"You ..."
Old Yuan looked at his brother and pointed at him with his shaking hands. He wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
Although furious, he couldn't think of any concrete words to refute.
Their future in Great Xia was uncertain.
It would be risky to stay here, but they had been safe in the mountains for more than half a year.
"Big brother, third brother, I know you're worried about me! But I thought about it all night yesterday and decided to stay!"
"I'll have the children split up. We'll stay in this mountain and find a few safe places to stay temporarily. You can't put all your eggs in one basket!"
It was clear that Yuan Lu had made up his mind to be able to say these words. Moreover, he had his plans in his heart.
"Alright!"
There was not much Old Yuan could say after hearing his brother's speech, and it would be a waste of time to convince someone who had already made up his mind.
In the end, the Old Yuan family was split into two.
Although the three brothers had already split up, they still lived in the Lin He village and cared for each other.
"I won't force you to leave since you already made up your mind. When the world is at peace, I will send someone to find you in the future."
"Big brother, I'll be waiting!"
After a simple conversation, the Yuan family split. Old Yuan and Yuan Shou took their family members and headed north of the mountain. Once they were out of the mountain, they headed west straight for Great Xia.
As for the Yuan Lu family that remained in the mountains, they took advantage of the spring season to open up a third shelter in the mountains.
When the time came, Yuan Lu would separate his sons to prevent them from being wiped out if they encountered something terrible.
...
Spring returned to the earth, and all living things revived.
After the group from the Yuan family left the mountain, they split up again.
As Yuan Lu said, one could not put all their eggs in one basket.
Old Yuan's family headed west, their destination Great Xia. Yuan Shou took his family and headed north. Their destination was Bei Li.
Regardless of whether the world was unified by Great Xia, Bei Li, or Great Yin, the Yuan family's lineage would not end.
Fortunately, Great Yin had defeated Bei Li and quelled the rebellion in Jiangnan. The prestige of the imperial court had been renewed, and Great Yin was still considered peaceful.
Otherwise, the Yuan family would have met with all sorts of disasters on the way.
After a month's journey, Old Yuan's family finally arrived at the Daliang gate, where Great Yin faced Great Xia.
If the Yuan family wanted to enter Great Xia, they had to pass through Daliang gate. Unfortunately, since the imperial court of Great Yin did not wish for the commoners to escape to Great Xia, they set up layers of barriers at Daliang gate.
"Little five, what should we do now?"
Daliang gate had many barriers, making it too difficult to pass through to enter Great Xia.
The situation worried Old Yuan as he heard many rumors that the imperial court had zero tolerance for the people who wanted to escape Great Xia.
Once they were caught, they would definitely die.
"Father, don't be anxious!" Yuan Yin Di had been thinking of ways these two days. He knew no matter how strict Great Yin's defense was, there had to be a loophole.
After all, all the checkpoints were guarded by people. As long as they were human, they would have flaws.
Besides, if Great Xia wanted to attract people, how could they stand by and do nothing when the surrounding countries were blocking them?
