"My surname is Liu, given name Cheng, and I am from Xifeng. These are my guards, and those are the women in my family. They were hunted down because they offended Duke... They don't even want to spare a baby." Liu Cheng gave a general account of the situation, sometimes true and sometimes false.
The Liu family? I don't know them. I don't know any of them.
Song Zhuiyan looked at the group of women and found that they were all young and beautiful. Although they were wearing plain cotton clothes and no jewelry, their outstanding looks could not be hidden.
The children were all chubby and fair-skinned, showing no signs of being refugees. They seemed to come from a wealthy family. The fact that they had survived being hunted by Duke meant they were clearly not ordinary people.
"We have other matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave now." Having already rescued the person, Song Zhuiyan didn't want to get involved with these people any further. She first searched the soldiers, taking all the valuables, and then brought over all six horses, intending to take them with her.
Liu Cheng's lips twitched. This woman was too audacious. This was Duke's territory. She actually wanted to take all of Duke's men's horses. Where could she take them?
Xi Feng was guarded like an iron barrel by Duke's men, yet she still wanted to get something from Duke?

Song Zhuiyan said expressionlessly, "Don't worry, I'm not a good person, but I'm not a bad person either. I won't rob other people's things for no reason.

Unfortunately, these soldiers were also poor, and even if they collected everything, there wasn't much silver left.
Liu Cheng and the others looked at her strangely, but Duke's men deserved to die, and they had no objection to Song Zhuiyan's actions, only that they thought she was very eccentric.
"This place is not safe to stay any longer, and we are preparing to leave quickly. Since you two do not wish to reveal your names, please keep this jade pendant. If we have the opportunity to meet again in the future, Liu Cheng will certainly repay you handsomely." Liu Cheng handed over a jade pendant.
Song Zhuiyan did not refuse. She took it and looked at it. She thought the jade was very beautiful. She did not know much about jade and could not tell its value. But in ancient times, jade was the most precious and valuable. It was fine to take it. If she needed money in the future, she could pawn it for a lot of silver.
