"I don't dare gamble on it!"
Yuan Yindi sighed deeply, "Qingyuan River is a place full of trouble now."
"Before, the navy masqueraded as water thieves, and later, the Seventh Prince came as an imperial envoy, only to die here. Not long ago, the Fourth Prince, Eighth Prince, and Ninth Prince led troops to the south to quell the Jiangnan rebellion. In the end, the Eighth Prince fell off the ship and disappeared without a trace."
"Father, just think about these events, and you'll know how dangerous this is!"
After he finished speaking, Yuan Yindi fell silent.
He had said everything he needed to say.
As for the decision, it was not his to make.
Old Yuan was silent.
Previously, Yuan Yindi had predicted that Great Yin would fall into chaos, and it turned out he was right.
Now, Yuan Yindi said that they couldn't stay in Linhe Village, and it was almost certainly true.
But the problem also arose, if they couldn't stay in Linhe Village, where could they go?
The war had ended, yet they were forced to leave their home, which was just distressing.
"Xiao Wu, where should we go?"
Old Yuan asked the question, having already made a decision.
Of course, this decision hadn't been discussed with his two brothers.
But in Old Yuan's view, whether this was discussed or not, the outcome was inevitable.
"Head west, to Daxia!"
Yuan Yindi softly said, "Although Daxia is in the harsh and cold northwest, the six generations of Emperor Xia have been enterprising, and if one day the world is united, it will certainly be Daxia that achieves it."
"When I was at the academy, I heard from a veteran traveler that Daxia has an open residence registration, and the people from all states become Xia people as soon as they enter Xia Land."
"Any land developed by the people belongs entirely to them!"
"Father, with our Yuan Family having many robust young men, it's the perfect time to excel in Daxia."
"Moreover, Daxia adopts the system of military merit. By that time, as long as you have military achievements on the battlefield, even obtaining the lowest title can protect the entire family and clan!"
Hearing this, Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi were both excited.
Since childhood, the two have loved fencing and martial arts, but in Great Yin, the social classes of scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants are essentially fixed. Farmers can study and thus enter officialdom. However, if they join the military, they become a military household forever.
Military households enroll in the army for generations, but most of the time, a military household equates to being servants in an officer's family.
Thus, in Great Yin, there is a saying that good men don't become soldiers.
"I will discuss this matter with your Second Uncle and Third Uncle before deciding!"
Although the idea of leaving had emerged, Old Yuan hadn't made up his mind about where to go.
Even though Yuan Yindi painted Daxia in such a good light, Old Yuan was unsure because no one could prove that everything Yuan Yindi said was true.
After all, what Yuan Yindi said was also hearsay.
"Enough, it's New Year today, don't talk about these frustrating things!"
Old Yuan waved his hand, drawing a conclusion to today's conversation.
But was this matter really over?
The answer was naturally no.
After Old Yuan led Yuan Yindi away, the four brothers of Yuan Pandi also returned to their rooms and discussed the situation outside with their wives, sharing Yuan Yindi's suggestions.
"What kind of world is this, really?"
Lying on the bed, Yuan Bao listened to his father's account of everything and felt uneasy.
