Chapter 138 Liangzhou Rebellion
After Qiao Qiqi sat back on the bench in front of the carriage, everyone started on their journey.
The next three days were uneventful.
However, the very strange thing is!
They actually saw a lot of refugees starting to walk back, that is, heading towards the capital.
When we arrived at Liangzhou, the weather was no longer so hot!
Moreover, everyone found a lot of water sources along the way.
So why do those refugees still go to the disaster-stricken south?
An Dian and Pei Shaoling, who had just arrived at a dilapidated temple to rest, looked at each other and walked towards the refugees who were also staying in the dilapidated temple.
Maybe they were frightened by the official uniform that An Dian was wearing.
When those people saw An Dian approaching, they quickly covered their heads and said, "Officer, please don't arrest me. I don't want to die!"
"Don't be afraid, I won't catch you!"
An Dian squatted down and whispered to the frightened refugees, "Has something happened in Liangzhou City? Why are you heading south?"
After hearing An Dian's questions, those people realized that the officer in front of them did not seem to be here to arrest them.
"That's right, sir! We are the people living outside Liangzhou City."
One of the ragged old men said in a deep voice, "Liangzhou City is in chaos right now! Da Gan learned that a natural disaster had struck Dayong, so he sent his troops, and they're now at the gates!"
An Dian frowned slightly, "So that means Hanzhou City has also been lost, right?"
"That's not the case! I heard that Hanzhou City is surrounded by mountains, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. That's why Da Gan didn't attack Hanzhou City directly, but instead took a detour and went straight to our Liangzhou City!"
The old man sighed and glanced at the Zhao family members wearing handcuffs and shackles. "Are you all planning to go to the exile group in Hanzhou? I suggest you don't go to Liangzhou. There is no way through there!"
"Okay, thank you, old man!"
After getting the answer he wanted, An Dian handed two buns from his arms to the old man.
Then he turned around and returned to Pei Shaoling.
At this moment, Pei Shaoling had already heard the old man's words and was thinking about it.
Liangzhou City was originally Dayong’s second line of defense. Now the people of Dagan have crossed Hanzhou City and directly attacked Liangzhou.
It seems that someone leaked Dayong's defense map to Dagan.
I guess this Liangzhou city can’t be defended!
Qiao Qiqi also frowned.
She looked at Qin Lao Er and said, "Now that Liangzhou City is like this, should we still go?"
"Of course we have to go! Without the customs documents from Liangzhou, it would be useless for us to go to Hanzhou City! Then you will still be exiled prisoners."
Qin Lao Er frowned, "This is the law of Dayong. Why don't you just find a place to settle down?"
"No! I can't let my mother and the others bear the crime of being criminals before I return to the capital. Besides, it's actually safer in Hanzhou City."
Hanzhou City is not far from the dark forest he had arranged before. He will then return to the capital to deal with Prince Yi.
My mother and my wife also have someone to protect them!
"But if we go to Liangzhou City now, we will definitely become cannon fodder in the war between the two countries! Then no one will be able to reach Hanzhou City!"
"Okay, I understand! How far are we from Liangzhou City now?"
Pei Shaoling pondered for a moment and asked softly.
"If we continue at this pace, we'll be able to enter the city the day after tomorrow."
Qin Lao Er, the official, calculated and said, "If we hurry up, we can do it tomorrow morning!"
"Well, in that case, let's eat something first and then continue on our way!"
Pei Shaoling looked around the dilapidated temple and said to everyone.
"Ah? Really? We still have to go to Liangzhou City? People will die!"
The officer Qin Laoer wailed.
"Yes, everyone. Right now, the Sima of Liangzhou City is conscripting men everywhere, preparing for a decisive battle with Da Gan. If you go, you will only be conscripted!"
When the old man heard that everyone was going to Liangzhou City, he hurriedly tried to dissuade them.
"Thank you, old man. We know what's going on!"
Pei Shaoling glanced at the old man and said no more.
Mrs. Zhou brought up the meal she had prepared in the backyard of the dilapidated temple and said, "It's time to eat!"
Because they were in a hurry, Mrs. Zhou only prepared two dishes, one soup, and a pot of rice.
The refugees swallowed their saliva secretly when they saw that the Pei family’s rations were so abundant.
However, Qiao Qiqi just glanced at them.
I just sent a secret call to question him and gave him two meat buns.
Since you and the other party are strangers to each other, there is no need to be too kind.
Since they were able to escape, they must have their own ways of survival.
Sure enough, when they saw that the people here did not want to share their food, the refugees took out some flatbreads, steamed buns and the like from their packages and started eating.
After eating, everyone did not rest but continued on their journey.
Because the weather was not as hot as before, and traveling by car, it was not so tiring.
During these few days of walking, the injuries of An Lei and others gradually recovered!
An hour before dark, Pei Shaoling drove the carriage off the official road and headed towards a small path on the side.
Although An Dian, the coachman, and Qin Laoer, the official, were puzzled, they did not ask any further questions.
Follow him down the inconspicuous path.
After walking for more than half an hour, they finally stopped in a deserted village.
"Owner, what are we doing here?"
An Lei jumped off the carriage and asked Pei Shaoling softly.
"You and An Dian will go to Liangzhou City with me tonight. The others will wait here!"
Pei Shaoling whispered to Dark Thunder and Dark Lightning.
Then, he looked at the people who had gotten off the bus and said, "Let's rest in this village tonight and set off again tomorrow."
Qiao Qiqi on the side understood instantly.
Pei Shaoling is planning to go to Liangzhou City alone to bring back the customs clearance documents!
As for why we had to take the official road to this deserted village, it was probably because the dilapidated temple was crowded with people and not very safe!
"I'll go with you!"
Qiao Qiqi took a step forward and whispered to Pei Shaoling.
"Liangzhou City is too dangerous right now, you stay here and guard Mother and the others!"
Pei Shaoling shook his head. He didn't want Qiao Qiqi to be in danger.
"You were praising my martial arts progress a few days ago! I want to join you! Besides, Mom and the others still have Shaoan and Shaoming. And Anxuan is here too, right? With them here, Mom will be fine!"
Qiao Qiqi insisted.
"Alright! In that case, An Dian will stay behind, and the three of us will go!"
Pei Shaoling was no match for Qiao Qiqi and had no choice but to compromise.
Qiao Qiqi finally smiled happily, "Then I'll go find a house for Mom and the others to stay in."
After saying that, she followed An Lei and the others to find a place to live.
That night, after everyone had dinner, two horses galloped towards Liangzhou City!
