"I miss them too, but..." His mission wasn't over yet. Liang Shuyi and her daughter were in the Duke's Mansion, so he didn't need to worry about them in the short term, let alone the long term. Tang Chen, on the other hand, didn't know if it was just bad luck or the time of her birth, but she always encountered serious problems at awkward moments.
Tang Chen continued to persuade him, "Yan Zhou didn't let you go back before because he wanted you to take good care of your family. Don't worry, if something serious really happened, do you really think you can get away with your friendship?"
At this point, Chen Xin couldn't help but think of that person, the one who saved him from the abyss and taught him medical skills: "Yes, if it weren't for Madam taking Nianqing and me in, perhaps we would have already..."
Seeing that Chen Xin had started reminiscing, Tang Chen quickly followed his current emotions and said, "So, just go back with peace of mind. If anything happens, we will naturally notify you. Don't make excuses and say you can't leave."
Tang Chen had said so much. Although Chen Xin was worried about her, she really missed her family. "Now that you've said so much, if I don't agree, it seems like I don't trust Brother Li and Brother Mo's abilities. So, I'll go back when there's news."
"Um."
...Tang Chen was frightened for a long time, fearing that the letter would be intercepted along the way, or that something big would happen in Qingliang Valley, but fortunately, everything went well.
After waiting for over a month, he finally received a letter from Qingliang Valley. The letter contained only a few words of greeting, but it was enough to calm Tang Chen's heart.
Although the battle with South Vietnam was still tough, Qingliang Valley was well prepared and lacked nothing. They only needed to wait for some time for the South Vietnamese army to become weak before launching a surprise attack.
After calculating her due date and the various situations mentioned by Shen Xin, Tang Chen decided to leave Qinghe County first, but not return to Qingliang Valley, in order to avoid any unnecessary changes in the future. She wanted to find a secluded place to live for a while, and then go back after the war. Firstly, considering her big belly, she really couldn't travel long distances. Secondly, even if she got to the vicinity of Qingliang Valley, she would not be able to return immediately for a while, and it would be easy for her to be discovered by the South Vietnamese soldiers guarding outside. All in all, at this time, not being by Wang Yanzhou's side was the least burdensome way for her to do it.
After Tang Chen discussed his idea with everyone, everyone agreed, but it was difficult to find a place right now.
Although the Northern Desert was peaceful, and despite Shangguan Bing'er's presence in the marriage alliance, the Liang Kingdom had maintained a wait-and-see attitude since the war between Liang and Nanyue broke out. Elder Shangguan had written numerous letters home, but it seemed to be of no use. The Northern Desert seemed determined to watch the war through to the end. Thus, the plan to move north was rejected. With the war already underway in the south, the battlefield was out of the question.
Tang Chen tilted his head back, his big belly sticking out, scratched his head impatiently, and howled to the sky: "Oh my God, the world is so big, but there is no place for someone like me, Tang!"
Qinghe did think of a place, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed a little inconvenient: "The deep mountains and old forests are okay, but if you have the slightest discomfort, it will be troublesome to deal with it. A small problem may result in the death of two people."
Ouyang Qing said, "North is not an option, south is not an option, and the sparsely populated deep mountains and old forests are not an option. The only options left are west or east."
Li Xinzhai said that when he heard Tang Chen ask Chen Xin to find out about Wang Ruo, he had some ideas: "I suddenly thought of someone, maybe she can help."
"Who? Tell me!"
"Wang Ruo."
Tang Chen was stunned for a moment and said, "...We have only heard her name. To be honest, now I have forgotten what she looks like."
Li Xinzhai reminded him, "Even so, there is still Xihe. Wang Ruo was able to hide her identity to such an extent that even the previous emperor and the current Emperor Gan Zhao were unable to detect her existence. I think the place where she lives must be very secluded."
Tang Chen folded his hands and thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "This method is not completely unfeasible, but we don't know where they are."
Li Xinzhai asked helplessly, "When you separated from Xihe before, didn't she give you any news or tell you where to find her?"
After recalling it over and over again, Tang Chen said with certainty: "This, really doesn't exist."
Mo Yu, who always liked to remain silent during meetings but always offered constructive suggestions at crucial moments, interrupted and said, "In that case, there's another place we can go."
Li Xinzhai looked at Mo Yu with exclamation marks written all over his face: "You mean, take her back?"
Mo Yu smiled and asked, "What do you think of this proposal?"
Li Xinzhai held his forehead and said, "Of course you can, but you have to repair the house now... No, no, no, didn't you say when you came to see me that the house had already been repaired? That's fine, let's just make this a happy decision."
The moment Li Xinzhai looked at Mo Yu, this person not only looked away guiltily, but even whistled suddenly as if to cover up his mistake.
Li Xinzhai slammed the table in anger and said, "Didn't you tell me that everything was fixed when you came out? Didn't you fix it?"
Mo Yu quickly explained: "It was repaired! I just thought it looked ugly, so I took it down again."
Li Xinzhai rubbed his temple and said, "I'm really impressed by you. So where did you place Uncle Li when you sent him there?"
"Of course I put it in your room."
After Tang Chen and the others saw the veins on Li Xinzhai's forehead gradually bulging, they all took a step back and huddled together to crack melon seeds.
Li Xinzhai grabbed Mo Yu's collar and said helplessly: "Brother, can I call you brother..."
Before he could finish his words, Mo Yu responded crisply, "Hey!"
Li Xinzhai thought he was pretty good at managing his facial expressions, but Mo Yu was just plain annoying sometimes. It was one thing for him to jump around all day and night, but he also acted like he was tearing the house apart. He'd do nothing else but stare at the load-bearing walls and beams all day long, as if he had a grudge against these inanimate objects in a past life, constantly climbing up and tearing down the roof, tearing off the tiles, or even just tearing it apart.
Very good, young man, you have successfully attracted my attention: "How dare you agree to this! We are all adults. Can you think and act more maturely in the future?"
Mo Yu said in a cheeky way: "I have always been very mature!"
At this moment, Tang Chen had to put down the melon seeds in his hand and interrupted in a very serious tone: "Oh, really?"
Mo Yu's eyes darkened and he said, "If you interrupt again, don't come to my house."
“Lululu!”
