"What?"
"Lan'er, you said...your great-grandfather appeared in your dream?"
Outside Yue Heng Mountain, in a guest room of the inn, four shocked gazes fell on Wei Yunlan at the same time.
"Yes." Wei Yunlan nodded seriously, "My great-grandfather said that our journey will not be peaceful."
"First Mingxuan got lost, then Daddy hit his head, and then Mom became seriously ill... In short, misfortunes kept happening one after another. Before we even reach Beiguan, our family will be torn apart!"
"Hiss." Except for Jiayan and Xiao Jiarong who didn't understand, everyone else in the room took a deep breath.
Gao's expression was the most solemn. "Lan'er, did your great-grandfather remind us how we should deal with this?"
"He didn't say it explicitly." Wei Yunlan shook his head. Just as the atmosphere in the room was heavy, he changed the subject and said, "But he warned us, and he must want us to turn the situation around. I think the best way right now is... to separate from this team!"
"Ah?" This was a possibility that the Wei family had never imagined.
After all, this is not some other team, but an exile team escorting them to the border!
If you leave without permission, wouldn't that be a disregard for the law?
That is a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan!
"Lan'er, there is the Duke's Mansion and your aunt's family in the capital..."
Wei Yunlan had of course considered this, "So we can't just leave. We have to think of a way to make people think this was an accident."
Wei Maolin and Gao looked thoughtful, obviously considering whether this could be accomplished.
Wei Yunlan took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, "Dad, Mom, you have also seen the situation of our team today. Although we are all exiled, the attitude of Jie Guan towards the Liang family is completely different from that towards our other families."
"In times of crisis, they only care about the safety of the Liang family, and they are even willing to drag other families down with them in order to save the lives of the Liang family."
"We must never entrust our lives to a team like this. This time, it was the Feng family that died. Who knows if it won't be us next time?"
After saying this, Wei Maolin's face was complicated. He originally didn't intend to say it out loud to make his family worry more. "Actually, I also took a knife for Lord Liang today."
"What?"
Gao stood up at once. If the children were not there, she would have almost taken Wei Maolin's clothes off. "Where are you hurt?"
"I'm not injured." Wei Maolin hurriedly explained: "Madam, I was wearing the gold-thread soft armor that Lan'er gave me. The knife couldn't cut through the soft armor at all. At most, it just caused bruises."
Fortunately, he had this golden soft armor, otherwise he would have breathed his last like the fourth master of the Feng family.
"I was standing between Lord Feng and Lord Liang at the time. Lord Liang was eager to save his son, so he stepped forward and was exposed to the bandits' knives. I don't know who pushed me from behind, so I was able to block Lord Liang."
Now I think it might have been the officers who pushed them. After all, the three prisoners were wearing wooden shackles and had difficulty moving.
"What exactly did the Liang family commit?" Gao suddenly asked Wei Maolin.
As perceptive as she is, she has already sensed something unusual in these events.
"It is also related to the harem witchcraft case five years ago, but I don't know the details." Wei Maolin replied with a frown.
"Dad, Mom, this is my second concern."
Wei Yunlan took over the conversation and said, "There is something wrong with the Liang family. No matter what they are doing in Beiguan, if we get too close to them, do you think they or the people behind them will take action against us one day to prevent the secret from being leaked?"
The room was silent, this worry was even more terrifying than the first one.
The Liang family had close ties with the court.
No matter who they work for, they can never be separated from the royal family.
Thinking about the royal family's secret methods, the Wei family suddenly felt a chill.
"Lan'er is right. We can't keep this team any longer."
Gao looked at Wei Maolin and Cheng Yue'e, waiting for them to express their opinions.
Wei Maolin frowned and thought, then nodded seriously after a moment.
Cheng Yue'e didn't think too much about it, "I'll listen to my mother."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Jiayan, who was held by her side, followed suit and puffed out his chest, "I listen to my mother!"
Little Jiarong, who was held in his arms, let out an “ah ah” sound.
Wei Mingxuan looked around and asked, "Why don't you ask for my opinion?"
No one really thought of asking, after all, it was a foregone conclusion with four votes passed.
Wei Mingxuan shrugged and said, "Okay, I also think I should listen to my elder sister and mother and leave the current team."
The family reached a consensus, and the next challenge was how to create a situation where they accidentally left the team.
Wei Maolin asked Wei Yunlan to tell him again the details of what his great-grandfather had told him in his dream.
"Mingxuan got separated from us when we were about to leave Liangzhou. The distance between the north and south ends of Liangzhou is only 300 miles. Now we have entered the territory of Liangzhou. It will take at most five or six days to leave Liangzhou and reach Huizhou."
"That means we will encounter refugees within six days at the latest." Wei Maolin never doubted the accuracy of the news. After all, he knew the ability of his wife's grandfather. "The fact that they were able to disperse the people shows how many refugees there are. This is the best opportunity we can take advantage of!"
No one raised any objections, and now there was only one last difficult problem left.
"We can agree on a location in advance and reunite there if we are separated, but how can we ensure the safety of everyone in the family?"
Refugees are not ordinary people. If this problem cannot be solved, all previous ideas will be empty talk.
This was not a problem for Wei Yunlan. She suddenly said, "There is something I haven't had time to tell you."
