After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

At the same time, Xu Qingqing returned and began to deal with some details.

She tore off some of the Lu family's clothes and scattered them around, as if they were torn off in a fierce battle. These clothes not only increased the chaos at the scene, but also added a bit of authenticity to their disguise.

After setting up the basic scene, everyone began to search around for items that could increase the sense of reality.

They found some branches and stones and placed them around the body to simulate the chaotic scene of the battle. At the same time, they also used the surrounding soil and leaves to dye the body and the surrounding ground into a mottled color, making the whole scene more realistic.

After completing all this, Xu Qingqing ordered the fifty elite soldiers to take the Lu family and quickly evacuate the scene.

But Xu Qingqing stayed. She knew that relying on these disguises alone was not enough to completely eliminate the hidden dangers. So she took out the beast-attracting powder she had obtained in Anping Village.

This thing is very powerful. Even the slightest smell it emits can attract nearby wild beasts. That's why Xu Qingqing asked the rest of the people to evacuate first, otherwise uncontrollable bloodshed might easily occur.

After she thought they were far away, Xu Qingqing carefully opened the bottle cap and gently sprinkled the powder on the bodies of the officers and soldiers. She made sure that every part was evenly covered without leaving any traces.

After spreading the rumors, Xu Qingqing left quickly. To ensure everything was safe, she went back to the space and changed into the same clothes.

Soon after Xu Qingqing left, as the beast attracting powder spread, a strange smell filled the air. Soon, the howling of wild beasts could be heard from all directions. A group of hungry wolves were attracted and gathered around after smelling the scent of the corpse.

Under the moonlight, the wolves began to frantically tear apart the bodies of the officers and soldiers. Their sharp claws and fangs flashed coldly in the night sky.

The howling of wild beasts echoed in the silent night sky, making people shudder.

As Xu Qingqing was running, a system notification suddenly rang in her mind, and her steps paused.

【Ding--】

[Main Mission 1: Build a 5000-person force within three months, Completion: 5000+/5000 (Completed)]

[Task Reward: A Medical Encyclopedia (already claimed)]

finished?

How is it accomplished?

[111, how did you complete this task? ] Xu Qingqing called out to 111 who was immersed in the sea of ​​books.

111 came back to his senses from the book [I'll help you check...]

[Well, Qingqing, this is because the Lu family members we saved are Lu Zhenting’s family members. Lu Zhenting has decided to join the Xiaoyao Sect, so they also belong to the Xiaoyao Sect.]

That's it...

[Okay, then you can continue reading.]

……

Since the main mission has been completed, there is no need to rush back to Xiaoyao Sect. In addition, the Lu family members have not recovered yet, and rushing on the journey will not help their recovery.

So, the group decided to slow down and move forward steadily. They were no longer in a hurry to get going, but chose a smoother route, trying to avoid rugged mountain roads and steep cliffs.

At the same time, they also became more cautious, always paying attention to the concealment of their whereabouts. Every time they stopped at a place, Xu Qingqing would take the time to carefully check the surrounding environment to ensure that there were no traces that could be tracked.

She would carefully erase the footprints of the people who had walked by and the traces of their lives, and even cover up the smell left in the air with special powder.

Although this journey was slow, it gave the Lu family more time to rest, and their bodies began to gradually recover. Their faces became rosy, and their steps became steady and powerful. Although they still felt a little tired and their wounds had not fully recovered, overall, their physical condition had improved significantly.

Lu Zhenting walked in front of the team, his brows furrowed and his heart filled with complicated emotions.

In the past few days, the Lu family told him a lot of things that happened after he disappeared.

The darkness of the court lies not only in the greed and selfishness of the officials, but also in the fact that they are willing to fabricate charges and distort facts in order to protect their own interests.

Lu Zhenting, the once powerful general, has now become a stumbling block in the eyes of some people and must be eliminated as soon as possible.

Naturally, his disappearance could be used to make a big fuss.

They slandered Lu Zhenting for collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country, and even forged evidence to frame him. In order to achieve their own goals, these officials did not hesitate to fabricate the worst charges and use lies and conspiracies to push Lu Zhenting into the abyss.

They were well aware of Lu Zhenting's status and influence in the court, so they wanted to weaken a powerful force in the court by framing him.

As the supreme ruler, the emperor should have been clear-sighted and impartial. However, because he was afraid of the military power in Lu Zhenting's hands, he accepted the slander of these officials.

He chose to suppress the Lu family instead of investigating the truth and clearing Lu Zhenting's name.

He even said something high-sounding like he would give the Lu family some leniency...

Hearing this, Xu Qingqing couldn't help but feel indignant. What these officials and the emperor did was entirely out of their own selfish interests and desire for power, suppressing and persecuting the Lu family for no reason.

The emperor even said something high-sounding like he would let the Lu family off. These hypocritical words were just the emperor's way of covering up his own crimes and appeasing the people.

He didn't care about the life or death of the Lu family at all, he only cared about his own power and status.

Xu Qingqing's heart seemed to be swept by a violent storm, with waves rising and falling and unable to calm down.

Because she recalled what her family had gone through, the painful experience of being forced to flee their homeland and wander around, as if it were replaying before her eyes.

She once thought that by escaping from the corrupt court, she would be able to find a peaceful world, but she didn't expect that even in the northern border far away from the court, she still couldn't get rid of the shadows of those powerful people, and she still needed to hide in order to live well.

Now seeing that Lu Zhenting's family had suffered a similar fate, to be honest, her heart was deeply touched.

She felt angry, felt unfair, and felt an indescribable sadness. She didn't understand why those officials who claimed to be working for the country and the people would persecute loyal people and frame innocent people.

At this moment, a bold idea emerged in Xu Qingqing's mind - rebellion.

However, as soon as this thought came to her mind, her heart was filled with contradictions and struggles.

On the one hand, she longed to seek justice for the Lu family, for her own family, and for all those who were persecuted. Her strong sense of justice drove her to stand up and bravely resist those corrupt officials.
