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

As the dawn broke, the sun shone through the clouds onto the earth, and the exile team began their long and arduous journey without stopping.

Over the past few days, the entire team had moved quickly and in an orderly manner, with everyone focusing on getting on with their journey, and no one slacking off or complaining.

Shen Qingge's passionate words still linger in everyone's mind, perhaps this is also the reason for their silence.

Those who still had any conscience among these noble families were all shaken by Shen Qingge's words. As they walked along, they recalled the past, feeling either melancholy, regret, or relief. Facing the Shen family, they felt both shame and respect.

As for those who are still unwilling to give in, they can only bury their resentment deep in their hearts. After all, Shen Qingge is so powerful that they cannot afford to offend him.

Meanwhile, thanks to the meticulous care of the whole family, my fifth sister-in-law, Bai Yu, has recovered considerably. She can now and then walk for a short distance, and she has no abdominal discomfort.

What was even more gratifying was that after Shen Qingge took the baby's pulse, he concluded that the fetus in the womb was safe and sound, and the entire Shen family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Ping, as he was, was nowhere to be found, alive or dead. The women of the Zhao family seemed to have accepted this fact, no longer begging the officials to continue the search. Instead, they followed the procession with a distraught look. Their faces were haggard, their eyes were empty, and they had no hope for the future.

However, unlike the Zhao family, the other exiles were still quite concerned about their future itinerary.

According to the officials, their next destination was Anshan County, which was about 200 miles away.

This county was one of the largest and most prosperous cities within a radius of several hundred miles. Perhaps they could have a good meal or two there and get a good night's sleep.

Hearing this, the convicts felt very happy.

The captain Wang Gui was also in a very good mood, thinking that he had encountered some good things. He was not so harsh on the prisoners and was even "kind-hearted" enough to distribute more food to every household.

Why is Wang Gui so happy?

It’s because news came from the capital that Lord Liu Wu has personally led the royal guards to come to support, and will meet them soon, and the meeting place is Anshan County!

By then, a tight net will be laid there, and no matter how strong Shen Qingge is, she will be unable to escape.

All he had to do was lure the enemy into a trap and lure all the fugitives to Anshan County.

Originally, he was a little anxious and was thinking about the perfect plan to deal with Shen Qingge along the way.

Now, he doesn't have to worry anymore. With the support of Lord Liu Wu, he can easily wipe out the Shen family.

Thinking that the mission was about to be completed and he would receive a generous reward, Wang Gui was overjoyed and felt that all his hard work in recent days had not been in vain.

Unexpectedly, all his actions were under Shen Qingge's control.

The secret letter in his arms had fallen into Shen Qingge's hands at some point. Although it contained only a few words and did not specify a detailed plan, it did mention that the place of action was Anshan County.

Haha, what a prosperous city!

Shen Qingge's face was gloomy and he sneered. However, in addition to the Shen family, the target of this operation was the Fifth Prince.

It turns out that Xiao Mo still can't tolerate his younger brother, even though he is terminally ill!

Thinking of this, she suddenly had an idea that perhaps it was time to meet the Fifth Prince.

After all, she has not yet recovered. If she wants to fight back against the officials with all her strength, it will be difficult to ensure the safety of all her family members.

Moreover, if they were to capture all the officers and soldiers in Anshan County, they would inevitably be hunted down again and again. She didn't want her family to be forced to wander around because of her, living in fear and dodging assassinations all day long.

Therefore, she needs an ally who can give the Shen family a legitimate identity and protect the Shen family.

Then, the best choice now is the Fifth Prince Xiao Heng.

Although she didn't know why the Fifth Prince would help her, she was inexplicably certain.

Similarly, as an ally, she should also tell Xiao Mo about her plan to get rid of him so that he can prepare early.

Coincidentally, the Fifth Prince was also thinking about how to meet Shen Qingge.

Ever since she took the initiative to look for Yun Yi last time, he has been thinking about how to meet her.

The woman's boldness was beyond his expectations, and it forced Yun Yi to remain in seclusion for several days.

Yun Yi has always prided himself on his great martial arts skills and secretive actions, but he is no match for a young lady from a noble family. He is simply rubbing the face of the head of his secret guards on the ground.

Until yesterday, he finally accepted the reality that there is always someone better than you, and that person is a woman.

However, Xiao Heng's desire to meet Shen Qingge had nothing to do with Yun Yi. He just felt that since his whereabouts were clearly exposed, there was no need to hide it.

Moreover, he wanted to thank Shen Qingge in person for the elixir he had given him—Xuezhicao. This medicine was very effective. Over the past two days, he had felt much better, and he could clearly feel the toxins being suppressed.

More importantly, since he knew the officials intended to use the flaming tree and luxuriant flowers against her, he couldn't just sit back and watch. He absolutely couldn't sit idly by and watch his benefactor's daughter be harmed by that evil drug!

……

The autumn night is quiet, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

After Shen Qingge waited until her family fell asleep, she took her "meeting gift" and went to meet the Fifth Prince.

In order to avoid scaring the weak Fifth Prince, she did not use teleportation, but chose a more reasonable way to appear in front of him.

He knocked out the two guards standing outside the tent and strode into the tent.

At this time, the scene inside the tent was like this.

The Fifth Prince Xiao Heng was holding a scroll, sitting upright, reading intently.

Yun Yi, who was standing by, was respectfully holding the lamp for him.

Hearing the slight noise coming from outside the tent, the two stopped what they were doing and looked up at the entrance in unison, their eyes full of vigilance.

Yun Yi's hand tightened around the sword at his waist, ready to strike.

But when he saw who it was, Yun Yi couldn't hide his embarrassment and became hesitant.

Unlike Yun Yi who was at a loss, Xiao Heng seemed much calmer and looked carefully at the woman in front of him. This was the first time the two of them had met face to face at such a close distance.

Looking closer, Shen Qingge was dressed in a plain cloth gown with narrow sleeves and a trim edge. Though simple, it accentuated her height. Her long, dark hair was gently pulled back with a wooden hairpin, revealing her delicate features.

Honestly, her appearance wasn't exactly stunning, but it possessed a unique charm. Her skin was delicate, with a subtle sheen. Her eyebrows, like distant mountains, rose slightly, exuding a touch of boldness and heroism. Her eyes were bright as stars, and her nose was straight and beautiful, adding a sense of dimension to her features.

The whole person exudes a unique free and easy temperament, very unruly, but the shackles on his ankles are a bit of a spoiler, and Xiao Heng couldn't help but frown slightly.

Likewise, Shen Qingge was also examining him. Although she had met him several times before, she had never been able to see him clearly due to the distance or the dim light.
