Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled

Xiao Heng waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Forget it, let's leave it at that. If you say another word, I will really get angry!"

After these words were spoken, Cangyu and others were stunned where they were.

Fortunately, Shen Qingge came forward and helped them up, and they looked at her as if they had seen a savior.

They looked as if as long as Shen Qingge gave the order, they would follow her without hesitation, even if it meant going through fire and water.

If they had not already been Xiao Heng's servants and could not betray their master, they would probably have immediately bowed down before Shen Qingge and regarded her as their new master.

On the other hand, Xiao Heng was too lazy to pay attention to them.

He held the blueprint in his hand, staring at Shen Qingge with a sullen expression, and asked:

"Now, we have successfully destroyed this secret village. But do I still need to send people to eliminate other secret villages?"

After saying that, he lowered his head slightly, waiting for Shen Qingge's answer.

Shen Qingge first gently wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead, then said:

"Your Highness, in my humble opinion, there's no need to bother sending anyone. You're probably well aware that with my skills and speed, I could accomplish twice the result with half the effort if I went alone to deal with these remnants.

Moreover, the situation is urgent now. If we delay too long, if the county governor learns that the dark village has been burned down tomorrow, it may be disadvantageous to us.

Therefore, I suggest that we pack up as soon as possible, set off tonight, and speed up our pace to the city and head south to avoid any more troubles at night."

At this moment, Shen Qingge was no longer afraid that Xiao Heng's secret guards would discover that he had the ability to teleport.

The main reason why she is so frank is that this will greatly facilitate her future action plans and she no longer needs to hide or cover up.

Of course, the secret guards didn't need to know any other details. The mere fact that he had the ability to teleport was enough to make them drop their jaws and stare in amazement.

After listening to what Shen Qingge said, Xiao Heng fell into silence.

After a while, he finally said:

"Well, what you said does make some sense. However, today I have had a rare opportunity to stretch my muscles, and I still feel unsatisfied.

How about this? I've decided to go with you. Yunyi, you take the injured Cangyu and the others back with you to reunite with the team and organize them to march through the night!

Afterwards, we will meet up in Jiming County, thirty miles outside Jiangdu County!"

Yun Yi, who was standing aside, almost jumped up when he heard this.

He shouted anxiously:

"Absolutely not, Master! You saw with your own eyes what happened in that dark village just now. It was truly too dangerous.

In my opinion, it would be better for you not to take the risk. Why not let me accompany Madam Shen? Woo woo woo..."

Before he could finish his words, Yun Yi suddenly felt a big hand covering his mouth.

He turned his head and saw that it was the injured Cangyu who stopped him from speaking. After a considerable struggle, Yun Yi finally managed to get rid of Cangyu's hand that was covering his mouth.

Then, Cangyu was heard saying, "The master has already said that he wants to go with Madam Shen. What are you doing here?"

After saying this, Cangyu even made a playful look at Yunyi.

Seeing this, the other secret guards standing behind him also echoed:

"As secret guards, we must obey our master's orders! We must not interfere in other people's affairs!"

For a moment, the voices of the crowd made Yun Yi blush and speechless.

They couldn't be blamed for this; in their eyes, Shen Qingge was now a "fairy" who could save people from danger. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the difference in their master's treatment of her, so they simply went along with it and facilitated this good deed. Isn't that wonderful?

Only Yun Yi, that stupid guy, couldn't see the clue and insisted on inserting something in the middle.

Yun Yi, still a young and inexperienced man, still didn't quite understand everyone's intentions. He glared at these brothers who were usually as close as brothers, then raised his thumbs and said with gritted teeth:

"Alright, alright, you're so ruthless! You're all so eloquent!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and bowed respectfully to Xiao Heng and Shen Qingge, then with a stern face, he helped Yun Yi up and walked back with the rest of the secret guards.

Shen Qingge looked at this scene, feeling a little confused. She blinked blankly, shrugged her shoulders, and said to the prince beside her:

"Your Majesty, these subordinates of yours, well... they really care about you!"

Hearing this, Xiao Heng couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head, and replied:

"Don't worry about these trivial matters. The current priority is to deal with these hidden villages as soon as possible!"

After saying that, he raised his foot and walked forward, and Shen Qingge followed closely behind him and left the dark manor.

……

That night, for unknown reasons, fires of varying sizes broke out one after another in various counties and prefectures of Jiangdu.

Coincidentally, every place where a fire broke out became empty before it burned down, and every place where a fire broke out, a group of beautiful young girls would escape.

For a while, Jiangdu County was in an uproar. Rumors spread that someone had set the fire maliciously, but the arsonist was never caught.

Some people also found out that these mansions were used specifically to train skinny horses for high-ranking officials, which made the public outraged.

In the following days, the prefect of Jiangdu County was extremely anxious. He naturally knew the purpose of these secret estates. Now that they were destroyed and their money was missing, he was afraid that the new emperor, Emperor Xiaowu, would punish him and chop off his head.

But he couldn't let the people know about the activities of the secret manor, so he could only post wanted notices throughout the county, vowing to catch the person who set fire to the manor. He didn't mention anything about the secret manor, and arrested many people, accusing them of spreading rumors.

However, he found nothing for several days and was eventually discovered by the servants in his house. He then hanged himself in his study.

This news finally reached the ears of Emperor Xiao Wu, Xiao Mo, half a month later. He had just left the court and had a rare opportunity to rest in the back garden.

However, the eunuch chief Zhang De came in a panic, dismissed his attendants, and told Xiao Mo in detail how all the secret villages in Jiangdu County were destroyed overnight.

Xiao Mo was immediately furious and asked, "Have you found out who did it?"

Zhang De shook his head and said awkwardly:

“Our people have been searching the area for a long time but haven’t found even a trace!

All the hidden villages were reduced to ashes, not a single one was left alive, and there was no way to investigate!"

Xiao Mo heard this and pondered for a while. A bad premonition came to his mind. He asked tentatively:

"Then where are my fifth brother and the group of people exiled to Lingnan now?"
