In the wax moon, there is a New Year's flavor, and the humid and cold air of Xuanzhou City is filled with joy and expectation different from November.

For the victims who fled to Xuanzhou City, being able to survive a once-in-a-century natural disaster is the blessing of the heavens and the ancestors. As long as they survive this winter, they will be able to cultivate their fields and rebuild their homes by the beginning of spring next year.

The refugees, who had saved some money by relying on the relief of the imperial court or selling coolies, had begun to discuss the return of the lunar month to their hometowns and worship their ancestors at the end of the year.

Many Qi County victims went to the Wanxiang Teahouse and the auction building to ask when Shen Ge would return to his hometown. Shen Xiaosui's ancestral home is in Jiangting Village, Wusha Town, and since Shen Ge has replaced his household registration, it stands to reason that he will return to his hometown to worship at the ancestral tomb of the Shen family - if the ancestral tomb is still there. Shen Ge also wanted to go deep into the mountains to see if the wolves that raised him had migrated elsewhere due to the flood.

Since you plan to return to your hometown, it is natural that the more people there are, the safer it is. So someone came to ask, and Shen Ge replied on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, at the south wharf of Xuanzhou City, the passenger boat returned to his hometown.

Shen Ge was preparing to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and the divine doctor Guo Shenquan also mentioned to Lin Ruyu that he wanted to return to his hometown as soon as possible.

Lin Ruyu was surprised, "Didn't you say that you would leave on the twentieth day of the lunar month?"

Guo Shenquan did plan like that, but that was before Prince An came to Xuanzhou, and now he has to go, "When will Prince An leave, when will the old man come back."

Lin Ruyu understood, "Actually, apart from our family and Shen Ge, not many people know that you are here, as long as you don't go out, you won't meet Prince An."

The Lin family has few things, the housewife is reasonable and has the means, and takes care of the house and the house in an orderly manner, the Lin family has everything in the medicinal materials storehouse, Guo Shenquan wants to use whatever medicine, and someone will send it to him by name. Therefore, after curing the illness of the two wives of the Lin family, the Lin family sincerely kept him, and Guo Shenquan also stayed, happy to think about it.

But now, the fear of King An's son has overshadowed the attraction of the Lin family's medicinal herb library to him, so Guo Shenquan packed his luggage without hesitation, "Girl, do you know why King An lives in Anzhou?"

"Yes." In the past few months, Lin Ruyu and Shen Ge have collected a lot of information related to King An's Mansion through various channels.

King An is the imperial uncle of Emperor Qianchang. After King An, who was born by the imperial concubine, failed to compete for the throne with the former emperor born to the queen of the main palace, there were only two paths in front of King An:

Either he was imprisoned in Xingyang, or he managed to escape from Xingyang.

King An took the initiative to hand over the military power, and left his eleven-year-old eldest son He Jiongming in Xingyang as a hostage, and the emperor spared King An's life and demoted him to Anzhou, which is more than 1,500 miles away from Xingyang, and was named the king of Anzhou.

At that time, Anzhou was poor and bad. After King An arrived in Anzhou, he was benevolent to the people, so that the people of Anzhou could recuperate and recuperate, and the population gradually increased; He Jiongming, who stayed in Xingyang as a hostage, was respectful and humble, and accumulated a good reputation, and the first emperor couldn't find a reason to kill him.

When He Jiongming was seventeen years old, Princess An was seriously ill, and He Jiongming wrote to implore the emperor to allow him to go to Anzhou to serve his mother's illness. At that time, the first emperor had already sat on the throne, and King An had no military power in his hands, so it was not a problem, so the first emperor approved He Jiongming's invitation and let him out of Beijing.

If the tiger returns to the mountain, there will be trouble. It was because the emperor was not decisive enough back then, if he had directly killed King An's father and son at that time, there would have been no man-made disaster that flooded Sanzhou this year.

Guo Shenquan continued, "Girl, don't look at Prince An's smiling face all day long, and think that he is a good person. He ......"

After eating and drinking for so long in the Lin family, and taking so many medicinal materials and medical prescriptions from other people, Guo Shenquan felt that he should also give Lin Ruyu some truth, so that they could stay away from Wang An's son.

"The old man has never mentioned this matter to others, so don't go out and talk nonsense after you hear it. When the old man was looking for medicine in the mountains outside Xingyang City, he once saw the prince of King An in the valley and dismembered his mount...... I enjoyed it very much. He was only fifteen years old at the time, and he was like that...... Girl, the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change, we can hide as far as we can from such a person."

The royal treasure horse was dismembered by the prince of An with a knife, and the flesh and blood were separated, how bloody the scene was, how much the prince of An enjoyed laughing. Even though more than ten years have passed, Guo Shenquan can't help but chill when he thinks of the bloody valley.

No wonder he was so skillful when he plucked out his heart. Lin Ruyu raised her hand and thanked her, "Thank you for telling the divine doctor, Ruyu wrote it down." I will prepare a ship for you to take you out of Xuanzhou City, and after the prince of An leaves, I will send someone to pick you up."

Back in the inner courtyard, Lin Ruyu informed her mother that Doctor Guo was leaving.

Fang's analysis, "King An lost the battle for the throne, He Jiongming was reduced from the emperor's grandson to a proton, and his status plummeted. The better he pretends to be in front of people, the more angry he will become, and he will become a demon. He still looks like a human being, but he's dehuman."

Lin Ruyu nodded, if he still had humanity, he would not blow up the Wolong Causeway for his own selfish desires and destroy the lives of the people, such a person should only be sent to the eighteenth layer of hell!

"Madam," said the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, outside the door, "the guards of Prince An have sent an invitation."

Lin Ruyu and her mother glanced at each other, opened the door, took the gilded invitation to confirm that it was non-toxic before opening it and handing it to her mother.

He Jiongming, the son of King An, will hold a banquet in Fanghua Garden three days later to thank the people of Sanzhou for their generosity in helping the victims.

"Thank you for the people of the three states?" Lin Ruyu snorted coldly, "He should go and ask the undead in Sanzhou to see if they agree." Mother, he held a banquet to win people's hearts, let's see what other families plan first, and then make a decision?"

Fang closed the invitation, "The prince of the world held a banquet, and no one in Xuanzhou dared to slap his face. Let's see if only the head of the other family will go, or if the family will follow. It's fine if only the head of the family goes, but if the family members follow, let's ......."

Lin Ruyu knew what her mother was worried about, "If only the head of the family goes, let's let my second uncle go for a while." If other family members follow, your daughter will go with you."

Fang shook his head, "Jiaojiao doesn't have to go, you are already engaged, it is reasonable to stay at home and embroider the dowry, and no one can fault it."

"If my daughter doesn't go this time, he'll find another excuse. When Hao Lianzhai hadn't rescued you and Ah Heng, his daughter dared to calculate him, let alone now." Lin Ruyu smiled mischievously, "My daughter's pain and fear have flowed away with tears, in the future, only we will calculate his share, and he will not want to take advantage of our family's penny."

Seeing that her daughter had already made up her mind, Fang's didn't stop her, "Let's see what other families plan to talk about."
