Yu Ce looked at Fourth Uncle Chen intently. He did not expect that in so many years, Fourth Uncle Chen had reached the point where he could stand alone.
But Yu Ce also knew in his heart that it was indeed impossible to take everyone to Yongzhou. Not to mention whether the goal was big or not, what these people would do after arriving in Yongzhou was also a problem.
While Uncle Chen and Yu Ce were talking, Nie Shi looked at Su Yu who was sitting aside.
Su Yu couldn't help but frown and looked straight at Nie Shi.
The look in this boy's eyes was really not because he was overthinking it, but because it was just too weird.
At this time, Uncle Chen, who was on the throne, began to speak: "Those who want to leave, just stand up, and those who stay, sit where they are."
Then, Uncle Chen waved his hand to Yu Ce who was on the ground, indicating that he could stand up.
Yu Ce stood up and looked at the shopkeepers on one side.
At the beginning, many people were naturally reluctant to move.
Yu Ce couldn't help but frown, and turned his help-seeking eyes to Mr. Wu, who was at ease.
Mr. Wu and the old shopkeeper of the Yu family were old acquaintances, so they naturally saw Yu Ce's anxiety.
He chuckled: "The capital is indeed more unstable than in previous years. My old man still said that young people should go where they should."
Then, he smiled and said: "An old man like me, once he gets old, stays in a place he is familiar with. After he dies, he will have his own longevity."
Yu Ce couldn't help but look at Mr. Wu blankly. He still clearly remembered that when he came, Wu Jiang told him that he must take the old man over.
But now that Mr. Wu is obviously unwilling to return to Yongzhou with him, what should he do?
What should I say to Wujiang?
Yu Ce clenched his fists.
But Mr. Wu didn't seem to see Yu Ce's eyesight, and he was just smoking.
Fourth Uncle Chen was sitting on top of everyone, his pursed lips looking particularly stubborn.
He knew in his heart that if he stayed in the capital, he would most likely die.
However, if everyone in the Chen family leaves the capital like a swarm, they will inevitably be targeted by someone who is interested, and I am afraid that by then, not a single person will be left alive.
He sat slumped on the main seat, and a voice deep in his heart told him not to relax.
Just like the night before Chen Jinjun left the capital, the entire meeting hall was busy again.
Nie Shi walked up to Su Yu and lowered his voice: "Miaomiao said, you must let me take you back."
Su Yu was not surprised at all by what he called Su Miaomiao, but Su Yu was still a little confused in her heart.
"What's your relationship with Miaomiao?"
Su Yu sat on her seat, drinking tea as she looked at Nie Shi.
Nie Shi paused: "To tell you the truth, I feel very happy."
Su Yu snorted: "This girl, do you think I'm gone?"
Nie Shi lowered his head, not daring to look at Su Yu.
After a long time, Su Yu put down the tea cup in her hand and said quietly: "Forget it, I want to go to Yongzhou to hear what she said with my own eyes."
Nie Shi broke out in cold sweat on his back and nodded in agreement.
The whole night, there was no silence in the Chen family's meeting hall. It was different from the time when I followed Chen Jinjun to leave the capital. Those who are leaving now should think carefully about whether they can really let go of everything in the capital.
Many old shopkeepers still choose to stay in the capital.
Yu Ce walked up to Mr. Wu and knelt down directly.
Mr. Wu's eyelids trembled, and he looked at Yu Ce sadly: "Just tell him that the old man's life supplies have been prepared, and he will have a place to go when he dies, so don't worry."
As he spoke, Mr. Wu looked at Yu Ce kindly.
Yu Ce pursed his lips tightly and still knelt in front of Mr. Wu.
"This is the promise Wu Jiang and I made. If you don't go, I..."
"I can't leave if I can't go."
Mr. Wu took a puff of cigarette and said quietly.
The Wu family is a grain merchant. Grain merchants are the most basic thing in a city. More or less people buy grain from grain merchants.
If he took all his belongings and ran to Yongzhou, he would indeed be safe, but what about the entire capital?
Although there is more than just one grain merchant in the capital, if he leaves, there is no guarantee that other grain merchants will not think of leaving the capital.
So, I still can't leave.
Yu Ce looked at Mr. Wu with disapproval and kept advising him.
But Mr. Wu had made up his mind and closed his eyes, out of sight and out of mind.
Yu Ce was also heartbroken, and he knelt straight in front of Mr. Wu, as if he would not get up unless Mr. Wu nodded.
The shopkeepers who were walking around looked at Yu Ce and then at Mr. Wu, and naturally they all guessed what was going on.
Many shopkeepers also came to advise Mr. Wu.
Everyone knows that Mr. Wu was among the group of people who first started to follow his old club. Naturally, he does not and does not hope that a veteran of the Chen family will not end well.
At the end, almost all the shopkeepers had decided whether to stay or go, but Yu Ce still knelt in front of Mr. Wu.
"Shopkeeper Wu." Uncle Chen couldn't stand it anymore either.
He knew why Mr. Wu was unwilling to leave the capital, but as the son of Mr. Chen, he also knew that if his father had not had these old guys, the Chen family would not be where it is today.
To be fair, Uncle Chen also wanted Mr. Wu to go to Yongzhou to hide.
However, no matter what people around him say or persuade, Mr. Wu always has a kind and kind attitude, but he is still unwilling to let go of the matter of leaving the capital for Yongzhou.
Yu Ce gritted his teeth.
Mr. Wu took a deep look at Yu Ce and didn't say anything. He just let out a long sigh.
Then, regardless of the attention of everyone, Mr. Wu left the meeting hall on his own with a cane.
Yu Ce stared blankly at Mr. Wu's back and let Nie Shi help him up.
Uncle Chen couldn't help but shook his head: "The old man's temper is like this. Although he seems kind and easy to talk to, he is not willing to change the things he believes in."
While they were talking, Mr. Chen's accountant had already handed the list of departures and departures into Uncle Chen's hands.
Uncle Chen glanced at it and nodded: "If you are leaving this time, don't think about leaving anything behind. If you can take it with you, you must take it with you."
He also knew very well in his heart that once Shanhaiguan was breached and the capital city fell, the Chen family might really be put under attack.
What can be brought to Yongzhou now is as much as can be saved.
After all, we cannot let the efforts of so many generations of our family be wasted in our own hands.
