Zhang Wenyuan followed Shen Yong closely. At some point, Ji Yongjia caught up with him and followed Shen Yong side by side with him.
The two looked at each other and turned away silently.
Chen Yong, whom they once looked down upon, has now become their boss. It’s quite strange just to think about it.
Just assume that they were mistaken.
Not only did they misjudge Shen Yong, they also misjudged the women of the Shen family.
From the time they rode their horses in the morning till now, not a single one of these women had uttered a single whimper.
No one said they were tired and wanted to rest, and they kept following the main group closely.
He wouldn't believe it if he said the women in the Shen family didn't know any martial arts.
Someone who doesn't know any martial arts at all just practiced riding a horse at the entrance of the post station, and he can ride for so long without getting tired?
He was a frequent horse rider, and now his thighs were burning with pain. Moreover, he was quite good at martial arts, so riding was not easy for him.
In contrast, the women of the Shen family and Shen Yong were riding horses with ease.
He knew that his cousin had some fancy moves, but the eldest sister-in-law of the Shen family was known to everyone in the capital as a well-educated, dignified and virtuous woman.
If people in the capital saw Cheng Suihua riding a horse, they would probably be shocked.
Zhang Wenyuan sighed deeply.
The men and women of the Shen family hid their secrets very well, and everyone in the capital was deceived by them.
Emperor Tianwu really hit a wall this time.
Who knows how powerful the Shen family is, as they even cultivate women silently.
Ji Yongjia pursed his lips and followed Shen Yong, glancing at Zhang Wenyuan out of the corner of his eye.
In his heart, he didn't want to follow Chen Yong, because if he did, he would have to break up with his family.
Everything he has now was obtained by his family using a lot of resources.
Now that he has joined the rebels, there is no turning back.
The family will definitely expel him from the family.
As for whether the Ji family would be exterminated, he was not too worried about it.
More than a hundred palace guards followed Chen Yong and fled. If all of them were exterminated along with their entire clans, it would be no different from destroying the entire capital.
The most likely possibility is that each family will issue a document to expel these people from the family.
Just like the Shen family was charged with treason and treason, they would definitely be exterminated.
But does Emperor Tianwu dare?
The nine clans of the Shen family probably wiped out more than half of the people in the capital.
Emperor Tianwu did not dare to exterminate the nine clans of the Shen family, so he released the news in advance and asked the Shen clan to expel the Shen family first.
This is all routine operation. When the impact is very wide, the one with the least impact will be sacrificed.
Ji Yongjia took a deep breath and stared at the back of Shen Yong in front of him.
Let’s take a gamble.
Just think of him as having been expelled from the Ji family, and that he will be a mediocre person from now on.
Chen Yong's strength is unfathomable, there may come a day when...
Thinking of that possibility, Ji Yongjia's eyes flashed slightly.
By then, the Ji family's survival would depend on his reputation in front of Shen Yong...
.......
"What!? Can't leave the city yet?"
Ran Xiangyu looked at Aunt Zhang in surprise.
"What happened? Why are you not allowed to leave the city?"
She chased him so hard all the way, but she still couldn't catch up with Chen Yong.
I wanted to leave the city early in the morning, but was told that the city gate was closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
How could she catch up with Chen Yong after such a delay?
Ran Xiangyu rubbed her hands together anxiously, feeling very anxious.
Aunt Zhang wiped the sweat from her forehead and pursed her dry lips.
"I heard that the bank in the city was robbed, so the whole city was sealed off."
"For now, we can only wait. No one can get out."
"Miss, we don't have much money left, so we can just wait for the convoy behind us."
"When the caravan catches up, I'll sell the bed and get some money to support myself."
The horses need to eat grass, and they also need to eat and drink.
The little belongings in the carriage had long been used up.
The most valuable items were loaded into the two carriages earlier, but unfortunately they are all gone.
Fortunately, there was no accident with the third carriage, so they still had a carriage to ride in.
It’s a pity that the carriage was filled with quilts, clothes and the like, which couldn’t be sold for a good price.
The young lady's clothes are still worth some money, but after all, they have been worn and cannot be sold at a high price.
Only three sets of clothes for the eldest daughter were left in the carriage, and all the rest were sold.
The total amount sold was fifty-five taels of silver.
Staying in an inn doesn't cost much money, the key is food and drink. A simple meal costs three or five taels of silver.
If it doesn't rain today, food will only get more expensive in the future.
Filling five water bags with water would cost two taels of silver, and fifty-five taels of silver was simply not enough.
Ran Xiangyu frowned.
"Wasn't the convoy unable to enter the city?"
The city gates were blocked, so they couldn't get out and the convoy naturally couldn't get in.
"There's nothing we can do. We can only wait." Nanny Zhang looked at Ran Xiangyu and said helplessly.
The key is that they ran so fast that the convoy hasn't caught up yet.
She just couldn't understand why the eldest lady was running in such a hurry that she didn't even wait for the convoy.
All their current wealth depends on those dozens of carts.
I can't go to my uncle's house empty-handed.
Sell all the things on the cart in Menglan City, and keep some money in your hand so that you can be more confident when the time comes.
It’s a pity that all the pawnshops in Menglan City are closed, otherwise they could have exchanged their belongings for a lot more silver.
“Hey~”
Ran Xiangyu sighed heavily and sat down on the chair.
