Chapter 101

Shen Ru didn't tell her family about Pei Chongguang. It was useless to talk about things that didn't happen.

But if the exile team speeds up, everyone can feel it.

"Aru, what's the matter? Do you want to rush to Liangzhou?"

Shen Yan asked, "Did Chen Qing say anything?"

"Isn't it because the stop and go was too slow before? Of course he wants to go to Liangzhou as soon as possible."

Shen Ru replied, "Father, mother, I think Cuixi and the others are waiting in a hurry in Liangzhou. I can't wait to get to Liangzhou right away."

"Aru, can we really avoid hard labor when we get to Liangzhou?"

Shen's mother worriedly asked: "Your father and I, and my aunt are fine, but Xuanxuan and Nian'er..."

"Didn't I tell you this before? Don't worry, I've made all the arrangements!"

"Um...Shen Ru, my mother and I have a younger brother..."

Shen Ping spoke hesitantly. She, Qian and her brother were almost invisible in the carriage, and they wisely did not disturb Shen Ru's family.

But when she heard them talking about going to Liangzhou, Shen Ping also wanted to fight for her family.

"You three, please follow us, but I don't want to take care of my second uncle."

Shen Ru said directly, "Of course, asking you to follow us does not mean that you will do nothing at home. We are all assigned to Liangzhou, and we are not really here to enjoy the blessings."

"That's natural." Mrs. Qian quickly expressed her position, "Brother, sister-in-law, I don't dare to say that I'm freeloading on your family. It's just a girl like Ping'er, and Feng'er is so young..."

"Well, anyway, even if you don't have to do hard labor, you still have something to do."

Shen Ru thought that he still had one thousand kilograms of salt. When the time came, both drying and washing the salt would require manpower.

"We are all women, and women help women. But if the head of the house comes to eat and drink, we won't entertain him!"

Shen's mother told the ugly story first, and she doubted that Shen Tong could do such a thing.

Qian's face looked awkward. She hesitated and couldn't say anything decisive. After all, he was her husband-in-law and the father of her child!
"If my father still has this kind of virtue, I will never let him come and eat for free."

Shen Ping said decisively, she had been on the road of exile for several months, and she was truly alive only when she was in Shen Ru's carriage.She knew that only by following Shen Ru could their situation get better.

As for her father who doesn't care about her mother or her at all, why should she care about it!

Shen Ru was still very satisfied with Shen Ping's consciousness, but seeing the expression on her second aunt Qian's face, she knew that this matter was not that easy. Anyway, we would just have to wait and see when the time comes!

In the carriage, the Shen family thought about their life after arriving in Liangzhou.

The officials in the exile team were also extremely nervous. After all, if they encountered gangsters, they would be the ones injured.

But at night, Chen Qing was a little confused. From Daduan Dynasty, there was a station for thirty miles. Today they must have walked more than thirty miles. Why was there no station?

"Boss, is this broken house an inn?"

Chen Qing was heartbroken when he saw that where the inn was supposed to be, there was just a small, dilapidated building.

"It should be the border of Suzhou now. I'll ask you when I get to the county later. Let's spend the night here tonight!"

"It's better to live in a broken house than sleeping in the mountains. Chief, I'll go get the prisoners settled."

Soon, Shen Ru and the others arrived at the broken house where they could see the night sky when they looked up.

"Fortunately, it's not windy from all sides, which is better than in the mountains and forests."

Shen Ru joked: "I think we can light a fire and set up a pot to boil water in the yard!"

"If you want to eat, let me see. Do you want to eat cake tonight?"

Shen Ru opened the bag and found that there was still some dry food in it.

"Sister, let's boil water together."

Sister Shen Xuan and brother Shen Nian are very attached to Shen Ru. Shen Ru also said that they cannot drink raw water, so they would take time to boil hot water along the way.

Put this hot water in a kettle. It's okay to drink it when it's cold. "Then let's go!"

Shen Ru took his younger brothers and sisters and went to work. In the open space, the officials were sitting in groups and chatting.

After the water was boiled, the officials also asked Shen Ru for a drink of hot water.

Although the night is cold and there are no stars, the three siblings Shen Ru and Guan Cha are getting along quite leisurely at the moment.

"someone is coming!"

Chen Qing suddenly shouted in a low voice.

Following Chen Qing's words, Shen Ru saw two moving candles coming towards them quickly.

In the firelight, she noticed a few cold lights.

"The person who came here is not good, Xuanxuan, Nian'er, go back and find your parents!"

Shen Ru quickly pushed his younger siblings into the house, "Mr. Chen, get your weapons!"

Two masked men in black came. After pushing the door open and entering, they paused when they saw the officer and Shen Ru holding weapons.

"Where is the Pei family's child?"

As soon as the person opened his mouth, Chen Qing knew that this was probably a killer sent by the imperial court. He hesitated a little, whether he should take action or not!

"What Pei family kid? You two are so sneaky and you don't look like good people at first sight. We are here to escort prisoners, so why don't you leave quickly!"

Shen Ru was the first to shout, seeing that he was here to kill Pei Chongguang, how could she ignore him?

"Stop talking nonsense, if I kill you, someone will tell you."

One of them said very harshly, and then started to move his hands after speaking.

It's coming towards me, this is a persimmon to pick on the weak!

When Shen Ru saw the opponent's sword pointed directly at his door, he snorted coldly, and then used his bare hands to seize the blade.

Then there was another kick to the leg, which directly pushed the man to his knees.

Seeing this, the other person immediately attacked Shen Ru. When Shen Ru dodged to avoid it, the killer who was kneeling by her rolled on the spot and stood up.

As soon as the two paused, they immediately joined forces to attack Shen Ru.

"Boss, would you like to help Miss Shen?"

The official next to Chen Qing asked.

"Do you think she needs our help?"

Chen Qing whispered, with a plan in mind. If these two killers didn't die, they would just continue to assassinate without giving up.

The most important thing is that if someone among the official officials knew that the Pei family's child was going to be killed, it was hard to say that someone would not be tempted.

"The eldest daughter of the Shen family is really good at her skills. Why isn't she famous in the capital?"

"It's just that I have never heard that the eldest lady of the Anguo Hou Mansion is highly skilled in martial arts. What I heard seems to be that she fell unconscious while riding a horse."

A group of officials were beside Chen Qing, praising Shen Ru. They were deeply impressed by Shen Ru's skills!
Seeing the man in black showing his defeated image, Chen Qing saw the right moment and stabbed a man in black directly in the back of the heart.

"Shen Ru, do things quickly!"

As he spoke, he pulled out the knife and slit the throat of the other killer who was injured by Shen Ru. His movements were faster than before.

Shen Ru was startled, but when he saw Chen Qing's dark eyes, he immediately understood.

Facing only two corpses, she felt like vomiting.

"Master Chen, I'm a little dizzy. I'm a weak woman and I can't bear to see such a dangerous scene. I...I'm going back first!"

As Shen Ru spoke, he threw the knife he had taken away on the ground and walked quickly back to the house with some staggering steps.
