Li Yu turned to glare at Zhou Jia and nuzzled at him, signaling him to leave quickly. Unexpectedly, the fool walked towards Li Yu.

When Zhou Jia got closer, he found that the group of people were officers and soldiers. The middle-aged man in the lead looked like a general. Zhou Jia felt excited and walked towards Li Yu.

Li Yu turned his head and didn't want to look at him. Zhou Jia walked to Li Yu, took Li Yu's hand, and said to her softly: "Follow me."

Li Yu muttered in a low voice, "Why did you come back? Did you come back to die?"

Zhou Jia's heart warmed, and he led Li Yu a few steps away from the tall man, bowed and saluted, "Student Zhou Jia pays homage to the general."

The tall man looked at Zhou Jia, frowned and asked, "Student? Are you a scholar?"

Zhou Jia bowed and responded: "Yes, general."

The general walked up to Zhou Jia and looked at his imposing manner. "Since you are a scholar, how come you are here?"

Zhou Jia bowed and handed over the identity document, "Return to the general, we are from Qingshui Town, Qingshan County. This time, Qingshui Town suffered from drought and locust plague, and bandits came to plunder. In desperation, the students had to lead With my fiancée and some fellow villagers, I want to find a place to settle down that has not been affected by the disaster."

After reading the document, the general returned it to Zhou Jia, nodded and said: "The drought and locust plague in Qingzhou Prefecture are very serious this time, and I'm afraid it will continue." Then he looked at Li Yu again, "This girl is your fiancée ? I think she has extraordinary skills, I wonder if she is the daughter of some family in Qingzhou?"

Zhou Jia cupped his hands and replied: "Back to the general, the student's fiancée is either a daughter of some family, or an ordinary civilian girl."

The young man cupped his hands towards Li Yu and thanked him: "Thank you very much for saving my life. I just saw her with such fierce moves. I wonder who she studied under?"

Li Yu prevaricates casually, "As for the little general, I don't know who my master is. He comes to me every time, and I can't find him."

The young man was a little surprised after hearing this. The general looked at him and smiled, "Those people in the mountains are like this. They act based on their heart and ignore the secular ethics."

"Sister, (Yu'er), are you okay?" Li Mei and Li Qing ran over from behind and grabbed Li Yu to check nervously. The village chief and villagers gathered around.

Li Yu lamented in his heart: Now everything is better.

Zhou Jia bowed to the general and said: "General, we will leave after the villagers have come to find us."

The general looked at Li Yu and then at the fellow villagers, and said to Zhou Jia with a smile: "Zhou Xiucai, since you want to find a place that is not affected by the disaster, come with us to Tongzhou! To be honest, I am the governor of Tongzhou. General Shen Yu, for the sake of your fiancée and these heroes helping my nephew, I will make appropriate arrangements for you."

After hearing this, Zhou Jia thought to himself: As long as we don't kill people and silence them, we originally planned to go to Tongzhou. It will be safe if we can follow the officers and soldiers along this way.

Zhou Jia raised his head and bowed his head in gratitude, "Students pay homage to General Shen. Being able to go to Tongzhou with you is a blessing that students and fellow villagers cannot ask for."

Shen Yu waved his hand and smiled heartily, "Okay, let's set off!"

The Zhou family bowed and responded: "General Shen, please allow me to speak to the villagers."

Shen Yu nodded in agreement, and Zhou Jia turned to the village chief and said, "Grandpa Chen, this is General Shen who is stationed in Tongzhou. General Shen invited us to go to Tongzhou together and will help us make arrangements."

When the village chief heard that the mighty man in front of him was a general, he knelt down and kowtowed excitedly: "The common people pay homage to General Shen."

Shen Yu smiled and helped the village chief up, and said to the village chief with a pleasant face: "Old man, you don't need to find a place to escape, just come with me to Tongzhou! We have plenty of water in Tongzhou and few droughts, and the fields are also fertile. The people are ! It will be better if we have more fields."

The village chief looked at Zhou Jia, who nodded and said, "Grandpa, if we follow General Shen all the way, we no longer have to be afraid of bandits."

After hearing this, the village chief quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "The common people thank General Shen for everyone."

Shen Yu smiled and helped the village chief up, "Old man, please get up quickly."

Shen Yu left behind a young general named Shen Wu and four personal soldiers to follow Li Yu and others. He left first with the young man and other troops.

The young man on the road asked Shen Yu, "Uncle, actually we don't need to keep them. I don't think they are bad people."

Shen Yu looked at the young man and laughed loudly: "I thought you would become suspicious after this murder, but unexpectedly, you are still as generous as before."

The young man shook his head and said, "Uncle, I have changed, but I can see from their eyes that these people are different from those people."

Shen Yu burst into laughter, "Okay, I hope I'm just paranoid, we'll see what happens!"

The village chief watched Shen Yu and the others walking away, and asked Zhou Jia in a low voice, "Mr. Zhou, following the officers and soldiers won't make us become military households, right?"

Zhou Jia shook his head, "Probably not. I'm afraid there are some reasons for this that I don't know very well."

The village chief nodded, "They are all afraid that they will be turned into military households. I will go over and tell everyone." Everyone felt relieved after hearing the explanations from the village chief and Zhou Jia.

The village chief looked at them and whispered: "As long as we don't become military households, we won't be living anywhere! Besides, we originally planned to go to Tongzhou. General Shen also said that Tongzhou has sufficient water resources, and it will be safer if we have officers and soldiers following us."

"Okay, then let's follow the officers and soldiers!" Everyone packed up their luggage scattered on the ground and started to set off.

Zhou Jia glanced at Shen Wu who was riding in front, looked at Li Yu and whispered, "The queen's maiden name is also Shen, and her brothers are all military generals. I wonder if this is General Shen?"

Li Yu smiled and said, "Whatever! We've already met him and we can just pretend we don't know. Besides, we are going to Tongzhou in the first place. It will be much safer with them escorting us along the way."

Zhou Jia smiled and nodded in praise, "Yeah! You still think clearly."

Li Yu leaned against Zhou Jia tiredly, and the mule cart staggered towards Tongzhou.

With the officers and soldiers escorting Li Yu and the others, it was like having a talisman. They walked for more than half a month without incident, and arrived outside Tongzhou City in the early morning of August.

The young general Shen Wu pointed at the towering city walls of Tongzhou City and boasted proudly to Zhou Jia, "Mr. Zhou, look at how good our Tongzhou is. Even the city walls are higher than elsewhere. I don't understand those people who always say that we are a barbaric land. , all like to escape towards the border of Kyoto."

Zhou Jia smiled and nodded, "That's because everyone doesn't know how good Tongzhou is. It would be nice to know more about it."

Shen Wu took everyone into the city. Li Yu saw that the roads in the city were spacious and clean, there were many shops on both sides of the streets, and the pedestrians on the streets looked peaceful.

Shen Wu took Li Yu and the others to the garrison yamen. Outside the yamen, Shen Wu said to Zhou Jia: "Mr. Zhou, please wait a moment and I will ask the general where he plans to place you."

Zhou Jia nodded in agreement and watched Shen Wu enter the yamen, then turned to look at Li Yu and the village chief, "Everyone, please rest for a while and wait for the general's arrangements."

The villagers waited uneasily at the yamen gate and secretly prayed: God bless, the general will give us a good place!
