“Miss Lu, you can’t go. Sun Wuyin gave instructions that no one is allowed to leave the exile group without permission.”

Da Hu stopped the two and tried to persuade them gently.

Song Qingqian frowned and said with some displeasure, "Why can't we go? Are you allowed to eat all by yourself while we can only watch?"

“Miss Lu, where would you find wild apricots? You must be mistaken. This area is all poplar groves.”

Song Qingqian hesitated for a moment, then feigned confusion: "How could there not be any? I clearly saw several soldiers go that way just now. You must be deliberately making things difficult for us..."

"No, Miss Lu, they didn't go to pick wild apricots, they went to have some fun."

Da Hu had no choice but to explain that if there were wild apricots here, Sun Wuyin would have sent people to pick them long ago, instead of doing it so quietly and secretly.

Song Qingqian narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at him calmly, and asked, "Did she go with us voluntarily, or was she arrested by the soldiers?"

"It was voluntary, anyway, when Li Cong called her, Gao Huayan went without saying anything. The Gao family all watched coldly, and none of them stopped her."

Song Qingqian nodded and continued, "Is Li Cong the leader, the one who's dark-skinned and strong, and looks rather fierce?"

"Yes, that's him! After Zhang He was injured, Sun Wuyin temporarily promoted Li Cong, and now he's basically in charge of all the exiled people!"

"That's it!"

Song Qingqian smiled calmly. No wonder she felt that the hater had been watching her cautiously all day; it turned out he had gained power.

That Sun Wuyin is really something, he promotes whoever he thinks is bad, they're all cut from the same cloth.

"Then forget it, let's not go."

No sooner had Song Qingqian finished speaking than a piercing scream echoed from the woods, followed by a commotion among the wolves. Her expression changed, and she spoke urgently:

"Oh no, a pack of wolves!"

She then grabbed Lu Xieyue and ran towards the carriage. The exiled people panicked and scattered in all directions, looking for a place to hide.

Some clever ones spotted a large tree nearby and started climbing it, while the cries of women and children echoed throughout the area…

When Da Hu saw wolves chasing several soldiers back, he was so frightened that his legs went weak. He immediately went to report the matter to Sun Wuyin.

"Get in the carriage quickly! No matter what happens, don't come out."

Song Qingqian quickly stuffed Lu Xieyue into the carriage and gave instructions to the people inside.

"Take the bow and arrows for defense!"

After handing the bow and arrows to Lu Jingchuan from the carriage's storage box, Song Qingqian took out a longsword and tossed it to Lu Yunqi, instructing him:

"If you don't want to be eaten, you have to kill them!"

Lu Yunqi nodded quickly, but his hand holding the longsword still trembled slightly. He had never even killed a chicken or duck, let alone a wolf.

Moments later, the wolves charged into the exile caravan, tearing and mauling them...

Big Yellow charged straight up and pounced on the nearest wolf. The wolf and the wolfhound rolled together and were indistinguishable.

Just as Song Qingqian was at a loss, with a whoosh, Lu Jingchuan's bow and arrow shot out, blowing the wolf's head off.

What amazing archery skills! Song Qingqian felt from the bottom of her heart that the title of War God General was well-deserved. Then, three arrows were fired at the same time, and the three wolves fell down.

Sensing danger and provocation, the wolves swarmed and attacked the carriage.

Lu Yunqi instinctively hid behind Lu Jingchuan, trembling as he held his long sword.

Good heavens, it's not that he's useless, it's that he's really scared. This is the first time in his life he's faced so many wolves. The way these wolves are looking at him really feels like they want to rip out his heart and eat his lungs.

Song Qingqian calmly commanded, "You take the lead, I'll cover the rear!"

Lu Jingchuan nodded and replied, "Be careful!"

"Ok!"

After saying that, Song Qingqian jumped onto the roof of the carriage, took out a boomerang, and hurled it at the two wolves that were pouncing on her.

In an instant, the two wolves were split into four pieces, and the boomerang, after spinning several times, returned steadily to Song Qingqian's hand.

Unable to gain an advantage behind the carriage, the wolves left only three to wait for an opportunity, while the others attacked from the front.

To Lu Yunqi's astonishment, Lu Jingchuan fired six arrows in one go, all six hitting their mark…

In the blink of an eye, only five or six of the twenty wolves that had surrounded them remained. The remaining wolves, seeing that the situation was not good, tried to retreat, but Song Qingqian and Lu Jingchuan worked together seamlessly and quickly dealt with the situation.

It's important to know that wolves are extremely vengeful animals. If any escape, the consequences can be dire, so it's essential to eliminate them completely.

“Help…Help!”

Seeing that the wolf pack had been dealt with, cries for help rose and fell among the crowd. Hu Guo was so busy dealing with the soldiers that he had no time to deal with the exiled prisoners.

Many women came crying and pleading with her. Song Qingqian nodded in agreement and went to the back of the carriage to get her medicine box before following them.

Watching the exiled prisoners frantically scramble for wolf meat, before leaving, Song Qingqian pointed to the two wolves closest to the carriage, whose heads had been blown off by Lu Jingchuan, and said:

"These two are ours, and no one is allowed to take them! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Although Jiang Yicheng and Lu Haofeng were furious, they still reluctantly abandoned the two wolves and went to fight with others for them.

Song Qingqian beckoned to Lu Jingchuan and said, "You take charge, have your second brother process the wolf meat!"

Lu Jingchuan smiled gently and nodded, waving his hand to reassure her.

Seeing Song Qingqian bandaging others, Old Madam Yu, supporting her son Yu Shuowen, squeezed in and said anxiously:

"Quick...quick, let me see my son! He's got a huge chunk of flesh bitten on his leg..."

"Song Qingqian!"

Old Madam Yu screamed in anguish, reaching out to grab Song Qingqian, but she subtly dodged her.

Song Qingqian didn't even lift her eyelids as she continued to treat the bite wound on Huo's eldest son's arm.

Hu knelt down beside Song Qingqian with a thud, pleading:

"Jingchuan's wife, I beg you, my husband is the pillar of our family, he can't lose this leg..."

"All the mistakes we made before were our fault. I'll kowtow to you, please?"

Song Qingqian turned a deaf ear. It's ridiculous that she made such a fuss over a piece of flesh. Besides, the bone is still intact, so how could it be ruined?

She glanced at the injured exiles in line and said softly, "Alright, next one!"

Old Madam Yu angrily cursed, "Song Qingqian, are you even human? My daughter-in-law knelt down and begged you, and you still act so heartless! You're simply..."

"Just what?"

Song Qingqian sneered and turned to look at her, warning, "Old woman, I'm not Lu Jingchuan, I don't fall for your tricks. Go back to where you came from."

"And I'm the kind of person who holds grudges the most. I just made it very clear: anyone who has a grudge against my Lu family, even if they're about to die, I won't even look at them."

"you you…"

Madam Yu was so angry that she couldn't breathe and almost fainted.

Song Qingqian coldly rebuked, "Get out of here! Do you want me to slice your flesh piece by piece and feed it to the wolves?"

Some of the exiles in line grew impatient and quickly grabbed Yu Shuowen, throwing him away while cursing him fiercely.

"Didn't you hear me? Madam Lu told you to get lost and not get in our way of bandaging!"
