All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

Although they are a family, they have been eating summer cicadas since they were exiled.

They were also very embarrassed.

Xia Chan smiled and said, "It's okay, just a snack."

Once she unblocks that pedestrian street, everyone will have no problem soaking in snacks.

A box of chocolates with liqueur filling is nothing nowadays.

And they also need to eat something to replenish their energy.

Just then, Mrs. Xie came over, and Xia Chan asked her to take the chocolates and distribute them to the Xie family.

The two little girls also followed Mrs. Xie.

Xia Chan stood up with the peeled chocolate, walked to Xie Lin, and put the chocolate in his palm.

"Eat sweets."

"Xiaochan, I'm not hungry."

Even though Xie Lin knew that his wife could take objects from a distance, he would not consider it a waste or luxury.

Their conditions are very poor now, so they should save as much as possible.

For example, just leave candy for them to eat.

He is a grown man and doesn't need to eat.

Xia Chan glanced at Xie Lin.

She took out the jade ring hanging around her neck and waved it in front of him.

"Now I am the head of the Xie family!"

The ring, which represents the absolute prestige of the head of the Xie family, is hanging around her neck.

"..."

She is like this, how can Xie Lin not obey?

Of course you have to listen.

He looked at the chocolate in his hand, pinched it lightly with his thumb, and used a little skill to split the chocolate into two halves.

Half of it was given to Xia Chan.

Xia Chan blinked.

Xie Lin: “Let’s eat together.”

She shared the hardships with him, and he wanted to share the blessings with her.

Xia Chan looked at the half chocolate, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She really had a good eye, and the paper figures she liked were all of excellent quality.

They each took half of the chocolate and put it into their mouths.

Chocolate is not a rare thing for Xia Chan, a person from the modern world.

She didn't even like eating this before.

I always feel it is too sweet and I am afraid I will get diabetes.

But maybe the environment has changed?

Or is there some other reason?

Anyway, when she ate this chocolate again today, she surprisingly felt it was very good, with just the right sweetness, and she felt it was worth a try?

Maybe my mood has changed?

Xia Chan smiled, looked up at the foot of the mountain, and asked Xie Lin where they were going next.

"I want to go to the border."

Xie Lin looked at the mountains in the distance and whispered, "I want to see with my own eyes the place where my father and brother sacrificed their lives. There are so many brothers here. I want to collect the remains for them myself..."

Now, according to their walking speed, it would definitely take several months or even half a year to get to the border.

It takes such a long time, even if everything goes smoothly, it will be the end of the year when we get there.

When the weather is snowing and windy, where can we find the remains of the fallen soldiers?

Xia Chan could understand Xie Lin's feelings.

But she didn't support him doing so.

"Thank you Lin."

She turned her head and looked at him very seriously: "What happened to Xie Jiajun is a very heavy blow to everyone."

"But the wisest thing for us to do is definitely not to go to the border now."

Because he had read the entire book, Xia Chan knew that the emperor would die of illness in the early spring of next year.

By then, several princes and the crown prince would fight for power, and the already precarious empire would be even more torn apart.

Troubled times make heroes.

For those of them who are burdened with a lot of crimes, the most convenient way for them to clear themselves of the charges is to establish themselves as kings, have their own power, and put an end to this chaotic world.

It is now mid-May, and there are only eight to nine months left until the beginning of next year.

During this period of time, they had to build their own team, and time was very tight.

There is no need to worry about money. After all, Xia Chan can go to the national treasury, the warehouses of corrupt officials and the like to collect some funds.

But training people takes time.

Xie Lin turned to look at Xia Chan, and seeing her determined eyes, he nodded solemnly.

"Okay, let's go to Lingnan first."

"Let's find a place to settle grandma and the others first, so it will be more convenient for us to go out and do things."

It is true that everyone in the Xie family knows kung fu, but after all, they are orphans and a widow, with the elderly and children to take care of, so it is not convenient for them to do anything.

No one would bring the elderly and children to rebel.

Even if Xia Chan has confidence in herself and Xie Lin, she will not be blindly arrogant and think that she can be invincible in the world by leading the elderly and children.

However, if it is just to settle the elderly and children, Xie Lin has a good place to recommend.

That place was a valley with steep cliffs hundreds of feet high on both sides and canyons in front and behind.

In front of the canyon is a primeval forest that blocks out the sun.

After passing through the deep forest, there is a gentle slope with a winding river flowing by the side.

When Xia Chan listened to Xie Lin's description, she felt like it was a paradise.

"Where is that location?"

"It's not far from the pass. The nearest village is dozens of miles away from the canyon."

Ordinary villagers would not go to that place.

As for how Xie Lin discovered it?

That was all thanks to him riding at night one night, wanting to take a shortcut and choose to pass through the forest that the nearby villagers said was a man-eating forest to stop the enemy.

It was for this reason that he discovered by chance the paradise-like place hidden behind the primeval forest.

Xia Chan nodded.

"Okay, let's go over there."

Put the children and the elderly there, and then they will come out, organize their own troops, and fight for supremacy in this chaotic world.

After discussing it, we decided to set off.

After everyone got up, they cleaned up all the traces of where people had been.

Make sure not to leave any clues for the subsequent teams chasing them.

Even the little ones like Xie Wenbo would follow the adults and clean up the "tail" properly.

Xie Lin had led troops on the front lines before, so he naturally knew what kind of disguise could deceive people.

So after cleaning it up, he deliberately broke off some of the branches around it.

Yes, that's right, all the branches around were broken by him.

In this way, even if Hu Fan leads his men here, he will be distracted and think more because there are traces of man-made things on all sides.

It wasn't enough for Xie Lin, he also left a footprint in one direction, knocking off a few fresh leaves, pretending to be a group of people fleeing in that direction in a panic, and then used his lightness skills to turn back.

Xia Chan looked at Xie Lin leaping into the air and couldn't help but let out a cry of approval.

This is quite amazing.

She is the heir of an ancient martial arts family, which means she is the heir of traditional martial arts.

But she doesn't know how to do Qinggong.

At most, you can run a little faster.

She really couldn't fly forward by stepping on the leaves like Xie Lin did.

"Want to learn Qinggong?"

Xie Lin stopped beside her and saw her looking at him with sparkling eyes. He asked with some amusement.

Xia Chan shook his head.

“I can’t learn it.”

"why?"
