Ling Jiheng caught a glimpse of Chi Xingyue out of the corner of his eye, nodded calmly, and then continued to watch the officers take inventory.
It was not until a quarter of an hour later that a group of people exclaimed that this wealthy family in Jiangnan was too rich.
Not to mention the fist-sized jadeite and quail egg-sized South China Sea pearls, there are hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and silver notes alone. Is this something that ordinary people like them dare to dream of?
Those bandits have such a big appetite!
After verifying everything was correct, Gao Hongbin asked the yamen runners from Yingtian Prefecture to help carry the box. Ling Jiheng bowed and said goodbye: "Master Gao, see you again if we're lucky!"
Gao Hongbin nodded: "I wish you a safe journey!"
The two groups separated, but Ling Jiheng did not relax at all.
After whispering a few words to the Jiangning Prefecture yamen runners, they drove the exiles towards the door, completely ignoring their requests to stop and make some purchases.
Even whispered a reminder: "Go!"
I’m afraid I won’t be able to leave for a while!
The exiles were startled and quickened their pace.
Thanks to the training he had gained from pushing the cart along the way, he reached the city gate in just fifteen minutes.
Without hesitation, he went straight out of the city and ran two or three miles. He only breathed a sigh of relief after meeting up with his younger generation.
Meanwhile, a notice from the government office was delivered to the city gate, stating that a fugitive had entered the city and that strict identification checks were required for anyone entering or leaving.
Wei Zhongheng was tricked by Ling Jiheng, but he didn't want to give up.
Since he is so capable, he should stay in the Yingtian Prefecture prison and wait for execution in the autumn.
All we can say is that the exiled prisoners anticipated Wei Zhongheng's decision and evacuated in time, so they were not caught.
Five minutes after Ling Jiheng and the others left the city, Chi Xingyue also left this troubled place.
But as soon as they left the city gate, Ling Yi and Hong Yu hid in the dark.
Chi Xingyue pulled the ox cart and walked slowly for a long time before he found the hiding place of Ling Jiheng and the others.
"Thank you for your hard work, madam!" Ling Jiheng reached out to take the reins and expressed his deep gratitude for Chi Xingyue's efforts.
Chi Xingyue smiled and shook his head, thinking it was no big deal.
The interaction between the two is simply enough to bore some people to death.
But most people's attention is on the ox cart.
Fortunately, there was a carriage and the door curtain was closed, so I was not penetrated by their burning gazes.
"Ling Er boy, you actually bought a car!"
Ling Jiheng nodded: "It's convenient for hauling things, and it can also be used as a rest stop during the exile."
Everyone was envious and regretted not being able to buy an ox cart for transportation in Yingtian Prefecture.
Although I don't have much money, I can still afford it if I scrape together some.
Seeing everyone's thoughts, Ling Jiheng reminded them, "There's a water shortage here, and we don't know what the situation is like in the north. If we rashly purchase livestock, they might die of thirst before they even reach Youzhou."
Everyone thought about it and looked at Chi Xingyue with complicated expressions for a few seconds.
It's unfortunate to have such a spendthrift woman.
If there is no clean water source on the road, this cow will probably be slaughtered and roasted.
They are familiar with the process, and maybe they can even get a bite or two at the end.
The group set off at daybreak, but found that none of the Ling family members were there.
I couldn't help but feel suspicious.
However, they didn't have to worry for long before the Ling family showed up.
They were all dressed up, not in a particularly fancy way, but much more decently than them.
Many people began to feel sour, but the Jiangning Prefecture yamen runners took the clothes prepared by the Ling family and changed them on the spot.
They dressed themselves up as bodyguards and analyzed the interests with several families who were unaware of the situation.
"Gao Hongbin has already arrived in Yingtian Prefecture. We probably can't hide what happened on the road.
What we need to do now is to change our appearance and rush to Youzhou as soon as possible to avoid being silenced by the Sixth Prince's men."
Everyone was startled and quickly packed their luggage and set off.
This time without the cart to hold them back, they moved very quickly.
Even Mr. and Mrs. Ling, whose ankles have not yet healed, can sit in the car.
That leisurely and contented look is really enviable!
Chi Xingyue also wanted to take a ride, but she wanted to upgrade her space more.
He was moving around in small steps, looking very happy on the outside, but he was extremely miserable on the inside.
"Why can't I level up by riding in a car? Why can't I level up by earning money? Why can't I level up by hanging out with villains?"
Even giving birth to a baby, she can do it!
Chi Xingyue asked four soul-searching questions in a row, but unfortunately the space ignored her completely.
On the electronic screen in the private room, there was no other explanation except the number jumping rapidly.
[Secondary Space Upgrade Progress 28%]
[Secondary Space Upgrade Progress 28%]
[Secondary Space Upgrade Progress 28%]
Ling Jiheng reminded everyone to cover their mouths and noses, and everyone upgraded their weaponry to using fine cotton cloth.
I'm quite happy that I don't have to endure those smelly hems of clothes anymore.
Of course, there are also some people who are dissatisfied with the Ling family's easy life and want to come and take a ride.
The old lady dismissed them all: "No place, no place. My four little ones have to take turns coming up to rest!"
She was not lying. Along the way, Ling Mingyue, Ling Minghao, Ling Weiwei and Shu Rui spent half of the time walking on the ground.
The hardships and sufferings they endure are no less than those of adults.
Now that I have the conditions, of course I have to take care of the younger generation.
What's more, she had checked and saw that the carriage was full of food, so she couldn't let anyone know and ask to borrow some food.
The man left cursing, but the old lady didn't care.
By evening, the group had already walked a long way.
He didn't even go directly north, for fear of being wiped out by the Sixth Prince's men.
The wildfire did not burn to Yingtian Prefecture, so the mountains here are still green.
Coupled with the heavy rain two days ago, it really solved the urgent problem.
Although the water source in the mountains has not been replenished, the plants have recovered and at first glance, they look quite fresh.
Ling Jiheng found a relatively secluded place to park the car and even used tools to clean up their traces.
The old man of the Wang family thought Ling Jiheng was too cautious, but Ling Jiheng knew that for the sake of his life, he had to be more cautious.
Everyone in the group started cooking and, except for the horse meat, this time they all made porridge.
The Ling family ate meat buns and drank porridge, and felt that their whole life became brighter.
I just don’t understand why Ling Jiheng and Chi Xingyue cover their faces even when eating. Don’t they feel uncomfortable?
Ling Jiheng took the opportunity to tell everyone about the plague. In a weather over 30 degrees Celsius, everyone broke out in cold sweats.
I didn't dare to bother covering my hands and face.
If they hadn't bought mosquito repellent kits, they would definitely have hung a few on their bodies!
Old Mrs. Ling took a handful of mugwort from the car, lit it, and spread the smoke around, and the small insects and the like disappeared.
At night, except for a few people on duty, everyone was fast asleep.
Ling Jiheng gently woke Chi Xingyue up, and the two of them tiptoed away from the Ling family and met Ling Yihongyu.
"Ling Yi, Hong Yu, the next task of following the car is left to you. You must ensure the safety of the Ling family!"
