Cold sweat broke out on Xiao Zhongli's back, and he looked around frequently for fear of being overheard.
Tang Zangyue: "Don't worry, we are still far away from the Xiongnu forces, and they can't do anything. The safer the place with more people, do you think these people are interested in our discussion?"
Xiao Zhongli breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Tang Zangyue's calm expression and said, "Grandma already has an idea?"
"nature."
"Then when are we ready to run?"
"Run?" Tang Zangyue repeated the last word in his mouth and smiled, "Why should we run?"
"Since the road is a road to death, why not run?"
"How to run?"
"Buy a horse and hurry up."
"Run to where?"
"This..." Xiao Zhongli was stumped.
Within the territory of the Chu State, the Xiao family was the emperor of the world, and the Xiao family was content to abide by the laws of the Chu State. Outside the Chu State, there were enemies that the Xiao family had established for many years, and they had already been eyeing them.
The world is so big that there is no place for the Xiao family?!
Tang Zangyue: "We are still in today's world, and we have been framed by him once. Just wait until we make a real mistake. If we really run away, what awaits us is not only the killer, but also the court's pursuit order. The situation will be worse than now
worse."
"Then, what should we do?" Xiao Zhongli seemed to have come to his senses and bowed to Zang Yue of the Tang Dynasty. He felt admiration and said, "Please give me some advice, grandma."
"arrive."
Xiao Zhongli looked up and saw a pawn shop.
Tang Zangyue took the lead to step forward, followed closely by Xiao Zhongli.
He originally thought that his grandmother was here to pawn the hidden jewelry, but he didn't know...
Tang Zangyue took out an inconspicuous jade pendant and said to the clerk who was fiddling with the abacus: "Please let me know how much silver this jade pendant can be pawned."
The man glanced at it carefully and said, "More than a few coins."
"Please take a closer look."
The little brother was impatient, but he saw that the carvings on the two sides of the jade pendant were different. This, this is...
His expression suddenly changed, he stood up suddenly and said, "Please wait a moment."
The grandfather and grandson didn't wait long before the shopkeeper greeted him personally, "Old lady, please come inside."
Tang Zangyue led Xiao Zhong away from the inner room.
The jade pendant belongs to the Xiao family. In addition to the Red Flame Army, General Xiao saw the situation when he was still alive. He probably understood the nature of the faint king and left a ray of hope for the original owner early on.
Only the original owner knows this line.
In the original work, because the house was raided so suddenly, not to mention this jade pendant, or even scraps of silver, there was no way to contact the person with anything.
Now...
Tang Zangyue calmly moved the tea leaves, sipped the Longjing tea, and waited for the other party to speak first.
"Old madam, you rest first, I will make arrangements."
Yixiantian was an elite team that was cultivated by the old general when he was still alive. They were formed by children who escaped from the natural disasters in Chu State and had no memory of the famine. They had erased the past, had no background, and no future. They only listened to
Order to the owner of the jade pendant.
Once you recognize your master, you will activate the first line of heaven, and you will no longer be restricted by the jade pendant. It is much better than working hard to cultivate the Red Flame Army, only obeying the order of the token, and finally making a wedding dress for the faint king.
Yixiantian is more like a dead soldier than an elite team.
It is the only way to protect the Xiao family's journey of exile.
Not long after, a young man with an ordinary appearance but strange bones, who looked like Lian Jiazi, appeared in front of Tang Zangyue.
He knelt down on one knee respectfully toward Tang Zang Yue and said, "Old Madam."
"name."
"fifteen."
"Specialty."
"Qinggong."
"Not bad." Tang Zangyue took another sip and said, "Notify us and follow the Xiao family closely to ensure our safety along the way."
"Yes, old lady."
There are only three of them in this room.
The shopkeeper is the secret line for the development of the Xiao family. In addition, pawnshops in small towns and counties near the capital have such secret lines, just to get in touch with Yixiantian.
Once the connection is successful, these hidden lines will cut off the connection with the General's Mansion and become a truly independent store that will have nothing to do with Yixiantian or the General's Mansion in the future.
Tang Zangyue took out a banknote and said, "I will whistle when ordered. Just show up. The others will wait until the border and see you later depending on the situation."
"Yes, old lady." The young man took it and responded.
"Go ahead."
After the young man jumped out of the window and disappeared through the dense intertwined leaves, Tang Zangyue averted his eyes and said, "Ask me if you have anything."
"Grandma, he is..."
"A dead soldier who was trained by your grandfather when he was still alive and left a way out for us. Before contacting us, we only relied on the jade pendant to identify people. After contacting us, we only recognized people and not the jade pendant.
This dead warrior is called Yixiantian."
"The shopkeeper just now..."
"What shopkeeper? We are just here to pawn jade pendants, we don't know anyone else."
Xiao Zhongli suddenly understood and nodded immediately, "Yes, grandma."
After getting the broken silver pawned, she and Xiao Zhongli walked towards a sparsely populated area, saying: "Today, people will not be followed on the road to exile, but there will be people waiting in the places of devolution. Brother Li, be prepared early."
.”
Xiao Zhongli didn't know what to prepare, but he still responded: "Yes, grandma."
"Okay, you go meet Yuechun, and I'll go shopping again."
"Yes, grandma."
Shopping, of course, means continuing to purchase.
On the surface, those purchases were for the officers and soldiers escorting them to see, but in fact, she still needed to purchase some other things.
Especially after passing by the wonton stall just now, she was even more convinced of her thoughts.
Oh, I forgot to say that.
I went to the wonton stall not because I wanted to inspire my second grandson, but because I was simply hungry.
After a long day's journey, I can't eat well or sleep well. I'm looking at the food cooked by the vendors, waiting for you to come and have a few bites. Can you not feel hungry?
It's just that as the head mother of the house, she couldn't let her second grandson see this, so she let her second grandson be the first to express his feelings, and she just followed his words.
What is this called?
It's called pretending to be deep.
Preserving her dignity as a housewife for the first time.
Since we are going to the market, there will be no shortage of things in the market.
Tang Zangyue bought a backpack, covered the sides and top of the backpack tightly with linen, and then started to purchase the supplies he really wanted at the market.
Generally speaking, buy whatever is cheap.
Food is not cheap anywhere. After all, the imperial court imposed taxes and the natural disasters had not long passed. People kept food for themselves and rarely sold it.
However, wild products and home-made bamboo products are cheaper than expected.
Tang Zangyue emptied the general's palace, even the things that Hun Jun had given him, which was equivalent to stealing Hun Jun directly, so there was no need to worry about her habit of hoarding goods.
She asked the hunters to kill all the wild animals before harvesting them.
The hunter was in a dilemma, "Madam, it's a very dry day. Do you want to kill these animals now so that they won't stink when you take them back? It's better to just bundle them raw."
"No, just do as I say."
The Orion didn't try to persuade him anymore, he killed all of them and loaded them into Tang Zangyue's backpack, but in fact he entered Tang Zangyue's space.
As for bamboo products, most of them are bamboo tubes, bamboo chairs, bamboo baskets and baskets, as well as some brooms, chopsticks and other daily handicrafts, all of which were collected by Tang Zangyue into the space.
Just when Tang Zangyue returned home with a full load, someone said in her ear: "Madam, do you want watermelon?"
"Watermelon?" Tang Zangyue looked at the little dwarf beside her. He had a serious look on his face, but his mouth was slightly raised, and he looked like he could talk.
Tang Zangyue: "It is true that watermelons are abundant in this season, but aren't these precious things offered to the higher authorities? Do you have them?"
