Chapter 70 The Great Retreat

 In order to survive, people’s limits are unpredictable.

In just three days, the army traveled three hundred miles.

"Zhu Meng, I will give you three thousand men to serve as vanguards and reach Dashan Pass first."

"As you command——"

By the time Zhu Yixi arrived in Xi'an, the entire city of Xi'an was already in chaos.

All the officials, including Governor Feng Shikong, had already packed their bags and headed for Shanxi. He couldn't even see the tail.

Only the Prince of Qin's Mansion was still hesitating at this time.

"Haha, His Highness the King of Qin is willing to sacrifice his life!"

Zhu Yixi said to the worried Zhang Shijiong.

The latter said helplessly: "Your Highness is really hard to persuade."

Zhu Yixi rushed straight into the palace. Looking at the young King Qin and the gold and silver jewelry on the ground, he couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, are you still not leaving? Are you waiting for Li Zicheng to come and collect the body for you?"

"Um, Yixi, there are hundreds of thousands of acres of land outside Xi'an City. Do we have to give it to Li Zicheng?"

King Qin Zhu Cunji said with a look of reluctance.

"If you don't let it go now, the rest of the family won't let it go to you either."

Zhu Yixi sneered, and said unceremoniously to the nephew of King Qin:

"I will go to Hanzhong at 10:00 tomorrow. If I am late, I will not wait. You can do whatever you want."

When Zhang Shijiong saw this, he could only shake his head and try to persuade him again.

As soon as he left Prince Qin's mansion, he was suddenly stopped by an old man. He opened his mouth and said affectionately: "Uncle Wang, long time no see."

"Huh?" Zhu Yixi was startled. This title seemed so familiar. When he looked carefully, he saw that his beard and hair were gray. Isn't this Prince Yongshou whom he met during the New Year Festival?

The Qin vassal has always had few heirs. For more than two hundred years, there have only been ten princes. But now the Yongshou prince is the only existing prince.

The remaining nine will either have their heirs extinct and the country exterminated, or like Zhu Yixi's lineage of King Heyang, they will gradually lose their titles and disappear from the public.

"Prince, I became an official and have been removed from my title."

Zhu Yixi shook her head and corrected softly.

"Where can it be done?"

As Zhu Cunsang got older, his beard trembled and he said hurriedly: "Once you are Uncle Wang, you will always be Uncle Wang. The title is gone, but it is still there in the family tree!"

"Okay!" Zhu Yixi laughed dumbly. Seeing his age, she couldn't help but said: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Well, Uncle Wang, I heard that you are leaving, can you take my family with you?"

Zhu Cunsang asked hurriedly, his face full of expectations.

"Just bring some direct descendants!"

Zhu Yixi sighed and said: "If you want to be a side branch, just leave if you want!"

"Thank you, Uncle Wang." Zhu Cunsang thanked with a smile.

How shameless!

Zhu Yixi shook her head, and quickly went to the craftsman's camp, asking everyone to pack up, and set off tonight.

"My lord, you and the craftsman camp are the first to go ahead. We already have a vanguard to open the way."

"What's wrong with Inspector Sun?" Wang Xi was stunned and asked in a deep voice: "These days, some bad news is always coming, but there is nothing about the situation of Inspector Sun."

"Superintendent, he was wounded by an arrow and doesn't have much time left. He plans to stay at Tongguan to cut off our rear."

Zhu Yixi looked gloomy and sighed.

"That's it..."

Wang Xi trembled all over, and then he breathed a deep sigh of relief: "This is all fate!"

"Please clean up quickly!"

Zhu Yixi supported him and then said: "It will be fine if you go to Hanzhong."

Regarding the arrangements for the exodus, the craftsman camp naturally went first, and Li Jingwu led the cavalry to open the way in front.

Next, of course, is the Governor's Palace.

When Zhu Yixi arrived at the Governor's Mansion, he saw his family gathered in the hall, with anxious faces on their faces.

Although Mrs. Zhang was also panicked, she was still the head of the family. When she saw Zhu Yixi, she hurriedly asked: "How is your supervisor?"

"The Governor is seriously ill and has no choice but to cut off the defense of the city and win a chance for us."

Zhu Yixi said a little unbearably.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, several concubines burst into tears and started crying.

The two eldest ladies also covered their faces with their hands, their eyes were red, and they were obviously extremely uncomfortable.

Mrs. Zhang held back her tears and said, "Are you here to pick us up?"

"That's right!" Zhu Yixi said in a deep voice: "Before leaving, the Superintendent asked me to ensure your safety."

"I will go to Hanzhong on this trip. I hope my wife will pack up as soon as possible and leave overnight today."

With that said, Zhu Yixi was about to leave, and after almost crossing the threshold, she turned around and said, "Madam, please don't worry, the supervisor has shown great kindness to me, and he will definitely keep the Sun family safe."

After saying that, he quickly left.

"Mother!" Several children came over, their faces full of tears.

"Hurry up and clean it up!" Mrs. Zhang covered her mouth, looked at the family, and said sadly: "Your father sacrificed his own life in exchange for our survival. We can't delay his arrangements."

"Don't ask for anything heavy. Pick up something light."

"yes!"

Several people walked away slowly with their eyes red from crying.

"Sister, what should we do in the future?"

The damselfly's chubby little face has lost some weight due to the bad news these days.

"It's okay!" Xue Niang held her sister's little hand, with a little firmness in her beautiful eyes: "Aren't there still mother and me? Don't worry, it will be okay."

"Yes!" Nodding fiercely, the damselfly threw herself into her sister's arms. Feeling the softness, she couldn't help but shed tears on her clothes.

After settling the Sun Mansion, Zhu Yixi came to Jinxianguan again to handle his private affairs.

“We can’t wait in Xi’an anymore, let me go!”

Looking at Miao Xian's delicate face, Zhu Yixi felt full of happiness, especially wearing a Taoist robe, facing the mountain breeze, which made her feel quite fairy-like.

Of all the women I have seen, she is the most beautiful.

Miaoxian's expression changed, she looked back at Jinxian Temple, and said softly: "My master and the others?"

"Of course, let's go together."

Zhu Yixi chuckled, her face gradually getting closer.

Feeling the man's breath, Miao Xian's face turned red and she said helplessly: "Young man, what do you want to do?"

"Sorry, I just felt like I saw a fairy and couldn't help myself."

Zhu Yixi smiled.

"Huh!" Miao Xian wrinkled her nose and snorted dissatisfiedly when she heard this. Then she couldn't hide it, and there was a hint of shyness in her beautiful brown eyes:

"My master said that if you are not married yet, you cannot go beyond that."

"Really?" Zhu Yixi heard this and said happily: "Can I collect some interest in advance?"

After saying that, without waiting for the latter's reaction, he kissed her smooth forehead.

In Miao Xian's embarrassment, Zhu Yixi left happily, waved her hands and said: "We will meet at Yongning Gate at two o'clock tonight."

Watching the man leave, Miaoxian's eyes were watery and her face was full of reluctance.

"Alas!" Master Miaofa came out at this time: "It's not like we're about to say goodbye, we'll see you later."

"Master!" Holding Miaofa's arm, Miaoxian couldn't help but coquettishly said.

"Please pack up quickly. It's a blessing to be able to leave Xi'an."



By night, thousands of people had gathered outside Yongning Gate in Xi'an City.

It’s so lively with the whole family.

Jiangying camp, plus the Sun family, Jinxian Temple, and two thousand soldiers.

"Brother Li, Zhu Meng has already opened the way ahead. Please take good care of these people. I will follow them tomorrow."

"Don't worry, everything is guaranteed." Li Jizu patted his chest and said.

Zhu Yixi nodded.

Looking back, he saw Miaoxian's beautiful eyes with a smile. On the other side, the Sun Mansion's carriage and the two beautiful eldest ladies were also staring at him non-stop.

However, the craftsmen with their families were full of expectations.

It's more than three hundred miles from Xi'an City to Dashanguan. I hope it goes smoothly!
