Everyone is a villain, I am a madman, who am I afraid of?

Mr. Xie turned around and looked at the people escorting them.

Without their care along the way, his old bones would have died on the road.

Hearing them say this now, Mr. Xie staggered over and asked in a trembling voice, "Are you... are you telling the truth?"

"It's all true. When the prince's people knew that the emperor was going to take action against you, they rescued your family in advance. Your son, daughter-in-law, and Madam Xie are all on their way to the north."

After Mr. Xie relaxed, he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Pei Shuo, who was standing beside him, quickly supported him.

"Dad, Grandpa Xie and the others are not in good health. We have to take them home quickly."

The bailiff smiled bitterly and said, "Prime Minister Pei, this is our fault for not being able to escort Elder Xie and the others better."

Old Xie waved his hand and said, "Thanks to you for taking care of us along the way, otherwise we would have been killed by that little beast."

"Thank you, Mr. Pei, we have to go back and report."

Pei Qingshan took out twenty taels of silver and gave them to them: "Be nice to yourself on the way back."

"Thank you, Prime Minister Pei."

After sending away the yamen runners, Pei Qingshan took Mr. Xie and his two grandchildren back home.

When the three of them went in, Pei Shijing had already prepared a pot of noodles and they would be able to eat it after waiting for a while.

When Pei Shijing saw the man, he was a little surprised: "Dad, why is Grandpa Xie..."

"That beast, if it wasn't for Mr. Xie, would he be in this situation today?"

"There's no need to say more about Qingshan. From now on, I have nothing to do with him."

After saying that, he looked at Pei Qingshan worriedly and asked, "Qingshan, how is the prince? Do you have any news?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Xie. The prince is fine now. He just left us some time ago."

Hearing that Xiao Minye was fine, Mr. Xie was finally relieved.

Pei Shijing stayed aside for a while, then served a bowl of noodles to the three of them, with a poached egg on each bowl.

"Thank you, Grandpa. Eat it while it's hot."

"Thank you, Jing'er." Grandpa Xie didn't bother to be polite with Pei Shijing and invited his two grandsons to eat.

They hadn't eaten anything so delicious for a long time.

While the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were having dinner, Pei Shijing and Mrs. Pei prepared bath water and new clothes for them.

"Thank you, Grandpa. You guys wash up and have a good rest."

"it is good."

After washing up, Mr. Xie and his two grandchildren settled down in the room prepared by Pei Qingshan.

After they rested, Pei Yi said with some dissatisfaction: "This emperor is really too much. Dad, there will definitely be many uncles and aunts who will be exiled later, but Pei Qingsong may not be able to hide it. Our backyard is probably going to be exposed."

With Pei Qingsong and the others around, Pei Yi didn't feel comfortable letting Old Man Xie and the others live alone.

Moreover, it is freezing cold and snowing at any time, so it is worrying for them to live outside by themselves.

Pei Qingshan took the two siblings to the locked backyard.

This was done after they had built their house, and they secretly hired someone to build it.

There are a total of thirty rooms here, and each room has a brick bed.

These rooms can accommodate quite a few people.

When people come, they will stay at their house first. After the weather gets warmer, they will be allowed to build houses nearby.

Living with them can also protect their safety.

"Jing'er, write a letter to tell the prince what happened here."

"it is good."

Mr. Xie and his team rested for about four or five days, and then another group of people arrived.

This time, it was Mr. Xie’s two sons, daughters-in-law, and his wife.

When he saw his family, Mr. Xie couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. He looked at them sadly and said, "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive."

Xie Fang was also a little excited standing next to Mr. Xie.

Originally they thought that as long as their father and two children were alive, everything would be fine, but who knew that the prince had already made arrangements.

They arranged a riot at the time of the beheading, replaced them with condemned prisoners, and then secretly led them out of the city and traveled north in disguise.

No wonder the prince chose to go back even though the situation in the capital was so dangerous before.

It turns out it was all for this group of people.

"Dad, how is the situation with the prince?"

"Your Majesty is fine."

Xie Fang was finally relieved: "Dad, we don't have to protect that bastard this time. We will stay in the north with the prince and overthrow his dynasty sooner or later."

Mr. Xie glared at Xie Fang and said, "Can you just say that?"

In response, Pei Qingshan said, "The prince has already started training his troops and preparing weapons, waiting for the right time to start an uprising."

Hearing what Pei Qingshan said, Mr. Xie laughed: "Okay, okay."

Pei Shijing also prepared food for the Xie family, and they discussed many things during the meal.

"Qingshan, even if the prince is fine, we have all gathered together, but it is not easy to use the weather in the north as our base." Old Xie said with a wry smile.

In response, Pei Qingshan simply went back to his room and took out some things.

Mr. Xie frowned and asked, "This is..."

"These are sweet potatoes and potatoes. I heard the yield is very high. We just have to wait until next year to try planting them."

"These are the new grains we have acquired. It is said that the yield will be much higher than our current yield. We will also try it next year."

Mr. Xie held the corn in his hand carefully.

The kernels of corn were the largest he had ever seen.

If the corn kernels they grow in the future are all that big, how high will the yield be?

Just thinking about it, Mr. Xie is already looking forward to it.

"There is enough food, the people in the north support the prince, and the prince has 300,000 troops at his disposal. As long as they are trained, they can become iron cavalry. Then we will pass the news from the capital to the north, and we will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort when the uprising begins." Pei Qingshan and Xiao Minye had already discussed these things once.

What I am telling Mr. Xie now is just what they have discussed.

Mr. Xie nodded with satisfaction: "This is a good thing."

Xie Fang sneered and said, "My master still has some good things here."

"What?" Everyone's eyes were on Xie Fang.

"The current emperor is the one who killed the previous emperor. He attacked me just because he found out about that." Xie Fang came up to his son, took off his coat, and cut up the cotton-padded jacket that he had been reluctant to change.

Then he took out a few letters from his cotton coat.

All these letters show that the current emperor is not legitimate.

"There's one more thing."

"this."

When everyone saw what Xie Fang took out, they fell silent.

"You also secretly brought out the token of the Dark Guard Camp?" Pei Qingshan asked in disbelief.

Xie Fang nodded and said, "Yes, I stole it. I knew I might not survive, so I hid it in my child's cotton-padded jacket. I also got a piece of news."

"The late emperor passed the throne to you before he died."
