However, Luo Lan and Leng Yu went out early today. They took Xiao Lingzi, Xiao Shuangzi, Xiao Tanzi and Xiao Ningzi with them, and ordered Ayu, Ahou and Zhang Yuan to stay at Prince Yu's Mansion to wait for news. Once there is news, inform them at any time.
At this time, all the seven generals of Prince Yu's palace went into battle, and all the affairs of the military camp were left to Liu Dechang.
Old Wu ran to Prince Yu's Mansion, but the gatekeeper stopped him outside. He couldn't wait to say:
"Quick, I want to see the prince, I have something important to say."
"The prince and the princess left early in the morning. If you want to see the prince, please come back in two days."
Wait two days?
Hearing this, Lao Wu was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, and he kept asking,
"Where are the prince and princess? I really have something important to tell the prince."
Seeing his impatient look, the servant waved the sword in his hand impatiently.
"Is it your responsibility to take care of where the prince and princess go? Go back quickly, the prince will be back in a few days."
"But……"
Old Wu stood at the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion and stamped his feet anxiously. He kept circling back and forth, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan walked out of the gate. The servant guarding the gate did not recognize Lao Wu, but he did.
When he saw Lao Wu not far away, he asked his servant:
"What is he here for?"
"I don't know. I said I have something important to see the prince."
Zhang Yuan frowned and walked towards Old Wu.
"Old Wu, are you here to get the board? Go directly to the military camp. This is Prince Yu's Mansion. The prince will not handle matters in the military camp here."
When Lao Wu saw Zhang Yuan, he ran to him happily as if he had seen a life-saving straw.
"General Zhang, I'm not here to get a ticket. I want to see the prince. I have something very important to report to the prince."
Zhang Yuan expected that Old Wu was here to plead for mercy. He wanted the prince to treat him lightly. What important matter was this? Compared to looking for An An, this is simply not something worth mentioning.
So, he waved his hand impatiently,
"The prince is not here. You have something big to do. You have to wait for the prince to come back. Go to the military camp to get the board first. You can talk about other things after the prince comes back."
"General Zhang, I will go get the board. I really have something important to do now. You tell me which direction the prince is going, and I will chase them."
"You're not done yet, are you?"
Zhang Yuan saw that Old Wu was here endlessly and stared at him impatiently.
"Old Wu, you need to know your identity. You are the one who was expelled from the military camp. Letting you stand at the door of Prince Yu's Mansion is already a sign of tolerance for you. Don't be ignorant of good and evil. Leave quickly. I have something else to do. "
"But……"
Old Wu still had something to say, but Zhang Yuan had already pushed him and urged him again:
"Hurry up and get your plate. It's useless for you to come to the prince to plead for mercy. Military law is ruthless. The prince punishes you so lightly. This is already a huge mercy. What else do you want?"
"I'm not here to beg for mercy. I just want to tell the prince that I know the whereabouts of the second young lady..."
This sentence made Zhang Yuan stunned for a moment. He suddenly grabbed Lao Wu's collar and asked with a serious expression:
"What did you say? Do you know the whereabouts of the second lady? Where is she?"
Lao Wu pointed to his collar, and Zhang Yuan quickly let go of his hand.
"Tell me, where is the second lady?"
"In Fanjiatun, my uncle's house."
"What did you say? Your uncle's house? Old Wu, did you do this?"
Seeing that Zhang Yuan was a little excited, Lao Wu hurriedly waved his hands to explain,
"General Zhang, listen to me. This matter has nothing to do with me. I also found out by accident. Don't make false accusations against a good person."
When Zhang Yuan heard this, he grabbed his collar again and asked loudly:
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Only then did Lao Wu tell Zhang Yuan what his uncle had said, as well as the incident where the man in black gave his uncle and aunt one hundred taels of silver. In this matter, he Don't dare to be vague at all.
After telling this story, he added:
"I have asked my uncle and aunt to go back and bring the second young lady. I was afraid that the prince would be anxious, so I came to report a message, but I didn't expect that they were not here."
Zhang Yuan frowned as if he thought of something, and then said to Old Wu:
"Wait for me here and go to Fanjiatun with me."
Leaving these words behind, he quickly ran to Prince Yu's Mansion and shouted when he entered the door,
"Ayu, Ahou, come out quickly."
Now that there is news about the second young lady, he can no longer trust others. In any case, he has to bring her back to Prince Yu's Mansion safely first.
Ayu and Ahou ran over from the backyard one after another.
"Brother Zhang, what happened?"
"Quickly, send a message to the prince and inform them to go to Fanjiatun. The second lady may be there."
"Is there any news about the second lady? Is it true?"
"Don't worry about whether it's true or not. The prince said that if there is some news, we can't miss it. Let's take the people and go straight to Fanjiatun. We must not let anything happen to the second lady again."
Empress Ayu didn't dare to neglect, and ordered her people to rush after Leng Yu and others. The three of them took Lao Wu and went straight to Fanjiatun.
Just when everyone was rushing to Fanjiatun, An An had already arrived in Yancheng. She stood in front of a bun stall, carefully took out two copper coins from her arms, bought two buns, sat on the roadside, and started eating .
Although she was very hungry, two buns were not enough for her, and she did not dare to eat them. She had to save some of these copper coins, and estimated that she could barely fill her stomach in three to five days.
At this time, several beautifully dressed women saw An An. The leading woman waved her hand to the woman behind.
"Does that little girl look homeless?"
"Sister Hong, although that girl is a bit dirty, she looks pretty good. If you take her back, you may be able to make a lot of money in the future."
The woman named Sister Hong raised her eyebrows and motioned for them to wait where they were. She twisted her graceful figure, knelt down in front of An An, and asked with concern:
"Little sister, why are you sitting here eating?"
An An raised her head and glanced at Sister Hong, then lowered her head alertly and continued to eat the buns in her hand.
Seeing An An's high vigilance, Sister Hong showed a disdainful smile. Then she went to the bun shop behind her, bought two buns, and returned to sit down next to An An.
At this time, An An had already devoured the two buns. Just when she felt that she was not full yet, Sister Hong raised one of the buns in front of her.
"No, are you not full? I'll give you one."
An An looked at her and shook her head,
"No, I have money myself."
After saying that, she was about to stand up and leave, but Sister Hong quickly held her back.
"Little sister, are you from out of town?"
An An looked back at her and said, "Let me go, I have something else to do."
Sister Hong let go of her clothes and reminded her loudly before leaving:
"I know you have something to do, but Yancheng is not peaceful recently. Please don't wander around."
An An frowned and walked forward without looking back at her.
She didn't want to fall into the hands of bad people again. As long as she didn't trust anyone, no one would dare to do anything to her on the street.
Sister Hong winked at a woman standing not far away. The woman smiled knowingly, then turned and left.
