A few days later.
Chunxu's group of rebels has successfully invaded Laijiangfu City, and the counties under the jurisdiction of Laijiangfu City have been occupied by the rebels one by one.
And Shunyuan Mansion, the provincial capital of Mo Zhang, is in danger.
The timid officials had fled long ago and fled to the surrounding unoccupied Huguang and Nanzhong.
Many officials in the provincial capital of Shunyuan, including several counties under the jurisdiction of Shunyuan Prefecture, have fled.
Even Zhang Ruijing, the prefect of the provincial capital, had already fled with his family to Huguang.
After all, the main forces stationed in Mozhang of the Mo Dynasty have withdrawn. These local officials also know that the imperial court has abandoned Mozhang. Why don't they run away and wait to be killed by the rebels?
Before the rebel army reached the boundaries of Shunyuan Prefecture, local officials from several counties had already withdrawn, and the entire city seemed to have no government management.
The night is not too dark today, there are quite a few stars in the sky, and it is cooler at night, not as hot as during the day.
It is autumn now, and although the night is cool, if you are not careful, you will still catch the wind and cold.
At this time, Ziyuan was sitting in an empty space outside the military camp, looking up at the stars and the moon in the sky.
Maybe he didn't like the excitement, or maybe Ziyuan was thinking about his parents. After reading a book every day, after dinner that night, he went outside the military camp and sat alone.
Chunxu knew this and did not stop him. Firstly, he was busy with the war, and secondly, he wanted Ziyuan to experience it. After all, he was fourteen years old now, and he would be fifteen in two months.
This day goes by so fast.
"What are you thinking about?" came a sweet voice.
Hearing this sound, Ziyuan stopped his wild thoughts. When he saw it, it turned out to be Han Muxin, the cook in the fire room.
Zi Yuan shook his head and smiled slightly: "Don't think about anything."
Seeing Zi Yuan like this, Han Muxin sat aside and his maid Cen Rong stood behind, as if watching out for them.
"Really?" Han Muxin asked again.
This time, Ziyuan stopped answering and looked at the stars in the sky.
Look at Ziyuan.

It seemed like he could communicate. After a while, Han Muxin started to talk.
"Do you believe it or not, I'm only thirteen years old now?" Han Muxin asked.
Upon hearing this, Ziyuan retracted his gaze from looking at the stars, turned to Han Muxin and looked at her: "Really? Are you lying to me?"
Han Muxin smiled slightly and shook his head: "I'm not going to lie to you. If you don't believe me, just ask her." Han Muxin looked at Cen Rong behind her.
Ziyuan looked at the woman behind, Cen Rong, with disbelief, and saw Cen Rong nodding.
But looking at Han Muxin, Ziyuan couldn't tell that she was only thirteen years old, so he asked again: "Are you... really thirteen years old?"
Han Muxin nodded: "Why are you lying to me? I am really thirteen years old, younger than you. I actually don't know why I grew so tall at the age of thirteen. If you walk on the street, just ask anyone , they also don’t believe that I am only thirteen years old.”
Now, Ziyuan became more curious: "How did you join the rebel army?"
Han Muxin looked around and saw Ziyuan's curious look. He thought he was not a bad person. Moreover, he heard that he was the leader's son and the leader was a good person. This son should also be a good person.
"Then...if I tell you, don't tell anyone else?" Han Mu thought to himself.
Zi Yuan nodded: "Don't worry, as long as I promise, I will definitely do it. If you don't let me say it, I won't tell anyone else."
Seeing Ziyuan's promise, Han Muxin said: "Okay, then I'll tell you."
Ziyuan nodded.
Han Muxin continued: "I was in Qiongzhou when I was born. I heard from my mother that my father and eldest brother were involved in the prince's seizure of the throne. The late emperor discovered that my father, eldest brother, prince, and Many officials also suffered, some were exiled and some were beheaded. My father and eldest brother were among those who were beheaded."
"Our whole family was exiled to Qiongzhou because of my father and eldest brother. My mother said that I was still in my mother's womb at that time. She was running around and carefully protecting me. I was born within a few days of arriving in Qiongzhou."
Before Han Muxin could finish speaking, Ziyuan said: "You deserve it. If there had been no rebellion, you would be in the capital now."
Hearing Zi Yuan's words, the maid Cen Rong standing behind Han Mu Xin really wanted to go up and slap Zi Yuan twice. Han Mu Xin

It was true that he was angry with Zhuo Ziyuan.
He hurriedly explained: "Nonsense! No way!"
"My mother said that my father and eldest brother were wrongly accused and framed by those officials!"
Hearing what Han Muxin said, Ziyuan apologized hastily: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's my fault. I'm sorry."
Seeing that Ziyuan's attitude was still sincere, Han Muxin stopped caring, and the maid Cen Rong behind him didn't have much sadness on his face.
"So, you joined the rebel army because you wanted to avenge your father?" Zi Yuan guessed.
Han Muxin nodded: "My mother said that in this world, people can have no money or a good life, but they cannot live without a bad reputation. I must redress my father's injustice."
"Then... what are you going to do?" Zi Yuan asked again.
Han Muxin shook his head and pouted: "I haven't thought about it yet. Let's wait until we enter the capital."
After Ziyuan asked so many questions, Han Muxin finally asked: "Why...why weren't you with your father before? Where did you go? And, where is your mother?"
Ziyuan looked up at the moon in the sky, lowered his head, and truthfully spoke of the hardships he had endured over the years:
"That year, we were in Yishifu City in Guangnan. At that time, my father led them to continue to occupy those cities. For safety, he put my mother and Uncle Yu Hong's father in Yishifu City."
"One day, an army rushed into the city and killed everyone on sight. People who wanted to escape in the streets and alleys had no time to escape. At that time, my mother, my uncle, and I were hiding in a room in the government office. "
"At that time, we thought we were going to die. We hid for a long time and several people came into the government office. Fortunately, my uncle and I beat them to death, so they did not go back to report the news."
"We didn't dare to come out until those people left."
"When I came out, I saw that the streets were full of people who had been killed."
At this point, Ziyuan seemed to dare not go on.
Han Muxin, who was on the side, had just heard this and became excited. Seeing that Ziyuan stopped talking, he curiously asked: "What next? Are your mother and the others okay?"
Zi Yuan nodded slightly: "They are fine. It's all my fault."
"What's wrong?" Han Muxin asked.
