Chapter 331: Going to Yuezhou by Mistake

When Ji Mo came back after finishing his work, he heard Li Yaoguang discussing this matter with him.

According to Ji Mo's selfish desire, he still didn't want Li Yaoguang to leave, but in the current situation, he didn't want his beloved girl to take even the slightest risk.

The town seemed safe now, but he couldn't guarantee it was completely safe. If those 20,000 people went crazy searching, or even more cruelly set fire to the mountain, he couldn't guarantee that this place wouldn't be exposed and turned into a living hell...

Thinking about the arrangement he had just made, everyone moved to the deep mountains and completely cut off contact with the outside world. The war continued, the pass was closed, and they had to stay away from the world. I don't think the girl would agree. She was still thinking about leaving in the early spring of next year. So after some thought, Ji Mo made up his mind.

"Okay, let's go. Please give me two days. After I have settled the residents in the town, I will send you off in person."

Obviously he didn't want to let go and wanted to protect her personally, but given the current situation, letting go might be the best way to protect her.

After all, compared to the war-torn south, Kyoto north of the Zhuo River is an iron bucket that cannot be penetrated.

If it was for her own good, he would be willing to do so, even if there was a cheetah there that he was very afraid of and was eyeing her covetously, he would be happy to do so.

Suppressing the many complicated thoughts in his mind, Ji Mo comforted Li Yaoguang and told her to pack her things quickly. He then turned around and hurried to find Uncle Dong and the others, and made adjustments to the arrangements he had made earlier for the town.

It's an emergency, the sooner you evacuate, the sooner you leave, the better.

What Li Yaoguang didn't expect was that someone came to his house the night before he left.

The grown-up Lu Qing supported Fang, and brought his sister-in-law He Wanniang and nephew Can Ge'er to see them off. Fang held Li Yaoguang's hand and asked her to ask her to pass on a message to the brothers Lu Yao and Lu Fang if she saw them outside, telling them not to worry about home, that everything was fine, and that they should work without worry. Li Yaoguang agreed to all her requests.

Before the snowstorm came again, Li Yaoguang and his party traveled light and set out before dawn, leaving this peaceful town that provided them with a lot of shelter.

However, what Li Yaoguang and the others didn't know was that as soon as they left the town, the entire town started moving. According to Ji Mo's arrangements, led in batches by trustworthy people like Uncle Dong, they evacuated in an orderly manner to deeper strongholds through the spider-web-like secret passages under the town, each of them bringing their families and belongings, carrying stored food and supplies on their backs. In the blink of an eye, the peaceful and bustling town suddenly became dead silent, and slowly, slowly, was submerged in the wind and snow.

Li Yaoguang and his men walked very carefully along the way. Ji Mo even personally led people to explore the 10,000-strong army stationed there, but the other side did not move and the road out of the mountain was still blocked. As a last resort, Ji Mo and his men could only take another road as a second choice.

However, if you go out of the mountain and head north, the road is not only long and winding, but also rugged and bumpy, and you even have to climb over steep cliffs. If possible, Ji Mo doesn't want to take Li Yaoguang on this risky road, but there is no other way now.

For the sake of caution, Ji Mo, who had just come back from the investigation, put aside his prejudices and discussed with Ying Yi. Finally, they decided to take this more hidden but also more difficult and rugged road.

It was called a road, but it was actually a beast path. There were so many of them, with Ji Mo leading the way and Ying Yi sweeping the rear. The five hundred people protected Li Yaoguang and other elderly, weak, women and children in the middle, and sneaked carefully in the vast mountains and forests, not even daring to speak loudly.

They walked and walked like this, and when they encountered a steep cliff, for safety, Li Yaoguang, Yu Meixue and the others were personally led by Ji Mo, a good hand, to slowly climb down the cliff. Fortunately, the three little ones were very strong and stayed well behaved in the backpacks carried by the good hands, and did not cause any trouble at all, which enabled them to get out of the mountain smoothly.

By the time they finally got on to a smooth road, more than half a month had passed. During this period of time, they had been wandering in the mountains, sleeping in the open air, and living like savages. Even a strong man could not endure it.

After much difficulty they got outside and the road became easier to travel on. Even though they had already entered the territory of Yuezhou and were still a long way from Beigui, they still had to rest and recuperate before continuing on their journey.

Especially Ji Mo, he could bear it, but he felt sorry for Li Yaoguang and was afraid that she could not endure the hardship. So before leaving, Ji Mo proposed.

"We are already in Yuezhou now. If we want to go back, we need to cross the entire Luxiao Mountains. It's a long detour, and there are refugees rioting in many places. I'm afraid the road is not easy to travel. I suggest that we just keep going forward. We first go to Yuezhou Prefecture, and then we take a boat across Dongting Lake and enter the Yangtze River. We go down the river to Jinling, and then we can continue to take a boat north along the canal depending on the situation. What do you think?"

In terms of understanding of this place, Ying Yi is certainly not as good as Ji Mo. After all, this is his territory and his old nest.

So after listening to Ji Mo's suggestion, Ying Yi quickly took out the map he carried with him, compared it frame by frame, and found that it was indeed the case. He pointed to the places marked with red dots on the map. These places were marked based on the information they had collected from the refugees they met in the mountains recently, and the error was not large.

So according to the current situation, instead of taking the long detour to the north, it would be better to take the water route proposed by Ji Mo, which is light and fast. So Ying made a decision, "Let's follow what Doctor Ji said and go to Yuezhou."

Seeing that the two had made the decision, Li Yaoguang felt a little embarrassed.

Ji Mo keenly noticed Li Yaoguang's embarrassment and asked hurriedly: "Yaoguang, what's wrong? Are you worried?"

Li Yaoguang nodded and said, "Well, what you said is good, but don't forget one thing, our family is still on the wanted list of the tyrant. Although the world is in chaos now, Yuezhou is not. It is still controlled by the officials under the tyrant. If we go to Yuezhou and our identities are exposed, I am afraid that everyone will be implicated."

Ji Mo thought Li Yaoguang was worried about something? It turned out to be just this!
He waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay, I've learned about it. The emperor is not in Yuezhou right now, and Dajing is at war everywhere, but he's still asking Yuezhou for food and soldiers. The officials in Yuezhou are busy with their own affairs, so they don't care about issuing a wanted order.

Another thing is, I know the governor of Yuezhou County. He is an upright person with his own thoughts and he is not a treacherous person. Even if you, Yaoguang, fall into his hands, I believe he will not do anything to you because he is a righteous person. The most likely thing is that he will turn a blind eye and let you go easily.

And even if something happens, don’t be afraid, Yaoguang, I’ll be there for you.”

Even if it really comes to that, I am confident that I can protect her and get out of this safely.

Seeing Ji Mo's confidence, Li Yaoguang believed him and nodded, "Okay, it's settled then! We'll go to Yuezhou and take a boat, first down the river, and then head north."

So, they simply continued westward and went deep into Yuezhou.

Yuezhou was relatively stable at that time because the war had not yet spread here. In addition, the governor of Yuezhou was honest and a good official. He did not exploit people like other officials. He focused on improving people's livelihood, and the people were able to live and work in peace. Therefore, in this chaotic world in the south, Yuezhou was a rare pure land.

In such a chaos, except for many refugees who took refuge in the mountains and forests, most of the people with some wealth came to Yuezhou.

This resulted in Li Yaoguang and his companions encountering many refugees along the way.

"Mother, Bao'er is so cold and hungry. Will the master really give out porridge when we get to Yuezhou?"

"Dad, Dad! Please bear with it for a while. Your son will carry you on his back. Please hold on a little longer. When we get to Yuezhou, the county governor is a good official. He will definitely take us in. Dad, Dad, please don't fall asleep..."
