In the west of the county, there is a paper, ink and pen inkstone shop called "Zhibao Zhai", behind which is a remote alley, in the small alley on the side, it is blocked by a few vines, and it is the wall in the corner that painted a moon flower, which should be the one that Chang Facai saw a few days ago, but she did not appear for a few days, and there was no new mark on the wall, which indicates that Ji Yue has had an accident

Or maybe it's for special reasons that she can't be here

He Zao was worried, thought about it, took a piece of white plaster, and wrote a few words: southbound, boutique.

It means that in the next few days, she will set off for the south, and will leave a mark when she meets the He family's boutique.

This county seat was carefully selected by Chi Gonggong, and it is one of the very few counties that does not have a He family shop. Therefore, it also led to the extremely difficult contact between He Zao and Sibao

After coming out of the alley, she went to a small noodle stall nearby, asked for a bowl of lo noodles and a bowl of noodle soup, and sat there and ate slowly.

There were also a few men sitting on the table over there, talking about something quietly.

"I heard there was going to be a war"

He was taken aback

"It is said that the king of Shenjun, who is the most proficient at war in this dynasty, was condemned by the Son of Heaven as a traitor and rebelled against the party, and secretly gave it to the governor of northern Xinjiang, asking him to take down the king of Shenjun, and if there is resistance, he will be killed."

The others were also taken aback and asked, "Where did you hear the news, we didn't hear any news?"

"My uncle goes to the northern Xinjiang side to do the fur business all the year round, and the sources are wide, and the news is spread all over the northern Xinjiang, but it is blocked for our place."

"Then you mean to say that King Shenjun is reversed"

"It should be soon, you don't see that now even the situation in our small county town is becoming serious, those well-informed people have quietly moved to the capital, no matter what, the capital is the safest place at present"

"No wonder there are so few people now, not only here, but also when I came from Jizhou Mansion, too"

"I heard that there are 100,000 elite soldiers under the king of Nashen County, as well as countless hidden guards, countless weapons, and countless money.

This was a little too aggressive, and the others were silent for a while.

After a while, one suddenly asked: "I heard that Princess Shenjun's maiden home is in Huaiqing Mansion, and I don't know what the situation there is really going to be a war.

He Zao's heart tightened violently.

In fact, she had a premonition a long time ago that if there was a war, then her relatives would be the first to suffer

No, she couldn't hesitate any longer, she had to leave immediately

She wants to return to Huaiqing Mansion, even if it is by begging

She lowered her head and ate noodles slowly, but in fact, her ears were listening carefully to the discussion of a few men over there.

After the man finished speaking just now, the man who spoke at the beginning looked around vigilantly and whispered: "Actually, no one can say for sure about this kind of thing, I heard some gossip that the princess of Shenjun and the eldest son of the king of Shenjun have disappeared, and I am afraid that they will be taken away as hostages."

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say"

"Anti-thief is a dead word"

; He waited until those people had finished eating, drank the noodle soup, gave the money, and then went to a pawnshop again and exchanged for a small silver ticket of fifty taels. and all for silver, and some copper coins.

She brought a pair of bracelets, one of which was solid sterling silver and gave it to the Chang family, and the other one was hollow, hiding a few silver tickets inside, these silver tickets, even if Ji Yue didn't say it, but He Zao knew that she got it through improper means.

But fifty taels of silver should be enough for her to go back.

Went out of the city gate unharmed, and came to the place where he had made an appointment with Chang Facai, who had also arrived, and after meeting, the two of them walked back.

Chang Facai is a slightly shrewd but still loyal and honest country man, who was silent for a while, and then said: "I heard something in the county town today."

He Zao glanced at him, and there was a hesitation in the other party's tone: "They all said that there was about to be a war."

It seems that the news has spread to the world. I don't know how Ah Che's side prepared

He Zao knew him very well, he waited patiently for so long, he just didn't want to be called an "anti-thief", he was trying his best to find a more peaceful way to solve the conflict between them and the Son of Heaven

However, the new emperor is an extremely intelligent and narrow-minded person, he can't wait too long and just sits on the throne, so he attacks them one after another, and grabs her and Xiao Baozi, for this battle.

He Zao shook his head slightly, and Chang Facai had already said: "Many families in the county have moved away and moved to the capital, should we also move?"

He Zao looked at him and didn't speak.

Chang Facai's face was slightly embarrassed, scratched the back of his head, and said in a snort: "Mu Niangzi, can you make a suggestion, I see that your background is not ordinary, I am afraid that you know more than our Zhuang family."

He Zao thought about it, and said seriously: "After we go back, let's discuss what to do first."

Chang Facai nodded again and again: "Yes, with my father and my mother, it is really difficult to run so far."

He Zao did not speak.

After returning and closing the gate, Chang Facai told the family about what he had heard in the county seat.

When Zhou heard this, he panicked: "If you really want to fight, it won't hit us, although we are next to Jizhou Mansion here, but it is far away."

"This kind of thing is fighting, maybe I heard that there are more than 100,000 soldiers under the command of the king of Shenjun, and the south is Huaiqing Mansion, Huaiqing Mansion is the maiden home of the princess of Shenjun, if there is a flank attack on both sides, we will definitely be affected here."

Chang Facai also heard a lot of discussions in the vegetable market, so he took them all out.

Zhou hesitated and said: "Then it is safest to go to the capital" but immediately his eyes dimmed: "If you really want to escape, our family has no money."

Their main source of income is the grain harvested every year, and the money earned by the farmers who often get rich and go to work, and the family's savings were all spent after their son's illness last year.

The old man Chang, who had not made a sound, waved his hand: "What to escape, our Zhuang family, relying on the land in front of us, really want to escape, where to beg for a living, to be the one who asks for food, and then who is in this world, we can't care, and the son of heaven will not get along with our little people, so it is better to stay at home safely." ”

Mrs. Chang also nodded: "Stockpile some food, don't go out these days"
