Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Not many people knew that he owned this house, so Lu Siheng wondered who would deliver the letter here. Just when he was about to open it, Yue Qi strode in with a solemn expression.

"Boss, something happened."

After hearing Yue Qi's words, Lu Siheng stopped reading the letter and put it on the table, taking Yue Qi out again.

Yunling was queuing up to leave the city, and seeing that it was her turn next, suddenly a soldier galloped over on horseback.

"Urgent military situation, close the city gate quickly!"

When the soldier guarding the gate saw the token held by the visitor, he immediately stopped checking the people leaving the city and ran over to close the gate.

Seeing this situation, there was a commotion in the crowd.

"What happened to close the city gate in the daytime?"

"I'm afraid something big is going to happen. Didn't you hear that person just now said that there is an urgent military situation, and there might be a war."

"It's alarmist. This is a peaceful time. Where can we fight?"

"Looks like we won't be able to leave the city today, so let's avoid it first."

Some people began to turn back, while some merchants who were anxious to leave the city followed them to plead with the gatekeepers.

"My lord, please do me a favor and let me out. I still have business worth thousands of taels of silver waiting, and I really can't afford to delay it." The businessman in brocade clothes took out the silver and stuffed it into the guard. "You can give me this silver." Take it for tea."

The guard pushed his hand away and said, "Go, go, if you dare to stop us from doing errands again, we will carefully put you in jail."

If it had been in the past, the guard would have accepted it happily, but the situation was urgent at this moment, and he did not dare to cause trouble at this juncture.

Lao Ge turned around and asked Yunling: "Girl, what should we do?"

Yunling was equally anxious, just one step away, but looking at

The city gate was about to close slowly, and there was nothing she could do.

"Uncle Ge, let's wait aside first and see what happens."

"Okay." Lao Ge drove the carriage to the side.

At this moment, a group of people suddenly rushed over against the crowd, holding crossbows in their hands, nocking arrows well-trained, and aiming at the city gate.

With the sound of several crossbow arrows streaking through the air, the guard who was closing the city gate fell down.

"Murdered—"

Someone shouted in terror, and the people around him immediately became confused and fled for their lives in a panic.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lao Ge tightened the rope to speed up.

Yunling might as well dodge in the carriage, and after sitting firmly, she opened the curtain of the window and saw two groups of people already fighting in front of the city gate. When the long knife pierces a person's body, and then pulls it out, a person's life is gone, leaving blood all over the ground.

Yunling was frightened by such a tragic scene and quickly lowered the curtain, her heart beating like a drum.

"Girl, it's not safe in the car. Come down and hide."

Lao Ge stopped the carriage and opened the curtain.

"Okay..." Yunling's voice trembled as she helped her get out of the carriage.

Lao Ge took her to a corner to hide.

Seeing that Yunling's face turned pale with fright, Lao Ge whispered: "Don't be afraid, girl. If someone comes to kill you later, just hide behind me."

Only then did Yunling realize that he had found a wooden stick and held it in his hand at some point. The back that was blocking her front was broad and strong.

"Uncle Ge, why don't you leave first? I can't bring you any trouble. I will find an opportunity to leave the city by myself."

Lao Ge turned around with a solemn expression, "I was ordered by the eldest lady to send you out of the city. I can't leave until the matter is settled."

"Uncle Ge, you are not as simple as a coachman in the Duke's Mansion, are you?" He looked like this

But it's nothing like it.

Lao Ge's expression softened, "He's the coachman, but I followed the Duke of Guo to the battlefield before."

Yunling suddenly realized, "I see, that's disrespectful."

"I'm just a pawn, not worth mentioning."

The shouts of death at the city gate suddenly became louder, and both of them looked over.

The city gate that was about to be closed opened wide, and a group of people in armor rushed in from outside the city, with cavalry in front and infantry with weapons in their hands behind. This group of people was large, numbering in the thousands.

"This is going to be a big deal." Lao Ge whispered.

The group killed all the guards and left some people to take over the city gate while the rest headed towards the city. Their goals were clear, and everyone dodged wherever they went, but they didn't hurt too many people.

After the large troops left, the city gate regained its calm, but the number of guards was several times more than before. No one was allowed to enter or exit, and no one had the guts to get close.

Lao Ge turned around and said, "Girl, we can't leave today. Why don't we stay at an inn first and wait until the city gate opens before leaving."

Yunling nodded, "This is the only way to go."

Lao Ge drove his carriage to the inn closest to the city gate.

Just after the turmoil just now, the restaurants, inns, shops, etc. in the city have closed their doors.

Yunling got off the car, went over and knocked on the door of the inn.

The door was opened a crack, and a man dressed as a waiter was hiding behind the door. He lowered his guard when he saw Yunling, a girl, and Lao Ge, who looked honest.

"You go elsewhere, we don't accept guests here anymore."

"Please be accommodating. We will leave as soon as the city gate opens." Yunling took out a silver coin from her body, "I can pay double the amount."

伙计

Seeing Yinzi, he opened the door after a moment of silence, "Come in."

"Thank you." Yunling and Lao Ge entered the inn.

The guy took them to the room upstairs.

Lao Ge did not enter the room, but said to Yun Ling: "Girl, rest for now. I will go and set up the carriage and inquire about the situation."

Yunling nodded, "Uncle Ge, be careful."

"Don't worry, girl, one or two people can't do anything to me."

Yunling was restless in the room and didn't even take a few bites of the food she asked the waiter to deliver. I don’t know what the situation is like outside. Lao Ge has been out for more than two hours and has not come back yet.

She was even more worried that Cui Qiyan would find out about her departure, and Lu Siheng would not have written the letter to him if she had known about it. If they came looking for her, she might not be able to leave.

When the sun went down, Lao Ge came back from outside.

Yunling quickly invited him in and poured him a glass of water.

Lao Ge finished the drink in one breath, put down the cup and said, "I heard about it."

"Who are the people entering the city?" Yunling asked hurriedly.

"It's Pingyuanhou's men. He took refuge with the second prince. Taking advantage of the emperor's serious illness, he raised an army to seize the throne."

"Marquis Pingyuan..." Yunling thought the name sounded familiar and immediately remembered, "Isn't the girl from Prince Kang's palace the son of Marquis Pingyuan Xu?"

Lao Ge's expression was heavy, "Exactly, in the name of welcoming the bride, they cooperated inside and outside, captured the city gate and let people in, and now they have entered the palace."

"Then Miss Li, the Duke, the eldest lady, the prince, and the third girl all went to Prince Kang's Mansion. Will anything happen to them?" Yunling's heart agitated.

Lao Ge shook his head, "I went to see Prince Kang's Mansion. It was surrounded by people like an iron barrel. I couldn't get close. I don't know what's going on inside."

. "

"Don't let anything happen..." Yunling prayed.
