"Yeah." Yin Yao responded vaguely.
"It's not peaceful in the north!"
Bingbing sighed, her voice soft but persuasive, "In Linzhou and Xiazhou, in the inner reaches of the Great Wall, rebels are moving everywhere, capturing anyone young and able-bodied and sending them as conscripts. And scholars are their primary target!"
"Why?" Qingluan asked curiously.
"The rebels are all peasants. They capture scholars to work as clerks for them and serve as local officials. But once you become an official for the rebels, it is equivalent to rebellion, which is a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of your family." Bingbing said seriously.

To go to Shuozhou, you must pass through Xinzhou.
Didn't she run away from home just to go to Shuozhou?
But if it is true as the woman said, Xinzhou is full of dangers and the rebels are arresting scholars everywhere, the two of them may be targeted by the scarred man and his men, who are ready to attack them at any time.
She was struggling in her heart.
