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

I often hear those literary scholars say that if you don't have the right time, right place and right people, even if you succeed, you will suffer disaster. There is some truth to this.

It is difficult to predict how long this rainstorm will last.

It could be as short as one or two days, which is not a big deal, but it would delay the journey a bit, and we would just have to work hard to make the convicts go faster later.

But if the rain keeps falling for three to five days, or even longer, then it will be difficult to deal with!

Not only have we lost contact with Lord Liu Wu's team, but if they encounter a flash flood or landslide, it could be fatal!

By then, let alone whether I can complete the mission, I will probably die anyway!

The more Wang Gui thought about it, the more worried he became. His heart felt heavy, as if a huge rock was pressing down on him. Furthermore, Prince Qin's men were always cautious and erratic, and he always contacted them. Now that things were like this, where could they find him?

Looking at the bowl of black rice porridge just handed to him by his subordinate, Wang Gui suddenly lost his appetite.

With a "bang", he raised the porcelain bowl in his hand and smashed it to pieces.

"Give it to me, and you're just going to give it to me? You're such a useless bunch of trash!"

Ma Si, who was standing nearby, saw this and immediately ran over, saying flatteringly, "Brother Gui, calm down. When the rain subsides a bit, we brothers will go to the mountains and hunt some game for you to try."

The Wu family, who were so hungry that they were seeing stars, heard the conversation of the officials and hurried over with pleading looks on their faces.

They also hoped that the officials would allow them to go to the nearby mountains and forests to catch a wild rabbit or something to satisfy their hunger. At the very least, it would be good to pick some wild fruits to fill their stomachs.

They were really, really hungry. If they continued like this, they wouldn't be able to survive for more than a few days.

Wang Gui saw that the officials had little food left, and he hadn't had meat for a while, so he was very greedy. So he agreed and also showed some favor to the Wu family.

But the premise is still, you have to wait until the rain abates before you can go out. If you go out now, it is hard to say whether you can catch anything. If you get lost or fall off a cliff because the mountain road is slippery, you will not be able to come back.

The spirits that had once been in the air were instantly dampened. The crackling sound of rain continued outside the cave, showing no sign of abating.

The Wu family returned to their own campfire in extreme disappointment and said nothing more. The other prisoners also packed up their things, and the cave, which had been a little noisy, gradually became quiet.

Shen Qingge, who had been silent and bored, scratching the ground with a branch, suddenly raised her eyes. How could she have forgotten about this?

She quickly used her mind to enter the space and search for the trace of the water qilin.

The Water Qilin sensed Shen Qingge's presence and began to shake his head excitedly: "I knew that the master would come to find me!"

Shen Qingge replied slightly embarrassedly, "I was so busy trying to avoid the rain and get food, I actually forgot about our 'Water God'!"

"No problem! Master, isn't he here? Are you asking me when the rain will stop? I used my telekinesis to sense it just now, and it's probably going to rain for another four or five days! By then, the roads will be flooded, and there might even be landslides and earthquakes. Master, please be careful!"

"There are still four or five days left, that's great! In these two days, I will find an opportunity to find out where the team of guards sent by the King of Qin is!" Shen Qingge thought to herself, she couldn't wait to go and find them.

Shen Qingge decided to use his teleportation ability to travel to different locations several times, carefully searching for clues left by the Royal Guards. Although this was very energy-consuming, it would be worth it as long as he could find them.

The water qilin shook the dragon scales on its body, making a crisp sound, then snorted, not quite agreeing with her plan.

It told Shen Qingge that he could try to increase his perception and telepathy to a larger range so that he could find the target faster.

When Shen Qingge heard this, his eyes lit up and he curiously asked Shui Qilin how to improve his perception and telekinesis.

The Water Qilin told her that in the past two days, its health had gradually recovered and it had the energy to move around.

So, it wandered around in Shen Qingge's space and found that many of the books stored in the attic were precious ancient books, which were indeed excellent works. Studying these ancient books would help improve the owner's abilities.

At this point, Shen Qingge began to hesitate a little.

Although she didn't know that the books in the space were the legendary ancient secrets, she understood that they were definitely not ordinary things.

However, she had never liked reading since she was a child. If no one urged her, how could she take the initiative to flip through those books? Therefore, since she found these books in the space, she had not even turned a page.

The Water Qilin noticed her hesitation and immediately transformed into a lobbyist:

"Master, as a mortal woman, you are not only courageous and resourceful, but also highly skilled in martial arts. You are truly a rare and extraordinary woman, as you are no less capable than any man!"

When Shen Qingge heard this, she understood in her heart that this Water Qilin would definitely try to trick her into studying, just like the teacher the mansion had hired in the past.

So, she instinctively felt resistance, thinking that she was just raising a spirit beast, so why did it feel like she had found an old teacher for herself?

However, the Water Qilin wasn't intimidated by her attitude, but continued to persuade her methodically. It was said that spirit beasts and their masters were connected in thought, so it naturally knew what Shen Qingge was thinking.

"Master, have you never thought about the origin of this space? If you want to know the opportunity, it may be difficult to decipher with your current strength. Cause and effect cycle, life and death, everything has its destiny!

Let alone the chance of breaking the space, your current strength may not be enough to protect the Shen family. The enemy is numerous and we are few, the enemy is strong and we are weak, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, please think twice!"

After hearing these words, Shen Qingge was quite touched and couldn't help falling into deep thought.

Indeed, she was no longer the naughty girl she once was, the daughter of a wealthy family. After going through so much, she had long understood that the complexity of the world was beyond her imagination.

Now, she not only has to protect herself and her family, but also has to shoulder the responsibility of the family. Given her current strength, many situations are difficult to deal with!

Moreover, she had promised the Fifth Prince Xiao Heng that she would detoxify him, so she couldn't just go back on her word!

As she thought about it, her brows furrowed unconsciously.

Seeing this, the Water Qilin immediately took advantage of the situation and pursued him: "Also, Master, don't you want to know the secret of your life experience? Why is your bloodline different from that of ordinary people?

I can only sense that your bloodline has a strong attraction to me, but as for your origins, I'm afraid you can only discover them yourself after unlocking this opportunity in space!"

The bloodline issue was mentioned again, which undoubtedly touched her heart completely, and she was finally persuaded by Shui Qilin.
