The sound of crossed swords echoed through the bamboo forest.

Immediately afterwards, a series of muffled sounds pierced the sky, and the opponent's sword strikes were fatal.

The guards were not to be outdone and fought back with their swords.

At this critical moment, a group of people suddenly emerged from the bamboo forest and fiercely attacked the soldiers.

At first the guards thought that the person was coming to attack them, but they never imagined that it was one of their own.

The people who came were all dressed in black, holding swords, and there were flashes of swords, but each sword was just right so as not to hurt the opponent's vital points.

After a fight, the opponent was defeated.

The county magistrate trembled behind a tree, seeing that the situation was in his favor.

He shouted, "Quick, catch him alive."

After hearing this, the guards hurriedly subdued the soldiers who were stabbed.

At this time, Lu Shiwan walked out of the woods. The girl was wearing a purple dress, which was particularly eye-catching in the bamboo forest.

When the county magistrate saw her, he hurriedly ran behind her, acting like a younger brother.

The men in black immediately checked whether there was poison in their mouths.

To Hou Gui in front of Lu Shiwan, "Palace Master, you are not a dead man."

Lu Shiwan nodded lightly, "Well, let's all go back."

"Yes."

The county magistrate was already shocked.

Lu Shiwan looks so weak, but he is actually the Palace Master.

These people were so respectful to her that she couldn't help but look at her differently.

"Don't be shocked, magistrate. I said I am from the underworld. If you can't make the decision for the Gu family villagers, I will definitely find a way to inform the emperor."

At this moment, the county magistrate had already understood that what Lu Shiwan said was true.

He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your help, young lady. I will never tolerate this matter!"

"Very good." She looked around the place and said, "Go into the manor in front. There is a surprise for you."

The county magistrate was puzzled, and then said to the guard, "Did you hear that? Go quickly."

"Yes."

The guard walked forward and the village chief followed closely.

Zhuangzi is not big, it is just a courtyard.

The yard is full of things needed for training.

Zi Yue first went to inspect the house, leaving no corner unchecked.

Finally, they found a locked house.

"Miss, new discovery."

Xian Wei stood in front of the county magistrate, his heart beating in his throat.

When the lock on the door was broken, the county lieutenant closed his eyes.

"Oh my God, there are... a group of children locked up here?" The guard ran in and carried out a child covered in wounds.

Only at this moment did the county magistrate realize how big a mistake he had made.

The oldest of these children is no more than ten years old, and the younger ones... some of them can't even walk.

All of them lay dying.

Lu Shiwan walked in and checked them, and found that their pulses were weak.

While the county magistrate was not paying attention, Lu Shiwan secretly took out spiritual spring water from the space and fed it to them.

When he walked out, Lu Shiwan looked very heavy.

"The county magistrate is doing a great job. He didn't even notice the loophole right under his nose."

"If it weren't for my kindness, the world would be in chaos, right?"

The county magistrate was extremely terrified at this moment. The girl in front of him seemed to really know the emperor.

He must be someone important to be able to call on so many people to help him.

If the emperor gave him a reason why he was not competent, he would probably have to pack up and leave.

He immediately said to a guard behind him, "Go to my house, inform my wife, and prepare some money to comfort the families of these children."

"As for those who died in vain, take more."

The guard bowed and said, "Yes, sir."

"You, take all these children to Gujia Village, and then go to the county town to ask for a doctor immediately."

"Yes, my lord."

Soon, everyone started their respective tasks one by one.

The village chief had great respect for Lu Shiwan, but he didn't expect that the girl he met on the way was actually a person from the underworld with a prominent background.

Even Li Zhong had changed his opinion of Lu Shiwan at this moment.

He walked up to Lu Shiwan and bowed, saying, "Thank you, young lady... for your help. The villagers of Gu's family will never forget it."

"I sincerely apologize to the girl for what happened before."

"sorry."

Lu Shiwan glanced at him calmly, and the corners of her lips curled slightly under her veil, "I heard that you are the only scholar in this village?"

"Yes."

"But Tongsheng?"

"Reply girl, I have passed the examination and became a scholar."

"So, you have passed the entrance exam?"

"Exactly."

Lu Shiwan took out a bag of silver from his waist.

"The silver here is enough for you to use for three years. August of the third year will be the autumn examination. If you can pass the provincial examination, I will forgive you."

Li Zhong was a little surprised.

Why did Lu Shiwan help him?

"If you don't have confidence, you can admit that you can't do it. I won't make it difficult for you. I can forgive you now."

Li Zhong immediately said, "Who said that? I will definitely pass the exam in three years!"

"Okay." Lu Shiwan looked at him with appreciation.

Everyone walked down the hill one by one, and there happened to be a shed in the open space, so the children were arranged to stay in the shed.

Villagers who had lost their children nearby rushed over upon hearing the noise.

One by one they cried and recognized their children, and for a while the shed was filled with cries of grief.

"My child, my child..."

"Wow, why isn't my child here?"

"Where is the child?"

"child……"

The county magistrate was standing nearby, feeling extremely heavy-hearted.

He choked up and said, "Madam... there are... quite a few children in the other shed. Would you like to go and take a look?"

After hearing this, the women who couldn't find their children wiped their tearful eyes and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay."

Lu Shiwan was also in a heavy mood.

This time she went to Lingnan to find Mo Qitian.

She never thought she would encounter such a thing on the road, but she saved him invisibly.

Is it destined or just a coincidence?

Erben originally wanted to weaken the power of the Second Prince, but because of the people he casually rescued, he gained.

"Do not--"

"my child--"

From another shed, there were sounds of women crying, and Lu Shiwan closed his eyes.

A crystal teardrop slid down from the corner of the eye.

She misses grandpa.

……

The second prince rushed from the inn in a hurry, but he didn't expect that his people had run away and the villa had been searched.

In a rage, he killed the two guards around him.

Xingyun hurriedly stopped him.

"Second Prince, don't be angry. Our people are in hiding."

"It seems that we can't stay here any longer. Let's set off for the Imperial City immediately."

Xingyun was shocked, "Second Prince, this is inappropriate. If you go to the Imperial City now, it will definitely arouse everyone's suspicion."

The second prince angrily slapped Xingyun.

"Idiot, can't you set off at night?"

"Even if I am not competent, I must injure a thousand enemies!"

"The prince secretly sent people to hunt me down. I won't let him go even if there is a glimmer of hope. If...if there is no hope, this prince will drag the prince down with him!"

His face was ferocious, and every word he spoke was filled with hatred.
