“What are you thinking?” Old Yuan looked at his youngest son, “Come on, tell me. If what you say makes sense, I’ll listen to you!”

Old Yuan might be old, but he had his ideas.

After all, it was the Yuan family’s first time in Great Xia. Even though Great Xia had laws to accept people like them, land reclamation was not an easy task. It would take at least three years for a barren land to become a mature land.

During this period, the Yuan family still had to maintain their livelihood.

“Father, I’ve already observed this path just now. It’s been a long time since anyone has walked on this path. In other words, the people who took this path before us either didn’t report it to the authorities or the authorities controlled them after they reported it.”

“Since you know this, why did you enter the trap?” Old Yuan looked at his youngest son in confusion.

He was against his youngest son reporting on this small road because he was worried that the Great Xia officials would secretly get rid of his family to keep it a secret.

After all, as long as one was not blind, it was easy to see the value of this small path.

Great Yin’s defense against Great Xia mainly relied on the Daliang gate. The gate was easy to defend but hard to attack. However, if they attacked the gate from the back, it would be equivalent to a completely unprotected gate.

This small path was enough for Great Xia to quickly take down the gate.

In the same way, this small path could also allow Great Yin to take down Great Xia’s gate easily.

This was a double-edged sword!

“Hehe!” Yuan Yin Di chuckled and said, “Father, times have changed. The situation is different now!”

“What’s different?” Old Yuan didn’t feel any difference.

“Father, the Great Yin has experienced the invasion of the north and the rebellion in Jiangnan. If the Great Xia were to take down the Daliang gate at this time and lead their army to the east, the entire seven northwestern counties of Great Yin would be defeated in one battle.”

“But what does this have to do with us?” Old Yuan pointed out the key to the problem immediately.

“If the imperial court of Great Xia already knows about the existence of this path, then they don’t need us to lead the way at all! Many people want this credit, and It’s hard to get great merits!”

Although Yuan Yin Di was quick-witted, he lacked experience in some matters. Old Yuan had been to the north and the south before, so he had some insights.

Great merits were difficult to obtain!

Old Yuan’s words made Yuan Yin Di’s heart, burning with passion, instantly fall into an ice cellar.

“Father, I am wrong!” Yuan Yin Di, who realized that he had thought too simply of the problem, admitted his mistake.

The thought of reporting this secret to the imperial court of Great Xia also faded away. Although he wanted to contribute to his family, this matter was not straightforward.

This small path was of great importance.

This was a piece of news that could turn the tide of the war between Great Xia and Great Yin. If it is said at the critical moment when the two countries are at war, then the credit is in their hands, and no one can take it.

How could the Yuan family, who had no foundation, fight against the Great Xia imperial court officials? Any official could easily steal their credit.

As outsiders, even if their entire family was killed, no one would come out to seek justice for them.

“It’s good that you know you’re in the wrong. It is more important for us to stay safe for now.”
