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

Although he knew it was an illusion, Shen Qingge still laughed unconsciously until tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

Then, she slowly closed her eyes and clenched her fists, her nails digging into her flesh. She tried hard to suppress the sadness and grief in her heart, not wanting her sister-in-law to notice her abnormality.

After all, at this moment, fifth sister-in-law Bai Yu needs comfort and support more than her.

After a while, she calmed down and told her fifth sister-in-law in detail what she needed to pay attention to in the future.

First, the news of the Fifth Sister-in-law's pregnancy must remain a secret from everyone except the Shen family, to prevent any unscrupulous individuals from harming her. Second, in the early stages of pregnancy, when the fetus is still unstable, the Fifth Sister-in-law must not lift heavy objects, avoid bumps, or overexert herself. Most importantly, she must not accept gifts from the officials, and she must not be left alone.

Her face was solemn as she discussed with her fifth sister-in-law one by one, saying that this child was not easy to come by and they needed to be extra cautious.

In the end, the two agreed that the fact that Fifth Sister-in-law Bai Yu was pregnant would be a secret between them for the time being, and Fifth Sister-in-law would handle the rest of the matters carefully.

Then, the two of them pushed each other again, and the fifth sister-in-law finally couldn't persuade Shen Qingge, so she had to give the job of keeping watch to her.

The quiet night is perfect for thinking.

Since when, Shen Qingge has fallen in love with the company of the late night.

After calming down, she began to sort out the timeline.

Seven days had passed since the Shen family's confiscation of property and exile. Although there had been no major storms during these seven days, undercurrents had surged, and dangers lay lurking on every side.

In her previous life, she learned the news half a month after the Shen family was exiled, which means that before she got the news, the Shen family had already died on the way to exile.

Now, half of the time has passed, and King Qin Xiao Mo will definitely make a big move soon.

Even if things changed a little because of her appearance, it would only change the timing. She believed that with Xiao Mo's viciousness, he would definitely eradicate the problem completely.

For the Shen family, a critical moment of life and death is about to come.

She had also thought about taking the entire Shen family away, away from danger, and not suffering the pain of exile.

However, she immediately dismissed the idea.

Because the Shen family cannot escape!

If I run away, my father's lifelong reputation will be ruined.

If they escaped, the Shen family would become refugees, hiding in the dark for the rest of their lives, without an identity and no chance of turning their lives around.

In this way, the betrayal and tragic deaths suffered by my father and brothers could never be redressed.

Therefore, the Shen family must not escape!

She must lead the Shen family to Lingnan alive, and then return to the capital openly to clear the grievances of her father and brother.

This is integrity. There will never be any deserters among the children of the Shen family!

……

The next day, it was still a hot day and the ground was dry. It seemed that the "autumn tiger" was unwilling to let go of anyone on the road of exile.

They have no water!

As the team continued to move forward, some people began to fall behind.

They were so thirsty that they no longer cared about the officials' roars and the physical pain they suffered.

These people fell exhausted on the side of the road, their eyes sunken, their faces pale, and their lips chapped and cracked.

They lay there weakly, and due to lack of water, their throats could no longer make any sound. Even if they could, it was only a weak and hoarse roar.

Even when they were whipped by the officials, they could not shed a single sweat or tear.

Even worse, seeing their companions beaten to a pulp, the bloody scars seemed to arouse their animal desires. More than one person revealed greedy eyes, as if they were about to pounce on their companions and suck all their blood dry.

The officers also shook the water bags around their waists, and then looked at Wang Gui helplessly.

They don’t have much water left!

Not to mention selling water to the prisoners at a high price, even their own drinking water is becoming a problem.

"Brother Gui, if this continues, we will have no water to drink. People can still survive without food for two or three days. But people will not survive without water for two or three days!" Li Tian said in a low voice.

The captain Wang Gui looked at the surrounding situation and nodded. Indeed, the best thing to do now was to stop and look for water nearby.

He immediately ran to the Fifth Prince Xiao Heng and after getting his consent, he ordered the exile team to rest on the spot.

But where can we find water?

Wang Gui took out a worn sheepskin map, on which were briefly marked the mountains, lakes, cities, villages and other features along the exile route.

According to a rough estimate based on their location, there are no villages, lakes or ponds within a radius of 100 miles.

According to this, there is a Lu'an County 150 miles to the southeast, but according to their estimated walking speed, it would take two to three days even if they traveled at the fastest speed, which was obviously not advisable.

There is only a dense forest on the mountain about twenty miles to the west. The mountain is high and the forest is dense, so there must be a water source that has not dried up.

However, there is a black mark where the dense forest is located, warning that there is miasma here.

What should we do? We can't let our brothers die in vain just to find water!

Wang Gui's eyes darted around, and after a moment, an idea struck him. He decided to select one person from each of the exiled families to serve as the vanguard, with the officials following closely behind. This way, even if there were risks ahead, the officials would be able to detect them in time and avoid them.

Having made up his mind, Wang Gui immediately gathered everyone and gave orders.

However, he naturally would not reveal the truth to these poor exiles. Instead, he called Ma Si to his side and, in a low voice, warned him, "There is miasma in the dense forest. You must be extra careful along the way. If you notice anything unusual, don't act recklessly. Do you understand me?"

In fact, the real meaning of these words is that if you encounter danger, let Ma Si quickly find an unlucky person to take the blame.

At the same time, Wang Gui secretly thought that this might be a perfect opportunity to separate Shen Qingge from the crowd, so he specifically instructed Ma Si to be extra vigilant and be able to respond flexibly.

Ma Si nodded in understanding, a sly smile on his face, and he rubbed his hands together, as if he had already foreseen what was about to happen.

Shen Qingge, who was standing not far away, saw the sinister and cunning expressions of the two of them clearly and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

She knew that these people's actions were definitely directed at her. Since they were so eager to die, she would naturally accept this "generous gift" with pleasure.

Then she did something surprising.

She walked into the grove beside the official road, and then with a flash, she suddenly appeared in front of Yun Yi who was hiding behind a big tree.

Yun Yi was caught off guard and took several steps back, staring at her with a look of panic and alertness on his face, his hand involuntarily reaching for the soft sword at his waist.

But Shen Qingge, on the other hand, had a calm expression. She smiled slightly and performed a standard curtsy to Yun Yi: "I am deeply grateful for your care in recent days, Your Excellency!"
