"That would be best. Let Li Huailiang find Zirui on his own. Don't make a big fuss about it. Do it quietly."

"If you find Zirui, have Li Huailiang send a pigeon back as soon as possible."

"If we don't find them, we'll make a plan to see how to eliminate the bandits in Qingfeng Village. Then we'll return to the base as soon as possible."

"Okay, go and make the arrangements quickly. Report as soon as you have any news."

"Your Highness, I will arrange it right away."

The eldest prince waved his hand.

The people in the military tent quietly retreated.

The eldest prince sat there and pondered for a while.

It seems that Qingfeng Village must be eliminated and there is no time to delay. Zirui is also likely to be among the refugees in Shilin Town.

It is better to be safe than sorry. It is more reassuring to exclude the bandits in Qingfeng Village.

Moreover, the bandits in Qingfeng Village also blocked the refugees' way to the south. At this time, the people living there were already having a hard time, and encountering Qingfeng Village was even more of a disaster.

Let’s not talk about how the eldest prince tried to eliminate Qingfeng Village.

In Shilin Town, Yun the Butcher had just returned from a meeting.

"Boss, please eat first." Zhang said, and brought out the meal reserved for Yun the butcher.

"Okay, wife." Butcher Yun sat down with a heavy face.

"Boss, Yiyi has already told us about Qingfeng Village. Has the village reached any conclusion?"

Butcher Yun sighed heavily, "The people sent out by the village to gather information have all heard about Qingfeng Village."

"The villagers haven't come up with a solution yet. Some say we should take the small road, and some say we should take the official road."

"No matter which path we choose, there will be people who oppose it. Everyone was arguing so much that the village chief got fed up and asked everyone to go back first."

"The village chief is also afraid of the bandits from Qingfeng Village, so I don't think he has made up his mind yet."

"Boss, if you ask me, we probably won't be able to come to a conclusion even if we wait until tomorrow."

"If we take the small roads, we can't use cars. Every household has so many things, and it's not realistic to rely on people to carry them all on their backs."

"If I choose the main road, if I follow Yiyi's advice, I always feel it's not safe."

"We are poor, with little food and money, but every household has a car. Just for this, Qingfeng Village can rob us."

"Wife, I think so too. Besides, when the people in our village, young and old, meet the people from Qingfeng Village, they are there to send people to them."

"However, there are many people in our village, and everyone has different opinions. The village chief wants to see when other refugee groups will set off.

"Our village will follow together. With more people, it will also be a deterrent to Qingfeng Village."

Yun Yiyi was sitting nearby, and when she heard what Yun the Butcher said, she immediately showed an expression of disapproval.

"Dad, even though we set out with other refugee groups, it seems that we have more people. But it's useless."

"Think about it. We don't know the other refugees, and we don't trust each other. If the bandits from Qingfeng Village came out to rob us, I guess we would all scatter in a swarm."

"In this case, there is no fighting power at all. Everyone is on their own and they can't pose any threat to Qingfeng Village."

“So, even if we set out with other refugee groups, we must be prepared.”

"The key is that the villagers are still too naive. According to the information we have heard, the bandits from Qingfeng Village will definitely come down the mountain and intercept the refugees passing by."

"Don't be optimistic and think that the bandits from Qingfeng Village will not come down the mountain. I can clearly say that the bandits from Qingfeng Village are short of money, people, and food."

"Refugees like us always have things that the Qingfeng Village bandits want. So, what we need to consider now is to decide which road to take and how to go."

"We have to be quick. When I was in town today, I saw several groups of people who were looking for information just like us. I guess some of them were from Qingfeng Village."

"Staying outside Shilin Town like this is too conspicuous. Unless we go back, the bandits in Qingfeng Village might let us go."

"Yiyi, it's impossible to go back. We went through so much trouble to get here, we definitely can't turn back."

"Besides, even if we go back, it won't be suitable for us to live there. We can only consider moving forward."

"Yes, Yiyi. We definitely can't turn back. Along the way we've been traveling, we've either been short of water or short of food, and the government hasn't done anything."

"We can only live a good life by moving forward now. So, just think about moving forward."

"Dad, I understand what you and mom mean. But no matter which choice you make, Qingfeng Village is a roadblock."

"There is no good solution now. Let's just listen to the village chief and wait a little longer. There are refugees coming here every day on Guanlu Road."

"If you are in a hurry to leave, we can also wait and see for reference."

Butcher Yun sighed deeply, "Yes, now we can only wait. However, the weather is getting colder and colder, and we can't afford to waste time."

"Dad, we can't just keep wasting time. Have you forgotten that the bandits from Qingfeng Village will come down the mountain to collect our food soon?"

"If we haven't escaped by then, we will probably be treated the same as the villagers in Qingfeng Village."

Zhang was a little hesitant, "Yiyi, are you saying that by that time, our food will be confiscated by the bandits from Qingfeng Village?"

"Yes, mother. As long as we don't leave, the bandits from Qingfeng Village will come looking for us."

"Now that Yiyi said that, it seems that we can't stay in Shilin Town peacefully."

"Mom, the bandits in Qingfeng Village just regard the villagers in this area as food bags."

“This statement is quite vivid.”

Butcher Yun smiled bitterly. It was just a bag of grain. It was the kind that wouldn't run away. It was the kind that could take grain without limit.

"Yiyi, what you said makes me even less able to eat. I'm really worried. We are just trying to escape a famine, why is it so difficult?"

"Dad, you should eat when you need to. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. This difficulty will be solved sooner or later."

"Yes, head of the family, you should eat quickly. You have been busy for most of the day, you can't not eat. Just listen to Yiyi. There are so many people in our village, we can always find a solution."

Butcher Yun thought about it and decided to pick up his chopsticks and eat.

At this time, Xie Zirui pulled Yun Yiyi's clothes and said, "Yiyi, come here. I have something to tell you."

"What's wrong, Brother Zirui? Do you have something to tell me?"
