Chapter 325 We Wait for Grandfather
The housekeeper was also very worried, not knowing when the warehouse had been robbed.
Without anyone knowing.
He would check the warehouse and verify the account books every ten days. He had checked the account books a few days ago and there was no problem, so how could there be a shortage?
Murong Xun was so worried that he didn't want to pursue the matter any more. He just asked:
"What's missing?"
The housekeeper said that there was a lot of rice, cloth and some gold bars missing.
Murong Xun waved his hand and said, "Let's go first."
His fiefdom was in Hongzhou, so he should first flee south to his fiefdom.
Murong Xun saw that the luggage was almost packed, but he didn't see Murong Wan and Murong Ming.
"Where are Wan'er and Ming'er?" Murong Xun asked.
A passing maid said, "The princess and the prince are still with the princess."
Murong Xun rubbed his eyebrows.
I wonder what ideas this vicious woman He Yan is instilling in her two children.
She is He Tingfang's daughter, and she doesn't know what she is thinking at this time.
When Murong Xun strode to find He Yan, He Yan was hesitating at the door.
Although she felt relieved when she knew her father was not dead, she was still afraid when she thought about the Hu people trying to invade the capital.
Those tricks and methods used in the harem are of no use at all in military and national affairs.
He Yan hasn't made a decision yet, but Murong Wan has already made a plan.
Murong Wan stood in front of the door, refusing to budge.
"Mom, we can't leave."
"We will stay here and wait for Grandfather. Since he has sent a letter of persuasion to Chang'an, he must have a way to save us."
Murong Wan was very sure.
Everyone in the He family was beheaded. My third uncle has been missing for several years. My grandfather now has only one daughter, my mother, and only two grandsons, her and Murong Ming. He will definitely find a way to protect them.
"Mother, brother, even if we escape Chang'an, it will only bring us temporary peace. If the Tiele Khans march south to hunt down the royal family, and Father doesn't have military power, who will protect us?"
"We can only stay in Chang'an."
Murong Wan didn't sleep all night last night and has thought it through clearly.
He Yan was surprised to hear her daughter say this and realized that she had grown up a lot this year.
She had been so confused by the unexpected events that happened one after another that she couldn't calm down and think carefully.
Now that I hear my daughter say this, I think it is indeed feasible.
Others are afraid of their father, but she is not afraid, she is her father's only daughter now
Murong Ming's lips turned pale, and he was very scared:
"Murong Wan, you have to understand. These are the Hu people! What if Grandfather was also captured by them? What if Grandfather can't protect us?"
Murong Wan said bluntly: "Grandfather is not as stupid as you."
The two siblings are about to quarrel again.
"Don't you want to leave?" Murong Xun's voice came from the gate of the courtyard.
He heard a few conversations in the courtyard and said anxiously:
"Wan'er, do you think those barbarian people who eat raw meat and drink blood are as easy to talk to as the people from the Central Plains?"
"They can betray us at any time and go back on their word. Who knows if they'll go on a killing spree after entering Beijing?"
"So many people in the capital hate He Tingfang. If you don't leave, someone will definitely come and take you hostage to trade with He Tingfang, or even..."
Murong Xun was so anxious that his face turned red.
These are the children who grew up by his side, so naturally he has feelings for them.
However, when He Yan, her mother and her two children in the courtyard saw Murong Xun in such a state of panic, their eyes were cold.
Ever since they heard Murong Xun's words in Tingyuxuan last time, their relationship with Murong Xun has become much more distant.
Murong Xun: "Wan'er, you are the smartest, you should listen to your father."
Murong Wan turned her eyes away and didn't look at Murong Xun.
If Dayu is gone, she will no longer be a princess.
The king wanted to give everything he had to Su Zhizhi, so she would have nothing.
She couldn't trust her father and couldn't count on him.
This time, she only believed in her own decision.
Even if there was danger, she was determined to wait for her grandfather to come.
Seeing that it was getting late, Murong Xun gritted his teeth and wanted to send someone to force the children into the car.
But at this time, the Minister of Revenue Fu Qian rushed into the palace with a group of people, and the guards could not stop them for a while.
Fu Qian ordered his men to capture two servants to lead the way and went straight to He Yan's yard.
As soon as he saw the confrontation between Murong Xun's family, he could guess what had happened without asking.
"Is the prince leaving Beijing?"
Fu Qian smiled and said, "In my humble opinion, it would be better for the princess to stay in the capital. If the princess wishes to stay in the capital, I will do my utmost to ensure her safety and help her reunite with Lord He."
Since he decided to stay and take a gamble, he naturally had to do He Tingfang a favor. It would be best if he could save his only remaining daughter from the chaos.
"mother."
"mother."
Murong Wan and Murong Ming looked at He Yan at the same time.
He Yan glanced at Murong Xun coldly:
"You are not thinking about us, mother and son. If you want to leave, go by yourself."
Seeing this scene, Murong Xun realized that it was impossible to change their minds.
He knew what Fu Qian was planning, and he glared at him:
"If you can't protect them, you'll be in trouble with He Tingfang!"
Fu Qian's smile remained unchanged:
"Your Highness, please don't worry about that. It's getting dark, so Your Highness should set off early."
Murong Xun took one last look at Murong Ming and his sister, waved his sleeves, and left angrily.
He Yan looked at Murong Xun's resolute figure as he left, and her eyes turned red as she sneered.
That's all.
The bad karma of this life should be broken today.
After hurriedly leaving Prince Gong's Mansion, Murong Xun headed straight for the south city gate.
In fact, it would be closer for him to go through the East Gate or the North Gate, but considering that Heishan Mansion was close to the South Gate, he had to go there.
Zhizhi is still in Heishan Prefecture.
He didn't know how Hao Ren adopted Zhizhi, but he guessed that Xuan'er probably entrusted the child to the local villagers when she was dying.
With Hao Ren's slippery personality, Murong Xun believed that Hao Ren would definitely stay in the capital to surrender to the enemy and seek glory.
Murong Xun didn't care whether Hao Ren lived or died, but he wanted to take his daughter away.
Even if Zhizhi hated him, he couldn't just watch Zhizhi suffer in the capital.
Murong Xun's carriage team was stuck on the road before it reached the city gate.
He simply took a few people and rode to the gate of Heishan Mansion on horseback, and asked the guards to knock on the door of Heishan Mansion loudly.
But after knocking for a long time, no one came to open the door.
Aunt Cai from the same alley was also going out with her family.
Aunt Cai shouted to Murong Xun and the others:
"Don't knock. They left yesterday."
Murong Xun turned around and raised his voice:
"Where did you go?"
"How should I know?"
After Aunt Cai finished speaking, she and her family squeezed onto a donkey cart.
The donkey cart rumbled forward, carrying the family.
Aunt Cai's little grandson leaned on his grandmother's arms:
"Grandma, where are we going?"
Aunt Cai hugged her grandson tightly:
"Let's go south, as far away from the north as possible."
The people were in chaos, and the palace could no longer suppress it.
Although Concubine Shu was in control of the overall situation in the harem, she had already seen Dayu's decline.
She took her people to Yuqing Palace and gave the bag full of gold and silver to Taoist Qingyang:
"The Taoist priest can leave the palace now."
"Take Li'er with you and let him practice Taoism with you."
