Wang Cuihua rummaged through the bedding in her house, preparing to take it out to the yard to air it out.
Zhen Wanwan ran into Wang Cuihua as soon as she entered the door.
She was about to go to Zhen Fugui for help: "Sister-in-law! Has brother sobered up yet?"
"He's awake! He's tidying up inside!"
"Okay! I need to talk to you about something, brother!"
Once inside, Zhen Fugui had already neatly folded the things.
"Big brother, I want to ask you and second brother for a favor."
Zhen Fugui put down what he was holding and walked towards Zhen Wanwan.
"you say!"
Zhen Wanwan handed Madam Fang's letter to Zhen Fuyou.
"Take this letter to the dock and give it to the person in charge of the boats. If he asks what you need, just say you want to hitch a ride to Anqing Prefecture."
The Zhen family all knew that the letter was written by Mrs. Fang to Zhen Wanwan.
He just didn't know why his younger sister suddenly gave it to him and asked him to hand it over to the soldiers guarding the dock.
Zhen Fugui asked, puzzled, "Little sister, has something happened? Why do you suddenly want to leave so early?"
"Sigh! It's a long story, we need to hurry up and leave."
Something really has happened!
Zhen Fugui asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Is there going to be another war?"
I have to say, bro, you're absolutely right!
Although the probability is very small, the risk is still quite high!
Seeing Zhen Wanwan's guilty look, Zhen Fugui broke out in a cold sweat.
He stammered, "This...this can't be true, can it?"
"Sigh," Zhen Wanwan sighed, and shared the news she had received from Qu Huaiyuan last night with Zhen Fugui.
However, Zhen Fugui's expression was somewhat strange after hearing this.
Then, hesitantly, he said, "Little sister, aren't you overthinking this? We're not just a few kilometers away from Xinyang Prefecture!"
"If the Prince of Yang's men have already taken over Leling Prefecture, then we might need to be a little more worried."
Zhen Fugui spoke the last two sentences very softly, as if afraid that Zhen Wanwan would hear them!
Zhen Wanwan was preoccupied with her own thoughts and didn't hear what her older brother said next.
Compared to the war that had yet to begin, Zhen Wanwan was more anxious about the matter of Granny Zhang and Yun'er.
Although she was only giving them money out of kindness, people's hearts are unpredictable. She didn't know if Granny Zhang would try to drag her down with her because of Yun'er.
If their enemies thought they knew about the Zhang family, they would probably kill them all!
She is fearless and can hide in her space if something happens, but what about the others!
They were all with her!
Sigh! Good intentions gone wrong!
I just hope that Granny Zhang and Yun'er are just hiding.
However, setting off as early as possible is more beneficial than harmful to them.
"Big brother..."
"Something's happened! Something terrible has happened!"
Before Zhen Wanwan could finish speaking, Wu Sheng came running in, panting heavily and waddling his fat body.
Oh no! Could it be that Zhang Mama and the others' enemies have caught up with them?
Zhen Wanwan's palms were sweating, and she felt terrible.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh... No... Something's wrong!"
"Mr. Wu, don't rush! Let's rest for a while before we talk!"
Wu Sheng was so tired that he stuck out his tongue, like a lapdog begging for food.
In this environment, Zhen Wanwan actually felt like laughing.
Worried that seeing this would damage Mr. Wu's image, Zhen Wanwan suppressed her smile.
Wu Sheng was extremely anxious. Once he had taken a good breath, he disregarded the rules between men and women and grabbed Zhen Wanwan's arm through her clothes!
"His Majesty...whoosh...has passed away!"
He finished speaking in one breath, then instantly lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground.
What?! The emperor is gone!
Yesterday, Qu Huaiyuan said that the national treasury was empty, and the imperial court was doing everything in its power to support General Xiao in suppressing the rebellion.
But it might take several years before a verdict is reached!
Fighting a war without money or food is just asking to get beaten to a pulp!
Now even the emperor is gone!
The morale of the imperial court is definitely not as high as that of the enemy!
The imperial court has no money, no strength, no fighting spirit, and no leader. What can this empty shell of a country use to compete with others?
Is the Chinese dynasty really going to perish?
Zhen Fugui was unaware of the inside story. As ordinary people, as long as they could farm and support their families, it didn't matter much who became emperor.
To put it bluntly, even if the country were destroyed, King Yang would not kill all the people!
Otherwise, what's the point of him being an empty emperor?
"Mr. Wu! Kyoto is far away from here! Even if we have to observe national mourning, we'll just follow the rules!"
Zhen Fugui couldn't understand why Wu Sheng was so agitated.
"well!"
Wu Sheng sighed heavily, his face full of worry: "Brother Zhen, I haven't finished speaking yet!"
"The Emperor has suddenly passed away, and it would be natural for His Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne, but... but His Highness's maternal family is weak, and each of the other princes is more powerful than him!"
"Nobody wants him to be emperor, and the capital is in complete chaos!"
Wow! This is so exciting! It's like a power struggle among nine princes!
Zhen Wanwan never expected that a scene from a TV drama would come true and happen to her!
It's a pity her script wasn't a palace intrigue drama!
Otherwise, we could at least watch the excitement.
Zhen Fugui was also shocked. How could this be family fighting each other?
There are still a bunch of Northern Hu people and the rebellious Yang King outside!
Instead of uniting to defeat the enemy, these princes are causing internal strife over the position!
Zhen Wanwan felt it was utterly outrageous!
Why is it that one problem after another arises? She just escaped the famine that ate people, and now she has to escape the war!
"Mr. Wu, what about General Xiao and the others now..."
Wu Sheng shook his head. He was so shocked by the news that he had no time to inquire about General Xiao.
Seeing this, Zhen Wanwan became even more anxious.
When will this ever end?!
She can take things from her spatial storage if there's nothing to eat, but if a war breaks out right in front of her, she'll have nowhere to hide!
"Big brother, take this letter and do as I say. I'm going to find second brother and Brother Qu!"
This matter has blown up so much, they need to make some careful plans!
She also needs to stock up on food before prices rise.
If a famine is merely a shortage of water and food in a certain region, then while money can be less for military campaigns, food must never be lacking!
Price increases are an inevitable trend!
"Mr. Wu! I'd like to ask you for a favor..."
On the other side, General Xiao looked at the letter from the capital and felt caught in a dilemma!
The crown prince wanted to ask him to go back and suppress the restless princes, but he was currently engaged in the most intense battle with the Northern Hu people.
If the troops are withdrawn without cause, what will happen to the people?
He clutched his head, throbbing with pain, while the messenger eunuch outside paced anxiously in circles.
"Has the strategist returned?"
The guard said, "The strategist arrived just fifteen minutes ago!"
"Okay! Please have him come over!"
Zhu Yuan traveled back and forth between the two prefectural cities day and night, his heart filled with thoughts of Zhen Wanwan and her two children.
I wonder if those people have handled the things he instructed properly!
"Strategist! The general requests your presence!"
A soldier called out from outside the tent.
"knew!"
Zhu Yuan quickly changed into military attire, turned and left the tent, hurrying towards General Xiao's main tent.
