The ancestor is here, she is here with space

The Dog Emperor's eyes were like ice, sharp enough to penetrate a person's soul. He glanced at the kneeling crowd of people in the palace, and finally fixed his gaze on the commander of the guards.

His voice was deep and majestic, and he ordered without question: "Investigate for me, dig three feet deep into the ground to find the thief who dared to steal the throne."

The words of the Dog Emperor echoed in the hall, shocking people like thunder and making them irresistible.

The guard commander trembled. He knew that the emperor's order could not be disobeyed. He lowered his head and responded with a trembling voice: "I...I obey your order."

As the guard commander's voice fell, the atmosphere in the hall became more depressing.

The eunuchs and palace maids kneeling on the ground felt a strong sense of oppression in their hearts. They breathed rapidly and their foreheads were covered with fine beads of sweat.

Their faces were as pale as paper, their legs kept shaking, and they longed to escape from this suffocating place immediately.

However, at this moment, they did not dare to make any move and could only continue to kneel.

The emperor glanced coldly at the crowd, and seeing that they were all frightened by him, his anger grew even stronger.

He shouted sternly: "What are you still kneeling here for? Hurry up and find me, get out!"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, everyone seemed to be relieved and rushed to the door, tumbling and crawling.

-------------------------------------

The sky was just getting light, and the faint dawn light had just pierced the night sky. The roar of the official had already exploded like thunder in the silence of the early morning: "Hurry up and get up. After you finish eating, we will set off immediately!"

Lin Congyun frowned slightly, sat up lazily from the cushion of the carriage, and looked out the window with sleepy eyes.

The morning mist is lingering, like a veil that has not yet completely dissipated, adding a bit of mystery and tranquility to this early morning.

However, all this was broken by the sudden voice of the official.

"Grandfather, are you awake?" Nanny Bai came over with a bowl of hot porridge.

When Lin Congyun came back last night, it was already morning. He got on the carriage and rested for less than an hour.

Lin Congyun took the porridge handed to him by Nanny Bai and took a sip.

Although the taste is light, it seems particularly precious on this road of exile.

"Mammy, was there any noise last night?" Lin Congyun asked in a low voice, with a hint of hoarseness in her voice.

Nanny Bai shook her head gently, "Grandfather, everything was normal last night, nothing unusual."

Lin Congyun nodded, then told the others to finish their breakfast as soon as possible and get ready for their journey.

Although they could now ride in a carriage, the space in the carriage was limited and, with the three children, it could only accommodate seven people at most.

Lin Congyun, Fang Xinyu, Fang Xinxin and Fang Xinyue have already occupied four seats, but Zhang's father and mother are old and are relatives of the general's mansion, so they naturally cannot be allowed to walk.

The remaining seat was originally reserved for Nanny Bai, but she firmly refused, insisting that she could not sit in the carriage while her masters were walking outside.

Finally, Lin Congyun decided to let Fang Deyu, Zhang Liucui and her two sisters-in-law, plus Nanny Bai, take turns riding in the carriage.

The sky gradually brightened, and the dawn light spread across the earth, covering the land with a layer of golden glow.

The exile team slowly set off under the urging of the officials.

The carriage bumped along the bumpy road. Lin Congyun in the carriage held the handrail tightly with a frown on his face.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the exile team suddenly stopped.

Lin Congyun lifted the car curtain and said, "Butler Wu, what happened?"

Now the officials asked Lin Congyun and others to ride in the carriage, so Steward Wu and his party no longer had to follow far behind.

Wu Jinjie trotted over, his face somewhat solemn, "Ancestor, we found three broken shackles ahead."

Lin Congyun frowned, his eyes revealing confusion and doubt, "Did someone escape?"

"I heard from the officer that three people disappeared when the wolves attacked last night." Wu Jinjie said in a low voice, "At that time, the officer thought that the people were taken away by the wolves, but today he saw three shackles, so the three people must have escaped in the chaos."

After hearing this, Lin Congyun remained silent, brows furrowed, and it was obvious that he was not surprised by this situation.

Although it was not common for prisoners to escape during exile, it did happen.

Especially in a situation like last night, the officers were busy dealing with the wolf pack's sneak attack, so they naturally relaxed their supervision of the prisoners.

"Have the officials sent people to investigate?" Lin Congyun asked in a deep voice.

Wu Jinjie shook his head. "The police said they would send people to chase him, but it's hard to say whether they can catch him or not."

Lin Congyun nodded slightly, knowing that in this vast land, once the criminal escaped from sight, finding him would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, since these three people were able to break free from their shackles and escape during the chaos last night, they would not be found so easily. It would be very difficult to catch them.

However, when Lin Congyun learned that the three people who escaped were the ones who had come to trouble her on the first day, her heart sank.

She remembered these three people clearly. They came to her arrogantly and wanted to bully them, an orphan and a widow.

After being beaten up, he is now taking advantage of the chaos to escape, which makes Lin Congyun alert.

"Ancestor, will those three people come back to take revenge on us?" Wu Jinjie asked worriedly.

Lin Congyun's eyes were stern, and he said in a cold voice: "If they dare to come, I will make sure they never return."

After hearing this, Wu Jinjie was shocked, knowing that Lin Congyun was not just talking.

If those three people really dare to come back and cause trouble, I'm afraid it will really be like what Lin Congyun said, they will never come back.

At this time, deep in the mountains, Wang Mazi and his two companions were hiding in the bandits' lair, with smiles on their faces that were a mixture of cunning and viciousness.

Last night, taking advantage of the darkness and chaos, they broke the shackles with the help of the bandits and escaped.

These three men were originally bandits, and were used to living on the edge of a knife in these vast mountains and forests.

Their accidental arrest was due to negligence when entering the city.

On the street, they accidentally bumped into a patrolling constable. The constable found the three suspicious and took them to the county government for interrogation.

Upon investigation, it was discovered that the three men were actually bandits, and they were immediately arrested.

In order to save their lives, Wang Mazi and his two companions lied that they were just small-time bandits and had not committed any evil deeds.

However, the government did not buy it and insisted on acting according to the law, and eventually sentenced the three men to exile.

In fact, Wang Mazi was the third in command of this group of bandits, and the mastermind behind the wolf attack was the bandits who came to rescue them.
