Chapter 785 The whole family is a rebel (69)

Is there any difference between the North and the Imperial Court?
Have!
And more than just a little!
The imperial court suppressed the powerful and wealthy by killing them all, regardless of whether they were good or bad. Not only would they forcibly confiscate all their property, but they would also force them to be grateful and sing praises to the court.

As for the North, he doesn't want you to sing any hymns, but will considerately send your whole family on the road, and the whole family will be together.

So is there a choice?

Of course!
The imperial court is a bandit, robbing openly.

Although the North also wants to rob and be bandits, they are much more principled than the imperial court.

At the very least, before taking action, Beidi will first verify whether you have done anything bad. As long as you have not touched the bottom line set by Beidi, no matter whether you are from a noble family or a wealthy family, no matter whether your family is rich enough to rival a country, he will not touch you.

This is the biggest difference!

On the surface, the noble families all say this when they meet. Since the imperial court wants to overturn the table, they will not join in. I'm going to seek refuge in the north!
But only they themselves know the pain and hatred in their hearts, and the humiliation they have to swallow with gritted teeth and blood.

Under such circumstances, some well-connected noble families unexpectedly found their way to Yu County. They not only sent food and medicine, but also sent some slaves who were good at riding and shooting to serve Jin Yan.

There is no doubt that this is surrender.

Jin Yan naturally accepted all the gifts and help from the noble families, and told the people who were escorting the food and fodder to go back and tell their family masters that he hoped they could continue to carry forward such benevolent and righteous acts, the more the better.

"..."

The leaders of several aristocratic families looked at each other in bewilderment.

Is there really a difference between the North and the imperial court?

Jin Yan didn't care about such boring questions. As soon as she received the food and grass, she asked people to distribute the food and medicine to the people of Yu County so that they could get through this difficult time.

The epidemic has not been completely resolved, but Jin Yan and his group can't stay any longer.

On the day of leaving Yu County, Jin Yan and his brother walked in front with a few guards dressed as merchants, and the common people who had not yet recovered from their illness followed behind. They were afraid of spreading the disease to their benefactors, so they deliberately kept a long distance from them.

Jin Yan called out to them several times, asking them to go back, but they didn't listen and kept following him.

The people only stopped after an intelligence officer couldn't help but say that there were too many people and the target was too big, making it easy for the imperial troops to find them. However, they did not leave. Instead, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jin Yan as if they were thanking the gods.

In the distance, a woman was gesticulating and saying something, but her voice was hoarse and the distance was so far that Jin Yan couldn't hear her at all.

She asked, "What did the woman say?"

Guard: "She said that when she recovers, she will go to the North."

Jin Yan was slightly startled, and then smiled, "Tell her that I'm waiting for her in the North."

……

Just as Jin Yan and his group left, a man with pockmarks on his face among the people who were seeing them off coughed and left the crowd, then quickly dived into a deep alley.

Half an hour later, in a gloomy and terrifying abandoned haunted house on the outskirts of the city, "Pockmarked" knelt on one knee in front of a man.

"Your Majesty."

The man turned around and turned out to be Xiao Sui, the King of Beidi who had "died" a long time ago but was still wanted by the court.

"Those two children..."

"My Lord, the young princess and the second young master have safely left Yu County."

After that, looking at the worried look on his own prince's face, he described the scene of the people reluctantly seeing him off. After hearing about Jin Yan's agreement with the poor woman, the King of Beidi smiled. Soon, he put away his smile and said to his subordinates, "Give the order and return to Chang'an tonight."

Originally, in order to ensure that the two children could leave safely, he asked his men to lie and conceal his whereabouts. Now that they have left safely, he can do what he should do without any worries.

I just don't know if Quji is really fine, if Yan'er will still cough at night, and when will Gongsun Chou, the old bastard, catch up with them...

On the way north, Jin Yan sneezed twice not long after she fell asleep, which scared Xiao Quji so much that he immediately covered her with thick clothes.

The late spring cold in Chang'an is already cold enough, but the further north you go, the colder the weather becomes, especially after the sun sets, when dusk shrouds the earth and the biting cold penetrates into people's bones and chills them to the marrow.

Jin Yan woke up slowly. Due to lack of rest for a long time and the mental and physical exhaustion, her eyes were dark.

Before she fully opened her eyes, she said with dissatisfaction: "Second brother, I dreamed of my grandfather and cousin."

Xiao Quji was very cooperative and immediately asked, "Oh, what are they doing?"

Jin Yan gritted his teeth:

"rebel!"

Xiao Quji was slightly stunned, then looked helpless.

rebel?

Isn't what they are doing now a rebellion?
He asked Jinyan why she was angry, and Jinyan said, "They rebelled, didn't take us with them, and lied to us. The secret line in Chang'an was originally controlled by my grandfather, and then my grandfather told my cousin all his connections in Chang'an. I trusted them so much, but they teamed up to lie to me!"

Fortunately, she had been worrying about too many things along the way and did not expect that they would deceive her at this time, so she fell into their trap.

Looking at her childish expression, Xiao Quji laughed, "Yan, this is just a dream..."

"No, it's true." Jin Yan said.

Xiao Quji was speechless for a moment.

According to past experience, when Yan is obsessed with something, she is usually right.

So he asked, "Where are the great father and his family now?"

Jin Yan: "Chang'an!"

Xiao Quji was shocked and was about to stand up, but was stopped by Jin Yan. "It's useless. We have been away from Yu County for so long, they should have returned to Chang'an."

She guessed that if it wasn't for the purpose of getting them both out of Chang'an City safely, her grandfather would have hidden in Chang'an City as soon as he was rescued.

Even the emperor was a suspicious and jealous person, he certainly could not have imagined that his grandfather would return to Chang'an, where he had been imprisoned for many years, after escaping death.

But this was her plan!
These are all her words!
Jin Yan was heartbroken.

Xiao Quji quickly calmed down and said, "My grandfather and cousin have a good plan, but my grandfather..."

He looked at Jin Yan again, "Although you and I are smart, our bodies are a burden. If we encounter danger, not only will everyone have to divert their attention to protect us, but our parents will also worry about us. Now that things have come to this, we should hurry back to the North as soon as possible to reassure everyone and discuss other matters later."

Jin Yan sighed, resigned to his fate, "It's my fault for letting my guard down and getting tricked by them. Now that I've left Chang'an, this is all I can do."

Having said that, Xiao Quji knew very well in his heart that Jin Yan was not someone who would give up easily.

Can’t cause trouble in Chang’an?
Nothing.

Anyway, the journey is long, and there are wolves and tigers all around, and it is difficult to guard against open and hidden attacks. There are plenty of opportunities for his beloved sister to show her skills!
