Unable to dissuade Huarong, Niu Dazhuang finally set off immediately.
After he left, Huarong went out every day to gather information. She didn't look for Zhang Yingying or Niu Dazhuang's friends. She was waiting, waiting for an opportunity.
Nothing changed except that the person who accompanied Huarong to gather information changed from Niu Dazhuang to Buttface.
After a long time, Buttface was also curious. He pondered for a long time and prepared himself mentally for half a month before he mustered up the courage to ask Huarong, "Young Master, you're strolling on the streets every day. You don't buy anything, and you don't do anything. What exactly are you strolling on the streets for?"
Huarong looked up at the gloomy sky. It was going to rain again.
The autumn rain was cold and long, as if it was telling of endless sorrow. Huarong couldn't help but feel sad. She imagined Gu Changheng's torturous days trapped in the house and shivered. This was probably the longest time Brother Six had stayed in the house.
Gu Changheng, who was restrained and restless, had lost three sizes of weight, had dark circles under his eyes, and his lips were white. He looked weak because he hadn't seen the sun for a long time. He sneezed fiercely. He wiped the mucus that was flowing out of his nose and said, "It must be Anin's heartless guessing my miserable appearance!"
No one knew a sister better than a brother. Huarong imagined Gu Changheng's miserable appearance and laughed heartlessly.
"Giddyup, giddyup, giddyup." A familiar sound came from afar. It was the messenger sent by the Prince Of Qi to send news of victory. Huarong was not far from the Songyang County office. She walked over after the messenger posted the news of the battle on the bulletin board.
"The Prince Of Qi went straight to Taizhou to take Liao City." Huarong put away his conjecture about Brother Six's bad intentions and frowned slightly. It seemed that the Prince Of Qi was already prepared. In less than a month, he had already attacked Liao City. Liao City was one of the natural barriers of the Capital City. If Liao City could not be defended, the world would change hands.
Huarong exhaled heavily. He hoped that it would come sooner!
Perhaps she had the potential to jinx things. Just as she was thinking this, someone shouted from the top of the city gate, "Li Rong is invading! Li Rong is here! "
In an instant, the small county that was in a state of panic exploded. What was Li Rong? They knew better than anyone else that Li Rong was a devil who killed without batting an eyelid. As long as the city gate was breached, the first thing Li Rong's army would do when they rushed in would be to burn, kill, and loot. He wouldn't even spare a child.
"My lord, my lord, let's go!" Buttface grabbed Huarong's hand and ran toward the house.
Huarong was caught off guard by Buttface, but he quickly broke free from Buttface's grasp and shouted, "Where are we going?"
"Home!" Buttface said anxiously. His skinny face was so anxious that it looked ferocious. Other than fear, there was also a strong hatred in his eyes, but fear was the absolute dominant factor.
Huarong ignored him and looked at the people coming and going around. There were women, children, old people, and young people. Their faces were filled with fear, grief, and hatred.
Of all the emotions, there was too much fear, so much so that it was shocking. It turned out that the people in the border areas were so afraid of Li Rong?
People would not be afraid for no reason. They would only be afraid when they were beaten.
"His Highness the Prince Of Qi is leading the army to the Capital to clean up the Emperor. Who will protect us? Why should we go home? The most important thing now is to find the army to protect us. "
Her voice was very loud, and the people around her heard it. They felt that it was very reasonable, so they all said, "Yes, yes, yes, to the Capital City."
In the panic, as long as one person took the lead, the chain of events would develop. Soon, all the people in the city would pack up and escape Songyang County.
Huarong stood by the street and watched for a long time. When the defenders of Songyang County could no longer hold on, she shouted, "Everyone, don't run blindly. Without money, you can only be beggars in Jinling. The county government has money, and we handed it over. It's okay to take it back!"
Buttface was so scared that he almost fainted. "Young master, you, you, you, you …"
He stuttered for a long time without saying anything. Huarong had already begun to bewitch the people and lead them to the county government.
The small border county was really small. The street was not long, and the county government was breached in half an hour. There were not many bailiffs in the county government, and the people who broke into the government were their neighbors. How could they bear to kill them?
Huarong hid in the crowd and rushed to the county government. It did not take long for her to find Gu Changheng. Other than being restricted from leaving his room, he was eating and drinking. No one beat or scolded him, so he did not suffer much.
"Brother Seven, let's go." She quietly pulled Gu Changheng's hand.
Gu Changheng was scared out of his wits. He only reacted when Huarong dragged him out of the county government. "You actually instigated the people to attack the county government. Gu Huarong, how dare you?"
"Why did you talk so much nonsense when I saved you? If I knew it would be a thankless task, I would have gone home myself and left you to fend for yourself. " Huarong's mouth was unforgiving, but her hands were very warm. She handed over a few pastries that she had bought before the chaos. They were Gu Changheng's favorite osmanthus cake.
Gu Changheng stuffed the osmanthus cake into his mouth carelessly and asked in a muffled voice, "What do we do next?"
"Brother Gu, we've finally escaped. We can be considered friends in adversity. When the time comes, we must go to Jinling and ask for a drink."
As the brother and sister looked around, a fat and greasy middle-aged man suddenly interjected between the two of them. The middle-aged man was very good at Su Duan. Huarong looked at him and silently commented that he was a rich man.
It was just that … Gu Changheng was too embarrassed. They were both locked up. Other than being a little thin, he was not as embarrassed as Su Duan.
Gu Changheng smiled and cupped his hands. "Well said, well said."
"Since I've escaped, I'll take my leave. See you again."
"See you again."
After watching the fat middle-aged man disappear into the crowd, Huarong and Gu Changheng looked at each other and followed the crowd out.
"Crown Prince, someone deliberately led the people to cause trouble. The county government has been breached and looted." In a deep and secluded house, the four sides of the courtyard were filled with soldiers. It was heavily guarded. It was definitely not a place for ordinary people.
Zhenguo Gong, the Crown Prince, was originally looking at a map. When he heard the news, he threw down the wooden stick in his hand and asked, "Did you catch the person?"
"We're catching him."
Huarong and his sister squeezed in the crowd. Just as they were about to reach the city gate, many soldiers suddenly appeared out of nowhere. These soldiers were different from the ones they saw before. They were well-equipped and stood in a neat row. They exuded a murderous aura, which made people feel afraid at first glance.
"It's him. He's the one who asked us to go to the county government to get the money." Someone was afraid of being caught and immediately betrayed Huarong without any moral integrity. He pointed at her and shouted.
Originally, there were many people squeezing around Huarong and it was difficult for her to move. However, when she was pointed out, the surroundings suddenly became empty. Everyone was three meters away from her.
In an instant, the originally crowded long street became empty. Only she and Gu Changheng were left. Huarong was still maintaining the wretched posture of a cat trying to escape.
Seeing that the surroundings were empty, Huarong squeezed out a smile that she thought was awkward but not impolite. "Hello."
"Take her away!" The soldiers did not care about the rule of not hitting a smiling person. They mercilessly let someone take Huarong away.
She saw that the strong hand that she could not break free from was about to put on her shoulder. Suddenly, a dazzling white light flashed. The soldier took a few steps back. Huarong's whole body was light. She left the place and flew lightly on the roof.
