Chapter 190 I'll help you!

Xin Nian pulled Xiao Jinzhi away to a distance, took out two stools and a table from her spatial storage, and the two sat down side by side.

Then, the little girl took out half a chilled watermelon and two spoons.

"eat!"

"This is a treat for you." Her eyes blinked, shining like the stars in the sky.

Xiao Jinzhi couldn't help but smile.

"you……"

Before he could finish his sentence, Xin Nian quickly scooped a spoonful and put it into his mouth.

"Don't hold it in if you feel unwell, tell me as soon as possible." Xin Nian handed him the spoon so he could scoop the food himself.

"This melon is very nutritious."

"That's right, my mother planted them. She's the best farmer in the world. I'm not bragging, but back in the base, no one could grow as much as my mother."

"The base? Is it your old hometown?"

"I guess so." Xin Nian nodded, scooping out a spoonful of watermelon. "The base is our home that we rebuilt after the disaster."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Post-disaster reconstruction is very difficult. But we humans are social animals, and rebuilding our homes is definitely an inevitable path."

"Eat quickly." Xin Nian smiled at him, turning her head slightly. "As long as you're alive, keep trying."

Xiao Jinzhi nodded, "Don't worry, it will definitely work."

"By the way, when you left the palace, did you take a lot of supplies?"

Xiao Jinzhi nodded, "I took everything from the storeroom. Oh, and I also moved all the items from the Emperor's palace before I left."

"If there's not enough room, load it onto a truck and transport it to the northern wilderness. We didn't leave him a single hair."

Xin Nian was somewhat shocked, staring at him blankly for a while, "You're doing this to your father, won't he be furious?"

Xiao Jinzhi couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I've already left, how would I know if I angered him to death? But don't worry, the emperor is very tough. Don't be fooled by his apparent decline in health in recent years, he actually takes tonics every day and cherishes his life. I reckon he's not dead."

“After all, he is the emperor. According to the traditional sayings of the Imperial Observatory, he may possess some dragon energy,” Xiao Jinzhi analyzed. “It shouldn’t be a problem for him to stumble his way to Xishan County. But whether he can survive in Xiao Mingduo’s hands is another matter.”

"If it weren't for this unavoidable fire, Xiao Mingduo would have already surrounded Shengjing with his troops by now."

Xin Nian's eyes lit up. "I'll help you. Don't be afraid! Your Highness, you are beautiful and kind-hearted. If you have to support someone to ascend the throne, it will definitely be you."

Xiao Jinzhi chuckled, "Shengjing is long gone now. That's fine, I don't care about that damned throne anyway."

"Then we'll go to the Northern Wilderness and become kings of the mountains."

Xiao Jinzhi nodded repeatedly, "Then I'll help you, and you can become the queen of the mountain."

Xin Nian glanced at him expressionlessly, "Don't listen to my father's nonsense."

She doesn't even want to be the leader of the group, so who has the patience to be a queen who has to work so hard!

Thankless.

"I just want to live my own simple life." That perfectly describes her—naive and innocent.

Xiao Jinzhi hummed in agreement. "That's fine then. Let's make the most of our lives together."

Xin Nian always felt that there was something strange about these words.

"By the way, can I take a look at the condensed beads I made for you earlier?"

She was very curious.

After receiving the Ningzhu from Xiao Jinzhi, she was even more intrigued, touching it and admiring it so much that she couldn't put it down.

"Wow, the condensation beads I used to make were much bigger than these!"

“Mmm.” Xiao Jinzhi deeply agreed, “It feels like it’s endless. Last time I packed so much stuff, and I still felt like there was some space left.”

Xin Nian clicked her tongue twice, praising herself, "As expected of me. Amazing!"

Xiao Jinzhi couldn't help but laugh out loud. Niannian was so interesting. Being with her, he felt there were endless new topics to talk about, and time flew by.

The two chatted for half an hour before it was over.

But then she saw the little vines waving and climbing up to her ear to deliver a message.

"My mother is looking for me." Xin Nian quickly divided the remaining watermelon with Xiao Jinzhi and finished it in no time.

She raised her hand and channeled some healing power into the prince, saying, "Next time you can't stand the heat, tell me earlier."

"Oh, by the way, put these two bottles of chilled plum juice in your own space." Xin Nian grinned. "My mom made them herself, they're delicious!"

"If you still feel hot on the way, secretly pour yourself a drink."

"Okay." Xiao Jinzhi's eyes were gentle as he smiled and nodded at her.

Xin Nian quickly gathered up the tables, chairs, benches, and watermelon rinds, grabbed his slender fingers, and disappeared on the spot with a "whoosh".

After several teleportations, the two returned to the team.

Zhu Yanliuhuo silently glanced at his crown prince.

Commander Hu behind him had his eyes practically rolling back to the sky...

Yes, he now truly believed that from the very beginning, his prince had insisted on joining the exile team!
Commander Hu felt ashamed when he thought about how he had wronged the Sixth Sister.

"Your Highness, please be more careful! That horse-faced brat behind you is already secretly mocking you for pretending to be weak, you sorcerer!"

Horse-faced boy Ling Luo: ? ? ?
No, where does he have a horse face? This is a personal attack, a slander!

Xin Nian returned to her father's side with cheerful steps.

Seeing that her father was still struggling to carry her younger brother, she pulled him off his back and put him directly onto the mule cart.

The little boy was still half asleep when Xin Nian put him between two burlap sacks. He lay flat and wouldn't roll around. She also put a small bag of millet rations behind his head. It was much better than him lying on his father's body, drooling in his sleep.

perfect!

"Dad, wait for me." Xin Nian ran over and tugged at Xin Zhe and Xin Man'er's hands.

A mule cart with one baby is enough to allow the baby to sleep well without adding too much weight.

Upon seeing this, Madam Yu remarked with emotion, "Nian is truly a good child."

However, Madam Nie had a distressed look on her face, as if she was about to cry but couldn't.

Her legs ached, but she didn't dare to slow everyone down. Everyone else was walking, and no one dared to say a word, so she could only grit her teeth and persevere.

All the members reminisced about the old horse-drawn carriages and oxcarts.

Xin Nian understood, but she couldn't take it out right now.

The main problem is that this wasteland is too difficult to traverse, and the soil gets hot from time to time. Let the three mules test the waters for a few days first. If the three mules die, she will at least have other livestock to use. She can't just dig them all out at once.

These days, livestock are far more useful than people. They can haul goods and carry people, so they must be taken good care of. She would be heartbroken if even one of them were to die.

The group walked from nightfall to dawn.

As soon as the sun came out, everyone felt the temperature rise even more, and the hot people kept wiping away sweat and taking out bamboo tubes to drink water.

Around noon, the regimental commander gave the order to "rest in place."

The crowd felt as if they had been granted a pardon. Many people who had just collapsed to the ground sprawled out were suddenly scalded and jumped up, screaming in pain.

All around was ruins, not a single patch of green to be seen, let alone any big trees to enjoy the shade.

Everyone stood there with sorrowful expressions, not daring to sit down even casually.

Xin Nian felt sorry for them and took pity on them.

Everyone behaved very well along the way, without crying or making a fuss, and persevered through gritted teeth.

If that's the case, then let's give them a private room...
