The night passed without a word. The next day.
The group of seven continued on their journey. Ge You 'er felt extremely anxious as she sat in the carriage. Along the way, she bought a tall horse from a shop owner and rode on it in a dignified manner.
Ge You 'er was a virtuous and heroic person, and riding on a fine horse, she gave off the feeling of a heroine.
Nan Jiantian was extraordinarily handsome, at least more attractive than Wei Kang. As for Ge You 'er, she had just begun to fall in love, so she could not help but take a few more glances at him. However, her little actions did not escape Wei Kang's eyes.
"Humph! She said she was riding a horse to get some fresh air, so it was to see this slave. A few days ago, she rejected my good intentions, most likely because she was tiptoeing to remember this cheap slave?”
When Wei Kang thought about how his fiancée had a man of low status hidden in her heart and was not afraid of being burned by fire, he turned around and saw Nan Jiantian riding a horse leisurely. As he walked, he watched the wind and the moon, looking relaxed and at ease. He was even angrier.
" It'll take us three days to reach the Imperial Capital at full speed. At your speed, when will we arrive?" the officer shouted.”
At this moment, the carriage had already stopped, and Ge You 'er had also turned her horse around to check on the situation.
Nan Jiantian was unconvinced after being humiliated several times. He muttered softly,""It's because you guys are slow that I'm slow.”
"How dare you talk back to your master?”
Ge You 'er cried out, and a leather whip that was around ten feet long lashed out. Nan Jiantian screamed in pain as he was whipped off his horse. Ge You' er showed no mercy at all.
"Dog slave, hurry up and kneel down and apologize to Master Fuma. From today onwards, you don't need to ride a horse anymore. From here on, you will run all the way to the Imperial Capital.”
No matter what, Wei Kang was still her fiancé. Ge You 'er's actions were also to protect her dignity. She could not tolerate sand in her eyes.
The distance from here to the imperial capital was over two hundred miles. With Nan Jiantian's current weak body, if he were to walk over, even if he didn't die of exhaustion, he would lose half his life.
It had to be said that Ge You 'er was vicious and merciless, treating the lives of her subordinates like grass. Wei Kang felt that it was difficult to reach her, and he knew that he had misunderstood her feelings for Nan Jiantian.
When he saw Nan Jiantian kneeling at his feet, he couldn't help but feel delighted and the anger in his heart was swept away.
Nan Jiantian had been humiliated repeatedly, and the seed of hatred in his heart grew deeper and deeper.
After the twists and turns, the group of seven continued on their journey. Nan Jiantian was running ahead. If he fell behind, Ge You 'er would whip him mercilessly.
Every time this happened, Nan Jiantian would endure the pain and charge forward with all his might. Only by walking in front could he escape the whip behind him.
A day later, Nan Jiantian's feet were full of blood blisters. His cloth boots were soaked in blood. Every step he took left a bright red footprint on the ground, enduring the excruciating pain.
He couldn't bear the torture and had thought of escaping. During the day, they would naturally not have the chance to do so. He planned to do it at night.
However, Wei Kang was already prepared. When he returned to the inn at night, he locked Nan Jiantian with the carriage, and Nan Jiantian's beautiful dream was shattered.
Ge Shuang and Nan Jiantian were both slaves, and they were in the same boat. She couldn't bear to see Nan Jiantian in such a miserable state. That night, after serving Ge You 'er to bed in the inn, Ge Shuang sneaked out and bought bandages and medicine to help treat Nan Jiantian's foot injury.
After a day of rushing, Nan Jiantian was so tired that his body seemed to have fallen apart. He leaned against the wheels of the carriage and fell asleep like he usually did.
When Ge Shuang arrived and saw that there was no one around, she hurriedly helped him take off his shoes. When she took off Nan Jiantian's socks, he finally woke up from his sleep.
As it turned out, his flesh and blood had already grown together with the socks. Nan Jiantian couldn't help but groan when he pulled on the new flesh and blood.
Ge Shuang, why is it you?"
Ge Shuang whispered,""Don't talk, Jian Tian. I'll treat your injuries now.”
Nan Jiantian couldn't help but feel warmth in his heart when he received the protection of the opposite sex. Tears welled up in his eyes as he nodded vigorously and didn't say anything else.
When Ge Shuang helped him take off his socks, she saw a pair of badly mutilated feet. Blood was flowing out continuously and her heart ached. She immediately cleaned Nan Jiantian's wounds and bandaged them with medicine. She also helped him change into new boots and socks and threw the old ones far away.
"Does it still hurt?" Ge Shuang asked concernedly.
Nan Jiantian's foot injury had been treated and he had changed into new shoes and socks. He felt like he was floating. He smiled and said,""It doesn't hurt anymore. Shuang Shuang, thank you. You're a good girl. I'll remember your help.”
"Now that you've become like this, what's there to repay? Jiantian, I can only help you so much. Take good care of yourself on the way. Master really shouldn't have treated you like this. But don't worry, if there's a chance, I'll plead with her.”Ge Shuang couldn't bear it.
"There's no need. I don't want to wag my tail and beg for mercy from my enemies. I swear that if I can turn over a new leaf one day, I will definitely take revenge.”Nan Jiantian's eyes turned red when he thought about how he had been humiliated.
Ge Shuang let out a long sigh as she recalled her bitter past. Her eyes lost focus as she muttered,""Why are you doing this? Since the moment you were born, your fate has been determined. Your futile resistance will only hurt you. If you don't want to sink deeper into hatred, you should turn back as soon as possible.”
"If you don't resist, you will be a slave for life. If he didn't resist, how would he know that he couldn't change anything? I will not accept my fate. One day, I will defeat all those who oppress me!”
At this moment, Nan Jiantian's sharp gaze looked at the resplendent starry sky above him. He was surprisingly determined.
"I even brought you some food. Eat it while it's hot!”
After saying that, she had already left, and her delicate back was swallowed up by the night.
Nan Jiantian was touched as he ate the food that Ge Shuang had brought. This was the first person who had made him feel warm ever since he entered the world.
He secretly swore to repay her kindness in the future.
The next day.
The group of seven passed through a desolate area. This was the only way to the Imperial Capital. After passing through this area, they would already be within the jurisdiction of the Imperial Capital.
However, it was precisely because there were no soldiers guarding the area that there were often pirates robbing transit merchants, resulting in the frequent murder and robbery of goods in this area.
At this moment, the seven of them were following their original route.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from the front. A group of about twenty mounted gangsters waved their sabers in the billowing smoke and dust, blocking their way and surrounding the seven of them.
The bandits looked at the group of seven as if they were looking at a skinned lamb. They were sitting high on their horses, waving their swords and spears in joy, and shouting in an incomprehensible tone.
Ge You 'er and the others were trapped in the middle, like birds startled by the twang of a bow. For a moment, the horses neighed and the people clamored.
"Boss, this group of people actually has a carriage. It looks like they are from rich families.”A shifty-eyed mounted bandit said happily.
"Good! It was really three years without opening, but three years after opening!”The bandit leader was also pleasantly surprised.
"Not good, it's the bandits! Quickly protect Master!”The three guards suppressed the frightened steeds, drew their swords, and stood in front of the carriage to protect it.
