Chapter 276
Sang Lan'er's expression changed slightly, and her fingers clenched tightly: "Then what do you want?"
"Kill the fish? Or kill us all?"
As soon as she said that, everyone else in the room, including Xiao Hei who had come to protect her, became nervous.
The atmosphere in the room instantly became tense, as if swords were about to be drawn.
Fan Xiaoxiao chuckled softly: "What are you doing?"
"If I really wanted to break off relations like this, why would I have come to see you?"
"Wouldn't it be safer to lead everyone directly, which would be detrimental to you?"
Sang Lan'er and the others exchanged glances and relaxed a little.
After a pause, Sang Lan'er asked, "So what do you want to do?"
Before Fan Xiaoxiao could speak, the former Tianshan Sect disciple who had just clashed with Sang Lan'er stepped forward and said, "Enough with the nonsense!"
"You were the one who told us to leave, but now you're not letting us go!"
"Contradictory!" she said coldly to Sang Lan'er. "I told you she couldn't be trusted, but you believed her!"
"Why don't we kidnap her and leave here to find our senior brother?"
Fan Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat; no wonder they had been arguing just now.
So it's because of whether or not to forcibly leave Tianshan Village?
"I said no!" Sang Lan'er raised her hand to block the person's way.
Xiao Hei behind Fan Xiaoxiao had already entered a defensive posture.
A battle between the two sides seemed imminent.
The one who seemed the most composed was actually Fan Xiaoxiao.
Sang Lan'er looked at her face and frowned slightly: "Aren't you afraid?"
She looked up at Xiao Hei behind Fan Xiaoxiao and said, "With so many of us, and that strong man behind you, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave easily today."
"What am I afraid of?" Fan Xiaoxiao was actually a little flustered at this moment. Sang Lan'er was right.
But she had seen big events before.
Back then, when I led people to negotiate business with the royal envoys of the Northern Barbarians of Tianshan, the situation was far larger than what I have now in my own territory.
Fan Xiaoxiao put her hands behind her back and raised her chin: "You're not stupid, you naturally know that there are many traps outside Tianshan Village."
"Furthermore, we frequently change the locations of traps and set new ones. So even if you've walked the same path before, you might not be able to get out as usual now."
This is for those who are willing to take risks.
She glanced at their expressions and found that it was quite effective.
But Fan Xiaoxiao hadn't finished speaking: "There's more."
"Even if you capture me, you can't capture Xiao Hei. Do you think my Tianshan Village is incapable of capturing all of you again?"
"Don't forget, the imperial army outside is still eyeing us covetously."
"..."
The few members of the Tianshan Sect, after weighing the pros and cons, ultimately remained silent.
Seeing this, Fan Xiaoxiao walked up to Sang Lan'er with a smile and said, "I wasn't lying when I said I would let you leave."
"The Tianshan Sect no longer exists today."
"But we received news that our senior brother Xiahou and most of the sect's disciples have gone to Qingzhou."
"Qingzhou?" Sang Lan'er and the others were present at the time, but they were not clear about the exact location.
"Hmm." Fan Xiaoxiao said, "You need to take Sang Yu'er with you. I'm not comfortable letting her out, and I'm even more worried about your safety."
"You know, he might let you, his older sister, go, but he might not be so sure about others."
Sang Lan'er's expression was somewhat complicated, but she had to admit that Fan Xiaoxiao was right.
She couldn't disregard the safety of her fellow disciples, both morally and logically.
"Therefore, I want to take you with me to Qingzhou and personally hand you over to Xiahou."
Xiahou is the senior disciple of the Tianshan Sect. In any case, the people of the Tianshan Sect can rest assured that he will handle the matter.
Even if we take a step back and say that...
Tianshan Village is ultimately just a village that does business.
The biggest threat to that fake emperor in the court is only her, Fan Xiaoxiao.
Even if Sang Yuer escapes after going to Qingzhou, or someone else runs away, the first person to be mentioned in the news will be Fan Xiaoxiao in Qingzhou.
Tianshan Village is much safer now.
"good."
This time, Sang Lan'er and the others agreed without much hesitation.
After all, they don't have any better options right now.
On the contrary, having many fellow disciples in Qingzhou is actually a good thing.
...
...
The people in Tianshan Village didn't tidy up for long.
Two days later.
I took everything I was supposed to take.
I originally wanted to leave Xiao Hei, whom I trusted the most, to manage things here, but because of Sang Yuer, this ticking time bomb.
Moreover, although Sang Lan'er and the others cooperated, they clearly did not integrate with them.
One must always be wary of others, and only with Xiao Hei by one's side can one feel at ease.
So after much consideration...
Ganda was left to manage the horse business here, while the Guyue Sect member who raised snow eagles was kept in charge.
This way, even if there are things that cannot be resolved temporarily, it will be easier to communicate with the outside world.
As for General Yu's veterans, they will definitely be taken away.
There were 10 horses in total. One of them was pregnant and they wanted to keep it to breed, so they kept one male for stud.
The remaining eight horses were taken away.
Although only two horses remain, spring has already arrived.
With the imperial army gone to other battlefields, business here can finally pick up and go.
The skilled craftsmen all took them away.
Only a small number of people who lacked the skills or did not want to leave stayed here to do sewing and salt selling.
Fan Xiaoxiao took half of the Guyue Sect's experts with her.
As she left, she couldn't help but look back one last time.
They managed to avoid the war and hide here for so long.
It was truly a good time, but I'm afraid the days to come won't be as carefree as they are now.
"Miss Xiao, let's hurry up and go." Xiao Hei reminded, "The weather here can change in an instant. We have to cross several mountains to find a place where we can barely find a foothold."
"Mm." Fan Xiaoxiao nodded.
When he turned around again, there was a hint of determination in his eyes.
"Once we get to Qingzhou, let's go all out and make a big splash!"
"Okay!" Not only Xiao Hei, but everyone else smiled when they heard this.
Especially Master Lu.
Life in the snow-capped mountains is relaxed, but it's impossible to establish a good workshop.
...
...
There are many people in the group.
In order to avoid being discovered by the imperial court.
Fan Xiaoxiao and her group almost never stay in towns.
After traveling along the Tianshan Mountains for a month...
There was no sign of mountains ahead at all.
The land is flat and level.
Fan Xiaoxiao opened the map and looked at it.
It was truly unavoidable.
To get to Qingzhou, you have to cross a prefecture.
The state was in great chaos. Intelligence reports indicated that the imperial court and the rebel army had been fighting for a long time, with neither side gaining an advantage.
Therefore, there was almost no order.
Every craftsman in the team is a treasure.
Most importantly, we've all been together for so long and developed feelings for each other; the death of any of us would make everyone sad.
To be on the safe side, Fan Xiaoxiao had to stop the team.
They sent a member of the Guyue Sect, taking advantage of the small size of the target, to go to Qingzhou first to meet Gu Zhongtai.
