After the immortal disappeared

"Luckily Shuang'er still has contact with the Yuanxiang Association. It was the right thing for our family to save money and send you to Lingxu City." Father Fan took a bite of food and said, "These officials in Yao Kingdom are usually arrogant and speak in a pretentious tone. Once the country changes, they are nothing and can't be trusted at all."

A coup d'état took place in Yao State, Bai Tan came to power, and the existing bureaucratic system immediately collapsed.

Mr. Mi, Fan's boss, was unable to save himself and had died;

Lord Mi's boss's boss's boss, Lord Wang, the chief official of the Censorate who once bought Youhu Villa and Han Qinglou from Fan's father, also died on the night of the Baitan mutiny. More than 300 members of his family were killed!

Mrs. Wang asked again, "At the hometown gathering, Lu Shuheng must be a very important figure, right?"

"There are many talented people in the Yuanxiang Society. I heard that the Nine Nether Emperor has assigned tasks to each of them."

Father Fan sighed, "He Xiao is actually the Nine Nether Emperor! This matter still feels like a dream to me, it doesn't seem real at all! My son has been with the Nine Nether Emperor for several months!"

Who would believe this, who would dare to believe it?

Mrs. Wang took a cup and drank water: "So, he killed Xue Zongwu, right?"

The father and son looked at each other and said nothing.

The murderer who killed Xue Zongwu was hanging around in front of Emperor Yao all day long, chatting and laughing with the officials of Yao State all day long, and took away so much money from Yao State.

Looking back at the past, He Xiao’s scheming was truly terrifying.

But He Xiao will soon become their backer. Who doesn't want to cling to a thicker thigh than the better?

Madam Wang continued, "After we settle down in Huancheng, try to contact the Yuanxiang Association, or find He Xiao through the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce, and ask him to arrange a good job for you. You are good friends, and he cares about our past friendship, so we will have a better life in the future. Even Lu Shuheng can be the city guard, so you are much better than him, so you can naturally be qualified for a better position."

Seeing that the two elders had almost finished their meal, Fan Shuang felt bitter and finally couldn't help but said, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid it won't work."

The Fan couple was surprised: "Why?"

Mrs. Wang even asked, "Which of my words was wrong?"

Fan Shuang said bitterly: "Brother Lu was killed, and Huancheng was taken away by Guo Baiyu."

"Ha, what..." Mrs. Wang suddenly stood up and opened her mouth, but before she could say a word, she fainted.

She had endured a bumpy and arduous journey, and had only relied on the belief that "everything would be fine once she got to Huancheng" to hold on until now. This belief suddenly collapsed, and she could not hold on any longer.

Fan and his son quickly hugged her, pinched her Ren Zhong acupoint and fed her medicine, and Mrs. Wang slowly woke up.

She didn't cry loudly, but her eyes were lifeless: "What should we do? What should we do in the future?"

Father Fan subconsciously looked at his son. He was so comfortable only in the officialdom of Yao State. Once he left the comfort zone of the first half of his life, he would be like a floating duckweed in a foreign land, not knowing what to do.

Only at this time did he feel that he was old and had to rely on his son.

Fan Shuang was not known for his quick wits. When faced with such an emergency, he thought for a long time downstairs. Then he said, "We still have enough money. Let's stay in Miancheng for a few days. I will find out the location of the Black Armor Army's base camp, and then we can go there to join them."

"Don't worry, father and mother. There are dragon god territories everywhere. We don't have to travel for long."

The Fan family of three is actually very lucky.

Two days before Bai Tan's rebellion, Fan's father brought his whole family back to the countryside to attend a funeral. Before the white banquet in the town was over, they heard that the situation in the capital had changed. Bai Tan went mad, first killed King Yao, then killed half of the officials in the city, and bathed Tianshui in blood!

Later, Bai Tan was given the bloody reputation of “massacre of half the city”.

The Fan family didn't dare to go back, so they hid in the countryside to avoid the storm, while trying to find out the news from Tianshui City. Soon they also received bad news:

The Fan residence in the capital was also looted; even the jade beasts on the roof were stolen. The rest of the family members and friends either died or escaped, with no contact left.

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she covered her chest and burst into tears.

The Fan and Wang families' assets are both in Tianshui City, and they will not bring all their savings with them when they go out to attend the funeral, so:

"That's a good deal for those evil thieves. How hateful! How hateful!"

Afterwards, news about Bai Tan and the chaos of fighting between various armies came one after another, causing the Fan family to wish they could hide in the countryside.

The Fan family has built up so many relationships in Tianshui City for a long time, but now none of them can be used; the relatives and friends who were once thought to be reliable are now nowhere to be found.

This is the norm in war, this is the norm in troubled times!

However, when the nest is overturned, all the eggs will remain intact. The flames of war quickly spread throughout the country, and the warlords were getting closer and closer to the countryside.

Fan Shuang knew who Yang Shan belonged to, and the two sides' intelligence matched up. A few days later, he heard that his good friend Lu Shuheng had become the city guard of Huancheng.

Lu Shuheng was a friend he met in Lingxu City. After returning to the Shining Gold Plain, they became more familiar with each other because of the hometown gathering organized by He Lingchuan.

It just so happened that Huancheng was not far from Yaojing, so Fan Shuang immediately took her parents to seek refuge with Lu Shuheng.

Needless to say, the hardships along the way were just as difficult as the stable life they had lived in Yao Country in the past few decades. Now, it was as dangerous as it was difficult. All the hardships they had not experienced in the first half of their lives were made up for in just a few hundred miles.

Fan Shuang had never imagined that Yaodi would become so chaotic that even their loyal old guard died at the hands of the bandits.

At this time, he deeply understood the profound meaning of that sentence:

I would rather be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times.

Fortunately, he had been on many diplomatic missions abroad before, so he was not completely unfamiliar with the flash gold. Although the journey was bumpy and full of hardships, he was finally approaching Huancheng.

Unexpectedly, a huge thunder was waiting for him ahead!

Madam Wang glared at him, "You insisted on joining this Lu guy, saying that the Dragon God's territory would be safe in the future, and that there was a future for you to follow the Black Armor Army. What do you say now? The Lu guy himself was hacked to death, how can this area still be safe? Why don't we just go back to where we came from? We still have a house and property in our hometown, so we won't starve to death. Do you think that Bai Tan, no matter how vicious he is, can he rob and kill everyone?"

"I can't go back!" Fan Shuang said firmly, "Now the entire Yaodi belongs to Bai Tan. He and He Xiao are not on good terms, and he is a mortal enemy of Emperor Jiuyou. I was very close to He Xiao in the past. If we are caught by Bai Tan, the three of us will lose our heads!"

Father Fan hesitated and said, "But behind Bai Tan stands the Qingyang Regent, and I heard that he has the support of the gods. Can the Nine Nether Emperor defeat him?"

Qingyang is already the guardian of Heavenly Palace, but no one will speak up to correct him now.
