He had great ambitions back then, with a heart set on following Xie Huai’an and serving him.
But ever since Xie Huai’an faked his death and left, Yun Xiu has never ntioned it again.
Ruan Mian suddenly rembered because of yesterday’s conversation with her brother about the imperial examinations.
Originally, the provincial exam was imminent, but unfortunately Wuheng and Yu Zhou suffered from flooding, so the exam was naturally cancelled.
As for when the exam can be rescheduled, or whether there are other precedents, there’s currently no news from the Capital City.
Because of this, Ruan Mian thought about the martial exam.
However, Yun Xiu fell silent, simply staring directly at Ruan Mian, wanting to speak but stopping himself.
Ruan Mian patiently waited for him to respond, waited a long while but never saw him open his mouth, so she figured he must have other thoughts in mind.
So she comforted him: "If you have other thoughts, you can talk to about them."
"But Ashu, whatever you plan to do, you must follow your own will, understand?"
She patted Yun Xiu’s shoulder just as several villagers rushed towards them in panic, their faces showing shock.
"Miss Ruan! Miss Ruan, quickly run, sothing terrible has happened!" Ruan Mian looked over in confusion, and at that mont they vaguely heard so noises, seeming to co from the disaster relief area.
"What happened?"
The person urgently said, "A group of bandits has entered the village, starting to rob and steal, many have been captured from the disaster relief point, they are nurous, vicious, and kill rcilessly! They are so depraved bandits, we must run quickly!"
"While they are only taking things now, saving your life is most important!"
After saying this, the person quickly rushed into the house, calling Lord Lin’s two subordinates.
"Quickly take Lord Lin and run into the mountains! Quick! Follow !"
Ruan Mian took a closer look, realizing this person was from the Golden Sha clan and was familiar with the interior of Longchang Mountain.
Now he couldn’t care about resisting those bandits; survival was the priority.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Mian looked at Yun Xiu and imdiately spoke: "I’ll go and check first, Ashu, you take Lord Lin..."
"I’ll go with you; there are people to take care of Lord Lin."
Without waiting for Ruan Mian to refuse, Yun Xiu had already grabbed her hand and decisively moved forward.
Ruan Mian knew she couldn’t persuade him otherwise and worried about the serious situation outside, so she had to put down her comforting words and quickly headed towards the village with Yun Xiu.
Now, bandits had already entered the village, and the news of their invasion had spread ahead.
When they exited the house, they found many people had already rushed towards the mountains.
Ruan Mian seeing the scene realized it was quite a big deal, and how those bandits ca out of nowhere without giving her any preparation ti.
The imdiate priority was to ensure the safety of the family first.
She quickly headed ho, finding her brother already arranging for the family to retreat into the mountains.
Seeing Ruan Mian, Ruan Qingsong couldn’t care about much else and pulled her over: "Mianmian, quickly take father, mother, and Ruan Qing and leave."
"Those bandits ca out of nowhere, an overwhelming number, and they chose the ti when General Huo and his n were absent."
"There are few able-bodied n now, and the elderly, won, and children can’t possibly resist them! You go first! I’ll figure out how to notify General Huo."
Ruan Mian imdiately decided to let Ruan Qing and the others leave first.
But there was no argunt with her brother, knowing he disagreed with her staying.
So she first led the family to retreat, and when Aunt arrived to join them, she imdiately took Aunt to another empty area, slid on the Jade Bracelet, and took out two carriages from the space inside.
"The mountain roads are not easy to navigate, and bandits are likely to catch up, while resources are scarce! Aunt, take the family to the garrison; we have authorization to enter the garrison, and the bandits wouldn’t dare to chase there."
Aunt hurriedly nodded, still cursing those people harshly at the end.
"Those bastards, just suddenly attacking, knowing all our n and soldiers went to town, we’re left with the old, weak, sick, and disabled!"
"But I heard they are here to rob and steal, took all the grain from the disaster relief area! Now they want to clean out our village! How about...once most people have left, you release the spirit beast and have it bite them to death!"
Though it’s a last resort, should things beco dangerous, there’s no choice but to do this. "Don’t worry, Aunt, I have a plan, you go first, these bandits are no match for us."
