After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Shen Jinyao was not surprised by Dr. Gao's question; it was even expected.

After all, Doctor Gao is not the inexperienced Ergou, and Ergou has been chatting with Doctor Gao for such a long time, he must be trying to find out news about their family.

Therefore, she did not think of fooling Dr. Gao like she did to Ergou.

She said to Dr. Gao seriously, "My family's situation is a bit complicated. I can't tell you the truth for now. I hope you can forgive me."

Doctor Gao frowned. "Oh? How complicated could it be?"

Shen Jinyao smiled and shook her head.

Doctor Gao laughed and said, "If you can't tell me your true identity, I won't go with you."

His tone was very firm, and there was no room for negotiation on this matter.

Shen Jinyao was about to speak when she heard Doctor Gao continue, "Don't try to find a random excuse to fool me. I want to hear the truth."

truth?

Shen Jinyao was a little hesitant, because Doctor Gao was very important to their Shen family.

If it weren't for their grandmother and the ladies, if it were just a few young people like them, they would have found a way to escape unscathed even if they went to the Qiang tribe or the Western Regions, let alone Quzhou.

Doctor Gao noticed Shen Jinyao's hesitation and said, "This is very important to Ergou and me. If we can't be honest with each other, then there's no need for us to travel together."

Shen Jinyao: "That being said, I'm just worried that telling you would only make it more dangerous."

Or rather, once they know, they will be even more afraid to travel with them.

Doctor Gao stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

"Haha, it's just the same. Don't worry, we can handle it."

Now that things have come to this, Shen Jinyao has no need to hide anything.

but……

She said, "Then Dr. Gao, can you be honest with me? Can you tell me your secrets?"

Doctor Gao hesitated.

It seems that Shen Jinyao is not an ordinary person, she is very cautious.

Even if your own secrets are exposed, you must know the secrets of others.

Shen Jinyao continued, "I've known this since I was little: cooperation leads to win-win outcomes. Chopsticks sticking together won't break."

"I'm not sure what Doctor Gao is thinking, but Ergou has the same goal as us, which is to go to Quzhou."

"Before, maybe Doctor Gao wanted to return to Changshou Village, but now that you ask me, I guess he also wants to go to Quzhou with Ergou."

"In that case, how about we exchange secrets as you said, and then we can be allies. Although I don't know what Doctor Gao and Ergou want..."

"But if I'm ever needed in the future, I'll do my best to help you."

Shen Jinyao spoke very sincerely, and Doctor Gao nodded after listening to her.

The lady's analysis was indeed correct, and he had also clearly felt her attitude.

In other words, their identities are not unknown, but they are just a little dangerous, just like them.

He said, "Then do as the young lady says. Let's exchange secrets."

After Doctor Gao finished speaking, he did not say anything else.

Shen Jinyao narrowed her eyes. What an old fox! She had to speak first.

She smiled and said, "In that case, let me say this first: whoever tells a lie will not have a good death, and his family will suffer as well."

Doctor Gao almost choked on his spit. Did he have to swear such a cruel oath?

Shen Jinyao said, "We are from the Shen family, the Marquis' Mansion in Shangjing City. A few months ago, our family was confiscated and exiled... The place of exile is Quzhou."

Shen Jinyao explained her family situation in just a few words.

Doctor Gao, who was listening on the side, couldn't help but be surprised. He thought they were people from the underworld.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a high-ranking official in the Kyushu court.

From Shangjing City to Quzhou, from the northernmost to the southernmost part of Jiuzhou Kingdom, this journey took at least half a year.

Walking slowly and talking, there are also some in a year.

Doctor Gao asked his own question: "Since you are exiled, why are you allowed to ride in a carriage?"

There is no one to escort him?

Shen Jinyao said truthfully, "The Emperor ordered that my father and his family be escorted, but our female relatives and males under ten years old can go on their own."

That's it!

Doctor Gao remembered what Ergou had told him: on their journey from Changshou Village to here, they had experienced robbery, assassination, earthquake, drought...

The most terrifying thing is that he was accompanied by an elderly man and two pregnant women.

No wonder she wanted to find a doctor to follow her so much.

Judging from the appearance of the group of people, the lady in front of me is the oldest among them.

I guess he was forced to take on the responsibility.

"I wonder what you call Miss?"

"You're too polite, Doctor Gao. My name is Shen Jinyao, so just call me Jinyao."

Shen Jinyao thought for a moment and added, "Apart from our Shen family, the two brothers from the Zong family were previously in the Chiyan Gang. But don't worry, they now run an escort agency."

"Their mission is to escort us."

"The other five Meng brothers are friends I met from Baoyun Ridge. They were all hunters before, and they are not only familiar with the mountains and forests, but also have great strength."

"I wonder if there's anything else Dr. Gao wants to know?"

When Shen Jinyao said this, he held the sword in his hand against his chest, which was full of threat.

It’s not that Dr. Gao didn’t understand, but rather that he didn’t care much.

Because he knew that Shen Jinyao was telling him the truth, so he had to tell the same truth.

He shook his head, indicating that he had nothing to ask.

"It's really not easy for you to come this far."

Shen Jinyao smiled and said, "It's okay. But I've finished my story, and now it's time to listen to Doctor Gao."

Doctor Gao looked into the distance silently. He hadn't told his story for a long time.

To be honest, if he hadn't met Ergou half a year ago, he would have almost forgotten that he was a Qiang.

He glanced at Shen Jinyao who was looking at him, and said with a smile, "I don't know where to start for the moment."

Shen Jinyao simply sat on the ground and said, "It doesn't matter. We have plenty of time. They are cooking now."

Doctor Gao turned around and took a look. It should be the water that Lanlan took them to find.

He watched Lanlan sometimes surrounding the young lady of the Shen family, and sometimes surrounding the other young lady of the Shen family.

After a while, he started asking a few boys questions, and he looked more lively than he had ever seen him before.

Although he has lived in Changshou Village for many years, he has only allowed Lanlan to stay with him since she was born.

Don't let her play with people of the same age around her.

It would be fine if Changshou Village was just an ordinary village, but the key point is that it is full of descendants of previous dynasties.

If they knew that Lanlan and he were Qiang, they would probably kill them directly.

Shen Jinyao followed Dr. Gao's gaze and saw Lanlan busy as a bee.

Then Dr. Gao also sat on the ground and talked about his past.
