Ji Kuo got on his horse and shouted, "Complete the team, let's go!" The official's whip crackled, and the exiled prisoners moved forward again.
After walking for more than ten miles, the male prisoners were used to being pampered. The male prisoners could still hold on, but the female prisoners could no longer bear it. Several of them sat on the ground and begged for relief, "Sir, I really can't walk anymore." , take a rest!" What answered them was not pity, but a ruthless whip.
It was early October. He was only wearing a jacket and a gray-white prison uniform. The pain was excruciating when he was whipped a few times. Jie Chai was afraid of damaging the prison uniform, so he specifically hit his arms and legs. Those with evil intentions would hit women. The slap on the face scared them so much that they covered it with their arms.
The men in the family couldn't stand it anymore, so they ran over to stop her, and when the whip came over, her skin was torn immediately. It turned out that there was a misunderstanding, but they still cherished the beauty and treated the woman much more lightly.
Ji Kuo rode over with more than a dozen people and pulled out the steel knife on his back. "The prisoner returns to the team immediately, otherwise he will be killed without mercy!"
Most of the adult male prisoners in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment have been sentenced, and their injuries have not yet healed. They have not had enough to eat in the past few days in prison, and their strength has not been maintained. They resisted the misunderstanding in a moment of anger, but they cannot just run away. That will increase the crime. Needless to say, in ancient times, one person committed a crime that implicated nine tribes, and implicated family and friends. How could you bear it?
The prisoners fell silent, and supported each other and returned to the team silently. Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Ji Kuo shouted: "Everyone, hang on, we will take a rest after five miles!"
After being whipped and drawing some plums for them to quench their thirst, Caiwei gave Ji Kuo a thumbs up in her heart. No wonder he was chosen as the leader. He really has leadership skills!
The team continued to march, and Ji Kuo rode his horse several times, constantly encouraging everyone, "Two miles further, there will be a forest. Let's rest there."
While shouting, he suddenly noticed that flying sand was rising again in the direction of the capital, like many carriages approaching the exile team.
Ji Kuo shouted: "Everyone, stop and be on guard, pay attention to the vehicles behind you!" The police officers drew out their steel knives and surrounded the prisoners in the center.
The old Marquis said: "Stop!" The coachman reined in the horse. The old Marquis got out of the car and stood on the car looking into the distance. Dozens of men in black were galloping towards here on tall horses, followed by some people. Several carriages were escorted by horses.
The old Marquis stroked his beard and smiled slightly, and said, "Don't panic, it's Sichuan City and the others who are here."
After a while, the men in black came closer. It was Gu Chuancheng with the remaining thirty guards.
When the thirty-one people saw the old Marquis, they all dismounted from their horses and knelt on one knee. Their movements were uniform and their voices were as powerful as a rainbow. "I'm late, Master, please forgive me!"
"Everyone, get up!" The old Marquis waved his hand mightily. All the guards replied in unison: "Thank you, Master!" and stood up.
Gu Chuancheng was the master of Gu Jingzhi and Gu Jingchao. The two came over to greet them. Cai Lian followed Jing Chao, not knowing what to do.
"Master!" The two of them clasped their hands, and Gu Chuancheng looked at them and said "Hmm". Then he saw a little girl following Jing Chao, who looked very familiar, and said strangely: "Eh? I seem to have seen this little girl somewhere. "
Cai Lian was timid, so Gu Fan asked her to disguise herself as a man and use the pseudonym Wu Chao to become Gu Chuancheng's apprentice. He was not allowed to reveal the woman's identity. She trained hard day and night with her master, and she became extremely strong and perceptive. She could endure hardship without complaining about being tired. , no one can tell that she is a female doll.
Gu Chuancheng felt like a treasure by having Wu Chao as his apprentice. He taught him patiently and taught him eighteen kinds of martial arts. He even liked him far more than his own nephew Gu Fan.
Under the gaze of the master, Cai Lian shivered and glanced at Gu Jingzhi for help. Gu Jingzhi didn't know what to do and turned his head away.
Cai Lian knelt on the ground helplessly and kowtowed, "Master, I am Wu Chao!"
"What? What are you talking about, little girl?" Gu Chuancheng shouted.
Cai Lian kowtowed again and cried: "Master, I have always been a girl. Gu Fan asked me to dress up as a boy, but he didn't let me say it!" The master's face was scary, and Cai Lian told the truth.
"Did that little bastard Gu Fan ask you to do it? Why?" Gu Chuancheng's eyes widened with anger. He turned around and saw that Gu Jingzhi didn't dare to look at him. He walked over and grabbed his arm, "Tell me, do you know? "
Gu Jingzhi had no choice but to kneel on the ground and apologized: "Master, my disciple also knows that Gu Fan saw that Cai Lian was a prodigy in martial arts, and he was afraid that she was just a girl. Master, you would not accept her as your disciple, so he went out." It is my fault that my disciple concealed this plan together with them!"
Gu Chuancheng raised his hand and slowly lowered it. Although Gu Jingzhi was his apprentice, he was the future head of the Gu family. How could he offend his master as a guard! He cursed, "That's unreasonable!" He waved his hands forcefully and stood beside the old Marquis angrily.
At this time, the convoy from behind also caught up. It turned out that it was Gu Ye and Pingan with thirty servants, followed by more than ten carriages.
Cai Shi and Jing Hui are going to Beidi with Gu Ye, and they are accompanied by Kang Ping, a junior official from the Arms Department of the Ministry of Industry.
What surprised people was that Zhang Linggu actually came with two carriages.
"Zhang Linggu, why are you here?" Caiwei asked excitedly.
Zhang Linggu was sitting in the car. He had a few bruises on his face from the beating he received from Gu Jingzhi when he was listening to Xuexuan last time.
He flattened his mouth and said angrily: "Don't you know why I'm here? You're asking even though you know it!" Why don't I want to be with you forever and ever? However, he was afraid of Gu Jingzhi's ancestor and did not dare to speak out.
