Chapter 342 Ling Moxiao arrives in Chang'an and meets the Shen family

Mo Xiujing was originally going to go to Chang'an with Ling Moxiao, but was forced to stay by Shen Dongsu and Sister Ayuan.

His injuries had not yet healed, and because there was no doctor around to change the prescription during his time in Chang'an, he was still taking the prescription that Dong Su had written before, which had a great impact on his condition.

Sister Yuan said that he had been sleepwalking in the middle of the night these days and often woke up and could not recognize people.

Master Bai said directly that if he continued to act like this, it would be a luxury to live for ten months, not to mention ten years. He had never seen anyone who took his life so lightly.

Since Xiao Pan Ge doesn't take his life seriously, it will be up to Dong Su and A Yuan to cherish his life. Ling Mo Xiao is the same and opposes him to go to Chang'an with them.

To put it bluntly, once he gets the imperial edict back, his mission will be over, and the rest of the battlefield will be left to others!

Ling Moxiao had breakfast with the twins. The fever of the two children had gone down, but their eyes were watery. Xiaobao, in particular, seemed to know that his father was leaving again, and he kept hugging his neck and refused to let go.

The more he missed his family and the more he couldn't bear to leave his children, the more Ling Moxiao felt that he should rush to Chang'an as soon as possible to end this catastrophe.

Because during this period, countless families will be destroyed and countless children will lose their parents. They are all the people of Daxia and should not suffer such a disaster.

Shen Dongsu carried the child and sent him to Chuihua Gate, but the child couldn't stand the cold wind, so she didn't go any further.

The couple had such a tacit understanding that they didn't need to give too many instructions. Shen Dongsu just said softly, "The children and I will wait for you at home."

Ling Moxiao's eyes turned red again. He hummed and said, "Take care of yourself."

Ling Moxiao felt that there was no need to say things like "take good care of the children and protect Youzhou City". What he should remind most was that Dong Su should take good care of herself.

Ling Moxiao only brought a team of personal guards and chased the four armies in the direction of Chang'an.

Although he only stayed in Youzhou for one day, he boosted the confidence of the officials and soldiers who stayed behind.

As long as our Prince Ling takes action, both external enemies and internal strife will be quelled quickly!

Shen Linzhong came back on the third day after Ling Moxiao left. He went to Prince Ling's Mansion to have a quick meeting with Dong Su, then boarded the Jiang family's merchant ship to pick up the Shen family.

Xiaohu stayed in the Goryeo battlefield. It was Chen Li who specifically asked him to stay. Xiaohu performed very well in this battle and has been promoted to the seventh-rank captain.

Zhongyang originally wanted to go with his eldest brother to pick up his family, but when he thought about his brother-in-law and eldest brother being away, he had to stay to protect his sister and the twins.

He then moved into Prince Ling's mansion, where he studied the political affairs of Youzhou with Mo Xiujing while reviewing his lessons to prepare for the autumn examination.

This was Dongsu's specific reminder that no matter what happened outside, students must not forget to study.

Originally, Butler Liu received a letter from Mo Xiujing and arranged for the Shen family to go to Yangzhou and take the Jiang family's boat to Youzhou with Yu Dayu.

This is the quickest and safest evacuation route, but they didn't expect King Wu's men to catch up so quickly. They guessed that the Shen family would take the sea.

The harbor was directly closed, and merchant ships were not allowed to go out to sea. Jiang Hong made all kinds of efforts, but he could only hide the Shen family on a small island, and could only let Youzhou send a ship to pick them up.

At this time, on the small island where the Jiang family secretly based themselves, Grandpa Shen, Father Shen, Mrs. Jiang, Yu Dayu, and Qingniu were looking at the sea level with sad faces.

Originally, Butler Liu wanted to arrange for the second branch's family to escape with them, but Zhu and Hu Jinhua were unwilling to do so and said sarcasticly that they had severed their relationship with the first branch long ago, so why should they escape?

Who knows what will happen if you run away? Maybe you will die a more miserable death and become a wandering ghost unable to return to your hometown.

Shen Dazhi originally wanted to listen to his father and run away with the eldest wife. He felt that this was the best opportunity to reconcile with the eldest wife. He had never been able to benefit from the powerful princess' niece.

If he listened to his father and elder brother this time, he would be able to stand up straight and tell others that he was Princess Ling's second uncle.

As a result, Zhu said that Prince Ling would definitely not have a good ending this time, and no one would survive if they had anything to do with him. Anyway, the two families had severed their relationship long ago, so why should they follow him to die?

Hu Jinhua advised him from the perspective of benefits. With Grandpa Shen and Shen Dacheng gone, the huge Shen family fortune would fall into the hands of the second branch!

Let's hide for a while and stay out of the spotlight. When those people stop coming to the Shen family to cause trouble, we'll come back. The mansion, shop, and manor all belong to the second branch!

If you run away with the first wife, you will never be able to turn your life around.

Shen Dazhi thought about it all night, and because of his gambler's nature, he decided not to escape.

But Shen Qingniu, who had been an apprentice in the manor, insisted on going with his grandfather. Although this child was naive, naive people had one characteristic: it was difficult to change their minds once they had made up their minds.

Qingniu believes that his grandfather is the smartest person in the family and he should listen to what smart people say.

Time was pressing, and Steward Liu did not force the second house to leave if it was unwilling to do so. As for the families of several aunts, he took them to the prince's manor. These were not the princess's close relatives, and it was impossible for the King of Wu's men to fight to the death with the prince's manor for these people.

In this way, Jiang Hong only received five members of the Shen family. After secretly sending them to the island, in order to conceal their tracks, he asked them to dress up as people from the Jiang family's trading company.

Wait for the pursuers to leave, or for Youzhou to send someone to pick them up.

Except for Yu Dayu, everyone else saw the sea for the first time. Qingniu still had the mentality of a child and knew nothing about the political situation. He lived quite happily on the island.

Every day he learned games from the sailors, went fishing with them, and listened to their stories at sea. When he heard that Jiang Hong and Jia Shiba were going to Japan this time, he wanted to go with them, but was scolded by his grandfather.

Grandpa and Shen's father couldn't sit still. After getting tired of looking at the sea view, they went to watch the Jiang family make marine supplies, learned how to weave fish nets and hemp ropes, and watched the Jiang family drying salt fields as they learned from Youzhou.

However, the two of them heard about the political situation from the sailors, especially that the King of Wu had ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and Dong Su had issued a manifesto, saying that there would be a war between Chang'an and Youzhou.

Both of them were extremely worried, worried about Prince Ling's condition, Dong Su and the twins, and of course Lin Zhong and Zhong Yang.

While I was worried, I also felt deeply guilty and blamed myself. It was all because of me being useless as a grandfather and a father!

No matter how strong their children are, once they are in danger, parents will always blame themselves for not being able to help.

It is true that given Dong Su's current status and position, the greatest help they can provide is to ensure that he remains safe and does not hinder him.

But Grandpa and Father Shen still blame themselves. The younger generation is at the critical moment of life and death, but they, the elders, can't help at all and are still waiting for the younger generation to rescue them.

As for Yu Dayu, actually there was no need for him to escape. With his current status and position in Jiangnan, even if the new emperor's men came to him, they would not dare to touch him.

He insisted on escaping together simply to protect the Shen family. Although Jiang Hong is very trustworthy, no matter how trustworthy he is, he is still a businessman, and the Jiang family is large and powerful. Jiang Hong is trustworthy, but it does not mean that other people in the Jiang family are trustworthy.

Yu Dayu felt that if he didn't come with them, if the Shen family was taken away by the Jiang family and something happened to them, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Among the five, Jiang was the only one who was always complaining, crying and regretting.

She even blamed Dong Su for marrying Prince Ling. It was her fault for marrying into the royal family that brought such disaster to the family.

As for the benefits that the Shen family gained after Dong Su married Queen Ling, she did not mention it at all at this moment.

She also complained that Butler Liu was too self-willed. She originally wanted to hide in Prince Ling's manor with her second and third aunts, but Butler Liu insisted that she was the princess's mother.

The King of Wu's men would not touch those distant relatives, but if her mother stayed, they would definitely find ways to capture her.

She also complained about Father Shen. Dong Su had told him many times that the family should go to Youzhou for a reunion, but he was unwilling to go and did not allow her to go. Now, who knows if he will be trapped on this island forever?

Anyway, there are too many things to complain about. The sea breeze is too strong, the waves are too scary, the boat ride is too painful, and there is still silver at home that has not been hidden well. What if it is stolen by the second wife?

Mr. Shen was annoyed by her nagging and was afraid that she would anger his grandfather. He said with great regret that he should have left her in Gwangju earlier.

Jiang was angry again when she heard this. You all ran away, leaving me to die, right? I haven't even had a grandson yet, don't even think about abandoning me!

Sometimes when Father Shen looked at Jiang, he felt that the woman in front of him was so strange. When did she become like this?

She had given birth to children for me before, and never left me even when Zhu drove me to the cowshed. How could she have become so selfish and unreasonable now?

Father Shen was afraid that she would say something nonsense in front of the Jiang family, so he asked her to stay in her room and not go out too much. But she started pretending to be sick again, feeling pain here and there.

When Yu Dayu came to see her, she held Dayu's hand and cried, saying how miserable her life was and how she had to suffer like this at her old age.

Yu Dayu used to like Fourth Aunt very much. He thought that she became cowardly because she was bullied by Zhu and Hu Jinhua for a long time, and she only dared to vent her anger on her daughter Dongsu.

But now, Yu Dayu can only say that this person's personality is innate. Fortunately, the three children she gave birth to are not like her.

Jiang didn't have time to complain for long. Youzhou's warships soon arrived at the island and successfully picked up the Shen family.

The new emperor's people naturally discovered it and immediately sent ships to chase them. Unfortunately, their ships were still old-fashioned ships, not even as good as the Jiang family's merchant ships.

The Youzhou ships fired a few fish oil firearms, which frightened the official ships and made them dare not chase them. Moreover, their speed was not as fast as the Youzhou ships.

Seeing the majestic Shen Linzhong, dressed in armor, commanding the soldiers, Grandpa Shen and Father Shen were extremely pleased. As expected, letting Shen Linzhong follow Prince Ling would help him to have a bright future.

Otherwise, for people like them who were born into a peasant family and Shen Linzhong who had no education, how could they have any future?

The best case scenario is to learn Shen's father's skills and support his family by being a carpenter like his father.

Ze Jiang had already been hugging Shen Linzhong and crying, as if she had suffered a great injustice. She kept talking about how scared she was and how much she had suffered along the way.

Of the three siblings of the Shen family, Shen Dongsu, needless to say, had long since severed the mother-daughter relationship with her in her heart and only regarded her as the original owner's mother.

An elder who has to be supported but has no affection for his parents is like a mother who is forced by law to be supported by her children in later generations.

After Zhongyang became knowledgeable through reading, he realized his mother's inherent character flaws. He tried hard to correct his mother, but found that she was unable to change at all.

He rationally maintained the mother-son relationship, but was never influenced by his mother.

Only Lin Zhong, the eldest son, had seen Jiang being bullied by Zhu and Hu Jinhua since he was a child. He always felt that his mother had suffered too much injustice over the years. Now that he had the ability, he wanted to repay her.

Therefore, he was very tolerant of Jiang, even if he heard Shen's father or Zhongyang complaining about Jiang and doing something stupid, he would find excuses for Jiang and let Zhongyang stay at home to persuade his mother.

Shen Dongsu had joked before that after her eldest brother got married, he should never let his sister-in-law live with Jiang, otherwise even the best daughter-in-law would be ruined by Jiang's love for her.

On the boat, Jiang followed her son closely. She was most impatient to talk to Shen Linzhong, Grandpa Shen and Father Shen about things in Youzhou. She just wanted her son to listen to her all the time.

After not seeing each other for so many years, she had so many things to say to her son. Shen Linzhong advised her in a good-tempered manner until Grandpa Shen couldn't stand it anymore and scolded her, saying that we should talk about business later.

Under normal circumstances, Jiang would have definitely fought back, but this time, she just cried aggrievedly and said that she would go back to her room first, and let Lin Zhong come to accompany her after they finished their business.

Yu Dayu is such an honest man, but his eyes twitched when he saw this. Now that Fourth Aunt has arrived in Youzhou, Cousin Dongsu will have a headache.

When I received the letter from my eldest brother, saying that he would bring his family to Youzhou in three days.

Shen Dongsu first let Zhongyang live in "Shen's House". This was the house she bought for her eldest brother. There was no reason for her eldest brother to still live in Prince Ling's Mansion after getting married!

After receiving Xiao Pan's letter, she arranged for people to decorate the Shen residence, and all the maids and guards were arranged so that they could move in without having to pack their bags.

Sister Yuan asked in confusion, "Don't you let Fourth Aunt and the others live in the palace? If the whole family lives together, it will be easier for them to take care of each other."

Zhong Yang, on the other hand, was very sensible and said, "Officials often come and go in the palace, and it would be too noisy if a large family lived here. Anyway, the Shen residence is close, so it is convenient for people to come and go."

He also whispered to Dong Su: "Don't worry, sister, I will take good care of mom."

Shen Dongsu smiled and patted his shoulder: "In the future, you must marry a powerful wife."

Zhongyang's mouth twitched slightly, Sister, you think too much, I'm still a child!

Bad news always comes in pairs, and the same goes for good news. I just received a letter from my eldest brother saying that he had successfully picked up his family.

Another letter was received from Jia Si, saying that although the new emperor ordered troops from various states to intercept the Youzhou army along the way.

Before Prince Ling arrived, several generals from other states tried to stop them, but were forced to let them go after being defeated by the Youzhou army.

But since Prince Ling arrived, there were no more troops blocking the way, and even several troops joined the Youzhou army, holding high the banner of clearing the court.

This is the reality. No matter how righteous you are, it is not as important as your strength.

After seeing the strength of the Youzhou army and seeing the prestige of Prince Ling, I wanted to be a fence-sitter, thinking that no matter who ascends the throne, it will not affect us, the state officials.

Everyone wanted to earn the credit of following the emperor, so Ling Moxiao naturally did not refuse. He even hoped to make the King of Wu admit defeat with great fanfare and without bloodshed.

In this way they hurried all the way to Chang'an City. It happened to be the first snow in Chang'an, and the new emperor had only 50,000 imperial guards and 100,000 troops from Liangzhou who were on their way.

General Xie of Liangzhou was the uncle of King Wu and one of the old aristocratic families.

Ling Moxiao looked at King Wu, who was wearing a dragon robe and climbing up the city wall. He read the manifesto again in public and at the same time took out the late emperor's edict, asking King Wu to open the city gate. He wanted to find out the cause of death of the late emperor.
