Chapter 415 The Destitute Prince's God-Level Cheating Little Silly Wife 17
There was a flash of swords and sabers.
Everyone was completely awake.
There was a chaotic sound of screams, children crying, and women sobbing. The men protected the women in the middle.
The two men tried to escape, fighting and retreating. However, they were outnumbered and had no way to escape. One of them had his veil removed, revealing his true face.
"It's Brother Wang Jin." One of the officers exclaimed.
The other one is Brother Hu!
Chang Wei pointed the sword at the two men and frowned, "As officials, you two should abide by the law. Why did you commit such an assassination?"
Wang Jin covered his chest and coughed twice, "Ahem... We are just following orders."
"No matter who ordered you two brothers to do this, if you dare to act rashly today, I will show no favoritism and arrest you both on the spot and punish you severely according to the law." General Chang Wei shouted, "Catch them!"
Everyone immediately drew their swords and rushed forward. For a moment, the cold light flashed and the wind from the swords whistled, drowning out the chirping of birds and insects around them.
Soon, both of them were covered in wounds. They were ordered by their superiors to assassinate Song Yi. If they failed, they could only die to atone for their sins, and they must not implicate their families.
There was no way to escape today. The two men looked at each other, and without hesitation turned the knives in their hands around, slashing their necks fiercely. Blood spurted out like a stream, and they both committed suicide.
Jiang Changwei had some guesses in his mind and looked at the remaining officers, wondering whose people were here?
He sighed deeply. This mission was going to be difficult, and it had just begun.
He turned to look at the two bodies on the ground and gave a solemn order, "Keep their tokens of identity, find a secluded place, and bury them quickly. Don't let them lie exposed in the wilderness. Once the escort is complete, return and report in detail for the higher-ups to decide."
"Yes." The four officers carried the body into the woods, chose a soft place, and buried it on the spot.
Everyone was still in a state of anxiety, with only heavy breathing sounds coming one after another. Each one was more alert than the other, and none of them had any desire to sleep.
Chang Wei reassigned people to take turns on duty.
"Everyone must conserve their energy and we will set off at full speed when it is light." The sooner we send them to the place of exile, the sooner we can complete this task.
Princess Tai'an came over and told General Chang Wei about letting Lu Zhihuan ride in the carriage, and also stuffed a hundred taels of silver into his pocket.
"This is indeed against the rules." Jiang Chang Wei did not take it away. Now there were spies from some unknown force in this team, so he was more careful in his actions.
The princess had no choice but to give up.
As daylight approached, the gongs began to sound again.
As soon as we got up, we packed our bags and set off. The road ahead was getting more and more dangerous, so we had to travel more during the day.
After walking about six or seven miles, it was completely light and the sun came out.
I didn't expect the sun to be so bright this early in the morning.
We have to wait until the lunch break to have a meal.
Everyone had run out of food and almost finished their water.
Only Lu Zhihuan can drink when he is thirsty and eat when he is hungry.
She has learned now that as long as she covers her mouth so that no one can see, she can eat delicious food just by thinking about it.
Princess Tai'an was walking and thinking. It had been three days in a row. She sprained her ankle every day at mealtime. Is this really okay?
She raised her hand and touched her cheek, which had become much rounder.
She looked at the whole family, young and old, all pointing at her. After taking only two steps, she cried out "ouch!" and twisted her ankle again.
Song Shi and Qiuyue quickly supported her, and the officers beside them were already used to it.
Princess Tai'an sprains her ankle every day at mealtime!
Song Shi skillfully carried Princess Tai'an on his back and took Lu Zhihuan to the carriage with one hand.
Princess Tai'an got on the carriage. There was almost nothing inside, only two empty bags.
She waited quietly.
The next moment, there was a lot of food in the carriage.
She has managed to remain calm now, but when she first saw it, it almost shattered her three perspectives.
It is said that fools have good luck. Although God closed a door for her, he opened a skylight for her without telling anyone.
It was almost noon when the two officers came back.
The big and small bags are all food, and now is the time for the officials to earn money.
The steamed buns that cost two cents were sold to them for twenty cents each.
They sold them a five-cent bun for fifty cents each.
Even a bag of water costs thirty cents.
Those who are willing to spend money and have money can eat something good. There are also roast chicken, roast goose, bacon, pickles and dried meat. If you want some snacks, just let me know in advance. As long as you have enough money, I will bring you whatever you want to eat.
Prices are going to increase tenfold, twentyfold, and our wallets are shrinking very quickly, making people complain bitterly.
Song Yi asked the housekeeper to buy 50 steamed buns. The housekeeper was used to it, so he gave 9 of them to the aunt's family first, and sent the rest to the lady first.
When it is divided again, it becomes stuffed.
After lunch, everyone rested for an hour before continuing on their journey.
In the afternoon, the official roads were even more crowded with small vendors and messengers riding horses.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves and rolling wheels came from the front. A caravan of thirty or forty people came towards them, with a long line of carriages loaded with a wide variety of goods.
The caravan approached, and the dust raised by the horses' hooves filled the air like a thin mist.
Just as they passed each other, a group of ferocious robbers suddenly jumped out from the bushes on both sides.
"Brothers, go ahead!..."
Immediately caused screams.
Lu Zhihuan had just told Song Shi that there were people around, and he became alert.
The officers immediately took alert and surrounded the prisoner.
There were about twenty or thirty people, all holding machetes high, rushing towards the caravan, completely ignoring the officers.
Song Yi and Song Shi looked at each other. This matter was unusual, so they reminded everyone to speed up.
General Chang Wei did not dare to be careless. He ordered the exile team to move forward quickly, leaving a few people to follow the exile team, and the rest to help the caravan.
When the officers approached the caravan, the leading robber blew a sharp whistle.
The robbers immediately abandoned the upper team and rushed towards the exile team like wolves, causing Chang Wei to shout anxiously, "Come back for help!"
Song Shi had been prepared for this. That group of people was obviously unusual. With so many officials present, he still went to rob the caravan, which was obviously a way to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Song Yi also held a knife in his hand, and he and Song Shi stood in front of the crowd.
Princess Tai'an hurried forward to hold him back, "My dear, your wounds have only just healed."
Song Yi turned around and comforted her, "It's okay, ma'am, don't be afraid. Qiuyue, take ma'am away first." Qiuyue hurried forward and pulled the princess back.
Princess Tai'an also knew that if she stayed, she would be a hindrance, so she pulled Song Weiwei and ran forward.
The two officers, along with their female relatives and a man who didn't know martial arts, protected the elderly and children and continued to run forward!
The group of people had already rushed over, and the shouts and sounds of swords clashing behind them were intertwined and deafening.
Seeing this, the caravan members immediately provided support.
Liu Er pulled Lu Zhihuan forward, but Lu Zhihuan kept looking back while running, and kept shouting, "I want my husband, I want my husband~"
Liu'er was having some difficulty pulling, "Be good, young lady!"
