Transmigration: The Farm Life of a “Fool”

In the afternoon of that day, Xu Ran received a message from Du Xin that King Yan was leaving Yanzhou for Beijing tomorrow.

Xu Ran gathered the whole family and went to King Yan’s residence to see if King Yan had anything to tell him.

However, King Yan just said that with Xu Ran around, he would be at ease, and then he didn’t say anything else.

Xu Ran was a little surprised at the king’s trust in him.

The news that King Yan went to the capital was not hidden from the people of Yanzhou. After all, the people of Yanzhou have already knew about the fact that the new emperor had ascended to the throne, so the whole street was filled with people who came to see King Yan off on the second day. What a farewell scene it was!

Since King Yan wasn’t around, people would go to Lu Qi if there was anything in Yanzhou. The rest of the time, everyone was busy with their own business. Every one lived as usual. The absence of the King of Yan did not make much difference.

Lu Qi found Xu Ran and told him about King Yan’s concerns. The two of them discussed how to pay close attention to the recent security problems in Yanzhou.

King Yan also left several secret guards for Lu Qi. Xu Ran asked Lu Qi to send two people to monitor the group of outsiders, and then left two to protect the mansion. The rest would wander the camp to see if there was any barbarians.

Lu Qi made Xu Ran be in charge of the mansion, and he was monitoring at the camp himself. If anything happened, they could deal with it immediately.

Xu Ran was okay with that. He was sure to help if he could, and it was at this time that he felt that King Yan was still very intimidating because Lu Qi had never been so nervous when King Yan was here.

……

In the morning of July 13, Tangtang and Guoguo led the horse out of the door and said that they would run some laps on the grass.

Tangtang and Guoguo didn’t go to the military camp this year, so they would went out for a ride once or twice a month. In this way, they could not only exercise their riding skills, but also went out for relaxation. It was not good for them to stay at home all the time.

Xu Ran agreed with them on this point, so it had become a habit for them.

Tangtang and Guoguo had just led the horse out of the door and Xu Ran just closed the door, Liu Tong ran out in a hurry. He looked very anxious.

Xu Ran stopped him and asked him, “Tongtong, what’s wrong with you?”

Liu Tong touched his chest and said, “Ran, I felt a little nervous when I was washing the dishes, I felt that something was going to happen. Go and call Tangtang and Guoguo back first. Don’t go out today. They can go out again tomorrow.”

Seeing Liu Tong’s anxious expression, even if Xu Ran didn’t believe that something would happen, he was still very cooperative and opened the door to find Tangtang and Guoguo. Xu Ran went out for a few steps but found that the two of them had long gone.

Liu Tong followed him out, “Ran, how was it? Did you see them?”

There was no one passing by outside, not to mention the silhouette of Tangtang and Guoguo. When Liu Tong saw that there was no one, he became even more anxious and called Xu Ran to ride a horse to find them.

Xu Ran thought that Liu Tong was  making too much of a fuss, but when he saw him like this, he could not say it to him.

On the other hand, Liu Tong came to his senses and apologized to Xu Ran, “Ran, I don’t know why I’m afraid like this. I felt so flustered and I always feel that something will happen.”

Intuition was always a mysterious thing, let alone Tangtang and Guoguo were Liu Tong’s own kids. It is normal for Liu Tong to be worried. Although Tangtang and Guoguo had gone, Xu Ran still decided to go ou to look for them.

Xu Ran said to Liu Tong, “Tongtong, go in first. Close the door and don’t let Baozi come out. If someone calls you to open the door, make sure you know who it is. I’ll go to the mansion first. Regardless of whether something would really happen or not, we have to be careful.”

Liu Tong nodded and walked in. “Alright, Ran, go quickly! Be careful.”

Xu Ran smiled at him and said, “Don’t worry! I’ll be careful. You take care of yourself at home and I’ll come back as soon as possible.”

Xu Ran quickly walked towards the mansion after he said that.

Lu Qi was not in the mansion, and he was not also the one Xu Ran was looking for. He came here to find the secret guards who stayed at the mansion. After Xu Ran arrived at the mansion, he asked someone to take him to meet Xiao Qingyun. Xiao Qingyun called out the two secret guards and Xu Ran told them, “One of you will immediately rush to the camp and let Lu Qi take a look around the grass, and the others must always be ready for the attack from the enemy. I will explain the reason to him when he comes back. If something happens, we have to deal with it quickly.”

After Xu Ran said this, one of them left, while the other continued to be hidden.

Xu Ran turned around and wanted to leave but was stopped by Xiao Qingyun. “Xu Ran, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry? You’d better tell me first, so I’ll be prepared mentally.”

Xu Ran thought for a moment before explaining to Xiao Qingyun, “This is what happened. Tangtang and Guoguo wass going out to ride this morning. As soon as they left, Tongtong ran out and said that he was flustered. He felt that something would happen and asked me to call them back.”

“It’s not the first time Tangtang and Guoguo go out to ride. Tongtong has never said such things before. But he was in such a hurry this time, I think something might happen. You know now that King Yan is not in Yanzhou, it’s easy for thinsg to go wrong. So it’s always a good idea to be on your guard.”

Xiao Qingyun nodded. He understood Liu Tong. After all, he was a Daddy and had two children. And Xu Ran’s words were right. Whether something was going on or not, it was always good to be careful.

Xu Ran went home after he said that. Liu Tong was waiting anxiously for him to come back.

After opening the door for Xu Ran, he asked, “Ran, did you go to King Yan’s residence? Did you find Lu Qi? How’s the situation?”

A series of questions showed just how anxious Liu Tong was. Xu Ran entered the door and put his hand on his shoulder to comfort him, “It’s fine. Don’t worry. I’ve already asked someone to go to the military camp to find Lu Qi and tell him to take his men to take a look around the meadow. Tangtang and Guoguo will be all right. You have to trust them. And they’re very good at kung fu, don’t they?”

Hearing Xu Ran’s words, Liu Tong slowly calmed down and became less anxious.

Baozi had been in the room himself and didn’t go out for a long time. When Xu Ran saw that Liu Tong was fine, he walked into the room to see Baozi. As soon as he walked to the door, his heart suddenly trembled.

Thinking about Liu Tong’s reaction, Xu Ran also felt a little flustered. Something was going to happen today.

At the same time, Tangtang and Guoguo was surrounded by a group of barbarians, and the two of them were starting to seriously think of countermeasures.

When they went out in the morning, they rode very fast so that they could get back early, so they had no idea that Xu Ran was chasing after them. They were riding horses outside the meadow, but when they ran to the edge, they suddenly found that there was someone hiding inside the grass.

Not only did they see the men in the grass, but the men in the grass saw them as well. Before Tangtang and Guoguo could escape, they were already surrounded. These people were all dressed in foreign clothes. It was obvious that they were foreigners, and they were not from the Great Xia.

Tangtang and Guoguo looked at each other and had only one thought in their mind, Barbarians.

Not everyone could come to this camp. Usually, there were people watching the cows and sheep here, but it was unusually quiet today. There was no sound at all. Tangtang and Guoguo suddenly felt that something was wrong.

They were surrounded in the middle, and they started to think of ways to escape. Then they would go to the military camp to inform Lu Qi and they could not let the group of people enter the city. Otherwise, the consequences would be unbearable.

In the eyes of this group of people, Tangtang and Guoguo were obviously two children with the same faces. There was no deterrence although they were riding horses. Therefore, they did not take them seriously at all.

One of them said in his not very fluent Chinese, “Two little children on the horse, as long as you obediently get off your horse and surrender, we will let you live. Otherwise, haha… Look at the two of you who are delicate and tender, I’m afraid you are two childe! Guys, what are we going to do if they refuse to surrender?”

As soon as the man had said this, the others all smiled obscenely. How could Tangtang and Guoguo not understand what they meant? Althou they were furious, they didn’t reveal anything on their faces.

While these people were laughing, the two of them clamped the stomachs of their horses and rushed towards different directions.

The group of barbarians were startled by the sudden action of Tangtang and Guoguo, and then quickly reacted to chase Tangtang and Guoguo behind them. Tangtang didn’t have a weapon in his hand. They didn’t want to escape but wanted to grab a weapon.

They could resist the attacks of this group of people as long as they had weapons in their hands. It was difficult to defeat the enemy with only their fists, not to mention there are so many people on the other side.They have no advantage in terms of numbers, and these men had been in war. Neither of them had actual combat experience. They lost the game at the very beginning.

Their horses were running back and forth. And they would get hurt if they were not careful. Although it was not serious, the horses would get can frightened. Both of them knew that this was not going to work and that they had to figure out a way to get out.

Tangtang heard Guoguo’s shout while he was fighting with someone with a knife, “Brother, hurry up and leave. I’ll cover up for you. Go find Uncle Lu Qi and ask him to send someone over as soon as possible.”

Tangtang pushed away the man who were fighting with him. He looked back and saw that Guoguo was fighting against three or four people. Tangtang wanted to go over and help, but Guoguo spoke again, “Don’t worry about me. Just go and find Uncle Lu Qi. We can’t let them get into the town. Dad had promised it to uncle when he left. Hurry up and leave!”

After Guoguo shouted, Tangtang saw a knife cut to Guoguo’s arm. Guoguo groaned and the knife in his hand was loosened, but fortunately, it did not fall.

Seeing Guoguo like this, Tangtang gritted his teeth and rushed out. He could only ask reinforcements as soon as possible to get Guoguo out of danger.
