"We're on the road, hurry up. Don't stand still, hurry up and hurry up. Anyone who delays and delays everyone's time will be whipped."

clap clap,

There was a continuous sound of whips.

The officers stood by the station, waving their whips, urging the prisoners to get on their way faster.

"Let's go, I'll push the cart."

Gu Yueyan was tied at the front of the ten-man team. The women and children were tied in front with both hands, and then strung together with a thick rope, like a string of grasshoppers. Women and children were weak and would not usually run away on the exile route. They were mainly afraid of falling behind if they walked slowly, so they tied them into a group of ten and dragged them along. If one of the ten people falls out, the remaining nine people will have to sit together.

Men wearing shackles usually inserted themselves into the ranks of their own women and children in twos and threes.

The three grown men, Su Chengyi, Su Guanjia, and Su San, were wearing heavy wooden shackles, bracelets and anklets, and could not push the cart. But in order to prevent the people in front of them from harming their own group of women and children, the three of them walked in front of the group.

But the situation of the three of them is worse than the last.

Su Chengyi had no skin on his body, and his face was so swollen that there was only a slit left for his eyes.

Su San seemed to be the best among the three, but in fact he was injured the most and was almost dragging his breath when walking.

Housekeeper Su was lame and couldn't walk fast because he was wearing heavy shackles. Among the three of them, he was now the strongest one.

The ten people were followed closely by Mrs. Su's donkey cart.

The Su family's queue was personally designed by Su Zhenbei. With a donkey cart at the back, people sitting on the donkey cart can observe the movements of the team in front at any time. If their family members get tired and fall behind, they can also change to the donkey cart in time to take a rest.

But right behind the Su family's donkey cart was Taifu Wang's family. Behind Taifu Wang's family are the remnants of the East Palace.

However, the third room of the Su family and other exiled prisoners were in front.

Behind the three families, the one who followed closely was the prisoner from Erbaizhao Prison.

[Brother, look at the formation of the team, you can tell it is the handiwork of that guy Gu Tai. That person is too shady. 】

In the donkey carriage, Sumi Bao and her eldest brother could talk to each other directly from the bottom of their hearts, which was very convenient.

[Don’t worry, they won’t touch our Su family until Xiangshan. 】

Su Zhenbei has been pretending to be comatose since he entered Shiliting. Because King Yan has always been protecting him, until now, no one has come to the donkey cart to look for his scum or examine his injuries.

Beside the Broken Bridge in Xiangshan Mountain, the bamboo fenced thatched cottages smell of medicinal fragrance.

Sumi Bao thought again about what her eldest brother asked her mother to pass on to Gu Tai. It is estimated that Gu Tai had already passed this sentence to the emperor.

The emperor wanted the Su Family Army's token, and Gu Tai wanted it too. The two of them are not going to kill the Su family now. But it will never make things easier for their Su family.

"I'll push the cart with the young lady."

Gu Yueyan is a smart person. From the beginning, she planned to take over the job of pushing the trolley, so she was the first to tie him up.

At first, what Gu Yueyan thought was that she would tie her hands in front and put them directly in the middle of the cart, then tie two handlebars with a rope and put them on her shoulders, so that she could walk by pushing the cart forward with her body.

There is no way, except for a few men, the Su family is all injured, sick and weak, and there are also children. She couldn't let her mother-in-law push the cart.

The painting fan was tied behind her back. At this time, if they stand side by side, the two of them can sit side by side, and it will be easier for each person to push the handlebars.

"You two push first. When you get tired, you can take over for me. Then Yan'er will go aside to rest."

Song Jinhe tied in the third. She thought that after a while, if she pushed it up and she and the painting fan pushed, Gu Yueyan would be able to stand on the other side of the car and walk.

"Madam, there is no need to push. After a while, when you get tired from painting the fan, I'll turn to the old slave to push it."

The person tied behind Song Jinhe was Grandma Song.

Behind her are four children, followed by Du Liniang. Lu Xianglian was tied at the back.

As for the arrangement of the women and children, Gu Yueyan and Hua Fan opened the door, and Song Jinhe followed the arrangement. They originally thought that the four adults would take turns pushing the cart, and the four children would follow. Finally, Du Liniang was asked to watch the children. She was the weakest, injured, and tired from walking, so she just changed to the donkey cart and sat for a while. Unexpectedly, the official sent another Lu Xianglian. broke the plan.

But they are prisoners and have no right to object. Starting from Shiliting and going all the way to Longgang Station, not only are there dirt roads, but most importantly, they are all uphill. Because to the north of the capital, there is a mountainous area that stretches for two to three hundred miles.

The mountains are the kind of stone mountains in the north. Most of them are bare, with only a sparse forest in between.

As soon as a person starts walking, the soil kicked up goes directly into the person's nostrils and eyes. The protruding stones on the road still hurt my feet.

There are many potholes and the road is mostly uphill. The cart is solid and heavy.

Gu Yueyan completely overestimated herself. No matter how strong-minded she was, she was still a wealthy lady and had never done any physical work. She used all her strength to push forward unsteadily and with great difficulty.

Hua Fan's body was weaker than Gu Yueyan's, so he tried his best to push his small body up onto the car, trying to save the young lady as much energy as possible.

But as the cart was being pushed, it became harder and harder to move.

Song Jinhe saw it and immediately changed it.

The cart was too heavy, even Song Jinhe couldn't bear it.

Finally, Nanny Song was added, and the four women took turns pushing. Each of them could only push for a while. Just like that, after a while, all four of them were too tired to stand up straight. But he couldn't bear to lose the cart.

The three grown men, walking in front, looked anxious.

They were all wearing shackles and bracelets and anklets, so they couldn't push the cart at all.

"Jinhe, did you throw away the cart?"

When Song Jinhe changed into the cart again, Su Chengyi turned to her and whispered to her.

"No, this is what our family needs to survive."

Song Jinhe gritted his teeth. The work was all done by humans. After walking for two days, he would get used to it. "

There was no rain in March, and now it was autumn. The weather was sultry and hot. After walking only a dozen miles, the prisoners had dirt on their faces and sweat all over their bodies, their feet were worn out, and they were crying for their fathers and mothers.

"I can't walk anymore, sir, please take a rest."

People wailed.

"Give your grandma a break. It took more than an hour to walk more than a dozen miles. Fifty miles a day, no more, no less. If you miss the deadline, you will be punished by death."

Zhou Fuan cursed.

He was very angry today.

Their criminal department usually escorts officials whose homes have been ransacked and sent into exile. The people in Zhao Prison escort all criminals who have committed heinous crimes, such as flower-picking thieves and family extermination cases. All of them are scum.

The wells and rivers on both sides do not interfere with the river, but this time, Zhao Yu joined in the fun. You have to go on the road with them.

Their prisoners were all young and middle-aged men, more than 200 of them, who insisted on following his exile team.

There are all kinds of road conditions on this journey north. Whoever walks in front has to lead the way. It turns out that the rules of their escort were that the male prisoners wearing shackles and their twenty escort officers walked in front to clear the way, followed by the women and children, and finally their twenty officers broke the rear.

The prisoners they escorted were either exiled officials or women and children. Facing forty escorting officers, he had no ability to resist on the road and would not escape easily. Therefore, it is very simple for them to carry weapons when they go on business trips.

They escorted them all the way, and now they just have to walk harder and earn more money to live a small life.

The prisoners in Zhao Prison are different, they all have skills and everyone can escape. The escorts sent by Zhao Prison were all Zhao Wei, who were very skilled and equipped with good weapons. Not only did they have cars, food, and money, but they all had horses to ride on. A total of forty Zhaowei and forty horses.

They actually wanted to follow a team as weak as their own and let them clear the way.

Mad!

Zhou Fuan was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but he knew he couldn't beat him.

He could only get angry at his prisoner, who was complaining and tired and unwilling to leave. His whip seemed to have eyes, and he swung it at him.

The prisoners who were beaten were crying like ghosts and howling like wolves.
