After the house was confiscated, I relied on billions of dollars in supplies to become a group favor

Chapter 183
The penal colony where the imperial court placed the exiled prisoners was called Yuecheng. It was located in a desolate land in the south. It gradually developed slightly over the years and became a stable mining area for the imperial court.

There are not many local people in Yuecheng, and they are basically inhabited by prisoners. It is chaotic and full of disputes, so it is not a livable place. There are a number of officials sent by the imperial court to manage batches of exiled prisoners.

However, this place is still very different from other cities. It is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and it only has a cooperative relationship with the imperial court.

Li Jiang led the exile team, followed the signs strictly along the way, marched carefully, and secretly avoided many dangers, and finally arrived safely in Yuecheng two days later.

Compared with other cities, Yuecheng looks particularly lifeless due to its geographical location and sparse population. A lonely and dirty large stone tablet stands at the gate of the city, with the word "Yuecheng" engraved on it as a bright landmark. .

Wang Xiaoer also came to Yuecheng for the first time. He raised his eyes and looked at the secluded and simple city in front of him. He couldn't help but murmur in his mouth: "Good guy... what a shabby place this is!"

No wonder he was so surprised, Yue City was indeed a bit old, and it was completely different from the lively and prosperous feeling of other cities. Even with the city gates wide open, not many people were seen coming and going.

When Lao Jiu saw that this boy was speaking freely again, he couldn't help but frown. He pushed him hard and warned him coldly: "Be quiet and be careful with your words."

When they were about to enter the city, there was a shouting not far away.

"Boss! You've got it!"

Under a big tree not far away, the four scouting officers were slumped on the ground looking haggard and embarrassed. When they saw a familiar figure, they shouted in surprise.

"Why don't you go into the city? What are you doing lying here?" Wang Xiaoer came up to him in confusion and asked.

He took a closer look and realized it. He let out an ouch and said in surprise: "Why are you like this?"

They looked like beggars, not to mention official servants. They were all gray-faced, their clothes were torn and torn, and even the horses they were riding on were missing.

"You see, it's hard for us to enter the city like this. Moreover, Lin Er's leg was injured and he can't move. We can only wait here."

As they spoke, they pointed to one of the officials, who was lying on the ground with a pale face.

When he heard that an official had fallen and injured his leg, Li Jiang's expression changed slightly. He turned his head and looked at Ruan He behind him, who was the only doctor in their team.

Ruan He picked up his baggage and walked over there quickly.

"I gonna go see."

The officer who had broken his leg was lying on the ground motionless, his face bloodless. Not only his legs, but his body was covered with various large and small scratches, which looked particularly miserable.

Li Jiang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the others were all fine, and asked with his usual cold and solemn face: "Why is he like this?"

"Boss, don't mention it! I don't know which turtle grandson wants to kill us. You don't know how dangerous it is along the way. If we hadn't reacted quickly and been very careful, we would have been dead! We even I don’t even dare to ride a horse anymore, for fear that both the man and the horse will die inside.”

The official came with a painful look on his face and kept talking and complaining.

"That's right! You came here safely. You probably didn't take the right path. The other side of the broken bridge is too dangerous. On the surface, it looks like an ordinary moss field. If you step on it, it will be a deep trap. .”

"Lin Er was the one who stepped into that big trap. He injured his leg and gave us a fright. It took a lot of effort to save him." Fortunately, Lin Er The injury was not serious, and the broken leg was just a dislocated bone. Ruan He adjusted his bones, applied ointment made from spiritual spring water, and bandaged it. After a while, he was able to walk with half of his leg.

Two officers supported Lin Er, one on the left and the other on the right, and then their exile team entered the city in a mighty manner.

Yuecheng is really different. Not only is the place lifeless, but even the guard at the gate looks lazy.

When they saw such a large group of exiles entering the city, they just looked around lazily and waved to them to enter the city without even bothering to say a word.

As soon as they entered Yue City, they took the lead in finding a nearby inn and placed everyone in the inn.

When the innkeeper saw such a large group of people renting the inn, he happily accepted the money and did not feel at all that it was bad luck to entertain the prisoners.

After all, this is Yuecheng, and there are more prisoners here than the locals. After seeing many of them, they don't take it seriously. "

Inside the inn, all the prisoners stood quietly, waiting for Li Jiang to return.

The officials were also sitting lazily on their chairs, yawning here and there.

Mrs. Mu Tai is old and has received preferential treatment because of Mu Yunxiao and his wife. At this time, she can sit on a chair and close her eyes to rest.

Little Panda in her arms stuck out her head, moved her little nose and sniffed around, and let out an excited cry.

"Squeak!"

Panda seemed to have discovered something. He jumped up from Mrs. Mutai's arms and threw his head directly into Ruan He's arms, screaming.

"The nose is really smart!" Ruan He laughed helplessly, picked it up by its little head, put it on the table, and then unpacked the bundle in his arms.

Inside the baggage was a packet of walnut cakes, which had a hint of sweetness.

The walnut cake was so sweet that the old man didn't like it, and his teeth couldn't eat it, so Mrs. Mutai smiled kindly and shook her head to reject the cake handed over by Ruan He.

"I can't eat this, give it to Yuanyuan and Panda."

Ruan He wasn't hungry either, so he picked up two pieces of walnut cake, and handed one to Mu Yunchao and the other to Mu Yuanyuan.

"Squeak!" Panda stared expectantly at the walnut cake in her hand, but she couldn't get even a piece of cake, so she shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Do you still want to eat? Didn't you just eat a big steamed bun?" Ruan He patted its head helplessly. In the morning, he found that the little guy had stolen a large steamed bun from the official's bag and was eating it. .

Panda ate a big steamed bun, and her belly was bulging. At this moment, a pair of round black bean eyes were still staring at the walnut cake without blinking.

"You can't feed Xiaohe any more, or he'll be overstretched later." Mrs. Mutai nodded Panda's little head dissatisfied, and said as a lesson: "Eat so much, I'm afraid it'll be overstretched, my little ancestor. "
