After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 137 Change of Situation

Rong Peilan looked at Ji Yunzhang, who was wearing the uniform of a Western Jin soldier, and suddenly a feeling of grievance surged in his heart.

After wandering for so long, she only cried when she questioned Mu Chun.

She has accepted the death of both her parents and the exchange of wives.

All her beautiful pictures were just slowly unfolding when a pair of hands pulled her out of these beautiful illusions.

She thought that her father Gao Jie was the biggest sinner of Da Qi.

She is the daughter of sinners.

How could she face the Ji family who held her in their hands?

Ji Yunzhang looked back at the courtyard gate and immediately slipped into the small kitchen.

"My lady, the Tiger Guards will attack tonight, you need to find a place to hide."

"Also, Mu Chun has actually been together with Xi Jinpan for a long time!"

"Although this place is not close to the Northwest Camp, there will be a battle eventually. They have taken you hostage..."

"Husband." Rong Peilan interrupted him.

She looked at Ji Yunzhang, who was full of concern, pursed her lips, and whispered after a moment, "Mu Chun is my father, Rong Pingyuan."

"What?!" Ji Yunzhang thought he had heard it wrong.

"Hasn't my father-in-law already..." passed away already?

The screams outside continued, and Ji Yunzhang came to his senses.

No matter who Mu Chun was, he deployed everything.

Ji Yunzhang frowned, "From the very beginning, it was not just a plot to usurp the throne. Mu Chun has been planning for many years just to destroy Da Qi."

"Perhaps, Prince Qing is just a chess piece in the plan."

As he spoke, he looked up at Rong Peilan with a complicated expression, "Mu Chun hasn't contacted you in all these years?"

"No." Rong Peilan shook his head.

"He has become someone I don't recognize."

Rong Peilan knew that now was not the time to reminisce about the past, and she had no time to explain more.

"My dear husband, the most important thing now is the safety of Yanjing. Mu Chun and the Western Jin Dynasty have evil ambitions. They want to annex Daqi."

"I don't know what they have deployed in Yanjing. They now call Yanjing a cage that you can't fly out of."

Ji Yunzhang took two steps forward and gently held her in his arms.

"My lady, don't be afraid. I am here. After the battle of Fengqing is over, I will send you back to Yanhui first."

"This battle will surely cause serious injuries. I will try to send you to Jinpeng then."

"Jin Peng?" Rong Peilan raised her head. "Why?"

"Jinpeng has a special terrain that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. When Daqi was founded, Jinpeng was surrounded and was only recovered."

"If you go to Jinpeng, my father and I can go to the battle and kill the enemy with peace of mind."

"When the time comes, you and the child will wait for us in Jinpeng."

Rong Peilan nodded.

Suddenly, a dull horn sounded in the sky.

It's the signal to attack the city.

"The Tiger Guards are attacking the city. Ladies, do you have a place to hide?"

"Yes, there is a tunnel in this room!"

Ji Yunzhang took one last look at Rong Peilan and said, "My dear, I will definitely come to pick you up!"

After saying that, he flashed out of the house, and in two breaths he jumped over the wall and disappeared.

Ji Yunzhang disappeared in an instant.

Haitang felt relieved after seeing the prince. She turned around and eagerly grabbed the young lady and said, "Young lady, let's go down the tunnel quickly!"

Just as the two were about to move the big pot, Wan Lie rushed in carrying a small bag.

"Girl, follow me!"

"Wan Lie!"

Haitang didn't know where she got the courage from, she was no longer trembling in front of Wan Lie. She stood in front of the young lady with an indignant look on her face.

"If you want to run, run on your own!"

"We have already run from Yanjing to the border, which is a dead end! These Western Jin people kill without blinking an eye. The army of Daqi will soon invade. If you want to go to Western Jin, go by yourselves. Our young lady will not be a traitor!"

Rong Peilan looked at Wan Lie and said, "Haitang is right. In the eyes of the Western Jin Khan, we are lambs to be slaughtered."

"If the Western Jin Dynasty had made arrangements in advance, they wouldn't have detained us here for so long."

"Mr. Muchun thought he had found a good master, but in fact he was just following a jackal who took advantage of people's hearts."

"Now that disaster is imminent, I don't need your protection. Go find another way out."

As she spoke, she glanced at the kite that had not moved in front of the windowsill. "It's better than following Mu Chun and worrying about losing my life anytime."

The low horn sounded again, and then the earth trembled faintly, as if thousands of troops were galloping.

Wan Lie glanced at Haitang who was loyally protecting her master, then reached out and knocked her out with a knife.

He had a sullen face and said only one sentence, "You don't know the suffering of the gentleman, girl, I'm sorry."

Rong Peilan was horrified and took two steps back, "You!——"

Before she could finish her words, she felt a pain in her neck and fainted completely.

Wan Lie easily carried the two men on his shoulders, and within a few breaths, he had landed in the ancestral hall in the southwest corner.

Muchun was already waiting here.

From the city wall, shouts of battle could be heard continuously, as the two armies were facing each other.

At this time, no one paid attention to the situation of this small ancestral hall in the southwest corner.

"quick!"

Mu Chun turned around and went into the ancestral hall, moved a candle holder in the corner, touched a small iron ring, and when he opened it, he found the entrance to a tunnel.

It’s not that Feng Qing has no way out, it’s just that not many people know about it.

More than ten years ago, when Fengqing was rebuilt, Rong Pingyuan brought his wife and daughter to Shiqiu. The city guard of Shiqiu was his classmate.

His classmates knew that he was proficient in the Bagua formation, so they asked him to participate in the construction of a well-connected secret passage under Fengqing.

So when Mu Chun asked Molena to defeat Feng Qing, he did not attack with force but only used medicine.

This prevented them from having the opportunity to escape underground and captured most of the Fengqing civilians.

Civilians are a powerful weapon to threaten the Tiger Guards.

But Moller was too arrogant and acted on impulse, killing all the civilians.

Wan Lie placed the unconscious Haitang at the entrance of the tunnel of Fengqing Temple.

Turning around and reaching out to help him, Mu Chun handed a token into Wan Lie's hand.

"This is the order from the Jinpeng City Guard. You take Lan'er and go first. I will find a chance to attack Jinpeng."

"gentlemen?"

Mu Chun waved at him, "You guys go first, I have something else to do."

Wan Lie knew that the master was very wise, and that they had to leave first so that he would not have to worry about the future. He could only say, "Master, be careful."

"Well, let's go."

Wan Lie took the token, took one last look at Muchun, then disappeared into the tunnel entrance with Rong Peilan on his back.

Mu Chun took a deep breath, covered the entrance of the tunnel, restored the ancestral hall to its original state before walking out of the hall.

Wan Lie didn't know how long he walked before he walked out of the tunnel.

The moment he saw the light of day again, Feng Qing was already very far away.

The sound of fighting seemed to be right next to my ears.

The number of Hu Ben troops was much larger than that of the Western Jin army.

The Northwest Army’s reinforcements will not arrive until tomorrow morning at the earliest. In one night, the Western Jin Dynasty will probably flatten Shiqiu.

The gentleman has said before that the Western Jin Dynasty is not good at tactics, and Moller will avoid its sharp edge and will not confront the Northwestern Army head-on for the time being, which will only make it chase tiredly behind him.

So he had to go to Yanhui first, which was the headquarters of the Northwest Army.

He looked for another opportunity to take the girl north to Jinpeng.
