The leading officer raised his thick eyelids to take in the tragic scene of the Gu family and said hypocritically, "Stop! The Emperor has mercifully sentenced the Gu family to exile."
It would have been better if the official hadn't said anything, but after he said such a false statement, the common people nearby even cursed him with all kinds of unpleasant words.
The coffin lid of the Gu family's ancestor was shaking violently.
The children in the team were frightened and burst into tears.
Dabao and Erbao were also very scared. The two brothers hugged Su Qi's neck and cried breathlessly.
Gu Beiheng tightly protected Su Qi and the two children by his side, "Qiqi, lower your head. Hide under the shackles."
Su Qi's heart was filled with hatred, and she also made a note of the man in the Golden Palace. When had I ever suffered such humiliation before, and had to hide under the shackles?
Dog Emperor, wait for me to lie dormant for a while.
When you have the strength, I will change the name of your Dashun Dynasty.
The people didn't stop until they reached the outside of the city.
The old general was old and frail, and after being beaten with a stick, he couldn't walk at all. He had no choice but to lie on the wheelbarrow, which was pushed by Gu Beiyao.
General Gu's head and body were covered in filth, and several clods of earth were thrown on his back. It seemed some wicked person had splashed him with foot washing water or something else, and the sour smell was pungent.
The leading official, Old Huangtou, rode on his horse and watched everything slowly.
He snorted coldly:
"Things change. Mr. Gu, when you usually scold others, you never thought of today's scene."
On weekdays, Mr. Gu travels around the world with his sharp tongue.
I have offended many people.
Old Master Gu lay motionless on the small unicycle. If it weren't for the fact that his body was still moving up and down, one would have thought he had died of anger.
Su Qi crawled out from under Gu Beiheng's shackles.
He shook Dabao and Erbao, "Don't cry, Dabao and Erbao. Don't be afraid, your parents are with you."
The two little guys were crying so hard that their tears and snot were running, and they looked at Gu Beiheng and Su Qi with sobs.
I know in my heart that this is not a game of hide-and-seek, where you are the soldier and I am the thief.
Dabao lay on Su Qi's shoulder and whispered in her ear:
"Mom, I'm scared."
After hearing what Dabao said, Erbao also bit his ear.
"Mom, will you abandon us?"
Su Qi's heart softened into a puddle of water.
Such a cute and pitiful human cub.
"Don't be afraid, mom is always with you." Su Qi comforted softly.
Dabao and Erbao each kissed Su Qi on the face, and their snot and tears formed long silk threads.
How disgusting! Su Qi rolled her eyes in her heart.
He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the two little guys clean. Gu Beiheng took two steps to catch up and bent down to show his sleeves to Su Qi.
Su Qi looked at him in confusion.
"I have a handkerchief in my sleeve. Wipe your face with it. When we get to the town ahead, carry Dabao on my back."
Su Qi reached out and groped Gu Beiheng's sleeves, but with his arms in shackles, it was difficult to get the handkerchief.
Su Qi took a long time to take it out and wiped the silk threads left on Dabao and Erbao's faces, leaving a faint cool fragrance.
The group walked dejectedly for about ten kilometers and arrived at a place called Taiping Town. Before entering the town, they found an open space outside Taiping Town to rest.
"Rest for a quarter of an hour. We'll set off in a quarter of an hour." Old Huang, riding his horse, looked majestically at the hundreds of people dragging their feet. "Don't make trouble, otherwise your lives will depend on how many people arrive in Jinyang Prefecture."
The Gu family members who were walking were unable to cause trouble at this moment.
I don't even have the strength to speak.
On ordinary days, officials, noble ladies, young masters and young ladies would travel in carriages and sedan chairs, and even in their own courtyards, they would use sedan chairs to go to distant places.
After walking more than ten kilometers like a dog, I just want to lie on the ground and rest.
Gu Wushen and Gu Wujiang surrounded the old man and the old lady.
The others were tied up with ropes and could only rest where they were...
The eyes of several families from the side branches were filled with hatred when they looked at the general's mansion, and they just wanted to bite this family a few times.
There is no longer the usual flattering face.
Su Qi often hiked in his previous life, but his original body, which never left the house, couldn't bear it.
Both feet just felt sore and swollen.
Gu Beihe came over and took over Dabao and Erbao. The little girl's face turned pale as she left, but she still looked at Su Qi distressedly, "Sister-in-law, let me carry Dabao."
"Your second brother will carry it later."
Su Qi stretched her body and sat down on the open space to rub her feet.
Gu Beihe looked around.
A little embarrassed to ask:
"Second sister-in-law, will this look bad?"
Su Qi doesn't care about these things. When people are in trouble, they just want to survive. Why bother with these things?
"Beihe, hurry up and rest in the most comfortable position. It's only a quarter of an hour."
Gu Beihe was so scared that she sat down and rubbed her feet.
The concubines nearby also followed suit and sat down, rubbing Su Qi's feet. Where was the demeanor of the young ladies in the Gu Mansion?
Fang Xiaoya brought Gu Beihan's concubine and surrounded the eldest lady Zhang Yunyu. Seeing Su Qi and others sitting down without caring about their image, she also had some ideas.
Zhang Yunyu snorted coldly:
"It's totally unbecoming. What daughter-in-law doesn't serve her mother-in-law? They only care about their own pleasures. This is truly the decline of social morality."
Gu Beiheng took off the shackles and walked over to chat with Old Huang for a few words.
Old Huang was much more polite to Gu Beiheng and gave him an extra steamed bread when distributing food.
Gu Beiheng came back with five steamed buns, but did not go to his parents first.
He knew that Concubine Liu's heart was filled with his father and mistress. He would go there to hear her nagging about being filial to the First Lady.
Came directly to Su Qi.
"Beihe, the rest of you go get the steamed bread."
"Okay." Gu Beihe got up and went to line up with Gu Beiting and Gu Beijing to get the steamed buns.
"Qiqi, take the water bag. First, take a bite of the steamed bread, then drink some water and hold it in your mouth until it softens."
Su Qi took the water bag, gulped down a few sips, and set it aside. She thought of the various water bottles in her space. She thought, "I'll come back to it when we get to our resting place tonight. It's really not convenient right now."
Su Qi took out a handkerchief from her arms, and the two brothers Dabao and Erbao widened their eyes.
They knew that their mother was like a fairy and always had delicious cakes in her handkerchief.
This time, Su Qi hid red bean paste buns in her handkerchief. She gave one to Dabao and Erbao, ate one herself, and gave the other to Gu Beiheng.
Gu Beiheng shook his head. He naturally gave the fine grains he had finally gotten to Su Qi Niang San. He wrapped the red bean paste bun in a handkerchief and stuffed it directly into Su Qi's arms.
Su Qi was confused. "Brother, what are you doing?"
Gu Beiheng realized what he had done when he touched something different. He quickly pulled his hand back and turned his head to bite the steamed bread in his hand.
Even the bronzed skin from years of marching and fighting could not hide the redness at this moment.
"Well, well. You save it for you and the two children." Gu Beiheng explained awkwardly, pausing before adding, "Qiqi, you don't need to tolerate others along the way. Just take care of yourself and the children."
In the dream Gu Beiheng had, there was only a fragment of the dilapidated temple. That fragment was enough to chill him to the bone. He looked at the calm little woman and her two somewhat timid sons in front of him, and his only thought was to protect them.
Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be nice to be able to find an ally on the road to exile. If I can't find an ally, I won't let myself down.
The family of four drank the water from the water bag. Su Qi took out a few pieces of dried meat from Dabao's cloth bag and handed them to Gu Beiheng. "You should eat too. We can't fall down. Otherwise, we won't be able to protect the child."
Gu Beiheng held the dried meat in his hand, thinking of the gold and silver leaves he had hidden away. He said nothing more and just stuffed the dried meat into his mouth silently.
"Time's up, hurry up and get on with your journey."
Old Huang struck the bronze gong he carried with him, clasped his hands together, and saluted in the direction of the capital: "The current emperor is merciful and took pity on Old Master Gu for following the late emperor in his battles. He spared your lives. You must always be grateful for the emperor's grace."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The people of the Gu family kowtowed tremblingly to express their gratitude.
Su Qi thought to herself: ...Shit. Shit emperor, always trying to make his presence felt.
