Chapter 219 Leaving the Capital
Chapter 219 Leaving the Capital
After thinking about it, Tian Xinger remembered the old man who had treated the officers and soldiers in the city at that time. His medical skills were so good. It was said that his family had been practicing medicine for three generations. Unfortunately, because his relatives committed a crime, he was implicated and exiled here.
So Tian Xing'er said, "Second brother, do you remember the old man with medical skills who helped us before?"
"Oh, remember, you want to help him?"
"Yes, I was thinking, if there are any useful people here, why not let us take some of them away? How about we choose from the people who helped us before? Now the world is in chaos, I'm afraid no one will take care of these people. It won't be difficult to change their household registration, and we won't waste their talents. As for those who have committed crimes, we will never take them."
Tian Yuheng thought about it and felt that this condition should not be difficult. There were not many people who helped before, and there would be even fewer people to choose from. He thought General Li would not have any objection.
"Okay, by the way, General Li was thinking about when to meet you. How about the celebration banquet the day after tomorrow? It's a good time."
"Okay, I also want to meet General Li, this great hero of the North. I've always heard about him before, and now I can finally meet him."
General Li Yun is like a guardian angel in the hearts of the people of the North. As long as he is there, there will be no problems in the North and everyone will not be afraid. Tian Xing'er has heard the story of General Li Yun for a long time. This time, she was really excited to see him in person.
Soon the next day, Tian Xing'er heard from her second brother that General Li agreed to her request and asked them to select some civilians themselves and take them away if needed. They would help with household registration matters. After all, General Li himself had selected a number of useful people from these criminals and joined the army.
This is something that is easy to do.
At the celebration banquet the next day, Tian Xing'er met the general as she wished, and the general was grateful to the two siblings of the Tian family again.
After the celebration banquet, Tian Xing'er and his companions returned, bringing more than 30 people with them on the way. After all, they all came with their families. They chose one person, and they wanted to take their family along, so Tian Xing'er and his companions agreed. However, not everyone could go with them, and later they carefully selected some of their close relatives to take away.
I thought that after they had accomplished something great, I would come back to help these people take away the rest of their family members.
The snow was not heavy on the way back, and as they were carrying the elderly and the weak, their journey was slower than when Tian Xing'er and her companions came here. It took them more than half a month to return to Yingzhou Prefecture.
As soon as they came back, Magistrate Tian told them some bad news.
"The capital was in turmoil, and the court sent someone to inform General Li Yun to return, but he was not allowed to lead the troops."
"If you can't lead the troops, then what are you going to do when you go back?" Tian Xing'er couldn't believe what she heard. What did this mean? They had just won a victory and the imperial court sent an edict.
Tian Yuheng couldn't help but become worried and asked, "Dad, it seems that Sima Zhao's intention is true. By the way, what about my elder brother, my younger brother, my grandfather, and my grandfather? Is the capital really in chaos?"
"I received a letter from your eldest brother a month ago, saying that he would take them away from the capital, but I don't know what the current situation is.
Dad is a little worried about this."
Just when the whole family was worried, the steward came in from outside and brought news.
"Master, there is a letter from the post."
"Whose letter is it?" Tian Xing'er asked.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the letter in Magistrate Tian's hand.
There was no signature on the letter, only the name of the recipient. Magistrate Tian opened the letter very carefully.
He originally thought it might be a letter from General Li Yun. After all, his sudden departure from the border was a big deal. At least he should have made some arrangements for himself. The two of them were in a cooperative relationship.
They didn't expect that the letter came from their eldest son, but this is also a good thing. They were just worried about them, but they didn't expect to receive the letter so soon.
"Yes, your eldest brother's letter, he said that your grandfather, Yuze and others have left the capital."
"It's a letter from my eldest brother. Dad, please let my second brother and I take a look at it." Tian Xing'er happily went over and asked Governor Tian for the letter, and read it with her second brother.
"That's great! Big brother is really awesome. He made preparations early. They must be the first group of people to leave the capital!" Tian Yuheng said with emotion.
Every step they took was also influenced by their big brother, who helped plan it all step by step.
Tian Yuyu and his family had just left the capital with their families.
"Grandfather, grandpa, we may have to take a detour on the way to pick up Shaoqing's family." Tian Yuyu said as he rode his horse to his family's carriage.
"Okay, just go. We are very grateful to Shaoqing and the others this time, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get out so early." Tian Shunyi, the eldest master of the Tian family, nodded and said.
Tian Shunyi had several relatives in the capital city. When he kindly reminded them to leave, they all refused to leave and even scolded him. Now that he had successfully escaped, they were afraid that they were still trapped in the capital city.
However, they were able to get out so smoothly this time, thanks to Xue Shaoqing. He was adopted by his uncle Xue Chongren in the capital. This uncle was really good to him and treated him like his own son after he was adopted.
Because of the unrest everywhere, the imperial examination was suspended that year, so his family asked for a small official position for him at the city gate of the capital. It was because of this that they were able to escape so smoothly.
Xue Chongren was originally an official in the court, but he happened to offend Concubine Jiang during the morning court some time ago and was dismissed from his post. Xue Chongren was so angry that he took his wife to the farm outside the city to farm. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
Later, the situation became chaotic and everyone had to leave. The Xue family was dismissed from office, and Xue Shaoqing was also ostracized. He could hardly keep his position as a small official at the city gate.
Here Tian Yuyu happened to enter the capital, so he persuaded Xue Shaoqing to leave with him.
The two hit it off immediately and fled the capital with their families overnight. Not long after they left, the capital was closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will.
What they need to go to now is Xuejiazhuang in Maoxian to pick up Xue Chongren and others. It takes two days' journey from there to the capital.
Tian Yuyu had just finished talking to his family when he returned to the team. Seeing Xue Shaoqing looking worried, he comforted him, "Shaoqing, don't worry. They should be safer there than in the capital."
"I hope so, but now even the capital is in chaos. I'm really a little scared. What if something happens to my parents as well?"
"It will be there soon. We will be there in just one day. Don't worry, your uncle and aunt will be fine."
