150 false alarm

"I'll go out and find out the situation." That day, although she was forced to leave by Mrs. Xiao for death, she did not agree to leave the capital immediately, so she had the idea.

No matter what, she had to do her best. If she was in the end, she would still have no choice but to do anything, at least she would not regret it.

Even if she really can't do anything, she has to stay here, accompanying her mother and elder brother through the last journey and see the final result.

Although she knew very well, she was now quietly leaving the capital and returning to the sea, which was the real safety for her.

Otherwise, who knows when that shadow can be hidden from others? And Xie Chen... If someone discovers it, they will be in danger. If they want to escape, it will be easier than now.

But Xie Xuan still doesn't want to compromise easily.

"I'll go too." Xie Chen said hurriedly.

"Stay." How could she be so relaxed with this kid? If there is any mistake, it will be difficult for her to escape. Therefore, Xie Xuan turned a blind eye to Xie Chen's obvious disappointment.

"You are obedient and don't go anywhere, just wait here. I'll go out and see. Don't you want to know the whereabouts of your aunt?"

Xie Chenyuan wanted to say something, but when he heard Xie Xuan's words, he felt like he was being lit with a fatal acupoint and immediately stopped.

Xie Xuan felt relieved, "Don't worry! I'll go and go back quickly! It won't be delayed for too long."

Xie Chen pursed his little mouth tightly and nodded reluctantly.

At this moment, a "boom boom boom" knocked on the door suddenly sounded.

Xie Xuan and Xie Chen both changed their faces. Xie Chen even left the side and hid behind Xie Xuan. He grabbed Xie Xuan's clothes with one hand, widened his eyes, and looked at the two courtyard doors that were tightly covered by the door bolt in panic, for fear that the next moment, officers and soldiers would break into the door.

Xie Xuan also frowned and even pressed one hand quietly on her waist. At this time, why would anyone knock on the door in this place?

No! Of course, it’s impossible to be an officer or a soldier, otherwise it wouldn’t be as simple as knocking on the door.

After understanding this, Xie Xuan's heart was slightly relaxed, and the hand pressed on her waist moved away. Seeing that Xie Chen was still facing a great enemy, he patted his hand on her clothes comfortably, and then slowly walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

Xie Chen was so scared that he turned pale, but he bit his lips tightly, and did not dare to say anything. He stared at Xie Xuan pulling the door bolt open, and then opened the door...

"Oh! It's really you, young man. When I saw that the iron general in this door was gone, I knew there was someone in the yard, and guessed that you were back."

Outside the door, it was not the officers and soldiers who came to search for them that Xie Chen thought, but a woman dressed in coarse cloth clothes and dressed very ordinary.

"Auntie Zhao?" Xie Xuan finally felt completely relieved when she saw that the enthusiastic neighbor outside the door was the next door.

"Young man, when you left a few days ago, didn't you say you went out for business? Now that you are back, you are making money?" Aunt Zhao said with a smile.

Xie Xuan raised her hand and scratched the back of her head, and her skin was smeared. A honest smile appeared on her dark face. She said embarrassedly, "I didn't make two money, but I went back to my hometown and took my brother over."

Xie Xuan said, and turned her head, allowing Aunt Zhao to see Xie Chen standing in the middle of the yard at a glance.

At this moment, Aunt Zhao saw Xie Chen and couldn't help but lit up, "This is your brother! He looks good. By the way, you came and went in a hurry that day. I only know that you are a businessman, but you don't know what your name is."

Xie Xuan's eyes flashed lightly, and she smiled calmly, "Where did the poor family get their names? They just called them casually. My family's surname is Xiao, and the aunt just called me Dalang."

Xie Xuan thought, now she is also called Dalang. Thinking about the time when she heard someone else calling Qi Shen Qi Dalang, she thought of Wu Dalang unkindly. Is this considered a turn of feng shui?

"Then, your brother is Erlang?" This is how many children from poor families are named. Therefore, Aunt Zhao asked with a smile without any doubt.

Xie Xuan turned her head and looked at Xie Chen. She hadn't discussed it just now, so she should not break up this guy.

Unexpectedly, Xie Chen nodded in cooperation, "Yes! Auntie, my family members call me Erlang."

Aunt Zhao laughed, "Your brother looks gentle and kind. I'm afraid he has studied at home? Do you bring him to the capital to let him study here?"

Aunt Zhao is not only enthusiastic, but seems to be a person who likes to meddle in other people's business. But... Xie Xuan has to be patient and wants to deal with her here.

"But I've just read it in the school for two days and read two words. The school in Beijing is probably very expensive, so I can only ask slowly."

"Brother! Aren't you going out to do business? Just go quickly!" Xie Chen suddenly interrupted.

Xie Xuan frowned suspiciously at him, and Xie Chen hurriedly said, "Don't you have something to do with me? Go quickly, don't delay. I will remember to have a meal myself."

Aunt Zhao also slapped her intently, "Oh! Look at my memory, I'm going to buy vegetables too. When I saw someone in your yard, I came to take a look. But as I said, I forgot, I have to leave, otherwise it will be too late in a while." As he said that, he waved at the "brothers" and left quickly.

I don’t know if it was reminded by Xie Chen’s words or if I really remembered it suddenly. But when Xie Xuan looked at Xie Chen, her expression was a little exploring, and she felt a little uneasy when she saw it, and said, “Sister Seven, I…”

"You have done a good job. From now on, you will call me 'brother'. Then I will leave, close the door, don't go out, take good care of myself, do you know? Erlang!"

Xie Chen nodded, and the expression on his little face was very serious.

After this incident, Xie Xuan was much more relieved to leave Xie Chen alone in this small courtyard. After explaining a few more words, she left in a hurry.

He said he was going to inquire about the news, but with Xie Xuan's current situation, there were really not many choices.

Although there are many disciples and old friends in the capital of Dingguo Duke's Mansion, she cannot reveal her identity in front of anyone. In extraordinary times, she cannot easily trust others. If the people who are willing to help each other now cannot drag them down.

The wine shops and teahouses are always the fastest and most widely circulated places. When Emperor Hongxu gave Li Yong a marriage, Xie Xuan used this trick.

Therefore, Xie Xuan made up her mind early in the morning. Today, she specially wore a piece of clothing with medium and topped materials, chose a pretty good teahouse. She went upstairs, asked for a location next to the window and the street. She could see the movements downstairs and on the street. In just two steps, she was in the corridor. Then she ordered a pot of tea and sat down with peace of mind.
