After noon on the second day, Yan Qing received Yan Qin and others at the city gate.

The post house could only accommodate a limited number of people, so Yan Qing placed the Yan Qin family and his entourage in an inn a street away from the post house.

After discussing with Meng Shulan, Yan Qin and Meng Shulan rested in Jicheng for three days before setting off again.

The Yan Qin family went straight into Western Xinjiang, passed through Talir, and headed from the inner territory of Erjun to the northwest joint defense camp to the north.

Meng Shulan, on the other hand, led three or two people to travel lightly, taking the waterway from Jicheng to Fenlin. After the materials from Western Xinjiang were transported to Fenlin, they directly escorted the materials south to join Yan Qing.

Yan Qing, Chijiaying and his party stayed at the post house to assist Yuan Muren in raising food for disaster relief.

Half a month later, Yan Qing led the soldiers of the Chijia Battalion to escort the supplies by water and went straight to Yuhuai.

In November, the winter wind was brisk, and dozens of official ships were lined up in formation, with their flags flapping in the river wind.

Farewell to Yuan Muren, Yuan Luzhi and others, the official ship weighed anchor and left the shore, and sailed down the river. In the blink of an eye, only a few small dots were left on the river surface.

"Now that Jin Ming is gone, I don't know when we will see him again."

Fu Yunhuai looked at the departing official ship and muttered sadly.

Qi Shu pulled out his hair and laughed at him half-jokingly: "Young kid, why are you so sad? It's not like Jin Ming will never come back. When the disaster relief is over, whether he wants to stay in the Yan family army or not, he will

I need to come back first and explain to my family. I estimate that he will be back within half a year at most."

Fu Yunhuai, who was comforted by Qi Shu, did not feel relieved. On the contrary, his face turned three points more bitter, and he muttered, as if talking to Qi Shu, or to himself: "But I have to leave."

Already..."

Qi Shu was surprised: "You want to leave?"

Liu Xiyuan, who was talking to Yuan Luzhi, heard Qi Shu's words and turned around subconsciously, wanting to explain something, but realized that Qi Shu's words were not meant for him.

"Where are you going?"

Qi Shu asked Fu Yunhuai.

Liu Xiyuan and Yuan Luzhi were also shocked.

"Yun Huai is leaving?"

Liu Xiyuan asked, "When was it decided?"

Fu Yunhuai's eyes were full of sadness, and he said apologetically to his friends: "It was decided early this morning."

As he said that, he paused again, scratched his head in confusion, and then hesitantly said, "Actually, I had this plan for a long time, but today my family just nodded."

"I want to go out and have a look."

Fu Yunhuai smiled, but his brows were filled with melancholy, "I am very lucky to be born in a wealthy family, with relatives and friends who love me, and I have lived these years without worries about food and clothing. I thought the world would be so peaceful, and the people would live and work in peace and contentment.

The whole family is happy and healthy. But these days, I see more and more refugees on the street, with no food to eat and no clothes to wear..."

"Actually, I should have known a long time ago that there are many sufferings in life in this world."

Fu Yunhuai pursed his lips and said seriously to his four friends, "I may not be able to do anything for them, but I want to do something within my ability."

"I want to see the world in its truest form."

Fu Yunhuai spoke seriously and persistently, which surprised the other four people.

Fu Yunhuai is a soft-tempered person and rarely sticks to his decisions.

But this time, the look in his eyes told everyone that he would not give in on this matter.

"Are you crazy? You have never traveled far. Now in this time of war and disaster, do you want to go on a trip? What if something happens on the road?"

Qi Shu was the first to panic, "You silly boy could get defrauded out of money in Jicheng, how could you still be bullied to the point of crying for your mother when you go out? Besides, you are the only child of your uncle and aunt, how could they let you go?"

Going out to suffer hardship? If something happens to you, how will you let them live in the future? "

Hearing Qi Shu talk about his parents, Fu Yunhuai showed a trace of struggle on his face, but he still insisted on his decision: "My parents have agreed for me to travel."

As he said that, as if he wanted to lighten the atmosphere, Fu Yunhuai said half-jokingly, "Don't you always laugh at me for not being able to live up to the expectations of the world? This time I went out to expand my knowledge and get closer to you mortals.

.”

"And who would curse others for bad luck before they go out?"

Fu Yunhuai pouted and complained that Qi Shu was not listening to what he said, and then reassured his friend, "Besides, I am not going alone. Uncle Yin will be with me, as well as Si Xi. Uncle Yin and Si Xi used to follow me.

Those who run the trade route with me are all good hands in terms of knowledge and skills! As long as they are here, nothing will happen."

"Although I'm not very good at boxing or kicking, I can run fast!"

"If something really happens, you can't beat me and you can't run away?"

Fu Yunhuai said and shook his legs twice, as if to prove to his friends that what he said was not false.

"But……"

Qi Shu was still worried, but he opened his mouth to persuade, but didn't know how to say it, so he simply turned his head and pulled Liu Xiyuan into the water, "Xi Yuan, you can speak, please persuade him quickly. It's been very chaotic recently, and it's going to be...

It’s the New Year’s Eve, how can anyone go out at this time?”

Liu Xiyuan looked at Fu Yunhuai intently for a while before speaking, but it was not what Qi Shu expected.

"When will you set off? Which way are you going?"

Liu Xiyuan asked Fu Yunhuai, "If we go east, we may be able to take the same route. It is your first time to go out, I suggest you go to a stable place first."

Qi Shu's eyes widened: "I asked you to persuade him, how can you still plan the itinerary for him..."

Qi Shu came to his senses halfway through his words and asked Liu Xiyuan in surprise, "You want to leave too?"

Liu Xiyuan nodded: "I have passed the Qiu Wei Township Examination for two years, but I have been putting off taking the Spring Examination. I want to try it next year, so I plan to settle down in Kangdu in advance and prepare well for the joint examination and the palace examination after the spring. If

If you can pass the test."

Qi Shu was surprised: "Xi Yuan, didn't you say before that you would not participate in Chunwei, but that you would only wait for Lu Zhi to become the city lord and become a chief registrar in Jicheng?"

After saying that, Qi Shu asked Yuan Luzhi for confirmation, "Lu Zhi, do you still remember this?"

Yuan Luzhi nodded, but said meaningfully to Qi Shu: "Everyone has his own ambitions. What's more, Xi Yuan didn't just want to be a small bookkeeper from the beginning."

Qi Shu was speechless.

In fact, he knew that at that time, when the young people were drinking and talking happily, they also talked about their great ambitions.

Liu Xiyuan was determined to get out of Jicheng and earn a place in the Jinluan Palace.

But two years ago, for some unknown reason, Liu Xiyuan, who had passed the provincial examination, suddenly told them that he would not go to Chunwei.
