After the system ran, I took off with my family

Chapter 69: Prince Liang Revolts and Meets Cavalry

The car swayed along for a whole day. On the second day, the official road was no longer muddy, so the team sped up their journey. The words of Master Lan gave them a sense of urgency.

In the following days, they only stopped to rest when it got dark, and they continued on their journey eating dry food at noon.

After rushing for five or six days, the team passed through Ji County. They did not enter the city, but continued on their journey along the official road.

That night, the team stopped on a small road beside the official road.

The path was overgrown with weeds and looked like no one had walked on it for a long time.

Lin Shuyue and a few others used knives to clear a space on the path and sprinkled insect and ant repellent around it.

After dinner, everyone returned to the carriage to rest. Lin Shuyue was not sleepy and sat alone on the top of a big tree, in a daze.

Suddenly, she noticed a fire on the official road, but she couldn't see clearly because of the trees.

After thinking for a while, she silently flew to a big tree beside the official road and looked down.

I saw hundreds of people holding torches, pushing carts, and walking on the official road with their families.

They all kept their mouths shut, with panic and confusion on their faces. Some of the children on the cart had their mouths covered by adults, as if the adults were afraid that the children would cry out.

Looking at this group of people traveling overnight, Lin Shuyue had a bad guess in his mind.

I'm afraid that Prince Liang has rebelled and started arresting people without restraint.

Thinking of this, she hurried back to the camp.

"Dad, Mom, everyone, pack up quickly, we can't stay here anymore!"

Everyone had just laid down, and when they heard her words, they didn't ask why, but quickly packed up their things.

Lin Shuyue rode Xiao Hei in front, and Lin An and others drove their cars to catch up, and soon they returned to the official road.

As soon as they returned to the official road, Lin An and others discovered the fire of the team ahead, and then asked Lin Shuyue what was going on.

Lin Shuyue told everyone her guess. Everyone was a little shocked, but not panicked.

The carriage soon caught up with the crowd ahead.

When the last few families in the team saw the carriage catching up from behind, they thought it was soldiers coming, so they were so scared that they ran away, shouting that soldiers were coming.

In an instant, the whole team was in a panic and the children were scared and burst into tears.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. We are not soldiers. We are also on our way." Lin Shuyue shouted loudly.

Hearing the voice of a little girl, the group of people were startled. The brave ones stepped forward to take a look.

When he found that they were indeed not officers and soldiers, he calmed down and looked at them vigilantly.

Lin An and others also got off the carriage and walked to Lin Shuyue.

"Who are you?" An old man walked out of the crowd.

Lin An stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Old man, we are coming from Anqing Prefecture, passing through Ji County and preparing to go to Wuzhou."

"Uncle, what happened? Why are you still on the road so late?"

When the old man heard Lin An's question, the sadness and grief of leaving home surged into his heart again.

“We are from the nearby Xiaohe Village, I am their village chief, my last name is Liu.

I'm afraid you don't know yet, but the one in the capital city has rebelled.

The first prince in the capital had passed away, and the third prince succeeded him.

But the man in the city was not convinced, and he rebelled early this morning under the banner of clearing out the imperial court.

They arrested people everywhere, and all men over the age of fifteen were taken into the army.

All the men in the villages near our county town were arrested.

Fortunately, someone in our village saw the soldiers arresting people and came back to inform us, so we packed up and fled overnight.

This world is in chaos, why is it so difficult for us to live...”

The old man became more and more excited as he spoke, and at the end he couldn't help choking up.

Lin An and his companions felt very sad when they saw this. They also felt bad when they thought that they had finally escaped from famine and came here, but now they had to hide from the war again.

"Village Chief, where are you planning to escape to?"

Liu He's eyes were a little confused. "Let's escape from Yuping Mansion first. If that doesn't work, go to Lianzhou next door and come back after the rebellion is quelled."

Several people were silent. No one could predict what would happen next.

After understanding the situation, Lin An and his group bid farewell to the people of Xiaohe Village and continued on their journey.

Lin Shuyue, Li and Lin Shuyan did not ride horses anymore. Instead, they took turns driving the cart with Lin An, Lin Shuyuan and Erlangzi. Lin Lei and he took turns driving Lin Gang's ox cart.

The group took turns driving the car for several days, encountering more and more people fleeing on the road.

On this day, they just stopped by the roadside to rest for a while.

Suddenly I saw the crowd on the official road behind me in panic, with many people screaming and running away.

Then they saw a group of hundreds of cavalrymen appear behind the crowd.

The cavalry quickly surrounded the crowd, aiming their bows and arrows at them, and the crowd instantly quieted down.

Lin An and the others' faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly drove the carriage forward.

"The carriage in front, stop!"

Lin Shuyue looked back while sitting in the carriage and saw a dozen cavalrymen chasing after them, pointing bows and arrows at their carriage.

Her heart skipped a beat and she immediately decided to strike first.

She took out a bow and arrow from the space, put the arrow on it, and aimed at one of the cavalrymen.

"Swish", it hit the man right between his eyebrows.

The cavalrymen beside him became furious when they saw this, and shot arrows at the ox cart at the back of the team.

"Second brother!"

Lin Shuyan immediately flew to Lin Gang's ox cart and blocked the incoming arrow with a "clang".

Lin Shuyue quickly put an arrow on the bow, aimed at the cavalrymen, and pulled the bow without hesitation.

In a moment, more than a dozen cavalrymen fell off their horses.

Seeing that the crisis was over, Lin An breathed a sigh of relief and continued to drive the carriage forward.

After galloping for an hour, they stopped to rest for a while when they saw that there were no soldiers chasing them.

Lin Shuyue put spiritual spring water into the bucket and asked Lin Shuyan to share it with everyone.

He carried a small bucket and fed the horses, mules and cows with spiritual spring water.

After a short rest, everyone set out again.

There were more and more people fleeing the war on the road, and even Lin An and his party's carriage could not move fast enough.

Lin Shuyue looked at the huge crowd and felt very anxious.

If soldiers appeared at this time, we could capture a large number of them.

Whatever you think comes true.

When they passed a bend, they saw rows of cavalrymen standing there with bows and arrows pointed at them. They estimated that there were several hundred of them.

"Everyone stand still, or you will be shot to death!"

The leading soldiers looked ferociously at the panicked crowd.

Lin An and others were in the middle of the crowd. Lin Shuyue looked around quietly.

I found that there seemed to be a small path on the left side of the official road, but it was overgrown with weeds and could not be seen clearly.

"Dad, when the chaos starts, you take the lead and run to the short tree on the left.

There should be a road there. If the road is difficult to travel, give up the carriage."

Lin Shuyue whispered in Lin An's ear.

Lin An nodded, and passed the message to Lin Gang and others, asking them to follow him closely.

The common people on the official road were confronting the cavalry.

Suddenly, a man in the crowd shouted, "Run!"
