"A powerful force?"

Brother Chen's eyes lit up: "What are you talking about?"

I looked at him and said word by word: "What I am talking about is Yangzhou."

"Yangzhou?" He frowned and immediately said, "This is not OK! Didn't Yangzhou fight? And you have already arrived in Huai'an, and Yangzhou has been occupied long ago, right?"

I nodded: "That's right, Yangzhou has indeed been occupied by the rebels like Huai'an."

"That--"

"If you can occupy it, it does not mean you will not be taken back."

...

It was almost noon when Xiao Zhong came back. He probably ran to a lot of places to find the pen and clean paper. He ran with resentment. When he pushed the door in, he shouted in anger: "Come on, I have found these precious things!"

But as soon as he entered the room, he became quiet.

I was still sitting on the bed, and Brother Chen sat cross-legged under the bed. Neither of us spoke, but our expression was solemn, and even the atmosphere in the whole room became a little heavy.

Xiao Zhong closed his mouth all of a sudden, and looked at us with great breath.

After a moment of silence, Brother Chen turned around and looked at him: "You are back."

"Well, I'm back." Xiao Zhong said, handing over the thing, looking at me, and then looking at him, and said, "Brother, what are you talking about? You're talking so seriously."

"Ms. Yan is telling me what will happen to us in the future."

"Our future? What's the way out?"

"...This, I'll tell you later."

Brother Chen handed me the pen and ink, and the paper was laid, my legs were numb, so I barely moved my body, and then slowly began to write on the paper.

Brother Chen and Xiao Zhong stood aside, watching me write stroke by stroke.

There was no extra word on the letter, but they just asked them to give birth medicine, so I finished writing it quickly. I put down my pen, picked up the letter paper and gently blew the ink stains on it, and then folded it and handed it to them.

Xiao Zhong immediately reached out to pick him up.

But this time, Brother Chen took the letter paper first, Xiao Zhong turned to look at him and said, "Brother, you are--"

Brother Chen said: "This time, I'll go and send it."

When Xiao Zhong heard this, he immediately raised his voice and said, "Why?"

Brother Chen said: "This time is different from before. After sending the letter, you just need to get rid of the people they followed and leave the government office smoothly. But this time, after sending the letter, you must stay in the government office to confront them, let them release them and wait for them to get the medicine."

Xiao Zhong said: "Isn't this the same? I can do it too."

"This is dangerous. If they have other plans-"

"I can handle it too!"

"No," Brother Chen said in a deep voice: "You still have family in their hands. Even if you are not afraid, it will be difficult for you if they threaten you."

Xiao Zhong was puzzled by him, and Brother Chen continued, "And I, my family has been killed by them, I have nothing to worry about. Even if I fight with them, I can fight to the death!"

Xiao Zhong's face changed: "Brother!"

After Brother Chen finished speaking, he looked back at me and said to Xiao Zhong: "If anything happens, listen to Miss Yan more. She can help us, not only help us, but also help many people."

Xiao Zhong looked at me in surprise, probably unable to figure out why he left the door by himself, Brother Chen became so trusting. I sat on the bed and said to Brother Chen calmly: "You don't have to worry too much. People in the government office should not have more movements. After all-" I reached out and touched my stomach: "They still have to worry about this fetus."

"……Um."

"As long as we follow our previous plan, I can protect your lives without worries."

"good!"

Brother Chen nodded and said, "Then, when will I send the letter?"

I said, "When you send someone to find medicinal materials back. Only by determining where to store the medicinal materials, can this plan be foolproof."

"good."

In the evening, one of the people they sent back.

"We found it!"

The man looked very tired and had a lot of soil and grass stains on his body. It seemed that he had run away in a lot of places and was still a little breathing when he entered the door.

I sat up from the bed in surprise: "Really?"

"Um."

The man nodded and said to Brother Chen: "Lao Qi and the others are guarding there, I'll come back to report the news."

A hint of joy appeared on Brother Chen's face, and he nodded and said, "It's great."

I asked, "You guys, haven't you been discovered?"

"No," the man shook his head. It was so cold that he was sweating. He wiped his face with his sleeves and said, "We listened to you and went to the back door to guard. Sure enough, at noon, I saw someone sneaking out, not taking a bus, and just alone. So we followed him and went to a dilapidated temple in the west of the city. Sure enough, we saw two people guarding several boxes of medicinal materials there."

I was overjoyed: "That's great."

Brother Chen said: "Then, are they going to destroy the medicinal materials?"

"No. That person went there, just informing the people who were guarding it, saying that there was no need to destroy the medicinal materials. Only then did we feel relieved that Lao Qi and the others were there, and if there was any movement, they would come back to report the news immediately."

"Okay, that's good!" Brother Chen nodded straight, then turned his head to look at me: "Miss Yan, I already know the whereabouts of the medicinal materials, so what should we do now?"

I thought about it and said, "Now of course I want to send a letter to the prefecture."

"What's next?"

"Next, the people in the prefecture must go to find medicinal materials immediately, but now all the medicinal materials in Huai'an have been searched, and those people will definitely look for them everywhere. You just leave a little clue and let them find the place where the medicinal materials are stored."

"Um."

"At the same time, ask the people of the state to let your relatives go out of the city. They will definitely open the South City Gate and follow the previous plan-"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Xiao Zhong kept frowning, and at this time he couldn't help asking: "Why are you sure they will open the South Gate?"

"Because Nanmen is closest to the state capital, it takes the shortest time."

"oh……"

"At the same time, they want to escort your relatives, send people to find medicinal materials, and someone to guard the government office. The troops are divided into three groups, and there is inevitably a focus. For Pei - for them, your relatives are not the most important, so many people who escort them will not be sent out. This time, opening the city gate may be your only chance. Whether you can catch it depends on this action."

"I, I know."

"And it's also - remember, don't kill all those who protect medicinal materials no matter what!"

"clear."

Brother Chen nodded and said, "Then I'll set off now."

I nodded: "Yeah."

Xiao Zhong stood aside, hesitating a little. Brother Chen saw his uneasiness and said to him: "Don't worry, I will definitely act carefully. Don't forget what I said to you in the afternoon. It depends on you for the matter on the South City Gate. Listen to Miss Yan for more things. She knows a lot and is also a very capable person. She will help us."

This afternoon, Brother Chen had already passed on all the things I had said to him before to Xiao Zhong, and some of their other brothers, which also made them understand that their way out lies with me. Of course, Xiao Zhong believed in him very much, but he was still a little difficult for him to face the decision at this moment.

After a while of silence, he gritted his teeth and nodded.

Brother Chen held the letter paper in his hand and bowed to me: "I'm leaving."

I nodded: "Be careful about everything."

Xiao Zhong and the others went out to see Brother Chen off for a long time before coming back.

During this period, except for Brother Chen, everyone else rarely communicated with me. Once Brother Chen left, they didn’t know how to treat me. They could only be careful not to disturb me, but there was still no one around me, so the little clock replaced Brother Chen’s position and stayed in this broken thatched house.

He squatted aside and was bored. He picked up a grass stick and slashed it on the ground. He looked at me again, and he wanted to speak but stopped.

I closed my eyes and kept my mind for a while. When I opened my eyes, I happened to meet his inquiring gaze. But he immediately changed his gaze again. I couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Zhong."

He heard my scream and almost jumped up from the ground.

"You, don't call me that, it sounds awkward."

"That--"

"You'd better call me Xiao Zhong just like your elder brother."

"Okay." I nodded: "You just looked at me. Do you have anything to ask me?"

He glanced at me, threw away the straw stick in his hand, and said, "You said they would open the south gate and let our family stay there in advance, and we were ready to rush out of Huai'an in one fell swoop. But Brother Chen, he is still in the city, what should he do?"

I interrupted him: "Do you believe your elder brother Chen?"

He immediately said seriously: "Of course!"

"Then he believes me."

“…”

It was as if I was so blocked by what I said. Xiao Zhong didn't speak again for a long time after that. I probably knew that it would be a very busy night tonight, so I didn't say anything, leaning against the cold wall to close my eyes and rest.
To be continued...
