On the other side, Xianping Yuzhai.

On the morning of the third day after the Dingbei Marquis Mansion was confiscated and exterminated by the emperor, the Yu siblings received an urgent secret message from the capital.

Mu Yang used a spirit pigeon to deliver news of the fall of Ganzhou and the disaster of the Song family. He also mentioned Song Xi's plan to go to the northwest to save his father.

The sudden changes shocked the siblings, and the corrupt court made them even more disappointed. Emperor Yuanfeng even killed the generals who guarded the border. What future did the Zhou Dynasty have?

When Yu Yalan thought of the women and children of the Song family who died innocently and tragically, she was so sad that she burst into tears. Regret and pain were tormenting her heart, and she wished she could overthrow the imperial court to avenge them!

If she had taken her two elders with her when she left Beijing, then they would definitely still be alive and well today, right?

I thought I had made all the arrangements, but I still underestimated the shamelessness of the royal family!

The Dingbei Marquis Mansion is now ruined, and it is impossible for them to stay in Xianping.

The two siblings discussed it and decided to reorganize the family business and go to the northwest to support Song Xi. No matter what storm they will face in the future, they will live and die with the Song family and advance and retreat together!

After deciding to go to the northwest, the two immediately made an appointment with the county magistrate Li Qian. Not only did they fully inform them of the current situation in the capital, they even explained their imminent departure.

Xianping is about half a month away from the capital, so the local government has not received relevant news yet.

Suddenly learning that the Song family had been exterminated, Li Qian was shocked and speechless. His solemn face was full of disbelief. He was stunned for a long time before he recovered.

He wiped his face to hide the tears in his eyes, and solemnly promised to the Yu siblings: "You just go to the northwest to save people with peace of mind. I will help you protect the Yu family's property and houses. The ancestors of the Song family

I will also do my best to protect the house. If anyone dares to take advantage of it, I will do my best to stop them! Brother Song and Uncle Song leave it to you. Please rescue them safely!"

Li Qian bowed and gave a big salute to his sister and brother. His sincere words could not conceal his anxious mood.

As a local official, he could not leave his post without authorization and accompany the two of them to the northwest. He did not have any martial arts skills, so forcing him to accompany them would only drag down the team.

However, within his ability, he will not hesitate to give any support. Xianping is already under his control, and he will do his best to protect this last place of refuge.

Yu Hongxuan hurriedly helped Li Qian up, pretending to blame him and said: "Brother Li, what you said is untrue! Song Xi is my sister's fiancé, of course we will spare no effort to rescue the Song family! You just stay in Xianpingan, the situation is

We’ll find a way to keep in touch after things stabilize.”

Li Qian also thought of the marriage relationship between the Song and Yu families, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed on his face.

"I was confused for a moment, I'm sorry!"

Yu Hongxuan patted his shoulder, pointed to a large wooden box that had been prepared on the ground, and said with a serious face: "Here are all kinds of elixirs prepared for you, including those for healing wounds, detoxifying, and curing diseases.

There are also poisons against the enemy and three special amulets. Remember to keep them carefully and carry them with you to be careful of the forces from the capital sneaking into Xianpyeong."

Li Qian was very touched. He didn't expect that the Yu family siblings had prepared so many life-saving things for him.

The three of them continued to talk secretly for a while, and after clearing up the rest of the chores, Li Qian quietly returned home with the medicine box.

The short day passed quickly in the busyness, and the moonlight climbed up the eaves with the darkness.

The Yu family's shops closed one after another, and the servants in the shop also gathered in the main courtyard. Everyone was carrying the burden of the long journey, and they were anxiously waiting for the master's arrangements.

The few beggars who were taken in at the beginning are among them. Now they have changed their appearance. Yu Yalan not only provides them with food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also sends the children to school to study and read.

These beggars were extremely grateful to the Yu family and vowed to become loyal servants of the siblings. When they learned that the Yu siblings were about to go to the northwest, they voluntarily followed them.

Yu Yalan really couldn't bring so many people together. Fortunately, most of the secret camp in Huxiao Mountain had been built, so she asked Han Shan and Luo Zhou to escort them to the mountain for refuge first. After rescuing the Song family and his son, they would think of a way.

Get together with everyone and plan future development together.

As for the long-term farmers in the Yu family's fields, Yu Yalan has already given them sufficient resettlement expenses and persuaded them to return to their places of origin immediately and not stay in Xianping to avoid being plotted by evil people.

The long-term workers didn't know what was going on, so they packed their bags as they were told. Before leaving Xianping, they told Yu Yalan not to be polite and to ask for help if she encountered any difficulties.

Yu Yalan naturally agreed repeatedly and did not underestimate these retired soldiers at all.

They will need a lot of manpower in the future, and these long-term workers will one day be called to gather again.

Before midnight, Hanshan and Luozhou safely sent the servants and children to Huxiao Camp and left them with sufficient living supplies.

After everyone was settled, Yu Yalan took back all the goods in the Yu family's shop, and then rushed to the northwest with six puppets and all their belongings, day and night.

Early the next morning, the people of Xianping all discovered the closing notice of the Yu family's shop, and even the servants and long-term workers were nowhere to be seen.

Everyone was shocked and confused by this and had no idea what had happened to the Yu family. Some kind-hearted people even went to the county government office to inquire, very worried about the safety of the siblings.

When asked about the Yu family's affairs, Li Qian just pretended to be surprised and replied that he didn't know. In order to act more like him, he took the yamen servant to investigate around the Yu family's house and shop, and finally returned to the county with a shake of his head and a sigh.

He told the people that he had no clue.

In order to successfully muddle through today, he practiced for a long time in front of the mirror last night. Deception and acting have never been his strong point, but from now on it is an indispensable survival skill.

A wry smile appeared on Li Qian's lips, and he silently prayed in his heart that the Song family father and son and the Yu siblings would return safely.

The morning sun in early spring exudes a slight warmth, but the road ahead is full of confusion.

The rise and fall of a family is like the change of dynasties, and no one knows where their destiny will go.

…

Three days later, the news that Dingbei Hou was defeated and punished, and that the Song family was confiscated and exterminated, finally reached Xianping. Only then did everyone suddenly realize and understand the reason for the sudden departure of the Yu siblings.

The loyal marquis who is brave and good at fighting, the benevolent businessman who is willing to do charity, it seems that good people always rarely get good results.

Many people felt sorry for the Song and Yu families and worried that they would be persecuted and killed by the imperial court.

As the news gradually spread, spies from several major forces in the capital also arrived. Their purpose was obvious, and they planned to take advantage of the opportunity to plot against the Yu family's property, which had lost its backer, and to seize the Yu siblings to trap Song Xi.
