Mr. Bai left like this, just like a wild dog on the side of the road, no one cares who he is.

The two of them dared not collect his body, otherwise they would also be implicated. Theft of the royal palace was of great importance. At dawn, there were many soldiers at the city gate, so they could not even take out the stolen goods, so they could only hide the things first and then find a way to take them out.

The two separated out of Kaifeng City and returned to Bai Siye's residence. Qiunan threw himself into Guo Hao's arms and started crying.

The deaths of relatives one after another were a big blow to her. Grandma Qiu is old and still has some preparations, but Mr. Bai is in such good health that she will disappear if she says nothing.

After a night of tossing last night, Qiunan fell asleep in Guo Hao's arms. Guo Hao held Qiunan and thought about his next plan.

As the turmoil is still in peace today, Wu Yue and Southern Tang are still peaceful, and Guo Hao plans to go to Southern Tang.

After the founding of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Bian, the lieutenant master, took the basic national policy of protecting the country and ensuring the people, quit the army and stopped fighting, and established a good neighborly country.

Even when a fire broke out in Wu and Yue Kingdom and the armor of the palace was almost burned out, the generals suggested taking the opportunity to attack and eliminate the troubles, he still firmly did not invade and asked the envoy to send gold coins to express his condolences.

At the same time, the Khitan was formed to restrain the Central Plains regime, so the Jiangnan region maintained peace for a long time, and social production gradually recovered and developed rapidly.

At the same time, the government lighted the taxes and levies, encouraged the farmers and sericultures, and encouraged businessmen to exchange sheep and horses with tea and silk with the Central Plains, and traded with the Khitan through sea.

In terms of handicrafts, Nantang's textile industry, printing and dyeing industry, mining and smelting industry, tea making, papermaking, salt drying, shipbuilding, gold and silver ceramics, stationery manufacturing, etc., have all made outstanding achievements.

Not only is the output high, but the process is also fine, and many famous products have emerged.

Liezu's national policy of "stopping troops and calming the people" created a peaceful and stable social environment in the Jianghuai region and promoted the prosperity and development of the Southern Tang economy and culture.

At the same time, the Southern Tang Dynasty was also an artistic dynasty, which made outstanding achievements in literature, art, calligraphy, music and other aspects. Li Bing established the Taixue, promoted the imperial examination, and built academies and painting academies.

The stable and prosperous Southern Tang Dynasty became the ideal place for the literati and officials who had experienced wars and vicissitudes. Most scholars from Jiangbei lived here, "Confucian clothes and calligraphy uniforms were prosperous in the Southern Tang Dynasty", "cultural relics had the style of Yuanhe". "The scholars in the Northern Earth heard the news and heard that they would be empty."

The social and cultural prosperity of the Southern Tang Dynasty was unique among all separatist regimes in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and even in Chinese history.

In terms of military affairs, Li Bing insisted on defending himself. When the time was right, he attacked the Central Plains without being restrained by neighboring countries, so he did not easily become quarrel with his neighbors.

In addition, the environment is beautiful and the climate is pleasant. Suzhou and Hangzhou are all there, so it is definitely a good place.

Moreover, the current Tang lord Li Jing is also a romantic lord, and the latter lord Li Yu should be with him. The literati are well treated there.

So when Guo Hao got there, he had a lot of room for both literature and business. Compared with the Central Plains, it would be better than a little bit.

Guo Hao was worried about Sun Qi's incident, so he planned to give up the finances of the royal palace. Before dawn the next day, he took Qiunan directly to the south.

...

It is a thousand miles away from Kaifeng to the border of the Southern Tang Dynasty. If you take the water route, you can go south along the Bian River, pass by Songzhou and Suzhou.

This road is the fastest, but it is not safe. Now bandits are rampant outside, so you have to be extremely careful when traveling by land. If the water is too swaggering, it will become a living target.

The two of them brought a lot of money, but they didn't dare to wear it too well. Guo Hao knew the truth that the money was not exposed.

Since I chose to take the land route, I couldn't walk from Songzhou. Guo Hao decided to go to Chenzhou and pass Yingzhou, which is the shortest way.

When you arrive in the southern Tang Dynasty and head to Jiangning, it should be safe at that time, and you must be extra careful on this section of the road in the Central Plains.

The two followed Caishui to the south. After walking twenty miles in one breath, there was no people around. Even the inns on the roadside were deserted, and occasionally white bones could be seen.

Seeing that it was already noon, the two decided to take a break and were rushing to go after dinner.

Their footwork is not slow, and this is the result of the exercise in the past two years. If you go at this speed, you can reach Chenzhou in three days, Yingzhou in seven days, and the border of the Southern Tang Dynasty within ten days.

"Qiu Nan."

Guo Hao took a bite of dry food and called Qiunan. Qiunan looked at Guo Hao and waited for his next sentence.

"What are you going there when you say we're there?"

Qiu Nan showed a thoughtful look. After thinking for a long time, he actually shook his head.

"Yes, you have never been to Jiangnan and don't know what's going on there. Let me tell you, the scenery there is so good, and there is no war.

The food there can be cooked twice a year, and the people can eat enough without having to endure hunger and do whatever they want..."

Qiu Nan showed a look of longing when he heard this, his brows stretched out, and the tense atmosphere along the way finally eased, and Guo Hao smiled.

"Qiu Nan."

Qiunan looked up at him.

"Since you are a girl, do you want to change your name? I'm thinking of something nice for you?"

Qiu Nan shook his head repeatedly when he heard this, and gestured, "No, I'm used to it, this name is pretty good."

Guo Hao thought about it after seeing it, and thought that this name was neutral. There were many girls in later generations who also called Nan. Qiu Nan didn't want to change it, so he wouldn't change it. He was really used to it.

After eating something, the two of them stood up and continued on the way. The official road was lined with woods. I didn't know the situation inside, and they couldn't help but be more vigilant.

After walking more than 100 miles a day, both of them were a little tired. At night, they found a shelter place and ate some dry food to rest.

It was a little cold in August at night, and Guo Hao set a fire, but Qiu Nan still felt cold, and there was no way Guo Hao could only hold him.

The two of them are in the same valley. They are very lucky today. They have not encountered any bandits and robbers, and they don’t know how tomorrow will be.

Qiunan was already asleep, Guo Hao leaned against the wall and pretended to sleep. He didn't dare to sleep too hard. He didn't know if there were any wild beasts in the wilderness. If he died of sleep, he wouldn't know how he died.

In the second half of the night, the fire went out. Guo Hao felt a little cold and wanted to light the fire again. Although it didn't work much, he was a little comforted.

However, at this moment, when he saw two eyes not far away, Guo Hao's heart skipped a beat and he quickly woke Qiu Nan up.

The two eyes were still approaching, and Guo Hao took out the dagger and fiddled with the fire.

"Qiu Nan, hurry up and get the fire. Most wild beasts are afraid of fire. They dare not get close to it if there is fire."

Qiunan woke up in a daze, was startled when he heard Guo Hao's words, and turned around and saw two green eyes.

Guo Hao got up and moved his body, holding the dagger and staring at the opposite side. Qiu Nan was not very scared when he saw people, but she was really scared of the wild beast. It took her a long time to ignite the fire.

With the fire, the two saw the opposite side clearly. Guo Hao guessed correctly. It was indeed a wolf. Guo Hao quickly looked around and found no other shadows. Years of drought and locust plague affected not only humans, but also many of them starved to death.

This is a lone wolf, and its skinny bones do not affect its viciousness. It stares at Guo Hao and has already regarded him as food.

Guo Hao held the dagger and took deep breaths. The lone wolf walked to a certain distance and rushed towards Guo Hao.

“No angle!”

Guo Hao made a quick judgment and dodged the pounce. The clothes on his body were cut by a wolf, and humans and animals still had no advantage over their bodies.

The lone wolf failed to hit the target and turned around and rushed towards Guo Hao again. Guo Hao didn't have time to dodge this time and wanted to kick it away, but he didn't expect that the wolf would hug him on his thigh.

Just as he was about to bite, Guo Hao slashed the wolf's neck and kicked his legs hard. The wild wolf let go of his claws, fell to the ground, shook his head, and rushed towards Guo Hao again.

Due to the injury, the wild wolf's speed was not as fast as before. Guo Hao saw the opportunity and cut the wild wolf's belly with a knife. He sideways and dodges his claws, squats on the ground and pants.

Feeling the pain on his legs, Guo Hao must have been injured. When he unbuttoned his pants, he saw that there were indeed several claw marks. Qiu Nan was shocked when he saw it.

"Go to the river and get some water. I don't know what the wolf's claws have grabbed. If the wound is infected, I will be finished!"

Qiunan heard this and ran away, fetched back water and boiled it and then cooled it down. Then Guo Hao cooked some strips of cloth and dried it with fire to bandage the wound.

Several wounds were not deep. After everything was treated, it was already dawn. Guo Hao's right leg was injured and his walking speed was affected.
