t and dinner, for everyone. Whenever they had the chance, they would also forage for wild vegetables to supplement their food supply.The rest of the old men and women were responsible for guarding thi...Mr. Chiang gestured for everyone to calm down, then personally helped the village head who was bowing deeply, and then said, "Everyone knows that the Crown Prince grew up with me, I still have some face..." 。Along the way, I will protect the children as they head south. 。"I can't say for sure that I can keep the children safe, but I can say this: whoever dares to harm them will have to step over my dead body first!" "Mr. Jiang..." "Thank you, Mr. Jiang. From now on, we'll be counting on you to look after the children." 。"Mr. Chiang, please take care of yourself. In the future, let me support you in your old age." 。The villagers could no longer bear it, their eyes all red, they shouted at the boys to kowtow to Mr. Jiang. 。Jia Yin also stepped forward, her expression carrying a hint of guilt. 。This time, in order for the children to evacuate smoothly, she couldn't bear it anymore and resorted to preemptive action, forcing Mr. Jiang to step forward and provide protection. 。In fact, Mr. Chiang could have stayed. Relying on his merit of raising the prince, he could have lived a life of wealth and honor for generations. 。"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry..."Mr. Jiang didn't let Jiayin finish her sentence, smiling and replying, "Your Highness, there's no need for this. These children are also my students, and it is my duty to protect them." 。Besides, I've long wanted to go south and broaden my horizons, and now is a perfect opportunity. 。If the county lord feels sorry for me, then give me some gold and silver. 。I'm so poor. When I got down south and saw all the delicious food, I could only swallow my saliva. It's such a pity. 。As for the silver, how could a prince's foster father be short of money 。Mr. Chiang said this just to lighten the mood. 。But Jia Yin still reached into her bag and pulled out a handful of silver notes, stuffing them all in. 。Mr. Chiang also readily accepted it, then said to the villagers, "You see, I even accepted the hard work fee, so don't be polite." 。

Say goodbye to the children quickly, we're leaving now.

"

The villagers, having been warned, quickly grabbed their children and told them to be careful.

At this time, Li Laosan finally returned with the people from the canteen, and there was another round of greetings. 。On the way, Li Laosan had already said a few words to everyone. 。So, when the village head inquired, Wu Sanniang was the first to say, “We all decided to stay, which is why we came back directly.” 。“ That’s right, village head. We won't cause any more trouble.” 。All the children have moved out now, that's settled! We are left with nothing we can do to help. At least we're good at making a big pot of rice. 。The village head sighed and stopped persuading. 。Jia Yin remembered her brothers and asked her third uncle a few questions. Hearing that they had left with Zheng He, she felt relieved. 。In a little while, all the cars and horses were ready. 。The head of the Liu鏢 gave a bow and said, "County princess, I've discussed this with the village head..." 。This time, I escorted them south by boat. 。Over here at home, we'll have to trouble the princess. 。Jia Yin nodded and replied, "Well, Liu Yang has been married for so long, Uncle should have gone to see him a while ago." 。At this time, the village head herded the children onto the carts, while the rest of the young couples rode horses. 。Everyone was worried about the dangers on the road, and afraid of drawing too much attention. Finally, they only chose ten veterans to protect the convoy. 。Jia Yin and Mu Xu rode on the same horse, leading the way ahead. 。In the dark night, the villagers who stayed behind stood together under the big tree at the entrance of the village, watching the carriages and horses disappear in the distance. No one dared to say goodbye loudly, only silent tears streamed down their faces. 。Even if you cry, wipe your tears quickly for fear of bad luck. 。In the carriage, on horseback, everyone was also tearful. 。Parting was so sudden, yet so heartbreaking. 。But just like dandelions, one day an autumn wind will blow, and the children will leave to plant new roots and grow strong far away…… Because of a long drought, the once abundant Jin Sha River has nearly shrunk by half. 。The deepest part of the river, in a fork called Jiangchizi, barely accommodated three large boats. 。When he received the news, Zheng Feng quietly set off with two large ships, heading for a small dock ten miles east of the military camp wharf. 。The pier is a place where nearby villagers go fishing and temporarily dock their boats on weekdays. 。Now it's convenient for the Li family to withdraw personnel. 。After Zheng Sanjiang moved here, he pretended to be a fisherman for a living, but in reality, he was preparing for this very moment. 。At this moment, he was hiding in the woods near the fishing village, waiting quietly. 。In the barracks, almost all the soldiers were asleep. 。But Li Dayong was clad in full armor, with his men supporting him as he walked out of the room. 。His personal guards stepped forward and asked, "General, why haven't you rested yet Is there something you need to order"Li Dayong nodded and asked, "Tonight, who is on duty along the east bank of the river"The guard pondered for a moment and replied, "Reporting to the General, it's Deputy General Xu Hong." 。"Come, take one hundred brothers with me to change the guard" 。"Li Dayong pressed his voice down and urged, "Try not to alarm outsiders." 。The guard was a little confused, but still obeyed the order. 。Soon, their group left the military camp and headed east. 。Deputy General Xu Hong came from a poor family and wasn't arrogant. He got along well with everyone in the camp. 。He was watering by the river with a yawn, when he suddenly saw Li Dayong coming over. He jumped in surprise and jokingly said: 。"How come the general is here We've been taking our duty very seriously, not slacking off at all" Li Dayong smiled and handed him a jade pendant, saying, "Isn't tomorrow your youngest son's first birthday But there are matters in the palace, so I'm afraid you can't host a banquet to celebrate, right This is a gift for my child on his birthday. Let me take over your watch for half the night. You go home and have a look." 。"Oh my, how could this be!" Xu Hong was so moved that he repeatedly declined. 。He often lives in the barracks, separated from his family, enduring great hardship. 。Last year, he decided to move his wife and children to a village on the west side of the wharf. He would occasionally go back to visit them. 。This time for the youngest son's birthday, his wife had been mentioning it for a long time. He originally planned to take leave tomorrow to go back and celebrate with his child, but the sudden passing of the Empress obviously made those plans go down the drain. 。To his surprise, the general actually remembered. Not only did he give him a birthday present, but he also cleared out half the evening for him. 。Li Dayong patted his shoulder and pushed him gently, "Don't be polite, I couldn't sleep anyway, might as well take a walk around." 。Just go back and rest assured, come back before breakfast, don't delay important business. 。"

Ah, ah, thank you, General" 。Xu Hong couldn't refuse any longer, so he happily rode home with several guards. 。Li Dayong quickly took over the guard duty with his men, driving the previous soldiers back to camp to rest. 。The night was still quiet, only the river flowed. 。Li Dayong looked towards the east, standing silently, his expression very complex. 。The moment he had always been worried about, finally arrived. 。This is also the reason he didn't dare to leave camp for a moment. 。Thankfully, the Marquis was not in mortal danger, and there was an opportunity for his family to evacuate...Time passed little by little, Zheng Sanjiang was the first to wait for Zheng He who brought Mao Ge'er and several others. He handed them over to Zheng Sanjiang, and then Zheng He returned to the Marquis' Mansion. 。The head steward of the Marquis's mansion arranged thirty guards, who were just right to help Jia Huan and Xing Ning, as well as Tao Hongying and her son Wan'er leave the city. 。Although the wine shop and several stalls have to close, Jiahuan still needs to remind everyone before leaving with peace of mind. 。Tao Hongying was even more so, having just arrived home for less than two days before she had to return. There were too many things to arrange. 。Then Wan'er also told him about the trivial matters at Earl's Mansion... The third wave to arrive was the carriages and horses from the village. 。Mu Xu put down the jade music and turned to greet the people from Zheng's estate...ge at the village entrance, they thought they were visitors. As soon as they pointed to the Li family's gate, they pulled out their clubs and rushed over.This isn't a guest, this is a robber!That some...
