Su Yunxuan waited in the tent for a long time, but Feng Yuqi didn't come back.

After more than an hour, it was completely dark and Su Yunxuan was so hungry that she got up and wanted to go outside to ask.

Just as she lifted the door curtain, a dark shadow suddenly rushed out from the side, passed her and flashed into the tent.

She was so shocked that she turned around to look, and saw Ergouzi with old wounds all over his face.

Seeing her looking at him, Ergouzi shrank his neck and quickly made a gesture to her to keep quiet.

Su Yunxuan nodded, turned her head and quickly glanced at the darkness outside, then closed the door curtain, walked closer to Er Gouzi and asked anxiously in a low voice: "How did you get here?"

Er Gouzi bowed respectfully to Su Yunxuan and replied, "I sneaked here quietly. Lady Ruoying ordered me to pass on a message. He wants Lady Empress to find a way to rescue him."

Su Yunxuan didn't respond. She looked at Er Gouzi's frowning face and asked, "Is there no one outside stopping you?"

Er Gouzi shook his head, passed Su Yunxuan, approached the door curtain and glanced outside, urging: "Since there is no one around, Lady Empress, please escape with us, okay?"

"Where are you escaping to?" Su Yunxuan asked vigilantly.

Why did she suddenly feel that this Er Gouzi was sent by Feng Yuqi or Qin Shiming to test her? !

"Yun Sheng!" Er Gouzi looked back in confusion.

His face showed confusion and anxiety, and his expression was the same silly as when he was in Yunsheng Capital, except that there were scabbed whip marks on his face and his skin was darker.

"Er Gouzi?" Su Yunxuan called out seriously.

"Hey." Er Gouzi responded, looking stiff as if he was trying to stand still after following an order.

Su Yunxuan walked towards the table and asked, "Do you still want to return to Yunsheng? Aren't you afraid of being killed by them?"

"Puff-"

Er Gouzi suddenly knelt down and said, "I am guilty. I am ignorant. I really didn't know that they were Feng Lan's assassins. Empress, please save me..."

"Didn't I save you?" Su Yunxuan interrupted.

Er Gouzi opened his mouth wide with a puzzled look on his face.

"General Qin brought you back to Fenglan. What did he tell you?" Su Yunxuan asked while sitting upright.

Er Gouzi scratched his head, "General Qin said that he saved my life because I helped Brother Dayun, and let me stay in Fenglan military camp with peace of mind from now on."

As if afraid that Su Yunxuan would not believe him, Er Gouzi took a few steps towards Su Yunxuan on his knees, raised his head and said, "Lady Empress, I really didn't know that Brother Dayun was Feng Lan's spy!

We entered the capital of Yunsheng together and stayed in the capital together for half a year. He took good care of me and I treated him as my own brother.

That night I was on duty and happened to see him coming to our military camp. I asked him what he was doing and he said he came to join the army and asked me to take him to see the general... I... I killed the general of Yunsheng Escort Banner, I am guilty..."

As Er Gouzi spoke, he kowtowed to Su Yunxuan with tears in his eyes.

He didn't look like someone sent by Feng Yuqi or Qin Shiming to test him. Su Yunxuan stood up and said, "Okay, stop knocking."

Er Gouzi stopped and tears streamed down his face.

Su Yunxuan glanced at him, and with a bad feeling, she quickly walked to the door curtain, looking out and asking, "Did something happen outside?"

Er Gouzi wiped the tears from his face with his hands, crawled on his knees and turned to Su Yunxuan and answered truthfully: "Something happened. They had a fight, and Emperor Fenglan was killing people..."

"What did you say?" Su Yunxuan was shocked and took three or two steps to approach Ergouzi.

Er Gouzi knelt on the ground, his face full of fear and said: "I heard the noisy footsteps outside the tent and ran out to see General Qin leading a group of people to a place. I was curious, so I followed General Qin and his group.

From a distance, I could see a huge crowd of people gathered around to watch something exciting. General Qin pushed aside the crowd, and I saw a man standing inside, raising his sword and slashing at the neck of the man kneeling in front of him.

At this point, Er Gouzi's eyes suddenly opened wide, he swallowed his saliva in fear, raised his hand and gestured: "Your Majesty, you didn't see it, the blood was splattering, the head hit the ground, rolling around..."

Feng Yuqi killed someone!

Without listening any further, Su Yunxuan turned around and walked out in horror.

Er Gouzi chased after him, "Where are you going, Empress?"

When he was not far behind Su Yunxuan, he lowered his voice and asked, "Are we going to save Lady Ruoying? I know the location. I will take Lady Empress..."

"Qin Shiming sent you to guard Ruoying?" Su Yunxuan asked as she continued walking forward.

"Yeah, I don't know what he's thinking. He's not afraid that I'll release him out of fellow villager friendship... It's over there..." Er Gouzi pointed the way from behind.

"Take me to where the murder takes place." Su Yunxuan interrupted harshly.

"Okay." Er Gouzi responded instinctively and ran in the other direction.

After running two steps, as if afraid that Su Yunxuan could not catch up, she slowed down and turned to remind Su Yunxuan: "It's getting dark, Lady Empress, please be careful with your steps."

Seeing the crowd in front from a distance, Su Yunxuan suddenly stopped Er Gouzi and said, "Er Gouzi, go back to Ruoying and continue to guard..."

"But Lady Ruoying asked me..." Ergouzi seemed to suddenly remember Ruoying's entrustment, and looked at Su Yunxuan scratching his head anxiously.

Su Yunxuan approached Er Gouzi and quickly reminded him, "Listen to my orders and go back quickly. Don't let anyone find out. Don't tell anyone other than Ruoying that you came to see me, especially Qin Shiming. Tell Ruoying to stay here for now. I will try to save him."

After Ergouzi left, Su Yunxuan straightened her clothes a little and walked quickly towards the crowd.

As he got closer, he heard Qin Shiming shout hoarsely: "Your Majesty, you can't do this!"

Then came Feng Yuqi's sinister voice, "Qin Shiming, did I ask you to tell everyone that if anyone dares to privately discuss me or Empress Yunsheng in the army again, they will be beheaded on the spot.

Qin Shiming, I want to ask you, have you conveyed my will?"

Private discussion?

Are there still rumors in the army?

Did Feng Yuqi kill people for this matter?

Su Yunxuan approached in shock and stopped outside the encirclement. She then listened to Qin Shiming's low voice from inside the encirclement, "I have conveyed the message. But..."

"Then they all deserve to die!" Feng Yuqi roared.

As soon as he finished speaking, the whispers of the crowd also died down.

Only Qin Shiming continued to plead, "Your Majesty, please give us another chance. I promise that no one will dare to disobey this order again..."

As he was speaking, there was a sudden uproar from the crowd, and in the uproar there seemed to be a sound of something hitting the ground.

Then, Qin Shiming shouted more and more hoarsely: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please don't kill anymore!"

"Get out of the way." Feng Yuqi seemed to kick Qin Shiming.

The uproar died down and the crowd fell silent again.

Su Yunxuan stood on tiptoe and looked inside. Some people turned their heads away and stopped looking inside, some raised their hands to cover their eyes, some had angry expressions, and more people looked terrified.
