The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Xu Yao understood that this meant that these people would not cry until they saw the coffin, and now they felt that there was still hope. Maybe Dingnan's soldiers would arrive soon, beat back all the invaders, and retake Wanzhou City, so they would not have to leave.

But Xu Yao didn't think so. She had a vague feeling that the Dingnan soldiers that day would not be the only deserters, and there would be more deserters in the future.

She decided to leave, not caring what others think. This is someone else's hometown, not hers.

She is just a wandering dandelion. If things don’t work out here, she will continue flying until she reaches a safe place and then land.

In view of her friendship with Kang Runyue, she found Kang Runyue and told her her own judgment, "Ayue, do you and your family want to stay or leave with me?"

Kang Runyue paused, seeming to be a little hesitant. "Sister, you know our family. In the early years, my father traveled all over Beichen, Dingnan and Dazhou for business. He originally managed a family business, but man proposes, God disposes. Our money was swallowed up by corrupt officials in Dazhou. In desperation, we finally settled in Dingnan. If Dingnan also falls, where can we go?"

They are not from Dingnan either. They are native residents of the Great Zhou, living on the border and making a living by working diligently in business.

But they want to live a peaceful life, but some people don't want them to live in peace.

Father Kang only made a little money, but was exploited again and again by those people, leaving him with nowhere to go.

After much difficulty, they settled down in the small town of Dingnan, established a family and started a business, and lived a peaceful life for several years.

Unexpectedly, war broke out again in Dingnan.

Not only Kang Runyue was confused, but the Kang family was also confused.

Brother Kang even felt hatred in his heart: "Why don't I join the army? Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it's better to fight a good battle. Maybe I can even make achievements."

Father Kang scolded him for having wild dreams. "With your body, if it weren't for your wife taking care of you, you would have collapsed long ago. You still want to lead troops to fight. In the barracks, you will be used as cannon fodder."

Brother Kang was speechless and could only sit back dejectedly. "This won't work, that won't work, so what should we do? Dad can't go back to Da Zhou, right? I don't want to go to that damn place anyway."

The daughter-in-law of the Kang family is an honest and decent person. She doesn't talk much when she comes here and has a low sense of existence. When she heard that she was going back to Da Zhou, she was also afraid.

Kang Runyue said: "How about we follow Sister to Beichen?"

"Beichen?" Old Man Kang sighed deeply, as if he had no other choice.

Actually, Father Kang wanted to go back to the Great Zhou, as it was his homeland after all. However, he was greatly disappointed by the corrupt officials of the Great Zhou.

He himself doesn't care, but in this chaotic world, letting his children return to such a place would be courting death, wouldn't it?

"Yes, we still have our cousin's family in Beichen to take refuge with. Even if things get bad, Beichen is a strong country, and we can do business there and live a stable life."

They had done business in Beichen before, and they had wanted to stay in Beichen. But because of Xu Yao's matter, they finally decided to go south to Dingnan.

Now that Xu Yao's injuries have healed, and she is willing to go to Beichen on her own initiative, the Kang family thought about it and decided to go with Xu Yao.

The next day, Xu Yao packed up and was ready to set off, but when he arrived at the door, he found that many people had also packed their luggage and wanted to go with them.

Xu Yao felt helpless when he saw this.

"It may not be safe for you to follow me. I don't know what dangers are waiting for you down the mountain. I can't protect so many of you by myself. Instead of following me, you should protect yourselves together."

Lin Shi came out. Xu Yao looked at him, wanting him to persuade these people. Unexpectedly, Lin Shi said, "Master, don't worry. We will follow you down the mountain, but we won't ask you to protect us alone. After what you said yesterday, we also know that this place is not a place to stay for a long time. It is safer to find a place with soldiers to protect us. So I want to take them to the county town. If you can go down the mountain with me, please take care of them."

Only then did Xu Yao realize that they were not going to go with him, but to the county town.

Xu Yao thought about it and said sincerely: "The governor has gone to the county town and never returned. I'm afraid the county town is not a safe place. You might as well change your route and go south to other places to have a look."

Many people looked at Lin Shi. It was obvious that Lin Shi was already their leader.

After thinking it over, Lin Shi decided to go down the mountain first.

They wanted to take people to the county town to check, after all, there were guards there.

If the soldiers guarding the city really can't do it, they can take a detour outside the county town to other places.

Seeing that they had made up their minds, Xu Yao did not stop them and went down the mountain.

When she was going down the mountain, she looked back and found that the Immortal of the South China Sea was standing on a high place with no intention of leaving.

The other Taoists in the temple did not leave with him, and Xu Yao sighed.

Life is a series of partings. Since you have different paths, don’t force yourself to be together.

Thinking this, Xu Yao strode down the mountain.

The little Taoist boy watched Xu Yao leave, seeming reluctant to let him go.

Nanhai Xianweng asked him if he was reluctant to leave, and Atong nodded, "Senior Sister Xu is a good person and very capable. Xianweng, are we really not going with her?"

Nanhai Xianweng shook his head and said, "She will come back."

"That's impossible. She has packed all her things. Why would she come back?"

The Immortal of the South Sea did not say that she would be back in a few hours, he only told the little Taoist boy to light a fire and cook.

Xu Yao led his men down the mountain along the official road, and when they were close to the town, they changed to a small road.

I plan to go to the county town via this trail.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, they met a group of Beichen soldiers.

How could Xu Yao forget the black clothes they were wearing?

The soldiers also saw Xu Yao and looked at these people as if they were lambs to be slaughtered, and they were very excited.

Xu Yao immediately asked Lin Shi to take the old and weak women to hide, and then organized several young and strong men to deal with the Beichen soldiers.

Fortunately, there are not many Beichen soldiers, only about a dozen.

They thought that they could beat these people to a pulp with the knives in their hands, but they didn't know that in Xu Yao's eyes, these people were not worth mentioning at all.

Xu Yao only used up a little of his strength to kill them all, leaving only one alive for interrogation.

"Where did it come from?"

The soldier said fiercely: "Beichen has already gone south and captured Wanzhou City. He will soon capture this place. By then, none of you will survive."

Very good, it was the Beichen soldier she was familiar with, arrogant and self-righteous.

Xu Yao originally wanted to kill him directly, but was stopped by Lin Shi. Lin Shi said that this man was still useful and wanted to interrogate him further.

Xu Yao looked at him deeply and then threw the person to him.

The people were frightened and hid in the woods to rest. Kang Runyue handed Xu Yao a kettle and asked her to drink some water.

After a while, Lin Shi came with blood on his hands, and it was obvious that the person had been dealt with by him.

"What's the situation?" Xu Yao asked.
