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

When Shen Qingge heard this, he was stunned. Then he looked around and found that his previous companions were no longer around.

She couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Where are your previous companions? Aren't they with you?"

The young man shook his head, sighed and said:

"Most of them are from Anshan County and nearby villages. After leaving the mine, we went our separate ways. They were anxious to return to the village to check on the situation and look for their families. As for me, I was alone, wandering around, taking things as they came..."

Shen Qingge nodded in understanding, then asked curiously, "So where are you from? Why did you come here and get caught in the mine?"

The young man took a deep breath and told her his past life: "I was originally from Zhongling County, Beidi Commandery, and my full name is Li Cheng.

My father ran a small escort agency in the county. I don't know who he offended, but when I was ten, he was hunted by his enemies. I was the only one in my family who managed to escape. I was still young at the time, so I could only beg for food and work to survive.

Two years ago, I heard someone on the road say that Anshan County was hiring workers, so I hurried over. But upon entering Anshan County, I was knocked unconscious and thrown into the mines..."

Shen Qingge fell silent after hearing this. Even in these days, which couldn't be called troubled times, there were still many pitiful people! But now, she hadn't avenged her great vengeance, and the danger around her hadn't been resolved. How could she possibly accept someone and let them be dragged into danger for no reason?

However, this boy is indeed brave and resourceful, with a kind heart and good skills. If he can join the military camp, he might be able to make a name for himself. However, he can't go to the Zhenbei Army anymore, so where else can he go?

She was in a dilemma for a moment, racking her brains and thinking again and again.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind. Oh right, she could go to Uncle Fu's place!

After thinking it over, Shen Qingge asked, "How old are you this year?"

"Fifteen!"

"Well, I'm old enough! I'm one year older than you, so I'll call you by your full name. Little brother Li Cheng, look... my clothes and these shackles. I'm a fugitive now, and I can't even protect myself.

Besides, I have unfinished business and cannot help you, let alone keep you by my side. But I see that you have good martial arts skills. If you can join the army, you may be able to achieve something in the future."

As Shen Qingge spoke, she took off the shackles from her waist, tied them back on her feet, and then looked at Li Cheng sincerely.

Li Cheng looked at her, knowing that what she said was for his own good. After a moment's thought, he nodded in agreement. He had once dreamed of joining the army and making a name for himself. But he felt a little unsure and asked timidly, "But where can I go? The famous Zhenbei Army? Will they want me?"

Shen Qingge was silent for a moment after hearing this, then patted his shoulder lightly and murmured:

"You can't go to the Zhenbei Army now. It's not that they don't want you, but the Zhenbei Army has changed. You will understand later.

However, I recommend a place to you. You can go to the Hexi Army. The commander there is called Liu Fu. He is not only upright, but also respectful to others. He is a good general worthy of respect.

Besides, the Hexi Army is located in the western borderland, where wars are frequent and they need to recruit soldiers widely. Perhaps you can find a place for yourself there."

After she finished speaking, she pulled out a heavy purse from her bosom, handed it to Li Cheng, and said, "This is a small token of my appreciation. I can't do anything else for you, but this money is enough for you to use on your journey."

Li Cheng clutched the purse tightly, feeling overwhelmed. He tried to return it to Shen Qingge, but she stopped him, saying, "Take it. This is my trust and support for you. I hope you can find a way out in the army and become a successful person in the future. I have high hopes for you!"

Upon hearing this, Li Cheng clenched his purse tightly, tears welling up in his eyes. He looked at Shen Qingge with gratitude, then knelt down again, kowtowed in gratitude.

Seeing this, Shen Qingge pretended to be angry and said, "If you do this again, I will really beat you up and take back the money!"

Hearing this, Li Chengcai burst into laughter, stood up, and touched his head shyly.

"Well, now that the matter has been resolved, we met by chance and must eventually part ways, so let's say goodbye now. I wish you a bright future and smooth sailing!"

After Shen Qingge finished speaking, he was about to leave.

Li Cheng called out to her from behind, "Lady, no, benefactor, may I ask your name? Where should I find you in the future to repay your kindness today?"

Shen Qingge stopped, turned around, and said with a smile: "There's no need to repay the favor. My name is Shen Qingge. If nothing unexpected happens, I will go to Lingnan. If we are destined to meet, we will meet again!"

After saying that, she turned around and left gracefully, leaving Li Cheng standing there staring at her receding figure for a long time.

……

When Shen Qingge returned to the Auspicious Inn again, everyone in the exile team was still sleeping soundly, and there seemed to be fewer spies around.

It must have been late at night and quiet, so they relaxed their vigilance a little and took turns to rest.

She tiptoed back to her old place and crawled back into her own bed, wrapping herself tightly in the quilt. She had to hurry and get a good night's sleep, because when she woke up tomorrow morning, there would surely be another day of chaos and noise.

Sure enough, the next morning, everyone was awakened by shrill cries.

When Mrs. Wu woke up, she didn't see her two daughters. She thought they had gone to the bathroom, but after waiting for a long time, there was no sign of them. She couldn't help but murmur in her heart, so she asked the Wu family to search around the inn.

After searching for a long time, there was still no sign of anyone. However, the beads on Wu Yujie's body were found in a corner, and there were long wheel marks on the ground.

This string of beads was blessed by the Buddha and was worn since childhood and never taken off. This immediately aroused the vigilance of the Wu family.

Their cries grew louder and louder, attracting the villagers around the inn, who began to chatter: "Normally, it's always boys who go missing, but now girls are missing too! How pitiful..."

Only then did Mrs. Wu realize that her two daughters were really missing.

After searching for several times without success, she ran to seek help from the exiled officials.

But Wang Gui had no mood to pay attention to her. Seeing that he couldn't send her away, he whipped her again, and then the shrill cry was heard.

Mrs. Wu sat in the open space of the inn and cried for a long time, but no one paid any attention to her. In the end, she had no choice but to give up and hide in a corner, crying alone.

Zhao Si's wife also got up. She rubbed her dizzy head and looked around with empty eyes. Hearing Mrs. Wu's cries, she lamented how pitiful the two girls of the Wu family were. At the same time, she was also glad that she had caught a cold last night. Perhaps the thieves thought it was bad luck and didn't drag her away.

Shen Qingge was not far away, listening to the discussions of the crowd, smiling slightly without saying a word.

At this moment, the sound of orderly footsteps came into her ears from ten miles away, coming from far away and getting closer.
