[Silently recite the URL three times. Do you remember it? If not, I will ask again in the next chapter. It would be best if you can share it on Facebook for me]

Su Qingmei lifted the curtain of the car and saw this scene.

In the car whose roof was cut off, an old man and a young boy were terrified, sad and painful. The despair was unbearable to watch.

The old man who was driving the car whipped the whip repeatedly, saying "Jia Jia..." non-stop. Half of the car was shaking and about to fall apart.

"Shoot!" Su Qingmei shouted.

"Shoot!" Liu Xiu heard it and hurriedly ordered his men to draw their bows and shoot arrows.

Su Qingmei didn't know who was a good guy and who was a bad guy, but she couldn't bear to see an old man and a young boy being hunted down like this.

After raising her son, her heart was very soft, and she couldn't bear to see the old and the young suffer.

At this critical moment, she would rather kill the wrong person than save the person. Otherwise, if they were really thieves, they would kill the old man and the young boy, and then they would turn around and kill the witnesses.

Su Qingmei didn't want any of them to make a mistake.

Liu Xiu let out an arrow, and he and Siyuan's men all drew their bows.

Thanks to the fact that the village had been guarding against mountain bandits and others coming to rob the village over the years, the village had been training the men tightly.

The fifty people who followed Ma Xin into the mountains were naturally no exception, each of them could fight a hundred, and the other people in the village were also incomparable after years of training, the weakest could fight ten. And everyone was so accurate.

The group of people who were chasing after them on horseback saw that the person was right in front of them, and they were already in the bag, and they were happy. Unexpectedly, this group of people who came out of nowhere suddenly shot arrows at them, and the arrows of the people seemed to come out of nowhere, catching them off guard.

The horses were running forward, and before they could stop and turn, they were thrown to the ground by Liu Xiu and Siyuan.

Seeing the people being shot down, Liu Xiu, Siyuan and others went forward with knives to check.

They didn't want to kill them, they just wanted to delay some time so that the people running in front could run farther. Unexpectedly, the people who fell to the ground turned over and started to fight with Siyuan and others.

And they were all killing moves. They were sinister and cruel.

Siyuan and Liu Xiu looked at each other and must not let them live. Otherwise, Su Qing'an and others would be in danger.

Both of them saw what the other meant, made a gesture to the group of men, and also used killing moves on more than 20 people. For a while, the sound of swords and knives hitting each other was extremely fierce.

Su Qing'an was worried, thinking of various plans in her mind, what to do if our side was defeated.

Before she could think of a reason, Siyuan and Liu Xiu killed all the people.

"Miss, it has been confirmed that there is no survivor." Siyuan came to report to Su Qing'an.

Su Qingmei was greatly relieved when she heard this. Ningdong and Youbai fell to the ground with their legs weak. They were so scared that they thought they would have to die here.

Xianniang, Tianshi and others were also too weak to stand.

"Go and check if there is any identity information." Su Qingmei ordered.

"Liu Shichang is taking people to check." Xiang Shang replied.

Su Qingmei nodded.

After a while, Liu Xiu walked towards her: "I have looked through them all, but I didn't find the other party's identity information, but they all had a lot of money. There are also some letters."

"Letters?" Su Qingmei was a little confused and took the things. She didn't open a few letters, but flipped through a few books, her eyes widened.

Is this... "Qunshu Zhiyao"?

Su Qingmei has heard of this book. It is said that it has been lost since the Tang Dynasty, and it has been lost for more than a thousand years.

Legend has it that it was later transferred to the east. The prosperity of the Japanese and Ben dynasties was due to this book.

It is said that this book was written when Li Shimin first ascended the throne. In order to avoid the death of the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty, he planned to learn from history and dig out wisdom from the classics of the past dynasties so as to learn from the good governance measures of the ancients to govern the country. Therefore, he ordered Wei Zheng, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang and Xiao Deyan to select the essence of state governance from the classics of ancient sages and write this "Qunshu Zhiyao".

Now, is this book in her hands?

But?

"Are there only these few books?"

"Qunshu Zhiyao" covers historical materials on state governance from the ancient Five Emperors to the Jin Dynasty, and brings together the thoughts of ancient classics and history and various schools of thought.

At that time, Wei Zheng and his people carefully selected from more than 14,000 volumes and more than 89,000 volumes of ancient books, and finally completed this condensed volume of the essence of classics and history for thousands of years.

"Qunshu Zhiyao" selected a total of 65 classics, divided into three parts: classics, history, and various schools of thought, and excerpts were made according to each classic.

Why are there only so few books?

Seeing that Su Qing'an seemed to recognize the book and liked it very much, Liu Xiu turned around and said to his subordinates: "Look for it again."

"Yes."

After a while, a group of subordinates came to report: "We have searched everywhere and searched a section further ahead, and found nothing missing."

Su Qing'an felt a little regretful and waved to Liu Xiu and others: "Bury the man."

"Yes."

After Liu Xiu and others left, Su Qing'an flipped through the books in her hand.

According to historical records, after the compilation of "Essentials of Governance from Various Books", Li Shimin was very happy and often kept the book in his hands. He also asked people to copy more than a dozen copies and give them to the crown prince and major ministers.

He said to Wei Zheng: "After reading this book, I understand how to learn from the ancient saints and kings, I am no longer confused when encountering things, and I know how to govern this country. This is all your credit."

But later, somehow it was lost.

These books in my hand are obviously only a small part of it. Su Qing'an felt a little sorry.

"Who is it?"

The guards surrounding Su Qing'an suddenly raised their swords and shouted forward, and Su Qing'an turned her head to look.

"Miss, they are back."

Su Qingyu also saw that several people who had been hunted before were back. A guard was holding a young man, and the young man was still bleeding.

The old man who was driving the carriage was supporting the old man who was in the carriage. A guard was accompanying him. The group of five people looked quite embarrassed.

Suddenly being stopped by someone, the old man driving the car hurriedly let go of the old man's arm, took a few steps quickly, and rushed to Su Qingyu.

He knelt down and begged: "Madam, I beg you good people to do it to the end and save my young master. He was hit by an arrow. We rushed to the city ahead. I'm afraid the young master won't be able to hold on anymore. I beg you."

The old man looked at his grandson who was being held by the guard. He felt sad and walked towards Su Qingyu. He could see that the woman surrounded by people was the leader of the group.

Just as he was about to kneel down to beg, he was supported by a guard on the side. He held the old man up and knelt down towards Su Qingyu: "Please, madam, please save my young master. Please save him. I am willing to do it for madam." He acted like a cow and repaid his wife for saving his life."

The old man couldn't help but shed tears: "Madam, we are not bad people, those who are chasing us are the bad people. Now my grandson and I are the only ones left in my family. The thieves still want to kill them all. If Zh'er goes, , I can’t survive either. He is all trying to save me, just to save me..."

As the old man spoke, he shed tears and beat his chest.

Seeing that he was in grief, Su Qingnao couldn't bear it and ordered Liu Xiu to come forward and help him take a look.
