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

"If you don't have one, take one back. One is enough for the three of us. My eldest son, his wife, and I usually don't separate. We can share one signal flare if anything happens. You're often out and about, so you must take good care of yourself."

Upon hearing this, Madam Chen and Madam Li quickly nodded.

"Yes, third sister-in-law, the three of us basically stay together and don't separate. This hidden weapon and signal flare are enough for the three of us to share; you should keep the rest on your person."

"Third sister-in-law, don't worry, we won't run away. If you're going to find Xiaolan and Xie Lin, what if you encounter that kind of monster again? You won't be able to manage without hidden weapons!"

Ji Yunshu felt a warmth in her heart. At times like these, everyone in the Prince's Mansion would care for each other and stick together for warmth. That's what a family is all about.

"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, mother, don't worry. I still have plenty of those hidden weapons and signal flares. I can supply as many as you need. In short, I have channels to purchase them."

Don't worry, just use it when you need it. When we get to a flatter area ahead and everyone rests, I might take the opportunity to go out and look for Xiaolan and Xielin.

Don't worry, I'll be fine and will bring them both back soon. As for the affairs of the team, I'll leave them to you."

Chen and Li exchanged a glance and nodded solemnly.

"Alright, Third Sister-in-law, don't worry, we'll take care of Third Brother and Mother."

Too many things have happened in the team these past two days. First, Mo Huan got separated from them, and then Xiao Lan and Xie Lin.

In any case, the team must not be short any more people, and there must be no more accidents.

They were worried about Xie Lin and Xiao Lan, and also didn't feel comfortable letting Ji Yunshu go out alone. They wanted to go with her to look for them, but Ji Yunshu wouldn't take them with her.

They were extremely worried and could only repeatedly tell Ji Yunshu to be careful.

Ji Yunshu originally wanted to talk to the people in the Prince's Mansion about the space, but there were too many people around, so to avoid arousing suspicion, she could only find another opportunity next time.

Just then, Zhang Lizheng and Old Man Zhao, along with Xiao Ergou and several young men, walked over. All of them looked rather somber.

They were also very upset about what happened.

Zhang Lizheng sighed. "Your Highness, we heard that you plan to go to the bottom of the cliff to find Xie Lin and Xiao Lan. Xiao Er Gou and the others also want to go with you. They travel through the forest year-round and are familiar with the terrain. Taking them along will make things much easier for you."

Besides, many hands make light work, and we can find them quickly. Take them with you; we'll wait for you up ahead.

No matter what, we must find Sherlin and Xiaolan.

If he weren't so old, and going along would only cause trouble instead of being of help, he definitely would have gone.

He was heartbroken watching what he just witnessed. Xie Lin and Xiao Lan were such good people; they had taken such good care of them all along the way. Whether they were alive or dead, they had to find them.

I want to see him alive, or I want to see his body if he's dead.

After Zhang Lizheng finished speaking, Xiao Ergou and the others stood in front of Ji Yunshu, each with their heads held high and their expressions resolute.

"Yes, Your Highness, don't worry, we'll go with you and we'll definitely bring Xiaolan and Xielin back safely."

Ji Yunshu felt a little sore, but still refused Xiao Ergou and the others' suggestion.

"No need. All the villagers in the team depend on you for care. If you leave, there will be no one to look after this place, and I won't feel at ease."

I've memorized where they fell. Once I find the bottom of the cliff, I'll head straight there and I'm sure I'll find them.

The jungle is dangerous. You must all take good care of everyone while I'm gone.

Sherlin and Xiaolan were in the space at this moment, not at the bottom of the cliff.

She was just looking for an excuse to go out and check on the two of them in the space; naturally, she couldn't bring anyone else with her.

Xiao Ergou opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Ji Yunshu.

"Alright, that's settled then. I have my own methods for finding people. You all should quickly gather everyone and leave this place."

This was the edge of a cliff, and the wind was strong. After staying there for a while, she felt cold all over and had to leave quickly.

Seeing this, Xiao Ergou and the others finally said nothing more.

Ji Yunshu took out the map Xie Moyao had drawn earlier from her bosom. The map showed that they were now at a cliff.

We've passed this dangerous area. From here, keep going straight, climb up a bit more, and then go downhill until you reach a slightly flatter area.

However, they felt chilled to the bone here; the temperature on the mountain must have been incredibly low.

Although the temperature may be extremely low, the most fortunate thing is that there are no steep roads like before.

She handed the map to Xiao Er Gou.

"Here, this is a map that the prince drew before. He drew several maps, and this one is for you. In the time I'm not with the group, you will lead everyone to continue the journey."

This road is difficult to walk, and the temperature gets lower as you go up the mountain. Make sure everyone wears all the clothes they can. If they really don't have any clothes, make some torches.

If you notice anyone acting strangely, stop and rest. Anyway, the Prince is in the group; you can talk to him if you need anything.

Xiao Ergou took the blueprints and nodded solemnly.

"Yes, Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely follow your instructions and take good care of everyone."

As the two were talking, Ling Yun walked over from the side. "Your Highness, are you going to find Xie Lin and Xiao Lan? Why don't I send two officers with you? They've gone missing, so finding them is our responsibility."

As the head of the constables, he couldn't leave the group; otherwise, he would have liked to go with Ji Yunshu to search for him himself.

Ji Yunshu was somewhat surprised, not expecting Ling Yun to take the initiative to send someone with him to find Xie Lin and Xiao Lan.

Ling Yun had never even blinked at the many deaths and disappearances that had occurred in the exile ranks before.

Regardless of Ling Yun's true intentions, she cannot take anyone with her when she leaves the team this time.

"No need. The jungle is full of dangers. If something happens, I'll have to take care of them. Besides, don't worry, I'll definitely bring them back without you following me."

Ling Yun opened his mouth, wanting to say that this was not what he meant, but Ji Yunshu did not intend to pay attention to him anymore. She turned around, gave Xie Moyao a few instructions, and then told everyone to set off.

Ji Yunshu, Xiao Lan, and Xie Lin were not in the group, so the task of taking care of Xie Moyao was handed over to Xiao Ergou and several other young and strong villagers.

Xie Moyao's leg injury is now at a critical stage of recovery. Ji Yunshu was initially a little worried, but she was relieved when Xiao Ergou and several villagers patted their chests and assured her that they would protect Xie Moyao.

Before leaving, she took advantage of everyone's inattention to throw all the sponges from her original bundle into her spatial storage, and took out a lot of compressed biscuits, chocolates, and candies from her spatial store and stuffed them into her bundle.

The once light and airy bundle has now become bulging and heavy.
