The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

Chen Yuanshu stopped and listened carefully for a while. It sounded like a cry for help.

It was far away, so she wasn't sure if she heard it clearly.

"It seems like someone is in danger up ahead. Let's go take a look."

Of course, the Chen couple listened to Chen Yuanshu's decision.

As for the refugees behind her, naturally, whatever she said was what she did.

The group walked towards the direction of the sound, and the closer they got, the louder the sound became.

She stopped and looked at the people behind her, "You wait here, I'll go over and take a look."

"Well, okay, then Shu'er, be careful."

"I will."

The Chen couple really saw everything during their trip.

When they came down the mountain, they saw a group of migrating people. Most of them were pale and thin, wearing tattered clothes. In this still very cold winter, they were walking step by step to an unknown stop.

If they had not followed their lord to the mountains, their family might have been among the migrating crowd.

Among these refugees, we also see the diversity of human hearts. Even though some people are suffering themselves, they still do not forget to help others to the best of their ability.

However, some people fully demonstrate the ugliness of human nature and do all kinds of evil.

After seeing their daughter leave, the Chen couple told the six refugees how powerful their master was and told them everything Yun Zhi had led them to do.

When Yun Zhi was mentioned, the couple's eyes lit up.

"Anyway, our lord is a very good person. It was he who suggested that we take you in."

What followed was a torrent of praise, almost comparing Yun Zhi to a god who had descended to earth to save the people and the suffering.

Because they did not mention Yun Zhi's gender at all, and they called him "Lord", those people thought that the Lord was an adult man.

After listening to what the Chen couple said, several refugees looked at each other. Seeing their clothes and the fact that they didn't look hungry at all, their uneasy hearts calmed down a little.

There was no way out if I kept going, so I might as well give it a try and follow them.

Moreover, they don't seem to be bad people, and the lord they are talking about is a capable and kind person.

There were six of them in total, from two small families. One of them was a young couple who had just gotten married. When they saw Chen Yuanshu appear, they gave her some of their remaining dry food.

The other was a family of four, a couple with two daughters. When they saw Chen Yuanshu and heard that she was separated from her parents, they couldn't help but think of their own daughters.

Seeing that her age was about the same as that of the second daughter, she suggested that they go together.

Anyway, they are a group of people who rarely keep their original hearts in this world.

Listening to the Chen couple praising their master endlessly, the man in the young couple licked his dry lips and looked at them.

"Will we get food there?"

The feeling of being hungry is so unbearable that they don’t ask for enough to eat, just to have something to eat.

"As long as you can work, you will not only have food to eat, but you will also be able to eat your fill."

"Really?"

The young man's eyes lit up and he squeezed his wife's hand excitedly.

"Of course!"

Zhao Yuaner, the second daughter of the middle-aged couple, looked at Chen Yuanshu walking away step by step and retracted her envious eyes.

She was shy and clutching the edge of her clothes. Her nose was red because of the cold weather.

She looked at the Chen couple and said, "Uncle, aunt, what does my sister do? She's amazing."

When Chen Yuanshu was leading them away, they encountered several waves of people who wanted to rob them, but they were all easily dealt with by Chen Yuanshu.

Speaking of Chen Yuanshu, the Chen couple's faces were full of pride. "Our daughter is a member of the lord's guard. She is the only woman among the twelve men."

The middle-aged woman asked in surprise, "Can women learn martial arts?"

"Why not? Our Lord said that men and women are the same. As long as you have talent, you will be given important positions."

The six people nodded thoughtfully.

The middle-aged man, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "Can we know where we will live in the future?"

All they knew at the moment was that they were in the mountains, and they didn't even know the location.

As soon as these words were spoken, the six people looked over.

How could they not be curious about the place they are going to go in the future, which is also the place where they are going to settle down?

Although the Chen couple were simple-minded, they knew what to say and what not to say, especially since their daughter had reminded them before leaving.

Father Chen looked at them and said, "You'll understand when you get there. There's no need to rush."

"Oh, yes, yes."

The middle-aged man did not ask any more questions, fearing that he would upset them and then not take them away.

For a moment, the place became quiet.

On the other side, Chen Yuanshu slowly approached there. When she was almost there, she hid between two trees and looked over there.

I saw.

Liu Qinghe hid his wife and daughter behind him and looked at the two big men in front of him.

Although he has a thin body, he still protects his wife and daughter tightly.

Even though his legs were shaking, he didn't move a step.

He didn't know why they were so unlucky.

Liu Qinghe was a scholar in his county. He passed the imperial examination when he was over 25 years old. After failing repeatedly, he settled down and opened a private school there.

Relying on the tuition fees from the private school and the annual subsidies from the imperial court, the family lived a little better than ordinary people.

Since being a scholar was considered a small honor, his family did not have to perform labor service or pay taxes.

Everything was apparently going well, but who would have thought that his daughter Liu Anruo was actually favored by the county magistrate there, who wanted to take her as his sixteenth concubine.

But the county magistrate was already sixty years old, older than him, and half of his body was buried in the ground.

He didn't have high requirements for his daughter's future husband, as long as he loved her and married her as his legal wife.

How could she be a concubine of a sixty-year-old man? He was not the kind of man who would sell his daughter for fame.

Helplessly, the county magistrate was pressing him, so he had to escape with his wife and daughter.

Who would have thought that when escaping here, we would encounter bandits, and two of them at once.

So he ran away with his wife and daughter. The shouts Chen Yuanshu just heard were made by them.

But how could a few weak people like them escape from two strong men?

So the result now is that he was caught.

His voice was a little breathless. He looked at the two bandits and said in a flattering tone, "Two good men, I will give you everything I have on me. Please let us go."

As he said this, he was about to take out the things in the bag and give them to them.

"It's not impossible to let you go."

One of the bandits glanced at Liu Anruo with a lewd smile, "Your daughter is pretty. Why don't you, hehe, hand her over to us?"

Then he looked at his wife again, "Madam, you still look so charming. Why don't you hand them over to us? We will let you go and even give you some food. This is a good deal, right?"

"You...you are shameless."

"Hahaha, it's a blessing for your wife and daughter to be able to follow us in Qinglong Village. Don't refuse a toast and then drink a penalty."

Looking at the two people approaching step by step, Liu Qinghe gritted his teeth and stepped forward to hug their thighs.

"Ruoruo, take your mother and run!"

Liu Anruo took her mother's hand, stepped back a few steps, and thought for a moment, "Mom, let's go. We'll call someone to rescue Dad."

Now is not the time to hesitate, what we need to do is to call for help.

After watching his wife and daughter run away, Liu Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief.

But he breathed a sigh of relief too quickly. How could a scholar like him possibly withstand two strong men?

As a result, he was kicked ten feet away.

Liu Qinghe climbed up despite the pain and saw two bandits about to grab his wife and daughter's hands.

At this moment, all he could think about was that it was over.

Unexpectedly, the mutation happened at this moment.
