The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

Chapter 64: Damn little woman, how dare you play tricks on us

After Shen Ruolan and the others woke up completely, they asked Ji Han, "Is the meal ready?"

"My lord, it's ready." Ji Han said.

Shen Ruolan heard that the meal was ready, so she told Ji Han, "It's ready, wake everyone up and eat."

"Yes," Ji Han said, and he woke up everyone who was sleeping one by one.

When everyone woke up and heard that it was time to eat, they looked up at the dark sky and couldn't help but feel confused.

However, no matter how confused they were, since it was an order from their master, no one asked any questions and they all walked to the fire pit and lined up to get their food.

It was called a meal, but in fact it was just a bowl of porridge made with all kinds of wild vegetables.

There is no way. Shen Ruolan doesn’t even have a place to live now. She is so poor. If she wants to have enough food to eat, she will probably have to work hard for a long time.

Li Heng, who was not far away, saw Shen Ruolan and the others eating so early. He frowned and said to his master: "Master, do you think this woman is setting a trap for us?"

Li Heng now completely couldn't understand this woman. You could say she was cold-blooded, but when she saw the people being humiliated, she would help them.

You might say she was kind, but she had no sympathy at all for her master's free farmhand. She only made him work hard and was reluctant to give him even a bowl of wild vegetable porridge.

Mu Jinxuan glanced at the people who were eating, stood up and said, "No matter what trap she digs, we will know when we arrive in Cangling City."

After saying this, he took out a piece of cloth and covered his mouth and nose and said, "Let's go and do our business."

When Li Heng saw his master leaving, he hurriedly followed him and shouted, "Master, the agreed time has not yet arrived."

"It's okay." After Mu Jinxuan finished speaking, he looked at Shen Ruolan and others with ill intent, and hurriedly flew into the town.

When Ji Han saw Mu Jinxuan and his servant leave, he whispered to Shen Ruolan, "Master, the master and servant are gone."

Shen Ruolan had been observing them the whole time, so she naturally saw them leave. She stopped eating and said to everyone, "Everyone, finish your meal and clean up within a quarter of an hour."

If she guessed correctly, Mu Jinxuan and his servant would probably take action in advance.

"Yes, master." After hearing her words, everyone was not afraid of the heat and drank the porridge in the bowl in three or two gulps.

Just when Shen Ruolan and her friends had finished their meal and packed their luggage, they heard a lot of people running out of the town.

Seeing that Mu Jinxuan had really taken action in advance, Shen Ruolan couldn't help but twitch her lips. As expected, asking strangers to do things was the most unreliable. Fortunately, they were fast enough, otherwise, they would have been robbed by the refugees.

Shen Ruolan and Ji Han waited there silently until daybreak. She quickly told Ji Han and his group, "Pack up and leave."

"Yes, master." After everyone finished speaking, they carried their luggage and set off.

After Mu Jinxuan and his subordinates came out of the small town after having a big meal, there was no sign of Shen Ruolan and the others.

Apart from the dense crowds of refugees fleeing in panic, the road was so clean that there was not even a fly to be seen.

Li Heng was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn little woman, how dare you play tricks on us."

After saying this, he asked his master: "Master, what should we do now?"

Mu Jinxuan was silent for a moment, then frowned and said to his subordinates, "What else can we do? Let's go directly to Cangling City."

Li Heng hesitated for a moment and said to his master, "But what if she is lying to us?"

Unexpectedly, Mu Jinxuan said firmly: "She won't."

Judging from her attitude last night, she was not only short of food, but also iron. Therefore, in order to get these things, there was no need for her to lie to them. It would only make it more troublesome to find them on the road.

"Okay." After listening to his master, Li Heng had no choice but to carry the dry food they had just bought in the town and walk towards Cangling City.

In the small town, the mayor woke up the next day and was so angry when he learned that the refugees had fled. That was all silver!

"Master, what should we do?" a servant asked the mayor.

The mayor said with a dark face: "What else can we do? We can only continue to block it."

His superiors had asked him to find 3,000 young people within three months, but two months had passed and he had only found 1,500 of them. So he had no choice but to reach out to the common people who had fled famine.

When the servant heard that they were going to continue blocking the road, he quickly bowed his head and said to the mayor, "Yes, I'll do it right away."

After the servant finished speaking, he turned around and left.

At this time, on a government road somewhere, Shen Ruolan and her people were walking among the refugees. She deliberately approached the refugees and chatted with them: "Uncle, where are you going this time?"

The man called the uncle was silent for a moment after hearing what Shen Ruolan said. He sighed and said to Shen Ruolan, "Alas, we don't know where to go. We just heard that there is a lot of rain in the south. We want to go there and find a place with good water sources to settle down."

After Shen Ruolan heard what the man said, she nodded in agreement and said, "Uncle, your idea is good. I also heard that there is a lot of water in Cangling City, and the people there are very tolerant, so I plan to settle there."

"Cang Lingcheng?" The uncle paused for a moment and asked Shen Ruolan, "Young man, who told you this?"

After a pause, he continued, "Cang Ling City is on the border. I heard that it's quite chaotic over there, and wars can break out at any time. It would be very dangerous to go there."

After Shen Ruolan heard what the man said, she was not afraid at all. Instead, she said happily, "Because there are often wars over there, there are fewer people going there. With fewer people, there are naturally more things. With more things, you won't be hungry when you go there."

After hearing what Shen Ruolan said, the man thought it made sense. After a brief silence, he said to Shen Ruolan, "Brother, you have a good idea. Perhaps we should go over there and take a look."

Shen Ruolan smiled at him and said, "Okay, uncle, we'll meet again in Cang Ling City."

After that, she stopped talking and slowly overtook the middle-aged man intentionally or unintentionally.

During the day's journey, Shen Ruolan kept overtaking the refugees and pretended to accidentally reveal to the refugees where she was going and described how good it was there.

It was not until the evening, when many refugees were too hungry to walk and had to look for food on the spot, that Shen Ruolan completely surpassed them.

However, Shen Ruolan, who had overtaken the refugees, stopped to rest after traveling for half an hour. She asked Liu Gu and the others to prepare meals, while she started to eat a dry steamed bun.

There was no way. She couldn't eat lunch today. As a pregnant woman, she was already starving.
