Chapter 146 Exile to Lingnan

Six hundred miles after leaving Chang'an, Yang Wei told Xu Zheng that they had eaten up a carriage of food, and now there was a carriage available. They could let the elderly, women and children with limited mobility sit on it, so that they could also walk.

A little faster.

Xu Zheng asked the remaining four officers, "What do you say?"

The officers looked at each other in astonishment, what a guy! The prisoners even got on the carriage!

"Boss, you make the decision, whatever you say will be done, we don't have any objections!" Ask them what they are doing, but they don't dare to have any objections!

"Okay, then I'll make the decision." So Xu Zheng waved his hand, and the women and children of the Qin family all got on the carriage.

Next, without the burden of children and female dependents, Xu Zheng and other guards and officers took the three brothers of the Qin family and traveled hundreds of miles a day.

At noon that day, they had lunch outside. The steamed and soft white flour buns, paired with a bowl of hot broth, were really satisfying.

After eating and resting for a while, everyone was ready to go.

Lu Songli was a little full after eating and didn't want to ride in the carriage for fear of being upset, so she walked with them. They all walked on the official road in twos and threes.

Qin Zhao looked at someone's back and sighed meaningfully, "A Sheng, I heard that pigeon soup is also very nourishing."

Qin Sheng buried his head in the road and was too lazy to pay attention to him, hum.

Two days ago, he said that fish soup is very nourishing, especially for the elderly and women.

He got interested, and when passing by a frozen river, he picked a spot and made a hole. The fish inside jumped out one by one, and it didn't take long for him to pick up a basketful.

There were more than fifty people in their group, and they all drank the fragrant and delicious fish soup. There was also some frozen tofu in the fish soup, and it tasted really delicious.

His mother and daughter-in-law didn't say anything, but his third brother was full of praise and kept praising the deliciousness of the fish soup.

If he believed in him again, he would be——Qin Sheng heard his wife speak before he finished muttering in his heart.

"Pigeon soup is indeed quite nourishing." Lu Songli nodded in agreement.

Qin Sheng turned to look at her, are you serious? "Really that?"

Lu Songli nodded, "Yes, it nourishes yin and kidneys, replenishes qi and blood. It is especially good for pregnant women and those with weak and hot constitutions. It can speed up wound healing."

Got it! So Qin Sheng raised his head and looked at the sky.

Lu Songde also raised his head and happened to see two white doves flying in the sky with fluttering wings.

Qin Zhao quickly raised his head, and then his eyes widened. He was shocked. Wouldn't these two white pigeons fall down?

While he was looking at the sky in shock, Qin Sheng was already running after the pigeons in the sky with the bows and arrows borrowed by his companion Zhou Da.

Everyone thought that he shouldn't be able to catch up. After all, nothing running on the ground can compare to something flying in the sky.

But not long after, Qin Sheng came back with two white pigeons that had been pierced by an arrow.

Qin Zhao:......

"Wait a minute, this pigeon seems to have something tied to its leg." Lu Songli pointed to the letter.

Qin Heng took it off, looked at it, and handed it to Lu Songli, "Sixth brother and sister, take a look."

When Lu Songli was reading the note, Qin Sheng came up to her and touched her shoulder.

Lu Songli glanced at him and moved the note between the two of them so that he could read it together.

After Lu Songli read it, he handed it to his second uncle Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao read it and handed it to Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng didn't answer and turned around, "I've seen it." He just saw it with his wife's hand, so there was no need to read it a second time!

The note in Qin Zhao's hand moved with him.

Qin Sheng frowned, "What to do?"

Qin Zhao made a swallowing motion.

"Let's go! Eat it yourself!" Qin Sheng gave him a look of contempt and walked away.

Qin Zhao shouted at him, "Xiao Liu, I wouldn't have done this to you. When you were in Dali Prison, you could eat without changing your expression."

Qin Sheng only left him with the back of his head. Who would like to eat the food after doing it? Do you think you are her? How dare you ask for the same treatment as her!

In the end, Qin Zhao could only eat it into his stomach and destroy the corpse.

Nie Yunniang looked at the pair of dead pigeons and asked, "These are homing pigeons, right? Is it okay to eat them?" She was a little worried.

"What does it matter? Ah Sheng shot it down." Qin Zhao stepped forward and picked up the pigeon.

Qin Heng also said, "Yes, feel free to eat it."

These two carrier pigeons were flying to the north. The letters on the carrier pigeons were not urgent, and losing them would have a certain impact. Besides, this is the power of the Song family, not the Qin family.

.

In the end, the two pigeons were stewed, together with ginger cubes, wine, wolfberry, angelica, and red dates. They were brought to a boil over high heat and simmered over low heat. In the end, only three bowls of soup were left for Qin Mu, Nie Yunniang, and Lu Songli.

bowl.

While the Qin family happily went to the place of exile, the Xie and Zhao families in Chang'an City were not doing well.

Zhao Bin died. He had difficulty moving. On the seventh night after entering the prison, someone covered his mouth and nose and killed him. He did not resist. It is said that he died with a smile on his face, and his appearance was quite good-looking.

.

All valuable things on his body were taken away, including thick clothes, leaving only a single garment to wrap himself around.

Zhao Bin was carried out by the jailers.

The Zhao family looked on indifferently.

Because there was no one to take care of it, the jailers had no choice but to carry it on a torn mat and throw it to the mass grave!

The guards were cursing at their work. It was the Chinese New Year and they had to carry dead people. It was bad luck! The key was that they didn’t even get a red envelope to get rid of the bad luck!

Then, under Xie Zhan's operation, the Xie and Zhao families were eventually exiled to Lingnan.

On New Year's Eve, when thousands of houses were lit with lights, people from the Xie family and Zhao family slowly walked out of Chang'an City with staggering steps, under whippings from time to time by the prison officials and officers.

In fact, the members of the Xie and Zhao families also lost a lot of lives during their time in prison. Because of the torture, because of the cold, because they didn't eat well and didn't wear warm enough clothes, dead people were carried out almost every day.

Most of those carried out were old people or children. Young people were better off and not so many died.

Nowadays, there are not many old people and children in their team.

Because there were so many prisoners in this group, there were four guards and twenty officers. In order to avoid trouble, all the adult men of the Zhao and Xie families had to wear shackles.

During the Chinese New Year, the guards and officers had to escort the prisoners to Lingnan, and they were in a bad mood.

This group of officers are not good ones. Unlike those who escorted the Qin family, they were all secretly moved and screened by Xu Zheng.

There were quite a few of the officers who escorted the prisoners from the Xie and Zhao families. It was not their turn to go on this mission, but they were all forced to work overtime by their superiors. They were forced to work overtime without overtime pay. It's obvious, look at Xie

The Zhao family looks like they don't have much to gain, so it's surprising that they are in a good mood.

"Master, why did we choose Nanliu instead of Beiliu?"

Ahem, Xie Zhan has lost a lot of weight these days. He wrapped his worn rat fur coat tightly and answered the brother's question in a low voice, "Dunhuang County, Ximei County, and Liangzhou belong to the northern border, and the Qin family is stationed there.

It has been in the north for many years, and we have been exiled there, but we cannot get any benefits." It is difficult to conquer those forces for our own use.

Xie Zhan paused and said, "The Qin family has already gone to Pingzhou and Lelang County."

During this period of time in the prison, he had been reflecting on his failure. He was too conceited and thought that no one could see his plan. However, he was attacked by Lu Songli halfway, and he was unable to get up or down.

When he was attacked by her, he had no power to fight back.

After falling heavily, he was shocked to realize that she had been waiting for the opportunity to make a move, which was why she chose the right moment to take action. It was he who underestimated the heroes of the world.

Therefore, during this period of time in prison, he learned from the pain and decided to continue his previous attitude towards Lu Songli and even the Qin family, and not to provoke their respective development strategies. Dali is so big, they can separate themselves in the north and south.

, develop independently.

Therefore, the Xie family will not go to Pingzhou or even Lelang County!

If they go there, they will be one mountain and two tigers. The land over there is only so big. For development and resources, the two sides will definitely fight overtly and covertly.

Anyone who has the ability is strong. The Qin family was sent to Pingzhou. Lu Songli may have regarded the Pingzhou area as his own. Anyone who falls behind will be regarded as a predator by the other party and will not be killed.

Don't give up.

He found that he didn't know his opponent Lu Songli very well, and it would be dangerous to fight like this.

For the Xie clan, the most important thing now is to survive.

Therefore, he chose to avoid his sharp edge and use time and space to develop and strengthen himself. It was just a good time to see what the other party was like. Then he would compete again in the future.

"The southwest area has many ethnic minorities and many mountains, which is not conducive to future development."

"The southeastern area will be better, whether it is economic development or the terrain and people's customs." Although there are many clan forces there, he is confident that these problems can be solved.

"Moreover, we have very little food and clothing. If we go north, we don't know how many people will have to die before we can reach the exile. In the south, it will be relatively warm and more people from the human race can survive."
