"Although she signed the contract, the madam didn't actually pay her for her body, so after the girl left, the boss regretted it for a while."

"But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with the person we're looking for."

Ah Da nodded, but still said: "I just feel it's strange, maybe, I think we can check this lady, after all, she was attacked at about the same time as the bandits."

"You decide." Lu Anyuan looked at him with a hint of disdain. His Yixing was so proud, how could he be associated with a prostitute? The most likely possibility now was that she was still hiding nearby. Yixing, Yixing, when I find you, I will definitely give you a pair of golden shackles!

Unfortunately, the Imperial Guards lost everyone in Xiaoxi Town and didn't find the person he was looking for. Lu Anyuan couldn't stay outside for long. He came here with full confidence, and now he left with gritted teeth, which really fulfilled Ying Wu's worries. The love in his heart gradually decomposed and deteriorated, turning into an emotion that he couldn't resolve or digest.

Xu Yixing had no idea what the situation was like in Xiaoxi Town half a month after she left. She just rested in her coffin every day and pretended to be dead to fool the government troops. If Yingwu hadn't known medical skills, she wouldn't even bother to go to the local doctor every ten days or half a month to check on the baby.

June and July were the most unbearable months. The blazing sun was scorching enough to kill people. Although it would be cooler as they headed north, Xu Yixing was trapped in the coffin after all, breathing through the tiny gap, coupled with morning sickness, which could almost kill her.

She couldn't help vomiting several times when she passed by a crowded town. The noise from the coffin scared passers-by and caused a lot of trouble. Fortunately, Yingwu was quite tactful and managed to get him out of trouble after a few words. However, after that, Yingwu didn't dare to travel during the day. He always left the city when the gates were closed and walked all the way to Miaozhou at night.

The Imperial Guards were not able to find anyone in Xiaoxi Town or the nearby mountains, so they were naturally scolded. However, this made Lu Anyuan realize that Yixing might have really gone north, so he increased the intensity of the search in the north. Ying Wu saw the Imperial Guards passing by on the official road several times, and he knew that they must be pursuers sent by the emperor.

In the middle of July, the two finally arrived at the city of Miaozhou. Miaozhou was a military and commercial city, with countless people from the Central Plains and the Hu people coming to do business. There were soldiers stationed in the city, so the inspection of merchants coming and going was particularly strict.

It took Yingwu a while to pass the inspection and be allowed into the city. However, after turning a few alleys, the very eye-catching coffin and the middle-aged man disappeared, and they turned into a pair of "loving couples". Although the husband did not have any intimate contact with his wife, his eyes kept scanning the passers-by, fearing that someone would bump into his pregnant wife.

"Oh my god, it's so hard!" Xu Yixing came out of the clinic and was pounding his waist and sighing in the alley on the back street. Finally arrived in Miaozhou!

Ying Wu still looked calm and handed over the newly bought pancake in his hand: "We don't have a place to stay yet. I see that there are many people patrolling in Miaozhou City. It's best not to stay in the inn. It's better to go out of the city and find a village for safety."

"It's all fine, but wouldn't it attract more attention if there were strangers in the village? Is this really possible?" Anyway, she went to the city mainly to see a doctor. Now that the doctor said that the fetus was fine, she was naturally relieved.

"I know a place. Miaozhou is different from other places. Families of criminals are often exiled here. Those families are despised and cannot survive in the city, so they go outside the city to open up new lands. That place is crowded and messy. Although it may not be a good place to raise a baby, it is the best place to hide your identity."

"Okay, I'll find a way to get a house after the baby is born." Xu Yixing choked on his food. He didn't expect that he would have to spend his subordinates' money to escape. He felt very sorry. He was looking forward to finding a way to make money and get rich in the future.

"Let's go, that place is in the west of the city. We have to hurry, otherwise we won't be able to close the city gate in time."

The two of them made up their minds and headed for the west gate. Although their pace was not fast, they finally left the city before the gate closed. When they arrived, Xu Yixing finally understood why Ying Wu said this place was suitable for hiding.

My goodness! What comes into view is clearly a deformed and messy village, located on the wasteland west of Miaozhou City. One family is crowded together with another, and the houses are of different styles, including thatched houses, thatched huts, mud houses and tiled houses. It is obvious that there is no unified planning and each family built them themselves.

And most of these people were exiled families, mostly old people, children and women, but not many men. They were busy cooking and pouring swill, not caring at all whether there were new people.

"I... I suddenly don't want to live here..." Perhaps stimulated by the mess in front of her, she didn't expect to live in such a place after escaping. Xu Yixing suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach and hunched over in pain.

Before Yingwu could support her, a pair of arms suddenly stretched out from the side and held her up steadily. "What's wrong with this lady?"

It was a female voice, very pleasant to the ear, and her accent sounded a bit like someone from Beijing.

Ying Wu recognized the man at a glance and was startled, but he calmly changed the subject: "Nothing, my wife and I have been traveling for a long time today, I think he is not feeling well, he just needs a rest, it's nothing serious."

Xu Yixing was fine after just a little pain. Now Tingying Wu didn’t want anyone to intervene, so she naturally lowered her head. Who knew who these exiles were from? It would be better if she didn’t run into any acquaintances. . .

"But now the city gates are closed. I guess you two can't enter the city today. My home is right here. Why don't you go to my house and rest for a night?"

Xu Yixing suddenly felt that the voice sounded familiar, and he looked up in a trance: "Wu... Nothing, really, it's not necessary." Xu Yixing finally knew where this familiar feeling came from, this was Wu Xueyan!

At the beginning, her whole family was moved to Miaozhou because of me or because of the second prince. I don’t know if she still hates me now. It’s better not to stay with her.

Seeing that the two men were determined not to follow her, Wu Xueyan became suspicious. The city gate was closed, and the two men were clearly standing in front of the village just now. They must have been going in. Why didn't they go in when she arrived? There must be something fishy!

So he smiled and said it was okay, but his face showed confusion and he was ready to report to the police as soon as the two of them left.

Xu Yixing held Ying Wu, who was about to leave, and put on a smiling face: "What's this girl's name?"

"My surname is Wu."

"Oh, Miss Wu, we came to Miaozhou to visit relatives, but we were a little slow and didn't make it to the time when the city gates were closed. It would be best if you could let us stay for one night..." After saying that, he glanced at Ying Wu, who immediately took out a few copper coins from his arms and handed them to Wu Xueyan with both hands.
