After feeding the exiled criminals, she was forced to reveal herself

Chapter 578 General Xie is blessed
With the unexpected food, everyone’s depressed mood instantly lifted!
Everyone's fatigue also disappeared.

Countless eyes looked at Chu Feijian, eagerly waiting for his order after receiving replenishment of food.

Madam Xie and others were also surprised. It was an extremely risky thing to abandon food and supplies midway just to increase the chance of survival.

If the Xie family did not have the support of a god behind them, Old Madam Xie would not dare to take such a gamble.

I didn't expect the surprise to come so quickly.

Zhang Dayi privately communicated with Madam Xie: "Madam, it seems that General Xie and Lord Xiong are making good progress. I think good news should be coming soon."

If that were really possible, that would be the best, thought Mrs. Xie.

She pondered for a moment and said, "Although it is different from what I originally thought, what Master Zhang said is true. This is already a good situation."

While the Xie family was discussing privately, Chu Feijian was unable to make a decision alone and looked at Old Madam Xie.

Seeing this, Zhang Dayi whispered, "Old Madam, please don't say too much about this matter."

It is not easy for the exiles to decide the issue of food rations during exile. Even though the Xie family has some influence among the exiles, it is not easy to put it on the government's shoulders.

Old Madam Xie understood his concerns and reminders. When she saw Chu Feijian looking at her, she shook her head slightly.

Chu Feijian's eyes were stunned for a moment, but it was only for a moment. He pondered for a moment and figured out what the Xie family meant.

Now, he is the escort officer of this exile team. It is indeed inappropriate for him to ask the opinions of the exiles everywhere.

Chu Feijian thought about it, then turned to look at the expectant eyes in the team behind him...

I looked up at the sky.

"Go one kilometer forward and cook!"

"it is good!"

"Wow--"

Everyone cheered happily. Although Chu Feijian did not order to cook immediately, the distance of one kilometer was not a particularly difficult task for everyone as long as there was hope.

The team had already set out, but it was unwise to stop again after just a short while. Moreover, there were too few shelters on this stretch of road, and the wind was cold and strong. Chu Feijian got ready to lead the team, and the whole team unconsciously quickened their pace, and soon found a suitable place to camp.

Make a fire and cook.

The rising smoke from cooking fires would easily expose the target. Chu Feijian was afraid of causing trouble, so he reminded them many times to be careful.

Everyone had been walking for a long time and were already starving, so the Xie family chose a quick and convenient way and made an easy dinner on the spot.

Although everyone could not eat their fill, at least they had something in their stomachs and were not too hungry. Fortunately, among the things that Xie Yuchuan had people send over, there were a lot of portable foods, even sugar and dried meat.

Even Chu Feijian and other escorting officers had never eaten such food before.

Old Madam Xie asked her daughter-in-law Zhou to hand over all the food to Chu Feijian. Since Xie Yuchuan asked his men to deliver it openly, she already understood what her grandson meant.

There are some things that the Xie family does not intend to hide during the exile.

In this case, wouldn't it be better to let the escorts take care of the things?

Everyone had a quick snack and felt warmer, and had more energy to walk.

The escorts gave each person some food to replenish their energy for the journey. Now that everyone had "food" in their hands, they felt more confident, and the rest of the journey went much faster than before.

The sky gradually darkened, the night became dark, and walking became difficult.

It took a long time to see the smoke rising into the sky above the distant mountains. Chu Feijian looked back, but still could not see the most crucial one. He pondered secretly, watching the fugitives rushing forward one after another, and he called one of his men.

"Chutou?"

"Take this, ride my fast horse, and go to the post station ahead to report the news." "Yes!"

Chu Feijian gave his horse to the other party and walked to the vicinity of Xie's house and passed by him.

Zhang Dayi was surprised: "Master Chu, how can you walk?"

"Send someone to the front to report the news first." Chu Feijian said.

Zhang Dayi raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes flashed with surprise, and he looked at Old Madam Xie beside him, who was a little surprised like him.

Chu Feijian said, "I know. It's already this hour and there's no one on the road. I think there's something wrong ahead. However, we should report it now to avoid trouble later. If we can call someone over to help, that would be even better."

Upon hearing this, Madam Xie nodded slightly and said, "Master Chu is thoughtful."

Zhang Dayi stroked his beard and gave him an admiring look, "Although the hope of getting help is slim, Lord Chu is indeed more thorough in doing his job this way."

How could the neighboring prefectures and counties not know about the huge mobilization of troops in Yucheng? They were just watching the excitement from the sidelines, waiting for the final outcome to be decided before they were willing to step out and take advantage of the situation.

When the situation is getting hot, who would be willing to step forward and help?

Chu Feijian didn't really count on it. As a minor official, he was used to making deals with various parties and it wouldn't be taboo.

Zhang Dayi and Old Madam Xie both understood Chu Feijian's move, but they both knew better that under such circumstances, unless Xie Yuchuan and Yucheng County Magistrate Feng Chen had obvious success in suppressing the bandits, the neighboring reinforcements would not come to support them.

There has been no sign of any sign of troops from any party for a long time, either because they are unwilling to get involved or because there is no better news from Feng Chen.

As the team moved forward slowly, old lady Xie walked unsteadily, leaning on a cane.

After walking silently for a while, she frowned unconsciously in the dark and whispered to her daughter-in-law Zhou: "I'm afraid there is a problem between Yuchuan and the family god."

Zhou didn't react for a moment.

"Mom, why would you think so? No way."

Madam Xie didn't speak loudly, but the night was quiet and the slightest sound would be amplified.

Zhang Dayi was following behind with his mother, and just now he heard what Madam Xie said.

He concealed the thoughts in his eyes, and although he did not speak a word, what he was thinking in his heart was indeed the same as what the old lady of the Xie family thought.

Is there any problem between Xie Yuchuan and the Xie family god?
As the old Hanlin walked all the way at night, this thought became stronger and stronger in his mind.

Madam Xie walked with her head down, looked up at the sky, and murmured, "It's already this time."

Zhou pondered the old lady's words in her heart, and her expression suddenly changed. A light flashed in her eyes, and worry crept onto her face.

Madam Xie reached out and patted her gently, comforting her: "It's okay. Yuchuan is a child who has experienced many things. Even if there is any accident between him and the family god, the child will find a way to deal with it."

"Yeah." Zhou nodded with a slightly flustered look. Although she knew that her mother-in-law's words were not simply to comfort her, as a mother, she still couldn't help but worry about her son Xie Yuchuan.

Zhang Dayi said from behind: "Thank you, General. Good people are blessed by heaven."

"Yes, Yuchuan is a very lucky child." Zhang next to him also said.

Ruan and Xie Zhen were at the back, taking turns carrying the child Xie Jiarui on their backs.

The child is tired and feels heavy.

When awake, he insists on walking by himself, but when soundly asleep, he has no choice but to crawl on the bodies of his elders at home.

A wisp of colorful smoke just happened to cut through the night sky at this moment.
