"We have to take the remaining half with us. We need food for the people and horses along the way."
"good!"
Chen Dan agreed immediately. The Shen family had actually collected almost everything they needed to, and all that was left was to notify the servants. The Shen family was kind, and when they heard they were leaving, most of the servants chose to follow them. The rest received severance pay and returned home.
Chen Dan didn't ask the purpose of this trip. He knew the original owner's rise to power better than anyone else.
In this life, the son-in-law has no grudges against them, and the daughter may be able to become a mother of the country!
Shen Dan was excited.
…………
"Brother, Uncle Shen and the others?" Ke Hongda was a little confused. Why was this different from what they had agreed on?
An Jingzhi called Ke Hongda to a place and explained separately, "My father-in-law has thought it through and decided to leave with us. This is good, so the brothers don't have to risk going back to pick him up."
"How do I explain this to the rest of my brothers?"
Originally they had agreed to cooperate internally and externally, but now Shen Bofu was about to leave with them...
An Jingzhi smiled and said, "Everyone is gathered here. Let's go out first without saying anything."
As night fell, dark clouds obscured the moonlight.
Even if a group of people make a small movement, they will still make some noise, but fortunately the fight was going on fiercely in front and no one paid attention to this place.
Finally, we got out of Kaiye County safely.
They walked without stopping until they reached a dense forest on the mountain, then they stopped and looked back.
Kaiye County was already ablaze with flames, sounds of fighting, shouting...
Ge Sanniang's face turned pale. If she hadn't come out in time, her whole family would have been gone...
Chen Dan squinted his eyes and looked around. Half of the food had been spent. Before leaving, he also spread the news that Kaiye County could not be defended. He didn't know how many people could survive.
Shen Xianyi's right hand tightly grasped An Jingzhi's sleeve, and his lips were tightly pursed.
"Husband, is Kaiye County gone just like that?"
An Jingzhi patted her arm to comfort her.
"As long as our family members are alive, that's all that matters."
Shen Xianyi looked at her father, then at her husband, and her expression suddenly relaxed, “Yes, as long as our family is alive.”
"Brother, Kaiye County is gone, so should we go back and cooperate with the outside forces?" Bian Tianlei asked.
Ge Sanniang rolled her eyes at him. This idiot hadn't reacted yet.
I'm afraid An Jingzhi had already anticipated this scene, which is why he asked them to bring their relatives out early.
"Yes, brother, are we still going?" Shi Ziming also asked.
Ge Sanniang: It seems there is more than one stupid person.
Ke Hongda said, "You are stupid. The city is gone, why would we go back to cooperate with the outside forces? Now even the inside is gone. If we go now, wouldn't that be suicide?"
Bian Tianlei was somewhat bewildered. "Brother, Kaiye County is gone, and my Sanniang Food Store is gone too. What are we going to do in the future?"
This question expresses the thoughts of many people.
Everyone is counting on An Jingzhi to make the decision.
"Don't worry, everyone. I have an idea. It's too dangerous to travel at night. Let's rest here for one night and set off tomorrow morning. Let's go to Jizhou Prefecture."
"Jizhou is good. It's a big city and will definitely not be invaded by the chaotic army."
"Jizhou? It's not far from us. We can get there in ten days."
"Then how will we live in Jizhou?"
An Jingzhi called several brothers to his side.
"Go to Jizhou. Do you have any ideas?"
Bian Tianlei shook his head and said, "I'll go wherever my brother goes." At worst, he could go to Jizhou and open another Sanniang Food Shop.
Shi Ziming said, "Me too."
Ke Hongda immediately said: "I will follow big brother!" The world is not at peace, only by following a loyal and righteous person like big brother can you live longer!
He used to think that things like fighting and massacring cities were far away from him, but the flames that shot up into the sky burned away any hope in his heart.
An Jingzhi's eyes swept across the faces of his brothers one by one, and he felt satisfied.
"Since you have all decided to follow me, then no matter what decision I make in the future, you must support me, including rebellion."
The three of them were shocked.
Bian Tianlei: "Brother...rebel...I don't know how to do that."
Shi Ziming nodded sullenly, "Okay!"
Ke Hongda was furious and gritted his teeth, "Brother! I support you!"
This time, the eldest brother did not abandon them to escape alone. He also asked Uncle Shen to distribute all the food to their family. He could not be a heartless person.
There was a fire burning in front of Chen Dan and his daughter, and the firewood was crackling.
“Dad, it seems that the trade route in Jizhou has been cut off for some time.” Shen Xianyi hesitated.
This proves that the place is no longer peaceful. The worst possibility is that the place has been occupied by thieves.
Of course, Shen Dan knew that Jizhou was already in the hands of Lou Sanma.
The good son-in-law relied on Lou Sanma to accumulate a lot of soldiers and horses, which is why he was taken in one after another.
But he couldn't say that his good son-in-law's luck could not be ruined by him.
"Dad believes in Jingzhi. Troubled times are coming, and our lives and ours depend on him."
He whispered, "Even if it means rebellion, Dad will fully support it."
Shen Xianyi said in surprise: “Dad.”
The only answer she got was Shen Dan's determined eyes.
The sun was scorching and everyone was exhausted and tired.
The group had been walking on the official road for eight days, and they had encountered many groups of refugees, large and small, along the way.
Fortunately, they had a lot of weapons on them, and even the families of Bian Tianlei and his subordinates had farm tools and weapons. Although there was food on the carts, no one dared to rob them.
There wasn't much food stored at home these days, so when we came, everyone took whatever they could.
