When the two of them were talking, no one noticed that a red light flashed on Xie Linlin's forehead.
The night passed quickly.
Early the next morning, Miao Honglian took Xie Linlin to bury her uncle, and then continued on her way in Niu Xiaosheng's carriage.
In less than an hour, they arrived at a county called Shanpi County.
At this time, a large number of civilians were repairing the city walls and moats. Obviously, the beast tide last night did not cause the county to fall, but it was normal. After all, the blood moon had passed for so many days, and all parts of the Chu Kingdom had also reacted.
A large number of troops were sent to various counties to defend themselves. In addition, Emperor Chu also ordered each major sect to send disciples down the mountain to assist the local area in protecting the people.
Although Blood Moon can turn a large number of ordinary animals into monsters in a short period of time, the stronger the monsters, the slower the improvement. Therefore, at this stage, most of the monsters in the beast tide are monsters below level five.
Those who reach level six or above rarely appear.
As long as there are a large number of garrison troops stationed and several strong men from the Wuzong stationed there, holding a county seat is not a difficult task at present.
After a year or two, a large number of monster beasts above level five appear in the beast tide. This is the real test for the human race.
"This county seems quite safe, why not place those children here."
Miao Honglian suggested.
"Go and have a look first."
Yi Wuming looked at Niu Xiaosheng and said.
With so many children, it would be great if the county government could take them in and place them there. He was worried about leaving the children there without the government taking care of them and letting the children fend for themselves. In this way, the children would be left behind.
It just hurts them.
Niu Xiaosheng pondered for a moment, the carriage slowly landed, and then he rode his horse and led the carriage behind him towards Shanpi County.
"Everyone, hurry up. The beast tide is coming again tonight. Repair the city wall to better resist the beasts. Don't be lazy!"
The official in charge of supervising the work shouted loudly.
At the city gate, in addition to the vehicles pulling carts of stones, there are also some convoys leaving the county and preparing to go to the capital. Although Shanpi County has withstood the attack of the beast tide these days, no one can guarantee how long it can last.
, so some wealthy families who have the conditions began to move.
Compared with these small counties, large cities like Fucheng with heavy military guards make them feel safer.
After being briefly questioned at the city gate, the group was released.
After passing through the city gate corridor and walking along the street, the city was extremely deserted. There were very few people walking around on the street, and most of the shops on both sides were closed.
Yi Wuming drove the carriage carrying the children to the county government office, while Niu Xiaosheng went to buy supplies with his family.
Half an hour later, they met at the city gate as promised. It was easy to tell from Yi Wuming's ugly face that the result of his visit to the Yamen was not very satisfactory.
"It's too much. This dog official refused to accept those children. It seems that he will continue to trouble Brother Yan."
After Yi Wuming saw Niu Xiaosheng, his face was full of embarrassment.
"This is indeed difficult to handle. If even Fucheng doesn't accept it, what are you going to do?"
Miao Honglian asked Yi Wuming.
"Let's talk about it when we get to Fucheng. If it doesn't work out, I'll buy a house and ask someone to take care of them."
"You are such a good person."
Miao Honglian felt bad.
"There is no other way. You can't just ignore it. Okay, let's hurry up and get on with it."
······
Three days later, Niu Xiaosheng arrived at Qinghe Prefecture, the capital city.
Just as they guessed, the entire city was already overcrowded at this time. The emperor had to order the city gates to be closed and let the people go elsewhere. However, those people narrowly escaped death and finally came to the city. They just left like this.
, so a large number of people gathered outside the city, trying every possible means to enter the city.
Soon, some big businesses in the city saw the profits and began to sell their quota to enter the city.
"It's settled, we can go in."
Relying on his status as a disciple of Wanjian Villa, Yi Wuming tried his best to get the qualification to enter the city.
"You guys go in, I'm going to continue on my way."
Niu Xiaosheng doesn't plan to go to the city. Now with a big family, it would be safer to go back to Daoyigong as soon as possible.
"In that case, we are destined to meet again."
Although Yi Wuming was reluctant to give up, he was also very free and easy.
"See you soon!"
Niu Xiaosheng held up his hands, led the three carriages and flew away, quickly disappearing from the horizon.
"Let's go too."
Yi Wuming withdrew his gaze and turned to Miao Honglian.
"Linlin, did you still have nightmares last night?"
Miao Honglian looked at Xie Linlin beside her with concern.
"there is none left."
Xie Linlin shook her head, with a trace of worry in her eyes.
Naturally, such a clumsy lie could not be hidden from Miao Honglian. She sighed, "You kid, forget it. I'll send you to the Dao Palace first and let the elders help you find out what's going on."
Since that day, Xie Linlin has been having nightmares every night for the past few days. Because of this, her complexion is also very bad. Miao Honglian originally planned to teach her to enter meditation, but in this state, it was impossible to do it.
"You won't follow me into the city?"
Yi Wuming's eyes lit up.
"No, please remember to help Linlin keep an eye on the Xie family. If they arrive in Fucheng, send me a message."
Miao Honglian handed Yi Wuming a transmission talisman.
"No problem, hold me."
Yi Wuming nodded quickly in response.
After Miao Honglian led the people away, Yi Wuming could not suppress a look of excitement on his face, he was finally free, long live freedom.
"Children, let's go too."
He waved his hand and led a group of children towards the city gate.
After parting ways with Yi Wuming and others, Niu Xiaosheng and his family traveled on the road during the day and relied on the Taoist temple for shelter at night. There were no dangers along the way until they finally arrived at the mountain gate of Taoist Palace.
"You guys wait here for a moment, I'll go notify Junior Brother Niu."
Niu Xiaosheng said something to everyone, walked up the long stairs, took off his mask in front of the mountain gate, restored his appearance, and then turned around and walked down the mountain.
"Eggs!"
Seeing her son, who was wearing a dragon and tiger brocade robe and having an imposing figure, Wang Cuihua immediately rushed up and hugged him tightly, "I miss you so much, mother. Why haven't you sent me a letter back to me for so long? Let me.
Let me take a look, they are all thinner and darker."
"Have I lost weight?"
Niu Xiaosheng blinked. He seemed to have been gaining weight. It was true that he had turned a little darker. After all, he had been traveling outside these days.
"Niudan, why don't you see your senior brother Yan? He traveled thousands of miles to escort us here, you have to thank him properly."
Niu Fugui came over and said.
"Oh, he has something to go back to. Let me tell you. Sister, they are still waiting for us on the mountain. I will take you in first."
Niu Xiaosheng quickly changed the topic.
Afterwards, the group came to the cliff courtyard of Longhu Peak. When they saw Niu Xiaosheng and the others, Niu Wanwan and the Daya sisters were naturally very happy. Especially the Daya sisters, hugging Niu Chun and crying about how difficult it was for them to be here.
Seeing the whole family reunited, Niu Xiaosheng finally felt a lot more at ease.
