exile
When he left the mansion, another military general came to the expressionless woman at the head with a book, looked at it and asked, "But the criminal woman Duan?"
I saw her open her mouth and replied lightly, "Yes".
"The Duan family, the wife of the prisoner Qin Xuan, will be exiled to Lingnan from now on, and Xiang Tenian is a side clan of the Qin family, so his wife and husband are allowed to be exiled together, come and take it!"
The military general waved his hand as he spoke, and the soldier tied Duan Lianyi to the prisoner car.
The rest of the Qin Mansion and others fled in the wilderness, and overnight, it was dilapidated, attracting everyone in Yangzhou City to talk about it.
After a few days of wind and rain, the prisoner car traveled to a canyon, and Qin Xuan's hands and feet were chained, and he was guarded by four officials.
The sound of horses' hooves in the distance came from far to near, and when he got closer, Qin Xuan couldn't help but rush up a few steps when he saw the comer, but he was kicked down by the person behind him and fell to the ground.
The prisoner's cart had stopped, and the escort escorted the prisoner down, put heavy shackles on her, and pushed her, and Duan Lianyi staggered forward before he could stabilize his footing.
Qin Xuan stood up, and the people behind him held him and couldn't move, so he had to stand in place, watching the people on the other side slowly come towards him with chains, and the chains dragged on the ground and kicked.
His body began to tremble slightly, his eyes were filled with tears, and his heart was depressed, only secretly clenched his fists.
"Long time no see"
Duan Lianyi walked up to him, only one sentence covered a thousand words, Qin Xuan said in a trembling and hoarse voice, "You should have expected this a long time ago, why did you fall in?
"This is the case in this life, and there is nothing to desire"
Only eight characters made Qin Xuan speechless.
"Hurry up!" shouted the chief officer without waiting for them to speak any more, urging him to go on his way.
The two of them went over the mountains and mountains in rags, and when they couldn't hurry in the night, the four officials escorted them to spend time in a deserted temple.
The night was bleak, there was a fire in the temple, and the four of them drank a few sips of warm wine and ate the dry food they brought, leaving Qin Xuan and the others in the corner.
Although they are hungry and cold, they only nibble on a few dry steamed buns in the day, but they have no humble color, and now they only smile indifferently.
"Ripples, if there is still the day when I see the light of day, I will take you back to the countryside and fields, and then you will farm and weave cloth, ask for food and clothing, and stay away from the war and strife" Qin Xuan hugged her, dispelling the cold on her body and said softly.
"Okay," Duan Lianyi responded with a word and shrunk his body.
In the early morning, he was woken up by the guards before dawn, and continued on the road, walking for a few days, and was beaten by the wind and rain, Duan Lianyi couldn't stand it a little, but before he said a word, Qin Xuan saw that she was weak and knew that she was holding on, but he didn't say anything, just silently supported her along the way.
Day after day, over thousands of mountains and rivers, it was already early winter, the cold wind was biting, and the six of them were still shivering with cold when they put on all the clothes they carried.
On that day, when it was dark, and there was no place to stay in the vast land, he spent the night in the wild woods.
Only one of the four people guarding Qin Xuan was over half a hundred years old, and he was also a kind-hearted person, and they all called him Ling Da, and it was thanks to his many times that the two of them could live a little better.
Ling Da walked over and handed over some food and water, Qin Xuan took it and said gratefully, "In the past few days, thank you eldest brother for taking care of us, sending charcoal in the snow, it will be unforgettable in the next lifetime."
"Don't thank me, that's all I can do, when you get to Lingnan, you can do it yourself, and I can't help you" Ling Da sighed lightly.
"Big brother" Duan Lianyi took out a piece of jade pendant with a crystal body and handed it to him.
"Ma'am, is this?" Ling Da was puzzled.
"I want to use this jade pendant in exchange for this short dagger hidden on your waist," Duan Lianyi said bluntly without any worries.
"This!" he hurriedly pressed his waist, looked to the other side, and saw that the other three were talking without any abnormality, and lowered his voice, "This is absolutely not good, in case it is detected, I will be a member of the party."
"Ripples" Qin Xuan took her jade pendant, and then took out a topaz ring and said, "Big brother, don't worry, you are secretly hiding this thing, and no one has ever found it if you want to, what happened then, we will never implicate you, that day you said that there is a sick old mother at home, and a wife and a child, this ring is a first-class product, and the ancestral outsiders have never seen it, you can rest assured that you can take it for some silver taels, and now the matter, only the three of me know, if the eldest brother can trust us, he made this deal, if he can't believe it, you can go and report us now"
Ling Da looked at the topaz ring, he would not be clumsy and look at it as a good thing, of course, he was also in a hurry to use the money by this Qin Xuan, he swept his eyes around, his heart was crossed, he took off the short dagger hidden and threw it to him, and quickly snatched the ring, pretending to leave as if nothing happened.
Qin Xuan hid the dagger, and Duan Lianyi smiled lightly, "That finger is much more valuable than my jade pendant, it's really cheaper for him."
"During these days, you have scattered all the jewelry on your body that is more valuable than this jade pendant, and you have left this one, which means a lot to you, so you should put it away as soon as possible" Qin Xuan stuffed the jade pendant into her palm.
"This jade pendant is a cold thing, there is it, just like the cold is on my side, that day I tricked her to go to Jingzhou again, if I don't break her, she will always follow me, now I hope she can be safe"
"It's me who has burdened you, this time I went, there are constant variables, if you are unlucky, ......"
Qin Xuan didn't say any more, she took Duan Lianyi into her arms, she raised her hand and patted his hand, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
In the middle of the night, one of the servants woke up and came here to check, and saw that the two of them were bound by iron chains and couldn't move half a step, and just about to leave, they glanced at Duan Ripple.
She was born very beautiful, cold and elegant, although she suffered in exile, but there was a more pitiful charm in her emaciation, at this time she leaned on Qin Xuan's shoulder, very quiet.
This big man is a womanizer, boring on the march, and he can't hold back when he sees such a beautiful woman, and now this time is even more daring.
He stretched out his hand and probed towards Duan Lianyi's face, and just as he was about to touch it, Qin Xuan woke up suddenly, and when he saw this, he swung a fist and hit him hard.
Duan Lianyi also opened his eyes immediately, and the big man saw that the matter had been revealed, so he simply rushed towards her, and Qin Xuan hurriedly pulled her aside.
"It's just a prisoner, and it's really a chaste martyr, beauty, you have to follow me, I promise that you don't have to suffer the pain of exile in the wilderness, it's better for you to leave tonight, let's have a good time in front of your husband, okay" The big man approached her with a face* on his face.
"Dream!" Qin Xuan pulled Duan Lianyi behind him, his heart clenched his fists with anger, he didn't expect to fall to this point today, he was insulted by a rough man, if he couldn't protect his wife, he would be in vain.
The big man approached them step by step, and they retreated step by step.
"Where are you going?" said the other three officials, who heard the noise and gathered around.
