The morning glow rises from the sea level.

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

There was a sound of tidying up items outside the house. It was supposed to be the two brothers Guo Jing and Liu Wuji who were helping Wu Haogu pack his luggage outside.

Because Mr. Pan still had to stay in Haizhou for a while, Pan Qiaolian naturally couldn't make it to go on the road with Wu Haogu again. Therefore, today is the day when Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian leave for a while and embark on their return journey.

However, Wu Haogu would not go directly to Kaifeng Prefecture. On the one hand, it was because nearly one-third of the calligraphy and paintings he brought from Kaifeng Prefecture this time did not take action; on the other hand, the Pan official brought the request that Pan Xiaoyan, the head of the Pan family, wanted to see Wu Haogu, but this request was difficult to refuse. After all, Wu Haogu still wanted to be the Pan family's son-in-law.

Therefore, Wu Haogu was preparing to detour through Yanzhou, Jeju, Daming Prefecture and Xiangzhou, and finally return to Kaifeng Prefecture.

Because Ximen Qing had told Wu Haogu before that he would go back to Yanggu County, Wu Haogu asked Hua Manshan to take a trip to Ximentang and made an appointment with Ximen Qing to get on the road together.

Today is the day to set off with Ximen Qing.

Guo Jing, Liu Wuji and Zhang Xizai packed up their luggage the afternoon of the previous day and prepared to take a walk.

Because Pan Qiaolian didn't accompany her, and the number of calligraphy and paintings she carried was reduced by more than two-thirds. So it was much easier to get on the road this time, and no more cars were hired. Everyone rode on horseback and hired two pack horses to carry luggage and calligraphy and paintings.

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

Wu Haogu got up and got out of bed, walked out of the room to prepare to wash.

"Dalang, the breakfast food is ready, come and eat it."

Pan Qiaolian was still in the outer room at some point, but she was still wearing men's clothes, but she couldn't cover her charm.

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

"Dalang, everything has been packed for you."

Pan Qiaolian placed a bag on the chair beside Wu Haogu and said in a nagging voice: "When you go out, you always need to bring enough silver. There is a cowhide bag here, which contains more than twenty small silver jewels.

By the way, there is also this Xia Ren sword that I asked for from the Eleventh Brother.

Unfortunately, Dalang is not good at martial arts, but he can also defend himself in his hands. The Hebei area you are going to leave this time is not very good. I don’t know how much flood has been caused in the past few decades. Many people can’t survive and become bandits. So you must be careful…”

Pan Qiaolian's words were very calm. But the nagging made Wu Haogu feel real concern.

"Madam Pan, don't worry about Dalang." Guo Jing patted his chest and said to Pan Qiaolian, "I will always do my best to take care of it, and this time I will also travel with Ximen Xiaoyi and Ma Er Ge, so I don't think there will be any major happenings."

Ma Zhi was walking with Ximen Qing, so he naturally traveled with Wu Haogu. According to Liu Xiaoyi's return, Ma Zhi and Ximen Qing were preparing to escort Wu Haogu all the way to Daming Mansion before breaking up.

Moreover, Ma Zhi did not go south alone. He is the son of the four major families of Yanyun. When he went abroad, he took several escorts from the Ma family. They were all domestic heroes. However, Lin Wancheng, Lin Chong and Lu Qian were temporarily hired by Wu Haogu.

With him and Ximen Qing here, the strong men in Hebei cannot do anything to Wu Haogu. Besides, strong men cannot afford to get up early. Now Wu Haogu's mind has "appreciated" and no one will be able to move without a tens of thousands of dollars.

And who would pay out the huge amount of tens of thousands of yuan? Is Chen Youwen? Then Li Jinyi is now remanded in the prison of the Taijian Department of the East and West Road in Beijing. Who knows if he really has so much money, he should spend it on self-protection first.

"It's getting late, I'll take you out." Pan Qiaolian said.

"eighteen……"

Wu Haogu couldn't help calling out, full of affection.

"Okay, don't look like this. Dalang is a real man, and he should be determined in all directions.

It's just a trip to Hebei, not a tiger's den, and there are also two brothers Ma and Ximen Xiaoyi to take care of you. Xiaomi is also with you. Although he comes from the Immortal Family, he actually often walks outside. His family's landscape can't be drawn by being bored in Kaifeng Mansion. Although you are his teacher, you still have to listen to him when you go out."

"Well... 18 You must go back to Kaifeng Mansion early, and we will meet again when the time comes.

It won't take long to be together..."

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

The two looked at each other and suddenly they were speechless.

But in each other's eyes, we both saw the deep affection and reluctance.

Just then, Mi Youren's voice came from outside the door: "Teacher, Mr. Ma, Mr. Xi is here."

Ma Zhi and Ximen Qing both live in Ximentang, and are now coming to meet Wu Haogu.

"Then, let's go!"

"Um!"

"Dalang, I will send you with Shiba."

Official Pan also came, and changed into a blue shirt that looked a little loose, with a red flower in his ears, looking energetic. He patted his chest and said to Wu Haogu: "With someone here, there, there is no mistake. He is like a bandit like Liangshan, and he dare not even touch it."

His words were really not hype. Not to mention the twenty or thirty guards he brought, his identity as a military officer in the Song Dynasty was enough to make the bandits discouraged.

Because if a court official is killed, then the bandits will be promoted to rebel! If there is no wealth that can be gained, who will do such a business?

"Then please contact Brother Eleven." Wu Haogu saluted Pan Xiao'an solemnly.

"Don't worry." Pan Xiao'an smiled, "My parents died early, and the eighteenth sister was with her since childhood. How could she treat her badly?"

He said this well. The brother and sister have indeed depended on each other for many years and their relationship is excellent.

Even this time he was preparing to break up Pan Qiaolian and Wu Haogu in order to make the girl marry better!

Wu Haogu's painting merchant is a master of painting and business saint, but how can he compare with the lord of the world?

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

As for Wu Haogu, Pan Xiao'an did not intend to treat him unfairly. He agreed with Pan Xiaoyan, the chief of the Pan family, to choose a talented and beautiful girl from the Pan family's generals, which was Pan Xiaoyan's daughter. Then Pan Xiao'an took out a mansion worth 100,000 yuan as a dowry and married Wu Haogu.

I think this will always have the best of both worlds, right?

“Go along the way.”

Wu Haogu, who was still in the dark, couldn't stand this kind of pain of separation. He gritted his teeth and took the bag and sword from Pan Qiaolian, and then strode out.

In the yard, the tall Mi Youren was dressed in a simple outfit, with a long sword in his hand and a bag on his shoulder. Seeing Wu Haogu coming, he arched: "Teacher, you are all ready and you can set off."

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

Everyone soon arrived at the gate. Ma Zhi, Ximen Qing and several Ximen family guards had arrived, all of whom were riding, and they were carrying weapons.

Another person who went north with Wu Haogu and others was Lu Zhishen. He wanted to go back to Mount Wutai, and regain his life to Master Zhizhen, and then return to Kaifeng Prefecture to be his monk magistrate of the Daxiangguo Temple.

Several servants from the Pan family brought a horse over, and Mi Youren turned over the horse and moved casually. Wu Haogu got on the horse with the help of a servant from the Pan family.

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