Yun Ruoxi's expression was solemn as she slowly uttered two words, "Three years. Furthermore, after the drought, the capital was in chaos, and the battle for the throne among the nine princes sparked a war that lasted ten years. Ultimately, the Crown Prince and Su Lingling emerged victorious, but the war was costly and devastating, and it shook the nation's foundations. The Xin Dynasty lasted only five years before the Western Liang Kingdom seized the opportunity to annex it."
At this point, Yun Ruoxi was afraid that her grandfather might be obsessed with his current noble status, so she hurriedly tried to persuade him, "Grandfather, at any time, staying alive is the most important thing. The book records that the only survivor of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion was my fifth brother. He took refuge with Prince Duan, but was killed in the battle for the throne. Grandfather, you must think clearly. The Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion is in the same situation as the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion. It will eventually be framed by the Crown Prince and Su Lingling, and will not have a good end."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Ruoxi realized that her grandparents were already in tears. "Grandpa, grandma, I was wrong. Don't be sad."
Grandfather stretched out his old hand and casually wiped it across his face, his eyes filled with disappointment: "It seems that Grandfather has placed too much trust in His Majesty. Xixi is right. We must protect ourselves and our family. That is the most important thing."
Just at this moment, the people who had been waiting outside the door pushed the door open and walked in.
The eldest uncle spoke first: "Father, Xixi is absolutely right. Since the world is about to be in chaos, we must prepare as soon as possible."
Yun Ruoxi's father also echoed: "Father, a family alive is better than anything else. Time is running out, let's act quickly."
Although the people following behind did not say anything, their expressions were the same, and they all agreed with what he said.
Grandfather nodded heavily and sighed, "Okay, I thought it was just a matter of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, but I didn't expect it to be a precursor to chaos in the world. Forget it, Grandfather is old and doesn't have the energy to defend those who are not worthy. The most important thing is for our family to live well."
The uncle thought for a moment and suggested, "Then let's make arrangements immediately, secretly collect food and fodder, store it in advance, and then store it in Xixi's magic weapon."
Yun Ruoxi quickly waved her hand to interrupt, "Don't worry, uncle. I specifically asked Master for storage rings. Each one is 100,000 cubic meters in size, which is more than enough to store food and fodder for the 100,000-strong army in the northwest."
As she spoke, a dozen storage rings appeared in her palm. "This black one has the largest storage space. The others also have 10,000 cubic meters. You can use them to store your belongings."
Yun Ruoxi had already made preparations based on the number of people in the Duke of England's mansion, ensuring that everyone had their own exclusive space.
Uncle Yun Qingfeng was pleasantly surprised, but also a little worried: "Xixi, you took out so many storage rings, will your master have any objections?"
Yun Ruoxi smiled and waved her hand: "Master taught me the skills and gave me many treasures, then went on a journey. Before leaving, he specifically told me that I could do with these things as I pleased. I still have quite a few in my storage ring."
Yun Ruoyang, the eldest brother, was filled with curiosity and couldn't help asking, "How can such a small ring hold so many things? What if it's stolen?"
