All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

The other officers and soldiers seemed to be accustomed to the fact that an officer killed a man.

This kind of thing must have happened too many times.

No wonder others would say that in ancient times of exile, being able to reach the destination alive was already very impressive.

Xia Chan's clenched fists loosened.

The soldier who killed the man wiped the bloody knife on the dead man's clothes.

He raised his head and said to the others who were looking at him dumbfoundedly, "Whoever doesn't leave quickly will suffer the same fate as this bastard."

After saying that, he looked towards Xia Chan and the others.

The warning was obvious in his eyes.

Xia Chan had a blank expression on his face.

It is not certain who will take whose life in the end.

The people of the Xie family also hated these officers and soldiers very much because of their brutality.

The other people in the exile team were frightened by the brutality of the officers and soldiers. They cried, but no one dared to stop.

The family members of the beheaded man couldn't even take the body of their loved one.

I could only watch the brutal soldiers throw the body down the mountain...

To them, to the government, Xia Chan and his companions are already dead.

As long as one third of the one hundred exiles remain by the time they reach their destination, the officers and soldiers will be able to complete their mission.

In other words, it wouldn't matter if two-thirds of the exiled prisoners died.

Of course, this only applies to death on the road.

Not that you can escape.

Running away is a serious sin and you will be a sinner for the rest of your life.

But it's okay to die.

Anyway, these are prisoners, and their death would be in vain.

This is exactly why these officers and soldiers would kill others at will.

Xia Chan had read the book and knew that half a month after the exile team set out, they would encounter a group of bandits.

Xie Lin's two sisters-in-law died in the battle, and his mother and two sisters were raped to death.

The two children of the eldest and second sisters-in-law also had their hands and feet chopped off, dying in agony...

The book does not mention Xia Chan, Xie Lin, the old lady, or the old lady's maidservant who came with her as a dowry.

Because these people had died before the exile began!

Xia Chan's thoughts came back to his senses from the book.

She looked around and her eyes fell on Xie Lin on the cart.

According to the description in the book, the group of bandits encountered half a month later were extremely ferocious.

More than half of the officers and soldiers escorting the exile team died.

If the garrison troops from the nearby cities had not come to support, none of the officers and soldiers would have survived.

When Xia Chan thought of this, he couldn't help but frown.

Bandits never leave empty-handed, so why would they attack a worthless group of exiles?

Especially using such vicious means to deal with the Xie family?

Xia Chan thought for a while and felt that there was only one possibility.

That means the bandits were bribed by the Xie family's enemies.

They came with a purpose, so they treated the Xie family so cruelly.

That would require Xie Lin to wake up before that.

Having more helpers is always good.

.........

The exile team marched on the road under the scorching July sun. By the afternoon, most of them could no longer walk.

Even Xie Yunying and the others had blisters on the soles of their feet.

At this time, some people in the team began to envy the Xie family.

Why do they have carts?

Why could they take the unconscious Xie Lin into exile?

Just like the man who got heatstroke at noon, just kill him. Why should they be treated specially?

"Don't you know that Xie Lin's wife was originally the Crown Princess?"

"The prince came to see me off personally, how can I not be treated specially?"

Someone in the team was talking in a sarcastic tone.

Everyone is working hard under the scorching sun.

Since they were all unfamiliar people, their attitudes were naturally even worse.

Xie Yunying and the others were very angry when they heard the sarcastic remarks coming from the front.

Xia Chan wasn't that angry.

When they say sour words and act sarcastic, it's just because of jealousy.

She doesn't take it seriously at all.

Of course, the premise is that they don't cross the line.

It's just that some people obviously don't know the limits.

Instead of stopping when they saw the good, they thought Xia Chan was really afraid of them. They even dared to continue to slander Xia Chan out of jealousy.

"They said that she was framed by her own sister and her marriage was changed. Maybe it was because she had an affair with a strange man that she was abandoned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would rather marry Xia Yuanan, the second daughter, than her, the eldest daughter. Doesn't that explain the situation?"

"Yes, she had just married into the Xie family when the Xie family was confiscated. Maybe she was the one who brought the Xie family to its death."

"Yes, it sounds like that's the case. Otherwise, how could the Xie family, which has been loyal for generations, be destroyed as soon as she entered the family?"

"How pitiful! The Xie family still treats her as one of their own..."

These people are talking back and forth one after another. Do they really think that Xia Chan is a soft persimmon that can be squeezed?

The people of the Xie family were already furious at what the previous few people said.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"You are not allowed to wrongly accuse my third sister-in-law."

The eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, and Xie Yunying spoke up together to defend Xia Chan.

Xia Chan held their hands.

"No need to rush."

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at the people who were talking in front of her.

She turned to the officer and soldier beside her and said, "Sir, they are slandering His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Didn't you hear it?"

The officer and soldier who were originally watching the fun on the sidelines did not expect Xia Chan to suddenly call on him.

He looked at Xia Chan, then at the people in front of him.

"Miss Xia, what do you mean by this?"

"Palm mouth."

Xia Chan said, "Fifty slaps each."

Her expression was very cold.

Even though he was wearing handcuffs and shackles, the majestic aura he exuded was hard to ignore.

The soldier walked towards the female prisoners in front of him as if possessed by some strange force.

He raised his hand and slapped the other person in the face before he reacted.

What is he doing?

How could he possibly listen to a prisoner?

The officers and soldiers stopped what they were doing and looked at Xia Chan.

"you……"

"They all know that I have a relationship with the prince, don't you know, General?"

A faint smile appeared at Xia Chan's lips.

This simple question actually left the officers and soldiers stunned.

Before he could react, several other people came forward and slapped the faces of the women who had just said bad things about Xia Chan.

Fifty strokes, no more, no less.

The man was very strong and he hit the women's mouths so hard that they were swollen and bleeding, and their teeth were also knocked out.

The exiles were stunned.

They didn't expect that someone would actually listen to Xia Chan and slap someone.

Moreover, although those men were wearing officers' and soldiers' uniforms, their aura was not that of ordinary officers' and soldiers.

Could it be that he really is the prince's man?

The people in the team were stunned.

The officers and soldiers nearby were also stunned.

The summer cicadas were expected.

She knew that this was Yuan Che's man.

Since the original owner is Yuan Che's white moonlight, Yuan Che will never let her go easily.

Sure enough, after slapping the man, those men raised their feet and walked in front of Xia Chan.

"Miss Xia, please follow us."
