Luan Qingshan was beaten so badly that he didn’t even have the strength to stand up. He was barely able to stand up with the help of his wife. He called his daughter weakly and told her to return to the cell and not to be fooled by Qin.

Luan Hong had just released the children from the prison cell. When she heard her father’s words, she told him straightforwardly,

“Father, that bastard surnamed Qin has already been killed by your daughter. You know what crime it is to kill an official of the imperial court. We have no way out. We might not be able to survive if we escape, but we will die if we stay here.”

Hearing his daughter’s words, Luan Qingshan was shocked. Killing an official of the imperial court was a big crime. His daughter was bold. He was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

“Why did you kill him?”

Yang Rubing was like a raging fire, not afraid of anything. Seeing Old Master’s pale face, she said domineeringly,

“So be it. Otherwise, what if he harms Xiao Hong? At most, she would die. What was there to be afraid of?”

Luan Qingshan was stunned for a moment before smiling bitterly.

“Madam is right. At most, we will die. Our whole family will not be lonely if we die together.”

“We won’t die. Our benefactor is amazing. We will survive.”

Luan Hong was full of confidence. She had faith in Su Qing, who had saved her.

“Forget it. Since things have come to this, 1 can only brace myself and move forward.”

Luan Qingshan saw that his wife and daughter didn’t care. He didn’t care about life and death as long as the family was together. If he were still afraid, he wouldn’t be a real man. His eyes were relieved. n-.OVElb1n

Two children had been running a high fever due to the shock and were already unconscious. Luan Hong carried one in each hand and shouted for the other children to follow her. She feared the children’s cries would attract the Wan Family Army. Luan Hong even instructed them in advance,

“Don’t make a sound. I’ll save you and take you to find your parents.”

The children were all frightened by the fierce soldiers. They felt that this sister was very gentle, so they nodded obediently. There were still tears on the children’s faces, but none cried.

Yang Rubing supported Luan Qingshan, while Luan Hong carried the sick children and took care of the other children. They finally walked out of the prison.

Luan Hong found that the corpses on the ground were gone, and her benefactor was gone. Her heart suddenly became anxious, and she quickly called her parents and children to leave this dangerous place.

She lived in the government office, so Luan Hong knew where she could hide. She brought the children to her father’s study with her parents, pressed the button to open the secret room that her father’s predecessor had built, and quietly led the children in.

While Luan Hong took the children out of prison, Su Qing killed the soldiers who came to change shifts and walked towards the backyard.

The government office prepared side rooms for the bailiffs on duty and guest rooms for guests. The people staying in the guest rooms were the people of the Wan Family Army.

Su Qing had asked her father how many soldiers had come to Luo City. Fler father told her that there were about 30 of them. Some lived in the government office, while others lived in the official courier station.

What Su Qing wanted to do now was to clean up the Wan Family Army in the government office. Since they helped the evildoers, they should die. None of them should be spared.

However, she didn’t kill the maids and housekeepers of the Luan residence. Instead, she used a hefty dose of knockout powder to knock them out. The amount of this drug was enough to knock a person unconscious for a day and a night, so she didn’t have to worry about them ruining her plans.

After dealing with these people, Su Qing took about two hours to check carefully to ensure no one was caught.

After checking that nothing was left out, Su Qing went to the backyard to pull out the Zhizhou’s carriage. There were too many children, and they couldn’t leave without a carriage.

Before returning to the prison, Su Qing made three cuckoo calls. This was the secret code she and Luan Hong had agreed on.

After Luan Hong, hiding in the dark and waiting for Su Qing, heard her, she carefully poked her head out from behind the tree and called out to Su Qing in a low voice.

“Benefactor, I’m here.”

“Where are the children?”

Su Qing asked her because she only saw Luan Hong alone and was worried that she did not bring the children out.

“They’re all hiding. I’ll go and call them.”

Luan Hong’s eyes lit up when she saw Su Qing drawing the carriage. She was worrying about how to get them out of there. Her benefactor was thoughtful.

She jogged to the study and brought her parents and children out. The children were frightened and followed closely behind Luan Hong. When they saw Su Qing, the children hid behind Luan Hong and dared not come out.

“Get in the carriage!”

Su Qing saw Yang Rubing supporting Luan Qingshan. Judging from the situation, he was seriously injured. They were all old, weak, sick, and disabled. They were all burdens.

However, since she had decided to save them, she had no reason to give up halfway.

Su Qing wanted to help carry the children, but the children were too frightened and cried. Luan Hong coaxed them into the car one by one.

Luan Hong was a pampered young lady. She had been frightened for an entire night and was extremely nervous. She had also carried more than ten children in a row. She was so tired that she collapsed.

Yang Rubing thanked Su Qing profusely when she saw her, and Luan Qingshan also cupped his hands in gratitude.

“We have to leave before dawn.”

Su Qing’s face was indifferent as she urged them to enter the carriage. Yang Rubing saw that this young man was cold and taciturn and knew now was not the time to thank him, so she helped Luan Qingshan into the carriage.

Three adults and a dozen children filled the carriage.

Su Qing led the horse carriage out of the backyard. It was already midnight, and the alley in the backyard was quiet. Su Qing drove the carriage out of the backyard of the government office and turned onto the main road. She found that the parents who had lost their children were still waiting outside the government office.

She didn’t alert them. The commoners were timid. It was useless to give the children to them now. The soldiers would catch them if they couldn’t take them out of the city. It was better to save them first and talk about other things later. “How many people are guarding the city?”

Su Qing asked Luan Qingshan, who was in the carriage. As the Zhizhou, Luan Qingshan naturally knew how many people were guarding the city. He didn’t dare to ask his benefactor why she asked this. He answered truthfully,

“There is a small team guarding the city gate at night. There are a total of fifteen people.”

Su Qing nodded and gave up on killing all the soldiers guarding the city gate.

It was impossible to kill more than ten people at once. When they hit the gong and called out the guards in the city, she could not bring the children out without anyone noticing.

Then she could only use the method she and Yang Zhi had agreed on!

She drove the carriage to the eastern city wall. There were also guards on the city wall, but only two people patrolled back and forth. Su Qing killed them all with two sleeve arrows.

She mimicked the cuckoo’s chirping outside the city and listened quietly.

Soon, he heard three cuckoo cries outside the city. After confirming that Yang Zhi had arrived, Su Qing threw a five-clawed golden hook at the city wall and quickly climbed up.

Yang Zhi set up a long ladder outside the city wall. Su Qing moved the long ladder into the courtyard wall to help Yang Rubing and Luan Qingshan climb up the ladder.

Although Luan Qingshan was heavily injured, he still gritted his teeth and climbed the city wall. After climbing up, he couldn’t stand steadily and fell to the ground.

Su Qing carried a child and another child up the city wall, leaving Luan Hong to take care of the rest of the children.

One was sent to eight children in a row, leaving only the last four children when others discovered them.

Two patrolling soldiers ran towards them and ordered loudly, “Who is it? Come down..”
