"On the other side of the imperial court is General Zhenbei's army. General Zhenbei is the biological father of that mighty general who was born with supernatural powers. He has been stationed at the coastal pass on the border between us and the White Crane Kingdom in the north."
When Old Man Qi saw Qi Bao'er getting up, he hurried over and took him into his arms.
Then both the grandfather and grandson looked at Qi Kangan simultaneously and said: Oh, oh, oh, you continue.
"The old man said that it takes half a year [about three months] from the Yuezhou Kuaima along the sea pass, which is far away. At that time, he saw that the military tents stationed outside Yuecheng were so far away that they were indispensable.
, I suspect that all of General Zhenbei’s 500,000 troops are there.”
Qi Kang'an followed suit and patted his thigh, looking very annoyed and regretful, "I didn't think at all that they were going to attack Yingzhou, so I was surprised that I took my eldest grandson into Yingzhou."
The old man received the letter and was going to Canaan City to see his daughter for the last time. After seeing his daughter off, he was about to leave with his eldest grandson. Good guy, it was too late. General Liu had already led his troops into Canaan City.
"It's really arresting and killing. Little brother, if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, then whoever is a soldier of our Qilin Kingdom, the bandits are stronger than them.
My son-in-law is stupid and poisonous. I'm still trying to think of a solution. He gave his daughter to General Liu's lieutenant in exchange for a chance to escape. As a result, the result..."
Neither Old Man Qi nor Qi Bao'er wanted to complain about him, how could he even imitate other people's crying, and yet he was so fake.
The old man's son-in-law didn't understand the man's temper and took the initiative to die. The whole family's life was at stake, and his family was among the first batch of people pushed off the city wall.
Old man Qi sighed and said, this man still has to live according to his conscience.
"They didn't dare to open the city gate to let us out even after giving us money. My eldest grandson was a bit skilled, so they made a place at the top of the wall in the middle of the night. We escaped over the city wall."
Climb a city wall?
Are all the city walls in Yingzhou so easy to climb?
Qi Kangan finally spoke normally about the refugees in the hinterland:
"They are not all from the same place. The one in the long gown is from Luhou Village in front of Sanhe Town. Most of the people who surrounded us in the morning are also from Luhou Village.
The old man said that he met people from Luhou Village outside Sanhe Town. At that time, there were more people in Luhou Village than now. It was a big village, similar to ours now, with at least six to seven hundred people.
At that time, Sanhe Town clearly marked the price to the other towns. It was ten taels of silver per person. If they didn't have any money, they could just exchange it for something. They also wanted grain and cloth.
In Luhou Village, the man wearing a long gown was chatting with the people in Sanhe Town. People passed through the town one by one. Except for the elderly, men and women were not allowed to be children. They passed each other one by one.
So now the number of people in Luhou Village is less than half than before.
The old man said that people from Luhou Village had their things robbed even after they entered the town, and those people destroyed them without looking at them, so they were only allowed to pass through Sanhe Town."
The old man Qi had a sullen face and didn't know what he was thinking.
Qi Bao'er, Qi Bao'er's mind has gone astray.
In the Qilin Kingdom, generally only people who have spare money in their pockets and do not have to do any work, or people with status, such as scholars who have won the title of Scholar or Juren, will wear long gowns.
Therefore, wearing a long gown here is a symbol of status. In some places, there are even explicit regulations that ordinary people are not allowed to wear long gowns.
For farmers like them who have to work in the fields, their clothes only reach to the thighs and close to the knees.
Firstly, they are used to it, and secondly, it is convenient to wear them like this for work. They just took ready-made clothes from the Wu Mansion, and their long gowns were also cut into short hexagrams for wearing.
The one her father was wearing was altered from the clothes of the male master of the Wu family. She said her father looked like a big boss when he put it on.
The man wore a long gown and was from the village, and the people in Luhou Village were obviously very convinced of him now.
This reminded Qi Bao'er of being a scholar or a scholar.
Just like in their village, Qi Wenfang, a prominent figure, had done almost nothing along the way, but he was still respected by the villagers.
The reason why their family became the leader in less than half a month is inseparable from the fact that all the men in the family have read and are currently studying.
Qi Kang'an also thought of this and spat fiercely: "The book has been read into the dog's belly."
Qi Baoer glanced at Silly Dad indifferently. Reading can only prove that this person's family is willing to support him. Being able to be admitted as a scholar or a scholar or even become a Jinshi can only prove that this person is smart enough or just lucky.
.
None of it represents character.
However, in this era, in the eyes of many, many people, it seems that being able to read is a symbol of character.
Qi Bao'er has read the books read by Qi Kangtai and several Liangs, and they are all inseparable from the "Three Character Classic", "The Classic of Filial Piety", "Zhezhong of the Book of Changes", "Book of Rites", "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", "History"
On these.
How can your character be so bad after reading a book like this?
Old man Qi asked: "How many people are following?"
"What I can see is about one or two hundred, and I don't know how far it is." As he said that, Qi Kang'an looked at the beads in Qi Bao'er's hand.
You have to take a look at it at night to be sure.
Old man Qi turned his head and looked far behind, and after a moment of silence he said:
"It took us nearly a day and a half to walk the narrow cliff road at the other end. It should be similar here. After leaving the narrow cliff road, we had to stop and rest anyway."
Qi Kang'an thought of a question: "Dad, even if the road doesn't get wider by then, there will no longer be cliffs on the left and right, wouldn't it..."
At least a hundred people were following them, and they were all extremely hungry. When they saw them starting to get food, and the smell wafted over them, why didn't they come up and grab it like crazy?
Old man Qi asked him: "Do you think those people behind us saw that we had no food?"
It was necessary. When they passed through the hinterland, every refugee wouldn't look straight at him.
"Then why are they still following?"
The number of people is still smaller than them, and even if they are really doing it, they are not at the same level as the hand-held guys.
"In order to...,,, find a way out."
From what Anzi just learned, whether it's to prevent danger later or to protect those around you, the hinterland is not a place where you can stay for a long time.
"I can somewhat understand why those people stayed there. They lost everything once they passed Sanhe Town. They walked for another day or two before reaching the hinterland. We came all the way on our own and we didn't know what to do. How could we dare to go full on the way?
Made?
Sanhe Town is just behind, and during those two days, they were determined to not stop just like us. We still had dry food and wild vegetables picked before on the road. If there was no one in the hinterland, would we also stop and rest?
Leave again?"
Qi Kangan nodded, it must be.
Old man Qi continued: "In the hinterland, you must have noticed that this road should be often walked by people, and people often stop there as a resting place. The trees are not close together, and there are many wooden houses built there.
