Rebirth of an Old Farmer: Escape from Famine with Children and Grandchildren

Old Mrs. Liu was about to burst into a rage when Liu Zijing stopped her in time: "Mother, please be patient."

"It's just the gossip of ordinary people. Once that man's evil deeds are exposed to the world, they will change their words."

"The most urgent matter at the moment is to go to the county government office as soon as possible."

After hearing what her son said, Mrs. Liu finally suppressed her anger and shouted to the outside: "Hurry up and get going!"

The driver quickly accelerated and drove towards the county government office.

……

Outside Qingshui Town.

Shu Yan looked at the bustling, peaceful and harmonious town in front of him, a hint of warmth in his eyes.

"Yanzhi really lived up to expectations. Even a small town like this has been managed in an orderly manner.

It is truly a blessing for the people of Huizhou to have him in charge."

Lieutenant General Lin looked at the scene before him and felt relieved. "Lord Gu is very good at handling civilian affairs. In addition, Huizhou has a geographical advantage, which makes it easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, we have avoided the invasion of the White Turban Army."

"Now that the superiors have sent a general to garrison Huizhou, it is also a sign of their trust and reliance on your abilities."

After hearing these words, the smile on Shu Yan's face faded a little.

He didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly: "Let's go into town."

Lieutenant General Lin noticed Shu Yan's change, realized that he had spoken out of turn, and felt extremely regretful.

In fact, the general's appointment to Huizhou was strongly recommended by the prince. Although he knew that the general did not want to have a close relationship with the prince, he inadvertently touched on a sensitive topic.

Really confused.

At this time, Su Nianying reined in her horse and stepped forward: "Brother Lin, don't blame yourself."

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, as a minister, how can Brother Shu interfere in the affairs of the royal family?"

What's more, coming to Huizhou may not be a bad thing.

Many thoughts flashed through Su Nianying's mind, but she looked relieved.

Lieutenant General Lin looked at Su Nianying and sighed.

"Miss Su, now that the White Scarf Army has disappeared, why do you still insist on following us?"

Su Nianying pursed her lips, a hint of unwillingness flashing in her eyes.

When they were in Tuzhou, Shu Yan was determined to send her to Huizhou, but she firmly opposed it and even threatened with her life, so that he was able to stay in the army.

However, despite staying, her relationship with Shu Yan became increasingly distant, even worse than strangers.

Although Su Nianying was unwilling and wanted to leave, she was afraid that Shu Yan would not come to find her once she left.

So she delayed until now, trying hard to show her goodwill to Shu Yan through Lieutenant General Lin, and trying to pass on all the information she had about the White Turban Army to him, and only then was she able to reluctantly ease the relationship between the two.

But it was just a matter of going from strangers to acquaintances.

Now that the White Scarf Army has been defeated, Shu Yan will soon be stationed in Huizhou, facing the situation of being marginalized and plotted against, until the dark moment when he can no longer bear it.

She must not leave!

Su Nianying looked at the tall and handsome man in front of her, her eyes full of affection.

At first, she was just curious, and because she was rescued from the refugees by Shu Yan, she wanted to repay the favor.

But as time went by, Su Nianying finally fell deeply in love with the man after witnessing his wise and decisive moments in the wars.

She began to sympathize with this man who was nearly ten years older than her.

Su Nianying bit her lip and shook her head stubbornly: "I won't leave."

"I will always follow Brother Shu, Brother Lin, there's no need to persuade me."

Looking at Su Nianying's stubbornness, Adjutant Lin could only shake his head helplessly.

As the team entered Qingshui Town, the grand scene immediately attracted everyone's attention.

This army, in particular, looks more majestic and solemn than other troops.

Even the soldiers exuded a strong murderous aura, and their cold eyes swept over, making everyone around Sun Wei tremble with fear.

Not to mention the great general who was leading the group. He sat high on his horse and glanced at everyone with a cold gaze, which made people feel like worshipping him.

In an instant, the whole city was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

But Shu Yan frowned slightly and looked at a carriage speeding in the distance.

His gaze followed the blood drops on the ground, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and then he suddenly urged his horse to chase.

Others followed.

After the group walked away, the people who were trembling with fear dared to whisper: "Who is this big shot this time? Why is he so scary?"

"I haven't heard that any army is going to pass through our town?"

"I heard about it! Those people are none other than the Shu Family Army that has become so famous recently!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd excitedly spoke out, immediately attracting questions from others: "Is this true? Why are the Shu family army so fierce?"

"What do you know? If you're not fierce, how can you destroy the White Scarf Army?"

"The garrison of Jizhou was not very aggressive, but they were massacred by the White Turban Army!"

"Did the Shu family army really come to Huizhou? Why was there no news before?"

This remark immediately drew a disdainful glance from the other party: "That's just because you're out of touch with the news."

"This matter was reported in the official newspaper half a month ago. From now on, the Shu family army will be our garrison force in Huizhou!"

"oops!"

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

For a moment, fear overwhelmed joy.

"Huizhou has always been peaceful. Why would we need such a fierce army? Shouldn't other states need it more?"

This question made the man stutter. He choked and then replied impatiently: "These are decisions made by the higher-ups. How would we ordinary people know?"

"whispering sound!"

Putting aside the resistance of the people in the city, Shu Yan did indeed speed all the way and finally stopped that carriage.

"Shut up!"

The coachman was driving leisurely when suddenly a general riding a tall horse appeared in front of him. He was so scared that he hurriedly pulled the reins to stop the carriage.

The Liu family mother and son in the car almost fell down due to the sudden braking. They immediately became furious: "Liu Da, how can you drive like this!"

The coachman looked at Shu Yan, whose face was ashen and whose eyes were as fierce as a demon, and was so frightened that his tongue became tied. "Master, Madam, someone is stopping the carriage!"

Liu Zijing suddenly pulled open the curtain and looked over with a pale face, but when he saw Shu Yan, he was immediately shocked.

He had been smart since he was young and was very good at observing people's words and expressions. He could tell at a glance that this general was no ordinary person.

But why haven’t I heard that there is a new general in Qingshui Town?

Liu Zijing quickly suppressed his anger and even got out of the car, bowing respectfully. He asked with a smile, "Where are you from, General?"

"But what's the urgent matter?"

His specialty is saying things differently to different people.

However, Shu Yan didn't even look at him. He just stretched out his whip, pointed at the back of the carriage and asked, "What's in it?"

Liu Zijing's expression changed slightly.

Then he chuckled twice and said, "It's a fresh deer that was just caught from the mountain. I'm preparing to present it to the county magistrate."

"is it?"

A hint of sarcasm appeared on Shu Yan's lips.

Liu Zijing secretly groaned in his heart, but still maintained a respectful smile on the surface, but Shu Yan's face suddenly darkened.
