Chapter 1138: Linked to each other

Mr. Jiang signaled everyone to calm down, then personally helped the village chief who was saluting, and then said, "Everyone knows that the prince grew up with me, and I still have some dignity. I will protect the children along the way. Go south. I can’t say that the children will be safe, but I can say that anyone who dares to harm the children must step over my body first!”

“Mr. Jiang…”

“Thank you, Mr. Jiang. I will have to ask you to take care of the children from now on.”

“Mr. Jiang, please take care of yourself and let me take care of you in your old age.”

The villagers could no longer bear it, their eyes were red, and they called for the boys to kowtow to Mr. Jiang.

Jiayin also stepped forward, looking a little guilty.

This time, in order for the children to evacuate smoothly, she really had no choice but to kill first and then force Mr. Jiang to **** them.

Actually, Mr. Jiang could have stayed and lived a lifetime of prosperity and wealth by virtue of his contribution to raising the prince.

“Mr. Jiang, I’m sorry, I...”

Mr. Jiang did not let Jiayin finish, and responded with a smile, "Princess, you don't have to be like this, these children are also my students, and I should protect them. Besides, I have long wanted to go south to broaden my horizons, and now is the time good chance.

"If the princess feels sorry for me, then give me some gold and silver. I am a poor person. When I go to the south, I can only swallow my saliva when I see so many delicious food, but it is too miserable."

Actually, as a half-adoptive father of a prince, how could he be short of money?

Mr. Jiang said this just to make everyone feel more relaxed.

But Jiayin still took out a handful of banknotes from her bag and stuffed them all in.

Mr. Jiang also accepted it generously, and then the villagers said, "Look, I even accepted the hard work fee, so don't be polite. Say goodbye to the child quickly, we are about to set off."

The villagers were reminded and quickly grabbed the child and gave instructions.

At this time, Li Laosan finally came back with the canteen staff, so another round of greetings was inevitable.

On the way, Li Laosan had already spoken briefly to everyone.

So, when the village chief asked everyone, Aunt Wu was the first to say, "We all planned to stay, so we came back directly."

Dazhu's wife also responded, "Yes, village chief, we won't bother anymore. Just evacuate the children! We can't help others if we stay, and we are pretty good at making a big pot of rice."

The village chief sighed and stopped trying to persuade him.

Jiayin was thinking about his brothers and asked his third uncle a few words. He was relieved to hear that they had left with Zheng He.

After a while, the carriages and horses were ready.

Liu Biao stepped forward and said, "Princess, I have discussed it with the village chief. This time, I will go south with the **** on the boat. Princess, I need to worry more about this at home."

Jiayin nodded and responded, "Okay, Brother Liu Yang has been married for so long, uncle should have gone over to take a look."

At this time, the village chief shouted to the children to get on the car, while the other young couples rode horses.

Everyone was worried about the danger on the road and was afraid that the noise would be too loud and attract attention. In the end, only ten veterans were selected to protect the convoy.

Jiayin and Mu Jue rode on the same horse and led the way.

In the dark night, the remaining villagers stood under the big tree at the entrance of the village, watching the carriages and horses drive away. No one dared to say goodbye loudly, but they could only shed tears silently.

Even if you shed tears, you must wipe them away quickly, for fear of being unlucky.

Everyone in the carriage and on the horse had tears in their eyes.

The separation was so unexpected and so sad.

But just like dandelions, I don’t know when the autumn wind blows, and I will send the children away to take root again in a distant place and grow stronger...

Due to a long-term drought, the Jinsha River, which was originally rich in water, has almost shrunk by half.

Jiangchazi, the deepest part of the river, could barely hide three large boats.

When he received the news, Zheng Feng quietly set off with two large ships and rushed to a small pier more than ten miles east of the military camp pier.

The wharf is where people from nearby villages temporarily dock while fishing.

Now it is convenient for the Li family to evacuate their people. Zheng Sanjiang moved here a few years later, pretending to be a fisherman, but actually just for this moment.

At this moment, he was hiding in the woods near the fishing village, waiting quietly.

In the military camp, almost all the soldiers were asleep.

Li Dayong, however, was dressed in armor and walked out of the room holding a sword in his hand.

His bodyguard stepped forward and asked, "General, why haven't you rested yet? But do you have something to give?"

Li Dayong nodded and asked, "Who is patrolling the river bank on the east side tonight?"

The guard thought for a while and responded, "Coming back to the general, it's Lieutenant General Xu Hong."

“Let’s go, take a hundred brothers with me to change defenses.” Li Dayong lowered his voice and urged, “Try not to alert outsiders.”

The bodyguard was a little confused, but still obeyed the order.

Soon, a group of them left the military camp and headed east.

Vice-General Xu Hong was born in a poor family and had no pride. He got along well with everyone in the camp.

He was yawning and releasing water by the river when he suddenly saw Li Dayong coming over. He was startled and joked casually.

"Why is the general here? We are patrolling seriously and are not lazy at all?"

Li Dayong smiled, raised his hand and stuffed him with a jade pendant, and said, "Isn't it your youngest son's first birthday tomorrow? But there is something going on in the palace, so I'm afraid we can't celebrate with wine? This is my birthday gift to my child. I won't do it for you again." You'll be on duty for half a night, go home and have a look."

“Oh, how can this be done?” Xu Hong was so moved that he refused again and again.

He was in the military camp all year round, separated from his family, and suffered terribly.

Last year he took the initiative to move his wife and children to a village on the west side of the dock. He would go back and visit occasionally when he had the chance.

This time, his wife has been thinking about his youngest son's birthday for a long time. He originally planned to take leave tomorrow to go back to celebrate the child, but the queen passed away suddenly, and it was obvious that the plan was ruined.

Unexpectedly, the general actually remembered and not only gave him a birthday gift, but also helped him free up half the night.

Li Dayong patted him on the shoulder and pushed him, "You're welcome, I can't sleep either and I happened to be walking around. Just go back and come back before breakfast so as not to delay the business."

"Hey, hey, thank you so much, general." Xu Hong couldn't refuse anymore, so he happily took a few guards and rode home.

Li Dayong and his men quickly took over the patrol and drove the previous soldiers back to the camp to rest.

The dark night is still quiet, only the river is flowing.

Li Dayong looked to the east and stood silently, with a complicated look on his face.

The moment he had been worried about had finally arrived.

This is why he did not dare to leave the camp for a moment.

Fortunately, Mr. Hou is not in danger, and his family also has the opportunity to evacuate...

 Time passed little by little, and the first thing Zheng Sanjiang was waiting for was Zheng He, who brought several cat brothers and handed them over to him. Zheng He returned to the city and went to the Hou Mansion.

The housekeeper of the Marquis Mansion arranged thirty guards to help take Jiahuan and Xing Ning, as well as Tao Hongying, Wan'er and her son out of the city.

Although restaurants and several shops are about to close, the family still needs to be warned before they can leave with peace of mind.

Tao Hongying is even more so. She has to return home within two days and has too many things to arrange.

Wan'er also explained the trivial matters in the Earl's Mansion...

The third wave that arrived were the carriages and horses from the village.

Mu Jue put down the good news and turned back to greet the people from Zhengjiazhuang...
