"Are the hearts of these bailiffs made of iron? How dare they torture these prisoners so cruelly!"

Old Mrs. Su was sitting in the carriage. When she heard the crying behind her, she couldn't help but lift the curtain to look back.

Seeing the yamen runners deliberately torturing the prisoners was painful just by looking at it, not to mention how much more painful it must have been for the prisoners themselves.

Su Yunhai rode in front on his horse. After hearing his mother's words, he said coldly, "These yamen runners must have seen that these prisoners have a lot of good things in their hands, so they tortured them on purpose in order to get the prisoners' filial piety."

"They are just a bunch of black-hearted beasts!"

When Old Lady Su heard this, she felt that what the Second Brother said made sense. She just couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she immediately lowered the curtains to pretend that she didn't see anything.

But the painful cries could not be stopped and they continued to ring out in our ears.

Su Yunhai knew that his mother was soft-hearted and couldn't bear to see such a scene, so he immediately ordered the team to speed up.

He roughly estimated the speed at which the exile team was traveling.

According to their pace, they could only walk about ten miles in this afternoon.

...

...

After walking along the estimated route, Su Yunhai did not find a suitable inn or post station nearby.

I don’t know if the exile team will stop nearby.

He led the team forward for another two miles, and finally saw a slightly wider section of the road, where the team set up camp.

Su Yunhai specially bought a lot of high-quality tents in Beijing, and they were all larger sizes, one group could accommodate twenty to thirty people.

The tent parts alone filled two full trucks.

Su Yunhai asked each family to send someone to learn how to set up the system, and those who didn't know how to do it had the escort masters to guide them.

Not long.

Four tents, three large and one small, were set up on the open space beside the official road.

There was one bodyguard, one shared by the males from the Su and Chen families, one for the females, and a small one for the six elders from the two families.

After the sleeping place was arranged, the women in the family immediately began to prepare meals for nearly a hundred people.

Su Chen and his two families have been fleeing from famine for nearly a month.

Everyone has already trained.

Today we had travelled less than thirty miles in total, and we were able to take turns sitting in the carriage to rest, so almost no one felt tired.

Shen Shuli took her second uncle Shen Yuebai and her three brothers Su Pingan, Shen Ziqian and Shen Zihao to strengthen their training in the mountains.

"Ari, why are there so many footprints here?"

The four of them were instructed by Shen Shuli, and each of them looked for an open space to practice.

Shen Yuebai aimed at an open space and prepared to practice, but suddenly saw fresh footprints all over it, and he immediately became alert.

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuli and the other three all looked over curiously.

"They are indeed fresh footprints." Shen Ziqian said with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Shen Shuli walked to the vicinity of the footprints and looked down along the position of the toes.

I could just see where they were stationed, clearly.

"These people were just standing here and spying on us." Shen Shuli gave an affirmative answer.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuebai and the other three's faces changed drastically.

They all turned back and checked the hillside behind them, trying to find the person hiding in the mountain.

pity.

They can't see anything.

"Second uncle, go down and tell my father and Xuan Guang to step up their guard."

"Brother Ziqian, the three of you continue to practice here. Pay close attention to your surroundings. If you notice any movement, alert everyone immediately."

"Okay, then what are you going to do?" Shen Yuebai looked at Shen Shuli worriedly and asked.

Shen Shuli smiled and explained, "I plan to go around and look for people in the mountains to see who is hiding here. I need to find out whether these people are specifically targeting our team or have other purposes. Otherwise, I will feel uneasy."

"Then be careful. If you encounter something you can't handle, don't try to be stubborn. Come back and find us to work out a solution together."

"Got it, uncle. I'm leaving first."

Shen Shuli pretended to know nothing and deliberately walked and stopped on the mountain, picking some wild vegetables and herbs from time to time.

Unknowingly, Shen Shuli had already left the place where she was just now.

She had just determined the direction and was about to go in and look for those people's traces when she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps stepping on dry grass behind her.

After careful identification, it was discovered that there were actually three people.

Among these three people, there is a martial arts master with internal strength. His breathing pattern is obviously very different from the other two and he is easy to identify.

Shen Shuli remained calm and continued to search nearby, pretending to know nothing.

"It seems that those people know that we have discovered the problem and have taken precautions, otherwise they would not have sent people to follow us secretly."

Shen Shuli couldn't help but worry about the people in the team, wondering what the situation was like over there.

Fortunately, she was very cautious and didn't collect much, so she stuffed them all in her pockets and didn't use up any space along the way.

Otherwise, she might have revealed her most important card.

Noticing that the three people were getting closer and closer from behind, Shen Shuli pretended to walk a short distance in another direction and then stopped, her body just blocked by a big tree.

Shen Shuli immediately took out a silenced pistol from the space, suddenly turned her head, and quickly fired at the position of the master.

The three people behind them never thought that the little girl in front of them not only discovered them, but also planned to fight back against them.

Especially for a master with internal strength, he was only ten feet away from Shen Shuli.

The distance was so close that he had no idea when the woman in front of him discovered them.

The two sides were too close to each other, and even if he sensed the danger, his body had no time to react.

The bullet hit him right in the center of his forehead, killing him instantly.

The other two didn't expect it.

When he reacted, he saw that his companion had fallen to the ground with a shocking wound on his forehead.

Shen Shuli fired again, killing one person instantly.

The last person finally reacted and turned around and ran away in fright.

"Bang!"

The man was hit in the thigh and fell directly to the ground.

Because it was a hillside, his body rolled down the slope for a long distance before stopping.

Shen Shuli approached the man slowly.

The man wailed in pain, watching the short Shen Shuli approaching him step by step, as if he was looking at a terrifying demon.

"You, don't come over here!"

Shen Shuli looked down at the man and asked coldly, "Who are you? Why are you here? Why are you following me? What is your purpose?"

The man was sweating from the pain, but he couldn't and didn't dare to say these questions. He could only avoid the other person's sight and endure the struggle with gritted teeth.

Seeing that he didn’t speak, Shen Shuli raised the gun and threatened: “It seems that you want to die now.”

When the man saw that she was really going to kill him, he immediately begged for mercy: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

Shen Shuli didn't move, waiting for him to speak.

"We are the Third Prince's men. He sent us to rob and kill you, and to take care of the Xie family at the same time."

Shen Shuli's face remained calm, but her mood had obviously changed.

"How many of you are here? Where are you hiding?"

"We, we have thirty people, and five Jinwu Guards. You have killed one of them. The others are hiding in the mountains behind your camp. We will take action in the second half of the night..."
