Chapter 10 Assassins Attack, Gu Liuli Protects Her Master
Gu Liuli, on her way to exile, was unaware that her father had also been exiled, and even if she did, she wouldn't care.
In the previous dynasty, Prime Minister Chen Qi plotted to seize power, and behind him were countless others who wanted to scheme against him. But Xiao Han knew that there was a mastermind behind all of this!
The Emperor walked heavily to the window. Perhaps Heaven knew Xiao Han's current mood, for the originally sunny day suddenly turned cloudy.
"My son, your father believes in you, you can do it! I will also do my best to protect you until the very end!"
Besides Eunuch De, who announced the imperial edict of exile, another close eunuch serving the emperor was Eunuch Fu.
As Eunuch Fu watched the lonely Emperor's retreating figure, his eyes filled with tears. He thought of the Empress and the young Crown Prince who used to be in the Imperial Study.
The Emperor's face was all smiles, but now? Only the Emperor himself is facing the challenge. He sincerely hopes that His Highness the Crown Prince will not hold a grudge against him. The Emperor is truly going to great lengths!
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Shadow said that the Crown Princess who took the place of the bride seems to have some ability. His Highness the Crown Prince will turn the danger into safety."
Xiao Han narrowed his eyes, and his aura changed instantly. Gu Hang had committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Since he had switched the daughter, then... he would be the one to be punished!
The next day, the emperor issued an edict exiling Gu Hang and his family to Ningguta for the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Gu Liuli, on her way to exile, was unaware that her father had also been exiled, and even if she had, she wouldn't have cared.
Instead, he happily caught two big, fat pheasants and two fat rabbits, intending to use the system's rewards to make barbecue.
A loud "crack!" suddenly rang out!
Especially when the members of the Mu family's collateral branches saw the meat in Gu Liuli's hand, and then looked at the hard, gritty steamed bun in their own hands, they suddenly lost their appetite.
Mu Jian's mother, Zhao Yun, took advantage of her age and pointed at the tempting and fragrant piece of meat in Gu Liuli's hand, muttering, "Oh dear, it's so unfair! We're all exiles, so why can some people eat meat while we can only gnaw on hard steamed buns!"
At the same time, the system issued a task: "Please hand over the chicken to Soldier Zhao Hu. The system will reward you with a pill that temporarily suppresses the toxicity."
At this moment, everyone saw Gu Liuli walking out with a fragrant roast chicken in her hand, and they all assumed that Gu Liuli was giving it to Zhao Yun and the others.
Mu Chun and Liu Lan quickly intervened, saying, "Granddaughter-in-law, keep that meat for yourselves; it can serve as provisions on the road."
Liu Lan shouted directly at Zhao Yun, "Old Zhao, that meat was brought by my granddaughter-in-law. If you're so capable, tell your son to go find some meat too. Your grandson being unwell is just an excuse; he's just incompetent. If you want to eat, go find some yourself! The Mu family doesn't owe you anything!"
Zhao Yun glared at his son, feeling a surge of anger rising within him.
They went out with that little Begoman, and he managed to find juicy meat, while they found nothing.
Mu Zhaoqi looked at his grandmother and couldn't help but think to himself, "What a snobbish old lady."
But he still had to coax her, after all, he knew that the old lady was secretly hiding money on her.
"Grandma, it's all my fault. I won't eat this steamed bun; I'll give it all to you."
Gu Liuli walked up to Zhao Hu, holding a roasted chicken that had been marinated in space materials in one hand.
Seeing this, the officers and soldiers present swallowed hard. "Lord Zhao, this is just a gift from my prince to you and the other officials. Please have a taste!"
Zhao Hu's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and his opinion of Gu Liuli changed. He suddenly felt a pang of regret.
One of the officials couldn't stop smiling. They originally planned to just rob them when the time came, since they were exiled people and of course didn't deserve to eat big fish and meat.
However, since she's so sensible, I'll just make things a little difficult for her on the road next time.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Hao immediately snatched it away, and even touched Gu Liuli's small hand in the process. A murderous glint flashed in Gu Liuli's eyes; this person could not be allowed to live!
When everyone saw that Gu Liuli had given the meat to the soldiers, those who had wanted to snatch it immediately stopped thinking about it, especially the members of the collateral branches of the Mu family.
Mu Chun and Liu Lan exchanged glances, a look of relief in their eyes. It seemed that this substitute bride was a clear-headed woman.
Gu Liuli distributed the meat to Xiao Jingchuan's grandparents and the people who had just protected them. When she turned her head, she saw Zhao Yun and the others glaring at her with their beards puffed out.
Ding!
"Congratulations on completing the mission! You are rewarded with two Marrow Cleansing Pills and a 10ml bottle of Spirit Spring Water. We hope you will continue your efforts!"
After finishing her meal, Gu Liuli closed her eyes and entered the space, discovering that the space had unknowingly grown larger.
"Tongtong, you only gave me a chicken and a bottle of spiritual spring water? Other transmigrators all brought trees and pools with them, you're too stingy!"
...The system remained silent, feeling that its host was constantly plotting against it, so it was best to stay quiet.
While everyone was enjoying their roast chicken, they were completely unaware that a group of vicious mountain bandits were waiting to ambush them in the distance.
The leader was a burly man with a face full of scars, and his large, copper-bell-shaped eyes gleamed with cunning and greed.
Standing next to him was a bald man with a fat head and big ears, and two black moles on his face.
The bald man was staring lecherously at the group of exiled prisoners, a disgusting smile playing on his lips.
The bald man whispered to the leader, "Brother, you don't know! Among those exiled prisoners, there are quite a few women! They all look delicate and charming."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Their bodies are so tender they seem to drip with moisture. Hehehe... Once we get our hands on them, won't the brothers be able to enjoy themselves to their heart's content?" He paused there.
He couldn't help but let out a nasty laugh, as if he could already see himself wantonly humiliating those women.
The henchmen following behind echoed, "Yeah, boss, let's kill those old men first. If we could do it in front of these soldiers and those men... wouldn't that be even more exciting!"
The leader of the thieves squinted and stared intently at Gu Liuli.
Sitting in his chair, Xiao Jingchuan felt uneasy, his eyes wary as he looked into the distance.
Upon seeing this, Xuan Huo silently made a hand gesture from behind. Everyone only felt a gust of wind pass by, and then there was no more movement.
The bandits returned to their stronghold and began meticulously preparing to carry out their next plan.
The soldiers on the pipeline, including Zhao Hu, and the prisoners were unaware that a crisis was quietly brewing.
