The recruits could not imagine how Lu Qing had killed Shi Hu. They had all heard of Shi Hu's martial arts. He was a godly person that would be tortured to death by a few moves of his own, and only Commandant Yu would be able to fight him to the death.

Xue Yan and a few veterans, however, knew why Lu Qing could kill Shi Hu. No one wanted to say a word.

Just as they were about to reach the city and finally took a rest next to a village, Xue Yan once again strictly ordered all his subordinates not to reveal a single word about them encountering the army of Liu Han and how Lu Qing had killed Shi Hu.

The widows did not know the truth, but the soldiers treated Lu Qing with respect they had never seen before.

Lu Qing finally had a chance to clean her body. To Lu Qing's surprise, Xue Yan took the opportunity to bring her a bucket of hot water.

They even set up a temporary bathroom for Lu Qing with their only tent.

Lu Qing looked at Xue Yan with a puzzled expression. Xue Yan said, "This is what you deserve."

Xue Yan was right. If they were in the military, Lu Qing would have made a huge contribution. To be promoted to the third rank, even being promoted would be considered a light feat.

Unfortunately, she was only a widow, so he had to do his best to help her.

After the cleaning and changing into a clean cotton garment, Lu Qing felt refreshed. She even grabbed Han Shuo and washed him.

When she walked out of the tent, a group of soldiers looked at her with a different expression.

Very good. The brightness has increased.

However, what Lu Qing didn't know was that after she put down the burden in her heart and calmly accepted everything, her temperament had also changed quite a bit. The anger she felt had disappeared, and she was now radiating confidence and calm.

Coupled with Lu Qing's face.

After coughing uncomfortably twice, Xue Yan brought Lu Qing some steamed cakes that he bought from the village along with steaming hot mutton soup.

Lu Qing smelled that smell the moment she left the tent. Her stomach rumbled for a while before she quickly took it over and ate it heartily with Han Shuo.

The girl called Xiu-Er smacked her lips and Han Shuo called her over. He stuffed a cake and gave her a small bowl of meat.

The mutton soup was quite good. Lu Qing shared another bowl and asked Han Shuo to serve it to Soong Lan. She hadn't eaten well in the past two days and heard that she ran out of milk.

After resting in this village for a day, Xue Yan brought them into the Martial Aunt Zang City.

Xue Yan was a widow who had been recruited under the orders of the former Qin Prefecture's Ci Shi Shi. Naturally, he could go to the relay station to rest. After settling everyone down, Xue Yan took Yang Jin with him to find out more news.

They were divided into five squads that were sent to the countryside. Along the way, they met only one squadron that was slaughtered by Shi Hu's army. They didn't know where the rest of them were or if they were still alive.

Lu Qing and the others were strictly ordered to stay at the relay station and not to leave.

Although the food at the relay station was pretty good, Lu Qing still couldn't sit still.

As they walked through the city, Lu Qing noticed that the shops, houses, and even the residents were very different from the ones she saw on TV. She wanted to go out and have a look.

Damn Xue Yan!

He was very satisfied with the delicacies at the relay station, because Xue Yan had specially bought a big bag of dessert from the outside. Although it was a little rough, for Han Shuo, who had never eaten anything good since he was young, it was simply delicious.

Lu Qing's heart ached a little when she saw Han Shuo smashing his fingers.

She had five hundred gold coins, so she could still buy some things. She had to convince Xue Yan to let her go out and shop, even if it would be good to buy some clothes.

When Xue Yan returned that day, he agreed to Lu Qing's suggestion. However, the premise was that he would accompany her there.
