Chapter 25: Farewell, Brothers!
The soldier climbed back to his war horse and waited for them. Seeing that it was time to leave, Xu Xiang also climbed into the mule cart driver's seat. As soon as she took the mule's reins, Xiao Shao walked to her.
She looked at him and asked, "Young Master Xiao, what's the matter?"
He looked at her for a few seconds and said, "Miss Xu, you don't need to follow us. Go east, follow the river, and you will arrive at Dong He City. Although this city is not as prosperous as before, it is still a good place to live."
She looked at his calm eyes and said, "Thank you for the information, but I will follow your family for the time being. Unless Young Master Xiao don't welcome me."
Xiao Shao raised his eyebrows when he heard her words. After a short moment of silence, he said, "Let's go."
"Okay."
He looked at her for a few more seconds, then returned to the sleigh. Following the soldier, they drove to the northern border. They drove fast, and under the escort of the soldier, the journey was smooth and they reached the northern border before sunset.
The soldier sat at his war horse and looked at Xiao Shao. Pointing at the high gate, he said, "Supreme General, if you pass through this gate, you will leave the territory of the Shang Empire."
Everyone looked at the high wall in front of them and knew that this was the beginning of their life in exile. Xiao Shao nodded to the soldiers calmly.
