The officials were still ashamed, and Yan Ruyu looked at Lady Rong.

"If you want to use these people to negotiate terms, it won't work," Yan Ruyu said firmly, "They are not worth the price, and I don't recognize them. One hundred thousand taels, ha!"

A short laugh hit everyone's heart like a punch.

Not worth it, they’re not worth it…

Lady Rong was angry and shocked. This was the last bargaining chip in her hand, but now Yan Ruyu said it was worthless. What should she do?

Anger was like fire, and Madam Rong's eyes were burning red with anger.

"Princess, you don't care about them?" Lady Rong still wanted to make a last-ditch effort, "If Youcheng loses them..."

"Without them, things will continue as usual," Yan Ruyu said calmly, "What is the Military and Horse Department? Without him, the yamen will still be open? There is no chief and deputy, and there is no deputy at the top."

"Besides, this is a matter for the imperial court, the governor and the city protector. What does it have to do with this princess?"

Lady Rong finished her sentence and was absolutely furious.

The officials also turned pale and stared straight-eyed.

This... are they so useless?

"Princess, Princess, help me, I don't want to die!"

"I don't want to die either, Princess, please save us!"

Yan Ruyu cursed in her heart, these idiots don't know how they became officials.

"If you don't save it, we are serving officials, how can it be so easy to fix it? When the court blames you, there is no airtight wall in the world, and you will not be able to escape the blame!"

"Is this a threat?" Yan Ruyu sneered, "You yourself have done such a shameless thing, and how dare you threaten this princess?"

"Why does the court blame this princess? For what crime?"

"You don't want to save me!"

"I have never been here before, how can I not save you?" Yan Ruyu held up her bow and arrow, her voice still laughing, "You and the evil leader are killing each other, what does this have to do with me?"

Yan Ruyu tilted her head and asked Xiang Guang, "Have you been here?"

Xiang Guang shook his head firmly: "Never."

Ma Liyu said: "I'm sleeping tonight and haven't gone anywhere."

Yan Ruyu smiled lightly: "Look."

Officials: "..."

Lady Rong: "..."

What should we do?

Yan Ruyu turned to look at the sun: "Today is a good weather. After a long night of hard work, I am tired of this. Let's wrap up. Whoever is more lucky will live. Whoever deserves to lose his life will pay for his own mistakes."

"After all, if I had slept at home tonight, I wouldn't have died here."

The timid officials were so frightened that they cried, looking at Yan Ruyu with a sad expression.

"Princess Zhennan, you are so cruel!" Someone shouted, "If I get to the underworld, I will definitely..."

Before he finished speaking, a white-feathered arrow shot from the sky, piercing the air fiercely and reaching his shoulder.

The arrow came very fast and fiercely, and the huge inertia carried him forward, staggering a few steps and falling to the ground.

The sound of horse hooves followed.

Everyone turned to look, and saw a man riding a horse in the early morning sunshine.

The tall black horse under his crotch has a satin-like black mane and strong limbs, splashing on the remaining snow.

He was wearing black attire and a large cloak embroidered with silver fox fur of the same color. The clothes were hanging behind him, and he was holding a large purple wood bow in his hand.

Everyone's eyes moved to his face. He had straight black eyebrows and sharp eyes. There seemed to be swords and swords in his eyes. With just one glance, people could breathe calmly and not dare to make mistakes.

The King of Zhennan, Huo Changhe.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Huo Changhe came closer and reined in the horse with one hand. The horse's hooves soared into the air, then fell back down, almost landing on the side of the fallen man.

The man was embarrassed and wanted to stand up, but the white feather arrow on his shoulder almost penetrated his shoulder, and the pain was so painful that he could hardly support it.

Huo Changhe was condescending and sneered: "You have done something stupid and you still want to curse the princess? I didn't kill you with this arrow, I just want you to listen with your own ears. Even if you go to the Palace of Hell, you can only reach the 18th floor. Suffer in hell!"

"If you are an official and don't care about the people, you serve in the army and don't care about the country, you covet women, you indulge in pleasure, and you blame others when you are about to die, you deserve to live!"

Huo Changhe fell silent and reached out to pull out the white feather arrow on his shoulder.

This is his special white feather arrow. The tip of the arrow is extremely sharp and there are barbs on both sides. Pulling it out like this is simply fatal.

The man screamed, Huo Changhe flicked his hand, pointed the tip of the arrow at the side of his neck and swung it down. The blood spread and his screams stopped.

The surrounding wind noise stopped, the officials pursed their lips, tensed up, and their breathing was slightly suffocated.

Huo Changhe urged his horse to get close to Yan Ruyu, turned over and dismounted.

"The princess is frightened."

The corner of Yan Ruyu's mouth curled up slightly: "Why is the prince here? Have the affairs in the city been settled?"

"Well, the fire has been extinguished, and the surrounding people have been evacuated quickly. There are no casualties. The houses are just a little burned, but it doesn't matter. Governor Cao has found a place to house them. The government will pay for them later to build houses for them."

Yan Ruyu said: "I still have some spare money here. When I go back, I can donate it in the name of the palace, which will be considered as a small contribution."

"Okay, just follow the princess."

These words were like stabbing a knife into Lady Rong's heart.

The Furong Pavilion was destroyed, and it originally belonged to her.

The manor was also destroyed, and it was also hers.

Although the houses around Furong Pavilion were burned down, there were no casualties and the houses could be rebuilt. Yan Ruyu also said that she had "spare money" there.

Where did she get the spare money? Not the ones we just took away from the rockery!

Yan Ruyu told her deliberately.

After that, he turned to look at her: "What other chips are there? Why not show them all together? It's late and I'm tired."

Lady Rong: "..."

Where else does she have it?

all here.

Lady Rong gritted her teeth and took two steps back: "In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless. Sirs, don't blame me after you die."

She waved her hand: "Kill them!"

As soon as the words fell, those men immediately pushed the officials out, killing them and retreating.

No one doesn’t want to live, and no one is willing to die.

The scene was in chaos, and Mrs. Rong took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other.

Xiang Guang raised his knife and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my subordinates are going to arrest you!"

Huo Changhe whispered: "Build more momentum, don't arrest her, let her go."

Xiang Guang was stunned for a moment, then understood: "Yes."

Xiang Guang led a team of people to catch her, and Huo Changhe whispered in Yan Ruyu's ear: "The secret guard is already waiting outside, just wait for her to run out."

"She was desperate. She should have gone to find Mr. Mo if she ran away. I hope she can find Mr. Mo's hiding place this time."

Yan Ruyu nodded. She was angry when she came out of Furong Pavilion. Until now, when she saw Huo Changhe, she finally felt better.

Huo Changhe held her hand tightly and smiled sullenly: "How did the princess promise me last time?"

Yan Ruyu blinked: "I promise you, Your Majesty, that I will never run around privately again, or put myself in danger without Your Majesty's consent."

"So this time?" Huo Changhe didn't want to let it go lightly.

God knows he was rushing all the way and his heart was going to beat out of his chest.

"This time?" Yan Ruyu looked confused, "I left a note for the prince."

Huo Changhe: "??"

Yan Ruyu touched him and took out a note folded to the size of a fingernail from the side of his belt.

Huo Changhe simply laughed angrily.
