Nothing happened overnight.

The next morning, the exile team started on their journey after breakfast.

The yamen runners went to the early market in the morning and bought some vegetables, rice, liquor, salt and other daily necessities, so they set out later today than yesterday.

Exiled prisoners could also ask yamen runners to buy the items they needed, but they would have to spend more money.

The yamen runners returned to the post station with their bags and were talking about Xu Youshan, the only son of the Yanzhou prefect whom they met at the early morning market.

The southern part of Dasheng is vast and sparsely populated. Yanzhou is the central city used by Emperor Qingning to control the southern part of Dasheng. The prefect of Yanzhou, Xu, has great power and can be said to be a local emperor.

Magistrate Xu had many wives and concubines, but few children. He only had one son, Xu Youshan, so he naturally doted on him.

"Tsk tsk, the son of the prefect of Yanzhou, Master Xu Youshan, is no less impressive than the young masters in the capital."

"Oh, coming out of the brothel early in the morning, returning home with a beautiful woman in a luxurious car, it's really a glamorous and ostentatious scene!"

"I saw that even the maids around her were wearing jade bracelets of excellent quality."

"I heard that Master Xu was addicted to alcohol, and Prefect Xu was plundering the people for old and fine wine. I smelled the fragrance of peach wine wafting from Master Xu's flower car, and I felt that the liquor in the wine bag was no longer fragrant."

......

Jiang Lili was already crying with envy just by listening to the conversation between the yamen runners. What kind of life is this for a top-notch second-generation rich person?

Although they were envious, Jiang Lili and her group were rushed on the road by the yamen runners.

As soon as the exile team left the outskirts of the city, a drizzle began to fall from the sky, and even the air became a little cold and gloomy.

Marquis Zhaoping frowned as he carried his wife Yang on his back. Yang's complexion looked better after the nourishing meal brought by Jiang Lili. Now she was going to get wet in the rain again. Who could stand it?

Seeing this, Jiang Lili sent a message to Xiaopang, asking him to help buy a raincoat, a hot pack and a light umbrella.

As a result, in less than half a quarter of an hour, Xiaopang sent all these things over. There were not only hot packs, but also pain-relieving plasters specially prepared for chronic cold legs.

Jiang Lili was stunned by the speed of response!

【@江麗麗: Xiaopang, at this speed, you must be living in a supermarket! 】

【@张小胖: Shocked! Sister Li, how did you know? In order to support you at any time, I now live in the supermarket warehouse opened by my grandfather. I help with the inventory, and my grandfather praised me for being filial! 】

Jiang Lili was amazed at Xiaopang's execution ability, but then she thought that it was related to Xiaopang's family business, so it was normal for Xiaopang to be serious.

Jiang Lili distributed hot packs and raincoats to Xin Che and others and taught them how to use them.

Everyone should stick the hot pack on the abdomen, back of the waist and other parts that are easily affected by cold.

The hot pack warms up quickly.

Marquis Zhaoping was surprised that this small patch could generate heat so quickly. "If the soldiers stationed at the border in the cold winter could have this magical heating patch to keep the cold away during the march, I wonder how many troubles it would solve!"

"I don't know which skilled craftsman made it. I heard that your grandfather traveled a lot when he was young, so he must have met many skilled craftsmen."

Jiang Lili now attributed the sudden appearance of these supplies to someone her grandfather had arranged for them. She also carefully researched the background of the original owner's mother's family before coming up with this excuse.

The original owner's mother came from the Min family, a century-old family with a strong heritage. Her maternal grandfather, Min Xunli, was a leisurely child from a noble family. He traveled around and made many powerful friends. His maternal grandfather wrote several travel notes that were widely circulated among the people.

Old Man Min is a rebellious old man. Now he is over 60 years old, but he still likes to travel around. No matter how the Min family members try to persuade him, he won't listen and just lets him go.

It’s just that the original owner’s mother did not have a good relationship with the Min family, so the original owner had little contact with the Min family.

Marquis Zhaoping warned the others earnestly: "This thing must not be known to outsiders. Everyone should be careful about what they say and do, and don't cause trouble for your sister-in-law."

Jiang Lili was also enlightened by Marquis Zhaoping that things that seem ordinary in daily life would not be a winning weapon if placed in ancient times.

Jiang Lili was secretly shocked. She was glad that she was cautious, and that she had an omnipotent grandfather who served as an excuse to cover up her lies.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. It was not the first time that Wang Zifu had escorted convicts. On the way, he found a dilapidated temple and let the exile team go in to rest.

Although he didn't care about the life or death of individual prisoners, he would not be able to report to the emperor if there were only a few people left in the entire team.

A bonfire was lit in the dilapidated temple, and people gathered around it.

We were caught in the rain on the road, our clothes were wet, and the temperature dropped sharply, so some people were shivering with cold.

However, with a ruthless man like Wang Zifu in charge, no one dared to make too much noise. Instead, they competed secretly and tried their best to squeeze towards the bonfire in the middle of the temple.

The people from Marquis Zhaoping's mansion had hot water bottles with them and found a relatively open place to rest in peace.

At this time, Xin Che pulled Jiang Lili's sleeve and whispered to her.

"I know your backpack is magical. But in the future, you should take care of yourself first and don't have to take out everything."

"If you want to take it, tell me first and I'll cover for you."

After Xin Che finished speaking, he saw Jiang Lili's profile close to him and realized that he was a little too close to Jiang Lili. He turned his head away, but was afraid that Jiang Lili didn't hear him, so he whispered, "Did you remember it?"

Jiang Lili was surprised to hear this. Was Xin Che asking her to protect herself first before taking care of others?

After careful consideration, Jiang Lili was deeply moved and a feeling of admiration ignited in her heart.

Xin Che is worthy of being the patron saint of the people living in the border areas. He loves every citizen equally and never puts his personal interests before the lives of the people!

Jiang Lili was willing to help the Xin family because she and the Xin family shared a common interest, they could protect her, and their character was trustworthy. Otherwise, if it were someone else, she would not let anything slip from her fingers.

"Yes! I remember it!"

Jiang Lili's tone was full of respect and her eyes were as firm as steel. The charming atmosphere of the couple's whispers disappeared.

Xin Che was stunned and said nothing. This girl's expression suddenly sublimated several levels. Where did her thoughts go?

"jingle--"

At this moment, the sound of crisp bells suddenly rang out outside the dilapidated temple, accompanied by a man's hearty laughter and the giggles of several women.

The people in the dilapidated temple suddenly became quiet.

Then, a magnificent carriage stopped outside the gate of the dilapidated temple.

The coachman jumped down from the carriage and put the stepping-stool in place.

"Sir, we've arrived."

It was a long time since the coachman finished speaking, and then a man in a lake blue robe came out of the carriage, holding an oil-paper umbrella and holding a graceful woman in his arms.

Wang Zifu, who had stood up alertly, saw the man and his expression turned into confusion: "Master Xu?"

"Are you also coming to this temple to take shelter from the rain?"

The visitor was none other than Xu Youshan, the beloved only son of the prefect of Yanzhou.

He seemed to be drunk as he staggered into the temple without even glancing at Wang Zifu. His slanted eyes searched the crowded, dilapidated temple.

Catching sight of Marquis Zhaoping's family far away from the crowd, his eyes were fixed on Xin Che.

Xu Youshan gave a wicked smile, and it looked like he was going to do something bad.

He was obsessed with martial arts novels since he was young, so Prefect Xu hired a famous teacher to train him. Xu Youshan likes to be lazy, but he likes to show off even more.

In order to show off, Xu Youshan persisted in learning martial arts and participated in the selection of martial arts champion.

His opponents in the Yanzhou competition area either surrendered or showed weakness, so he went to Beijing for the selection smoothly, where he met Xin Che, who was only fourteen years old at the time.

Xu Youshan was kicked off the stage by Xin Che and fell on his butt.

He will never forget such a great humiliation!

He finally got the chance.
