Zhang Xinwu was shocked when he heard his wife's words. Yes! The Zhang family couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

Now that his own daughter has died so tragically, if they just sit there and wait to die, which relative of his will be next?

He glanced at all the female relatives around him. Although he usually didn't like those illegitimate sons and daughters, they were all his children after all.

And there are also his family members and those who follow him. Thinking of this, an idea suddenly came to his mind!

"Ma'am, don't worry. This hard time won't last long. Before our grandson is born, I will definitely give him a safe environment."

He thought for a moment and said, "Zhuo Hao, come with me."

He needed to understand his son's thoughts. If his son had the same idea as him, he would work hard to create a career and let the Zhang family become independent again.

"Okay." Zhang Zhuohao pulled Chen Wanqing to stand up, "Mom, you should have a good rest. Taking care of your health is the most important thing. When your grandson is born, I will need your help to educate him well."

"Okay, I will take good care of myself and wait for my grandson to be born."

Mrs. Zhang looked at Chen Wanqing's belly. She really hoped that she was carrying a grandson!

Now their Zhang family is no longer the same as before. If they give birth to a daughter, they can't give her a better life, nor can they protect her. Thinking of this, she lay down again and shed two tears silently.

"Wanqing, go over there and wait for us. The road is uneven, so be careful not to fall."

It would be better for the father and son to say what he wants to say next.

Chen Wanqing wanted to listen, so she pulled Zhang Zhuohao's hand.

"Dad, what's the matter? Can't Wanqing know? She is mine now, and she is pregnant with your grandson, so she is not an outsider."

Zhang Zhuohao really felt that he had nothing to hide from his wife.

"Yes, Dad, I will be Zhuo Hao's person in this life and Zhuo Hao's ghost in death. I will always be on the same side with him." Chen Wanqing also expressed her opinion appropriately.

Zhang Xinwu thought about how his son had been looking for someone like crazy last night, and now that he had just found her, it was normal for him not to want to be separated from his daughter-in-law.

But I think what I am about to say is too big to let others know.

"Wanqing, Dad knows you're a good daughter-in-law, but what I told Zhuohao was a matter between us men, so you should go over there and rest first."

Zhang Zhuohao saw that his father kept asking his wife to leave first, maybe there was something really important! "Wanqing, go over there and wait for me, I'll be here soon."

"Okay." Seeing that they disagreed, Chen Wanqing had no choice but to agree and left.

"Zhuo Hao, given our current situation, what do you think we should do next? Don't say those empty words, just tell me your true thoughts."

When the father and son walked to a remote place, Zhang Xinwu asked directly. He wanted to know his son's true thoughts so that he could know what to do next.

"Dad!" Zhang Zhuohao called out, then looked at his father again. After a while, he slowly spoke.

"Dad, my truest thought is that our Zhang family shouldn't be like this. Half of the credit for the Wei Dynasty belongs to my grandfather. Why did they send us into exile?

The one who died today was my own sister, and her death was so tragic. Who will be the next?

I still have my mother, my wife, and now my children, as well as so many people from my tribe. I don’t want to lose any of them.”

Last year when the emperor asked his father to hand over the military power, he had objected. Unfortunately, at that time his father felt that even if he handed over the military power, the emperor would not do anything to their family.

After all, their Zhang family was a founding hero, but the reality was that the emperor was vindictive and was not a good ruler. After he ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to kill almost all his brothers. How could he let the Zhang family go?

No one knows what will happen to the Zhang family next, but if they don’t resist, they will surely die.

Because the journey to Ningguta is very long, and there is ice and snow all year round, it is very cold.

Now they are less than halfway through the journey and can no longer go any further. There is a widespread drought in the south and too many people have fled to the north, cutting off their route to Ningguta.

"Alas, it's all my fault for being soft-hearted at the time. Now my entire Zhang family has become like this, and I've also harmed your sister.

Zhuo Hao, Dad will try to listen to your opinions more in the future. When you grow up, the Zhang family will be handed over to you sooner or later.

The path Dad chose before was wrong. Now you think that our Zhang family should change its path, so let’s change it.

The emperor thought that if he took away my military power and sent my entire family into exile, he would be safe.

In fact, I can mobilize my troops even without the military token. They are all people who have followed me for decades, and the emperor's broken military token cannot control them at all.

I will arrange for someone to contact them as soon as possible, but what we lack most now is money.

Because I never thought the emperor would be so shameless as to take away all our savings."

After learning that the warehouse of the general's mansion had been robbed, Zhang Xinwu thought it was the emperor who did it, so he didn't even report it to the police because it would be useless.

He was willing to hand over the military power in the first place because he wanted to test the emperor, but he didn't expect that it would cost him his daughter's life!

The more than 20 soldiers he led have always been loyal to him. He followed his father into the military camp at the age of 15, and it has been decades now.

Every general in the army was promoted by his father or him, and many of them had followed him through life and death many times, so that military token was not too important to him.

The founding emperor and the previous emperor had always been good to the Zhang family. However, after the current emperor ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to kill many officials in the court or dismiss them from their posts. He almost reshuffled the court all of a sudden. The more he did this, the fewer people were loyal to him.

"It's okay, Dad. Many things are up to human effort.

Moreover, the natural disaster that has occurred now has also given us a great opportunity. If we don’t seize it this time, our Zhang family will never have a chance to turn things around in the future.

Over time, people's hearts will change. It's not too late for Dad to change his mind now."

It has only been a few months since we handed over the military power. If you want to lead the troops out now, there is still a great chance, but it is hard to say after a long time!

Zhang Zhuohao used to feel that he could not be a normal man, so he would not interfere too much with his father’s choices or actions.

But now that he has a wife and children, he is unwilling to be exiled, as that would mean his children would never have a chance to succeed, and his wife would have to suffer with him.

Now that the Zhang family has not completely lost, he wants to take a chance and give his wife and children a better future!
