One day, the officers and soldiers were escorting the men of the Li family. When they passed by a farmer's house, they felt extremely thirsty, so they knocked on the door to ask for water.
An old woman opened the door.
Seeing that they were soldiers, he did not dare to provoke them and invited them into the yard.
Although the people from the Li family were all tied up with iron chains and were covered in dust, the escorting officers and soldiers were quite polite and caring to the gentlemen of the Li family because they had received invitations from the Tianfeng Trading Company and had received a lot of money.
I asked for some water for them all.
It's so hot that people feel like they're about to burst.
Everyone held the water scoop to each other and started to scramble for it.
I finally sat down under the tree and felt a little cooler, when suddenly there was a loud bang at the door.
It was Liu Qingzhu who came back carrying firewood.
She looked at the people in the yard in shock, her head buzzing instantly.
Then she dropped her things, turned around and ran away in fear.
"flower!"
Although the old woman didn't know what was happening, she immediately ran after him.
"Why her?"
"Could it be that we are dazzled?"
Li Chaoan muttered strangely and looked at Li Chaohuai.
Li Chaohuai sneered: "Who else could it be but her? I can recognize her even if she turns into ashes!"
"Hua'er, wait for me—oh, I can't run anymore—"
The old woman had difficulty walking, and she was out of breath after chasing Liu Qingzhu for a few steps.
Liu Qingzhu then stopped and looked at the person behind her with red eyes.
She just wanted to live a simple life in the second half of her life, so why did she run into them?
Is it true that no matter how hard she tries to escape, she can't?
She waited for the old woman to come over and held her tightly.
"Are you afraid of them?"
"Don't be afraid. Mom is here with you."
"Can we go home after they've all left?"
"My child, I know you've suffered a lot in the past. What woman could possibly bear those scars on your body?"
"Mom doesn't care about your past. We just need to live a good life from now on."
Listening to what the old woman in front of her said, Liu Qingzhu's tears fell one by one.
Has she finally found something that truly belongs to her?
Something as precious as a treasure can actually be so simple.
She nodded.
Just as the mother and daughter were about to sit on the ground, Liu Qingzhu suddenly saw several black figures sneaking towards home.
Her forehead was throbbing violently.
Almost instantly, without thinking, she picked up the old woman and rushed back home.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw the officers and soldiers fighting with those black figures.
"Old man—"
The old woman shouted nervously.
Liu Qingzhu covered her mouth with her hand.
However, regardless of the danger, the two of them took the opportunity to sneak into the corner and found the old farmer.
The family of three hugged each other tremblingly.
However, a dark shadow suddenly pounced on him.
Liu Qingzhu stood up without thinking and spread her arms to block the way ahead——
Although, the sword has not fallen.
But she was so scared that she almost wet her pants.
She was indeed scared and cried.
From nowhere, several more people appeared.
These people killed all the men in black without leaving a single one alive.
In an instant, the yard was filled with corpses and blood.
"Who are you?"
"What do you want to do?"
The officers and soldiers couldn't tell whether these people were good or bad, so they were all trembling with fear and waving their swords.
Sha Shi, who was sent to escort secretly, also had his face covered.
He clasped his arms and said coldly, "If we were bad guys, would you still be standing here talking to me?"
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"
After saying that, Sha Shi remembered something and went outside and threw in a sack.
When the sack was opened, Qu's weathered face was revealed.
"Why is she here too?" Li Chaoan was very disgusted.
Li Chaohuai sneered: "Their family of four is reunited, what a good arrangement."
When the other officers and soldiers saw a woman being thrown in and heard that she was from the Li family, they immediately became unwilling.
Kill the ten and put the sword on their necks.
"If you want to survive the rest of the journey, it's best to pretend you know nothing."
"Anyway, one more person won't make much difference, and one less person won't make much difference either."
"Don't you agree?"
The sword only needs to swing lightly, and a head will fall to the ground.
Several officers and soldiers had just seen their skills and were naturally very scared at this time.
So, I had no choice but to keep the person.
Seeing Li Kechuan, Qu's dazed expression brightened.
"Chuan, Chuan'er!"
"Chuan'er—Isn't this a dream, Chuan'er?"
Qu stumbled over and hugged Li Kechuan.
Li Kechuan was also very excited when he saw Qu.
But after getting excited, he raised his left arm and pointed at Liu Qingzhu who was trying hard to hide herself in the corner.
"Mother, look who that is?"
Liu Qingzhu was trembling with fear.
The old farmer and his wife held her in their arms, neither daring to speak.
Li Kechuan saw this scene and laughed viciously.
"Liu Qingzhu, do you think you can hide forever?"
"Be careful not to harm innocent lives again because of your identity!"
His words made Liu Qingzhu's face change instantly.
She looked up at the old farmer and his wife, feeling very sad.
She was a concubine who ran away from Prince Yun's palace, and also a slave who ran away.
If this matter gets out...
Are they going to die too?
