You confiscated my property, I exiled you, why are you crying when the treasury is empty?

Su Wanning parked the ox cart under the shade of a tree. Not long after waiting, the two people who were collecting the exit fee at the town gate came over.

One person said, "We collected more today than any other day before."

Another person continued, "You don't know this, right? My brother said that the people being exiled this time are all wealthy. We'll go to the next town tomorrow and continue collecting them."

"Why don't we collect more at once so we don't have to run back and forth?"

"What do you know? They'll think twenty copper coins is nothing and just give it to them, but if you charge more, there will definitely be trouble. Did you really see those two people driving the ox cart towards us just now?"

"I've found out everything. They are part of the exile group and will definitely pass this road on their way back to the inn. We are lucky this time. One of them is the War King's new wife."

It seems that the officials in charge of exile are really good-for-nothings. Not only do they take money, but they also harm innocent people. I don’t know how many girls they have harmed in the past.

Su Wanning walked out from behind the tree, "Are you looking for me?"

The two were startled, but when they saw that Su Wanning was the only one there, they both showed malicious smiles on their faces and rubbed their hands as they moved closer to Su Wanning.

Su Wanning laughed and shouted, "Sister! Come on!"

Zhan Yiran jumped down from the tree and landed directly in front of them. In the blink of an eye, both of them were knocked to the ground.

Zhan Yiran put the knife on the necks of the two men and asked, "Who is the exiled official who is colluding with you?"

Even before being tortured, the two confessed everything like spilling the beans.

The official who colluded with them was Peng Hai. Every time he exiled them, Peng Hai would contact them in advance and ask them to wait at the inn. In addition to collecting money, the women in the exile team were not spared.

They were criminals to begin with, and no one cared whether they were dead or alive. Even if they had lost their innocence, they could not report it to the authorities in time. When they were exiled, no one would pay attention to them even if they reported it to the authorities. Moreover, most of the women who had lost their innocence would not live to see that time.

"We've already said it, Lady, please let us two brothers live."

"What's the use of you if you have confessed?" Zhan Yiran slashed with his sword, and the two men died on the spot.

Su Wanning looked at the two people dying in front of her and her face turned pale. Although she had seen many murder scenes on TV and often encountered patients who died suddenly in the hospital, none of them were as shocking as this time.

Zhan Yiran, as if nothing had happened, tied the bodies of the two men to a big rock with a rope and threw them into the river not far away.

He returned to the original place, covered the bloodstains on the road with soil, and pulled the ox cart out of the jungle. After doing all this, he looked at Su Wanning, who still looked unhappy.

Zhan Yiran suddenly felt guilty. She had forgotten that Su Wanning had lived in the countryside since she was a child. Naturally, it was not like living in a house where beating slaves to death was a common occurrence.

"Are you okay?" He reached out and helped Su Wanning up.

Su Wanning shook her head and got on the ox cart. When she returned to the inn, Su Wanning was still thinking about what had just happened.

But his complexion looked a little better than before.

After Zhan Yiran returned, he told Zhan Beiwang about what happened and asked him to pay more attention to Su Wanning when he went to bed at night.

The food at the inn had to be purchased separately, so the two of them packed a meal in town and brought it back to eat in Zhan Yiran and their room.

Su Wanning lost her appetite after eating a few bites because of what happened in the afternoon. She picked up some food for Zhan Beiwang and took it back to the room.

Zhan Bei saw Su Wanning sitting alone on a stool, and she had been in a daze since he started eating.

"A Ning, do you want to take a bath?"

After Su Wanning came to her senses, she remembered that she had originally planned to take a good shower at the inn.

He called the waiter, took out a few dozen copper coins, and asked the waiter to bring hot water quickly.

I felt the water in the bathtub and found it was just the right temperature, so I reached out to take off my clothes.

Suddenly, she remembered that there was someone lying on the bed. She turned around and found Zhan Beiwang looking at Su Wanning expectantly. She quickly closed her eyes after being discovered.

But Su Wanning pulled out the screen to cover herself, and a quarter of an hour later, Su Wanning came out of the bathtub.

The room was filled with steam and it was a little hot after taking a bath. Su Wanning was only wearing a modern suspender pajamas. She remembered that there was a basin of hot water in the room ready to be poured into the bath tub, and the water was still warm.

Zhan Beiwang hadn't washed for a long time, so it was just right to use this basin of water to wash him.

Zhan Beiwang, who was originally staring at the roof in a daze, came out from behind the screen with water in his hand. When he heard the noise, he looked over and his face suddenly turned red. He quickly turned his head away.

Thinking that Su Wanning was his wife, there was nothing he couldn't see, so he turned his face back.

Her earlobes were red and bleeding. "You...why are you coming out like this?"

Su Wanning only then realized that this was not modern times, and here even arms could not be exposed.

Su Wanning, who originally wanted to go back behind the screen to change her clothes, looked at Zhan Beiwang's wandering eyes that refused to focus on her, and immediately felt like teasing him.

Putting the water on the ground, she twisted her body and sat on the edge of the bed, "Your Highness, don't you like me wearing this?"

His hand slid down Zhan Beiwang's rolling Adam's apple. Zhan Beiwang grabbed the bed sheet with both hands. Although he was now on his hands and on his body, it should be fine if he moved gently.

He let go of his hands, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and waited for Su Wanning's next move.

After waiting for a long time without feeling Su Wanning's next move, he opened one eye and looked around, but there was no trace of Su Wanning.

At this time, Su Wanning had already changed into a set of underwear that belonged to this era and walked out from behind the screen.

Put the water on a stool and take out the towel and put it in the basin.

"Take off your clothes, I'll clean you up." His tone was light, completely lacking the gentle whisper from before.

Zhan Beiwang closed his eyes again and opened them again, but the scene remained unchanged. Could it be that everything just now was just his imagination?

Su Wanning reached out to untie Zhan Beiwang's clothes, thinking to herself, now I can finally feast my eyes.

His hand reached into the air but was stopped by Zhan Beiwang again, "Aning, I can do it myself."

As he said this, he stood up from the bed and moved behind the screen with the basin of water.

Su Wanning looked at Zhan Beiwang who was able to walk well. It was not that he could walk, but wasn't it said that after being beaten with a stick, he could only lie down and not move?

He yawned and lay down on the bed.

Zhan Beiwang quickly washed herself. The image of Su Wanning wearing a suspender kept recurring in her mind. Could it be that she really imagined it?

After coming out from behind the screen, Su Wanning was already asleep, and Zhan Beiwang hugged Su Wanning and fell asleep.

Maybe because of what happened during the day, Su Wanning didn’t sleep very well.

When she woke up, Zhan Beiwang was still sleeping. She quietly took away the arms and legs that were stretched on Zhan Beiwang, tiptoed to put on her clothes and walked out the door.
