Xiao Yunheng's vitality was almost exhausted, and when he walked, his legs were dragging.

But in order to survive, he gritted his teeth and walked in Lu Xiyue's direction.

After walking a few steps, he looked back at Lu Xiyue.

Lu Xiyue nodded firmly at him.

With such tenacious, calm, and calm eyes, Xiao Yunheng gave birth to a ray of courage again, and continued to move forward.

Here, after seeing Xiao Yunhang disappear, Lu Xiyue cleaned up the traces of the fight between Xiao Yunhang and Liu Guancha just now, and then ran back to the camp, yelling in panic: "It's not good! It's not good! Dead man It's dead! It's dead!"

Mother Lu just came back from picking up firewood, when she heard Lu Xiyue's shout, all the firewood in her hand fell to the ground with a bang.

Mother Lu looked at Lu Xiyue with a pale face, and said in a trembling voice, "Yue'er! What are you talking about? Who died? Where is Yunheng? Where are Yunheng people?"

Mother Lu is one of the few people in this world who treats Xiao Yunheng well.

So even though the original owner died so badly, Xiao Yunheng didn't have the heart to kill Lu's mother, but asked someone to send her to the countryside to retire.

"Where's Yun Heng? I didn't see Yun Heng. The person who died was Liu Guancha! I saw him fall off the cliff and die!" Lu Xiyue said anxiously.

As soon as these words came out, the officials who were originally indifferent stood up from the ground immediately.

Chen Guancha took a glance, but he did not find Liu Guancha.

He stepped forward in two steps, suddenly grabbed Lu Xiyue by the collar, and asked coldly: "What did you just say! Liu Guanchai died? Did Xiao Yunheng kill him?"

Lu Xiyue shook her head hastily, and said: "I went over there to collect firewood, and suddenly heard a scream, rushed over and saw Liu Guancha fell off the cliff. Xiao Yunheng and I didn't collect firewood together—"

Chen Guancha's face was overcast, he looked at the sincere Lu Xiyue coldly, and said coldly, "Take us over there!"

How could such a good person fall off a cliff?

This is simply not possible!

Xiao Yunheng must be playing tricks here!

"Both of you, go find Xiao Yunheng! Don't let him escape!" Chen Guancha ordered.

The two officials responded immediately, and dispersed to find Xiao Yunheng.

Lu Xiyue was very worried about Xiao Yunheng, but she could only hold on, and calmly led Chen Guancha to the edge of the cliff.

"Here, that's right here! I heard the screams and rushed over to look, and he fell from here." Lu Xiyue pointed to the scene that she deliberately faked just now to show Chen Guancha.

A broken vine hangs on the cliff, extending leisurely to the bottom of the cliff.

Chen Guancha poked his head and saw that the cliff below was shrouded in clouds and mist, and it was like an abyss. Not to mention alive, he might not even find bones.

"He looks good, why did he climb down the cliff?" Another official looked at Lu Xiyue and asked suspiciously.

Lu Xiyue pointed to the clump of Ganoderma lucidum on the cliff wall, and said, "I saw that the direction of Tengman was placed there, so I took a closer look, and there is a clump of high-quality Ganoderma lucidum growing there, and the Ganoderma lucidum is very valuable. At least it can be sold for 1000 taels of silver!"

1000 taels of silver?

The official errands who escorted the exiles, their annual salary was only ten taels of silver.

1000 taels of silver is enough for them to work for 100 years!

Who can resist this temptation?

Chen Guancha was still a little puzzled in his heart, and he carefully checked the incision that Tengman had broken.

The incision doesn't look like it was cut with a sharp weapon, it should have been pulled off.

At this time, the other two officials also hurried over.

"Master Chen, Xiao Yunheng has returned to the camp. He came back with firewood. It seems that he didn't know about this matter."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Guancha's eyebrows relaxed slightly.

He walked to the edge of the cliff again, looking at the clump of Ganoderma lucidum, he felt greedy in the end.

He fixed his eyes on Lu Xiyue's face, pointed at her and said, "Go down and pick up the Ganoderma lucidum."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Xiyue's face turned pale with fright, she took two steps back, waved her hands repeatedly and said, "My lord! That cliff is so high! People will die! I won't do it!"

Chen Guancha said coldly: "There is hemp rope here to tie you up. Is it possible that we four men can't hold you a weak woman? Pick up the Ganoderma lucidum, and we will be divided. When you arrive in Lingnan in the future, the days will come. It's better."

When the other officials heard this, their eyes lit up immediately.

"Miss Lu, Mrs. Chen is right, you are so thin, we can hold you back."

"Miss Lu, if this Ganoderma lucidum can be picked, you will have a better time on the road ahead. If this Ganoderma cannot be picked, you three don't know if you will survive to reach Lingnan."

Chen Guancha looked at Lu Xiyue coldly, already threatening.

An officer quickly produced the hemp rope they used to bind the prisoner.

The hemp ropes were extremely thick and heavy, and several prisoners could not break free.

Lu Xiyue looked at the string of hemp rope, then bit her lip, and said in a low voice, "If the Ganoderma lucidum is harvested, can I share some money?"

Seeing her agreeing, Chen Guancha immediately smiled kindly and said, "That's natural. I'm not a greedy person. Come and tie the rope for Miss Lu."

Lu Xiyue wrapped the rope around her waist and tied a sailor's knot.

Several officials reined in the rope and slowly let Lu Xiyue down.

Lu Xiyue was also a little scared.

But for Ganoderma lucidum, she endured the fear in her heart and slowly fell down the cliff.

Finally, it landed at the place where Ganoderma lucidum was picked.

It was so high, and it was getting dark, she couldn't be seen from above at all.

Lu Xiyue took the opportunity to hide the largest Ganoderma lucidum in her bag, and then struggled to pick off the clump of Ganoderma lucidum and pulled the rope.

The people above were also very excited and pulled Lu Xiyue up.

After a lot of effort, Lu Xiyue finally landed safely.

She handed the Ganoderma lucidum in her arms to Chen Guancha.

Chen Guancha looked at such a large group of Ganoderma lucidum, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said in admiration: "This Ganoderma lucidum looks very small from a distance, but I didn't expect it to be so big after being picked. No wonder Old Liu would rather die. Say 1000 taels, even 2000 taels are worth it!"

Several other officials also got excited, saying: "It's done! It's really done! With this money, we won't have to be such hard-working escorts anymore in the future!"

In the excitement of the few people, Chen Guancha glanced at Lu Xiyue and said, "Miss Lu, you've worked hard, let's go back to the camp."

With sweaty palms, Lu Xiyue walked behind silently.

Back at the camp, Xiao Yunheng and Mother Lu had already boiled hot water.

Seeing Lu Xiyue's return, Xiao Yunheng raised his eyes and cast a deep glance at her.
