Chapter 72: You Are Not In Exile You Are Clearly Traveling!
Chapter 72: Destroying the Carriage
"What do you want to do!"
Seeing Captain Sun and the others leave, Chen Yi and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but they saw other prisoners taking advantage of the situation and approaching, instantly becoming vigilant.
"What do we want to do?" one bald man sneered, "Guess what we want to do!"
"Your Chen family is so impressive, huh? Even after being exiled, you can still have a carriage? You can still live well, with the yamen protecting you, right?"
"Now I want to see who else can protect you!"
"Why should you be able to live so freely while we suffer, getting beaten, scolded, and starved? It's not fair at all..."
The man turned to the others, "What do you think, isn't this unfair?"
"Exactly, unfair!"
The other prisoners roared angrily, clearly envious of the Chen family, even though Chen Xue and the others didn't openly flaunt their privileges.
But just sitting in the carriage was enough to irk them.
They used to be high-ranking officials themselves, maybe not as high as Chen Yuan's position, but still much higher than the yamen runners.
In the past, even someone like Captain Sun would never have caught their attention. Now they had to consider their feelings and act accordingly.
If everyone had been treated the same, they wouldn't have minded. But the fact that the Chen family could afford a carriage, even if they bought it themselves, while they couldn't, and the yamen runners embezzled their money, claimed it wasn't enough, and then said they couldn't find one, made them feel bitter.
No matter what, they were extremely jealous of the Chen family and wished they could destroy their carriage.
Now that they finally had the opportunity, how could they not seize it?
"Attack!"
The bald man leading them shouted, and they all rushed towards the Chen family's carriage.
The first target was the carriage containing supplies, as it was closer to them. They pulled back the curtains and started pulling out the contents.
Bread, nuts, and other food items fell to the ground.
The prisoners, who had never had enough to eat, and had only been given hard bread, now saw these provisions and their eyes lit up, scrambling to grab them.
"Bastards!"
"Stop it!"
The Chen family's servants, enraged, rushed forward to stop them. These were supplies that the master and the young miss had worked hard to bring back from the city. There was no way they would allow them to be wasted.
"Get lost!"
"Wish for death and I'll grant it to you!"
The prisoners directly started beating the Chen family's servants, then began grabbing the supplies.
They even took everything out of the carriage, throwing clothes and other items onto the ground and trampling them like garbage.
The Chen family's servants were furious, but they ended up on the ground, unable to get up for a while.
Although Chen Yi was angry, he didn't leave. He had to protect the carriage behind him, as the master and young miss were still inside. He had to keep them safe.
"There's still that one!"
"Set fire to that one!"
One of the men suddenly shouted, and everyone looked at the carriage behind Chen Yi. They immediately became determined to burn it down.
"Chirp!"
As the man with the torch ran towards Chen Xue's carriage, there suddenly came a cry from the sky. Then, they saw a shadow flash by.
Next, they heard screams and saw the man with the torch fall to the ground, with claw marks on his arm, blood flowing out.
"Hiss!"
The prisoners couldn't help but gasp in horror because they hadn't seen what had attacked them.
The unknown is terrifying.
"Don't be afraid, it's just an eagle!"
Zhang Yiquan shouted loudly, obviously aware that Chen Xue had a pet eagle.
After all, they had been close by and he had been paying close attention to the Chen family's actions, so he knew very well.
Aside from the Chen family's peculiarities!
The prisoners breathed a sigh of relief when they heard it was an eagle.
But the bald man snorted, "Let's attack together. There are so many of us, and it's just an animal. It can't stop us all. As long as one person sets fire to the carriage, we'll succeed!"
The others' eyes lit up at his words.
That's right, no matter how smart an animal was, with so many of them, it couldn't stop them.
So they all rushed forward, grabbed a burning stick from the bonfire, and prepared to charge at the Chen family's carriage.
Zhang Yiquan also joined them, holding a torch, his eyes full of ferocity, gritting his teeth.
Chen Yuan, oh Chen Yuan!
You refused to sell me the carriage, so don't think you can use it either.
Swish!
Before they could take more than a few steps, they felt a blur in front of them, and the flames on their sticks were extinguished. Then they felt a sharp pain in their arms, and when they looked down, they were already injured.
Zhang Yiquan was in the same situation, with claw marks on his arm, blood flowing.
They were scared out of their wits.
"Hiss!"
The prisoners couldn't help but gasp when they saw this, covering their arms and quickly retreating.
Too painful!
Too amazing!
Chen Yi, who had been worried about how to deal with them, praised Xiaoqing's actions in his heart.
"Damn it!"
The bald man was very smart, directing from the crowd but not taking action himself, so he wasn't injured.
But seeing others fail, he became angry.
"Let's attack together. The more people, the better. There's only one animal. We can't be stopped by it, no matter how many people..."
"Chirp!"
Before the bald man could finish his sentence, he heard a cry and instinctively crouched down.
The next moment, he felt a chill on his scalp!
He was relieved that he had dodged quickly, or his head would have been split open.
But soon, he felt something was wrong. His head was wet, and when he reached out and touched it, he saw blood.
Clearly, Xiaoqing hadn't split his head open, but had turned his bald head into a cracked melon.
"Ah!"
The bald man screamed in pain, feeling the pain only now, then covered his head and ran away in panic, obviously afraid of Xiaoqing's attacks.
Seeing the prisoners run away, the Chen family breathed a sigh of relief, but then worriedly looked at the carriage.
With such a commotion, even if the masters was asleep, he should have woken up. But there was no sound coming from the carriage.
They were worried if something had happened to the masters.
