Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 31 Parting, Wang Yan leaves Beijing
Xu Yanyan came from a scholarly family, and was influenced by her father since she was a child. Although she is a daughter, she is like a man in her heart, with the feelings of family and country, so she understands the depression in Wang Yan's heart.

The two talked to each other, and the sun had already set in the west, and Wang Yan was no longer so depressed under her enlightenment.

At this time, he had already figured out that after Zuo Maodi united with the courtiers, regardless of the result, he would leave Nanjing and return to Sizhou, and then try to improve the combat power of the Zhongyi Battalion.

In the past six months, many opportunities have appeared in front of him, and he also has a strategy in his heart, but because he has no strength and cannot influence the court, he missed it in vain.

When he was in Qingzhou, he pinned his hope on Zhao Yingyuan. As a result, Zhao Yingyuan was not strong-willed and was killed by Qing soldiers, which caused the collapse of Shandong's anti-Qing situation; Then he missed the opportunity of the Northern Expedition; later in Xuzhou, he pinned his hope on Shi Kefa, but Shi Kefa refused to listen to his words several times, and missed the important opportunity to clean up Jiangbei, but this time he pinned his hope on Zuo Maodi, As a result, the court was ruined, and Zuo Maodi was powerless.

After going through so many things, Wang Yan no longer thinks about borrowing the power of others like before, what he wants is the power and power that he can grasp personally.

With a decision in mind, Wang Yan couldn't help feeling better.

At this time, looking at Xu Yanyan who was always with him, Wang Yan couldn't help feeling tenderness in his heart, "Yanyan, can I redeem you for you?"

Looking into Xu Yanyan's beautiful eyes, Wang Yan expressed his thoughts affectionately.

Although Meixianglou is different from the general place of fireworks, Xu Yanyan doesn't have to accompany wine and laugh like ordinary brothel girls, but brothels are brothels, Wang Yan can't let her stay in Meixianglou forever.

Hearing Wang Yan's words, Xu Yanyan was moved, but worried whether Wang Yan had the financial resources to redeem her.

Although Li Zhenli was righteous, he was not the real owner of Meixiang Building after all, so there was no way there would be any discount for the ransom.

"Yanyan listens to Big Brother Wang's arrangements for everything." Xu Yanyan burrowed into Wang Yan's arms emotionally, feeling Wang Yan's body temperature and heartbeat, and then said worriedly. "In the past six months, the foster mother has spent a lot of money in order to raise Yanyan. Brother Wang wants to redeem Yanyan, and I'm afraid he won't be able to spend that much money for a while."

Along the Qinhuai River, there are countless brothels and flower boats. Among them, there are not a few who are favored by others and redeemed for freedom. However, the prices for these brothel women's redemption are different, and their reputations are different.

Ordinary things aside, Mao Bijiang's "Yingmei An Yiyu" records that Dong Xiaowan, who was nineteen years old, redeemed himself with 3000 taels of silver, while Chen Yuanyuan, who was also one of the Eight Beauty, was given by the head of the state, Tian Wan. Thousands of gold to buy it.

Xu Yanyan's reputation is far from reaching the level of Bayan. Wang Yan estimated that the redemption money should be around 2000 taels of silver.

Although Wang Yan doesn't have so much silver on him now, and he doesn't have other sources of money, he is not worried in his heart. He has seen a novel spinning technique in his dream, and it shouldn't be difficult to exchange some silver.

In the land of Songjiang and Hangzhou, textiles are well developed, and workshops with hundreds of people are not uncommon. Wang Yan has already decided to go south tomorrow to find powerful wealthy businessmen for transactions.

"Yan Yan doesn't need to worry about the money, I have my own way." Wang Yan caressed her gently, and said softly: "Yan Yan only needs to discuss with her adoptive mother how much money she needs."

"Then Yanyan will follow Brother Wang and wait for Brother Wang to redeem Yanyan." Xu Yanyan happily plunged her head into Wang Yan's arms.

Wang Yan smiled slightly, and couldn't help hugging him even tighter.

Just when the two were immersed in the sweetness, Xu Yanyan's little maid suddenly came in, breaking the intimate atmosphere between the two. "Miss, Mr. Da Zun brought the guests to look for the prince, and asked the slaves to come and report."

Hearing this, Xu Yanyan broke free from Wang Yan's arms shyly. Wang Yan couldn't help being curious, but he thought that Chen Zilong must have something important to come to him at such a late hour.

Immediately, Wang Yan and Xu Yanyan got up and went to the outer hall to meet each other.

After leaving the inner hall, Wang Yan saw Chen Zilong sitting anxiously, while Liu Shun and Qian Yifeng were pacing back and forth anxiously.

"My lord, we have found you!" Seeing Wang Yan and Xu Yanyan coming out, Liu Shun and Qian Yifeng immediately surrounded him.

Seeing this, Wang Yan couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, he couldn't think of anything that would make the two of them so anxious, and looked at them with doubts. "Why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"

"I was the one who found the inn first, but I didn't see Shi Heng, so I came here with him." Chen Zilong also stood up from his seat at this time, walked over and said, "Shi Heng quickly leave Nanjing and return to Sizhou! "

"Why is that?" Hearing this, Wang Yan was a little confused.

"Zhu Guobi reported to the imperial court that the young master left his post without authorization and came to Nanjing privately. He wanted the Ministry of Criminal Justice to send someone to lock up the young master and put him in prison." Liu Shun, who was on the side, heard the news from Chen Zilong and said angrily.

"I was looking for ministers I knew acquaintances during the day to make a series of letters, and when I returned home in the evening, Mr. Zuo had been waiting for a long time." Chen Zilong told the story at this time, "It turns out that Mr. Zuo got the news from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Zhu Guobi reported that Shi Heng secretly Come to Beijing, the arrest document has been sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and at dawn tomorrow someone will come to arrest Shi Heng and put him in jail."

"Master Zuo has already made arrangements, my lord, let's go out of the city overnight and go back to Sizhou." Qian Yifeng said.

At this time, Wang Yan basically knew what happened. It was indeed a serious crime to come to Beijing privately. However, since the court was newly established and the laws were incomplete, nothing would happen, but if someone intentionally tried to punish him, it would be completely different.

The best way now is to leave Nanjing as soon as possible and rush back to Sizhou, so that the court will not be able to arrest him in the four towns, and with Zuo Maodi dealing with him in Beijing, it should not be difficult to pass the customs.

It's just that Wang Yancai and Xu Yanyan agreed on the matter of redemption, but now he wants to leave suddenly, which is too unfair to Xu Yanyan, and Wang Yan is also worried that after he leaves, Zhu Guobi will make things difficult for Xu Yanyan, so he hesitates.

Chen Zilong on the side didn't know the relationship between Wang Yan and Xu Yanyan. Seeing that Wang Yan didn't answer but looked at the woman beside him hesitantly, he couldn't help frowning, and said in a tone of displeasure: "People in my generation should treat you like this Helping the community comes first, Shi Heng should not want his children to be affectionate, but keeping his useful body is the first priority.”

Since Xu Yanyan came out, she stood aside obediently, listening to what they said, and when she learned that Wang Yan was in danger of being imprisoned, she was also worried for a while.

The way Wang Yan looked at her let her know Wang Yan's reluctance for her, and why was she not like this.

The two looked at each other reluctantly. In Chen Zilong's eyes, it was Xu Yanyan who had influenced Wang Yan, making him deeply in love with his children and forgetting his future and the danger he was about to face.

Although Chen Zilong didn't say it clearly, but Xu Yanyan was smart, so she naturally understood what Chen Zilong meant. She thought she was just a brothel girl, and advised Wang Yan to put himself first and the country first.

"Brother Wang! Mr. Da Zun is right. It is better for Brother Wang to leave Nanjing as soon as possible." Chen Zilong's words hurt Xu Yanyan. Her sweetheart is a talented celebrity and a hero with the world in mind. Important things to do instead of being with her, a brothel woman.

"If I leave, what will Zhu Guobi do to make things difficult for you?" Wang Yan didn't listen to everyone's words, they separated for half a year, and finally got together, Wang Yan didn't want to part again.

After all, Wang Yan is young, and it is inevitable that he will love his son and daughter in his heart.

"I can take care of Mrs. Xu on my behalf. Shi Heng can rest assured." Wang Yan's performance made Chen Zilong feel unhappy for a while, but he was worried that Wang Yan would not leave because of his temper, so he said quickly.

"Brother Wang, don't worry about me." Zhu Guobi is the Duke of the state and has great power. If Wang Yanzhen is caught, he will definitely suffer a great crime. Naturally, Xu Yanyan does not want Wang Yan to be hurt. No one will come to trouble Yanyan, Brother Wang must protect himself before he can protect Yanyan."

At this time, upon hearing the news of Chen Zilong's coming, Li Zhenli also came to the outer hall, and after understanding what had happened, she hurriedly said to Wang Yan: "Young Master Wang can leave at ease, Yan Yan will take care of me, and take Young Master Wang to settle down in Sizhou." Now, let the news of the arrest pass, and it will not be too late to redeem Yan Yan."

Seeing everyone's persuasion, Wang Yan couldn't help but feel shaken, and he also planned to go to Songjiang to find money, but this time he just went to Sizhouer in a different direction.

Leaving his post without authorization and being shocked in private, if it is minor, he will only be removed from his post for investigation, and if it is serious, it may be a capital crime. If Wang Yan falls into prison, not only his own life will be in danger, but Xu Yanyan will also lose her support in the future.

After receiving Li Zhenli's guarantee, Wang Yan decided to leave Nanjing temporarily according to everyone's persuasion.

"I'm not here, Yanyan must remember to protect herself." Wang Yan took Xu Yanyan's hand, "After today, at least half a month, at least a month, I will definitely raise money and send someone to pick Yanyan up."

"Brother Wang, don't worry, Yanyan is waiting for you to come back." Xu Yanyan's heart was full of parting pain, but she still responded with a strong face.

After the two said goodbye with regret, Wang Yan turned around and left with Chen Zilong. When he walked out of Meixiang Building, Xu Yanyan's singing sounded behind him. It was the lyrics and music that Wang Yan wrote last night.

The westerly wind crosses the cold mountains and rain at night, and the home and country are still in the dream.

If you don't see you, you can't see you, and you can't bear to leave.

When will the flames of war stop, the winners and losers will go to the east.

The wax torch has left tears and tears are hard to dry, and the country is not old and the beauty is old.

I can't bear to leave, but I can't bear to leave again. I ask Hongyan to go south. I don't know what to send my heart.

The beauty is old, no matter how the world changes, the only thing that will not change is this love.

~~~~~~
Listening to Xu Yanyan's beautiful and sad singing, Wang Yan's heart was filled with the pain of parting, he couldn't help but stop again, and stopped outside the Meixiang Building.Seeing this, Liu Shun couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He already knew Xu Yanyan's identity, so he was naturally the only one in the group who could understand Wang Yan. "Young master, let's go!"

Wang Yan looked at the group of people who were staring at him, and couldn't help but look back at Meixiang Tower, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he rushed to the gate of the city amidst Xu Yanyan's singing!

　Single dog, not good at emotional description ah ah ah ~

　　As I write, I suddenly feel very sad.

　　Ask for comments, ask for comfort.
