Su Juan carried her luggage and took the horse from the coachman. She had originally planned to wait until Duke Ping returned home before leaving, but the people from the Ministry of Justice were already ready to set off.

She was really worried about Miao Qing. If she didn't go with the people from the Ministry of Justice, she would have to wait until tomorrow to join the team escorting the relief silver. She really couldn't delay any longer.

"Are you going alone?" Song Qianhang asked.

"Xie Xun also said he wanted to go, but he took too long to pack his things, so I left first."

Song Qianhang was puzzled. It was just a matter of packing a bag. Why would it take so long?

Liu Xuan was not surprised, "Be careful along the way."

She climbed onto her horse and looked at the three of them. "Well, let's get together again after I bring Miao Qing back."

After Su Juan left, Song Qianhang and Liu Xuan were about to leave when they saw Xie Xun hurriedly carrying two large bags on his back, holding two bags and a sword in his hands, "Where's Su Juan?"

I saw Liu Xuan pointing in the direction of the city gate.

Xie Xun hurriedly pulled his horse towards the city gate, cursing, "You are such a good Su Juan, you said we should go together, but you actually left me behind and went ahead!"

Two servants ran out carrying the boxes and quickly chased after him, shouting, "Master! Wait for us!"

Song Qianhang and Shen Ruhui were silent: "."

Su Juan, a girl, only brought one bag, while Xie Xun, a grown man, needed more than three or four bags to travel, and he even needed a servant to carry a box.

This Prince Xie is really pampered.

Since there was no carriage, Xie Xun could only let two servants carry the boxes back. He rode a horse and followed Su Juan leisurely. "I'm telling you, this is your first time going on a long journey and you have no experience. I have all these treasures that you can use."

As he spoke, he patted the bag hanging on his horse's back.

Su Juan couldn't bear to look at him. Don't think I don't know that your bags are filled with clothes and silver.

Xie Xun raised his eyebrows slightly. Isn't it normal to bring two sets of clothes when going out?

As long as you have money, what can't you buy?

Yu Zhong came over and said, "Miss Su, we have to hurry up these days. Please forgive us if there is any inconvenience on the road."

Su Juan nodded, "Okay."

Yu Zhong glanced at Xie Xun.

This Prince Xie is notoriously pampered, and he is afraid that the journey will be bumpy, and he may not be able to withstand it.

Xie Xun waved his hand, "I can do it too, I'll just follow you guys, don't worry about me."

Xie Xun has been riding horses since he was a child. Couldn't he bear this little bit of hardship?

In the middle of the night, the group, who had been traveling all day, stayed in the woods. Some people made a fire, some went to fetch water, and even Su Juan took out a big cake and ate it while sitting by a tree.

Xie Xun was holding his pile of silver and had no idea where to spend it. He was confused and asked, "Not staying at the inn?"

Yu Zhong explained, "We just left He County. We walked along a mountain road. It's still half a day's walk to the next county. We will stay here for one night. I'm sorry to trouble you, Your Highness."

Xie Xun's stomach was rumbling. After traveling all day, he didn't even have the chance to drink a sip of water because he didn't even bring a water bag.

Su Juan took out another big pancake from her bag and gave him her water bag. "We don't know where Miao Qing and the others are. We need to hurry to Xuzhou to find out the situation there. So we should stay at the inn without wasting time on the way."

Xie Xun took a bite of the pancake. He had been traveling for a whole day, and now he was no longer as handsome and unrestrained as when he set out. "I understand."

I, Master Xie, am not the kind of person who makes trouble for no reason. I just live in the woods. At least I have a big cake to eat and I won't starve.

Xie Xun sighed, "I don't know how Liu Miaoqing is doing."

Su Juan was silent for a moment, "It will be fine."

&t;div tentadv>Yu Zhong on the side wanted to say something. According to the news from the local government of Xuzhou, Liu Miaoqing and his group fled after being robbed and killed, and their whereabouts have been unknown since then.

Miss Liu is different from other people. After all, she is a girl. If she encounters bandits and rioters,

Yu Zhong didn't say any of this, but just comforted Su Juan with two words, "Miss Su, don't worry. The local government has sent people to search, and when we get to Xuzhou, we will also look for Miss Liu together."

As he spoke, he handed the cloth clothes he had prepared to Xie Xun, "Prince, we will encounter many disaster victims on the road after tonight, so please change into cloth clothes and travel on your way after tonight."

Xie Xun was puzzled, but when he saw that everyone, including Su Juan, was wearing simple cloth clothes, he agreed.

They all live in the forest and wear cloth clothes. He, the great Prince Xie, is not so pampered.

Su Juan looked at Yu Zhong with gratitude, "Thank you, Lord Yu."

Yu Zhong felt a little uncomfortable with her gaze and turned his head away. As long as you stop staring at my ass,

It’s indeed the butt that I like, the person is just great!

Yu Zhong: “.”

As soon as Su Juan said this, the atmosphere among the group, which had been solemn because of the events in Xuzhou, suddenly became much more relaxed.

Xie Xun immediately glanced at Yu Zhong. Is his butt really that big?

Yu Zhong hid his butt more tightly than ever before.

The group traveled for three full days before finally arriving in Xuzhou before dusk. Along the way, they met countless disaster victims.

There were women in tattered clothes, running hot and holding their dying children. There were also those whose entire village had been affected by the disaster and who was the only one who escaped, having starved for days.

There were also seven-year-old children whose parents had all passed out from hunger on the road, and elderly people who were leaning on sticks and eventually died of illness on the road.

There were corpses everywhere and disaster victims everywhere. Some people were starving and were snatching food on the street and killing people for a steamed bun.

As the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, Xie Xun had never seen such a scene before. He felt very uncomfortable and gave away all the silver he had brought with him, even the clothes in his bag.

During the journey, Yu Zhong's subordinates advised him to keep a low profile. If he gave away so much money, he might be targeted. Even if he could help one or two people, he could not help everyone.

The current priority is to recover the 300,000 yuan in disaster relief money as soon as possible.

The group followed the route of Liu Miaoqing and others, entered Xuzhou, and found an inn to stay in in Lai County, Xuzhou, without alerting the local authorities.

Xie Xun was puzzled, "Why don't you stay at the post station?"

Don’t officials stay in official inns when they travel?

Su Juan whispered, "Master Yu suspects that the robbery of the disaster relief silver is related to the local government."

Xie Xun was shocked!

After all, without the assistance of local officials, it would be difficult to make so much silver disappear.

"Miao Qing and her friends were robbed near Lai County. Now they are on someone else's territory. If we want to investigate, we can only do it stealthily."

Yu Zhong nodded, "Eat something first, and then you can rest in the inn. We will go out to look for someone to see if there is any trace of Miss Liu."

Su Juan: "I'll go with you."

Yu Zhong: “Okay.”

Just as Xie Xun was about to say that he wanted to go too, Su Juan said, "You stay at the inn and keep an eye on everyone's luggage."

Xie Xun immediately disagreed, "The old man asked me to protect you, so I have to follow you."

Besides, this is an inn, not in the wilderness, so why are you looking at the luggage?
