Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

"So you came here on foot?" Du Kongqing was very surprised.

She originally thought that a playboy like Sun Qingyuan could not endure hardship.

Although his family had fallen on hard times, he had grown up in luxury. How could he walk such a long distance?

Hexi Village and Hedong Village are neighbors, so the two villages are about the same distance from Fuyuan County.

People from Hexi Village usually take Uncle Niu's ox cart to the city. Each person only needs one copper coin as the fare, and it takes more than half an hour to reach Fuyuan County.

Even if Xiaoran's carriage was faster, it would still take fifteen minutes to arrive.

If they had to walk on their own two legs, it would probably take more than an hour. It seemed that Sun Qingyuan and the others got up really early.

Thinking of this, Du Kongqing couldn't help but grin, his eyes narrowed to a slit, with a hint of gloating.

When Sun Qingyuan saw that little girl Du Kongqing was making fun of him, he immediately became furious:

"Speaking of which, Miss Luo is also my boss. I am not like that little girl Kong Qing, who can always take Miss Luo's car."

Luo Xiaoran had a blank expression on her face, innocently being blamed: You didn't tell me in advance that you wanted to come to the temple fair together, are you blaming me???

Du Kongqing curled his lips and glared at Sun Qingyuan:

"You haven't come to teach Chen'er for a few days, and Xiaoran hasn't said anything yet? What are you talking about hitchhiking again!"

Sun Qingyuan wanted to continue bickering, but was interrupted by Luo Xiaoran:

"Okay, both of you stop arguing, the city gate is not far ahead, Kong Qing, go get the carriage.

I'll have to trouble Chou Li to take the five of us home later."

Because of their gender advantage, Luo Xingchen and Sansi were left in the carriage to accompany the patient Sun Qingyuan.

Only Luo Xiaoran and Du Kongqing, who was driving, were left outside alone to enjoy the autumn scenery.

The bustling life in the city, and the boundless autumn scenery after leaving the city.

Finally, Luo Xingchen said that he wanted to stay outside with his sister and "suffer".

So he also crawled out, leaving Sun Qingyuan and his servant to "enjoy themselves" in the carriage.

Before they reached the city gate, several people were blocked.

On the small street, a large group of people were gathered together.

The few standing ones were holding whips, and the ones squatting had their hands and feet chained.

"Xiao Ran, what are they doing?"

Du Kongqing stared at the group of people and felt very strange.

"They are from the Dongfeng Caravan."

Before Luo Xiaoran could say anything, Sun Qingyuan, who heard the noise, poked his head out of the car with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Dongfeng Caravan?" Luo Xiaoran asked in a questioning tone.

Sun Qingyuan introduced very tactfully: "The Dongfeng Caravan is a group of merchants traveling from south to north. It seems that they brought some people from the south this time."

people?

Luo Xiaoran continued to ask: "Is it someone who sells herself?"

"It seems like the Dongfeng caravan is all over Daliang, doing not only cargo business but also human trafficking," Sun Qingyuan replied.

Luo Xiaoran nodded to show that she understood:

"The northern territory is vast and sparsely populated. Trafficking people from the south here might be a way to increase the population."

Sun Qingyuan raised his eyelids and looked at Luo Xiaoran with an inquiring gaze.

From the first time they met, he felt that this little girl was extraordinary. Not only did she have martial arts skills, but even her casual conversations in daily life were always to the point. It was impossible to regard her as an ordinary young lady.

“I see Master Sun is still interested in visiting the temple fair today, so I guess his back injury has mostly recovered.

Why not resume teaching in a few days, after I move into my new home?"

"Listen to Miss Luo."
