After packing their luggage, the family was reluctant to leave. But! Still sensibly left the hill and walked towards the east.

In the eastern sky, a red sun rose. It's a little dazzling, and it makes people feel the urge to cry when they see it.

In the distant valley, a thin layer of white mist falls, as if the earth is wearing linen and filial piety.

Originally, everything was beautiful, but in the eyes of Zhao Nu's family, it was all sadness.

Everyone doesn't speak, they all know! Loved ones may never come back.

Zhao Nu walked in the front, brandishing the saber in her hand and cutting the thorns that blocked the way. At this time, she was not cutting the thorns blocking the road, but venting the sorrow in her heart.

The eldest daughter walked at the end with several of the heaviest burdens, vigilantly observing all the movements behind her, and also hoping for a miracle. In her hand, she also holds a saber, ready to throw away her burden and go into battle at any time.

At this time, she! I hope that there will be a killing, as a way to vent the sorrow in my heart.

In the middle, there are the underage children, who support each other and walk with difficulty. They also have to carry a burden on their bodies.

At noon, I came to the border checkpoint between Zhongshan and Zhao.

The previous levels have been abandoned for years because no one walks.

The house where the soldiers used to live has long since fallen into disrepair and collapsed, leaving only ruins.

On each side of the level, there is a wide field, which is already overgrown with weeds.

Zhao Nu crossed the border with her children and found a place on the wide field, and the family paused.

She faced Zhongshan Kingdom to the west and burst into tears. endured the grief, but did not cry out loud.

In her heart, she strongly blamed herself.

"Husband! I'm sorry! Husband! Our eldest son, may never come back! Woooooo ……”

In the heart! Zhao Nu cried.

At this moment, the mood of Zhao Nu's family is the same as that of relatives who have been conscripted to the battlefield, and the mood is sad.

During the Warring States Period, nine out of ten people who went to military service could not return. Out of a hundred people who are in the military, one or two disabled people are lucky to come back, and they can make the family happy.

Albeit! Relatives who go to serve in the military are sound and strong, and now it is rare to have a life back. Although their bodies are no longer sound, their hearts are sound.

Family affection is back!

Daddy's expectation has finally come true.

After lunch, Zhao Nu did not leave. But! Let the eldest daughter go to the ruins to clean up a room and come out, don't leave today, and spend the night here tonight.

After lunch, Zhao Nu, who had always been strong, suddenly collapsed.

The eldest daughter did not cry when she saw her mother fall, she asked her younger siblings to take care of her mother, and she went to clean up the house in the ruins herself. And then! Come and carry your mother to the house.

The younger siblings are very helpful and carry all the baggage to the house.

"Mother! Woooooo ......" looked at the weak mother, and the eldest daughter knelt there and wept.

When the younger brothers and sisters saw that their mother was sick, they all cried.

"Don't cry! Our Zhao family's baby is not allowed to cry! Blood, sweat and tears! Zhao Nu commanded in a stern, deep voice.

"Mother! Woooooo ……”

Zhao Nu raised her weak hand and pointed to the intersection to the west. The meaning is obvious, let everyone look towards the intersection, will there be a miracle: will the loved ones come back from there?

Bai Gui hurried back to Zhongshan Kingdom, but did not stop at Xuelian's house, so he went to the capital of Zhongshan Kingdom to find his relatives.

Among the nobles of Zhongshan Kingdom, he not only had a good relationship with Lan Gongzi, but also had a good relationship with other nobles. Although there is no direct contact with the monarch, it is also good in the impression of the monarch.

Among the nobles of the Zhongshan Kingdom, Bai Gui still has a certain influence. After all! Since he came to Zhongshan, he has brought a huge amount of land tax income to Zhongshan.

Bai Gui has always taken the initiative to pay taxes in business, and will not evade taxes. He will not collude with some nobles to do things that harm the interests of the king. Only when the monarch is insatiable will he evade taxes and use means.

Without giving profit to the merchant, the merchant will naturally use the means.

It is only when some powerful people in this country are insatiable that Bai Gyu will evade taxes and use means.

For example! In the state of Wei, King Wei Hui and some of his subordinates were insatiable, so he evaded taxes and kept his living space.

In the matter of the struggle between the nobles of Zhongshan Kingdom, Bai Gui did not participate. He is a businessman, in business, everything is based on the convenience of doing business, and the profit is the main thing.

But he inadvertently saved Lan Gongzi, so he was closer to Lan Gongzi.

In order to save his life, Lan Gongzi handed over the ranch to him.

That's it! Baekyu owns the ranch.

And in normal times, the people in the ranch are all Lan Gongzi's, and he just hired them.

The last time he was in the horse trading business, he arranged for his own people to be stationed to help take care of it. After the horses were trafficked away, the ranch returned to its original appearance. It used to be managed by one arm, but now it is managed by one arm.

The one-armed person who is ostensibly Lan Gongzi is actually the same person as Bai Gui. People from the outside world don't know that everyone in Lan Gongzi's ranch, whether they are Lan Gongzi or not, has now become Bai Gui's people.

Bai Gui and Bai Guanren have this ability.

Wherever he goes, there will be followers. Everyone else believed in him and was willing to follow him.

This battle between the nobles of Zhongshan Kingdom was not aimed at Bai Gui. But! It's for Lan Gongzi again.

Lan Gongzi's former enemies and opponents, taking advantage of the opportunity of him to live in seclusion in the depths of the prairie for many years, deliberately created rumors and asked this stupid nobleman to rob Lan Gongzi's pasture. And then! He arranged for someone to frame Zhao Nu's family.

The purpose is obvious! It's to bring down a stupid nobleman again. Their purpose in doing so was obvious: to get Baekyu involved.

You are not robbing Lan Gongzi's ranch, you are robbing Bai Gui's ranch.

Because! Lan Gongzi handed over the ranch to Bai Gui many years ago to raise horses. The people on Lan Gongzi's ranch are ostensibly the people of Lan Gongzi's past. In fact, he has long been a person who has become Baekyu. If you kill the people on the pasture, won't you have trouble with Bai Gui?

Bai Gui came forward, and naturally he was a success!

Bai Gui made a statement: no matter which nobleman of Zhongshan Kingdom ended up with the ranch, he wanted that land.

I raise horses on it and I will tax you, don't you want to pay taxes?

Furthermore! Bai Gui told the king of Zhongshan that Lan Gongzi was not dead, and that he was living in seclusion deep in the grassland. I went there again not too long ago and had a drink with him.

Moreover! brought back Lan Gongzi's token and handwritten letter.

After settling the side of the king of Zhongshan and convincing the nobleman who had robbed the ranch, Bai Gui hurried to the ranch. Outcome! It's still a step too late. Under the secret misfortune of the wicked, Zhao Nu's family was still expelled.

Bai Gui chased all the way, but still didn't help Zhao Nu, and the unfortunate incident still happened.

Looking at the fresh blood and the corpse that had just died, Bai Gui and his party chased to the border of Zhao State.
