The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

Jiang Yan felt distressed when she saw her daughter pouting and staring blankly at a small tree.

But thinking about my daughter's temper, I think she should change it. Otherwise, if she continues to speak without restraint like this, she will get into trouble sooner or later.

Jiang Yan thought it over again and again, and then explained to her daughter in detail that in this world, if they want to live well, they must be careful in what they say and do.

Yi Chen also knew that this was an ancient feudal society, and the emperor had the final say in everything.

The simplest thing: if the king orders his subject to die, the subject has to die.

Just like the Ye family, it is the best example.

Yichen understood everything, but sometimes she just couldn't figure it out. After listening to her mother's earnest instructions, she nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

...

At the gate of Zhang's courtyard, Zhang Xiaoqi sat on the ground and listened quietly to the four Guans, mother and son, telling them everything they knew. Then he told his wife and children about the decision made by the higher-ups.

"We also saw the fire here on the hillside of the centurion's residence, and the centurion led us back as quickly as possible."

"Thank goodness you're back. We were all scared to death."

"Mom, I was a little scared before, but I wasn't scared to death." Dasheng quickly spoke to prove himself.

"I won't be scared to death." Ersheng also shouted immediately.

Sansheng was still a little slow. Before he could open his mouth, he heard his father interrupting his two brothers.

"Stop arguing and listen to what I have to say."

"Ah."

"The captain should have gone over there to check. If there's nothing serious, we have to go back to the captain's office."

"Going back?" Guan's heart was still in turmoil. She wanted her man to be at home and give her courage.

"Of course we have to go. The higher-ups have issued a death order to defend Black Rock City to the death."

After listening to what her husband said, Guan stopped trying to persuade him to stay and went into the house to pack his luggage.

Captain Dong had also reviewed the entire incident and felt that the Ye family had handled it well. He gave Zhang Xiaoqi a few words of advice and was about to leave with his men.

After the captain took his men away, Zhang Xiaoqi gathered all the military households of the thirteen banners.

Every household contributed one male child. In the entire Thirteen Banners, except for the Wang and Jiang families (Jiang Yan's mother and daughter), every household contributed one male child.

The eldest son of the Ye family is Ye Zhanyang. As a great general who once dominated the northwest and made the Turks tremble in fear, his favorite thing is the battlefield.

Zhang Xiaoqi looked at the energetic Ye Zhanyang and felt that they were sure to win.

Before leaving, the captain repeatedly warned: "We must recruit the boss of the Ye family. With him, we will win."

In fact, Captain Dong wanted to bring all the male members of the Ye family, headed by General Ye, so that wherever the Xishan Captains went, they would be invincible.

However, there are rules for exiled military households, and he cannot make an exception.

In the past few days, when he had nothing to do, he would curse without naming names, calling them idiots. Throughout the Great Zhou, even the children wearing open-crotch pants knew that the Ye family was loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

But now he was accused of a false crime and exiled to Black Stone City as a military household.

Isn't it just that he wants the Ye family's military power? His greed is so ugly.

Damn it, if it were him, he would either cut the old guy's throat in the middle of the night or beat him up beyond recognition, so that the old woman (the Empress Dowager) wouldn't be able to recognize that the man was her brother.

But he could only mutter these words in his heart. If he spoke out loud, he was afraid that his entire clan would be killed.

Guan found Jiang Yan and her daughter at the foot of the cliff while driving a donkey cart.

"Sister."

"Sister Guan?"

"Sister, are you two okay?"

"It's okay, what's wrong?"

"That..." Guan thought that Sister Jiang didn't know about the men in black, so she was wondering whether she should tell Sister Jiang what happened last night.

If she told him, she was afraid that she would scare Jiang Meimei. If she didn't tell him, she was afraid that the men in black would come again.

Just when she was thinking about what to say, Sansheng spoke first.

"Aunt Jiang, there were bad guys here last night."

"What bad guy?"

"We didn't see any either. But they were all wiped out by the Ye family. Not a single one was left." Sansheng said, pointing in the direction of the smoke and continued, "Look, they were all burned to ashes by the Ye family."

"Oh."

"My father and mother both said that they were assassins raised by the big families, and they would kill without blinking an eye."

"So what if they kill without blinking an eye? They are all taken care of by the Ye family."

Guan got angry when she mentioned this. "Those rich and powerful people don't live a good life, but they have to harm others. Sister, don't you think they have nothing better to do?"

"It's possible." Yichen had been upset for a long time. Finally, Aunt Guan, the happy person, came. She immediately agreed happily and deliberately emphasized her accent.

Guan's uneasy heart gradually calmed down amidst the laughter.

Now, he was telling Jiang Yan some gossip again. "Sister, the pigeon you shot down yesterday saved us."

Jiang Yan: …

"He was a spy hidden in the Great Zhou territory, delivering messages to the northern barbarians."

"what?"

"That damn spy sent the pigeon to deliver the map of our area."

"A map?"

"It's the city defense map."

"..." Jiang Yan also wanted to curse. If there was no collusion with an insider, she would be considered thinking on her heels.

"Sister, it's a good thing you shot down the pigeon. I heard from my boss that the captain has recommended you to the captain."

"Sister Guan, let's not do that."

"Why don't you want to do it? Sister, you have done a great service, you can't give it up."

"Sister Guan, we can't let the spies know that I was the one who shot down the pigeon. I'm afraid they will take revenge on me, mother and daughter." Jiang Yan didn't want to live in fear in the future, so she had to resort to this last resort and give in.

After listening to Sister Jiang's analysis of the seriousness of the matter, Guan also felt that what Sister Jiang said made sense, so she agreed to help Jiang Yan find the captain and push the matter aside.

Jiang Yan asked Guan to go and come back quickly, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with if the captain agreed.

After seeing off Guan’s mother and son, the mother and daughter had lunch outside.

When the sun was about to set, the mother and daughter returned and felt the tense atmosphere of the entire Thirteen Banners.

Dasheng took the lead and organized all the young men over the age of ten in the thirteen banners to stand guard and patrol at the intersection.

Yichen saw this and wanted to join in, but when she expressed her idea, Jiang Yan rejected her.

When Jiang Yan measured her height, Yi Chen sat down under the ginkgo tree in front of her house in frustration and remained silent.

After a long while, she frowned and stared at her hands, muttering softly, "When will I grow up? If only I could grow up, she would join Brother Dasheng's team and fight the northern barbarians with them."
