Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

It’s not that these people were surprised, it’s that the composition of Cheng Wan’s team and their animals was too complicated.

At the front of the team, Mu Yao took the lead on horseback.

Behind Mu Yao were dozens of well-dressed and strong men riding horses.

Those were all Mu Yao's men.

At this point, anyone who comes to take a quick look will know that the background of this group of people is definitely not simple.

However, in the middle of the team, Cheng Wan and his team started to look a little strange.

Cart, mule cart, horse-drawn cart, mule-pulled cart.

The things on the trolley were various and tattered.

No matter how you look at these things, they don't match up with Mu Yao and his dozens of men at the front.

Behind these vehicles and animals, which are not very uniform and neat, are Cheng Daping, Cheng Erping and Deng Xiong who are riding on horses with tense faces.

The people on both sides of the Zhongdao Gate looked at Mrs. Lin and others sitting in the front room of the carriage, and the three particularly conspicuous Cheng Daping, and their hearts were full of doubts.

what's the situation? These people don't look like they belong to a powerful family.

The clothes still have patches on them, and they are not blind.

Ordinarily, people who have access to the middle door, even their servants, should not wear patched clothes.

Not only the people on both sides of the Zhongdao Gate were confused, but even the general soldiers guarding the city gate were also confused.

"What are you doing, Your Highness? What are the origins of those people in rags, and why did you return to the city with His Highness? Your Highness actually let them enter the city from the Zhongdao Gate together?"

Carriage after carriage passed in front of these people and drove into the middle gate one after another. Some people asked the people next to them in good faith.

"Eh? Have you counted? How many carriages are there in total? Why do these carriages look so...so inconsistent?"

"I counted, there are eight carriages! I wonder who are the people in the carriages? They don't look like rich people."

"If you are not a wealthy person, you can't sit down with ordinary people like us, right?"

"Then who can say for sure? Didn't you see that the few people exposed outside look worse than us!"

……

What these people didn't know was that only two of the eight carriages in this team actually contained the wealthy people they mentioned.

The other six carriages were filled with refugees who were worse than ordinary people.

Cheng Wan's team originally had only two carriages.

These two carriages were modified from a carriage and a mule carriage that Xu Zhinian gave to the Cheng family at the beginning of their escape.

Gu Yan was lying in one of the carriages before.

After meeting Mu Yao, it was naturally impossible for Mu Yao to let Gu Yan continue to lie in the Cheng family's carriage when he was on the road every day.

He thought the carriage was too crude and uncomfortable.

So after arriving in Qinghua County, Mu Yao arranged for his men to find a master to specially order a carriage for Gu Yan.

The horse is ready-made, but in fact it only lacks a carriage.

After the carriage was ordered, Gu Yan was moved into the new carriage by Mu Yao.

In addition to ordering a carriage for Gu Yan, Mu Yao also arranged for people to buy five carriages at once.

Put these five carriages on the idle horses in the team, and the team will have five more carriages.

The people counted a total of eight carriages coming this way.

Those five carriages were prepared by Mu Yao for ordinary people like Cheng Wan.

With these five carriages, basically no one in the team needs to walk on their legs.

Mu Yao didn't give Cheng Wan and the others a chance to refuse, and directly arranged everything forcefully.

As for Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Song's luggage and trolleys, they were clearly arranged by Mu Yao's men.

Just wait until it reaches the right place and then return it to its original owner.

If it weren't for the fact that Gu Yan and Shao Qing were injured and couldn't hurry up, Cheng Wan and the others would have arrived at Shuoyang City long ago.

However, it was precisely because they were traveling slowly that Cheng Daping, Cheng Erping, and Deng Xiong took this opportunity to learn horse riding from Mu Yao's men.

At this time, the three of them were already following the team on horseback, and they were already riding in style.

After the very unorganized middle section of the queue passed, the back section of the queue was as neat and tidy as the front section.

Mu Yao’s dozens of other subordinates.

As the last two Mu Yao's men drove their horses completely into the Zhongdao Gate, Cheng Wan and his team finally entered Shuoyang City.

At the city gate, the coming and going again resumed.

But there were still people discussing in low voices who Cheng Wan and the others were.

Human curiosity is endless.

It's normal.

Inside Shuoyang City.

As soon as Cheng Wan and the other "country bumpkins" entered the city, they felt the bustle and excitement of this city, the first city in Liangzhou.

Cheng Wan opened the car window and peeked out.

As far as the eye can see, there are hundreds of flowers and flowers on the eight streets and nine roads.

This city was much more prosperous and lively than she expected.

Cheng Wan thought about what he had seen since entering Liangzhou, and couldn't help but feel certain.

At present, it seems that Prince Rui is indeed more reliable than Prince An and the new emperor.

Xu Zhinian was also looking out, with obvious excitement on her face.

"I have only learned about Shuoyang City from my uncle's letters before. This is the first time I have seen this city with my own eyes."

Xu Zhinian turned to look at Cheng Wan and said with high spirits: "Ah Wan, it's much more beautiful than I imagined."

Cheng Wan looked at Xu Zhinian's smiling face, feeling bitter in her heart.

Until now, she has not told Xu Zhinian about her parents.

She really didn't know how to speak.

I kept it from Xu Zhinian at first because I wanted her not to be too sad on the way to escape and to have enough energy to carry her through the escape.

Later, when I met Mu Shizi and the others, they were able to get to Shuoyang City easily and smoothly.

She really couldn't bear to ruin Xu Zhinian's good mood.

I always want to make her happy one day at a time, but I don’t know until later.

Now that we have arrived at Shuoyang City, Cheng Wan feels a rare tangle in his heart.

Cheng Wan took a deep breath. It was too difficult to tell bad news to a friend.

"Near!"

"Near!"

"Zhishu!"

Xu Zhinian's apricot eyes widened instantly, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "Mother!"

"It's my mother's voice!"

"Haruwen! Haruwen!"

Chunwen, who was sitting in the front room, opened the curtain and shouted excitedly: "Miss! It's the madam! I see the madam!"

"parking!"

Xu Zhinian could no longer care about anything else and quickly got out of the carriage, not forgetting to pull Xu Zhishu along with him.

"Quick, Zhishu, it's mother!"

Xu Zhishu hurriedly followed his sister with his short legs and ducked out.

Cheng Wan hugged Gu Yu and stared blankly at everything in front of her until she saw Xu Zhinian and Xu Zhishu hurriedly exiting the carriage.

She lowered her head and looked at Gu Yu in her arms, her eyes blankly asking: "What...what's going on?"
