The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

The next day, just after dawn, Xu Yao and his team had packed up.

Zhuang Mu's goods were all outside the city and did not come in because customs duties were required to enter the city.

The escorts who were on guard had been waiting outside the city for a whole night. Now that they heard that they could leave, they had already rested and reorganized their team.

When Old Man Qu heard that they were leaving, he packed up his things and ran with them without hesitation.

Xu Yao laughed at him: "Aren't you afraid of an attack from Beichen people?"

Old Man Qu glared at her and said, "Bullshit! I escaped because I didn't want to be caught by those people helping Beichen and made a veterinarian. If they come and find me now, won't they still catch me and take me back to do hard labor? You have to run when you need to. It's better to be prudent and protect yourself. Do you understand?"

Xu Yao laughed, asked him to take good care of the two patients, and left with Zhuang Mu's carriage, while he stayed behind.

Not long after making sure the team had safely left the city, she went to the county magistrate and killed him.

This old guy opened a brothel with the people of Beichen, and he was not a good person either. Xu Yao hung his head on the city gate.

The people in the city suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums. No one knew where the sound came from, but they could only hear someone shouting, "Beichen is coming, run away, Beichen is coming, the county magistrate has been killed."

The sound spread quickly and countless people were startled.

Fireworks were set off everywhere in the city and the people were suddenly panicked.

Pei Shuo and his companions hid on the top of a hill and saw fireworks being set off in the city and countless people running out of the city.

Qin Sihai climbed out of his concubine's bed and realized that something big had happened. He hurriedly found the guards guarding the city and asked them what had happened. The guards were also very panicked. These people were just a makeshift team and could not compare to the generals who had guarded the city before.

He was in a panic and had no backbone at all.

It was not until Qin Sihai slapped the man hard that he came to his senses and said in a daze: "Beichen called, and the county magistrate's head was hung on the top of the city wall."

When Qin Sihai heard this, he was outrageous. Without saying a word, he took the treasure he had just looted and ran away along with the guards who had arrived a few days ago. He didn't even want his concubine and just threw her off the horse.

Liu Tong saw a small group of soldiers fleeing and sneered, "Qin Sihai got off easy."

Pei Shuo said calmly: "It's okay, he's just a nobody. Only if he escapes, the people will believe that Beichen is really going to attack. If he escapes early, there will be a glimmer of hope."

Xu Yao quickly rode over and caught up with Zhuang Mu and the others.

In order to avoid running into Beichen's army, they took a special path that only the escorts knew.

Although the road is a bit rough, it is safe at least.

On the way, they passed a small village that was full of dead bodies. It was obvious that a war had taken place not long ago and the people had been robbed.

The bodies were buried and exposed on the roadside, with no one paying attention.

Zhuang Mu felt that this situation was truly tragic, and after thinking about it, he discussed with Xu Yao and decided to dig a hole on the spot and bury all these people.

Xu Yao did not object. After all, the corpse had been exposed to the air for too long, so it was inevitable that viruses would be produced.

War is horrible enough. If a terrible virus is produced and spreads, it will make things even worse for the people who have managed to survive.

This time they avoided places with villages and walked for two or three days with difficulty before finally reaching the border town of Beichen.

Zhuang Mu is indeed a merchant who often travels on this road, and he has his own way of passing through customs.

Although he did not have the pass from the Great Zhou Dynasty, he seemed to know someone who forged it and actually made a set of pass for the Beichen people.

The document showed that they were from Beichen who went to Da Zhou to do business. Now that Da Zhou was at war, they had no choice but to return.

The place of Beichen was originally of the same clan as the Great Zhou, but due to war among their ancestors, the country was torn apart and each country was established.

Zhuang Mu was very familiar with Beichen, so he was the one who initiated all the external communications. With Old Man Qu there to give some advice, these people were not suspected.

They entered the town and found an inn to stay.

Zhuang Mu knew the shopkeeper and had reserved a few nice guest rooms for him.

The shopkeeper sighed: "Fortunately you came early. I heard that the army of North City arrived in Da Zhou and killed many civilians. General Lu Huai's nephew Lu Xun issued a military order to attack Ghost Eye City. The city was taken, but when they arrived, the city was already empty. Those civilians seemed to have received the news in advance and had already fled. They went there in vain and got nothing. They were very angry."

They took a small path, and they didn't know the news would be transmitted back so quickly.

Hearing the shopkeeper say this, Zhuang Mu couldn't help but shiver.

Fortunately, I listened to Xu Yao and left early, otherwise I might have walked on the main road and met Lu Xun and his people, and I would have been robbed by them.

This Lu Xun is no good person. Not to mention the people of Da Zhou, he would even rob the merchants passing by Beichen. He is simply a bandit.

But there happened to be a big tree behind him, so the merchants who were robbed had no choice but to hand over the silver obediently to avoid losing their lives.

Xu Yao had half-closed his eyes and wanted to take a good rest after getting off the carriage. But out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to see an acquaintance.

She turned her head and took a closer look, only to see a group of people on horseback galloping past her.

Xu Yao immediately recognized the leader as Zheng Chi.

He is here!

After Xu Yao escaped from the palace, he had been trying to find trouble with this man, but he was never able to find any news about him.

I didn't expect him to appear here.

Zhao Xi was even angrier than her. Xu Yao only felt pain in her chest and couldn't stop the anger. She knew why without thinking.

She patted her chest and urged herself to calm down so as not to let anyone notice anything unusual.

Pei Shuo and Liu Tong went to the room to rest. When Xu Yao was the only one left in the room, she sat cross-legged, regulated her breathing, and calmed her mind.

"Don't be impulsive."

"I will kill Zheng Chi and cut him into pieces."

Xu Yao sighed: "Killing is fine, but you have to stay calm and not act impulsively. Have you forgotten that you were almost killed by the Crane Guardian last time?"

Zhao Xi didn't say anything. Xu Yao called her twice but she didn't respond. Xu Yao thought that she had heard what he said.

After dinner, showering and changing clothes, Xu Yao went to bed early. She never expected that in the middle of the night, while she was asleep, Zhao Xi snatched back her body, jumped out of the window, and went to seek revenge on Zheng Chi.

Zheng Chiben was resting at the post station. He had just returned from Da Zhou and had very important news to convey to the sect.

But halfway through his sleep, he suddenly felt a cold wind blowing. He turned over and the opponent's sword hit his pillow. If he had been slower, it would not be the pillow that cracked, but his own head.

There was no light in the room, it was pitch black. Zheng Chi judged the other person's position based on his breathing.

Amid the flashing of swords and sabers, Zheng Chi finally found an opportunity. He lit the candle in the room and took a closer look. It was Zhang Yao's face.

"Zhang Yao, you are still alive."

Zhao Xi sneered: "I will send you down today to make amends to my sister."
