Chapter 531 Xiao Hongyi's family is offline 1
Xiao Fei calmly signaled to the officers below to be on guard.
"Sixth Brother, it's noon. Let's all rest here, set up a stove and boil water for dinner."
"yes!"
Xiao Fei had prepared sufficient supplies, including two large trucks, and was also responsible for escorting the supplies. Xiao Hongyi's family, young and old, were all honest and did not suffer any physical pain.
The family had nothing on them, and Xiao Fei couldn't let them starve to death, so he distributed steamed buns and steamed bread to them at mealtimes along the way, and also provided hot water.
As for meat, it was impossible, and Xiao Hongyi's family could only look on with envy.
"Hey! Come quickly and boil some water to stew the pheasant."
Chen hurriedly took her youngest son to boil water. She had asked Xiao Fei for this job so that her youngest son would not go hungry or cold.
Zhuang Liyue had been pretending to be sick all the way, and now she was sitting under a tree with the help of Nanny Hua.
Aunt Hua found a pile of dry branches. Because her feet were wearing anklets, her movements were clumsy, but she was not slow. She lit the fire in less than half a minute.
Xiao Hongyi glanced at Chen Chao, who was still alive.
Chen Chaoren had lost a lot of weight and his face was pale, but his eyes were now shining. He glanced at the officials around him and wrote a word on the ground with his hand.
Xiao Chengqian and Chen Yun looked over at the same time.
I only saw the character "子".
Xiao Chengqian hurried forward and helped Xiao Hongyi, who was wearing bracelets and anklets, to his feet. "Dad, you'll feel better if you go to grandma's place and warm yourself by the fire."
"good."
Chen Yun hurried over and supported Xiao Hongyi's other arm.
"Madam, you have to hold on. I'll go borrow some ginger from the officials to make some ginger water for you."
Zhuang Liyue said in a weak voice, "If I can't borrow it, I won't force it. It's better for my old bones to die on the road than to go to the big sandy land."
"Old lady, don't talk nonsense. It's better to live a miserable life than to die."
Aunt Hua came to Xiao Fei and said, "Sir, my old lady is in such a bad condition. I am worried that she won't be able to make it to Dashadi. Could you please give her some ginger so that I can make some ginger soup for her?"
Xiao Fei looked at Zhuang Liyue who was leaning against the tree trunk in a daze. Her symptoms had not gotten worse or better during the journey. It was obvious that she was pretending.
"Alright, the weather is getting colder, and we need to keep warm. Everyone should drink a bowl of it every day to keep warm. If your masters die on the road, I will not be able to explain myself to them."
"Thank you, sir. Let me make the ginger soup."
"No need! We can cook it."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Nanny Hua glanced at Chen and her son. The three officers stared at the big pot, fearing that Chen would do something.
Aunt Hua gritted her teeth secretly. They were caught so suddenly that they were not prepared at all, otherwise they would have been knocked out with just a packet of medicine!
"Master, Madam, the officer said that everyone will be given a bowl of ginger soup later."
Zhuang Liyue opened her eyes and said weakly, "Sit down and warm yourself by the fire."
Zhuang Liyue stared at Xiao Fei in the distance and whispered, "Move at midnight, be careful not to get discovered."
Xiao Fei personally cooked a large pot of ginger soup. Their people drank a bowl first, and then they kindly sent it to Xiao Hongyi's family.
Xiao Hongyi was worried about being poisoned all the way here, so he didn't rush to drink it. He put it to his lips and blew gently.
Chen Chao knew some medical knowledge and could identify toxins. He sniffed it carefully, took a small sip to savor it, and then drank it in several big gulps.
Only Xiao Hongyi's family members dared to drink ginger soup.
Seeing that they had all drunk it, Xiao Fei couldn't help but curl his lips.
The powder given by the princess was indeed colorless, odorless and difficult to detect.
Even if you have the chance to escape, you won't have the strength to do so.
After the meal, Xiao Fei took a nap for a quarter of an hour, but no one came to rescue him. He immediately realized that he had to take action when it got dark.
Xiao Fei got into the carriage, took out the route map and looked at it carefully. He found that the best place to start was thirty miles outside the city. There was a large canyon there that could hide thousands of people.
If we leave now, we will arrive at Youshi.
Tsk, they are going to do it in the middle of the night.
Xiao Fei then organized his team and set off for Yicheng.
When Mu Jingxing's men in the dark saw Xiao Fei leading the team away, they hurriedly sent a message to Du Zhiyi's men.
Du Zhiyi had already arrived near Yicheng two days in advance and found some clues.
At this moment, he led his men to ambush forty miles away from the city, and there was another group of people ten miles ahead.
"General." Du Zhiyi's personal guard said, "The people in the Grand Canyon must be Xiao Hongyi's private soldiers. Why don't we capture them now?"
Du Zhiyi recalled the emperor's words, "We shouldn't wait until Xiao Hongyi and his family arrive to take action. If we act now, we'll alert the enemy. There's a high chance they'll be kidnapping someone else the moment we start. Has Pang Wei sent any news?"
"The suspicious individual among the soldiers defending Yicheng has been apprehended. He is waiting for a signal from us to lead his troops to support us."
"Okay, go and inform them that tonight, only success is allowed, no failure."
"yes!"
As soon as Song Mingen returned from his job, he was called to Xiao Yanxu's study. "Aye, has the subordinates sent back any news? Tomorrow is the seventh day, and the day after tomorrow is your birthday party."
Zhuang Liyue's family had no result, and he felt uneasy and worried that something might happen at the birthday party.
Song Mingen: "No news has been sent back yet. Even if they don't take action halfway, they will definitely die when they reach the Great Desert."
"I hope to receive good news tomorrow. Your father and mother want to give you a solid birthday party and don't want any accidents to happen."
"Don't worry, father. Nothing unexpected will happen."
After Song Mingen comforted Xiao Yanxu, he went to talk to Gu Yining. Half an incense stick of time passed before he had time to return to Phoenix Terrace.
"Wanwan, my father and mother have been holding me and talking for a long time. If I don't take the initiative to say goodbye, they won't let me go."
Jiang Yunwan smiled and said, "Father and Mother have known you for less than a month, so naturally they want to stick with you. Don't you want to spend more time with them?"
"Of course I do, but I have to come back to accompany you, otherwise you will be jealous."
"Haha..." Jiang Yunwan laughed, "I won't. You've been with me for more than ten years. Now you should spend more time with the elders. I won't compete with them for you. Anyway, you will come back obediently before going to bed."
Song Mingen raised his eyebrows, "That's right, eh, what is Sister Yu busy with today? Now that I'm back, she doesn't even come over."
"Today, she is sitting in the courtyard with Meng'er, Yun'er, Princess Qingyang, and Princess Anyang, drinking tea by the fire. They are all laughing and having fun. She is tired after playing all day and is resting now. You can see her tomorrow morning."
Song Mingen said, "I've noticed that since Xiao Hongyi's family was exiled from the city, Sister Yu has become much more relaxed than before."
"Of course, you might not know this at the yamen, but Du Zhihuan bit her tongue that day and died. The Du couple went to pick her up and brought the coffin with them. They didn't go so far as to send her to the Du family ancestral tomb. They found a barren hillside to bury her. It's said they returned just before the city gates were closed."
Song Mingen asked, "Are these two sad or upset?"
Jiang Yunwan shook her head. "Bai Lan, Chun Hua and the others didn't notice. Even if they were unhappy, they wouldn't show it on their faces. It's just that Su Beiqing caught a cold that day and fell ill."
Song Mingen hurriedly asked, "Did Sister Yu show it to you?"
"No, the Du family's doctor diagnosed him and said he had been lying in bed for three days."
"Does Sister Yu know?"
"Of course she knows. She was too embarrassed to ask Sister Yu to go back and see her. Ouch."
Jiang Yunwan suddenly covered her stomach.
Song Mingen was terrified, "Ah, is she going to give birth?"
"No way! My son is tossing and turning violently. Help me lie down..."
At the hour of Xu, Song Yu woke up.
Bai Lan hurriedly brought the midnight snack over, "Miss, are you hungry? Come and try it."
