Chapter 1923 Why hasn't Chen Bing lost any weight?

Shu Yu was reluctant to part with them, especially after seeing her father start packing his luggage, she sighed softly.

Lu Erbai patted her head and said, "Take good care of yourself. Once the shop here is stable, go home as soon as possible. Your mother and the others miss you."

"Um."

"Don't worry about the shop's repairs. He Gong is very skilled, and it's already taking shape these days. It will be open for business soon."

That evening, the whole family sat around in the backyard of the inn for a farewell dinner, and then went to bed early.

The next morning, the old lady and the others boarded the carriage and prepared to set off.

There were six people traveling together: the old lady, Granny Fang, Lu Erbai and Lu Sanzhu, Yuan Gui and Hua Xian.

In addition, there was a team of bodyguards, and Meng Pei.

Shu Yu was quite surprised when she saw him yesterday, thinking that Meng Pei was going to go back to Dong'an Prefecture with her.

Meng Pei said he was going to the Quansheng Escort Agency in Tianning County, Huajiang Prefecture. The Quansheng Escort Agency was burned down years ago, but it has now been rebuilt under the supervision of Yan Bo.

However, Meng Pei was still bothered by the earlier incident involving the Xuanyuan Sword.

This sword nearly killed Uncle Meng at Jiang Kuanyu's hands, and Tao Feili also lost his life because of it.

Meng Pei had said before that he wanted to dig the Xuanyuan Sword out of the ground and give it to the right person to prevent the Meng family from suffering any more misfortune. He also wanted to check if there were any clues about the people who tried to buy their dilapidated escort agency last time; he felt uneasy if he didn't find out.

Therefore, he would travel with the Lu family for a while, and then they would part ways when they reached Huajiang Prefecture.

Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng and the others saw the old lady and her party off at the city gate. The old lady instructed Shu Rui and the others, "Listen to your second sister and Brother Meng. Go with them wherever you go. Don't be alone, understand? Take Ying Dong with you and don't cause any trouble."

"Okay, okay, Grandma," Da Bao said impatiently.

The old woman picked up a small rag doll from the carriage and threw it at him, hitting him on the head. "Especially you, you better behave yourself."

Da Bao felt extremely wronged and looked at his father, who silently turned his head away.

He certainly wouldn't dare to contradict the old lady in front of Shu Yu.

The old lady actually had a lot more to say, but in the end she sighed and said to Shu Yu, "Alright, you can go back now, we're leaving."

Lu Erbai tightened the reins, about to give it a jerky jerk, when he suddenly stopped and exclaimed, "Eh!"

"What's wrong, second brother?"

Lu Erbai pointed ahead and said, "There's a group of officers escorting prisoners out of the city. I think I just saw... troops being deployed."

"Chen Bing? Where?" Everyone present turned to look at the group of prisoners.

Lu Erbai rubbed his eyes. He had only caught a fleeting glimpse of it, but now, upon closer inspection, he couldn't find it anymore.

The group of prisoners numbered about twenty, all of them shackled and disheveled, so much so that if you looked down, you couldn't tell who was who.

However, the group was about to pass by them. Shu Yu had good eyesight, and when they got closer, she actually saw them. "The fifth one from the left, it really is Chen Bing. It seems that today is the day they set off for their exile."

All eyes were on that person.

"Serves him right." The old lady snorted, but quickly frowned and looked Chen Bing up and down. "How come he hasn't lost any weight after being locked up for more than half a month?"
