Traveling through ancient times to survive

As expected, what Zhao Qing expected was correct. The government sent troops to resolve the chaos. As for why no soldiers came to look for these people, it was probably because the person who reported the incident had met with an accident. Either the message was not delivered, or it was delivered but no one cared. If it was the latter, it would be terrible.

No one cares even about the crime of training private soldiers for rebellion, which is punishable by the execution of nine generations of the entire clan. This only shows that they are unable to do anything about it or are sure that they don't need to do anything about it.

There have been successive disasters here, and no more than one in ten people survived. The so-called gangs in the town are just a group of rabble in front of the army, and there is no way the army can't handle them.

Combined with what they said earlier about the Qinglong Gang having evacuated towards the mountain, this means that the Qinglong Gang had been eliminated, and they encountered only a small group of remnants who had escaped, so only a dozen brothers were able to escape.

In this case, it can only be that the military felt that it was unnecessary to intervene. Why was it so sure? It can only mean that in the eyes of the military, these people would definitely not survive.

Why is it that he will definitely not survive? It turns out that he is not going to let anyone here go.

Zhao Qing looked at the people who were still waiting for her reply: "Where are you going?"

The leader was delighted: "Do you have any suggestions, Mr. Wang?"

"You'd better go deeper. There are many people who have fled into the mountains. I have met many people along the way. I can tell you where in the inner circle is a little safer."

Zhao Qing carefully pointed out three relatively safe places to the leader, and the leader concentrated very hard, fearing that he might have remembered the wrong route.

Looking at the mysterious and powerful man in front of him, the leader suddenly had an idea. Since the people in their village had moved away so long in advance, their village must be extraordinary. In addition, with the young man with superb martial arts skills in front of him, their village is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. This person is so familiar with this mountain and can tell him three safe spots, which means they must have found a safer place in the mountains.

If they could take refuge in this man's village, the dozen or so brothers would definitely be able to live well in this world.

After making up his mind, the leader smiled brightly and said, "Would you like to take us in? We eat less and work more, and we are obedient and hardworking. You will definitely not lose out if you take us in."

The younger brothers behind him were startled and looked confused. Only Chen Wu understood the eldest brother's plan in an instant. He said, "Hero, as long as you accept us, we will be loyal to you and do any dirty work."

Zhao Qing was speechless. He was quite considerate, but it was a pity that the food in the valley was not enough to feed these dozen young men.

Zhao Qing said with regret: "I am willing to do so, but unfortunately our village is in trouble and our food reserves are insufficient, so they sent me out of the valley to see if I can buy food."

The leader had a disappointed look on his face and his eyes were dim. Since the other party had clearly refused, he would offend the other party if he continued to refuse to give up.

"That's a shame. Let's say goodbye now. I wish you a safe journey and hope you get what you want."

Seeing that this person was so sensible, Zhao Qing still made a promise. Anyway, the valley was training an ace team, so it would be fine to accept them. However, they were short of food now, so they could only let these people wait for a while.

"You too, if our village resolves the food crisis, I can go to the three safe locations to look for you. I hope you are all safe."

The leader was refreshed and hope was rekindled: "Okay! We must live well and wait until the day when the hero comes to find us."

Zhao Qing said goodbye to the team and set out again. The closer he got to the periphery, the more people there were. They were in a hurry and looked panicked.

When he found the former camp, he found that it had been occupied by a group of vicious people. Zhao Qing sneaked in, knocked one person unconscious, and then quietly retreated.

Take the person to a deserted place and wake him up roughly.

The person who woke up had a fierce expression on his face: "You bastard, you're courting death! How dare you sneak attack your grandfather!"

Zhao Qing sighed. Why did this guy seem to have no brains? He was clearly tied up, but he couldn't see the situation clearly. He had to go through the process himself and be beaten up before he would cooperate.

Zhao Qing didn't bother to talk nonsense and beat the man up. The man threatened arrogantly: "Do you know who our boss is? Dare to hit your grandfather! The boss will definitely chop you into pieces and make dumplings!"

He begged for mercy with a bruised face and nose: "I was wrong, I was wrong, please spare my life, Grandpa!"

Less than a quarter of an hour had passed, and Zhao Qing thought it would be very difficult, but he stopped with a feeling of unsatisfaction.

The man lowered his head with a fierce look in his eyes, and when he raised his head, he looked flattering again: "Grandpa, if you have any request, I will do it as your grandson asks."

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

The man's eyes rolled, and just as he was about to speak, he was beaten again. Without waiting for the man to ask, Zhao Qing warned him coldly: "This is the first time. If you dare to lie again, you will lose your hand!"

"Grandpa, my grandson hasn't said a word yet!" The man's heart tightened, but an expression of aggrieved appeared on his face.

"Do you think I don't know that you just wanted to make up a lie? Forget it. I have already tied up several people. If you don't want to cooperate, I won't force you."

As Zhao Qing spoke, he pulled out the knife from behind him. The man was so scared that he almost peed himself and begged for mercy again and again.

"Grandpa, please spare your grandson. He will never dare to do it again! He and his grandson are members of the Qinglong Gang in this town. The army has come to this town to kill us!"

The man's voice became more and more urgent, and finally his tone changed. Cold sweat broke out, and he didn't let out a breath until Zhao Qing's knife stopped in front of his neck.

Zhao Qing deliberately said with disdain: "Humph, you are a bunch of weaklings, but you are so flattering that you even want the army to come and wipe you out. Do you deserve it, you bunch of trash?"

The man's eyes were about to spit fire, and he shouted in his heart, "When I get back, I will make you, this bastard, wish you were dead!" In his mind, he had thought of more than a dozen ways to torture Zhao Qing, and only then did he barely suppress his anger and flatter him.

"Grandpa, you really have a good eye. Of course, your grandsons are not worthy of being dealt with by the army, but those soldiers are demons! At first, some idiots thought they had seen the savior and went to greet them with joy, but they were shot mercilessly before they even got close. They killed anyone they saw, without any distinction, and did not let a single person live. It was a completely inhumane massacre!"

The man became more and more terrified as he spoke. It turned out that their boss was the third in command of the Qinglong Gang. The first and second in command were all shot dead. The third in command realized something was wrong and escaped in time with more than 30 people.

"Very good. How many of you are there?"

Looking at the sharp blade in front of him, the man didn't dare to act strangely and answered honestly: "Thirty-four people in total."

"get out!"

"Hey, grandson, get out of here!" The man bowed his head, then turned and ran away, with a bloodthirsty and cruel smile on his face, "You bastard! Wait, I will chop you into minced meat!"

A silver light flashed, and the man's head flew high into the air. His body ran forward a few steps before falling down.

Zhao Qing wiped the blood from the knife with an expressionless face. How could she not sense the man's malicious intentions? Unlike Chen Wu, this man was full of blood and must have killed many people. She had no intention of letting him go back alive.
