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

Shen Qingge frowned as he looked at the drunken Water Qilin. He leaned over to its ear and whispered softly:

“As a divine beast, you should maintain proper demeanor and manners.

Look at yourself now. What will happen if you get drunk?

You'd better stop drinking and go back home to rest as soon as possible."

However, how could the Water Qilin, who was already intoxicated with wine at this moment, listen to Shen Qingge's advice?

It waved its hand and whispered back with its remaining sanity:

"Hey, Master, please don't worry about me. I just accomplished this great thing for you.

I'm so happy today, I'm going to have a drink with you brothers, and I won't leave until I'm drunk!"

After saying that, it continued to clink glasses and drink heartily with the soldiers.

Before we knew it, three rounds of drinks had passed and the banquet was finally about to end.

Looking at the water qilin at this time, he was already drunk and dizzy, unable to tell east from west.

Even the corners of his mouth were about to spray out water uncontrollably.

In order to avoid scaring Captain Wu and the others, Shen Qingge had no choice but to order Cangyu and Cangfeng beside him to forcibly carry him away.

On the other hand, Captain Wu insisted on personally escorting Shen Qingge as a sign of respect.

The intelligent Shen Qingge naturally understood that Captain Wu's move had a deeper meaning. He must have something in his heart that he wanted to tell her alone, so he gladly accepted the other party's request.

So, on the inky black path, the two of them walked slowly side by side.

Not far behind them, a team of guards followed closely, always maintaining a distance that was neither too close to disturb the conversation of the two, but also able to quickly take action to protect Shen Qingge's safety at the critical moment. They were always by her side.

After walking a few steps away from the camp, everything happened just as Shen Qingge had expected. Captain Wu suddenly stopped, clasped his hands together again, and bowed deeply and respectfully to Shen Qingge.

Then he said in a low and sincere voice:

"General Shen, I know you may have some doubts about our coming here to seek refuge.

But please believe me, I can guarantee it with my life. All of us have come here to surrender willingly and have absolutely no second thoughts!

Now, Emperor Xiaowu is incompetent, unjust and cruel, causing the people of the world to live in misery and complain bitterly.

In comparison, we would rather follow Lord Shen's descendants wholeheartedly!

If you still can't fully trust us, then whether you have your men secretly monitor us or come up with various methods to test us, as long as it can eliminate your concerns, anything is fine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Wu straightened up and reached out to pull out an extremely sharp knife from his waist.

Then, as the guards around him watched nervously, almost holding their breath, he raised his knife, cleanly cut off a tuft of black hair, and held it tightly in his palm.

At this moment, the tuft of hair symbolized his complete break with the past and his resolute decision to give up everything. It was also the best proof of his loyalty to Shen Qingge.

After seeing this situation, Shen Qingge gently raised his hand and made a gesture to let the nervous guards behind him step back.

After they retreated as ordered, Shen Qingge slowly turned his gaze to the person in front of him, with a hint of emotion in his eyes.

She couldn't help but recall that many years ago, her elder brother had solemnly mentioned Wu Biao to her.

My eldest brother said that Wu Biao is a loyal and brave man. He is not only sharp-minded, but also well-versed in military tactics. He is truly a rare talent!

It was precisely because of her elder brother's evaluation back then that even though several years had passed, she was still able to recognize Captain Wu when she saw him again.

Moreover, because his elder brother had once highly praised Captain Wu's character, Shen Qingge naturally had more trust in the man in front of him.

However, out of caution, she ultimately decided to speak candidly about her doubts:

"Captain Wu, please forgive my frankness, but I am being so cautious because I am just following the rules.

Now that the Kingdom of Nanyue has just been established, we are walking on thin ice everywhere and have to be on guard.

In fact, I sincerely want to believe that you and most of my brothers have come here to surrender sincerely.

However, after all, this incident involves more than 30,000 soldiers, and it is inevitable that some people with ill intentions and ulterior motives will infiltrate among them.

I hope you don’t feel guilty about this.”

Shen Qingge spoke very frankly, and after listening to Captain Wu, there was no sign of dissatisfaction or desire to refute on his face.

Then, she changed the subject, and her originally serious tone instantly became much softer:

"Of course, you are all my father's former subordinates, and I think everyone must have some feelings for the Shen family.

The same goes for me. How could I ignore you when I am the army that my father built with his own hands?

What's more, you are such an elite force, who wouldn't want to recruit you and use you for my service?

Well, let time take care of everything. As the saying goes, "A journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's true character."

What do you think, Captain Wu?

"General Shen's words make sense. I understand!"

At this point, this meaningful conversation finally came to an end.

However, the story does not end there.

That very night, Shen Qingge dispatched a group of well-trained secret guards to quietly lurk in the mountains surrounding the camp.

Not only that, she also specially asked Sumu, Chuanbo and Chunlan to go together, aiming to give them a rare opportunity to gain experience.

Among them, Su Mu also possesses the power of extreme vision and extreme hearing. This surveillance mission is undoubtedly an excellent training opportunity for him, which can help him better control his own supernatural powers.

In the next few days, Shen Qingge did not set foot in the temporary camp of the Zhenbei Army again, but chose to leave the matter to the secret guards with peace of mind.

However, even though she was not on the scene, she would still listen to the various intelligence passed back by the secret guards every day so that she could control the situation in time.

At the same time, the surrender of the Zhenbei Army was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, triggering a huge uproar in the court.

The ministers in the court had mixed feelings about this.

What made them happy was that if these Zhenbei Army soldiers surrendered sincerely, then there was no doubt that this would add an extremely powerful elite force to the Beiling Kingdom.

But on the other hand, their concerns were exactly the same as Shen Qingge's - if these people were pretending to surrender, it would not be easy to deal with them.

After intense discussions, the ministers finally reached a consensus:

It was decided to send Marshal Liu Fu to lead the troops in person to further strengthen the security measures and surround the Prince of Nanyue's palace to ensure the king's safety.
