Chapter 248: Those who fall behind will die

“No need.”

Xie Yuyan's words did not soften Xuan Qi's tone at all.

On the contrary, his eyes became even colder: "If you don't leave, don't blame me for taking action now."

They all saw how hard Lu Wanyin had worked these past few days.

This woman's thanks are not as good as the lady's rest time.

Lu Wanyin yawned and took a short nap.

She noticed the movement over there, but did not stop Xuan Qi.

She never thought about getting along well with Xie Yuyan.

Hearing that thank you, it is indeed better for her to close her eyes and rest for a while.

Xie Jingci was on top of the carriage. When he noticed that the movement below had stopped, he slowly leaned over to look down.

I realized that Lu Wanyin had fallen asleep without me noticing.

He took the cloak with heartache, got out of the car carefully, and sat next to Lu Wanyin.

He held up the wide cloak with his hands and covered Lu Wanyin with it to block the falling snowflakes.

Half an incense stick of time passed, and Lu Wanyin still showed no signs of waking up.

Xie Jingci silently gestured to his men.

The team set off again at the originally scheduled time.

Xuan Qi made careful arrangements: "Keep your voices down, don't disturb Madam's rest."

Lu Wanyin didn't know when she fell asleep. She just felt that she had slept for a long time and her whole body was warm.

She couldn't help but stretch, and even wanted to turn over, but was stopped by a pair of hands in time.

She frowned in dissatisfaction and flipped the page hard.

"Ma'am, if you push any harder, it will fall to the ground."

A voice filled with laughter sounded.

Lu Wanyin suddenly opened her eyes and saw the fur-edged cloak on her head and Xie Jingci's smiling eyes.

She yawned, held onto Xie Jingci's shoulders and sat up straight: "How long have I slept?"

"Just over an hour."

Xie Jingci took a piece of luncheon meat and handed it to her: "You didn't eat during the break just now, you should eat something."

A whole piece of luncheon meat was grilled until golden brown, with a light layer of oil on it.

From a foot away, the rich aroma of meat penetrated my nose.

Lu Wanyin, who didn't feel very hungry at first, suddenly had her stomach growl twice.

"I'm really hungry."

Lu Wanyin didn't act pretentiously and took a big bite of his hand.

This luncheon meat was previously roasted and brought from the end of the world.

After taking a sip, I couldn't taste the familiar flavor of the spiritual spring water.

After eating all the grilled food, they make their own luncheon meat using the meat raised in the space, which is the real delicacy.

Lu Wanyin ate two slices in a row, then picked up two more snacks and ate them, then she looked carefully at the advancing team.

We have been walking for most of the day, but still haven't seen the shadow of the mountain.

"It would be better to give these people a few more days to train, so that they won't cry too much when they get to the mountains."

Xie Jingci took off his cloak and gently shook off the layer of snow on it. "After we pass that hill, we'll be close to the next state. We'll have to be extremely vigilant every day."

Xie Jingci's eyes were dark: "The more food is scarce in winter, the more rampant those bandits become.

The people living at the foot of the mountain suffered terribly, and the imperial court sent people to provide disaster relief many times.

Before the relief food reached the people, it was robbed by these bandits. After several times, someone suggested suppressing the bandits first and then providing relief.

"Then what"

Lu Wanyin asked softly, but she had a rough idea in her mind.

If it were effective, these bandits wouldn't be so rampant now.

As expected, Xie Jingci's face darkened. "Officials and bandits are one family. Some people always think that suppressing bandits is a good opportunity to enrich themselves. A lot of money has been allocated for suppressing bandits, and not a single bandit has lost money."

Lu Wanyin was not surprised at all: "What they ate, they will return sooner or later."

Lu Wanyin deliberately slowed down the carriage.

After a while, he fell behind the team.

There are guards leading the way, so don't worry.

The people behind...

Lu Wanyin stood on the shaft of the cart facing the wind, raising her arm and drawing the bow.

"Lift your wrist a little further. The wind is strong today. Move your hand a little further to the right."

Xie Jingci stood beside Lu Wanyin, half-hugging her and lifting her arms to a suitable height.

The carriage was still moving forward, but the two men stood still as a mountain.

Lu Wanyin remembered every word of Xie Jingci's reminder, adjusted her posture, and aimed the fully drawn bow at the back of the team.

A man from the government office who had fallen behind secretly was shot through the heart by an arrow.

The other person was only half a step behind. Startled, he rushed madly into the distance: "Help, help, I don't want to die, I don't want to die——"

Lu Wanyin steadily held up the second arrow.

Another arrow pierced the heart.

When she got tired of practicing medicine, she wanted to find something to entertain herself.

This bow and arrow was found among the things searched in the capital. Xie Jingci was an expert in this field and was happy to be her teacher.

After killing two prisoners who tried to escape, Lu Wanyin put away his bow and arrow and looked coldly at the others who were frightened: "Anyone who falls behind will die."

The first group of prisoners looked at the people in the government office who were shaking like sieves, and they just felt funny in their hearts.

Those of them who had seen the methods of Lu Wanyin and Xie Jingci would not have such a ridiculous idea of ​​running away.

After a long time, these people in the government office should have learned their lesson.

The sky gradually darkened.

There was still quite a distance from their intended target, the small hill.

Someone began to look at Lu Wanyin secretly.

It's getting dark, isn't it time to take a rest?

But Lu Wanyin had a sullen face the whole time, leaning against the front of the carriage, either reading a medical book or killing a few prisoners who tried to fall behind to stretch his arms and legs.

There is no intention of letting him rest at all.

From dusk till late at night.

My feet have started to go numb.

Under the white snow, the road at night is still easy to see.

Lu Wanyin didn't say anything, and no one dared to stop.

They can replenish food at any time, and the food made with spiritual spring water has a very good recovery effect.

The physical fatigue was relieved, but the mental fatigue could not be reduced.

It was not until almost dawn that the small hill with a vague outline appeared in everyone's sight under the reflection of the snow.

Everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"I, I really can't walk anymore."

Finally, suppressed sobs were heard from the team.

The sudden sound in the silence deflated the team that was on the verge of collapse.

"I'm so tired, I can hardly feel my hands and feet."

"I want to rest. I knew the wilderness would be hard, but we haven't even reached it yet, so why..."

"Miss Lu said it was for our own good, but why didn't she train with us? I also want to rest."

"I want to rest"

"If you feel your goal is near, you can relax. Now, if anyone dares to fall behind, even if you can catch up, you don't have to follow."

Lu Wanyin, who had been sitting in front of the carriage for a long time without moving, and everyone thought she was asleep, suddenly said, "If you feel you can't hold on any longer, you can leave now."

The voice was clear, cool and pleasant, without any trace of sleepiness.

Lu Wanyin still held the book in her hand, and her cold eyes swept over the people who were talking: "You want to know why I didn't train with you?"

The person who spoke didn't expect that Lu Wanyin was not asleep.

I didn't expect that my voice was so low and from such a distance, Lu Wanyin could still hear it.
