Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

At night, Shen Nanshan was restless in the guest room, pacing back and forth.

This look made Yao Shu upset, and she said helplessly: "What are you doing?"

"I always feel uneasy, so I might as well write a letter to the boss and ask him to respond to us in advance." Shen Nanshan said and began to take out a pen and paper to write a letter.

Yao Shu sighed helplessly: "Do you think the boss doesn't want to come to meet us? Their army can only be located west of the Taihang Mountains. If they cross the border and are tampered with by others, they may be accused of treason. These days, the boss She also writes letters from time to time asking about our safety, and I know she is naturally worried about us."

After Yao Shu finished speaking, she turned to look outside.

"We have encountered the Huns before. There is nothing to fear about the Huns. They are just a bunch of brainless people. This time we have brought so many people, so naturally we don't need to be afraid. What I am most worried about now is not the Huns, but the Huns. It’s the security situation in the Western Region.”

What the man said just now made Yao Shu even more worried about the situation in the Western Region.

She didn't know if Shen Fugui could handle it alone, and she didn't know what the situation was like in the Western Region.

According to the words of several elder brothers, the Western Region seems to have powerful forces.

The previous official seemed to have suddenly resigned and returned to his hometown, so he gave the position to Shen Fugui.

Combined with what the elder brother said, it is very likely that this official was forced to leave.

According to Shen Fugui's temperament, although he looks docile, he is also an extremely stubborn person. If he met such a person, he would definitely want to confront him head-on.

"Boss Shen, Mrs. Shen, is it convenient for you now?"

Li Chen's voice came from outside.

Yao Shu and Shen Nanshan immediately lowered their voices and stopped discussing the conversation.

Shen Nanshan opened the door and saw Li Chen standing outside the door with some restraint.

"Master Li, why are you here now?"

Seeing that it was already midnight, most people would not choose to knock on the door at this time.

Li Chen subconsciously looked around to make sure no one was staring at them, and then said softly: "I just learned about the situation in the Western Regions, and it seems to be related to my little brother. My little brother went to the Western Regions, and not only was he not exiled The prisoner's punishment made him become a local gangster."

"Did your father order him to become like this?" Yao Shu felt very shocked.

Although she had long expected that the Minister of Etiquette would pamper his youngest son, she did not expect that he would dote on him to such an extent.

After hearing this, Shen Nanshan was extremely surprised: "Why would someone spoil his son like this? Logically speaking, as the Minister of Rites, he should set an example."

"If he could lead by example, he wouldn't be my father." Li Chen was very disappointed when he said this.

Yao Shu felt particularly distressed and sighed subconsciously: "It doesn't matter, let's take it one step at a time. But if your brother really becomes a local gangster, will you choose the Li family or the common people?"

In front of Yao Shu, Li Chen would naturally say to choose the common people. But Yao Shu believed that what he said was not lying to her, but his true feelings.

In the past few days, she could feel that Li Chen was sensible and at least trustworthy.

Thinking of this, Yao Shu sighed softly.

She whispered: "Just take it one step at a time. At least we believe that you are different from your brother."

"Thank you, Boss Shen and Mrs. Shen, for being so kind."

Yao Shu and Shen Nanshan looked at each other and smiled, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

After a moment, Shen Nanshan waved his hand: "You are a good boy, and we all believe that you will succeed one day. I hope you will not forget your original intention, and at least be different from your brother."

"I will." Shen Nanshan nodded silently.

Early the next morning, they set off to prepare for their next stop.

When entering the Taihang Mountains, they could clearly feel the sudden drop in temperature.

Although the weather is getting warmer now, it is still early spring after all.

They walked into a town and found that the atmosphere here still retained the atmosphere of the New Year, with lights and colors everywhere, making people feel happy.

"I didn't expect the festive atmosphere here to be so heavy. It hasn't been taken down yet." Shen Bei looked around curiously.

Seeing his appearance, Yao Shu shook her head helplessly: "Don't act like you have never seen the world. People who don't know think it's your first time going out."

"Aren't I too excited? We have seen many bad people along the way, but we have never seen such a lively scene as now." Shen Bei sighed sincerely.

The princess couldn't help but joked: "Didn't you see it during the last sacrificial ceremony?"

When Shen Bei heard this, he was immediately shocked: "What the princess said is serious, you must not say that."

His appearance made the princess couldn't help but laugh.

Several people came to the inn and began to ponder whether they should find the local county magistrate in advance.

Based on their past experience, if their identities were informed in advance, a lot of trouble might be reduced. But in this way, you will also be targeted by others, and there are risks.

After some hesitation, several people decided not to tell the county magistrate first.

Just when they were about to stroll down the street, a woman suddenly threw herself into Shen Bei's arms in a panic.

Shen Bei didn't react and subconsciously took a step back, but the woman held him tightly and couldn't get away no matter what.

"Brother, please save me." The woman was wearing a red undershirt and looked like she was about to get married.

Yao Shu reacted quickly and immediately protected the woman in her arms.

She then turned to look at Li Chen, who immediately took out a coat from the inn and put it on the woman.

A set of movements flowed smoothly without any delay.

After protecting the woman in her arms, seeing that her face was still exposed, the princess immediately took off her veil and covered her face.

Seeing that there was no problem, Yao Shu and others immediately pulled him into a teahouse nearby.

Just as they were pretending to drink tea, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly rushed in.

They looked around, mainly when they saw a woman, they immediately took out a portrait and compared it carefully.

This appearance made Yao Shu frown subconsciously. She didn't expect that they would observe so carefully. In this way, wouldn't it be easy to see what a woman looks like.

Seeing the woman's nervous look, Yao Shu knew that what the woman feared the most was this group of officers and soldiers.

"I don't know what the situation is now. Please don't say anything for a while." Yao Shu warned her repeatedly, and then pretended to be calm.
