After some intense preparations, Liu Yan took Liu Mai and Liu Yuan, as well as some good domestic servants, and set off from Chang'an in the afternoon of the third day.

This day is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of reunion, but for the people of Liufu, this Mid-Autumn Festival is destined to have no possibility of reunion.

In order to rush to Shanzhou as soon as possible and then go to Qinghai, Liu Yanjing, Liu Mai, and Liu Yuan, brothers set off immediately after getting ready, and they didn't even think that the day of departure was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Most of the money and materials needed for redemption were raised by Liu Yanjing, and I don't know who helped the Liu family fight for a special right, Wu Zetian sent someone to inform Liu Yanjing and others before they set off that they could rush to Qinghai through the post station of the imperial court.

This situation still made Liu Yanjing and others and Liu Yi breathe a sigh of relief, they can go to Shanzhou through the post station of the imperial court, which is much more convenient than going to Shanzhou privately, horses and grain and grass do not need to be prepared, and the speed is not known to be several times faster, there is more than 1,500 miles from Chang'an to Shanzhou, if you go by yourself, it may take a month or two, if you can use the horses of the post station, if you can afford to eat your own physical strength, then it will only take a few days or ten days to arrive.

When he set off, Liu Yi could only bid farewell to his uncle and two elder brothers at the gate of the mansion.

"Mother! The child and uncle are gone, don't worry, we will definitely redeem the father! Facing their mother Zhang, who was crying bitterly, Liu Mai and Liu Yuan both knelt in front of them and said with tears in their eyes. Liu Mai and Liu Yuan's wife, who were crying on the side, also knelt down together holding the child in their hands.

Seeing the two brothers and sisters-in-law like this, Liu Yi also knelt down, with tears in his eyes.

Qinghai is the Qinghai Lake of later generations, Liu Yi also knows that the road from Chang'an to Qinghai Lake is still quite far, nearly 2,000 miles away, in this era of no cars, trains, and airplanes, riding a horse is the fastest way to travel. It's just that even if the horse travels fast, it is already the limit to be able to walk more than 100 miles a day, although it is said that the horse that can use the post station can travel faster, but it is impossible to multiply it several times, after all, people can't bear the continuous bumps, that is to say, from Chang'an to Qinghai, the fastest will be more than ten days, if there are other reasons on the road to delay, then the time will be longer, Liu Yi hopes that when his uncle and two brothers arrive in Qinghai, his father can still be safe and sound.

The journey between the uncle and the two elder brothers was also full of hardships and dangers, especially after arriving in the Qinghai area, Liu Yi was also worried about the safety of his uncle and two elder brothers, and he was not sure that his uncle, the two elder brothers and other people in the palace would be able to come back safely. Looking at the two grief-stricken sisters-in-law, as well as the two little nephews who were waving their little hands and crying together, Liu Yi felt that the decision to let the two brothers go was very wrong, but the uncle decided to do so, and had already reported the plan of the trip to the court, and for the benefit of the family, it could only be so.

The farewell scene was a bit of life and death, the three brothers Liu Yi were crying in front of their mother, their mother Zhang was crying even more sadly, Liu Yanjing on the side also kept crying, and the other people in the house also cried.

"Da Lang, Ji Lang!" Zhang finally stopped crying, choked up and said to Liu Mai and Liu Yuan, "You have to be careful along the way, my mother doesn't want any accidents between the two of you, you have to listen to your uncle's orders in everything!" The mother is accompanied by Saburo, and the two daughters-in-law take care of her, and she will take care of the affairs of the house..."

"Mother, don't worry, the children will take care of themselves, and you have to take care of your body!" Liu Mai and Liu Yuan also stopped crying for the time being, wiping their eyes that were already crying red.

Zhang wiped away his tears, and to all his surprises, he pounced in front of Liu Yanjing, who was kneeling on the side: "His uncle, Da Lang and Erlang will be handed over to you, everything is entrusted to you to take care of, I hope you can redeem your husband back..."

The three brothers Liu Yi also knelt in front of Liu Yanjing.

"Sister-in-law, you don't do that!" Liu Yanjing was startled and wanted to step forward to support Zhang, but he felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly said to Liu Mai: "Da Lang, hurry up and help your mother up..."

Liu Mai picked up his mother and motioned to the weeping maids on the side to come and support her.

"Sister-in-law, no matter what, I will redeem my eldest brother back, don't worry!" Liu Yanjing said very resolutely, and then shouted to Liu Mai and Liu Yuan: "Da Lang, Erlang, let's go..."

"Yes, uncle!" Liu Mai and Liu Mai got on the horse as they said, followed Liu Yanjing and walked a few steps, and turned around almost at the same time.

"San Lang, everything in the family depends on you!" Liu Mai shouted loudly.

"Uncle, eldest brother, second brother, you can go at ease, with me, everything will be fine!" Liu Yi shouted loudly, waving at his uncle and two elder brothers.

"Drive!" Liu Yanjing and his entourage rode up and galloped, raising a puff of dust.

―――――――――

The moonlight that night was surprisingly good, Liu Yi sat at the stone table in the courtyard with his mother, and Liu Yi's two sisters-in-law also sat with their children in their arms, and the people were all driven away by Liu Yi.

On the stone table, there are several plates of Mid-Autumn Festival edible things such as moon cakes and pomegranates, but they are not missing at all.

Liu Yi peeled out a pomegranate, broke out more than half of it, and handed it to his mother, "Mother, this pomegranate has very few seeds, and it tastes very sweet, you can taste it!" ”

After getting the news that his father Liu Xianli was defeated and captured by the Tubo people, his mother Zhang had nothing to eat and drink for a few days, and after his uncle and two brothers left in the morning, his mother seemed to see some hope and ate a little, but very little, which made Liu Yi very heartbroken, and just comforted his mother, and his mother's expression also improved a little, so that Liu Yi was a little relieved.

"San Lang, you eat, my mother doesn't want to eat!" Zhang Shiqiang shook his head with a smile, pushed Liu Yi's hand holding the pomegranate back, looked up at the full moon in the sky, and sighed heavily, "Last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, our family was still here to enjoy the moon together, but I didn't expect that this year, there are only a few of our mothers!" Zhang said, and big tears rolled out of the corners of his eyes.

"Mother, next year's Mid-Autumn Festival, we will definitely be able to be together again," Liu Yi showed a pretended relaxed smile, and then turned to the two tearful sisters-in-law and said, "Two sisters-in-law, do you say?" ”

The two daughters-in-law of the Liu family, Wang and Li, also responded with a strong smile, "What the little brother-in-law said is that mother-in-law doesn't have to worry, they will definitely be able to bring their father-in-law back!" ”

"I hope so," Zhang sighed again, "Everyone is tired these days, let's rest early!" With that, he stood up.

"Mother, you should rest early!" Liu Yi also stood up and supported his mother. In the face of a full moon, the few people left in the mansion will only increase their sadness, and it is better to rest earlier.

"Yes, mother-in-law!" The two daughters-in-law of the Liu family responded, also stood up, and followed Zhang out of the hospital.

―――――――――

Liu Yi, who returned to his house, stared at the full moon outside the window, and he also understood that his uncle and two elder brothers were going to Qinghai, and it was still unknown whether they could redeem their father, but even if they could change their father, the reputation of the Liu family would be deeply damaged, and his father's future would also be affected.

Is the task of reviving the family's reputation really falling on his head? Liu Yi thought, his father suffered this hardship, and his life and death were uncertain, was this a test for himself, a traverser, to put himself to death and live later?

If this is the case, then you can't slack off in everything you do, you must seize all opportunities, Liu Yi believes that she can grasp everything.

Although the situation was so unfavorable to his own house, Liu Yi did not have the slightest idea of being discouraged, and he was desperately practicing some difficult riding and archery movements during this time, preparing to show them in the upcoming martial arts competition.

But what Liu Yi didn't expect was that something even more unfavorable to his house happened again...
