Chapter 268: Departure
In the end, Yu Qi was dragged to the prison, and three days later, he was beheaded to serve as a warning to others.
Seeing this, the other people in Yu Mansion wanted to push all the crimes onto Yu Qi, hoping to clear themselves of all charges. However, how could Lin Baoer let them do so? She directly let Li Decai handle the matter himself and solved this big cancer.
At this point, the turmoil in Huangsha City subsided.
Because Lin Baoer's identity as a princess was exposed, Li Decai, in order to please her, specifically begged her to live in the county magistrate's mansion. On the surface, he said that the inn was too simple and would make the princess uncomfortable, but in fact, he just wanted to ask Lin Baoer for more for his own matter, hoping that she would show mercy.
After all his property was confiscated, he has become much more honest and dutiful. He lives in harmony with his wife. Except that his food and clothing are much more shabby than before, he is even more honest as an official, for fear of being caught by others if he makes any mistake.
In this way, Lin Baoer did not refuse and moved in directly.
In this way, she doesn't have to pay for staying in the inn, so why not?
In three days, Lin Mobai found all the people needed for the caravan, and he sent many of his confidants to serve as the escorts for this time, just to protect Lin Baoer.
There are eleven people in total on this trip. In addition to Lin Baoer and his friends, there are four soldiers sent by Lin Mobai, the other two are hardworking men who carry the luggage, and there is a traveling chef who is good at cooking.
Originally, Lin Baoer wanted to simplify the trip, after all, it would be difficult to travel with so many people, but in the end, Lin Mobai and Lin Zhishen sternly rejected her idea, so her idea had to come to an end.
Before the departure, it was also the last day that Lin Mobai stayed in Huangsha City.
A group of eleven people stood outside the city gate, facing Lin Mobai and his group.
"Baoer, have a safe journey." After a long silence, Lin Mobai only said this, his eyes full of reluctance and forbearance.
Seeing her brother's uneasiness, Lin Baoer deliberately showed a playful smile, winked at her, and smiled brightly with her hands behind her back, "Second brother~ You still don't believe in my ability? I will bring some special products from Jiangguo back to you and your sisters-in-law, as well as my parents!"
"Don't worry!"
Lin Mobai's eyebrows softened and nodded, "Okay."
On the other side, Yu Sheng and Yu Huai were also very reluctant to leave. Lin Baoer did not let Yu Sheng go in vain this trip. She gave him a lot of rewards and asked Li Decai to take care of Yu Huai. Money is not a problem. This made Yu Sheng kneel on the ground with a thud, saying that he would repay her no matter if he worked as a cow or a horse, and he would definitely lead them out of the desert safely this time.
He had this intention, and Lin Baoer was naturally very pleased.
After saying goodbye, they walked slowly in the opposite direction of Huangsha City.
Just like that, after crossing the border with the pass token, they came to the cliff ridge closest to the desert.
They had been walking for a whole day.
The other side of the cliff ridge was the desert, and there was only a broken wooden bridge across the cliff ridge, and the safety level was very worrying.
"Can this really be crossed?" Lin Baoer pulled the swaying rope of the wooden bridge. The swaying wooden bridge was like her wavering heart, trembling and making her doubtful.
Lin Zhishen looked at it carefully and hesitated, "When I passed by here before, this wooden bridge was very solid. How come it has become like this in such a short time?"
Obviously, he also doubted the stability of this dilapidated wooden bridge.
At this time, Uncle Qiao put down his luggage, wiped his sweat and said, "Maybe it's because of the strong wind. I remember hearing someone mention it not long ago. Half a month ago, there was a strong wind here on the cliff ridge. It was so powerful that it blew down a lot of rubble on both sides of the cliff. I'm afraid the bridge was also damaged at that time."
This Uncle Qiao is one of the poor husbands. The other poor husband Jian Wanshun is a person Lin Mobai personally found. He is in his prime, honest and dutiful. He has wives and children at home. He does this business to make a living. Lin Mobai gives a lot of rewards, enough for their wives and children to live for a few years and have some left over. His
character is also good, he can endure hardships, and he even knows some simple boxing and kicking skills.
After all, if you don't know how to do this, you will be buried in that place where people are eaten without leaving bones.
"What should I do?" Lin Baoer stepped on it tentatively, "I don't know if it is firm."
But before she stepped on it, her right arm was grabbed by a strong hand, and a hand blocked her in front.
"Baoer."
"Miss, no."
The one who pulled her was Lin Zhishen, and the one who blocked her was the soldier sent by Lin Mobai to protect her. His name was Xu. These four soldiers seemed to be led by him. Lin Baoer also learned from his words that he was promoted by Lin Mobai himself, and he has been with Lin Mobai for four years and is loyal.
This time Lin Mobai sent him to protect her, and he didn't complain at all. He even felt that this was because Lin Mobai trusted him, and he was determined to send Lin Baoer to Jiangguo.
He also knew Lin Baoer's identity, but because he was outside, he was afraid of being heard and used by someone with ulterior motives, so he kept calling her.
Si Xu stopped Lin Baoer and said without hesitation: "Let me go and check it out first."
Without waiting for Lin Baoer to answer, he stepped on it steadily with one foot, fearless and unmoving.
He also tried to shake it on it, and walked around a few times. After a while, he considered: "It shouldn't be a problem to go through it, if there is no accident."
No one knows whether there will be an accident, and it may be good news if he can walk through it without any doubt.
Yu Sheng also emerged from the bushes on one side, with weeds all over his head. "I just checked, and the other road also seemed to have been ravaged by the strong wind. The original path was blocked by bushes, but if you look carefully, you can still go there. But if you take a detour, it will probably take five times longer." The
reason why Cliff Ridge is called Cliff Ridge is because there are cliffs all around. If you want to go to the other side, you can only cross the only wooden bridge in the middle. If you want to take a detour, you have to walk from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the cliff and then find a way to go there.
The hassle is much more troublesome than taking the wooden bridge directly. Moreover, it is late now. If you take a detour, you may encounter some strange beasts. The danger is unknown.
Everyone is waiting for Lin Baoer to make a decision.
After a brief thought, Lin Baoer made a decision, "Let's take the wooden bridge."
Others had no objection.
Si Xu took out a very strong long rope from his luggage, which was estimated to be about eight meters long, "Tie this around everyone, it will be more stable."
The other side is tied to a stable tree or rock on the edge of the cliff, so that even if something happens, there is still a way to save yourself.
