Gongsun Wen looked at Yi Ping who was walking towards him and was happily waiting to eat the food, but Yi Ping ran away with the food!

And ever since Yiping discovered me, the dishes she cooked never came to Gongsun Wen’s table again, but were all served to my table.

Ankang gave me a big bowl of rice. I was so hungry that I worked hard like a pig with the bowl in my hands.

The way I ate my meal scared Gongsun Wen and the woman.

The two men opened their mouths wide, and then they couldn't help swallowing their saliva, wishing they could pounce on the food.

After I finished a big bowl of rice, I felt a little choked up, so I drank another big bowl of soup. I had already eaten almost half of the dishes on the table, but I was still hungry, so I asked Ankang to serve me another big bowl of rice.

After a while, I finished the bowl of rice and the dishes on the table. I touched my belly and said, "I finally feel a little full."

Everyone looked at me in shock, as if I was a monster. I finished the food by myself, which was enough for ten people to finish!

Yi Ping swallowed his saliva and asked, "Second brother, are you possessed by a hungry ghost? How come you can eat so much all of a sudden?"

I took a sip of tea and said, "If I hadn't been lying down for too long and was afraid of eating too much, I would have wanted another bowl of rice. I'm really hungry."

Gongsun Wen slowly closed his mouth and muttered, "Whoever marries such a person will be unlucky."

The woman sitting next to him didn't hear clearly, so she couldn't help asking, "Brother, what are you talking about?"

Gongsun Wen quickly shook his head and refused to say what he had just said.

Just then, a man in captain's uniform came in, walked up to the woman, saluted, and whispered, "Miss Su, we found a government ship behind us."

Gongsun Wen and the woman glanced at each other quickly, and Gongsun Wen asked, "How long will it take to catch up?"

The captain replied, "Our ship does not sail on water, unlike the government ships, which are good at tracking on the water. According to the distance just observed, we can catch up in a cup of tea."

A cup of tea is equivalent to about fifteen minutes. Gongsun Wen's face changed when he heard this and asked, "Where has the ship reached?"

The captain replied: "The next waterway is the territory of Qingyun Mountain."

Qingyun Mountain is the border between Dayu Kingdom and Southern Qin Kingdom. Once you reach the border of Southern Qin Kingdom, the government ships of Dayu Kingdom will no longer chase you.

Gongsun Wen asked, "How long will it take us to reach the next waterway?"

The captain thought for a moment and said, "About half an hour."

Gongsun Wen's face darkened. With this time difference, he would have been caught long ago.

Miss Su said, "You can leave in the small boat, and we will deal with the government boats. As long as you reach Qingyun Mountain, you will be safe."

Gongsun Wen stood up and said to Miss Su, "This is the only way. Junior sister, remember, you must not confront the government head-on. If they want to detain the ship, let them detain it. I will come back to seek justice for you."

Miss Su stood up, sneered, and said, "When I, your junior sister, was the top girl, you hadn't even come out yet. How can you be the one to teach me how to behave? Besides, you can't protect yourself now. You kidnapped His Majesty's treasure. If you are caught by the government, I'll tear you into pieces."

After Miss Su finished speaking, she pushed Gongsun Wen and said, "Hurry up and leave. If it's any later, the government boat will catch up with us. There is a reed marsh ahead, and it will be difficult for a small boat to find it. You can wait until the government boat leaves before heading to Qingyun Mountain."

Gongsun Wen nodded and said, "I am grateful for your kindness. If I can be of any use to you in the future, I will definitely do it for you."

"Okay, okay, stop nagging and get off the boat quickly." Miss Su pushed Gongsun Wen impatiently.

Gongsun Wen waved to Ankang, and Ankang hurried to Gongsun Wen.

Gongsun Wen said, "The government boats are catching up with us. We should get off the boats immediately. Let them pack their clothes and go down to the cabin on a small boat."

When Ankang heard this, he quickly said "yes", then ran towards us and repeated Gongsun Wen's original words.

When Yi Ping heard this, he quickly said, "Then I'll go pack my things."

After saying this, Yiping turned around and left.

Ankang said: "I will take the Second Young Master to the bottom cabin."

I quickly stood up and said, "Okay."

The government ship has caught up with me, and this is no joke. They will definitely capture me and take me back. Given Zheng Xian's character, he may not kill me, but he will definitely imprison me for life.

I hurriedly followed Ankang and walked out quickly.

Gongsun Wen had no servants with him, so Ankang took me to the bottom cabin, found the small boat tied to the stern, and immediately went to help Gongsun Wen pack his things.

Gongsun Wen and I got on the boat, one of us sitting at the bow and the other at the stern, far away from each other.

The place where the boat passed was full of reeds. I couldn't help but reach out to pick them. Gongsun Wen snorted and said, "Childish!"

I responded bluntly: "None of your business!"

Gongsun Wen blushed and said angrily, "How vulgar."

I picked a bunch of reeds, looked left and right, and felt pretty good. I couldn't help but feel happy. I rolled my eyes at Gongsun Wen and said, "It's none of your business."

Now Gongsun Wen was so angry that he didn't want to pay attention to me. He turned his head away and said nothing.

Soon Yiping and Ankang packed up their things and came over together.

Ankang helped Yiping onto the boat, and then began to untie the ropes on the boat. I looked and shouted, "Where's Zheng Bang? Aren't we waiting for Zheng Bang?"

Yi Ping sat down next to me, hugged her packed cloth bag tightly, and said, "The Seventh Prince did not board the ship with us. Lord Gongsun has sent him away."

"Sent away? Where did he go?" I asked anxiously.

Yi Ping shook his head and said, "I don't know."

I glanced at Gongsun Wen, who had nothing to do with the matter, and asked, "You won't send him back to the palace, will you? Zheng Bang is already scared silly. If you send him back, won't that harm him?"

Gongsun Wen rolled his eyes at me without any hesitation and said, "Who is he? He has been hiding from us all day long. Do you think this is good for him?"

Before I could say anything, Gongsun Wen continued, "We are already struggling to take care of ourselves, and we want to bring a fool with us. What good will this do us?"

In a verbal battle with Gongsun Wen, I will always lose!

Since I couldn't win the argument, I could only turn my head away angrily and ignore him.

At this time, Ankang had untied the ropes. With a "bang", water splashed everywhere, and the small boat we were riding on separated from the big ship.

Ankang sat in the middle of the boat, picked up the oar, and rowed gently, and the boat drifted into the reeds.

Gongsun Wen signaled Ankang to find a secluded place to dock and moor the boat. Then Gongsun Wen climbed onto a big rock, lay on it, and stared motionlessly at the big ship that was gradually going away.

Not long after, the government's large ship caught up with the ship we were on, and forced it to stop on the river. They put up wooden boards between the two ships, and a team of officers and soldiers quickly ran from the boards to the large ship to begin a search.

At this time, Gongsun Wen discovered that two familiar figures walked out of the official ship, they were Zheng Yan and Du Changfeng!
