Chapter 110: Getting a War Horse and Escape to the South

Looking from afar at the people of Xujia Village crying, cursing and busy at the village entrance, Li Yaoguang and his family slowly turned around and prepared to go back to pack their bags so that they could be on the road at any time.

As young orphans, the clan members took good care of them and no one let Xu Miaoniang and Yi Ge'er do the dirty work. Like their benefactor Li Yaoguang and his group, they were settled aside and watched from afar.

Seeing Li Yaoguang and his group turning back, Xu Miaoniang hurriedly took her ignorant brother who was still crying and followed them.

Cheng Su was supported by Shen Yue in front, his aunt was holding Yang Ge'er behind, and Li Yaoguang was walking at the end. Seeing the little guy kept looking back, Li Yaoguang subconsciously turned around and saw the brother and sister following silently behind them.

She was a little surprised. Why didn't the brother and sister go with the other villagers? But this was their own way home, so it was understandable that they were going back at this moment.

Li Yaoguang didn't think much about it, but stood still and waited for them, "Sister Miao Niang, Brother Yi, are you guys going back too?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Miaoniang nodded hurriedly, pulled her brother tightly and ran two steps to catch up. When they arrived in front of Li Yaoguang, they didn't expect that two people were running from afar behind them. When they looked closely, they found that they were the clan leader and the village head. When they saw their people, they waved and shouted from a distance.

"Young heroes, please wait a moment, my two benefactors..."

Li Yaoguang was puzzled, and the family members walking in front of him also stopped and turned to look.

When they got closer, they saw that the two were coming for his niece and Shen Yue. Cheng Su patted Shen Yue's hand and motioned him to go. Seeing that his niece turned around and looked at him, Cheng Su was supported by his wife in time. He nodded at Li Yaoguang with a smile, his eyes full of love for his children who would grow up to be able to set up their own business, and he retreated a distance with his wife and children.

His uncle had already left, treating him like an adult, leaving the stage for foreign negotiations to him. Li Yaoguang did not act pretentiously, but stepped forward decisively to greet the person who came and asked, "What do you want to talk to us about, elders?"

Shen Yue beside him also nodded.

The man took a deep breath and said, "You two young men were right. The young men who went out to look for horses have all returned. A total of 200 horses have been found, not one more or one less!"

Shen Yue: "Yes, that's right. The enemy that attacked at night was a small group. Now that they have been killed, the village will be safe for a while. The clan leader and the village head can rest assured. We should use this time to quickly gather our forces and avoid disaster as soon as possible."

The two of them nodded repeatedly after hearing what he said, "Yes, yes, what you said is right. We will definitely listen to you and set off as soon as possible." They would never be like before, when they received the news but didn't take it seriously, and ended up with their family broken up.

Suppressing the remorse in their hearts, the two elders looked at each other and did as they had discussed before coming to find someone. The head of the village stepped forward and said nervously.

"My two young benefactors, there is one more thing. It is about these 200 war horses. What do you think? Logically, they should all belong to you. You two can do whatever you want with them. However, in the current chaotic world, the nearest town may have been attacked. It is not easy for you to lead so many horses, and it is not easy to do anything with them. If it is possible, can you? Can you..."

Shen Yue and Li Yaoguang understood what each other meant immediately. Li Yaoguang was not going to take these horses because she didn't know how to ride them at all. If she was going on mountain roads, these things would not be as useful as her own mules and BMWs.

Moreover, even if we take a step back, this is the enemy's well-trained horse. If it is discovered or difficult to control and causes trouble, wouldn't we be seeking our own death?

Gou Gouguang hurriedly shook his head, but was afraid that Shen Yue, a soldier, would be tempted, so he looked at the people around him.

Shen Yue was stared at by Li Yaoguang, and he pondered for a moment.

It would be a lie to say that he was not tempted. Dajing had always lacked this stuff, and it was even rarer in the army. Unfortunately, he was inconvenient at the moment, and was anxious to contact his father's friends and old subordinates to gather the remaining soldiers for another battle. The journey was long, the Hudi were rampant, and he had no place to tame these war horses. It would be a burden to take them on the road, and if things went wrong, it would even affect Brother Cheng and others who came to rescue him. So no matter how tempted he was, he had to give up.

Shen Yue shook his head. "It's inconvenient for us to carry so many horses. So, you two elders can just take two horses with us." Too many horses would be hard to control and would only get in the way. "Let's divide the rest among us. In this chaotic world, having someone to travel with will help us walk faster."

The tribe leader was overjoyed and said, "Thank you very much, young man. Thank you very much, young man. I will go back now and ask everyone to collect the money and send it to you two."

"Don't!" Seeing that these two people who believed everything they heard wanted to give money, Li Yaoguang and Shen Yue, who had no such idea at all, spoke out to stop them.

Li Yaoguang: "You two elders, there is no need to ask for money. It's all free stuff anyway. And last night, the whole village, young and old, helped in killing the enemy. Two horses are enough for us, and we won't talk about anything else."

The clan leader and the village head expressed their gratitude again and again. They were extremely grateful and looked at Li Yaoguang and Shen Yue as if they were their closest relatives, feeling thankful that they had met good people.

Shen Yue thought of something and reminded: "But you two, the horses were trained by Hu Di. For safety reasons, you should first remove the conspicuous features on them to avoid chaos."

The two of them hurriedly responded, "Okay, okay, the young man reminded me, we will go and deal with it later, and we will definitely not let them cause trouble."

"Okay, this way we can rest assured and leave with peace of mind."

The clan leader and the village chief were shocked when they heard this. They lost their happy expression and asked hurriedly, "You two young men are leaving now? Today is New Year's Eve! Didn't you just say that the village is temporarily safe? Why?"

They thought that since they were temporarily safe, they could at least get through the New Year tonight and gather the tribe's food before setting off again. How could they not expect that their benefactor would leave so soon?
Li Yaoguang nodded, "Yes, old man, we have been bothering you for a long time, and how can we have a good year in this chaotic world? Since Hu Di has already found the location of the village, there will be another group after this one leaves. If possible, you, the tribe leader, should also leave with your tribe members as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes, that's what the young man reminded me of."

The two of them were determined to listen to advice, but when the patriarch thought of something, he still spoke tentatively.

"But young man, it's a thousand miles to the south, and the road will be full of hardships. Although you two are capable people, it will be difficult to protect your family. Why don't you consider following us into the mountains to avoid the war? Don't worry, my tribe has abundant food reserves, which can provide us with food for a few years. After the chaos is over, we will come out to rebuild our home. What do you think?"

The clan leader's wish to send out the invitation was selfish and also what the village head hoped for. After all, they had seen the abilities of these two people with their own eyes, and if they could accompany them, the safety of the young and old in the clan would be guaranteed.

Shen Yue thought of Li Yaoguang's family's plan, and stepped forward at the right time to reject their kindness. "Thank you for the invitation, but we have something important to attend to, so we can't go into the mountains."

Li Yaoguang also advised: "Old man, the Hu Di are extremely cruel, and your majesty's court has fled south. The situation in the north is not good. I am afraid that the deep mountains behind this village will not be safe for long. If possible, we should go south and cross the river to rely on the natural barrier. The emperors and dignitaries will fight back if they want to live. Only then can people like us survive. If the tribe leader is willing, we can form a group and go south together so that we can take care of each other. What do you think?"

Before the two elders expressed their opinions, Shen Yue was shocked to hear this and looked at Li Yaoguang in surprise.

I didn't expect she was so knowledgeable at such a young age.

When you look at someone again, there is an appreciation in his eyes that he himself is not aware of.

Li Yaoguang was completely unaware and was still looking expectantly at the two old men in front of him, hoping that they would change their minds.
