Du Zhongshu was stunned and quickly realized that with the current situation of the Du family, there was no threat to Bai Ruozhu at all. Did she need to lie to him?

He opened his mouth, finally took the toothpaste and left angrily.

Zuo Hongyun took over the toothpaste shop and naturally knew about Bai Ruozhu and the Du family. He asked with some worry: "Master, is the Du family doing something behind the scenes?"

If it were in the past, Bai Ruozhu might have said no, but now she dare not make such a guarantee. In order to revive the family, Du Zhongshu even ignored the integrity of business and cut corners in the toothpaste, so there is nothing he can't do. Woolen cloth?

"I will send someone to keep an eye on it. You should also pay more attention in the shop and report to me in time if there is any situation." Bai Ruozhu explained and left. He went back to talk to Cui Fan and arranged for a few people to keep an eye on the Du family secretly. The situation over there.

On the way back, Bai Ruozhu saw some soldiers disguised as common people. She had an impression of the faces of those who had been to Jiangnan. It seemed that there were more soldiers disguised as entering the city.

Bai Ruozhu went back and spoke quietly to her second brother. Bai Zepei frowned and whispered, "I'm afraid a bloody storm is coming, so I've told my family not to go out easily recently."

In the next two days, everything seemed to be calm, but this calm was like the calm before the storm, which made Bai Ruozhu even more nervous. There was no news about Lin Zhenghui or Jiang Yichun. One went to the south and the other to Xuantian Mountain in the northwest, but no news came back.

That night, Bai Ruozhu went to bed early, but he didn't know that the Wu family in the city discovered a tragic fight.

Wu Lie went to the northwest camp. Mrs. Wu had a cousin who was about to give birth, and she happened to go over to help. The Wu family only had Wu Ying, Wu Bai and some servants and guards at home. The group of people fell from the sky, targeting Wu Ying and Wu Bai. They soon started fighting with the Wu family. They attacked fiercely. If anyone stopped them, they immediately killed them. Almost In the blink of an eye, by the time Wu Ying and Wu Bai realized something was wrong, nearly half of the Wu family's guards were already dead.

"Brother, something happened. Those people are coming for us. Get ready quickly. We may have to find a way to escape." Wu Ying rushed into her brother's room and woke up Wu Bai who was sleeping.

Wu Bai then heard the sound of fighting and said excitedly: "Where can we escape? Why not go out and fight with them!"

Wu Ying's eyes were red, and her voice was choked as she said: "What time has it been? Don't be ridiculous. Nearly half of the guards are dead. We will die even if we fight!"

Suddenly a voice came from outside: "Mr. Wu, Miss Wu, you just surrender. My master just invites you to stay for a few days. As long as you cooperate well, these guards will not have to die."

Wu Bai glared, "It must be King Duan's people who want to arrest us so they can blackmail dad."

The housekeeper rushed in and said anxiously: "Sir, miss, we can't stand it any longer. You should run away quickly and leave us alone."

"No, they will kill you!" Wu Bai said anxiously.

The housekeeper pushed Wu Bai anxiously and said, "If you escape, they may chase you out so they won't kill the guards. I'll go ask for help and I will find a way to prevent them from catching you."

After the old housekeeper said that, he turned around and left. Wu Ying chased after him and asked, "Who are you asking for help?"

The old housekeeper did not answer. He was afraid that the young master and the young lady would not agree if he told the truth.

Wu Ying and Wu Bai glanced at each other, neither daring to delay any longer. They carefully got out of the house, bypassed the fighting crowd, and jumped out.

Screams kept coming from behind. Wu Ying and Wu Bai's faces were already wet with tears. Those guards often practiced with them. Even if they were masters and servants, they were just like friends. Now look at them one by one. The two brothers and sisters were heartbroken and wanted to rush back to save them.

But they cannot be caught. Once they are caught, their parents will definitely bow to Prince Duan for them. Then the Wu clan will be finished, and even Beiyu City will be in huge risk.

Even though they understood the truth, neither of them could get over the hurdle in their hearts. They ran away with tears streaming down their faces...

Bai Ruozhu was woken up by Jian Qi calling outside the door in her sleep. She was startled and asked hurriedly: "Did something big happen in the city?"

Jian Qi hurriedly explained outside the house: "No, it was the steward of the Wu family who came to ask for help. He said that King Duan sent people to arrest the Wu family brothers and sisters and killed many of the Wu family's guards."

Bai Ruozhu jumped out of bed and suddenly woke up. She hurriedly put on her coat and went out, asking: "How are Wu Ying and the others?"

"They say they should escape, but there are a lot of pursuers. There may be others chasing them. We need to support them," Jian Qi said.

Bai Ruozhu called Mammy Zhang and looked at Xiao Dengdeng. She quickly told Jian Qi: "I'll take someone with me to pick them up. Will they come to me for help? Most likely they are heading towards the city gate. I want to At dawn the city gate opens and we head to the northwest camp."

"Master, you'd better not go." Jian Qi said with some worry.

"It doesn't matter, I have a way to protect myself." Bai Ruozhu continued without further explanation, "Send people to the Meng Mansion and the Northwest Camp to ask for help. We must not let King Duan's people capture them!"

Jian Qi immediately went to make arrangements. Bai Ruozhu took the horse and took Mu Yu out, leaving Chen Feng to continue to guard the Bai family yard.

Everyone ran towards the city gate, but there was no trace of Wu Ying's brother and sister along the way. It was still dark before dawn, and the city gate was still closed. Bai Ruozhu led people around, and she even called Wu Ying's name in a low voice, but she still remained No trace of the two men was found.

Bai Ruozhu's heart sank. Could it be that they had been caught?

At this moment, a secret guard came galloping over on horseback, "Master, there is the sound of fighting over there on West Street."

Bai Ruozhu's eyes lit up, "Go and have a look!"

Her equestrian skills were average, so the secret guards arrived before her. From a distance, she saw someone being surrounded by a group of people, and from time to time she could hear the sound of a woman shouting. Sure enough, they were the Wu Ying brothers and sisters!

The secret guard rushed over and quickly helped Wu Ying brother and sister reverse the situation, but soon another pursuer arrived. Bai Ruozhu's side was obviously out of manpower. Bai Ruozhu hurriedly pulled Wu Ying onto the horse, and Jian Qi took Wu Bai. Breaking out of the encirclement.

"Master, why don't we go to the Meng Mansion?" Jian Qi asked.

Bai Ruozhu's face darkened, "No, reinforcements from Meng Mansion have not shown up yet, I'm afraid..."

Bai Ruozhu didn't dare to think about it anymore. I was afraid that the weather in Beiyu City would change tomorrow morning, otherwise King Duan would not take action tonight.
