Yun Yao was infected by their emotions, showed a gentle smile and said: "You guys did a good job."

The bandit smiled and said: "It's fate that my benefactor is passing by. Why don't you come and sit in our village, and I guarantee that you will be served with good wine and meat."

Yun Yao shook his head slightly and said, "No, we are being exiled."

"What?" The bandit belatedly looked at the row of prisoners, and then at the radiant Yun Yao sitting on the horse, and almost didn't react.

Those who didn't know better thought it was the benefactor who was exiling officials.

The bandit frowned and said firmly: "Whoever dares to exile our benefactor, we will go and beat him up right now."

Yun Yao smiled helplessly: "Emperor, it doesn't matter, we just want to live peacefully."

When the bandit heard that he was the emperor, his brain shut down for a moment, and then his inner thoughts were very strange.

The emperor actually knew the benefactor, the benefactor was really powerful.

Yun Yao saw the admiration in their eyes and was a little confused about it, so he said goodbye and left shortly after.

Seeing that it was time to leave, the dozen or so officials who were groaning and groaning at the side hurriedly chased the prisoners forward. They really didn't dare to stay in this miserable place for a second.

Entering the border of Ganzhou, the snow was deep, and every household hung up red lanterns and pasted festive Spring Festival couplets, making it lively and full of New Year atmosphere.

Yun Yao truly feels that this place is getting better and better, and he feels at ease.

On the first day of the New Year, they hadn't arrived in Song County yet. Yun Yao sighed and took advantage of everyone's rest to go to the nearest town to buy some food, including dumplings, soup dumplings, chestnut roasted chicken, and pickled pork with pickled vegetables.

Braised lion head, potato beef brisket, etc.

She said in the carriage: "Happy New Year, we can reach Song County in another seven or eight days."

Little Aqing, who had been fattened up after traveling so many days, also said Happy New Year, and then the food on the table took away his greed and started to use his chopsticks.

Seeing his appearance, Yu An also smiled and said, "Happy New Year."

The family had New Year's Eve dinner in this spacious carriage. Although the environment was far worse than that in the house, Yu An had a comfortable smile on his face.

Yunyao also bought good horse feed for the horse, making the horse happy in the New Year.

The horse didn't know whether he appreciated it or not. He glared at Yun Yao with his arrogant round eyes and curled his lips upward, revealing his big teeth that were missing a small piece of his teeth.

That's right, this horse is Sister Ma, the only horse that can pull the Sky-shattering Hammer. Yun Yao bought it from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

She barked, lowered her head and began to eat the feed, making a rhythmic chewing sound.

"Ah! My lion's head!" Yun Yao was staring at Sister Ma with interest when she suddenly heard little Aqing's cry. She opened the curtain to take a look, and saw Heidan jumping up at some point.

The table took away the last lion's head.

Little Aqing snorted coldly and patted Heidan on the head, but didn't care much about it.

Seven or eight days later, as soon as they entered the territory of Song County, the official contacted the county government and ran away.

Whoever can do this job can do it. They can't do it anymore. What's the point of watching the prisoners eat and drink well every day!

The Natou County Office only processed the household registration and did not come out to see these prisoners at all. In theory, these people were exiled here and could never leave Song County again.

Yun Yao looked at the familiar scenery happily and drove the carriage all the way to Ganyu Town. When passing by Feimo Academy, he heard a familiar sound of reading aloud and stopped involuntarily.

Normally Feimo Academy should be on holiday on this day, but now it seems that classes are still taking place.

Yu An obviously heard it too. He stuck his head out of the carriage and looked in the direction of the sound.

Yun Yao asked: "Would you like to go in and take a look?"

Yu An nodded slightly, jumped down from the carriage, and took little Aqing down, leaving Heidan sleeping soundly in the carriage.

Several people went to the gate of the academy to find someone to send a message. The doorkeeper immediately recognized Yu An and said, "Masters are all in class. I'll take you to Dean Gu's office to wait."

Little Aqing looked confused and was dragged to Gu Jinshu's office by Yun Yao and Yu An, where he looked at the bookshelf of books in boredom.

Not long after, Xu Jingzhou opened the door with excitement, revealing a familiar yet calm face.

He was dressed in a master's white robe and holding a book in his hand, as if he had just come out of class.

Behind him, Gu Jinshu stared at the people with a bit of surprise. He had already received the news that Yu An was exiled, and he was surprised that Yu An seemed to be living a good life.

Yu An looked at Xu Jingzhou and said with a normal expression: "You are now a master."

"Yes." Xu Jingzhou showed a modest smile and said, "I originally wanted to take the exam again, and then go to Beijing as an official after becoming famous, but after staying in Kyoto for a while, I found that I was most comfortable living here, so I stayed to teach."

Yu An expressed his understanding and asked: "Have you met Xu Ziyi?"

Xu Jingzhou choked, with a bit of defeat on his face, and said palely: "My brother passed away when he was with the army to seize Hongying. I didn't get to see him for the last time."

Yu An felt a pain in her heart, remembering the way Xu Ziyi saved him, she suddenly looked sad and looked to the side with a gloomy face.

The air suddenly became oppressive. After a while, Xu Jingzhou spoke first: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about you, Brother Yu. Why were you exiled?"

Yu An's lips curled up slightly, and he calmly told about his life experience and how the Dog Emperor wanted to recognize him.

"Nonsense!" Gu Jinshu jumped in anger at his age: "What if Your Majesty wants to behead you on the spot?"

Yun Yao chuckled and said, "How is that possible? I'm still there, isn't it?"

As she spoke, she raised her thin arms in a gesture like a bodybuilding coach, almost blinding Gu Jinshu's eyes.

This girl Yun, why has she become stupid even after staying in Kyoto for a few years?

Gu Jinshu didn't know, but Xu Jingzhou knew very well that Yun Yao was a master of martial arts, so it was normal for him to have such confidence.

Gu Jinshu sighed, looked at Yu An, and asked, "Would you like to be a master in the academy?"

Yu An was stunned, glanced at Yun Yao and said, "Yes, but I have to go home first."

Gu Jinshu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Of course you can. You can come anytime. You are always welcome here."

Yu An nodded, exuding an aura of calmness and composure. He was no longer the dark-hearted young man he was before.

Gu Jinshu saw his changes and felt that his trip to Kyoto was not in vain, so he saw the three of them off personally.

Yun Yao rode on Sister Ma and led the family on the road to Ganyu Village. The road was covered with thick snow, and occasionally a few light and shallow ruts could be seen, which were blurred by the wind.
