Old Yuan looked at his brother, raised his hand to point at him, wanting to say something, but in the end, nothing came out, only his hand was trembling with anger.
Although he was furious, he really couldn’t think of any solid words to refute.
The journey to Daxia was unpredictable.
Staying here certainly had its risks, but though they had taken refuge in these mountains for over half a year, they remained safe and sound.
"Big brother, third brother, I know you’re worried about me!"
"I thought about it half the night yesterday, and still decided to stay!"
"I’ll separate the children and find a few other safe places in the mountains for them to stay temporarily."
"You can’t put all your eggs in one basket!"
Being able to say this showed that Yuan Lu had indeed made up his mind, and he had his own plans.
Seeing that his brother had spoken so decisively, Old Yuan could say nothing more.
Forcing things won’t lead to sweetness!
In the end, the Yuan Family was divided into two.
Although Old Yuan and his brothers had previously already divided their households, they had still been living in Linhe Village, looking out for each other.
"Second brother, since you plan to stay, I won’t force you."
"In the future, if the world is settled, I will send someone to find you."
"Big brother, I’ll be waiting!"
After these simple words, the Yuan Family was divided in two. Old Yuan and Yuan Shou, with their families, headed north, planning to, once out of the mountains, travel westward straight to Daxia.
As for Yuan Lu’s entire family, who stayed in the mountains, they took advantage of the warm spring season to establish a third refuge in the mountains.
By then, Yuan Lu would separate his sons so that if something happened, they wouldn’t all be caught at once.
Spring returns to the earth, all things revive.
Once out of the mountains, the Yuan Family once again split paths.
As Yuan Lu had said, you can’t put all your eggs in one basket.
Old Yuan’s family headed westward, aiming for Daxia.
Yuan Shou, on the other hand, took his whole family northward towards the Beili Kingdom in the north.
This way, whether the world eventually belonged to Daxia, Beili, or was unified by Great Yin, the Yuan Family’s lineage would not be cut off.
Fortunately, Great Yin had previously repelled Beili and quelled the Jiangnan rebellion, boosting the court’s authority, keeping the region relatively peaceful.
Otherwise, the Yuan Family would likely face various disasters on the road.
After a month of trekking, the Yuan Family finally reached Da Liang Pass, where Great Yin and Daxia stood against each other.
The Yuan Family wanted to enter Daxia, but unfortunately, the Great Yin court did not want their citizens fleeing to Daxia and had layered checkpoints at Da Liang Pass.
"Xiao Wu, what do we do now?"
The checkpoints at Da Liang Pass were heavily guarded, making it very difficult to cross into Daxia.
Old Yuan was really worrying at this moment.
Over the past days, he had gathered a lot of information; the court had zero tolerance for citizens attempting to sneak into Daxia.
If caught, death was certain.

Yuan Yindi had also been thinking of ways these past few days, not believing Great Yin’s strict defenses had no loopholes.
After all, all checkpoints were manned by people.
As long as there are people, there will be flaws.
Moreover, how could Daxia, wanting to attract citizens, just sit back and watch as neighboring countries blocked them?
