Su Juan carried her luggage and took the horse from the groom. She was originally planning to wait for Duke Ping to return home before leaving, but the people from the Ministry of Punishment were already preparing to leave.

She was really worried about Miaoqing. If she didn't leave with the people from the Punishment Department, she would have to wait until tomorrow to join the team escorting the disaster relief funds. She couldn't afford to delay.

"Are you going alone?" Song Qianhang asked.

"Xie Xun also said he was going, but he was taking too long to pack his things, so I left first."

Song Qianhang was puzzled. It was just a matter of packing a bag. How long could it take?
Liu Xuan was not surprised, "Be careful along the way."

She got on her horse and looked at the three of them, "Well, let's meet again when I bring Miao Qing back."

After Su Juan left, Song Qianhang and Liu Xuan were about to leave when they saw Xie Xun hurriedly carrying two large luggage and holding two bags and a sword in his hand, "Where are Su Juan?"

I saw Liu Xuan pointing in the direction of the city gate.

Xie Xun hurriedly pulled the horse and ran towards the city gate, cursing, "Well, you Su family, we agreed to leave together, but you actually left me behind and left first!"

The two boys who ran out carried the box and hurried after him, shouting as they chased, "Master! Wait for us!"

Song Qianhang and Shen Ruhui were silent: "."

A girl named Sujuan only brought one suitcase with her, while Xie Xun, a grown man, had three or four suitcases that were not enough for a trip, so he had to have a servant carry a box.

This Prince Xie is really delicate.

Since there was no carriage prepared, Xie Xun had no choice but to let two boys carry the boxes back, and then he rode his horse and followed Su Juan leisurely, "Let me tell you, this is your first time traveling far away and you are inexperienced. These are all treasures I carry with me, and they will come in handy."

As he spoke, he patted the luggage hanging on his horse.

Su Juan didn't look at him, "Don't think I don't know, your bags are filled with clothes and money." 】

Xie Xun raised his eyebrows slightly. Isn't it right to bring two pairs of clothes when going out?

As long as you have money, what can't you buy?

Yu Zhong came over and said, "Miss Su, we have to work hard these days. We apologize for any inconvenience on the way."

Su Juan nodded, "Okay."

Yu Zhong glanced at Xie Xun.

This Prince Xie is known to be delicate, but he may not be able to withstand the bumpy road.

Xie Xun waved his hand, "I can do that too, young master. I'll just follow you and don't worry about me."

He, Xie Xun, has been riding horses since he was a child. Isn’t it possible that he can’t bear this little hardship?

In the middle of the night, a group of people who had been traveling all day camped in the woods. Some made a fire, while others went to fetch water. Even the Su family took out a big cake and sat by the tree to eat it.

Xie Xun was holding his pile of money with nowhere to spend it, and was confused, "Don't you want to stay in an inn?"

Yu Zhong explained, "We have just left He County. The mountain road we took is still half a day's walk from the next county. We will deal with it here for one night today. I have wronged the prince."

Xie Xun's stomach growled. He didn't even have a chance to drink two sips of water when he was on the road that day, because he didn't even bring a water bag.

Su Juan took out another big cake from his luggage and gave him his water bag, "Miaoqing and the others don't know their whereabouts yet. We have to get to Xuzhou quickly to know the situation there, so Don’t waste time staying at the inn on the way.”

Xie Xun took a bite of the pie and had been on the road for a day. At this moment, he still had the handsomeness and ease when he set out, "I understand."

I, Mr. Xie, am not an unreasonable person. I just live in the woods. At least I have a big cake to eat so that I am not hungry.

Xie Xun sighed, "I don't know how Liu Miaoqing is doing."

Su Juan was silent for a moment, "It will be fine." Yu Zhong wanted to say something. According to the news from the Xuzhou local government, Liu Miaoqing and his party fled after being robbed and killed, and their whereabouts have not been traced since.

After all, Miss Liu is different from others. After all, she is a girl. If she encounters bandits and mobs.
Yu Zhong didn't say this after all, but just comforted the Su family, "Miss Su, don't worry. The local government has sent people to search. When we arrive in Xuzhou, we will also look for Miss Liu together."

As he spoke, he gave Xie Xun the cloth he had prepared, "Your Majesty, we will meet many victims on the road after tonight. Please put on cloth clothes and go on the road after tonight."

Xie Xun was puzzled, but when he saw that everyone, including Su Juan, was wearing simple cloth clothes, he agreed.

They already live in the woods and are only wearing commoner clothes. He is not so squeamish as he thanks the prince dignifiedly.

The Su family looked at Yu Zhong with grateful eyes, "Thank you, Master Yu."

Yu Zhong felt a little uncomfortable with her eyes. Don't look too far. As long as you don't stare at my fart anymore.
[As expected, it’s the ass I’m attracted to, he’s such a good person! 】

Yu Zhong: "."

As soon as Su Juan said these words, the solemn atmosphere among the group because of the incident in Xuzhou suddenly relaxed a lot.

Xie Xun immediately glanced at Yu Zhong, was his butt really that big?
Yu Zhong hid his butt more tightly than ever.

The group traveled for three days before finally arriving in Xuzhou before evening. Along the way, they encountered countless victims.

There were women wearing tattered clothes who were suffering from fever and holding dying children. There were also women who had been devastated by the disaster and only themselves escaped and were hungry for several days.

There are also seven-year-old children who have lost their parents and are fainting from hunger on the road, and there are also elderly people who are leaning on sticks and finally die of illness on the road.

Corpses littered the fields, victims of the disaster were everywhere, and some went crazy with hunger, snatching food from the streets, and killing people just for a steamed bun.

As the eldest son of the Duke's Palace, Xie Xun had never seen such a scene before, and he felt uncomfortable. He gave away all the money he brought, including the clothes in his suitcase.

On the way, Yu Zhong's subordinates warned him that this trip should be low-key. If he gave away money so widely, he would be targeted. Even if he could help one or two people, he would not be able to help everyone.

The immediate goal is to get back the 30 yuan in disaster relief money as soon as possible.

The group entered Xuzhou along the route taken by Liu Miaoqing and others, and stayed at an inn in Lai County, Xuzhou without alerting the local officials.

Xie Xun was puzzled, "Why don't you stay at the inn?"

When officials travel, don’t they always stay at the official post office?

Su Juan whispered, "Master Yu suspects that the robbery of the disaster relief funds this time has something to do with the local government."

Xie Xun was shocked!

[After all, without the assistance of the local government, it would not be easy for so many silver coins to disappear. 】

"Miaoqing and the others were robbed near Lai County. Now they are on their territory. If they want to investigate, they can only come here secretly."

Yu Zhong nodded, "Eat something first. You will rest at the inn later, and we will go out to look for Miss Liu."

Su Juan: "I'm with you."

Yu Zhong: "Okay."

Xie Xun was about to say that he was going too, but Su Juan said, "You stay at the inn and take care of everyone's luggage."

Xie Xun immediately disagreed, "That won't work. The old man asked me to protect you, and I have to follow you."

Aren't we at an inn? We're not in the middle of nowhere, and we still need to look at our luggage?
