"Zhou Fu'an, you take these exiles and walk slowly. Send me four official servants. My carriage is fast. We will wait for you at the Yueyang Town Post Station."

Zhou Fu'an cursed in his heart, you are obviously the deputy team leader, and according to your responsibilities, you should follow me, the team leader, to escort the exiles on their way. It's good for this gentleman. Not only is it his responsibility to escort the exiled prisoners, but he also has to be assigned official duties to serve him.

However, Zhou Fuan did not dare to show it on his face as he scolded him in his heart. If this third-generation ancestor causes him any trouble again, well, forget it, it’s better if he leaves, so that he can escort the exiled prisoners with all his strength, from here to Yueyang Town, one hundred and fifty miles away. It's not a easy road to take. He didn't have the energy to escort the exiled prisoners and serve the third generation ancestor at the same time.

Zhou Fu'an selected four officials to protect Chu Mingyang.

Chu Mingyang actually asked the four officials to get on top of his carriage, then asked Xiao Yazhang to drive the carriage and drive away.

Zhou Fu'an was stunned when he saw this coquettish operation, and the officials cursed in their hearts, but they were all the same as Zhou Fu'an, they could only feel uneasy in their hearts. It was not until Chu Mingyang's carriage had gone far that the officials spat. on the ground.

After walking all morning, I just had something to eat. I haven’t had much rest yet, and I have to set off again.

The exiles all complained. They are either the family members of demoted officials or the family members of wealthy businessmen who were exiled due to the prince's case. From yesterday to today, many of them had blisters on their feet yesterday. Heartbreaking. Especially some children, who dare not walk even if they are yelled at. The adults couldn't walk by themselves, not to mention that men couldn't carry children in shackles, and women couldn't carry children in chains. The child hugged her mother's legs and cried, refusing to move forward.

During the lunch break, the officials untied the women's children, and they had to tie them up again. There were so many people, so Chu Mingyang took four more officials away. They were in a hurry to set off, so the officials tied the women's children indiscriminately. If there is no rope, children under ten years old simply don’t tie them up. The officials also knew that these children had been walking all morning, and now their little feet were so worn out that they could hardly walk, let alone run away. Even if he really ran away, he would still be dead in this barren mountain.

The little chubby Su Sinan took the opportunity to run out, completed the task assigned by his elder brother, and then hurried back, twisted his fat body, and climbed onto the donkey cart.

"I gave all the messages to that big black-faced official."

Su Sinan's expression was like "I'm great, big brother, please praise me now."

Yue Feng?

Sumi Bao looked at his eldest brother with admiration. It was amazing that even though he was so ill, he could still arrange for his own people among the officials.

"It was arranged by my uncle. He said that Yue Feng was a son of the Song family. The whole family lived in Zhuangzi, the hometown of Song. Three years ago, my uncle arranged for Yue Feng to enter the government office. No one else knew about it. His relationship with the Song family is die-hard and can definitely be trusted."

Sumi Bao secretly complained in his heart. The whole family was in the hands of his uncle. How dare this Yue Feng not be loyal to the death? My uncle is so awesome and considerate in everything he does.

The four children were all loosened from their ropes and now they all squeezed into the donkey cart. The donkey cart seemed extremely crowded.

[Let me find something good. 】

Sumi Bao thought for a while and took out a solid wood table from the space. It was an ancient solid wood calligraphy table. The legs on both sides were also whole wooden boards. He put it in the donkey cart. The height was exactly half of the donkey's height. The two pieces together took up just as much space as the donkey. Half the car. Putting the mattress on top creates an upper and lower layer. Four children crowded onto it and sat on it. Below, grandma, eldest brother, and seventh aunt are still sitting in the same place holding Sumi Bao. The space occupied by the table is in the direction of their legs.

Such a small donkey cart, after Sumi Bao's troubles, actually squeezed eight people into it. It doesn't seem crowded.

The rain came as soon as it came, but there was still no wind. The rain seemed to fall directly from the sky.

Wow, after a few thunders, a heavy rain suddenly came, turning all the exiled prisoners into drowned rats in one fell swoop.

The rain was so heavy that everyone could not see the road ahead. "Captain, when I took this mission, a friend of mine in Qintian Prison told me something. I had been thinking about it for two days. I had been hesitant whether to say it or not. Now look at the situation, It’s all what that friend said. I have to tell you.”

Yue Feng followed Zhou Fu'an with three slippery steps.

The rain was too heavy. Zhou Fuan wiped the water on his face and shouted back to him,

"If you have anything to say, just say it—"

Zhou Fuan cursed secretly in his heart, grandma and God were against him. Look, it's raining so heavily just over a hundred miles out of the capital. He put on a raincoat, but it didn't help. The rain still poured all over his face and he couldn't see the road clearly.

The bamboo hat issued by the officer was covered with thick oil paper, but the bamboo hat was in the car in front of him at this time, and he hadn't gone to the front to get it yet.

This reminded him that the four officials following Chu Mingyang were sitting on the roof of Chu Mingyang's carriage shed with their necks raised, soaking in the rain. When they left, they did not take their raincoats. It was impossible for Chu Mingyang to bring extra raincoats and oil-paper umbrellas. Even if he brought it with him, he would not be used by the officials just because of Chu's reputation.

Phew,

Zhou Fu'an was thinking about his thoughts while listening to Yue Feng's words. I didn't pay attention to my steps, one of my feet slipped and I fell backwards.

Yue Feng stretched out his hand to support Zhou Fu'an in time, but because he used too much force, Zhou Fu'an stopped and he fell to the ground. He got up in embarrassment and wiped his face. His face was covered with mud and water, and only his eyes were exposed.

Zhou Fuan is both angry and funny,

"I didn't hear what you just said, please say it again."

Yue Feng thought to himself, I didn't say anything clearly just now, of course you wouldn't understand.

"I said, I have a friend in the Qintian Prison. I didn't want to take this errand, but he came to tell me a message. He said that he watched the stars at night, and in a few days the capital would turn over. Because the trouble was serious, So he told me not to tell others easily. He told me to take this errand. He said that I have no father or mother, and I am not married. I am alone. If I take this errand, I can leave the capital as soon as possible. I can save my life. ."

Yue Feng secretly confessed to his parents in his heart: I'm sorry, in order to successfully complete the task assigned by the young master, my parents can only wrong you first.

"What did you say? Earth Dragon turned over?"

Zhou Fu'an's bamboo hat couldn't stop the heavy rain, and it flowed down his face until he couldn't see the way. He didn't bother to wipe it, grabbed Yue Feng,

"What did you say just now? Say it again? Did I hear you correctly?"

He wouldn't recite it like this, would he?

Not to mention taking on such a difficult errand, it was raining heavily and the ground dragon was turning over. God really didn't want to leave him a way to survive!

"Yes, my friend said that the earth dragon will turn around. It will stretch for about two hundred miles at midnight tonight."

Two hundred miles?
