There is Room For the Poor Daughter

In the dark and cluttered alleys of Nancheng, Xiao Yechi hid in a junk pile. He watched the last two men run out to lead the pursuers away, and closed his eyes in annoyance.

Prince Ping's Mansion.

Daohua accompanied Prince Ping to dinner, and then returned to Pingxi Hall.

Xiao Yeyang didn't come back until the next day when the sun was shining. As soon as he came back, Daohua woke up: "Why are you so busy until now? Has anyone caught it?"

Xiao Yeyang shook his head, took the handkerchief that Wang Maner handed over and wiped his face: "Xiao Yechi is still on the run."

Daohua was surprised: "So many people didn't catch him?"

Xiao Yeyang changed his clothes and lay down on the bed: "Don't underestimate Xiao Yechi, he was taught by the Eighth King himself, and the Eighth King is the uncle's number one confidant, and he has many methods."

Daohua nodded: "Xiao Ye can escape even if he is in the pond with dumb medicine and Ruanjingsan. It's really powerful." After speaking, he paused, "By the way, how did Luo Qiong die?"

Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment: "It was used by Xiao Yechen as a shield, and he was killed by an arrow."

Daohua: "Xiao Yechi didn't care about her?"

Xiao Yeyang sneered: "Xiao Yechi is busy running away, how can he care about Luo Qiong, not only did he ignore it, but he also pushed Luo Qiong and Xiao Yechen out to attract everyone's attention, so as to win a chance for him to escape. "

Hearing this, Daohua's face showed a look of sigh.

Luo Qiong is really an inhuman person, her husband uses her as a shield, and her lover leaves her alone in case of danger.

Seeing the exhaustion on Xiao Yeyang's face, Daohua didn't ask any further questions, she pulled the thin blanket over his chest, and quietly got out of bed after he fell asleep.

On the other side, after a night of internal force, Xiao Yechi was finally able to move his body. As soon as he was free, he climbed into the side wall, changed into a short brown suit, put on a straw hat, and went out to the street.

There was nothing unusual on the street, but there were more officers and soldiers patrolling. Xiao Yechi carefully hid in the crowd and walked quickly towards the city gate.

The city gate was open, but unfortunately, only allowed in and not out.

Looking at the heavily guarded city gate, Xiao Yechi's heart sank, he pondered for a while, then turned around and walked towards the inner city.

At noon, Xiao Yeyang woke up, and when he left the inner room, he saw Daohua squatting in the yard to feed the hounds.

Of the seven hounds that Daohua raised, Xiao Yeyang, Yan Wentao, and Yan Wenkai each went to one, and the remaining four, she brought two to the palace when she got married, and the remaining two stayed in Yan's house to guard the home.

"you're awake!"

Seeing Xiao Yeyang, Daohua gave the dog food in her hand to Bi Shi, and went into the house with a smile.

Xiao Yeyang knew Daohua too well. Seeing her lead the hound out, he knew what she wanted to do: "Do you want me to take the hound to catch Xiao Yechi?"

Daohua nodded: "Xiao Yechi should have the scent of medicine left on his body. When you go out, take the little dog with you, maybe it can help you."

After he finished speaking, he took him to the dining table.

Xiao Yeyang had no objection. Gou Xiaoyi was borrowed by the commander to run an errand some time ago, and it has not been returned to him until now. It seems that he has to find a time to ask for it in person.

After lunch, Xiao Yeyang went out with the dog Xiaoer.

A dog's nose is always smarter than a human's. That afternoon, he took Xiao Yeyang and others to find the place where Xiao Yechi was hiding last night.

At the same time, in the backyard of a pharmacy in the inner city, the old man in charge of concocting medicinal materials sneaked into the utility room with a bowl of freshly brewed medicine.

"Master, after drinking this medicine, you can speak."

Xiao Yechi looked at the medicine in the old man's hand, but did not immediately take it.

Although this person is also Wanwei, but he has not been in contact for many years, he is not very trustworthy.

When the old man saw it, he hurriedly took a sip before handing it to Xiao Yechi again.

Xiao Yechi took the medicine and drank it all at once. After a while, his throat started to feel a little itchy. He tried to speak, and found that he could speak.

"What's going on outside?"

Xiao Yechi asked in a hoarse voice.

The old man: "Jin Lingwei is taking officers and soldiers door-to-door to check the population, but all those who have no household registration and can't tell where they come from are all arrested and sent to prison."

Hearing this, Xiao Yechi's expression became more and more gloomy. After a while of silence, he stood up and said, "Continue to do your thing, and treat me like I haven't been here."

The old man nodded, and when Xiao Yechi left, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He is Wanwei, and he also knows his mission, but after years of quiet life, he really doesn't want to be involved in the war of power.

It's a pity that God just likes to joke with people, and the more you don't want to happen, it happens.

Seeing Jin Lingwei pouring into the pharmacy, the old man lowered his head helplessly.

Still haven't escaped!

Xiao Yechi didn't go far, he just ate noodles in front of a noodle stall not far away. The reason he left the pharmacy was because he didn't trust the old man, and secondly, he felt that the pharmacy was not safe, but he didn't expect that Jin Lingwei's people will come so quickly.

Not daring to delay any longer, Xiao Yechi put down a few pennies and got up and left.

Chengen Gongfu.

Duke Chengen and Jiang Shizi, who were idle at home, were talking about Xiao Yechi and Duke Wei's mansion in their study when suddenly there was a sound of heavy objects falling from outside the room.

Jiang Shizi quickly got up and opened the window to look out, and saw a dark guard lying on the ground with a grin, frowning and asking, "What's wrong?"

The dark guard hurriedly stood up and replied, "Master Shizi, a dead bird suddenly fell from the tree, and one of the subordinates was not paying attention, and his foot slipped."

Jiang Shizi's face was unpleasant, but he didn't say much, just instructed: "The city is not stable during this time, you have to cheer up."

"Yes!"

After the dark guard was hidden again, Jiang Shizi closed the window. However, at this moment, a figure flashed by, and then, a sharp dagger pressed against his neck.

The moment Duke Cheng saw Xiao Yechi, he stood up eagerly.

When Xiao Yechi saw that he was going to call someone, he pressed the dagger in his hand hard, and immediately, a bloodstain was left on Jiang Shizi's neck: "Engong Chengen, don't be impatient! Send your son away."

Cheng Engong was angry and worried, and looked at Xiao Yechi viciously: "What do you want to do?"

Xiao Yechi curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Nothing goes without going to the Three Treasures Hall. I'm here because I want to find cooperation with you."

Cheng Engong sneered: "I don't think there is anything we can cooperate with."

Xiao Yechi smiled and shook his head: "Eunuch Cheng, why do you have to be so absolute, it's not like your Jiang family has never cooperated with us."

Seeing the blood dripping from Jiang Shizi's neck, Duke Chengen asked, "How do you want to cooperate?"

Xiao Yechi smiled and said, "My cooperation is very simple, send me out of the city."

Cheng Engong directly refused: "This old man can't do it. Now the city gate is guarded by Jin Lingwei and the Imperial Guard. Unless the emperor orders, no one will want to go out."

Xiao Yechi: "Don't be in a hurry to say no. You haven't listened to me yet. What benefits I gave. The treasure left by the emperor, plus a gold medal for saving lives, how about it? Are you interested?"

Cheng Engong's face froze, even Jiang Shizi, who was still in danger, couldn't help showing his intentions.

Xiao Yechi saw that the father and son were both excited, and continued, "I know a little about the relationship between your Jiang family and the emperor now. The death-free gold medal may be of great use to you."

Jiang Shizi: "The death-free gold medal was given to the eight kings by the first emperor. You gave it to us, wouldn't you let us admit that our Jiang family is also a party of eight kings?"

Xiao Yechi laughed: "Jiang Shizi, it seems that you know too little. When the Xia Dynasty was established, Gaozu forged a total of three identical gold medals to avoid death. My father got one, and where did the other two go? So far no one knows, if you don’t say that the death-free gold medal in your hand is given by me, who can know the source?”

"As for the treasure left by Grandpa Huang."

Xiao Yechi looked at Duke Chengen with a smile: "You are a veteran of the three dynasties. You should know the state of the treasury in the previous dynasties. In order to leave enough wealth for my father, Grandpa Huang almost emptied the entire treasury."

Hearing this, Jiang Shizi was completely moved.

What they are doing now will cost a lot of money.

Cheng Engong looked at Xiao Yechi coldly: "Even if there are more, it is estimated that you will have moved them all."

Xiao Yechi shook his head and said regretfully, "In order to avoid being discovered, I didn't dare to do much when I returned to Beijing this time. So far, I have only removed half of the gold and silver jewelry."

"Mr. Chengen, as long as you send me out of the city safely, the remaining half of the treasure and the gold medal will be yours."

Cheng Engong narrowed his eyes and stared at Xiao Yechi: "You are so willing?"

Xiao Yechi shrugged: "What if I'm reluctant? Since the emperor already knows my whereabouts, he will definitely kill me. I can't stay in the capital any longer."
