Zhou Yu listened attentively while doing two things at the same time. His hands moved faster. Li Zheng’s wound hurt more. His eyes were red and he wanted to cry!

Third Yang looked at Yan Bing and raised his eyebrows and said, “Continue.”

Yan Bing gritted his teeth and said, “Yan is my teacher’s surname, and the household registration is real. It’s just that my teacher’s family died, so I replaced my teacher’s son.”

Third Yang cleared his throat, leaned close to Yan Bing’s ear, and asked, “Are you the heir of King Jing?”

Yan Bing was furious, but he knew he couldn’t shout, so he lowered his voice. “Bah, I swear in the name of my ancestors that I am not a member of the royal family with the surname Wang. My surname is…”

Third Yang asked, “What’s your last name?”

Yan Bing said coldly, “Anyway, my last name is not Wang, and I am not a member of the royal family.”

Third Yang’s eyes were more amused, “Where are your family members?”

Yan Bing exuded hatred, “They are all dead.”

There were a total of 534 clansmen in Bozhou, and these were just the clansmen. Including servants and maids, more than a thousand people died.

Zhou Yu treated Li Zheng’s wound and signaled Li Zheng to go outside and guard.

Third Yang got the hint from his elder brother and continued to ask, “Is your family a subordinate of King Jing? King Jing’s legitimate son was arrested. Has King Jing’s forces been wiped out?”

Yan Bing sneered but did not reply, as if he had said everything he could say and it was pointless to ask.

Zhou Yu saw it and thought that if he didn’t say anything, it meant there was a bigger secret. Because it involved too many things and they didn’t have enough trust and recognition, this person would not continue to talk.

Third Yang asked, “If you don’t tell me your last name, how should I address you in the future?”

Yan Bing spoke up this time, “I will be Yan Bing from now on. Don’t worry, I won’t bring any danger to you.”

Zhou Yu looked at Yan Bing deeply, and said to Yang San: “I’m going to check on Qian Dongjia’s carriage, you be honest.”

Third Yang likes to be controlled, which shows that the eldest brother did not treat him as an outsider. “Brother, I searched the rioters killed by our two families. The money will be divided between the two families.”

Zhou Yu: “Okay.”

Third Yang grinned, “Brother, go and get busy.”

Zhou Yu first went back to his own carriage and told the story, then repeated Third Yang’s words.

Yang Xi had already sorted out the copper coins. “There are seventeen taels of silver, three hundred copper coins, four pairs of silver earrings, and a pair of silver bracelets.”

Zhou Yu, “That’s quite a lot.”

“Well, although they didn’t rob the rich, they probably robbed quite a few villagers.”

Zhou Yu was worried about his younger brother, “This is my first time killing someone, give him some when mom takes her medicine.”

Yang Xi, “Mother’s medicine is mainly used to treat fever.”

Zhou Yu, “You won’t die from drinking.”

Brother Zhou, “.”

Very good, this was indeed something that only a brother could say!

After being tricked by his brother, Brother Zhou instantly became more energetic and even offered to send money to the Wu family.

Yang Xi secretly put three pancakes in her bag. She praised herself again. She made a bag of more than fifty pancakes!

The Wu family was not seriously injured. The whole family played with sticks, and it was difficult for the rioters to get close.

When Wu Shan saw the silver and money, he regretted not rushing out with Third Yang. It was a rare opportunity to make a fortune. Once he left Bozhou, he would need silver and money everywhere!

The caravan counted the death toll and found that 31 guards died, while the driver had the highest death toll, 40.

Yang Xi fell silent after hearing this. The Zhou and Wu families were behind the guards, and the main force fighting was the guards and coachmen. The two families were the only ones injured and were protected by the guards.

So many guards died, most of them were killed by arrows, and the coachmen were killed in the siege.

Those who survived the caravan were all injured. After their wounds were treated, some of the lightly injured people dug up the bodies and cleaned them up so that they did not block the road.

The dead in the caravan would be cremated, and the rest of the people would collect firewood.

The caravan did not leave. The smell of blood was so strong that the wild beasts did not dare to come over. Their wild instinct told them that they were not to be trifled with.

It was relatively safe now. They were preparing to cremate their companions to prevent their bodies from being destroyed by wild beasts. As for the bodies of the rioters, it was good that they were not whipped, so no one was helping to bury them.

The three owners of the caravan looked very unhappy. Guards were difficult to train, and so many of them died at once. They were heartbroken.

When Zhou Yu came back, “Where’s my little brother?”

Yang Xi said, “He and Brother Wu’s four sons went to help move the body.”

Zhou Yu was surprised, “Did he do it by himself?”

Yang Xi nodded, “Yes, he is your biological brother. In fact, he looks a lot like you.”

After overcoming the hurdle in my heart, he was no longer afraid. In their previous life, he was forced to grow up and tried his best to protect them.

Zhou Yu’s brows softened, “He does make me proud.”

Yang Xi asked, “When are we leaving?”

Zhou Yu said: “It’s safe here at the moment. We will leave after the caravan’s dead are cremated.”

“A lot of refugees just escaped. They are already scared out of their wits. I think we can have some peace for a while if we listen to their words.”

Zhou Yu took the water from his younger sister, drank a sip, and then said, “It’s a good opportunity to take advantage of this peaceful day to speed up the journey and get out of Bozhou as soon as possible.”

Yang Xi was worried, “Almost all members of the caravan were injured, I’m afraid someone’s wound will get infected.”

Without life-saving medicine, there was only one way to go, death. However, the caravan had medicine for wounds, but the fleeing rioters could not find any medicine. They could only endure the injuries, and their life and death depended entirely on luck.

Zhou Yu, “Qian Dongjia has thought about the medicinal herbs again, and he was angry just now.”

Yang Xi said leisurely: “It will be even harder to find medicinal materials in the future.”

Once things were settled, she must stock up on some medicinal herbs that could be stored for a long time. So there were really a lot of things she wanted to stock up on.

Little Brother Zhou came back covered in blood. Fortunately, Yang Xi bought a lot of clothes and made a lot of clothes when she was free. What Little Brother Zhou was wearing now was no longer wearable as it smelled of blood and there was no way to wash it.

With more people, efficiency was fast. The firewood rack was set up. During this time, Yang Xi wanted to go to the toilet and saw the corpses piled up, which was quite visually impactful.

Yang Xi considered herself to be very brave, but she was also frightened. She returned to the carriage and never got out again.

Soon it was dark, the firewood on the fire rack was burning, and the caravan set off.

Yang Xi was stunned, “Aren’t they going collect the ashes from here?”

Zhou Yu shook his head. “More than seventy people have been cremated together, so it is hard to say who the ashes belong to. Qian’s family sent someone to cut off a finger of the deceased and take it back to make a cenotaph.”

Yang Xi was silent, “That’s fine.”

The caravan was filled with a sad atmosphere, with only the sound of movement.

Not only did the caravan suffer casualties, but fifteen horses and donkeys broke free from their ropes, ran away, and could not be caught.

The caravan continued on their journey and at dawn they encountered a group of more than 200 soldiers and officers. They also saw the frightened horses and donkeys that had run away with them.

Yang Xi and his wife knew that the officers and soldiers discovered the runaway horses and donkeys and guessed that a robbery had taken place, so they traveled overnight to make a fortune!
