Ye Fei did not take action this time.

The female prisoner and the police officer had a mutual agreement, and there was no need for her, an outsider, to meddle in their affairs.

After this beginning, more and more female prisoners began to stir.

Because they truly saw hope.

The young female prisoner who had been released from prison did get a sip of water.

Not much though.

But in such hot conditions, a sip of water is enough to make the female prisoner excited and crazy.

Although the escorts also lacked water, their situation was much better than that of the exiles.

When a young woman comes to them on her own initiative, they naturally won't miss the opportunity to take advantage of her.

Without the constraints of propriety, morality, and shame, the female prisoners seemed to live a happier and easier life.

They fooled around with the guards and even showed long-lost smiles on their faces.

The sounds of laughter, coquetry, and flattery could be heard faintly:

"whee……"

"I hate it..."

"You are bad……"

Hearing voices like these, Ye Fei began to question her life.

If he hadn't seen everyone's situation, Ye Fei would really have thought that this was not the road to exile but a brothel in the city.

As usual, Ye Qingyun and Lin Xue'e covered Ye Fei and Ye Ling's ears and prevented them from looking in the direction of the escort.

On the other hand, the Ye family also felt that the behavior of the female prisoners was immoral.

However, they only murmured and cursed quietly.

Wang Xiangjun sighed: "This is really a bad start."

"Fortunately, these self-deprecating female prisoners seem to be just side branches of the family or maids who have been implicated."

"If even a girl from a wealthy family were to do such a thing on her way to exile..."

"That... is really embarrassing."

Ye Fei knew that except for her, a person who had traveled from modern times, everyone present would probably sneer at the female prisoner's behavior.

But Ye Fei felt that only by living could people have hope and be qualified to talk big.

Moreover, in the long river of history, there are often classic stories of celebrities such as sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, and enduring humiliation under the crotch.

Although the female convict is not as good as these celebrities.

However, as a vulnerable group, they made such a choice after weighing the pros and cons for their own survival. Ye Fei felt that their sins were not so serious as to incur the wrath of God and man.

Survival is human instinct.

But Ye Fei knew that if the escorts could not find sufficient water, even if the female prisoners were willing to sacrifice themselves in exchange for water, the escorts would not agree.

In this slightly weird and abrupt atmosphere, Ye Fei and his group arrived near Liangcheng.

The appearance of Liangcheng made the exiles cheer.

Where there is a city, there are people, and where there are people, there is water and food.

"Finally, I saw a decent city."

"Such a large city cannot be short of water."

"When I saw the city, I felt full of strength."

"Let's go faster, let's go faster..."

The half-dead convicts all became more energetic after seeing Liangcheng.

But Ye Fei felt that it was too early for the convicts to be happy.

She had discovered long ago that the route taken by the exiles was not the common road.

Otherwise, the places they stayed along the way would not have been so simple and desolate.

The emperor's order of exile was intended to subject the exiles to physical and mental torture.

It is not to allow exiles to come out for fun.

The best proof is that it took them so long to finally see a decent city.

Sure enough, the escorts had no intention of taking the exiles into Liangcheng, but instead ordered them to settle down near Liangcheng.

"Sir, why don't we go into the city?"

"We can hold on until we enter the city."

Some of the fugitives dared to ask.

The guard rolled his eyes at the prisoner who asked the question and snorted in annoyance:

"Do you think I don't want to go into the city?"

"How can we get into the city with so many of you prisoners?"

"Do you want to cause a sensation and crowds among the people in Liangcheng?"

"Just wait here."

“We will send people into the city to engage with local officials.”

"As for whether you can get water and food, it depends on your luck."

The words of the escorts clearly distinguished themselves from the exiles.

Ye Fei didn't find it strange at all.

In any case, the escorts were regular officials appointed by the imperial court to escort fugitives.

After entering Liangcheng, they will definitely be able to obtain food and water from the Liangcheng government.

Soon, a team of escorts headed towards Liangcheng.

The remaining escorts stayed behind to supervise the fugitives.

The exiles were originally full of hope.

After hearing what the escorts said, they all became like deflated balls.

However, Ye Fei still saw desire and expectation in the eyes of the exiles.

"Drive, drive..."

The sound of horse hooves came from far away.

Ye Fei looked in the direction of the voice and found that a group of impressive people were galloping towards them from a distance.

She had no interest in these people after just one glance.

When the other exiles heard the sound of horse hooves, they just looked at it and continued to sit there waiting for news from Liangcheng.

However, the galloping troops did not go straight ahead.

For some unknown reason, they sent people to attack Ye Fei and the other exiles.

Ye Fei frowned.

She saw those men riding over on horses to negotiate with the escorts.

The bailiff frowned and shook his head at first.

But later, after accepting the benefits from the visitor, they nodded in agreement.

Such commotion naturally caught the attention of the convicts.

Ye Qingyun cursed: "Damn it."

"Will these escorts sell us out again?"

"They just restrained themselves because of those strange deaths, but now they immediately forget about it after seeing the benefits?"

"You really don't learn your lesson at all..."

Ye Fei curled the corners of his mouth.

Those jailers are not without memory.

When faced with visible benefits, they will always automatically block out things that may affect their decision-making.

Anyway, no matter what kind of deal was reached between the bailiff and the people on horseback, Ye Fei would not get involved.

She would not let Ye Qingyun, Lin Xue'e and Ye Ling come to any harm.

As expected, the escorts brought the horsemen to the group of exiles.

They started to introduce themselves with some enthusiasm: "Your good luck is here."

"These are the followers of Li Tai, the richest man in Liangcheng."

"Master Li Tai and his group happened to see us on their way back to Liangcheng."

"So, he sent someone over to say hello."

"Their Master Li Tai is not far away. Are you willing to play with Master Li?"

"If Master Li Tai is happy and satisfied, you will be able to get the water and food you want."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't miss it."

The bailiff's words were full of misleading intentions.

The most important thing is that the bailiff spoke in a kind tone instead of a commanding tone.

The sun is really coming out in the west!
