards Lord Gu's study. Alright, let's hurry up and set off now."

After saying that, Su Yue withdrew her spiritual power, then winked at Dali, and tiptoed toward the courtyard wall near the outside of the mansion.

The two men nimbly leaped up and easily cleared the three-meter-high wall.

When their feet landed steadily in the quiet alley outside the wall, Su Yue first patted off non-existent dust from her body.

Then he glanced back at the Gu residence behind him, a slight smile playing on his lips, and snorted, "Hmph! You think you can trap me at this height?"

"Come on, Dali, I heard that Guixiangyuan here not only makes incredibly delicious pastries, but also has storytellers. Let's hurry over and check it out!"

Upon hearing this, Dali's face immediately lit up with excitement, and he nodded hurriedly, replying, "Alright, I'll do whatever you say, young master!"

After saying that, the two of them walked briskly toward Guixiang Garden in high spirits.

Before long, they arrived at the gate of Guixiang Garden.

As soon as they stepped into the store, the waiter greeted them with a smile and warmly led them to an elegant private room on the second floor.

In no time, five or six kinds of snacks were placed on the table, along with a pot of osmanthus tea.

"Esteemed guests, this pot of osmanthus tea is our shop's signature specialty. When paired with pastries, the taste is absolutely divine!"

Please enjoy your meal. If you need anything, simply pull the rope here, and a servant will come to your aid immediately.

"Well then, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave for now." After saying this, the waiter smiled, bowed to the two of them, and then slowly left the room.

After everyone left, Su Yue couldn't wait to reach out, pinch a piece of pastry shaped like a peach blossom, and take a small bite.

Instantly, a sweet aroma spread across her tongue, and the texture was soft and delicate. Then, she picked up her teacup and took a small sip of osmanthus tea.

The slight sweetness from the pastries was instantly diluted, just as the waiter had said; the two complemented each other perfectly.

"Dali, come and try this pastry, it tastes really good! But it's still a bit inferior to the ones Qiaoxiang makes." Su Yue slowly put down the pastry in her hand, which already had a corner bitten off.

She muttered to herself: This so-called Gui Xiang Yuan pastry is nothing special.

They were even being touted as the best in the world. Thinking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but shake her head slightly, a smile appearing on her face.

Meanwhile, Dali was completely oblivious to all of this. She was stuffing pieces of pastry into her mouth, mumbling incoherently as she ate, "Mmm... delicious... but Qiaoxiang's is even... even more delicious..." Because her mouth was so full, Dali could barely speak clearly.

Just then, Su Yue suddenly remembered that when she left, the maids had specially prepared a lot of snacks for them.

Especially the chestnut pastry made by Qiaoyun, just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

So, with a thought, Su Yue took out a plate of chestnut pastries from her spatial storage.

"Wow, the food grown in my space is definitely the best." Su Yue nodded in satisfaction, then took out a pot of freshly brewed fruit tea from her space.

Then, she leaned back in her chair and looked out the open window at the people coming and going below.

Guixiang Garden is the most bustling and prosperous place in the city, with two wonderful storytelling performances every day.

Su Yue arrived a little early today; the storyteller had not yet appeared.

After waiting for about half a cup of tea, I heard shouting coming from downstairs.

"They're here! They're here!" Suddenly, excited shouts came from downstairs.

Su Yue looked up at the sound and saw that everyone's eyes were turned towards the small platform.

Immediately afterwards, a series of crisp and loud sounds of the gavel striking the court rang out.

Then, a short, thin old man walked briskly onto the stage.

After he stood firmly, he first bowed to the audience below the stage, and then began to speak: "Continuing from the last time, let's talk about that day on the battlefield, where we saw the dashing young general on horseback, drawing his bow and aiming at the leader of the enemy camp."

In an instant, the bowstring twanged, and the arrow shot out like lightning, piercing straight into the heart of the enemy leader and killing him instantly.

The arrow's power was like a thunderbolt, terrifying the enemy and severely damaging their morale, leading to the loss of two important cities in quick succession.

At this point, the old man deliberately paused, keeping the audience in suspense, which made them crane their necks, eager to know what would happen next.

Meanwhile, Su Yue was also listening with great interest, secretly wondering what this legendary Prince Zhenbei looked like, and whether he was really as handsome, majestic, and dashing as the storyteller described.

The old storyteller always spoke haltingly and hesitantly when telling his tales.

It would abruptly stop at every crucial moment, leaving everyone's curiosity tingling like a cat's claws scratching at their hearts.

Just as everyone was listening with great interest and was still eager for more, he suddenly stopped talking and refused to continue.

This angered the many guests in the audience, who clamored for the old man to continue speaking for a while longer.

However, the old man simply smiled and waved to the crowd, saying, "Please don't be impatient, everyone. If you want to hear what happens next, please come back this afternoon."

After saying that, he packed up his tools and turned to leave.

Sitting on the second floor, Su Yue was equally intrigued by the unfinished story, especially the part about whether the Prince of Zhenbei ultimately married the princess of the enemy country, which made her eager to know the answer.

Watching the old man's departing figure, Su Yue couldn't help but mutter in annoyance, "Ugh, why did he stop halfway through the story! I still want to know if they're together or not!"

As the crowd gradually dispersed, Su Yue walked out while still savoring the story she had just heard.
