While Qin Yun was having fun with the girls, Han Jiangxue and Li Daiyu disguised themselves as fisherwomen and logged in from Yupiao Port in Qu County, Chaozhou.
The two of them did not bring any entourage, so they ran out secretly.
Li Daiyu looked around and said with some emotion: "Is this Qu County?"
Han Jiangxue said: "We still have to walk ten miles north to reach the county seat, but it is said that it has been captured by the Hongyi people. Daiyu, do you still remember that village when you were a child?"
Li Daiyu shook her head: "I don't remember. I only know that there is a big mountain behind the village and a green hillside at the head of the village. When I was a child, I used to graze cattle on the hillside. By the way, there is a river at the bottom of the hillside. Old people When it is said that the river leads to the sea, it seems to be called eastward journey."
Han Jiangxue frowned, traveling eastward?
She was once in charge of Chaozhou government affairs, but she had never heard of the river's name. This time, the reason why she returned to Chaozhou was actually because she was worried about the people of Chaozhou. After all, the people of Chaozhou respected and loved her when she was in power.
But Han Jiangxue is a sensible person. With Qin Yun's current relationship with the imperial court, there is no need to worry about the Hongyi invasion. The most important thing is that Qiongzhou and Yue have just experienced a war, and the people are in urgent need of recuperation.
Han Jiangxue naturally did not want to drag Qiongzhou into the quagmire of war, so she left without saying goodbye and came to Chaozhou to do her best.
Before coming, she had informed her eldest brother Han Weilong, hoping to get some help from him. After all, the Han family still had a lot of business in Chaozhou. She was in charge of it before, but after she left, it fell into the hands of a branch of the Han family.
It stands to reason that the Han family should not give up the interests of Chaozhou. With the help of the Han family, many Chaozhou people may be able to be saved.
As for the court?
Han Jiangxue didn't believe it. In the early years, the imperial court's control over Chaozhou was already very weak.
Originally Han Jiangxue wanted to come alone, but Li Daiyu found out. When she learned that Han Jiangxue was going to Chaozhou, she decisively followed him to find his roots and childhood memories.
Li Daiyu knew that her hometown was Qu County, but she couldn't remember the rest clearly. After the two landed at the port, they walked for several miles to Qu County, but saw no one along the way.
In Han Jiangxue's opinion, the Dongyou River mentioned by Li Daiyu should be a small place name.
Han Jiangxue planned to help her find her hometown first, and then contact the merchants of the Han family stationed in Qu County.
"Daiyu, let's walk towards the county seat. Then we can find out the whereabouts of your hometown."
Li Daiyu nodded, but just as the two were about to set off again, there was movement in the forest, like a shout, and Li Daiyu drew out the Yuanyang knife.
After all, she used to be a great master. Although she has fallen to become a grand master now, her strength cannot be underestimated.
Han Jiangxue's martial arts was much weaker, second-rate at best, but he didn't notice it.
"What's wrong?"
Li Daiyu's eyes narrowed: "There is someone in the northeast."
Han Jiangxue: "Go and have a look?"
Li Daiyu nodded, but then she said: "Follow me closely, I will protect you."
Han Jiangxue raised the pistol on her waist: "Don't worry, I am not as good as you in terms of martial arts, but I am more accurate than you in marksmanship. This is the pistol given to me by the prince, and its name is Desert Eagle."
Li Daiyu smiled: "The prince is still partial to you, let's go!"
Han Jiangxue did not speak, but opened the insurance and cautiously rushed towards the dense forest in the northeast direction.
After walking a hundred or two hundred steps, the two of them heard the sound coming from inside clearly.
"Sir, please let us go. I am an old man and a child. My wife is pregnant. Please let us go!"
In the forest, a man dressed as a young fisherman was kneeling on the ground with his hands bowed, and in front of him were three red barbarians wearing red vests and wedge-shaped black leather hats.
The two men were carrying blazing guns on their backs and holding knight's rapiers. They were playing with a woman's bellyband with the tip of the sword. They couldn't understand the peasant's plea.
"Louis, what is this yellow-skinned pig talking about?"
"It doesn't matter what you say. The important thing is that we have captured another young and beautiful woman. I think Commander Heller will like it very much, but before turning it in, we can have some fun. The old rules, whoever stabs this yellow woman first Whoever has the pig's eyes will get it first."
"Then just watch!"
After saying that, the soldier named Louis brandished his one-handed sword and stabbed the young fisherman. The fisherman was horrified and hurriedly dodged, but the sword edge made a terrifying big gash in his face.
"Damn pig, how dare you hide!"
"Louis, you can only use one sword. It's my turn."
Another soldier stepped forward with a smile. The fisherman's heart sank and he grabbed a piece of dead wood. Even though his eyes were blurred with blood, he rushed forward without any plan.
"Foreign devils, I will fight with you!"
"Husband, no!"
The half-naked woman who was hung up was horrified because the sergeant's sword had already reached the fisherman's face and could hit his eyes with just a light poke.
But at this critical moment, a beautiful figure flashed over, and as soon as the Yuanyang Sword was released, the soldier's wrist was scratched, and the one-handed sword fell to the ground.
The sergeant took a closer look and was happy instead of angry.
"Louis, here comes another sexy woman!"
Louis smiled and said: "Maybe it's a rose with thorns!"
Li Daiyu snorted coldly: "What are you talking about?"
Han Jiangxue on the side said thoughtfully: "Sister Daiyu, fight quickly, there must be other sergeants nearby."
Li Daiyu nodded. At this time, the two foreign devils had not yet figured out the situation. They were still dreaming about arresting these two women and interfering with them.
But in the next moment, the Yuanyang knife in Li Daiyu's hand rose into the air, and the two of them felt a chill on their necks, but they fell to the ground.
Li Daiyu snorted: "Just two pieces of trash!"
Han Jiangxue helped untie the woman's rope, and the fisherman came forward and kowtowed: "Thank you two heroines for saving my life. I, Lu Le, will repay my great kindness by working as an ox or a horse in my next life!"
Han Jiangxue waved her hand: "It's a small effort, no need to say thank you. Get up quickly and get out of here!"
Lu Le nodded when he heard this, but he was stunned when he raised his head.
"King...Princess!"
Li Daiyu was stunned: "Does he know you?"
Han Jiangxue also looked at Lu Le carefully, but because the blood stains blurred her face, she didn't think about it for a while.
Lu Le was overjoyed: "Princess, I am the waiter of Hanjia Chamber of Commerce in Qu County. My shopkeeper has taken me to the palace to see you many times."
Han Jiangxue recalled a little, but then she thought about it. She was busy with everything, but she had some memories of the people below.
"You are a descendant of the Lu family, where is Shopkeeper Lu Wei?"
Lu Le cried: "When the city was broken, the shopkeeper stepped forward to resist these foreign devils in order to cover our escape, but was captured by them! Princess, when will the troops from the court arrive?"
Han Jiangxue shook her head: "I am no longer the Princess of Chaozhou!"
Lu Le paused: "Does the princess refer to the official document issued by the court? In Lu Le's heart, the princess is definitely not a shameless person. We believe in the princess."
Han Jiangxue gave a bitter smile: "If you don't say this, hurry up and get out of here first!"
But just as everyone was about to leave, the woman beside her frowned, her face turned pale, and scarlet blood dripped from her skirt.
"Husband...husband, it hurts me so much!"
Han Jiangxue and Li Daiyu looked at each other, secretly saying something was wrong.
Lu Le hurriedly stepped forward: "Madam, hold on, we can escape soon!"
The woman burst into tears: "Husband, our child...is gone!"
Li Daiyu lifted up her skirt and found a wooden stick stuck in the woman's lower body. Her face turned cold.
"brute!"
Li Daiyu stepped forward quickly and chopped up the two already dead foreign devils a few more times. Han Jiangxue muttered: "I must go see the doctor!"
Lu Le cried sadly: "Within a hundred miles around, only Qu County has doctors, but Qu County has been occupied by those foreign devils..."
The woman shook her head and stretched out her hand, and Lu Le stepped forward to hold it: "Husband, I am no longer innocent, so what's the point of living? If you remember to marry again, it will be postponed to the Lu family... I, I'm sleepy!"
"Husband, see you in the next life!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman tilted her head and fainted.
"No, madam, when you wake up, my husband will take you to see the doctor!"
Lu Le held the woman in his arms and ran towards Qu County like crazy.
Han Jiangxue secretly sighed that something was wrong, and sure enough, without running a few steps, she attracted the attention of the Hongyi people.
"Damn Louis, how long does it take to pee?"
"There is someone in front of you, be alert!"
"No, Louis is dead. Chief Heller's nephew died in the hands of these pigs. Catch them!"
