A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Shen Qingqian went to the military camp every morning, trained with the soldiers, and had lunch with them. Of course, she did not live in the military camp and went home every evening.

After returning to the mansion, Shen Qingqian had dinner with Yingzi, Zhiqing Zhizhu and others, and told them about the latest happenings in the military camp. The days were fulfilling and happy.

On this day, Yingzi and the educated youth Zhizhu prepared dinner early as usual, waiting for Shen Qingqian to come back and eat together.

However, it was already dark and Shen Qingqian still hadn't returned.

Yingzi ran out and stood at the gate to look out. It was quiet outside and she couldn't hear any horse hooves approaching. She simply walked out of the alley to see, but she didn't see Shen Qingqian coming back.

At this time, Zhiqing and Zhizhu led their horses out. Zhiqing said, "Yingzi, we can't just wait at home. I'm afraid something might happen to the girl. Let's go to the military camp to find her!"

"Yes, you are right, let's go!"

So the three of them each rode a horse and headed out of the city.

The city gate had not been locked yet, so the three of them rushed out directly.

After leaving the city, the military camp is still more than ten miles away. It won’t take long to get there if we ride at full speed.

However, when the three of them were passing through a forest, they faintly smelled a scent of blood.

The three of them had a bad feeling in their hearts. They couldn't help but slow down and become alert.

In fact, the forest at this time of year is full of dead branches and leaves, not dense. If it is daytime, you can see into the forest at a glance.

But now it was dark, and the forest looked a little eerie, as if there were unknown dangers lurking in it.

The three continued to move forward, and the sound of horse hooves seemed particularly abrupt in the silent night.

Soon, they saw two black objects lying on the road ahead.

The three men dismounted and walked over carefully. They saw two people, both dressed in black, lying on the ground motionless, and they must be dead.

Yingzi lit a tinder and took a closer look. Both men were killed by swords, one in the chest and the other in the back.

The three of them looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.

Yingzi said, "Could it be that the girl killed these two people? I wonder where the girl is now?"

Zhizhu said: "Yes, I wonder if the girl is in danger. What should we do now?"

The educated youth thought for a moment and said, "We must split up now. One person should go to the barracks to see if the girl is there. If not, call more people from the barracks to help find the girl."

The other two people will stay here and immediately start looking for him."

"Okay, Zhiqing, you make the arrangements. We will listen to you as to who among the three of us will go to the military camp and who will stay," said Zhizhu.

The educated youth thought for a moment and said, "Zhizhu, you go to the military camp. Yingzi and I will stay here to find the girl."

"Okay, then be careful."

Zhizhu didn't hesitate, gave some instructions, and rode away.

The educated youth and Yingzi began to examine the scene carefully. Soon, they found footprints and horse hoof prints on the ground. There were many of them and they were in a mess.

Following the traces, we found that they were not heading towards the forest, but towards the military camp.

"What's going on?" Yingzi asked with a frown.

The educated youth shook her head, she couldn't think of the reason at once.

After a moment, the educated youth said, "We can only follow these footprints."

The two men did not mount their horses, but just led the horses forward, for fear of missing the location of the footprints.

After walking along the traces for several hundred meters, they suddenly found a few drops of blood on the ground.

The two became even more worried, not knowing whether these footprints and bloodstains had anything to do with Shen Qingqian?

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from the front. Judging from the sound, there should be only one horse. Zhiqing and Yingzi looked at each other, and both of them wondered if the person coming was Shen Qingqian!

The two hurriedly walked a few steps to meet him. Soon, they saw clearly that it was a man riding a horse, galloping towards them.

Seeing that the man and horse opposite them were only a few steps away from them, suddenly, the man on horseback tilted his body and fell off the horse.

Zhiqing and Yingzi felt nervous and ran over quickly. When they lifted the person up, they found it was Zhizhu!

Zhizhu was injured, with an arrow stuck in his right shoulder.

"Zhizhu, why is it you? What happened?"

The educated youth asked nervously, his eyes red with worry.

Zhizhu's eyes were dazed, and he said weakly, "I met a group of men in black ahead. Hurry up, they will catch up soon."

After he finished speaking, Zhizhu fainted.

"Zhizhu!"

"Zhizhu! What on earth is going on?"

Yingzi's eyes were red as she spoke anxiously.

Before Zhiqing and Yingzi could make any move, the sound of horse hooves was heard again in the distance. This time there sounded a lot of them, at least a dozen horses. They should be the men in black that Zhizhu mentioned chasing them.

If Zhizhu hadn't been injured, the three of them would not be afraid of these people if they fought. But now Zhizhu was so seriously injured, with only the two of them, they might not be able to defeat them!

However, these people injured Zhizhu so badly, and I don't know if they have anything to do with the girl's disappearance? Even if we can't beat them, we have to fight!

Zhiqing and Yingzi carefully hid Zhizhu in the woods beside the road. They also quickly climbed up two large trees and hid themselves.

At this moment, Zhiqing and Yingzi held bows and crossbows tightly in their hands, their eyes sharp and determined, like hunters ready to wait for their prey to appear.

As long as those people get close, they will shoot crossbows without hesitation and deal a fatal blow to the opponent.

As time went by, the atmosphere became more tense and heavy. Finally, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats rang through my ears. In the blink of an eye, a group of figures in black outfits appeared in my sight. A rough count revealed that there were as many as sixteen or seventeen people!

They all had grim expressions, held sharp blades in their hands, and exuded a chilling murderous aura.

The educated youth and Yingzi pressed the switch of the crossbow without hesitation. In an instant, several crossbow arrows flew out of the air, and with a few "swish" sounds, five or six men in black fell down.

There were also a few people who reacted quickly and dodged it cleverly.

The men in black had not expected to be attacked suddenly and immediately became alert. They tightened the reins in their hands, and the horses under their crotch were startled and turned around anxiously in place.

The eyes of the men in black were as cold and vicious as those of venomous snakes. They scanned the surroundings with murderous intent, searching for where the enemy who suddenly attacked them was hiding.

After firing another wave of crossbow arrows, Zhiqing and Yingzi jumped from the tree and pounced towards the man in black with sharp blades in hand, and instantly engaged in a fierce close combat with the opponent.
