Although they followed all the way, Liu Yunxiang and the others had no chance to talk to Su Ruqing until they saw her entering the Harmony Garden.
"Let's look for another chance." Liu Yunxiang said.
Yan Mu nodded, "As well as those missing women, we also need to find out the truth."
"Um."
The three of them were walking back and crossing an alley when several Southern Jin people suddenly appeared in front of them and blocked their way. These people held ropes in their hands and looked fierce.
They didn't take these people seriously, but they were afraid that making too much noise would attract other patrolling Southern Jin people. Yan Mu took Liu Yunxiang's hand and turned around to walk back. Naturally, several Southern Jin people appeared from behind and blocked the road.
"Your Highness, what should I do?" Zi Jin asked.
Yan Mu exhaled, "Then let's fight, be quiet!"
Let Liu Yunxiang stay far away, and the two of them rushed forward one after the other.
These Southern Jin people are strong and have good kung fu. With the large number of people, Yan Mu and Zijin did have some difficulty. Although they were not injured, they could not get away.
If the fight continues like this, the patrolling Southern Jin soldiers will definitely find out.
Remember URL
When the situation was at a stalemate, a group of people got into the alley. Some of them had kitchen knives, axes, and shovels in their hands, helping Yan Mu and the others to beat the Southern Jin people.
Soon, these Southern Jin people fell to the ground.
The leader was an old man, and he hurriedly said to Yan Mu: "Girl, run away!"
Yan Mu twitched the corner of his mouth, pulled Liu Yunxiang, and the three of them fled together with the group. They fled to a courtyard and quickly locked the courtyard door.
There were twenty or thirty men in the courtyard, ranging from sixty to seventy years old to teenagers.
"What's going on with you three girls? I don't know that people in Southern Jin always secretly capture young women. If you capture them, you'll have to rip out your heart and lungs. Why do you dare to come out on the street?" The old man blew his beard and lectured them.
Liu Yunxiang stepped forward with a smile and thanked the old man, "Thank you, old hero, and other heroes for saving us. We are actually outsiders."
"Outlander? Then why are you here?" the old man asked curiously.
"We were captured by people from the Southern Jin Dynasty."
"Arrested as a refugee?"
"yes."
The old man sighed, "It's not necessarily a misunderstanding. They arrest women when they see them. They trap them in this city and kidnap a few every two days. Those who disappear will never come back, and they don't know. What are they doing?"
Before, Liu Yunxiang thought that they were arresting these women to show their lust for animals, but when he saw their general punishing a soldier that day, he realized that their military discipline was very strict and they must not touch women during war.
In this case, what were they arresting these women for?
Yan Mu glanced around and asked the old man, "Are you gathering here?"
Hearing Yan Mu's voice, the old man was stunned for a moment, "Are you a man?"
"Um."
The old man didn't understand why he was dressed as a woman, but he didn't ask any more questions and said, "We are gathered here because our respective wives, mothers, or sisters were kidnapped, and we plan to rescue them."
"Do you know where they are being held?"
"We checked for a long time and finally found out. They were imprisoned in the Peace Garden."
"Heyuan?"
Yan Mu turned around and glanced at Liu Yunxiang. It was not where Su Ruqing was staying.
When he looked at these people, they were all ordinary people. Although some were young and strong, they could not resist the soldiers of the Southern Jin Dynasty.
"You should think again, if you go like this, you will just die in vain."
"Even if I risk my life, I will save my wife!" A man came out, his face full of resentment, "My son was only three months old, and my wife was taken away. Because she had no milk to eat, my son also didn't. If I don’t save her, I will be a man in vain!”
"Yes, I will save my mother, I am not afraid of death!" A young man stood up and said.
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
These people are full of grief and anger, and they will not flinch even if they die.
Yan Mu took a deep breath, looked at the old man again, and gave his final advice, "Those Southern Jin people have high martial arts skills and are very cruel."
The old man sighed, "We don't know, but if we don't save those women, who will save them?"
"The imperial court is about to have peace talks with the Southern Jin Dynasty."
"Bah, the court and the army are protecting the dignitaries, and we the common people are nothing. The peace talks are nothing more than ceding land, and more common people will be killed like us."
Yan Mu remained silent, the imperial court indeed owed the people of Ling'an.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
"Husband!" Liu Yunxiang looked at Yan Mu worriedly, "Don't be impulsive!"
Yan Mu patted Liu Yunxiang's hand and said comfortingly: "With my skills, there is no problem in keeping myself safe."
"Can……"
"I might as well take this opportunity to talk to Su Ruqing."
Liu Yunxiang was naturally worried and wanted Zijin to follow him to protect him, but Yan Mu disagreed.
"She stayed to protect you."
Late at night, Yan Mu set off with these people.
Liu Yunxiang sat in the main room, feeling uneasy.
"Zijin, you should protect His Highness!"
Zi Jin shook his head and said, "Your Highness asked your servant to protect you. I will listen to Your Highness."
Yan Mu and the others came to the outside of Heyuan. The guards here were very strict. If they were good at kung fu like him, they could climb over the wall, but these were common people and only had brute strength.
Those who were impatient wanted to rush forward directly, but Yan Mu stopped them.
"I'll go inside first to investigate the situation. You guys wait patiently here."
"Sir, this is too dangerous," the old man said.
"We didn't know where those women were being held, so we rushed up to them. Even if we could get inside, we would be disoriented and lost our direction. Naturally, we wouldn't be able to save them."
The old man thought the same thing, "Young man, please be careful, we are waiting for you here."
"Well, take the fire as a signal."
"good."
Yan Mu took advantage of the darkness and went around to the base of a wall. He climbed over to the top of the wall first, grabbed the patrolman, and then climbed inside. He had no direction for a moment, thinking about kidnapping someone to ask, when he saw a man in armor on the porch in front of him, swaying as he walked, as if he had been drinking. He touched over and was about to pull the man down, when another man ran over and hugged the man.
"That woman is not only attractive in appearance, she is even more attractive when she dances. I stared at you until my eyes went straight."
Some of the drunken men laughed, "I've long heard that Da Rong's women are delicate and soft, especially Su Ruqing, she's like a temptress."
"Su Ruqing, we don't dare to think about it, but there are many women out there."
"Go away, you forgot about the brother yesterday. He just touched the daughter of the wine shop owner and was killed with a stick."
"Your Majesty loves beauty, but we are not allowed to touch it..."
"Shh, don't you want to live anymore?"
"Hey, let's go drink."
The two of them walked away arm in arm. Yan Mu changed his mind and went towards the place where the sound of drum music came from. It turned out that a banquet was held, with people drinking wine and singing and dancing. The man sitting in the front seat is tall and mighty, with a handsome face. He should be the king of tigers. He supports his chin and leans lazily on the chair covered with wool blankets. His eyes are deep and he looks at the dancing woman below. .
This woman is none other than Su Ruqing.
She was wearing crimson gauze, barefoot, and twisted, with a graceful figure. From time to time, she glanced at the man sitting in the front seat, her eyes were seductive, and the men next to her were salivating.
