After these spies from the White Bear Country were caught, the refugees calmed down, and the fear of offending dignitaries began to spread.

"Please spare my life, my nobles!"

"We were all instigated by the wicked. We will never dare to do it again."

"Have mercy! Just let us go."

Some people knelt while speaking.

With the first person taking the lead, soon everyone knelt down.

Su Linhua sighed as she watched, "Just now you were desperate to grab things, but now you're so spineless? This is really..."

"Second Miss, please say less. It's okay, it's okay." Nanny Han was completely relieved.

Chunyu carried Han over and carefully helped apply the medicine. The other maids who had followed Su Linhua to learn some innovative kitchen skills quickly got up and got out of the car when they saw that the situation had stabilized.

"Miss, we'll go down first."

"Well, go ahead." Su Linhua waved her hand, but her eyes were still looking out the window.

At this time, Ah Shun came back with the man. He threw him to his men and said, "Tie him up carefully! Don't let him escape or commit suicide."

"Yes!"

But those people were still kneeling, forming a large crowd that surrounded the convoy. It seemed that they were going to try soft tactics after their hard tactics failed. They begged for mercy, but their eyes were fixed on the grain carts and horse carriages, and they refused to retreat.

Su Linhua felt a little soft-hearted and thought that these people were also pitiful. All wars ultimately caused suffering to the people, who wanted to survive even if they were hungry.

"You all get out of the way."

"Please give us a bite to eat. We don't want more. Just one bite will do."

"Yeah, I haven't eaten for several days. I really can't hold on any longer."

The old man just now choked up and said, "I don't know what's going on in Mincheng. The city gates have been closed for three days and three nights. They won't let us in. We have no choice but to continue south."

"We've been relying on tree bark and wild vegetables along the way. If we old folks die, we die, but the children can't."

"Please beg the Ningyuan Palace to be kind and help us."

The sounds came one after another, and the sound of sobbing reached her ears. Su Linhua couldn't help but feel sad.

I have seen this kind of scene on TV before, but I never thought that one day I would face it in person. The feeling was so heartbreaking.

This damn White Bear Country! Why did they have to come to war when things were going well? And the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, too, why didn't they quickly send troops and food to support the border instead of engaging in internal strife?

Ah Shun still held his sword, and the other guards were also on high alert. The situation was pressing, and they didn't know what to do.

Su Linhua wanted to give some food, but how much to give was a problem. Besides, the food was originally meant to be sent to the border. What would happen if they saved the border?

Her fingers were tangled together, almost scratching the skin on the back of her hand. She had no choice but to ask for help from the space.

"Dad, what should we do in this situation?"

"I missed you on the way back from Qingshan. The latest news is that something has happened in Mincheng and the City Lord's Mansion has been taken over. Your route is relatively safe, but fighting has already broken out in other directions."

"Ah?" She was completely panicked!

"Where's my sister?! Where is she?!"

"She will probably reach you one day. I think if you want to continue going down, relying solely on the palace soldiers and guards is definitely not enough."

"what is it now?"

"Why not set up camp in a secluded place first, feed these people, and then convince them to come with us. At this critical juncture, people are a great help."

Su Linhua seemed to understand, but she knew how to calculate. "But there are so many people, so the cost is also high."

Su Weimin pointed around and said, "Look! There's plenty of food in this space. Let's get through this first!"

"Okay, then I'll go discuss it with Ah Shun."

"Ah."

These past two days, the space has been like a cheat, with a bountiful harvest of food, not just potatoes and sweet potatoes, but also wheat and sorghum. The fish that were consumed last time have also been replenished, and the pond is full again.

What Su Weimin meant was also what Su Chengnan meant. Things in space only truly work when they are spent and consumed.

……

"Miss, don't worry. We have four more horses now, and we can run much faster."

"Yeah, nothing serious will happen with Ah Shun around."

"Ah."

Su Chengnan has the space as a communication magic weapon, and Su Weimin, the great military advisor, so she is not very worried about them.

She was worried that once the closed Mincheng was opened, a war would really break out.

Only she could see the countdown hanging high above the space, so she didn't tell Su Linhua because she was worried that she would be scared.

The "three hundred days" countdown had two hundred and seventy days left yesterday, but since Qingshan came back, it inexplicably jumped to two hundred and fifty days.

What a hell.

Did it grow ears and a brain? And could it even make predictions based on information?!

The incident in Mincheng was like triggering some serious bug, which changed the course of many things.

That feeling of insecurity swept over her and she had to hurry.

"Qingshan, can you please take a look at the fork in the road ahead?"

"Go left."

"it is good."

There was a mark at the intersection just now made by Ashun and others. Seeing this, Su Chengnan knew that they were not far away, so he slowed down a little.

Speaking of which, the Liuzi brothers are really talented.

Because there were four more horses of the men in black, while Jiayi was interrogating, Liuzi asked Gangzi to ride a horse and take him around the area, and they actually found a dilapidated temple.

The two men kowtowed consciously and hid some silver in the gap under the feet of the Bodhisattva, indicating that they also hoped to use this door panel with a missing corner to help the injured.

After running back and forth twice, they transported the broken door back, and then the other brothers looked for some large pieces of wood nearby.

They also dismantled the wheelchairs of Chen Gang and his wife, four wheels, two wooden boards and a bunch of small components. After a few people hammered and nailed together, two not-so-sightly but very sturdy flatbed carts were soon made.

With a little squeezing, those with mobility issues can be accommodated. Two horses pulling a cart is no problem.

The rest of the people either ran or rode two horses together. Although the team was still a little clumsy, it was much faster.

As Liu Laosan ran, he shouted, "If only I could do Qinggong, we wouldn't have to run, we could just fly."

The man next to him laughed at him: "Come on, you're already in your twenties! You still want to be a hero? You'd better stay at home and farm."

"Farming is fine, but I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity!"

Although he sighed, his tone was not dejected. As long as you are not starving to death and are still breathing, there is always hope.

But Su Chengnan took these words to heart. She thought: Farming! When we get to Ningguta, she will make sure everyone who goes with her has a piece of land! We won't have to worry about having no food to eat anymore.
