Since Xu Junze and Honggu both said so, and the fifth uncle also meant so, Lin Shuran no longer insisted and decided to leave Jingshi tomorrow.

Lin Shuran called Xu Mingye, Xu Minghan, Su Ge, and Xiao Yanyan to him, and told them about this decision, and asked them to leave with him.

The other three didn't have any opinions, but Xiao Yanyan showed hesitation, because she knew very well that she and Lin Shuran and the others were not all the way, they were going back to the Jin Dynasty, and she hadn't found her younger siblings yet, she was worried that it would be difficult to come back as soon as she left Jingshi.

Lin Shuran saw Xiao Yanyan's thoughts, so he said to her: "Miss Xiao, your second brother just sent a message, saying that your younger brothers and sisters are not in the Jingshi, so you can't find them if you stay here, or come with us, and when you get outside the city, we will find a way to send you to your grandfather, which is also what your second brother Xiao He meant." ”

Xiao Yanyan anxiously asked Lin Shuran: "Then can my second brother find out where my younger brothers and sisters are?" ”

"He said that your younger brothers and sisters were all captured by Zheng Xian's people, and now Zheng Xian is threatening your grandfather with them, and asked you not to worry, your grandfather and they will definitely rescue your younger brothers and sisters!" Lin Shuran said to Xiao Yanyan.

When Xiao Yanyan heard this, she had no idea of continuing to stay in Jingshi, she wanted to see her grandfather as soon as possible, and then find a way to rescue her younger siblings.

So the next day, under Xu Junze's arrangement, Lin Shuran and others formed a juggling team with several jugglers to mix up the Jingshi, but Xu Junze did not follow them, but asked Uncle Chu to send Lin Shuran and others to the next Fucheng first.

A few days later, a group of people who were hurrying day and night had arrived outside the city of Yanzhou in Xia Kingdom, but because the city gate was closed, they could not enter the city for the time being, so they could only find an inn outside the city to live temporarily.

"Shopkeeper, why did the gate of Yanzhou suddenly close?" After settling down, Uncle Chu asked the innkeeper as if he had not yet done so.

The shopkeeper told him that Yanzhou had changed the general of the city in the middle of the night yesterday, and now Zheng Xian, the general of Linwei, is the highest commander of Yanzhou, and the rebels chased Zheng Xian to Yanzhou, and they were about to attack Yanzhou City.

Yanzhou City only has two gates in the north and south, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Zheng Xian has ordered the city gate to be closed last night, that is, he is worried that the rebels will attack the city and seize Yanzhou, and now the people in the city can't get out, and the people outside the city can't get in, and everyone doesn't dare to enter Yanzhou City again, so they all make a detour to other places.

On the way, Lin Shuran and they heard that Zheng Xian's army and the rebels led by Xiao Jingde had fought each other, although both sides suffered heavy casualties, but it seemed that the rebels were superior, and now Zheng Xian had been forced to stay in Yanzhou City.

"Madam, I'm afraid we'll have to stay here for a few more days, and we won't be able to get around Yanzhou City for the time being!" After Uncle Chu went out to investigate, he told Lin Shuran that at present, they could only go out smoothly through Yanzhou City, and they couldn't go any other way, and Xiao Jingde's army had already been stationed outside the South City Gate.

Xiao Yanyan couldn't sit still after learning the news, now she and her grandfather are separated by a distance from Yanzhou City, and her younger brothers and sisters are likely to be in this city, only hating that she doesn't have a pair of wings to fly to her grandfather's side, and she hates that she can't save her family because she is a woman.

Lin Shuran asked Xiao Yanyan to calm down, they would definitely find a way to send her to her grandfather, but now they needed to find a way to contact Xiao Jingde.

Uncle Chu took the initiative to ask Ying to say that he could do it, so Xiao Yanyan wrote a letter to Uncle Chu, hoping that he could hand it over to her grandfather Xiao Jingde in person, and Uncle Chu took the letter and left.

That night, Uncle Chu came back, and with him came a middle-aged and sturdy man, this person was Xiao Jingde's close guard Chang Geng, Xiao Yanyan knew him, and from his mouth Xiao Yanyan confirmed that her four younger brothers and sisters were in Zheng Xian's hands, and now they are being detained in Yanzhou City.

"Miss, you stay here for a few days first, and when the master captures Yanzhou City, you can meet!" Guard Chang Gung said.

Xiao Yanyan nodded, she didn't want to cause trouble to her grandfather at this time, Chang Geng sent a message to Lin Shuran for Xiao Jingde, saying that he was very grateful to Lin Shuran and his wife for their help to the Xiao family, and after capturing Yanzhou City, Xiao Jingde would send someone to escort them to the border city, and then return to the Jin Dynasty.

Now in a short period of time, the army of the Xiao family has controlled most of the cities of the Xia Kingdom, Xiao Jingde established himself as the king of Qi, perhaps because he has more help and less help for the unjust, and the rebels are more popular and popular with the people than the army of the imperial court.

Lin Shuran thought that if he continued to travel south and was escorted by Xiao Jingde's people, then he would save a lot of unnecessary trouble, and the way home would become much smoother.

"Mother, if we help the Xiao family capture Yanzhou City, then we can go home quickly!" After Xiao Jingde's guard Chang Geng left, Xu Mingye found Lin Shuran and said excitedly.

Lin Shuran looked at him and smiled slightly, and said: "How can it be so easy to capture the Yanzhou City in front of him, even if Zheng Xian loses the battle, but he still has at least more than 200,000 troops in his hands, plus the original defenders of Yanzhou City, not to mention 300,000 is not much more, and this city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I am afraid it will be a protracted war!" ”

Xu Mingye said indifferently: "I don't think it's that difficult, as long as you plan carefully, and join forces with the Xiao family army outside, as soon as the city gate is opened, the army will be welcomed in and Zheng Xian's people killed, and the siege will be much easier!" ”

"The real battlefield is not the sand table you play at home, there are many variables, and the danger is also increasing, this is not a child playing a house game, Brother Ye, don't act rashly!" Lin Shuran hurriedly warned Xu Mingye that this child's thoughts shocked her heart, and she always felt that he would not settle down.

"Mother, don't worry, I won't come nonsense, I know the severity!" Xu Mingye assured.

Lin Shuran was still a little uneasy, she called Xu Minghan to her alone, and asked him to look at Xu Mingye recently, don't let him go out to make trouble again, things on this battlefield are not child's play, you can't take it lightly, Xu Minghan agreed.

Before dawn the next day, the door of the inn was slammed from the outside, and the shopkeeper opened the door in a panic, only to see a group of fierce officers and soldiers appear in front of him, and he was so frightened that his whole body trembled.

"Official, what's the matter?" The shopkeeper asked boldly.

"Do you have a doctor in this shop?" The officers and soldiers at the head shouted, and as he spoke, he pushed away the shopkeeper and walked in, and then shouted all the guests in a loud voice, saying that they were looking for a doctor who knew how to heal, and if they concealed it and did not report it, they would be dealt with as a disorder.
