"Pah! Pah!"

The jailers waved their whips to signal the crowd to be quiet.

Dali Temple officials stood on the stage and lectured.

"Now that you are all criminals and guilty, the Holy Spirit spared you your life in mercy, and only ordered your exile. The rest of you must be grateful to the Emperor. On the way to exile, anyone who dares to cause trouble or escape will be killed on the spot if caught.

,Okay, thank you!"

"According to the decree, thank the Lord for His kindness!" Everyone in the audience knelt down to express their gratitude.

"Crack!" The whip sounded.

"Set off!"

The escort officer directed the prisoners to set off.

There were more than fifty people exiled this time, and everyone walked out in a mighty manner.

At this time, it was already dark, and there were already pedestrians on the street. Seeing so many prisoners, they all stopped to watch.

Xu Maqian held Gu Zhao and looked at everything on the street, feeling a little sad and wondering if she would come back in the future.

When everyone reached the city gate, there were many people standing on both sides of the road.

Some cried and called daughter, young lady, and some called mother, or brother, brother, etc. They were all the relatives of those who were going to be exiled this time.

Others were throwing things into the crowd, either food or clothing.

"Ouch!"

Brother Zhao, who was being held by his mother, was hit on the head by a hard object, which still hurt a lot.

He covered the painful area and took out the thing from his arms. His eyes instantly enlarged, "Mother, look!"

He handed the thing in his hand to Xu Muzhen like a treasure.

Xu Muqian put the thing in Brother Zhao's hand into his arms and said, "Hide it quickly!"

Oh my god! Whose family member was so grand that he threw a small gold ingot into the crowd, which looked like it weighed one or two.

This can be converted into ten taels of silver and ten guan in copper coins.

This is a good thing for them now, and they will be able to buy a lot of things in the future.

"Miss, Miss"

Hearing the somewhat familiar voice, Xu Muchian subconsciously looked towards that person.

It was a little girl in green clothes. When she realized it, she was the maid who grew up with the original girl, right? Her name was Lu Yi.

Seeing his young lady looking over, Lu Yi wiped her tears and waved her hands vigorously. This time the Gu family was exiled and no one else was held accountable. They were all dismissed and returned to their home.

She has been following Xu Maqian since she was a child, and she doesn’t know where her home is? She has nowhere to go!

I heard that the Gu family was exiled, so I was waiting here for my young lady who wanted to go to exile with her, "Miss, Miss, I want to go with you."

This silly girl, regardless of whether the escort officer agrees or not, even if he agrees, this road of exile is not a good place to go, if he is not careful, he may even lose his life.

Seeing the greenery that was about to squeeze in, Xu Muqian felt sour in her heart and shouted, "Go to my parents and go back to Suzhou Mansion with them. Go back to Suzhou Mansion to help me take care of my parents. Be obedient!"

"Be obedient!" Seeing Lu Yi shake her head after hearing her words, Xu Muzhen looked at her and said it again seriously.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

After saying that, he thought of the burden he carried.

They will definitely need these on their way to exile. Lu Yi took off the baggage on her body and shouted, "Miss, go on!"

Then he threw it towards Xu Muzhen with all his strength.

Xu Muchian looked at the big bundle flying towards her and stretched out her hand to grab it.

Then she put the burden down, held Brother Zhao down, and carried the huge burden on her back with one hand.

He waved to the greenery and followed the team out of the city gate.

"Are you okay?" Xu Maqian asked, looking at Gu Huaijin who kept looking back.

Gu Huaijin looked at the big burden that his wife was carrying, and felt a little disappointed. No one from the Gu family's married relatives came to say goodbye.

Not to mention others, not even her biological sister and aunt saw that the people she was closest to were now worse than a servant.

"Nothing, let's go!" Gu Huaijin's voice was low, and he turned his head and looked forward without even looking behind him.

It doesn’t matter what happens to you, hum!

Xu Muqian took a deep breath and pulled Brother Zhao forward.

They were exiled for three thousand miles. Because it was just the beginning, and the men were all beaten fifty times and injured, they only had to walk thirty miles a day.

According to the time limit, they will arrive at the penal colony within three months, and soon they will probably have to travel fifty miles or more a day.

The escort officer walking behind cracked his whip along the way, but he didn't hit anyone.

He just keeps scaring and urging people to move quickly and not to waste time.

Xu Muchian recognized that the man was the jailer who secretly handed her things in the prison every day.

It seems that not all jailers are vicious.

There were men and women in their group, old and young, all dressed in ragged clothes and walking unsteadily.

I was exhausted and swaying along the way before I came across a dilapidated Temple of Wealth.

It has just passed the vernal equinox and the weather is not too hot yet.

But Gu Zhao was still hot and sweaty, so Xu Maqian helped him take off his jacket and wiped his sweat with his clean sleeves.

During this season, hot and cold alternating, bacteria breed, and children are most likely to get sick. Nowadays, if you get sick, it can really kill you.

They stopped in front of the temple, and the female family members were arranged to go first, while the men stayed outside to wait for their shackles to be released.

During the day, they would only take off their shackles to rest for a while during rest time.

The women all walked in, and Xu Muxian quickly walked in with Gu Zhao in her arms.

She glanced around the temple, spotted a slightly cleaner corner, and walked there.

Mrs. Chen followed her with Gu Fei and chose a seat next to her.

Gu Lin looked at Xu Muxian who was cleaning up and took the lead in saying hello, "Third Aunt!"

"Well! Pack up quickly and get some rest! We still have time to go tomorrow." She was still willing to spread kindness towards Gu Fei.

Xu Maqian took off the big baggage on his body and let Gu Zhao sit on it.

She gathered the surrounding straw into a pile, spread it evenly on the ground, and put it under her body to prevent herself from getting sick lying on the cold ground at night.

As soon as they laid out the straw, they saw Gu Huaijin limping over.

Xu Muzhen hurriedly went up to help him, "Be careful. Sit down and rest for a while. Brother Zhao will take out the water bottle from the bag and give your father a drink of water."

"I know, mother!"

Gu Zhao found the kettle, held it with both hands and handed it to Gu Huaijin, and said cautiously, "Drink water!"

Gu Zhao is young and has only met Gu Huaijin very rarely. He probably hasn't met Xu Mu Qian that much, so he has no feelings for his biological father.

Gu Huaijin looked at the kettle handed over by her son, reached out and took it and took a few sips before she felt better.

Looking at Gu Zhao, he suddenly felt a little guilty. Since the child was born, he has often been away from home, and he has paid little attention to his company.
