Chapter 88 Determining the Direction
When the firewood collectors and water fetchers came back, Fang Yunping called them over to gather together, and Fang Youwei told the news he had inquired from the shopkeeper of the pharmacy.

After listening, everyone looked at Fang Yunping, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Fang Yunping pondered for a while, and said: "In this way, we can only go to Nanyue City at most and can't go any further. Why don't we see if it can accept us there? If so, we can settle down there. It's okay. .”

Someone asked: "Patriarch, can't we settle in one of these three counties? Why do we have to go there?"

"Yes, yes, it should be safe after passing this county, right? Since we will be blocked in Nanyue City in the end, why should we look far away."

"That's right, it doesn't necessarily mean that the farther you are from here, the safer you will be. If the imperial court will send troops over soon, or the Yue people will retreat on their own, then we are all safe here."

Everyone chattered and said that they were not opposed to the patriarch's decision, but just put forward their own ideas, and they were afraid that if they traveled long distances, they would not accept them, and their work would be in vain.

Fang Yunping shook his head and said: "The imperial court has been emphasizing culture and suppressing martial arts for so many years. There are no generals who can fight. The guards at other border gates are old veterans. The guards are a bit difficult. There is no spare power to regain lost ground."

Seeing that everyone lowered their heads and stopped talking, he said again: "Since we have moved out, we will find a stable place to live. Do we have to keep moving? The best choice is near the capital, where is better than other places. Safe, unless... the country is destroyed."

The last two words were in his mouth. After all, if others hear such remarks, they will be beheaded.

After hearing this, everyone had no objection. Now they also felt that the farther away from here the better. If the Yue people really wanted to invade south, it would be much safer to be separated by at least a few counties.

Fang Youwei thought more, and he said to Fang Yunping humanely: "Let's look at the situation first, the shopkeeper said that Nanyue City is heavily guarded and is the last barrier of the capital.

Since we can't go to the capital, I think we can bypass Nanyue City and go to another county.In that case, wouldn't they be protected behind Nanyue City?

Of course, we will not know whether it can be done until we get there, after all, we don't know the terrain there. "

When everyone heard it, it really made sense.Just now, after hearing what the patriarch said, they felt that if they stopped in front of Nanyue City, even though they were separated by a few counties, it would still be unsafe. They might as well go around to the back of Nanyue City. As long as they don't go in the direction of the capital, they should not be stopped. .

Of course, they will not know the specific direction to go until they get there. After all, whether they can bypass Nanyue is still a problem.

It was too late today, so everyone didn't practice knife skills anymore, and they rested immediately after eating.

A fire was lit in the middle, and the middle-aged people took turns to watch the night.For so many days, each vigil has been assigned ten people.Two people are in a group, exactly five hours, exactly thirty people, one rotation every day, so that everyone is not tired.

The next morning, everyone got up late.

The main reason is that after eating and packing up yesterday, it was almost midnight, and it was rare for me to go to sleep so late.

Everyone got up when the sun was high, washed up, had breakfast, packed up and set out on the road, it was already past time.

This time they walked along the official road, thinking that there would be little spirits exploring the way along the way, and they would find water sources and places to rest in advance, and they didn't encounter any trouble.

There are only occasional caravans and dart teams, and basically no one who travels alone.They have inquired with the caravans that often come and go on this road. Those who came out of Qiyang County a few months ago all went south, and none of them stayed here.

According to the time, it should have arrived at Nanyue City by now.Of course, that's going faster.For people like them who drag their families along and stop and go, it will take about half a year to get to Nanyue City.

After all, they have been away for nearly a month since they came out of Qiyang County, let alone across three counties, the time will only be more or less.Qiyang County was not considered a big county in the Great Yan Dynasty.
