Before exile, the imperial concubine emptied the palace

Chapter 6 She Shouldn't Meddle

At noon, the autumn sun was not inferior to that of summer, and it was hot on the top of her head. Lin Xiaoyue felt sweating on her back. After leaving the capital, they had no chance to rest. How terrifying is Yangmingshan!
"The two yamen servants have been walking for a whole morning, let's sit down and have a rest."

Lin Xiaoyue saw a few prisoners beside her with white lips, who were staggering and might fall down at any time. She sat down on the ground and said out of breath.

Jiang Bai was about to curse, but when he turned around, he saw Lin Xiaoyue sitting on the ground!
He swallowed the words that came to his lips in an instant, cleared his throat, and said, "Rest where you are! You will follow closely when you go up the mountain. If anyone falls behind, he will be eaten by ghosts at night!"

Lin Xiaoyue looked in the direction of Jiang Bai's finger, and there was a fork in the road not far away. The wooden sign of Yangming Town stood on the left side of the fork road, and the right side was an uphill road. It seemed that they had already reached the top of Yangming Mountain. down.

She took a sip of water, and then took out a steamed bun from the bag. In order not to be discovered by others, she took out some dry food from the space and put it in the bag in advance.

After quickly eating two steamed buns, she planned to seize the time to take a nap and turn over the mountain in front of her in one breath. She couldn't do it without saving some strength!
"Snapped!"

Just as she was sleeping comfortably, there was a loud crack of the whip.

She raised her head suddenly, just in time to see a thin man curled up on the ground trembling from being beaten, screaming "forgive me" desperately.

"Brother yamen servant, why did this person make you angry?" She bit her lip, but in the end she couldn't suppress the impatience in her heart, and walked over to ask.

Jiang Bai cursed while whipping his whip: "Damn it! The dog actually lied about wanting to pee, and then tried to escape while we were napping! See if I don't beat him to death!"

Lin Xiaoyue tilted her head, and met the man's stubborn eyes, she was kind!
"Brother yamen servant, you are angry, but at this time, you have beaten him to death. If he can't go up the mountain, then we must not spend the night on the mountain tonight? This... I don't want to be eaten by ghosts!"

Jiang Bai felt that Lin Xiaoyue's words were also reasonable, and took back his whip and angrily warned the man on the ground: "You dog, count your luck! Next time, you just wait to see the King of Hades!"

The man got up from the ground in pain, lowered his head and said to Lin Xiaoyue, "Thank you."

Lin Xiaoyue waved her hand and said in a low voice, "Be smarter when you want to escape. Let's go, I'm afraid of ghosts, so I'd better climb over this mountain earlier."

The man grabbed Lin Xiaoyue's clothes and said, "Is it scary to be a ghost? I am a slave when I go to the north as a man, and live like a dog! But if you go there as a woman, you will be worse than a dog and live a life of thousands of people." It’s a day when tens of thousands of people ride. I can see that these two yamen servants still listen to you a little bit, why don’t we cooperate and escape?”

Lin Xiaoyue's heart skipped a beat, but soon she regained her composure.She doesn't understand this man at all. Now that she is talking about cooperation, maybe she will be used as a backstop in the end. She is not so stupid!
"Thank you for your reminder, but everyone has their own life, I don't want to escape."

The man's face darkened in an instant, and he said sarcastically, "It's something I'm used to doing, and I do it the same way wherever I go!"

Lin Xiaoyue knew that the man in front of her was mocking her as a prostitute, waiting for her to jump to attention and stand up innocently, but she was not a three-year-old child, she was full to compete with a stranger?
She even began to regret stopping Jiang Bai from smacking this poisonous man just now, people really can't meddle in other people's business, it's easy to step on shit!
"none of your business?"

After replying coldly, she heard Jiang Bai and He Yuan, two yamen servants waving whips desperately urging the others to get up and prepare to go up the mountain, so she turned her head and followed.

Yangming Mountain is not low. Walking along the mountain road, Lin Xiaoyue felt that her calves were sore, her legs became difficult to lift, and even her head became chaotic!

She glanced at the other prisoners who were chained. These people were dragged down by heavy chains, and it was even more difficult for them to walk!

With this turtle speed, can you really climb over this mountain before dark?

Suddenly, the appearance of the mountaineer in her previous life holding a trekking pole flashed in her mind. She lowered her head and found a thick branch on the ground as a trekking pole, and walked up step by step with the branch.

With the branches, the whole person seems to have support, and walking is not as strenuous as before.

"Everyone should find a branch like me, it's too hard to walk up the mountain!"

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue walked more easily than before, the others followed suit and began to pick up branches on the ground.

Sure enough, this method is very useful, and everyone's speed is much faster than before.

Jiang Bai couldn't help casting admiring glances at Lin Xiaoyue, as expected of someone who came out of the palace, her mind is smart!

Hey, such a clever girl, maybe she will really be her favorite, the emperor will miss her in a few days and want her to go back!

He walked to Lin Xiaoyue's side, smiled and said, "If you really can't move, I'll ask He Yuan to accompany you to rest here for a while, and I'll take these people away first."

Lin Xiaoyue originally wanted to refuse, but she raised her head and met the hostile gaze of the man just now, hum, some people dislike her like that, she just wanted to piss him off!
So, she deliberately nodded and said loudly: "Okay! Then I would like to thank the two yamen servants!"

"I don't agree! Why can she stay and rest, and we have to go forward?" The angry eyes of the man just now almost popped out.

Jiang Bai picked up the whip and whipped him, "What are you? If you don't want to die here, let me go!"

The man was so painful that he could hardly stand up. He gave Lin Xiaoyue a fierce look, gritted his teeth and walked up the mountain.

Lin Xiaoyue was very proud, pretending to be at a loss and said: "I, I'd better follow you, or someone will hate me to death!"

"Don't worry about that dog! Don't worry about resting here, let's walk slowly, and we will wait for you in front." Jiang Bai called He Yuan to give a few words, and then led the others to continue walking, "Go Alright, let’s go! Whoever dawdles again, be careful to eat my whip!”

Although the rest were jealous of Lin Xiaoyue's special treatment, they were also afraid of being whipped, so they swallowed their complaints and walked forward.

Lin Xiaoyue found a clean place to sit down, looking at the departing team, she couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

In fact, ever since the cell boss of the Shuntian government office told her about the exile in the northern border, she had planned to escape, but she never expected that she would be jealous of that man just now when she was kind enough to help that man!

Next, it will be even more difficult for her to escape, not only to deceive the eyes of Jiang Bai, He Yuan and the two yamen servants, but also to deceive the man just now!

What should she do?

The more she thought about it, the more irritable she became, and she couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up and said, "Let's go as soon as possible. If we can't get out of this mountain before dark, we will be in trouble!"

He Yuan nodded and walked to the front to lead the way, "Okay! Lao Jiang and the others haven't gone far, we should be able to keep up with them, don't worry."

Lin Xiaoyue couldn't help rolling her eyes in her heart, she didn't want to follow the team so soon, now is a great opportunity to make marks along the road, so that she will know how to avoid it when she runs away in the future!
When He Yuan was not paying attention, she took out a small dagger from the space and hid it in the palm of her hand, then walked close to the big tree by the roadside, and after a few steps, she slashed on the tree twice, her movements were fast and careful , but walking two or three steps slower than He Yuan.

The moment the dagger slashed across the trees, He Yuan suddenly turned his head, stared at Li Xiaoyue with vigilant eyes, and walked towards Li Xiaoyue while speaking: "What are you doing? There is no good road in the middle, why are you walking in a place full of miscellaneous things?" On the side of the grassy road?"
