A massive famine! The whole family travels through time together, and with their spatial abilities,

Chapter 165 Cangzhou Prefecture refuses entry into the city; Madam Zhou's identity comes into p

Seeing that his two daughters were unmoved and even retreated in fear, Su Yunlin then remembered their situation in the Su family.

He walked up to the carriage and said something to his parents.

Wang Cuilan quickly waved to her two granddaughters affectionately, "Manye, Mandi, come on in the car. Grandma will allow you to sit in the car for a while."

Su Manye and Su Mandi had never seen their grandmother with such a kind and gentle face before, and they always felt that there must be some terrifying plan hidden behind that face.

The two of them were immediately terrified and trembled with fear.

Seeing her two granddaughters trembling with fear, Wang Cuilan cursed the original owner of this body a hundred times in her heart.

Su Yunlin forcibly put his two daughters into the carriage, where they sat shakily and extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, I sat there for a long time.

Grandma didn't yell at or beat them, and the two gradually relaxed.

Lin Xiuxiu seemed not to recognize the man beside her, and had been secretly observing Su Dalin the whole way.

In recent years, Su Dalin has become more and more taciturn.

But today, Su Dalin seems to have just come back to life.

The look of depression on his face had clearly vanished without a trace, and the smile on his lips carried a hint of roguishness, making him appear much more lively and cheerful.

She simply couldn't fathom what this man had dreamt about while he was unconscious, that it caused such a dramatic change in his mind!

She tried several times to communicate with her husband, but he always ignored her.

She could only shut her mouth in frustration.

Su Yunlin had been curiously observing his surroundings the whole way, still feeling the novelty of his time travel.

I have absolutely no desire to acknowledge this familiar yet unfamiliar woman beside me.

The team traveled for a full five days, covering more than 200 kilometers.

The journey was relatively smooth, and we didn't encounter any dangers.

Most of the wounded in the team have recovered.

Only a few with serious injuries need to rest for a period of time.

The stars and moon didn't stop hanging on the branches until the fifth day.

Before us lies the city of Cangzhou.

Perhaps because both teams had a relatively smooth journey, the distance they traveled each day was not short.

On the way to Cangzhou Prefecture, they did not encounter a large number of famine refugees.

But they encountered their biggest challenge yet.

Cangzhou Prefecture refuses to allow any citizen to enter the city!

Cangzhou Prefecture was the last important pass of the capital and an important military stronghold.

The Cangzhou army totaled 150,000 men.

News of the breach of Hanshan Pass by the barbarians had already reached the ears of those in power in the capital.

The emperor then dispatched another 50,000 elite troops to support Cangzhou Prefecture.

They also had to intercept famine refugees who wanted to enter Beijing.

The soldiers guarded the entire city gate tightly, ensuring that no refugee would be allowed to enter the city.

The surrounding mountains were also guarded by elite troops. In order to prevent foreign spies from bypassing Cangzhou Prefecture and infiltrating the capital, even ordinary people were not allowed to pass through.

All the disaster victims only have two options.

Either return the way you came.

They could either follow the prefect's arrangements and settle down in a nearby county, town, or village.

There was absolutely no way anyone could set foot in the capital.

When the Su family team and the Gu family team received the news, everyone was stunned.

They never imagined things would turn out this way.

They thought they had successfully arrived in Cangzhou Prefecture and were only two hundred kilometers away from the capital.

In three to five days at most, they will be able to reach the capital and end their homeless journey of fleeing famine.

But I never expected it.

They had actually reached the end.

They could only settle down outside Cangzhou Prefecture.

The territory under the jurisdiction of Cangzhou Prefecture was very large.

However, the refugees from the north were only settled in the county towns and villages outside the north gate.

In other words.

Once the barbarians attack.

Those people who were settled in other counties and villages outside the north gate were likely to be slaughtered by the barbarians.

In short, we must come up with a better solution as soon as possible to ensure everyone's safety.

The group had been traveling for ten hours.

It's getting late.

Su Yunhai ordered the team to rest on the spot.

The next morning.

The main force retreated to find a place to set up camp and settle down temporarily.

The last time supplies were replenished was in Qinzhou Prefecture.

There was no opportunity to replenish supplies in the cities, large and small, along the way.

Recently, our supplies have almost run out.

In particular, despite being very frugal with food and water every day, more than 9,000 catties of grain and meat have already been used up.

Still unsure when they could settle down, Su Yunhai led a group of young men back to the city gate to queue up and buy supplies.

Although the Cangzhou government did not allow refugees to enter the city, it set up a large market outside the city gates.

People could buy various supplies at the market to prevent riots caused by a shortage of food and supplies.

To avoid being targeted, Su Yunhai divided the team into ten groups, with each group purchasing supplies separately.

In the team.

Shen Shuli found Madam Zhou and Gu Changfeng.

This is a critical time, and we can only try to take advantage of Madam Zhou's relationship with the Gu family.

"Uncle Gu, Aunt Zhou, your families all have people in the capital. Is there any way for us to get through Cangzhou Prefecture?" Shen Shuli asked the two of them.

Gu Changfeng looked worried and said with a wry smile, "My uncle is in the capital. He was the former prime minister. As long as he speaks up, someone should give him face and let us into the city."

"The problem is that Cangzhou Prefecture does not allow people to send letters, so we have no way to send messages to the capital. My uncle may not even know about our situation."

Madam Zhou looked at Gu Changfeng with surprise in her eyes.

Throughout the journey, Madam Zhou and Qiao Xiaodie, Gu Changfeng's wife, got along very well.

But this was the first time she had realized that the Gu family was so prestigious.

The Gu family even produced a prime minister.

After thinking about it carefully, she suddenly understood.

Family is paramount.

The Gu family, which produced a prime minister...

So that's why!

This Gu family is actually the same Gu family that produced three prime ministers!

She is short-sighted!

Madam Zhou originally thought her husband's official position was already very high, but she didn't expect the Gu family to be even higher.

Fortunately, I didn't fall out with the Gu family along the way.

Along the way, she could tell that although the Gu family was of high social standing, they were willing to follow the orders of this young girl from the Su family.

This shows how much the Gu family values ​​the Su family!

She tried hard to recall her memories, wanting to do something for the team.

“Miss Su, I just remembered that my husband has a relationship with the prefect of Cangzhou. They were classmates and friends, and they often exchanged letters in private. I think their relationship is quite close.”

Shen Shuli and Gu Changfeng's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this.

As the saying goes, a local official is more powerful than a distant one.

If we could get in touch with the prefect of Cangzhou directly, it would probably be more effective than any personal connections!

"But how can we get the message to the prefect?" Madam Zhou asked, somewhat worried.

These soldiers guarding the city were completely unyielding; they only took money and did nothing.

They might not be able to get the letter to the prefect.

Shen Shuli's eyes flickered slightly.

She remembered the plot of the book.

If Shen Shuli hadn't known the role that Madam Zhou's identity would play, she wouldn't have brought them along.

When the female lead, Lin Wanwan, entered the capital, she did so through connections with Madam Zhou.

However, it was Lin Wanwan who used her protagonist aura to bribe a city guard to help deliver Madam Zhou's letter to the prefect of Cangzhou.

Shen Shuli refused to believe that if it weren't for Lin Wanwan, she wouldn't have found a way to deliver the letter to the prefect.
