My whole family is fleeing

In fact, General Xie came here this time partly because of the draft incident. Moreover, he was 15% sure that these people were acting stupidly for his own sake. Because his eldest daughter happens to be years old this year. It's just that his eldest daughter was already engaged to someone before that. This was because he wanted to keep his daughter for two more years, so he didn't get married so early. After all, if this girl is too young and her frame is not fully grown, she will be in great danger if she rashly gets married and has a child. So he didn't pay much attention. He didn't expect that they would use this trick!

But the old emperor is over 50 years old this year, and the prince is now in his thirties or forties. His daughter is only 15 years old this year, how can she marry someone with such a big age difference? Even those of a similar age don't want their daughters to marry into the royal family. What's more, the men in the royal family are now adults and have wives and concubines. What does it mean for his daughter to marry?

What's more, he didn't even know about such a big news in this draft. If it weren't for the fact that the value of the elective courses had already reached a low level, he would probably still be in the dark! It seems that some of the spies in the capital have been unplugged or corrupted. This is really not good news for General Xie now. But he didn't understand why the emperor suddenly made such a stupid move? Is his current position more important than he imagined? That's why he spared no effort to win over himself.

But he really didn't like this feeling of being involuntarily, not to mention if it was just him, forget it, but his daughter was innocent. To be fair, which daughter's family is willing to marry someone decades older than themselves?

Just because he didn't want his daughter to get involved in such royal secrets, he never mentioned that he had a daughter to the outside world. People outside only thought that he had two sons. In these years, his daughter has lived in his own home as an orphan from a relative, accompanying his wife. But who would have thought that the imperial edict would come directly to his home and ask his daughter to come to Beijing to participate in the draft!

Is this going to cut off all his escape routes in advance?

But how could he accept this method? The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, but at this moment there were so many grassland people outside the pass who were watching with eagerness, and they were about to take action. They are bound to come and try to rob. If a conflict breaks out at this time, he will be unable to ensure the security of the rear. In the end, General Xie didn't decide what to do and could only put the matter aside for the time being. Prepare to come to Qingshui Village to see the extremely high-yield rice that Ning Ning mentioned.

Unexpectedly, they encountered a hurried carriage on the way, and the direction of the carriage was pointed directly at Qingshui Village. This aroused General Xie's interest. Could it be that someone wanted to cause trouble in Qingshui Village?

So he quickly ordered someone to intercept the carriage, only to receive news that made him couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Looking at the three rice grains with a faint multicolored glow in his open palm, General Xie finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

If he guessed correctly, the old emperor is not going to die soon, and he will definitely need a blessing from heaven to recognize the legitimacy of his rule. What's more, if he wants to pass the throne to the incompetent prince, he will need a blessing from heaven. . What's more, this is related to food, which can almost shake the country and the country. If the old emperor knew about it, he would definitely snatch it away at all costs, which would not be in line with Ning Ning's expectations.

Moreover, food that shines with colorful light like this might be a magic elixir that can extend his life in the eyes of the old emperor who is already waiting for death! Moreover, in the eyes of the old emperor, naturally only he could enjoy such God-given auspiciousness, and he would not even think about distributing this strange food to the people as improved seeds.

Not to mention, it is really possible! The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so General Xie immediately rushed to Qingshui Village.

When they arrived, they saw Ning Ning and Magistrate Sun, who had the same worries as him with a frown on his face. To be honest, General Xie didn't have a deep impression of Magistrate Sun. In his impression, he was just an official who was relatively aware of current affairs. He had no other characteristics and no ability that needed to be remembered. Just because he was lucky, he happened to meet Ning Ning's family who came to Qingshui Village because of fleeing famine. It can almost be said that his official career is prosperous now. Of course, the premise is that he can still sit firmly in the position of county magistrate.

Seeing General Xie at this time, Magistrate Sun quickly told the news about the emperor's draft. He saw General Xie's clear face and immediately understood that it seemed that General Xie knew the news before he did. .

"General, what do you think we should do about this? My granddaughter is just old enough to enter the draft, but he has been pampered by us since he was a child. How can he adapt to the work of waiting in the palace? And once a girl from an official's family is If she stays, her rank will be sealed. After the separation, she will never be able to leave the palace again. Me, what hope do I have from now on?"

As he spoke, Magistrate Sun felt sad and almost cried. Fortunately, he temporarily remembered his own identity and the identity of the person in front of him, and he managed to stop crying in pain.

It's just that old heart, it's been tortured so much, it's almost gone cold after turning it over and over again. He is just a small top official, and he has no ability to compete with the royal family, not to mention that he does not dare to do so. After all, what he has been studying since he was a child is that the king, the king, the minister, the father, the son, and the son must be loyal to the king and patriotic. He didn't have the courage to confront the emperor. But he was not willing to send his granddaughter, who he had raised since childhood, to the cannibalistic place in the palace.

Normally, General Xie would probably laugh at Magistrate Sun, but at this moment, when he looked at Magistrate Sun who was sincerely worried about his granddaughter, he couldn't help but think of his wife and daughter who were crying bitterly at home.

A good man is born in this world and it is his responsibility to protect his wife and daughter. Now that he can't even protect his own family, you can imagine the suffering in his heart, so he has no right to laugh at Magistrate Sun.

"Things have not reached the worst point yet, let's wait and see what happens."

At this point, General Xie could only say such comforting words, but Magistrate Sun suddenly smiled as if he had received some kind of golden order. Perhaps in his opinion, a powerful figure like General Xie Zai must have some tricks up his sleeve.

Then several people talked about the family named Yu that General Xie met on the way here. He also took out three rice seeds wrapped in brocade handkerchiefs from his arms.

To be honest, the moment she saw them, Ning Ning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She felt that things were not that simple. Now I can barely let go. (End of chapter)
