A massive famine! The whole family travels through time together, and with their spatial abilities,

Shen Shuli gritted her teeth and immediately spurred her horse towards the direction of the signal flare.

People on the street were hurrying along, and the road was a bit crowded. Horses couldn't run fast at all, and it was faster to run on foot.

Fifteen minutes later, Shen Shuli finally arrived at the location where the signal flare was launched.

Outside the inn.

A group of soldiers in armor surrounded the inn.

No one in the vicinity dared to linger.

These officers and soldiers in armor were different from those in ordinary uniforms.

One was a soldier in the army, and the other was an ordinary yamen runner in a local county town.

They are not on the same level.

Through the crack, Shen Shuli could see soldiers and civilians fighting inside the inn.

You can vaguely see members of the Li family and other people from Peach Blossom Village.

With a large number of officers and soldiers, Shen Shuli could not confront them head-on.

I quietly went around to the courtyard next to the inn.

They happened to run into the homeowner in the yard, who wanted to scold the intruder who had suddenly climbed over the wall into his yard.

Shen Shuli immediately tossed over a handful of copper coins, saying apologetically, "Sorry, the situation is urgent. I need to pass through your house. Thank you."

After saying that, he climbed over the wall and onto the courtyard of the inn.

The owner of the yard didn't even have time to react before the intruder disappeared from his sight.

He was stunned for a long time before he reacted and quickly went to pick up the copper coins on the ground.

"That's really strange, there really is such a thing as a free lunch."

As soon as Shen Shuli jumped down from the courtyard, she was spotted by soldiers in armor.

"who!"

Shen Shuli saw several soldiers, each holding a woman, forcibly stripping them of their clothes.

You don't even need to guess what these people want to do!

Anger surged in Shen Shuli's eyes!

But she didn't have time to stop these people; she just wanted to find someone she knew as soon as possible.

It's not hard to imagine that the people of Peach Blossom Village would definitely encounter the same thing!

That signal flare must have been a distress signal sent out by Li Qinghe in despair!

She had already wasted a lot of time getting here, and now she couldn't waste time rescuing those strange women.

Shen Shuli didn't notice that her eyes were already wet with tears.

"Bang bang bang!"

They searched several rooms but couldn't find any members of the Li family.

Along the way, they encountered many soldiers. Shen Shuli disregarded everything else and took out her pistol to shoot them.

Her face and clothes were already stained red with blood.

She grew increasingly anxious and immediately shouted for help.

"Li Qinghe! Shout it out if you can hear me! I'm coming to save you!"

Her voice could be heard by everyone in the inn.

"Ah Li, Ah Li, please save us!"

Upon hearing the noise, Li Bo immediately shouted for help.

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuli immediately ran towards the inn's lobby.

In the lobby.

A group of young men were tied up with ropes by soldiers, and they were either squatting or lying on the ground.

You can tell from his appearance that he's just been beaten up.

Several soldiers with long spears were guarding the area.

Upon hearing someone shout and yell, a soldier immediately punched Li Bo several times.

Seeing that some soldiers were still beating the Li family members, Shen Shuli immediately drew her gun and shot them dead.

Along the way, she had already killed several soldiers, and this feud had been formed.

She doesn't care about having a few more.

Shen Shuli took out a dagger from her boot, untied Li Bo, and quickly asked him questions.

"What happened? Where are the women in your family? Where is Li Qinghe?"

When Li Bo saw Shen Shuli come to rescue them, he cried in distress.

"They were arrested by some soldiers! Waaah, all the unmarried girls in my family have been taken away, and I don't know where they've been taken!"

"These soldiers said they were going to arrest all the men and conscript them into the army!"

"They even tried to forcibly seize our grain to use as military rations."

"Ah Li, what should we do, what should we do!"

Before Shen Shuli could offer any comfort, she picked up a large knife from the ground and handed it to Li Bo, asking him to untie everyone in the hall.

Many soldiers chased after them, and the soldiers guarding the inn also noticed something was wrong and all rushed in to provide support.

"Listen up, everyone! Kill these government soldiers! Their behavior is no different from that of bandits! Kill them! That's the only way to fight your way out!"

With that, Shen Shuli once again charged towards the soldiers.

She was still using a pistol.

Everyone in Peach Blossom Village knows that she possesses extremely powerful hidden weapons.

In a critical moment, even if there were outsiders present, she would still need a pistol to quickly deal with these highly skilled soldiers.

The people of Peach Blossom Village had at least killed bandits.

Adding to this, these soldiers were bullying their women and children and were trying to force them into military service, so they already harbored resentment.

With Shen Shuli taking the lead, everyone mustered their courage and fought the soldiers to the death.

Shen Shuli invited them to join, obviously wanting to drag everyone down with her so that they could pool their strength and carve out a path.

Before long, more than twenty soldiers had died under Shen Shuli's gun.

All soldiers were dealt with.

Shen Shuli called Li Rui over.

Let him take control of the inn with the able-bodied men of Peach Blossom Village.

The innkeeper and his staff were so frightened that they hid in the kitchen and dared not come out.

To prevent them from causing trouble, Li Rui tied them up and gagged them.

The inn's door was closed, and a "Closed" sign was hung up.

At least for now, we can hide for a while.

"Gentlemen, first move all the soldiers' bodies to the woodshed and hide them, and clean up the bloodstains."

"Make sure to guard the gate well and don't let anyone in! I'll come back to you after dark! I'm going to check on the other villagers!"

"Be very careful! We're waiting for you to come and pick us up!" Li Rui was still flustered.

This is different from killing bandits and spies from the northern barbarians!

These are all soldiers!

There is a military camp outside the western suburbs of Qingzhou, with 30,000 soldiers!

They were killing soldiers from the military camp!

Who wouldn't panic?

After resolving the matter here, Shen Shuli left immediately.

She needed to find her parents quickly to see how things were going.

along the way.

While dodging and worrying about being targeted by the soldiers, Shen Shuli looked at the chaotic streets.

Wherever the armored soldiers went, they arrested everyone who met the criteria, regardless of whether they were ordinary citizens or refugees passing through the city.

They didn't even spare women and children!

The soldiers looted all the meager food, water, and other supplies that the people had in their homes and on their person.

Shen Shuli didn't know why these soldiers would suddenly do this, but it must have been premeditated!

Restaurant.

Shen Shuli noticed that the restaurant where they were resting had also become chaotic.

There are even more soldiers arresting people here!

Because the guests here started fighting with the soldiers!

The leaders were naturally the Su family and the Shen family.

The other guests in the inn all hid and showed no intention of helping.

More and more soldiers are coming to provide support after receiving the news.

Shen Shuli was extremely anxious.

If it alerts everyone in the entire military camp.

They are definitely doomed!
