Xuan Jian was entertaining Bai Yuan and others in the outer room.
"The environment here is simple, and I can only order some tea to entertain you."
"No problem, no need to be so polite."
Bai Yuan and others were not spoiled aristocratic children, so they waved their hands at Xuan Jian, indicating that he should not worry about it.
"I never thought that you were the ones who came to help us that night. I don't even know your names."
Xuan Jian obviously already knew that Assassin was not his real name, but just a pseudonym to deceive everyone.
"Tian Zong Bai Yuan (Confucianism Unknown)!"
Bai Yuan and Wuming no longer concealed their identities and introduced themselves.
"I've got it. Although I don't know why you two helped me, I will remember this kindness in my heart. If you need anything in the future, feel free to come to me!"
Xuan Jian carefully wrote down the two names and made a promise.
"Let's not talk about repaying your gratitude for now. What are you going to do next?"
Bai Yuan simply skipped this topic and brought up the most important thing at the moment.
Xuan Jian was silent for a while, then said: "I plan to take Xianxian south to Chu State, and I happen to have a friend there."
"Go to Chu?" Bai Yuan frowned slightly, "I think it's better to go to Qi than Chu."
"Why?"
After these words were spoken, Xuan Jian, Wuming and others were all a little confused.
Bai Yuan had no choice but to analyze the situation with them.
"Nowadays, the six countries of Qin, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao and Wei are constantly fighting each other. Today you attack me, tomorrow I attack you. Especially Qin, which has been attacking various countries one after another in recent years, is as aggressive as a tiger or a wolf. Under this situation, the people of the six countries are actually not living in peace, except for Qi."
"On the one hand, Qi has been stable since King Jian of Qi ascended the throne, thanks to the support of the Queen Mother. On the other hand, because Qin adopted the strategy of making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones towards the six states in Shandong, the five states were busy saving themselves under the threat of Qin. Therefore, Qi did not face any external threats in the short term, and thus became the most stable country among the seven states."
These are the conclusions Bai Yuan drew based on analysis of historical materials from later generations.
If nothing unexpected happened, Qi would not have experienced war during the more than 40 years of King Jian's reign.
That is to say, at least in the next twenty years, Qi will not be affected by the war. In this way, the people of Qi can naturally live and work in peace to a certain extent.
After hearing this analysis, Xuan Jian and others fell silent.
Because what Bai Yuan said was true. Since King Jian of Qi ascended the throne, for more than ten or twenty years, Qi State has never experienced a war. This seems too happy in this war-torn era!
For those who want to avoid disputes, going to Qi is indeed better than going to other countries.
Xuan Jian was obviously moved by what Bai Yuan said, and thought about the pros and cons in silence.
"I'm just giving you a suggestion, but you have to make your own decision in the end."
Xuan Jian nodded slightly, and then he asked: "I don't know where you are going next?"
"We are planning to go to the Xiaoshengxian Manor in Sanghai, Qi State."
Bai Yuan replied with a smile.
As soon as these words were spoken, Xuan Jian's eyes lit up and he immediately made up his mind.
"So you are going to Qi State as well? That's perfect, we can go together!"
Bai Yuan and Wuming looked at each other.
"There's nothing wrong with traveling together, but have you decided yet?"
"I believe what you said. Qi is indeed a good place. Please wait here for a moment. I will go and discuss it with Xianxian."
Xuan Jian showed great trust in Bai Yuan. After he finished speaking, he went into the inner room to find Wei Xianxian.
Seeing Xuan Jian leaving in a hurry, Bai Yuan and Wuming couldn't help but smile.
At this time, Lu asked curiously: "Brother Bai Yuan, how do you know so much about these things?"
Hearing this question, Wuming and Ningyan also showed curious expressions.
Wuming and Lu were curious about this because they knew that Bai Yuan had never left Taiyi Mountain.
Ningyan was simply curious about Bai Yuan.
Under the gaze of the three people, Bai Yuan just gently touched Lu's head and replied with a smile: "It's very simple, just read more!"
Naturally, his perfunctory answer failed to gain the approval of many people.
But they did not delve into the matter further.
After sitting here for a while, Xuan Jian and Wei Xianxian came out from the inner room.
"We have discussed it and decided to go to Qi State. We would like to go with you so that we can take care of each other on the way!"
Xuan Jian told them the results of the discussion.
Bai Yuan and others were not surprised.
"Of course it's no problem for us to travel together. Just pack your luggage and we can set off."
"We don't have anything to pack, so we can leave now."
Xuan Jian held Wei Xianxian's hand tightly, looked at Wei Xianxian affectionately and said.
In his opinion, as long as he had Wei Xianxian and the child, nothing else mattered.
Feeling Xuan Jian's gentle gaze, Wei Xianxian also responded. The two looked at each other intimately. For a moment, the atmosphere became a little sweet. Bai Yuan felt that he had suffered a critical hit from both of them.
"Cough cough!"
Unable to bear with the sight of this, he acted like a bad guy and interrupted the two people's spellcasting.
After being fed a mouthful of dog food for no apparent reason, Bai Yuan already began to regret agreeing to let the two of them go together.
Chapter 44 This damn desire to win
After adding Xuan Jian and his wife, they set out again for Sanghai Xiaoshengxianzhuang.
With the addition of two more people, the interior of the carriage was not as spacious as before.
Wei Xianxian was holding the child, while Xuan Jian sat beside her, looking at her and the child tenderly.
The two of them exude an atmosphere of love all the time.
Now, Xuan Jian and Wei Xianxian have escaped from Wei Yong's control with the help of Bai Yuan and others, and their hearts are full of hope for their future life.
When Wuming and others saw this scene, they all smiled and felt happy for Xuan Jian and the others.
Because there were many people in the carriage, Xuan Jian and Wei Xianxian were relatively restrained.
They didn't show off their affection all the time, and they also took the initiative to talk to Bai Yuan and others.
During the conversation, I also learned that their visit to Daliang was purely accidental, and coming to help them was a coincidence.
During the conversation, Wei Xianxian specifically asked, "How is my father now?"
Although Wei Yong was a despicable person and was even willing to kill her, he was still her father after all, so she still cared about him.
Bai Yuan and Wuming looked at each other and sighed.
"What your father did was completely exposed. He was arrested that night and is now in prison. I heard that the King of Wei was very angry after knowing the truth, so..."
Bai Yuan did not explain the result in detail, but Xuan Jian and Wei Xianxian both knew what he meant.
This result was already within their expectations.
Wei Yong is unlikely to escape death. If Wei Xianxian is still in Daliang, she will probably be implicated as well.
After hearing the news, Wei Xianxian became a little depressed. She leaned in Xuan Jian's arms, sobbing softly.
As a child, she really didn't want to see her father end up like this.
Xuan Jian patted Wei Xianxian's back gently and comforted her in a low voice.
Bai Yuan and the others remained silent, it was really not easy for them to comfort this kind of thing.
But not long after, Wei Xianxian stopped crying and recovered. She was still very clear-headed when it came to major issues.
Wei Yong has done so many unconscionable things, and this is the retribution he deserves.
So Wei Xianxian would not argue for him. When he ordered the Wei Wuzu to kill her, the father-daughter relationship between them had ended.
"Let everyone laugh!"
She apologized to everyone somewhat embarrassedly.
"We understand how you feel. Let the past be the past. Now you are all going to start a new life. Why not look forward?"
When Bai Yuan said this, he deliberately glanced at Ning Yan who was sitting on the side without saying a word.
Then he got a cold eye.
Ningyan had heard similar words many times, so she didn't react at all.
Wei Xianxian felt much better and nodded to express her gratitude to him.
After a whole day of riding in the carriage, when the sun was about to set, they unfortunately did not find a suitable place to stay.
As a last resort, they had to sleep in the wilderness again.
Fortunately, Bai Yuan and others have become accustomed to this situation.
Except for young ladies from wealthy families like Wei Xianxian, everyone else has more or less had some experience of spending the night outdoors.
After finding a relatively remote and quiet place, they prepared to settle down temporarily.
After parking the carriage, Bai Yuan got out and looked around the surroundings.
"It's still quite cold, so hurry up and make a fire. I'll go see if I can find something to eat before it gets completely dark."
He rubbed his hands, said hello to Wuming and the others, then picked up the Peach Blossom Sword and used his light skills to fly into the woods.
After Bai Yuan left, Xuan Jian took the initiative to take over the task of making a fire.
He found a piece of ground, cleared away the weeds and other things on it, then picked up some drier branches and piled them together, and finally used flint and steel to make fire.
Soon a small fire appeared in front of them, and the warm flames illuminated everyone's faces.
Suddenly everyone felt much warmer.
Everyone sat on the ground around the fire, leaning against each other to keep warm and chat.
Lu did not participate and kept looking in the direction Bai Yuan left.
His expectant look made everyone laugh.
Not long after, Bai Yuan came back with two rabbits.
When they saw the rabbit in his hand, everyone's eyes lit up. They didn't expect that in such a cold weather, Bai Yuan could still gain a lot from this trip.
Lu clapped his hands excitedly: "Great, I can feast on food again tonight!"
Since coming to Daliang, Bai Yuan hasn't cooked a single meal.
Lu never forgot his craftsmanship.
Xuan Jian took the two rabbits proactively and took them aside to deal with them.
He originally thought that he would be able to make do with some dry food tonight, but he didn't expect to be able to eat fresh meat. He was very happy.
This also took advantage of Bai Yuan and others. If he took Wei Xianxian south to the State of Chu and no one was there to take care of them on the way, he would definitely not dare to abandon Wei Xianxian to go hunting.
Soon, Xuan Jian came back with two skewered rabbits.
"Today, my husband and I have benefited from the kindness of several of you. I will let you taste my cooking skills tonight."
He seemed very active and wanted to show off his skills in front of everyone.
He couldn't cook a full meal, but he had no problem roasting a rabbit. This was one of the necessary skills when he was performing missions in Luowang before.
But after hearing his words, Wuming and Lu didn't react, especially Lu, who seemed a little reluctant.
Bai Yuan naturally knew the reason and touched Lu's head.
"Let's each have one. If you are the only one doing this, when will everyone be able to eat?"
Xuan Jian thought about it, then nodded and handed a rabbit to Bai Yuan to roast.
The two were roasting rabbit meat in front of the fire, and Xuan Jian seemed to want to compete with Bai Yuan.
