Ling Xue was sitting on a tall horse, wearing a golden crown on her head, with a face as white as jade, red lips and white teeth. One could tell at a glance that she was in very good health.
Everyone who saw her knew that Young Master Shen had recovered, and their uneasy hearts were immediately settled.
As long as the person in charge is fine, they will be fine. But they are afraid that if something happens to Young Master Shen, they will be left with nothing.
There was a flag on the first carriage in front, with a big word "Shen" flying high on it, which the people following could see clearly at a glance.
Although most of them are illiterate, everyone knows the character "沈".
Even if you don't know it, the people around you will teach you how to do it. Otherwise, you won't be able to find the team if you get separated. As long as you know the word "Shen", you won't be afraid. As long as you see this word, you can find the young master.
After Ling Xue and Shen Zhen met up, she took the lead and walked in front of the team. She didn't want to be left behind and eat dirt, so Shen Zhen naturally followed her.
Xiao Taozi was sitting in Ling Xue's carriage to rest. She wanted to ride along, but unfortunately she couldn't. She was envious of Shen Zhen being able to ride along with Ling Xue.
The guards were lined up from the front to the end of the team, and the people were walking in the middle, which made them feel very safe.
Just thirty miles after leaving Yuncheng, they encountered many refugees. Shen Zhen sent many people to inquire about the news from them.
Messages came one after another, Shen Zhen summarized them one by one, and then discussed them with Ling Xue.
"Some of these refugees actually came from the west. What happened in the west?" Ling Xue asked Shen Zhen curiously.
"The west is the fiefdom of King Jin, and King Jin has rebelled!" Shen Zhen said with some regret.
Logically speaking, it's not the King of Jin's turn to rebel, right? Ling Xue was a little confused, so she asked Shen Zhen this question.
Shen Zhen said regretfully, "I heard that it was Prince Zhao who stole his favorite concubine. After he found out, he gave her to the emperor. The emperor accepted her with a smile and rewarded Prince Zhao with many good things!"
"A man will risk his life for the beauty he loves!" Ling Xue also felt a little emotional!
Shen Zhen was still very optimistic about Prince Jin, but unfortunately Prince Jin rebelled first, which made his position untenable in terms of justice!
"Who says it isn't?"
Ling Xue was silent for a moment, then continued to talk to Shen Zhen with some helplessness: "I had originally planned to wait until we got to the capital and then change my route to the territory of King Jin, but now I'm afraid I can't go!"
If Prince Jin had rebelled later, Ling Xue wouldn't have been so troubled. Once Prince Jin rebelled, the other princes would surely follow suit, needless to say. Someone had taken the lead, so what was wrong with them following suit?
As long as he uses the excuse of clearing out the rebels, neither the people nor the history books can say he is wrong.
Although they did the same thing as King Jin, they finally had a fig leaf to cover their faces, which was much better than King Jin's.
"Then where should we go if not to King Jin's territory?" No matter how smart Shen Zhen was, he still had to rely on Ling Xue to make the decision on such matters.
Ling Xue did not answer directly, but turned to ask Shen Zhen: "Where did the Patriarch and the First Madam go?"
Shen Zhen was still familiar with the news, and he immediately gave the answer: "They went to the capital!"
Ling Xue laughed immediately, "What a pity!"
Shen Zhen also nodded regretfully: "Yeah, I can't understand how the head of the family can go to the capital with his vision."
Ling Xue nodded and said, "Yes, that shouldn't be the case! However, no matter how good the Patriarch's vision is, it's useless. There are too many people holding him back. Unless the Patriarch can cut off the tail and survive!"
Shen Zhen shook his head, indicating that this was unlikely. "If the head of the family was willing to cut off his roots and survive, he wouldn't have gone to the capital. I'm afraid that if he went there, he wouldn't be able to come back out."
