"Mom, your health..." Su Xiaozhong was very worried.
"It's okay. Xiaoguang has seen it and it's gotten much better. If I don't move my old bones, I'm afraid I won't be able to move them again. I haven't been to your grandparents' family land for a long time." Queen Chen's eyes were filled with nostalgia and remembrance.
Su Xiaozhong thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.
In fact, after cracking the secret of the treasure map, the family began discussing when to dig it out.
Some things will always change if you don't get them in your hands, and you may not be sure whether they will be yours at that time.
They were planning to go after the New Year, when the weather warmed up in spring, but the army's expedition changed their minds. Now, hearing what their grandmother said, they were more determined to plan ahead of schedule.
As members of the royal family, they were not worshipped by the people, but they received favors from the Northwestern Army.
If they hadn't fought desperately against foreign invaders, they wouldn't have had a peaceful life.
They learned a lot about the situation of the Northwestern Army from Su Xinyang. It was a team supported by faith and had been struggling to guard the Northwest. Although they were short of food and clothing and had no military pay, they still struggled to guard the bitter and cold Northwest.
However, these corrupt officials in the court turned a blind eye and thought it was what they should do.
Nothing in this world is supposed to be.
They are all living as human beings for the first time, why should they sacrifice themselves for those parasites in the court?
Su Yin doesn’t think she is great or kind, but at least she has a conscience.
She used to be weak and had no capital to do anything or change anything, but now she has it, and she will not turn a blind eye.
If she just stands by and watches coldly, not getting involved, then what is the difference between her and those parasites in the court? They are all cold-blooded, selfish and ruthless people in essence.
Those people will only feel the pain and regret it when the fire burns their bodies.
But if that time really comes, the entire Dayong Dynasty will be plunged into war and the people will suffer.
If you don't want to be a slave of a conquered nation, you should pay the price instead of just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor.
If everyone wants to reap the fruits of their labor without having to put in any effort, then the people of this dynasty will only accelerate their fate of becoming slaves of a conquered nation.
She used to be a soldier, and she couldn't stand to watch such things.
She wanted to do something for the Northwest Army, but the prerequisite for doing that was to have money.
The treasure map of the previous dynasty solved this worry.
"We'll get ready and set off in two days."
Su Xinguang nodded, "Su Wuming's internal strength has also recovered 70% to 80%, so you will be safer on the road."
When it comes to treasure digging, the fewer people who know about it, the better.
With Su Wuming and Su Yin, they had nothing to fear from the thieves and bandits they met on the road, not to mention the poison and poison powder provided by his younger brother, which were even more powerful weapons.
Safety is guaranteed, and the rest depends on the itinerary.
Before, Su's mother was not planning to go with them, intending to stay at home to take care of her mother-in-law, but now that her grandmother is going, she naturally has to go as well.
Except for Su Wuming and Uncle Huo, no other servants in the house were taken with them.
Su Wuming has high martial arts skills, while Uncle Huo is a coachman who is also skilled in martial arts. He has been in the army for more than ten years and has rich experience in marching and survival in the wild.
Of course, there is one most important reason: Su Yin and the others trust Uncle Huo.
Their explanation to the public was that they were returning to their ancestral land to worship their ancestors. In two months, it would be the New Year, so it would be the right time to go back and worship their ancestors, and it would not arouse anyone's suspicion. As for the family, Wang Ma was in charge.
This time, all the members of the Su family went out, except Su Xinyang and his brother.
Su Xinyang followed Duke Su to the northwest.
Su Xinguang returned to the dark room and took charge of the situation.
He still had a lot of things to do and couldn't go with them. If the affairs of the Dark Chamber were properly handled, he would rush to Qilian Mountain to join them.
The two parties have agreed on a time and place.
Three days later, two carriages drove out of Shangjing City in a low-key manner.
The first carriage was driven by Su Wuming, and Su Xiaozhong, his grandmother, and his mother stayed in the first carriage.
Uncle Huo drove the second carriage, and Su Yin and Su Baozhu stayed in this carriage. There were a lot of luggage in both carriages. Although they were traveling simply, they still had a lot of things to bring with them in winter.
In order to make the grandmother sit comfortably, the carriage was padded with thick table mats and soft backrests, which were both comfortable and warm. The four female relatives were equipped with a hot water bottle in their hands. As for the two drivers Huo Shu and Su Wuming, Su Yin specially asked Wang Ma and Zhang Ma to rush to make eight pairs of gloves with fur inside, which had a good warming effect, so that the hands would not be too cold when driving the carriage in winter.
In order to avoid the wind and snow and the freezing of the nose and face, Xu Niangzi and others helped to rush the work and made a warm hat similar to Lei Feng's hat.
Not only Uncle Huo and Su Wuming have it, but everyone in the Su family has it.
Because of this matter, Su Xiaozhong went to the leather shop and bought several high-quality leathers and some rabbit skins.
In short, keeping warm is the top priority when traveling in winter.
During the two days of preparation, all the children in the family were making these things.
After leaving Shangjing City, all you see is a vast expanse of white. There are very few people walking on the official road. Occasionally you can see people hurrying on their way. Everyone is busy on their way and doesn't want to stay outside any longer.
After driving for about an hour, the carriage stopped to rest.
Su Yin lifted the car curtain, and a cold wind blew in her face, making her shiver.
"Uncle Huo, are you okay?" Su Yin handed the hot water bottle in her hand to Uncle Huo.
Uncle Huo waved his hands again and again, "Miss, I don't need this. There has never been a winter as comfortable as this year. These gloves are really good. My hands are not cold at all when I'm driving. This hat is also good. It keeps my ears and face warm. This is really good. If every soldier in the northwest had this, many fewer people would die every year."
Uncle Huo spoke excitedly, and his eyes could not hide his love for the gloves and Lei Feng cap.
Su Baozhu came out with a cup of tea, "Uncle Huo, have a cup of tea to warm yourself up."
"Thank you, Miss Baozhu."
The two walked to the front car, and Su's mother was taking out cakes from the food box for Queen Chen. Queen Chen waved her hand and gave the cakes to Su Yin and Su Baozhu.
Su Yin ate one piece and left the rest.
Su Baozhu took two pieces of cake and ate them happily.
Ever since Wang Ma and Zhang Ma came into the family, Su Baozhu's body has become visibly plumper, her complexion has become rosy, and her skin has gradually become whiter.
"The cakes made by Aunt Wang are delicious. You can eat them all the time and never get tired of them." Su Baozhu puffed up her lips and kept commenting.
"Baozhu, do you know why our ancestors set the rule that you should not talk while eating or sleeping?" Queen Chen asked.
