Han Qingyun originally planned to pack up everything he could take away from home today. The grain buyer was still at their house, so now all these things had to be left to his mother and Yanyan.

Today was May 6th. May 15th was the day King Lin's army entered Wuping County. According to the original novel, there was a heavy rain on May 16th. There was only one cave along the way where they could take shelter. Han Qingyun was also calculating the time it would take to reach the cave.

Han Qingyun had no way to inform County Magistrate Qian because the news from Yan Shi'an had not yet arrived, and he couldn't help feeling anxious.

But there was no point in being anxious now. He really couldn't ignore Han Dongchen's affairs.

Han Qingyun could feel the dissatisfaction of Han Dongchen and his brothers with their family. Han Qingshan's family had been treated harshly by the original Chen family for many years, so it was normal for them to be dissatisfied with their family.

He also tried to ease the relationship between the two families, but since his first negotiation with the eldest family, he didn't want to have too much to do with them.

He could feel that once the eldest branch of the Han family gained power, his family might become the target of revenge by those brothers.

He was no saint, and he knew it would be wise to sever their ties with the Dafang family as soon as possible.

But from memory, before the original body was fifteen years old, Han Dongchen and his brothers respected the original body as their second uncle, and Han Qingshan and his wife also always loved the original body very much.

Han Qingyun didn't have the energy to find out what happened ten years ago.

So far, Han Dongchen and the others have only been a little sarcastic to him and have not really done anything to hurt his family.

Han Qingshan's family was in such a situation now, and he couldn't bear to ignore it completely.

The more Han Qingyun thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He felt that he was influenced by the original owner's indecisive character. He was Han Nuo, not some random Han Qingyun, and he had nothing to do with the people here.

But he couldn't control himself. Whenever he thought about the massacre of 300,000 people in Wuping County in the near future, he couldn't help but want to do more.

But his efforts to help more people escape seriously slowed down his own family's escape.

The irritable Han Qingyun became even more irritable when he saw Zhao Xingye and Zhao Xingwu covered in blood.

"What's wrong with you two? You're already at the infirmary, why haven't you gone to get bandaged? There's already someone lying in the room, are you two going to go in too?"

Zhao Xingye and Zhao Xingwu were shocked. The Han Qingyun they had met before was always polite but cold and distant. They had never seen him so stern.

Seeing him getting angry, Zhao Xingye quickly waved his hands: "Most of our blood is Dongchen's, we're fine."

Han Qingyun rolled his eyes in anger. Did he think he was blind?

Zhao Xingye's chest and right leg were scratched, revealing bloody claw marks. Zhao Xingwu's back was scratched by the tiger, leaving only a few strips of cloth. His injuries were no less serious than Zhao Xingye's.

Too lazy to waste time talking to the two men, Han Qingyun directly asked another doctor to examine their injuries.

By the time Zhao Xingye and the other man finished applying the medicine and bandaging the wound, it was already past six o'clock in the evening.

Han Qingyun went out to buy some food. As soon as he returned to the clinic, he saw Yan Shian standing at the door of the clinic, looking anxious.

Han Qingyun handed the food to the waiter in the clinic and asked him to help bring the food to Han Qingshan and the others.

He pulled Yan Shian to a secluded corner and asked anxiously, "Is there any news?"

Yan Shian's face looked extremely ugly.

"I went to your house this afternoon to look for you. They said you were at Tongji Medical Clinic, so I hurried over. The person we sent over earlier spent five hundred taels and got the news from the steward of the Anling Prefecture's Tongzhi."

"The prefects, deputy prefects, and county magistrates of Pingyao and Anling prefectures had long been recruited by the Jiyang people. Jiyang sent a hundred thousand troops, disguised as ordinary civilians, to Wuping County, but the news was kept secret by the officials of these two prefectures."

Yan Shian spoke quickly and hastily, and Han Qingyun interrupted and asked, "Where are these people now?"

"Five years ago, Prince Lin's maternal family, the Qi family, purchased a farm of over 3,000 acres in Sanxiang County, Anling Prefecture. This farm is less than two days' journey from Wuping County. Over 50,000 men are already stationed there. Once the remaining troops arrive, I'm afraid that will be the day Wuping County is utterly destroyed."

"My father said he doesn't want any of the property here anymore. When I came out, he had already asked people to pack up. Our family must leave by the morning of the day after tomorrow at the latest. Qingyun, you come with us. You don't need to bring anything. Go home and pick up my aunt and the others and bring them to my house. Then we'll leave together."

Han Qingyun certainly wanted to go with Yan Shi'an. The Yan family had many guards, so his safety would be guaranteed. However, he couldn't let go of Fengye Village, and his father-in-law's family wasn't ready yet.

"Where are you going?"

"Luocheng, my second uncle has lived in Luocheng for many years, we're going to live with him. And my father said that Luocheng is the safest place, whether now or in the future."

"Okay, Brother Shi'an, you guys go first. I'll leave a few days later. When I get to Luocheng, I'll definitely come look for you."

Yan Shian was horrified: "Aren't you going with us? Staying here for one more day will increase the danger. Qingyun, we have to leave as soon as possible."

"I can't do anything about Wuping County, but Fengye Village is where I was born and raised. The villagers still don't know anything. I can't just sit there and do nothing. There's also my father-in-law's family..."

When Yan Shi'an saw the determination in Han Qingyun's eyes, his eyes became slightly hot and he clasped his fists and bowed to Han Qingyun.

"I'm waiting for you in Luocheng. I don't know where I'll settle down in Luocheng yet. When you get there, go to Yan's Silk Shop on Mingguang Street in the east of the city and look for Mr. Yan Yu."

"it is good!"

After Yan Shi'an left, Han Qingyun borrowed paper and pen from the clinic and wrote two letters.

He gave one of the letters to a clever-looking beggar on the street, gave him a penny of silver, and told him to slip it into the gate of Magistrate Qian's house tonight. Don't let anyone see it. After the letter was sent, he would give him another penny of silver.

The little beggar happily agreed.

Han Qingyun briefly wrote down the news Yan Shi'an had brought him, but he didn't mention the source. He didn't dare to make a big deal out of it, so he could only use this method to remind County Magistrate Qian.

Han Qingyun had met County Magistrate Qian several times and had a very good impression of him. Wuping County was the richest and most stable of the surrounding counties, and County Magistrate Qian made an indelible contribution to this.

The original book mentioned that when King Lin's army was about to enter Wuping County, Wuping County Lieutenant Qiao Bing, who received the news, fled with his entire family.

However, County Magistrate Qian mobilized the county residents to form a self-defense force, and together with the yamen runners, he led the makeshift self-defense force in a desperate resistance.

His entire family was killed by the enemy, including his nine-year-old son. When his family members died, County Magistrate Qian was heartbroken, but he never surrendered until his death.

Wuping County is definitely not something that can be defended. Han Qingyun only hopes that County Magistrate Qian can make more preparations and hold out longer against the enemy so that more people can escape.

In the inner courtyard of the clinic, Doctor Chen finally walked out of the room. Han Qingshan rushed forward and looked at Doctor Chen with anticipation.

"Whether I can make it through this depends on whether I can wake up tomorrow. Unfortunately, I don't have any ginseng here. Even in the entire county, I may not be able to find ginseng of good age."

"With ginseng, can my cousin wake up?" Han Xingwu quickly took out a ginseng of excellent quality from his arms.

They had already successfully collected ginseng today. Zhao Chun and his son asked them to leave quickly, but Dong Hanchen wanted to hunt the tiger.

Han Xingwu felt bitter. If he had known that Han Dongchen would be injured, they would never have agreed to fight the tiger no matter what.

Doctor Chen's eyes lit up. "His left forearm is only connected by a layer of skin. It can't be saved. But with this ginseng, I guarantee he'll be fine in the future."

After saying that, he grabbed some ginseng and took his apprentice to make medicine.

Han Qingshan didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. A farmer missing half of his arm meant that he was half disabled, but it was the greatest blessing that his son was able to survive.
