General Qin was pleased to hear his eldest grandson's words. He nodded and said to the Qin family sons surrounding him, "You should all be like this in the future."
The Qin family sons heard their patriarch's words.
They wiped their mouths and replied, "Yes, Father! (Grandpa) We will definitely protect the young mistress from now on."
General Qin nodded in satisfaction upon hearing his son's answer.
He continued, addressing everyone, "Alright, everyone, hurry up and eat. Today's journey should be easier, at least we're no longer shackled."
Shen Yingying and Ouyang Yuqing were drinking rice porridge and eating pickled vegetables in the pavilion.
They had no idea that General Qin was educating his children and grandchildren so early in the morning.
At this moment, Shen Yingying had a bite of pickled vegetables in her mouth. She said to Ouyang Yuqing, "Yuqing, if we walk a little longer today, we'll reach Fengtian Town."
Shall we go and explore the area once we get there?
After taking a sip of porridge, Ouyang Yuqing answered her question.
"If you want to shop, then we'll shop."
Hmm, let's go to town and see what good food there is. I'll buy some that I haven't tried before.
When Ouyang Yuqing heard his wife's words, he thought to himself with affection: "Hmm, eat more, get fat and give me more babies."
If Shen Yingying knew what Ouyang Yuqing was thinking at this moment, she would definitely tell him: "Dream on..."
Breakfast was eaten quickly, and the escorting officer, Yang Yi, sent the exiled prisoners off early.
Yesterday, the exiles had been traveling all day. Most of them were so tired that their backs ached, their legs cramped, and some had large blisters on their feet that had shriveled up from walking, making each step excruciatingly painful.
They were all complaining and unwilling to continue their journey.
At this moment, Yang Yi, who was preoccupied, said to the exiled prisoners, "Let's hurry on our way while the sun is still low."
We'll reach Fengtian Town after walking another three miles.
Once you arrive, you will be given travel permits and allowed to purchase some daily necessities in town and rest for half a day before continuing your journey in the afternoon.
Upon hearing this, the exiled convicts learned that they could enter the town of Toyota to make purchases.
The wealthy were all smiles.
Having no money left them at a loss.
For example, the Qin family, who are wealthy.
For example, the women and children of Su Degui's family after his death.
The escorting officer, Yang Yi, looked preoccupied and didn't care what these people were thinking.
He urged the exiled convicts to set off quickly.
"Get up, get up! Anyone who doesn't want to get up, I'll whip them..."
At this moment, Yang Yi looked depressed. Last night's operation had failed miserably. He was thinking about how to craft a message to send to the Emperor.
If the emperor were to learn of this, he would surely be furious.
My days ahead are going to be tough...
Yang Yi, who was already preoccupied with his own thoughts, felt even worse.
He glanced at the exiled prisoner.
Among the exiled prisoners, some whose feet were blistered and shriveled yesterday were now walking with difficulty, their pace slower than that of normal people.
Seeing these people, Yang Yi felt inexplicably irritated.
He untied the barbed whip from his waist, walked up to these people, and lashed out with it.
Suddenly, a scream rang out: Ah…
Yang Yi heard the exiled prisoners screaming, but he didn't care whether they were in pain or itchy.
He cursed at them, "I told you to hurry up, but you're dawdling. Do you think I'm too easy to talk to?"
Those who were beaten knew the truth perfectly well.
They were the kind of innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire.
Last night, those men in black tried to assassinate Ouyang Yuqing but failed; everyone witnessed it.
They were being dragged into this, so someone muttered a complaint: "If you're so capable, go find the real boss! Why are you taking your anger out on us nobody?"
