Xie Yu, Bai Xiaonan and others met up with Liuzi Chen Zhong and others outside the city.
There was also Yu Bai who came to see him off.
In the past few days, Liuzi and others had been placed under Yubai's tent. Including when they ambush the Wala people, Liuzi and the others also contributed a lot.
So after getting along for a while, Liuzi, Chen Zhong and others suddenly became familiar with Yubai.
"Brother Xie, I really envy you. You have such fierce men as Sixth Son and Fourth Brother by your side! I said before that I will protect you in prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life. Why don't you consider taking them to Datong with me?"
"Not much else to say, I will arrange you to join the Datong Guard. In two or three years, it should be no problem to give you a thousand households each! If I can become a second- and third-grade general soldier in the future, I will definitely not treat you badly! "
Xie Yu smiled and looked at Sixth Son, Chen Zhong and others: "I'll forget it. I'm used to being undisciplined and don't like to be controlled. As for whether Sixth Son and Fourth Brother are willing to go with you, that's all up to them."
Both Liu Zi and Chen Zhong understood what Xie Yu meant when he said he didn't like being controlled.
The ideological classes he took at Shanzhai and with others all preached the concepts of equality and freedom.
Under the influence of their ears and eyes, Liu Zi and Chen Zhong also yearned for that kind of life.
So now Yubai's promotion and fortune are really not that big of a temptation for them.
The two also declined Yubai's invitation.
Yu Bai didn't persuade him much, he just told Xie Yu that it would take a few days before he could return to Datong. After returning to Datong and settling everything, I went to Yingzhou to meet Xie Yu to have a drink and talk.
After bidding farewell to Yubai, everyone headed west.
After the war, the capital also began to deal with the problems of the refugees. At this time, there were already groups of refugees on the road, carrying money and food distributed by the court and heading back.
When they return to their hometown, they have to rebuild the burned-down houses before winter.
Of course, these are all relatively close to the capital.
Those who are far away will wait for the warmer weather in the coming year before leaving.
When Xie Yu and others passed by these people, some people recognized them as the "strong men" who set fire to their homes a few days ago.
But... having experienced the battle to defend the capital, they naturally understood the purpose of these people burning their houses and driving them to the capital a few days ago.
No one scolded Xie Yu and the others anymore.
Everyone stood on the roadside when Xie Yu passed by, silently watching the backs of Xie Yu and others leaving.
Some people clasped their hands together and mourned with pious expressions: "Bodhisattva bless these good people, may they live a long life..."
…
Yingzhou is more than 700 miles away from the capital. After traveling more than a hundred miles every day, Xie Yu and others returned to Yingzhou in only five or six days.
Xie Yu did not return to the village directly.
He took Bai Xiaonan and went to the city to find Yu Wenjun.
But... when he arrived at Yu Mansion, Xie Yu realized that there was no one here!
The door to such a large house was ajar. It was unknown whether the people inside left in a hurry, or whether an uninvited guest pushed the door open later.
Xie Yu took Bai Xiaonan into Yu Mansion.
It was a mess inside, with a lot of furniture, tables, chairs and other items scattered all over the floor.
And some houses still have signs of being burned!
Bai Xiaonan frowned, and then said in a deep voice: "What's going on? Didn't the Walas come from Datong? Logically speaking, nothing will happen to Yingzhou!"
Xie Yu was also a little strange.
He checked carefully and finally found blood stains on the ground in the yard!
"Why is there blood? Could it be that... a strongman came to the door?" Bai Xiaonan suddenly looked worried, "Will something happen to my foster father and Wen Jun?"
Xie Yu shook his head: "I don't know! Go out and ask someone."
After leaving Yu Mansion, Xie Yu inquired around for a long time.
The final news made the two of them even more worried.
No one knows what happened to Yu Mansion.
All I know is that one night, a fire suddenly broke out in Yu's house, and then there was the sound of a fight in the yard!
Because of the curfew on those days, no one dared to go over to check on the situation.
All I know is that early the next morning, there was no one in Yu Mansion.
Xie Yu went to the shops run by the Yu family again, only to find that all the shops were closed!
Xie Yu became more and more worried.
Finally, he and Bai Xiaonan left the city and reunited with Liuzi and others. Xie Yu kept frowning and said nothing.
"Go to Ta County!"
Xie Yu wanted to find the "intelligence chief" Mao Tou and ask what happened.
But what he didn't expect was that something happened to Huaxuan Club!
The previously lively Huaxuan Club was now closed down! There are two seals on the door, and the red letters on them look so dazzling.
Xie Yu and Bai Xiaonan climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, and found that it was also a mess inside.
What happened?
Xie Yu could no longer remain calm.
After leaving Ta County, Xie Yu and others went straight to Baishi Village.
Along the way, Xie Yu thought about all the bad possibilities.
But... I have too little information, and what I am thinking about now are just groundless guesses.
As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. Only then did Xie Yu understand how important Yu Wenjun was in his heart.
"Don't worry, there are so many nursing homes in my adoptive father's house. Even if we encounter a strong man, nothing will happen!"
Bai Xiaonan saw Xie Yu's worry, and comforted her: "After two days of repairs, we will go south to find Wenjun and the others."
Xie Yu nodded. That's all it can do now.
After turning onto the road up the mountain, everyone's tense mood finally relaxed a little.
This is a natural reaction at the thought of going home soon.
But Xie Yu always had a vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
And this feeling becomes more obvious the closer we get to Baishi Village.
Xie Yu thought for a while, and finally signaled everyone to slow down and slowly go up the mountain.
When he approached the "five hundred meter line" outside the village and was about to enter the unobstructed area, Xie Yu suddenly stopped.
Something's wrong!
Why is it so quiet in the village?
At this moment, a woman suddenly leaned out from a crenel in the wall, and shouted at Xie Yu: "Mr. Xie! Sister Xiaonan, run! Wang Yi has rebelled!"
"Made, you stinky bitch, you are looking for death!"
Wang Yi's scolding came, followed by a woman's scream.
"Cuihua!"
Bai Xiaonan's eyes widened with shock on his face.
The person who just issued a warning was none other than Li Daniu’s sister Li Cuihua!
And the third leader, Wang Yi, had already stabbed Cuihua in the heart!
In the end, Cuihua's body was thrown down from the crenel by Wang Yi.
Wang Yi rebelled?
Everyone's ears seemed to still be echoing with Cuihua's warning voice just now.
But this news left everyone unable to recover for a long time!
"Wang Yi, what do you mean?"
Xie Yu looked at Wang Yi standing on the high platform in the distance and asked in a deep voice.
Wang Yi looked at Xie Yu coldly, and with a wave of his hand, the shooting ports on the walls of the village opened.
The muzzles of the smoothbore cannons were exposed one by one.
Then Wang Yi shouted to Xie Yu: "Xie Yu, I'm giving you a big gift! What do you think this is?"
Two heads were thrown out of the village. The head rolled a few times on the ground.
Xie Yu took a closer look and his eyes were splitting in an instant.
