Chapter 563: Entering the mountains!
However, even after knowing the plot of the Grand Princess and Kong Zhirong, Fubao's right eyelid was still twitching.
In other words, the crisis she sensed did not come from the Grand Princess.
The eldest princess, whose moves had been seen through, was indeed not a threat.
So, where does this danger come from?
"Bao, why don't you go to your uncle's place?"
Old Mrs. Xu thought for a moment and decided that since her daughter had sensed the danger, she should avoid it.
The Zhao family has a large number of private soldiers hiding in the mountains and forests.
"Mom, this time, it shouldn't be me!"
Fubao shook his head violently.
Earlier, Princess Yuyan said that the Grand Princess's instructions were to hold all the women and children of the Xu family hostage. So, the danger must be directed at their entire family.
If the eldest princess can set her sights on her father and her brothers, then naturally, this is also possible for other people.
Their family has become very popular nowadays.
After all, as long as they took their whole family hostage, they could threaten the men in the Xu family.
Who could blame the men of the Xu family for displaying such shocking martial prowess? The Second Xu alone had earned a reputation for unparalleled bravery.
He fought a great battle with the Northern Barbarians, single-handedly, and killed two little princes of the Northern Barbarians in succession. In the end, he even captured the Northern Barbarian King alive, completely defeating the Northern Barbarians' full-scale invasion of the Tang Dynasty.
If it weren't for the fear of the relationship between the Xu family and the Xu Mansion in the capital, how could Old Master Xu only be granted the title of Marquis of Wucheng based on the battle of Huangfengkou? How could Second Xu be granted the title of Earl of Yongwu?
Emperor Yongping was unfair in rewarding the Xu family's meritorious service.
"You mean, someone has set their sights on our house?"
Old Madam Xu was also a sensible person. She had been too concerned before and hadn't thought too much about it. Now, after hearing what Fubao said and thinking about what Princess Yuyan had just said, how could Old Madam Xu still not understand what was going on?
"Daughter, then, what do you say we should do?"
"Just hide first!"
Fubao blinked, "Also, I have to quickly write a letter to Dad and Big Brother. We can't stay in the village anymore!"
The world has become a chaotic time.
Her father and brothers have already gotten involved. If they still stay in Lingshui Village, they will be doomed to have no peace, and it will become a hindrance and weakness for them.
Even if there are secret arrangements, as the old saying goes, you can only steal for a thousand days, but you can never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days.
There are definitely quite a few people in the dark who want to attack them.
"That's right, yes, that's how it should be!"
Old Mrs. Xu quickly calmed down and said, "We can't hold your father and his family back. We can't live in the village anymore."
"But it's too far to go to the capital, and the road may not be safe."
"Let's go into the mountains!"
Old Mrs. Xu made the decision immediately.
The small village that King Yan built in the mountains was attacked by wolves, but after some repairs and with enough manpower, they were able to live safely in the mountains.
"Bao, go find your master and tell him about this!"
"I'll send a letter to your great-grandfather and his family to ask for their opinions!"
"By the way, you also have to greet your sisters-in-law's families."
Old Mrs. Xu sighed.
In the past, when Mr. Xu was at home, he was the one who arranged everything. Now that Mr. Xu was not at home, and his three sons were not at home either, she had to take care of the family affairs.
When Old Mrs. Xu began to plan and arrange things in an orderly manner, the village chief Guan Laoqi of Lingshui Village came to visit.
"Seventh Brother, what's going on?"
Seeing Guan Laoqi, Old Lady Xu wondered whether she should just talk to Guan Laoqi. What if those bad guys came to Lingshui Village and couldn't find their people, and started killing people, which would harm the neighbors and villagers in this village.
Before Old Lady Xu could figure it out, she heard Guan Laoqi take a deep breath, lower his voice, and say, "Sister-in-law, I feel like something's not right!"
"I went to town today, and there were a lot more cargo ships at the dock. The boatmen on the ships looked fierce and menacing, and some were even asking about your family!"
"I thought something was wrong, so I rushed back."
After Guan Laoqi said this, Mrs. Xu thought about Fubao's right eyelid twitching and was basically certain that this must be the danger that Fubao sensed.
"Seventh Brother, to be honest, these people might be coming for our family!"
"You see, your brother Xu and his three nephews are not at home. I plan to take my family to the mountains for shelter!"
"Get out of the spotlight first."
"Why don't you go talk to the villagers and ask them to let us go into the mountains together? If those bad guys can't find us in the village, they may not let us go!"
"Yes, yes, we should go into the mountains and take shelter!"
Guan Laoqi slapped his head fiercely and said, "Sister-in-law, I won't say anything more. I'll go get someone right away!"
Lingshui Village was originally built by the ancestors of the Guan family to escape the war. When the Tang Dynasty was founded, the people of Lingshui Village also hid in the mountains.
As the patriarch of the Guan clan, on the day Guan Laoqi took over as the patriarch, the clan elders informed him of the route map for the clan members to take refuge in the mountains during the war years.
Although it was a deep mountain with tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves, as long as they had enough people and brought enough weapons, they were not afraid of those beasts.
While Guan Laoqi was frantically gathering the villagers, Old Lady Xu also quickly contacted his relatives through the people left behind by Old Man Xu. No matter what choice the other party made, they must be notified.
The messenger had not returned yet, but the villagers in Lingshui Village had already completed their preparations for escape.
The efficiency was so high that even Fubao was surprised.
She even wondered if the villagers often conducted such drills before fleeing.
It was obvious that her family prepared it first, but they were not as fast as the villagers.
"Master, aren't you leaving?"
When the villagers started to go into the mountains, Fubao found that Uncle Lu was actually watching the fun leisurely from the side.
Uncle Lu chuckled and said, "Little Fubao, Master, don't be in a hurry. You can go first. Wait until Master finds out who is so cruel and crazy before you leave!"
"Master, please hurry up!"
Although Fubao also wanted to stay and see, when the villagers began to move into the mountains, her right eyelid, which had been twitching constantly, finally calmed down.
This means that as long as the villagers go into the mountains, this danger can be temporarily avoided.
Fubao followed beside Old Lady Xu. Although he had short legs, he walked very steadily.
Princess Yuyan's relocation was a bit more difficult, after all, she had a group of very frail little kids. If Fubao hadn't been there to tease them from time to time, there would have been a lot of children singing along the way!
