Shen Zhiyan's eyebrows were indifferent: "Good words can't persuade the damned ghost, you have done very well."

"As for the rest, that is their fate, and no one can interfere."

No one objected to what he said, after all, it was the truth.

After dinner, we went home as there was still a lot of things to finish.

"Mom, let's pack up and go up the mountain early tomorrow morning!" Yu Lin said.

All the food and bedding in the house had been taken away.

Everything that couldn’t be taken away was hidden, although I didn’t know if it would be found.

The dairy sheep and rabbits in the pigsty and the chickens in the chicken coop were all taken to the mountain by Yu Lin yesterday.

Now there is almost nothing left in the house except for them.

Liu replied, "Okay, there's some flour and wild vegetables left. We need to bake them all into pancakes. We can avoid making a fire when we go up the mountain."

Fire creates smoke, which can also attract people.

Other people in the village did the same thing, making pancakes in advance so that they would not have to wait until the time came to see the food being left uneaten.

Shen Zhiyan went into the room to see Qiao Shuyuan.

Qiao Shuyuan is much better now.

"Shuyuan, I plan to go into the city, you can stay with your aunt and the others."

Qiao Shuyuan was stunned and immediately retorted: "No, I'll be wherever you are!"

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come here. Now you want to face it by yourself, it's absolutely impossible!"

Shen Zhiyan knew that she was in this temper, so he advised: "I know you are doing this for me, but our situation is special now, and we have finally saved the child. Do you want him to continue to be in danger?"

Qiao Shuyuan subconsciously covered her belly, feeling conflicted.

"Okay Shuyuan, I understand your thoughts. When this is over, can we still be together?"

Qiao Shuyuan remained silent, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Shen Zhiyan sighed. Now that he had made up his mind, he could no longer be soft-hearted.

It's not a separation between life and death.

Shen Zhiyan went out, said goodbye to everyone, and rode away on horseback alone.

After he left, he was nowhere to be seen the next day.

Mrs. Liu was so anxious that she was furious: "Where on earth has this child gone? He hasn't been seen for a whole day and night."

Qiao Shuyuan could also get out of bed at this time, after all, she had to go up the mountain with them.

"Mrs. Shen, are you okay?" Yang was a little worried.

Now everyone in the Yu family knows that Qiao Shuyuan is pregnant.

"I'm fine, Madam Yang."

"Brother Yan has gone to deal with the refugees. He won't come back until this matter is handled properly. Let's go first!"

Qiao Shuyuan gave a brief explanation and said nothing else.

But it was this one sentence that made everyone fall silent.

Youyou was tied tightly to Yu Lin's back.

When she heard Qiao Shuyuan's words, she immediately remembered something.

"My eldest sister's name is Shuyuan, and her husband's surname is Shen, and there is a character 'Yan' in his name. Is it that Yan? Is it the Yan in 'Ri'anyan' or 'Yantai'?"

"But the two people who fit this description seem to be Shen Zhiyan, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and Qiao Shuyuan, the youngest daughter of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion in the original book."

"These two are very important! The Duke of Zhenguo and the Duke of Dingguo are in-laws, and Shen Zhiyan and Qiao Shuyuan are both powerful figures on the battlefield!"

"In the original book, Shen Zhiyan and Qiao Shuyuan went to the battlefield two years later. They didn't have any children, and in the end they both died on the battlefield, and even their bodies were never found."

"The death of these two also caused the Duke Zhenguo Mansion and the Duke Dingguo Mansion to collapse instantly."

"But now that they are here, I'm afraid the Xiongnu in Yanmen Prefecture are already eyeing them covetously, right?"

"If the prince of Zhenguo Duke goes to deal with the refugee problem, then I guess the trouble here will be solved soon."

Yu Lin and Zhang felt numb all over and could only move their legs mechanically to climb up the mountain.

What did Youyou say?

Zhen Guo Gongfu?

Duke Dingguo’s Mansion?

Shizi?

Zhang couldn't help but glance at Qiao Shuyuan who was standing beside her with a calm expression.

Be nice!

This is the noble lady of the capital! The future female general!

No wonder climbing this mountain is as easy as walking on flat ground!

Zhang felt that she was somewhat restrained.

Qiao Shuyuan sensed something was wrong with her and asked with concern, "Sister Zhang, are you tired? If you are, give me some more of your food."

Zhang looked at the large and small bags in her hands and immediately shook her head: "No, no, I'm just worried that you are not used to walking on this mountain road. You are different now. If you are tired, just tell me."

Upon hearing this, Liu also warned: "What Yue Niang said is right. Although your body is stable now, you can't be careless."

Qiao Shuyuan smiled cheerfully: "It's okay, this little mountain road is nothing, my father has trained me since I was a child!"

"My father raised me as his son!"

When talking about her family, Qiao Shuyuan was happy from the bottom of her heart.

She also has a little nephew, who seems to be two months younger than Youyou.

I don’t know how my eldest sister is doing. If it weren’t for Concubine Hui, I’m afraid my eldest sister and my nephew would have been buried there.

Qiao Shuyuan's cheerfulness made Zhang feel a little relieved.

If it were one of the young ladies in the city, she would have probably refused to leave by now.

She is worthy of being a female general. She is different from those petty ones.

Zhang liked Qiao Shuyuan more and more.

"The matter of returning refugees is over. I want to make some amulets for them. The swords on the battlefield are blind. I don't want them to end up like that!"

"Does the Zhenguo Mansion really betray the country?"

Zhang's heart, which had just been put at ease, was lifted again.

Oh my goodness, is this audible?

Collaborating with the enemy?

Zhang wanted to close her ears for fear of hearing something even more shocking.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

At this time, Youyou didn't even finish his words and fell asleep on his father's back.

Only Yu Lin and Zhang were left with wild thoughts and restlessness.

It took them more than an hour to reach their destination.

This is a flat area, located deep in the White Mountains.

Along the way, we saw many trampled branches, proving that there was no road originally, but the villagers had forcibly created a path for it.

Each family left a person to look after things, and the person from the second branch of the Yu family was Taoist Priest Xuantian.

The first and third wives sent their two children up.

Taoist Xuantian followed everyone up the mountain on the first day and never came down again.

During these few days in the mountains, he has cut down a lot of trees and built a simple wooden house.

Many villagers came to ask for advice, and Taoist Xuantian generously taught them everything.

When Qiao Shuyuan saw Taoist Xuantian, shock flickered in her pupils.

She hurried forward and said, "Greetings, Taoist Priest." Her attitude was very respectful.

Taoist Xuantian looked puzzled. He had already changed out of his Taoist robes, so how did the woman recognize him?

"When Shuyuan was young, she met the Taoist priest at home."

"Beijing, Qiao family."

Taoist Xuantian seemed to recall the past and looked at her in surprise: "Why are you here?"

Qiao Shuyuan replied: "I was on my way to Yanmen Mansion with my husband and passed by here. My husband is from the Shen family in the capital."

Taoist Xuantian had a solemn expression, and seemed a little incredulous.
