Girl, there's something wrong with you

The fact that the Cheng family, the capital of God, is about to move to Jingkou has caused some waves among the gentry.

Since Yi Guan's southern migration, the vast majority of the gentry who moved south have chosen to take root and settle in Jiankang City.

The reason is naturally that the emperor is the center of power, and family rank can be exchanged for corresponding political status and resources.

Local aristocratic families have a lot of difficulties in this regard. For example, the Shen family was almost wiped out after Wang Chuzhong's death. The patriarch Shen Shiju was originally a fourth-grade family, but his family did not even have a fifth-grade rank, so he could not enter the circle of nobles at all.

Now that the Cheng family, the capital of God, is moving away from Jiankang, everyone has different opinions.

Some say that the Cheng family has Beifu troops there, so the strategic focus has moved north. However, in terms of being suitable for family development, Jingkou's advantages in all aspects are far inferior to Jiankang City.

Some people say that the Cheng family did not have fifth-grade supernatural beings, so they were forced to withdraw from the status of the noble family and planned to settle down and become a local sage. However, even if you run away, you shouldn't go to the dangerous Jiangbjikou. Isn't it nice to Lin'an City in the rear?

Others say that the Cheng family felt that the war could not be won, so they ran away early, which sounds even more outrageous. Although everyone is going to Lin'an to prepare backup, it is obviously too early to talk about the outcome of the war. No family with the fifth surname is ready to evacuate. Why are you, a small fifth-grade family, in such a hurry to leave? Are you more knowledgeable than the Five Family members?

In short, there are various theories, but none of them sound tenable. In the absence of additional follow-up discussion materials, public opinion will soon enter a trend of ebbing.

Of course, not all aristocratic families will forget this matter. For example, there are families behind the big shots in Taicheng's cabinet, and there are several families that are close to the Cheng family in the capital of God.

When the Xing family in Hejian and Xing Yuanzhi returned to their clan, they retreated and secretly said to Uncle Xing:

"Grandfather, the Cheng family, the capital of the gods, has moved the whole family to Jingkou. It would be better for us, the Xing family in Hejian, to advance and retreat with our allies as much as possible."

Uncle Xing was surprised when he heard this, and then showed an expression of relief.

Although Xing Yunzhi didn't say it clearly, the words "advance and retreat with allies" already gave him enough hints:

The Cheng family in the divine capital must have received some sensitive information, so they chose to run away before the war situation became clear.

Xing Yunzhi and Cheng Jinyang were engaged, and the information about each other was not hidden from her. On the basis of not betraying each other, she also tried her best to think about the family. This is how the younger generation of Cheng and Xing's family became connected.

In the end, Uncle Xing decided to send as many potential clan members as possible, as well as old and young women and children in the family to Lin'an City. Only part of the backbone force that had combat effectiveness was left to guard the clan territory, and the rest followed Xing Yuanzhi to Jingkou. "Help allies."

Xing Yunzhi was speechless when she found out. Clan elder, I tell you secretly that I want you to make preparations in advance, not to let you seduce people into my place! These powerful tribesmen came back with me and said they were going to Jingkou to help our allies. Why didn't everyone know what was going on? You must know that it was me who revealed the news to you!

But the clan members have already arrived, so they have no choice but to silently take him back to the Cheng clan, the capital of the gods. Next, he will be laughed at, despised, and ridiculed by everyone. For the sake of the clan, he can only endure it silently.

Then, at the gate of the Cheng clan in the divine capital, she saw Chu Qingqing...and a dozen or so Chu clan members around her.

Xing Yuanzhi:………………

Chu Qingqing:………………

"That." Chu Qingqing looked at the sky and made up an excuse, "The weather is so nice today. I'm taking the tribe out for a walk and visiting the Cheng family in the capital city."

"What a coincidence." Xing Yunzhi tried her best to keep her expression calm, "I'll also bring my tribe here... cough, let's meet Jinyang."

"Yuan Zhi, you have brought so many clan members." Chu Qingqing said quietly.

"Everyone is more concerned about me." Xing Yunzhi looked away.

Chu Qingqing's story is actually similar: although he couldn't explain it clearly, he hinted to his father that the outcome of the war might be "catastrophic."

It's just that the sixth-grade girl Qing Qing didn't have the full trust of her father. She couldn't bear to remind her repeatedly, so she sent a dozen elite tribesmen to follow her to Jingkou. It was not so much to preserve the family fire as to protect Qing Qing.

The two girls led the tribe into the Cheng clan's land and soon alerted Cheng Jinyang.

After he learned about this, he was speechless. We can only let Cheng Huaiyan arrange for these people to temporarily settle in the clan area, and then set off with the Cheng clan members later.

In any case, the addition of these Xing and Chu clan members did objectively strengthen the Beifu Army's combat power. It was Azhi and Qingqing who secretly leaked information to the family without telling themselves, which made Cheng Jinyang a little unhappy.

What if we can't tell anyone else about this? Did you all turn a deaf ear to me?

Oh, it seems I haven’t told them not to say it, so that’s okay.

The third person to come back was Wang Wanrou, alone and without anyone.

The following Cui Jinqi, Li Qingwan, and Zheng Qiupei are similar. After all, the resources and energy of the five surnamed families are too great. There is no need to consider the survival of the family now. It is too late to react when the war situation becomes clearer.

Unexpectedly, Yang Wangshu went back for a while and actually brought his two brothers, Yang Siping and Yang Quanqi.

The two brothers-in-law were not sent by the Hongnong Yang family, but volunteered to accompany their sister to Jingkou. Among them, Yang Siping was worried that his sister would be bullied by Miss Wang (because he had some unpleasant troubles with Wang Xinzhi last time), while Yang Quanqi came to the shogunate to seek an official position and came here to make contributions.

For his two older brothers, Xiao Wangshu seemed depressed, his shoulders were slumped, and he didn't even touch the keyboard for a long time.

Cheng Jinyang could only talk to two young masters of the Yang family, and one of them was promised a shogunate position.

Unexpectedly, among the Hakka eldest ladies living here, Lu Qingyun from the Fanyang Lu family also chose to stay.

Cheng Yuexian talked with her, but nothing came of it, so Cheng Jinyang guessed that someone was greedy for her body.

But Xiao Yunyun is pretty cute, so just stay.

Everyone had arrived. Cheng Jinyang went to visit the princess sister for the last time. After saying goodbye to her, he took a boat down the Yangtze River and went straight to Jingkou.

After the news reached the Taicheng cabinet, Yu Zhongshu suddenly regretted it after learning about it.

Of course, now the war is only limited to the north of Gushu, and Jiankang City has not entered a wartime state. There is no reason to stop the family from "relocating" at this time.

What's more, it's just the Cheng family and Hejian Xing family who left the fifth level of the divine capital. The overall combat power loss to Jiankang City can be said to be minimal, and other noble families will not pay attention to this matter for too long.

Rather than offending Cheng Jinyang on this matter, it would be better to sell him out.

The so-called regret is actually just a little bit unconfident about the decision I made.

"Leaving?" he asked towards the study door.

"He's gone." The eldest princess of Nankang walked in and said, "I'm taking people to Jingkou."

"I'm afraid it's not the dragon returning to the sea, but the tiger returning to the mountain..." Yu Zhongshu put down the pen in his hand and said with emotion.

"What did uncle say?" The eldest princess of Nankang said angrily, "The Liyang army has colluded with the demons. Jinyang is guarding Jingkou, and the demons are also his great enemies. How can there be peace between the two? If uncle does not put it back, then Jingkou will either rebel again, fall into the hands of demons, or send someone to develop from scratch. Which of these three outcomes is better?"

"Uncle, that's not what you meant." Yu Zhongshu immediately stopped talking and laughed, "Nankang, don't be too sensitive. I don't have much ill will towards Cheng Jinyang, but I am in a powerful and confidential position, so I can't do anything when things happen. Don’t think too much about it, just proceed with caution.”

"Since you are willing to vouch for him, I naturally believe you." Seeing Nankang's expression softening a little, Yu Yuangui made a joke and said humorously, "If there is really no harmonious war in the future, maybe your uncle's family will also go Join him and learn from those aristocratic families to keep their fire. Hahahaha..."
