Confiscated my property and exiled me, I emptied the emperor's old nest to escape famine

Ye Qingyun's body shook.

Then, he immediately stepped forward and replied with a simple and honest smile:

"To answer your question, sir, we found these two water bags on the road."

"We know that it is very hard for you officials to escort so many fugitives along the way."

"So I kept these two water bags without permission."

"We just hope that we can find a water source along the way to reduce the burden on the officials."

"Although we are few in number, we can help you reduce the burden a lot."

"But, this is our small token of appreciation after all."

Ye Qingyun and Ye Qingfeng have completely different personalities.

This is what Ye Fei discovered at the beginning.

Ye Qingyun always had an honest expression on his face to disguise himself.

Moreover, he speaks better than Ye Qingfeng.

Although the escorts looked unhappy, they finally did not turn hostile after hearing what Ye Qingyun said.

The escort who asked the question spoke in a slower tone: "Is that so?"

"However, you exiles are not eligible to have your own water bag."

"Now, hand over your water bags."

Ye Qingyun took a few steps forward again and approached the bailiff.

Then, he secretly handed over a piece of silver covered with dirt and whispered:

"Sir, this is the silver we found when we picked up the water bag."

"We are exiles now, there is no point in keeping us."

"In fact, we have always wanted to honor you, but because so many things happened, we didn't have the time."

Ye Qingyun said as he untied the water bag from his waist and shook it: "The water bag is now empty."

"Sir, why don't you just leave these two water bags to us?"

The bailiff took Ye Qingyun's change calmly, then took Ye Qingyun's water bag and shook it.

The water bag is indeed empty.

The bailiff threw the water bag back to Ye Qingyun: "Okay then, you can keep these two water bags for now."

Then, the guard asked again with some confusion: "She just said that you often eat secretly."

"How is this going?"

"Where did you get your stuff?"

"What are you eating?"

Ye Qingyun denied it outright: "How is that possible?"

"Where can we get food to eat while on the road of exile?"

"Sir, she must be dazzled and seeing things wrong."

Ye Fei felt that there should be applause at this moment.

Ye Qingyun's performance was very good.

Ye Qingfeng also spoke up to defend them: "Sir, I can testify that they really didn't eat."

"If we eat it, will we be able to see it?"

"Even if they ate it, they must have eaten leaves or grass cores on the road."

"Although we are now exiles, there is no rule that we cannot eat these, right?"

Then, Ye Qingfeng looked at the informant Wu Xiuhua with a bad look:

"If you want to eat it, you can also eat the leaves and grass hearts."

"We are generous and will not have any objections."

Ye Fei gritted his teeth when he heard this.

She would rather Ye Qingfeng didn't speak.

Ye Qingfeng has spoken many times along the way.

Ye Fei believed that even if the exiled people did not know Ye Qingfeng’s past identity, they were almost familiar with him now.

Ye Fei didn't want to become the focus of the exile crowd and attract the attention of others because of Ye Qingfeng.

The bailiff felt that what Ye Qingfeng and Ye Qingyun said made sense.

They also didn't think that Ye Fei's family would be able to get anything to eat during their exile.

So the escort waved his hand and let Ye Qingyun return to his seat.

The exile Wu Xiuhua was unwilling to accept this outcome.

She screamed wildly, "Did you see it? Did you all see it?"

"These escorts are blatantly covering up and being biased."

"Why! Why?"

Due to lack of water, Wu Xiuhua's voice was hoarse and weak.

But even so, her expression was still ferocious, terrifying and vicious as she stared at Ye Fei's family.

That look was like that of a poisonous snake, as if it wanted to eat Ye Fei's family alive.

Ye Fei looked straight into Wu Xiuhua's eyes.

She didn't mind at all and killed Wu Xiuhua immediately.

Ye Ling was frightened by Wu Xiuhua's eyes.

He rubbed Ye Fei's arm: "Sister, she is so scary."

"Why is she looking at us like that?"

"It's not like we don't give her water."

Ye Fei gently touched Ye Ling's head: "She...she is just jealous of us."

"Don't be afraid. The more afraid you are, the more proud she will be."

Ye Fei thought Wu Xiuhua was quite ridiculous.

Now everyone is a fugitive.

There is no requirement for unity and mutual support.

At the very least, there is no need for her to take advantage of others' misfortune.

Wu Xiuhua didn't have the courage to confront the bailiff.

But he had the courage to come after them, who were also exiles.

I really can't stand seeing others doing well!

As the saying goes, laugh at people who have nothing, and hate people who have something.

I'm talking about people like Wu Xiuhua.

If only Wu Xiuhua had the courage to fight the bailiffs like the prisoners just now.

Then Ye Fei would look at her differently.

Maybe she would lend a hand when the time is right.

And now, Ye Fei just wants Wu Xiuhua to disappear.

The escorts looked at Wu Xiuhua, who was like a crazy woman, and shouted impatiently, "Shut up."

"If you say that again, you'll be in trouble."

But Wu Xiuhua no longer cared.

Perhaps because of the stimulation of solar eclipse and drought and water shortage, Wu Xiuhua was extremely afraid of the unknown dangers.

She repeated frantically: "That's what I want to say, that's what I want to say..."

"What can you do to me? Kill me?"

A bailiff licked his dry lips.

Then he pulled out his sword and chopped Wu Xiuhua down:

"Since you want to die, I will grant your wish."

Wu Xiuhua's screams stopped abruptly.

The exiled crowd suddenly quieted down.

Although Wu Xiuhua's voice was unpleasant due to lack of water, her crazy screams were even more noisy and annoying.

But she was killed by the bailiff with a single knife, which still made the other prisoners feel sad.

However, it was difficult for Ye Fei to feel sympathy for Wu Xiuhua.

All of this was caused by Wu Xiuhua herself.

If she hadn't jumped out and complained, he wouldn't have lost his life in the end.

After Ye Qingyun returned to Ye Fei's side, he bowed towards Ye Qingfeng, thanking him for his words of help.

But when he turned around, he started to whisper to Ye Fei again: "Really, who told him to speak?"

"In fact, it's better if he doesn't say anything."

"Now, we owe him a favor."

Ye Fei didn't know what to say.

She had never thought about having any connection with the Ye family's direct or other branch branches.

However, as the Path of Exile progressed, their family seemed to have increased their interactions with the direct descendants of the Ye family.

The prisoners' attack on the escort this time changed the escort's attitude towards the exiles.

They took out the ropes they had collected earlier, and then looked at the prisoners coldly:

"Since you don't know what's good for you, let's tie the ropes together again."

"I noticed that you were very strong just now. You didn't look weak from lack of water at all."

"I hope you can muster this kind of energy to travel on your journey of exile."

"I warn you, don't play dead."

"If anyone dares to pretend to be dead, I will make him really die."
