Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

Dou Huai'an was left behind and remained responsible for guarding the Dou family army.

Zhang Liang remained in Jinzhou and never returned.

After arranging the remaining matters, Dou Qingran waved for everyone else to disperse.

He gave everyone only two days to organize their soldiers; after that, they would head south.

Yang Sanlang returned and found Zhao Yan, and told her what Dou Qingran meant.

Zhao Yan nodded indifferently after hearing this.

"Oh, I see."

Seeing her like this, Yang Sanlang hesitated to speak.

"Yan'er, do you think I'm... meddling too much?"

This kind of thing wasn't something he, an idle person, should have meddle in. He was just angry for Dou Xingyan at the time, which is why he said that.

Surprisingly, Dou Qingran also supported his decision.

However, he didn't know what Yan'er was thinking.

Zhao Yan gently placed the sleeping Xiao Fubao on the inside of the bed before turning to look at Yang Sanlang.

Her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and finally she couldn't help but smile.

She said, "You're overthinking it. Brother Dou wants to replace that dog emperor in the capital. He'll take Dingzhou and Suizhou sooner or later. If he doesn't do it now, he'll have to do it in the future. It makes no difference."

"Besides, I'm just hoping to bring down this dog emperor as soon as possible so that Brother Dou can take over. If Brother Dou is in power, at least the common people won't have to suffer."

A glint flashed in Yang Sanlang's eyes, and he opened his mouth and softly hummed in agreement.

“You’re right. Brother Dou would never levy exorbitant taxes on the common people. If he were to take the throne, he would definitely be a good emperor.”

Zhao Yan glanced at the man and said, "So, how could you think I would get angry? Am I the kind of person who's petty?"

Yang Sanlang was immediately embarrassed upon hearing this.

He awkwardly touched his nose and said, "No, you're not that kind of person."

Zhao Yan yawned, then said to Yang Sanlang, "It's late, go wash up and go to bed. We can talk about it tomorrow."

After saying that, she immediately lifted the covers and lay down inside.

"Okay, you go to sleep first, I'll be there soon."

Yang Sanlang blew out all the candles in the room, leaving only one burning so he could use it for lighting when changing Xiao Fubao's diapers at night.

Zhao Yan lay on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

After washing up, Yang Sanlang returned. He had originally wanted to whisper something to her, but seeing that she was already asleep, he immediately stopped talking, obediently lay down on the outside of the bed, and fell asleep as well.

the next day.

Zhao Yan was the first to wake up.

Seeing that Yang Sanlang was still asleep with his eyes closed, she lifted the blanket and prepared to step over the man.

But as soon as he lifted his right foot, Yang Sanlang suddenly opened his eyes.

His dark eyes were misty and he looked dazed.

Zhao Yan was only stunned for a moment at first, but then calmly stepped over Yang Sanlang.

"You watch over Xiao Fubao, I'm going to wash up first."

After giving her instructions, she put on her shoes and went out.

A moment later, she returned to her bedroom, dressed neatly.

Little Fu Bao has woken up and is whimpering in Yang Sanlang's arms.

Give him to me.

Zhao Yan stepped forward, took Xiao Fubao from Yang Sanlang's arms, and then began to make him milk powder.

Yang Sanlang glanced at the mother and daughter, then silently went out to wash up.

Not long after, he changed his clothes and returned to his bedroom.

Seeing that Zhao Yan was still feeding Xiao Fubao milk powder, he silently stayed by her side and did not leave.

Zhao Yan was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Yang Sanlang's eyes flickered slightly, but he still said, "Yan'er, do you really want to go south with us? Otherwise, you should stay here and take care of Xiao Fubao and the others."

To be honest, the road ahead was long, and he really didn't want Yan'er to suffer along with him. You see, marching and fighting are different from running away; both have time limits.

Zhao Yan thought he was going to say something, but it turned out to be this.

She glanced at Yang Sanlang and insisted, "No need, I will go south with you. Don't misunderstand, I'm just worried about Yunchen."

She didn't necessarily have to go with him, but since Yun Chen wanted to go, she, as his aunt, had to be there to watch over him.

Yang Sanlang will definitely be busy with important matters at that time and probably won't have time to take care of Yun Chen, so she has to go with him on this trip.

Yang Sanlang hesitated for a moment, then finally gave in.

"Alright, go if you want, I won't stop you. However, you should tell Master about the barbarians. Doesn't Gao Ye still need to take the antidote every month?"

Zhao Yan waved her hand and said, "You don't need to worry about that. I'll talk to Master about it."

The pills she gave Gao Ye weren't poisonous, so it wouldn't matter whether he took the antidote or not.

However, since the act had to be performed completely, the master would have to find someone to deliver the antidote to the person later.

That afternoon, Zhao Yan handed a few white candies to Su Yanzhi and explained to him, "Master, these are candies. The pill I gave Gao Ye wasn't actually poison; I just wanted to scare him."

"Have someone deliver one candy to him every month. As long as he cooperates, there won't be any problems."

Su Yanzhi smiled and took the white medicine bottle, examining it repeatedly in his hand.

"This bottle looks quite novel. Yan'er, are you sure this thing is edible?"

Zhao Yan smiled, immediately took back the medicine bottle, unscrewed the cap, poured out a white pill, and swallowed it.

"Of course you can eat them. These are just candies, meant to appease children."

Upon hearing that it was edible, Zhao Xiaomi immediately clamored to try it too.

"Greedy."

Zhao Yan laughed at her, then poured a candy from the white medicine bottle and stuffed it into Zhao Xiaomi's mouth.

Zhao Xiaomi smacked her lips and said with a grin, "It's so sweet!"

"It's naturally sweet."

Then, Yuan Tianbao and Zhao Yunjie joined in the fun.

Zhao Yan then stuffed several candies into everyone's mouths.

Seeing that there weren't many candies left, she secretly put some more into the white medicine bottle, enough for Gao Ye to eat for a year or two.

Seeing that Zhao Yan and the others were completely unharmed after eating, Su Yanzhi's eyes flickered slightly.

He took the white medicine bottle from Zhao Yan's hand, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

Zhao Yan was going south with her, so Xiao Fubao had to be left in Tian Xiu'e's care again.

This time, Zhao Yan left enough baby formula for Xiao Fubao to drink for six months and enough diapers for six months.

When Tian Xiu'e saw this thing for the first time, she was extremely surprised.

She picked up a diaper and examined it repeatedly, but in the end, she still couldn't figure out what it was.

"Yan'er, what is this?"

Zhao Yan placed Xiao Fubao on the bed, lifted the swaddling clothes, and removed the diaper from his bottom in front of Tian Xiu'e.

"Sister Tian, ​​this thing is called a diaper. It's actually used for the same purpose as a cloth diaper, to cover the baby's bottom. However, unlike cloth diapers, which get wet and dirty after a pee or poop, diapers are not breathable. When Xiao Fu Bao pees or poops, you can just throw this thing away and put on a new one."

After a sudden realization, Tian Xiu'e immediately understood something.
