Xie Songlin asked Li to boil a pot of hot water, and then he and Xie Wanxing secretly sprinkled the large bag of cold medicine into it. After stirring it, the color looked more like boiled Chinese medicine.

Xie Songlin had asked Xie Dazhong to notify as many people as possible before. Now a long queue has formed in front of Xie Songlin and his big pot of medicine. One person from each family is queuing up here with a water bag, and everyone's face is filled with curiosity and confusion.

Xie Songlin cleared his throat forcefully so that everyone around him could hear him clearly. "It's cold out here, and everyone's been traveling hard. Drinking from this pot can prevent colds. Everyone, come and get some. Share it with your family while it's still hot. Everyone should have a few sips. It would be troublesome if you caught a cold on the road, and you would definitely not be able to continue your journey."

Xie Bi was the first in line. He smiled at Xie Songlin and said, "Brother Songlin, you are so thoughtful. It is indeed still cold at night. I will get some more for my parents to drink as a precaution."

Another person who was queuing a little behind heard what Xie Bi said and quickly followed suit, "I want one too. I felt a little cold last night, so I need one too. I don't want to catch a cold."

He knew very well that if he really caught a cold due to the cold, it would be a big trouble. Not to mention the pain, no one would be willing to stop and wait for him. They all hoped to reach the capital safely as soon as possible. How could they delay the entire team's journey because of one person?

Moreover, this cold is contagious. Even if Xie Songlin is a good person, he would not let him get on the carriage to travel, as his family is in the carriage.

So at this moment, this preventive medicinal soup is like a life-saving straw. You must get a bowl and drink it quickly to reduce the risk of getting sick. You must not fall behind on the road.

Thinking of this, those who had caught a cold at night felt even more grateful. It was really rare that Xie Songlin could help think of this. The villagers received the medicine to prevent colds one after another, and each of them thanked Xie Songlin profusely.

Xie Songlin waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. Let's take care of each other. From now on, we'll cook a pot every time we set up camp and share it with everyone. I hope we can all reach the capital safely."

When everyone heard this, their eyes were filled with gratitude and respect for Xie Songlin.

Everyone started packing up and getting ready to leave. Xie Songlin leaned over to his eldest daughter and whispered, "It still has to be you, Sister Xing. You're really good at winning people over."

Xie Wanxing said, "I'm not just trying to win people's hearts. We're all from the same village, and we should help each other and overcome difficulties together. Besides, I'm doing this to prevent you, Dad, from having to make a difficult moral choice, okay?"

Xie Songlin chuckled and said, "Sister Xing is the one who understands the bigger picture, but your little brain is really quick. Daddy can't compare to you."

"Keep a low profile, Boss Xie." Xie Wanxing was amused by her father and laughed out loud, then turned around and returned to the carriage.

Not long after she sat down, she heard Xie An's childish voice calling out, "Sister! I'll sit with you!"

As soon as Xie An climbed onto the carriage with great effort, he couldn't wait to rush to Xie Wanxing and quickly hugged his sister's arm. Xie Wanxing was only a little taller than Xie An, a five-year-old child, so it was indeed more comfortable for them to sit close together in the carriage.

But her arms are really going to be numb from hugging!!

Relying on the cold medicine that Xie Wanxing took out from the space every day for prevention, the effect of the journey in the past few days was obvious. Even those elderly people with weaker bodies did not show any symptoms of cold. No one fell behind, and the team still maintained a relatively stable state of progress.

However, the number of people on the road gradually increased. Some of them had smaller teams with lighter and simpler luggage, and they also had horse-drawn carriages to travel. They soon surpassed the team that Xie Songlin was in.

Xie Wanxing didn't sleep in the car today. He sat beside the shaft and chatted quietly with Xie Songlin.

Xie Songlin looked solemn as he looked at the carriages speeding by. He said, "There are suddenly more people on the road. It seems everyone has heard the news and knows that danger is coming, so they are fleeing."

Xie Wanxing: "Yes, the Xiongnu must have already reached Miaozhou. Who could have imagined that Miaozhou would now become a living hell? I really don't know what will happen to those people who haven't had time to escape."

She sighed again: "If only there were no wars, it would be wonderful if all the people in the world could live and work in peace and contentment."

Xie Songlin frowned. "The Xiongnu have always lived in that remote area, far away from Yongzhou and Miaozhou, separated by mountains and rivers. Why would they suddenly appear in this frontier area? This is completely unreasonable. If they didn't have an extremely strong chance of victory and were completely sure of profit from this adventure, they would definitely not have expended so much energy and traveled such a long way to attack Yongzhou."

Xie Wanxing was also confused: "Why did the Governor of Yongzhou rebel?"

"I don't know. Maybe the Huns promised him something?"

She raised an eyebrow. "How much of a benefit would it take to make him bear the stigma of treason? The Xiongnu are brutal and brutal. He's already a provincial governor, a highly influential figure in Dajing. Could the Xiongnu even offer him a higher position? That's obviously unlikely. Furthermore, in terms of national strength, the Xiongnu are far inferior to our Dajing. With his status and position, how could he be easily tempted by ordinary jewelry and jade? There must be a deeper conspiracy and reason hidden here, but we just don't know yet."

"I really want to know what my cousin and his companion found in Yongzhou." She lowered her head slightly, biting her nails subconsciously as she murmured, "Maybe that's the key to everything."

"Ah, that kid Cheng Fei, he will definitely keep this kind of thing a secret. He probably won't easily tell outsiders like us."

"Dad, what did Mr. Zhao say to you?"

"He didn't say anything. He suddenly returned to the academy that day, looking very hurried. As soon as he came back, he immediately began to arrange for the evacuation of all the students and sent them all home. He just gave me a brief explanation of the situation and then left. He told us to go to the capital and said he would make arrangements for us there." Xie Songlin thought for a moment and said, "I think those drawings you drew should be very useful."

Xie Wanxing buried his head in his arms and said sullenly, "This feeling of not knowing anything is a bit bad. I can only drift with the tide in this invisible torrent. I have no control over my own direction, and I don't know what is waiting for us ahead."

"Then find a way to control it. A blessing in disguise. Leaving Qingshui Town this time may not be all bad luck. Ah Xing, you are so smart. There is another world waiting for us in the capital." Xie Songlin clenched his fist.

"...What are you burning about, Dad?"
