Yang Yi was irritable and cursing, so he didn't hear what the other person was saying.
But he felt that this person couldn't say anything nice either.
So he yelled, "What did you say? Say it again!"
The exiled prisoner who had been complaining quietly heard Yang Yi yell at him.
He jumped in fright and quickly replied, "No... I didn't say anything, just that we should hurry up and get there so we could rest sooner."
Yang Yi heard the exiled prisoner speak.
His eyes darted around, and he seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't pursue the matter further and urged the person to walk forward quickly.
Logically speaking, a normal person could walk three miles in about twenty minutes if they walked briskly.
However, these exiled prisoners moved slowly, and it took them more than forty minutes to reach the outside of the city wall of Fengtian Town.
Shen Yingying and Ouyang Yuqing's luxury carriage stopped at the gate of Fengtian Town.
The two of them then got off the carriage.
Because the two women were still exiled prisoners, they had to wait for Yang Yi and his group to exchange travel documents with the soldiers of Fengtian Town.
Ouyang Yuqing and Shen Yingying got off the carriage and waited for a while before the entire exile procession finally arrived at the city gate.
Yang Yi had a conversation with the guards at the city gate.
The guard at the city gate glanced at the exiled prisoners and said irritably, "Go in, all of you. Once inside, behave yourselves."
When the city gate guard saw Ouyang Yuqing, he respectfully waved his hand and said, "Please..."
Ouyang Yuqing recognized the soldiers' goodwill and nodded slightly before leading Shen Yingying into Fengtian Town.
Because of its proximity to the imperial city and convenient transportation, Fengtian Town is quite prosperous.
As soon as Shen Yingying entered the town, she saw a constant stream of pedestrians hurrying back and forth.
Some vendors set up small snacks or miscellaneous items on the roadside and called out their wares.
Sticky rice cakes...
Delicious sticky rice cakes, tasty and affordable, come and try them!
"Selling candied hawthorns..."
Buy some skewers for your kids to try...
Delicious, inexpensive, and economical...
The vendors were all enthusiastically hawking their products.
Shen Yingying's mouth watered at the mention of delicious food.
Perhaps it's because they've survived in the apocalypse for so long that they've become particularly focused on food.
Seeing his wife's drooling expression, Ouyang Yuqing chuckled and covered his mouth.
Then I took her hand and led her to the candied hawthorn stall to buy some candied hawthorns.
"Boss, how much are the candied hawthorns?"
When the vendor selling candied hawthorns saw someone buying them, he said to Ouyang Yuqing, "Small ones are two coins each, large ones are five coins each."
Upon hearing the price, Ouyang Yuqing said to the vendor, "Give me two large ones."
Okay, sir.
The candied hawthorn vendor wrapped up two large candied hawthorns and handed them to Ouyang Yuqing, saying, "Five coins, thank you."
Ouyang Yuqing was about to take out his money when he suddenly felt awkward.
Is the face value of the silver note my wife gave me a bit too high? How am I supposed to give her copper coins instead?
Shen Yingying noticed that Ouyang Yuqing had no copper coins.
She pretended to reach into her sleeve, but actually took out five coins from her storage space and handed them to the candied hawthorn vendor.
"Here, this is five coins, take it."
The vendor accepted the five copper coins with a smile.
Ouyang Yuqing looked at Shen Yingying awkwardly, just about to say something.
Then Xiao Tao, who had just arrived, called out to him.
Xiao Tao was holding a purse in her hand.
As she handed it to Ouyang Yuqing, she said to him, "Master, this is a small purse that the steward prepared for you before you left. The steward packed ten of these purses, so please feel free to use them."
Upon hearing Xiao Tao's words, Ouyang Yuqing accepted the purse, thinking to himself: Steward Feng has served me for so many years, it hasn't been in vain...
At this moment, Yang Yi, who had just entered the town, saw Ouyang Yuqing leading his wife to buy things from the vendors. He deliberately shouted loudly to the exile team: "Hurry up, the travel permits haven't been processed yet. Once they are, you can mobilize manpower to buy supplies."
