Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

Chapter 123 Liaocheng

"Well, since we are leaving, we can all choose a time to leave together. By the way, Sister Fang is going to prepare a farewell banquet for us. You can invite your friends to come as well."

"Know it."

Hearing that Tian Xing'er and the others were leaving, many residents in the county wanted to come and see them off, so Fang Shiya directly invited everyone in the county to the farewell banquet on the day, even the county magistrate.

"Miss Xing'er, I didn't expect you to leave so soon. On behalf of Shang County, I would like to thank you and Miss Fang for everything you have done for us."

"Yes, thank you Miss Xing'er and Miss Shiya." The county magistrate stood up and said, and the people around him also stood up and toasted Tian Xing'er and others.

"Thank you, County Magistrate Huang and the people of Shang County. We are very happy to help you. Although my time here is short, I am very happy here. My sister Fang and I can develop so well here, and it is all thanks to you. I will use tea instead of wine to toast to all the uncles, aunts, sisters-in-law, brothers and sisters present."

"Sister Xing'er, thank you for building the academy for us. If it weren't for you, we might not be able to go to school." Erlang also stood up to thank Tian Xing'er, followed by students from other academies, which made Tian Xing'er embarrassed again.

"It's okay. It was actually Sister Fang who paid for this. You should thank Sister Fang. Also, you must study hard. When you graduate from high school and become capable, you will be able to help me, your sister, right?"

"This is natural. Don't worry, Sister Xing'er and Sister Fang."

"Hey, why don't you thank me? I was your teacher for a while." Tian Yuze felt a little jealous when he saw that everyone was thanking his sister but no one thanked him.

"Hahaha, yes, we also want to thank Master Yuze." Erlang took the lead and asked the students he had taught before to offer tea to Tian Yuze.

"That's more like it."

Tian Xing'er and his group agreed to set off on the same day as the Xu brothers, so that they could travel together for a while. Fearing that the people in the county would come out to confront them, Tian Xing'er and his group did not disclose the exact time of their departure, and they set off at dawn that day.

"Xing'er sister, please take care of yourself and remember to come back to see me often."

"Don't worry, Sister Fang. I still want to see you succeed in taking the position of the head of the family. I also have a share in the business here. We can keep in touch by writing letters in the future. And if you are free, you can come to the North to see me."

"nature."

"Then let's go."

"Take care along the way."

"Sister, we are leaving too. Take care of yourself on your journey. When you get back, remember to tell dad for us that I will study hard."

"understood."

"Brother Xu, I'll trouble you to take my brother to the capital this time. If he disobeys me on the way, just beat him up. Don't be polite."

"Haha, brother Yuze has always been very well behaved, and he is much less of a worry than the two of us. Miss Xing'er, don't worry, I will definitely help you deliver your little brother safely."

"Thank you very much."

After walking for a while out of the city, they came to a fork in the road and Tian Xing'er was about to separate from Tian Yuze and the others. This time, Jiang Jin brought half of the men with him to the capital, which made Tian Zhenwei very envious and he wanted to go instead of his sixth brother.

"Brother Tian is still here, it's a pity that we can't go to the capital. In fact, the capital is just so-so. The north is still better. After sending Miss Xing'er away, do you want to bring your brothers with me to join the army?" Zhao Shi has been in a good mood since he left Shang County.

"No, thank you for your kindness, Brother Zhao. I still prefer more freedom. I have no freedom in the army. I have been lazy all my life. Joining the army is not suitable for us brothers."

"Brother Tian, ​​please don't think about it again. With your martial arts, you will surely make achievements in the army soon. If you are worried about your achievements being stolen, you can rest assured. General Li Yun is strict in military discipline and there will be no such thing. What do you think? Do you want to reconsider it?"

"No, no. I love wine, food, and beautiful women, and I never want to be too restricted. Besides, Magistrate Tian saved my life, and I promised Magistrate Tian that I would follow him in the future. One should not break one's promise."

"Well, okay, then I won't force you, Brother Tian. If you think it through someday, I believe I will get an important position. Come to me and I will introduce you to General Li Yun."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Zhao."

"You're welcome. We are good brothers who have been through a lot together."

The voices of Tian Zhenwei and Zhao Shi talking outside the carriage did not avoid anyone and also reached Tian Xing'er's carriage.

"Miss, look at that Zhao Shi. He is openly trying to snatch people from the master. His life was saved by the eldest young master. He is such an ungrateful guy." Baozhu said angrily to Zhao Shi.

"Miss, you are too good to Zhao Shi. After you let him manage Shang County, he became arrogant and thought he was so great. It was all arranged by you and Miss Fang, otherwise how could he have that ability. Now, he even wants to take advantage of the master's people." Baoyu also followed suit and spoke up for him.

"He does have abilities, but they are not my abilities. He has proven his abilities himself. But he is a little unfair to take my things and use my things, and even want to steal my people. I will give him a good beating next time."

"That's right, that's right." The two maids said in unison.

After walking for a few days, the team finally arrived in Liaocheng before dark, otherwise they would have to stay outside the city tonight. Tian Xing'er and his team found a cheap inn to stay in.

"Xing'er girl, let's stay here tonight. Once we get to Liaocheng, we'll be close to Yingzhou City."

"Okay, I'll listen to Uncle Zhenwei."

Tian Xing'er and her friends had just packed up their things, went downstairs and sat down to wait for the restaurant to serve their food, when they heard people around them discussing the possibility of war in the near future.

"I heard that there will be another fight on the border recently. Last time, it almost reached our vicinity."

"Yeah, I hope they don't call me this time."

"Don't worry about that. There's no way General Li and his men would let them attack us. They can't even enter the city."

"That's right, you guys are really worrying about nothing. General Li has never allowed people to attack the city, but the surrounding towns may be affected."

"Fortunately, my family bought a house in the city last year, otherwise I would be worried now. Although General Li is here and the prefect will arrange for everyone to take refuge in the city, who can bear to see their home destroyed? If it were me, I would not want to live anymore."

"Yes, yes. Pity those people who live in the country."

"What's the use of feeling sorry for them? There's nothing we can do about it. If we want to blame someone, we should blame the Liao people."

"That's right. But I still hope that there won't be a fight."

"It's impossible not to fight. I heard that they had a lot of snow last winter, and many cattle and sheep died. There was also less food, so they came south again to rob the surrounding counties."

"There's no way to beat them all. After beating one group, there's another. As long as there are still people around, they can come back again. It's really infuriating."

"Yes, why don't they grow their own crops so they can have food to eat and not have to rely on us."

"Are they that stupid? Besides, their ancestors were nomads. How could they live in one place all the time like us?"

"Damn it, they are treating us as their free granary, and they will beat us if they don't have enough to eat."

"That's right. I really hope General Li Yun can send troops to destroy their lair."

"Is this something that your General Li Yun can decide? You should stop worrying about it."

"Humph, I'm just saying that. Come on, eat the food. It's getting cold."

"Sir, your dishes are here, please be careful." When Tian Xing'er and the others had almost heard what they had heard, the waiter also brought the food.

"Come and try the food here. This is already in the northern area, but it's much better than your father's. Miss Xing'er, you guys should eat quickly." Zhao Shi started eating without hesitation, and did not forget to greet Tian Xing'er and the others.

"How do you know so clearly? Have you been here before?" Tian Xing'er asked curiously.

"Hey, that's right. I've been here before, but it's been a long time. Otherwise, how could I dare to come here alone? If I didn't know the way, I wouldn't dare to come here by myself.

Come on, brother Tian, ​​you should eat too. Why don’t you use your chopsticks?” Seeing that the others had not yet used their chopsticks, Zhao Shi urged them.
