When Jiang Li briefly explained the situation, Mr. Gong was so frightened that there were beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Oh my God! There is a thief following me all the way! I haven't noticed it yet! Fortunately, you are here!" Mr. Gong quickly got up.
"By the way, my dear nephew, where are my other family members?"
Mr. Gong really moved his family north this time, and there were so many female dependents! He was very worried.
Jiang Li said: "It should be fine. We caught the thief before he could make a move. Master Gong, please come with us to check."
Mr. Gong also nodded quickly, followed Jiang Shou, Jiang Yuan and the others to check everyone in the wing. Everyone slowly woke up, and Mr. Gong breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, everything is okay. They are all still here.
"
Seeing that the whole family was safe, Mr. Gong finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the threshold. His wife and children were also frightened and hid beside Mr. Gong, seeking comfort.
Mrs. Gong also recognized the son of the Jiang family and said, "What the hell is going on! Why are we sleeping so deeply!"
Jiang Li then briefly explained the matter, and Mrs. Gong also took a breath: "I thought we were cautious enough, cautious enough, and low-key enough, but we didn't want to be noticed. Fortunately, you nephews are here...
…”
Jiang Li asked: "Mrs. Gong, Master Gong, what is going on? We have been waiting for you to come, but we haven't seen you come to Beijing yet."
Master Gong sighed deeply: "Don't mention it."
Then, Mr. Gong told what happened along the way.
It turned out that, fortunately, the Jiang family reminded them in time, and they were already ready to go. All the property that should be sold was sold, and everything that should be deposited in a bank in a low-key manner was saved. Mr. Gong brought a large family with him, and he also
I only took along some traveling expenses, dressed up in a modest way, and tried my best to keep a low profile, and headed north all the way.
Fortunately, they left early and the flood disaster did not affect them at all when it started. By the time Mr. Gong knew something had happened, they had already walked a long way. But a large family would inevitably need to stop and go, or
Rest at the inn.
The speed also slowed down, and slowly, Mr. Gong's motorcade could also find some poor people fleeing the famine following them. Those people looked like they were fleeing the disaster.
Mr. Gong and Mrs. Gong are actually kind-hearted, but they can't bear it. However, they also know very well that if they stop and spread the so-called unnecessary "goodwill", the final result is likely to be a lack of people and snakes swallowing elephants, and the lives of their Gong family may be at risk.
There was no guarantee. So he was very careful along the way to get rid of people fleeing the disaster.
Sometimes we had to take detours, and a large family couldn't move very fast, and the carriage couldn't run all the time, so the arrival was delayed again and again.
I originally thought that I would be able to enter Gyeonggi Province smoothly tomorrow and it would be safer, but I didn't expect that something happened at this station.
Mr. Gong said fearfully: "Fortunately, nephews, you guys came here and saved our lives. Otherwise, we orphans and young ones would have died here without a trace. By the way, nephews, you are wearing the stars and the moon."
, where to go?”
Jiang Li said, "I can't tell you, Mr. Gong, about this matter."
Mr. Gong is also a smart man. He doesn't make too many guesses. He just has some vague guesses in his heart. "Then...you must be careful along the way."
Jiang Li told him the names of several shops and whispered: "You guys rush to Beijing quickly. If there is anything else, go to these shops and tell me my name."
Master Gong's eyes flashed, and he soon understood that these shops were probably owned by Jiang Li.
He nodded, "Thank you, my dear nephew."
Jiang Yuan also left some hidden weapons and poisons for them to use for self-defense, so he, Jiang Shou and Jiang Li said goodbye to Master Gong and the others, and returned to the carriage in the dark.
At this moment, Jiang Qi and the others were still keeping their eyes open vigilantly. Jiang Xi called the cuckoo three times as usual before opening the curtain and nodding: "Everything has been resolved. The road ahead for us may be difficult."
Wei Cheng and Jiang Qi looked at each other and saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
When Jiang Li told Mr. Gong and the others what they had encountered in a few words, Wei Cheng and Jiang Qi felt even heavier. Jiang Qi said: "Master Gong's journey to the north is already difficult enough. If we go south now, it will only become more dangerous.
, more eye-catching.”
After all, they are all refugees. The refugees are heading north, but there is a group of people who are quite well-dressed and are heading south.
If you really have a good heart and don't arrest them or harm them, it really can't be justified.
At first glance, it seemed that he was sent by the imperial court.
At this time, Fu Bao, who was in Jiang Qi's arms, also woke up. She stretched out and had already listened to the whole conversation of her uncles. "If we can't go south by following the normal official route and there are many dangers - then we might as well
Take a detour?"
Detour?
Jiang Qi also quickly thought about the route in his mind, and the map of Tianqi Kingdom was displayed in his mind, "This flood will affect Huining, Anrong, Qingyuan... If you want to take a detour, you must pass through Shangtang and Guifeng."
…”
Wei Cheng was obviously very familiar with the map and said directly: "Then we must pass through the territory of the Southwest King!"
Jiang Qi also remained silent.
If it is said that officialdom is dangerous, the imperial court has never dealt with the king of Southwest.
They were acting under the orders of the imperial court, but they had to pass through the territory of the Southwest King. It was hard to say whether the Southwest King would notice it, or whether he would let them pass.
Wei Cheng closed his eyes, "There is really a wolf in front and a tiger behind..."
But Fubao didn't understand very well, "What's wrong with passing through the territory of the Southwest King? Isn't he a terrible king?"
Wei Cheng looked into Xiao Naituanzi's innocent eyes and suddenly said: "Fu Bao, why don't you make the decision?"
"I?"
Fu Bao pointed at himself.
Wei Cheng nodded with a smile: "Tell me, which way should we go?"
Fubao didn't even think about it, "Then it's rock, paper, scissors. If His Highness the Crown Prince wins, we'll take the official route. If I win, then we'll take the Guifeng route."
This sounds like a very childish way, but the prince really wants to do it.
He nodded, "Okay."
Fu Bao stretched out his little hand, "Come on, rock, paper, scissors!"
Fu Bao is cloth, and Wei Cheng is stone.
Wei Cheng said: "I have lost. Let's set off and take the Guifeng detour to Huanglong - Qingyuan."
It is said that the most serious flood disaster this time is in Qingyuan, and the original waterproof fortification was also in Qingyuan.
He wanted to see if they would scare the shit out of the local officials if they went there secretly.
After deciding on the route, Jiang Qi and the others had nothing to say, so they just followed it.
The carriage quietly drove away from the back door of the inn, heading away from the official road.
The Jiang Li brothers would just sit next to the coachman. If it weren't for the fact that the coachman was also a palace guard, and his martial arts were not bad, they would have driven away by themselves, and there would be fewer people in the team.
In the carriage, Fu Bao squinted his eyes and called up the sharing panel in his mind.
Sure enough, everyone in the family probably couldn't sleep tonight. Mrs. Jiang and others were anxiously asking on the panel how they were doing and what the situation was.
Fu Bao came forward and said something very good.
Mrs. Jiang and the others responded quickly.
[Mrs. Jiang: As long as it’s okay, it’ll be okay.]
[Wen Niang: Are you sleepy, Fubao? It’s so late, is your uncle around? Ask him to watch you sleep.]
[Jiang Pei: As for my eighth uncle and the others, why are they always missing?]
[Jiang Li: We are following.]
[Old Mrs. Jiang:! Okay, you are all grown up now, your wings have become stiff, and you are disobedient, right? You followed me secretly without even saying hello! 】
Jiang Li and the others naturally apologized for a while, but they also firmly expressed their determination to act together with their eldest brother.
In the end, Mrs. Jiang had no choice but to curse and turn a blind eye.
But they were all praying in their hearts, praying that they would have a safe journey and nothing would happen, and it would be best not to use space to protect them.
Fubao only watched it for a while. Since Jiang Yuan came back, the matter of mining in Zhuangzi has been left to the housekeeper to keep an eye on. The most recent batch cannot be scanned, and they are all hidden in Zhuangzi.
Before, when Jiang Yuan was still watching Zhuangzi, all the ores produced every day were directly scanned and applied for and put into Fubao's space. Now there is a big pile piled up in the open space, and it is just a matter of finding an opportunity to make iron.
, Fubao can complete the task of mining.
But this is all for later. If nothing happens, we will have to wait until we return to Beijing to find a way to deal with it.
Fu Bao started to feel sleepy again as he thought about it. He leaned in his uncle's arms, tilted his little head, and fell asleep again.
