"Don't worry about this, I promise no one will leak it."

More and more people stood up one after another. Most of them were wealthy people. Together with those who made the proposal, there were nearly a hundred people.

But these people did not intend to let them go. "If anyone is unwilling, then all of them will die."

"If we go with them, we still have a chance to survive. But if we go with you, we will die." They knew what these people were doing, and a response came from the crowd.

Without waiting for them to get angry, Sheng Changan took action. He stomped hard on the person behind him, then grabbed the wrist of the person behind him and stabbed the knife into his own body.

This shocked them greatly, and before they could react, Li Hui and others had already surrounded them.

"No need to kill them, we will go down the mountain now. Those who are willing to go with us can pack up now." Sheng Changan moved his wrist.

Soon there was a rustling sound from the crowd.

Sheng Changan looked at those people expressionlessly and said, "Find a place to lock them up and release them after we leave."

Although they had resisted, they were indifferent to the people brought by Sheng Changan. After all, they were just ordinary businessmen. Although their servants knew some martial arts, they were not many. As for their weapons, Gao Qiang had confiscated them all.

"Sir, there is indeed a crack." Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Li Hui has been on high alert these days.

"Those who have difficulty moving, find someone to carry you. Let's get down the mountain now." The timing was really wrong. There was only one road leading up the mountain. Although it was relatively flat, there were slopes on both sides. The only good thing was that the rain was much lighter now.

"See if those people have any lighting." Every night, the area around these people is the brightest, so there must be a lot of good things. Sheng Changan cleared his cough and said, "If there is anything we can use, let's take it along the way."

These people are going to die anyway, so we might as well make the best use of them.

With their help, at least the road was barely visible, and finally they reached the foot of the mountain at dawn, but everyone was almost soaked.

Yu Xiuran was a little worried. Although there was a place to shelter from the rain, it was still raining heavily outside and lightly inside. "Sir, are you thinking too much?"

A strong smell of ginger soup filled the air. "If it really comes, we won't be able to escape."

Yu Xiu Ran sighed, "Those bastards should be so happy." They won the battle and gave the land to them. In their minds, they were probably fools.

Sheng Changan smiled but said nothing. With the rain falling like this, it was hard to say whether they could survive.

"Master, our carriage has been taken away"

"What bad luck! Just consider it a reward for them. I really don't know where these beggars came from." Although he said so, he was still very angry. Fortunately, these people did not touch their money.

At dawn, the rain got heavier. No one wanted to sleep, and those who were not feeling well stayed together in the carriage.

"Next, I plan to divide these people into several teams." This was something she had thought of a long time ago, but it was difficult to implement at the beginning.

"Having more people can have a deterrent effect on others. If we separate, there might be problems," Yu Xiuran said worriedly.

"With so many people here, if someone sees me, they might think I'm deliberately gathering so many people to rebel."

This... Yu Xiu Ran stopped talking. It was really unlikely that he could avoid people along the way.

"Divide into six teams. Xu Qing and I will go in front, Li Hui will cover the rear, and Li Dashan, Gao Qiang, Chen Ze, and you will be included. If anyone asks, just tell them that the floods in the south are too severe and we should go to Shanglian for shelter."

"Each team gets a carriage. Children and the elderly with mobility issues should try to sit in the carriages. If anyone gets suspicious, just say we're doing some business on the way."

"There are fewer elderly people and children in my team." Sheng Changan frowned and thought for a while. There are six carriages. "There is still one carriage for the third team."

"Also," Sheng Changan said seriously, "from now on, hot water must be used for entrance and bathing, and people or corpses lying on the roadside are not allowed to be touched."

"A doctor will be assigned to every other team. If there is widespread physical discomfort, someone must notify me immediately. Anyone unwilling to comply with this can leave the team."

"If you feel you should stay, but I find someone breaking the rules, I will expel them from the team directly. You must practice martial arts whenever you have time along the way." At this time, physical fitness can determine a person's life or death.

Before they could answer, a loud noise was heard. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound. It was already some distance away and they couldn't see clearly, but they couldn't help but look over.

This direction is the stronghold. Judging from the sound, something must have happened over there. Some people who were originally complaining began to feel relieved, while others looked towards Sheng Changan.

She had anticipated this and was not surprised at all. She just asked again, "Do you understand? I don't want any surprises."

After this, Yu Xiuran calmed down a lot and no longer questioned Sheng Changan's thoughts. "I will definitely live up to your expectations."

The others also expressed their opinions one after another. Only Chen Ze gave Yu Xiuran an ambiguous look. When no one was around, he spoke, "The Lord hasn't agreed yet."

Yu Xiuran glanced at him sideways. He was still a little unaccustomed to not having a fan in his hand, so he could only touch the hilt of the knife. "My lord, you have no objection."

No objection is naturally equivalent to agreement. Besides, with his ability, it is only a matter of time before the adults agree.

After waiting for a few more days, the sun was finally seen. During this period, some people couldn't help but be curious and ran directly to the place where the sound came from to take a look.

Among these boring people were Yu Xiu Ran and Chen Ze. These people had seen it with their own eyes, and although they could not understand some of Sheng Changan's arrangements, they still carried them out honestly.

In their words, the lady has her own way of doing things and they just have to follow her.

In order to create distance, Sheng Changan led the team to set off first, and the second team set off two hours later.

Le Qingping recently caught a cold, so Sheng Changan arranged him in the third team, which caused Xu Qing to complain, "Sir, I am a doctor, why did you put me in the back row?"

In order to speed up, he couldn't even ride in a carriage, he could only ride a horse, and he had to walk in front with Sheng Changan.

Sheng Changan was too lazy to pay attention to his complaints. It had rained heavily for several days before, but the weather had improved a lot in the past two days. At night, they found a dilapidated temple and stopped temporarily.

But before them, there were already people in the dilapidated temple. Sheng Changan paused and walked in.

There were about fifty people in this group. They were familiar with each other and seemed to be from the same village. There was even a pregnant woman among them. She was a little wary when she suddenly saw so many people coming in.
