Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan returned to the palace, and first went to the study to see Kangxi, and the return had been completed, saying that Wu Yingxiong learned that the emperor suspected that he had sent the assassin last night, which scared him a lot. Kangxi smiled: "This also scared him a lot." Wei Xiaobao said with a smile: "I was only scared that he was fart, and the slave told him well, saying that this kind of thing, most likely there will be in the future, and asked him to tell Wu Sangui that he must be loyal and serve the emperor." Kangxi couldn't help nodding.

Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan took out a stack of silver tickets from their arms, and Wei Xiaobao said again: "Then Wu Yingxiong was desperate, so he gave the two slaves 10,000 taels of silver each, and asked us to help him say good things in front of the emperor and exonerate his father and son." Kangxi smiled: "Since it was given to you by Wu Yingxiong, you can accept it." You two little children, you can't spend 10,000 taels of silver in your life. Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan were overjoyed, and said in unison: "Thank the emperor for the reward." Kangxi smiled: "This is what Wu Yingxiong sent you, what are you thanking me for?"

Wei Xiaobao said: "Wu Yingxiong gave me silver, didn't it so that I could help him say good things in front of the emperor?" If the emperor refuses to listen to me, he will not give me silver. For me, although this silver was given by Wu Yingxiong, it is actually similar to the emperor's reward. Kangxi nodded with a smile, and said, "Didn't you tell him that the assassin was the thief of the Mu family?" Wei Xiaobao said: "No." The emperor told him in person, which made him more grateful. Kangxi nodded again.

Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan returned to their residence after exiting the upper study, and when they arrived at the door, they saw a little eunuch in the imperial dining room waiting on the side of the road. The little eunuch greeted the general and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law Gui, that boss Qian has sent another pig, this time it is called 'Bird's Nest Ginseng Pig', saying that he is filial to his father-in-law, and he is waiting for his father-in-law's instructions in the imperial dining room." Wei Xiaobao went to the imperial dining room with the little eunuch, and Xiang Yan returned to his residence alone.

When he came to the door, he shouted to Yan: "Little County Lord, Miss Fang, I'm back." The little county lord opened the door and said with a smile: "Brother Yan, you're back!" What about Brother Bao? Xiang Yan said: "Someone gave Xiaobao a gift, and he went to the imperial dining room to receive the gift." The little county lord said: "Brother Yan, someone came to the door, it seems that they came to deliver food, they must have seen that the door was locked, and they left without opening the door."

Xiang Yan said: "How do you know that the food is delivered?" Well, you smell the aroma of the food, but you're hungry, aren't you? When you're hungry, why don't you eat some pastries and snacks to cushion your stomach? The little county lord smiled and said, "You're honest, I've already eaten." Xiang Yan said: "I haven't eaten either, and I don't know if Xiaobao will bring food back from the imperial dining room, so I'll urge you to see it." What do you want to eat? I'm going to bring it for you. ”

Xiang Yan walked to the imperial dining room, and met Wei Xiaobao on the way. Wei Xiaobao asked, "Xiaoyan, where are you going?" Xiang Yan said: "The little county lord and Miss Fang are hungry, I will go to the imperial dining room to bring some food back." Wei Xiaobao handed a note to Xiang Yan and said, "Xiaoyan, you read this note." Xiang Yan took the note and read: "Gaosheng Teahouse said that the heroes are turning." Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed and said, "It's Brother Mao looking for me." Brother Mao has been busy some time ago, and I don't know if he is done now. If he is free, he can ask him to send us back to Yangzhou. Xiang Yan also smiled: "That's good."

Because Wei Xiaobao refused to return to Yangzhou for a long time, Xiang Yan almost forgot about it, and now he has hit the idea of Mu Wangfu again. Now that he suddenly brought up the matter of returning to Yangzhou, what does he mean? It doesn't matter, as long as it's good for me. Although Xiang Yan was quite reluctant to Fang Yi and the little county lord, it was really dangerous for him to stay in the palace, and the two of them would not stay in the palace for a long time.

When Xiang Yan went back with the food, he heard Wei Xiaobao holding a big sealed bag in his hand, and said proudly to the second daughter: "This Wu Yingxiong actually sent me 100,000 taels of silver." Those who see have a share, and we will add two to one and make five, and divide half of you. After saying that, he began to count the silver tickets. Xiang Yan also took out the sealed bag and said, "Okay." Divide your half. Fang Yi said: "I don't want Wu Yingxiong's stinky money."

Xiang Yan persuaded: "Miss Fang, when you oppose Wu Sangui, you must buy some weapons, you can't fight Wu Sangui with your fists!" Now that Wu Yingxiong is assisting you with 100,000 taels of silver to buy weapons to deal with Wu Sangui, why are you in a hurry to refuse? Fang Yi said: "Then thank you Brother Gui and Brother Xiang." Xiang Yan smiled and said: "This is Wu Yingxiong's money, why are you thanking us?" Fang Yi snorted and said proudly: "I don't thank Wu Yingxiong!"

After Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan handed the silver ticket to the little county lord and Fang Yi, Fang Yi said again: "How should we escape from the palace, you have to think of a way." Wei Xiaobao said: "You have to think about it slowly, you have an injury on your body, as long as you step out of this door, you will be taken immediately." Xiang Yan also said: "Yes! You're injured and can't move, so it's better to wait until you're better before leaving. ”

Fang Yi sighed softly and asked, "Our companions who entered the palace last night, I don't know how many people died, how many took them, and how many escaped?" Do you know the names of those who were killed? Xiang Yan said: "I took three live mouths, the three we showed you before." Wei Xiaobao said: "If you want to know, we will help you inquire."
