The whole class traveled through time, the prince's wife was exiled to the wasteland and became

As soon as Xu Youshan said this, everyone in Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion changed their expressions.

Chen looked at Yang who was lying there. With the food sent by Jiang Lili's grandfather, Yang's complexion did look much better, but this was not a solution after all.

The conditions proposed by Xu Youshan are indeed tempting.

If I could save my mother's life, what would be the difficulty in kneeling down?

When Jiang Lili heard the conditions offered by Xu Youshan, a look of contemplation flashed across her eyes. Then, she quietly pulled Xin Che's hand and wrote the four words "delay time" on Xin Che's palm.

Wang Zifu heard Xu Youshan's words and asked curiously, "Master Xu, are you going to go with our exile team?"

This road of exile is difficult to travel, and it gets more and more remote. It is not a suitable route for sightseeing. If this Master Xu follows them, they will have to take care of him for the sake of the Yanzhou prefect, and the task will be heavy.

"Don't worry, I've brought a highly skilled guard with me on this trip."

Xu Youshan waved his fan and said, "In addition, there is also a top chef from the seafood restaurant accompanying us. We have also prepared enough wine, meat and ingredients. We can improve the meals for everyone on the way."

"But traveling together will cause some trouble to Chief Wang, so I'd like to ask you to accept this little bit of hard work."

He winked at the beautiful maid beside him, and the maid took out a heavy purse from her waist and walked to Wang Zifu and other yamen runners to distribute gold leaves.

The yamen runners took the gold leaves and smiled from ear to ear. Wang Zifu, as the leader, took more, and he was even more polite to Xu Youshan.

None of their yamen runners can cook. They are just big men with rough skills. Their standard for making fire and cooking is just to make sure the food is cooked through, but there is no taste to speak of. Now that Master Xu has brought a cook and wine and meat, their living conditions on the road will improve a lot.

Xu Youshan came here with the intention of humiliating Xin Che.

Beating Xin Che directly would not be enough to vent his anger, and if the person was seriously injured, he would have to treat him. If he could not save the person, he might get into trouble. After all, the late emperor had ordered that heroes who founded the country and suppressed rebellions should not be killed.

He wanted to see Xin Che forced to give up his dignity and kneel down to beg him, only then could he get rid of the hatred he had for the past.

"Well, what do you think?"

Xu Youshan looked at Jiang Lili with a smile: "Speak up, weren't you quite talkative just now?"

After getting back on his feet, Xu Youshan calmed down a bit. He asked sarcastically, "Why, for the sake of your so-called face, you disregarded your mother-in-law's life and don't want to kneel?"

Jiang Lili actually spoke up: "I have a question."

"If you can do what you said and make mother better, then your conditions are fine. But——"

Jiang Lili's tone was full of doubt: "How can I believe that you will do your best to treat him after all of us in the prefecture kowtow and kneel down?"

"Where is the doctor you mentioned? How good is his medical skills?"

"I'm afraid you're pretending to heal us, but are actually fooling around and making fun of us."

Jiang Lili's words woke up Chen and others. Yes, with Mr. Xu's stubborn temper of finding fault, would he really let someone cure Yang?

Xu Youshan felt that Xin Che was really difficult to deal with. "My son's doctor was delayed by something at home. She left a step behind me and hasn't arrived yet."

"Not coming? If not coming, then there is no one. Let's wait until she comes. Mother's illness is not an acute disease. She needs a long period of rest. There is no rush."

Jiang Lili looked unconvinced: "Besides, my mother's illness requires nourishing and rest, and she will definitely need all kinds of precious medicinal materials on the way. Do you have them prepared?"

"My mother's family runs a pharmacy business, so of course we are prepared!"

"My female doctor brought some herbs with her. You can take a look! They are no worse than those used in the capital!"

"Just wait and see."

Faced with Jiang Lili's questioning, Xu Youshan fell into the trap of self-proof, and the two were in a stalemate.

Wang Zifu had already taken the iron pot, spoon and other cooking utensils from the cart to prepare for the evening meal. He walked to Xu Youshan's side and said, "Mr. Xu, we are going to prepare dinner. If you don't mind, would you like to taste our brothers' cooking?"

Wang Zifu's seemingly polite question was actually a reminder. Xu Youshan naturally understood the other party's hint: "Captain Wang is too polite. Let my chef take care of the dinner."

"Ah Hai!"

Xu Youshan called his accompanying cook, and the servant beside him replied: "Sir, Chef Hai said that the mushrooms and game on the nearby hills are particularly delicious, so he went to pick mushrooms."

"Tonight we will make mushroom, ginseng and pheasant soup, and eat it with fresh vegetables. It's so delicious!"

When Wang Zifu and others heard the servant's words, they began to feel greedy.

The exiles were also greedy, but they knew that they could only eat coarse bread and drink rice soup.

At this time, Xin Yan, who was being held by Chen, had a particularly loud "gurgling" sound from his stomach. They had been on the road since breakfast in the morning, and the child was getting hungry quickly.

"What's wrong, are you greedy?" Xu Youshan looked over with his slanted eyes, full of evil, and Xin Yan immediately shrank his neck.

Seeing this, Xu Youshan suddenly came up with an idea. He said to Wang Zifu, "Captain Wang, look at these people. They are obviously prisoners, but they are lazing around in this temple. Aren't they living too comfortably?"

"Chef Hai is going to look for mushrooms alone. He has to prepare dinner for nearly 20 of us. I'm afraid we don't have enough manpower."

Xu Youshan was holding back a bad temper: "Old people can't stand the rain, and it's not right for these young people to be lazy here. Why not let the young and strong men in Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion help us look for mushrooms together."

Wang Zifu knew that Xu Youshan had a connection with the Marquis of Zhaoping Mansion, so he said in agreement, "Great! Great! Jiang Lili, Chen Fulan, Xin Che, Xin Cheng, the four of you step out!"

"Go help Chef Hai find mushrooms."

Wang Zifu was not afraid that Jiang Lili and others would escape. After all, the hostages, Marquis Zhaoping and his wife, were still in his hands.

"Wait." Xu Youshan then added: "I'll give you half an hour to find enough food for 20 people."

"If they are not all found..." Xu Youshan was pondering over the appropriate means of punishment when Lin Gong, the yamen runner who had harassed Jiang Lili before, came over and whispered something to him.

Xu Youshan was immediately overjoyed, "Great!"

"If they are not all present, Jiang will have to partner with Lin Yayi and be responsible for the meals on the road together, helping Lin Yayi!"

Lin Gong showed an obscene smile. Since Jiang Lili was helping him, he had many opportunities to take advantage of her.

Xu Youshan continued, "Poisonous wild mushrooms can easily cause death if eaten by mistake. You must be careful. If Chef Hai finds poisonous mushrooms among the mushrooms you handed in during the final inventory of ingredients..."

Xu Youshan glanced at Xin Che and said, "Then you people in Zhaoping Marquis' Mansion will be responsible for eating up all the poisonous mushrooms!"

Marquis Zhaoping became very worried when he heard what Xu Youshan said. The fungi in the forest were so diverse that even the locals could easily get confused, let alone outsiders like them?

Xu Youshan had anticipated this, so he came up with this idea.
