"Where is this?"

"Haven't you left the city yet?"

“We want to get off!”

"Stop, we want to get off!"

Gu Feiwan and Qingshuang shouted loudly and tried to pull the front door, but the carriage was moving too fast. If they didn't hold on to the handrails with both hands, they would be thrown out!

At first, the sergeant driving the carriage outside responded twice:

"Don't worry, ma'am, we are just ahead!"

But after answering two or three times, there was no response, and the carriage accelerated forward instead!

"If you don't stop, I'm going to call for help!" Although Gu Feiwan's voice was hoarse, she still shouted with full force at this critical moment!

The soldier still did not respond, and the sound of the whip became more and more urgent!

"Help!" Gu Feiwan finally shouted and stretched out a hand to hit the car window hard!

"Shut up!"

After Gu Feiwan called for help three times, the carriage was suddenly stopped!

Gu Feiwan and Qingshuang were caught off guard, and they both fell backwards and were thrown back hard against the car door!

"Boom!"

"Ah, it hurts!"

"Miss, my hand is broken! It hurts!"

Qingshuang seemed to be seriously injured and was crying in the carriage!

The people outside the carriage heard the crying and became very impatient:

"Why are you here so late? The boss has been waiting for you for a long time. If you were any later, we would have to retreat first!"

The person who was speaking had a high-pitched voice, but it didn't sound like a woman's.

The sergeant replied, "The general's wife asked too many questions. I could only negotiate for a while, which took some time!"

"What General's Wife? She's nothing but a crying, bereft dog!" The shrill voice sounded again, making people's teeth ache:

"After tomorrow, she'll be nothing but a pile of rotten meat!"

"We still have to be careful. If she didn't have some tricks up her sleeve since the war started, we wouldn't have to hide so hard!"

"Humph, these are the abilities of the Tang and Lu families. They just want to curry favor with Ning Weizhou. Otherwise, how could they let such a great achievement fall on a woman?"

The soldier probably felt that they couldn't communicate, so he urged, "Go and tell the boss that we have brought the person. Ask him to find a way to transport him out of the city!"

The shrill voice complained a few more times before reluctantly turning away.

Perhaps seeing that there was no movement in the carriage, the sergeant said:

"Madam, you heard it all. We are the Eastern Barbarians. If you cooperate with us, you can still keep your life. If you still want to play tricks, we brothers are willing to go to hell with you!"

Gu Feiwan knocked on the door: "Let us out first!"

The carriage door was opened. Gu Feiwan straightened her dress and jumped out first. Instead, Qingshuang seemed to be frightened. She was helped out of the carriage by Gu Feiwan. She hid behind Gu Feiwan, shrank her head and glanced around!

"Get in!" The shrill voice sounded again. Gu Feiwan raised his head and saw through the veil that it was a scholar with a fair face and no beard. His every move and gesture made him look like a girl in the boudoir, but his eyes and movements were deliberately exaggerated, as if he was acting!

"You are an actor!" Gu Feiwan said firmly: "You are a troupe hiding in the city. You must have been hiding for many years, which is why you have avoided several searches!"

"Madam, you have good eyesight, but it's too late for you to know now!" The sergeant stepped forward and said forcefully:

"Please come inside, Madam. We have something important to discuss with you!"

The pale-faced scholar waved his wide sleeves, raised his head and said, "Why are you being polite to her? You're still wearing a veil in the middle of the night, pretending to be so serious! One day you'll kneel down and beg for mercy!"

As he said that, he raised his foot and kicked over!

Qingshuang was frightened and used force with her hands. Gu Feiwan cried out in pain from being pinched by her, but his body tilted and he happened to avoid the kick!

The pale-faced scholar kicked in the air and almost fell down due to his unstable body. Fortunately, he grabbed the door frame in time and managed to stand!

"Don't keep the boss waiting!" The soldier pushed the pale-faced scholar.

The pale-faced scholar glared at Gu Feiwan fiercely, then stomped his feet and twisted his body to go into the house!

"Madam, please!" The soldier turned around and spread his hands towards Gu Feiwan.

Gu Feiwan hesitated for a moment, but the soldiers were pressing on, so he could only hold Qingshuang's hand and slowly follow.

This is a charity cemetery in the farthest corner of the city. Perhaps the family that worshipped it has fallen into decline, and the cemetery is full of ruins. There are tattered pieces of cloth under the rubble, and if you look closely, they look like prayer flags.

The weeds have grown to half a person's height. In the dark night, it seems as if countless human shadows are overlapping each other. People walking among them make rustling sounds, as if the people who are disturbed are complaining.

There were only two good rooms in the ancestral hall where tablets were placed in the past. Candles were lit in the rooms. The dim candlelight made the shadows of the people in the rooms look even larger. They swayed back and forth, like ghosts that could break out of the windows at any time.

"Miss, there are so many people inside, I'm scared!" Qingshuang's teeth were chattering. Gu Feiwan patted her hands and asked the sergeant:

"Wang Zhong's badge is not fake. Where did you get it from?"

The soldier pursed his lips when he heard this, and then seeing the two women huddled together in fear, he said with relief:

"This is all God's blessing to the Dongman. We brothers were at the city gate thinking of ways to leave the city, but yesterday we saw one of your generals riding back to the city on a fast horse. It was his fate. After returning to the city, he didn't come to see you immediately, but instead went to the nearby sugar shop to buy maltose. Six or seven of our brothers died before we kept him!"

At this point, the soldiers gnashed their teeth in hatred: "Ning Weizhou's men are indeed difficult to deal with, but after we capture him, we will know that the brothers who died were worth it! He is Ning Weizhou's deputy general!"

Gu Feiwan's arm was pinched by Qingshuang, but she remained calm and asked, "Where is he now? Did you kill him?"

"Wouldn't it be too easy for him to be killed? We should let him..." The soldier spoke more and more fiercely, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted:

"Old Four, you talk too much!"

The soldier froze and immediately lowered his head in silence!

Gu Feiwan looked up and saw that the three of them had already reached the entrance of the ancestral hall while they were talking.

Several people were standing on the steps at the door. The first one was a middle-aged man in official clothes. He had a beard, a round face and a wide body. He looked like a kind and wealthy man.

But now, a chilling light shot out from his slightly narrowed, displeased eyes, making him exude a gloomy look like a poisonous snake.

"I have long heard of your great name, Madam. We have admired you for a long time!" The man bowed hastily.

"Madam, since you have been invited here, you should be honest and less pretentious!"

Gu Feiwan sneered: "You are really just an actor, not a word you say is worth listening to! What do you want to do by kidnapping me here?"

The man curled his lips and said, "Madam is a lady from a wealthy family, but her words are not pleasant to the ear. We are worried that Madam will stay alone in her empty room, so we want to send her to reunite with General Ning!"

"Just the few of you?" Gu Feiwan said sarcastically, "There are only five or six actors. You can't leave the city! You might as well let me go. If I'm happy, I might be able to spare your lives!"

"How dare you, bitch!" The pale-faced scholar couldn't help but jump out: "If it weren't for that deputy general Ning Weizhou, how could we only have these few brothers left? When I take you to the battlefield, I will cut you into pieces!"
