Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

"..."

The beggar was choked and speechless. Finally he found a clean place by the river and washed his face.

"Hmph! Zhu Changmei? Why did you become such a bear?"

Shi Qing looked a little distressed.

In the past, Zhu San was a beauty who could pretend to be a beauty. Now he is very skinny, with most of his head bald, and there is a big black spot with burnt flesh on his face.

"You are living like this now, how can you be worthy of your father, Governor Zhu? How can you be worthy of your two brothers who died in the war? How can you be worthy of the people of Meicheng?!"

Zhu San looked at Shi Qing in confusion, but he really didn't recognize her.

The war in which Shi Qing participated was a dream created by Meicheng's unjust ghosts for Shi Qing.

In order to close the distance and empathize with each other, they asked Shi Qing to stand on their side of the "dream".

Zhu San looked around. The cowards and outposts were gone, which showed that they had been dealt with.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Shi Qing was not in the mood to eat either, of course, because she had nothing to eat. She crossed her arms and asked Zhu San with contempt.

"……revenge."

Zhu San didn't hate it at all, but wanted to tell her all his worries.

"Confused! Your father clearly told you to live! Now your life is no longer your own. From now on, you must live a good life and see all the mountains and rivers with the people in Meicheng."

Shi Qing didn't want him to fall into a trap of revenge and be unable to extricate himself. I can only find an excuse at will.

Furthermore, the torrent of history is that the Jin people have dominated the country and cannot be undone. Therefore, Shi Qing didn't want him to waste time, because the Jin people's world would be destroyed anyway.

The world, after all, belongs to the people of the world.

Zhu San didn't answer. He wanted to cry, but he held back.

Family, country and world are not things that outsiders can explain. Knowing that there are still people from Meicheng alive makes him happy.

He regarded Shi Qing as a native of Meicheng, and this explained why Tong Shi Qing knew him, and why he felt friendly when he looked at her.

So everyone knows the truth, but it doesn't make sense to people.

Zhu San also died on the day he was killed in Meicheng. The living Zhu San is just a puppet of hatred.

Shi Qing didn't persuade her again.

She can hold a grudge for several lifetimes, so how can she tell others to let it go easily? What I can let go of is no longer a blood feud.

"whatever!"

Shi Qing picked out Yuan Jintong's gold bracelet and walked to the front. "If you want to go into the city with us, come with us!"

"...Thank you."

Zhu San finally gave up and went to the city with Shi Qing and Wang Ren. He asked Shi Qing for two horses and left alone.

"Oh, Sister Qiao...how are you?"

Wang Ren looked at Shi Qing carefully and saw the "tigress"'s eyes filled with water. This special situation made him even more frightened.

"Uncle! You are really looking for a fight!"

After Shi Qing finished speaking, he drove to Xincheng. Even if they return to the capital, they still need to have a full meal.

But people really can't afford food. Shi Qing has gold and silver, but there is not enough money for food.

Nowadays, there are natural disasters and wars, food is scarce, and gold and silver have depreciated.

"Add this gold bracelet!"

Shi Qing placed Yuan Jintong's gold bracelet on the table. "I only want noodles, noodle soup, millet, steamed buns, etc., but I don't want vegetables. Why not?"

She stared and shouted, now it is the sixth hotel.

It’s impossible not to find a hotel, and there’s no way to get food anywhere else.

"Oh, grandma, how can we dare to prepare so much food in our small business? It's easy for you to eat vegetables now, but there is really no food. Even if you buy it now, you have to wait until tomorrow."

Shi Qing knew that the shopkeeper was not lying. Nowadays, rice grains are limited, and rich people don't dare to eat more.

"Where is the food?"

Shi Qing only felt that the more she ate, the hungrier she became, and her appetite was directly awakened.

"..."

"Why didn't you tell me? Do you think I can't afford it?"

Shi Qing wanted to throw out another gold bracelet, but she only had this one piece of jewelry on her body, and her uncle Wang Ren had already been ripped off, so the two of them couldn't get another coin together.

"I don't dare, I don't dare. It's just that it's not easy to tell girls about that place. As it turns out... that place is a brothel, and the Red Lantern District should be able to supply it."

"Oh!"

Shi Qing didn't hesitate too much, grabbed the gold bracelet and left. The shopkeeper didn't stop him, but turned around and told the spies who were collecting information at his home.

"A gold bracelet with the Yuan family's pattern appeared. I don't know if it was obtained by the Yuan family or someone else accidentally."

Someone immediately conveyed the news, and Wu Yungui, who was recovering from his injuries in the garden of a wealthy family, soon got the news.

"Trash! Why don't you catch him and bring him back for trial!"

His injury has not fully healed even after nearly a year. But his brothers, relatives and friends have already rushed ahead of him. If he doesn't get results, he will be a joke in the family group.

"Go quickly! You must find the treasure to wash away the shame on me!"

When Shi Qing went out again, she found that she was being watched.

There were people ambushing and supervising along the way. If Shi Qing changed his route, they would also change the route immediately.

Shi Qing couldn't care less about eating and started "walking people" mode.

Shi Qing is "kissing" here, and Zhu San is also at the contact point over there.

As soon as they saw Zhu San, everyone couldn't help but come forward to care.

"Why are you back?"

"Why did you come back? Where have you been these days?"

"Yes, we are all so worried about you! We heard that Wu Yungui's minions have been looking for you, and we are all very worried."

Everyone looked at each other and looked at Zhu San with concern.

"Have you found the news about the treasure? We are in a tight situation on the front line now, but we need this batch of food for emergency relief!"

Zhu San looked at everyone, they all had the same attitude, but this also made it increasingly unclear to him who had harmed him.

Since Meicheng was killed and he was lucky enough to survive, he has been in contact with the enemy's team.

It wasn't until the Jin Dynasty prospered and the Wood Dynasty declined that he thought about retiring.

Zhu Taishou asked him to protect himself, but he didn't listen. He just came back for the sake of the brothers who were fighting together.

But on the way back, the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became.

He was always cautious, so why was he almost caught by the enemy these few times? And if Shi Qing hadn't saved him, he would have died of illness at the Meicheng Temple.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch the wound on his face. The people who died in Meicheng have been protecting him, but he must be more cautious.

After dealing with everyone casually, he finally remembered about the treasure. Now that there is another person from Meicheng, I am afraid that sooner or later someone will miss him.

He'd better go find Shi Qing and the others and protect them secretly.

As soon as he left, agents from the contact point released homing pigeons.

"The person has returned, but there seems to be a new clue."

Zhu San avoided people and caught the pigeon in his hand. After reading the letter, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Sure enough, there is a spy in the team."

He planned to stop looking for Shi Qing and find out about the spy first.
