I just want to live a good life

Mu Yunting did not eat the steamed white flour buns made by Sister Li. He just sat in the room where Su Nuan had lived for a while before setting off for Xia Lian's military camp.

It was no small matter for Xia Changze to steal Ye Yin's badge.

That badge is used to mobilize troops in extraordinary times. Although only a maximum of one thousand people can be mobilized at a time, these one thousand people can play an unexpected role at a critical moment.

It would be fine if Xia Changze just wanted to make it easier for himself to pass the checkpoint when escaping, but if he had other purposes, the consequences would be unimaginable.

What Mu Yunting least wanted to see was Xia Changze taking the badge and running away with his concubine.

So he wanted to see Xia Lian, immediately, right away.

Of course, before leaving, he did not forget to instruct Ye Yin to send people to guard the surrounding checkpoints, and bring Xia Changze back immediately if they found him.

Considering that Xia Changze was trying to escape from the pursuit of the imperial city, Ye Yin used Fenglin Town as the boundary and searched in the direction away from the imperial city.

Su Nuan is still discussing whether to go or stay.

The only person who missed her in the imperial city was someone who was going to marry his white moonlight. She felt that going back was really unattractive.

The balance in my heart has tilted towards freedom.

Suddenly she thought of an important question.

"Third brother, do you have any money on you?"

"Yes, after I escaped from the Dali Temple, I secretly went to see my father, and he gave me all the private money he had hidden."

Su Nuan was a little pessimistic about General Xia's private money, and asked quickly: "How much is it?"

"Twenty taels."

"Only twenty taels?"

It turns out that we can’t rely on the Xia family for money.

Su Nuan's eyes swept across the faces of Lao Liu, Chu Qi and Su Qingmo one by one.

The three of them understood her intention without her saying anything.

The sixth brother spoke out first: "I don't have any money. When I go out, it's my eldest brother who spends the money. All the money is with him."

Chu Qi followed up: "I have used all my money to buy materials, and I have two taels left."

When it was Su Qingmo's turn, Su Nuan noticed that his eyes were red and asked him what was wrong.

Su Qingmo's tears welled up in her eyes, but she finally held them back.

"It's all Fusheng's fault. I don't have even a tael of silver on me."

Su Qingmo recounted how he was tricked by Fusheng into the inn, how he was kidnapped, and how he was finally rescued by Chu Qi.

When he was cheated, he didn't know that he could not go back to the teahouse, and he didn't take the money he earned with him.

Su Nuan took out her purse, which contained only two pieces of silver, about three taels.

The five people had a total of twenty-five taels of silver on them, which was not a small amount, but they were fleeing, and these twenty-five taels of silver were not enough to buy a carriage. How would they eat and drink along the way? They couldn't just beg along the way.

Moreover, Su Nuan felt so angry when she mentioned money. She would not be willing to give it back unless she got it back.

She wanted to find Fusheng and take back the 30,000 taels of silver he had taken away.

So for the sake of money, Su Nuan decided to return to the imperial city.

He just went back secretly, found Fusheng, got the silver back and then left.

Thirty thousand taels!

This number made it impossible for others to say anything against it.

Only Xia Changze still wanted to fight for the original use of the twenty taels in his pocket, but after an inner struggle, he compromised.

Thirty thousand taels, how many battles would the men of the Xia family have to win to earn so much money!

So the five people happily decided to return to the imperial city.

But they went back secretly and didn't take the official road.

With Chu Qi around, the rabbits along the way were in trouble.

At first, Su Nuan was just hungry, and when she saw rabbit footprints in the snow, she casually said, "It would be great if there was a wild rabbit."

After hearing this, Chu Qi left for a while, and when he came back, he was holding a big fat rabbit in his hand.

Several people built a fire and roasted the rabbit, which smelled so delicious.

Then, whenever Chu Qi felt hungry along the way, he would go catch rabbits, and they were all fat.

They ate, played and walked as they went, and the journey from one day to the imperial city took them two days.

"The city gate is ahead. We are going back to retrieve your thirty thousand taels of silver. If your identity is exposed, you won't be able to leave."

Su Nuan nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Third Brother, I know what's going on."

The conversation between the two siblings was interrupted by the noise on the official road ahead.

"stop!"

"Help, help!"

The woman's scolding and the child's cry for help caught Su Nuan's attention. The voices sounded so familiar.

"Quick, save people."

Su Nuan suddenly remembered that the voice belonged to Liao Xinyi and her little medicine boy.

As soon as she shouted, Su Qingmo reacted the fastest and hid behind Chu Qi first.

The next person to take action was Lao Liu. He hesitated for a moment before running towards the shouting.

Next was Xia Changze. He hesitated a little longer, but after seeing Lao Liu rushing out, he no longer hesitated.

Su Nuan was about to run over to help, but before taking a step, she turned back to look at Chu Qi, who was still standing there with no intention of moving, and Su Qingmo behind him.

I silently labeled these two people in my heart: a useless duo.

When Su Nuan ran to Liao Xinyi, Xia Changze and Lao Liu were each holding a man.

The man struggled and cursed.

"Xia Changze, you bastard, let me go."

Su Nuan was delighted as soon as she saw him. She recognized this man. He was Mu Yunbai, the illegitimate son of King Ankang.

This is really a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road!

"Xinyi, what's going on?"

Su Nuan asked Liao Xinyi first.

Liao Xinyi was surprised at first, and then delighted.

"Qingyan, why are you here? Are you okay?"

Liao Xinyi was so surprised that she actually called out Concubine Xia's name.

Others didn't notice anything yet, but Mu Yunbai became quiet.
