The Transmigrated Life of a Salty Fish Family

Chapter 776: Going around in circles (asking for monthly tickets!)

Yan Laoer was busy all day and went home for dinner in the evening.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw his eldest nephew surrounded by people.

The village elders, the officials who had been convicted, the villagers who had fled from Xizhou to seek refuge, and the villagers from the surrounding villages who had worked in their village and had connections with them...

Wow, there are so many people.

Yan Laoer quickly got up and rushed into the house covering his face.

Li Xuemei was walking downstairs with her child in her arms, occasionally looking through the window to see what was happening outside.

I was not surprised at all to see Yan Laoer sneaking into the house.

"You're back. Let's eat in our rooms tonight."

Yan Laoer was delighted, "Wife, you are really foresighted!"

He took off his shoes and sat on the edge of the kang, and asked casually, "Why are there so many old people?"

"Xiao Er took away two thousand people, which was quite a commotion. When the prince sent people to pick up big brother, he didn't hide it from them. You were in the military camp preparing for war. Wouldn't it be quick for our village to spread something? Besides, we didn't hide it." Li Xuemei motioned him to look outside: "Your daughter coaxed her big brother to come back, so she came back. She also told Heng'er to support the family. Just when I was worried about not being able to catch you two, Heng'er ran into you."

"Hahaha!" Yan Lao Er laughed twice, but quickly suppressed his laughter for fear that the noise would be heard outside. With a smile on his face, he said, "Heng'er has a lot of things to take care of. Our little girl has to get involved in everything. Heng'er is always outside, and it must be hard for so many people to come looking for him all of a sudden?"

Li Xuemei gave a fair assessment: "It's a mess."

"Fortunately, your daughter has a conscience and didn't let her elder brother run back without knowing it. Did you see the booklet in Heng'er's hand? Your daughter has already written it for him. I see that Heng'er is much calmer than when he first got home."

Yan Laoer was not in a hurry to eat, so he went downstairs to watch for a while.

He agreed: "This child has gained experience outside and looks like an adult now."

"He only looks like a child around us, but outside, people see Heng'er as a serious scholar who can handle things." Li Xuemei remembered something and said, "You don't know yet, those people from Xizhou set fire to the palace!"

Yan Laoer exclaimed and looked at her in surprise, his eyes clearly saying "share it quickly".

Li Xuemei told everyone what she knew.

"…The Crown Prince's Consort is always generous. These children from our village helped her protect something, so she wants to reward them with something. Guess what the children want?"

"Gold." Yan Laoer said with certainty, "The gold necklace our daughter brought back a few days ago was so heavy that it pressed against her neck. You see, they made it very solid. Why would they make something solid for a child? They made it hollow!"

Li Xuemei pursed her lips and explained to him in a gentle voice: "Then it is not for people to wear. It is a gift for people. With the family background of the Crown Prince's Concubine, how can the gift she gives to people be hollow? Wouldn't it make people laugh?"

"That's right. Hehe, from your tone, the children didn't want the gold?" Yan Laoer muttered, "No way, then what did they want?"

"The shield they wanted!" Li Xuemei compared the height and size of the shields. "They love it so much that they take it wherever they go. They bring Heng'er back with them and take him with them when they leave. The children who didn't go to the palace this time are all staring at them."

Yan Lao Er touched his forehead and said, "It's more important for them to like it than anything else. It's just a loss. If there is a reward of gold, the Crown Prince's Consort can't give less."

"I think it's up to you, my daughter. Gold is gold. The wicker shield can't be cheap. It will not hurt at all when hit by a knife." Li Xuemei thought to herself. It is not only strong but also beautiful. In the earliest times, the people of Xiaoan Village used door panels to block the battle with the Northern Rong. It seems that it left a deep impression on the children.

Li Xuemei: "By the way, our villagers have started to remove the door panels again."

Yan Laoer:......

"Why are they unloading again? The Xizhou Army is still far away from us. It's still unclear whether they can attack us. It's too late to ask them to prepare more food and clean up the cellars and tunnels. Let's go to the mountains to explore the way in advance. Why are they unloading the door panels?"

Li Xuemei said calmly, "Didn't you see the targets erected when you entered the yard? My master's wife, Qianchu and the other kids, we are all practicing. Every family does this. The men now dare to rush forward with knives. The door panels are no longer useful. We women are more at ease hiding behind and shooting arrows."

Yan Laoer blurted out: "Do you still need to practice?"

"Try to see if you can shoot accurately while walking, running, or moving on the car." In the words of her daughter, her output in a standing position is invincible, and she needs to have new and higher requirements.

"Did you hit the target?" asked Yan Laoer.

"Not bad." Li Xuemei said modestly. ...

Yan Yu was slowly getting used to using the most crude methods to keep in touch with the various teams, spy on the enemy, and pass on messages.

Just for a few words, the signalmen had to run themselves ragged.

Yan Yu ordered the other three teams guarding outside Yongning City to advance ahead in an outflanking manner.

She and Wei Sanzhu followed behind, ready to close the net at any time.

The chief accountant is the person in charge of this trip to the royal palace.

Yan Yu sent someone to deliver a letter explaining the situation, and received a reply from the accounting office informing him that arrangements would be made for the people and things on the ship.

The emphasis is on fire prevention.

Really, if the people of Xizhou set fire to the ships again, Yan Yu’s anger would burn them to ashes without leaving any trace!

"Wei San, where do you think they will get off the boat?" Yan Yu asked the person next to him.

Wei San thought for a moment and said, "If it were me, I would make some accidents and let the boat stop halfway. The two banks would be secluded and uninhabited."

This makes it easier to transfer people.

"Their goal is to rescue people. They have already rescued them. There are still a few fake mother and son pairs in the city who are deliberately creating confusion. Perhaps in their eyes, we are still chasing those fake mother and son and are being played by them."

Yan Yu smiled and said, "Indeed, the palace guards and Yongning's city defense forces are chasing these people."

The longer the pursuit lasts, the more spies lurking in Xizhou will be exposed.

When there are no new faces left, the city will be completely cleared.

Wei San: "At this time, they should find a way to quietly get the Qi Wang Shizi Consort and her son off the boat. If my guess is correct, they have people on the boat as well."

Yan Yu nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Before Wei San could say anything else.

"Report! The ship has stopped."

  Yan Yu thought to himself, it’s finally here!

Wei San asked: "Should we send someone to investigate?"

"No!" Yan Yu rejected decisively, "Don't interfere with their actions, let them run, I want to see if there is anyone to pick them up."

After this, the messengers were busier than before.

"Report! The cabin is leaking. We are stopping the ship for inspection."

"Report! The ship has docked at Gufeng Wharf!"

"Report! All the things on the ship, including the boxes, have been taken down."

"Report! The people in the box got on a carriage, and the carriage is heading towards Changping. There are more than ten people traveling with them, disguised as escorts, guarding them on both sides."

"Report! The group was resting at a teahouse and encountered a caravan. The people in the car got out and mixed into the caravan, while the original group continued to head towards Changping."

"Caravan?" Yan Yu asked, "Do you know where they are going?"

"Tiger crouching."

There is only half an hour left, ahhh! Please vote, there are still more than a hundred votes left, please have mercy on me, I want to keep 3000 votes! Go for it!
