Yan Qi pushed over a cup of tea and looked at Xia Ming with a smile on her face: "Why are you so anxious? Master Xia? Stay calm and talk slowly. It's not too late to talk slowly."
Then he turned back and gave an order to Dong Chun: "Secure the downstairs and don't allow anyone to come up. Anyone who dares to break in will be shot to death."
"yes!"
Dong Chun immediately sent people to guard the downstairs and not allow anyone to enter or exit.
Xia Ming took the teacup tremblingly, took a sip, and let out a sigh of relief. He looked around blankly, confused: "What the hell is going on."
Xia Dongcao grabbed Xia Ming's sleeve and explained patiently: "Silly dad, it's like this. After you are taken to jail, our family will be in danger."
"Later, the Eighth Sage King ordered his nephew Qian Lu to arrest me in the Jiaofang Division. If I were to be arrested in the Jiaofang Division, my life would be in darkness."
Xia Ming became nervous: "Qian Lu is not a thing, but what happens next? How is it? How is it going?"
Xia Dongcao recalled the past with lingering fear: "That day was extremely dark. I had already made a decision. I would rather fight Qian Lu than let Qian Lu arrest me into the Jiaofang Division."
"Dad, you don't know that I am about to be taken away. None of your former friends are willing to stand up for me. All friends are just fair-weather and fair-weather."
"Just when I was desperate, Mr. Yan was not afraid of difficulties and led his people to save me from dire straits, and severely punished Qian Lu."
"After all, I am the daughter of a guilty minister. Master Yan was afraid that I would be harassed again, so he had to send me to work in the Spinning Department. Hehe, in name it was labor, but in fact, I was just hiding in the Ministry of Works, enjoying Master Yan's It’s just protection.”
Only then did Xia Ming feel relieved. Another doubtful thing came to mind again: "But, Xiaocao, you escaped from Qian Lu's clutches, how come you fell into Yan Qi's trap again?"
Xia Dongcao stomped her feet coquettishly: "Dad, Master Yan treats me well, how did I fall into the tiger's mouth? You are not allowed to arrange Master Yan like this."
"ah?"
Xia Ming was still confused: "Just now downstairs, Yan Qi kissed and nibbled on you. Dad really couldn't stand it."
"Oh, Dad!"
Xia Dongcao recalled the scene of kissing Yan Qi, and put a layer of drunken blush on her face: "Dad, you don't know something, we are acting."
Xia Ming frowned: "Acting?"
Xia Dongcao said: "Master Yan deliberately made a show to show to the lackeys of the Eight Wise Kings. The more pitiful I acted, the more rogue Master Yan acted.
, so that dad can leave the capital as safely as possible. "
Xia Ming is not a fool after all.
Hearing this, he already understood something.
Xia Dongcao blushed like crazy: "I can't act. When I entered the hall and saw Master Yan pretending to be a gangster, I couldn't hold it in anymore and almost laughed. If I did, all my plans would be in vain."
"Master Yan had no choice but to pretend to kiss me to cover up my embarrassment and not be exposed. In fact, Master Yan is very kind to me..."
"I see!"
Hearing this, Xia Ming understood everything.
Plop!
Xia Ming did not hesitate and knelt in front of Yan Qi: "Master Yan acted righteously for my Xia family. He not only saved me, but also saved my daughter. I don't know how to repay such a great kindness. My benefactor, please accept my worship!" "
"No, Mr. Xia, please get up quickly, please get up quickly."
Yan Qi hurriedly pulled Xia Ming up: "Don't be polite, Mr. Xia! I still remember that when I first entered the Ministry of Industry and was suppressed by Jiang Dongqu, you took good care of me. Now, we are clear."
Xia Ming was extremely grateful: "Where are the two clears? My help to Lord Yan is just the icing on the cake, but Lord Yan's help to me is a timely help."
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "It's a small thing, don't take it to heart."
Xia Ming was so ashamed: "Just now downstairs, I was very rude to Mr. Yan, scolded him very unpleasantly, and I still wanted to attack Mr. Yan. I was really stupid."
Yan Qi gave a thumbs up: "The more hostile Mr. Leaving the capital?"
Xia Ming handed over to Yan Qi: "Master Yan's superb acting skills made me dizzy. Only when there is a decent person like Master Yan in the court can Dahua have hope."
Xia Ming bowed to Dong Chun again: "General Dong, I misunderstood you just now. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed."
Dong Chun returned the greeting: "I followed Lord Yan's instructions and deliberately mocked you. Lord Xia, congratulations on getting help from Lord Yan. From now on, the sea is as wide as a fish can leap, and the sky is as high as a bird can fly."
Xia Ming returned the gift.
He thought to himself, if he went to Hongcheng far away, how could he be so high as the sky and let the birds fly?
That place was a wild place.
The ethnic groups are mixed and not educated.
Fighting for years.
To put it bluntly, although Hongcheng is a big city in name,
Hua's territory is, in fact, beyond the reach of Dahua.
Moreover, miasmas are everywhere, poisonous snakes are infested, and plagues are lurking.
If you don't adapt to the environment, you will be tortured to death in a few months.
Xia Ming pulled Xia Dongcao and handed over to Yan Qi: "Master Yan, please save my life. I will temporarily suspend my anger and let me escape from the prison. However, going to Hongcheng is full of dangers."
"I ask Master Yan to take care of my little daughter for me, and I won't take her to Hongcheng. I also hope that Master Yan can say a few kind words to the emperor."
Yan Qi smiled and shook his head: "That's not possible, Mr. Xia, I suggested the idea of you and Xia Dongcao going to Hongcheng to the emperor, how could you not go?"
"Ah?" Xia Ming's mind was buzzing.
The head is big.
I can't figure it out no matter how hard I think about it.
Xia Ming shook his head vigorously: "This... Master Yan, why... why is it like this?"
Yan Qi smiled: "You are very strange, why did I push you into the fire pit of Hongcheng after I rescued you from prison, right?"
Xia Ming nodded awkwardly: "I...I am indeed very strange and mentally retarded. Please clarify, Master Yan."
Yan Qi nuzzled at Dong Chun and Qi Ying.
The two took several people out.
There were only three people left in the room, Yan Qi, Xia Dongcao, and Xia Ming.
Yan Qi took out a painting and placed it in front of Xia Ming: "Do you recognize this painting?"
Xia Ming burst into tears when he saw it: "This is the last souvenir given to me by my mentor, Prime Minister Cao. I miss the people after seeing the things, and I feel extremely uncomfortable."
Yan Qi blinked: "Is this painting just a memorial?"
Xia Ming's eyes were full of doubts: "Is there any other mystery?"
Yan Qi smiled strangely.
"No way, absolutely impossible."
Xia Ming became nervous and looked at the painting over and over again: "Back then, I received the painting from my mentor and studied it for a long time, thinking that there was a mystery hidden in it."
"But I looked carefully for a long time and found nothing."
"Later, for some reason, the Eight Wise Kings found this painting. The Eight Wise Kings always suspected that I had some conspiracy with my mentor, so they were always worried about me and wanted to get rid of it quickly."
"It can be said that since I got this painting, I have become a thorn in the Eight Wise Kings' eyes and a thorn in their flesh!"
Yan Qi smiled: "The Eight Wise King's hunch is right, this painting does contain hidden secrets."
