Chapter 103: Choosing an Escape Route



It took an hour to walk.

The team stopped at a four-way intersection to take a short rest.

Shen Shuli and Su Yunhai called Gu Canghong, Zhang Shiwen and Li Rui to discuss the next route.

"Everyone, there are three roads that can lead south to Beijing. Please give your opinions and see which road to take."

Su Yunhai took the map and placed it on a large box and spread it out for everyone to see.

This was the first time that Su Yunhai took out the map of Dayong, and everyone present was shocked.

"Brother Dahai, you actually got the Dayong map!"

Zhang Shiwen glanced at Su Yunhai in shock, and then couldn't take his eyes off the map.

The others were also shocked, but they did not ask any questions. They just stared at the map curiously.

Su Yunhai explained with a smug smile on his face, "My daughter found it in a shop in Qingzhou. It's all her credit."

...

...

Several people looked at Shen Shuli in surprise, but Shen Shuli smiled and did not respond.

Zhang Shiwen looked at the map carefully and pointed to a place to explain.

"I used to go to Beijing from Yongzhou for business. This road is the closest to the capital, but the bandits along the way are also the most rampant."

"In the past, when the economy was stable, I would pay a lot of tolls when I took this road, and I became familiar with those bandits."

"But now the world is in chaos, and the appetites of these bandits may be difficult to satisfy. Their behavior will become even more reckless. If there is a better choice, I think it is best not to choose this path."

Su Yunhai nodded when he heard this, and then pointed to two other roads and asked everyone to analyze the road conditions.

"What about these two roads?"

Li Rui had never left Qingzhou and was completely unfamiliar with these roads, so he was unable to express any opinion.

"The farthest I've been is Qingzhou, so I really don't have any valuable information to provide." Li Rui shook his head helplessly.

Gu Canghong had just joined the team and never expected that Boss Su would let him participate in discussing such an important matter.

He was a little hesitant and pursed his lips, not daring to express his opinion.

Zhang Shiwen looked at everyone, thought for a while, and continued explaining.

"The road condition in Qinzhou is the worst. The official road is very narrow and can barely accommodate one and a half horse carriages."

"If you encounter a convoy going the wrong way on the way, you have to find a wide section of road to give way, which is very tiring and a waste of time."

"There are disaster victims running around everywhere now. The roads must be very congested. It may be difficult for our convoy to pass through."

"But once we get past half of this distance, there's a dock over there. We can take the water route, which will be much faster."

"The premise is that the water in Qin River has not dried up and the wharf is still operating normally."

"This last road leads to Dingzhou. The official road needs to go around a big mountain. It is the farthest of the three roads, at least three times as far as the first road. Half of the way needs to be climbed, so it will take a long time."

"Each of the three paths has its own advantages and disadvantages. It depends on how you choose."

After Zhang Shiwen finished speaking, he knew the situation and stopped talking. He was not prepared to express his opinion and just looked at Su Yunhai, waiting for him to make a decision.

Now the team is led by Su Yunhai. All he needs to do is obey orders and give appropriate suggestions, but he must never overstep his boundaries and make decisions.

He still has some sense of propriety.

Li Rui was also thinking about these three paths, and he felt a little troubled because none of them was easy.

Gu Canghong still pursed his lips and wanted to say something several times, but he restrained himself and did not dare to open his mouth.

Shen Shuli saw Gu Canghong's little action, with a smile on her lips, she looked at him and raised her chin, and called him by name: "Gu Canghong, you seem to have something to say?"

Su Yunhai immediately looked at Gu Canghong.

He almost forgot that Gu Canghong was the think tank of the heroine in this book.

No matter what the final result of his opinion is, it will definitely be the best choice.

"Xiao Gu, we are all family. You can say whatever you want without worrying about anything else." Su Yunhai tried hard to force a kind smile.

But the fat on his face was too greasy, which gave people a sense of sinisterness and cunningness.

After seeing this, Gu Canghong couldn't help but look away, not daring to meet his gaze.

Shen Shuli smiled helplessly and shook her head. She had to supervise her father to lose weight and give her back her handsome father who was gentle, elegant and handsome!

Seeing that everyone was encouraging him to speak, Gu Canghong took a few deep breaths to adjust his mentality. He lowered his eyes slightly, not looking at them, and focused his attention on the map.

"My suggestion is to take the Qinzhou route."

"Because my ancestors lived in Qinzhou, my parents would take us back to our hometown in Qinzhou every year, and I am very familiar with that road."

"I know an old road that is a little longer than the official road, but that road is deserted. However, not many people would take that road, so it shouldn't affect our journey."

"Moreover, most of the territory of Dayong is currently suffering from a severe drought, and water resources are an indispensable resource for us."

"The drought will definitely have a significant impact on the Qin River, but the groundwater resources there are definitely more abundant than other places, which is conducive to our replenishment."

"Of course, this is just my idea. You still need to consider carefully what to choose in the end."

Shen Shuli raised her eyebrows slightly.

She had decided to take the Qin River route from the beginning.

After all, this is the path Lin Wanwan will take in the future. She already knows the plot and will naturally take this path.

But in the plot of the book, it was the Gu family who led Lin Wanwan.

Only the Gu family knew where the abandoned old road was.

If they wanted to go that way, it would be a waste of effort if they could not find the old road.

That's why she was testing Gu Canghong to see if he had really surrendered to her.

Shen Shuli was very satisfied with this result.

Su Yunhai saw his daughter's little movements and wondered what she was thinking.

But he knew that his daughter should agree with Gu Canghong's suggestion.

He pretended to think for a while, and finally made the decision: "After careful consideration, I decided to take the Qinzhou route."

"Xiao Gu, once we get there, we'll need your Gu family to help show us the way."

Gu Canghong didn't expect that Boss Su actually listened to his advice, and he felt a mixture of emotions.

He glanced at Shen Shuli secretly, and the tip of his ears turned red unconsciously.

"Don't worry, Uncle Su. I will show you the way when we get there."

Su Yunhai nodded with satisfaction, patted Gu Canghong's thin shoulder, and signaled him to return to the team.

"Okay, everyone, get ready to set off. We'll try to cover another 20 miles before dark!" Su Yunhai shouted to the team.

After putting away the map, Su Yunhai led the team to continue on their journey.

.

The people in Taohua Village didn't know.

They had just left Yamaoka County at noon.

Large forces including the Lin family, Prefect Liu, the Qingzhou Camp and the major aristocratic families in Qingzhou arrived in Shangang County one after another.

The first family to arrive in Yamaoka County was the Lin family.

The Lin family suffered two thefts, plus the theft of grain that they had purchased at great expense, making Lin Wanwan's position in the Lin family precarious.

If the Lin family did not have other industries in Qingzhou.

The brothers Lin Wufeng and Lin Wuchong exchanged a batch of grain from Governor Liu at the fastest speed and at a high price.

Their Lin family may not be able to leave the territory of Qingzhou City.
