When the carriage drove out of the city gate, it began to drizzle again, and the wheels ran over the uneven road, and the sound of cooing was endless.

The cool spring breeze blows the curtains of the lattice windows, and penetrates the damp and chill.

Jiang Shu has been watching the scene outside the window along the way. It was just fine in the city. After all, it is the capital of the Wei Kingdom. No matter how cold and lonely, the heritage of many years is still there. Walking through the wide and straight roads, there are many buildings around, and many buildings are magnificent. The prosperity of the Taiping years can still be heard vaguely.

However, after leaving the city, the scenery immediately changed.

Under the heavy dark clouds, there is a desolate and desolate scene.

March was supposed to be the spring plowing season, but there were not half a farmer to be seen along the way, but rotten and smelly corpses wrapped in straw mats, and a few of them could be bumped into from time to time.

This is nothing, what is even more dazzling is the ubiquitous refugee team.

In order to avoid the attacks of wild beasts, most of the refugees travel together, so when they appear in groups, the visual impact they bring is particularly large.

A dusty group of people, men, women and children, all in ragged clothes, hungry and skinny, supported each other on the road, and when they encountered a carriage, they panicked and evaded them, and they would fall to the ground if they were not careful, and their bodies were covered in wet mud , It's even more embarrassing than a wild dog in the water.

Jiang Shu couldn't describe the shock in his heart that the low-level people's livelihood, which he described in a few words, turned out to be such a miserable and terrifying scene in reality.

"Uncle, why are there so many beggars outside the city?"

Hearing the question, Jiang Shu put down the curtain and turned his head to meet a worried little face.

"Those should be refugees fleeing from the North."

"The people affected by the war?"

"good."

"Will there be people from Wuxing County among them?"

Wuxing County is also the place where the original owner's elder brother worked before his death. It was originally a county in Yiling County of Dongzhou. Now Yiling County has been occupied by Xianbei. It is afraid that there are few Wei people who can escape.

Jiang Shu could only answer: "Maybe."

Jiang Ze's immature brows were slightly frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he asked: "So many people fled south, could it be that the Huns are going to attack?"

Probably because his father died on the battlefield, Jiang Ze knew a lot about the battle in the Northland at a young age.

Jiang Shu touched his little head, and comforted him: "There is Qin Shishi guarding Duanmen, and there are reinforcements sent by Yongzhou. They will guard the pass and won't let those Donghu soldiers come over."

"What if I can't keep it?"

Jiang Shu was silent, unable to answer a single word.

It's not just in case, it's definitely impossible to keep.

Being watched by the child's pure eyes, Jiang Shu recalled the tired faces of Yuanben's father and second brother for no reason.

Jiang Ke was nearly sixty years old, and his temples were frosty and white. Jiang Xian was in his prime, but weak and weak. Both of them were not in good physical condition.

Under such circumstances, these two people are still conscientious and diligent in their official duties. If it is for the sake of political achievements and experience, Jiang Shu feels that there is no need to do this. They should be good officials who really worry about the livelihood and safety of the people. .

Seeing that Jiang Shu didn't answer his question for a while, Jiang Ze said suddenly: "Uncle, I want to go back."

"go back?"

"I want to stay in Xunyang with my grandparents."

"Aren't you afraid, Aze, Xunyang is not a good place to be right now."

Jiang Ze shook his head and said with a serious face: "In the past, my father faced Xianbei's tens of thousands of troops with thousands of soldiers and did not back down. Now that Xunyang is safe, why should I be afraid?"

Jiang Shu was stunned, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly felt his chest burning, and his mood was boiling like boiling water.

Obviously this child is fearless, but he felt that it was not an exaggeration to describe the other party's words as "awakening the dreamer with one word".

Thinking about it, he was really delusional, his thinking was restricted by the plot he wrote, and everything hadn't happened yet, so why didn't he want to make this effort to think of a way to solve the problem?

In the final analysis, it was because he was used to being alone, never had a family, and only thought of himself in everything, until now he realized how wrong he was.

Now he is no longer the lonely Jiang Shu in the past. Although he doesn't know where the original owner has gone, since he has become Jiang Shu, he should live as Jiang Shu.

Now he not only has parents, elder brother and nephew, but also a huge family, not to mention how he will stand in the future without the family, even if it is to repay the kindness of nurturing for the original owner, he should not just walk away like this of.

Jiang Ze pulled his sleeve: "Uncle?"

"You're right," Jiang Shu came back to his senses, "If Xunyang is safe and sound, what should we be afraid of?"

It is true that it is very difficult to defend Xunyang during the war, but it is not impossible.

It is true that he does not have the majestic talents and strategies of Qin Huang, Han Wu, but the vision and knowledge cultivated by standing on the shoulders of giants are not available to anyone in this era.

Moreover, he is also the author of this book. He has drawn a detailed map for this article, he is familiar with the distribution of various factions, he understands many major events in the next 30 years, and he knows the characters and behaviors of various people. He is much stronger than normal people.

If these capitals are not enough, doesn't he still have a game system?

Although the 100-year prostitution contract seemed a bit intimidating, no matter how unreliable it was, it shouldn't kill him.

Thinking about this, Jiang Shu made up his mind, raised his head and said to the boy servant outside: "Meng, stop the car and turn around and go back to the city."

Zhitao, who was serving at the side, raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Your Majesty, you shouldn't act impulsively!"

Jiang Shu knew that this girl probably received some mission from Mrs. Liu, such as supervising herself not to do absurd actions, and said: "If I just leave here, I will really act impulsively."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and asked the children beside him: "Aze has made a decision, do you want to go back to defend the city?"

The child nodded vigorously: "Yes."

Jiang Shushu raised his eyebrows: "Okay, then we will go back to the city together."

·

"Ridiculous! How can you be so reckless!"

When the carriage returned to the county office, Jiang Ke was taking his second son for lunch in the back hall, only to see his younger son who was supposed to be outside the city appear in front of him again, and claimed that he was not going to leave again and wanted to stay in Xun Yang and the Jiang family lived and died together.

"Aze is self-willed, how can you mess around with him!" Asking the maid to take his grandson to the back house first, Jiang Ke sat at the banquet and taught his youngest son, so angry that he didn't even need food.

Jiang Shu stood in the hall and said: "My son made this decision after careful consideration."

"Thought it out? Why didn't I see you thinking about it a few days ago?"

The decision to go away for refuge had been made a few days ago, and the original owner had never raised any objections, so it was really unreasonable to suddenly change his mind now.

However, Jiang Shu has his own considerations. He has different ideas and ideas from the original owner. Since he decided to stay, he will inevitably make more actions that are inconsistent with the original owner's character.

Rather than causing trouble in the future, it is better to plan early. A situation like this is a good opportunity to change the family's impression of yourself.

So after Jiang Shu thought for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Just now when the carriage drove out of the city gate, I saw the depression along the way and hundreds of refugees in exile, all naked and hungry, I was shocked!

"I never thought that when I was comfortable and enjoying myself, the people lived in such dire straits. After this incident, I realized how vulgar and vulgar my behavior of blindly arty, leisurely and unworkable in the past was, so I decided to return to Xunyang. From now on, I will change my mind and study hard. I hope that one day I can join my father and elder brother and contribute a little bit to the country and society."

After the words fell, the hall fell into an eerie silence.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shu would say such a thing, Jiang Ke and Jiang Xian looked at each other with strange expressions in their eyebrows.

"Ah Zi has such awareness, I am very pleased for my father." After a moment of silence, Jiang Ke coughed lightly and said in a slow tone, "But you have thought about it, if you bring Aze back, if one day Yan Qiao Trapped, how can my Jiang family blood continue?"

"Under the overturned nest, how can there be any eggs left? Right now, Yanqiao is trapped, and in the future, Xiangjun may also be besieged. Today's government is poor and the people are bad, and it is not safe to flee anywhere. It is better to fight hard than to hide and hide. Do your best to win a chance."

Speaking of this, Jiang Shu bent down and cupped his hands: "Although my son is not as smart as others, he still has the heart to save the country and the people. I hope my father will be fulfilled."

"Brother, are you serious?" Jiang Xian asked suddenly, his voice was clear and pleasant to the ears.

Jiang Shu straightened up and faced him and said, "Really."

Jiang Xian asked again: "Even if the enemy soldiers approach the city, are you not afraid?"

"It's better to be Lan Yuzhe than to be Xiao Fu and Ai Rong."

"It's good to say 'Don't be Xiao Fu and Ai Rong'!" Jiang Xian showed praise, and immediately got up and said to Jiang Ke: "Since my younger brother has the ambition to serve the country, I think I should not be discouraged."

Jiang Ke still has doubts about the change of his youngest son, but whether it is true or not, it is a good thing for Jiang Shu to have such an idea after all.

Under Jiang Xian's persuasion, he finally let go: "Forget it, this kind of courage and ambition are my disciples of the Jiang family."

Jiang Shu looked up in surprise, and hurriedly cupped his hands to the two elders: "Thank you father and brother for your success."

"Don't be too happy too early," Jiang Ke raised his hand to signal the servant to bring another meal, and admonished him, "If you want to stay in the city, you must concentrate on your studies and act respectfully. If you are still doing nothing like you used to , it would be better to go to your grandfather's house as soon as possible."

"Follow your father's teachings."

·

After having lunch with the two parents, Jiang Shu returned to his own courtyard in the back house.

Because of the master's return, Zhitao was leading two servants to shuttle back and forth between the stone paths to carry luggage.

The Jiang family was frugal and had very few servants. The only ones who were used to serving Jiang Shu were Zhitao, a servant girl and a boy who kept watch at night for him. Now the servant girl who helped carry and tidy up was sent by his mother.

Knowing that her son had brought her grandson back, it was natural for Liu Shi to come over to teach him a few words.

She also heard that her youngest son is now interested in learning, but she is relieved, but at the same time, she has other concerns.

"Tell me honestly, is there any other reason for not leaving Xunyang?" When standing under the corridor, Liu suddenly asked.

other reasons?

Jiang Shu didn't understand what she was referring to, worried that she would reveal her secrets, so she turned a corner and said, "Everything my son said in the back hall today came from the bottom of my heart. I stayed in Xunyang only for self-cultivation and further studies, and has no other purpose."

Hearing what he said, Mrs. Liu seemed to be relieved: "That's fine, I'll get someone to bring some slips from your father later, and from now on, you will stay at home and study hard, and don't think about those unrealistic things anymore. .”

"Listen to my mother." Jiang Shu still didn't understand what she was implying, so she responded first before speaking.

It was not easy to deal with Liu Shi, and as soon as the other party left, Jiang Shu lay down on the bed quite tiredly, and told Zhitao that she would take a nap for a while, and asked her not to disturb herself.

Zhitao smoked incense pills beside the bed curtain, and when she walked out of the room, she closed the door lightly.

The familiar scent of sweet-scented osmanthus wafted from the room. Jiang Shu leaned on the pocketbook, reached into his collar with his right hand to hold Yuchan, and summoned the game system with his mind.

After a while, the familiar white panel appeared before his eyes again.

After carefully observing the panel again, Jiang Shu held his breath, checked the voluntary terms at the bottom, raised his hand and clicked "Start".

"I'd rather be Lan Yuzhe than Xiao Fu Ai Rong." - "Shishuoxinyu·Words"
