Chapter 156: Prince Su rebels and war breaks out

The north was getting closer, but the Lu family members sighed every day, fearing that their ancestors would abandon them.

Lu Xingyao was the most panicked among them. He went to his grandfather every day to find out whether his ancestors had come.

Lu Qing was old to begin with, and was physically and mentally exhausted from traveling every day. He just wanted to have some peace and quiet at night, but his grandson always came to him and muttered to him, which annoyed him so much that his ears were almost callused, and he also started to care about this matter.

Although the ancestor had said in advance that he would be busy, he did not expect that he would be busy for half a month. He was worried, wondering if the ancestor's frequent assistance to them had caused any trouble.

However, he could not ask about his worries, for fear of making the ancestor unhappy.

During the past half month, in addition to the fact that my ancestors did not come often, the more important thing was that Prince Su, who had 50,000 troops stationed on the border, rebelled. Under the pretext of overthrowing the tyrant, the cities along the way were powerless to resist, and some even voluntarily surrendered as a gesture of goodwill, including the wealthy Lao County.

When the war broke out, people were displaced and natural disasters struck various places. Many businessmen wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. The price of food kept rising, and it became difficult for people to even have a full meal.

Everyone in the exile team was in danger, especially the officials. They were almost reaching the north and didn't know whether they could return to the capital.

After all, Prince Su's army is well-trained. Going back at this time, whether they surrender to Prince Su or continue to be loyal to the court, is tantamount to suicide. They even thought that the North is far away, so they might as well stay in the North and make plans after the war subsides. After all, staying alive is the most important thing.

At this moment, they were no longer in a hurry to travel. After all, the imperial court was in chaos and had no time to care about these exiled criminals.

What Lu Qing was most worried about was that the army stationed in the south was taken away by Prince Su. Without a large army stationed on the border, if an external enemy took the opportunity to start a war, Dajin might be unable to deal with the external enemy, and the south might fall.

But now, he was full of worries but had no solution.

Noticing the old man's low mood, Lu Xingyao stopped bothering him.

The exiles are now being lazy, and as soon as evening comes and the sun sets, they begin to rest.

Those who had originally been obsessed with the wealth and splendor in the capital city now knew that the northern land they were about to arrive in was safer because of the war.

However, both Xu and Song were worried about their families far away in the capital, fearing that Prince Su's army would break through the city gate one day and something might happen to their families.

The two of them couldn't eat and lost a lot of weight.

At this point, Liu Xiangbai was also worried about his wife and daughter. He even planned to secretly return to Beijing, but when he looked at Shunyu and Lu Qing and thought of their grand plans, he endured it.

Under such circumstances, the prisoners and the officers got along better than before, and even passed by streams to see if they could catch some fish to roast.

Du Hangwu privately asked his fellow officials about their opinions and was relieved to learn that they were all planning to stay in the north.

Lu Qing knew that his two daughters-in-law had been absent-minded these days, and many members of the clan also had relatives far away in the capital. After thinking about it for two days, he felt that it was time to make arrangements in advance, and immediately asked his son to find everyone over.

It was not yet completely dark, branches were placed on the campfire to roast fish, and the Lu family members were sitting around the old man.

Looking at the tribesmen in front of him, Lu Qing said in a deep voice, "You should have heard about what happened recently along the way."

The tribesmen remained silent and looked at the old man in silence.

"I know you are all worried about your relatives far away in the capital. Now that the two armies are at war, it is very likely that the capital will be captured in the future. By then, I am afraid that the safety of your relatives will be in jeopardy."

When Lu Qing said this, the tribesmen were very nervous.

"Although the north is bitterly cold, the army stationed in the north has not been moved away. Staying away from the war can save your life. If you are willing, you can write a letter in person and ask someone to send it to the capital by express horse, inviting your relatives to leave the capital and take a shortcut to the north so that your family can reunite."

Hearing this, the tribesmen looked at each other in bewilderment, "But there are still the Su Wang's army along the way."

What if they run into him and something goes wrong?

The three sons all looked at the old man. Lu Zhou and Lu Yang were worried, while Lu Xingyan remembered the conversation between the old man and King Su in Ji County.

It seems that at that time, the old man had already thought of today's step.

On the surface, they fled the capital to prevent their relatives from being persecuted by the emperor. In fact, it was to prevent Prince Su from using these people to threaten the Lu family after the incident.

Lu Qing said in a deep voice, "You don't have to worry about this. Prince Su's men will escort you all the way."

Everyone was shocked, including Liu Xiangbai who was standing by. Lu Qing actually submitted to Prince Su? !

Gu Xingzhao was very happy after looking at the income of the past half month. He declined Xu Shisan's suggestion to have a big meal to celebrate. He ordered dozens of boxed lunches to take home for the first time in a long time and also bought a box of apples.

In the past half month, I have paid less attention to the Lu family, and I don't know how Lu Qing and the others are doing.

Fortunately, the supermarket is back on track and there is someone taking care of the trivial matters now, so I can finally have some free time.

She brought dozens of lunch boxes and fruits and traveled into the ancient times through the TV.

She just happened to hear Lu Qing's last words and missed what happened in the past half month. She was confused.

What happened? Why would the Su Wang's troops escort them all the way?

At this moment, Lu Qing gave the clansmen some time to consider, but this time could not be too long, just one or two days.

Gu Xingzhao put the lunch box aside for the time being and said, "Lu Qing, what happened?"

The voice rang out, and the long-lost concern of the old ancestor almost made Lu Qing burst into tears, "Ancestor, you are here!"

It was like a helpless child meeting a helpful elder, and his uneasy heart suddenly calmed down.

In fact, it is not just the tribesmen who are afraid of being abandoned by their ancestors.

The clan members regard him as the backbone. As long as he is there, the Lu family will not be in chaos. So no matter what happens, he cannot panic as the head of the family.

But no one knew that he was also afraid in his heart.

His ancestors saved his life in times of crisis and helped him many times, and he had unknowingly regarded his ancestors as his backbone.

Although they can't always rely on their ancestors, the Lu family's current situation is indeed difficult. It is only because of the ancestors that he dares to plan for the future. If the ancestors are gone,

Lu Qing can't imagine what the future will be like.

Gu Xingzhao didn't know that he was now a life-saving straw for Lu Qing. Seeing Lu Qing's excited expression, he subconsciously thought that something big had happened.

But when she looked around, she found that everything seemed to be fine, and everyone could even grill fish.

Lu Qing began to tell his ancestors what had happened in the past half month.

Gu Xingzhao looked at the grilled fish, licked her lips, and wondered if she could get a piece of fish later.

She suddenly thought of the pile of unused barbecue ingredients in her kitchen!

Nothing is more important than eating. She immediately ignored Lu Qing and ran back to the modern era. She put all the bottles and jars needed for grilling fish into her bag, took out a lot of grillable things like meatballs from the refrigerator, and even brought a few bottles of cocktails and drinks.

At this time, Lu Qing was still talking about the worries of the people. He sighed and said, "These shouldn't bother you."

After waiting for a long time without a reply from the ancestor, Lu Qing was stunned, "Ancestor, are you listening?"

"Ancestors?"

"???"

Ancestors passed away?
