Chapter 199 If you can do it, go ahead!
Although Yuzhou is a good place, I cannot live here for long.
If they stay there for too long, the prisoners' will will inevitably be worn down, and the road ahead will probably become even more difficult.
The next morning, Hu Dahai notified the convicts to continue their journey.
When she heard that they were about to set off, Yinxia's eyes lit up.
She and Zhao looked at each other, and both of them couldn't help but show joy on their faces.
"You don't have to go. Just stay in this inn and do odd jobs." Seeing the joy in her eyes, Xie Mubai said coldly.
Yinxia was his personal maid, and he didn't want to stab her chest with a sharp knife.
The official in charge of the post station is my grandfather's former subordinate. With his protection, as long as Yinxia doesn't do anything naughty, her future life will not be too bad.
"No, I want to follow the prince!" Yin Xia was shocked and immediately knelt on the ground and cried, "Ever since I left the Duke's Mansion, those people have not treated me as a human being at all."
"They don't feed the slaves and beat and scold them all day long."
"Before I met the prince, I thought I was doomed."
"If the prince doesn't want me, then I can only die."
Seeing her crying so heartbroken, the other prisoners felt sad too.
How can a young girl have a good life if she falls into the hands of a boy?
But they didn't say anything, after all, this was the Xie family's private matter.
Seeing this girl being so stubborn, Shen Wan became more and more unhappy.
They have already given her a chance, and since she is determined to die, she can only oblige her.
She thought for a moment and then said deliberately, "But exile is very hard. We are doing this for your own good."
"I'm not afraid of hardship!" Yin Xia said quickly after hearing this, "As long as I can serve the Crown Prince and the Young Madam, that's all I need."
"I know I'm stupid, but I'll definitely work hard to learn."
Now that things have come to this, it would be a bit inhumane if Shen Wan didn't agree.
"Okay, then you can come with us." She thought for a moment and said, "Just follow behind the second carriage and take care of the children."
When she heard that it was just about taking care of the child, Yinxia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She's not used to doing heavy physical work, but she should have no problem taking care of children.
Soon, the group packed their bags and left Yuzhou City in a mighty manner.
The weather was still very hot, and the scorching sun made the big trees on the roadside look listless.
After walking only a few miles, Yinxia was already sweating profusely.
What’s even more annoying is that the little devils in the car were either drinking water or peeing, which made her so angry that she wanted to swear.
Looking at Yin Xia, who was upset by the sun, Shen Wan smiled and looked at Xie Mubai: "Is she really not the master, but your maid?"
This little body is even more fragile than Xie Murong, the daughter of a noble family. She couldn't bear it after walking for just a short while.
"My girl doesn't do rough work." Xie Mubai frowned slightly.
Hearing this, Shen Wan couldn’t help but laugh at herself and said, “It seems that I’m not even as good as a girl.”
While they were chatting and laughing, an official who was exploring the way came back.
"Boss, the road ahead has collapsed. If we want to go to the Northwest, we can only go from Lingyun Peak."
Lingyun Peak?
Upon hearing these three words, Xie Mubai's expression suddenly changed.
Originally thought Yinxia had a private affair with him, but unexpectedly she wanted to kill him!
However, before the house was confiscated, the girl had never even left the capital, so how did she know about Lingyun Peak?
While thinking, he saw Zhao's smug expression.
Xie Mubai saw it and his heart moved slightly.
It turned out to be her again!
"What should we do?" Hu Dahai became anxious when he heard this.
There are only two roads from Yuzhou City to the Northwest, and usually everyone takes the wide and flat official road.
There is only a steel cable suspension bridge on the Lingyun Peak side. Although cars and horses can pass through, no one has been walking there for a long time due to disrepair.
After hearing this, an official said with a pale face: "How about we take a detour?"
Taking a detour from here, the most conservative estimate is that it will take at least a month.
A month later, even if the convicts rode on the hot wheels, it would be impossible for them to reach the Northwest as scheduled.
For a moment, Hu Dahai, who was always experienced and calm, was at a loss and could only look at Xie Mubai and Shen Wan for help.
"Let's go and take a look first." Xie Mubai thought for a moment and said, "If it doesn't work, we can think of a way."
Since Yinxia and Zhao were intending to lead him there, he wanted to see what other tricks these two women could come up with.
Hu Dahai listened and nodded.
So, the group turned around and headed towards Lingyun Peak.
After walking about one or two miles, a large river suddenly appeared in front of us.
The river was extremely turbulent, and the cliffs on both sides were very steep, as if they were cut by a knife.
The only way to the other side is a long steel cable suspension bridge for people and horses.
The wooden planks on the bridge deck are old and look tattered.
Suddenly, it got dark.
A gust of wind blew, and the dilapidated suspension bridge swayed, looking like it would collapse at any time.
"This carriage shouldn't be able to pass through, right?" Li looked at it and her face turned pale.
Yin Xia rolled her eyes and smiled mischievously, "With the young lady leading the way, everything will be fine."
This bridge is old, and Zhao has notified someone to tamper with it, so it would be strange if nothing went wrong.
As long as Shen Wan's carriage passed by, the couple would definitely fall into the water.
The river was extremely deep, and it was impossible for them to survive.
After hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Wan.
"I don't think it's a big problem either." Shen Wan glanced at the shaky suspension bridge and said with a smile, "Yinxia, you explore the way first."
Upon hearing this, Yinxia was immediately shocked.
how so?
There are so many people here, why let a little girl like her explore the way?
"Me?" she asked, somewhat disbelieving her ears.
Shen Wan nodded: “Yes, it’s you.”
"You are a servant, do you still want your master to explore the way?"
Although this may not sound good, it is the truth.
As a servant, how can I let my master put himself in danger?
After hearing this, sweat immediately soaked Yinxia's thin clothes.
"Are you scared?" She was panicked and spoke without thinking.
Shen Wan's red lips furrowed slightly as she sneered, "That's right, I'm scared. If you can do it, go ahead!"
Yinxia opened her mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
In desperation, she could only look at Zhao for help.
"That's not very appropriate," Zhao said hoarsely, "even though this girl is a servant, she is still a human life."
"Fifth sister-in-law, you are skilled in martial arts, so it would be most appropriate for you to explore the way."
After hearing this, Shen Wan couldn't help but sneered: "You probably forgot that my name is not on the exile list, so this matter has no chance of happening to me."
She smiled and looked at Hu Dahai: "Brother Hu, my sister-in-law is brave and careful. Why not let her accompany Yinxia to explore the way together?"
Seeing that the suspension bridge was extremely dangerous, Hu Dahai was reluctant to let his brothers take the risk.
Now after hearing this, he nodded without even thinking.
Anyway, Zhao was not a good person. If she really fell into the river and drowned, it would be a blessing in disguise.
"You go!" He pointed at Zhao's nose with a long whip and shouted sternly.
