Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.

Although Xie Mohuan had some martial arts skills and had trained her physical strength for many years, she could carry thirty or forty pounds, but she was powerless to carry this huge pile of things.

She was, after all, a woman, and her physical strength couldn't compare to that of an adult man.

"Sigh, if I had known, I would have told my third sister-in-law not to bring us so much. How are we going to carry all this stuff with us?"

As Xie Mohuan spoke, she looked at the pile of things in front of her with a troubled expression.

She was somewhat annoyed. If she had known this day would come, she would have intensified her physical and arm strength training. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been unable to take so much food and supplies with her.

But they had to bring these things with them, otherwise they would starve to death in the jungle.

Xie Mu was also having a headache, as his leg had to be injured at this particular time.

The princess said that if this injury is not properly healed, it will leave lasting effects. As a guard, if he suffers from these effects, it will be like leaving the enemy with a fatal weakness.

Just when the two were at their wits' end, Xie Mu's eyes suddenly lit up as he stared at the four-wheeled thing not far away, his face beaming with joy.

"By the way, Mo Huan, didn't the princess just say that thing is called a 'cart'? She also said that this 'cart' thing can help us tow things. You should try it out and see how it works."

Xie Mohuan followed his gaze and saw a flat object lying not far away, with four wheels on it.

But this thing is really very different from the car in her mind.

Third Sister-in-law did mention earlier that this thing is called a "cart" and can help them haul things, but she really couldn't imagine how this flat thing could help them haul things, since there wasn't even a place to put things.

"Then I'll go take a look."

Xie Mohuan was still somewhat unwilling to give up. He got up, walked to the car, lifted it off the ground, and examined it carefully.

The car was quite heavy, and it took her a lot of effort to lift it and place it in front of her, carefully examining it from all angles.

The items were brought over by Third Sister-in-law; she wouldn't have brought them over for no reason. Since Third Sister-in-law said that this thing called a "cart" could help them transport supplies, it must have that function.

She held the item and examined it several times. Just as Xie Mu was about to take it to check, Xie Mohuan touched something, and with a "crack," the flattened car instantly fell apart.

Xie Mohuan was startled, thinking she had broken the thing. She quickly lifted the car with both hands and gently placed it on the ground.

The car, which had been a mess in his hands, stood up after being placed on the ground, with the wheels at the bottom, a groove-like object on top, and a handle in front that looked like it could be pulled along.

The two were shocked; this thing could actually transform!

Xie Mu pointed impatiently at the things beside him, "Quick, Mo Huan, move all those supplies into the car and try it out, see if it's really as the princess said."

The princess said this car is amazing; it can hold a lot of things.

The princess also said that even if he, a grown man, sat in the car, it would be more than enough to pull him along, but he dared not sit in it, as it looked extremely precious.

Although Xie Mohuan also found it somewhat unbelievable, she still moved most of the supplies from the ground to the car.

She tried moving the handrail of the car, and sure enough, the car went wherever she wanted it to go.

Xie Mohuan pulled the cart around the area, without much effort.

Now she was completely excited. With this vehicle, she wouldn't have to worry about transporting supplies at all.

The two were already in a much better mood, and now they had no more worries.

They have food and drink, a fire, warm clothes, and now a vehicle to transport supplies. Life couldn't be better.

They believed that it wouldn't be long before they caught up with the team and reunited with everyone.

The two didn't waste any more time. They rested for a while before putting all the supplies into the car, taking out the map Ji Yunshu had given them, and heading in the direction they were heading.

It started to rain, and the two of them took out the raincoats that Ji Yunshu had left for them and put them on. They didn't get too wet.

Not long after, the two disappeared into the jungle.

Not long after they left, several men dressed as guards found their way to the place where they had just rested.

One of the guards said, "I clearly heard a sound from here, and I saw a huge black bird fly out from here in mid-air."

"Yes, I heard it too. I clearly heard a woman's voice coming from the riverbank just now, but where did it go?"

The group searched the spot for a while longer, and finally found some strange things next to a large rock.

One of the guards picked up the packaging bag from the ground, and several people examined it.

"What is this? I've never seen anything like it before. Does anyone recognize it?"

"I don't recognize it, but I seem to vaguely remember that the princess held something similar to this a few times. It was very brightly colored and had colorful patterns on it."

"Are you sure you really saw the princess handle something like that?" one of the guards asked seriously.

The guard, who had been so confident, waved his hand dismissively. "I'm not sure, I'm not sure at all. I just glanced at it and it looked a bit like her. Besides, this place is so far from the main group, how could the princess possibly be here?!"

After hearing this, the guards were at a loss for what to do.

Having found this place, they found themselves surrounded by deep mountains and forests, with no way to continue their search.

After thinking it over, the group decided that one person would pick up all the items on the ground, take them back, and report the situation to the Crown Prince.

The others stayed behind to continue the search.

There was no other way; they couldn't go back until they completed the task assigned to them by the eldest prince.

I was already punished once, and if I go back and get punished again, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my life.

Rather than going back to their deaths, they'd rather stay here and do their job, find Xie Mohuan as soon as possible. Once they find Xie Mohuan, they can return to the team and even earn merit.

Suddenly, one of the guards spotted a row of footprints on the ground. "Hey, look! Aren't these footprints?"

"It does look like it. The ones on this side seem a bit shallower than the ones on that side. How can there be two sets of footprints, one side deeper than the other? Didn't Xie Mohuan disappear alone? Who was with her?"

"I don't know. Come on, let's follow these footprints. I'm sure we'll find them soon!"
