They went down the mountain very quickly, and Xia Manni saw that almost everyone had caught a bandit.
My goodness, there were more than a hundred people going up the mountain, and every one of them was a bandit coming down.
Xia Manni couldn't help but sigh, it turns out there really are people hiding in such a mountain.
Aren’t they afraid that the mountain will catch fire?
There was no time to think about it, because there was another burst of noisy talking at the foot of the mountain.
It seems that if you don't obey, you will be beaten.
The man called the general kept giving a speech, saying that he should submit to the prince.
With such a chaotic court and such a tragic natural disaster, is there any way for the common people to survive?
The lecture lasted for a quarter of an hour. Xia Manni couldn't help but feel contempt. The general must be a boastful person.
According to what he said, this prince will definitely become emperor.
As we were talking, it seemed like something contradicted us.
I only heard him shouting, "Aren't you the boss?"
The man whispered in defense, but it was unclear.
"Go search for me again."
The general became furious again.
"General, time is running out. Most people are here now. It will be difficult for him to achieve anything if he is left alone."
The counselor beside the general gave him advice.
Xia Manni kept a close eye on the situation below, as she was worried that these people would come back to search again.
No matter how safe the tree is, you can't stay here forever.
The general at the foot of the mountain cursed loudly.
Soon after, there was a familiar vibration sound.
Xia Manni knew that these people had left.
There is a high probability that they will not come back because they must have some mission.
The people in the trees held their breath and waited to see when the sound of horses would stop.
After about a quarter of an hour, the foot of the mountain finally became quiet.
The group headed south.
The south is the direction from which Xia Manni and the others came.
Are they planning to go all the way south and then north to seize power?
Xia Manni thought about it and felt that this was a possibility.
Then it was indeed right for them to go north.
I just don’t know whether Jin’an, the current center of power, is safe.
It seems that we can only take one step at a time.
Xia Manni didn't say anything, but quietly jumped down from the tree, then waved to each person in turn, asking them to climb down.
Potato was held in Erwa's arms, and as soon as Erwa let go, it quickly jumped to Xia Manni's feet.
"Are you okay?"
Xia Manni looked at Liu Miaoyan's face, which was still very pale, and asked with concern.
"Miss Xia, I think I have to go."
Xia Manni didn't expect Liu Miaoyan to leave so soon. She thought it might be related to that team.
Xia Manni took out the map. Now that the sun had begun to show its face, its "battlefield" had begun.
"Look, this is the capital city you mentioned. It's not far away, but you two still have to be careful."
In fact, Xia Manni did not agree with the two of them leaving now. It seemed that the world outside was more chaotic than ordinary people imagined.
She looked at Xiaohong, and saw Xiaohong nodding firmly.
I think they both might have their own reasons for leaving.
"Miss Xia, you must take care of yourselves too. Just now... you heard what they said. The princes and nobles are all fighting for power. You must hide if you can."
Xia Manni nodded and continued, "Then we'll meet again later."
However, Xia Manni knew very well that there was almost no chance for the two of them to meet.
A delicate young lady from a wealthy family, although a little narrow-minded, is ultimately simpler.
How could she, a widow with children, have any connection with others?
What's more, the provincial capital is far away from Jin'an.
Liu Miaoyan didn't expect Xia Manni to say goodbye so straightforwardly.
She didn't expect that her separation from them would be so sudden. If possible, she also wanted to go to Jin'an with Xia Manni.
But she knew she couldn't.
It's not just about the wood, her father, her brother, and even their home may not be safe.
"Miss Xia, this is my token of love. You can find me when you get to Jin'an."
What?
Xia Manni understood a little bit. It turned out that Miss Liu was returning to Jin'an from the provincial capital.
However, judging from her expression, Xia Manni did not want to reveal more about her family background.
Xia Manni took the purse with the word "Yan" embroidered on it.
The ancients really liked to keep tokens of their love, and she still had the jade pendant with the word "翊" written on it.
"Thank you, Miss Liu. You are a very kind person, but the world is too chaotic. Not everyone is a good person."
Liu Miaoyan lowered her head embarrassedly, thinking about what she had done before.
She had always thought that Xia Manni was a black-hearted person, but after getting to know her over the past few days, she found out that she was such a sincere person.
"Miss Xia, it should be safer here. Why don't you stay here for a few days?"
Xia Manni nodded. She also felt that it would be better to rest here for a few days. She was mainly worried that other teams would pass by behind.
Xia Manni took them to find a cart and gave Liu Miaoyan some food and fruit.
It was not just for the one or two taels of silver, but also for the water bag that saved her life.
Several people came to the foot of the mountain, where there were still footprints left by the horses.
In some places, there are traces of blood, which looks shocking.
The two said goodbye, and Liu Miaoyan took Xiaohong away.
Xia Manni watched from behind for a while, then turned around and decided to take the children up the mountain to have a look.
At this moment, two people from the south were riding horses towards the north.
Xia Manni didn't have time to hide, but the face of the person riding a horse in front of her that flashed by made her feel somewhat familiar.
“Ah…ah…let go…”
Liu Miaoyan, who had just walked a short distance, was carried onto the horse by the person on the horse in front.
Xia Manni ran with a machete in hand.
"Wait, let her go!"
They couldn't defeat thousands of men, but defeating two men wasn't a problem.
"Mother, mother..."
Behind, the eldest child chased Xia Manni and asked her to stop.
But Xia Manni didn't listen at all, and she didn't realize that Da Wa wanted her to stop.
Liu Miaoyan and others in front did not take any further action.
Everyone stood still, waiting for Xia Manni to run with a machete.
Xia Manni: Why does something seem wrong?
When she ran up to them, the four of them were still standing there.
"Miss Xia, are you okay?"
Liu Miaoyan stepped forward to support Xia Manni, and Xia Manni took the opportunity to pull her to her side.
"What's going on? Do you know this person?"
Otherwise, why didn't Miss Liu run away or shout when she ran up to her?
It's all full of weirdness.
At this time, Da Wa also caught up. He quickly walked up to Xia Manni and tugged at her sleeve.
Then he whispered a few words in Xia Manni's ear.
Xia Manni widened her eyes and looked carefully.
Wow, this is really an acquaintance.
But how did he know Liu Miaoyan?
The man was getting impatient and asked urgently, "Are you going to leave or not?"
