When Yuan Wang Di brought back the news, and everyone from the Yuan family was busy packing their things, Yuan Pan Di, Yuan Lai Di, and Yuan Zhao Di also rushed back.
The three brothers had already walked through the entire path and confirmed they could bypass the Daliang gate's checkpoint and reach the Great Xia's territory.
"Good, good, the heavens have eyes!" Old Yuan almost cried tears of joy.
The joy in his eyes grew when he looked at Yuan Bao, who was in Madame Li's arms. The joy in his eyes grew. In his opinion, if it wasn't for the arrival of this granddaughter's blessing, their whole family might have already become ashes.
"Are you all done?"
"Alright, I'm done!"
"I'm done!"
"Then let's go quickly. We'll try to get out of here before dark!"
It was just noon, and Old Yuan was confident that he could bring his family around the Daliang gate and arrive in Great Xia.
...
A group of Great Yin's soldiers was silently making their way toward the temporary wooden thatched hut just as the Yuan family's men were advancing toward a small path hidden in the forest,
To prevent the people from escaping, the Great Yin not only set up many checkpoints at the border but also issued a decree that anyone who reported the fleeing people would be rewarded with one silver tael per person as long as it was verified.
The Yuan family had come here to inquire about information about the Daliang gate. Even though they had always been very careful, they did not notice that others had long targeted them.
"Increase the speed! That family, old and young, added together, has nearly twenty people. That's twenty taels of silver!"
The junior officer who led the team looked at his subordinates who had failed to live up to his expectations. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't take down the Yuan family by himself, he wouldn't have brought them along.
The group of people hurried over and finally arrived at the Yuan family's temporary residence in the middle of the afternoon. However, the house was empty.
"To hell with it! It's all your fault, you bunch of trash!"
When the leader saw the twenty taels of silver flying away, he immediately kicked the soldier beside him to the ground.
"Why do I have a bunch of useless subordinates like you?" The junior officer cursed for a long time, but it was of no use.
The Yuan family was unaware that they had almost been captured.
...
By the time the Great Yin's soldiers arrived at the thatched house, the Yuan family had already covered more than half the journey. They stood on the peak of a mountain, looking to their left was the Daliang gate, and to their right was the Xiao gate of Great Xia.
The path that Yuan Pan Di and the others had found allowed them to bypass the Daliang gate and the Xiao gate.
"Father, big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, this small road is the root of our family's foothold in Great Xia!"
When the family crossed the small road and stepped into the land of Great Xia, Yuan Yin Di looked at his father and brothers with bright eyes.
"Little five, don't mess around!" Old Yuan glared at his youngest son, "We're not the first to take this path. There were already people who passed before us, so why didn't they report it?"
"You're smart, but some things can't be solved by being smart!" Old Yuan looked at Yuan Yin Di with a serious face.
However, Yuan Yin Di did not take his father's warning seriously. He replied calmly, "Father, I've thought about this before. It's just that I think the opposite of what you're thinking!"
