Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

Chapter 221 Mr. Xue

Fortunately, they did not encounter any more highway robberies afterwards. They arrived in Maoxian smoothly and picked up Xue Chongren and his wife.

"Dad, Mom, are you okay?" Xue Shaoqing had been extremely worried about his parents along the way. Now that he saw them, he felt relieved.

"It's okay, it's okay, we are fine. Your mother and I were worried about what you would do in the capital. I didn't expect you to escape and get here so quickly. It seems that you must have left before the city gates were closed."

"Yes, Dad, I am grateful to Yu Yu for reminding me, otherwise I would still be guarding the city gate foolishly." Xue Shaoqing admired Tian Yu Yu very much. If it weren't for his foresight, he would not have been able to escape from the city in time.

"Okay, it's good that you all come out. There shouldn't be any problem in Jiangnan. All the members of our Xue family are in Jiangnan. Your mother and I have packed our things. We wanted to find someone to bring you out, and then leave for Jiangnan together. Now that you are here, let's set off today." Master Xue is also a decisive person. I didn't expect that he made the decision as soon as they met.

"Dad, Yuyu and I are planning to go to Yingzhou Prefecture. I think it should be safer there now. The journey from Maoxian to our hometown in Jiangnan is farther than going to Yingzhou Prefecture. We have also heard that there are many forces in Jiangnan now. I am afraid that this journey will not be peaceful.

And it was heard that Yingzhou Prefecture had been taken down by General Li Yun and his party. Zhou Feng, who was a member of Concubine Jiang's party, not only failed to take down Yingzhou Prefecture, but also lost Bei'an Prefecture. Now the two major important places in the north are under the control of General Li Yun, which must be more stable than other places.

Moreover, Yuyu's father is the prefect of Yingzhou Prefecture, so it would be safe for us to go to Yingzhou Prefecture. "

Mr. Xue had originally planned to go to Jiangnan, but he was a little worried. After all, this journey usually takes about a month, and it might take even longer nowadays. Yingzhou does not have too many forces involved, so it should be safer, but it is winter now, and he is afraid that the snow will get heavier all the way to Yingzhou Prefecture, and the journey will be even longer.

"I'm a little worried about you on the way. The snow is heavy and the roads are blocked. I'm afraid we'll be delayed on the road for a longer time. We don't have any family in the north." Old Master Xue was still a little worried. "I'm afraid the journey won't be peaceful. The main thing is the weather. I'm afraid it will get colder and colder. I'm worried that your mother won't be able to bear it."

Hearing his father say this, Xue Shaoqing also hesitated.

Tian Yuyu had been standing by and listened to what the father and son said. Seeing that Xue Shaoqing was hesitating, he began to persuade him.

"Uncle, Jiangnan is probably not peaceful right now. Zhou Feng lost Bei'an Prefecture and is said to be heading towards Jiangning Prefecture. If you go south and the news leaks out, Zhou Feng's people may intercept you halfway. You are from the Xue family in Jiangnan. As long as Zhou Feng captures you, he can control the Xue family's power in Jiangnan."

There was no need for Tian Yuyu to say anything else, as Mr. Xue understood what it meant.

After Master Xue figured it out, he stopped worrying and made a prompt decision, "Okay, let's go to Yingzhou Prefecture. I'll ask the servants at home to pack up and prepare more heating supplies and the like."

Soon, the Xue family bought all the things, dismissed some of the servants, and took the rest with them to set off with Tian Yuyu and the others.

Not long after the group set out on the road, it began to snow again, but it was not heavy and did not affect their journey for the time being.

"Okay, let's sit down and take a rest near the small tea stall in front."

Because there are quite a few elderly people and children in the team now, Tian Yuyu and his team can no longer travel as fast as before, but they are trying their best to let everyone walk more. Now is a critical moment and there is no time to be too calculative.

Xue Changqing was responsible for the task of calming everyone in the team, while Tian Yuyu was responsible for overall coordination.

Now there are a lot of people joining the team, including servants and guards. Generally, small thieves don't dare to mess with their team, because they are afraid that some rebels will appear, which would be terrible.

Fortunately, nothing has happened yet.

Now it's cold and there are wars everywhere. When Zhao went north, he saw more and more people on the road. This would have been a very unusual thing in the past, but now because of the war, people were fleeing everywhere and going wherever they could.

As there were so many of them, they did not go into the tea stall but instructed their men to go in and buy some food.

The team was settled, and all the masters, young men and young ladies got off the carriages.

The old women and maids also started to get busy.

Tian Yuyu stood at the outermost edge of the team and looked at the other end of the tea stall. There were a few scattered people, many of whom were bringing their families and pushing small carts, walking with difficulty in this cold winter.

“It’s hard for the people to prosper, and it’s hard for the people to die.”

This sentence suddenly came to Tian Yuyu's mind.

In this world, they can only protect themselves if they don’t have the ability. If they have the ability, they may help one or two people, but they will never be kind.

"Everyone, please be careful and don't run around."

Tian Yuyu turned around and saw a few children running outside their circle, so he spoke up to remind them.

"Everywhere is in chaos right now, please keep an eye on your family."

When several servants heard what Tian Yuyu said, they immediately grabbed their young master, fearing that Tian Yuyu would get angry. Tian Yuyu's face had been stern since he set out on the journey, and no one had ever seen him smile. The servants were all very afraid of Tian Yuyu.

"Yu Yu, what's going on?" Shao Qing came over to ask after settling his family.

"Well, I'm afraid that it won't be long before the roads start to get chaotic. Everyone needs to be careful."

Liu Shaoqing looked ahead and finally realized something was wrong. There were so many people in this kind of weather. He was afraid that something might really happen.

"What should we do? We have enough stuff. Do we need to rearrange the team along the way?"

"Well, I will make arrangements. Guards will stand on both sides and in front and behind to protect the family. There will also be food. We have been on this journey for a long time, so it won't be easy."

"How are your people?" Liu Shaoqing asked, feeling somewhat worried.

"I'll be following you in the dark. Don't worry."

"That's good. With them, we will be fine on the way." Liu Shaoqing knew that Tian Yuyu had assigned him a team of muskets, but they had never been made public, so only a few people knew about their existence.

"It's just that there are civilians all over the road. I don't want to point the guns at the civilians. I want to use them to protect them."

"If you want, I'll help you."

"it is good."

The two of them understood each other and understood each other's meaning with just a few simple words. They had experienced so many things together over the years and were each other's most trusted confidants.

"Brother, come over and have dinner. The meal is ready." Seeing that everyone was standing outside and not coming over, Tian Yuze came to call him.

"Brother Xue, come back too."

"Okay, we'll listen to Yuze." Xue Shaoqing smiled and walked back with Tian Yuyu.

Everyone rested for a while in the afternoon before setting off on the road. Many ordinary people also set out at about this time.
