Chapter 86 A bolt from the blue
“Is the news serious?”
He asked coldly, and Hayama nodded quickly, "There's already a commotion in Kyoto, I'm afraid the news will come here in the next three to five days."
Mr. Ye suddenly stood up and ordered, "Pack up your things and set off back to Beijing immediately."
Yeshan pulled Dongmei, who still didn’t understand the situation, and immediately went to prepare.
Everyone in the Li family was confused. Mrs. Li asked.
"Master Ye is going back? Wait a moment. We smoked some rabbits and some dry goods at home. Let's pack them up and take them with us."
Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru also quickly stood up, but were suppressed by Mr. Ye with his hand.
“Mom, send the children away, I have something to say.”
Seeing that he looked bad, Mrs. Li quickly called Zhao Yuru to take Jia An Jiaxi out.
When it was her turn to deliver the good news, she hugged her grandma's neck and refused to leave.
For a while, there were only the adults of the Li family and Dr. Zhang in the room.
Mr. Ye then said, "A hundred thousand barbarian troops from the north suddenly invaded. They have broken through the border fortress and are heading towards Kyoto.
The court was discussing moving the capital to Weizhou, relying on the natural dangers of the Jinsha River to ward off enemies.
Hurry up and get ready at home, go south and look for me in Weizhou Prefecture.
I will arrange your stay!
Be sure to leave as soon as possible, the faster the better! "
These words were like thunder. They rang in everyone's ears and made everyone dumbfounded.
The border fortress is broken, and one hundred thousand barbarians are about to attack Kyoto?
Junyang County is only three hundred miles away from Kyoto. Wouldn’t the barbarian cavalry arrive in the blink of an eye?
Old Mrs. Li's legs went weak and she fell down, almost knocking Jiayin off.
Mr. Ye reached out and hugged the good news.
Jiayin hugged his neck tightly, as if this would make his anxiety feel better.
Mingming has fled from Saibei to Kyoto, has a house and land, and has taken root.
Although there is no shortage of excellent relatives, the people in the village are easy to get along with and can be considered affectionate.
It would be great to live slowly in a place like this, and the whole family can be peaceful and happy.
Why, suddenly everything was broken!
Every country must move south! The emperor and the dignitaries must run for their lives!
What a joke!
Mr. Ye felt the little body in his arms trembling. When he lowered his head, he saw that Jiayin's little fists were clenched tightly and his face turned red.
For some reason, he knew that this child was very angry.
I am angry that the Tianwu Dynasty is so weak and useless!
"Our Tianwu army has suffered from disasters for many years, and there have been constant battles in the court, and the food supply for the frontier fortress cannot be guaranteed. How can the border guards resist the barbarian cavalry when they are hungry?
But don’t worry, the natural barriers of the Jinsha River will definitely be able to stop the barbarians.
You must get on the road as soon as possible and rush to Weizhou Prefecture. "
As he spoke, he took out a waist badge from his arms and put it in Jiayin's hand.
"This is my token. When you get to Weizhou Mansion, you try to find Xintingbo Mansion and take out this token. Even if I am not here, someone will make arrangements for you."
Jiayin grabbed the token and finally felt more at ease.
She is not afraid of a long journey, not afraid of difficulties, but afraid of no destination.
With this token, Mr. Ye thought that it would save his life, and he would never be like the Liu family before.
Mrs. Li and others obviously thought of this, and felt a little relieved.
Everyone wanted to prepare things for Mr. Ye, but he refused.
After all, you have to travel day and night, so the less stuff you bring, the better.
But before leaving the house, Doctor Zhang changed his mind.
“My old arms and legs can’t bear the trouble anymore. You go, I’ll stay here and go to Weizhou Mansion with the Li family.”
The Li family are all very happy. After all, there is a miracle doctor following them on the road, and the family is not afraid of illness or injury.
They all looked at Mr. Ye, and were worried whether Mr. Ye's illness would relapse without a miracle doctor by their side.
Mr. Ye did not hesitate and agreed directly.
"Okay, let's meet at Weizhou. From here, go south and keep walking on the road. One month will be enough."
The Li family quickly thanked him, and Jiayin suddenly struggled to ask Mr. Ye to hug him. Mrs. Li thought her granddaughter was having a bad temper and wanted to coax her out.
Mr. Ye has already picked up Jiayin. Jiayin hugged him tightly and kissed him on the face as a thank you.
Mr. Ye smiled and patted her on the back.
“Fu Niu, stay well with your family. We’ll see you soon.”
Jiayin nodded and turned back to grandma's arms.
Mr. Ye took a deep look at the Li family yard, then he grabbed the horse's belly, took Dongmei and Ye Shan with him, and ran quickly out of sight.
Everyone in the Li family stood in front of the door, feeling a little empty, but more at a loss.
When the family entered the house, they were speechless for a long time.
Li Laosan really couldn’t bear to leave this home, so he whispered.
“Mom, do you want to wait a little longer? What if the barbarians are stopped in Kyoto…”
Li Laoer sighed, "Lao San, don't think about it. If we could stop it, we wouldn't move the capital. The emperor is about to run away, but we still have to stay, just to feed the barbarians with knife heads."
Li Laosi also nodded, "Go, we must go! Not only because of the barbarians, we are leaving too late, but also on the road are refugees fleeing south, so there is more danger."
Tao Hongying wanted to speak, but before she could speak, tears were already streaming down her face.
Zhao Yuru wanted to persuade her, but in the end she hugged her sister-in-law and cried bitterly.
When I came all the way from outside the Great Wall, I endured so much hardship and suffered so many misfortunes.
No one wants to experience that kind of displacement again.
But in just one year, in just one year, my family had a house and land.
Children study and play escorts, they work on the stove, farm and chop firewood.
The swallows are like mud in their mouths, and they have built this small home so beautifully.
Suddenly, everything will be shattered again.
Becomes a lost dog again and runs away in a hurry...
“Woo, I can’t bear to part with it!”
“I can’t bear to leave it, my good home is gone again.”
Old Mrs. Li also looked pale, but fortunately she still had good news in her arms.
“Milk! Milk!”
Granddaughter's voice made Mrs. Li regain some strength. She took a deep breath and straightened her back again.
“At this time, there is no point in being afraid. Living in troubled times, it’s good to be alive.
If we can move here from outside the Great Wall, we will be able to reach Weizhou safely.
For no other reason than for the sake of the children, you have to keep your spirits up. "
Li Laoer and his brothers quickly responded, "Mom is right, we don't have time to shed tears.
We need to make plans in advance. It is more than 1,400 miles and we will be on the road for at least a month. Always be prepared! "
A daughter is a strong mother. When it comes to their children, Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru wiped away their tears, "Mom, are we going to start packing now?"
“Second brother, bring me a pen and paper! We all want to think about what we want to do. Don’t leave anything behind and save yourself from losses on the way.”
Old Mrs. Li told her son, and Mr. Li immediately took out a pen and paper, and everyone worked together to make a list.
The first thing is to bring Jiaren back, and the second thing is to harvest the crops with all his strength and bring food for the whole family.
The third thing is to notify the village chief and the old men next door, and to remind the villagers to prepare in advance while being as unobtrusive as possible.
The fourth thing is to be well prepared when packing things, eating, drinking and dressing on the road, protecting yourself from rain and snow...
Three bad generals, topped by Zhuge Liang.
Everyone said what they thought of, and it took half an hour to discuss it.
Then there is the division of labor, and everyone has his or her own errands.
Listening to the good news, she felt that it was very thorough, so she distracted herself from her thoughts.
Two updates first, and one more around five o'clock.
