Leng Yue said, "What a pity! I wasted a bomb."
Huo Jingxuan comforted her, "This is not bad. Let the eldest prince and the crown prince fight. We can relax a little. Otherwise, when they have time, they will always find trouble for us."
At this time, Wang Tengfei shouted to stop. He ran so far in one breath that he almost vomited.
Among the exiled prisoners, there were both old and young, and they were so tired that they were out of breath, and they didn't want to get up whether they were lying down or sitting.
The officers were worried when they saw the people collapsed on the ground. They hoped that they would not all die just as they set out, as that would be difficult for them to explain. Even if they were to die, they had to die in the second half of the journey.
Hu Chong discussed with Wang Tengfei and ordered them to bury the pot and cook. They could also take the opportunity to make some money. These were all rules formed invisibly.
Don't let the little money you have hidden with great effort be lost again.
When everyone heard that it was time to eat, they suddenly became thirstier and hungrier, and stared at the officials as they carried two large black pots down from the supply truck.
Cook porridge in one pot and steam meat buns in another.
Everyone felt relieved when they saw these. Although they couldn’t compare with what they usually ate, they were all exiled, so they wouldn’t be picky.
Now it’s enough to fill my stomach and save my life first. I can think about the rest slowly once I get there.
After that, they just waited to eat the ready-made food. Some people couldn't wait any longer and started eating the snacks and dried meat.
And looking at his attitude, he didn't think about it at all. He just ate the same way he usually does, without even thinking about what to do on the long road ahead.
"What a young man who is ignorant of the sufferings of the world! Leng Yue looked at them and shook her head. I guess there will be something exciting to watch soon!
They were also cooking over here. The roast chicken, meat buns and pancakes were still hot because they were placed in the space, so now they just had to make a simple egg soup.
Huo Jingxuan asked Leng Yue to take out half a bag of rice, a tray of buns and a small pot from the space. The rice was divided into three portions and distributed to the three families who were exiled together.
The three families were the Qi family, the Liu family, and the Sun family. They all had good relations with the Huo family. This time, they were implicated because they helped to plead for mercy.
In fact, there was another reason. The dog emperor wanted to completely cut off Huo Jingxuan's retreat and was afraid that someone in the capital would help him secretly.
An Yi took the things and went with Huo Jingxuan to the heads of the three families. He simply said hello, "Uncle Qi, Uncle Liu, Uncle Sun, hold on a little longer. We will be fine when we arrive at the post station in the evening. My people are waiting there. Everything has been arranged."
The three families were not polite. They took the food and told their daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law to cook porridge. "Thank you, nephew. I'll trouble you to take care of me in the future."
“It’s all as I should!”
As soon as Huo Jingxuan left, Qi Yihan, the second son of the Qi family, came over in a nonchalant manner and kicked the rice bag that Huo Jingxuan had brought over.
"Dad, we have been hurt so badly by him, and you only give us such a small thing to send away the beggar?"
The angry old man Qi slapped Qi Yihan in the face and said, "If you can't speak, just shut up. If you think it's too little, don't eat it."
Qi Yihan covered his right face that was slapped, but still said stubbornly, "If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it. The porridge and meat buns over there will be ready soon. Who would want to eat the rubbish he sent?"
Old Man Qi was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and pointed his finger at Qi Yihan's forehead, "You rebellious son, is that a chamber pot on your shoulders? Do you really think that the rice in the pot is for you to eat? Then just wait."
After saying this, he walked away in a hurry, and told his wife, "When the porridge is ready, don't serve it to the second son. He doesn't like such a small thing."
After listening to her husband's words and thinking that her second son was indeed too ignorant, Feng nodded and agreed.
Old Man Liu and Old Man Sun wanted to persuade him, but were interrupted by Old Man Qi, "You two don't need to persuade him anymore. If the second son doesn't grow up, he will suffer a great loss in the future. By then, none of us can protect him."
Since the father has said so, the two of you will stop trying to persuade him.
Over there, the official knocked on the edge of the pot with a spoon and shouted, "Dinner is ready, line up to get your meal."
Those who were originally sitting on the ground to rest suddenly became motivated and got up to line up for meals.
The most active and fastest runners among them were Liu's two fat sons, Huo Dabao and Huo Erbao. They had been waiting not far from the pot, waiting for the signal to eat.
However, they did not get the meat buns and hot porridge that they had been longing for. Instead, they only got a hard steamed bun the size of half a palm and a bowl of cold water.
These people usually live a life of luxury, eating plenty of meat and fish. How could they have ever eaten this kind of stuff?
Huo Dabao and Huo Erbao were so angry that they poured the water and threw away the steamed corn bread.
He was still shouting, "Is this for human consumption? My dog won't eat this stuff.
Where are the porridge and meat buns?
Why did you secretly save it and not give it to us to eat?"
Those who didn't get any food also started to make a fuss, especially Qi Yihan who had the loudest voice.
The officers have been on duty for such a long time that they have encountered all kinds of troublemakers, but this is the first time they have seen someone causing trouble at the very first meal.
He pulled out a whip from his waist and whipped the three troublemakers, Huo Dabao, Huo Erbao and Qi Yihan.
"You've been exiled, but you still can't put yourself in the right place. You still think you're the original young master. You dare to smash my bowl? I've spoiled you!"
Originally, when Liu and Feng saw their sons being beaten, they immediately wanted to rush over to save them, but were stopped by their own husbands.
Especially when old man Qi said, "Go ahead. If you go, you will be beaten with him, and the beating for the second son will be in vain. A loving mother often spoils her son!"
Feng could only turn around, try not to look, and shed tears silently, hoping that the second child would grow up quickly, otherwise she didn't know how much suffering he would have to endure along the way!
The three people whipped by the official had seven or eight marks on their bodies. The official tied the whip around their waists and said, "Since you three don't like this meal, then don't eat it. But you have to compensate me for my bowl. Ten taels of silver per person. Don't even think about running away."
After hearing this, Liu and Feng hurriedly took out a gold leaf from the corner of their clothes to pay for the bowl and get their son back.
When Qi Yihan and Feng came back, they were still indignant, "You have the nerve to ask me for ten taels of silver for just that broken bowl. This is really lawless."
Feng was so angry that she pinched the soft flesh on his waist and said, "Don't you see what time it is now? It's still someone else's decision. Don't blame your father for saying that your head is a chamber pot. I think your head is full of water."
