Quickly travel to save the cannon fodder? No, I will just flip the table

Qianqian immediately decided to say goodbye to her two new brothers and sisters.

She felt relieved to leave Liu'er to Gu Liliang.

During this journey, Gu Liliang has grown a lot visibly. He has changed from a young man who only knew how to eat, drink and enjoy himself to a responsible young man after several changes.

Perhaps, in the future, I will become a kind and righteous businessman.

I think it’s because after leaving the capital and seeing the real people’s lives, some of the naivety and arrogance naturally disappeared.

Along the way, the Lin Kingdom royal family did send people, but the Gu family was not a pushover either. Plus, Qianqian had the system, so they were able to avoid this side smoothly.

What they couldn't guard against were accidents, especially the ones near the border town. Gu Liliang understood even more profoundly what it meant to "live and drink in the rich houses while freeze to death on the streets."

Over the years, the Lin Kingdom had been waging wars abroad, mostly collecting grain and conscripting soldiers from nearby places, so this area was home to many elderly, weak, sick, disabled, and impoverished people.

When Gu Liliang saw Qianqian for the first time, he wanted to do something, but Qianqian didn't stop him, which led to a swarm of beggars coming up.

In the end, Qianqian acted decisively, gritted her teeth, and drove the carriage to create a path. Otherwise, they would have to beg for the rest of the journey.

There are also passers-by who attack and injure others, and shop owners who are greedy for money...

These people are really good at face-changing. They also went through the aisles and even went to the government, but it was useless. They couldn't even see the local officials. The yamen runners demanded money, otherwise they would have a face-to-face interview.

At that time, Gu Liliang was so angry that his face turned blue. Liu'er didn't know what she was thinking about and was very depressed.

In the end, they were unfamiliar with the place and Gu Liliang didn't even dare to reveal his identity or go to his own shop for help. The few of them could only accept the loss in silence.

By the time they were on the road again, they were almost penniless, and fortunately they were almost there.

Qianqian left most of the money to them and only kept a little for herself: "Brother, Liu'er, I have something urgent to do and I have to go ahead. We were originally going to separate when we reached the border town. Thank you for your care along the way."

The two were a little surprised. Gu Liliang said directly: "Why is it so sudden? I thought we were still together in the border town. My parents sent messages all the way here. My family has property in the border town. Why are you here? We can help you with anything!"

Liu Er didn't say much, she just said: "Sister Qianqian, I'll go with you!"

Gu Liliang was dumbfounded. What did that mean? These two were leaving, and he was the only one left? Was he still their half-brother?

"Well, take me with you!"

Qianqian was speechless: "Okay, stop it! I really have something to do."

She thought about it and realized that Xiao Yunchang's rebellion was a foregone conclusion. She left messages for other spies in the capital before leaving, but there was no movement at this time.

She was afraid that if she looked back, the car in front would get up and she would be the first one to be dealt with. The traces along the way were not difficult to find.

Qianqian didn't want to implicate the two, so she simply revealed her identity: "Actually, I'm from Wu. You've seen along the way that Lin is going to be in chaos, so I have to go back. If anyone asks about me in the future, you have to be more careful!"

Gu Liliang listened thoughtfully: "Wu? Wu is good, although it is a little weak, but my father said that the politics is clear. Qianqian, I will go to Wu with you!"

Liu Er also had the same idea: "Sister Qianqian, when my parents and I fled all the way to the capital, I have seen too many people here who do not treat people as human beings. So, sister, I don't want to stay here alone. Wherever you go, I will go too."

Qianqian was a little upset: "System, how can I do this? I can't support two people at once. Will they be messed up by Wu's own people?"

The system didn't think there was anything wrong with it: "Host, in recent years, people outside thought that Lin Country was great. Of course, the cities in the center were indeed good, but the periphery was not so good. However, this also attracted people from the borders of other countries to continue to pour in, and these people basically became slaves."

"There must be something hateful about pitiful people. After all, they were the ones who abandoned their own country first."

"Yes, host, so the Lin Kingdom is getting better and better, and the bad is getting worse and worse. Gu Liliang is now on the blacklist of the Lin Kingdom royal family, and his parents are also preparing to flee, so it is better for him to go to any country than to stay in Lin Kingdom."

"That seems to make sense. If the Gu family can take root in the Wu Kingdom, it could be a mutually beneficial thing!"

"Host, and Liu'er, she doesn't have much foundation, and when she gets older, it will be quite troublesome for her to be in the border town!"

Well, in this case, there was no need to go their separate ways. The three of them continued on their journey together, heading for the Wu border garrison camp.

At the same time, the commander in the camp, the Third Prince of Wu, was shocked. Didn't he just die on the battlefield? How come when he opened his eyes, he was taking a nap in his own tent?

Was it just a dream? But the dream was too tragic. He still remembered that Xiao Yunchang had just sent the intelligence saying that the Lin Kingdom had no unusual movements, but then the Lin Kingdom suddenly attacked from all directions, so the 100,000-strong army of the Wu Kingdom was surrounded.

They fought bloody battles all the way to break through, just to prevent the Lin army from breaking through the Wu border. They defended the last line of defense, at the painful price of almost annihilation of Wu's 100,000-strong army, in exchange for most of the Lin army suffering casualties.

At the last moment, as he leaned against the city wall with all his strength, he saw the reinforcements from the four countries arriving and the Lin Kingdom retreating.

It’s a pity that he couldn’t see what happened to the State of Wu later, but it’s easy to imagine that the State of Wu was severely damaged in this battle, and was later either annexed by the State of Lin or divided up by the other three kingdoms. In grief, he vomited blood and died.

The Third Prince was still immersed in the great sadness in his dream when a voice came from outside the tent: "General, I have something important to report."

"come in!"

"Marshal, this is the news about the Lin Kingdom brought by the spies!" The man handed over a note.

The Third Prince's expression froze. He took it and looked at it. His face changed drastically in an instant. He saw that the words on it were exactly the same as in his dream: "There is no unusual movement in the Lin Kingdom for the time being."

"Marshal, what are you doing?"

"What time of year is it now?"

Although the visitor was puzzled, he still answered honestly: "Marshal, it's just after the Double Ninth Festival!"

The Third Prince frowned. No, this exact same news came nearly two months earlier.

It was clear in the dream that the message came just before the winter solstice. It was freezing cold at that time, and there were few wars in the winter months in previous years, so he naturally thought it was reasonable.

However, he didn't expect that Lin Guo would sneak up on him when he was least prepared.

But why is the time deviation now?

Could this be a dream?

But before the Third Prince could figure it out, someone else came to report: "General, there's someone at the door asking to see you. He said he's a spy we planted in Lin Country, and he has a token as evidence!"
