Morning glow, rising from the sea level.

When Wu Haogu opened his eyes, it was already dawn!

There was a sound of sorting things outside the house, thinking that it was the two brothers Guo Jing and Liu Wuji who were helping Wu Haogu pack up outside.

Because Pan Daguan still has to stay in Haizhou for a while, Pan Qiaolian naturally can't go on the road with Wu Haogu anymore. Therefore, today is the day when Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian say goodbye for a while and embark on their return journey.

However, Wu Haogu will not go straight to Kaifeng Mansion. On the one hand, it is because nearly one-third of the calligraphy and paintings he brought out from Kaifeng Mansion this time have not been sold; On the other hand, Pan Daguan brought a request from Pan Xiaoyan, the head of the Pan family, to see Wu Haogu, which is not easy to refuse, after all, Wu Haogu still wants to be the Pan family's son-in-law.

Therefore, Wu Haogu was ready to make a detour to Yanzhou, Jeju, Daimyofu and Xiangzhou before returning to Kaifeng Mansion in the end.

Because Ximen Qing had said to Wu Haogu that he would go back to Yanggu County, Wu Haogu let Hua Manshan go to Ximen Tang and asked Ximen Qing to go on the road together.

And today is the day to set off on the road with Ximenqing.

Guo Jing, Liu Wuji and Zhang Xizai packed up the afternoon before yesterday and prepared to go.

Because Pan Qiaolian will not accompany her, and the number of calligraphy and paintings she carries has also decreased by more than two-thirds. So this time it was much easier to get on the road, no more chariots were hired, everyone rode on horses, and two pack horses were hired to carry Li and calligraphy and paintings.

In addition, Mi Youren, who followed Wu Haogu on the road, also packed up easels, brushes, raw and cooked rice paper, raw and cooked painting silk, inkstones and various pigments, all of which were prepared one by one. Not to mention, Mi Youren, an apprentice, can still be of a lot of use!

Wu Haogu got up and got out of bed and walked out of the room to get ready to wash.

"Da Lang, breakfast is ready, come and eat."

Pan Qiaolian didn't know when she also went outside, still dressed in men's clothes, but she couldn't hide the enchantment.

She looked calm, as if nothing had happened last night.

"Da Lang, everything is packed for you."

Pan Qiaolian put a burden on the chair beside Wu Haogu, and said with some nagging: "When you go out, you always need to bring enough silver, and the slave has a cowhide poster bag here, and there are more than 20 small silver collars in it."

By the way, there is also this Xia Ren sword, which the slave asked for from Brother Eleven.

It's a pity that Dalang doesn't know martial arts, but he can defend himself by holding it in his hand. This time you are going to go to the Hebei boundary is not very good, I don't know how many big floods have been sent in the past few decades, and many people can't survive, so they fall into the grass. So you have to be careful......"

Pan Qiaolian's words were very calm. But that chatter made Wu Haogu feel really concerned.

"Mrs. Pan, don't worry about Da Lang." Guo Jing patted his chest and said to Pan Qiaolian, "A certain and Liu Xiaoyi will always try their best to take care of them, and this time they will also walk with Ximen Xiaoyi and Second Brother Ma, and it will not be a big deal." ”

Ma Zhi is walking with Ximen Qing, and naturally he is also on the same road as Wu Haogu. According to Liu Xiaoyi's report, Ma Zhi and Ximen Qing were ready to escort Wu Haogu all the way to the Daimyo's Mansion before breaking up.

And Ma Zhi didn't go south alone, he was the son of the four major families of Yanyun, and he went out to the country with a few Ma family guards, all of whom were strong men in the family, and they were more reliable than Lin Wancheng, Lin Chong and Lu Qian, who were temporarily hired by Wu Haogu.

With him and Ximen Qing here, the strongmen of Hebei can't help Wu Haogu. Besides, strongmen are unprofitable and can't afford to be early, and now Wu Haogu's head can be "appreciated", and no one will go out without tens of thousands of people.

And who will come out with these tens of thousands of dollars? Chen Youwen? Then Li Jinyi is now still in the prison of the East and West Road Criminal Division, who knows if he will confess? If he really wants to have so much money, he should spend it on self-protection first.

"It's not too early, I'll send you out." Pan Qiaolian said.

"Eighteen ......"

Wu Haogu couldn't help but call, full of affection.

"Okay, don't look like this, Da Lang is a big husband, and he should be ambitious in all directions.

It's just a trip to Hebei, and it's not a tiger's den in Longtan, not to mention that there are second brother Ma and Ximen Xiaoyi to take care of. Millet is also with you, don't look at him from the family of the eunuchs, in fact, he often walks outside, his family's landscape, relying on stuffiness in Kaifeng Mansion can not be painted, although you are his teacher, but when you go out to travel, you still have to listen to him. ”

"Hmm...... Eighteen, you also have to go back to Kaifeng Mansion as soon as possible, and then we can meet again.

It won't be long before we can be together forever......"

"That's, that's ......"

The two looked at each other and suddenly were speechless.

It's just that in each other's eyes, they all see the deep affection and reluctance.

At this moment, Mi Youren's voice came from outside the door: "Teacher, Ma Yuanwai and Ximen Wai have arrived." ”

Ma Zhi and Ximen Qing both lived in Ximen Hall, and now they came to join Wu Haogu.

"Then, let's go!"

"Hmm!"

"Da Lang, I'll send you with Eighteen."

Pan Daguan also came, changed into a blue shirt that looked a little loose, and a red flower was inserted in his sideburns, looking radiant. He patted his chest and said to Wu Haogu: "There is so-and-so, eighteen can't make a mistake, like Liang Shan, I don't even dare to touch it." ”

He really didn't brag about this, not to mention the twenty or thirty guards he brought, but his status as a military attache of the Great Song Dynasty was enough to discourage the grass robbers.

Because if you kill a court official, then Cao Kou will be promoted to a thief! If there is no wealth to be gained, who will do such a business?

"Then I'll leave it to Brother Eleven." Wu Haogu solemnly saluted Pan Xiao'an.

"Don't worry." Pan Xiao'an said with a smile, "The parents of a certain family died early, and the eighteenth sister was with a certain when she was a child, how could a certain treat her badly?" ”

What he said is also good, their brother and sister have indeed depended on each other for many years, and their relationship is excellent.

It was this time that he was ready to ruthlessly break up Pan Qiaolian and Wu Haogu, but also to make his sister-in-law marry better!

Wu Hao Gu introduced the painting businessman, that is, he has achieved the painting saint and the business saint, how can he be compared with the lord of the world?

Besides, His Royal Highness King Duan is also a talent, and he is one year younger than Pan Qiaolian.

As for Wu Haogu, Pan Xiao'an didn't plan to treat him badly - he said to Pan Xiaoyan, the head of the Pan family, that he would pick a talented and beautiful girl in the Pan family's gate, which was Pan Xiaoyan's daughter, and then Pan Xiao'an would take out a mansion worth 100,000 yuan as a dowry and marry Wu Haogu.

You guess it's always the best of both worlds, right?

"Go all the way."

Wu Haogu, who was still in the dark, really couldn't stand the pain of this separation, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he took the burden and sword from Pan Qiaolian's hand, and strode out.

In the courtyard, the tall Mi Youren was dressed in simple clothes, with a long sword in his hand and a bag on his shoulder. Seeing Wu Haogu coming, he arched his hand: "Teacher, you're all ready, it's time to go." ”

Wu Haogu followed Mi Youren out, and Guo Jing, Liu Wuji, Zhang Xizai, Lin Wancheng, Lin Chong, Lu Qian and others also walked out. Hua Manlou, who followed Wu Haogu here in Haizhou, did not leave with him, because Wu Haogu bought a manor on Yuntai Mountain, and asked the great monk Jingyin of Faqi Temple to buy land, so he stayed in Haizhou to do business.

Everyone soon arrived at the gate, Ma Zhi, Ximen Qing and several guards of the Ximen family had already arrived, all of them were one person and one horse, and they were also carrying weapons.

There is also Lu Zhishen who went north with Wu Haogu and others, he wanted to go back to Wutai Mountain, reinstate his life to Master Zhizhen, confess, and then go back to Kaifeng Mansion to be his Daxiangguo Temple monk judge.

Several servants of the Pan family each brought a horse over, and Mi Youren turned over on the horse with a dashing movement. Wu Haogu got on the horse with the help of a servant boy of the Pan family.

Pan Qiaolian also sent out the door all the way, "Da Lang, when will we meet?" ”

Wu Haogu thought for a while and said to Pan Qiaolian: "In winter, when Kaifeng is covered with snow, you and I will be able to see each other again." ”
