When the Third Lady heard what the Marquis's wife said, she opened her mouth but said nothing.

Of course, Goatee couldn't just believe what the Marquis's wife said. He would definitely go and check it out in person.

"Oh? Don't lie to me, or don't blame the guy in my hand for not obeying me."

The Marquis’ wife was threatened by the goatee and bit Qin Wan to death. “That woman is just an orphan from a mud-legged family. How can she be worthy of my Dalang? I wish she would die sooner! Humph!

When the time comes, I will find a good one for my Dalang, haha!"

The man with goatee stood up, ignored the marquis's wife, and turned to go to the servants.

There were not many servants in Youzhou City who followed the escapees, and the days that the Marquis’ wife spent in Youzhou could not be compared with those in Yanbei City.

The servants now don’t know Qin Wan’s situation. They only know that the eldest young master’s wife was thrown into Yanbei City and was not brought out.

The man with the goatee believed it about 80% now.

However, there was another person on his list, and that person was not Zhao Zhen’s daughter-in-law, but Zhao Zhen’s cousin.

It was said that Zhao Zhen loved this woman very much, and the new emperor demanded that this woman must be taken away as well.

In order to control Zhao Nanxiao with the Marquis' wife, Zhao Zhen would have to use his cousin to threaten him.

In short, we must grasp the weaknesses of these people.

In fact, the most regrettable thing about Goatee is that Zhao Zhen is too young and has no children, otherwise this would be the best handle.

In this way, both Zhao Zhen and Zhao Nanxiao can be easier to control.

He looked at the people who were controlled and ordered, "Immediately take them to the carriage and send them to Chang'an City!"

The man with goatee wanted to take Zhao Nanxiao away as soon as possible while he was in Suitai City and had no time to react.

"Yes, my lord!"

So, the Marquis's wife and the third wife's family were packed up and taken away overnight.

The Marquis's wife was sitting in the carriage and suddenly started praying. She hoped that Qin Wan could hide well and give her a big fat grandson.

Qin Wan, who was in the valley, sneezed several times in a row.

She looked at the heavy snow outside and rubbed her nose.

"Second Aunt, is the New Year coming soon?"

Uncle Zhao was plucking feathers from a pheasant. He echoed, "Yes, there are only ten days left before the Chinese New Year!"

The second wife added another bucket of hot water, "Yes, I think the pheasants on the mountain are all frozen, so they are easy to hunt!"

Zhao Yi said excitedly: "Mom, it's because my sister-in-law's tools are useful. Hehe, my shooting skills are getting more and more accurate now, haha!"

Zhao Yi was holding his small wooden spear, looking very proud.

Uncle Zhao had never expected that his son's toy would be so useful. "Awan, you are really smart. I think Yi'er's thing is very powerful!"

Qin Wan gave Uncle Zhao a thumbs up in her heart. Uncle Zhao was indeed very discerning.

She laughed and said, "That was just a joke. The crossbow is better, but we have limited materials."

Uncle Zhao just sighed and nodded, "Yes, to make a repeating crossbow, you need iron tools, which are hard to find nowadays."

Uncle Zhao worked as a blacksmith in a blacksmith shop for a while, and now he knows a lot more than before.

In the past, Second Uncle Zhao only managed the superficial affairs of the mansion, so he didn't know anything that a craftsman could do.

The family gathered together and chatted happily, and there were also the laughter of children outside.

Let these people who gathered here to escape the disaster briefly immerse themselves in this peace.

Eunuch Gao was sitting on the kang in the west room, listening to the noise outside.

Most of his injuries have now healed, and knowing that he is now in the territory of the Hu people, he would not easily talk about going to find the Marquis of Zhenbei.

He could only wait for news with peace of mind. After all, if he got out of here, he might not even see the Marquis of Zhenbei, but might even run into a patrol of the Hu people.

Moreover, to send news from the valley to Suitai City, one has to cross Guanshi City and Guyang City along the way, which is very dangerous.

It is so cold in the north, and Eunuch Gao is injured. I am afraid he will freeze to death before he reaches Suitai City.

So Eunuch Gao handed the prince's letter to Xiao Jingrui and asked him to give it to the Marquis of Zhenbei.

Xiao Jingrui had known Eunuch Gao before, so Eunuch Gao felt comfortable handing the letter to him.

If it were someone else, Eunuch Gao would not give in so easily.

Eunuch Gao looked at the heavy snow outside and felt heavy in his heart. He had no idea whether the prince was dead or alive.

The person is missing. He may have escaped or been killed by the King of Jin.

Thinking that the prince might be gone, Eunuch Gao's eyes were filled with tears.

In the dark night, a group of people were galloping quickly.

Zhao Zhen sat in the tent and looked at Zhao Nanxiao.

At this time, Zhao Nanxiao slowly opened his eyes.

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed, "Dad, you're awake!"

Zhao Nanxiao saw Zhao Zhen and nodded gently, "Now, what's going on outside?"

Zhao Zhen already knew the court's decision. "Dad, are we really going to withdraw? Are we really going to ignore the North? Dad, I developed gunpowder according to the recipe..."

Zhao Nanxiao stopped Zhao Zhen from talking, "Da Lang, keep that thing for now."

Zhao Zhen kept silent in time and changed the subject: "Dad, the new emperor doesn't care about the lives of the people in our northern land. We can't just sit there and wait for death."

Zhao Zhen did not have a good impression of the imperial court. They had been enduring all these years in hardship.

"Dad, Mom is in Youzhou City. We can't let her be taken away. We have to go and get her back as soon as possible."

Zhao Zhen was also the first to be concerned about the safety of the Marquis's wife. Now he was just waiting for Zhao Nanxiao to wake up and make a decision.

Zhao Nanxiao sighed, "I really didn't expect the new emperor to be so impatient, and I didn't expect his methods to be so direct."

Zhao Zhen's face was gloomy, "Dad, how about we rebel?"

Zhao Zhen still remembers how many people died in the North eight years ago.

He was only ten years old at that time, but he also remembered that the city was full of corpses.

The Hu people actually massacred the city. Too many people from the Shang Dynasty died in that battle.

They in the north had a deep blood feud with the Hu people, but the new emperor negotiated peace with the Liang Kingdom with just a few words.

He also gave up all the land north of Youzhou.

The new emperor completely abandoned his people.

When Zhao Zhen said this, there was no joking intention at all.

Zhao Nanxiao's eyes lit up slightly, but he quickly hid them, "Rebellion? Without a pretext, not only will we be despised by the people of the world, but it will also be unjustifiable.

Besides, the King of Qi is still keeping his troops in place, so it would be difficult for him to rebel.”

Zhao Zhen also fell silent for a moment.

The Zhao family has troops, but if they rebel against the imperial court for no reason, armies from other places may also besiege the Zhenbei Army.

The army from the south cannot come over, but the King of Qi’s army is in the northwest. By then, the Zhenbei Army may really be attacked from both sides.

At this time, a report came from outside the tent, "Master, Captain Xiao is here!"

Zhao Zhen didn't expect Xiao Jingrui to come down the mountain, so there must be something important, "Quick, invite him in!"

Xiao Jingrui shook off the snow and walked in from outside, "I am here to see you, Lord Marquis!"

Zhao Nanxiao looked at Xiao Jingrui and waved his hand, "We are all family, Jingrui, don't be polite."

Xiao Jingrui took out a letter from his bosom, "My Lord, the eldest young lady's wife saved an old man, and that man was none other than the prince's great companion Gao Jian. This is the prince's letter to you!"

Zhao Nanxiao took the letter, read it quickly, and then laughed out loud, "Okay, okay, God will not destroy my Zhao family!"

Zhao Nanxiao remembered that it was Qin Wan who saved Eunuch Gao, and looked at Zhao Zhen with a look of relief, "Da Lang, you married a lucky wife! Hahaha!"
