"Believe him, he is right." Sophia on the side also suddenly said, "This is something that is only available in the West, not in Dahua. And if you go to the capital to sell it at this time, there must be many dignitaries who like it."
Xia Shang said sincerely: "You don't have to doubt, you can go to the capital and try it first. You are good people, and I have nothing to repay you. I will give you the method of making chalk, and your future life will be up to you."
"
"This..." The woman was still looking at the chalk in a daze.
Xia Shang continued: "Thank you for taking me in, now it's time for us to leave."
Xia Shang and Sophia looked at each other, and they coincided with each other.
The little girl was a little reluctant to hear this: "Brother and sister, will you come back?"
"I will definitely come back if I have the chance."
Nowadays, the capital is in trouble. Xia Shang can easily enter the city as Li Youlan's book boy, but Sophia is different. She is a Westerner with blond hair, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city can tell there is something wrong at a glance.
Xia Shang now has no power and power and cannot bring her in, so Xia Shang can only go into the city first and then find connections to send Sophia into the city.
At the entrance of the village, Xia Shang was thinking about this problem: "Your Highness, such a big incident happened yesterday, and the current interrogation in the capital must be very strict. It is not normal for a blonde beauty like you to be around."
Sophia frowned: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that you live here now. I will go back to the capital first and then find someone to bring you in."
"You let me stay here alone? Aren't you afraid that I'll escape by myself?"
"I'm not afraid of this. I believe you can't go far alone. At least you have to find your companions. I think there are many in the capital's prisons, right?"
Sophia's face sank, obviously Xia Shang had guessed what was on her mind: "Since you have already decided, what else can I say? After all, this is your Dahua territory."
After a few simple words, Xia Shang embarked on his way back to the capital alone.
Half a day later, Xia Shang returned to the capital city, and then went to Mrs. Sai's house first.
But Mrs. Sai and Sai Jiangnan were not there, but Mrs. Sai's maid saw Xia Shang.
Xiao Qing was surprised when he saw Xia Shang: "Mr. Xia, why is it you? I heard that you disappeared on the ship, and my wife and young lady were very worried. Now you are back."
"There is no need to mention this matter again. In short, it is a near miss. When they come back, you can just tell them. I came today because I have entrusted you with something."
"Leave it to your maid?" Xiao Qing's expression changed, "Do you want me to protect you from some danger again?"
"That's not true. It's just that the matter is very confidential and I need someone I can trust to do it."
"Young master, why do you have to be so glib in front of my maid? How have you ever become a person that your maid can trust?"
"this……"
Xiao Qing saw Xia Shang's deflated look and smiled: "Giggle...just joking. Don't mind it, sir. Tell me, what does the young master need from your maid this time?"
"There is a Western woman in the village across the river outside the capital. You secretly take her back to the capital, take her to Mrs. Sai's house, and temporarily keep her as a maid."
"A Western woman?" Xiao Qing was startled, "Now the court is hunting down Westerners and has issued official documents saying that Westerners are all cults and aliens..."
"This is just a way for people in the court to vent their anger. Don't worry about it. In this case, you have to protect that woman even more."
"I can help you do this, but I'm afraid the lady wouldn't be very happy if she knew about it at this time."
"..."
"No need to make such an expression, I will just do it for you."
"Thank you so much, Miss Xiaoqing."
…
Just as Xiao Qing said, today the imperial court issued a pursuit order to hunt down all Westerners in Dahua. Official documents were posted all over the city, and they were even posted on the wall of Linshan Garden.
There were a lot less people in Linshan Garden today. Most of them were sent out by Li Youlan to search the banks of the Yellow River.
What happened yesterday caused many people to go missing, and Xia Shang was one of them. Now the banks of the Yellow River are overcrowded, and search and rescue people are everywhere.
If there weren't too many people in Huanghe and the scene was too chaotic, otherwise Li Youlan would have to go to such a thing in person.
After Xia Shang disappeared for a day, Li Youlan was worried for a day.
In this small Linshan Garden, I walked countless anxious steps.
"Miss, please eat something. If you stay up like this, he won't come back." Ping'er wandered around the lady and stayed up all night. This girl was also a little dizzy and started talking.
Incoherent speech.
"He will definitely come back!"
Although he spoke, the haggardness on his face could not be concealed, and it looked even more bleak under today's scorching sunshine.
But just as she said it, a man suddenly appeared where she was standing and staring.
"Miss, I'm back."
The voice was so soft that Li Youlan didn't hear it clearly, but Ping'er behind her had already screamed.
"Xia Hui is back! Miss, it's time for you to have a bite, right?"
Li Youlan had some reaction this time. She rubbed her eyes and was afraid to speak: "You...are you Xia Hui?"
Xia Shang shook off the stinky sweat: "Yes, I'm back. Is there any water to drink? I'm dying of thirst."
Xia Shang didn't pay attention to the young lady's expression. He walked in while talking. As soon as he reached Li Youlan's side, he heard a cry, and the little daughter, like a baby swallow, opened her arms and hugged Xia Shang's neck tightly.
What Xia Shang didn't expect was that a pair of soft and delicious red lips would be printed on Xia Shang's face without any warning.
Although it's just on the face, the soft touch and the unique smell of a girl in love are still so real and wonderful.
Xia Shang was stunned, Ping'er covered her mouth, only Li Youlan cried and smiled, hugging Xia Shang's neck tightly: "It's great, it's great that you can come back. Do you know how worried people are about you?
?Where did you go yesterday? I can't find you!"
Seeing the girl worried about him, Xia Shang also downplayed the surprise of the kiss just now, pushed her away with some pity, tried to make the whole thing more normal, and said lightly: "Yesterday was indeed a bit thrilling.
I fell directly into the river, struggled for a long time, and fainted. When I woke up, I didn’t know where I was washed. Fortunately, a kind person rescued me. Otherwise, this time it would have been all over."
"Did you fall into the river? Almost died?" Li Youlan's face turned pale, "Let me see if you are injured? Do you want to call the doctor?"
"No, no injuries. Luck is pretty good. I'm just very thirsty now. Ping'er, do you have any water?"
Ping'er pouted her little mouth and said, "I just came back and asked for help. There is no water, but there is lotus seed soup and a large table of food in the house." (To be continued)
