Exile at the start? Milkball filming, hoarding billions of resources

After being severely reprimanded, Xiaoman found it difficult to move her legs.

Seeing this, Qin Su had no choice but to carry Xiao Man on her back, which meant she could no longer hold Shen Zhaoning.

Unable to carry Shen Zhaoning in his arms, Shen Yu carried her on his back and continued forward.

Shen Zhaoning leaned against her brother's thin back and bit her lip nervously.

"Brother, let me down."

The dark cave was like an endless abyss.

The dangers lurking within are immeasurable.

Shen Yu shook his head; of course he wouldn't agree to let Shen Zhaoning walk down by herself.

"Don't worry, your brother can carry you."

"You're as light as a kitten. Even if I carry you on my back the whole time, I won't feel tired."

Shen Yu was not lying.

The journey to exile was so arduous that Shen Zhaoning had become skin and bones, and had only recently gained some weight back.

Even so, it was so light that it felt like it weighed almost nothing.

Not wanting her brother to worry, Shen Zhaoning quietly nestled on his back while simultaneously maneuvering her toy car to lead the way.

The toy car hadn't gone far when a stone door suddenly closed in front of them.

The group looked at each other, none of them knowing what had happened inside the door.

Looking at the massive stone gate before her, Qin Su couldn't help but feel fortunate.

"Thank goodness for this amazing device, otherwise we might be the ones trapped inside."

Shen Zhaoning stared intently at the stone gate in front of her and asked in a childish voice.

"Is it broken again?"

Xiaoman scoffed dismissively.

"Bad guys are really bad guys; everything they make breaks easily. The door closed before we even went in."

It took everyone a long time to study the stone door before they finally opened it. As soon as they opened the door, they smelled a pungent odor.

Qin Su shouted loudly.

"Everyone, cover your mouths and noses and be careful."

Knowing that the stone gate would close after someone entered, Qin Su specially had two thick wooden poles brought in to support the stone gate.

As soon as they entered, poison was sprayed from both sides, and everyone was prepared and quickly held their breath.

Shen Zhaoning also successfully found her toy car.

After passing through several checkpoints, everyone finally entered the interior of the cave.

Looking at the scene before them, everyone felt an indescribable shock.

The seemingly ordinary cave was actually filled with armor and weapons, which gleamed coldly under the bright flashlight.

The grain that the bandits had stolen was piled up haphazardly in a corner.

"These... these bandits... could they really be the private army kept by some noble person?"

"We've gotten ourselves into big trouble."

Sun Er looked at the scene before him, his body swaying precariously.

Before arriving here, he still harbored some illusions, thinking that things like private soldiers were just wild speculations by these people.

But when he saw these brand-new armor and weapons, his illusions were completely shattered.

Even for ordinary people to make a kitchen knife, they needed the approval of the government.

How could these bandits possibly have the ability to have so many new weapons made for them?

It would be absolutely impossible for them to do this without powerful figures backing them up!

He was just a lowly constable responsible for escorting exiled prisoners; he had no powerful connections or influence, and now his life was truly in danger.

Not only Sun Er, but everyone else also looked very grim.

Inside the small cave, three different factions found themselves facing a common dilemma and doubt after discovering the secret within.

"Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have come!"

"I'm just a convict, why would I bother fighting bandits?"

Someone in the darkness uttered a curse, though no one knew who it was.

Shen Yu put Shen Zhaoning down and walked straight to the weapons.

His expression hardened as he looked at the cold glint of the weapon.

"It's too late to say anything now that things have come to this."

"Move the grain away, and don't touch the weapons."

"Then a few people were left to clean up the cave, and they told the outside world that these bandits were blind and had run into the procession of prisoners."

"The officials were displeased, and after drinking some wine, they took the surrounding villagers up the mountain."

"But we have never been to this cave before."

"After all, we're just ordinary people; how could we possibly destroy these mechanisms?"

Sun Er clapped repeatedly.

"That's right, that's right. I, Sun Er, am just an ordinary constable. I can't even read many words. How could I possibly know how to crack any mechanisms?"

Everyone agreed, clearly thinking it was a good idea.

However, most people still looked pale.

Shen Yu's plan seemed good at first glance, but in reality it was full of loopholes.

With so many people present, it's inevitable that someone will leak the information. If someone accidentally lets it slip, everyone will die.

Everyone looked at Shen Yu, unsure whether he hadn't thought about these things or had other plans.

Shen Yu looked intently at the weapons around him without saying a word.

His fingertips brushed over the weapons, tapping them lightly as he studied their materials.

Seeing this, Qin Su went over and observed the situation together with Shen Yu.

However, the more she looked, the colder her expression became, but she didn't say anything extra.

Everyone hurried down the mountain carrying grain, afraid that if they left too late they would run into the people who kept private soldiers and lose their lives.

When Hua Zhuyue discovered that Shen Zhaoning and Xiaoman were missing, she was frantic and hurriedly led Zhu Jingxian to search the surrounding area.

Wan Zhenzhen sat motionless to the side, watching the two of them look anxious, and said with schadenfreude.

"Shen Zhaoning is very capable. She even dares to talk back to me, her aunt. She must be confident that she can sneak away."

Seeing that Wan Zhenzhen could still laugh, Hua Zhuyue was furious.

"Wan! Shut your dog mouth!"

"Tuantuan is lost, and you're not even worried, you can even laugh!"

Wan Zhenzhen didn't take it to heart.

"What can I do if I don't smile? Do you only feel happy when I cry?"

That old hag, still thinking she's the mistress of a noble household?

The Shen family is now a group of exiled criminals, while her father is the Second Grand Secretary.

When her father comes to pick her up, she can take Yingying back to the Wan family and continue living as a young lady from the capital.

The Shen family members weren't even qualified to carry her shoes.

If it weren't for the chaos on the road to exile, making her and Yingying vulnerable to being bullied, they would have stopped serving this wretched old woman long ago.

Hua Zhuyue and her companions searched for most of the night until dawn when the bandit-suppression team returned. Hua Zhuyue saw the two little dumplings in the team and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You two, you really scared me to death!"

Shen Zhaoning obediently admitted her mistake.

"I'm sorry, Grandmother, Zhaoning knows she was wrong."

The two little ones stood in a row, obediently extending their palms, looking like they knew they had done something wrong.

In reality, Hua Zhuyue didn't see any remorse on either of their faces.

Hua Zhuyue was so angry that her vision went black.

Zhu Jingxian hurriedly stepped forward to support Hua Zhuyue.

"Mother, don't be angry. The children are still young, and it's normal for them to be naughty sometimes."

"It's a blessing that nothing happened; we should be happy."
