The whole family escaped from famine and accidentally occupied land

Wei Duan didn't know much and was not involved in the core affairs of the Wei family.

It is not easy to hear these.

If there had not been a riot at that time, Wei Shou would not have allowed anyone to enter his study, even if they were direct descendants of the Wei family.

The Wei family has a rule that the eldest son of the legitimate family is to follow the military, the other legitimate sons are to follow the literary, and the illegitimate sons are to follow the business.

Even if something happens to the eldest son, the Wei family's inheritance will not be cut off.

The Wei family happened to have an outlier, Wei Shou's younger brother, who also wanted to become a martial artist.

Unfortunately, Old Master Wei did not agree, so the Second Master Wei asked to leave the clan and go far away.

The name of Master Wei Er did not appear in the family tree, and Wei Duan did not know what his name was.

Along the way, Wei Duan actually hoped to move slower.

He suspected that Master Wei II was not a good person, otherwise his grandfather would not have been so angry that day.

Wei Duan reminded Wei Liu indirectly, but unfortunately Wei Liu didn't think much about it and thought Wei Duan was just throwing a tantrum.

Wei Duan was helpless. He was small and weak, so where else could he go with his sister except following them.

Fortunately, Bai Jingzhi showed up at this time, and Wei Liu seemed to treat her differently.

It was also because of this that Wei Duan often secretly looked at Bai Jingzhi.

He discovered Bai Jingzhi's secret and mistakenly thought that Bai Jingzhi was a fairy who could create things out of thin air.

"If this is true, then Yuzhou is truly a den of dragons and tigers."

Bai Jingzhi already remembered who the Second Master and Concubine Lian were.

It turned out that Wei Hongmian had a notebook in which he recorded some of his thoughts.

I think Concubine Lian should be the one who pitied her cousin and almost caused Wei Hongmian to die in a fire when she was a girl.

Bai Jingzhi knew too little information and did not dare to make any deductions rashly for fear of making an inaccurate judgment.

It doesn't matter what the truth is. What matters now is to save your life first and to have a force that can protect your family.

The Wei family was caught in the vortex and they were just pawns.

Wei Shou must have noticed the various arrangements he had made.

"Do you know where the grain and books were transported to?"

Bai Jingzhi asked casually, without thinking about Wei Duan's answer.

"I don't know," Wei Duan shook his head, "but my father is very likely to know the whereabouts of the things."

"Your father? Didn't he go missing?" Bai Jingzhi looked puzzled. "What's your evidence?"

Wei Duan's father was named Wei Zhong, and Wei Shou had only two siblings, Wei Zhong and Wei Hongmian.

Wei Zhong naturally followed the military path.

Wei Zhong had two sons and one daughter, the eldest son Wei Li, the second son Wei Duan, and the eldest daughter Wei Yao.

Wei Li practiced martial arts since he was young and had outstanding talent.

When it comes to Wei Duan, he can only follow the literary path.

No one knew where Wei Li was sent by Wei Zhong, and there had been no news of him for four or five years.

On the day of the decisive battle, Wei Zhong did not go into battle with Wei Shou, but instead went to find Wei Duan and asked him to take good care of his sister and listen to his aunt.

Combining these information, Bai Jingzhi felt more and more that they had already entered the game.

The Wei family incident was the beginning of multi-party gaming and even war.

"Cousin Jingzhi, are you planning on taking those things?"

Wei Duan glanced around and whispered, "Then we need to find my father first, and my elder brother!"

Bai Jing saw through his plan at a glance, "Why, are you scared? Don't worry, this fairy will protect you."

How could she not know the child's little thoughts? She just felt that these people were unreliable and wanted to find another backer.

However, it is not easy to find people now. It would be better for them to make a name for themselves in the future and let these people find them.

Wei Duan smiled awkwardly, "No, it's just that I feel safer with my father and brothers around. They are highly skilled in martial arts and will definitely be able to protect us."

Recently, Wei Duan has also been practicing martial arts with Wei Dayong, and he couldn't stand it after just a few days.

He knew he was not cut out for it, so he placed some hope on his father and brother.

Bai Jingzhi couldn't help but remind him, "Duan'er, let me tell you, a real man should be able to bend and stretch, and only by being shameless can he live longer in troubled times."

Chaos has already occurred in the Dazhuang Dynasty, and war will soon break out.

Being too rigid will lead to failure, and she was also afraid that the child would die young.

The backbone of a scholar can sometimes be a hindrance.

These days, Wei Duan holds a book whenever he has free time.

He carried two or three books in the bag he carried with him.

The rest of the luggage was lost, but the books I carried with me were intact.

Bai Jingzhi sometimes admired scholars and their character, but he was more afraid that Wei Duan only had character but no wisdom.

As long as the reading is not extremely pedantic, Bai Jingzhi doesn't care.

"Cousin Jingzhi, don't worry! If I encounter an accident, I will definitely focus on saving my life and wait for the fairy to save me."

Wei Duan answered seriously.

Bai Jingzhi actually heard a hint of ridicule in it.

In later generations, children in their teens would still act like spoiled brats towards their mothers, but they were not as knowledgeable and sensible as Wei Duan in front of them.

The two of them spoke quietly, and no one else noticed them.

Bai Jing used a small square towel to wipe Wei Yao's sweat from time to time, and asked about some matters of the Wei family.

She no longer had such a strong curiosity about the things Wei Liu was unwilling to tell her.

Sometimes it seems more interesting to peel out the true nature of things like peeling bamboo shoots.

The process of exploration is always more attractive than known answers.

Bai Jingzhi no longer dwelled on these things. She wanted to take some time to draw a character relationship diagram and sort out these things.

Just then, Zhou Yue'e also came back from outside.

She sat down next to Bai Jingyi, grabbed the chestnuts and pork jerky beside her and started eating.

"Duan'er, go and pour some water for Sister Yue'e."

After the casual conversation just now, Bai Jingzhi's envoy called Wei Duan without any courtesy.

Wei Duan was very happy. Only if he was useful to the fairy would he be blessed by her.

Before Bai Jingzhi could paint a rosy picture for him, he started painting a rosy picture for himself.

After everyone left happily, Bai Jingzhicai and Zhou Yue'e started to talk in private.

"Sister Yue'e, the rain outside has stopped. When are we going to set off?"

"The rain has indeed stopped, but we can't leave for a while." Zhou Yue'e said only this while chewing pork jerky.

Wei Duan was very excited and handed the bamboo tube of water to Zhou Yue'e, "Sister Yue'e, you have worked hard, drink some water!"

After Zhou Yue'e had eaten and drunk her fill, Bai Jingzhi asked the questions he wanted to ask.

"Sister Yue'e, is the water level rising somewhere else?"

"No, King Li has ordered that all refugees in Lianzhou be expelled within three days. We cannot pretend to be refugees."

This was all the information Zhou Yue'e found out.

"Then we can pretend to be merchants. We have household registration and travel permits, so they won't drive away innocent people."

Bai Jingzhi had a guess in his mind that Prince Li must have discovered that Lingzhou City was nothing more than an empty shell and there were too many refugees for him to support.

When people are hungry, they will cause chaos.

Prince Li is cunning, and I don’t know how Prince Yan and Prince Ming will respond.

They didn't get any benefits from Lingzhou City and their ambitions were exposed. The emperor shouldn't let them go easily, right?

Yanzhou escaped the disaster last time, but I don’t know how it will be this time.

They'd better stay away.

Bai Jingzhi got up and went to find Wei Liu to discuss the next step.

Instead of driving away the refugees, it is better to muddy the waters and let them fish in troubled waters.
