Yu Nan and Wu An did not even glance at the team in the distance, but instead warned them to stay in their places and not to try to escape.

Then two officers took turns, one to rest while the other watched over the prisoner, waiting for the sun, which was about to reach its highest point, to slowly set before it was time for them to set off.

This has been the case for the past two days, and the Shen family has become accustomed to this mode of travel. They set off early and rest early, and they can rest with peace of mind.

The melodious sound of birds singing came from the woods next to him, clear and loud. Shen Jia's mood gradually improved with the singing, and the aches in his body seemed to gradually dissipate.

As long as you have hope in adversity, the pain you suffer now will be nothing.

The shadows of the trees under their feet slowly climbed up everyone's trouser legs, and the light climbed up Shen Jia's eyes through the tiny gaps left between the overlapping leaves.

She was forced to open her eyes, and the team in the distance was still resting there.

Wu An is on duty here now, holding a piece of weed in his mouth and looking into the distance leisurely.

Soon it was time to hurry on. Wu An woke up Yu Nan and said, "Brother, it's time."

Yu Nan, who was woken up, felt a sense of depression in his heart and shouted to the Shen family who were still resting:

"Get up, get up! You have no sense at all. Hurry up! If you can't get to the destination tonight, you will sleep on the road."

Knowing Yu Nan's temper, everyone stood up and followed the officer on their journey.

This time, Shen Jia even liked the chains on his hands. The crisp sound of the shackles colliding with each other seemed to disappear from his ears soon.

Holding the chain tightly in his hand, he slowly approached the team in front that was resting.

Yu Nan didn't even look at the other person and kept walking forward.

Just as he was about to pass the carriage at the front of the team, a man holding a big knife suddenly appeared in front of him and stopped him from moving forward.

Yu Nan was very confused and said in a bad tone:

"We are escorting the prisoners according to the order of the emperor. Do you think you, a group of escorts, want to block our way?"

As he spoke, he bowed in the direction of Shengjing in the distance, and at the end, his hand was still tightly gripping his sword.

Chen Yuan immediately apologized with a smile, "Sir, you are embarrassing us. We are from the Chang Escort Agency in Shengjing City. You should be familiar with us, right?

Just as we were coming out of the city, our carriage broke down and we have been repairing it here for a few days.

I just happened to meet you two officials and wanted to say hello. You have misunderstood me.

After saying this, he looked curiously at the escorted prisoners.

As soon as Yu Nan heard this, he knew that the person behind the other party was not someone to be trifled with, so he waved his hand to indicate that he didn't mind the offense.

Then he said, "Since this is all a misunderstanding, please make way. We can't delay in escorting the prisoner. If anything goes wrong, no one can protect you."

But at this moment, Chen Yuan showed a very surprised expression and blurted out excitedly: "Miss, why are you here?"

At this time, everyone turned their attention to Shen Jia. Shen Jia looked at him with a confused look: "Who are you?"

"It's me, Miss!

do not you remember?

Ten years ago, outside Shengjing City, in the dead of winter, you saved me. Don’t you remember?

At that time, you hired someone to treat my illness and later gave me some money. Thanks to you, I am fortunate enough to be alive today.

With the money you gave me, I happened to meet a master, learned some martial arts, and came to the Chang's Escort Agency to make a living."

As he spoke and recalled the scene at that time, Chen Yuan couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. These moving words fascinated everyone present.

After saying this, before Shen Jia could say anything, Chen Yuan pulled Yu Nan to a tree in the distance.

"Sir, I have a humble request. It just so happens that our escort agency's destination this time is also the northern border. After delivering the goods, we will also bring back some things that are not available in Shengjing.

Why don't you all set off with our escort company?

Let me repay the young lady for saving my life."

As he spoke, he stuffed something into Yu Nan's hands.

Yu Nan carefully weighed the weight in his hand, and after some thought, he agreed to Chen Yuan's request.

He was still muttering, "There are not many people like you who are grateful these days. Since you have such a heart, I can't stop you.

How about this, we can separate when our routes diverge later."

Immediately put the things in your hands into your arms.

Yu Nan really didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise. Originally, he wanted to spend all the money in Shen Jia's hands and it would be considered a good thing.

Now it seems that as long as Shen Jia remains in his hands, there is no need to worry about not being able to find a better place for his parents, wife and children to live when he returns this time.

Then he turned around and told Wu An and the Shen family the good news, but he said that he had fought for it for them.

Shen Jia didn't want to care what he was saying now. He just knew that now everyone could finally travel without having to walk.

Everyone said in unison: "Thank you, officer!"

Everyone's heart began to get restless, and even the usually dull team could be heard with the sound of everyone discussing in low murmurs.

Chen Yue let out a long sigh, "Finally, I don't have to hurry. If I keep going, my legs will fall off before I even reach the northern border."

Everyone stood there and massaged their legs until the last carriage in the team was repaired. Then they found an empty space on the carriage and sat down.

This time, Shen Jia and Shen Yue sat together again, because Shen's mother needed to take close care of Old Madam Shen.

After several days of traveling, Mrs. Shen's body really couldn't take it anymore, and her headache, which had not occurred for a few days, began to show signs of recurring.

Of course, there were not only Shen Jia and Shen Yue in the carriage, there was also someone who had been waiting here for a long time - Fuqiu.

Because of physical fatigue, as soon as she got on the carriage, Shen Yue leaned against the wooden box on the carriage and fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Jia kept getting closer to Fuqiu and whispered in her ear, "Fuqiu, I really didn't make a mistake in choosing you. This time, it's all thanks to you.

The one who just negotiated with the police was your brother Chen Yuan, right?

Have you changed your name now? What is it?

Fuqiu looked at the embarrassed Shen Jia, tears accumulating in her eyes and looking like they were about to fall.

The first thing she did was apologize to Shen Jia: "Miss, I'm sorry, this servant is really useless.

Although you planned to meet here this morning, I didn't believe you and almost ran back to find you, disrupting our plans.

I have already gone to the government office to have my slavery status removed and am now a good citizen. I will follow the surname Chen you gave your brother and use the two characters "Fuqiu" (Flora), which is also the name you gave me."

Shen Jia looked into her eyes and said firmly:

"You did really well this time. Since you are no longer my servant, don't call yourself a slave in the future. It doesn't sound nice."

"Miss, Miss, do you not want Fuqiu anymore? Even without that piece of paper, you are still my master.

From the moment you rescued my brother and me from the snow, I swore that I would serve you by your side for the rest of my life."

Chen Fuqiu's voice couldn't stop trembling. She was very worried that she would abandon herself like this, and she kept expressing her loyalty to Shen Jia.

Shen Jia patted Chen Fuqiu's head comfortingly and chuckled, "Isn't it good to be free?

And I heard that your brother is now the best escort in the escort agency. Your life will get better and better if you follow him.

As for me, your lady, I am now penniless and have no idea what the future holds. The bitter cold of the North is not suitable for you to stay."

I thought to myself: What a silly girl! She can’t even protect herself now, how can she keep such a young girl by her side?

However, Chen Fuqiu grabbed Shen Jia's hand tightly with a pitiful look in her eyes.

"I'm not afraid of these. As long as I stay by the young lady's side, I'll do whatever you ask of me.

As for my brother, I've already told him about it, and he agrees with me. He'll often take this route, and after saving up some silver, he'll return to the North to find me."

At this moment, Shen Jia suddenly felt that he had no reason to reject her.

Because she is determined to stay by his side, and even one day Chen Yuan will join them.

However, Shen Jia still had to make it clear to her in advance.

“The environment in the north is harsh, and our lives will definitely not be as good as our previous days in Houfu.

Of course, Miss, I won't let us go on like this. Also, there will be no monthly allowance in the future, and you will have to earn money on your own.

Do you have confidence?

Chen Fuqiu immediately burst into laughter and said, "As long as I can stay by your side, I'm willing to do anything. Not having a monthly allowance doesn't matter."

Then he began to focus on Shen Jia's disheveled face, took out the handkerchief in his arms, and wanted to clean Shen Jia's face.

"Miss, can I wipe your face? It will probably be a long time before the next rest period. After wiping your face, you can lean on me and take a nap."

Shen Jia didn't let Fuqiu do it, but took the handkerchief and wiped his own face, saying:

"Since you're going to stay by my side in the future, please stop using the term 'slave'. Our Shen family can't afford to keep slaves.

I will introduce you to my family as my adopted sister, and your status will be the same as ours."

Fuqiu almost cried because of these words. How could there be such a good lady in the world?

With tears in her eyes and her throat as if blocked by something, she nodded continuously at Shen Jia.

After taking care of his face, Shen Jia leaned against the wooden box behind him and began to fall asleep.

Fuqiu, who was beside her, looked at the young lady's tired appearance and did not dare to take her eyes away. This was the first time she and the young lady had been separated for such a long time since they met.

The wheels continued to roll forward, and the Shen family, exhausted after several days, fell asleep.

Wu An, who was executing this kind of person for the first time, was a little confused. Looking at Yu Nan who had closed his eyes and was resting beside him, he asked tentatively:

"Brother, is it really okay for us to escort the prisoners like this?

This is so comfortable, isn't it? It doesn't feel like we're escorting prisoners, but rather like we're on a long journey."

Yu Nan didn't even frown as he said, "God knows, the earth knows, you know, and I know, but who knows how the criminal got to the northern border?

Besides, wouldn’t it be better to go by car? Aren’t you tired these past few days?

"Hehe! This is certainly great, but I don't know why, I'm still a little worried.

But since you said so, I feel relieved."
