In the evening, Qin Wan and her group gathered together.

Qin Wan recounted what happened during the day, "Now I think staying in the city may not be a good choice."

The second wife became anxious, "Awan, that Hu leader really likes you."

Qin Wan said without hesitation, "He may be interested in me, but this is not the reason why I plan to leave. We can't stay in Yanbei City forever and be oppressed by the Hu people."

What Qin Wan didn't say was that the reason why she had not been disturbed in the past few months in Yanbei City was that she was taken care of by Langbu, otherwise there would be many Hu soldiers coming to extort money from her every day.

It was extremely difficult for her to run a shop safely.

Now that she is pregnant, Rambu must be annoyed.

Uncle Zhao has always wanted to leave. “The eldest brother’s wife is right. We can’t just sit there and wait for death.” Especially when he saw Zhao Qing, who was already 12 years old. His girl was getting more and more beautiful. It was very dangerous for him to stay here.

Qin Wan dressed herself like that and attracted the attention of the Hu people.

Wouldn't it be even more dangerous if it was her daughter's turn?

The Second Madam was also anxious at this time, "It's not that easy to tell everyone. Among us, who knows Kung Fu?"

There was a deep sense of helplessness in the second lady's tone.

Zhao Rong punched the ground angrily, "It's all my fault. I should have worked harder and learned some martial arts."

Xie Yu'an glanced at Zhao Rong and said, "It's useless for you to say this now. It's better to plan it carefully."

Zhao Rong immediately glared at him, "Plan? Why don't you come up with a feasible plan?"

Xie Yu'an didn't care about the doubt in Zhao Rong's tone. He took out a piece of paper from his arms and said, "Take a look. This is the schedule of the Hu people's daily street patrols. This is also the defense map from our house to the blacksmith shop."

The Hu people occupied Yanbei City, but there were Han slaves in the city. In order to prevent them from causing chaos, the Hu people had soldiers patrolling and guarding various sections of the road in the city.

"If we want to leave Yanbei City, we must first avoid alerting these people."

Uncle Zhao looked at the mark on the map and sighed, "If this is the case, it will be extremely difficult for us to get out. And even if we reach the city gate, we can't get out because the city wall is so high."

The second wife was also a little discouraged. "Yes, we don't have a carriage, and we have a child. Awan is pregnant again. How far can we run?"

When everyone heard this, they fell silent.

The two children, Zhao Qing and Zhao Yi, both had bitter faces.

Qin Wan had been listening to other people's ideas without interrupting them. Now she said, "Second Aunt, don't worry. I have an idea."

Swish, swish, swish...

The six people looked over at the same time and stared at Qin Wan closely.

Zhao Rong was the first to ask, "Sister-in-law, what can you do?"

Qin Wan gave Zhao Rong a soothing look, signaling him not to get excited, "Did you also hear that Lang Bu mention the autumn harvest today?"

"Yes, I heard it. What does it matter, sister-in-law?"

Xie Yu'an's eyes lit up, "You mean, we can sneak out of the city by going to the fields to collect food."

Qin Wan nodded, "This is the most likely method. Now it is the autumn harvest season. The Hu people have occupied Yanbei City. They want the grain from the fertile fields outside the city. Now the Hu army is still fighting against the Zhenbei Army, so the task of collecting the grain will definitely fall to the Han slaves."

Uncle Zhao also understood that although he was not in charge of military affairs in the Marquis' Mansion, the farms and shops outside the Marquis' Mansion of Zhenbei were all managed by Uncle Zhao.

He knew when to look for farmhands for the autumn harvest every year.

"The eldest brother's wife is right. If we want to leave the city, we must seize this opportunity."

The Second Lady asked again: "What about Qing'er and Yi'er? Can they get out too?"

Zhao Yi immediately became nervous and grabbed the Second Madam's sleeve, "Mom, I don't want to be separated from you."

Qin Wan patted Zhao Yi's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we'll leave together if we have to." Then she looked at everyone and said, "Don't worry, Yi'er and Qing'er are not young anymore, they are half laborers. I will go and ask about the specific situation of grain collection tomorrow, and how many people can go out from one family. We need to find out all these clearly."

Xie Yu'an nodded, "We need to make some weapons. Since we are planning to escape, there will definitely be pursuers when we escape. We can't run away without weapons."

Qin Wan smiled and said, "I have weapons. I'll take them out and show them to you."

After Qin Wan finished speaking, she stood up and went back to her room.

During the time that Qin Wan stayed in the city alone, she had nothing to do and made a lot of weapons.

She even made a few grenades that could explode. This is quite difficult to make as there aren't many materials available, and there are only five grenades, and she hasn't tested whether they work.

But she had no intention of exposing her grenades and guns. These were her things for self-protection and she would not give them up.

Besides, they have never seen grenades and guns, and have never operated them, so it is easy for them to hurt themselves.

Qin Wan took out the repeating crossbow she had made. She had made three of them, and including the one she had custom-made at the blacksmith shop, that made four crossbows in total.

After Qin Wan took out the crossbow, Xie Yu'an was surprised, "You have this crossbow?"

Qin Wan smiled and said, "Well, I made these three, and this one was custom-made before."

Xie Yu'an took one and examined it carefully. "I had one before, but I lost it on the road. How did you do it?"

Qin Wan pondered and said, "The one you ordered was made according to my drawings."

Xie Yu'an didn't expect Qin Wan to be able to do this, and he looked at Qin Wan several more times.

The others saw the two of them going back and forth as if they knew each other before, and they had different thoughts in their minds.

Zhao Rong looked at Qin Wan, then at Xie Yu'an, and suddenly felt a sense of crisis, wondering if his sister-in-law was going to run away.

No, he has to protect his elder brother's sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, have you and Brother Xie known each other before?"

Qin Wan admitted generously: "We only met once."

Xie Yu'an also said: "I once ordered a repeating crossbow from the blacksmith shop, but only today did I know that it was Madam Zhao's ingenuity."

"Oh!" Zhao Rong said, feeling that it was more than that.

The Second Madam changed the subject in time, "Awan, how do you use this crossbow? Show me how."

Qin Wan handed one of them to the Second Madam, "Second Aunt, let me teach you how to operate it. With a crossbow, we women can protect ourselves."

The second wife nodded repeatedly, "This is good, this is good!"

It’s not that she dislikes her husband, but when there is danger, her husband is really useless. The second wife wants to learn a way to save her own life.

"Awan, teach Second Aunt how to use it."

So Qin Wan demonstrated it to the Second Madam, "Second Aunt, the biggest advantage of this crossbow is that it is effortless, and women can also use it well."

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Uncle Zhao spoke up at this time, "We only have four now, which is not enough. We need to make one or two more, one for each of us adults."

Qin Wan said at this time: "Maybe we don't have enough time, let's make more arrowheads. Then I will follow behind Second Aunt and let Second Aunt protect me."

When the Second Madam heard Qin Wan say this, her eyes suddenly turned red, "No, keep the last one for Awan."
