My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

"Why don't you take the good road instead?"

"What are you doing up the mountain?"

"I just can't walk, let alone climb a mountain."

"..."

Zhong Wei listened to the loud shouts of the stopped prisoners and raised the long whip in his hand to signal for silence, "I believe you already know that the purchased supplies were robbed by a black shop dozens of miles away. I have sent people to negotiate, but There is not enough food right now, so we need to go hunting in the mountains to supplement our food supply.”

When the officer who reported the news came back, he was anxious to ask for help and did not avoid others. Most of the prisoners already knew about the robbery of food. After hearing Zhong Wei's words, the most vicious criminal immediately got his thoughts on his side and volunteered: "Fuck!" , how dare you snatch my food rations, let’s see if I don’t beat him until his teeth are all over the floor! Mr. Zhong, let me go with you and get the food back!”

As soon as these words came out, many prisoners echoed them. Some of them wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to escape, some just wanted to get back the food so as not to starve to death, and some had a herd mentality, hoping to make the people in the black shop retreat without a fight.

The members of several big families were not among them. They once held high positions and knew how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and did not want to wade into this muddy water.

Zhong Wei looked at the prisoners who were raising their fists in the air and said with a serious expression: "It is still unclear how powerful the black shop is. If you go there rashly, your life will be in danger. Do you still insist on going to crusade?"

Some people are willing to give up, but more people are raising their hands in response.

The King of Hell could not stop the ghosts seeking death. Since most of these dozens of people were guilty of serious crimes, Zhong Wei no longer stopped him. Instead, he sent people to hunt in the mountains. After letting the "strong men" have a good meal, they took off their shackles and replaced them with shackles. They were handcuffed and then chased in a carriage with the large army of "redeemers".

Those people didn't know that what they had just eaten was "decapitated rice". They all had full bellies and talked loudly about the "great achievements" of the past.

Zhong Wei, who was escorting him personally, was riding on a tall horse. Hearing the talk in the carriage, his expression became more and more indifferent.

Qin Junyi transformed into Wu Yuan and led more than a dozen shadow guards, including Qing Xuan, to join the seven or eight children of the Chu family headed by Chu Yi and rushed to the black shop together.

Chu Yi looked at the strong figure riding on the big black horse in front of him, recalling the encounter when Dilong turned over and went into the city to buy something, and he already knew Wu Yuan's true identity.

It turned out that at that time, he had already escaped the wounds of the Soul-Destroying Nail and was able to move freely.

Obviously, all this must be attributed to Su Yunwan, as her medical skills have reached a state of perfection.

Qin Junyi was really lucky to marry her. I hope he can abandon the ancestral tradition of spreading branches and leaves, cherish it, and don't let her down.

Just when his thoughts were diverging, the sound of rolling wheels came from behind, and it was Zhong Wei who arrived with his people.

Seeing several cars full of prisoners, Zhong Wei took Chu Yi and Qin Junyi a few steps away and told the prisoners that they had recommended themselves.

Qin Junyi immediately adjusted his strategy and let these people take the lead in disrupting the situation.

Before Zhong Wei left, he handed over the exile team to Jiang Xiaoliu and Chu Shao.

Most of the current prisoners are members of the Chu family. With Chu Shao in charge, they are not afraid of anything happening.

The second uncle Chu Yifang, who has separated his clan, neither dares to touch Chu Shao Nilin nor wants to be a desperado, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Jiang Xiaoliu had dozens of officials left behind by his uncle to maintain order, so he didn't have to worry much about management. However, the carriage he was riding in had already taken the prisoners to the front line, so he could only use crutches and struggle up the mountain with the support of his colleagues.

Gradually, he fell from the front to the back of the team.

At that time, Su Yunwan, Wu Shaohan, and Qin Mu had already gotten out of the car, leaving only Ling Qi, who was seriously injured, in the car. In the other donkey cart, only the old lady was left alone. All other family members got off and worked together to push the cart up the mountain.

Suddenly, Jiang Xiaoliu slipped and almost fell. He was supported by a strong hand, and a familiar low voice came to his ears: "Be careful."

He straightened up, saw Wu Shaohan, grinned and said, "Brother Wu."

Seeing that he was covered in sweat from exhaustion, Wu Shaohan turned to look at the carriage beside him, and then turned to Su Yunwan.

Su Yunwan understood his silent request and said with a smile: "Jiang Xiaoliu, please sit on the shaft of the car and take a rest."

"No, no, no, I can go by myself." Jiang Xiaoliu waved his hands repeatedly.

He didn't want to offend General Qin, lest Brother Wu would be angered.

Besides, with so many people from the Qin family getting out of their cars to hike up the mountain, it was really inappropriate for him to be an outsider. Didn’t Miss Qin hesitate to speak?

Su Yunwan joked: "You are the leader of the team right now, so just think of it as my bribe to you."

"I don't dare take it." Jiang Xiaoliu shrank his neck, which made Su Yunwan smile even more.

Wu Shaohan smiled and whispered: "Listen to Madam, get in the car."

Jiang Xiaoliu looked at him and saw that he was not forcing himself at all, so he thanked Su Yunwan and got on the carriage.

Wu Shaohan turned sideways and said, "Shier, come and protect my wife."

He replaced Shi Er and pushed the cart hard beside Jiang Xiaoliu, but he didn't show any signs of fatigue.

Jiang Xiaoliu secretly praised him, swayed his long legs, and chatted with him.

Qin Ruolan had already climbed up, her face flushed and dripping with sweat. Looking at Jiang Xiaoliu, who was sitting comfortably in the car, a hint of jealousy flashed across her face, but she didn't dare to jump down and ask for a ride.

With the old lady and Mr. Pei's lessons learned, no matter how stupid she is, she will not fail to see the situation clearly and follow in their footsteps.

Her eyes wandered between Jiang Xiaoliu and Wu Shaohan, who had time to chat, and finally settled on Wu Shaohan. She thought of Shiyi, whom she hadn't seen for many days, "Sister-in-law, where did Shiyi go?"

"He's on a mission." Su Yunwan knew why Shiyi was sent abroad and gave Qin Ruolan a meaningful look.

"What mission?"

"I don't know."

Qin Ruolan missed the candy Shiyi gave her. If he were still here and saw how bitter her life was, he would definitely give her another candy to comfort her.

She looked at the father, son, mother and daughter in the four houses ahead holding hands as they climbed up. Then she looked at the long house. The second brother and her mother were at the front of the team. The eldest brother was recovering from his injuries in the carriage. The eldest sister-in-law was accompanied by guards. She was the only one there. Among the family members, he was alone.

Since when did the long house become so torn apart?

Qin Ruolan felt a sense of sourness and loneliness in her heart. Looking at the mottled light and shadow blocked by the towering trees, she felt like a tiny speck of dust dancing lonely in the light, insignificant and fluttering in the wind.

As time went by, the exile team climbed higher and higher, and finally reached their destination: a spacious naturally formed cave.

Pain often makes people sober. The exhausted Qin Ruolan sat in the corner imagelessly, carefully recalling all the changes since the house was confiscated, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Cen Yiyi who was in the Lu family.
