Wei Liu used Bai Zhao's telescope to check the situation in the distance, and looked worried. "Oh no, there is a cavalry. I wonder if it is Prince Li's men."

Dust filled the sky, and people's figures were unclear.

Based on his many years of fighting experience, there were at least a hundred people coming.

"There are hundreds of people coming over there. We are definitely no match for them."

"So many people? Can a commander do this for his own selfish desires?" Bai Jingzhi didn't believe it at all.

Wei Liu also felt strange, but didn't say anything. The situation was unclear, so he didn't dare to make any rash judgments.

"Jingzhi, what are your plans?"

Wei Liu now treated Bai Jingzhi the same as Wei Shou and waited for her to speak.

"If we flee in separate groups, it should be possible. Now we are all dressed as refugees, and the only thing that catches our eyes is this carriage."

As they walked along the way, they saw ox carts and other vehicles quite common, but horse carriages were rare.

Bai Jingzhi took the telescope and vaguely saw some fat and strong war horses.

"These war horses are really good!"

I felt a little envious for a moment.

"Prince Li was the most favored by the late emperor. When he was enfeoffed, the late emperor gave him many good things, including several war horses."

Wei Liu looked envious.

"What's the origin of these horses?" Bai Jingzhi just thought they were majestic and didn't feel anything else.

"There are grasslands to the north of Wujiyuan. The war horses of the nomadic country rarely appear in Dazhuang Dynasty. That year, the previous emperor captured the king of the nomadic country in a war, and exchanged them for war horses and other things."

Wei Liu also heard this information from the old patriarch.

I just opened my eyes today and saw the legendary horse.

Wei Liu then began to explain to Bai Jingzhi in detail, "This kind of warhorse was originally used by the nobles of the nomadic country, and it was also very precious in that nomadic country."

Prince Li's current war horses should be the result of mating those war horses with the native horses of the Dazhuang Dynasty.

After Bai Jingzhi knew about this, he became even more determined to get it.

There were horses of noble pedigree in her space, but they were far inferior to these.

"Sixth Grandfather, let's split up. Our family will take the horse carriage, and the others should quickly find a bullock cart. I'll keep these documents for you, and we'll meet in the next city."

Bai Jingzhi already had an idea in his mind and made a decision immediately.

"How can you three do this! If they are coming for you, wouldn't that be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?"

Wei Liu disagreed and didn't let them take the risk.

When the horses encountered a group of refugees, their speed slowed down.

"Sixth Grandpa, while they are slowing down now, hurry up and let Sister Yue'e follow us. We have a way to get out."

Bai Jingzhi said solemnly, "Trust me, trust my great-grandfather's choice."

Wei Liu wanted to say something, but when he heard the three words "great-grandfather", he stopped trying.

The old patriarch's predictions are still very accurate and have been verified one by one.

Wei Liu quickly began to make adjustments, leaving only four people in the carriage.

"Uncle Six, I'm asking you to take care of Duan'er and Yao'er." Wei Hongmian said, and took out some change from the bag beside him. "Don't let them starve. When we get to the county town ahead, buy them some easy-to-digest food."

After being together for these days, Wei Hongmian has developed some affection for the two children.

Wei Liu accepted it silently, and just whispered, "Be careful, and if everything is safe, go to Huaicheng to meet up."

Bai Jingzhi nodded and reminded, "You should also disperse and don't arouse suspicion."

There are many young and strong people in their team. Even if they are dressed like refugees now, they still attract attention.

Along the way, they were well fed and looked different from the others.

If everyone in a group behaves like this, it will arouse suspicion. It will be less noticeable if they disperse.

The motives of those people in Prince Li’s Mansion are unclear now, so it’s better for them to keep a low profile.

Wei Liu also considered this, "Got it, a few strong men paired with a few weak ones, be careful."

"Why do we have to separate? We are fine riding in the carriage, won't our old bones break if we ride in the ox cart?"

Old Mrs. Zhou didn't dare to ask Wei Liu, and just whispered to Old Mrs. Bai.

"Why, you want to walk on the ground with your own two hooves instead of riding in a bullock cart?"

Old Mrs. Bai ignored her and just looked in the direction of the carriage with some worry.

She loves her youngest son Bai Zhao the most, not only because he is good at studying, but also because this child knows how to care about her.

Now that they have been asked to get off, what are they going to do with the carriage?

Old Lady Bai wanted to take another look, but Wei Liu urged her, "Alright, they'll catch up if they take another route."

After all the people were divided into groups, they started to set off one after another.

Wei Dayong was in Jiang Lan's team, and he watched them and didn't let them run away.

These people represent money, food...or rather, the reserves developed by Wujiyuan. They cannot work in vain.

Wei Li followed Wei Liu and whispered, "What are they going to do? Why are they alone? It's so dangerous now, why don't you try to stop them?"

In the carriage was his aunt's family, and he was a little worried.

Back then in the Wei family, his aunt loved him very much.

Her appearance was a little blurry, but Wei Li still remembered her warm hands clearly.

There were people all around him these past two days, and he hadn't had time to get to know them.

"They have their own destinations. Why are you, a servant, asking so many questions?" Wei Liu said in a rude tone. He then pushed Wei Yao and Wei Duan into his arms and said, "You will protect these two children in the future."

"Yes!" Wei Li wished so much that if it weren't for his big beard, he would have been unable to stop smiling.

"Sixth Grandpa, this guy is so ugly, I don't want to follow—"

Wei Yao was about to cry, but Wei Duan stopped her, "Okay, he's strong, we won't be in danger. Aunt and the others have something to do, they will be back after they are done."

Wei Duan patted Wei Yao gently to stop her from crying.

"Okay, you two little ones, sit tight. No one can bully you with me here." Wei Li patted his chest and made the promise, then carried the two of them onto the ox cart.

"By the way, you guys should call me brother, don't let others get suspicious."

Wei Li had already noticed the sound of horse hooves, but didn't say much.

Ren Shui and Ren Bing looked at each other and quietly clenched the daggers in their hands.

Others are unaware of the danger, only those who are more alert feel it.

"One of you go and warn them over there to be careful."

Wei Li's words were vague, but Ren Bing knew he was talking about the prince, so he quickly went to do it.

At this moment, Bai Jingzhi and his team also took action.

Zhou Yue'e drove the carriage in front and rushed directly into the mountains.

This time, Commander Han led the team, and the people he brought were not the thugs from before.

These were veterans who had received formal training, different from the twenty or so prisoners they had captured before.

Bai Jingzhi didn't know. She started to take things out of the pharmacy in the carriage. "We can only use these anesthetic drugs now, otherwise we will definitely not be able to escape."

"Tell me, why would you take such a risk? If they really come after us, what if—"

Bai Zhao stared at the needles, feeling a little angry. "We are vulnerable now. Can't we be more peaceful?"
