Chapter 269 - 121: Qing Pu’s Doubts
Two hours later, there were two horse carriages, one in front, two in the middle, and one at the rear, drawing horses that are all fine steeds used by the Dragon War Empire Army—Soaring.
Three carriages traveled on the national road of Shang Kingdom, carrying the unsettled people from Jingxin Courtyard.
Yue Jinghua’s eyes narrowed into a smile, holding in her hand a Dan Xuan Card universally accepted in the continent, with a value of five hundred thousand Fifth-Order Xuan Pills. It was unexpected that the Military Department of the Dragon War Empire was quite lucrative. Upon hearing Yue Jinghua’s request, they paid the hush money she demanded without a second word, and also safely delivered the anxious Lie Rou and others who had been restless all night.
"Huahua, are we really going to leave Polo City?" Lie Rou still couldn’t wrap her head around it at this moment; she had drunk a large pot of liquor last night to bolster her courage, and later, she had been startled to a considerable extent.
After Sha Fei was kidnapped, Zhan BeiAo ordered that everyone be temporarily detained in the Lie Family Mansion until soon after daybreak, Hongling brought Hong Yao, assigning a few people to pack up their belongings, and then they were sent to meet Yue Jinghua and others in Yanpo Forest.
"Let’s go, the vitality of Shang Kingdom is greatly damaged now, and it will be difficult to achieve anything in the next decades, staying here is only waiting idly for death," after this battle, the Fa brothers died, and Lie Changshun of Lie Family Mansion also died from serious injuries after last night. The only survivor, Lie Chang’an, is a wretched man, only good at being a yes-man.
Although Yue Jinghua temporarily deterred Sha Fei, the Sha Family will inevitably strike back fiercely. In the future, Shang Kingdom will surely be under the Sha Family’s domination; it would be predominantly perilous for her and her daughters to stay.
Rather than living a life of constant fear and anxiety, it would be better to leave with the whole family sooner. The world is vast; anywhere could be a sanctuary for them.
"That makes sense, but miss, why did we prepare four carriages?" Hongling and Hong Yao were both efficient in their actions.
Hong Yao had even predicted Yue Jinghua’s contingency plan early on, and had taken a few days earlier to collect all the Elixir Pills and even sold off the small pharmacy.
