Chapter Eleven: Relocation
The next day at dawn, Li He was awakened by a sound.
He looked out of the window, and then he saw many people busy back and forth, and even saw the little girl named A Yue.
"It seems that I am preparing for the banquet for several family leaders today."
Thinking to himself, Li He simply returned to the bed and took a break.
Soon, Li Ying and Peng Chou came to Li He's house.
After the three of them sat down at the table in the room, Li Ying pointed at Peng Chou and said to Li He: "Ahe, I told Ah Chou about what happened last night, and he also agreed."
『Agree?』
Li He glanced at Peng Chou, who was smiling silly at the moment, and deliberately tentatively said: "Peng Chou, do you agree to go to Shaoliang?"
"Shaoliang?" Peng Chou showed some confusion and looked at Li Ying and said, "Didn't he meant to live in this village for a few more days?... By the way, where is Shaoliang?"
Li Ying had to explain again: "Shaoliang is a small country in Xihe, vassal of Wei, and has been attacked by Qin for a long time..."
Peng Chou was stunned when he heard this, and then asked for a while: "Do you have any wine and meat to eat in Shaoliang?"
"……have."
"Just have wine and meat!" Peng Chou agreed readily.
"Haha..." Li Ying turned to look at Li He with a helpless smile, which made Li He shake his head.
He always thought that it was Peng Chou who protected Li Ying, but now it seems that this may not be the case.
At this time, a knock on the door came from outside the house. Li Ying got up and opened the door, and then he saw that it was Hu Fei.
"The three are awake?"
Hu Fei walked in with a smile, nodded to Li He who was standing up, and said with a smile: "I have prepared some dry food and food for the three of you. After you wait for breakfast, you will set off quickly."
Seeing this, Li He clasped his fists and said, "Young Master, I have discussed with my two companions. I hope to stay in the village for a few more days and go to Shaoliang with the Hu clan. I wonder if the Young Master can agree?"
Hu Fei was stunned when he heard this, his face moved slightly. After a long time, he sighed: "Little brother, you really don't have to do this..."
Li Ying smiled and said, "Yesterday, Guicun was treated with kindness. Now Guicun is in trouble and the prospects are unpredictable. How can we leave alone?"
While speaking, he pointed at Li He, implying that all this was the latter's idea.
Seeing this, Hu Fei was very moved and pulled Li He to sit down at the table. At the same time, he also greeted Li Ying and Peng Chou and the others.
Only then did he say to Li He with emotion: "It's just a little wine and meat, it's not worth being the little brother and two of you who sacrificed their lives to accompany you..."
Li He shook his head and said, "The young clan leader is so arrogant. We originally planned to go to Anyi to join the army, be a military soldier from Wei State, and be a military soldier from Shaoliang. In my opinion, there is no difference..."
Hu Fei felt a sigh in his heart when he heard this.
No difference?
How could this be no difference between being a military soldier from a strong country and being a military soldier from a weak country?
Just as he was about to say something, a young man from the village suddenly walked into the house and said to him with an anxious look on his face: "Uncle Fei, Mr. Tian's carriage has arrived."
"oh?"
Hu Fei was slightly shocked and replied quickly: "I'll go right away."
After saying that, he explained to Li He and the other two: "The head of the Tian clan is my father-in-law, I should greet each other in person, so I can only..."
Li He said understandingly: "Young clan leader, go quickly."
So Hu Fei immediately got up and prepared to leave, and then walked to the door. He suddenly thought of something and looked back at Li He and the others.
After looking at the three of them deeply, he chuckled and said, "The nephew and two of them are indeed chivalrous... In this case, it is better for the three of you to stay in the village for a while, and things may turn around."
After saying that, he hugged Li He and the others, turned around and walked out of the door.
Seeing Hu Fei disappearing outside the house, Li Ying poured himself a bowl of water, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid there will be no turning point in what Anyi decided?"
Li He glanced out the window and ignored it.
Facts have proved that Li Ying's guess was accurate. Anyi decided to have any turning point in the "west migration" matter.
One night three days later, when Li He, Li Ying, and Peng Chou were drinking and resting in the house, they suddenly heard a noise coming from the hall of the big house.
The three of them came to the main hall curiously, and then they saw several old men sitting in the hall, and Hu Fei, Tian Yi and others were standing next to them.
"Linghu Jun, it turns out that he used his power for personal gain and took the opportunity to frame us!"
"Shh! Silence!"
"Why are you silent? I'm old and I'm not afraid to say anything? It's clear that the guy wants to take this opportunity to occupy the fields of several clans, and he only allows him to do it, not me?!"
"Okay, save some effort... Although you are old, you still have children and grandchildren, so don't cause trouble for them."
"I... hateful!"
After Li He's peek, the old man with a loud voice stopped talking and sat in his seat and sulked.
At this time, Old Fox, who had been sitting in the main seat without saying a word, finally spoke. He looked at the clan leaders present and sighed: "Brothers, things have come to this point, and they can only obey orders. At least this can still protect the clan... If you go to Shaoliang, there will be no shortage of any number of them..."
After a pause, he sighed again: "This time, Anyi has clearly given a deadline. Time is tight, so I won't leave you for dinner. Please return to the clan quickly and arrange the relocation of the clan. When we arrive at Shaoliang, we will discuss it."
Several clan leaders sitting in the hall sighed and nodded when they heard this, and stood up one after another to say goodbye to the old fox.
Old Fox also personally sent these tribe leaders away.
During this period, Hu Fei noticed Li He and his men who were secretly watching from outside the crowd, so he came over and said hello.
After glanced at the departing tribe leaders, Li He whispered: "Young tribe leader, is things going well?"
Hu Fei nodded with a serious expression and whispered: "Yesterday, my father and several patriarchs went to Linghu City with him to see Linghu Jun. This person is the son of the King of Wei. Several families originally hoped that he could talk to Anyi for us, but Linghu Jun stayed away. At that time, we felt that something was wrong and bribed a retainer under Linghu Jun. Only then did we learn that when Anyi decided to move the population to Shaoliang, it actually did not include Linghu. It was Linghu Jun who took the initiative to propose..."
Speaking of this, a hint of hatred appeared on his humble face, and he said annoyedly: "After all, it was Linghu Jun who coveted the fields of my families, so he deliberately framed them and asked Anyi to move my families to at least Liang. In this way, my families in Linghu's fields became a land of unlimited land, and he could take the opportunity to take it into his pocket... The son of the King of Wei actually did such a despicable thing, which is really hateful!"
As he said that, he seemed to think of something, turned to Li He and said, "Nephew, a few days ago, I thought there was still a turning point, so I left my nephew and others in the village. Now... Alas, you have also seen it. My Hu family is destined to move to Shaoliang, otherwise I will be punished by Anyi. If my nephew changes his mind, it is not too late."
"Who do you think of me?" Li He said seriously: "I have said before that it is no difference to be a military soldier in Wei State and a military soldier in Shaoliang. Besides, I heard that Shaoliang is working as a military soldier in Shaoliang, so I will also see if there is any chance to be a companion with Guicun... Could it be that the young master dislikes me?"
"Ha ha."
Hu Fei, who had a worried face before, laughed when he heard this. He patted Li He's arm intimately and said with a smile: "I think the little brother is definitely not an ordinary person. It is unlimited in the future. How could he dislike it? If I hadn't only one daughter and had married to Tian's family, I would have to recruit the little brother as my son-in-law..."
"This is..." Li He showed shame.
Hu Fei didn't care, so he patted Li He's arm and said, "Don't ask the young clan leader anymore. The young clan leader called me. If you don't dislike me, your nephew can just call me Uncle Fei."
With his thirties, he naturally deserves Li He's 'Uncle Fei'. Moreover, Li He also has a very good impression of this loyal young leader of the Hu clan. He nodded and called out: "Uncle Fei."
"Okay! What a great nephew!"
Hu Fei was overjoyed when he saw this and said with a smile: "If you look back at the daughter of the tribe, Uncle Fei will arrange it for you..."
"Have you forgotten this yet?"
Li He smiled bitterly and did not fall.
At this time, the old fox had bid farewell to the patriarchs of the families and returned to the big house with a few young people.
Hu Fei originally wanted to tell his father the good news, but was dissuaded by Li He.
Looking at the fox in the distance, Li He shook his head and said, "There are some trivial matters, so there is no need to alarm the fox. The most urgent task is to move the clan..."
"yes."
Hu Fei sighed after hearing this. After all, moving the clan is indeed a tedious task, and Anyi has given a deadline, so they cannot be neglected.
"Uncle Fei, the three of us have the strength to do what we can, and Uncle Fei just asks for instructions."
"Haha, there is no need for this." Hu Fei patted Li He's arm and smiled: "But I appreciate the kindness of my nephew."
A few days later, the Hu Family Village began to prepare for the relocation of the clan, and the clan members packed up their homes and packed them onto the carriage.
To be honest, the ordinary Fox clan members do not need to carry much property, including the main clan’s property and tablets dedicated to the clan’s ancestral temple.
While the people of the Hu clan were busy with the relocation of the clan, the Hu old sat alone at the entrance of the village with a crutch, looking at the busy scene in the village with a complicated expression.
Seeing this, Li He stepped forward and greeted the old man: "Old Fox?"
Compared to a few days ago, the old fox was much haggard. He looked at the village in front of him and sighed: "This land is called 'Linghu'. It was once the fief of my ancestor of the Hu clan, 'Linghu clan'. It was a fable for descendants to be unsuccessful and lose their titles, and now it has lost the only remaining land..."
After explaining by Mr. Hu, Li He realized that the original surname of the Hu clan "Linghu clan" was gradually declined in Wei State because of the decline of the clan. Therefore, the title of "Linghu Jun" was taken back by Wei State and granted it to the descendants of the King of Wei.
The Linghu clan also felt that he had no face to face his ancestors, so he changed his surname to the Hu clan.
Now, the Hu clan has lost even the last little land. Even the entire clan is about to be forced to go to the Hexi area of Wei and Qin, which has been fighting for decades. All this makes Hu Lao feel dim and disheartened.
Seeing this, Li He could only persuade him: "Old Hu, you will get better. I heard that Shaoliang is vast and sparsely populated, so the Hu family will definitely grow stronger in Shaoliang again."
Old Hu forced a smile: "My little brother, Ji Yan, I hope this is the case..."
Soon, Hu Fei walked from a distance, nodded to Li He, and said to Hu Lao: "Father, you have packed up all the things and can set off."
Old Hu nodded, stood up with the help of Li He and Hu Fei, and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a sound coming from the distance behind him.
The three of them turned around and saw a group of soldiers coming slowly towards the village in a carriage.
The two soldiers in the head each held a flag, with the words "Wei" written on one side and the words "Wei Linghu Jun".
"Linghu Jun..."
