Chapter 146

I don’t know who reported it first, saying that the Liao army had crossed the Yellow River and was about to approach Bianliang and was preparing to attack the city overnight.

This means it has a nose and an eye, as if you have seen it with your own eyes.

Rumors spread to ten, ten to hundreds of them. First, they came from the night market, and then the major tile houses, brothels, casinos in Bianliang City, and places where they didn't sleep in the middle of the night, the bad news that the Khitans were coming everywhere.

In the end, they all arrived at the defenders on the city gate, and even these soldiers doubted their lives.

He quickly put his swords and guns on the shelves, and even pulled out the crossbow to guard the city. His eyes were staring at the darkness outside the city, and his heart was beating, for fear that a group of northern barbarians would suddenly rush out of the night.

That night, Bianliang City was sleepless.

When they heard the alarm bell, the Imperial City Office Guards and the Imperial Guards in Bianliang City also took action, all of them staring at them, ready to deal with the possible rioters in the city.

The palace was closed again, and the news was isolated again. Some civil and military ministers surrounded Xuande Gate like headless flies, and were in a hurry.

At this time, thousands of households in Bianliang City who heard the "rumor" were packing and sorting out all the cars and horses. Even the doors of cars were photographed open overnight, and people were asked to rent cars in the middle of the night.

Anyway, when it was almost dawn, the gate of the south city was crowded with people from Bianliang who were about to escape. Among them, there were not many wealthy families who drove carriages and blocked the 200-meter-wide imperial road.

Weishi Inn is located in the south of the city, and the noise in the city naturally affects the people staying in the hotel.

Early in the morning, Chen Jinshu went out to inquire about the news, and then hurried back: "It's not good, it's not good. I heard that the Liao army has come and is about to cross the Yellow River. Everyone is ready to escape."

These words scared everyone. The house was confiscated yesterday and the country was destroyed today. Why are the Chen family so unlucky?

Those young wives from various houses who had no opinions started to cry again.

Chen Jinbai was a little disbelief: "Impossible? We met my father-in-law yesterday. If there was really military service, he wouldn't have reminded us."

"Oh, brother, whether it is true or false, it is the key to evacuate Bianjing as soon as possible. If you go too late, you will not be able to hire a ship to the south."

Everyone could hear that Mr. Chen was in a hurry to go to the south.

The old lady nodded: "Okay, no matter whether it is true or false, your third wife always has to go to the south. You and your mother come to the room."

After everyone in the third room entered the room, Zhiyuan immediately closed the door.

The old lady sat on the bed and took out something from her arms.

"Shu'er, you are going to Lin'an Mansion. I don't know if we can meet again in this life. You used to say that you always favor your elder brother and second brother, but you are also the flesh that fell from your mother's body. How could you not feel sorry for you?"

When Chen Jinshu heard this, he knelt down with a thud, hugged the old lady's legs, and tears fell down like this.

Everyone in the three rooms, as well as the children, knelt down.

"This is the deed of Renfang, Lin'an Prefecture. This is a three-entry yard, and a large shop. You can settle it here after you arrive in Lin'an. When you have money in the future, you will buy a big house by yourself.

This is 10,000 taels of silver. All your money has been sealed. You take this silver bill and go to a strange place to spend money everywhere. My mother can’t help you. Shu'er, you must remember that your surname is Chen. In the future, you can’t lose the reputation of our Chen family. Do you remember?"

Gu Jian

Unexpectedly, before leaving, the old lady gave this gift. She gave 20,000 taels of silver and a large mansion in the center of the city. This gift was not light.

When the Chen family was so difficult to use money, the old lady secretly gave so much money, so how could she be biased? This moved everyone in the third room to the point of being unrestrained.

Even Chen Buyu kowtowed to his grandmother sincerely, and Chen Buyu cried like a child.

Chen Jinshu was already crying at this time: "Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, mom."

The old lady touched his head, and tears were flowing:

"The past is over, and you will live your own family in the future. Whether you make or lose, it is your own business for your three-person house. Therefore, you must do your best to do your job and raise your descendants well. Your mother will take good care of yourself. If you have time, you will go back to Bianliang to see your mother."

The people from the third bedroom walked very quickly and had nothing to do, so they didn't even have to bring a "suitcase". They followed the "escape army" to get out of the southern city gate and take a boat to the Bianhe Wharf outside the city to take a boat south.

All the male members of the Chen family were sent to Nanxun Gate and said goodbye Yiyi.

On the way back, Chen Jinshu and Chen Jinbai were in a bad mood. The two brothers had a slight gap because of the separation last night.

"Brother, when are you going to Chengdu?"

"Oh, we are going to take a step further. Now the raw materials for Angong Niuhuang Pills at home have been sealed. I am going to Dengzhou to purchase them myself. I went to Chengdu Prefecture and stayed away from sea routes. It would be difficult to purchase these raw materials in the future."

Angong Niuhuang Pills has an important ingredient, "rhino horn".

There are also rhinos in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but only in the south, and the number is extremely rare. Therefore, the medicines used in "Jingshitang" are imported from abroad, such as Southeast Asian countries, even from India and Africa.

Most of them were transported by Dashi merchants from all over the world, from Guangzhou, Quanzhou, and Mingzhou to the north, until Dengzhou was the end point, and they returned after selling.

Rhino horns are not only an important medicinal material, but also can be made into expensive crafts. They are very popular among the upper class. In addition, they are rare and cannibals only come twice a year, so the price is very high.

Although Chen Jinbai knew that his son had transferred some of the medicinal materials, there was not much inventory.

If this second house really wants to reopen in Bianliang and conquer the world again, this magical medicine "Angong Niuhuang Pill" is definitely indispensable. He needs to make it more, and the raw materials are also large.

"Let's do this, brother, I'll let Bu Nu go to Dengzhou with you, so I can take care of it on the way. Our medicinal materials channels have not been peaceful in recent years. You must be careful."

Chen Jinsong nodded when he heard this: "This is OK. I am a little worried about taking the caravan alone. This time I need a lot of money to purchase. We are now poor and what should I do?"

If you have any difficulties, please find an old lady.

This time when the Chen family was in trouble, the old lady took out all her money. This time, her two sons were going to Dengzhou to purchase goods, and she paid another 20,000 taels of silver.

This made all the men in the Chen family feel ashamed. They are all old and have been living off-living parents.

The Chen family was busy for a long time, and suddenly Chen Jinbai found that there was one missing person, so he asked, "Where has that child Fuere been?"
