"We'll leave the capital soon." Shang Ruoyi said calmly, "Now that you're awake, eat something!"

She handed the bun over. He Jingheng looked at it for a long while, and then seemed to come back to his senses. He snorted coldly: "Since the goal has been achieved, why do you still need to come to exile and suffer? Don't you think you haven't hurt us enough?"

"With your intelligence, you should know that I didn't do this." She stuffed the steamed bun into his hand: "Even if it wasn't me, there would be others. It's just a formality."

He Jingheng looked at her coldly: "You are quite self-aware."

Shang Ruoyi said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, my lord. After we settle down in the place of exile, we will divorce. I will not be a burden to you."

Don't try to drag me down. I still want to travel around the beautiful country.

Of course, she only said this in her heart.

Peace and separation?

When He Jingheng heard these two words, he was stunned for a moment for some reason.

After realizing what was happening, he said with a little anger: "It's up to you."

Shang Ruoyi handed him the water bag: "Drink some water."

Aunt Zhang and the other three were also given a water bag and a white flour bun each.

"It's just this thing, it's dry, how can anyone swallow it!" Aunt Zhang said resentfully: "The servants in the mansion won't eat such a thing."

His son He Qinian and daughter-in-law Lin Shuyu ate steamed buns in silence, drinking a sip of water from time to time.

I just heard Aunt Zhang talking to herself there.

"Ouch, my legs hurt!"

“My legs are going to break off.”

"Pah, pah, pah, is this for humans or dogs?"

Not far from Aunt Zhang, there were a few prisoners eating cakes. They pouted and said, "Tsk, you still think you are the lady! You are not satisfied with eating white flour buns."

When Aunt Zhang heard this, she immediately turned around, looked at the dirty prisoner and said, "You are a bunch of beggars. I am the concubine of the Prince Ding's mansion. I am different from the lowly bodies of you lowly people."

When those people heard that they were from Prince Ding’s Palace, their eyes immediately became fierce.

murderous look!

Shang Ruoyi immediately became alert.

Not only the three men just now, more than half of the exiled prisoners looked at them with anger.

What's happening here?

Everyone in the Dingguo Palace who noticed something was wrong were a little confused.

Aunt Zhang finally got a little scared and shut up awkwardly.

"Zhang, you are so outspoken!" The old princess said in a deep voice, "If you can't speak, shut up."

He Jingheng's leg was broken, and now He Qinian was the only male left, and his martial arts skills were not very good.

If they arouse public anger during exile, what will these old, weak, women and children do?

Obviously, Aunt Zhang also realized the seriousness of the matter. She lowered her head and dared not say a word.

Just then, a whip sounded from the front.

"Get up, get up! Let's get going!" The officer took the whip and picked out a few slow movements and then swung it down.

"Move quickly!"

It was getting dark, and there were often wild wolves here. If we didn't leave now, we would be in danger.

But there are always some people in the exile team who are physically exhausted.

He fell behind the team, and the officers became anxious and whipped him.

But the injuries worsened and he walked even slower.

There were three or four such prisoners in the entire exile team, so they did not get out of the woods before dark.

The sky gradually darkens until the last ray of light sinks into the ground, and it is time for wild animals to forage for food.

"Hurry up, we're only one mile away from rest." The officer's voice mixed with the sound of whipping made people feel creepy.

Shang Ruoyi didn't feel tired. She secretly added spiritual spring water to her water bag several times along the way. She felt refreshed every time she drank it.

Although the other people in Dingguo Palace did not drink as much as she did, they did not look tired, especially He Qinian. He thought that he had become stronger, as he did not feel any numbness after carrying He Jingheng for such a long time.

But the physical strength of the others had obviously reached its limit. At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from the depths of the woods.

Shang Ruoyi immediately became alert.

He Jingheng, who also heard the voice, saw her face change and raised his eyebrows slightly.

She heard the sound before she did.

It seems that Yunqi's words are somewhat credible.

Shang Ruoyi moved towards the old princess and Qin without leaving a trace.

He Jingheng saw this subtle move and was slightly angry. Was this woman trying to use them as a shield? How despicable.

At this time, a wolf howl was heard in the distance.

Oops!

Wolves are social animals. Whenever I heard such wolf howls in my previous life, they would attract a large number of wolves.

Shang Ruoyi blocked them behind her, looking ahead intently, her heart sinking slightly.

If she wanted to get out, it would be easy.

But with so many people in Dingguo Palace, none of them were able to do anything.

It is extremely difficult to protect it.

Looking at her movements, He Jingheng paused, realizing that he had underestimated her.

The officials were also at a loss when they saw this.

They looked at each other, gave up on the person who couldn't walk anymore, and shouted, "Run! We're only a few hundred meters away from safety! Hurry!"

The people, who had already been frightened by the wolves, heard that there was still a glimmer of hope for survival. They found strength from nowhere and ran forward desperately.

The few people who were abandoned were caught up by the wolves and eaten by them.

But with dozens of wolves, how could those few people be enough?

Another wolf howl was heard, and dozens of wolves jumped over the bodies of the people and ran towards the crowd.

Shang Ruoyi always paid attention to the movements behind her.

Seeing a few more people fall into the wolves' mouths, the uneasiness in my heart gradually grew.

Simply running away was not a solution. How could they run as fast as wolves? Moreover, they were all shackled on their feet, so they couldn't run fast at all.

Soon, they were surrounded by wolves.

Unlike other animals, wolves are a species with a very strict hierarchy and will fight in coordination.

The sky had completely darkened, and the wolves' eyes were glowing an oily green light, looking extremely creepy.

Many people started crying.

Even He Yunyi, who usually kept silent, began to sob quietly.

At this time, several wolves suddenly pounced on them.

The officers wielded their swords and tried their best to chop them down.

The smell of blood directly stimulated the wild wolves waiting for battle.

They were seen digging the ground with their front paws. Suddenly, a sharp wolf howl came from behind, and the wild wolves rushed towards them in a swarm.

In this case, the officers were no match for them; the speed at which they swung their swords could not match the speed at which the wolves pounced on them.

"Ah! Help!" A man's shrill voice was heard.

He saw his leg being held tightly in the wolf's mouth, and the next moment, another wolf bit his throat directly.

People who saw this scene were stunned.

Shang Ruoyi turned around and said to the people in Dingguo Palace, "There are many stones on the roadside. If a wolf comes close to you, hit it with stones, hit it hard.
