Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

"Do you know how chaotic it is outside? Do you think the earthquake only occurred in the capital?" Hearing An'an's refusal, Earl Zhongyuan said with a gloomy face.

According to intelligence from the imperial court, not only the capital, but also the entire Jizhou Prefecture and Yanzhou Prefecture areas close to the capital have been affected to varying degrees. Even the intelligence from the imperial court cannot be fully collected in such a short time for places farther away, but the situation is certainly not optimistic.

In the face of Shi Zhengde's questioning, he had never said who Emperor Yongchang was. In fact, Emperor Yongchang was not one of the current princes, and was not even of royal blood.

Emperor Tai'an and the eldest prince both died in the earthquake. Although some princes were still alive, they were too young.

The lineage of King Jingyuan was the only king of the opposite sex in the Tianqi Dynasty. Because their great ancestor followed the founding emperor to build the country and they were as close as brothers, he was named the king of the opposite sex and enjoyed the hereditary system.

The Prince Jingyuan of this generation was very ambitious. He always thought that since his own ancestor had fought together with him to establish the kingdom, why shouldn't the throne be his?

It sounds nice to say that they are kings of a different surname, but in fact, every generation of emperors is wary of them and never gives them the chance to access real power.

Before, the court of the Tianqi Dynasty was stable and he had no chance to ascend to the throne. But now, God is not on his side and it is destined that the country will return to their Jingyuan King lineage!

And because Zhongyuan Bo loved to play, he and King Jingyuan had similar interests. When King Jingyuan came to power, he also benefited from it.

"No matter how chaotic it is outside, I won't go with you." Shi Anan was unmoved.

"Hmph, you have guts! I hope you don't come crying and beg me later! Let's go!" Uncle Zhongyuan swung his sleeves fiercely.

"Wait a minute!" Shi Anan shouted.

"Why, have you changed your mind?" Zhongyuan Bo looked at her coldly.

"No, I'm not looking for you. Shi Zhengde, put down my letter!" Shi Anan stared at Shi Zhengde with determination in her eyes.

"You--" Shi Zhengde didn't expect that this evil girl would bring up this matter again.

"What do you mean by giving me a letter?" asked Earl Zhongyuan with a frown.

"Shi Zhengde said that my mother and I disobeyed him and that he wanted to abandon my mother. He said he would write a letter of release as a concubine, and we agreed. But now he refuses to write it." Shi Anan said sternly. Anyway, she had to get the letter of release as a concubine today. Although they would not have the chance to cause trouble for them later, she still could not get the concubine even in name.

"Lord Zhongyuan, why don't you ask your sister if she wants Shi Zhengde to write a letter to release him as a concubine." Shi Anan dragged Fang into the water as well.

Does Fang want to? Of course Fang wants to, who wants her husband to have so many concubines?

Earl Zhongyuan turned his head and glanced at Fang, and saw the hope in her eyes.

At this time, An An could not be used by him, and he did not care whether they were still Shi Zhengde's concubines and daughters.

Then hurry up and write, don't waste time. Assist the emperor well, do you want any woman in the future?" Zhongyuan Bo urged impatiently.

"Ah?" Shi Zhengde was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Earl Zhongyuan would ask him to write a letter to release his concubine. He didn't really want to let Aunt Liu go.

However, he was right. Now that Emperor Tai'an was gone, the new emperor was in need of talented people. As long as he worked hard, he might be able to serve the emperor well and be awarded a title or something.

By then, he had nothing he wanted.

"But I don't have a pen and paper now." Shi Zhengde figured it out and finally gave in. Would Shi Anan let him fail to let his concubine write because he didn't have a pen and paper?

She was seen rummaging around in her sleeves, actually taking out a crumpled piece of paper and a charcoal pencil from her backpack, and handed them to Shi Zhengde, "I have it, write it quickly!"

Seeing Shi Anan so enthusiastic, Shi Zhengde felt a little strange, but since Earl Zhongyuan was already urging him, he didn't dare to waste any more time and started writing quickly.

It’s just that I was the one who was supposed to release the concubine, but why do I feel like I’m the one who was released? It’s really frustrating.

After receiving the letter of release from concubine written by Shi Zhengde, Shi Anan showed it to Aunt Liu, who nodded at her. Then she carefully folded the paper and put it into her sleeve (actually in her backpack).

"There is one more thing. Since I am no longer your concubine, I am naturally no longer your daughter. From now on, just pretend that you don't have a daughter like Shi Anan!" Shi Anan is not the original owner, and she still wants to yearn for the illusory fatherly love.

"You-you think I want you to be my daughter? Get out of here!"

"Shi Chengze, you want to go with her too, right? Then don't acknowledge me as your father anymore. I don't have unfilial children like you!"

After Shi Zhengde finished speaking, he took Shi Chengzhi, Fang, and the servants to follow Earl Zhongyuan, and gradually disappeared from the sight of Shi Anan and others.

"Will you be sad if you don't acknowledge this father?" Shi Anan asked Shi Chengze. His situation was different from hers. After all, a child of this age needs his parents. Aunt Bai is gone and his father doesn't want him. Shi Anan was afraid that he would regret it.

"No, I won't. Ever since he disliked my aunt, I haven't wanted to consider him as my father. Sister, will you accept me?" Shi Chengze looked at Shi Anan eagerly. She was his only relative now.

"Of course I want you, as long as you don't regret it." Shi Anan pinched his face. Hmm, it felt pretty good.

"If the tea is not fat, the bandits will be rich..." Shi Chengze's face was pinched and he couldn't speak.

"Mom, I can call you mom from now on." Shi Anan said happily looking at Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu looked at her lovingly, then asked, "Should we continue to stay here?"

"Actually, I wanted to tell you today that I plan to leave here tomorrow. I don't know where to go. But I just heard from Lord Zhongyuan that the disaster-stricken areas are not only in the capital. I plan to go all the way south. If we see a suitable place to live on the way, we will stop."

"Mom, will you go with me?" Shi Anan asked uncertainly.

Because she herself felt that this plan was unreliable and had no destination, she was just searching aimlessly.

It is not the dog system that caused this phenomenon.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If mother doesn't go with you, who will she go with?" Aunt Liu, oh, I'll call you Liu from now on. Aunt Liu gave her a reproachful look.

"Then I feel relieved. What about you guys?" Shi Anan turned around and asked others.

"Miss, I will definitely follow you!" Fu Xin answered without hesitation.

"And me, you saved my life, so naturally I will follow Madam and Miss!" Ruyi also hurriedly expressed his opinion.

"I have no objection, but sister, if you pass by Jiangnan, can you go to my grandfather's house to take a look? I mean if you pass by." In fact, Shi Chengze was not sure whether his grandfather was still alive, but he thought that if he passed by and they were still alive, he would always tell them the news of Aunt Bai's death.

"Of course." Although she didn't know whether they would pass by Jiangnan this time, she could take him to Jiangnan alone once their lives were stable.

After spending some time together, Shi Anan was still very confident in Mu Shan's character. The other two people could get along well with Mu Shan and were not afraid of power, so they must have good character as well.

If possible, she also hoped that Mu Shan could go with them. Although she had systematic help here, they were all women, and the only man was still a child. If a team like theirs went out, they would be seen as fat sheep in the eyes of others.

After all, Mu Shan and others are adult men, tall and strong. Mu Shan also knows some martial arts, so he is quite intimidating when he is taken out.

But they were not her servants after all, and if they were unwilling to go with her, she could not force them.

Fortunately, Mu Shan and the other two did not have a definite destination, so they replied, "We have no destination for now, and we would like to follow the young lady first."

Seeing that Mu Shan agreed, the other two naturally had no objection.

One of these two men is named Wu Yang and the other is named Wu Hui. They are brothers. In their early years, their family was poor and they could not afford food. Then their old father fell ill and needed a lot of money to buy medicine. They had no choice but to sell themselves to the Shi family who offered the highest price as slaves. Although they failed to save their old father in the end, at least they had fulfilled their filial piety.

Wu Yang and Wu Hui are not well educated and have only a lot of strength. Although they are uneducated, they are very loyal, which is why they can become brothers with Mu Shan.

Hearing their answer, Shi Anan was very happy: "Okay, let's go together tomorrow. If you want to leave when we get to the right place, then you can leave."
