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

"Mrs. Zhan is so lucky to have caught so much game today."

Song Ying glanced at Zhang Wu, her hands still plucking the chicken feathers. "You're joking, sir. These were all caught by my daughter-in-law and my concubine. It has nothing to do with me."

Zhang Wu smiled bitterly. "You know our leader, Mr. Peng, had a fever last night and is even weaker today. Could you please sell him your pheasants?"

Song Ying stopped what she was doing and looked up at Zhang Wu. "You mean to say that my family spent so much time and effort catching and cleaning pheasants, only to have someone else take advantage of them in the end?"

"How could it be a bargain for others? Master Peng said to buy it with silver." Zhang Wu frowned slightly.

Zhan Beiwang interrupted directly, "You can ask for it, but we don't want silver. However, we have one request, which is that all of us in the Zhan family can use horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts when traveling in the future."

Zhang Wu's mouth twitched when he heard the request. No wonder Peng Hai said he could pay a high price for it. It turned out that he had guessed that they would make demands. "This...I can't make the decision. How about I ask Master Peng for you?"

Zhan Beiwang nodded to Zhang Wu.

After a while, Zhang Wu came back.

He apologized slightly to Zhan Beiwang, "Master Peng said that only one person can ride besides you. If not, this chicken......"

Before Zhang Wu could finish his words, Zhan Beiwang interrupted him, "Okay."

After giving Song Ying a look, Song Ying immediately handed the pheasant to Zhang Wu.

Zhang Wu took the pheasant with a confused look on his face. It seemed that they had already decided that only one person would be needed to sit on it.

After Zhang Wu left, Su Wanning nodded to Zhan Beiwang and said, "Your method is not bad."

Asking for something beyond your expectations will definitely get you the answer you originally wanted.

In this way, if anyone of them felt tired, they could sit on the ox cart for a while and rest.

Su Wanning was so happy that she added a handful of chili peppers to the spicy rabbit meat in the evening.

The result was that everyone took a bite and then a bite, except for Zhan Beiwang who was eating white porridge and looking at them with a resentful look.

In order to maintain his position, Zhang Wu went back and said to Peng Hai,

Zhan Beiwang and others were reluctant at first, but after he told them about Peng Hai's heroic deeds, they agreed to give it to them.

Peng Hai felt proud after hearing this, and his lips curled slightly, "Okay, it's good that you got it, go wash it and stew it."

After hearing this, Zhang Wu happily took the chicken to the river, washed it, and stewed it.

Peng Hai stared at the gurgling chicken soup with his eyes lost in thought.

Since he didn't have to rush today, he had time to think about what happened yesterday.

Thinking about it now, it was obvious that someone didn't want the team to move so fast.

Thinking back to that day when I suddenly heard the sound of a horse neighing in the middle of the night, I was too sleepy at the time and didn’t think too much about it.

They had been with the horses for some time and nothing like this had ever happened to them.

This reminded him of how the horses reacted when the waiter came to the inn to lead the horses and feed them.

There must have been a stranger near that night.

This is what happened to their horses yesterday. It must have been that person who did it. If he knew who it was, he would definitely tear them into pieces.

It was still dark the next day.

The sound of gongs rang out again. Su Wanning looked in the direction of the officers. It seemed that they finally suspected that someone had tampered with their horses and were now thinking of ways to torture them.

But I don’t know whether it is the exiled prisoners or themselves who are tortured in the end.

Thinking of this, Su Wanning washed up, ate a little, and then followed the team on their journey.

Until an hour was up, there was no intention of stopping the exile team.

They walked for another half an hour without stopping.

It seems that these officers are thinking of hurting the enemy by 800 and losing 1,000 of their own.

The team didn't stop until noon.

After taking a sip of water, Su Wanning looked at the official who was distributing steamed buns.

Unexpectedly, each person was given enough food for several days, but the exiles were not given anything to eat for the next few days.

Since the last time money was lost in the inn, many families started eating the free steamed buns.

Some people were originally not full with just one steamed bun for each meal, but now they were given so much at once without specifying how much it was for a few days. They all thought that the official was being a good person today and could not stop praising him.

Su Wanning then asked, "Sir, how many days' supply do you have?"

Unexpectedly, the people around him immediately retorted, "Officials are worried that we will suffer, so they give us more. Officials are all good people. Why do you make such assumptions?"

The officer handed over the steamed bun and gave Su Wanning a meaningful look.

It does not explain how many days this is.

Some people ate several in one meal, but some smart people still only ate one and put the rest in the package.

Su Wanning took the steamed bun and put it into the package. They were not planning to make lunch today.

After all, some officers noticed the incident with the horses today, so they naturally wouldn't let them off easily.

They were not told how long the rest would last, so they must have left soon.

A quarter of an hour later, just as Su Wanning had expected, the team started on their journey.

Some people had to stop and find a cloth bag to scoop out the rice as soon as they set up the pot and continue on their way.

But fortunately, it was still daylight in the afternoon, so the team stopped.

Su Wanning looked at the place where they stopped, which was backed by a mountain and faced the east.

Pulling Zhan Yiran up the mountain again.

Zhan Yiran was also helpless. She didn't know why Su Wanning was so obsessed with going up the mountain.

There is nothing on the mountain except game.

Seeing Su Wanning's eyes looking around, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking for? There's nothing on the mountain except game."

Su Wanning stared at it with a wandering gaze, looking into the distance with joy.

Zhan Yiran followed her gaze and saw a small cave halfway up the mountain.

Su Wanning walked quickly towards the cave.

After arriving at the entrance of the cave, I looked inside and saw the boxes placed inside.

Su Wanning was about to go in and put it into the space, but was stopped by Zhan Yiran.

Without waiting for Su Wanning to say anything, Zhan Yiran picked up a clod of earth and threw it in.

In an instant, a snake jumped out from inside.

Before Su Wanning could see what kind of snake it was, its head had already fallen to the ground.

Zhan Yiran walked over, picked it up, and hung it around his waist. "This snake is not poisonous. Let's stew it when we get home."

Su Wanning quickly waved her hand and said she didn't want it and didn't want to eat it.

Then he walked over and opened the boxes one by one. Inside were all kinds of gold, silver and treasures. Su Wanning patted the box and looked at Zhan Yiran, "There are not only game but also treasures on the mountain."

Zhan Yiran looked at Su Wanning with pride and wanted to ask her how she knew it, but before she could say anything, she heard footsteps outside.

"somebody is coming."

Su Wanning quickly put all the boxes into the space and kicked the dirt on the ground with her feet.

Follow Zhan Yiran out of the cave.

They saw the three people in the team who had wanted to share firewood with them before.
