Chapter 27: Departure

At first, through the conversations between her mother, her grandmother, and her relatives, she thought that Great Yin was a unified dynasty and that Bei Li belonged to the tribes in the north.

However, when she heard from his father that Great Xia in the west had a system of military merits and titles, Yuan Bao immediately thought of the history of Qin destroying the six states and unifying the world.

Could this world also be a place where countries fight for supremacy?

If it were really a battle between countries, they would not be able to avoid subsequent wars even if they managed to avoid this war.

Unfortunately, Yuan Bao could not do anything in her current condition.

“Darling, we might have to escape to Great Xia. As for you, when you’re free, pack your things so that you don’t get flustered.”

Although Yuan Zhao Di was not the head of the household, he had been a manager outside, so he still had a good sense of how to move forward.

At first glance, the Great Yin’s current situation seemed to have stabilized the court. But the Great Yin was like an old man who had sunk deep into his grave. It will be extremely difficult for him to come back strong again.

After being attacked by Bei Li and the Jiangnan rebellion, Great Yin suffered significant losses.

Most importantly, the massacre of villages on both sides of Qingyuan River was enough to show that the internal problems of Great Yin had not been resolved.

“I got it!” Although the young Madame Li did not want to leave her homeland, she knew well that she should follow whoever she was married to. She did not even inform her maiden family when they fled to the forest this time.

If she escaped from Great Yin and headed west to Great Xia, it would be even more impossible for her to tell her maiden family. Perhaps, after she left, she would never return.

Not only were the officials and nobles unlucky, but the innocent people were also unlucky in this chaos.

This new year was supposed to be a festive one. However, the outside news casts a shadow over this joy.

After the new year, everyone in the Yuan family decided to head west when spring came, and the flowers bloomed.

As for Lin He village, it had already become a ruin, so there was no need to go back.

Although the Yuan family’s wives could not inform their families that they were about to escape to Great Xia personally, they still used the night to get their men to send a letter to their families so they could be at ease.

The letter more or less mentioned the current chaotic situation and hoped that the maiden family would take care of themselves.

Second of February.

Clear skies were heading in early in the morning. It was a sign that it was going to be a good day.

Old Yuan looked at his family members, who were ready, and waved his hand, “Let’s go!”

They had no choice but to leave their homes for the sake of their lives and the bloodline of the Yuan family. No one knew the outcome, but they were all excited.

“Big brother, I want to stay!” Just as the group was about to set off, Yuan Lu suddenly blocked Old Yuan’s path and spoke with a rather determined attitude.

“Second brother, what are you doing?”

Old Yuan’s face turned cold when he heard his brother’s words, “Didn’t we already discuss this before?”

“That’s right, second brother, didn’t we agree on this?” Yuan Shou was also a little anxious.

In his opinion, staying here was simply courting death.

“Big brother, third brother, if we all leave, we’ll be leaving our old ancestors behind!” Yuan Lu smiled and said, “Also, who knows what the result will be if we go?”

“My family will stay in the mountains. There might not necessarily be any trouble!”
