Chapter 9: Removing the Shackles
I have to say that Li Laosan is a man of action.
After deciding to hide, he decisively removed the shackles from the men in the team.
"I removed your shackles to save your lives! Don't be so ungrateful as to think of escaping. Think about your families. If you run away, they'll be finished!"
Li Laosan shouted loudly while calling out to several tall prisoners to supervise them. "You guys should supervise each other. If anyone is missing, it will be your responsibility!"
Among those who were called out, there happened to be Shen Xiao and Chen Er.
Shen Qingqian clearly saw that Chen Er's face was not looking good, because this way Shen Xiao could stare at Chen Er openly.
The team quickly set off, and this time the Shen family walked in the middle of the team.
At the end of the team where no one was paying attention, Sheng Ze observed the nearby terrain and shook his head secretly. This place was not suitable for hiding at all.
"Master, why don't we leave now?" Ling Yun said in an anxious tone.
Whether the master is found by King Zhao or the one sitting on the dragon throne, it is definitely not a good thing.
Sheng Ze shook his head, "Not yet. Only by following them can we reach northern Hubei smoothly."
No one must know that he is not dead yet, otherwise the opportunity created for him by those old ministers at the cost of their lives would be wasted.
He would only be safe if he went to northern Hubei, and this exile team could provide him with a good cover.
"But if we don't leave now, what if..." we are discovered by King Zhao?
Ling Yun was really anxious. There were obstacles ahead, pursuers behind, and now he was being attacked by fleeing mobs. He didn't understand how his master could remain so calm.
Sheng Ze pulled the corner of his lips slightly, with a faint smile on his face, "Who do you think would have thought that I was here?"
I'm afraid that the person sitting on the throne would never have thought that he would be in this exile team.
Shengze and Lingyun sneaked into this exile team because no one could have imagined that there would be someone who dared to hide in the exile team.
Of course, the shackles on the two of them were specially made. They looked no different from the real ones, but actually weighed only a few pounds. The handcuffs and shackles were also specially made that could be opened with a pull.
Ling Yun felt temporarily relieved when he heard this, but he still couldn't relax completely. He just became more vigilant.
Shen Qingqian had the same concerns as Sheng Ze.
They are now in Linzhou, a vast plain.
The hiding place chosen by Li Laosan was a small valley. It was really a very small valley. It was not easy to hide more than 200 people there.
Shen Qingqian could see it, and naturally Shen Xiao and the others could see it as well.
As soon as Li Laosan and his group arrived at the small valley, he regretted his decision and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead. What could he do? This place couldn't hold so many people!
"Sir, I know a way to go around to northern Hubei."
Just now, a small number of refugees did not follow the others, but suddenly changed their minds and followed the exile team. The one who spoke at this time was a thin man among them, named Jiang Goudan.
"You know, why don't you just say it?" Li Laosan roared.
Jiang Goudan clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "It's no problem for me to lead everyone to escape, but that place is five miles away, and only my father and I have been there before, so we know the way, but..."
"If you have something the fuck to say, hurry up and say it! Don't bother me." Li Laosan interrupted him impatiently.
Jiang Goudan said quickly, "Sir, please give me and my family of five some food for the sake of leading us along the way."
Only then did Li Laosan take a closer look at the man. It turned out that this family had not had time to bring food with them when they fled. No wonder they had to follow their exile team.
