Chapter 148 A group of nearly sixty disaster victims
When they all safely passed the official road on the cliff, not only Xiao Yi and his team felt relieved, but even Shu Mingyuan and his group of officers breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally he's here. I was so worried that I couldn't even breathe."
"Yes, did you notice that just now? Prince Xiao and his men were also on high alert when they walked that road. I boldly guess that there must be something going on."
Shu Mingyuan unscrewed the flat kettle, tilted his head back and took a big gulp of water. His nervous heart finally settled down. He warned his men who were still talking, "Alright, alright, shut up. Is this something you can talk about? Do you think your life is too long?"
The men under him were afraid to say anything. Wasn't it because the atmosphere just now was too tense? This journey to exile was a thrilling one.
Just this escort trip would be enough for them to brag about to their colleagues for years after they return.
Chen Xinhou's feet were still unable to walk, so the servants took turns carrying him. From the angle he lay, he could observe the secret expressions of many people.
For example, when Liu Hongcai and his family were passing the cliff, they did not have too many concerns, because they were not worried that someone would suddenly rush down from the cliff and shoot them.
On the contrary, the Shen family, some of the servants had strange expressions, as if they were nervous, or expecting something.
On Prince Xiao's side, although the guards were all on high alert, they were not panicked at all. They even had some spare energy to hunt a few wild rabbits for Princess Xiao to satisfy her appetite.
"It seems that Su Rongyan and the others don't know that the dog emperor has arranged people to assassinate us along the way. Look at how relaxed the coachman is. He doesn't seem nervous at all." Su Wanyan said, sitting by the window and looking at Su Rongyan's carriage following behind them.
Ji Xiaohan "woke up", and there was no need to lift the car window curtains to peek anymore. Su Wanyan leisurely observed the situation over at Su Rongyan's end.
Ji Xiaohan held the little princess lightly with his hands, fearing that she would get excited and half of her body would hang out. "They just followed us, they don't dare to take action at this time."
Su Wanyan shook her head in annoyance. "They're going to have to take action sooner or later. Do they really think that Su Rongyan, that green tea girl, can help them get rid of us? I think she's just enough of a hindrance."
Ji Xiaohan looked at the little princess, who looked down upon Su Rongyan's cuteness in every way, with a smile on his lips, "Yes, Princess is right."
After walking a few more miles, they came to a low place at the foot of the mountain.
The weather gradually turned extremely cold, and some places suffered disasters of varying degrees. Near those towns that were not affected by the disaster, there were often victims of the disaster or refugees passing by, especially in the groves and rivers near the official roads.
Just as they reached a small river in a low-lying area, they saw a group of nearly sixty disaster victims gathered there. When they saw the slowly approaching exile team, especially when they saw the people from Prince Xiao's Mansion and several carriages that were obviously loaded with food, the eyes of these disaster victims lit up.
However, most of these disaster victims were once poor people who farmed or hunted in the countryside. If their hometown had not suffered a disaster, they might never have left the village in their entire lives. Some of them would never have dealt with government officials in their entire lives.
