Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, I have a treasure chest so I don't have to wo

There are spies from various families guarding outside the Pei Mansion day and night. The servants in the Pei Mansion are all family-born children. They will rise and fall together with the Pei Mansion, so there is no need to worry.

Pei Jiao once thought of using disguise to take the person away, but the old man of the Pei family soon pointed out the drawbacks.

As a result, Pei Jiao made various preparations outside the city, but she never found a way to lead people out of the city.

"Sister Pei, have you ever thought about digging a tunnel?" Xu Ning asked.

"Why didn't you think of that? The mud dug out from this tunnel is too obvious. It will be discovered quickly after it is transported out."

"Sister Pei, we can dig it in from the other side! Wouldn't it be easier to transport the mud?"

Pei Jiao widened her eyes. Yes, she only thought about digging it out of the mansion, why didn’t she think of digging it in from outside the city?

"But it may be too late now." Pei Jiao was distressed. If she had thought of this method at the beginning, it would still be in time.

"That can be solved, just find a ready-made tunnel!"

"Daya, this tunnel is not easy to find, right?" Xu Da suddenly said.

"It's not difficult, Dad, do you believe it? There might be a tunnel under the yard where we live?"

"No way?" Others were also skeptical.

Xu Ning simply asked the treasure chest to search for her, and she kept searching without making a sound. The underground of the capital city was no different from a rat hole, with all kinds of tunnels, as numerous as a spider web.

And Xu Ning was right about them living in this courtyard, as there was an abandoned tunnel leading to the next door.

Xu Ning led everyone directly into a room, lifted the bed board, and a tunnel covered with dust and cobwebs appeared in front of everyone.

Pei Jiao: "Ningning, you are amazing. There really is a tunnel! Then, is there one in my house too?"

Xu Ning nodded, and Pei Jiao asked hurriedly: "Where is it?"

"In the dry well behind your kitchen."

"I'll go back and take a look now!" Pei Jiao was very excited. With a tunnel, she wouldn't have to dig. As long as it was in her house, it would be convenient for her to operate.

After saying goodbye to the Xu family, Pei Jiao rode back to the Pei Mansion. The first thing she did after returning was to tell everyone in the mansion about what happened in the tunnel.

The Pei family had never thought that there was a tunnel in the mansion, so they secretly sent people to investigate, and found out it was an abandoned tunnel leading to a brothel in the capital.

As soon as they saw the location, they knew what the original owner of the tunnel was going to use it for. The Pei family didn't mind. Since they had discovered this place, they would have a greater chance of leaving the city.

"Jiaojiao, how did your friend know that there is a tunnel in our house?"

"Dad, how can I tell you? My sister has some magical powers that cannot be told to outsiders. Do you still remember the cement formulas I brought back? And the Happy Valley business that I opened with my cousin Yan was all her idea."

After Pei Jiao said this, the Pei family no longer had any doubts, because there was no need for Xu Ning to harm them.

"Family members, don't think about anything else now. Let's quietly pack the things we need to take. I'll go back and discuss it with Ningning. She has a lot of ideas. We can leave after the Lantern Festival!" If we delay, something will change. Now that we have a solution, we should leave quickly. By the time those people react, the Pei family will not be able to leave.

The principles that Pei Jiao understood were naturally also known by the other members of the Pei family. Everyone became busy for a while. Pei Jiao went straight out of the tunnel, disguised herself as a man, and returned from Chunlou to the courtyard where the Xu family was.

The Xu family was still waiting in the room. As soon as Pei Jiao arrived, Xu Ning gave her a map of the tunnels in the capital.

Before Pei Jiao came over, Xu Ning looked for several routes like playing a channel game, and finally decided to use the fastest one.

"Sister Pei, look at this one. This is the tunnel leading out of the palace. It's the largest and safest. There's a section that can be dug directly through the tunnel leading to your house. We'll block the tunnel leading to the palace when the time comes. The exit at the back won't work either. There are several exits outside the city here. Which one is closest to the person you're assigning?"

Pei Jiao was so shocked that she felt numb. She didn't know what a God's perspective was, but after looking at the tunnel map, she felt that whatever she did from then on would be as easy as drinking water.

She could only say: "I'll listen to you, Ningning. It's best if you arrange the route."

There was no other reason. The exit was really the best it could be. It was right outside the official road, and the exit was in a cave. It was extremely hidden. Pei Jiao didn't dare to say anything else.

"Okay, Sister Pei, you can arrange people to dig the tunnel. It would be best if you dig one tunnel in your room. Then we can set up a mechanism and block the tunnel entrance with big rocks. Even if the enemy catches up by then, it will take a while to dig it open." This idea was what Xu Ning remembered from the pictures of the tunnel guerrilla warfare he had seen before. This design would ensure the safety of the servants in Pei's house when they escape later.

Pei Jiao could only nod continuously and immediately arrange for someone to do it.

On the morning of the Lantern Festival, Pei Fu went to the palace to celebrate the Lantern Festival with the emperor as usual. When they returned home in the evening, Pei Jiao's parents looked visibly unhappy.

Pei Jiao was still outside accompanying the Xu family to tour the capital, unaware that the emperor was going to marry her to his man.

The Xu family's kids had a blast playing in the capital, and they didn't return to the yard until late at night, still unsatisfied.

Old Mrs. Xu, who had returned to the yard earlier, was still awake. When Xu Ning asked, he found out that she had seen an old friend.

Xu Ning couldn't get the identity of the old friend from Mr. and Mrs. Xu, so he asked the treasure chest, and thus found out that the person Old Mrs. Xu met was her biological elder brother, but the other party did not recognize Old Mrs. Xu at all.

Or if they do recognize it, they will just treat it as if they don’t recognize it.

"What rank is my grandma's elder brother?" Xu Ning went back to her room and lay down and asked curiously. She thought it shouldn't be very high. After all, if he had bad character, he wouldn't be able to become a big ghost.

"From the fifth rank."

"Oh, she can even meet the emperor, but she's ranked in a corner, no wonder." Being able to abandon her own sister, this official position is a little higher than Xu Ning had imagined. However, she didn't know what Old Lady Xu was thinking, and she had no intention of causing trouble.

The Xu family and the Pei family agreed to set off together tomorrow, and Xu Ning was too lazy to think about anything else.

Pei Jiao only found out about the news that the emperor was going to grant her a marriage when she returned home.

The Pei family sat together to discuss whether to change the plan. Pei Jiao stood up and objected: "We will leave tomorrow as planned. The tunnel has been dug. If we leave it later, I don't know what the dog emperor will come up with. Mom and Dad, I think this is an opportunity. Tomorrow we can tell the public that I am sick from anger, but in fact we can tell the emperor that you locked me up because you were afraid that I would run away."

"It will only take some time for my parents to put on a show and convince the emperor that you are willing to marry me off. But it will take time."

"As for Ningning, please send someone to inform her parents. I can't see them off because they are leaving the city tomorrow."
