As the water in her palm drained away, Zhang Cong'er's heart became sad. She was still smiling, but tears suddenly flowed down.

"Young Master..." Zhang Cong'er asked softly: "Is it because Cong'er is not good enough? Or does the Young Master already have someone he likes?"

Su Qing touched her hair in silence. His heart was so blocked. He knew how much courage it would take for a little girl to do this in this era.

He couldn't bear to make Cong'er sad, but he couldn't give Zhang Cong'er what he wanted.

"Miss Cong'er, you are a good girl and deserve a better person..."

Zhang Cong'er was a little sad: "But in this world, no one can be better than Young Master..."

"After we escape, after many years, if the young master still doesn't have anyone he likes..."

Let's be together...

Zhang Cong'er's voice became smaller and smaller, but Zhang Cong'er did not say the last sentence.

Su Qing didn't hear clearly: "Huh?"

Zhang Cong'er raised her smile again: "It's okay."

Su Qing said "Yeah", he looked at the sky outside through the window and said: "Have a good rest..."

It's a pity that Su Qing wanted to have a good rest, but reality didn't allow it.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, someone was talking outside the dungeon, and Su Qing could hear it clearly because of the loud voice.

"We have suffered heavy losses in today's battle. I don't know what the leader is thinking. If we stay here until the officers and soldiers come up, we will all die..."

"Yes, not to mention that so many brothers have died, the leader has also been injured, and the officers and soldiers are still surrounding us at the bottom of the mountain with no intention of retreating. It seems that they are fighting to the death with us. If they come up, we will be finished!"

"If you tell me, we have to retreat! Leave the green hills behind and don't worry about running out of firewood. Rush out and find another hilltop to start again."

Their conversation was interrupted by another person, who scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about?! If it hadn't been for the leader, the stronghold would have been breached today, and everyone would have died!"

What you can see cannot be seen by the leader? Do you really think it's that easy to rush out? Do you know how many people will die? ! "

Another person was dissatisfied: "Aren't people dying every day now?! Our village is so hidden, I don't know how these court dogs found it. It's really weird!"

"I see, the leader just doesn't want to hand over his power, so he wants us to bury him with his kingdom!"

"I don't want to kill you?! Shut up!!"

There was a commotion among the crowd, and then someone said: "Didn't the leader say that everyone in the village will attend a party tomorrow to bury their dead brothers? This can be regarded as giving them an explanation..."

"Bah! It's just superficial! Why don't we work for him?"

……

The sound of the conversation gradually faded away, and Su Qing closed her eyes in silence.

……

Zhang Cong'er was sleeping deeply when she suddenly felt someone calling her softly.

Zhang Cong'er opened her eyes and saw Su Qing squatting in front of her.

Zhang Cong'er was a little confused and said: "Young Master?"

Su Qing put her index finger on her lips to silence, and Zhang Cong'er quickly shut her mouth.

Su Qing stood up silently. At this moment, there were no bandits guarding the dungeon. Su Qing took out the cell key that Sun Si had left for him from his arms and opened the dungeon door.

Zhang Cong'er covered her mouth with both hands to prevent herself from screaming. How could the young master have the key to the cell door? !

Su Qing waved to Zhang Cong'er and told her to follow, and Zhang Cong'er quickly followed. She had been hungry for almost three days and her steps were a little sloppy.

When they were approaching the exit, Su Qing asked Zhang Cong'er to wait, and then he quietly looked outside through the crack in the door. It was still dark at this time, and there was still little time before dawn.

There was only one bandit outside the dungeon, and at this time he was leaning against the door and soundly asleep, completely unaware of the movement in the dungeon.

Zhang Cong'er was so scared that her heart almost jumped out of her chest, fearing that the man would wake up midway.

Su Qing licked her chapped lips and tightly held the chopsticks she had picked up when passing by the dining table she was guarding.

His eyes were terribly bright, and his body was tense as if he could launch an attack at any moment. From Zhang Cong'er's angle, you can see Su Qing's tense jaw.

Suddenly, in Zhang Cong'er's shocked eyes, Su Qing moved. He stretched out a hand and used very light force to open the wooden door of the dungeon bit by bit. When the crack in the door could allow a person to enter or exit, he suddenly ducked out.

Su Qing was like a hungry leopard, holding down the bandit's neck. Before he could react, the chopsticks that had been held in Su Qing's hand had penetrated him. temple!

The bandit didn't say a word and died on the spot.

Su Qing took off the bandit's clothes, confiscated the weapons he carried, then dragged the bandit into the dungeon and threw him in, erasing all traces.

Then, Su Qing handed the clothes in her hand to Zhang Cong'er: "Put on this."

Zhang Cong'er looked at her own dress, took it directly without any pretense, and put on the bandit's clothes in the dungeon.

Su Qing was guarding the door the whole time, with her back to Zhang Cong'er.

After Zhang Cong'er changed clothes, Su Qing handed the long knife to Zhang Cong'er, along with the key to the cell door.

"Take these and find a hidden place to hide without being discovered."

Zhang Cong'er took it in his hand, then looked at Su Qing with some doubts and said: "Master, won't you come with me?"

Su Qing shook his head in silence. Officers and soldiers were surrounding at the foot of the mountain. Bandits were everywhere in the village. Even if they escaped from the dungeon, they would not be able to escape under the eyes of so many people...

Unless, kill all the bandits.

Su Qing took Zhang Cong'er to escape the bandits bit by bit, and then placed her in a hidden place.

"Stay here, don't be discovered, until I come to find you..." Su Qing said.

Zhang Cong'er held a long knife in her arms, looked up at Su Qing and said, "Master, where are you going?"

Su Qing said: "I'm going to do something."

"If you are unfortunately discovered by someone, you can run away if you can; if you can't run, just tell them that I am in the southeast. I forced you to do all this..."

After saying that, Su Qing turned around and left.

But someone grabbed the corner of his clothes. Su Qing turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Cong'er looked at him and said word by word: "Master, you will definitely come back to pick me up, right?"

Su Qing was silent for a moment, and then said: "As long as I am still alive..."

After that, if Su Qing didn't stay any longer, he immediately turned around and ran away in one direction at high speed.

That direction is, southeast.

Zhang Cong'er's eyes chased Su Qing's back until he could no longer see her.
