Ji Mingxue frowned, this was a bit shabby.

But if I don’t have to study, I seem like... I can still hold on.

He swallowed.

"If I don't have to study, it seems..."

Ji Mingxuan's eyes turned red with anger: "Shut up!"

Seeing his usually gentle brother being so angry with him, Ji Mingxue shrank his neck and felt a little guilty.

Even though he was angry, Ji Mingxuan still didn't want to give up easily. They could study well, so why couldn't his eldest brother?

It must be that the way he taught was wrong!

The road was not safe during this period. They encountered several groups of people who wanted to rob them, and they had no idea who they were.

Some are refugees, some are displaced people who want to take advantage of the situation, and some are mountain dwellers.

There are also some people who take advantage of people's sympathy and force the elderly and children to ask for things. If anyone dares to give them a little food, the refugees on the roadside will rush over like crazy.

After several days of killing, no one in the Ji family dared to be kind. Apart from the clan members, everyone else seemed to be out to rob them. Even the officials became secretly alert.

The innocence on the children's faces had faded, and they dared to pick up sharpened wooden sticks and point them at strangers on the street.

Everyone walked cautiously for several days before stepping into Tongzhou.

The moment he saw the stone tablet, Zhang Ziwei was so excited that tears filled his eyes.

Finally, I arrived at where people live, and I finally have a place to stamp the documents in my hand!

Ji Fengshou cried out when he saw the stone tablet, then he opened his arms and rushed over to hug the stone tablet, shouting, "Dad! Mom! I've finally reached a decent place!"

Zhou grabbed his collar and said, "My parents are here, why are you yelling at this stone?"

Zhang Ziwei also excitedly banged the gongs and drums. "Everyone, hurry up! We'll reach Tongzhou in another twenty miles. It's crowded and lively there. Let's rest there for two days! Now speed up! We'll enter Tongzhou tonight!"

"Okay!"

A group of people happily agreed.

Zhang Ziwei ignored the couple who were muttering over there, and waved his hand with a radiant look, "Go into the city!"

There were sparks and lightning all along the way, and no one suggested stopping even though the soles of their feet were smoking. They walked all the way to the city gate.

But when he saw that there were twice as many guards at the city gate and the refugees gathered outside the city, his heart suddenly tightened.

"Oh my god! With so many refugees, there won't be any accidents when entering the city, right?"

"Ancestors, please bless us! Please bless us! We must enter the city safely!"

Zhou put her parents-in-law's bag behind her and carried it in front of her. She looked at her family and comforted them, "It's okay. Others may not know what's going on, but we have our parents watching over us all the way, so we won't suffer any harm!"

Hu couldn't help but look at the bundle in Zhou's arms, praying silently in her heart: It must be like what my sister-in-law said!

Ji Fengshou chanted to his parents' corpses, "Dad, Mom! I'm your most beloved youngest son. You surely can't bear to see me suffer, right? You must bless our entire family! When we settle down, I promise to find you two a good feng shui site! I'll make your graves comfortable and I'll burn plenty of paper for you so you can live a respectable life in the underworld!"

Ji Changying was speechless after hearing this.

This empty promise has been made.

Such a scene obviously opened up the minds of all the members of the Ji family.

Speaking of our ancestors, isn’t this already in front of us?

Zhou was suddenly met with countless eager gazes.

When Mr. Huang saw the city gate of Tongzhou and the address left by Ji Changying, he took Xie Siheng and left first.

Zhang Ziwei led such a large group of people walking on the official road, which soon attracted the attention of the guards at the city gate.

Zhang Ziwei was organizing the team when someone came to him.

"What are you doing?" A team of ten guards came over and looked at them warily.

Zhang Ziwei hurriedly took out his official documents and began to explain, "Everyone, we are all colleagues. I am a messenger from the capital, ordered to escort the Ji clan to Liangzhou. Our original route was hit by a flood, making it impassable, so we had to take a detour to Tongzhou. Please excuse me."

"Just wait!"

The guard was illiterate, so he took the document and went to find Hu Cao, who was sitting at the side of the city gate.

After checking it, the other party brought people over to check the number of people.

Zhang Ziwei and Wang Lin smiled at them and "tended" them well before they paid the money and were let in.

As soon as they entered the gate of Tongzhou City, the bustling and prosperous streets inside suddenly pulled the group of people back from "survival in the wild" to normal life.

The clan leader was in tears. "Ms. Zhou, make sure your parents-in-law don't get bumped into by others. We still have to rely on them for protection along the way!"

Zhou looked around cautiously: "Don't worry, my parents-in-law are in my hands!"

This was also Zhang Ziwei's first time in Tongzhou, and he was a little hesitant about where to stay.

He simply took his men straight to the government office, thinking that it was difficult to make money now, so he might as well take his men and live in the government office jail. This way he could save some money, and he wouldn't have to worry about how to ask for money.

Tongzhou has a large population and ranks first in annual grain production. The official roads are wider and smoother than those in other places, and businessmen like to come here to buy and sell goods when they have nothing to do.

So this place is much more lively and prosperous than other places. There are countless snack stalls on the street. You can smell the food and swallow your saliva all the way here.

The ground is paved with bluestone slabs, which looks neat and clean.

Zhang Ziwei asked all the way to the county government gate.
