Although the siblings have a strict family education and will not make any words or deeds that contradict their father, if they always think about this and do not respond, it is indeed not their style of conduct.

A few days ago, I heard from my brother that my father had never even sent a vanguard army to Xiangyang to find out the news. The two could no longer sit still. They changed their clothes, put on bags of money, and after leading two horses, they went straight to the north.

The two of them planned to see Uncle Zhu. If they really couldn't see him, it would not be a waste to investigate the siege of the Qin army. At least when they saw his father when they went back, they could say something.

Because of his heartache, the two of them rushed for nearly three days to get here.

But what they saw and heard on the road really made the brother and sister feel a little sad. Xiangyang City was besieged by the Qin army and no one went to rescue it. The people on the way seemed to care about this. They basically didn't hear a discussion about the war in the north.

So, as soon as Xie Li mentioned this, Huan Chan's anger burst out, and naturally she forgot to lower her voice.

Fortunately, Xie Li and Huan Chan listened quietly for a while and found that there was no movement around him. Then Huan Chan continued, "I heard you talk about Xiangyang just now. You must have heard of the war over there. Tell me what the situation is there?"

Xie Li couldn't help but pat his head with his right hand, and then said to her: "Madam Huan, Xie Li, how can I have so much time to tell you about this? Aren't we discussing your money losing?"

"Isn't it just a loss of money? If you lose it, you lose it. What's the point of discussing?"

"Don't you think about it, why don't someone want you to go to Xiangyang?"

"What?"

After hearing him say it, Huan Chan felt a little confused and didn't know what he meant.

Xie Li had no choice but to continue explaining: "Think about it first, this thief... Let's call this person a thief first. After stealing your property, and without anyone helping you, what choice can you make?"

Huan Chan thought for a long time before slowly saying, "Then you can only go home as soon as possible. If you rush to the horse, you should be able to get home after more than a day."

"That's it, if I'm not mistaken, this is the main purpose of the thief."

After Xie Li finished speaking, he took a while and continued, "Generally speaking, although the guest house rarely allows credit, there must be exceptions. For the two of you, you are not from ordinary families at first sight. How could the sacrificial master be so determined and not give any feelings. And the key point is that although I don't know the exact value of your sword, it should be a little bit worthy of ten or eight guest houses, and the host is not moved at all. There must be something tricky about this. Now that these things are connected together, it is easy to explain."

"This thief first took your wallet, and then used some means to threaten the sacrificial owner, so that he would not be able to be at all with you. If everything goes well, you are penniless and cannot take the initiative to borrow money, so you will definitely get up and go home as soon as possible, so his goal will be achieved."

"Well... it seems that it makes sense for you to say this..." Huan Chan said after thinking for a while.

"Well, it's up to you to think about the rest. Who doesn't want you to go to Xiangyang and then urges you to go back like this." After Xie Li finished speaking, he shook his arm gently and kept holding it on the door frame, his whole arm a little sore.

Then he turned around and wanted to go back to his room to rest.

"Ah...ah...thin...no, Xie Li, haven't you told me about the situation of the Qin army besieged in Xiangyang?"

Seeing that he turned around and was about to leave, Huan Chan immediately walked out of the door. In desperation, he grabbed his forearm and asked like this.

But I immediately realized that this behavior was a bit rude, so I let go of my hand awkwardly. However, the look still revealed something I really want to know.

Xie Li turned around and smiled at her, saying, "It's too late today. We have been traveling for a day. Now we are all sleepy and exhausted. Moreover, there are many things in Xiangyang City, and it's not something that can be explained clearly in a short while. So, let's go and have a good rest first and talk about it in detail tomorrow."

Although Huan Chan was eager to know about the war in Xiangyang, since Xie Li said so, he could only go to rest first.

As for who this "thief" is, even if Huan Chan is not smart, she can still figure out who she is.

The next morning, the owner asked the chef in the house to prepare breakfast early, and then brought it to the counter of the hall by the servant.

Passengers got up one after another, each serving, and started eating on the long table in the hall.

Xie Li also came here, and the scene in the hall finally gave him a sense of familiarity.

In my previous life, whether at school or at work, I basically got up at this time every day, and then went to the cafeteria to finish breakfast after washing up.

But since she arrived here, Xie Li has never had breakfast at this time again.

The first half is the same. I get up and wash up at about the same time, but if I want to have breakfast, I usually need to starve for about two hours.

If you have to eat in your previous life, two hours later, it will basically be lunch.

This is equivalent to Xie Li's condition here is that he spends his mornings hungry almost every day.

Fortunately, I don't need it today.

This can actually be said to be affected by these merchants, fortune-telling, and medical practitioners. They do not have a fixed life schedule like ordinary farmers, and have a constant daily routine every day.

Therefore, when it comes to eating, you don’t have to follow other people’s time standards.

The existence of the guest house is mostly prepared for these people, so when preparing meals, they naturally follow the time they are used to by these passengers.

Breakfast is very simple. Basically, each serving is a bowl of porridge, a plate of pickled pickles that the guest house pickles themselves, and one or two pieces of dried cakes.

Xie Li and the other four were having a meal while discussing the situation of their journey today.

"Mother, Grandma Zhao, after you finish your meal, you will go back to the guest room first and rest for a while. I will go out to see if I can buy a better carriage."

Qin nodded slightly and said, "Well, you can inquire with others more. If you really don't have one, then forget it."

Grandma Zhao also said from the side: "Xuanzhi said, but even if she finds it, she still needs to make up for it. If it is suitable, we will change it. If it is not suitable, our car is also very good now."

Xie Li replied with a smile: "Well, just listen to Grandma Zhao. If the seller is too dark, let's continue to ride our current cart, which is quite spacious anyway."

After hearing Xie Li's words, Su Huixue, who was standing aside, chuckled and agreed: "It's not only spacious, but also better see the scenery on the road."

While talking and laughing, Xie Li found that the smile on Su Huixue's face opposite was gradually disappearing.

Xie Li followed her gaze and looked back. It turned out that it was the two brothers and sisters Huan Chan and Huan Xian. They were carrying breakfast and walking towards their place.
