Dressed as a subjugated princess, I will take my husband into exile with me

Just as everyone was waiting, bursts of laughter came from the road ahead.

"Hahaha... Don't be nervous, my brothers and I are just asking for some life!" Surrounded by his brothers, Zhang Dahu came to the front of the team.

The position where he stopped happened to be opposite Zhu Li, "This official, do you think the people here are all exiled prisoners?"

Zhang Dahu determined the status of Commander Zhu Li based on the difference in clothing.

"You know that the imperial court is doing something, but you still dare to make trouble?" Zhu Li was not inferior to him in terms of momentum.

Through the torches held by Zhang Dahu's men, everyone could see his appearance clearly in the firelight.

His hair was not too long, but it was hanging messily, without any care or restraint.

He has a thick beard, but it is neatly trimmed and has the same length.

There is a long scar on his face, and the color is darker. Especially when he smiles, the scar becomes even more terrifying.

"Haha, sir, don't be nervous." Zhang Dahu said and took a few steps forward alone.

The officials became more alert, but Zhu Li remained calm.

"You escorted a prisoner once and worked so hard. Aren't you just trying to earn that little hard-earned money in the end?"

"These exiled people were either rich or noble before."

"Even if you are a prisoner now, you are many times richer than us!"

"You ignore the official route and insist on passing through my territory. Aren't you forcing me to ask for some benefits?"

"Otherwise, how can I explain to the dozens of brothers behind me!"

"So, Mr. Guan, just turn a blind eye and let the brothers get some benefits. Then the road will turn upside down and we will each go our separate ways." Zhang Dahu always smiled and seemed to be discussing, but in fact he was already discussing. Threatened.

When he reported the news to his brother's newspaper that a group of exiled officials were passing through, he had already inquired about the situation before setting off.

There were only twenty officials, but there were more than a hundred prisoners.

However, those prisoners were not only helpless people, but most of them were old, weak, women and children.

They were all wearing shackles and had no ability to resist at all, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

He took a full fifty brothers down the mountain, leaving only a few young ones to watch over the top of the mountain.

The purpose is to outshine these officials in terms of force.

If they listened to his own persuasion and gave up resistance, everyone would not have to fight each other with swords. That would be the best situation.

However, if they refused to drink the toast and had to drink wine as a penalty, then he wouldn't mind and would give them a taste of the pain.

Zhu Li instantly understood what he meant. The number of people on the other side was far greater than theirs!

Of course he would not expect that the exiled people would be able to resist the bandits.

Therefore, for my twenty brothers to confront these bandits, it would be like throwing an egg against a stone.

Their mission is only to escort these people to Yunzhou as intact as possible.

But they have no obligation to protect their property. Who makes them unable to protect their property, but they have to take it with them on the road?

That's fine, let the bandits rob them all, and they will be more honest in the future!

However, allowing the bandits to commit robberies so rampantly under his nose was a bit unjustifiable in terms of face.

"My lord, those who know the current affairs are heroes. You should not sacrifice your brothers for these untouchables." Zhang Dahu still patiently persuaded.

After all, the other party is from the imperial court, and he doesn't want to make things worse unless he has to confront him head-on.

When I led my brothers on this road, most of the people they robbed were passing caravans, and it was rare to encounter such a large group of exiles.

As for these exiled people, although they and their immediate family members have been exiled, as long as those side clans are still there, they will not have less money.

Looting these prisoners is much better than robbing the caravan.

After a caravan was robbed, they would always go to the Yamen to file a complaint, which attracted the imperial court to come to suppress the bandits from time to time.

Although they cannot be annihilated every time, some losses will always be caused.

This time it was different. These people were already guilty and had nowhere to redress their grievances after being robbed.

As long as the escorting officer is not too busy, he and his brothers can easily do a big job!

"We brothers are not unethical people. When we receive the money later, we will naturally respect the official." Zhang Dahu offered the final benefit.

Zhu Li's originally wavering heart has now become firm.

His mission is to escort the exiled prisoners to Yunzhou, but in his heart, he always puts the safety of his brothers first.

Now he allowed the bandits to have their own way, even though it was a bit embarrassing.

But after the money is distributed, all the brothers will get the benefits. Who else will be dissatisfied with his decision?

People who were a little closer heard their conversation.

From the perspective of official duties, they did not think there was anything wrong with the commander compromising with the bandits.

They are just pawns escorting prisoners, not guards protecting the imperial ministers. There is no need to risk their lives for these people!

And when things are done, everyone will benefit, so why not?

When the exiled people heard this, they had a different mentality: they were finished, they had been abandoned in the face of safety and interests!

Without this money, the road ahead will definitely be more difficult.

Whether he can reach Yunzhou alive has become an unknown quantity.

I wanted to resist...but looking at the people around me who were as weak as myself, I gave up even that slim hope.

"Hmph, the officials and the gangsters are colluding together!" Su Yingyue shouted.

She was also the one who heard their conversation clearly, so she spoke with indignation now.

After she finished speaking, she did not forget to look through the crowd to see how Bai Aoshuang would react after her heroic performance.

However, the crowd was too dense and she was not tall enough. She only saw a piece of the other person's clothes!

It's a pity, she should have seen his admiring face, so that she wouldn't waste her risk in vain.

At first, she was actually scared to death, but after hearing the bandit say that he only wanted money, she plucked up the courage to say these words.

Although she still couldn't escape the fate of being robbed, she was much better than the woman who kept silent when in danger!

"Yue'er, shut up!" Su Jiukai didn't understand why his steady and sensible daughter would come forward at this time.

Su Yingxue also quietly tugged on her sister's sleeve to signal her not to take risks at this juncture.

However, once the words have been spoken, how can they be taken back by just keeping silent?

The officer and the bandit looked at the source of the sound at the same time, determined to find this daring woman.

They surrendered to the bandits and already felt angry.

But being accused in person is another matter.

The anger that had nowhere to vent seems to have found a breakthrough now...
