Chapter 36 Conflict
Led by the officials, the group walked into the deep mountains and old forests. The mountain road was not as narrow as the official road, and there were thorny bushes on both sides. The men walking in front of the team noticed this problem and consciously cleared it with axes when passing by.
"You all have nothing to do, right? Did I ask you to do it? Can you bear the consequences of delaying our progress?"
Wang Gang was originally walking in front of the team. When he noticed the actions of the men in the exile team behind him, he stopped, turned around and scolded them.
Going into the deep mountains and forests is to make it easier for Chen Er and Li Kui to take action. Such a harsh environment is a good help. If they really let all these men get rid of them, what's the point.
"Don't exiles usually take the official road? This mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel, it doesn't look like an escort route at all..."
"Officer, have we taken the wrong road? If so, wouldn't all our hard work have been in vain?"
Several prisoners sentenced to death were grumbling in the back. They were different from ordinary exiles. Their shackles were heavy, and it was difficult for them to walk on the official road, let alone this kind of mountain road.
"What are you arguing about? Are you a police officer, and am I a police officer? Do you know the way? If you keep whining, I'll handcuff you..."
Wang Gang didn't expect that this group of serious criminals would be so disobedient. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed and threatened in a serious manner.
When they heard that they were going to be handcuffed, the serious criminals quieted down and the team moved forward slowly.
Cheng Weiyao's attention has been distracted by her surroundings since she entered the mountain road, and naturally she also noticed the movement in front of the exile team.
"Chengming, come down and walk by yourself. It's not convenient for your mother to carry you on the mountain road behind."
Cheng Weiyao looked at the bushes on both sides and walked gently to the side of the imperial concubine. Most of the men were dressed neatly in long trousers, but the women were all wearing long skirts, which were hooked and hung, making it difficult for them to walk.
"It's okay, there are thorns on the road, I'm afraid of hurting Cheng Ming..."
The imperial concubine felt a little scared when she saw the sharp thorns in the bushes. Children are lively and active, and it would be terrible if they were pricked or hurt by them.
However, Wen Chengming had already spontaneously wanted to get down from the Imperial Noble Consort's arms. He felt that he was already a little boy and it was inappropriate for him to always stay in his mother's arms. But his mother seemed to like this so he just followed her wishes.
"Mother, I can walk by myself. I'm not stupid. I know where to avoid thorns."
Wen Chengming's soft voice and firm eyes finally made the imperial concubine give up the idea of hugging him.
Cheng Weiyao's prediction was confirmed. As they went further back, without the team in front to lead the way, the women's hems were often caught and scratched.
The subtle sounds of cloth tearing were heard one after another in the team. Some women thought about it and decided to lift their skirts.
With the first person taking the lead, more and more women began to lift their skirts. The small and exquisite embroidered shoes under their long skirts and the fair skin of their calves made the officers escorting the women jealous.
"Wow, this is great, three-inch golden lotus, these small feet are extremely fragrant and erotic, playing with them will definitely make you ecstatic for eternity..."
"Do you have good taste? That's a married woman! If you want to look at something, look at someone like this who's still single. Look how white and tender her calves are. I could lick those legs for a whole year..."
A group of officials stood arm in arm, commenting on the women from behind, their foul language becoming increasingly vulgar.
Most of the exiled people were daughters of wealthy families or women from the palace. They usually made friends with gentlemen and had never heard such unruly language. They were immediately ashamed and angry.
"Oh my! You're blushing! Are you thinking about being loved by the officers?"
The women were so angry that their faces turned red. The officers became even more excited, their eyes scanning directly at the chests and waists, as if they wanted to take action directly.
Wen Chengyun was a martial artist, and his perception and hearing were much better than those of ordinary people. The commotion behind the team came into his ears in bits and pieces. He slowed down his pace, and it was obvious that he was thinking of taking action.
"Have you said enough? You come from a government office, but you speak so despicably, even worse than those serious criminals!"
Wen Liyu couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she took a step forward and blocked the little girl behind her.
Such a young child was peeping. She had never heard of such shamelessness of these policemen.
Most of the people the officers usually escorted were ordinary prisoners. Those prisoners always spoke and did things under their command, and over time they had developed a superior temperament. Now that Wen Liyu had jumped out to sing a different tune, some people were immediately unhappy.
"Princess Mingcheng, right? You seem like a princess, but why are you traveling with a bunch of us?"
Li Kui took two steps forward and stretched out his dirty hands, aiming clearly at her breasts. He had never touched such a noble woman before...
"You should be thankful that I'm an official. If I were a serious criminal, I'd be the first one to sleep with you!"
Li Kui said this in a low voice. Wen Liyu's face turned pale. She didn't expect that the police officer would be so bold in public.
"you……"
Wen Liyu's lips trembled, and she took a step back with her hands protecting her chest, and fell to the ground just as the officials wished.
"Be careful, little sister!"
Cheng Weiyao took a quick step forward and protected Wen Liyu's face with her hands. The thorny bushes on both sides of the road were no joke. If her face was really scratched, the conditions on the road of exile would probably leave a scar.
This sister-in-law takes such good care of her clothes that she is obviously a beauty lover. If her appearance is damaged, she might even commit suicide.
"Thanks……"
Wen Liyu was still in shock. She slumped on the ground, looking at the sharp spikes so close to Cheng Weiyao's hand and felt a pang of fear in her heart.
"What? You want to show off too? Everyone has sharp eyes. I didn't do anything to her. Why are you looking at me like that?"
Li Kui looked at Cheng Weiyao with disdain. Although this type of woman seemed to have a strong desire to conquer, he was very unhappy with the look in this woman's eyes.
"You're joking, officer! We have to rely on your opinion to survive. How dare we offend you... I fell down accidentally. You're not to blame."
Cheng Weiyao withdrew her gaze, reached out and gently pulled Wen Liyu up, ending the farce with a simple move.
Wen Liyu's face was puffed up like a little pufferfish with anger. She was obviously not convinced and wanted to argue a few more times. She originally thought that Cheng Weiyao would speak on her side, but she didn't expect this woman to be so ungrateful.
"Be patient for a while and everything will be peaceful. If you want to retaliate, I'll give you a chance. Now, be quiet..."
Cheng Weiyao held Wen Liyu's wrist, reached out her hand and pretended to tidy up the hair around her ears, but in fact she was quietly making a promise.
