Quick Wear: Male supporting role, come to my arms quickly

Chapter 263: Food in Hand, No Panic in Exile 6

Capital city, Lu’s residence.

Lu Zhan, who had just received the order of exile, collapsed on the ground. He never expected that such a thing would happen to him one day.

But he quickly cheered up, took out a stack of banknotes from his waist, and stuffed them into the leader's hand: "Sir, my wife is pregnant, I hope you can show mercy."

But how much money could Lu Zhan, a poor scholar, have? The leading official certainly did not look down upon this little bit of money.

Just as he was about to push the person away, he remembered the order from his superiors before he set out. After thinking for a few seconds, he stuffed the banknote into his sleeve and said, "Okay, everyone be careful so as not to hurt the pregnant woman."

At first, Lu Zhan was somewhat thankful that the officer was easy to talk to, but he soon realized that something was wrong.

Because these people were too easy to talk to. Apart from the due procedures, they would not do anything excessive. Even the torture instruments they carried were loose. This was obviously not the effect that his dozens of taels of silver could achieve.

When they were taken to the Dali Temple, they were given a separate cell for the first time.

You know, even the general's own son was locked up in a cell with others.

Moreover, the officers took people out one by one for interrogation. When all of them came back, they were not in good condition. Although there were no obvious wounds on their bodies, they had been tortured. Only the family of three were asked a few symbolic questions and then released.

When it was time to eat, we got a mix of meat and vegetarian dishes, and the bottom of the bowl was still hot when we touched it carefully.

This made Lu Zhan very puzzled. He thought that he did not have enough power to influence the Dali Temple. Moreover, any one of the prisoners in this prison had a higher rank than him. It did not make sense for a nobody like him to be taken care of like this.

He once took the opportunity of delivering food to ask the guards, and they only said that it was an order from above, without saying anything else.

Lu Zhan had a bold guess in his mind that this might be related to the adult who escorted Yuan'er to the capital.

After all, the only connection between their family and the Dali Temple was the incident that happened half a month ago.

After being locked up in the Dali Temple jail for five days, their family was in a much better condition than others. Lu Zhan was worried that this would arouse jealousy, so he smeared some mud on his family members' bodies and put hay in their hair to make them look miserable.

At this time, Chu Yuan was waiting for them to leave in the inn at the city gate.

The day after Shen Heyan left, Chu Yuan rode in a carriage towards the city gate. Along the way, she kept looking out the window.

My puppet should have been dropped nearby. Why haven’t I seen it after walking for so long?

At this time, Zhuzi saw something unusual in front of him, so he reported to Chu Yuan: "Miss, there is a woman fighting with two men in front, I think something happened."

Chu Yuan immediately opened the car curtain and got out to check the situation.

"Miss, should we go up and help?" Chuntao felt a little indignant when she saw two grown men teaming up to bully a woman.

Chu Yuan shook his head: "No, those two men can't beat her."

This is a puppet who inherited all her martial arts. How could he not be a match for two ordinary people? It's just that he didn't get her instructions before, so he was holding back.

Seeing her master appear, she knocked the two men to the ground with fierce moves. Chu Yuan kindly provided two ropes and tied them up.

The puppet stepped forward and bowed: "Thank you Miss for your help."

"Nothing, I see that you are so skilled, have you learned martial arts from a master?"

"Miss, you have a good eye. I have been an orphan since I was young. In order to protect myself, I learned a few moves from an old soldier in the village. Now I am going to the capital to find a job to support my family."

Chu Yuan continued to speak along with her words: "Oh? I just happen to be in need of a maid who knows martial arts. I wonder if the young lady is interested?"

This was originally their plan, and the puppet would certainly not refuse. She nodded quickly and said, "That's great. Thank you for not abandoning me, Miss. I will do my best to protect you."

So before Chuntao and Zhuzi could react, the girl had already signed a contract to sell herself to their young lady as a slave.

Chuntao looked at the new colleague with some sympathy, not knowing whether she should tell her the cruel fact that she would soon be going to Shu with the young lady.

Zhuzi was a little puzzled. Was their young lady's personality so charming that she sold herself out after only meeting her once?

Especially when they traveled together later and learned that this maid named Xia Yu by the young lady also knew medical skills, they became even more confused. Why would someone with such special skills be so desperate to sell herself into slavery?

Xia Yu's answer to this was: "Maybe the lady is so friendly, I want to be with her as soon as I see her."

This answer resonated with the two of them. Indeed, their young lady had looked like a fairy since she was little. Everyone who saw her would praise her for being cute.

After walking for about half a day, the group arrived outside the gate of the capital.

There were many caravans gathering at the city gate. Chu Yuan took a piece of silver and handed it to an aunt who looked very friendly: "Aunt, I want to ask you if there are any caravans going to Bingzhou nearby? It would be best if they were larger in scale."

When the aunt saw the silver in her hand, she smiled so much that her wrinkles appeared on her face. She grabbed her hand affectionately and said, "Sister, you have asked the right person. Our caravan is going to Bingzhou. It is the largest caravan in this area."

Afraid that she wouldn't believe him, he pointed to the dozens of horses tied behind him and said, "Look, apart from us, no other caravan can afford so many horses."

Chu Yuan nodded. Indeed, she came over to talk to him just now because she saw this magnificent cavalry. "Aunt, can you take two more people with you? Take these two people with me back to Bingzhou. We can discuss the money and other things."

Seeing her generosity, the aunt agreed after only a moment's hesitation: "Okay, sister, I just like you. If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother with her. But the money... at least twenty taels."

Chu Yuan secretly complained to himself, he still liked her, but it was obvious that he liked her because of the money in her hand.

However, the price of twenty taels is acceptable. These days, safety is the top priority when traveling outside. If I can get the person there safely, the higher price is worth it.
