On the second day, Du Buyi and Xia Zihan moved all their luggage to Xu Yuanwai's mansion, and then began to settle here.

And Feng Niang and Tang Yan, who were far away in the Qiang people's gathering place, said goodbye to Duan Jueming, the former leader of the Five Poisons Sect, at this time, and began to look for Du Yi everywhere.

On this day, the two of them found the vicinity of Lady City again.

At this time, the two of them had eaten all the water and dry food they had brought for several days in the desert, and their lips were chapped, and they happened to see a city with people in front of them, so they ran over excitedly.

When the female soldier defending the city saw two strange women coming in, she came to stop them and asked:

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

Feng Niang replied:

"We are from the Central Plains Daming, and we are here to ask for some water!"

At this time, Zhuoya also walked over, looked at the two of them, and said:

"I'm Zoya, and I'm also the queen of this city, I don't know what you two call it?"

Feng Niang and Tang Yan hurriedly introduced themselves, and then talked about the hardships along the way.

Zhuoya said to the female soldiers on the side:

"In that case, let them in and give them some food and drink!"

After Du Bufu and Xia Zihan lived in Xu Yuanwaifu, Du Buyi taught both Yingshu and Yingqin to read and write all day long, while Zihan did some embroidery in the house.

Unconsciously it was March of the tenth year of Jiajing at this time, and Du did not forget that he was already twenty-eight years old at this time, and it had been more than a year since he and Xia Zihan entered Xu Yuanwai's mansion.

At this afternoon, Du Buxing was teaching Yingshu and Yingqin to read, and Xu Yuanwai suddenly came over and called Du Buxing to his room.

I only heard Xu Yuanwai say to Du Buxing:

"Mr. Du, it's been more than a year since you came to our house!"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Yes, sir!"

Xu Yuanwai said again:

"I think Mr. Du, you must be an immortal talent, I wonder if you can do me a favor?"

Du did not forget to hurriedly say:

"What do you need help with, sir, you have always taken such good care of me and my wife, and what are you talking about!"

Xu Yuanwai sighed and said:

"I have offended Liu Hong, the eunuch who guards our place here, and I am afraid that I will be robbed, so I want to ask Mr. Du for you to help me take Yingshu and Yingqin to leave first!"

Du Buyi was stunned for a moment, and then asked:

"How can this be, how can the master offend this eunuch?"

Xu Yuanwai hesitated and said:

"This Liu Hongnai is our Huangzhou Mansion town guard eunuch, last time he came to my house lightly as a guest, he fell in love with a pair of calligraphy and paintings in my house, so he wanted me to give it to him, I think he has nothing to fear about guarding the eunuchs, and my calligraphy and painting is an ancestral thing, how can I give it away easily, so I rejected him!"

Then he slowed down and continued:

"Then Liu Hong wanted to find the Huangzhou prefect Lord Liu to take revenge on me, Lord Liu and I have always had a good relationship, since I won't help Liu Hong, Lord Liu quietly brought someone to send a message to me yesterday, saying that this Liu Hong went to Huguang Town to guard the eunuch Lu Hui, this Lu Hui is Liu Hong's father-in-law, and he will definitely help him deal with me!"

Du didn't forget to smile and said:

"This eunuch guarding the town is really rampant!"

Xu Yuanwai said:

"No, I heard that this Lu Hui is a close confidant of the emperor in the court, and even the governor of Huguang has to listen to him, so I want Mr. Du to take Yingshu and Yingqin for me first!"

Du did not forget to ask:

"Sir, what kind of painting are you talking about, where should I take Yingshu and Yingqin?"

Xu Yuanwai took a picture scroll from under the bed, handed it to Du Buyi, and said:

"Mr. Du, can you take a look?"

Du did not forget to open the calligraphy and painting to see, it was obviously an unsigned landscape map, although the painting was exquisite, but there was nothing to look at, so he asked:

"...... this painting?"

Xu Yuanwai reached over and rubbed the painting twice, but a few handwriting appeared in the corner of the painting, and a signature appeared directly on it, only to see that it was written "Wu Guo Xu Zhi's work".

Du Buyi was shocked when he saw this name, and immediately asked:

"This Xu Zhihe is Li Yu, the ancestor of the Southern Tang Dynasty?"

Xu Yuanwai replied:

"Yes, this is the only biography of the ancestor Li Yu, and then it was introduced in detail!"

It turned out that this Xu Yuanwai was the third son of Xu Zhihe and was once the descendant of Li Jingsui, the emperor's younger brother, after Li Jingsui was killed by the crown prince Li Hongji, his descendants changed their surname to Xu in order to take refuge and lived here in seclusion for generations.

Du Bu Ji couldn't help but sigh and said:

"It turns out that Xu Yuanwai, you are also the queen of the royal family!"

Xu Yuanwai replied:

"It's been hundreds of years, it's nothing, since I told Mr. Du, you just believe you!"

Du did not forget and asked again:

"Xu Yuanwai, where do you want me to send Yingshu and Yingqin to take refuge?"

Xu Yuanwai said:

"My nephew He Sheng is doing clerical work under Wang Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and is now in Taiyuan Mansion, so I want you to escort Yingshu and Yingqin to Taiyuan Mansion for me!"

Du did not forget to ask:

"What about you, sir?"

Xu Yuanwai replied:

"I'm going to pack up here before I leave, after all, my family has too many things to deal with!"

Du didn't forget to think about it, and couldn't help but think of Zhang Xuan, and thought to himself, didn't I hear a few days ago that Zhang Xuan is now the first assistant, I might as well write a letter to describe the evil things of these eunuchs, and then see if he can help him present it to the emperor Zhu Houxi.

Then he hurriedly asked Xu Yuanwai:

"Do you have any evidence that Liu Hong is evil?"

Xu Yuanwai replied:

"Of course there is, the entire Huangzhou neighborhood can basically testify!"

Du did not forget to reply:

"That's good!"

Then he said hello to Xu Yuanwai, went back to the study, wrote a piece of paper, and then took it back and handed it to the master, and said:

"How do you say that?"

Xu Yuanwai looked at it, and then replied:

"What's the use of writing these papers? The court won't pay attention to them at all!"

Du did not forget to say:

"I happen to know Zhang Xuan, the first assistant of the dynasty, and I hope that I can help you when I send this paper to Zhang Zhang's mansion!"

Xu Yuanwai asked again:

"Is it true?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Of course, I'll have someone send it over now!"

Then he went out.

Then when Du Buyi came back, Jia Yuanwai had already prepared luggage and carriages for Du Bubu, Xia Zihan, Yingshu and Yingqin.

Du did not forget to ask:

"Is the master in such a hurry?"

Xu Yuanwai replied:

"I also believe in the pleadings you wrote, Mr. Du, but for the safety of Yingshu and Yingqin, I can only do this, I hope Mr. Du, you can take the two of them to Taiyuan Mansion safely!"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Okay! I'll take good care of them on the way!"

Then after Xu Yuanwai said goodbye to Yingshu and Yingqin one by one, Du Buyi drove the carriage and took Xia Zihan and Yingshu Yingqin to the north together.

The day after Du did not forget to leave, Lu Hui and Liu Hong came with a group of officers and soldiers, directly copied Xu Yuanwai's house, and then put Xu Yuanwai's family in prison, but Liu Hong did not find the painting.

It turned out that Liu Hong had heard rumors that Xu Yuanwai's landscape painting was still a legacy of the emperor of the previous dynasty, so he wanted to get it to meet the emperor of the dynasty, so he came to the door to ask Xu Yuanwai for it, but he was a gray nose, where to endure it, so he had to find a way to frame Xu Yuanwai.

And the painting was in Du Zhixin's car at this time, held by Xu Yingshu.

Liu Hong also seemed to find that the two children of Jia Yuanwai and Mr. and Mrs. Teaching were missing in the house, and he expected that the painting must be in the hands of the two children at this time, so he quickly inquired and found out that Mr. and Mrs. Teaching escorted them to the direction of Taiyuan Mansion, so he quickly ordered someone to start chasing.

A few days later, they crossed the territory of Huguang and arrived at Luoshan County in Henan.

In the county seat, several people got out of the carriage and began to find an inn to stay overnight, preparing to continue their journey the next day.

After waiting for a few people to settle down at the inn, Du Buyi prepared to come out alone to buy some books for Yingshu and Yingqin to study on the way.

Unexpectedly, when I walked near the city gate, I found that many people were surrounding the bulletin board, and Du Yiyi also followed curiously to take a look, and it turned out that the bulletin board was posted with the portraits and notices of the wanted Yingshu and Yingqin.

Du didn't forget that it was not good, so he hurriedly returned to the inn to discuss with his wife Xia Zihan.

I only heard Zihan say:

"It seems that we are in danger, I wonder what happened to Master Xu's family?"

Du Buyi also said:

"Yes, I see that the wanted ones are posted here, and something must have happened to Master Xu's family!"

夏子涵 says:

"Then this is not a place to stay for a long time, let's go quickly!"

Du did not forget to reply:

"The wanted notices are all posted, presumably the city gate is not so easy to get out, let's rest for a day, and we're thinking of a way tomorrow!"

Xia Zihan asked again:

"Will the innkeeper betray us?"

Du did not forget to think about it and said:

"Yes, then it should be no problem for me to send some silver to the proprietress now!"

Then he took some money and went downstairs to find the hostess.

At this time, the proprietress was discussing something with Xiao Er on the side, and when they saw Du not forgetting, both of them seemed to be a little nervous all of a sudden.

Du Buyi smiled and said:

"Boss, I have something to discuss with you!"

The proprietress calmed down and asked in a low voice:

"Are the two kids with you wanted?"

Du Bu Bu hurriedly pulled the proprietress aside, stuffed the silver over, and said:

"Those are two relatives of our husband and wife, how can they be the imperial court criminals?"

The proprietress was very happy and said loudly:

"Don't you say that I don't know they are my distant relatives, then I will definitely treat you well!"

Seeing this, Du did not forget to whisper to the proprietress and said:

"Thank you!"

The proprietress replied:

"No thanks, as long as you have silver, nothing is a problem!"

Du did not forget to be happy, and immediately asked again:

"And I asked, is it really not a problem to have silver?"

The proprietress smiled:

"Of course, when did my Aunt Qiu tell a lie?"

Du did not forget to ask:

"If we want to get out of the city safely, I don't know how much silver we need?"

Aunt Qiu compared a two-word with her hand.

Du did not forget to ask:

"Is it twenty taels?"

Aunt Qiu replied:

"I'm risking my life to help you, and I want to send my wife away at twenty taels?"

Du did not forget and asked again:

"Two hundred taels?"

Aunt Qiu waved her hand:

"Not enough... Not ...... enough!"

Du was taken aback, and then asked:

"Is it two thousand taels?"

Aunt Qiu smiled and nodded.
