"Yes, she is also with your mother in the mountains now." Meng Shaode sighed at this, with sadness covering his face.

After Ah Jiu asked several times, Meng Shaode waved his hands and sighed:

"Your eldest brother doesn't know us anymore, he only knows your sister-in-law and your mother-in-law."

"..." Ah Jiu's heart sank: "Why is this?"

"I don't know." Meng Shaode took a sip of tea to suppress his anxiety before continuing calmly:

"Your sister-in-law said that after they left Nanming City before the fire, they went all the way to Lingnan. However, the weather was too cold, and there were so many people fleeing to Lingnan. The King of Chujiang sent troops to Lingnan to transport military pay and send those who went to Lingnan.

All the refugees were stopped.”

After speaking, Meng Shaode sighed.

This is not beyond Ah Jiu's expectation. The current tug-of-war between several princes is going to last until the Year of the Ox and the Moon of the Horse.

Natural resources will eventually be exhausted, and we will definitely focus on the big piece of meat in Lingnan.

"Dad, don't worry. Fortunately, we didn't go to Lingnan with the large army. My sister-in-law and her family also came back in time. This is a good thing."

Ah Jiu comforted:

"When Tuoba Yan finishes reorganizing his troops, let him send people to pick up the people in the mountains and go to Menghua City."

Meng Shaode suddenly stood up: "I'll go find him right now."

Ah Jiu hurriedly warned: "Dad, don't be so fierce when you speak. Now he is also the commander-in-chief of an army. You always scold him like a grandson. How can he still have prestige in the army?"

Meng Shaode's footsteps stopped abruptly, and the girl helped the boy speak before she even passed the door:

"I know, dad is sensible."

Ah Jiu watched his father leave, then turned to look at the beetle hanging on the wall.

It seems that Jiman has kept her promise, so she should let the horned immortal go.

Ah Jiu didn't dare to touch it, so he used a knife to cut a slit in the net bag, and the beetles inside rushed out instantly.

With a deafening buzzing sound, the beetle flew into the sky and disappeared.

The next day, soldiers led by Ma Peng and Meng Shaode rushed to the mountains to pick up the people.

Tuoba Yan prepared a carriage to send Meng Jiuer back to Menghua City.

As soon as he entered the backyard, Hua Jun was very excited: "I heard that General Tuoba captured Liushanguan. Miss Ninth, please tell me what the scene was like at that time."

As soon as Ah Jiu sat down, Hua Jun danced around her.

"I was not in the army at the time." Ah Jiu told the truth. Hua Jun was a little disappointed and quickly raised his eyes, which were as bright as light bulbs:

"Where's Commander Xue? Why didn't he come back with you?"

Ah Jiu hammered his shoulders. The carriage was bumpy for several days, and he fell asleep leaning on the wooden railing.

Hua Jun wanted to hear the reason, so he walked around behind Ah Jiu and pinched her shoulders.

"You have already said that he is a military advisor, so naturally he will stay in the military camp to assist Tuoba Yan. It is useless to follow a little woman like me."

Ah Jiu said as he opened a booklet and read it.

This is what Ajiu moved from the original government office. They are all materials left by Master Gao of Gaofu when he was in power.

There is land management policy, population migration strategy, household registration and other information, but those case records are of little use to Ah Jiu now.

Hua Jun was a little disappointed: "Miss Ninth said the same thing. You said it would be great if I were a man and could fight with the army."

"But the fact is that you are not a man." Ah Jiu's words shocked Hua Jun.

"Look at you like that, okay, okay, don't make it difficult for yourself. If you stay at home and help me manage the farmland, you are also helping to reserve military pay for the soldiers at the front. It is also a great contribution."

These words can still comfort Hua Jun.

Moreover, Tuoba Yan also selected 5,000 people from the 50,000-strong army to help Ah Jiu reorganize Menghua City.

The people selected were all militiamen, and they had all cultivated land and built houses.

Most of the people left behind in the mountains are old, weak, sick and disabled, and have little power to promote farming.

Three days later, in the early morning, there was a bang.

Ah Jiu woke up from her dream and saw that the window was being blown by the strong wind. The cold wind howled in, making Meng Jiuer unable to open his eyes.

"Miss Ninth, be careful of catching a cold." Hua Jun rushed in while getting dressed, and quickly fixed the window.

As if Ah Jiu saw the treasure, she ran to the window with bare feet and reopened the window.

In the cold wind blowing in the face, there were tiny granular things hitting the face:

"Hua Jun, it seems like it's snowing."

"That's impossible." Hua Jun stretched his head and looked out the window. Sure enough, light snow like sand was hitting his face.

The two of them immediately looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.
