Chapter 213 How Afraid He Was of Losing Connection with the Household God
Tu Huan accidentally saw Qin Lang's profile picture and pondered for a moment.
"Boss Qin, do you have any suitable gifts for the bride? They're reasonably priced."
Soon, Qin Lang sent a message: "Excuse me, is your reasonable price... around one million, or around ten million?"
Tu Huan: “…”
Tu Huan: "Goodbye, thank you, sorry for disturbing you."
In Bafang Laicai Antique Shop, Qin Lang stared at his phone and couldn't help but tilt his head.
"What's wrong?" The friend opposite looked up at him with a strange expression and asked.
Qin Lang looked up, a little confused. "You said a wealthy lady worth billions asked me what is a moderate price. What is the appropriate standard for moderate prices?"
"Eighteen million?" Lei Feng thought for a moment and said.
"Really?" Qin Lang said with an expression as if to say, "See, I asked the right question."
Lei Feng asked: "And then?"
Qin Lang was a little depressed. He raised his hands and waved them left and right. "He sent me a goodbye emoji."
Lei Feng couldn't help but laugh silently for a long time.
"There are still a few days left, so we can talk about the gifts later." Tu Huan murmured.
She continued to "talk" to Xie Yuchuan.
"What will you do if a large army passes by?" She was very curious about this.
"Xie Yuchuan: It depends on the escort officer's opinion."
"Tu Huan: Xiong Jiushan?"
"Xie Yuchuan: Yes, if Xiong Jiushan wants to be safe, then we can just camp here and wait for the army to arrive before continuing on our journey. If we are in a hurry, we can also find another way around."
"Tu Huan: Qingzhou is very mountainous, and it's dangerous to go around it. Besides, aren't you almost at Panlong Ridge?"
Xie Yuchuan folded his arms and looked at the team behind the baggage cart with a serious expression. He was afraid that the northern border troops could no longer rely on the court.
Going north is even more dangerous. We can only pray that the enemy will rush south at the end of the year. If they have planned for a long time and are well prepared, and the northern barrier Haiyu Pass is lost, the whole city of Laozhou where they are exiled will be massacred.
The army marched south, and Qiuling Pass was completely defenseless.
As he thought about it, he lost his mind for a moment, until the voice of the household god sounded again, and then he replied:
"Xie Yuchuan: I guess Xiong Jiushan won't take any risks."
Tu Huan felt a little relieved when she saw the message on the computer.
She thought of the large amount of supplies she had prepared over the past two days, as well as the self-defense equipment she wanted to prepare for them in order to prevent any accidents while she was away.
She thought it would be better to tell Xie Yuchuan in advance.
The army temporarily heading north will need some time to arrive. In front of the escorted convicts, there are not only a group of government escorts including Xiong Jiushan, but also dozens of fully armed soldiers blocking the way to prevent them from causing trouble.
Some officers who were resting at the end saw this scene and whispered to each other in private.
"You've sent out such a large-scale military operation, are you still worried that a small group of us might cause trouble?"
"Do you think the soldiers eat better than us?" someone asked curiously.
With just one sentence, several people replied to him: "Forget it, their food is not as good as ours. We can go wherever we want and stop whenever we want. Even if things get tough, we can still get some food along the way. They? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, only generals eat well."
"It's really not that good?" Someone who was transferred from the Beijing military camp spoke nearby.
The officials in the government office were very curious and wanted to ask them what their life was like in the barracks.
"It's okay, as long as I get used to it. After all, these are the barracks of the capital, much better than the border troops." As he spoke, he glanced at the prisoners who had stood up to watch the army's passage. When his eyes fell on Xie Yuchuan and the rest of the Xie family, he seemed to remember something and whispered to several of his fellow officers, "I heard that the Xie family army has always been doing well in the northwest."
"Yes, how could we lose so miserably?"
"The Xie family is the dominant force in the northwest. Who dares to say that they are not good enough?" Someone sneered.
The soldier was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "I, a small soldier, don't know about this, but I have a fellow villager who, during the conscription in the northwest, followed the Xie family to fight. However, he later injured his arms and legs and returned home. He was a cripple in the village, but within two years, the Xie family came to the village to take him away and settle him down. Every year, they would send some money and food back home to his parents."
"Is there such a thing?"
"Maybe, but the Xie family is in such a state now." He raised his chin and pointed in the direction of the Xie family. "I guess that fellow villager has no idea how to make a living now."
"Oh..." someone sighed.
But some people also sighed: "There are not many families who can still take care of the wounded soldiers nowadays. If we look at it from this point of view, doesn't the Xie family have its merits?"
"That's exactly what I mean."
Someone snorted, "What's the point of being good? When the city gate is on fire, the fish in the pond are affected. The Xie family has fallen. What good can those who follow the Xie family get? Don't try to think of anything. We all have only one life. Nothing is better than being alive. What's the point of being a noble today and a master tomorrow? If it's good, you can just have some soup. If it's bad, you'll lose your head. Don't take on porcelain work if you don't have the skills."
"I'm saying this now. You all should stay away from the Xie family, or you won't know how you'll die in the future."
Although these words sounded sarcastic, they were not without reason.
Let’s think about it, it’s true.
No matter how wealthy and powerful a family was, they would be confiscated and exiled. After they were sent to Laozhou, that was the end of the Xie family.
Tu Huan generally trusts Xie Yuchuan's judgment.
Since he said Xiong Jiushan would not take risks, there was a 90% chance that the exile team would have to rest in place tonight.
She sent a message to Xie Yuchuan: "Xie Yuchuan, think about it, is there a suitable reason for your Xie family to carry a large amount of supplies with them?"
When Xie Yuchuan heard what the God of Household said, he was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized what the God of Household meant.
But his first thought was not the large amount of supplies, but why did the household god suddenly do this?
Tu Huan saw Xie Yuchuan's question and thought about it.
"In three days, I might have to go somewhere far away and spend a few days there. I see you're almost at Panlong Ridge. If anything gets dangerous, I'm afraid I won't be able to return in time. I'll prepare some self-defense gear for you to ensure you're safe until I return."
In my ears, I could hear the slow whisper of the household god.
Xie Yuchuan couldn't help but be moved. The gods acted as they pleased, so why should he be explained? But this time the family god had to leave for something and had to remind him in advance. Xie Yuchuan's heart was in turmoil and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Ancestors, were you also taken care of by the family gods in this way?
"Xie Yuchuan?"
Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, Tu Huan couldn't help but call him.
Xie Yuchuan hurriedly said, "Just follow your wishes, the family god. Yuheng will find a way to handle other trivial matters."
Seeing Xie Yuchuan's assurance, Tu Huan replied, "Well, that's good. Within three days, when you think the time is right, I'll give you the things. After that, you protect yourself and take good care of your family."
Hearing this, Xie Yuchuan thought for a while, but still couldn't control himself.
"Xie Yuchuan: During the time the Household God was away, if Yuheng had any questions, could he still ask the Household God for advice? Would it be too much of a bother?"
Tu Huan's hand typing on the keyboard suddenly stopped. She couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her nose. She looked at the two lines of words sent by Xie Yuchuan and laughed.
God, how worried must he be about losing contact with her again to ask this question?
She blinked twice and typed a line of assurance in the dialog box.
"Tu Huan: No, you can come to me if you need anything. I'm just far away, and it takes time to get back."
After hearing this, Xie Yuchuan finally felt relieved.
In a moment, an inexplicable thought flashed through my mind.
The family god returned to heaven?
