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

Because the cart he was carrying was nothing like the heavy weight Xiaolan and Chen had described!

The cart was so light that, even with the box, it felt like it weighed only a few dozen kilograms at most.

I thought it would be very difficult, but I didn't expect it to be so easy to walk.

He even suspected that the gold in the box might have been switched; a thousand taels of gold couldn't possibly be so light.

It seems that once he reaches the other side, he'll have to have a good talk with the princess and ask her to open the chest and check if the gold inside is still there.

He looked puzzled, unable to understand what was going on.

When others saw his expression, they assumed he was struggling to carry such a heavy load up the cliff.

Xiao Ergou and the others wanted to help, but the cliff was too narrow, and there was no point in them going over there now; it would only make things more complicated.

As time passed, the two got closer and closer to the shore. Xiao Lan, Chen Shi, Xiao Er Gou, and others were already standing on the edge of the cliff, waiting to help them catch up.

Before long, they were only one step away from the cliff.

This is the spot where Chu Jinsheng kicked those two guards down because they were dawdling.

This place is quite far from the cliff edge, and there's nowhere to step in between. You have to jump to the shore in one go, otherwise, hanging in mid-air with nothing to hold onto, you could easily slip to the bottom of the cliff.

Sherin was noticeably more nervous than before, gripping the cart tightly and trying various footwork techniques to jump over the step, but no matter what he did, he couldn't get over it.

The distance was too far, and he was carrying a cart. If he jumped, he would have to put the cart down.

However, Ji Yunshu couldn't grab both the cart and the box at the same time while he was behind. Moreover, once he got across, Ji Yunshu would also need to move the cart and the box across as well.

Xiao Lan and Chen Shi seemed to have realized the problem as well, and the two stood there anxiously.

"What are we going to do? Schelling can't jump over it!"

Xiao Ergou also tried, leading the other young men, having them grab one of his hands while he extended his other hand to help Xie Lin, but it still didn't work; he couldn't pull the cart and the boxes.

The group stood there trembling with anxiety, trying new methods to pull Sherlin, the cart, and the boxes over together.

Xie Lin was quite frustrated. He couldn't think of any other way, and he even considered throwing the bundle on his shoulder onto the shore.

The bundle on his shoulder was so light that from this distance, he could probably throw it onto the shore with all his might.

And the cart and box in his hand were incredibly light; he felt he could easily toss them ashore in one go. He just didn't know if the cart was sturdy enough, or if the box containing the gold was of good quality, lest it break when he threw it.

Thinking this, he tugged at the bundle on his shoulder, intending to throw it onto the shore.

Ji Yunshu stood behind, intending to take out another tool from her spatial storage to help her and Xie Lin get through this area. Looking up, she saw Xie Lin's actions.

"Sherling, what are you doing?"

"Your Highness, we're not far from the shore. With a little effort, I can throw this bundle over. Why don't I throw it over here?"

Anyway, there's nothing heavy inside. And this cart and boxes don't look very heavy either. I'm thinking of just tossing them over. If they break, we can just fix them once we get there."

This was the best solution he could think of; it was better than throwing away the cart and the thousand taels of gold. That was a thousand taels of gold, and he would rather die than lose it.

Ji Yunshu's lips twitched slightly.

There was nothing in Sherlin's bundle and box. If Sherlin threw the bundle over like that, and it fell apart, wouldn't everyone see the sponge inside?

Uh……

No no no.

"What are you throwing? I'm trying to figure out a way. This cliff is so high, if you throw yourself off, I won't be able to catch you."

"Wait a minute, let me see if there's any rope or anything else here. Let's tie these things up first, then slowly move them over."

With that, Sherlin had no choice but to abandon his previous idea and put the bag back on his back.

"Alright, Your Highness, take a look first. If there's really no other way, then use my method. Don't worry, leave the repair of this cart to me. I'll use a little finesse to try and avoid damaging the cart."

As he was saying this, Xie Moyao's voice came faintly from the crowd.

"No need, Xiao Ergou. You take a few men and go to the nearby woods to cut down a big tree. Try to choose a large one that can support their weight."

Lay the tree under their feet, so that people and things can pass through, and there's no need to look for ropes anymore.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up.

Oh right, how come they didn't think of such a simple method!

Xiao Ergou, along with several strong young men, grabbed a knife from the side and excitedly disappeared into the nearby woods.

Ji Yunshu and Xie Lin, who were on the cliff, also heard Xie Moyao's words.

Ji Yunshu immediately dismissed her idea. Compared to taking the risk herself to retrieve tools from her spatial storage, Xie Moyao's method was more suitable.

Before long, Xiao Ergou and several strong young men emerged from the woods, carrying a log side by side.

The piece of wood was about as thick as an adult man's arm, and it looked straight and sturdy.

When they cut down the trees, they deliberately left some branches exposed, using them to lean against the cliff for some support.

With the combined efforts of Xiao Ergou and the others, they slowly moved the long log in their hands to Xie Lin's feet, finally finding a suitable spot and securing it.

"Xelyn, Princess, please take your time. Don't worry, we'll hold this piece of wood down firmly and prevent it from slipping!"

"Okay, we're coming right now."

As Xie Lin spoke, he turned his head and nodded to Ji Yunshu behind him, "Your Highness, please be careful. We're about to begin."

"Mmm," Ji Yunshu responded softly.

With the logs as support, they walked on them much more easily. Not only did their feet not slip, but they could also lean one side of the cart against the logs and glide slowly. As long as they held onto the other side of the cart, it wouldn't fall over.

With the help of the wood, the two soon reached the shore.

Sherin had one foot on the ground. He smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he was safe and sound.

Seeing this, Xiao Ergou told the other men to hold down the wood they were holding, while he quickly got up to help Xie Lin.

At this moment, Xiao Lan and Chen Shi also arrived at the shore. The three of them huddled together, preparing to take the bundle from Xie Lin's body.

"what!"

"Be careful!"
