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

When Ling Yun said this, everyone else almost burst into tears.

I originally wanted to take this opportunity to see if anyone had tried to escape, but now look what happened! I never expected that these officials would be so dedicated at this critical moment!

Ji Yunshu didn't care; she had no intention of running away at all.

She actually quite wants to stay with Ling Yun and the others now. With Ling Yun and the others with them, the people in the Prince's Mansion will be safer. After all, they are government officials, and those who are timid generally won't dare to approach them, which can help them avoid a lot of trouble.

She doesn't care about that wretched place, the capital. Sooner or later, she will definitely build a city that is even more prosperous than the capital and amaze the emperor!

The carriage swayed and rocked, and after a while, its speed gradually slowed down.

"Mmmmmm!"

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"

A commotion arose outside the carriage.

Looking out through the gap in the carriage curtain, Ji Yunshu saw that all the carriages had stopped, and directly in front of them was a place that looked like a mountain stronghold.

The gates of the stronghold were wide open, and a group of henchmen darted out like monkeys, shouting and gesturing excitedly as they ran out.

I go.

Have they arrived at the Water Curtain Cave of Flower and Fruit Mountain?

Speaking of which, this mountain stronghold is really big, dozens of times larger than the small villa in her space.

These bandits must have been entrenched here for a long time to have built such a large-scale stronghold.

With that kind of audacity, it's no wonder they even dared to kidnap government officials.

She had no idea what the mountain stronghold was like; she had never seen a bandit stronghold before.

Ji Yunshu was quite excited to be able to experience these things firsthand, having only ever seen them on television before.

The bandit leader leaped off his horse, pointed to the carriage behind him, and said to his underlings,

"All of this is thanks to Boss Wu and Boss Wu. I said they should be rewarded handsomely. They can pick whatever they want from here, and the rest should be piled up in the warehouse! As for those half-dead people, lock them in the woodshed. If any of them disobey, tie them up and use them as examples!"

After he finished speaking, the group of bandits in front of him raised their hands and cheered incessantly, muttering words that Ji Yunshu could not understand.

If Ji Yunshu hadn't been certain that these bandits looked and spoke similarly to them, she would have thought they had been taken to some primitive tribe.

As they were observing, they saw Wu Laoda and Wu Laoer walk towards their two carriages. They first got into the first carriage, and after a moment, they got off and walked to their carriage. Ji Yunshu quickly gestured for everyone to close their eyes and lie down.

Just as the group had settled in, the carriage curtain was lifted.

"Hey bro, I remember that little guy was with a girl, where did they all go? The little guy is gone, and the girl is gone too? How could you be so careless? Didn't I tell you to keep a closer eye on him!"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Are you implying that the person I was watching escaped? You saw me drug him, and you were the one who tied him up with me. I've been keeping an eye on him ever since you left. He's just a little kid; what ability does he have to escape!"

That baby's fur hasn't even fully grown in yet; it looks like it's only a few days old. How could it run away? Tell me, how could it run away?

"Quickly search them! They should be in those two carriages. Check if they've been crushed to the bottom; don't let the little ones suffocate, it'll affect their taste!"

As they talked, the two searched the carriage, turning the people lying down over and tossing them back and forth.

Everyone kept their eyes closed, no one daring to open them first. The two brothers were clearly in a bad mood, and now they seemed to be looking for something again.

If something can't be found, whoever is the first to open their eyes might be made an example of.

"Damn it, it's really not there! Where did it go?!"

"That little thing, it won't have fallen off on the way, will it?"

"I don't know, it's possible. What do we do now? Luckily, we haven't told our older brother about the little one yet, otherwise, if we lost him, he would scold us to death!"

"Damn it, the duck that was almost in our hands has flown away. Only the two of us know about this. Let's not mention it to anyone else, lest our elder brother blames us."

Anyway, there are so many here, we won't miss those two. It's just a pity about the woman and the little baby. The woman looks like she was spoiled, her skin is so tender, and that little baby... sigh.

The two men got off the carriage, cursing and swearing. It wasn't until the carriage curtain was lowered that everyone opened their eyes.

Everyone heard what Wu Laoda and Wu Laoer said and understood what they meant. They were probably looking for the newborn baby from Li Shi and the Wang Mansion.

The crowd looked at each other, but no one spoke. The words spoken by Wu Lao Da and Wu Lao Er were quite chilling.

They were looking for the baby, not seemingly to play with or anything like that, but rather...

The old princess was intelligent. Recalling what Wu Laoda and Wu Laoer had just said, her face paled, and she instinctively grabbed Ji Yunshu's wrist, her nails turning white with tension.

"Third brother's wife, quick, quick, find your eldest sister-in-law and her child!"

The rest of the Wang family members panicked and frantically searched the corners of the carriage. Although they knew the Wu brothers had already thoroughly searched the carriage, they still clung to a sliver of hope.

The carriage was only so big, and when they went to rummage through it, no one stopped them; they even made room for them.

No matter how many times they searched, they still couldn't find Li Shi and the baby in the carriage.

The people in the Prince's mansion were so anxious that tears welled up in their eyes.

"Third Sister-in-law, have you seen Eldest Sister-in-law? Have you seen Eldest Sister-in-law? Isn't she always with us? Where is she? And where's the little one? Where's my nephew?!"

"Third sister-in-law, third brother, you two wake up first. Did you see your sister-in-law when you came over? She was lying with us in the house. Is she in any of the other carriages? Is it possible that she's in one of the other carriages?"

"How could this be? Where are the First Madam and the Young Master? I'll go back and find them!" Xie Lin said, getting up from the carriage.

As a guard of the Prince's mansion, the safety of everyone in the mansion was related to him. Now that the First Madam and the Young Master were gone, Xie Lin felt very guilty, as he had failed to protect the First Madam and the Young Master.

Xie Moyao was getting anxious, so he lifted the carriage curtain and tried to call Xie Mu out.

"Wait, wait, don't rush." ​​Ji Yunshu quickly grabbed his hand back and lowered the carriage curtain.
